Hey all!! Just your typical fan-girl 😋. I blog random stuff, I like a crap ton of YAOI (you've been warned) and you know I've watched an episode of something when I've spammed it all over my blog...forgive me ahead of time! Anyways, hope you enjoy my mix of a blog c:

Boo are cute <3

[pagexofxheart]

Am I … making things weird?

My mind walks this shaky right rope…

Thoughts flailing between

“I want to see you, I want to talk with you”

And

“I should respect your space and I’ll be a bother too”

Insufficient funds… the currency? My confidence..

Floats away and I say, in confidence,

I’m terrified…wings clipped, free falling

Can’t recognize the pain, the sadness

Numb…lost….empty.

Confused

use, and i cannot stress this enough, thriftbooks

[colorisbyshe]

if thriftbooks doesn’t have what you’re looking for, especially if you’re looking for it used/cheap, alternatives include betterworldbooks and discoverbooks.

Other tips for cheaper books is checking amazon and scrolling down to the “buy used” or “other sellers” section and then checking to see if those sellers have storerfonts off of amazon.

There is also a good chance that you might have a local, indie book store that likely also has a used book section! Indiebound might help you find those book stores!

Also, check out your local library, sometimes, they have a for sale section or might have certain times of the year where they do massive used book (dvd, cd, etc) sales to fundraise!

(It’s also worth checking directly from an author’s or publisher’s page and seeing if they have other places they sell their books. I know this is about cheaper/used books, since some of y’all aren’t built for piracy or the library, but also if you want to dodge supporting amazon AND want to more directly support artists you support, there’s a good chance they might have alternate ways to buy the books!)

I use thriftbooks a lot, it's so good!

[initiala]

Bookshop.org allows you to purchase from a locally owned bookshop in your area, the order gets routed to them and the local shop will do the ordering and shipping to you.

Even saying ”I’m so sorry, I completely forgot” sounds marginally better than ” I’m so sorry, I didn’t completely forget, I actually completely remembered. I thought about it the whole time and it stressed me out so much my brain built an insurmountable wall around it.”

Okay. So. Hot take? Ig? But. I keep seeing people on here talking abt how kazuki and rei can't be seen as a QPR, that they act too explixitly romantic and are definitely dating married and fucking. They wear each others clothes, slept in the same bed, and are raising a child together. Etc etc.

And, look, I'll be the first to say, I do adore those two as a couple-i think they're adorable and personally do wanna believe they'll get together at the end, but like. It's not guaranteed thats how the shows gonna end. And also-there's no reason they can't be a QPR?

Like, yall do realize QPRs can be just as close and loving as a romantic relationship, right? It isn't just "bro" stuff, it's different than if you were just friends, you would even call the person your partner, just platonic partner not romantic partner?

QPRs can and do get married, adopt children, and yes even in some cases have sex. Like there's very little difference between a QPR and a romantic relationship. And as an ace/aro person I think the concept that platonic relationships are less loving or less valuable is just a very amatonormative/heteronormative idea.

Again, I love them as a romantic couple, but if someone views them as platonic that doesn't make the relationship they have any less caring or loving, just a different kind of caring and loving. And this romantic elitism is rlly annoying ngl. Like bro it's a headcanon. Let people see them how they want. Its not queer erasure if the characters aren't even canonically together. Also they'd still be queer. That's what the Q in QPR stands for. Also bc it's usually for aromantic headcanons. Which is still very queer.

Idk, I just needed to say this bc I keep seeing ppl get mad at QPR headcanons bc they don't know QPRs are different than friendships. And I just wanted to say my piece. K thnx that's it lmao--

non-traditional relationships are so fucking cool i can’t describe it enough. 

i am not in a relationship. me and one of my friends kiss at most parties (platonically). they have a gf. their gf also kisses me at parties. we’ve all talked about it and everyone is cool with it. i’m not in a relationship with either of the people, and i don’t want to be - i’m happy as i am, and i can do as i please. it’s great!! 

being non-monogamous (as an aroace person) is so fucking sick and i think more people should be engaging in non-traditional relationships because i feel better than i ever have!! /pos

[eclecticecentric]

Absolutely need the homies to know i offer up affection at anytime no need to ask and i love pda. Like yes please stand in my personal space and grab my hand while we're walking down the street. Lay your head on my shoulder when we're sitting next to each other and come up for a hug whenever you want

[aroaceconfessions]

It baffles me that so many people don’t understand that what makes a QPR or platonic relationship is commitment.

Like that’s it. It is the fact that you are committing to prioritize someone in your daily life. That’s the most simple explanation. Yes it’s different than a committed romantic relationship, but both have the expectation that you are committed to your partner, and shape your life around that.

Am I completely off base here? It seems really simple to me. You communicate and commit to each other.

I’ve never seen anyone put it like this, and that confuses the hell out of me.

reminder that:

pronouns ≠ gender

gender ≠ sex

romantic orientation ≠ sexual orientation

aromantic ≠ asexual

dating ≠ QPR

thanks for your time <3

I truly believe that Queer-Platonic Relationships should go without a set definition. QPR's exist on a spectrum and they look different for everyone. Some people want somethings but not others. Some QPR's closely resemble stereotypical "romantic" relationships while others don't and that should be okay. Pushing guidelines like "doesn't include sex", "more than friends", or "require a deep bond" etc. takes away from the purpose of QPR's in the first place, to exist outside the guidelines.

Obviously, QPR's can be sexless, QPP's may define their QPR as existing somewhere between romantic and platonic, and some people do prefer a deep bond before getting involved in a QPR, but to make that the standard defeats the point of having a term that means to have a relationship outside of the standard.

I think that might have made sense? I am not too sure I just saw posts talking about people pushing hard fast definitions as to what a QPR is and decided to spit out my opinions on it.

[the-void-and-the-valley]

having a queer platonic crush on someone is so strange. like, no, i can't stomach the thought of anyone else kissing you, but i dont want to kiss you. i want to tuck your hair behind your ear while you focus on something else. i want to hold your hand. you're my best friend. i love you, as a friend, but also so much more. i dont want to marry you. i want to spend the rest of my life with you. i love you. i know you on such a deep level. i feel like you really know me. you say you're afraid of love, and i agree, but my heart breaks because i'm not afraid of our love. i love you, do you love me? just as friends, or as something more? i love you as a Friend. i think about the plans we made in year 7 all the time. i'm sorry i'm not the right kind of love. i love you, but i dont Love you. is that enough?

[voidpunk-aro]

people act like it’s a flaw that qprs are difficult to define and confusing to allos as if that’s not half the fun! y’know those memes that are like “are you a boy or a girl?” followed by “no” / “yes”??? qprs are that energy but for relationships and for some reason we’ve still got folks trying to pretend that’s not nifty as fuck
