@polyam-fam
normalize polyamorous people having families and raising children together. destroy the idea that the nuclear family is the default, that it’s the best option for everyone, that it’s the only option that “counts” and that any other kind of family is automatically unhealthy and ‘bad’.
Hey folks. I'm back. I've been gone for a while because my partner, Ollie passed away in August and I didn't have the heart to come back to this blog. Then John and I broke up because he was unsupportive through my grieving period. He didn't know Ollie well so he kind of like "wow that sucks" and then didn't talk to me. So then we had a conversation, I tried to tell him how I felt and he made this all about him instead of talking to me about the real issue.
Its been 4 months since Ollie has been gone. I miss him.
little polyamorous things i adore
big beds
the hand holding in a line thing when ur out in public
“my partners”
group dates
when u get the whole polycule together and everything feels nice and good
the group chat
an infinite amount of love and support from ur partners
solo dates but u spend the whole time gushing about the member of the polycule that isn’t there
double cheek kisses!!
being the middle spoon
that reverse-roast thing where instead of being mean everyone in the polycule gangs up on the sad one and says nice things about them
What's a nesting partner? Is it like the partner you live with or something? (Or, as my friend jokingly says as I write this, is it the partner you build a nest out of blankets with?)
[Serious]The first one, although as I have written before, some are both :)
Fact: polyamorists will build love nests out of pillows, shiny rocks, and shelves filled with books. Polyamorists have been confirmed to travel up to 500 miles from their native habitat to acquire particularly shiny rocks.
Y'all are cowards
So many people are against Ralagang (Rajan/Kala/Wolfgang). You guys already get your monogamous relationships (Nomi/Amanita, Riley/Will, etc.) Can y'all just let the polyam folks have this? Polyamorous representation is so rare to come by and Ralagang is just so cute and in love! Y'all just want to be salty because Kala didn’t /just/ pick Wolfgang. And she didn’t settle for both just because! She loves both Rajan and Wolfgang, thats why she cant “pick” but instead of making it a toxic love triangle (which people are so fond of for some reason?) they made them happy together as a triad.
-PolyamFam
The only thing I didn’t like about it is that Rajan doesn’t know it’s a triad at all; he believes he’s in a loving monogamous marriage with his wife. He knows Kala is mentally connected to Wolfgang but doesn’t know anything about their romantic or sexual relationship. Polyamory is about communication, honesty & trust. Wolfgang & Kala are violating Rajan by continuing their relationship in secret from him. It’s not polyamory, it’s cheating. If she had told him the truth & he had been okay with it & they all decided to move forward together, THAT would be an amazing representation of a polyamorous relationship. This is just another illicit love triangle :/
Did you watch the same show I did? When Rajan asked what was going on, it is heavily implied that Kala explained her connection to Wolfgang as well, and Rajan was ok with it. When Kala was dying, they were both there, holding their love in their arms and kissing her. There are several moments that show some bonding between Rajan and Wolfgang. And I’m pretty sure the threesome wasn’t just a mental threesome. Wolfgang was physically there.
Nevertheless, the show does make a point in showing that non of them know what will become of their future/relationship because it’s all new to them, but the 3 of them are in a consensual happy relationship.
I don’t see why y’all are hating so much.
Then they did a really poor job of showing that bc even after she explained her psychic connection to him, she was still stressed about choosing 1 or the other. So that’s why I didn’t assume she mentioned her secret romance. When she was shot, Wolfgang kissed her before Rajan even entered the room & he shifted to the side to let him kiss his wife.
It just doesn’t make sense to me bc all throughout the series, it’s been this really complicated issue & Kala talked repeatedly about not loving Rajan at all. Then, in the final episode, they don’t have any sort of relationship-defining conversation, just sex & continuing to make out with Wolfgang in her head. & yes there was Wolfgang & Rajan bonding but they didn’t do anything to insinuate it was romantic in any shape or form. It was a genuine gratitude for saving his life & a friendship bloomed from that.
I’m not hating. I’ve been in polyam relationships in the past & would LOVE to see them appropriately recognized in film! It was honestly just a really sloppy way of handling that arc. Polyam relationships are already reduced to sex in the mainstream, & this show had a great opportunity to explore that, & it didn’t. There wasn’t anything wrong with the sex scene, I enjoyed it, but there needed be an important conversation there added to it that just never happened. It could’ve happened that night after Bug’s “There are no rules” mini speech of encouragement.
After the dinner, she could have said “Rajan, I’ve grown to love you since our wedding, but even before all that, I fell in love with Wolfgang through our psychic connection. I don’t want that to interfere with our marriage. I don’t exactly know what that means, but I’d like to explore the possibility of a relationship with the both of you.” & they could have shown Rajan a little upset & confused at first, but then being like “well I actually really like him, he’s a great man, & I can see why you’d like him & why you felt you had to keep it from me. If that’s truly what you want, I’m willing to give it a shot, because you’re my wife. From now on, don’t keep anything like this from me again, okay? I married you. I’m here for you. I love you.”
I just wrote that off the top of my head, it would’ve taken maybe 5 mins tops, & it would’ve sufficed. I’m in no way a writer, but even that’s better than no conversation at all/“implied conversation.” Their arc deserved at least that much.
For something to claim polyam representation, it’d be nice to actually see an accurate, complicated portrayal of polyam relationships that are actually honest & healthy. I think they did a great job of that with Lito/Hernando/Dani, even though they didn’t explicitly say they were polyam. I still think the best form of polyam representation in the show is Amanita’s family.
I see what you are saying. And I understand that some people might interpret all of this differently.
But what I had got from (both seasons and the finale) was, of course reluctance on Kala's part to be wed to Rajan and to continue to be his wife. But when I saw them for the finale it looked as if Kala had grown to love him. (As can happen and yes I do agree it did seem a bit rushed with the time frame we do have but unfortunately its what we have to work with since the Netflix cancellation but that does not mean that they didn’t talk about their relationship).I found that endearing, I felt that Kala and Rajan were coming to a place in their relationship where they were understanding each other's feelings. Wolfgang was an expected variable in the relationship and I agree that Kala seeing him especially since she has feelings for him without telling Rajan was inappropriate.
But to me it seems that they have talked and are in the process of getting through it. Rajan did seem a little wary back at his friend’s place but then they start getting more comfortable with each other after the road trip and other scenes (bonding time)
Thanking Rajan, it is hard for Wolfgang to express himself to people that he’s not close to yet, so this is a step for him. And also making the effort to get along with Rajan (even if he and Rajan aren’t together, polyam relationships in a hinge are valid and they partners can be friends)
Wolfgang and Kala cuddled up in the backseat, Rajan is aware and looks totally alright with it. He even enjoys himself as they all start singing and bonding.
When they met up with Felix, Wolfgang said that it was complicated and it is.
Kala dies for a bit and it devastates them both. Rajan is mostly happy that his wife does not stay dead but in this scene there’s no resentment (that I can see) from Rajan about kissing Kala. This is right after she is revived and Rajan is in the room and sees Wolfgang’s grief and joy, he sees the kiss and he’s fine with it. He then goes on to kiss his wife and give her attention as Wolfgang willingly moves away so Rajan can.
Trip to the doctor where they bring Wolfgang along. Rajan is relaxed, even happy (as they joke about his last visit and Wolfgang gets confused) but Rajan isn’t irritated that Wolfgang is there, he’s not broody or jealous, he’s supporting his wife and is fine with their lover being there.
Ah yes the infamous after wedding threesome that people claim that Wolfgang is just in Kala’s head. To me it looks as if he was waiting for them both, yes a little drunk on champagne, but there. (I honestly interpreted this to be that they were all sharing a room or at least that Wolfgang was sleeping there with them)
Kala sees Wolfgang (this is obviously not planned but seems to be a welcome surprise, because Rajan also looks and /SEES/ Wolfgang)
Wolfgang is implying that they both join him, he looks happy and carefree (not uncomfortable, he knows what he’s getting himself into)
Rajan takes a moment to consider this (while making eye contact with Wolfgang)
This is not the face of a man who feels uncomfortable or is angry with the implications of this situation. He looks more amused than anything.
Its clear that Rajan can see Wolfgang as they start engaging Kala together, if he wasn’t there I feel like this scene would have gone a lot different.
Also in this frame Rajan is touching Wolfgang, holding him as they all partake in this consensual threesome.
Relationships are not perfect and these three are no exception.
I am upset because people kept erasing their blooming relationship, as a polyam person I feel like this is important to have. Other polyam people may disagree but I am fond of these three so that’s just me.
I am LIVING for the polyamorous relationship representation in Sense8. It gave me life.
CAN I GET AN AMEN FOR OUR FAVORITE SHOW PRESENTING HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS AS THEY ARE?

@polyamsuggestion
I’ve stopped saying we’ve reached marriage equality and started saying we have reached monogamous marriage equality. People need to consider that there are people out there who still lack marriage equality simply because of how many people they’re in love with.
