#who was his platonic partner

[vampirenicotine]

that moment when you’re going about your day and you remember that silver openly declared to flint that he’s his partner in the way thomas & miranda were and flint didn’t deny it but instead said a few episodes later that i would, “be forced to hesitate before hurting you”

#like what #also like the fact flint literally killed gates #who was his platonic partner #just proves that silver was in the camp of his romantic partners #which is why he honestly did nothing about silver betraying him #THIS SHOW #silverflint #black sails

Yeah I was right and there was no way I was getting the rest of this done without making you all wait another month or two, so I just went to the next good break point. We're officially past the halfway point with Astarion though, so not too much longer before you actually get to see Rolan again!

Prompt 115

“Seriously old man?” the rumbling voice nearly caused Tim to jump, his eyes darting away from where Ras was sitting, the Al Ghul almost seeming to perk. It was kind of hard to miss the man… teen… being? It was kind of hard to miss the owner of the voice what with how their hair looked like it was on fire. 

They motioned around at well, everything, crimson eyes looking exasperated. “Really?” They were definitely motioning towards him, interrupting Ras when he opened his mouth to talk. “No, I don’t want to hear it, I swear- Did he kidnap you?” That was definitely aimed at him. 

“N-no?” Tim was feeling slightly unbalanced and may be on hour sixty without sleep at this point, if the hour long nap was counted. “I need help finding my not-dad who's lost in time.” 

The being let out a strangled noise that Tim could nearly swear was almost another one, but couldn’t vocalize his slurred thoughts as the dude muttered something, motioning around as though he was tempted to strangle something or someone. 

Ras cleared his throat, looking almost awkward which was how Tim knew he had to be dreaming or drugged. Probably drugged. “Jordan, how good to see you, it’s been so long-”

“Can it Pops,” the being-named-Jordan scoffed, finger pointing towards the Demon’s Head. “Moms still pissed and isn’t coming back any time soon with you still pulling this shit.” 

Tim felt his brain stall, process for a moment, then process some more over what he just heard before his mouth ran before it could catch up. “Ras is married???” 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #league of assassins #Are Danny and Ras married? Who knows #They did raise their kids together #Well technically Dan & Ellie got de-aged but still #They met during time shenanigans for Danny #Trained together for a bit and became a tiny bit of rivals #Ras missing his platonic or romantic partner: If I adopt-steal these teens/children I can pspspspsps them back #Jordan looking down at Talia: Hello demon child #Talia: Brother Damian isn't talking to me anymore and I don't know what to do T-T #Ellie: Would he like more siblings?? That made us feel better??? #Talia: Of course I can make clones to send to him he shall surely call me back then! #Dusan: Sister I don't think that is what they were saying- #Talia: I have things to do out of my way Ghost! #Tim is so tired and has no clue what's going on #Jordan: Whelp I'm going to help you out because I'm always one to take Mom's side against pops #Tim: What #Jordan: Let's go bother the primordial being of Time he happens to find us amusing anyway #Tim: W h a t #deadly decisions

had a human au thought of Barnaby and Wally. idk doing their taxes or going through bills together since they share a house & Barnaby going "hey we could get married for tax benefits and health insurance. wait no what if i want to marry Howdy someday? it's illegal to be married to two people." Wally goes "we could get divorced" and Barnaby gets legitimately sad like:

#wally: uhhhhhh. um. i think i left the oven running #barnaby: YOU DONT BAKE- GET BACK HERE AND ANSWER THE QUESTION #in human au barnaby's ideal world he can marry both his platonic life-partner And the love of his life #but the american government says No smh #my heart goes out to polyams everywhere #fuckkkkk getting unwell about this aus barnaby and wally again everyone #like i have so many different little plot lines and mini aus for the au #like what if there was a covid arc? #in my mind lockdown happens while wally is Elsewhere #so he cant exactly get back home! and obviously no one is happy about that but wally is dealing well enough #but barnaby's like 🥺 my lil buddys out there all on his own and im alone here so im gonna call him every day #(also i like to think that howdy spends lockdown w/ barn or vice-versa but this aint about that) #wally: vibing #barnaby: a bit of a wreck #absolutely unprompted #wh modern human au #but then also Angsty Thoughts of yo when they all get old uhhh who dies first #and In My Mind! they both die within a few days of each other #maybe barnaby goes first and wally just. pines away. broken heart syndrome babey! #also having soft thoughts of them when they first became friends #barnaby taking him to the farm and introducing him to the animals <3 #wally trying to help out with morning chores after a sleepover <3 #ms. beagle absolutely adoring wally and always having his favorite snacks In Stock for whenever he comes by <3 #that one time barnaby broke somebody's jaw for going a little too far w/ insulting wally & almost got expelled <3 #mannn they're so! honestly goals #oh and later on when they have their own place wally having his own lil art studio #and barnaby continuing to be his go-to muse <3 #wally probably has so much fuckign art of barnaby lmao #OHHHHH AND THE CAR CRASH ARCCCCC DONT EVEN GET ME FUCKIGN STARTED #EMOTIONS CENTRAL THAT IS

I don’t really ship 87 Ramona (although I do love the idea of them in a QPR) but. If they did feel romantically for each other it would take forever for them to actually get together, if they even do, in sharp contrast to the 2012 “we’ve known each other two hours now we’re committed for life” speedrun. Raphael would have fallen in love years ago but would not recognise this fact once. Mona Lisa is also part of the problem. She has a layer of superficiality she always uses as protection over her true feelings, so how does she even know her flirting is sincere? How would Raphael be supposed to know? She’d overthink it. Also she’s a lesbian so falling in love with your best friend is like mandated and agonising. She’d have accepted her fate and already resigned herself that it’s never going to happen. She’s just happy they’re close to each other. Meanwhile Raphael thinks “huh, I want to marry her” then goes about his day. This realisation occurs multiple times but he never reads into it.

#tumblr user bulbabutt got me brainrotting about the blorbos again sigh #87!Raphael being aroace means so much to me but he can find his best friend pretty. as a treat #like I think no matter what Mona Lisa is someone who makes him happy in a way no one else does #he sincerely cares about her and thinks highly of her #whether that’s romantically or platonically is second to just have a sincere connection #they’re on the same wavelength! #Raphael has the autistic instinct to view the perfect someone you could do an improv comedy tour with as his forever life partner #also he thinks she’s cute 💖 #I can ramble forever about my thoughts on Mona’s perspective on this too but I should probably just save it for a proper post one day #or the fic I’m working on #whichever comes first AHA

i love it when sad middle aged men are shaped like a wet sad puppy

#…queer divorced dilfs they should grab a drink & talk about their totally platonic heterosexual life partners (who are both sharpshooters) #like they are both efficient and deadly at what they do but they do falter in the beliefs for their respective organizations(?) #but they’ll continue doing it because that is all they’ve done and all they’ve known. #they are doing this endless task for themselves and good of the people and their dying world #idk i just wanted to make nonsense correlations between my two favorite games pftt #also these two are so hot and aforable omg you can’t unnerstand #disco elsyium #harrier du bois #darkest dungeon #reynauld #rey willingly left his wife yeah but they both miss their wife #and harrier can be objectively more pathetic and an ass but have you seen rey’s meltdown barks

Got excited for the travel banter and then got hit with the:

Olberic: “You pray for the lizardman?”

Ophelia: “Yes. To the townspeople, they are fearsome monsters….but they are just creatures for all that and I would hope that they rest in peace”

Olberic:“Just so”

..

Olberic: “Ophilia I have a favor to ask.”

Ophilia: “What is it?”

Olberic: “Would you also pray for me?”

Ophilia: “Why of course”

#octopath spoilers #octopath traveler (1) #octopath traveler #olberic eisenberg #ophilia clement #I I just #Olberic is a man who has been carrying this burden for years #and he is in the position where he must decide to kill his old partner and friend or not #struggling with vengeance #and his own self worth and loathing #he FINALLY did it #he #he found his purpose to protect others #and now he has to find if that’s in conflict #and ophilia is the sweetest #she loves so much and so hard and is so forgiving #so in this moment of comfort is just beautiful. #god I love friends #platonic #Olberic left home and adopted 5 children whoops

mousefur and longtail are both asexual aromantic in some sort of qpr relationship with one another. Do you get it do you see my vision

#They’re life partners. One does not want to be without the other. But romantic and. The other kind of feeling are totally void from it #Is it still a queer platonic relationship if it’s a man and a woman that are ace/aro? I THINK so because the ace aro is the queer part #So that’s what I’m calling it! #when I was a kid I saw them as a romantic couple because I was very. Dense and basic on my views of things #(Ie I didn’t know gay people existed until I saw it in Undertale) #BUT. Mousefur is very obviously ace aro. And longtail also never takes a mate or has any romantic involvements or kits #So as an informed adult™️ I think this fits much better #Also I had forgotten about the fact mousefur was the one who first mentioned wasting prey. And that’s what made longtail go back #And get crushed by the falling tree. FUCK dude that’s so heavy #Imagine accidentally killing ur life partner because you said out loud you didn’t want to waste food #All this over a shrew? Was it worth it? I miss you. I’m so sorry. #HHHHHHHH #AND they’re both vaguely xenophobic! Made for each other 😔💖 #I can’t remember if longtail gets better or not post. Getting his shit kicked in by baby firestar #About like. OTHER kittypets. But I KNOW Mousefur doesn’t #Is it still asexual awareness week? It is right?? Happy week aces!! I bring you… qpr cats #warriors #warrior cats #mousefur #longtail

me when i remember that gojo never hated geto even once and never stopped seeing him as a best friend even after he killed him. me when gojo’s only regret was not having geto there to support him before his final battle. me when im satoru gojo and i choose to love one single person for the rest of my life

#this is the main reason i do Not subscribe to toxic gojo .. or cheater gojo …. or any version of disloyal gojo #this is a man who was met with complete understanding from exactly One person one single time and decided to stay in love w him forever #who was willing to bare his heart to him over and over again even when he didnt receive the same vulnerability in return #even if u see stsg as strictly platonic it says something abt gojo as a person . and how unconditionally he loves #if gojo ever fell in love w someone and actually dealt w those emotions properly instead of closing himself off #there isnt a single chance in hell that he would ever make them sad #i said what i said. #satoru ”my partner can do no wrong” gojo u are so special to me

Do you see my vision yet?

#spoondoodles #sanders sides #sanders sides fanart #ts sides #tss #logan sanders #roman sanders #logince #going insane!!! over them!!!!!! #the logince agenda has not ceased yet #tho admittedly this is still pretty platonic they're not aware of the pining yet (virgil is tho god help him) #cleaned up some more sketches of Them for funsies and here we are #this is a completely unserious HS AU like i don't have a plot or anything it's just vibes #and the vibes are them being cute and besties and also insulting each other (affectionate) #patton is just glad his friend logan has another person he's close to #virgil is Suffering from the mutual pre-pining and just wants them to get their act together (preferably away from him) #remus is the only one having a good time b/c he thrives in chaos and enjoys getting to tease his chemistry partner and his twin brother #no janus :( sorry couldn't fit him in yet #i have become fond of mociet recently tho so we'll see maybe he's roman's friend who does NOT want to get involved in these shenanigans #anyway sorry for tag ramble AGAIN i just have Thoughts

Woe another Benny ask upon ye. What do you think he'd look for in a romantic partner? Not a fling, someone he's head over heels for

This is so goading cause I could say the obvious and be like someone like the Courier but I generally have tow interpretations of this:

Someone who likes being his. Like possessive sounding I know but I think he'd like someone who's a flirt, a people person who doesn't stay put but has a strong sense of "home". I don't think Benny Gecko is poly but I also don't think this guy knows how to keep it in his pants so he can't expect his partner to either. He doesn't want you to be on his side like cling wrap but there's a mutual understanding of importance to each other. There a person who does their own thing but can find a way to incorporate him and he'd do the same but in a "Look at what I set up for us, Baby-doll."

A forward thinker. Benny likes a person of action, a person who gets things done or knows how to make a plan. He is ambitious, and determined, and he'd love to have a bird on his shoulder that helps him get things along. Like, if you ever seen the BTAS ep where Harley leaves Joker, and like he can't even remember to put on pants cause she took care of that stuff. But not toxic like that and also a bit more complex. Like he'd be head over heels for someone who moves the same way he does, a risk taker who also has a plan b and c.

I think in general he's the type to go after someone who reminds him of himself, well his positive qualities at least. Benny genuinely seems like the guy who needs a partner that he can talk to and share a philosophy with, someone who isn't just gonna agree but go back in forth in whatever aspect they share. Basically, you gotta create a feedback loop for him y'know. But in the same vein, this only applies to him. He's gotta bring this out in you and vice versa cause all in all Benny likes to feel smart and special and if they treated any pretty face with a sharp tongue the same way he'd probably immediately categorize them as a good candidate for friends with benefits but nothing special cause he's not.

#Benny is a guy who needs a partner who can think for themselves but at the same time is easy to get a hold of #like independent but obbsessed with him so when he calls they respond whether its flattering or combative depends but you need to be #attentive to him and he'll give it back in his own odd way #one is clearly more mushy but I am doing the perspective one would be helping with his plan and the other doesn't know #like either way he needs a ride or die and based on my post on someone he's super interested in more platonically #thered be a lot of personality overlap #also I just figure Benny isnt the dating partner type and more just has weird intense flings/fwb hence my interpretation of him and Emily #and my non canon interpretation of him and Swank or the Courier #hes like emotionally unwell and needs a partner who is not #fallout #fallout new vegas #cotl #benny gecko #benny fnv #fnv benny #ask #anon #l dont mind benny asks I just think hes like neat in bug trapped in resin way

Do q!jaiden and q!Roier have a duo name? They should. I'm used to calling them the familoier but that includes bobby and mostly frames them as Roier's family rather then a pair of characters as a duo in their own right.

#qsmp #raqis's ramblings #I've heard them floated around but their doesnt seem to be a consensus #i ask because the pair of them are so important to me #they have such great character dynamics #like. Roier is lonely because his friends left and spreen betrayed him. jaiden amd bobby come along. #jaiden is worried about taking up space in his home but he's so excited to make it for her #roier is town flirt who has all these romantic/flirty conmections with all these characters but his partner #his closest friend and confidant and most stable relationship is this platonic relationship #its so good thenatically and its so sweet #and there should be a tag under which to talk about it more

Marcus, using Oliver as a head rest, completely platonically: why does kaz think we’re dating?

Oliver, eating muffins Marcus made him: i have no clue man.

in honour of life with luca, i rewatched some life with derek and I have Thoughts.

first of all, why did the middle school kids go out on so many dates? is this normal? did i miss something when i was in a homophobic all girls school?

secondly, the show is riddled so full of gender stereotypes (like all the guys are sloppy and lazy whilst all the girls are neat and organized) that I kinda want to see the teased sequel show come into being so casey or derek have  one of their kids start using they/ them pronouns or something.

thirdly, it was a pretty good show and far better than the disney channel fare that aired contemporaneously. like actually funny in places? not so heightened and ridiculous.

also, the step-sib romantic vibes between them were way worse than i remembered them being. like why did the first season end with derek falling apart because casey liked his best friend? canada has a lot to answer for.

anyway. 10/10 series would recommend

#life with derek #life with luca #dasey #make it a series please #can't wait to hear the explanation as to why casey and derek live together #like sometimes a family is you #your three kids #your absent husband #your step-brother who is your queer platonic life partner #and his kid
