#i need to make more friends so i can find a qpp

[crypt1dcorv1dae]

So is riz gukgak canonically aroace or is he JUST canonically ace bc let me tell you a lot of his struggles are DISTINCTLY very much aro feels (as an aro person) so even if he's not CANONICALLY aromantic, I know in my heart that he ABSOLUTELY IS

[stiffyck]

I’ve been having a bit of a headache dealing with family giving me shit for being aro ace lol. If you have any qpr/aroace headcanons - desert duo or elven duo - it would rlly make my day, if you want! Feel free to answer this or not

Oh absolutely.

Desert duo:

Scar would realise he's aroace after he started dating Grian. He's always thought you sort of "pick" your crush. He'd see someone good looking and ask himself:

"Does this person give me butterflies in my stomach? Do I want to date them? Do I want to kiss them?" And he'd never really know the answer. The idea of dating the person usually didn't seem appealing and kissing them even less so. And he never knew what the butterflies in his stomach means. How would that feel like? How would he know that's what he's feeling?

So when he meets Grian and they become friends Scar thinks he might have a crush on him. He thinks that he's very close with Grian and that this is the closest feeling to what the others described as a crush.

So they start dating. But Scar doesn't really like that. He likes cuddling and holding hands but he doesn't like all the other romantic stuff.

They talk. Grian suggests Scar looks into what being aromantic and asexual means.

Maybe they stop dating, maybe they don't. That's honestly up to you!

Grian is fine with just cheek kisses and hand holding and cuddles. He doesn't need more from Scar. So they could still happily stay as partners.

-

I think Scar would love being on hermitcraft because the hermits value platonic relationships just as much as they do romantic ones.

Grian loves that too. Grian can be aroace too, depends on how you wanna see it.

-

QPP desert duo would hold hands and cuddle a lot. Scar is clingy.

Grian is usually stubborn and does not want to admit that hes clingy too. He likes when Scar randomly comes over and just hugs him from behind maybe or if hes sitting Scar will sit on his lap or lay across him. Scar just likes to spend time with Grian even if they dont talk- he'll just watch Grian work in silence. And if he can hold Grians hand or hug him or somehow cuddle him while he works? even better.

Grian loves playing with Scars hair.

Grian also loves to read-

he will lie on his bed with Scar holding onto his middle while he reads. if Scar is awake, Grian will read out loud to him.

Grian loves when Scar presses kisses in his hair. Scar loves when Grian kisses his nose or his cheeks.

Elven duo:

they love gossipping while doing each others hair. Gem loves braiding Scars hair and Scar loves adding all sorts of accesories to Gems hair.

One of them will stop by the others base to ramble about one thing or another while the other listens and continues with their work.

They're not very keen on handholding but they will absolutely lean on one another and hug.

They like to fight! Scar might not be the best at pvp but he's getting better and fighting with Gem is awlays fun.

They both like to dress up together. Scar has plenty of fancy suits and dresses and he lets Gem raid his dresser occasionally so they can both dress up just for fun.

That also usually leads to them dancing. Scar constantly trips over his feet but is otherwise a great dancer. Gem finds it sweet.

They love watching movies all cuddled up together in a pile of blankets with Jellie. They comment on the stupid stuff that happens in the movie. They love complaining!

Okay thats all i got rn! I hope your family gets their heads out of their asses and i hope you survive the rest of the holidays!

The aromantic Levy headcannons anon here!

Levy is in a qpr with Jet & Droy. Gajeel ofc becomes a part of it once he joins Fairy Tail. So does Lily

She did feel like she was a bit of an outcast since the girl's and some guys would talk about romance and she didn't understand it. Same as Lucy, Levy enjoyed reading about it, but the love parts just to her, weird and confusing

Jet & Droy helped her figure herself out and finding out she was aromantic made her smile.

Levy had to contain her excitement when Lucy approached her, talking the way she used to about romance. She was happy that she wasn't the only aro girl in the guild.

Gajeel surprisingly was the easiest to tell that she was aromantic. "...I'm aromantic" "Cool" "Wow. That was easy" Natsu on the other hand, was the hardest. He just stood there with a confused look on his face so she had to explain it in a different way. "I prefer friendship over romance, Natsu" "So calling you my best friend is okay?" " Yes you dummy"

it's not a lot but I hope you like them

sending hugs and a nice warm bowl of soup your way, anon; I love these mwah <2

writing this post just in time for aromantic spectrum awareness week!!

aromantic fairy tail headcanons

♡ yes to everything above. levy adores jet and droy, then gajeel and lily. she gets such a sense of fulfillment and joy when she's with them.

♡ levy wears green on valentine's day. yes, it's a statement, and she'll patiently spend the day explaining aromanticism to anyone who asks. she also binges on discount chocolates with lucy that night as they watch shitty romcom movies. the two can and do coexist.

♡ another qpr/qpp pairing is juvia and lisanna. they're not only close emotionally; lisanna is by nature a physically affectionate person, and juvia is severely touch starved. the only person she could theoretically be comfortable with touching her is gajeel, but he's not one for soft affection (she's been thrown into too many brotherly headlocks over the years.) so when lisanna casually grabs onto juvia's arm when they're out and about, a switch flips in her head. juvia is very touchy with lisanna, and only lisanna. this leads to most of the guild thinking they're dating.

♡ the words "we're just friends" leave a bad taste in lisanna's mouth. juvia wrinkles her nose when she hears people say "oh, so you're not more than friends." both consider each other one of the most important people in their lives. them being friends doesn't somehow diminish that. juvia lets the worry slip when she's shopping with lucy, who brings her to levy. the three have a long and thoughtful discussion, but honestly, it leaves juvia feeling confused. she's never been one for close relationships with anyone, given her childhood, and all these labels make her head hurt. levy and lucy say that's fine, the only person she really needs to make sure is on the same page is lisanna.

♡ lisanna is very much on the same page of "idk what we are but I like where we are." they decide to just... keep doing what they're doing. when there's new developments (juvia gets a nosebleed when she sees lisanna in a swimsuit, to her own horror), they talk it out and set boundaries for what they want and don't want to do (juvia very, very shyly asks if she could give lisanna a kiss on the cheek.)

♡ also, at some point, juvia and lisanna move out of fairy hills and get an apartment together. mira objects to this only on the grounds that she won't be able to prevent them from starting kitchen fires with their baking attempts. she ends up over more often than not, and lisanna feels her chest swell with warmth at seeing her big sister and her best friend get along so well.

♡ also big aro vibes... gray, cana, and loke. the three of them are so chill about everything. the guild suspects they're in a relationship, but then they also see cana going out with lucy and get confused. gray just shrugs and says it's a girls' night. completely unbothered king. besides, he's got a board game score to settle with loke and natsu.

♡ erza, I think, is a big romantic at heart, but the thing is she does that to everyone. she gets a lot of money from s-class jobs, and there's only so much she can spend on herself or new sets of armor. eventually, team natsu starts finding beautiful bouquets of flowers on their doorsteps. someone dares to tell erza that men don't like flowers, and suddenly every man in fairy tail is getting a monthly bouquet of roses.

♡ erza also misses a lot of "romantic" cues. she wouldn't be able to tell if someone was flirting with her if her life depended on it. gray and natsu, the little shits, take full advantage of this to mess with the poor suitor. I also think erza is demi, so she really has to have a strong emotional bond with someone before she considers having sex with them. she likes to take care and be taken care of, so she wants it to be with someone who knows her inside and out.

♡ natsu honestly has huge aspec vibes, mostly because he completely bulldozes over any societal conventions, labels, and definitions. if natsu feels a certain way, he's going to let the person know. if he wants to be cuddly with them and they're okay with it, he will be cuddly. doesn't matter who they are; even laxus gets the occasional natsu cuddle. levy and lucy almost lose their minds because they're so busy having deep discussions about the intricacies of aromanticism, and then natsu comes in like a breath of fresh air because he genuinely does not care. not in a bad way, he loves to listen to lucy's passionate rants (she's cute when she's excited) but. it's just something that never bothered him. personally, I do think out of everyone, he's closest to lucy in the "romantic" sense, but even then, it's just a different type of relationship to him. there's no way in hell he would specifically choose just lucy over everyone else in the guild. they're all his family!

♡ in conclusion, fairy tail is aromantic and aspec as fuck.

[lovelylichabee]

Good morning I have some headcanons for yall about the archives crew (mostly Martin bc I love him) in no particular order. Be warned there are some spoilers for throughout the series.

- Martin has ADHD so things like audio processing and object permanence are a challenge, and Jon being unaware of this is one of the reasons he thinks Martin is incompetent in the beginning. Because what else do you think of someone who takes twice as long to type out transcripts than his peers, or who can't focus on the follow up research assigned to him sometimes, yet other times focuses so much on it he forgets to take his lunch? Plus the man "loses" files on his desk (because to Martin he just sees a stack of uniform files and getting used to Gertrude's weird looking date-based labels as an organization system compared to the Dewey Decimal System they had in the library is damn difficult!) Upon learning he has ADHD though Jon finds that with some accommodations, Martin is actually decent at doing what he needs to for his job and feels a bit guilty for being such an ass.

- Tim was the first friend Jon made upon being hired into research which to Jon is weird because he's always had a hard time making friends (partially because he's autistic and partially because he hasn't had the routine environment to try to make friends since college). Tim is also a pretty opposite personality to him, so to Jon it felt sort of like when you meet a dog and the dog likes you *way* before you like the dog, but then he grows on you so you kinda sigh and go "Yeah yeah, we're friends"

- Sasha and Tim's hookup never grew to anything more because Sasha didn't know how to tell Tim she was aromantic without possibly hurting his feelings (meanwhile if she had just told him, he would've been fine with it and happy to be in whatever kind of relationship with her, qpp or otherwise). She never gets to tell him, so that's another reason why Tim never caught the differences between Sasha and Not!Sasha when Not!Sasha suddenly had a boyfriend (besides you know the reason that Stranger Rules that says only one person usually notices the difference).

- Jon doesn't like coffee black coffee but drinks it anyways mostly because he has always been told "if you add sugar and/or creamer to your coffee then you don't like coffee you like sugar and creamer" so to keep appearances and insisting he does like coffee, he never adds anything unless he's sure no one will see. Really, he likes black coffee with a bit of sugar because the sweetness gives the flavors something to travel on so he can appreciate them more because otherwise they're overpowered by bitterness. He doesn't like tea because drinking it feels like he's just rubbed tea leaves all over the inside of his mouth and it leaves behind a dry feeling that he hates.

- Martin's pure lonely domain wouldve been a rainy, foggy moorsland kind of environment where its very pretty but you feel like you're walking over the same hills and you feel like you see houses in the distance but you never get any closer to the chimney smoke you see peeking above the fog. You're also always damp and the air feels heavy, and you don't have an umbrella. But for just those moments when youre standing on tops of the hills, looking out to the rest of the environment though, you wonder why you'd ever want to leave somewhere so pretty, even if it is rather lonely, and far too quiet. It's a reminiscent kind of quiet, where you reflect on why you're walking alone here in the first place and not inside one of those houses in the distance with the chimney smoke... and then you keep walking because maybe if you make it there, they'll be kind and let you inside, and you can shake off all of this chilly dampness by their fireplace and company.

- Danny is Tim's best kept secret after he dies. Tim stops talking about his family after that, gets really quiet when the topic is brought up in conversation, but he's still careful not to look upset even if his shoulders tense a bit when he smiles and says something along the lines of "Nah, I don't have much family anymore" when he's asked. Their parents passed away some time after Danny was gone (by natural causes), and Tim never forgave himself for not being able to get back at whatever killed him before they passed, so he doesn't feel it's right to be allowed to talk about them until he does, like some kind of mission he has to finish before he can let himself grieve properly.

- Peter and Elias either are or were married, but with the way they act its very hard to tell if they are actually divorced or just on the brink of it because of how they interact with one another, leading to the rumor that they keep divorcing and getting remarried frequently spreading around the office. Elias knows it frustrates Peter to have attention on them like that so he doesn't stop the rumors, and sometimes actively encourages them when they're in another one of their "divorced" periods. Peter doesn't actually ever fully leave though because he considers the relationship more transactional and useful, than anything nearing "love". They have their soft moments together though, brief little moments of understanding, very privately, and never discussed again after they happen. Elias misses him after he dies, even if Peter was trying to get him killed.

- Tim could've gone Desolation if the idea of serving an entity didn't disgust him. Choosing to serve an entity is a choice that you have to make, and Tim could see in Jon what doing that does to a person, and what people serving the Stranger did to his brother (even if he didnt know exactly what it was). Even if Jon didn't really start accepting being The Archivist until after his coma, Tim was alive before then and knew that it had changed him. Plus experiencing some of the other entities (being attacked by "worms", being in the tunnels, being in Michael's hallways, dealing with Jon's paranoia and stalking, being in the unknowing and seeing what happened to Danny), he has seen what kinds of effects these entities have on people. The Desolation likely did call out to him in that moment of the explosion, and he spat in its face because he'd literally rather die than ever give himself to something like that.

- Personally, I like big but short Martin who is a bit stronger than he looks because of hefting around file boxes in the archives. I imagine "the stacks" being a bunch of shelves sort of like a library but instead of books, there are boxes that fit in, with the files inside of them, but they're left a bit open and uncovered because air flow and climate controlled environment. I don't know if that's how it works bit that's how I imagine it. And then there's a lot of file boxes sort of stacked on top of one another on the ground and stacks of files also on the ground because that archive is an unrealistic mess and sort of ridiculous. But yeah. Big but short Martin who has some hidden muscle.

- Honestly if I imagine them all standing next to each other, Tim is the tallest, Sasha is only an inch or 2 inches shorter, Jon is a bit shorter than Sasha, like up to her shoulder, and Martin is the shortest and needs help getting things off the top shelves from the other three because he wobbles too much on the step ladder and it makes him nervous (another reason Jon likely finds him a bit irritating in the beginning).

- Jon's hair starts off short and very proper but grows out a bit in season 2 because he's too busy being paranoid to take care of himself. He gets a haircut when staying with Georgie in S3, and then his hair grows out a bit again while he's kidnapped, and he doesn't cut it again before The Unknowning. It grows to his shoulders during his coma. He doesn't take that good of care of it leaves it long until the Buried, where he has to cut it all off. He doesn't cut it again and he takes à bit better care of it after being rejected by Martin. It grows abnormally quickly leading to it being past his shoulders and with some natural curl by the time he and Martin do actually run away to the safe house. He wears it up most of the time during S5.

- Martin's hair is loosely curly and a ginger orange or strawberry blonde but fades to white as he gets pulled further into the Lonely by Peter Lukas. When hes working in the office under Peter and Jon asks him to run away together, its very washed out but not fully white, and when Jon rescues him from Peter's Lonely, it is pure white, and slowly fades back to its natural color once they are together and they get to the safe house, though a patch of it remains pure white up in the front of his hair, as if he had Poliosis. In his s5 domain when he's talking to himself, Lonely!Martin continues to have fully white hair.

- I have more but this is already pretty long so I'll stop here and if people care about this I'll answer asks or do another one.

[honey-bee-asylum]

When you kissed me I felt nothing. No. Not nothing.

I felt dread. Dread of what is to come. What would you ask of me next?

Then came the disgust. You enjoyed the kiss while I wanted to jump into the river in front of us.

How was I ment go tell you?

Tell you that for all the money you spent on me that I, simply, did not like you.

So I pushed. I tried to make you want to leave and it didn't work.

And then I left. I couldn't explain it to you. You wouldn't understand. You're straight and I'm not.

I don't know what I am.

So when I asked my friends to decried love, I realized something. Something I always wondered but wished wasn't true.

I cannot fall in love.

I can love my family, my friends, my QPP. But not more. I cannot love you. And I knew that it would break you even more.

I want to love. I want to find someone I can kiss and hold and make love with. I want to find someone I can spend my life with and look at them and feel love flowing through me.

But I never will. Because I will never love. And I do not know how to accept that. I need to accept it.

I need to need to accept that I am aromantic. Accept that...

I will never love

"video games rumors" anon here, the type of rumor I'm curious about your opinion on are the kinds of rumors you'd hear in a playground; i.e. something like "If you groundpound the fountain star 2401 times you can unlock Luigi in super mario 64!" or "If you do all of these super convoluted steps in pokemon you can get mewthree!" etc etc, if that's too broad then maybe just playground rumors specific to pokemon.

My original ask was spurred by a video by midnight krick, covering a pokemon iceberg from an alternate universe where the last pokemon games were gold and silver. Do be warned though that the video heads into creepypasta territory, especially near the end.

OHHH okay yes i get you now! sorry maybe that was obvious before but i felt like there were multiple directions that ask could have gone lmao

i am old enough to have experienced a good chunk of video game rumors firsthand, though not to the extent of proper 90s kids - i kinda got the tail end of it i think? and most of the rumors i heard were strongly proliferated through the internet, like the experience of seeing one of those fake Mewthree videos during pokemon gen 3 on really early youtube when i was too young to understand how those videos were made and couldn't tell the difference between romhacks and reality yknow. while i heard about rumors outside of pokemon (i was fascinated by some animal crossing ones back in the day because i had a brief stint with wild world for instance) i have to admit i've been This Autistic about pokemon since i was little and most of them... were pokemon rumors lol

eventually around age 9 i found out that most of the rumors i had seen floating around were edited images or romhack videos and i actually got into really early romhacking at that age... and made my own fake pokemon rumor video and uploaded it to youtube and everything, but i felt so guilty immediately after uploading it that i took it down. which i regret now because i genuinely think it may have gotten a couple people to fall for it. here's a reupload of it, i rescued it from my mom's ancient PC:

i'm kind of enamored with this thing i made because even at the age of 9 i tried to make it thinly believable and intriguing - lugia was only available in gen 3 through events or xd gale of darkness, so it was a pokemon people would want but couldn't find, however not a mythical or a made up fakemon. the three kanto birds being a requirement ties into the 2nd movie, but since they're in kanto and not hoenn it becomes infinitely harder to test and disprove this, not just because of the level requirement but because of the need to trade them over. i was really thinking about it i guess lmao. of course the audio glitch making the cave and lugia battle silent hurts the believability.

unfortunately there's no "unregistered hypercam 2" in the corner cause i used some other software... i think it was called camstudio? idk i might be wrong and i'm too lazy to look it up rn. anyway sorry for going on about that so long this ask just made me think of it and i wanted to talk about it lol

@ the second bit of your message, i have not seen that video in my suggestions and now i'm probably gonna watch it later, ty! i appreciate the warning but let it be known that i love pokemon creepypastas, i met my qpp and my closest friends through pokepastas, a certain pokepasta character when searched on google has like three pieces of my art near the top lmao - point is i'm REALLY desensitized and instead of being offput that actually makes me want to watch it more, i unironically love that shit to this day

[hype-blue-fixation]

So I was tryna explain what queerplatonic meant to a few of my friends, and it made me realize how difficult it is to describe that kind of relationship unless you just experience it for yourself. They tried to compare it to friends with benefits or being in a weird kind of relationship where one person sees it as romantic and the other doesn't. It's not like that.

So as I force myself to stay awake at this ungodly hour, here's my attempt at explaining it from my current understanding:

- Queerplatonic is a type of relationship, not a sexuality. Someone who is straight or gay can be happily married and also have a QPP (Queerplatonic partner).

- Platonic means that you have an emotional attraction to someone. There is usually not a physical or sexual attraction involved. If you have a physical attraction, it becomes more romantic. If you have a sexual attraction, it becomes sexual. The majority of a queerplatonic relationship comes from a motivation to have emotional closeness.

- The previous point is why "friends with benefits" feels really inaccurate. FWB almost always involves something sexual and/or physical just for the sake of fulfilling a desire or need and doesn't mean you're emotionally invested in each other.

- A QP relationship is something that is agreed on and seen equally by both people. If the people involved are not on the same page, you need to have a conversation and find common ground.

- The "queer" part of QP is wherever you set your boundaries. The thing that makes it different is that it's a very deep and emotionally intense kind of friendship that you can't really explain without being in one. It can often be mistaken as a romantic or sexual relationship depending on where your boundaries are, but the defining factor is that there are only purely platonic and emotional attractions to the other person.

- It doesn't fit in a neat box and that's okay :]

These are the ramblings of a sleep deprived cryptid. I'm always learning new things about myself and the kinds of relationships I experience. But hopefully it helps someone understand at least a little bit better

[bandtrees]

🛒 tell me about ur themes ollie

I WOULD LOVE TO DO NOTHING MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fanfic writer emoji ask!

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc. - im going to speak these words and you're going to think "HIGURASHI FAN", and you will be correct. generally speaking, a theme i am obsessed with, is perception vs reality. being neurodivergent, in my experience, is like being your own unreliable narrator, not even knowing you're unreliable - so it's a topic that's very near and dear to my heart.

in particular, i love getting into the nitty gritty of it: in particular, outside forces shaping how a person thinks, but they're not aware of it. tttaac mob and crowfic ritsu are biggest examples of this, so is tmtrainer eden, you feel protected isaac, and reanimation technician itadori - the feeling of when you're angry and don't know it's because you're hungry, or depressed but don't know it's because of stress you've been carrying for a long time? that there is my bread and butter.

(^it's also the reason i'm so into um... brain damage? just conceptually? i find it fascinating as someone who, albeit in a neurodivergent sense, has a lot of their perception of the world changed by physical nonsense in their noggin (like autism, adhd, anxiety). it's a specific thing to keep returning to, from my transformers fics to tttaac and beyond, but what can i say. i love the intrigue that comes with someone's entire being being shaped by a physical organ and what happens if you poke at that.)

i also, PREDICTABLY, love gory imagery, i think gore is a constant in my writing, whether it's actually happening or is just used as extended metaphor - cuz, and i tell this story often, i got my start with fanfiction (and writing in general) through grimfics and creepypastas, and one of my biggest fandoms ever, the one i have to thank for a lot both creatively and for the reason i even know my qpp and why i'm on this site at all, was warrior cats - where, to a kid, feeling cool and mature reading about death scenes and gore is awesome. so i'll always gravitate towards some manner of blood and guts, its my favorite

speaking of warriors, in my oc fic, spottedfur's pride... i need to learn to use nature imagery other than going off of what season it is, lol, but for characters living in a forest, it checks out. there's so much season imagery in spottedfur's pride. i put maybe a bit too much emphasis in the first arc on half-melted snow and muddy slush at the tail end of winter, but in my defense, i think it makes for cool visuals, and i'm still kind of struggling to write for characters i cant fall back on human traits, concepts, etc, to describe. so for now, have sooo much season imagery lol.

also i've been told my writing style is very "psychological/out of body introspection -> physical sensation -> psychological/out of body introspection -> so on and so forth" - not as a criticism, just something my friend cyn pointed out to me once, and.. i always notice that lol. it's because i think i'm very good at writing overarching thoughts and broad-strokes feelings and how they change over time (i'm a huge character study guy) but i struggle with scene-by-scene action-by-action Plot Progression(tm), so i cheat my way out of it by using paragraphs of internal monologuing as free timeskips. and granted i think i'm good enough at it lol

tysm!!! i love getting to ramble about my process... if you couldnt tell lolol.

[atvbs]

TELL ME ABOUT THE VAL/WHI AU!! Please

GUH let me drop a lot of pieces i wrote down hehe

its going to be lengthy so ill tuck it under the cut

akito starts off as a florist (based off of his vivid old tale card) but after the disappearance of touya (and nene) he enlists and trains to become a knight in the 2-3 year time frame before the main story begins

touya and nene are childhood friends too!! i need more touyanene content so im just appealing to myself here with that lol but they met when touya used to run off to get away from his father - touya would watch nene practice acting and all the like :]

when touya was a little older (13ish) he would then meet akito. the two hit it off very well too - they became very close and akito would trespass into the castle grounds to visit touya at night. sometimes with flowers

the entire cast makes an appearance in this au for sure just many will have lesser roles outside of the gamer quartet, tsukasa, saki, amia, and rui. some are apart of the kingdom, some are just villagers, others are beings who help guide akito and emu to touya and nene

i have made it clear that touya and nene (and rui too) are fucked up and evil in this au yes... the two are mostly controlled by rui... touyas sword is the source of his powers and also controls him heavily.. and nene can become a dragon. yeah <3

touya is abs merciless and at the beginning of the main story. he attacks the kingdom with nene. injures tsukasa and some others. and kidnaps saki.

emu is a close friend of nene, tsukasa, and rui and thats another reason why she wants to travel with akito bc she too has been trying to find nene

emu is also somewhat clairvoyant, can read minds, purify and heal injuries, and has magical powers teehee so where akito falls short emu def can carry. the two balance each other out and end up making a good team

mafuyu, ena, and meiko appear as hermits (footsteps event set) who akiemu encounter and they end up helping guide the two

same with shizuku, haruka, and luka who appear as fairies (shizukus recent focus event set)

also to backup a little but bc emu was a close friend of nene. and that touya and nene were childhood friends. and that touya and akito were very close. these four have def interacted as a group before and consider each other friends. though akiemu was prob the dynamic where they were the least close of them all

((im going to add in that akty established qpps in this au teehee yeah its my au and i get to make the rules))

rui is also corrupted hes not evil by default no he used to be apart of the kingdom too in the past but he left on a quest several years back and never returned. he was in search of an ancient and powerful magic that ended up being imbued with evils and took him over...

when touya and nene ran away and were overall very vulnerable rui convinced them that he can make sure they can have the power to protect themselves if they agree to work with him. they did. and boom. fucked up and evil........ this also is what ends up happening to saki..

rui being corrupted with this evil magic desires to take over the kingdom....

((and yeas everyone becomes purified by the end of the story and theres abs a good ending bc i REFUSE to kill anyone off permanently))

and despite touya being corrupted. there are several moments where akito has been able to break through to him just a little. these two are insanely close ofc so it makes sense right? touya sees the rose earring he gave akito. a memory resurfaces briefly and he stops attacking and whatnot for a moment. haha. its emotional. explodes.

also epic akito and touya sword duel bc yeah. i think it would be cool. and AUHGHFFHHGHD

its akito and emu vs. touya and nene really tho. which god. the image is in my head and. explodes explodes explodes.

okay i think thats all i have for now. this is really long oops. teehee <3

[autumnalfallingleaves]

What are some of your favorite headcannons on Anne?

Anon, you have great timing, because I just watched some Amphibia with my roommate and her friend >:D

I love headcanoning her as romance-favorable/sex-rupulsed aroace and transfem :D

She has sciatica in her right leg- this is totally projection (because I also have sciatica in my right leg), but it also makes sense because she’s bound to walk a bit funky because of the one shoe, right? And my theory is that I have sciatica because I also walk a bit funky so now Anne has sciatica, too. I gift this to her lovingly.

Other than liking K-Pop, I headcanon that Anne likes indie rock- stuff like Vampire Weekend and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, maybe. I’m basing this off of the vibe of No Big Deal, which she wrote.

She’s literally such a good chef. Maybe even better than her parents/grandfather. If she wasn’t a herpetologist, she’d be a chef.

Speaking of a herpetologist- for her job, she gets a green pickup truck. If the worlds aren’t seperated, she gets one with a bench seat in front so she can fit her entire family. Two humans and a frog up front, and two frogs and a human in back. Frobo can ride in the bed of the truck.

Sprig names it the Frogmobile. Much to Anne’s chagrin, it sticks.

Her first name is actually Annabell but she hates it. She goes by Anne at every opportunity.

She eventually gets her name legally changed to Anne Savisa Boonchuy-Plantar

When she still had her Calamity powers, leaves would actually grow in her hair, due to her powers. This is why her leaves and sticks visibly grow when she uses her powers. If she didn’t lose her powers, she would need someone to help her trim all her plantgrowth. In a world where Earth and Amphibia aren’t separated, the only two people she trusts to actually clip her leaves are her mom and Sprig.

Related, if the worlds were able to stay together, Anne and Sprig would develop a relationship that’s a mash up of best friends/siblings/QPPs. They’re idiots who share one braincell (affectionate).

She can’t keep her right shoe on to save her life. This is a lifelong thing and not just an Amphibia thing.

She uses the Plantar Family Hunting Dance to capture specimens for the aquarium and also to fend off large predator animals.

She can make actual frog noises. Related, Sasha does a terrifying Toad battle cry.

She becomes a lot more acrobatic after Amphibia and actually starts doing a little gymnastics as a hobby after she gets home.

I know it’s canon that she legitimately likes eating bugs, but I’d like to think she starts eating them as snacks at school and work. She, Sasha, and Marcy all gain reputations as the girls who like eating bugs as snacks. Anne will also cook with them and has roped in her parents to liking them, too.

On a slightly angstier note: if we follow the canon ‘verse, Anne finds it really damn hard to sleep alone after she gets back for good. She slept with the other Plantars in the same room for upwards of seven months during a war (they probably had to share a room in the tunnels), so it’s hard to sleep alone, after that. She keeps waking up with the fierce need to check on her frog family. She can’t do that anymore.

She uses her phone a lot less after Amphibia. She really enjoys getting outside and going to the forest and stuff. Swamps are her favorite and she’s actually a pretty decent fisherman, now.

Nobody she knows can rival her greenthumb. She starts a vegetable garden when she gets back from Amphibia.

Anne becomes an accidental internet celebrity after the invasion and she doesn’t even really notice because she uses social media a lot less. She mostly posts pictures and talks about amphibians and her garden.

Not as much as Marcy or Sprig, but Anne is an artist, too. She likes keeping it as a hobby, though.

She writes songs in her spare time and plays them on her guitar.

Man I should probably stop now huh alfsdhjlkdfsh

A Letter For Little Me

This is also posted on my Medium blog, along with other writings of mine!

A letter as a trans man who's about to get my top surgery tomorrow. I decided to sit and write a letter for my younger self, and I figured I'd share it in case anyone else may find comfort in it/relate to any of what's said.

  Dear Little Me, 

  It’s Casper, aka you from 2023. Hope you like the name we’ve chosen! We’re now 27, and tomorrow is a very big day for us: we’re getting top surgery tomorrow!

  We’ve wanted this for quite a while, huh? Over ten years we’ve wanted this change. Over ten years we’ve wanted to make this body really feel like ours, and now it’s finally happening. I hope you’re not disappointed in how long it took, but are rather excited to know that it will in fact happen!

  For a long time we’ve struggled to feel at home in our body, we’ve struggled to identify with our birth name, we’ve struggled to connect with the life that many of the adults around us expected for us to live. We’ve lived on such a tight leash with such a painful muzzle for so long, I know it’s hard to imagine a life without it. I promise you: we will free ourselves, and we will make this body a true home for ourselves.

  As I prepare us for tomorrow, I remember how we used to cry to mom at night about hating our chest and our painful menstrual cycles. We would beg for mama to help us, working towards a breast reduction or getting on birth control to alleviate the pains, to alleviate the dysphoria.. she did what she could, but it never felt like enough. We didn’t know at the time, but our gender dysphoria was trying to communicate to us that something was off. You did the right thing to listen to the feeling, and I am so sorry that so many of the adults around you made it feel unsafe to be even more open about it. But I want you to know: there are adults who love and support you, I promise you that those adults will continue to fight for you in the ways that they can.

  We’re no longer in Indiana, we escaped! We moved to Florida for a while, but that wasn’t the place for us. In fact, Florida got worse than Indiana was in some ways. While being there led to many amazing and wonderfully life-changing experiences, we also would have been unsafe to stay. Us and our polycule (wife, boyfriend, and queer-platonic partner/QPP) are all now safely in Oregon. It’s like the best of both worlds: we live in a rural farm town again, but it’s far more liberal and diverse than in Indiana. We’re also still in contact with many of our Indy friends, even as many of them flock and flee to other parts of the world- or those who have stayed in Indiana to continue the fight to make things better. We’ve also made many wonderful new friends and have built a new family for ourselves.

  I know it can be hard to imagine, but we pursued what we really wanted to do: we’re an actor! You grow up to become a voice actor for podcasts, an award-winning script writer and stage performer, we’re doing drag shows as a pageant-crowned drag king, and we’re helping host murder mystery parties as we PRETEND to be a detective… I know you never wanted to actually be an officer of the law, and I promise we’ll never be forced into that role. In fact: we’re staunchly ACAB. (I promise you’ll learn what that means sooner rather than later). You never wanted to go into the military, and you did the right thing by backing out of that by any means necessary. I know it seems like dad’s plan for you is the only option that you have, but it is not, and we’re living a far better life than we could have imagined.

  Now that we’re in Oregon, we’re able to spend our time making art and helping fellow queer and disabled people.

  Before you fight me on it: honey, we’re disabled. No matter what dad said about health, we are disabled and that is a-okay… Our body and brain need more care, and I promise you’ll get the care you need. Our new doctor is wonderful and we have a medical team that believes us. We are not weak or lazy, we’re ill and our body needs extra care- like Sarah, ours is just harder to see than hers.

  We’re able to work with our friends and partners to make art and create resources for folks in need. We’re able to connect with people like us, or people that are so different from ourselves that it opens our eyes to brand new ways of life, and we’re made all the better for it. We’re able to help kids who grew up like us to live better and happier lives, we’re able to meet people much older than us who have so much wisdom about life that we’re finally able to receive.

  Unfortunately, mama is gone now… I promise you: it is not your fault. We knew that she would die before us, likely while we were young… but it isn’t the end of the world when that happens. It hurts, but we survive. Make the most of your time with her while you can, and when she’s gone we’ll find new ways to communicate and contact her. Our witchcraft is still very important to us, and it allows us to become even closer to our mama than we ever believed possible. You need time without her to work on yourself, and you’ll eventually be able to have a healthier relationship with her.

  Dad’s gone too, but not in the same way. We finally had the strength to cut him out of our life. You don’t need to worry about him, he’ll be okay. Cutting him out is going to be the best thing you could do for yourself. It’ll hurt and be hard, but it’s going to be such a freeing and liberating experience. He can’t control our life, he can’t force us into anything we don’t want to do, he can’t keep us in a box anymore. I promise you: life is so much better without him tugging on the leash or tightening the muzzle anymore. You will miss him and the good times with him, but you’ll find far better parental figures over time. And you’ll also find out that you are not the only person that he mistreated, and many adults did see how he was treating you as bad. You’ll have more allies than you could imagine, you’re not alone.

  Tomorrow is our first gender-affirming operation. We have the medical support we need for it, we have a community of loved ones helping us through, and we have the insurance and finances to afford it. We still are fighting to get other medical needs met, but it is infinitely better than it was in Indiana.

  As of right now, I don’t have much more to say. I still need to set up our recovery space and make sure the home is clean before I become unable to do chores for a while. But I wanted to give you a sliver of hope that things will get better, and I’m sure I’ll write more letters to you over time.

  Thank you for holding on and continuing to fight, I promise it’ll all be worth it. We’re still fighting for better, but we’re not doing it alone anymore.

  I love you, hun. I promise you’re doing great, and you’ll come to love yourself in time. Be kind to yourself until then, you’ve gone through a lot.

Sincerely,

  Older You.

Can you be awesome and give me some well thought out prongsfoot headcanons? (If you have the time), I want to write a story with then and I need more on their dynamic, than just the basics.

(Friendship and Romantic! 😁)

omg hi yes!! i’ve never gotten an ask like this, i don’t think, and my hcs usually develop during stories so let’s see if i can do it :p

x

- soulmates in every universe, if not romantic then definitely platonic. they’ll find their way to each other, always.

- james has a crooked nose that sirius loves kissing. he’s very possessive about it, actually

- j might be generally a bit thick bc of the whole spoiled-only-child thing but he’s particularly attuned to sirius’ moods and emotions. i can imagine him writing long ass letters to his parents in the first few years whenever something tripped him up (which was, ykno, everything considering how sheltered he was) to so for help and sirius featured a lot in this (mum, how do i help with nightmares? mum, he doesn’t like treacle tart what do i doooooo, mum he wasn’t allowed to fly as a kid this is a travesty, mum he’s sad a lot and chai doesn’t always help, mum i don’t know how to make him smile etc etc)

- this one’s controversial, i think, but i love thinking of sirius as modelling james’ behaviour. we know he grew up being fed violent hatred + a superiority complex the size of Everest yeah? fully believe his process of unlearning started with james (the first time he used the word mudblood, our boy probably clutched his pearls, scandalised, ‘what are you doing u can’t say that!!’ so sirius started turning to j as a barometer for how to act, sometimes, bc he realised he couldn’t trust his family (and by extension, his own) behaviour. this isn’t instant, mind, but a gradual, time & labor intensive process and even after he grew out of it, i think sirius had this subconscious tendency to look for james’ approval.

- i hate the whole ‘james matured for a girl’ arc so my take on it is that his ‘growth’ came from a combination of ailing, elderly parents + rising war tensions + most importantly, sirius. end of 5th year he got a first hand view into the treatment his best mate received by his family and that horror made him want to be the best he could for sirius. i’ve always seen james as a protector and a caregiver, someone who takes people under his wing & looks after them, and i don’t think it was ever more obvious than around sirius. post 5th year, he gained a focus that he lacked before and would spend a lot of time just picking up on skills that could help him be better. duelling, defence, first aid, knitting, cooking etc etc. anything to feel useful.

- the shift from friendship to romantic would be tricky & probably require outside intervention or a lot of time, i think. they were already so close as friends that it just never occurs to them to take it any further ykno? their hearts & souls are intertwined, they’re super physically affectionate, and they’re already each other’s no. 1. so someone either has to bring it to their attention, they take yeaaaaars to realise ‘huh. this isn’t how i feel towards others’ or they live a wonderfully fulfilling qpp life together.

- i’ve talked about this before but physical!!! affection!!! and not just in terms of like, kisses or hugs but touch. they’re always in contact in some way. it’s comforting, safe. arms around waists, shoulders, hips/chin resting on the other, leg slung across, hand on a back or leg. you get it right? it’s subconscious, it’s natural, and they don’t even realise they’re doing it unless someone points it out

- sunshine and sunshine protector!!!! james was loud and brash and took all the space in a room. he was also sensitive bc he’s not told no often so when it has to be done, u need to do it in a certain way so he doesn’t internalise it as a personal failing and shut down. sirius is the best one to do it bc he can stand up to james w/o being intimidated + realise that the carrot works better than the stick w him. there’s a very real risk of his light fading out. at the same time, this makes sirius very protective of him. it’s why i wrote shovel talk. even in a universe where lily & sirius were friends, i think he’ll have a Talk with her to confirm her intentions. sirius is not willing to take chances with his james.

- pet names! james called sirius darling and my love and honey and sweetheart because he’s an old soul in a young body. sirius called james love (and sometime babe/baby). their go to for each other was ‘si’ and ‘jamie’ respectively, which was a term of affection on its own bc only they used it, no one else.

- james has *always* been attracted to sirius; he just didn’t realise it bc he thought this was how everyone felt towards sirius. ‘oh yeah he’s so ethereally beautiful, it’s just like, a fact of life and everyone knows it’ and thinks the random boners are normal until one day he realised that, no, that’s not actually the norm & he’s just a simp who thinks everything sirius does is perfect (think chin in hand, heart eyes, sighing)

x

ok i’m gonna cut myself off here bc this is already criminally long but i think it’s pretty clear i can go on for days lol. i tried to include both but i’m not great w romantic so i hope that came thru 🙈🙈

pls tag me in ur story when u write it (even if the hcs don’t help lol u can still use them in a process of elimination to find ur niche)!! i’d love, love , love to read it + always here if u wanna brainstorm 💜

[genderqueerdykes]

hello, i’ve 100% now realize after a two year journey that i am aro. but idk, i want to be more open about it to my irl friends, just like with my lesbianism, but i’m afraid that people will make arophobic comments or just straight out deny it in front of me. i’m always asked, “do you have a special someone/crush/etc?” and im afraid that if i say no, then ppl will go “oh but everyone has a someone!” the casual arophobic bs like that. i also only have interests in qpp and possibly short term relationships, and i just hate how so much of the people around me except me to be this perfect partner for a potential romantic relationship. also i call myself more grey-romantic because i still want to experience what being in a romantic relationship feels like, despite the fact that i dont feel romantic attraction. kinda like wanting to go on a roller coaster but your afraid of heights. if you get what i mean.

i at least have a group of supportive online friends who get what i am (and are also aro lol)

felt. just. oughhhh, hit me right in the feelings

i'm glad that you've realized who you are, and have a group of online friends who get you for who you are (and are also aro lol). i get that fear because people just make a bunch of assumptions or accuse you off the walls stuff. it's weird because like... idk i've tried to be in romantic relationships and i always, always burn out on the kisses, cuddling, using pet names, being mushy, etc. very quickly. i can do it at first because it makes the other person happy but i always burn out and wish i didn't have to do it anymore after a few months into the relationship, and i don' tthink that's fair for me to keep doing to people who Like romance. i just don't though it's tedious and very uncomfortable for me as an autistic traumatized person. i don't like being touched that much, especially not light touches. makes my skin crawl. but again i don't want to keep withholding that from people who want it

humans have a diverse and varied experience. some humans adore romantic gestures and being soft and intimate with people in that kind of way. a lot of people don't. the people who tell you you're broken are projecting their feelings on to you, because it would harm them to go without. well, you are not them, and if they say those kinds of things, those folks need to realize that humans are not cookie cutter people and we all experience something a bit different. no two aro people are exactly alike, either

i hope you're able to find some qpps or something that suits your needs and that people in your irl life come to understand that it means that you just. don't have certain feelings like others may but that it's literally okay. i have had very piss poor reactions from just about everyone i've admitted that to, so i wish you the best of luck, it's hard, but having support online is a great place to start to build your confidence. take care of yourself, stay chill

[not-poignant]

So a younger friend of mine who does not identify as queer (yet) was talking about friendships and I was like 'the word you are looking for is queer platonic'. Normally I can list a dozen gay or bi or trans or poly or kinky stories to people to help them get a feel for whether they like the label for themselves but for queer platonic I pretty much just jumped to you and Glenn, lol. So, any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi anon!

Generally I just make suggestions to people re: sexuality instead of telling them 'you're looking for this word' because these are always self-defined. (If someone who identifies as/is gay wants to be in a relationship that everyone else would call queerplatonic, but they wouldn't, then it's not queerplatonic. Period.) Even if it looks like a duck, talks like a duck and quack likes a duck, the only person who gets to call themselves a duck is the person in question, in these circumstances.

Your friend might also want to look into romantic friendship, which is another thing that exists, and isn't the same as being QPP. I've been in both kinds of relationships and they can be remarkably different while still being completely non-sexual. But for someone who is like 'I want to be close to friends without being in a relationship' - they may be expressing a desire for a QPP or romantic friendship situation, and both can be very different.

That being said, I've never found any decent representation of queerplatonic connections and relationships. I know they're out there, and it might be worth googling for some content. While there are romantic asexual stories out there, it's just not the same thing, and it doesn't hit the mark if you're QPP or in a QPP relationship.

That being said, Glen and I have two headcanon couples that we always kind of say are queerplatonic and awesome, one I think was intended to be by the creators, and the other is a mess because the creators didn't know what to do lol. So the first is Joan and Sherlock from Elementary, where the creators have talked openly about the kind of relationship they have, and the only reason they didn't use the word queerplatonic is because they didn't know it, lol. Joan & Sherlock are great role models, because open communication is always valued, and they become increasingly validating towards their mutual need to live together as non-romantic and non-sexual partners and friends, and because they get a happy ending, neither one forcing themselves into conventional monogamous allo relationships.

The other is much older and probably won't be suitable for your friend because of how problematic it would be in this day and age, but that would be Will and Grace from Will & Grace, who are actually another pretty decent example of a queerplatonic relationship, but a much more fraught one.

Honestly, I can't think of any queerplatonic novels though. There's more ace ones, even aroace ones, but an aroace relationship isn't a queerplatonic relationship (unless both parties agree that it's both), and likewise, a romantic friendship isn't any of the above, so it's just...fraught re: trying to find representation. It's also worth your friend taking some time to brainstorm what they want, even if it seems like it's not allowed, they never see it in the media, or it seems like they shouldn't. Ultimately they don't need to put a label on it - though it can help - provided they can still get their needs met.

[funky-writer-man]

'home' for whichever character you're looking to talk about rn!! :D

Home. Describe their relationship with someone in their family, friend group, with a QPP, a romantic interest, etc.

Okay doing this for Wolf with Lucan.

Sorry this has become basically just a summary of them. And a long one. My apologies.

They have....a complicated relationship. They were in the actual army together, and were really close. Best friends, inseperable. Understand eachother more than anyone else. Wolf (then using his legal name) is hiding his queerness and Lucan doesnt even allow himself to consider that he might be. The country they live in is very hostile towards anyone 'different'. Then Wolf finds records of queer people that the military has and realises all of them are in danger. He tells Lucan, but he is just too...compliant. He won't let him. Wolf doesnt care about what Lucan says, this has radicalised him a little bit. He does a bit of arson and boom less queer people in danger one queer person a criminal. Lucan couldn't even dream of defending a queer criminal, so he doesn't even try to make his own opinions. He hates these "others", after all. He has to choose, queer ally or queer hate. He picks the staus quo.

Many years later, Wolf has changed his name, to Wolf. He is seen as the leader of the queer revolutionary group. He's not really, but the media likes painting it that way. He's not too unhappy about it. Obviously, no-one knows exactly who this Wolf is. Lucan does, when he is witness to multiple actions done by wolf and friends. He tries to kill Wolf. After all, he's going up in ranks in the army. It's his job. Wolf catches on quickly. They are enemies. Lucan knows Wolf is a criminal. Wolf knows Lucan is a bigot. They hate each other, though Wolf can't resist to tease him about their past together. He knows exactly how to piss his dear old friend off. Its fun. Lucan wants to personally shoot him in the face.

Then, by chance, Lucan gets in an encounter with some of the revolutionaries. They capture him. Wuh oh, now he can't leave because he knows where they're hiding! They can't exactly kill him coz they might need him....

Wolf grins. "Oh I have a spare room! You can live with me!". Lucan is about to scream and or cry.

The two of them hate each other. Lucan is a horrible person, right? But after multiple screaming matches, beating each other up and...possibly other stuff, they figure they kinda have to tolerate each other. The group keeps Lucan around because its entertaining and maybe useful. He slowly grows accustomed to them. Maybe not close, but they have a mutual understanding. Etc etc I'm just writing out the plot hope you enjoyed the roundabout explanation of their relationship. Lucan ends up being queer and also learning that maybe he's not Right I think you can see that's where it's going.

F E L I X

(     *     VALENTINE’S DAY ALPHABET   !

F   :   FLIRT.   is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

I'd say once Felix is confident, he's good at flirting- the caveat being that it takes some time! Mostly, he's shooting for what he thinks is fitting, or the comfort zone of another. If he has to throw them off, it better be with what they like- perhaps an adjustment of positioning, the hem, or something if they're visual. A hug with an extra lil backrub if they're physical, etc. Willing to discuss this kinda thing plotwise, but he picks up on this kinda thing, tries to observe.

Other muses on the blog tend to much, much more direct, but they don't care about comfort zone- so they can be very, very pushy or sudden. What I imagine is a good chunk, of not the majority of the population of unnamed or offscreen people to react with 'ew, fuck off' or be lowkey terrified/concerned, lmao. Too good at flirting /lh

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

He doesn't advertise it socially, but Felix really likes hugs. His are either strong, or 'bubbly' and energetic- maybe lightly patting/shaking the other. If appropriate, it can turn into more- a massage, kisses, grooming, etc. As a side note some of his pokemon love hugs, so he will give to them!

L   :   LOVE.   who does your muse love?

Generally speaking, Felix has an appreciation for the world, first. The kind of Agape love that he doesn't want to let go of. Love as a friend. But! as displayed by the ships here, he's got romantic and sexual interest! For now, the most 'canon' love interests game wise I have are N, Arven, and Todd Snap; those're the ones that 'make sense' without extra plotting. Felix also has sort of mild celebrity crushes on Raihan, Siebold, and maybe Hassel and Larry (tho Paldea seems to be much more in-person style than from afar tbh.) The F/Os list otherwise lists, but as a self insert blog, selfshipping is a safe bet- all of the muses here have some sort of ship w/ Felix, romantic or platonic.

My other muses are generally the initiators- but he loves them! for Pokeverse he's canon with Volo, Ingo, and Arven- technically also my Emmet, but I haven't sat down and actually written out 'what' the dynamic is for that doc In Words for Emmet; i know some of the scenarios, just need to feed his muse. similar deal with my inactive Adaman- though only the vagueness of a ship is in mind, no real scenarios yet. I was gonna make icons and shit but got lazy. the delay here is mostly no muse;;;

Felix also has several RP ships, the most solid rn being Teal of @hopeful-hugz , and @flock-keeper ! IIRC everything else is still in the....teasing? sort of stage? Then there's a bit of QPP-ish....stuff going on with @gcd-fcrsaken .

And he's, kissed Ari of @twindragonsprophecy , @bigmolayne , and @pidgeyatto 's Falkner, lmaoooo. like unprompted.

Generally speaking he's 'open' to anything mlm or mlnb, just gotta bring up or get used to the idea. proximity=hotness assessment-

I    :   I LOVE YOU.   does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

it's hard to start or confess, but easy after that! As soon as things are cleared up or established, he will say 'i love you' a lot. I think I've said it to my husband about 5-10 times unprompted alone in the past 3 hours.

X   :   XOXO.   does your muse use / like pet names?

Pet names are a weakness, and some more than others. I can't say he's talented at giving them, or maybe not yet....but he melts at receiving them. If he comes up with something, then yeah, definitely uses pet names.
