yanderes with darlings who only dated them because they were too horny to say no

yandere: i love you so much. i would die for you even if you hated me. you’re the light of my life. the only thing in this world that seems bearable - no utterly beautiful. immaculate.

reader: cool. now let’s fuck.

#romantic! yandere is growing on me #i view them as this blond (lowkeydyed) beauty that actually had a healthy childhood #except they read too many idealized romance novels #and their parents had too perfect of a relationship #yandere #yandere x reader #yandere oc #yandere x you #yandere imagine #yandere fic #yandere oc x reader #yandere core #darling core #obsessive love

sometimes being aroacespec is confusing. what do you mean, most people can tell the difference between platonic and romantic and sexual attraction? what do you mean people don't "choose" crushes? what do you mean that people can imagine themselves in a physical situation with someone else?? isn't dating just Friendship Plus??? hell, isn't marriage just Friendship Plus?????????

what do they mean??????????? what are feelings???? why am i so confused????????

*edit: changed "aroace" to "aroacespec", since several aromantic people felt that this was not an Aromantic Feeling. i see you, i hear you, and so i changed it to be more accurate to me personally, since i am Confused About Feelings Always

Story of a Real Romantic Relationship - Day 1

The way Mobius rushes in, the way he sits down all worked up, like this is the moment he's been waiting for all his life. (And it is sort of)

Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi work so well as a team and it's a big part of why their dynamic is so enjoyable.

They have very different skill sets, but they both know their own strengths and limits. And, at least later on after WWX is reincarnated, they also understand each others strengths and limitations.

WWX let's LWJ fight a lot of his physical battles for him, because he knows that he himself wouldn't be able to handle them but LWJ is more than capable to. A beautiful example of this is in Yi City when LWJ swoops in to fight Xue Yang, and tells WWX that he has the fight handled. WWX then analyses the situation and realizes he's of more help by bringing the Juniors to safety and investigating some more. Lan JingYi even brings this up, asking why they don't lose any words over WWX leaving LWJ behind in battle. And WWX tells him that he trusts LWJ has the situation handled so there would be no use in losing any more words over it.

On the other hand, WWX always does the talking for the two of them. When performing Inquiry, LWJ relays WWXs questions without hesitation.

When they are conducting research in the secret library in the Cloud Recesses and WWX decides to take a break, LWJ takes over his stack of books without hesitation or asking him to continue his work. WWX recognized that he needed a break and LWJ respects that and does his work for him since he still has the energy to keep researching.

They also respect each other a lot, even if they don't agree with each other. After WWXs reincarnation, LWJ never questions him about his demonic cultivation, even though he probably still doesn't quite approve of it. As for WWX I can't think of a specific example after his reincarnation rn, but I really love the scene where he drinks LWJs liquor for him at Jin GuangYao's private banquet, because the Lan Sect are not allowed to drink alcohol.

There's not a leader and a follower between them. They always listen when the other is talking, and depending on the situation one or the other takes the lead. In that way, they are equals and see each other as equals. They are not equal in any particular skill or even cultivation level, but through their different skill sets they can add onto each other skill sets.

TL;DR WWX and LWJ work so well as a team bc they know their own and each other's strengths and limitations very well, and know how to use them accordingly. They have a lot of trust and respect for each other even if they disagree. They see each other as equals and their skill sets add onto each other very well.

#just some thoughts I had while reading #throughout this whole novel I also thought that I didn't really care much that they were in love bc this teamwork is the essence of their #relationship for me and it doesn't matter whether they're platonic or romantic #however I also think it's a wonderful basis to build a healthy romantic relationship on #wei wuxian #wei ying #lan wangji #lan zhan #wangxian #mo dao zu shi #mdzs #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #mxtx mdzs

The thing driving me so insane about Loid and Yor communicating so openly is that this is how a couple in an actual relationship would address the problems they're having

She's asking him to rely on her, saying that he doesn't need to put up appearances all the time, that she knows he's capable but she's here to help and wants to, that he doesn't need to be perfect.

They're in a fake marriage. Loid has repeatedly told her she doesn't have to do anything but be around for specific events, but Yor still genuinely took up the role of Anya's mom and has been actively working to be a good mother to her fake husband's daughter this entire time, and now she's gently pushing back on Loid about not helping him either.

They aren't in love yet, or at least aren't aware of any developing feelings, but Yor is still reaching out to Loid in a way that someone in a real committed relationship would to their partner. She doesn't need to!! She's completely in her right to not help him, to not care!! He has given her the explicit permission of it multiple times!! But she cares about him, Anya, and Bond, this little family they've created. She wants him to lean on her like she does on him

#spy x family #sxf manga spoilers #twiyor #loidyor #whether you ship loidyor romantically or as qpps the writing of their relationship has been the best fake marriage i've ever seen hands down #she! cares! for! him! & want to help! & he's even realizing that he wishes he could lean on her more but cant! AHHH #but legit this was such healthy communication in this chapter that its like do either of you remember this is fake? that youre basically #roommates co-parenting a child who pretend to be married for your own respective safety? yor is an assassin. having a distant relationship #to her fake husband would only make that all easier for her but SHE DOESNT WANT THAT SHE WANTS TO BE CLOSER TO HIM!! BC SHE CARES ABOUT HIM #& APPRECIATES ALL HE DOES FOR HER!!! AND HES FINALLY REALIZING HOW MUCH HER HAPPINESS MEANS TO HIM TOO!! AHHHH #i'm being so normal about this #tc posts

Loyalty is such an underrated thing. Not just as in faithfulness, but loyalty in everyday acts. You're always so loyally by my side and on my side, so fiercely. You'd fight even me to save me. It's tough love sometimes, but the way you challenge me helps me grow so much as a person. I'm normally so anxious, but with you change isn't scary, it's exciting.

He isn't desperate for romantic love. He lives only to obey orders.

I lost the confession oooone, I'm sorry anon!! (maybe missed a few other similar asks) bu-ut yes, main reason why I draw Tobs x y/n is because he is depicted too good, too pure in fanfics, he is annoying he will kinkshame you and see how far you will go for him.

#he loves you all in his own way #I'm aware that the author showed him so pure and lovable in a relationship #but i can't see an insane maniac to be 100% selfless #and knowledgeable of a healthy romantic relationship #ask #creepypasta ticci toby #ticci tobi #ticcy toby #ticci toby #tobs #toby rogers #my work #art #funny #creepypasta #comic #but hey if you read my hcs and break his icy exterior his opinion changes on that matter

ACTUALLY I wanna make my own post it's actually sooooo fuckin annoying how many people are like "uhmm actually the tf2 men are TOUGH BADASS HARDENED KILLERS and they would NEVER do the thing in your cutesy fanart!" (both like. men on Twitter who are homophobic and some of you people!) because that is completely at odds with how tf2 treats the characters, the setting, and the things the characters do. Tf2 is a joke game with joke lore that treats violence with little weight. You're not supposed to treat tf2 characters the way you'd treat other characters for being murderers. The tf2 men are lame and sucky and they do funny dances and wear funny hats and play rock paper scissors with each other and have silly pets and fight robots naked covered in honey and they love each other so so much and they hate each other so so much and they're not cool or badass at all. Scout is not a badass. Stop it

#true mick fans drink every time i open a post with 'actually i wanna make my own post' #tf2 #team fortress 2 #and often it is homophobic! even on here even among the trans flag scout pfps there's still shit like #'you can't write these characters being in healthy loving romantic relationships because they're grown men who kill people' i hate you!! #1k

90% of kdramas are either romance or have strong romance subplots but when it’s a romcom with an autistic mc suddenly “not all female characters need to have love interests, let them be independent girlbosses” like shut up i know what u are

#extraordinary attorney woo #kdramas #go complain to the other 754 currently airing kdramas as if seeing nd people in media #in ​healthy loving romantic relationships isn’t actually rare #1k

I have heard many men say that they want an "intelligent woman" in their life. I would encourage them to think well.

Girls and intelligent women make their own decisions, have their own desires and set boundaries. You will never be the center of her life because she revolves around them. An intelligent woman will not allow you to manipulate or blackmail her. She is responsible for her actions.

Intelligent girls doubt, analyze, debate, displease, progress. These women had a life before you appeared in their lives, and will continue to have it even when you leave their lives. Such women report, do not ask permission. They are not looking for a leader to follow, a father who solved their life, or a child to save themselves by guiding them. They do not want to follow you, nor are they willing to show the right way to others.

Intelligent girls know that living without violence is a right, not a luxury or a privilege. They express nervousness, sadness, pleasure and fear in the same way, because they know that fear does not make them look weak, nor does nervousness make them look "masculine". These two emotions, but also the others, all together, make it look humane and that's enough.

An intelligent woman is free because she has fought for her freedom. But she is not a victim, she is a survivor. Do not try to limit her, because she will know how to escape. An intelligent woman knows that her value does not lie in the physical aspect. Think twice before judging her age, height, weight or sexual behavior because this is emotional violence and she understands it.

So before you say you want an "intelligent woman" in your life, ask yourself if you are really ready to be a part of her life.

the “did you have lunch? it’s alright, just have dinner a little early!” kind of friendships. the “are you in the mental space to listen right now” kind of friendships. the “i’ll just send a voice note for later” kind of friendships. friendships where you respect each other’s emotional boundaries. friendships where you remind them to have lunch but make sure you are not burdening them with it. friendships where you communicate. friendships where you are on your own individual journeys but are navigating life together. friendships which help you grow. healthy friendships. i think we have talked much about the pain of losing a friend. let’s also talk about the joy of having one.

I have a question about kink. If someone gets degraded regularly... won't that affect their mental health negatively? I see people say "stop saying you're stupid it lowers your self-esteem" but then won't being told that you're like. a worthless cunt or something. regularly make you feel just as bad if not worse?

Kinky degradation happens in a specific context, and a context based around seeking pleasure. You enter a situation based around pleasure-seeking, you experience the thing that brings you some kind of pleasure, and then the situation ends. Whereas with self-hatred, you are hurting yourself emotionally because you feel that you deserve it, and that causes you suffering you would rather not experience, yk?

Aftercare is also an important part of kink, which can be very helpful w countering any negative mental health effects. You can be degraded and then end the scene and have your partner/s be caring and kind towards you, re-affirming that the degradation was for pleasure & not something they actually believe about you/an actual comment on your worth as a person. Aftercare also involves discussing the scene + what you liked/didn't like, so if you find something does have an actual negative impact on your mental health, safe kink would involve communicating that to your partner/s.

If someone finds being called a worthless cunt sexy, and after the sex ends, they get experience comfort and care, and they are emotionally supported in the rest of their lives, then being called a worthless cunt probably isn't going to badly impact their self-image. Calling yourself a worthless cunt because you actually believe you are worthless and stupid and don't deserve anything is much different than someone you care about, and you who know cares about you, calling you a worthless cunt because you both know it turns you on & after sex they will continue to care about you. Basically its heavily dependent on the context the degradation is in.

#''cares about you'' meaning any kind of care not just romantic #m. #ask box #in general a lot of ppl have very healthy self images & very healthy relationships #and just get pleasure from being talked down to #& if that doesnt sound pleasurable to you #thats just bc people are very diverse in their interests

Your life is not always going to be easy when you’re single, so it’s not suddenly going to be easy when you’re with someone. But, with the right person, even through the hardest of times, you’ll be happy you get to go through it with them.

#i personally feel like it's somewhere in between #like sexuality and gender i think it's where you decide to choose what label your experiences/feelings fall under #it's decided between the two people in the relationship #like intimacy can exist in every kind of relationship and it's upsetting to hear people say it can only happen in romantic ones #if i were in a relationship with someone i trusted Who had an intimate relationship with someone else #if i really trusted that person i'd have no problem with it Unless it very clearly started to affect our relationship #i don't think i'd call myself a very jealous person #maybe a little envious but not jealous lol #i think restricting intimacy to one person isn't very. healthy? i don't know #like there should be other people too. support networks #we're a social animal yknow ? #it can't be possible for one person to fulfill every single need #that's an unhealthy expectation that can put a strain on many relationships i think #there's a reason spider webs are made from joined threads of silk #they don't dangle from a single piece They'd get blown away in the wind #reason why i bring this up now is bc i just discussed this with my parents who hold very traditional views #idk how i ended up being so different from them LMAO #thanks steven universe i guess!!!
