And tbh i think for us, our favorite interpretation is based around the idea that romantic gestures dont actually mean exclusively romantic, these relationships read as romantic to us because we've learned them that way but actually just represent deep, intense emotional connections and because its with an alien species with different cultures, it's not as important that its romantic or sexual feelings, it just matters that it is an intimate emotional connection

Idk, im always a fan of the distinction between platonic and romantic being less important than the decision to express that connection in relationships, even if those read as romantic to outside perspectives, doesn't mean it's exclusively that to the ones experiencing it

amasui is really, a very dear term to me, becuase of how long it's been apart of my life. long, long, LONG before i realised i was plural, it's been a big part of my life - pre-undertale. yes, i know, insane, i think a lot of peoples first experience with amasui shipping was either sans, or the onceler. (i actually never experienced the oncest shipping!)

my experience, however. was a lot earlier than that. i was probably the youngest i can remember, like 7 at the most. my first experience? my little pony! back in the day the genderbends were popular. and guess what i did with the genderbends of the mane six? i shipped them with the original ones.

i had a lot of mlp toys, and i still do. i have a disproportionate amount of pinkie pie toys, and i loved to make little story lines with my toys as a child, as most kids do. and since i had so many pinkie pies compared to the other ponies, guess what happened? i made them into pinkie pies from different universes, and i made them fall in love.

plurality made this a whole lot more complicated, and a lot more important to me, because now it wasn't just something i shipped or enjoyed, it was something i experienced. and for a long time i didn't realise how deeply i experienced it.

having a lot of introject doubles takes a big role in this. we split a lot of the same character, and a lot of the time we dont even really think too much about it whenthey decide to date - it's the majority of their insys dating pool, after all, it's just a bunch of themself. why limit themself?

the exploration of amasui, as a shipping dynamic, is wonderful as well. to love someone like they're another, while they're also undoubtely you.

in all ways, every angle, amasui is an undeniably beautiful experience; whether it be from shipping or experiencing. there's nothing quite like it, and that's what i like so much about it.

it's apart of my identity not in a way thats part of my orientation/sexuality, but because it's apart of me. i can't be seperated from it, because it defines a lot of my experiences, a lot of our alters experiences. without that, we wouldn't be who we are.

amasui is intricately apart of my entire life, i love every part of it, and it's a part of me.

until like the very last moments, like when she’s inside the shikon no tama and the demon of the shikon jewel is making it’s breaking speech towards her and she FINALLY has this realization of “WHAT THE FUCK I’VE BEEN TIME TRAVELING”
