My name's Kat. My pronouns are kat/kats, they/them, it/its. You can read up more about me specifically over on my main blog, @queerkat. It's a space for my personal self-exploration as I figure out who I am and recognizing myself as therian/otherkin, along with everything that entails.
Read more on my about page or under the cut.
F/Os
My primary fictional other for over 10 years has been Shikamaru Nara from Naruto/Boruto. I would consider the relationship to be queerplatonic, romantic-ish in nature. I'm acearo, and my connection with him actually helped me realize a lot of aspects about my identity and made them easier to accept and embrace.
My second most prominent fictional other is Shouta Aizawa from My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia). I would, again, consider this relationship queerplatonic, romantic-ish. I ran a blog a short while ago over at @askahero with my OC, Karma, at the front. There's plenty of ship content over there that I'll probably reshare over here, lol.
I have some other queerplatonic/romantic-ish F/Os, but I don't know that I'm ready to go into detail about those connections yet.
I consider Castiel (Supernatural), Choji (Naruto/Boruto), Taishiro Toyomitsu (MHA), Yagi Toshinori (MHA), Hizashi Yamada (MHA), and Inuyasha (Inuyasha) to be platonic F/Os that I care about immensely, likely due to the fact I grew up with them. I guess they're kind of like childhood friends.
Boundaries
Update 11/11/21: I just realized while working on this blog that I don’t really feel comfortable doing self ship/reader insert content with characters portrayed in real life (like Castiel and the 10th Doctor), so that was cool to learn and now I can share that with y'all!
Personally, I've never been a fan of trying to "claim" any character. It's always made me uncomfortable. Earlier indicator that I might be non-monogamous and uncomfortable with dating culture when I got older - and here we are! TLDR: I'm fine with people who share the same connections as I do with these characters interacting. c:
That said, I'm totally down to talk about how rad these characters are and how rad the ones you like specifically are, so on and so forth. I'm not personally comfortable with sexualizing them in conversations or writing about them in explicit situations myself to share with others. I could do that for other characters that I don't have strong connections to, but not my F/Os.
I’m also cool with some light-hearted (SFW) roleplaying, receiving asks from F/Os (to me), fan art of my OCs (though not of me, specifically, unless otherwise mentioned), and might do some requests for messages from y’all’s F/Os (to you!), including mutual F/Os. I actually feel like I’d be more prepared for properly conveying characters I know super well, hehe. If you’re interested in any of that, feel free to drop something in my ask box and I’ll see what I can do! I’m always down to try anything (within reason and comfort levels) once, so if it turns out it’s not my cup of tea, I’ll be sure to update this info. :>
I think that's everything for now, but I'll update this if anything else comes to mind! Enjoy your stay! <3
Wear whatever you want! Your f/o will always think you look perfectly beautiful, no matter if you're wearing a fancy and formal outfit, or that one extra comfy shirt that's full of holes.
Speak your mind, at whichever volume feels right! Your f/o loves it when you get excited, your voice will never be too loud for them! And if your voice is more on the quiet side, they still make sure you're heard and engaged.
There's no need to mask or pretend to feel differently than you truly do! Your f/o knows that all your emotions are valid, and you're always safe to express yourself around them! Be happy, angry, sad, and they'll love you through it all, always.
There's no need to mask or pretend to feel differently than you truly do! Your f/o knows that all your emotions are valid, and you're always safe to express yourself around them! Be happy, angry, sad, and they'll love you through it all, always.
You don't have to put way too much effort into your appearance! You are always a work of art to your f/o, no matter if you have makeup on, if your hair is done or if you're wearing perfume/cologne; to them you're always at your most beautiful.
Eat whenever and as much/little as you'd like! Your f/o would never make negative comments on your body or eating habits. If you can't have all of your meal at once, they'll store it for when you're hungry again; if you'd like more food when you're done, they'll get started on seconds.
Talk about what's on your mind! From a cool bug you saw to deep and philosophical conversations, your f/o loves engaging with your mind! They could spend hours chatting with you without ever getting bored or upset, you mesmerize them.
Engage in your hobbies! Your f/o will always be your biggest fan and supporter, if it brings you joy then they're happy to stay by your side as you play/work/build/etc! They're amazed at your skill and knowledge.
Rest and work in whatever ways work best for you! It's okay to not always be productive, your f/o is proud of you for the smallest and biggest accomplishments! They'll help you remember to take things one step at a time, at your own pace.
Your f/o loves you for you, as you are! There's no need to act differently or hide yourself from them. Everything they get to learn about you just makes them love and adore you more and more each day.
Imagine you smushing your f/o’s cheeks together so their face puffs up like lil a fish, and biting their shoulder and neck with pure cuteness aggression while they just sit there and let you go crazy.
f / o who gets incredibly flustered by sudden , casual physical affection in private ( like a surprise kiss on the cheek or a hug from behind ) . . .
they stumble over their words , adjust their glasses if they have any , and try to give you a stern lecture on ' decorum ' while their entire face is bright red.
imagine your f/o poking fun at you for having a crush on them until you say something beautiful and true that takes them aback and they cover their mouth blushing furiously
Shikamaru let out a languid, tired breath, resting his chin against his knuckles, gaze focused intently on the worn surface of the shogi board. He tapped his pointer against his cheek. It was late; the sun was beginning to dip, casting long, golden-orange streaks across the polished wooden floor of the room, turning the shadow of the window screens into a lattice-work pattern on the matting.
Opposite him, his opponent had been pondering for the better part of twenty minutes. Shikamaru wasn't sure if the silence was because they were genuinely stumped or simply that they committed to a bad strategy. He didn't really care. His mind was already three moves deep, watching the inevitable checkmate unfurl like a lazy shadow. It was so tedious. The whole setup was a joke; they were playing too passively, too focused on his known pieces and not the possibilities on the board in front of them.
He could practically feel the dust bunnies gathering momentum in the corner. He’d rather be outside. Staring at a cloud. Or even just... not this. The whole point of life, surely, was not to overcomplicate things with unnecessary effort. And yet, here he was, trapped in this unrelenting loop, waiting for someone to see what was obvious, all so they could start over.
this whole bit lowkey always makes me bust out laughing, i love how team 10 just like highkey sucks ass its really beautiful. i could watch them fail forever
