#queerplatonic samfro

[ravenofrevenge]

this can apply to fanfics too btw. imagine you've got characters in a platonic or a queerplatonic relationship and you want to show physical affection between them but you can't write smut for them because you don't think the characters would want to have sex with eachother... that's where queerplatonic foreplay comes in. And if you've written lots of slash fics before then this could be a really fun new concept to explore in your writing.

oh and for those who don't know, a queerplatonic relationship (qpr) is basically a platonic relationship that may look like a romantic one from an outside perspective (because the people in the relationship express their platonic love by doing actions that society usually views as romantic such as picnic dates, kissing, buying flowers for eachother and so on). it's also important to note that the acts that look romantic in the relationship will differ depending on the qpr and what the people in one are comfortable. for example, one qpr might be comfortable with kissing while a different qpr isn't because qprs can all look different depending on who is in them and what they like to do.

another fun thing about writing qprs is that you get to explore how differently a qpr looks for your favourite characters and how they would act in one compared to other characters. its just another interesting way to explore intimacy

but yeah, if you're a writer, this could be a fun concept to explore in your fics (if you write one, reply with the link for everyone)

vash and wolfwood have a kinda sam and frodo flavor to them. no matter how you prefer to think of their relationship to one another, romantic or platonic or both or maybe something else, there is a love there. binding them together

I love that Kagehina has the same(ish) duality among the shippers that samfro has

I see a post explaining how op only ships them in a queerplatonic way, because there's nothing wrong with shipping them romantically but as an aspex person they just don't see it and find it more comforting and relatable this way

And then I scroll down and see another post saying how much they should just make out or smth

love male characters whose actions and motivations can only be explained by their insatiable lust or yearning for another man

(poor aragorn is poly af and has crushes on every single one of his friends)

-

Merry: aroace and makes fun of everyone else for having feelings, plus in a queerplatonic relationship w pippin

Pippin: an awful flirt who never takes anyone or anything seriously

Legolas and gimli: *belligerent flirting*

Frodo and Sam: *in love and in denial about it*

Boromir: straight

Aragorn: *crushing on all of them*

Aragorn: *looks at gandalf*

Gandalf: sorry I am a retired daddy and no longer accept applications to be my baby boy

Aragorn:

Aragorn:

Aragorn: Arwen---

Arwen: that sounds very difficult. i feel for you. by the way, thanks for agreeing to be my beard.

-

Aragorn: I am here for all of you. If u need anything, just ask 

Every single one of the oblivious pining idiots in the fellowship: Aragorn I'm so in love I just wanna hold their hand

Aragorn: ...Want to hold my hand in the meantime,,

They all come to aragorn to gush about their crushes bc Aragorn totally understands why they're crushing. And then Aragorn encourages them by telling them why they, in turn, are lovable and have a chance...thereby matchmaking all of his crushes with each other LMAO

Sam: I just want to kiss him. he's so beautiful

Aragorn: I understand. He really is.

Sam: and kind and brave and smart and wonderful

Aragorn: ... yeah...

Sam: and I'm just plain old Samwise gamgee

Aragorn: don't say that. ur brave and loyal and have a stout heart. Anyone would be lucky to have u

Sam, sniffling: thanks strider

Aragorn: *dying bc he likes both of them* 

-

And on the other front

Gimli: how do I prove once and for all that I am superior to pointy ears over there

Aragorn: ...assert dominance by kissing him

Gimli: what

Aragorn: ...shall I show u how
