Rat’s Nest

All of that being said, I try my hardest to write platonic fics myself and thought I’d share my writing in case you were still looking or are interested.

I go by DragonSkittles99 on AO3 and the fic I have up currently is for Lego Ninjago. It’s called “Dragon Battery and Vision Attacks” if you haven’t seen Ninjago dragons rising it does contain spoilers fyi.

-I realize as I type this that it sounds like I’m self promoting but I promise I’m not 😭 I just wanted to tag a fellow aroace out there who appreciates fics like I do!- I’d even love to collaborate or do a suggestion fic by you depending on the fandom. Brainstorming platonic led plots are so fun 🤩!!

Anyways hope you have a nice day 👍 ☺️

Hello my fellow platonic lover and sorry for the late response 😅

I’ve never seen Lego Ninjago, personally, but I’ll post this in case any of my followers have!

Also mood about ignoring or skipping romantic subplots 😂 i just rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist and have to force myself to disassociate during the like 5 awkward romantic moments lmao. I’ve been GORGING myself all the family fan fictions but god damn Canon couples are the BANE of my existence bc people don’t feel the need to tag them in fics when they’re not the focus 😭 like please just warn me that you’re gonna contain references to romance so I can mentally prepare myself.

Anyways you’re welcome to talk to me about platonic/familial stuff! I come up with SO many story ideas for every fandom I’m in, but very rarely do they make it to creation bc I’m nothing if not a hopeless autistic with adhd who can’t finish anything ever

I have absolutely nothing against shipping, it just isn’t my cup of tea, the way some people don’t like angst or gore. Even when I do ship, it’s in a very queer-platonic way that doesn’t fit up with the vibes of an average slash fic.

I just wish there was as much content for me to enjoy as there is for other people. I get bitter about how easy it is for shippers

It hardly even matters when I switch hyperfixations because it’s the same in every fandom. I can be watching “The Friendship Show” all about Mr. Friendship and his relationship to his 10 platonic best friends, where the overarching theme is how important friendship is, through out all their fun platonic adventures. but the fandom is still 90% romantic.

God I fucking love Oda.

This man is the only person I trust, the light of my life, Oda would never betray me.

This man has endured 20+ years of people bugging him to put romance in one piece or give Luffy a love interest despite his consistent stance that romance was never going to be a part of one piece because he prefers friendship/family dynamics.

I hope Oda knows that all the friendship/found family girlies and the romance averse people and the AroAce’s all owe him our lives

Some misc. Hunters for the soul

Ignore the one where he’s standing in the rain. I briefly forgot that rain in the demon realm boils. I just wanted to draw wet fabric lmao

Old sketch lol

It’s fairly common for AroAce people to misidentify as bi/pan

because how you meant to figure out attraction when you don’t actually experience it lol. You’re told you feel attraction, you pick the feeling that sounds like what they’re describing, you assume it’s the same thing, then 20 years later you find out it’s actually infatuation which turns out is not synonymous with attraction and can be felt towards all different people other than crushes/romantic partners, including but not limited to: new friends, best friends, people you want to be friends with, favorite characters, celebrities, etc.

Just to be clear, this isn’t meant as bi erasure.
