#but we are STRICTLY platonic

[thunderon]

my roommate and i have lived together for a few years now and we’re both lesbians and my family is clearly under the impression that she is my long term girlfriend that im trying to be discrete about. they keep asking questions about my “roommate” (please read that with a badly disguised suggestive tone)

im literally in a fake dating au against my will

#op #this is partly my fault. i once waited 2 years to mention my long term girlfriend to any of my family (outside of my sister) #so dating someone for years and not talking about it is unfortunately something i would (and did) do #but even outside my family #we’ve also had multiple friends think that we’re secretly dating #it’s a whole thing #but we are STRICTLY platonic #can’t a femme and masc lesbian live together in peace

roughing out ideas for a "goth/punk chick" disguise that peepers wears so he isn't shot on sight by Dominator lol

#woy #dominion au #commander peepers #ultravioart #I think the upper right gets at a more neutral design which i like #probably different shoes tho idk #my art #rough concepts are rough concepts #dressing up as a cheerleader worked on hater so dressing up as a punk girl should work on dominator right? right???? #Dominator can tell something is off with this 'cherry bomb' chick but she thinks its hilarious so she goes along with it #when she learns it's not just any watchdog but PEEPERS she nearly looses it #I can't decide if dee would be angry or burst out laughing at the cartoonishly pathetic attempt to impress her #because what the fuck dude lol #who does that #(Peepers does. he's desperate enough.) #(And not in a romantic way he's desperate to save the galaxy/hater from dominator's wrath) #(malewifeing his way into her friendzone and taking her down from the inside so maybe she doesn't obliterate everything.) #(and okay maybe it's a little payback on Hater for choosing Wander and good guy nonsense over Peepers and the path of evil) #but yeah dom and peepers are strictly platonic and are the WLW / MLM solidarity we deserve #lmafo #'The gal pals' more like THE MAL PALS #hehehoho

things i'd like from bg4 or any similar future games

I think BG3 is very detailed; but I would really like it if the backgrounds had mattered more. Or at least for every one. I heard if you're a drow/half-drow noble you get special dialogue with Minthara. But why didn't my Folk Hero!Tav with Wyll [or just in general?] Or my Outlander!Tav with Karlach? I love that your character gets special interaction with all and sundry, at times, re: class and race. But backgrounds make a charcacter. I don't need details. Just a bit of a nod. At least within the camp.

This brings me to point two. I wish there was a way to get friendship points. It is so strange the characters can be 'meh' about you, dislike you [and strongly], but high to exceptional bonds trigger romance. What about close friendships or growing into a family?

Speaking of, I definitely would have love some down time chatter. It is so strange to me that you get a 'this could be our last time in camp' but don't do anything with it. I appreciate the tiefling [or goblin] party. I love the idle banter on the road. But why not a couple of casual fireside chats. As a group?

I love Halsin but the fact that he is the only one we can have a polyamorous dynamic with, is bull. I'm fine with not every character being into polyam -- but maybe research more before diving into it. I am 90% sure Wyll would've been okay with Polyam - a triad too! - if it was Halsin or Astarion [maybe with Lae'zel but I have to play further to be sure]. I could see Astarion and Shadowheart swinging a 'v' dynamic, and being the best [or worst for Tav's sanity] of metamours! Maybe it would have been a hassle for coding to fit every configuration, but we deserved at least a COUPLE of Tav x Origin x Origin loving.

Also, I think we should have been able to encourage - or maybe it could have happened sans MC involvement - the npcs getting together.

#bg3 #baldur's gate #larian studios #i have more thoughts #but that is all im going to say for now #if i got into my frustration about how the only fat characters that are taller than dwarves are evil i'd be here all week #or why is there only ONE character of color in the main cast?? - no karlach doesn't count bc her voice actress is white #i know no one in larian goes here #but if anyone is ever considering an if or a video game! keep this in mind #i really love how games like wayfarer/infamous/dropout/exile [to name to name a few] have 'main' characters who are either #strictly platonic or can differentiate between what dynamic mc will have with the potential romance options #i also love how they have subromances #i wanted to list that too put this was getting long #i also no one but my moots will read this but that's perfect bc we can bitch in peace #nd that's what i wanted to get off my chest #i keep looking at karlach and dammon and being like roflmao why cant theys mooch? #or if pandira was a side/sub romance or lia - i like their fces okay #and im looking forward to adair/shadowheart/halsin but what ive heard there isnt much to be excited about lmao #also there's no bg4. the header is jokes!

Satellite Boys Headcannons

Yusei is a he/they bi, Crow is a transmasc gay/asexual, and Jack is a very loud straight ally.

Aki and Carly and super into horror movies, which really sucks for Jack and Yusei who are really not into horror movies. Yusei can handle most gore, but psychological horrors really mess with him. Jack can't handle gore beyond a stab wound, but he doesn't really mind psychological horrors because he's just like 'nah im just built different (dumber)'

Crow is very superstitious, much like Martha. Knocking on wood, being wary of the number 13, throwing salt over your shoulder (though that one is kinda justified considering spirits are like a real thing in ygo) are all stuff he does on the regular

Crow is the only person in the house who can cook. Yusei has never touched an oven in his life because he's spent half of it forgetting to eat, and Jack is... Jack.

In between the three of them, Jack has caused the most property damage. This is very impressive considering Yusei likes to kick down every door he can't open, regardless of the situation. He can lock pick, he just decides not to most of the time. Crow is usually more sneaky when trying to get into places he's not supposed/allowed to, though he's not above shattering a few windows for fun. Jack just likes blowing stuff up.

Neither Jack or Yusei have gotten their ears pierced (Jack wears clip-ons), because Crow has told them horror stories of what happened when he got his ears pierced in prison and how horribly infected they got (he told them this with a bright smile because he thought itd impress them and has yet to realize the mental ramifications it has had on his family)

Hogan is Martha's last name.

Jack has the most refined fighting style, mainly sticking to hard-hitting punches that can knock you out in one blow. Yusei's is more of a freestyle, mixing both fast punches and kicks to knock someone down as quickly as possible. Crow fights like a kindergartner, with biting, hair-pulling, spitting in your eye being some of his go-to tactics. Crow has nearly bitten off someone's finger before, and is not afraid to do it again.

Crow has only ever served his full jail sentence once. Every other time he's broken out.

All three of them participate in the twin's school activities in some way. Crow and Yusei usually go to the PTA meetings, and Jack usually goes to things like sporting events because he is too competitive for his own good and nobody can stop him.

#yugioh #ygo #ygo 5ds #yugioh 5ds #yusei fudo #jack atlas #crow hogan #aki izayoi #carly nagisa #faithshipping #scoopshipping #crow: haha yeah so anyways then this weird white stuff started coming out of the piercing and it kinda started hurting but i was fine #yusei and jack: what the actual fuck. #crow probably has like amazing prison stories of him just fucking over guards in the smallest ways that hes super proud of #im calling them the satellite boys cuz i dont wanna use their ship name since these are strictly platonic hcs #we need more platonic group names #none of these three are law-abiding and im tired of pretending they are #can you tell crows my favorite #aki loves horror movies change my mind

With the Hell’s Paradise anime seemingly going strong even though it just started airing I’m really REALLY hoping it becomes popular on this hellsite so that I can finally talk to someone about the amazing deconstruction of masculinity and femininity in this series like holy shit guys it’s really good I swear.

Also I wanna meme about Gabimaru being a wife guy.

#hells paradise #jigokuraku #PLEASE there is just so much to talk about in general #the fact that we have a male-female lead duo with a strictly platonic relationship #the fascinating way nudity is used in a completely desexualised horror-like manner #(actually i’m not sure how much of the nudity is going to make the cut in the tu anime hgfchjhgf) #fricking YUI i love her so much #also yuzuriha and sagiri are GAYYYYYY #like please i need people to get obsessed with this series i really want to talk to somebody about it

[coachbeards]

also. there is something about the TWO TIMES we actually see beard shed tears in the show....it's because he's thinking/talking about hurting ted. sure, we got mentions he'll cry during movies + we never actually saw him cry in beard after hours....and we saw him discreetly wipe tears away before but. a full fledged crying scene? with visible tears? mom city speech...aka talking about hurting ted....and so long farewell when beard was crying about leaving ted. okay.

#coach beard #ted lasso #it's also like why i don't tend to buy into a lot of the fandom's beliefs that beard's strictly monotone or unemotional... #put him in a room with ted and trust me he'll feel emotions. happiness. sadness. he smiles so much with him #the times we see beard genuinely cry are because of his love for ted / regrets for hurting him #ted makes him laugh...ted's his true love. platonically romantically idc. like idc !!!! #because no matter what their label is...........ted IS the most important person in beard's life period. he loves him #he's the love of beard's life in however way you define love for them

the way mike says “were friends! were friends.” like hes exasperated, like will has brought this up so many times before, like will doesnt ever drop the possibility that they could be more. he acts like hes so tired of the prospect and come on, weve been through this a hundred times, wont you learn already? but we know that will didnt mean the question in a romantic way. and him saying “well we used to be best friends!” is a friendly little reminder that mike is doing his classic projection act all over again.

#“but were not kids anymore” core #ok will never said anything about that michael what are you sounding so annoyed over #that was you buddy youre the one who cant stop entertaining the idea that maybe this friendship isnt strictly platonic #poor guy is trying to tell himself to drop it and give up the idea by telling it to will #which will (great job to him) didnt take that and and hide in a ball of “hell never like me” #but instead was all “well we used to be best friends!” #love that for him #byler #anti mileven #a spider was on my wall and fell behind my bed #idk where it went #guess whos sleeping on the couchhhh

[nitroish]

sorry if this is in bad taste but the wording of your last post makes it seem like someone thought u and quirkle were both link irl and were upset at the idea of two real life people dating which is hysterical to me

anon you quite literally hit the nail on the head. they saw me go by legend, saw me call quirks my partner, and called our Real Life Relationship ( that is ENTIRELY Platonic by the way !!!! ) linkcest. it blew my fucking mind.

its hysterical tho ur right. moving from the fact quirks and i arent even Dating nor are we romantic and therefor cant be considered linkcest by default, can you imagine their reaction to my two partners that i Do kiss gayly? my boyfriend and my partner that i Do kiss ??? woof . they called the wrong relationship i have linkcest if they want to be loud and weird about me being Gay and kissing someone behind a dennys

#dont project your worry of me and my partners having gay sex into my dms #esp when 'qpr' literally has platonic in the name #at least wait to complain about it when i mention my Actual partners who i DO kiss gayly behind the dennys alrigh #ask #anonymous #waggles my fingers hi anon this is The funniest thing thats happened to me in ages #youre right cos its Hysterical #my main issue here is that they saw me call jay my partner and decided the relationship was non-platonic enough to call it linkcest???? #like #linkcest implies two things: #one !! that we are both link irl and two !! we are Making Out Gayly And Definitely Not As Friends behind the dennys at ass-o'clock at night #quirks and i do Not kiss kiss fall in love behind a fucking dennys . we are entirely non-romantic partners . #queer !! -> Platonic <- !! partners #them bein upset tht two real life ppl r dating is so funny #quirks and i arent dating we are strictly platonic buddies but my boyfriend and partner are . #and dw !! ur ask isnt in bad taste #thank ya for the worry tho :)

[sashannarcy]

ultimately Sashanne truthers did win. was it explicitly confirmed canon? no. but I think Sasha being bisexual says a HELL of a lot about WHY she acted the way she did towards Anne

#you have this beautiful tragic arc that's all about a character being unhealthily devoted to their best friend #they see themself as her protector but they also NEED her #and that desperation results in a major breach of trust to the point where things between them feel unable to be fixed #but then. THEN they WORK on themself. they grow they change they realize their devotion was unhealthy #and she comes back. and she's more than willing to give them a second chance bc oh god she missed them she's just glad they're alive #and then this arc resolves itself in show through an 'ending' in which they're still extremely devoted to her but healthily this time #and now we have canon confirmation that sasha's attracted to women. ur gonna look me in the eye and tell me their arc isn't meant to be #read as romantic? #I say this from the bottom of my heart bc I wholeheartedly believe the writers never intended for sasha's actions to be strictly platonic #they got away w what they could in a disney show #but like man. MAN #sasha waybright #sashanne #amphibia

thinking about angel banishing sigil tattoos on Sam & Dean, but in order to make them effective, they have to be tattooed with their own blood. Which apparently leads to the body reabsorbing the tattoo after a few weeks, so they’d have to do it constantly to stay safe. Sam & Dean committing to this ritual every few weeks… tattooing themselves in their own blood or maybe even each other’s…

#i do not think that is strictly healthy but this is Sam & Dean I don’t think they care #they just go ‘oh we can force our blood under each other’s skin to protect each other and leave a mark that anyone will be able to see?’ #and then don’t think twice they just do it #oh 🥺 Dean being ready to do it from the get-go. if it’ll protect Sam. if it’s a bit of him for Sam to carry everywhere… #he’s got the blood drawn and the tattoo needle ready before Sam even says anything #but sam has to be convinced. what if his blood hurts Dean. what if he’s too corrupted to protect Dean like that. #but Dean coaxes him into doing it anyway. he’ll take the risk. #and then by the end they’ve both got matching blood tattoos along with their matching anti-possession ones #and they work too. Nick a finger and put the bleeding tip on the center of the tattoo and boom! banishing. #but they have to keep reapplying them as they’re reabsorbed… #which is probably a part they both like honestly. little bit of them is going to sink into the others bloodstream forever. #they are such freaks <3 #spn #dean winchester #sam winchester #should I tag this wincest? I mean I wasn’t thinking about it I just think they’re Weird about each other #and like. what’s a little blood tattoo compared to being platonic life partners in your supernatural war bunker where you’re raising #a devil son right? #but I guess you could also look at this as a romantic thing or something. #eh. for the sake of people’s filters ill tag it: #wincest #I can see it. it could definitely be that. #look away dev

I DID NOT JUST SEE LIZBERT X FILBO SHIP SHIT ON AO3.....

I THOUGHT WE STOPPED THESE PEOPLE HOLY SHIT

They made her CHEAT with EGGABELL too?? What the FUCK and why is that here????!

#Bugsnax #ANYWAYS IF YOU SHIP THAT GTFO YOU FREAK #I don't care if people don't like me saying this Lizbert is his SISTER FIGURE and she is JUST HIS FRIEND NOT FWBS #why do people want to ship them so badly??? Lizbert is gay ffs! #AND they make her feel like shit for being with Eggabell as if she even liked Filbo more than platonic????? #Lizbert is not a cheater!! She's not a fucking cheater why would that person do that or write or post something like that???!!! #She would not cheat with Eggabell she loves Eggabell geuinely and Filbo is JUST a brother to her GOD #as if Lizbert and Eggabell weren't together FIRST. Let canon strictly platonic childhood friends stay that way! #Anyways I muted that person thank you AO3 for that function I do not want to see freaks like that in my sight #I don't even know if I should tag this because people have gotten on my ass for ship shit as is #even though we literally got on someone's @ss for doing this before #this one was literally a 2 year ago problem WHY IS IT RETURNING #This fandom really wants Liz to be a scumbag so bad they have to make sh!t up now. There I said it! Cheaters are scumbags. she is not #it would be so great if people can stop being weirdos about LizEgg in general. it's always SPECIFICALLY them too! Never any of the others! #If you want the person's name to mute then feel free to ask (Even if it's on the front fucking page of the tag *RETCHES*) #but if you're just gonna tell me to let people do whatever they want even if it's fucking wrong. Then piss off #I'd LOVE for anyone that genuinely defends that ship to stay away from me. Reminder We've been here before and dealt with it so wtf???

saiki fandom hasn't let me down yet so here's the next prompt: saiko and rifuta

its pretty much the other wise or my last prompt and what could happen, where imu and metori bond over hating saiki over having teruhashi liking him, and set out to ruin midlife and his life in particular. the psykickers + akechi have to make sure kusuo's family isn't in constant danger and build up kusuo's like meter to average constantly. it really is a yare yare moment

(they both also get a small crush on kusuo after a bit like rifuta does it in cannon but it'd be real funny for metori to be like 'huh this pink haired pleb does have a few decent qualities, maybe i like him more than kokomi')
