the other significant others is a book about how amatonormativity-sorry, compulsory coupledom-sucks for everyone and we can do better if we dare to try. I think it is pretty well done and i know it's sorely needed. it has incredible mainstream accessibility and I genuinely hope people read it and the ideas circulate more broadly. but it drives me a little insane that aromantics get thrown into just one list in the intro and then the book seems reluctant to truly acknowledge that some people genuinely don't even want a romantic relationship and that's ok. anyway, the book tells a series of stories about various platonic life partnerships. it weaves in history about changing friendship and marriage norms and facts about modern relationships and how they might not fit our assumptions. the last chapter even dives into some really exciting legal reforms that could address amatonormativity! sorry. compulsory coupledom. anyway. I recommend this book for like....your allo cishet friend or like, your mom or something

Hiii you’re actually not that far away from reality with morning star = sun, bc in Rome where Luciferus was an incarnation of Venus it was “the first star” on the horizon, right before the sun outshines it. Lucifer is our beautiful darling ☀️
Your art is so good thank you for the food ❤️🌹🫡
hiii! bfdkjbg ugh i know there were reasons why it is Venus and i would not be miffed about it if not for the fact that the sun is right there. i will be deranged in the tags.
and aaaaah thank you kindly!!!!! ❤️🥹i love drawing these fuckers so i'm so glad you like the art <3

Okay, I'm gonna be a little hater for a moment and I'm gonna try to avoid putting it in the tags or anything but:
I don't like the pairing of chil and shi. I think it's a little forced. I like both characters, and they have a fun dynamic! But I REALLY feel like it's an exercise in pairing up everyone. Can't leave a loose pair of guys hanging around, not when they can be shipped! Can't let this connection be platonic when romantic is there!
The thing for me is, for one of these guys, the dungeon is a job. He's doing it because it's good money and he has a useful skill set, but eventually he'll leave and work elsewhere. The other? The dungeon is his LIFE. Living in the dungeon is all he wants and all he thinks about. In post ending stories, you learn he literally goes right back to the dungeons without hesitation. This isn't a viable long term relationship... At best, it's a dungeon fling.
