i think the most important thing in the world is vbs being best friends who love each other so much and are super affectionate with each other like. listen to me:

- when toya hugs kohane he'll pick her up a tiny bit (a tiny bit is all he can manage. noodle arms) and she squeals with delight every time

- toya just really likes hugs in general. it's suuuuper common for him to just come up behind akito or an or kohane and wrap his arms around them and lean his head against theirs. hello and goodbye hugs with him always last a good 20 seconds because he won't let go sdjfjsnfkd

- kohane loooooves to tuck her hand in the crooks of her teammates' elbows while they're walking together. this way she won't get lost <3 sometimes she'll hold onto like, akito's elbow with one hand and an's with the other. it's very cute. and as vbs has grown closer, she's started to switch to hand holding. (don't tell anyone but akito's her favorite to hold hands with because he swings their arms as they walk and it's cute)

- also, kohane's hair tends to be messy because of her damn hats and this bugs akito so he spends a lot of time fussing over it. he'll just sort of...tug her closer and take out the pigtails and comb through it with his fingers. at some point she starts packing a brush in her bag to placate him. i like to think akito knows how to do hair because ena will sometimes make him do hers so after a while he stops just rebrushing kohane's hair and starts pulling it up in different ways... braiding it... etc... and he starts keeping things like hairspray in His bag. yknow. jic

- the hairstyling extravaganza extends to an and toya too. (i mean there's only so much akito can do with toya but he tries...) it's a calming thing for him - fiddling with his teammates' hair as they plan setlists or wait backstage. and having your hair played with is always nice <3

- i think shortly after teaming up an started giving kohane little kisses on the cheek. not as a romantic gesture - just simple affection! and after a while, she starts kissing toya and akito too. toya is always happy to lean down so she can pepper his face with little platonic kisses, but she usually has to wrestle akito. it's all in good fun and he'll always relent and let her kiss him in the end

- speaking of platonic kisses, i ALSO think that akito gives toya little kisses from time to time. it started back when they were still BAD DOGS. toya wasn't having a great time one night and after soothing him with a good sturdy hug, akito kissed the top of his head. it completely floored toya and akito blew up when he realized what he did. and they never fucking talked about it <3 but since toya didn't seem MAD about it, akito decided to stick with it and kept giving toya kisses like that. it's not common, and he ONLY does it when they're alone. except for when they make up after their little divorce arc in the main story. IGNORE the gunjo sanka mv and listen to me. they HUG after their heart to heart. and akito kisses toya's cheek. right around where he punched him

- but an's overaffectionate nature kind of rubs off on akito after a while. so he becomes less stingy when it comes to kisses and starts giving them to kohane and an too <3

- they lean against each other while sitting like kohane might cuddle into toya's side or an goes and lays her head on akito's shoulder

- and they have sleepovers and they fall asleep comfortably tangled up together (or not comfortably. at all. seriously cuddling while sleeping can get so uncomfy but it's worth it to be so close to someone you love). ken's taken quite a few adorable (and sometimes really funny) pictures of all four of them passed out on piles of blankets and futons. just dad things

i could go on forever it's just. platonic affection is so important to me and it's so frequently Ignored in fandom spaces. and in the case of vbs and the prsk fandom specifically, there's a tendency to separate vbs into akitoya VS anhane. which is so 💔 because the whole POINT of their story is that while they started off as separate duos, that's no longer the case! they've become such good friends. they're inseparable.

like even jokes about akito and an being "wlw and mlm hostility" are starting to wear on me because... they're friends, guys. they're incredibly close. akito is always looking out for an and is right by her side to support her through all the shit she's currently struggling with. there's no "hostility" present in their relationship. like, if you actually look at the game's text, an... rarely teases akito. the person who teases him the most is actually toya but you know... whatever... gotta reduce an down to a mean lesbian amirite... completely ignoring that she's one of the kindest characters in the whole game...

idk. i juuuuuust wish that this fandom wasn't so defensive and obsessive over shipping akitoya and anhane (mostly akitoya while anhane is a second thought but YOU KNOW) because it results in so many people watering down vbs as individuals And as pairs - because all they care about is shipping. like i promise that the other dynamics in vbs are worth exploring (both platonicallyand romantically but too much of this fandom still feels threatened by m/f vbs ships). and hell, explore akitoya and anhane on a platonic level, too! don't just jump to shipping them because teehee boyxboy and girlxgirl. take the time to understand what draws them together in the first place

i love friendship. i love when friends outwardly express their affection for each other and it doesn't have to have any romantic implications. can we talk about friendship for once like this game is literally The Ultimate Friendship Simulator feat. Hatsune Miku

#it's so dark in here #project sekai #akito shinonome #an shiraishi #kohane azusawa #toya aoyagi #vivid bad squad #kind of a cross-post from twitter i'm just thinking about these dorks again... #every day i become more and more partial to akikoha and antoya over akitoya and anhane. like i'll always love vbs every way but #the set up of akikoha and antoya more clearly represents how much their friendships have grown. yknow. i'm going to cry #also antoya is so funny because it's like the only an ship where she gets completely disarmed and becomes an easily flustered mess #and toya isn't even doing anything. he's just standing there being a corny dork and an's like AAAAAA AKITO HOW DO YOU PUT UP WITH HIM #and akito just laughs. and gets a pillow thrown in his face for it #polysquad and m/f vbs ships are GOODyou are all just mean. #also if you ask me there is no 'm' in vbs anyway akito's a lesbian and toya is. um. all of it.evrry gender but also NONE of them 💖

Bashing my head in the ground and sobbing at how Briseis and Patroclus mirror the kind relationship (both platonic and somewhat familiar) with Helen and Hector. How they both treated the women with kindness and respect, how both women mourn their deaths and are given their dialogue to do so. How both women were trophies of war to a man that took them away from their first husband, but Patroclus swore to Briseis how she will be revered as the legitimate wife of the hero Achilles, and Hector stood up for Helen all time, both as friends. How they both wailed out to the deaths of the beloved heroes, merciless in battle and kind to their people, faithful to their loves all the same.

No one stop me I'm moving to the sea to drown my sorrows.

#This was mostly about the m and f platonic friendships but I also want to say that Patroclus and Hector mirror each other quite a lot #which makes me wonder if. down to their deaths. this simily was supposed to be intentional #i might have to keep some notes on this but anyways #SOBBING YOU KNOW IM WEAK FOR WOMEN BEING RESPECTED IN ANCIENT TIMES #ESPECIALLY WHEN IT ISNT JUST THEIR HUSBANDS BUT OTHER MEN AS WELL LIKE PLEASEEEE #right tags #tagamemnon #briseis #hector of troy #helen of troy #helen of sparta #patroclus #illiad #the illiad #greek mythology #i cant put the translations bc i keep reading this bitch in spanish

I'm gonna say it: there'd be a lot less vitriol towards Sydcarmy if it was an m/m ship, especially if it was another attractive white man. 😒 For example put a man like Luca (sorry for dragging you into this babe) and put him in a Sydcarmy scene like the one under the table or the panic attack without changing anything. I bet it'd SUDDENLY make sense to them. 🙄

#sydcarmy #clutch speaks #hitting the hornets nest with this one lads #but fuck it's been bugging me for a long while now #side note if these mfuckers really wanted great m/f friendships #Tina is literally RIGHT FUCKING THERE #she has such fantastic relationships with Ebra and Richie #this is really only aimed at a particular set of hateful antis btw

i genuinely believe that ColoPale is scared that if they make boys and girls from different units interact beyond "hiyaaaa, how you doing?" fans will storm over to their headquarters or whatever and beat them up and never play PJSK ever again forever and ever

P!!! I love that game so much, oh my Lord~ I've also always wanted to play AMR, but I've never gotten around to it. I know that these two 100% deserve some love and support though, so I approve!!

Fun fact: I used AMR as inspiration in college to design a "twisted" beauty and the beast game :)

Honestly, rewatching some episodes REALLY makes me appreciate the friendship between Gus and Willow. For Example, Gus telling Hunter to not hurt her when they first met? Pure protective best friend behavior. When Gus went over to Willow’s house in FATCDP to help her with her new ‘do and they both criticized how Belos really looks like? Pure bestie behavior. Willow trying to stay calm when Amity was infantilizing her, and Gus encourages that her personality right now IS THE REAL VERSION OF HERSELF???? I need a friend like that. And the fact that they were each other’s only friends FOR YEARS and they kinda had something codependent going on but now that they have FLOURISHED and have other friends now, but they HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT EACH OTHER AND STILL GOT EACH OTHER’S BACK AND ARE VERY AFFECTIONATE WITH EACH OTHER AND IT’S NOT ROMANTIC????? Moral of the story: I love them. 

#gus porter #willow park #the owl house #ngl they are A REALLY GOOD M/F FRIENDSHIP AND ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVES #plus we don't even know if they're confirmed queer or anything so them being that protective and affectionate with each other #is even better! #I mean I HAVE queer hcs for them but I can tell they're probably not canon and won't force it onto people #LIKE SOME DO #anyways I think we should call them The Emerald Duo

thinks about sophie aubrey & stephen maturin's relationship and explodes

#stick figure shaking a bloody mass in its teeth. jpg #aubreyad #thoughts #they are so special to me. platonic m/f friendship of all time

[br1ghtestlight]

there's a very special place in my heart for long term m/f friendships where theyre like soulmates but not romantically speaking. They're each other's true love but in a gay non-romantic way and it could never work romantically bcuz that is not the context of their relationship. unfortunately there are only like 3 good examples of this trope and theyre Not Good shows

#cheesy 2000s medical dramas will have two side characters with an absolutely addicting horrible toxic dynamic where theyre soulmates #and hate each other but also love each other and cant live without each other. anf then everything else sucks #and people will laugh at you if you mention the show like NO I AGREE WITH YOU THAT ITS BADLY WRITTEN!!!! EXCEPT THIS SPECIFIC DYNAMIC #save me m/f soulmate friendships. save me. Save me friendships #txt
