I wanted to create my own Christmas movie 🎄

I’d watch it.

something ive been thinking about for a while now

(also i feel like there is already a ship name for them but i cant find it can someone tell me if it exists out there i am so sorry-)

and so they did

who keeps giving her these things

she ends up condemned too D:

damn bitch get it together

She’s a Darklord now too

This what my phone translates the last card to

hey guys guess what

her old friends joined her

Good for them fuck shit up ladies

I wanna add those two girls’ names as cards, and they’re pretty great names. 

Also they are 100% drawn to be placed at Condemned Darklord’s sides. 

This is what peak polyamory looks like.

the goal of polyamory is to collect enough partners to defeat the wild hunt

You are a superhero looking for your sidekick who recently went missing. In your search you run into your archnemises who is searching for their henchmen who also went missing. You two soon discover that your sidekick and their henchmen are dating.

no offence but i think a lot of us me included don’t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone

like i’m not dissing romantic love i would to be in love rn but i get so frustrated because humans are such social creatures and we need community to survive but we are taught that we need to pair off and so a lot of us spend a great majority of our lives lonely in between romantic encounters or we settle for less and give ourselves away to people because we are in constant fear of ending up completely isolated and alone and it’s so sad

This is called amatonormativity

100% amatonormativity, and this sense of loss or something missing in the definition of relationships is not limited to arospecs. Amatonormativity is baked into society as a whole (it’s way more expensive to live alone, for example) and its casualties have effects on everyone. It’s just that arospecs come into their identity and sense of self by way of examining these assumptions and trying to figure out what fits. You don’t have to be aro to ask those questions and challenge those assumptions!

But this is a legitimate phenomenon, and nobody’s listening to aros because we’re “cringe.” The more people we have across the spectrum of sexuality questioning “the way things are,” the better it’s going to be for all of us.

Absolutely not limited to arospecs (or aces).

As I understand it, when Elizabeth Brake coined the term “Amatonormativity,” she was mainly thinking in terms of challenging the cultural supremacy of monogamous relationships.

So Amatonormativity is also concept of importance to polyamorous folks, too.

This reminds me of some writing advice I once read. Paraphrased, “before you try to ‘fix’ your character’s emotional problems by introducing a love interest, stop and think: is this an issue that being in a romantic relationship would actually resolve? If what your character really needs is a friend, a mentor, or a therapist, consider giving them one of those instead.” 

Jlaireja is another of my OT3

the moon is a lesbian and she hates terfs

the moon told me personally that she thinks you’re obnoxious and hopes you never get a girlfriend

I have a theory that the moon IS a trans woman cause she’s always associated with feminine things but when we saw the craters that look like a face we called it “The Man In The Moon”. She’s a woman with a face that people may perceive as male. She’s a beautiful trans woman

the moon is a beautiful trans woman who hates terfs and shows her face every night to remind other trans women they are beautiful and strong and loved and important and wonderful and that terfs and their opinions dont matter

I wanna add to this if it’s ok?? In Hindu mythology, Chandra, the moon, was originally thought of as a male deity. However, as time went on, symbolism involving the moon and the name “Chandra” itself became identified with femininity, with beautiful girls being described as having “moon-like faces,” with their dark, long hair reminding lovers of the midnight sky, and names like “Nilaa” (”moon” in Tamil) and “Indu” (in Sanskrit) are now pretty much now completely girl names! 

AlsO Chandra is married to 27 wives, who are all stars. The moon is a trans lesbian and is gay for all the stars in the sky. 

Reblog if you’re gay for the trans lesbian poly moon who supports all woman.

Y EP

imagine your polyship all sleeping over at a’s house, but none of them remember to bring a change of clothes with them. in the morning, a just ends up lending a bunch of their clothes to everyone

I fucking love this. One it reminds me of that episode if the teen titans when Robin left and everyone ended up wearing his costume around the tower.

And two this would be amazing for Jlairby. Claire wearing Jim’s gym shorts and his blue jacket. Toby trying to squeeze in to one of Jim’s shirts. Or Jim and Claire putting on Toby’s sweaters as they hang around the house.

If this happens after the Eternal Night, then Claire and Toby would be easily able to fit into anything Jim wears because of the size difference.

After the Eternal Night they’d ONLY steal from Jim’s pile because oversized is best size for cosiness.

They have Sleeve-Slapping battles with the over-long sleeves.

or they play “telephone booth” with the shirts.

“Guys, you’re stretching my sweaters.”

“Stop being a spoilsport, Jim! C’mon, Mary! We can fit one more person in here, I think!”

CHOOSE YOUR SIDE

Heh

Dude, Blinky has four arms. For hugging two people at once.

Why not both???

Claire Nuñez: Finally able to Express herself

I feel like Claire would have discovered and come to terms with her sexuality comparatively early. But she wasn’t able to truly express it till later. She’s intelligent, well read, and pretty self-aware. The issue is with her parents. Her parents both seem fairly traditional and her mother is on the City Council. The eyes of the town are on them all the time. Or at least that’s how it feels to her mother. The daughter of Ophelia Nunez just can’t have a girlfriend. They barely trust the boy she starts to date. I feel like her parents wouldn’t be outright opposed to her bisexuality, but they would highly discourage her from exploring it.

It wouldn’t be till well after the Eternal Night and the fall of the Gunmar that she actually gets a girlfriend. At that point she is away from her parents long enough to be open about how she feels about other girls. Also she’s dating a half troll. If her parents are going to allow that than they have no right to be upset about any girl’s she decides to be with. And she is a bit of a hero, both with the fight to save Arcadia and from personally banishing Morgana to the Shadow Realm. Any citizens that might have had a problem are willing (or forced) to ignore anything they might not like.

Her first kiss was with either Mary or Darci. The  girls had sleepovers all the time growing up. Maybe it was dare, or just in the heat of the moment. Either way it confirms how she has felt inside for a long time. But it doesn’t go further than that with either them. She knows what her mom will say, what her dad will say. Sometimes when she goes to the movies with Darci, or helps fix her lipstick the other girl will want to say something, to bring up the kiss they shared, to share another moment, but she never does.

After the Eternal Night, Claire returns to Arcadia. By now she’s long accepted that Team Trollhunters is only big poly love circle. Jim is so happy to see Toby again that they immediately share a kiss. Claire is next, the skype conversations have been nice, but she misses Toby almost as much as Jim does. Darci is a little surprised to see her boyfriend be kissed by first a giant half troll then her best friend (Toby and Darci talked about opening their relationship and she’s fine with it. Still surprised to see it happen in front of her). Claire is embarrassed for a second, then thinks fuck it. And kisses Darci as well. They all laugh and hug. Then go to one of their houses for some private time. Time to kiss, to hug and to finally have some long put off conversations.

MY FAVORITE SHIP DYNAMICS~!

Or some of them at least ^ ^; Did the ship dynamics meme going around on twitter!

Do any other aros find the concept of monogamy strange? Like I don’t understand the concept of “the one”? If I could I’d do “romantic” things with many of my friends, so having one specific person is strange to me

Yeah! Like, monogamy seems so linked to amatonormativity? And it seems unhealthy to be so dependent on a single person.  Polyamory makes more sense to me because people can have more than one best friend, therefore can prioritize relationships with more than one person? Also, there’s generally a good bit of overlap between aromantic and polyamorous communities in the sense that we both reject the relationship hierarchy and nuclear family model.

The term “amatonotmativity” was coined by polyamorous feminist Elizabeth Brake, so that link between amatonotmativity and monogamy that your picking up on is actually super intentional, and honestly, something I wished we talked about more in aro spaces.

If you’re intrested in reading more about amatonotmativity from a poly perspective I would recommend Brakes book “Minimizing Marriage”.

unless one character in the equation is a heinous asshole or something, i am entirely impervious to love triangles. 

i live by the “____ has two hands” meme motto

“oh no!! two friends fell in love with the same person, what will they do???? who will have to sacrifice their heart??” NOBODY, BITCH. 

“a character thought their spouse was dead but they finally moved on and have a new spouse they love… but now the original spouse is back! who will bow out for the others’ happiness??” I MEAN, ALL THREE OF THEM HAVE WEDDING RINGS ON ALREADY…

“this trio of adventurers have faced hell and high water together and developed incredibly deep bonds with each other during their quest, but now that their quest has come to a close, which two of them will settle down together?” COZY COTTAGES IN THE WOODS ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR THREE.
