#romantic relationships

[hood-ex]

I don’t know how I feel about when I see that Dick shouldn’t rekindle old romances (like Kory or Bea or etc.) because he is with Barbara Gordon now and they keep messing up his character so he needs to stay with this one or be single. Like I would be all for single Dick but the idea that Barbara is solving the problem instead of actually being the problem is weird. Not only is this about Dick but Barbara is also losing here too and Dick isn’t the only one who is going through character assassination.

Imo, it's a wack take that Dick and Babs should stay together just because Dick needs to bolster his image as a committed guy/non-womanizer. Or whatever their reason is for saying that.

See I'll be selfish and say I want them to break up. And I'm not big on Dick and romance, so rekindling old romances, maintaining his current romance, or having new romances is like... nah. I would genuinely be content if Dick remained single and all of his relationships were family or friend based. I'll ride for platonic love harder than anything else.

Masterpost | Feel free to make a request | Intuition.

Pile 01.

01 — Physical touch, and acts of service are their top love languages. So, there's absolutely no doubt that this person is quite considerate in different ways, as well as physically affectionate.

02 — Furthermore, they like being helpful. They find peace in helping those around them in whatever ways they can, willingly. It's their second nature, but they aren't someone that can be taken advantage of! For most of the people within this pile, this person has a backbone.

03 — They love holding hands, cuddling, or even light touches. Whatever you're comfortable with! Although their love language is physical touch, they won't push it if you're uncomfortable with it. Even holding hands occasionally instead of often is fine, as long as they know you love them by showing it in your own way!

04 — Drinks coffee often, and likes macchiato specifically.

05 — They have a large family or a lot of people they consider family, blood-related or not. But, they spend time with their grandparents often or the elderly.

06 — Smokes, but is trying to quit. Started, but realized it wasn’t something they wanted to keep constant in their life after some time passed.

07 — Parties with friends here and there, but doesn't mind stopping whenever they're in a relationship. They understand that it's not something everyone is uncomfortable with! Of course, they'll still hang out with friends, but won't head to large parties with people you're uncomfortable with, etc. Whatever it is, they or you will likely bring it up so you guys can communicate about it.

03 — Hard shell, soft nature. In other words, they might seem intimidating at first glance, but is actually a sweetheart once you get to know them.

04 — Polite, respectful towards everyone. They don't see the point of treating strangers they don't know the story of with disrespect or rude remarks, it's a waste of time.

They don't typically react if something negative happens to them though, a result from how they were brought up or the experiences they went through.

05 — Doesn't bear grudges, but can set down boundaries when absolutely necessary. Doesn't hesitate cutting unhealthy and toxic people out of their life, especially after certain encounters in their past.

06 — They like cooking, and/or baking especially. It's something they find relaxing, and they get quite happy when seeing someone enjoy what they made.

08 — Has some ear piercings, and might have one small tattoo or an eyebrow piercing for some people within this pile.

09 — Communicative, wants to work through issues and find a solution together when there's a problem instead of being angry at each other.

No, but the Hunger Games did need the romance plotline. See, Snow got it all wrong for the cause of the districts' rebellion. He thought an act of love is entirely separate and different from an act of rebellion, that the two are mutually exclusive. But we saw even in Katniss' though process that the two are mixed. And for the districts, the two are the same thing. For seventy-four years they've been forced to watch their children, grandchildren, siblings, niblings, friends die in the Games or through exploitation, are told it's an honour for them to die for the Capitol and are not allowed to grieve. And then suddenly this girl comes up and plants her feet and says 'no'. She survives through illegal hunting, avoiding the miserable death via starvation or the terrible community home. She doesn't stand by to watch her sister die, she volunteers. She doesn't treat her friend's death as one of a tribute to the Capitol, but as the horrible killing of an innocent little girl who deserves to be memorialized. She thanks and humanizes another district's people. She gives another tribute a merciful death. She refuses to give up on the man she loves, repeatedly. Defying all sense and establishment.

That is rebellion, for the Districts. Love, loyalty, grief, kindness, mercy - they're all rebellious sentiments.

And romantic love is an integral part of that. Not the be all end all, but an intrinsic part. We see sisterhood with Prim, we see friendship with Rue and Finnick and Johanna (and Gale and Madge a little bit), we see mentorship and connection with Haymitch and Boggs, so of course we need the romantic angle with Peeta. Of course we need the dandelion that grows after the war, the dandelion that started it all through one act of kindness to the starving girl he loves.

◉ Sinopsis; your partners give you a massage when you flop onto the couch

◉ feat; Fizzmodeus x reader

___˙•˚∘✮🌙ᯓ🪐˙•˚∘___

It's one of those days where you just need to collapse somewhere comfortable and block out the whole world. So that's what you do. After walking through the front door to Asmodeus' home (though it's more accurate to call it a palace), you beeline to the couch, dropping your bag and kicking off your shoes on the way. You throw yourself onto the couch, the soft cushions catching your fall. The fabric is cool against your face, and the couch itself is so large, that it's practically a bed- perfect to spread out on. It's not too long after when Fizzarolli and Asmodeus get back from Ozzie's club. By this time though, you're half asleep, sprawled out on the couch. The two stop for a moment, worried something bad has happened, but they quickly realize you're just exhausted. Luckily for you, they know the perfect remedy to a long, painstaking day- massages! Laughter echoes vaguely through your tired brain, and you can just barely register the way the cushions give- a sign Asmodeus and Fizz have joined you. The next thing you notice is a pair of hands working the knots in your back and shoulders. Fizzarolli straddles your legs, working intently on relieving the stress in your back. Behind him, Asmodeus sits criss-cross, focusing on Fizz's shoulders. You're too tired to get up, but the tired, grateful glance you cast Fizz and Ozzie is more than enough for them to know how much this is helping. You may have been half-asleep before, but now with the tension slowly easing out of your shoulders and the soft noise of Fizz and Asmodeus' voices makes it damn near impossible to fight the powerful force known as sleep. Soon enough, your conscious is drifting elsewhere, while Fizzarolli and Asmodeus wish you sweet dreams.

Alastor, being the gentleman he is, mainly shows his form of affection towards you in the form of complements and random acts of service, usually not being a fan of PDA. He makes sure to give you compliments no matter what the two of you are doing. It can either be when you're helping around the hotel or just in general, always making sure to have a keen eye on you.

It doesn't matter if it's getting something from onto of a shelf or just needing help with something. Alastor is literally always there to help you with whatever you need, keeping one of his shadows on you. Though, the charming devil makes sure to think that this is his way of.. claiming you, marking his territory, even. You know, with being a powerful, sadistic overlord and such.

Expect gifts galore with Lucifer, especially duck shaped ones. That stash of ducks can't just be for himself, right? He even gets you a small plush version of him as a duck, with him having the duck version of you. Brushing the duck themed gifts, I could see him showing affection by physical touch. This could either be through hugs or kisses.

This man will literally wrap those big ol' wings around you, could literally be in the middle of the street, and begin to talk about how much he loves you. Being honest, he doesn't know if his need for physical contact had gotten stronger due to the fact his wife left or what. Possibly even putting his depression at fault... Welp, He still has you and his daughter !

As silly as it sounds to him, Vox really has a thing for spending time with you. He doesn't know if it's because he's usually busy or if it's the feeling of having someone you love near you. Unsurprisingly, Vox makes sure to make your relationship completely public, literally not giving a damn about it either. He will have you have you wrapped around his finger with a blue bow if he really wanted to.

( Don't forget to put ' VoxTech ™ ' on it )

He does make sure to give you a lot of compliments both on and off air, mainly about your appearance, possibly even teasing you while at it. Unlike Lucifer, Vox gives you gifts that are more to your liking. They are definitely more - bougie than what you are used to, even going as far to get gem - bedazzled versions of your usual necessities. Who knows, maybe the TV demon has a little thing for spoiling you.

Avatar in my head and I was thinking about Maiko and Mai.

Now, Mai's character arc in Avatar, from my interpretation, is rediscovering herself and her wants and personhood that has been stripped from her as a noblewoman part of a family that submitted to the Fire Nation Imperialist structure and Ozai. We see in Book 2 set up for this. Mai in early Book 2 does not resist Azula's will aside from brief sparks of rebellion where she isn't present. "Of course not, Princess Azula" she notes formally and apathetically when Azula asks if she "minds", knowing she has no choice as Azula 'just' ponders if Mai's hostage brother is worth an Earth King like Bumi. Mai is always aware that Azula, as Princess in an authoritarian nation where the Fire Lord is God, can have her executed and her family punished. The unequal power dynamic is surprisingly consistent in the show.

Mai can't even insult Azula back in Zuko Alone as a child. She just lets Azula put an apple on her head (as Ty Lee loyally sniggers along), set it on fire, and when Zuko pushes her into the fountain to put it out, Mai, drenched, glares and says "You two are such… ugh". We know Mai can have an acid tongue, yet her fear of Azula prevents her from using it. Her most rebellious act in Book 2 is when she says "She can shoot all the lightning she wants at me. I am not getting in that wall sludge juice". Mai actually has self-respect, but she can't express it in the presence of greater threats, meanwhile Ty Lee merely says "Come on! Azula said we have to follow them", because Ty Lee follows Azula's will even when she isn't there.

Even when Mai gets with Zuko, she falls into a subservient role. When Azula interrupts Maiko's smooching, lazily dismissing Mai with "Oh Mai, Ty Lee needs help untangling her braid" Mai responds quickly "Sounds pretty serious" with only a touch of dryness and leaves, only able to muster throwing Azula a dirty look a split second after passing her. However, this little ember of rebellion will grow.

Mai has continued difficulty understanding Zuko's anger and reactiveness, or how to even function in a relationship. She initially tries to joke in a dismissive fashion, as if saying 'ugh, feelings are lame, right?', but that would only work with Azula logically. The Beach episode is a key Mai episode. She continues to be emotionally repressed, to the point Zuko, Ty Lee and Azula comment on it. However, Zuko's insecurity at her talking to Ruon-Jian to the point he physically removes him from her presence, and his accusative comments like "You like him, don't you?", also makes Mai feel a little boxed in, controlled, and that does irritated her given her history. However, at the Beach's emotional narrative climax, Mai is able to finally express herself at the rest of the group (Azula included) for the first time, telling them to "Leave her alone" and that she's "still mad". After Zuko explosively reveals the extent of his pain and confusion, we see a 'smoothing' effect on her attitude. She realises her and Zuko are dealing with pain in different ways and his way is understandable.

Mai says softly, "I know one thing I care about, I care about you". This is the one thing Mai can grasp in the confusion. This is where Mai betraying Azula becomes inevitable. We see Mai continue to be more supportive with Zuko, more actively trying to cheer him up in Nightmares and Daydreams with big smiles and jokes while Zuko remains shut down over the War meeting and is acting irritated and repressed due to his family trauma. When Zuko later leaves and joins the Avatar, Mai is hurt and angry, which shows in the Boiling Rock, saying "All I get is a letter? You could have at least looked me in the eye when you ripped out my heart". They have a tense conversation, but it's their most honest one. I actually think Mai already made up her mind in this scene to support Zuko over Azula, and she doesn't quite realise it. "Save it? You're betraying your country" she accuses, to which Zuko replies, resolute, "That's not how I see it", and in response Mai just folds her arms and turns her head away in an almost defeat.

I find it very telling she doesn't respond. It's because she realises Zuko is more passionate and resolute about his mission than she is hers. It's because she knows the Fire Nation under its current authority is not exactly great. Sometimes in life we fall into a box and we need someone to give us that little push so we can realise we can climb out of it, that the toxic space we're in isn't normal, and we don't have to tolerate it. I like to think Mai was thinking in that moment where Zuko locked her in the cell and he and she gazed into each others' eyes, what she was really thinking about was what life she actually wanted to live. She was thinking of Azula and being under her thumb, and she was thinking of all those moments with Zuko, like when they were lounging on the sofa together, smiling and joking in Nightmares & Daydreams, and she realised how ridiculous it was to be afraid of Azula killing her when the real fear should be being Azula's servant until her dying days, decades of repression and misery.

After all, what does Mai have left to fight for? Fear of Azula? Hah, what a joke. She remembers "I know one thing I care about. I care about you" and when she sees Zuko about to die she has to intervene.

"I guess you just don't know people as well as you think you do. You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you" Mai says to an increasingly-enraged Azula's speak of 'consequences', because Mai did fear Azula, but now in her love for Zuko she has found a purpose she has been lacking, her feelings and wants over Azula's will. Zuko being true to himself is contagious. Iroh's love for Zuko puts him on the right path, and in turn the love Mai has for Zuko saves her. As a consequence Ty Lee chooses Mai and their friendship over Azula's toxic, fear-based one and even later bonds with former enemies like the Kyoshi Warriors. Like Zuko says to Ozai, "an era of peace and kindness" will replace an "era of fear". In the face of fear, love and empathy win.

What kind of lover do you think L would be?

I AM GLAD YOU ASKED

Wouldn’t date you if Watari didn’t like you.

This man love you more than anything else. You are his escape because you just exist, not demanding anything from him. Only asking, politely, for love.

He adores your cooking (especially your baking)

He can cook for shit but he tries

Refuses to watch or listen to you on cameras because he respects your privacy and trusts you.

Buys you things he sees you add to your online cart

when he isn’t working (which is rare) he can be found in your living room, watching Jeopardy (RIP Alex Trebek.) waiting for you to come join him

likes Rom Coms because of the predictable outcome

Execpt the Notebook. He didn’t see that particular ending being the one they chose. It was only a 3% chance they would go with the one they did.

most of your dates are at your or his house. But when you do go out out: he spoils you.

just in general he spoils you. Seriously you have not paid (fully) for one of your dates. Ever. (He mainly spoils you because he feels so absent no matter how much you reassure him that you understand the circumstances and love him anyway)

you love being around him. Something he honestly thought wouldn’t ever hall for him.

when you do somehow convince this man to sleep. He sleeps next you. So next to you that you wonder if he’s glued to you.

L has three sleeping positions with you:

pressed into your side

Him laying on top of you.

His back against the headboard, hands in your hair. Think of a hat. He goes Hat Mode.

You’re just happy he’s sleeping and none of the positions bother you.

It took him months to kiss you on the lips; before that it was hand kisses and kisses to your temple.

You were actually the one to instigate the first kiss

Now the poor man is hooked.

if you leave his work area without giving him a kiss, he acts as if he’s caught the plague and gets sad. Or as sad as L can get. Which translates into picking at his desserts slowly.

I don’t see him as particularly jealous, more protective. He honestly has to be with you due to his line of work.

Everyone he knows, after they meet you, knows that you two are a thing due to the kisses and his eyes following you around.

I personally think he’s in for the long run after you don’t go anywhere after a year or two: Marriage. Or if you don’t believe in marriage, filing together on tax forms.

Dude, you have got to be seriously fucking dense to think Interview With The Vampire wasn't always gay as fuck. It's literally about two dudes that love sucking on body parts living alone and adopting a kid together. That is not a subtle metaphor.

Thoughts and Feelings of Your EX about U

Pick a picture 1 - 2 - 3 -Short reading-

PILE 1

Hello, darling. I hope you are doing amazing! So, your ex may think that you are intelligent, thoughtful and independent. They may see you as a person who is sharp-witted, perceptive and cold hearted. It looks like you are emotionally guarded or distant. You have solid boundaries. Seems like no contact situation or you broke their heart. There may be some unresolved issues between you tho. They remember what you shared and how special you are (yes! sure!) and your relationship was. They may feel an urge to return to you. They even may manifest you back. There is possibility that they will reach out soon. Personal readings are available!

PILE 2

Hello, sugar. I hope you are doing wonderful. Well, your ex may see you as a person who puts in consistent effort and hard work towards your goals. They may admire your dedication, patience and willingness to invest time and energy into various aspects of your life. Your ex may be reflecting on the progress you've made or the outcomes of your efforts together. There may be a sense of introspection regarding your relationship and its impact on both of your lives. They’ve spent time thinking about you and they’ve realized that there is so much that you’ve shared together. Your history means a lot to them. They are able to be truly comfortable around you. However, it's time to move on. There is a minimal chance of reconciliation. Personal readings are available!

PILE 3

Hello, sunshine. I hope you are doing amazing. So, they perceive you as someone who is adaptable and resilient. You may influenced them significantly (or vice versa), brought unexpected change. You are remarcable and unpredicatable. They may think that your relationships were destined to be. I hope you both learned your lessons. Also one day they may think positively about you and another day the opposite such a cold and hot energy. They may feel like you mean the world to them. They aren't over your relationship. They may believe that you represent total emotional fulfillment for them. Reconciliation is possible (they may manifest you back). It all depends on you.

Personal readings are available!

[unknownfacelessfanfictions]

My greatest wish is for a story about a very healthy romantic relationship between a sex-repulsed asexual (Person A) and a non-ace person (Person B)

A realtionship that isn't about " Person A realises that they like sex after all" and not "Person B loves Person A despite them being ace" but rather a relationship that is "Person A does not like sex or overly sexual stuff and Person B is totally fine with it and respectful and Netflix and chill really is just Netflix and chill" and "Person B loves Person A because of them being ace because it's a part of their identity and Person B loves everything about Person A"

Because nowadays people forget that sex does not equal romance and love.

A lot of asexual people just want a soft and nice romantic relationship without constantly getting the feeling of being broken.

We need more ace positivity!!

NOT MY GIF

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

( Disclaimer: I do not mean to exclude aroace people. You are valid, you are seen. However this is at the moment just about ace people, because they exist too and it's important to show, that asexual does not equal aromantic. It often goes hand in hand, but not always)

[juthemagicalclown]

i think we as whole have a huge problem with the misuse of the word 'platonic'

'platonic' is not a synonym for 'friendship' or 'deep friendship', platonic' and 'romantic' are not mutually exclusive

'platonic' means non-sexual, which means a relationship could be romantic and platonic

love is much more nuanced than you make it to be

[def-not-kaz-brekker]

do you ever think about how people always put romantic relationships over platonic as if they’re more important? do you ever think about how friends are going to get pushed aside in the preference of a romantic partner? do you ever think about the people who don’t want romantic relationships who are just alone even if they don’t want to be because their friends are in romantic relationships?

could we like… not have that and change that because it fucking sucks and it excludes aromantic people and it’s not fucking fair to us

Aquarium Trip!

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

A/n- guess who's going to the MOTHERFUCKING AQUARIUM BITCHES WOOOO

Contents; romantic relationships, undersea animals, swearing

Feat; Stolas, Blitzø, Loona, Fizzarolli

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Being at the Aquarium with them is a dream. The dark hallways, the lights reflecting against the water of the tanks- it creates such a romantic ambiance.

Stolas is a hopeless romantic. Not only does he get to learn about animals, environmentalism, and the ocean- he gets to learn these things with you. The whole time, Stolas is holding your hand, stopping at every display, and reading all of the information for each exhibit. Cue the cute owl noises. Stolas would love to take some time to sit with you in front of an exhibit, sharing kisses, holding hands, and (of course) him telling you about all the new things he's learned! I think he'd love the touch pools, especially for the stingrays. He probably freaks out a bit at first, but his excitability overrules any hesitation. don't even get him started on the gift shop. Stolas freaks out over every book he sees. Gets the two of you matching shirts because he's a sucker for that kinda shit. Stolas loves taking pictures with you, too! With the jellyfish, cute crabs, the seals you see in the bay, the stingrays, everything. And, in my opinion, he would love ocean puns. You're taking facts and making them funny? He's so in love.

As much as it pains me to say it, Blitzø probably isn't a fan at first. To be honest, the only reason he came was because you said there were seahorses. He was pissed when they weren't actual horses. While Blitzø is kinda grumpy for a bit, he can't deny how cool everything looks- and how happy you are. Most of the time, he's not looking at the exhibits, but at you- appreciating your joy and excitement. Blitzø has never been one for learning "fun facts" or anything, but if you ramble on about the ocean, he'll hang on to every word. Of course, he probably won't outwardly show you too much affection, but there are times when Blitzø goes to reach for your hand, or scoots closer to you when you're sitting at an exhibit. If he had to choose a favorite section, it's the deep sea. he does quite enjoy the freaky animals. He isn't super excitable, but can't help a small smile whenever he sees how much you're enjoying everything. At the gift shop, he'll watch to see what you like the most and will sneakily buy it for you.

Not sure if Loona would be thrilled about the aquarium, but if she's going with you, she doesn't have any objections! I think she would be fascinated by the Jellyfish and open ocean exhibits. The color and size of the animals like the hammerhead sharks or sea nettles is just so mesmerizing. Loona wants to take pictures, but isn't used to the low light, so it's a bit frustrating. Hopefully you've got some photos to share with her. It's a requirement that y'all model and pose for pictures. Aesthetics are everything!! And Loona wants a new home screen. She would love being able to take a picture with the sharks or jellyfish with you. Tbh, I think Loona would be freaked out by crustaceans. Dunno why, I just think she doesn't like them. She also doesn't participate in the touch pools because of how many kids there are. In the giftshop, she probably doesn't get much for herself (but she does like some of the sweatshirts and jewelry).

Fizzarolli will not. Stop. Making. Ocean puns. It is constant, but hey, at least he's funny and creative. Fizz would probably love the aquarium, especially the otters and octopuses. Otters because..Adorable, obviously. Personal HC of him liking Octopuses comes from how they can be misunderstood, and how intelligent and versatile they are. There's also some relatability with the arms if you squint. I think the octopus would make him feel more secure with himself, you know? Whenever y'all are sat while watching a feeding or display, Fizz is snuggling as close as possible, arms wrapped around you, head on your shoulder. I would argue that one of the most romantic spots in an aquarium is the dark jellyfish exhibits. Fizz gets a selfie of him kissing you on the cheek or y'all with your arms around each other in front of the moon jellies. And boom- new lockscreen acquired. Dude goes absolutely bonkers in the giftshop. He loves everything. The notebooks, shirts, pins, jewelry, bags- all of it. You'll have to reign him in if you don't wanna deal with crippling debt. He ends up deciding on a cozy jacket and matching plushies for the two of you.

Aquarium dates are the best way to nerd out with your partner(s) 💛
