I am obsessed with the idea of two characters growing into love instead of falling in love, like they wouldn’t instantly love each-other, they would learn with time how much they deeply mean to one another, on all their good and bad days they would choose to love the other , learn new things they like to do together, live their lives and wanting the other by their side always,they’d grow into a live they made all by themselves. growing into a sense of love that isn’t exactly romantic , but a love they made together, a bond that they wouldn’t break for the world

People expect to pile emotional support, sexual satisfaction, shared hobbies, intellectual stimulation, and harmonious co-parenting all into the same cart. Carroll, 52, thinks this is an impossible ask; experts share his concern. “When we channel all our intimate needs into one person,” the psychotherapist Esther Perel writes, “we actually stand to make the relationship more vulnerable.” Such totalizing expectations for romantic relationships leave us with no shock absorber if a partner falls short in even one area. These expectations also stifle our imagination for how other people might fill essential roles such as cohabitant, caregiver, or confidant.

Sonic doesn’t really care about Valentine’s Day, he just takes the opportunity to do silly things , with shadow, like holding his hand for no reason, spending the day with him but never explains why he’s so happy comfortably affectionate, and by shadows side all day, not that shadow minds , he would gladly spend the day with sonic , doing some of their favourite things together, he’s just low key confused as to why the blue hedgehog is so giddy and happy today and shadow just decides to not overthink it and enjoy the day with his blue partner

Hand holding , intertwining fingers delicately, lightly touching finger tips, playing with the hand of another, gripping a hand so tightly, they’re putting every goddam emotion into it, placing hand on the back of the other hand and interlocking fingers again , cross holding hands , holding hands so softly it’s like holding a feather, playfully engaging in a thumb war out of nowhere, holding hands, holding hands in every single goddam way, holding the hands of a lover, a friend, a enemy, someone you can’t get a single read on , but hold their hand anyways because it’s what you both need.
