Spurred by a recent disagreement between my ex and I, I want ask;
If "other" explain in the tags, or clarify if something seemingly higher on the list is acceptable but something lower isn't.
I'm actually really curious about this because I'm wondering if my view on this is skewed for various reasons.
Edit: I'm talking about what is considered socially acceptable by modern society. I know it's fine to fuck the homies.

Choicale Headcanon #6: Big spoon, Little spoon
Choi Han likes being the big spoon. It makes him feel like he can protect and shield Cale from outside dangers. He also likes the feeling of knowing Cale is within his grasp and that Cale has a lot of trust in him be in his arms at all. Physical intimacy is also just a comfort for him in general since he did not receive any when he was in the Dark Forest.
Cale likes being little spoon for similar reasons. It’s a show of trust on his part for one thing. Proof he got over his original fears about Choi Han and that he’s trusted enough to be in a position of physical power over Cale. Even if he acts like he is just indulging Choi Han he actually finds his strong and reliable presence at his back comforting. He likes feeling as though he is being taken care of. Plus he’s fallen for the idea “spooning -> cuddles -> naps -> slacker life”.
They do occasionally swap for kicks or if Cale want to reassure/comfort Choi Han but their pretty content in their usual roles.

Do you ever want to be held so badly that it eats away at you and you constantly feel the intense urge to cling to your loved ones because you crave physical intimacy so much but have no idea how to ask for it?

my most dearest Liv, I am so grateful for your existence upon this platform. thank you for running this gem of a blog.
I sincerely hope you’ll forgive me for this annoyance but I was hoping you could recommend fics with a draco that secretly loves physical intimacy and doesn’t shy from it later on w harry.
thank you so much ily
Thank you anon, that’s so lovely 🥹♥️ I’m sorry it took me ages to reply, this ask got lost in my drafts and I found it while cleaning my backlog. I really loved making this list because there are a few underrated gems here, I’ve marked the ones with less than 100 comments with an *. Enjoy!
* On Permanence by @the-starryknight (2021, M, 1.4k)
The possibility of going home with Draco is the only reason Harry comes to the club anymore. Tonight, there's a new kind of intimacy to be found outside the neon noise.
Let Me Count the Ways by @thebooktopus (E, 3.5k)
Intimacy comes in many forms. Draco wants to explore them all with Harry.
Is This Love? by @phd-mama (2021, E, 3.8k)
Draco wouldn’t call himself a tender man. He fights the forces of evil for a living, trying his best to pay penance for the evil he’s done. He’s fought and killed in the name of duty, and when he’s not on duty, he tends either to play hard or retreat alone. He doesn’t lean on anyone, and he knows he’s not the first person anyone goes to when they need care. Comfort. That all changes tonight.
Thermodynamic Equilibrium by @dorthyanndrarry (2017, T, 5k)
Harry's far too hot. Draco's always cold. And somehow against all odds, together they create a perfect equilibrium.
Two Starts, One Finish by @lqtraintracks (E, 5.4k)
I feel him before I see him. Nobody stands this close to me while I’m playing, and I’m about to turn to tell him so when he says, “You’re a tough bloke to track down,” and then leans against my baby grand.
* Service Bell by @shiftylinguini (E, 8k)
Draco is: a werewolf, living in a cabin in the woods, minding his own business, and never going to buy plaid because he's not that much of a fucking cliche (yet). He's also counting down the days until he sees Harry again.
* A Truth Universally Acknowledged by @sorrybutblog (2021, M, 19k)
A year out from the war, Harry agrees to accompany Hermione on a historical walking tour of Pride and Prejudice. Not in the itinerary: running into Draco Malfoy, setting off a summer of stately homes, lavish parties, resentful shagging, and maybe, falling in love.
Nice Things by aideomai (2020, M, 22k)
The first thing that happened was Theodore Nott came back from France.
The Last of What the World Left You by @xanthippe74 (T, 25k)
If the wizarding world won’t give Draco a second chance, he has a plan to survive: live in his Animagus form, a carrion crow, in the Forbidden Forest. Not only does Harry Potter come along and ruin it, he’s radiating a strange aura of power. With nowhere to go and a Life-Debt to his mother that Potter insists on repaying, Draco puts himself into the hands of the reclusive Boy Who Lived. Will the bleak corner of Yorkshire where Potter makes his home be another dead end or an unexpected refuge?
REVOLVEVLOVER by firethesound, zeitgeistic (E, 46k)
The work Harry does is justifiable. It’s justice. He works for his country, and his country is a republic—the magical side, anyway. It’s not laudable work, it’s not work he’s proud of, but it’s necessary work. Harry has always taken the necessary jobs that no one else has the stomach for.
* The Darkness Before the Dawn by Ren (E, 55k)
A mysterious creature is loose in London, stalking and killing people. Auror Harry Potter requests the help of a liaison from the Beast Division and gets saddled with Draco Malfoy. Will they be able to stop the creature before it claims more lives?
Meet Me at Midnight by @the-starryknight (2022, T, 57k)
Harry was beginning to wonder if he’d ever make anything again when Malfoy stormed through the door of Harry’s furniture shop. Now Harry’s got an impossible Ministry commission to finish, and even less energy than ever to deal with his elusive muse. That is, until he stumbles upon the surreal and beautiful world of a mysterious fae creature…
A Room Up There (And You In It) by @the-starryknight (2020, T, 59k)
When Preservationist Draco Malfoy was assigned to work on Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, he was excited to delve into the gorgeous Black family antiques. His excitement quickly ended when something in the House decided it did not like his presence one bit. Featuring a grumpy antiques lover who most certainly did not sign up for this, encounters with a vengeful apparition, and a healthy application of Christmas spirit.
Monster by @orange-peony (2022, E, 71k)
“Well, it’s still a music box that is not working properly,” Hermione points out with a very intent grin. “That will give you a chance to see him.” She wiggles her eyebrows, making him snort. As if Harry hadn’t thought about it straight away. As if Harry’s mind hadn’t immediately wandered to Draco Malfoy the moment Zabini mentioned a music box.
A Sword Laid Aside by @korlaena (E, 128k)
When Draco’s cover is blown during a deep undercover operation and the Ministry is compromised, Ron takes Draco to the only safe place he can think of—Potter. Hiding out with a taciturn Harry Potter, who has been missing from the Wizarding World for almost two decades after a shocking fall from grace, is nothing like Draco thought it would be.

So I was watching ‘Once More, With Feeling’ earlier and I was paying more attention to stuff that was happening in the background instead of the forefront because I wanted to see the town folk being compelled to sing and dance and what craziness ensued. And I noticed Willow and Tara’s physical distance a lot in the background of the Magic Box.
The absolute contrast between Willow and Tara sitting around the Magic Box table so close together with hands and arms touching to such distance between them when they’re sat around it later after Tara finds out what Willow did to her the episode before… and what had happened earlier in this episode with them…
God the pain. This is what I mean about how there should be no physical intimacy at all between them while Tara is under that spell. Never mind just sex. Because you know Tara wouldn’t consent to it if she had had her memories. The fact Willow took away her autonomy just so she didn’t have to confront Tara’s disapproval of her use and abuse of magic and so she could continue to make love with a compliant Tara who’s emotional state was altered because of the spell… It really is a double-layered rape/sexual assault.
How could anyone do that to someone they claim to love? It’s fucking horrifying. Henious. Absolutely evil.
Especially since Willow knows the life Tara had had before with her abusive relatives. And as Tara mentions when she confronts Willow in ‘Tabula Rasa’ - what Glory did to her. I just don’t understand how Willow could do that to the woman she loves. And we know she loves her. We know she loves her more than anyone. And we also know she wouldn’t like that being done to her either because her own autonomy is incredibly important and she’d regard it as violation if someone just erased her memories about something that made her upset or angry or disappointed too.
It hurts. It really does hurt as a shipper of them and it honestly has to be the most egregious thing you see any of the main protagonists do in the entire show not just because it’s messing with someone’s mind, but because physical intimacy is involved in the meanwhile it’s messed with. I know Whedon did not intend for ‘Under Your Spell’ to be viewed like this but it is unfortunately how it has to be viewed because if we’re understanding the metaphors of magic = sex in Season 4 and magic = drugs in Season 6 then this is drug-induced date rape. The whole arc with them for the episode. Not just the spell. Not just the sex. The whole manipulation of altering or erasing someone’s mental autonomy to ignore, disregard or even take away their bodily autonomy. It’s the fact Tara cannot validly consent to any of it because if she could it would mean that she’d be aware about the deception and she wouldn’t allow any physical intimacy between them until she resolved her fight with Willow. So any physical intimacy or closeness whatsoever is wrong because it’s not something she would be doing if she had her memories and her true emotional state on it. Her autonomy wouldn’t be violated if she was aware about the fight and the way she felt about the fight. It’s because she isn’t aware why her consent to any physical intimacy between her and Willow is invalid.
I swear I feel like I’m the only one who realizes just how bad what Willow does is because my autonomy is very important to me the way it is very important to Willow. If it goes against MY will - then it’s not valid. And if there’s anybody in the whole show who should understand this it’s Willow. So that’s why it’s so bad. Because she wouldn’t allow it to happen to herself and therefore as soon as Tara said that it was a violation, it should have clicked with her. And yet… it just doesn’t.
How can you be so aware of your own will and yet so oblivious of somebody else’s will at the same time? 🫤
I think it goes all the way back to the ‘Will Be Done’ spell in ‘Something Blue’. She never intended to hurt her friends. It was just a mistake what ended up happening to them. But she wasn’t thinking about them when she attempted to have her will be done with magic. She was only ever thinking about herself. She’s a compassionate person but her mentality is “me me me” all the time. She never seems to look at a situation and not see herself and her own views there. And it’s like the more and more powerful she gets, the more selfish and arrogant and entitled she becomes.
And so we get to Season 6 and she’s saying she’s doing all she’s doing with her powerful magic to “help” and to “heal” and to “make things better”. And her intentions may be true with that but what happens doesn’t help or heal or make things better. Just worse. There is such a disconnect with her ideal and with her reality that it just doesn’t click for her at all that what she’s doing is wrong, is bad, is violating, … is evil. And she’s such a fascinating character to unravel all this with because she is a main protagonist. She is a Scooby. She is someone who you should be rooting for. Agreeing with. Condoning the actions of. But - how can you when all it does is just causes chaos?
I’m not saying she doesn’t care about doing the right thing. I’m saying that she doesn’t recognize that it isn’t right even when she can see the destruction it causes. And that is what is just so fascinating to me about her. That she doesn’t see it herself as wrong. How many actual villains start off that way in storytelling? That view their actions and choices as heroism even when it’s hurting and harming others? Even when it’s causing destruction and chaos and devastation? And how many of them see that it is? Before they’re ever the villain in the story… how many characters start off believing that they’re benevolent before they make the switch to “I am the evil villain”?
It really is no wonder why Willow Rosenberg is my favourite character in the entire Buffyverse when I get this much substance and depth out of her character.

intertwining fingers when making love, with Hellboy please? If that’s alright.
Let get it
Rated Explicit (18+ only)
Tumblr media
He rolled against you, hips snug against your own and deeply buried in the warmest parts of you.
Hellboy’s mouth connected with yours, hot and needy as he thrusted into you. A groan found it’s way into your mouth as your nails ran up the sides of his body. The act itself had him heated, groaning with each thrust of his hips. Those lips of his travelled down your chin to your throat and bit down enough to make you squirm.
Your hips raised, enjoying the way Hellboy cupped your breasts and pushed them together between his face. He had to inhale naturally, obsessed with the mix between your sweat and perfume, he could never truly get enough.
A guttural groan was muffled against your soft warm skin as those golden eyes found yours. His teeth sank again on the plushness of your breast, sucking a bruise to the side of your mound. Your hand gripped his biceps, slipping towards his forearm to find his hand. You clasped yours with his left hand just as his lips went in for another breathtaking kiss. He held your hand, privy to his weight falling somewhat more on you but you didn’t seem to care, the pressure was welcomed, he was always welcomed.
Another hard but slow thrust made you whimper and grip his hand, soft little moans against his lips that only seem to push him further, made his insides twist with glee and lust. He stole a brief kiss to the hand he was gripping before he continued to thrust.
You could stay in this moment forever with him.

I can't edit tags on the friendship intimacy poll but:
Sex and kissing aren't like "magical true love" acts. Anyone can do them. I don't think it's weird for people to platonically kiss or cuddle or fuck. It's really up to the people involved and their boundaries/what they want and need.
It's sort of the same as saying "I love you" that's not exclusively a romantic sentiment. I tell my friends I love them all the time because it's true.
Personally, my line between platonic and romantic (ironically) is linked to whether or not I'd sleep with/full on make-out with someone (or whatever equivalent of that) but I've also done kinky stuff with platonic friends and it wasn't weird. So it's complicated?
Like, those acts aren't exclusively special or romantic, there's nothing wrong or weird with platonic forms of that. Social rules are a lie do what you want it doesn't matter. Everyone's different and everyone's comfort levels are different and sometimes sort of contradictory 🤷🏻‍♀️

For what had happened? Nothing, but the touch of flesh on flesh, a kind of groping in the dark, an initiation which, if it was an initiation, might lead nowhere. But it might.
