Why must there be so many stories where the endings involve permanent goodbyes? What is the point of building up these beautiful interpersonal stories of love and growth, only to reach the end of a journey, where they need to lean on each other more than ever, only to decide that it's suddenly better to throw all of that away and send everyone on their separate ways? Why must the lesson always be that "nothing good lasts forever" and that "we need to learn to say our goodbyes and go our separate ways?" Why is it that, in media with a target age of children to general audiences in particular, that we have to shove in the message that hey, there's a good chance you're never gonna see your loved ones again, and you're gonna have to find ways to deal with that! But it's okay, because being on your own makes you mature!
First of all, that's not always true! In fact, I'd say it's more of a rarity for people to lose their lifelong connections! It's innate human nature to want to protect and nuture and care for others, so why is there so much media that decides that hey, you know, maybe we're better off alone! Or media that says enjoy it while it lasts! because it won't! Why is the assumption that everything is going to end? There's already so much heartbreak and gloom going on in the world and in people's personal lives, why would you want to tell your audiences that they're right to worry?
Could we not, for a moment, suspend our disbelief? If we can believe in magical realms and ghosts and fairies and dragons for the sake of the story, why can't we also believe that these characters who have spent years together in-universe are better off staying together? Why can we not believe that they can build a better life together than they ever could apart? It's unrealistic? It's unhealthy? Who cares!!! it's fictional!!! Why must we apply real life rules to fictional universes? If your entire story is about this group of characters growing together, where does the sudden desire come from to pull them apart in the end?
"But this character needs to go home! They're not from here!" Yeah, and there are ways to assure your audience that goodbyes are not permanent! There are ways to have your stories end with goodbyes and have them work out for their characters, but what's the point when those goodbyes are permanent? Can you really justify a reason other than to make the audience cry? If your plan is to eventually perma-separate these characters from the very beginning, what's the point of creating all these stories that paint them as inseperable? If it turns out that they are, in fact, seperable, then why go through all of the trouble? Why grow this love between these characters if you're just gonna shatter it completely at the end?
People are meant to be in each other's company! People are meant to be loved!!! Your peers do not exist only to help you grow and then to be disposed of, they're there to be loved!! Stop treating your characters and your stories like they're perfectly disposable!!!

dusttale 03
03 is a timeline where things went the same but went a different way
its called 03 cause 3 is an odd number
dust03 (commonly refered to as 03) has adopted a total of 5 kids because he wants them but doesnt have an interest (he does but he pretends not to)
03 actaully dealt with dwarfness but due to an error in the code it was broken and hes now 5'9 instead of 5'2
he's adopted pj , CD and CP and core!sans and horrormare (from the actual horror timeline of horrordreamtale which was the beta timeline)
03 visits hindy alot aswell as berry but berry and im dont really get along

Pardon the rude name, but I have one thing to say.
…I have no idea who any of the vine ocs are…
I forgot to change my name-
The vine crew were a one piece based crew -
I have kept it as the name since I have a roleplay with yeet about them and am to lazy to change the name

SO many problems would be solved if Marvel just made Peter Parker polyamorus.
Oh he can't choose between MJ and Felicia? Who cares, MJ and Felicia know and like each other and both respect each others relationship with Peter. Both of them understand boundaries. Both of them want Peter to be happy.
Just make him FUCKING POLY MY GOD I doubt Felicia would care and I think at this point in her friendship with Felicia MJ would be more comfortable with it
Fuck it, I'd take Cindy/Felicia/Peter polycule too.

"Guy who has multiple girlfriends and is mistaken for being a Top Tier Macho Man Harem Haver but actually all his girlfriends are dating each other and share the hobby of bullying him" is a Trope and I hope you all realize this is about Peter Parker
