#there is no monogamous explanation for this

[neptune-scythe]

We as a society do not talk enough about how Kaz Brekker, Dirtyhands himself, the Bastard of the Barrel, carved an entire underground tunnel from his club ... To his besties house

There is no explanation for this other than that he is king softy

Like just imagine how much money that would cost, and how much work. Like sure bro is rich as fuck but like be fr, there is no way he would do all that for crime and gang business, it's just not practical. Like take the surface roads it costs nothing and it's probably not that much slower

Like bro fr just wanted a secret short cut so he could drop in on his babes whenever he wants and never be seen by the masses

Got a reputation to uphold after all

Can't have the pigeons seeing Dirtyhands taking another trip to the Geldstraat to visit his favourite boys

i frequently think "man, i wish this ttrpg campaign between me and my pals was like, a popular actual-play podcast with a sizable fandom. these blorbos are frankly too Good to only be known by like a dozen people max" but also (the perils of being A Famous Creator doing this shit for money/fame rather than for pure fun with your fellow players aside) it's probably for the best cuz a fandom would be so fucking wrong about the characters and i'd have to hold myself back

[raqi-marr]

a bit of HDG lore I'm surprised more people haven't thought about is that affini should absolutely be majority polyam. like, they're evolved from flowers: flowers directly benefit from pollinating/getting pollinated by as many different sources as possible. i sometimes feel like this directly contradicts the possessiveness that affini show off when they do the whole "my floret and only mine" thing, because i think it'd make a lot more sense for them to just be exchanging florets like trading cards and for everyone to be domming everyone else

polyamory update: we are so fucking back

[lesbian-moon-gf]

ooohh ooff h post cancelled, touched the satirists monkey's paw. cancelled oughgh abort missions. do NOT let this breach containment

being ethically monogamous is hard because normie monogs think it's a crime to say someone outside the relationship is hot and poly people think you're straight.

[off-traveling-in-the-stars]

there is no monogamous explanation for whatever the doctor has going on. whatever the doctor has going on with the master is like long term stuff but I think those guys just keep inviting people to their polycule without asking the other and that's why they're so pissed at each other.

[personthattoleratesme]

the way dan gets jealous I doubt they ever seriously considered it (phil also said he doesn't like hook ups)

“When your soulmate comes into your life before you’re done being a ho“ is truly the most accurate explanation of Dan ever. Like that man was born to be a slut but accidentally met his soulmate and the love of his life at 18 and unfortunately he loves him so much that he couldn’t even entertain the idea of having sex with another man. Dan is such a slut in theory and he really wants to pretend that he’s a slut but in reality he’s been in a boring old monogamous relationship for 15 years.

Like Phil was lucky cause he got to have his uni years, he had 4 whole years of adulthood before he met Dan so he was absolutely ready to meet his soulmate by the time Dan came into his life.

I feel like Dan just wanted to shoot his shot with Phil but never thought it would amount to any kind of relationship but then he girlbossed too close to the sun and now they own a house and Phil does his taxes

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Clayton is pretty domestic, and he's definitely the kind of person that wants to settle down. He can cook, but it's questionable how well he actually cooks. He's alright at cleaning, but he's not too tidy or clean. He'd rather spend that time cuddling up with you or just relaxing.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Clayton is generally a pretty gentle person, both physically and emotionally. He can sometimes get a bit too passionate with his physical affection, but he's very careful and soft when he's with you. Emotionally he's the same way, he tries to understand and be supportive when you're having a tough time, and his gentle personality rubs off on you when you're feeling down.

Clayton loves hugs. Loves them. He gives them pretty often, and he's always trying to find an excuse to give you a hug. He gives pretty tight hugs, and he'll often wrap his arms around your waist and bury his head into your neck or shoulder. He sometimes even lifts you off the ground while hugging you, depending on his mood.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Clayton takes his time when it comes to the "L-word." He wants to make sure that he actually feels it before he says it, and he can be pretty cautious about how often he says it. He'll likely wait a few months before he feels comfortable saying it to you, and even then he can be pretty subtle about how often he says it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Clayton is a bit of a jealous person, but he usually keeps it to himself. He can sometimes get a bit possessive, and he'll try to intervene or interfere if he sees you interacting with someone that he perceives as a threat. He does his best to keep his jealousy in check, but it can sometimes get the better of him if he's insecure or feeling threatened.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Clayton's kisses are pretty passionate and heated. He'll often kiss you deeply, and he loves to use his tongue when making out. He loves kissing you all over - your neck, your shoulders, your arms, and your thighs... anywhere that he can get his lips on. He's a bit of a possessive kisser, and he'll bite or nibble your lip every now and then. He loves to pull away and look at you, and he's usually already planning on what to do to you next.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Clayton is generally pretty good with kids. He's more on the playful and relaxed side when he's around them - he'll play with them, make them laugh, and even let them sit on his lap or cling to his arm. He doesn't mind playing the role of a temporary babysitter if needed, and he's also good at dealing with tantrums or fussy kids.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings with Clayton are pretty relaxed and laid back. He's not a morning person, so he likes to sleep in and cuddle with you in bed for as long as possible. Once he's finally up, he'll make coffee for the two of you and bring it back to bed. He'll likely be grumpy and a bit cranky for at least an hour, but he'll eventually start becoming more awake and playful.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Nights with Clayton are pretty comfortable and cozy. He usually likes to wind down and relax in the evenings. He'll often make you dinner, or order in if neither of you feel like cooking. After you've eaten, you'll probably cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie, or play a video game together, or even just chat about your day. When it's time to go to bed, he'll often hold you close while you fall asleep, and he'll make sure to give you plenty of goodnight kisses.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Clayton is usually pretty open and honest with you from the start, but he tends to be more guarded when it comes to talking about his feelings. He'll share plenty of personal things with you right away, like his interests and hobbies, his favorite things, and his past experiences. However, he can take a bit more time in opening up about his deeper feelings and emotions. He's not secretive, but he prefers to process his feelings before talking about them, and he'll usually wait a little while before expressing his vulnerable side.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Clayton is actually pretty patient. It takes a lot to push him over the edge and make him angry. However, he can get pissed off occasionally if he's feeling frustrated or if he's having a bad day. He's usually good at keeping his cool, but when he does get angry, he can be a bit aggressive and confrontational. If he does get angry, it's usually a short-lived reaction, and he usually calms down pretty quickly after he has a minute to cool off.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Clayton is actually surprisingly good at remembering little details. He pays close attention to what you say, even the smallest things, and he'll often bring them up later on in conversation. He remembers your favorite things, important dates, and even the little quirks that you think you may have told him only once or twice. He's very observant and has a sharp memory, so he picks up on a lot of the little things that you say, even if you think he's not paying attention.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

One of Clayton's favorite moments in the relationship would be a quiet day in, when you both just spent the entire day cuddling in bed, watching movies and ordering takeout. There was no pressure to go anywhere or do anything, and the two of you just got to fully relax with each other, without any distractions. It was a simple but peaceful moment, where you both just enjoyed being in each other's company, and Clayton felt completely at ease and content.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Clayton is somewhat protective over you, but not in an overly possessive or controlling way. He'll often keep an eye on you in social settings, especially if there are other men around, and he can sometimes be a little bit territorial.

He just wants to make sure you're safe and comfortable, and he'll often step in if he feels like someone is making you uncomfortable or causing problems. However, he also likes to feel protected too, and he appreciates it when you show concern for him and his well-being.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Clayton puts a lot of effort into dates, anniversaries, and gifts. He wants to make sure that each date and milestone is special and memorable, so he tries to plan thoughtful and creative things for you to do together. He's also pretty good at giving gifts, and he always tries to find something that you'll really enjoy and appreciate. In terms of everyday tasks, he's pretty reliable and dependable, and he'll always pitch in and help you with whatever you need.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

One of Clayton's bad habits is that he can be a bit of a procrastinator, especially when it comes to tasks that he finds boring or tedious. He'll often put things off until the last minute, even if it's important, and he's notorious for leaving things to the last second.

Another bad habit is his stubbornness. Once he gets an idea in his head, he can be really stubborn and refusing to change his mind, despite any reasoning or evidence to the contrary.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks? Do your looks bother them?)

Clayton does care about his appearance, but he's not vain. He takes care of his personal hygiene and tries to look sharp, but he's not overly obsessed with it. He wants to look good for you, but he doesn't spend hours in front of the mirror or nitpick every little imperfection. He doesn't mind if you tease him about his looks, and he even finds it cute when you point out his quirks or flaws.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Clayton would definitely feel incomplete without you. He relies on you for both emotional and physical support, and he feels a sense of emptiness when you're not around. He values your presence and the time you spend together, and he thinks of you as a fundamental part of his life.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Clayton is secretly addicted to horror movies, even though he pretends to be tough and act like they don't bother him. Whenever there's a scary movie night at a friend's place, he'll try to act nonchalant but ends up hiding his face and squeezing your hand whenever things get really gruesome or creepy on screen.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

One thing Clayton wouldn't like in a partner is when they're overly critical or negative. He doesn't have patience for people who constantly complain or criticize things without offering any solutions or alternatives. He's also not a fan of people who are selfish or narcissistic, and he's not interested in someone who's vain or overly concerned with their appearance.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs? Does it change around a partner?)

Clayton is a bit of a cuddler when he sleeps, despite his rather muscular and imposing exterior. He'll often wrap his arms around you and pull you close to him, and he even likes to bury his face into your neck or shoulder while he's asleep. Being around you seems to bring him a sense of comfort and security, and he sleeps more soundly when you're there with him.

[transalangrant]

I am just so absolutely floored at how poly the jurassic park movie actually is, having just rewatched it. the little mr. DNA video scene and the three of them just commenting with each other as if they’ve known each other for years. girl didn’t y’all just meet like this morning. the FUCKING helicopter scene. that was. did ian fucking growl playfully at the two of them or did I imagine this 😭 okay and when with ian’s more overt flirting with ellie in the car… she literally calls alan’s attention to it like alan look at this. what the fuck. why are you inviting your boyfriend to your flirting session with another guy. no monogamous explanation for this. and when she’s digging through the dinosaur shit for the sake of science (autism) and ian and alan just standing there like. “she seems…. tenacious.” and alan just says “you have no idea.” like just throughout the movie or like before everything goes to shit, alan is just really not as put off by ian’s very obvious flirting with his girlfriend. in front of him. as most people would be. my tentative hypothesis: bisexual.

like what is this. what is this picture.

ellie smiling politely while her two boyfriends take up an indecent amount of space in the fruitiest positions I have seen in my life ever. hey they can’t sit straight it’s almost as if they’re uh. not. straight. really though I think it’s funny that laura dern is like actually trying to smile for the promo picture and y’know. sitting down in a sane fashion meanwhile sam neill and jeff goldblum are like: (see figure 1 above.) and literally did someone tell them to do that. was this part of the plan. or did they just do that. what happened here. even the framing of it is poly like what about this does not say Polycule Portrait 1993. I’m crying please it’s just. this can’t be real how I did not notice it before.

also like tumblr won’t let me upload it but please I’m SOBBING here I swear to god ian holds alan’s hand in the jeep for like a full beat. like ??? and people think this movie is just. not queer like I’m sorry the dinosaurs are canonically transgender (but I mean alan and ellie t4t at the start is just so strong also) and ian not only gives the strongest bisexual vibes I have ever perceived in a character but also I know he would engage in genderfuckery at any given opportunity. I would not be surprised if he turned out to be genderqueer in some form either. please I’m about to pass out someone explain how no one talks about any of this ever please

[polyamorousmood]

Hi, I got a question about polyam, can u be polyamorous if u only have one partner?

"Can you be bi if you're only dating a woman and not a man?" "Can you be straight if you're single?"

My answer, in case you can't tell, is yes.

But to offer a little more explanation, this is a matter of some amiable debate. Some people argue polyamory's a thing you do, some people hold it is a fundamental aspect, on the same level that sexual orientation is. The truth is, its both. A neutral, naturally monogamous, or ambiamorous person can be in a polyamorous relationship AND some people (myself included) will only feel satisfied in a relationship where they aren't forbidden from developing feelings from anyone else.

Not everyone who's practicing polyamory would be polyamorous if they only had one... but the vast majority people who consider themselves fundamentally polyamorous will at times be single or with only one partner.

[i-am-the-oyster]

At least once a day I think about how Paul always does mental gymnastics about Yoko. Like, from 1968 until literally now he keeps repeating stuff like "John fell in love," "They were in love so we had to grow apart," and "John had to explain to me they were so in love they couldn't be apart."

And when you stop for a second, it's like... yeah Paul? Why was any explanation needed? Weren’t you also in love around that same time? Like in '68, Paul, you yourself were engaged to one woman and then less than a year later already proposing and making a baby with another (Obviously Paul and Linda were amazing and had that once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, not trying to downplay that at all!).

But the way Paul always acts like John had to personally explain love to him is just weird. Did George need to explain falling for Pattie to justify growing distant and dissatisfied with the rest of them? I seriously doubt it.

Idk, it's just so weird.

Yeah, I know what you mean anon.

(Bear with me, I am getting to the point).

My understanding of John and Paul’s relationship is constantly shifting (there’s just so much seemingly contradictory information!) but at the moment I’m leaning towards a gay panic model:

They had an acknowledged, established relationship that wasn’t monogamous but was committed. They discussed and understood it way more clearly than is generally assumed. In the late sixties, as the optimism of the summer of love waned, they started to fear that homosexuality was sinful and would attract instant karma like dying alone (Brian) or at the hand of your lover (Joe Orton).

Let’s find our true loves, get married!

If this whole thing was clearer in Paul’s mind than John’s, or Paul’s idea altogether, then maybe Paul needs to believe that John really did love Yoko so much that he *had* to wipe the slate clean (specifically of Paul). Otherwise the appalling vista is that Paul pushed John into her arms when she wasn’t what John wanted or needed.

Couldn’t I have given you a better life?

Welcome to my ted talk, it’s miserable here.

[stxrryskys]

something I'm cooking up‼️

Me eeee ow

Fuck boy ino! 👅

You can't believe he convinced you to go to some dumb party. Honestly! He comes back to town after completely ghosting you for months and just decides to invite you to a party.. You didn't even have the right to be upset. You guys weren't even dating! He claimed he wasn't ready to.. Be monogamous? You didn't really know but you knew you couldn't say no to him, you mean- hell he's already met your cats! That has to mean something!

You pulled up to the address and you could hear the loud music from down the street. You were supposed it hasn't gotten shut down yet, you opened the door because you felt like it was silly to knock at a party, and, you were greeted with the man who invited you making out with another girl. You didn't have the right to be mad, he wasn't yours anyways, it just pissed you off, you shoved past him to make your presence known and immediately went straight to the kitchen to get a drink

The moment he noticed you he adjusted his beanie and had a big goofy smile on his face when he noticed you

"Hey!! Hey!! Hey-" he got the sense you were ignoring him when be tapped your shoulder and you just continued to drink whatever it is you had, but then he had grabbed your shoulders and forced you to face him

"What's your problem? "

"Problem? I have no problem" you set your drink down and crosses your arms

"Oh? Then why have you been mc frowny pants ever since-"

"I am not being a " mc frowny pants! " you're just annoying! " you cut him off, his stupid nicknames for you pissed you off even more

"Uh huh.. " he grabbed you by the waist and leaned in to kiss you but you dodged his kiss

"What the-

"I'm not going to be doing this. Especially at a party. Not until- " you felt your voice breaking "-not until you tell me where you've been"

He took you guys to a room upstairs to escape the loud music as he explained to you where he was. Once he put his explanation out there he waisted no time trying to touch you

"Ino-" you broke the kiss he brought you in for and spoke lowly "I.. I don't want to do this if you're just gonna leave me again.. "

"Baby.. I'm sorry I didn't text you but.. The whole time, and I mean the WHOLE time, I just wanted to one girl.. My favorite girl" he out his hand up to touch your cheek and leaned in to kiss you again. It caught you off guard but it's the one thing you wanted in the moment so you kissed back

IT'S NOT DONE YET! I KNOW BOO TOMATO TOMATO BUT I'VE BEEN BUSY, I'VE GOT A PLAY COMING UP AND I'VE HAD SO MUCH KISSING WORK FROM WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL BUT I WILL GET THIS OUT SOON!!
