William Powell and Myrna Loy in a promo picture for “Evelyn Prentice” (1934)
“We became very close friends, but, contrary to popular belief, we were never really married or even close to it. Oh, there were times when Bill had a crush on me and times when I had a crush on Bill, but we never made anything of it. We worked around it and stayed pals. In this world today, nobody seems to understand how you can just be terribly close and love somebody a whole lot and not sleep with him. If Bill and I had been lovers, then we would have had fights. And if we’d been married, it would have been even worse.” —Myrna Loy
(From Myrna Loy: Being and Becoming by James Kotsilibas—Davis and Myrna Loy, 1987)

Daydreaming of a day I make loyal female friends. I’m tired of having guy friends that cut me off because their girlfriend is uncomfortable. All I want is a good friend.

The codependency issue:
(probs not a popular opinion but...meh)
Steddie break up after a couple of months because of how codependent Steve and Robin are. Eddie's fed up because he never gets time with Steve without her, unless they're literally going to be intimate. Even then, Robin makes a face and a jokes about it, while Steve laughs and walks her to the door.
Eddie can handle that, kind of, but he can't handle it a few days later when Robin stays in the bed with them after a night of watching movies. It's the first proper fight that he had with Steve, and they don't even see each other for a couple of weeks, let alone talk.
When the kids ask, Steve and Robin have wound themselves up to the point where they think that Eddie was being really controlling, and as a consequence the kids are all pissed at Eddie, who disappears off the radar.
Nothing much changes until Robin gets a girlfriend, and is instantly spending less time with Steve. Instead of being together 24/7, she's suddenly busy all the time and Steve feels lost without her. They have a fight about this too.
'You were with me and Eddie all the time' versus 'I'm allowed to want privacy Steve'.
He bumps into Eddie, who's very upset when Steve tells him how they're fighting too. 'I get called an asshole for wanting to hang out with my boyfriend alone, but it's fine for Robin to want the same with her girlfriend? Screw you both, man.' He says, and walks off, blaming them for turning the kids against him.
Steve's reeling by all this. He feels like he's being abandoned by everyone he loves, and ends up working through a six pack with Hopper, who gives him fatherly advice.
Steve wants everyone to be happy all of the time, Hopper says, and sometimes it's not possible. Nobody is entirely in the wrong, but Steve is gonna have to talk to them both to explain how he feels, and see how they feel. Hopper also makes a gentle point of saying that Steve might feel like he has to give people whatever they want so that they stay with him, which is probably a consequence of his parents abandoning him.
Steve goes to Eddie first, and it takes less than a minute for him to start bawling his eyes out. Eddie crumbles too, he was genuinely upset about losing Steve, and after a long talk they decide to try again, but with boundaries in place.
It takes a few days for Steve to work up the nerve to talk to Robin, and she immediately apologises too. Her girlfriend had pointed the same things out to her about their codependency, and she was similarly embarrassed by how she'd treated Steve and Eddie and indirectly contributed to their break up.
Things are a little awkward for a while, but they're fully patched up by the time Robin and her girlfriend head off to college together.
Steve and Eddie stay in Hawkins for a while, saving up to go on a long road trip around the country in style. They end up in Robin's college state and hang out for a while before going their separate ways again until the following summer.

thinking about the concept of soulmates again. in regards to my last headcanon post that i've reblogged ... what if gaia was to die a false death & she just expects to come back to everyone acting as if nothing happened because they don't remember. then she goes to this one person and they just looks at her, mortified like: but i saw you die ... how are you here?

is she flirting with me or have I never experienced a female friendship with this amount of care before

„Little girl, your honesty and pluck have made me a friend, and that‘s rarer than a lover; it‘s more unselfish anyhow.“
„Little girl, I hold your hand, and you've kissed me, and if these things don't make us friends nothing ever will. Thank you for your sweet honesty to me, and good-bye.“
- Quincey P. Morris
So that‘s Quincey, huh? I like him. He seems like a good lad.

'Friends who give up friendships when love comes their way'
I've had incidences with my 'dear friends', the ones I held close to my heart, the ones I showered my warmth and love on, only for them to leave me hanging up on their old hidden wooden hook like a piece of cloth they'll never wear again for getting warm on a winter day, like a sweater you don't wear cause it's itchy and picking your skin.
They left without explanations, without even asking if I had questions for them to answer, without ever knowing that I was planning to go out with them to their favourite cafe nearby, or without being aware that I prepared a hand made gift for them just to see them smile in their darkest days. And although I look back at it, I just miss how things used to be.
The day when we sat together talking about the silliest topics to our careers, from our favourite food to celebrity crushes, and from teasing to pranking each other. But all that it took to erase everything we ever drew on the canvas of our 'good memories' was a person they were interested in, romantically.
Not that I long for them in a romantic way, I just miss us in a friendship way, nothing too clíche, nor too cringe, just pure blatant feeling of being friends and nothing more. Just friends, taking care of each other, finding flowers the other one loves, and cracking funny jokes when the other is crying. Just friends, nothing more.
But guess, it's past that. You've found your solace in your romantic love, and I've lost my only friend in that process. Even though I'm happy cause you got your significant other but now, when I will try to repaint the canvas of my memories, I'll just miss the other hand helping me fill in the colours there. The painting would remain half done cause the other half would be monochrome without you.
Cheers again to us, to my friend who gave up, or to the one who found love. I hope you get a new canvas full of colours on both the halves.
Cause I'll keep my half painted canvas with me till the end to look at it and just recall every time that all I wished for was a friend, and nothing more, and all I got were just silent eye contacts and a long gone friendship.

It's not the same without you. Things are better but there's an empty space, a troubling silence. I have new friends and I have left some behind, this concept of moving to a new chapter in life without you is weird because the things we talked about are happening, they are finally happening, we are changing for good but we are not "we" to witness it together. It's just, you are so far gone and I can't reach you now.
To a long lost friend.

Will never understand people who don’t like friends to lovers. It’s about the PINING. The YEARNING. The UNREQUITED LOVE THAT’S NOT ACTUALLY UNREQUITED. Superior

"I am a terrible thing you know. I build myself as high as the mountains, but come tumbling down under the pressure of my own weight. You being as sweet as you are, pulls yourself down into the cold gravel and mudded self loath with me. Yet in the end, I can't tell if it is because me you built a mountain of your own, or if it is because we are made of the same soil we cant seem to escape."
