censoring it is gatekeeping. "no! you can't see the lost media, only I can!"

so so confused by this culture of amanormativity. i was describing the love i have for my best friend the other day, and someone said "so you love them romantically. that's how it works" and no. no, that's not how it works. at all. intense and profound and overwhelming feelings of friendship and affection and adoration don't automatically tick over into romantic once they reach a certain level. my love for my best friend is deep and strong, and it hits me like a tidal wave sometimes. but it's not romantic

i think the worst part of the "everyone thinks i'm dating my best friend" bit is the amount of people that ask "well if she was gay too you'd want to date her right?" and like no. i'm not attracted to her like that. i'm not settling for best friendship because she likes men. this isn't a second choice. the shape of my love for her is profound and bone deep and wholly platonic. she's not my best friend because girlfriend wasn't an option, she's my best friend because that's how i love her. how i want to and how i choose to love her. day in and day out it's an active and wanted choice, never a concession. with a bond so deep it aches to see her hurt, and it fills my heart endlessly to see her happy, and not once have i ever had a romantic thought for her.

no when i say intimacy i mean one of us is bleeding out and the other is putting their entire body weight behind their hands to stop it

There’s something so deeply intimate about cleaning someone’s wound… having them put their faith in you.. trusting that you’ll be as gentle as possible and make them feel better. All scared and knowing it will hurt but finding comfort in the fact that you’re the one doing it. Softly cooing over them as they flinch and cry.. telling them how good they’re doing staying so still for you… 🖤

I absolutely love this concept, it is so cute and intimate, but even tho it hurts, even tho it stings, you feel comforted, taken care of, loved, nothing is better then have someone not only accepting you broken and hurting, but helping fix your pain

Come fuck this (gesturing to weird pile)

you're getting really desperate huh

I was gesturing to you.

I’m not sure how many people realize that there’s a way in which hurt/comfort is actually very kinky, because at its core you’ve got this emotional power exchange fantasy where one character is vulnerable and helpless and the other takes care of them. In the case of stories involving grievous injuries, where someone is bedridden for a long time, you often end up with two characters in a 24/7 total power exchange relationship without a safeword. It just doesn’t involve as many whips and dog collars.

if I was a stray dog would you coax me into your car and bring me home and be patient with me as I learn to trust you and love me even as I snap and growl at you out of fear would you do that for me. would you still love me if our bond strengthened over time but I have a bad day and growl at you and get scared again and it sets back our progress a little. if I was a stray dog would you help me heal and show me you love me no matter what and tell me I’m good

fuck sex these bitches need a deep, LONG ASS hug where they don’t let go for a while and just soak into each other’s arms like the other’s heartbeat is their oxygen they so desperately need as they bawl their eyes out

Not to be incredibly vulgar and nasty or anything, but I’d like to close my eyes and rest my head in somebody’s lap while they run their fingers through my hair
