#why are they always the platonic friend

[endlessdreamerxoxo]

If there's a chance to ship a woman of color with a beloved & gatekept male lead because there's amazing chemistry between the two, I'm gonna ship it... even if everyone hates me.

#i said what i needed to say #women of color are just as desirable #is this a little bias? yes #same thing goes for interracial relationships w/o a white character #gwen x arthur #carmy x sydney #sydcarmy #namor x shuri #bonnie x damon #bamon #namori #drukkari #poc love stories need to be celebrated #woc need to be loved #why are they always the platonic friend #sarah x bucky #fleur de louve #sarahbucky

My friend finally finished the Bear months after I told her to watch it so I got her final thoughts! First mention was Richie which like fine he has the best character development of the season but let’s get to the goods. I asked her what she thought about Sydney and Carmy’s partnership? I didn’t want to hound her with like do you think they are in love? Soulmates? Twin flames?? Just wanted her general reaction and she said Carmy is going to screw Sydney over and she’s going to become his competitor 😨😨😨 I GASPED!!!!

All the metas and theories I’ve read or thought of this idea has never come across before and I am SHOOK! Because it’s not completely impossible! If Carmy doesn’t get his shit together and if the big fight ends horribly and does not actually resolve anything Sydney could exit his life for good?!?! And because she’s so ambitious and probably spiteful I could see her pushing to open her own thing! And probably taking some of the Bear crew with her 😨

And the best thing about his happening is that it could all be happening while they very much still have feelings for each other! NOW I’m obsessed with the idea of them being nasty competitors (we know how competitive Carmy can get based on what Luca said) he’d do it out of spite for sure but they are very much in love with each other!!!! On some real there’s a thin line between love and hate! You are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires!!!

Ok I’m just gonna go scream in my pillow now 😭

#sydcarmy #sydney x carmy #why has my friend poisoned my mind like this #she doesn’t know the monster she’s created #she doesn’t know what she’s done #this could be enemies to lovers excellence #putting this idea in my pocket for later 👀 #platonic and messy #charged and sexy #I forgot to ask her about the panic attack 🤔 but right now she firmly can’t stand Carmy #the bear fx #shout out to Kathony always making themselves relevant

so this is pathetic of me but does anybody wanna help me learn to become a better friend let me befriend you and we make sure we always talk/text in someway everyday even if its just once like no matter what we always check in w each other? i think i’m gonna try bumble friend thingy but maybe there’s a mutual here who feels the same way as me

#ive been trying to do this w my bestie but she’s also super depressed #so its not easy for her either which is why we’ll always be friends but i really want to like be more open to connection so #platonic connections and friendships definitely feels like where i need to focus #i’m like super awkward and i feel like i’m bad at conversations but hopefully i can get better and more confident with that lol #idk how to make friends or meet new people as an adult

Alterous hiccstrid the world just isn't ready for your power yet..

#demiromantic astrid #is real btw.. #hiccup loves her so much he doesn't care if theyre dating or just friends as long as theyre together #its literally implied in rtte 'whatever ypu want us to be' 'there will be a hiccup and astrid always' #their love for each other goes past typical romantic/platonic thats just a fact its why they were like that in httyd-dob #they make me ill #hiccstrid #hiccstrid headcanon #httyd #astrid hofferson #hiccup haddock #rtte #httyd headcanon #i also hc hiccup as arospec no specific label but the like when ur brain processes romantic attraction differently bc of autism i suppose #you could say its just being autistic but theres definitely an overlap (NOT BC we're 'incapable of love' or whatever) #he on some level knows the way he feels attraction isnt 'typical' but doesnt feel the need to investigate further (no im not projecting..) #a modern au!hiccup might identify as arospec tho #aromantic headcanons #moth.txt

Sometimes I wanna write poetry about how I feel about People but then im afraid it'll be recognized by the people it is about

#Im so ridiculously embarrassed by how much I love #especially right now where it is taking a shape that is different from others #its different than the love of my wife or my partners or my boyfriend #its different then how I typically love my friends #its just so damn different and weird and heavy breathing through a deep chest #with strange envy and desires on the edge of incestuous #love as a jealous hunger the kind I write about but not with all the red flags I typically write about lol #but love also as an intense need to protect #put in my mouth and carry somewhere safe #or at the very least #to carry inside of me always #UGHUGUHGUHUGUHUGH #WHY CANT I BE NORMAL #so many close friends so many romantic and platonic partners #and yet I STILL Find new ways to love #new ways the burn!!!

Adrienette stans wanna gaslight Ladynoir stans who don’t like this plot point and act like Ladynoir was always meant to be platonic from the start and Adrienette was obviously always meant to be the side that would start dating .... No.

My dudes there is a reason Ladynoir has always been more popular than Adrienette among the online fandom. There is a reason the bulk of the fancontent when the show first came out focused on romantic Ladynoir. Hell there is a reason Zag chose for their expensive piece of ship merch to be a $300+ Ladynoir statue. They’re even using romantic Ladynoir scenes to advertise their movie now. Stormy Weather, the pilot episode, the episode meant to introduce us to and sell the show to us and networks, was 99% Ladynoir. Every “Valentine’s” episode (Dark Cupid/Glaciator) has been heavily Ladynoir-centric. Chat Blanc, despite starting with Ladrien followed by an Adrienette dating montage, was heavily Ladynoir centric. “Our love did this to the world" came through Ladynoir. We were shown Ladybug getting upset any time Chat Noir seemed to show interest in another girl. We were given “maybe if Adrien didn’t exist, I’d feel differently about Chat Noir...” in s1. We were given Ladybug explicitly dodging Chat Noir’s question of if things would be different between them if her “other boy” wasn’t a factor. We were given “maybe if I show Ladybug my true self, she’ll fall in love with me,” followed by that very thing happening. We were given a second coup de foudre in Strike Back. The first kiss in this show happened through Ladynoir. The first kiss they were both conscious of happened through Ladynoir in Jubilation. We were shown Ladybug blushing after Chat Noir kissed her cheek in Glaciator. We were shown Ladybug progressively learning that Chat Noir is more sensitive than she thought and not the kind of guy she thought he was and growing closer to and more fond of him over the course of the series -- the plot of like every good romance worth reading (Pride and Prejudice anyone??).

Everyone picked up on the romantic vibes and the depth of their relationship over the past 7 years and now y’all wanna pretend we were hallucinating all along just because your fav side is canon and y’all don’t want to acknowledge the fact that cutting out Ladybug’s feelings for Chat Noir after 4 seasons of development and literally /3 episodes/ of actual visible feelings is an insane choice because it gets in the way of said side being canon. We all picked up on the fact that Chat Blanc and Ephemeral both told us explicitly that Adrienette can’t safely be together as civilians because Gabriel can and will use it to his advantage even without knowing their identities and now y’all want to pretend we’re the ones who weren’t paying attention when even the show was telling us that Adrienette is the side that can’t happen. Apparently the payoff of the 7-year-buildup of Ladybug realizing her romantic feelings for Chat Noir was ... three whole episodes. Followed by her ditching him entirely. Y’all are okay with completely ignoring the insane choice of having Marinette and Adrien not at all worried about abandoning their partners and spitting on “I’ll never abandon you” and every time they’ve ever said “you and me against the entire world” because all you see is weee cute Adrienette scenes <3333.

Like I said I and many others did not watch this show for a generic school romance we watched this show for a Love Square with identity shenanigans because that’s what was being sold to us yet apparently it was never about the "falling in love twice” and the parallels between the two relationships and two loves even though that’s what the past 4 seasons told us it was because it was actually just “adrienette with some obstacles” all along and oBvIoUsLy it was always just meant to be about romantic Adrienette!!!1!!1 I did not watch 7 years worth of romantic development on the Ladynoir side just for Adrienette stans to decide to tell me that I was actually hallucinating that whole time and that Ladynoir was always meant to be platonic

#ml spoilers #ml transmission #ml fandom salt #y'all must be watching the english dub if y'all think ladynoir is exclusively platonic that's the only explanation #thanks for the confirmation that we have indeed been watching completely different shows though lol #and why do y'all think ladynoir being The Best Friends side somehow means they're not also romantic? #congratulations you've bought in to hollywood's idea of what romantic love is #and have failed to realize that best friendship is not removed from romance and is in fact the CORE of a real loving relationship #also a bizarre take when the SHOW ITSELF literally just showed you romantic ladynoir over the past several episodes tf #this is just like when months ago i said how much i didn't like the concept of pre-reveal a/drienette #and then someone of course decided to vaguepost saying 'ackshually pre-reveal adrienette was obviously always more likely #and marinette is more set in her ways regarding chat noir and wouldn't be in to the idea of dating him pre-reveal etc etc' #and i said no actually ladybug is already on the cusp of realizing her feelings for chat noir and would be even more inclined to date him #bc of how comfortable she is with him and how much more developed they are and dating =/= revealing identities #and then the beginning of the season proved me right about this #but not before i was driven insane by the revelation that a lot of y'all apparently don't care about the 'falling in love twice' and the #parallel relationships and thought marinette and adrien getting together without the show ever having ladybug fall for chat noir would've #somehow been a satisfying outcome 💀 we are literally not watching the same show

[surreal-duck]

hi!! i just wanted to say that ive liked midoyuzu since i was like 14 and its been a few years since then (obviously) but seeing your midoyuzu art now is so!!! its so fulfilling to my past self who had like NO art to go off of, i guess? anyway! your art is super good and i love it so much <3

im glad omg? extremely late to the party but by god i am bringing snacks in here or die trying o7 was pretty baffled the first time finding out more abt their dynamic and looking them up on here to find maybe like two more recent posts and the rest from no sooner than 2017 or so askjdghsjkgdhjks but really THANK YOU!!!!!!!! happy to be of service to your inner 14yo somewhat ;v;

yknow what though the really funny thing is that i wasnt even that into them initially. just remembered that cute interaction at the end of xmas live and thought "huh these two r kinda sweet actually" and that curiosity is always a slippery slope into genuine investment and by god is tripping into it a favorite pastime of mine

#if i had to say tho honestly these two were both the last ones of their units i managed to get attached to properly #yuzuru has definitely become my fav of fine though but my actual rst fav is kanata LOL #also finding out yuzuru likes to draw in general is everything to me you go you funky master artist #cute critter line took me out back w a metal chair why r they so. auhhg #actually my good friend who got me in here Knows i was actually on track to becoming an ibyz liker but then. anvil fell comically on my hea #before i knew it theyve taken over almost every corner of my brain get them out!!!!! get them out!!!!!!!! #and i was already a ryuseitai fan and enjoyed fine casually but oh. oh god im a yuzurup too now arent i goddammit #SORRY THIS BECAME A RAMBLE UM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! #asks #anonymous #sometimes i forget that their actual interactions probably amount to no more than 6 or 7 times in canon and the rest is just in my head #that and i just think its rather nice for both of their characters to get along!! romantic or platonic #really sweet to see midori so pumped up and passionate about the things he loves and yuzuru getting thrown off his rhythm of the always #perfect butler who resigns himself into the background most of the time. theyre just having fun!!! silly guys #and yuzuru rly does enjoy art and nonsensical doodles even if people generally find it horrifying midori loves them wholeheartedly its. yea #okay im still rambling. ill shut up now i havent slept properly in a bed in nearly 48 hours i should go do that

[confier-boyfriend]

Boy yearning is canceled I am go to go cry about the fact I’ll never have a boyfriend or a husband.

#zenith vents #feel free to reblog btw #half melodramatic half serious btw #how can I hope to find love if I can’t even make good friends #no but seriously why do all of my relationships (platonic and romantic) turn to ash after two years #like idk people change as time passes and I have always changed more rapidly than my friends (I geuss forced to mature quicker) #but I can’t help but feel like there’s something terribly wrong with me as a person that’s causing all of this #sometimes I wonder if I should just keep everyone away from actually getting close to me so that I don’t end up alone #friends who’re distant and don’t really know you is better than having no one at all?

[rain-bowxx]

I hate luck i found a thing to be in a fic and i want to read it i need to read bUT I CAN'T FIND ONE LIKE THAT LIKE IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A PLATONIC STOBIN CANON REWRITE WGERE THEY BECOME FRIENDS IN HIGh SCHOOL AND STEVE STOPS BEING ASSHOLE SO MUCH SOONER???????? cries

#fanfiction #platonic stobin #canon rewrite #why just why #that moment when you want a fic with particular trope/tags/plot/etc and you cAN'T FIND IT #it hurts so bad #my friend wished me on my birthday to find all the fics i want #its not coming true :// #if i had 3 wishes from a genie that would be my one wish #to always find a fic i want

[arsonist-chicken]

Do you ever like.. get a sudden surge of love and admiration and just general happiness because of a friend, so much so that it's almost overwhelming, and you are just so, so glad you met them and hope you'll never have to let them go and get to keep them in your life forever? Yeah ❤️💖🐗🧚‍♂️🦄

#i should go to sleep #but these are the moments i wonder again if i know what a crush feels like and if i can tell the difference between periodical very strong #but platonic affection for a friend and having a tiny crush on them #oh well. in the end does it matter? #but it would still be nice to be able to tell the difference. if nothing else then to know when i actually have a crush on someone i'm not #that close to like that friend or that fond of #fucking hell god please never let me have to let them go. i don't think i've ever met someone i'm that comfortable around and around whom #it's so easy to just be myself #or rarely. maybe with two other friends i don't feel the need to hold back myself from blurting stuff out and interrupting them and #apologising and asking them to continue or just like.. say whatever comes to mind or touch electric pasture fences to see if it still stings #(it does btw but in a sensorally really nice way 10/10 would recommend) #why do amazing people often live so damn far away? last time i met a bunch of people i really got to love was almost lifesaving and #definitely mental health saving. we used to talk every day and now i barely know what any of them are up to :( covid really fucked us over #with everyone just trying to survive and stay sane. we really lost touch and now it #*it's hard to get that back because we're strewn across europe and brasil and the us and everyone's an adult with responsibilities now #i miss them :( gotta try harder to rekindle that #anyway @the universe or whatever fuckers listening: if you put me in circumstances that make me lose touch with her like with them #i'll set the world on fire. she's become far too important to me to let that happen #okay as always i couldn't damn shut up in the tags alright bye bye good night whatever my cat's purring now instead of snoring #scientists of tumblr invent a teleportation machine now. i want to lie in a park and watch dogs and read side by side and remember how good #life can be #mine

[puppyeared]

weird that the shape of love is two beating hearts glued together and not two hands holding each other

#well technically it comes from the shape of two hearts sewn together but i dont know how that translates to romance.. literally its kinda #disturbing but symbolically i guess it is kind of sweet #my friend and i were talking and she said something about someone saying a lover cant just be a friend you can kiss but i think i disagree #i kind of think the point of a lover IS a friend you can kiss because like it must get exhausting having to convince yourself you can only #feel romantic things towards your lover right? i mean i dont know if my feelings are shaped like anyone else's so maybe its more of a case #by case basis. for me id like someone whose hand i can hold and i can make pancakes for them and maybe kiss but like not strictly romantic #and not strictly platonic. and my feelings are all over the place because one day ill be really into someone i like and another day ill be #really chill about it. so its hard to say what i feel for someone if its always changing #maybe thats why i think lovers should be friends you can kiss because its coming from my way of feeling? hmmm #like i want to be able to say i love you and mean it romantically one day and then say love you in a platonic way the next day and itd be #ok?? does that make sense??? like i know its the same phrase but its like the feeling i put with it is different each time. idk #its why i find dating someone hard because its constantly going up and down and its never balanced. itd probably really confusing unless i #were to date someone whose feelings works the same way. just some food for thought i guess but then again every relationship needs work #im not sure if that fits into the category of work though.. i cant tell myself what im going to feel #it just happens and theres not much i can really do about it except tell that person what im feeling. hnnnnnhhgh #maybe its better if i just stick to watching fictional couples work it out lmao #yapping #txt

I DID NOT JUST SEE LIZBERT X FILBO SHIP SHIT ON AO3.....

I THOUGHT WE STOPPED THESE PEOPLE HOLY SHIT

They made her CHEAT with EGGABELL too?? What the FUCK and why is that here????!

#Bugsnax #ANYWAYS IF YOU SHIP THAT GTFO YOU FREAK #I don't care if people don't like me saying this Lizbert is his SISTER FIGURE and she is JUST HIS FRIEND NOT FWBS #why do people want to ship them so badly??? Lizbert is gay ffs! #AND they make her feel like shit for being with Eggabell as if she even liked Filbo more than platonic????? #Lizbert is not a cheater!! She's not a fucking cheater why would that person do that or write or post something like that???!!! #She would not cheat with Eggabell she loves Eggabell geuinely and Filbo is JUST a brother to her GOD #as if Lizbert and Eggabell weren't together FIRST. Let canon strictly platonic childhood friends stay that way! #Anyways I muted that person thank you AO3 for that function I do not want to see freaks like that in my sight #I don't even know if I should tag this because people have gotten on my ass for ship shit as is #even though we literally got on someone's @ss for doing this before #this one was literally a 2 year ago problem WHY IS IT RETURNING #This fandom really wants Liz to be a scumbag so bad they have to make sh!t up now. There I said it! Cheaters are scumbags. she is not #it would be so great if people can stop being weirdos about LizEgg in general. it's always SPECIFICALLY them too! Never any of the others! #If you want the person's name to mute then feel free to ask (Even if it's on the front fucking page of the tag *RETCHES*) #but if you're just gonna tell me to let people do whatever they want even if it's fucking wrong. Then piss off #I'd LOVE for anyone that genuinely defends that ship to stay away from me. Reminder We've been here before and dealt with it so wtf???

[bewby]

when you get blocked by him even tgough you guys barely even talk anymore but the last time you talked which was about a week ago you actually had a nice and healthy conversation and you had alot of love for eachother and it seemed amazing 😂😂😍😍😍😍 no i'm definitely not fucking crying Lol

#it has been 3 years and i'm still here crying over this #well technically it has been about 1 year but also not really. i mean. we stopped talking around december ir smth last year #so it makes sense that this wound is still pretty fresh and will take some time to heal but i'm like. hahhaha #he's still my best friend and this really makes me sad #because i really love him and we even hung out together on genshin for some time #and we sent eachother really nice messages and i told him he xan always come to me no matter what and that i'm always here for him #and that if he's ever in a crisis he can even come see me he doesn't even have to ask #and now i'm blocked. hshdjckdjdhjf #i mean why am i surprised. he has every right to. and i'm his ex . and he likes someone else now #but it still really hurts because i wish i could be a better friend to him at least. but i can't talk to anyone these days #but especially with him it hurts so much because i actually know him so so well and it hurts so much more . like. we know eachother since #i was like. 16 and he was 18. it's insane!!!!!! we share a fucking birthday!!!!! i wanna die!!!!!! #i need to accept that it's over since like years but you can't just do that when you really love someone and care for them #haha . this really sucks alot #i know i need to just move along and i try i do but i will never stop having love for him even if it's just platonic it's so deep like wow #i donmt even know how to explain it and my love for him took over my entire life for years to the point where i turned into an absolute #nobody and it worried him so much too so obviously it makes sense that this takes some time . but God ahhahahshshshahah. ahhahahshsah #i feel so sad and i'm allowed to feel sad . but wjen i feel sad it feels like i'm fucking dying #wow. okay i'll stop now #he has every right to block me but he's my best friend so it hurts. that's all
