#all of these are nonromantic/platonic

[hells-wasabii]

here’s a thing you could try doing (if you want to) the Hazbin hotel gang with seraphim child reader who somehow appeared in hell after the ep 8 battle.

the gang now has to look and protect this child since others could use them for their own means with the power the kid has and for some reason they can’t go to heaven… almost like they have a purpose here in hell

A/N: This is probably going to get a part 2, I'm a little invested in where this could go! It's probably gonna get turned into a little series with a plot.

With a child seraphim i really don't see one knowing what hell even is yet. Sure, they would tell them about it, but definitely wouldn't know what it is. Or alcohol, or curse words or anything vulgar really. I hope you enjoy!

Character: General

Type: Fic (Nonromantic, Plot-centric,Hotel staff/residents with seraphim child!reader, General)

It was an honest mistake. You really hadn't meant to, but Emily and Sera were starting to argue again, something that had been happening often since that nice Charlie girl you had met at the zoo came and gone. So you had snuck away. You hated when they argued, they were your family. Family shouldn't fight, ever, you had decided early on.

Curious, you continue on towards the portal. You investigated, peering through to see a strange place bathed in red, you saw a broken building, something that reminded you of something one your brothers had shown you from the human world. War, you thought it was called. Something horrible that humans thought up to hurt each other.

You hated when people were hurt. You wanted to get closer and help anyone who might be hurt, even if your powers hadn't fully come in yet.

Then an idea came to your mind! You could ask your brothers to help! They would know exactly what to do! With this in mind, you attempted to return back through the portal, only to be pushed back by some invisible force.

Wait... What? Why wouldn't it let you back in?

Then it happened. You were still a young Seraphim, your wings weren't super strong yet, and as you peered down at the red place your wings gave out. Luckily, your brothers and sisters had trained you in case something like that happened! You were able to slow your descent, at least enough for it not to hurt when you finally landed.

So you started to make your way to the pretty, large building on the hill with a sign that read Hazbin Hotel. Though the building didn't seem quite finished yet, it was still really pretty. Odd, hadn't it just been all broken?

As you pushed your way in through the heavy doors, you saw three people over at a tall counter: A cat man with wings cleaning a really small glass, an angel, but she didn't have her wings out, and- Oh no! She seemed to have misplaced her halo, too! That wasn't good! And a pretty pink and white spider-man that was sipping on a pretty looking juice

The pretty spider-man looked over at you and did a spit-take, nearly choking on his juice.

"What the fuck is a kid doing here?" He exclaimed, gesturing at you, fuck? What kind of word was that? No one had taught it to you, and you couldn't remember any of your fellow Seraphim using such a word, either. This seemed to get the other two's attention as they turned to look at you, shocked expressions on their faces.

"What does 'fuck' mean?" You asked, head tilted in confusion looking between each of the strangers. The pretty spider-man looked like he was going to start laughing but the angel next to him hit him hard in the shoulder, only serving to confuse you more.

"Charlie!" Excited, you ran forward, using your wings to jump higher than you would have otherwise, right into her arms. The blonde non-angel caught you with ease.

The princess of hell's eyes widened looking up to find her companions looking just as confused and shocked as she felt.

This wasn't good, not one bit.

[pinkfestivalpeanuttree]

me when a ship gets super popular all of a sudden but i see them as a very extremely specific flavor of queerplatonic and i have to deal with people gushing about how romantic their plot is everywhere all the time:

#sigh. #no because i can deal with romantic interpretations of some of my other ships but these guys #*gestures wildly* they don't get them like i do!!! #they're platonic life partners! they're found family but not in a nuclear family dynamic! they're equals they rely on each other #they're devoted they've had each other for hundreds of years they're tragic doomed yuri they understand each other in ways noone else can #they don't really understand each other as much as they thought #they don't kiss. they're both ace they're probs arospec TO ME. and then people started bashing people who saw them #in a familial way and although i don't completely agree with the way some people portray their dynamic through a familial lens #it really feels like they're belittling the nonromantic interpretations of their dynamic!!!!! #i can enjoy romantic versions of my other queerplatonic ships but this one just squicks me out okay aughhjhhhhhh #is this. the trials and hardships (bad takes) that others (aromantic people in fandom spaces) have had to go through #clenches fist. now i see. now that i have suffered alongside you all. now i understand what perils you all have faced #no because i'm seriously considering blocking the tag istg #epilogue speaks

[twistedappletree]

I feel so unproductive and unimaginative lately idk why I honestly haven’t even been writing or drawing much bc of it 😭

#reminder that I’m always accepting ideas for zhuiling and zhenyi and (nonromantic/platonic) junior dynamics #if the idea sparks enough inspo in me I’ll write a ficlet and post ✨ #but tbh I think I’m just tired from having so much going on ajdhajhd October has been insanely busy for me idk why #apple babble 🍎 #also does not help that my insomnia kept me awake all night & now I gotta get ready for work in zombie mode lmFAO

[abstractkind]

listen I've been catching up on like five seasons of the life/traffic smp series. i can be just as rabid about soulmates as any alloromantic person.

#honestly a lot of moments that others consider for shipping are just as compelling to me for nonromantic relationships #a lot of those cute or angsty or touching moments are just as poignant for platonic or queerplatonic relationships as they are for romance #and i enjoy exploring all the possibilities and nuance that could live inside that too #but soulmate aus can also be a rich place to explore aromanticism and its struggles as well #what if the world and fate expected you to be connected to one person by feelings youve never experienced? #hold on ive already heard that before

[alters-journal]

I would just like to say since this is a thing right now.

The aromantic community has opened my eyes to so many different things. I'm alloromantic 100% but man, the aromantic community has done so much for me.

I will always be an ally to my aro siblings. They helped me realize that relationships are not black and white. Relationships are not just romantic and nonromantic.

I have learned that love exists in so many forms. Love takes shape in so many different ways and people. How I experience relationships from my romantic ones to my friendships to my family to my hobbies to communities to the world around me has been forever changed thanks to the aro community.

I've started blurring the lines (in healthy and responsible ways so yk not romantic with my family) between relationships. I've started to be more open and don't limit how I display affection to certain "love types". If I want to make out and go on dates with my best friends I do. If I'm not in the mood to cuddle and be all kissy with a partner I just play a game with them or something.

I'm telling my friends and family "I love you" more. I say that I love things like art and nature more. I call my partners my good/cherished/best/beloved/etc. friends.

I have platonic partners and I'm open to the idea of alterous partners too. The aromantic community has given me language for feelings that I as an alloromantic DO IN FACT experience while also experiencing a romantic attraction.

The aromantic community is beautiful and I will ALWAYS fight with them. They have redefined how I view my orientation and relationships as a whole.

Admittedly, there's still a lot I don't know about being aromantic but you can put your life on me being that stupid himbo ally to them.

AROMANTICS ARE QUEER! THEY ALWAYS WILL BE!

can you do prompts for celebrating the friendship part of valentine's with others? i feel like most people forget it's the day of friendship and love and i'm a sucker for explicitly nonromantic things :]

aw yes this is so important too! here's what i could come up with <3

platonic valentine's day things for best friends 💗

exchanging little care baskets with all their favorite snacks and things

sending each other cute little v-day cards in the mail

planning a little picnic together

making cute friendship bracelets

^ maybe they'll spell out a word that describes them or that they're most grateful for on said bracelet (like cute, funny, strong)

spending the day making the funniest phrases they can out of the conversation hearts

blindfolding each other and trying to guess which candy or chocolate the other gave them

going to one of those little painting and wine spots and making each other lovely drawings

"hey, you want a kiss?" [confused] "what???" "the chocolate, relax."

spending the night in watching bad rom-coms and laughing their asses off

"will you be my valentine?" "why i thought you'd never ask."

Lego monkie kid season 4 spoilers ‼️

(heyyyyy note from after finishing writing all this out: this first one is just me going crazy over debatable freenoodles content in s4, you have been warned. Everything in here is /pos!! teehee)

WOW. OKAY. WHAHSJJSJnsjabsjanJSdWHHWJH????? The effect this show has on me is almost beyond my comprehension, not even really sure how to put this into words

iiiiiiiiiiii'll figure that stuff out when it isn't 3 am, it'll be a little rb thread whatever that's called on Tumblr

For rn can we please talk about how stRONGLY FREENOODLES WON WITH THIS SEASON????? WHAGAHT??????? ISHDKSJBSKX!!!!!!!!

FIRST FRSIT FIRST.

The FACT that tang KNOWS EXACTLY how Pigsy makes his noodles from memory if not by HEART??? He has no recipe on him and pigsy can't help he just????? KNOWS pigsy's noodles recipe. Something that is VERY important to him and is unique to his family??? And to which the ONLY other person we know of that also knows pigsy's recipe is mk. His adopted son???? The only people pigsy has EVER told his recipe to is his basically son mk and TANG. OR, POTENTIALLY, Tang has spent so much time sitting right by pigsy's side as he works, watching him indulge in his passion day in and day out to the point where he's just picked it up on his own?? EITHER WAY. HUSBAND BEHAVIOR.

"I'm your tangy!" he. he did not just say that. "I'm YOUR TANGY"????? 'YOUR' POSSESIVE. BASICALLY "IM YOURS". AND NOT YOUR Tang, TANGY. A PETNAME/NICKNAME. WITH THAT EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE????????? H. HWHWJGSJ???? HOW did they get away with this I genuinely wanna know. That is SO GAY. CATASTROPHICALLY GAY. "YOUR TANGY". I am dead on the floor.

"I have devoted my life to this man" elaborate on that. nonono keep going, what did you mean by that. How do you platonically devOTE YOUR LIFE TO ANOTHER MAN????? THAT IS THE MOST OBVIOUS INDIRECT WAY YOU CAN SAY YOU'RE MARRIED. THIS E N T I R E SCENE HOW DID THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS???? HOW do you a man devote your life to another man in a nongay way, Tang. Asking for a friend I just wanna know

The look of awe. He is literally stunned. No fear no nothing just. woww what is my husband doing. Gay gay homosexual.

what.

THE.

FUCK.

In. In what UNIVERSE is leaping into someone's arm, NUZZLING AGAINST THEM BECAUSE YOU'RE SO HAPPY TO SEE THEM AGAIN, AND THEN STAYING CURLED UP IN THEIR ARMS ,BOTH OF YOU BEAMING AT ONE ANOTHER, NOT GAY. I. That's. I'm. HfhdhsggdwghwWHAWT???? They are so married. They are so gay for each other. I. I cannot even fathom. Not even going to get INTO THAT GIGGLE WHAT WAS THAAAAAAT.

Slight side note, glad to see a head canon validated! The little nuzzle thing was a cute little gesture that I've always hc'ed onto Tang pretty much from the beginning of my freenoodlesshipping journey. Watching it HAPPEN in canon??? Feels good >:3 He's a snuggler fr

almost got a 2 for one, I hc tang to be the kind of person that doesn't really stutter or close off when he gets flustered he just starts laughing. It'll start out as soft chuckles and giggling but it just grows deeper and louder the more flustered he gets. Pigsy, being completely enamored with his man, tends to fall into a laughing fit with him and then they just become a flustered happy giggling heep in each other's arms. Sooo close, I won't stretch Tang's little giggle so far as to say that that hc is also basically canon, WILL use this scene to justify it tho :3c

"it's beautiful" AS A RESPONSE TO PIGSY KICKING ASS??? HOW DO YOU NONROMANTICALLY CALL YOUR "FRIEND" BEAUTIFUL JUST CASUALLY. UNPROMPTED. OUT OF THEIR EARSHOT. WHAT????? Why. Why are they so?? wghshdj

Some quick fire more general freenoodles moments:

"Oh, Pigsy where are you?" The first person he thinks to look for is Pigsy? Pigsy specifically? Not sandy or monkie king, pigsy. mmmmhm.

Talking back to a demon that is cooking you as we speak by praising your definitely not husband the entire time? Very straight. That's a very straight look they're giving each other too. Yes, very (/sar)

Just. How happy and excited he looks watching pigsy cook and get back into his thing? They're so wholesome. Old supportive married couple

"Doesn't that moron know we're his family?" Dadsszszs

the look of support and encouragement. They're so soft they make my heart hurt

:glance:

Trying to support each other, quite literally having each other's backs when in danger

Holding onto your husband and trying to protect your husband by extending an arm out in front of him respectively

Pigsy doing his thing and Tang being COMPLETELY there for it. Look at him. That content prideful expression on his face. Pride in his husband. Two kick ass husbands and their two unimpressed, frustrated children. Also find it cute how Pigsy made a bunch of food and then actively weaponized it but still went out of his way to make Tang in specific a nice bowl. Not the other two, just Tang.

IN CONCLUSION: 🏳️‍🌈🐷🍜

It is 4 aaaaaammmmmmm, goodnightttt prepare for more delusional ramblings later in the week I have so many tang thought jfjfn

#TLDR: zaacoy goes off their rocker and explodes about freenoodles #They are so real to me #lmk season 4 #lmk s4 spoilers #monkie kid season 4 #Sorry for the really long insane rambling #It will happen again 😔 #lmk freenoodles #freenoodleshipping #Zaacoy rambles🌙

[celluloidbroomcloset]

This show’s big message is (very corny and very true) the power of love. Yes, Ed and Stede have a romantic love and their's is the central relationship, but it's not solely about romantic love or partnership. They're friends first - Stede's first offer is not of romance, but of friendship. He looks at this man who, again, proclaims himself a bad person and friendless and says "I'm your friend." There's no ulterior motive there.

But it doesn't start or end there. The crew is all about love - the friendships and connections, romantic, nonromantic, sexual, platonic. Buttons loving the sea, Frenchie and Roach's friendship, Jim and Olu and Archie's polycule, Fang's tenderness and love of animals, everyone loving Wee John, Wee John's love for knitting and creation, Lucius and Pete's romance, Lucius's love of art (and sleeping with everyone), Swede and Jackie's weird little romance, Zheng and Auntie's care for each other, Zheng and Olu’s developing romance, Stede’s being a father to his crew, Stede’s imperfect care for his family, Mary and Annie's ridiculous marriage. All the friendships that exist. Just love.

And then there’s Izzy. Izzy who wants to die. Who confesses his love and gets shot but who is also told that Ed loved him as best he could. And what happens then? The crew see him suffering and go "he needs to be cared for." Rather than laughing and pointing and celebrating that a man who hurt them is in pain himself, they show him love. They give him a new leg and a new name, but leave it up to him whether to accept it. Just like what Stede offers Ed, and really what all the love on this show is based on, it has no strings or conditions - it’s an act of pure love. Izzy can choose whether to accept it and how to accept it, and he does. It helps to heal him. He's loved.*

*Which is honestly why the whole "they disrespected him in death!" makes me mad. They loved him! They showed him love! He died surrounded by people who were crying at his loss, even though he caused a lot of hurt to them, being held by a man he loved, who was himself weeping at the loss of his family. His last words may have been about Ed and Ed finding people who loved him, but it was about himself too! He's part of Blackbeard. They buried him on land, marking his grave with things that were important to him, and in a place where he could be near the person he cared for (and where his grave could be cared for too). They gave him back a missing piece of himself, they offered him a new name, they celebrated his joy when he chose to share it. How dare anyone say that they disrespected him?

Being aromantic is not inherently all about friendship or having platonic squishes or wanting qprs!

Aros who are aplatonic, aplspec, nonfriending, plato averse, nonpartnering, aqueerplatonic, analterous, qpr averse, or otherwise do not fit norms surrounding platonic and qpr stuff(which seems to be compounded and intensely seen as 'aro culture' in general aro spaces) are amazing and we deserve to have our experiences acknowledged and we deserve to feel included in the aro community!

(-Sonic/Rift)

(This post is about aros who do not fit aro community norms surrounding friendship, qprs, and other nonromantic emotional attraction types/associated relationship types! DO NOT DERAIL)

(Also do not mention anything about us being human, not inhuman, etc. Because alterhuman, other nonhuman, and inhuman identities exist and not all of us id as human or call ourselves that so be mindful of that in any tags or replies!!)

[marshmellowtea]

actually while i’m talking about aro stuff, i wanna say that while i am an aro who does enjoy love and considers it, particularly platonic and otherwise nonromantic love, important to me, the MINUTE someone dares to suggest that love is what makes us human, or that all humans must feel SOME type of love, or talks about love as if it’s the same thing as kindness or compassion, i instantly become love’s number one enemy. i personally like love as a concept but you will NOT fucking disrespect my fellow aros who are uncomfortable with love in all its forms that way, i’ll fucking fight you!

#aro #aromantic #marshy speaks #the third one especially makes me angry lmao #if you can’t be compassionate toward people you can’t love in some way then maybe you’re the one with screwed morals #just sayin!

[tsams-confessions]

Okay ive seen a LOT of hate on ships here and as a multishipper, I wanted to put my two cents in and some out of five stars (I would like to state, with Moon questioning his aroace identity, ships are a bit iffy, but so long as he doesn't outright say he's aroace, I believe he feels some form of romantic attraction)

SolarMoon - 2/5:

its alright, I can see the healing relationship trope, and respect it, but the way they're portrayed together is either codependent on each other or just... So distant. plus, Moon is questioning his aroace identity so my opinion changes on this matter as his identity does too

SolarSun - 3/5:

Genuinly pretty cute, I support it. I love seeing hurt/comfort for the two, both grappling with theur trauma and losing the only person who cared for them at the time. Not really a reason for me to dislike it, just not my favorite.

Eclipse/Anyone - 0/5:

Okay, I know, I know, I just smashed every ship with Eclipse in it together, but theres a reason. One, he just kinda feels aroace to me, and a personal bias, I want the guy dead. He just sucks. I never cared for him, never will.

Lunar/Solar - 1/5:

This would be a 0, however Lunar has said, hes not a child, and his familial relationship with Solar isn't set in stone, but if they end up being related or adopted or whatever, 0/5, same goes for any other incestial ship

SolarRuin - 4/5:

I KNOW RUIN PLAYED EVERYONE LIKE A FIDDLE BUT HE DIDNT IN MY HEAD AND BESIDES, THE TWO OF THEM ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER. And when Moon told Solar, that ruin had tricked them all, the pain and disbelief in his voice, it was just so raw and emotional

Monty/Earth - 4/5:

Not all for it, Monty could be better, but honestly, really cute. I get that Earth was rushed into things but like, that happens sometimes. Unfortunately its part of life, but I think she kind of needed a non familial relationship with someone so Monty was the best thing

Monty/Moon - 3/5:

Okay so this one is iffy, early Moon and Monty, 5/5 PLATONIC partners, loved the sassy friendship, the general toxicity, and all. But New Moon and Monty? Yeah, I kinda ship it, its cute, the banter, everything. Again, if Moon identifies as Aroace, thjs becomes nonromantic, but they seem like they could have a good platonic relationship. THIS IS CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MONTY AND EARTH ARE NOT INVOLVED

Monty/Sun - 3/5:

Again, only early sun and monty, cause now they dont have that same fling together, but early show Sun and Monty was so cute and honestly it could have happened. Im a glitter golf enjoyer outside of TSBS though, so might be biased.

Gemini/Lunar - 4/5:

Okay, I love Gemini, theyre onr of my favorite characters, and I love their relationship with Lunar, only reason why its not 5/5 is because it always feels a bit more of a Castor/Lunar thing, Pollux just never seemed all that interested which is fair

Sun/Foxy - 5/5:

Honestly, its my favorite ship, even for the joke, its still unnecessarily funny and cute

FoxyMonty - 0/5:

No

Sorrg For Any misspellings, its past midnight and I've got work tomorrow

[laundrybiscuits]

I've recently been tagged in a few WIP/"last thing you've written" type games, and…to be completely candid, I haven't been writing any kind of fic lately because I've become a little bit obsessed with analyzing the Broadway revival of Merrily We Roll Along.

Not for any particular purpose, I just saw it at the Hudson a little while back and have a lot of feelings about it! In my tiny scraps of spare time, I've been working on an essay about Merrily and inevitability that will probably end up rotting in my google docs*, because that's how I approach writing as a hobby.

There's just so much there, holy shit. I'm focusing particularly on "Franklin Shepard, Inc." because Radcliffe's Charley brings a frenetic, desperate vulnerability to the performance that reads so, so differently from earlier productions. Throughout the show, I was consistently blown away by the heavy lifting Radcliffe, Mendez, and Groff do in shifting the core tension from "art vs commerce" (fine but basic, and difficult to keep modern) to "how people prioritize different types of relationships in their lives."

In an effort to make this slightly less wildly off-topic for this blog: this has gotten me thinking about the way that platonic relationships are treated in narratives, particularly but not exclusively in fandom.

"Found family" is and has always been a popular trope, but I do think its current incarnation trades a lot on the underlying fantasy of relationship permanence. When we recategorize friendships as familial relationships, we're making a claim—whether or not it's justified—about the indelibility of those relationships.

That's not inherently bad (or, god forbid, problematic). I think it's very very natural, especially for those who don't necessarily have a lot of experience with the way adult friendships change over time. Why wouldn't you want something as precious and unique and amazing as a good friendship to stay with you forever?

Certain people can feel like pillars of your world, and it's fucking terrifying to think about that being yanked out from under you—or even worse, to think about your lives slowly shifting like geologic plates until suddenly you realize it's been weeks, then months, then years since you last really talked.

CHARLEY: We're not that kind of close any more, the way we used to be. And a friendship's like a garden. You have to water it and tend it and care about it. And you know what? I want it back.

It's a peculiar, particular kind of grief when it happens, because even though it's a fairly common human experience, it doesn't get socially acknowledged in the same way as e.g. a romantic breakup.

So yeah, it makes a lot of sense that found family is a popular trope in all kinds of media, not just fandom.

However...at this point, I've developed a knee-jerk wariness to the phrase "found family," because I've found it often correlates with a really flat, simplistic depiction of human relationships. In extreme cases, it simply recontextualizes a relationship within the socially acknowledged/acceptable framework of a stereotypical family unit.

This does a disservice to familial and nonfamilial relationships alike. Every family is different, so why do so many found families in media look the same?

(I was monologuing about this to my very patient girlfriend, and she pointed out that this also sets up a success/failure binary condition in relationships, where permanence is the arbiter of success in both romantic and nonromantic contexts. She is of course both beautiful and correct!)

I have friends with whom I can sometimes share a glance and know exactly what they're thinking. I even have a running joke with one friend about the sheer number of times we've said the same thing in unison over the last 15 years. I still need to be intentional about building those relationships, extending empathy when we differ, and carving out time to reconnect. Truly intimate long-term relationships of any kind involve disagreements, conflicting priorities, and negotiating and renegotiating boundaries.

Being "basically the same person" or "sharing a braincell" actually sounds super fucking lonely to me, personally, and it handily elides the difficult, essential process of keeping people in your life.

FRANK: Old friends let you go your own way. CHARLEY: Help you find your own way. MARY: Let you off when you're wrong. F: If you're wrong. C: When you're wrong. M: Right or wrong, the point is, old friends shouldn't care if you're wrong. F: Should, but not for too long. C: What's too long?

That's a more complicated and much more mature narrative to tell than "friendship will save the day!" Because it's not that common and there's not a deep bank of references to draw from, it takes a lot of effort and skill to depict well, and I don't blame creators for not wanting to let it suck up all the air in the room. However, I think it's important to acknowledge that platonic relationships can also be flanderised and flattened.

In the context of fandom, which has always traded heavily in Romance genre conventions, I would really like to see more thoughtful explorations of complicated nonromantic relationships. I'm not even talking about genfic here! I've actually been thinking about Stobin specifically because that relationship (rightly & understandably) tends to show up in any Steve-centric fic, including the vast ocean of Steddie fics, so it makes the issue slightly more visible than I've seen in other fandoms.

I'm not saying I want to see them fight, or not be friends, or not love each other fiercely and near-obsessively in the way that lonely teenagers can. I'm just saying I want them to be distinct individuals who view the world in very different ways, and choose each other anyway. They already have a complicated past; I know from personal experience that it's possible as a lesbian to be best friends with a guy who once made a little speech about how into you he was, but that little layer of history never quite goes away.

I don't want frictionless relationships in my life. I want people who will challenge me and whom I can challenge, in the context of love and trust. I want people in my life whom I have to work to understand, because my life is richer when I do. And sometimes, I want narratives that will reflect the grief of friendships that are no longer part of my life, despite the best efforts of everyone involved.

In Merrily, Charley sings, "Friendship's something you don't really lose—" but Radcliffe's thready, pleading delivery makes it all too clear: Charley already knows he's lying. The audience just needs to catch up.

*Other essays in that particular graveyard: understanding the cast of Peanuts through the lens of anomie, humor and subversive linguistic nationalism in 00s Singaporean TV, how to fix Miss Saigon. WHY am I this way.

#side note: how fucking good was Radcliffe in that role? what a glow-up from HTSIBWRT #all the casting was brilliant but (Tony winner!) Mendez and (Tony nominated) Groff were less of a dark horse #anyway I think...I might start to get a little less rigid about letting myself dump nonfandom or fandom-adjacent posts here #we'll see if I have more time to post and/or write once this busy period at work dies down #recently is a relative term btw. I have been tagged more recently than the cambrian explosion. so that counts. #I appreciate the tags and it's very nice of y'all to think of me though!

Something really special in the way all of Senku's allies willingly gave themselves over to be petrified again as if it was an adventure, knowing that Senku would survive and save them all (again).

And of course, his trust back in them that they will follow the plan as exactly as he needed them to in order for that plan to even work.

That kind of platonic trust is like crack in stories, okay.

And Senku handing the petrification device over to Kohaku, knowing she'd never use it without permission and she's a better guard for it than he ever could be, so it's a safer extension of himself.

More characters who trust each other so deeply and nonromantically, okay. More, more, more.

A Rambling:

Give me more purely platonic headcanons of our faves.

Not only does this broaden a fandom’s range to include our beloved aro/ace friends, but it also brings back some nonromantic, nons*xualized intimacy. Platonic love and affection is so important!

Some Overwatch examples, for your amusement and consideration:

I wanna hug/be hugged by Ramattra without any ulterior motives besides maybe convincing him to go mini golfing with Zenyatta and myself later.

I want to thank Mercy and rub her back and shoulders because she always works so hard to take care of others and deserves to have people look after her too.

I wanna go find a bakery with Sombra where we both get conchas and she spills all the tea about people she’s hacked lol (Did you know Reaper and Roadhog both collect and discuss Pachimari?)

I want to talk to Sigma and Lucio about what the universe’s song sounds like and see if there’s some way to recreate it. Is it more instrumental? Is it more electronic? Is it screamo??? Idk but we’d have the best time doing it, I think. Maybe we could help Sigma feel a little more securely attached to his humanity.

I wanna sit on Reinhardt’s shoulder and be tall for a while (my username checks out, I assure you lol) as he tells me all sorts of stories from his military career and he laughs so loud strangers look over to see what’s happening.

I want Junkrat to feel loved and as if there is someone out there who genuinely would enjoy being his friend (without being bribed or something). Most of his voice interactions with the others are mildly depressing. He’s trying so hard to be friends with everybody but with little return. He’s a sweet guy, truly, and he would love getting to show off all his neat inventions (and explosives) to someone. Even if I don’t understand all his technical talk, I’d love to hear it.

I want to take Hanzo and Genji to a local cafe and just chat about life. What is their advice for life? What’s the funniest thing they’ve seen the other one do? Would they wrestle a bear if presented the opportunity? (Hanzo would not unless necessary, Genji would to show off)

I want to go sit in the forest with Bastion and meet all the wildlife. Not one of us verbalizes the same way, but we can all be friendly and share a magical moment together anyway.

I’m well aware of the saying that “if you want something done you should do it yourself,” but I do think this is something I encounter very little in general and thus could be more widespread. Especially compared to the amount of romantic writing. There’s nothing wrong about writing something romantic, I just like imagining loving on everybody without implying or requiring anything more.

To those that write/have written platonic interactions betwixt and between our faves, thank you. To those that write in general, whether for themselves or others, thank you. To those who read these stories, blurbs, headcanons, and so on, thank you too. Thank you for putting something into the world that makes me appreciate the creativity of people. And thank you to those who appreciate it and make writers feel more connected to other fans and fellow creators.

Anywho, thank you for listening to my thoughts. I hope you have a lovely day/evening/night/etc. 💕
