We don't talk about platonic marriages enough
I am bisexual. My partner is aroace. We are in a queerplatonic relationship. We have been together for around 4 years and got engaged a little over 2 years ago. We don't do romantic things (we do sometimes, but not usually.) and we don't do sexual things. There's no romance, but we love each other. It is 100% platonic.
But I ALWAYS feel the need to clarify this with people we meet that, it's not "oh haha we were best friends for so long we just decided to get married teehee"
NO
It's still love. We live for each other. We would die for each other. We are attached at the hip. We are each others most important thing in the entire world. Just because we don't kiss or have sex doesn't mean it's not love.
I LOVE my fiance in ways words can't explain. And they love me just the same.
Just because it's not romantic doesn't make it any less of a relationship.
Just because it's not sexual doesn't make us any less engaged.
I am going to marry my fiance, my best friend, the love of my life, and I need people to know that it's not because we couldn't find anyone else. It's not because we said we would if we were still single at X years old. It's not a trend or a phase or anything like that.
I'm going to marry them because I LOVE them.

(update since this is gaining traction again: we're married now!! :D)

i still feel a lot of weird shame about being a man-liker now (i used to not be into men as a general rule for YEARSSS because i'd had one too many bad exps with them in a variety of ways) because I worry it somehow makes me "not queer enough" or smth dsjfkl but . also ... I think the way I like men is in a very gay way. like there is nothing cishet about the way I like men fdsjkl and I'm not sure HOW that is, but the friends I've spoken to about this agree that the way i like men is in a distinctly gay way LFSDHFJKL

S’cuse me while I block MORE people for invalidating Astarion’s pansexuality.
Because every time I see a dissertation asserting that he is gay because he’s effeminate, or saying that because he has a supposed preference for men that women morally shouldn’t romance him (or be hard-locked out of romancing him), etc…
All I can think about
Is the time I tried to come out as bi for the very first time and got scoffed at and shot down. “You’re not bi.” (Over a decade ago now. We were sitting outside a Wendy’s. I was eating fries. I was glad it was dark enough to hide my hurt.)
Or the entirety of my young adulthood being told that I am a woman only. A submissive woman. That I need to be taken care of by a dom. (That my ‘first time’ was almost arranged for me.)
Or “Since when do you use they/them pronouns?” (For the last two years. I just didn’t feel safe coming out to you thanks for asking.)
Always. People trying to tell me what I am and what I am not. Trying to tell me what I need. And they are wrong. I know myself.
Just.
Shut up about Astarion’s sexuality. Shut the fuck up. You’re biphobic. You’re panphobic. Fuck off. Examine yourself. Or don’t. You’re not on my feed anymore so I don’t care.

It's a WIP. The wig is actually not that bad for how cheap it was. Points if you knew who I was trying to cosplay before I tagged it. Added a filter because meh I didn't do make up this is also a filter. But the character only wears red lipstick and a bit of eyeliner so it works. I just don't have red lipstick lmao or eyeliner.
(pronouns are still he/him, yes. I know what I look like that's why I'm picking this cosplay. I like the character a lot also and the costume is basically just wear dark clothes and you're set so lol cheap cosplay)
