self insert introduction: — she works at a local diner to make ends meet, lives by herself in an apartment not far from there. she noticed peter stalking her a couple of weeks after he introduced himself; she enjoyed the feeling of protection and admiration so she didn’t mention it until there was a valid opportunity that came directly from him. she even knew he was in her house sometimes and left her bedroom window deliberately open for him. she loves how protective peter is and how obsessed he is with her, she is fine with anything he deals out to people who get in the way of the two of them.

not romantic or platonic but a secret third thing (bonded pair)

#I think more character dynamics should be described as bonded pairs #are two characters very attached to each other in a way that's hard to define? bonded pair. #are two characters rarely seen in a scene without each other? bonded pair #do two characters get anxious when separated? bonded pair #I don't mean this in a weird way I mean it in the way cats will be bonded when at a shelter together or something #this can apply to so many characters I think #regardless of whether they're romantic or platonic or whatever #most necrocav duos in tlt for example #and too many duos in fma to count #like obviously knowing me im thinking about greedling #but also the elric brothers or mustang and hawkeye #but also. many of the side characters. #doing my massive spreadsheet (almost done btw!) has shown to me that jerso and zampano are almost always in the same scene #that's a bonded pair babey #brosh and ross too. to me. #anyway. someone once left the tags ''bonded pair do not separate'' on a greedling post of mine and i haven't stop thinking about it #that's just how I conceptualize their dynamic now #two cats that have to be adopted together or else they'll start destroying furniture

[hawkinsp0st]

holy shit, this post just made something click for me.

both will and mike’s arcs have revolved around being separated from each other again and again and again.

every season they’re torn apart in some way, and one of them is desperately trying to get the other back—s1 physically, s2 spiritually, s3 emotionally, and again in s4 by physical distance…

yeah, their arcs are woven together and it went totally over my head. their happy ending is each other. it’s written this way.

#i can’t believe this is real life??? #byler #even mike’s arc…….yes el is a part of it bc she’s a main character too and their arcs are intertwined to an extent #but el spends most of her screentime each season dealing with the UD/lab/powers related stuff #not her relationship with mike #but nearly all of mike’s screentime away from el revolves around will and whatever current separation byler is facing #yeah holy shit. holy shit #el’s arc is about finding and accepting herself starting to heal her trauma & finding her real family #byler’s arcs are about falling in love. plain and simple #mike’s arc having two parallel love stories going on……….one with el and the other with will……….it’s done narratively on purpose to draw #attention to mike’s experience w romantic love #we’re supposed to be paying attention to that #i have chills. #narrative tag

[hajihiko]

ya ever think about how Chiaki and Hajime had a Thing and Fuyuhiko is implied to have a crush on Chiaki and Fuyuhiko gets pretty romantic to Hajime in his extra content and Hajime had a confirmed crush on Peko and Peko and Fuyuhiko have a complex devoted relationship

Love,..... squuaaare??

#I'm not. I cant tag this with ships lmao ita too much #Just a dumb doodle anyway #Unfortunately it can never be a full square in canon bc. Chiaki...... #But in AUs!!!!!! #An art #Kuzupeko is it's own separate not fully romantic thing to me but yknow they're close enough that theyd work a square anyway

i saw other steven universe aus for mob psycho and felt inspired to make my own

NEITHER of them wants to be themself on their own and i just OUGH #pietersite is just a combo of two ppl/gems w issues that they refuse to address bc being someone else is easier than working on yourself #also tome is here bc an au where most of the cast end up being aliens doesnt feel right w/o our resident weirdgirl whos obsessed w aliens #i plan to draw more for this feel free to send asks!! #btw DO NOT TAG AS R*IMOB PLS

[eldritch-nightmare]

saw that ur rq's are open and i LOVE your blog so:3 may i request ticci toby w a reader who looks up to him like a big brother?? platonic ofc !!! maybe they like . even copy some stuff he does (general gestures he might make, his vocabulary, hell maybe even his choice of weapon, etc) bonus points if you manage to add angst!!! have a nice day and make sure to drink water !!!

a/n: aw, i'm glad you like the blog!! you make sure to drink water too <3 i was gonna have a short little angst drabble at the end but i couldn't really figure out how to word it and i didn't wanna force it so i just turned the idea into those little kinda sorta angsty headcanons near the end.

toby w a reader who looks up to him like a big brother

warnings: platonic obvi, gn reader, overprotective behavior, mentions of injuries, brief mentions of injuries, death, and murder.

Honestly, he probably thinks you're weird as hell when you start following him around like a lost puppy.

Toby doesn't let people close to him, so he definitely tries shooing you away for a good few months before he ultimately realizes you're not gonna leave him alone.

He's not 100% sure how he feels about you viewing him as an older brother figure. I mean, obviously he's fine with it considering Sally views him as one as well but... Sally's dead. You're still alive and kicking.

He takes to the role immediately though, even if he doesn't realize it.

Whenever he's out completing missions, he always brings something back for you be it a snack or a book or some random trinket he thinks you might like.

He'd definitely have to sit you down and tell you not to copy his gestures and whatnot because while he understands that you don't mean any harm by doing it, it does make him feel uncomfortable, especially if you're copying his tics. That's a no-go. Don't do that.

His vocabulary is actually pretty safe. He doesn't swear much, only when he's under immense stress or if he's really angry, so you won't hear him saying fuck anytime soon. Unless you're around one of the others.

Which, speaking of, he does not want you hanging around certain creepypastas. He definitely has a long, comprehensive list on who you can and can't hang out with.

Eyeless Jack, Sally, Cody, Liu, and Natalie are safe. Spend time with them all you want. Nina, BEN, and Helen are on thin ice, but if you like them then go ahead. Stay the hell away from Jeff, Laughing Jack, and Candy Pop, specifically. They are all terrible influences and he immediately goes into Protective Big Brother Mode whenever they're around.

It goes into further detail than that, but just to give you the gist of it.

If it isn't obvious by now, Toby is going to be extremely protective. Like... to the point where you may even consider it to be overbearing.

He's also going to default and worry over every wound you may have, even if it isn't anything major. He isn't trying to be suffocating or anything like that, he just can't stand the thought of you getting hurt.

Real fucking hesitant to let you near any weapons. If you show any type of interest in wanting to do what he does, he will shut you down immediately. It's not happening.

And if you already do what he does, then, well... he's still not going to be okay with it. He'll watch you like a hawk if you're carrying any weapon.

He's definitely going to feel as if he can't be vulnerable when you're around. You see him as this cool guy, and he kinda feels like he needs to keep that image for you so he doesn't disappoint you. The whole 'older sibling can't be vulnerable' mentality is burned into him at this point.

And if you ever get like... severely injured? Oh boy, you can bet your ass Toby will personally hunt down the person who hurt you if they aren't already dead.

It'll take Toby hours, maybe even days to calm down depending on how long it takes you to wake up. Slender will literally have to force him to eat because Toby will simply refuse to leave your bedside.

I don't think Toby would show it to you often, but he does view you as a younger sibling to him now. It's probably something he doesn't even want to admit because he's scared that if he does, you'll be torn away from him just like Lyra was.

All he knows is that he can't watch another sibling die in front of him. He simply cannot. So just bear with his suffocating protectiveness and don't put yourself in any unnecessary danger.

He certainly isn't the perfect role model for you, but he'll try his best to be the big brother that you deserve to have.

Is there really no platonic ship name for the bats?

The general batfam tag is fine but when I want to specifically look at Damian and Tim posts or Jason and Dick or Cass and Duke or whatever other combination there's no tag for it. I want to see these two specifically being friends or family (depending on au's y'know)

And it's just surprising that in a fandom this old that there doesn't seem to be any platonic ship names being used

#i know other fandoms that have separate tags for the romantic and platonic ships #could we make some now? #or is it like “late” #because of how long we've been without? #batfam #tim drake #damian wayne #dick grayson #jason todd #cassandra cain #duke thomas

Hear me out. Arthur loved Merlin purely because he is who he is, he was so fond of him without knowing most of the reasons why he should be, but Merlins love for Arthur was always tainted by destiny, he wouldn't love him even half as much without knowledge of this invisible strings that tied him to Arthur, he did love him immensely, of course, but this love wasn't as pure and natural as Arthur's love for him

#Merlin #not merthur #Merlin bbc #merthur #i love affection so strong that you can't tell wether it's platonic or romantic #i have a short fic like that btw #or #and also i completely adore the way tagging works on tumblr and ao3 #arthur pendragon #bbc merlin #oh #and and and and english is such a weird language you have so many useless words and yet only one that means and in Ukrainian we have three #separate words that mean and #for us to use according to rules so it's sound prettier #why do y'all only have one #create another please #so yeah i love how tagging works here #i just wrote a whole another post #My post

IT TOOK ME A YEAR... BUT IT HAS ARRIVED.

If you're interested in Oumota. And Toradora. And perhaps, maybe a lil, at all intrigued by an AU of those things COMBINED!!!! I now have a separate blog for all of that over @oumota-toradora

It is, and is going to be, a lil barren, but I'm hoping that as I've had it with some of the AU posts on this blog, those of you interested could provide me input and in a way we can all collectively build up the AU together lol :) it hasn't left my mind, and it's been simmering for a while now. So!! Yeah!!!! Lol!!!

#drv3 #kokichi ouma #kaito momota #oumota #kokichi oma #hell yeah both kokichi name spellings #just gotta put some tags yall sorry lol #ik this blog is for Brother content. which is mainly the reason i made the toradora blog separate #i like the dynamics both platonically and romantically but ofc just not. together lol #so we can muck around here. and also dilly dally over there for whatever mood strikes us lmao

[cedar-sunshine]

my boys are so comically intertwined. They're two halves of one whole but it wasn't a neat split, they're torn remnants of what could have been a person and there's pieces missing and things that they picked up but they're both roughly half of a whole, not cut nearly, but torn apart by hand, sorted into mismatched piles. They were always supposed to be together and they will do everything in their power to avoid this until it happens. It's not sun and moon symbolism, its life and death, day and night, the same font saying two reflected things. They're interchangeable and complete opposites and the exact same

#🌟star tag🌟 #Tristan looks like a representation of life and feels like a representation of death #Ori is the opposite #Same with day and night #They have nothing in common but when combined they reach an equilibrium that allows them to both stay alive #Which is something that neither of them could dream of doing alone #They're two halves of one whole and they cannot be separated and analyzed properly without the other #This is why I love them #I make the two halves thing a romantic or queerplatonic thing but like #It could have been anything #They're soulmates in the way that they cannot survive without the other #They're literally two separate halves of one whole functioning thing #That could be platonic familial romantic whatever #It's just going to happen or they're going to die #And for them it was queer although its unclear whether it was romantic or platonic #Also there was a glitch with the tags a minute ago I can't delete a handful of one word tags #Ignore them please

oh it's over for y'all i did it. i cracked the code. i FINALLY. after all these years of making them my favorite accessory pairing, i FINALLY>>> have an idea for a full airplaneshipping fic where they are the main focus

#THANK U shower after a jog #for YEARS.....YEARS I TELL YOU Y E A R S #WANTED TO WRITE A PROPER AIRPLANE FIC AND NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #it's nothing ground breaking or earth shattering but like #something along the lines of: #elesa is having to take a small break from being a gym leader due to some sort of fashion gig that has her traveling all over the world #away from unova for at least a year or so #elesa and skyla had been tiptoeing a little painfully around their romantic feelings for years at that point #and the separation is putting a strain on that #elesa had internally been hoping skyla would ask her to not go through with it - but she didn't #(bc skyla is never going to let herself be the thing that gets in the way of elesa's career) #and then skyla gets in her head about figuring it's her own fault for not saying anything if elesa finds a real partner while she's away #and then maybe skyla takes a small break of her own from the gym to line up a flight job to one of the cities elesa has a show in #and maybe elesa's manager is cool and skyla works with her to more or less make it a surprise for elesa #and it's just...The Best weekend #and turns into skyla taking more and more time away from the gym to meet with elesa around the regions of the world #i want yearning!!!!!!!!!!! i want longing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i want the tension to build and build and build until it!!!!!!!! snaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #writing tag

if i had a nickel for every time the best friend duo that was the cornerstone of an entire trilogy got split apart at the end of the 3rd movie, ruining the entire trilogy for me, i'd only have 2 nickels, but it's strange that it's happened twice

#BUT FOR REAL THO #the entire lord of the rings i kept thinking that sam and frodo were gonna get together #but i had to keep reminding myself that they're movies from the early 2000s based on books written in the 1930s (i think the 30s?) #so gay couples weren't an option #and then they just go their separate ways and i feel like the movie made it clear that they don't see each other again #and then httyd oH BOY #i understand why toothless had to leave i do #kinda #but the fact that the movie made it seem like “yeah it's sad but hiccup and astrid got married so it's not really THAT sad” is what got me #like ok got it lesson learned: all your friends will eventually leave you but it's ok cause you'll have a romantic partner for life #if you don't have a romantic partner for life well then i guess you're just fucked #it's this alloromantic Thing that society does where they treat romantic relationships as better than friendships and i HATE it #i cried for so long after i saw that movie #and the friend who i saw the movie with and who i was talking to about how sad i was #was like “i'm never gonna ditch you” #and then guess what you guys #she just stopped talking to me one day #hasn't spoken to me since #my post #ALSO I JUST FOUND OUT YOU CAN EDIT TAGS AFTER YOU HIT ENTER #SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO RETYPE THE WHOLE THING IF YOU NOTICE A SPELLING MISTAKE AFTER YOU HIT ENTER

[gayofthefae]

El's arc is all about making active choices for herself.

El has actively returns to Mike once, in season 2 after being involuntarily separated.

El actively leaves Mike twice, in season 3 and 4.

El returns to Mike in seasons 3 and 4, but notice how I did not include those. In season 3, she does make the choice to return, but she does not initiate it so I am not counting it as the same empowerment the others are played to us with. In season 4, she comes back for MAX, and it is made clear that that is who it is for. She is not choosing to undo her decision to leave Mike (which was personally to Mike because of the note she left him). She is returning to someone else and Mike is on the way.

Do you hear what I'm saying? In an arc that is all about making active choices herself, El has never initiated the independent choice to specifically come back to Mike after leaving him. And leaving him has always been played as a good and empowering thing for her.

El coming into his life is passive. She comes back to him actively once. Leaves him actively twice. Comes back to him passively twice. "It isn't fate. It isn't destiny. It's just simple dumb luck."

*Also, season 3 is my forever example anyways because Mike and El were only separated romantically, not physically or emotionally, and for a very long time she did not move to get them back together, despite knowing he wanted to.

#el hopper arc #anti milkvan #elmike breakup #this is not truly an anti post i just use that tag #as i put in the asterisk 'leave' can mean totally ditch or just break up with #season 3 elmike were only separated romantically #they were together and talking and fairly normal for a huge chunk of the season #it was played as 'on their way to getting back together' but ultimately jt was them being friends and she wasnt making moves out of that #until later #and we even see her almost walk away before turning around to #not to say she didnt want to but it isnt her big empowering moment like the others #she likes dating him and missed it but she was content being his friend #platonic elmike #stranger things

i think my ultimate ot4 is naviidi/astarion/jaheria/halsin

#naviidi goes to astarion and says “hey halsin propositioned me can i have your blessing” #and astarion is like “thank god you're cool with this because i've been flirting with jaheria since we met her” #halsin/naviidi naviidi/astarion and astarion/jaheria are all kinda their own separate relationships until the epilogue party #where they all get wine drunk and have a foursome #things as messy for a while after that but they eventually sort it out into a mutually beneficial relationship for all of them #jaheria and halsin and never really romantically involved but they don't mind being in eachother's company or intimate together #when the other two are present #naviidi/astarion is obvs a serious thing for those two #and halsin/naviidi is equally committed #halsin and astarion share love between them as well but in a different way than they both love naviidi or how astarion loves jaheira #and most of my astarion/jaheria headcanons are based off of @cheeky-quasit's posts lol #bg3 #halsin #jaheria #astarion #tav #naviidi tag #jonathan rambles

It really is so relieving to finally find a term, and a community that fits your experience. it took finally getting onto tumblr and just looking at a maybe term to realize it, but i guess im idemromantic! it really helps to know im not alone in this.

#idemromantic #platoniromantic #ok not quite #i can tell the difference between platonic and romantic intuitively #but they are inseparably linked #its kinda like the are the bacteria that live in your gut a part of “you” #you can tell the difference but if you actually tried to separate the two it would lead to disaster #this is what people do right? #just keep talking in the tags #idk im new to tumblr
