nancy and robin both living in massachusetts... the first state to legalise same-sex marriages in 2003... which has the town with the most lesbian couples per capita in the entire united states... do u see what I am saying here

Jonathan saying he hates the color pink on Nancy (even though it’s the color she wears the most), never trusting her intuition, and always placating her instead of talking things through.

And then there’s Robin playing ‘Pretty in Pink’ on the radio while Nancy was listening, raving about Nancy’s shot in the dark being a bullseye and then consistently trusting her plans and decisions/doing her best to ensure they work out, and challenging Nancy when she’s being stubborn instead of placating her. Doing everything she can to make sure Nancy knows that she’s there for her always even when Jonathan himself is too busy being stupid abt Steve to really pay attention to what’s going on with her.

Oh, I know Nancy dreams about that girl.

honestly, I think Nancy living, not ending up with Steve or Jonathan, getting a gay ass haircut, and living in the same state as Robin is the best we were gonna get

I can’t wait for the reunion at Robin’s weird uncle’s house in Philly ronance and Stonathan fics to start rolling out

the way ppl have designated cuddling as a purely romantic thing and is weird outside of that context has done widespread damage to our pack animal nature

"There is no platonic explaination for this" Everything has a platonic explaination if you're brave enough

[that-rambling-jem]

"there's no platonic explanation for this" y'all need to talk to an aromantic person. They will make anything platonic.

anger issues as a trauma response is something i don't see a lot of people talking about, probably because it's an "unpalatable" or "uncomfortable" form of struggling. like yeah, my older sister consistently denied me any real identity or freedom of my own for the first decade of my life. based on the shit people say online, you'd think my trauma response would be to become as small and unobtrusive as possible. WRONG! i just got angry as fuck. i made myself bigger, more threatening, louder. harder to ignore. when i don't want to do something someone else does, i genuinely struggle not to just go "no, i don't wanna do that. we're not doing that.", because for so long, i had to go "okay, i guess we can do this if you want..." even when i didn't. the point is that my opinion never mattered, so i made it impossible to dismiss. and in the process became an angry, bitter, argumentative individual. and that's something i'm working on.

the point is, our brains are different, and respond differently to similar traumas. but shout out to all my fellow people who developed anger issues in response to trauma.

"You'll find a romantic partner eventually" I fucking hope not

[morally-earl-gray]

people get so defensive and weird when you try to headcanon an extroverted flirty character as aroace and theyre like "ehhh i dont see it..... they dont really seem aroace to me..... maybe they can be bi..." like okay?? do you think that characters have to be quiet introverted people who hate everyone in order to be headcanoned as aroace??because a) i can headcanon whatever i want and you cant stop me and b) you are a fucking idiot.

Dismantling the relationship hierarchy is not about rearranging it so that sexual and romantic relationships are devalued while QPRs become the new “more than friends.” We need to completely do away with the idea that relationships exist on a fixed hierarchy. Some people will consider friend(s) or a zucchini/QPP the most important part of their life. For some people, their most important relationship will be a sexual relationship (and not necessarily one which includes romance!). And some people will still consider their romantic partner the most important person in their life, and that’s fine too.

Just as it’s harmful to tell an aroace person that romantic and sexual relationships are the most important ones, it’s also harmful to tell an alloaro person that sex is inherently less important than romance or to tell an alloromantic aplatonic person that friendship is inherently more important than romance. There is no way to rank relationships that will not devalue the experiences of at least one group of people, nor is there any reason why we need to rank relationships in the first place.

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

Not to be repetitive but genuinely sex positivity and sexual liberation only work if everyone realizes that sex isn’t that much of a fucking deal. It is not the be all end all of anything. It isn’t the crux of every coming of age story or the pinnacle of every relationship. It’s literally just a thing some folks do.

Obviously some folks will put significance on their own, personal experiences, or consider it to be like the highest form of intimacy/romance/etc, but also some folks think cooking together is the height of intimacy/romance/connection, some people put that insane amount of significance onto Hollidays or wacky traditions.

Nobody should be pressured to have/not have sex, nobody should be expected to put significant meaning on sex, the only sex folks should be worried about is their own (if they choose to have it) and if someone’s in a legitimate dangerous situation.

TLDR: sex can personally be a big deal for someone, but collectively everyone needs to stop giving a fuck because folks deciding to smoosh booties or deciding not to do that really is not that big a deal and literally doesn’t affect the general population in any meaningful way.

“friend” is its own deeply important relationship. why is there an insistence on qualifying friendships as “like family” to convey significance
