fuck, i just reread the long way to a small angry planet and i'm so.. incapable of being normal about the Aandrisk. half the characters in that book are like your family structure doesnt make sense or why are you so physically affectionate with everyone all the time at their entire species and meanwhile my poly ass is out here like i would literally deal with all the hassle of being a cold-blooded reptile if it meant living in a culture where casual intimacy could just exist, and where families work in a way that makes fucking sense, and where you can just HUG PEOPLE and be NORMAL ABOUT IT
in retrospect when i read this book the first time (before realizing i was poly) that could've really been a big fuckin clue huh
