I've been reading Relationality by David Jay. The book talks about building relationships of all different kinds. Thank you to that one Asexual who recommended that book. Genuinely the ideas in there are the antidote to all alienation - personal and political.

I also keep wanting to connect the ideas in that book by an asexual author to the themes of relationship in Arcane - a show that has a lot of its themes centred around an Asexual character.

If there are any Arcane fans who've read this book please message me!

I genuinely think the connection between asexuality and Arcane goes deeper and is not surface level.

[…] “knowing the other in the biblical sense” is to engage with the point in the Other where knowledge is lacking. And from the religious perspective, this lack of knowledge in the Other (missing signifier of the sexual relation) is no small matter. Hence the shame. The sight of naked bodies is not “shameful” because of these bodies as such, but because of what these naked bodies fail to convey, namely, the sexual relation.

Alenka Zupančič, from What Is Sex?

relationality — connectedness; a view of the world that underlines how no person or thing exists in isolation, because existence necessarily means being "in relationship"

growing up means realizing that a relationship requires work from both sides equally.

Maturing is realizing that when the other is not willing to do the work, it is time to go. And to let go. And to do the work for your soul and the peace of your heart in the first place.

I’m currently stuck on these two panels

From mission 68 and 86, respectively.

I don’t really have my thoughts together on this, but something about trust, and vulnerability, and that being taken care of also leads to a yearning to caretake in turn —

That there is something particular about the dynamic, in adulthood, especially with these two who are self-sufficient and also haven’t experienced this before. That choice to turn oneself over, to choose trust and to choose vulnerability, and to choose to be worthy of the other’s trust and vulnerability — even taking (or maybe even because of) the incumbent complications of their situation.

small tj x dieter headcanon because why not?

at least for me, tj loves cuddling in dieter's body, it's like he finds security in him and if dieter is sitting or lying down in his really cool cars bed then tj it's going to cuddle on his huge male boo- i mean, his chests

.

.

oh, and also if tj it's in his "cuddling against dieter" mode then he will ignore all the world, because dieter it's more important in these moments

the fact that kenjaku singles out the way that yuta copies techniques without conditions as a reason to be unimpressed...what does it mean what does it all mean
