Your personal Tumblr library awaits
I want a relationship that is completely undefinable by any existing labels or words. Like, we're so close and we hug and kiss each other's foreheads and cuddle and travel and explore together, and we get along so well and have so much in common. But at the same time, our relationship isn't fully romantic or fully platonic; it's a completely separate, open-to-interpretation thing that we tweaked as needed, and we have our own boundaries and things we are and aren't comfortable with, and we respect each other in every way, shape, and form.
"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff
"there is no platonic explanation for this" when characters hug, care for each other, support them, are worried when they are in danger, smile at each other etc
Some of yall just don't have any good friends and it really shows
So, instead of writing i colored a scene from the next part of my story. King of procrastination.
And here again without my terrible attempt at environmental lighting.
can somebody tell me some more info about queerplatonic relationships as me and my friend are considering entering one and neither of us know much about it?????

BAD APPLE MENTION AND GORGEOUS ART
“Will tomorrow ever come? Will I make it through the night?
Will there ever be a place for the broken in the light?
Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay or should I go?
I’ve forgotten how to tell
Did I ever even know?”
I'm writing a fic and I've done some surface level research on the stuff so I figured I'd ask here too for people on the acespec (is that what's it called??) (—specifically for people in qprs)
how did you like realize you didn't actually want a romantic relationship but a qpr one?? how did ygs sort your feelings out? (and how did you 'confess' that to the other person or is it like??)
I hope I'm not being disrespectful! thank you!!!!!!:33
They are canonically in a co-dependent symbiotic bond. They are the epitome of queerplatonic.
the doctor and the TARDIS are in a QPR and you cannot convince me otherwise

Look at tumblr butchering the quality! I am 11 days too late for drawtober, ik. But I only had two prompts left and now I am finally done! Characters from @directdogman
Masterpost
actually no, we're not "dating". we're bound together for infinity. like the stars. so, fuck you, actually.
when you get a platonic gf❤️❤️❤️ (qpr)
Yeah I’m sure sex is cool and all but have you tried watching someone else’s favorite movie with them. Have you noticed them sneaking glances at you every few minutes so they can see your reactions. Have you felt them grab your hand in the middle of a scene and braced yourself because oh, something big’s about to happen on screen. Have you tried turning to them right after the big plot twist because oh my god, just for them to give you a look that says I know, right? Have you tried laying on the couch for hours after the credits roll, going through every scene together with a fine tooth comb. Have you tried watching the sparkle in their eyes as they go on and on about metaphors, and focal points, and genre bending masterpieces.
Like blowjobs sound so awesome bro they sound so great, but have you tried the intoxicating experience of someone handing you a piece of media that irrevocably changed them as a person. Have you felt the utter joy of knowing someone trusts you enough to hand you a piece of their heart. Sex is cool but you gotta try watching Perfect Blue with the person you love most in the world and losing your goddamn minds together, because I can promise you there’s nothing like it.
Part of me is like “wow I wish we as a society would normalize prioritizing platonic love and accept that some people just want to build a life with someone they love without any expectation of sex or romance”
But at the same time I’m gonna keep being happy with my partner no matter what society thinks so like. Y’all can keep being weird about queer platonic relationships if you want, we’ll just be over here finding fulfillment and joy in each other’s company for the next several decades or so.
okay but why is cumplane knowing each other in their past lives so cute, like genuinely? maybe its the usual case of "cucumber finds out that airplane is struggling to afford rent and food and so offers financial support so he can get his story back on track" or maybe its one of those "they don't even know the other's online pen and they're acting as completely normally non-NEET friends" or even "they've been friends from the start and cucumber rags on airplane's writing but reads it anyway before he posts just so he can be the first to comment his criticism" or some shit. I dunno.
like if Fanon (I think it's Fanon) of sqh using cucumber bro's comments as a model for his creation of mobei-jun and falling in love with that or sqq falling in love with binghe because he's a more beefed-up reflection of sqh, LIKE HELLO?
I sometimes imagine a world in which they knew each other a little better and were just on the precipice of something more and then. died. and then sqh grows up in this world and mobei-jun reminds him so strongly of a-yuan and... then his villain becomes weird??? wtf?? and more like his old crush from his old world???? and then somehow they meet each other BEFORE lbh goes into the abyss
and theres this whole developing story where they figure it out and pick right back where they left off after a bit of awkwardness, and finally manage to get over that hill from their past life and the peak lords are like "what" because this hsit just got weirder

Huntlow T4T QPR. I will never not see Willow are aroace. She is also a transfem icon while hunter transmasc. That is all
Whenever i hear my friends talk about crushes or relationships i get really confused. Like, one of my friends was talking about how this guy (one he's hard-core pining for) called him "dear", and how happy(?) he was about it. And i'm just ???What???? Why is that good?? it just sounds really uncomfortable to me,,, Like i get platonic(?) crushes, i've had many of those, but i lack much understanding of romantic ones...
i've never really understood what people meant when they said they find people "hot" or attractive. i've seen people as pretty and nice to look at, certainly, but i've never quite understood the concept of physical attraction. i <3 being in a QPR, though, those are wonderful.
Really old art from 2019 that I archived on my Instagram, but I think it's actually really cute so I'm posting it here so that it can live to see another day. I thought I completely lost this art too lmao, I drew it before I ever had any kind of art tablet. It was drawn on my phone. Could never have imagined how the show would have turned out back then.
Not to get too personal on the getting-too-personal website, but I just feel a little lonely every time I see my friends (who are dating) do little things that I don’t really get to because Im aromatic. Like… I want to want to be in a relationship, but I don’t know if it’s something that I’m actually comfortable with. I think it’d be nice to have someone who just looks at you with a love and appreciation thats different than other friends do. I wish I could have a platonic partner like that but it feels so impossible…
I need people to understand the love I have for the manga series called “I want to be a wall” by Honami Shirono. The manga talks about the marriage between Yuriko (aroace woman) and Gakurouta(gay man) who try to adapt to societal norms and their families pressure and expectations through that marriage. In the end their goal is to find their own happy ever after. Not only do we learn about them as people but they also grow next to eachother as partners and friends, while learning how to be ‘married‘.
I cried multiple times throughout reading it all cuz of how they voice their feelings and how realistic some of these situations are. But also many happy tears. All in all I’m happy to have experienced their journey and that of the others whose story was shown <3
The need to share this came cuz I just got delivered the third part and finished reading it with too many feelings to really talk about it. I just felt really understood in Yuriko’s character and how she feels about love, marriage and relationships and think that in the end it talks very sensible on the queer themes in all of it.
Part of the story are queer relationships, discrimination and the feeling of otherness.
So happy pride month ppl and read “I want to be a wall” 🏳️🌈
Bro i dont know if this is normal or not but like does anyone else just absolutely hate physical touch but crave it sm at the same time??
Its only from my qpps tho, like if i made a tierlist or smth it would be like:
- I can tolerate it but i hate it so much (most people are here, including many of my family members)
- I can tolerate it but im indifferent (some of my family)
- I can tolerate it and act ok tho i dont entirely like it (the remaining family members and closer friends)
And this is how it usually was until like 2 months ago when the 3 of us figured out we were actually in a qpr
So it has added a new level:
- I love it so much please just hold me or smth its so nice (only those 2)
And i dont understand bc whenever i explain it i sound touch starved tho i dont think that i am i just really like them making non sexual contact with me like cuddling or holding hands or whatever (especially cuddling i love it so much)
I need to vent.
My brother has feelings for my partner. And my partner has feelings for my brother. I feel sick at my stomach. I don't feel angry towards either of them, but I just feel so upset. It's not even like up for debate whether or not they like each other. They do. I know they do. It's so fucking obvious. I don't even know what to do. I feel like I can't even move forward with my partner knowing they like my brother but I don't wanna hurt them. Hell, they dated for like four hours. My partner asked me to date someone they had gotten a queer platonic crush on, and I said of course, I wanted them to be happy. Later I figured out that it was my brother who they failed to mention was the person they liked. So I talked to my brother about it and they broke up. And when I talked to my partner about it they just kept apologizing and I felt like a terrible person so I just said it was okay and gave in. It's not okay, I'm still upset, I still feel disgusting. I know they still have feelings for each other because they don't just fucking go away. I don't even know what to do because I feel like if I do anything I'm making a scene. I don't wanna do this anymore. I wish this hadn't happened, but it did. It's not my fault. It's not theirs. But somehow I still feel like I want to blame someone.
(Added context. My partner is aroace, I'm A-spec. We're in a qpr, and our qpr could look to the unknowing eye like an 'average' relationship. Also my brother is not brother by blood, but he's my brother in every other aspect.)
