#to form a certain relationship

[enbyman]

I've seen someone say that aplatonic people should seek psychological help because they've faced difficulties making friends in the past and improved after undergoing treatment. Well, a few points:

1. Your experience is not universal

2. I can't form friendships because I get bored and apathetic very quickly. And I have no desire to make friends. Like, not a little bit. Aplatonicity isn't just "having difficulty in making friends" (although an aplatonic person may have this experience, aplatonic people are diverse)

3. There are people who don't feel platonic attraction but have friendships (just like feeling sexual attraction ≠ liking to have sex, feeling platonic attraction ≠ like making friends)

4. Not every neurodivergent person who cannot form friendships seeks or will be able to "get better"

5. Your experience is not universal

“Not fierce enough to run with the wolves, but too vicious to find belonging amongst the dogs.”

[ID: Digital illustration of a pinkish coyote on a textured purple/blue gradient square, on top of a cream paper background. The coyote twists in an unnatural way, its limbs in different directions. Its head is thrown back to almost be resting on its back, which it's raised at the read haunches. it’s tail is slightly longer than a real coyote’s and bent at several angles. Its mouth is open in a somewhat blank, aghast expression. it’s yellow eye is larger than average and wide open. the line art is scratchy and in various purple, except for the mouth which is in various shades of pink. The fur is textured and messy, and follows the same patterns of a coyote’s coat in a pink/purple color pallette. There is a cream outline around the coyote that matches the background and also cuts into overlapping elements, such as the back limbs or the head. The cream background has a paper texture that overlaps the rest of the image, In the bottom right is a watermark that reads “LEAVES AND INKS” handwritten inside an oak leaf shape /end ID]

okay the other thing eliot’s dating thoughts reveals is that even though the man views himself as the most irredeemable person he also thinks he’s the most normal of the crew… buddy, i’ve got news for you, you’re also a little weirdo

My most maybe controversial take on the live action situation is that if at this point you are still actively watching and going “hey guys this wasn’t that bad” at these live action movies you are not a real animation fans you are a fan of the OG movies despite them being animated. It’s just a blatant lack of acknowledging how the fact that these movies where animated shaped them

Because at this point it’s literally impossible to ignore the actual harm these “live action” movies are doing to animation.

I love making up Martian lore that makes senseTM, but also isn't canon in the slightest. They did not evolve in environment even slightly similar to humans, J'onn and M'gann are out of place on Earth, let me push that shit further!!!

'bard's lament' this 'bard's lament' that'.. it was a pretty solid episode like pls.. all the pieces are on the board. things are lined up. things can and probably will still Happen. like rip to season 3 finale haters but im different lol. it seems SO hilariously dumb to even say anything about characters being ooc, things not happening as they 'should' or whatever tf like..... this very much unlike other IPs. some complaints simply can't apply. the people who play these characters actually personally OWN and wrote them in the first go around. and not only do they understand their characters intimately, they are doing what makes the story flow better in a new medium. which is not to say they are chopping down what's really important, they are actually condensing 4 hours of dice rolling and dick jokes into something coherent and less than half an hour long. they are making it work. and it is working. it's not perfect and i actually really do get some people's disappointment in some choices, but lbr some of them are 1) completely understandable when you take everything Critical Role is into account (kash, for one. i mean i wasn't too happy about it too but i do get it) and 2) things that are not resolved or can be further developed in the future (bard's lament can still happen, in some way; i can already come up with like, three ways -hehe nice-- it could happen in s4). i mean this is fucking season 3, hasn't all of this been said a thousand times over by now? seems pretty weird people are still doubting and not trusting these storytellers know what they're doing. like not only does the og campaign still exist as its own thing but also enjoying an adaptation for what it is is entirely possible. also? having fun is allowed and recommended, i mean, jesus christ

hey i hope this doesn’t come off as rude, i’m just genuinely curious- i saw ur informational post abt objectum and while it answered a lot of my questions, there’s still something i don’t get: how can it be a proper thing when no real relationship can be formed? i can understand the desire alone, but what’s the appeal when it can never go further than that? it’s like being into a fictional character or a megafamous celebrity who you’ll never meet, sure the longing exists but how can it progress into anything more than that? again i rlly hope this doesn’t come off as rude, i just think i don’t totally get it

i think your idea of relationships and love is very tied to loving humans specifically? and that's chill but it seems like it is restricting you in terms of being able to imagine other forms of relationships. anyways the thing is that an objectum relationship Can go further than that. an objectum relationship Can progress beyond just desire. plenty of objectum people are in relationships with long-time object partners!

the key is about one's own perception. a lot of objectum people percieve reciprocated affection from their object partners, contributing to their sense of a positive relationship. others may simply decide that because they care about their object so much, they would like to be in a romantic relationship (or beyond). for example: a person who loves a public statue might interpret it as a declaration of love if they find a pink ribbon placed on the statue. a person may percieve it as flirting if an object behaves in a particular way, for example if a printer only works when the person is nearby. or a person might simply be attracted to an object and decide to participate in romantic / platonic / sexual activites with the object, thereby creating the feeling of a relationship.

i myself am not in any particularly significant objectum relationships but i have seen many people who are and who love their objects very much. it's pretty cool to see the variety of objects that people care for. and even if you don't understand someone's form of attraction, it's important to be able to say "That's not for me, but it's alright". hope this helps

Alas, it begins.

(I’ve hit the point in DS9 where Odo pining for Kira has become a noticeable sub-plot 😩)

[willow-p012]

Yuno and Mahiru should be allowed to make out and be a vessel for one another's desires and have a weird relationship that makes practically no sense to every outsider. As a treat!

Ooh for Toad Peach AU how did the first meeting go with the officials of the Beanbean Kingdom? Ohh maybe more on Peach and Peasley's becoming friends. Does he help her feel a little more confident in her true form? Gimme all of the dynamics hehe

idk why i thought i dreamed this ask but i forgot you sent it 😭 here ya go!

the beanbean and mushroom kingdoms have an extremely close relationship that’s rather old, and as such the births of both heirs were highly celebrated by both families.

here, peasley is roughly 1 year older than peach, and the betrothal between the two was set up very early so the two do not remember their first meeting as they were infants at the time. but still, they visited peach many times before her debutante.

peach’s parents died in a horrific incident i still haven’t detailed when she was around 3-4, which did result in queen bean reaching out more often as peach grew older to offer additional guidance and support :]

but back to peasley and peach, they were thick as thieves and peasley introduced her to fencing! toadsworth wasn’t a fan at first but eventually relented (whatever endears her to peasley, plus any experience with a weapon could come in handy if the mushroom kingdom were to ever leave the peacful era). she’s quite adept in both forms, but prefers to fence in human form. it isn’t something she practices often in current day but it’s something she treasures the memories of alongside trying his bean pillow and learning about beanbean allies and his travels :]

though, as they got older, the two became more aware of their betrothal and what would follow, but things weren’t clicking so they decided to experiment a little (read: they kissed and neither of them liked it. sad!) but neither have brought up calling anything off as both are quite fine with something contractual if it came down to it (but peach would call it off if peasley asked)

at peach’s debutante, they danced together first as a show of the kingdom relationship, and when the first attack/kidnapping happens, the beanbean kingdom offered aid and refuge (little fungitown)

re: her appearance and peasley—she initially meets the beanbean family in toad form, but as she got older this became rarer as experience (and her self image) became priority. peasley makes sure to praise her toad form’s beauty when he sees it, and when mario does come into the picture is of the firm opinion alongside daisy that he does not deserve her if he doesn’t like her true form. on most days she agrees with him

as for superstar saga, he still arrives to the mushroom kingdom ahead of time and toadette volunteers to take peach’s place instead of birdo (the effect is later undone before peach arrives in the beanbean kingdom)

post superstar saga, the two meet (peach crownless) to discuss their love interests, and their betrothal is officially called off. consequent meetings with the beanbean kingdom are held in her toad form :]

What If Julius and Subaru both met when Julius was a commoner and Subaru got transported Sooner

fun stuff im sure !! but haah okay given julius was a kid when he was a commoner - yeah theyre both kids here!! not sure how old but definitely somewhere before the age of ten. and i think theyd be up to some shenanigans together im sure!! theyre both very mischevious kids (or from what little we know of little kid julius, given iirc tappei hasnt specified just How Much of a "delinquent" little kid julius is okay. but hes definitely the type to sneak out past curfew or something. stay up late reading too, probably. that sort of thing). and also subarus a kid and no way he ISNT missing home poor guy T^TT getting ripped away from home like that is bad enough at seventeen, getting ripped away from home when you are like. no more than eight or something is Bad. but luckily!! im assuming subaru gets found by the juukuliuses (julius's parents probably?) and thats how julius and subaru form their friendship / long-term yearning for each other (if you so desire that) (okay but no way subaru ISNT gonna form long-term yearning for julius flajsdlf). but yes i think julius and subaru would be silly happy kids together and julius's parents would be like oh no this other kid is so lost where is he from :(( but hes so loved by julius already too... well we got another kid under our roof now.

except. julius's parents die in a flood. so i mean. Hypothetically.... either julisuba survive this one first try or subaru dies for the first time. which. ohh god. oh god. oh g -

nghm okay my take on the neuvillette 'ships' is that they're...all kinda boring? theres a lot of interesting dynamics to explore dont get me wrong but for all of them romance is the least interesting option lol. first is because i dont think he's romantically-inclined by nature (aroace king) but also he intentionally tries to keep people at arms length because of his position as iudex (so even if he has friendly connections i cant see anything 'more' than that actually working out) .

however the most interesting juxtaposition for his character imo is being so filled with love for the world and the people around him and simulataneously not experiencing 'love' in the way a lot of people traditionally understand it. he loves people so deeply no he does not want to pursue any of them romantically. it doesnt even have anything to do with him being a dragon, he's just like that.

I think if Ziyal was more obviously a little fucked up a lot of people would go from low key ignoring her to hating her but she should've been more obviously fucked up
