the lack of misogyny in heartstopper is so fucking refreshing. all of the girls in the show just LOVE each other. no jealousy. no cattiness. no competitiveness. elle, tara, darcy, imogen, and sahar are all just vibing together. in a world where literally every single tv show has women being pitted against each other, it makes me so happy to see full love, solidarity, and support amongst these leading ladies.

it is insane, crazy, nuts how good for kabru being friends with laios is on multiple levels
he has to be honest and direct with laios to communicate. laios is so so earnest and thoughtful to him, and genuinely shows him affection thru food (and kabru cant cook or care for himself) with the harpy omelette (despite the um. misunderstanding between them), promising to take him to a restaurant as a sign of how sincere he is about being kabrus friend now, and kabru returns that favor by not just helping the faligon, but eating it, and staying to eat it until its almost done even though laios assured him he didnt have to. he can get angry with him and not feel like hes fucked it all up by showing his real emotions. something about laios puts kabru more in touch with his deeper desires--he acts in ways he doesnt understand around laios, betrays himself to his conscious mind, because he wants to badly to put his faith in laios and laios did not let him down, not where it mattered. he gets to take on a job laios cannot do for himself as prime minister in training where his skillset is valuable and he can indulge in work that really interests him and it will always be appreciated deeply by not only laios but the whole nation theyre building. for as long as laios is around, he never has to worry about monsters hurting him or his home--and laios is actively working on building a world where monsters can be made tamer through knowledge about them, and has already defeated kabrus biggest fear, the dungeon. laios gives him a safe context to conquer his fear of monsters at his own pace rather than forcing himself into traumatic situations where he dies all the time

"literally what would be the platonic explanation for this?" are you sure you're ready for that conversation?

"Together." Prompts
“You and me, together for the rest of our lives. How does that sound?”
“You can count on me.”
“It’s none of my business, but… Are you guys okay? It’s been a while since I last saw you together.”
“You already are a handful. Together, you guys are insufferable.”
“Together? As in ‘you and me’ together?”
“We’re a package deal.”
“It’s just me. And you.”
“Just to clarify: We are in a relationship, right?”
“Without me?”
“I’ll go with you.”
“We started this together, and we’ll end it together.”
“I’m here.”
“We’re in this together.”
“I can’t imagine life without you.”
“You’re practically glued to each other’s side.”
“Us? There is no us.”
“I could always use your help.”
“Oh? Do we have the honor of catching you alone today? It’s been a while since that last happened.”
“Together?” “Together.”
“You won’t get rid of me so easily.”
“Let’s do it together.”
“Those rumors about us are getting annoying. How many times do we have to tell them we aren’t together?”
“No, I mean… Just you and me.”
“I’m glad it’s you I get to/had to experience that with.”
“But we share everything.” 
“We go together like Bert and Ernie. A pair of socks. Or vegemite and oreos.”

Friendship can be just as intense as romance. Romance can be just as intense as friendship. There is no one over the other. There is human connection, there is the strength of the bond that varies based on the specific circumstances surrounding each relationship. There is love - it may be platonic or romantic or anything in between. There is love, and it simply presents different forms.
Love doesn’t come with a hierarchy.

My therapist was so real for saying the meaning of life is found in connection.
People hug their friends when they meet up and hug them a little tighter when it comes time to say goodbye. My grandfather rebuilt the broken rocking horse my grandmother had as a child, a gift from her father. There's an indescribable ache that goes along with seeing someone you used to know intimately, the becoming of a common stranger. Coincidences that bind, one time I got an uber and the driver used to live in my home before me. It was the last place he saw his father alive as a child and he nearly cried when I told him the walls were still the same colour.
Has anyone ever gotten over their childhood best friend? Is that alone not a testament to the fact we are more than blood and bones.
It's all about connection, friends.

At all the people talking about how they're speedrunning Percabeth:
They really aren't??
Like, they made them be friends a bit faster, sure, but by the second book they're already pretty close friends and we're already on episode 5 of an 8 episode show.
None of their scenes have been inherently romantic, they've only served to show us the development of their friendship.
It's just weird to me that people are seeing two 12 year olds, both of whom are starved for affection and have barely ever had friends, forming a close friendship and immediately call it romantic. It is probably to do with the fact that book readers KNOW that Percabeth happens, but just because it happens eventually doesn't mean every scene they have of them being close is romantic.

Y'all ever think about how children's media is the only media to really put priority to friendship (ex: the power of friendship) and how once you grow up media starts to shift towards a focus on romantic love and sexual relationships and how that kind of puts out this idea that valuing friendship is a childish thing you need to grow out of and replace with romance and sex cause I do.

Wishing you all a wonderful day~! 🤭💕
I felt tremendously inspired after seeing these two lovely posts by @suedoodle, and with the hype surrounding the newest Nintendo game, I couldn't help myself. 😁🐘

I can definitely see The Doctor as aroace and personally I think their brand of aromanticism is one where a companion asks "so how do you tell if you love someone or if you're IN love with someone?" And aol dial up noises start coming out of their mouth. And the companion stares at them for a bit and then is just like. Okay good to know

"I think they like you." Prompts
“I’m sorry. I know you liked them (too).”
“You should talk to them.” “No. I couldn’t. What would I even say?”
“Clearly they have good taste.”
“Shut up.”
“Please, please, tell me you’re not trying to play matchmaker again. (As much as I love you, you suck at it.)”
“Good. Otherwise, that relationship of ours would be a mistake.”
“Can we not? (I just want to spend the evening with you. No distractions.)”
“No, they don’t.”
“How— How do you figure that?”
“What gave it away? The compliments? The touching? The kiss?”
A freezes. They had hoped nobody would figure out – not yet anyway – that they are in a secret relationship with B. Look natural. Act natural, they tell themselves.
Sighs. “Yeah, I’ve noticed.”
“And you? Do you like me?”
"Not you too." "What?"
“What, you gathered that from a simple ‘Hi’?”
“Maybe.” “You’re not interested?” “They just seem like they are looking for a relationship, and I’m not… I’m not ready for that. Not yet.”
“You think? How can you tell?”
“Stop pulling my leg.”
“You don’t think so?” “… Why would they/someone like them be interested in me of all people? I’m just—”
“This your way of telling me to leave you so you can ‘go on the hunt’ yourself?”
“Too bad I’m interested in someone else.” “Oh?”
“Message received.” “What? What message?”
A asks B if they are interested in person C to see if maybe they themselves (still) have a chance with B/C.
“Are you dumb or are you just pretending to be?” “What?” “You really don’t know?”
“So? I already have everything I need right here.”
Snorts. “What? We’re friends. Just friends.” (“Do they know that?”/”Hm. Sure.”)
