one big thing about polyshipping for me is, like. you know how some people will have their eyes opened to homoerotic relationships in media bc they'll realize, "wait, if these people were two different genders, i'd 100% assume they're into each other. i have a double standard that i never noticed"?
there's a polyamorous equivalent in certain media that's basically just. "if you didn't assume this character is monogamous, you would 100% believe they have crushes on & are dating all of their friends." OR, "if this character wasn't dating somebody else already, you would 100% interpret this new friendship of theirs as a crush/budding romance."
usually the creators of the media aren't thinking about polyamory when they make it! usually the creators of the media are thinking "i want this character's friends to be as important to them as their romantic partners, we don't get enough of that in media," which is great and true and also EXACTLY WHY IT WORKS AS A POLY NARRATIVE. people will be like you don't Have to polyship why can't you just let platonic relationships be important ugh 🙄 & i'm like i did my years in the "why can't two men just be friends why does everything have to be gay 🙄" trenches. you're not doing this to me. we're not doing it about polyshipping. we're skipping over that whole discourse cutscene because i am Too Tired For It. don't even start
sometimes characters are so full of love and affection and joy for so many people that i start gnawing off my hands about how polyamory isn't normalized. because i'll watch/read certain media and i'll be like. listen. this is a polycule. i know you don't know this because your creators don't know this and that is totally okay but you are a Wildly polyamorous person who's ambiguously trapped in the 2000s/2010s with Big Monogamy psyops eating your brain. please let me free you. please i can give you Everything .
PLEASE KISS YOUR FRIENDS

Who: Tasha and @jaceeverett
Where: Pine Grove Gardens
When: Royal gala, January 2024
Being able to dress up and go all out, was something Tasha missed about life in Los Angeles. The excitement of going out for a night on the town at the different clubs the city had to offer, was something that she wasn't able to duplicate since she moved to Merrock. However, at the mention of a royal gala, she had been intrigued. So she got dressed up like she used to; except with a ball gown rather than a cute and short dress; and did her make up, and put on some cute accessories. Feeling confident, she made her way out to the countryside, hoping she'd have a great night. As soon as she entered, she knew it was going to be a great night. Taking some time to find a familiar face, she settled in on sneaking up behind Jason, making sure he was the first person she would say hello to. "Well look at you, Mr. Park Ranger. You sure do clean up nicely." She said, as she playfully hip bumped him.

Hello everyone! Just a quick continuity update for Alfonse: following the ending of Book VII, Alfonse’s canon point will now be taken post Book VII, after Nihility and Dream. Every other side event stories that have transpired within the duration of this book will also be canon to him (TT(+), Forging Bonds, Paralogue stories, etc.), though with less emphasis on those that don’t involve him. Alfonse now better understands Fódlan and The Officer’s Academy following the (ultimately unfruitful) attempt of its replication in Askr. He will also now be acquainted with Elyos & Vanaheimr, as well as the FE:Engage & Book VII casts.
As of this update, the following characters form a (somewhat) notable relationship with him in FEH, and these relationships will also be canon to my portrayal of Alfonse— the more impactful of which are bolded. If there’s anything necessary to discuss, please let me know:
Alear (F)
Diamant
Ced
Leif
Ingrid (Three Hopes)
Geoffrey
To reiterate: Alfonse will still treat every Hero he meets in TOA as strangers out of respect. This will mostly take effect on how he views other characters personally. I hope to make a more in-depth post about these changes soon, but for now this will have to suffice. Thank you for understanding!
Additionally, as of this post, I’ve caught up on every single Forging Bonds. Please ask me for a fun FEH fact. I have so many. Please.

tubbo somehow still being dream-coded by adressing everything under the sun a win for us i guess???????? why is life so weird, why are these kids treated like politicians, why do people care more about mcrafters than voting, why is this our reality GET ME OUT OF HERE
oh god tubbo rn is so dream 2020 core like actually just revealing everything and addressing every little thing and I understand so deeply why because this time last year everything he said was completely taken out of context in a hate campaign against him but now he feels the need to address everything and over explain himself so much and he's streaming for like 9+ hours a day every day like maybe it's time to retire the alt streams 😭😭😭
