The way Eiffel and Minkowski just Get each other, regardless of their previous hatred of each other. We go from Minkowski hating Eiffel’s guts (valid) to them truly needing each other. With them being the only two they can rely on in deep space, it makes such a compelling narrative that has you questioning whether they would even be friends in any other universe. The way their stories work, they could even be your classic enemies to lovers (looking past some marriages and how their characters just. Aren’t.) but wolf 359 shows us that they don’t need that relationship status to have one of the most compelling and delightfully codependent friendships in the podcast. We get Hera squeeling over them calling each other “friends” for the first time, (same, hera, same), narratively treating them with the same level of respect as you would a romantic pairing.

Maxwell and Jacobi hit this similar beat for me, they have no romantic tension but have grown this reliance and deep trust in each other. The scene where Maxwell slaps Jacobi what has to be like 7 times in a row and cusses him out for flaking on her before they dissolve into giggles really defines their relationship to me. They’re horrible people. They know it. They’re monsters. Together. And besties yay! In other media their relationship may take a backseat, and while theirs isn’t the forefront it’s certainly never minimized in impact on their individual characters. These two go together, need each other. (They’re a set do not separate)

Average asexual space experience; that's how half of the community sounds like, especially under a repulsed (sometimes averse) post. Since why should they mind their own business; No, they'll get offended over stuff they have nothing to do with.

Cuz whenever someone asked how ppl have it w physical affection & you said you dislike it, then you always get at least 1 response where the person is basically trying to gaslight you that it's wrong to not like it & that you should just let others touch you.

The line “they say take it off, I say keep it on” makes me feel so seen because it is mostly clothing that makes me find people attractive, and that includes underwear/swimsuits! To me, a clothed body will always be more attractive than a completely naked one for reasons that only the garlic bread gods know. It’s like. Girls in bikinis are pretty largely because of the bikinis, not because a bikini is closer to being nude than other clothes. [grips you by the shoulders] Do my ramblings about aesthetic attraction make any sense.

I don't have to want to sleep with everyone I have feelings for, and I don't have to have feelings for everyone I sleep with

…yall know people can be attractive without me wanting to engage in intimate relationships with them right
