Queerplatonics on my brain

Emotional attraction and intimacy (9/8/20)

Yesterday I tried to do Google searches on “emotional attraction” and “emotional intimacy,” and almost everything that came up was in relation to romance or the physical.  However, so far I got

Emotional attraction=being attracted to someone’s personality.  

Emotional intimacy=feeling comfortable sharing your personal feelings and thoughts with someone.  

Both are unrelated to gender.  Another sign of closeness that I have picked up from reading is when a person picks up a habit of another person.  This has to go both ways, because I’ve read work where a guy is teaching a woman all about his interests, but she did not do the same thing with him and he had no interest in her interests, so it was one-sided.

Happy Valentine's day even to those relationships where you're kinda not friends kinda not dating you're just cool like that

Not dating, no longer enemies, not friends, but instead a secret fourth thing

There are probably like 2, maybe 3 ships that aren’t queerplatonic. Every other ship is queerplatonic and that’s a fact.

someone let me cry on them about how fucking perfect Elementary's portrayal of Holmes and Watson's relationship is.

LABELED

NONROMANTIC

CANON

PARTNERSHIP

THAT IS VALUED

AND EMOTIONALLY REWARDING AND FULFILLING.

LOOK AT HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.

I'm in a tough spot in my opinion on TV/movie/book/etc relationships because on one hand I dislike queer baiting as much as the next person but I also want to see value put into platonic relationships and I'd LOVE to see some queerplatonic relationships out there as well so when I see certain ships(Johnlock, Spock/Kirk, etc) I'm always very torn in my loyalties because I'm never sure where I'd like the relationship to fall and I'm never sure if certain relationships are good because they're representing platonic/queerplatonic relationships as just as important as romantic ones or if they're problematic because they're queerbaiting.
