VIVZIEPOP CONFIRMED THEY'RE NOT POLY

Valentino and Vox are sorta chaotic fuck buddies who do whatever and Velvette's the queer bestie. Sad they're not poly, but they're poly in my head, and thats enough for me✨

Also I think its a hundred times more hilarious that they emit huge polycule vibes from their sheer chaos and thats just beautiful to me.

I think maybe my biggest problem with the polycule jokes is that...

Well, first of all, it really makes a mockery out of actual polyamorous relationships and degrades them as being nothing more than a sex thing-- but I'm not getting into that--

Lucy is not in love with Jack. She does not have romantic feelings for Jack. Certainly not at this point in the story, though their relationship develops later on (I could still see them remaining platonic, however, even though I do support the ship). And she doesn't even have much faith in the future of their friendship. She sees through his "You can count me one of your best friends" and knows it's not so easy as that, certainly not for Jack, at least. Sometimes, when you have such intense romantic feelings for someone and they don't reciprocate, you can't accept a different form of relationship instead. Especially so early into knowing someone-- the sunk-cost fallacy doesn't really apply.

This is not to rag on Jack, of course. It's just I feel that the "let Lucy have her three husbands!!" jokes come primarily from a lack of understanding of Lucy's words and actually devalue Lucy's romantic feelings for Arthur and even Quincey because she only considers marrying Jack as a way to save him from heartache, not a decision made out of romantic love for him. Jack is not on an equal playing field with the other two, and the way people try to make it equivalent is by taking Quincey and Arthur down a peg. Or two. Or three.

It also has undertones of people seeing Lucy as a queen bee and the men as just her worthless drones. Aaaand that, again, is inaccurate and contributes to awful depictions of her.

Lucy is polyamorous!! My long post states it! I am in agreement with that reading!! But Lucy does not want to marry Jack or Quincey. Lucy probably still would have rejected Jack even if not for Arthur. Meanwhile, with Quincey, I do see a possibility that if Arthur were not in her life, she would have accepted his proposal or at least given herself time to think about it before coming to a decision. But nevertheless, Arthur is in her life, and even without truly knowing that he plans to propose, she has her heart set on him.

It's just so much more complex than Lucy and her satellite boyfriends. They have their own lives and relationships that don't entirely revolve around her, and she is not so indifferent to them as to view them all in the same detached way. Lucy does not see her Suitors as Dracula sees the Weird Sisters: as just three mere possessions kept to serve one's vanity. She respects Jack and values his friendship, mourning the possibility she may no longer have it after rejecting him romantically. She has burgeoning feelings for Quincey that she has decided not to act on because she is devoted to Arthur, but she still cherishes him as a friend. And she's loved Arthur since before any of this and longs to be with him and is always reminded of him wherever she goes and whomever she talks to. It's a disservice to all characters involved to simplify that into a dumb joke.

Iroha, holding Satoru’s hand: Our future girlfriend must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized.

Mayu: *steps on a Yuki’s tail and proceeds to drop to her knees and sob while apologizing profusely*

Also Mayu: *trying to peel an orange, ends up squirting juice in her eyes and screams*

Iroha and Satoru: *Exchange a long look*

Satoru: Her. We want her.

i love saiibo they're so funny my friends have affectionately described them as having "strange chemistry" being "fucking embarrassing" etc that is better than anything i could ever say

i feel like i don't draw them being affectionate enough but i know it took them forever to be able to hold hands or hug or kiss without getting so flustered about it they had to stop and try again. like it's not about not wanting to i just feel like the Initiating is hard for them at first. shuichi wants to get better at it for kiibo and also for kaede because that's just one of his character traits, and then you have kiibo over here who's like "shu- shuichi!! um may i hold your hand please?" and he's so earnest but also so visibly flustered about it that shuichi just folds too and they're both like oh my god can we try again our hands didn't even touch this time

Story time:

Brought cheese and homemade apple butter to my coworkers at the end of work and one of the girls was like “you need to be wifed up!!!!! You need a husband!!”

I kinda laughed and the same girl said “I’ll marry you~” (she says bisexual stuff all the time but is one of those comp het girls) so I joked “you’re married! What should I do, move in with you two~~??”

And then she said the “you need a husband” thing again when another coworker complimented the apple butter, and I was like.

What if I’m okay on my own?? Like if it happens it happens, but what if I’m happy as I am???

Wanted to make a dracula oc so i made alcohol lady a sibling UwU

Kazuha: I don't feel comfortable around her because I don't like calling my best friend's girlfriend ma'am.

Beidou: What are you talking about? You call Lumine ma'am all the time.

Kazuha: You don't want me to call Lady Ningguang ma'am the way I call Lumine ma'am.

the parallels of my arcane succession experience just never fucking end

i was looking through the notes app on my phone cuz there's some funni stuff n i found this and like.

me when i hyperfocus on a minecraft series from 11 years ago because i want to cover it in a video essay and also the main characters are very girlfriend coded to me

ok another question. is there a ship name for karlach/laezel/shadowheart

finally working my way through the last episodes of s5. felix i want to study you so bad.

I used basketball hoops orange chandeliers and that electric thingies that I forgot their name and do amazing lampposts to my sanctuary hills.

Also now it has shops. Beautiful. I wanna live in there.

what i’m thinking: mina harker’s strength doesn’t come from a place of rage or physical ability, it’s her intelligence and love. to water down her worth to the badass girlboss archetype is inaccurate and loses the earnestness, emotional intelligence, and traditional intelligence that she brings to the anti-vampire polycule.

what i end up saying: give mina harker a gun
