Platonic Love - Blog Posts

Thinking about forms of love again

life really is just letting yourself express love in a thousand different ways and letting yourself accept and experience love in a million other ways

love love love 🥰

Lily: we literally just met??

Remus: I would die for you.

Lily: .. (me too)

Adding to this, you should also be able to send flowers and candies and gifts to the people you love platonically without having people questioning your about it. Yes, I just gifted my best friend a bouquet of flowers. No, this does not mean I love them romantically.

‘You should only send hearts to ppl you’re romantically involved with’

WRONG! BOUNDLESS PLATONIC LOVE, WARMTH, AND ENTHUSIASM BE UPON YE!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

How do people not fall in love with their friends???? You're telling me the person that cares about you, that comforted and helped you back up on your feet at your worst, that knows all your dirtiest secrets but still looks into your eyes as if it's the first day of getting to know each other, and you'd say NO if they asked you to marry them???

Platonic love is so great. I'm obsessed with that shit.

What I would give for a good cuddle with the homies right now. Sadly, I have not the time nor the social ability to figure out a cuddle session of some sort. Always feels too weird to just be like; yo, wanna have some platonic cuddle time? Anyways, I am definitely very touch starved atm.

Quick! See if you can predict something actually fluffy happening!

ranboo: three years ago, i married my best friend :]

ranboo: tommy's still mad about it but me and tubbo were sleep deprived and thought it would be funny

love freely - E.C. - oct. 2020

If someone would ask what my biggest need is I'd say touch. By Lord, please, pplesse I need to be touched. Right now. And if they raise their eyebrows and eyes flicker to my chest I will commit arseny. I need fingers pressing against my elbow as you pass. I need a hand at my back. The quiet presence of my friend appearing behind me. I can lean back. They have me. They gave me.

I need eyes. Eyes that meet mine and mean something. I need love. And by God isn't that a way to simple word. I want my friend to watch me turn away with a small smile before they continue their conversation. I want to elicit a warm feeling in a chest. I want someone to hug me and not as a goodbye.I need care. I need sustenance. Require it. Need your hand on my arm and need you to say hey, it's okay. How about a little walk before we continue this work, hm?

the difference between romantic love and platonic love is mostly intent

I think people, women and girls especially, need to know that if you have a good thing going with another female friend, roomate, a cousin, a siblings, etc–then you don’t have to feel like marriage is like and endgame or something (if that makes sense). Ya know, lemme just make this girl centric. 

Let me clarify. I see a lot of girls having happy relationships with their sisters, cousins,best friends, roommates to the point where they’ve been living together for years and are comfortable with it. And becuase of that comfort with the girls they’re living with, a lot of women just end up wanting to live/stay with their roommates, best friends, sisters/cousins, etc., for the foreseeable future. 

And when a lot of girls bring this up, they’re met with “well one of you is gonna get married” or “no boy friend in the picture” or “well you can’t stay together forever/you can’t plan your lives around each other” or “what about if one of you gets a husband”

and like–seriously, just stop. when girls mention wanting to spend their lives with their boyfriends and shit, people don’t give them this much flack. girls are expected to pack up their lives to move with their boy friends/husbands.

but god forbid, two girls are just happy with each other, are in a place of comfort with the other that they wanna live together and spend their lives together (either romantic, familial or platonic), then people start to criticize them. So my point is, girls if you’re living with another girl and have been for years and you two are comfortable staying with each other and have basically spoken about just wanting to stay with each other, then do that. if this person makes you comfortable, makes you feel safe and happy, and supports you (whether romantic or not!) then do not let people ruin that bond or shame you for not getting married or being with a man or anything like that. like if you  have something good going, then keep the good going.

and this doesn’t have to be romantic (if it is that’s fine too!!).

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

Platonic love is so undervalued

It's the purest form of love to me

It's choosing to be around someone simply because you like their presence.

And what's more special than liking someone without expectations?

i know it’s been said time and time again in a thousand different ways, and I won’t really be contributing anything new to it, but people really do put too much emphasis on romantic love.

love to me is sending a post to a friend for a fandom that i’m not in because he’s in it and will find it funny. love is buying another dice set for my friend even though she already has over fifty because i know she loves them. love is hating your sibling, not wanting to see or speak to them, and yet you know you would do anything for them, all they have to do is say the word. love is getting a vaccine that you suspected would make you sick for minimum of forty eight hours and turning out to likely be seventy two or more because your mother’s immune system is shot from her chemo, and you don’t want to risk it. love is stepping away from work because your friend is having a mental health crisis and needs someone to talk to her for a little bit. love is making plans with friends, and making new plans when those fall through, even though if you had all met at your current stages of life, you wouldn’t be friends. love is when you look back at all of these and know with absolute certainty that you’d do it all over again. love is all of this and so much more, and I feel so lucky to live in a world with so much love in it.

I want some platonic love yk?

I don't need a bf or gf I just want a close friend who gets me

someone who is close and touchy but we both know there's nothing more to it

I want to love someone without worrying that they think I LOVE them like I don't want to date anyone I just want someone to share this life with

“‘You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake, say that you are not hurt!’ It was worth a wound -- it was worth many wounds -- to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.”

Narrative of John Watson

The Adventure of the Three Garridebs, Arthur Conan Doyle

“Watson. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.” - Sherlock Holmes (Adventure of the Creeping Man, Arthur Conan Doyle)

i don't know why but this quote just hits me in the feels. "if inconvenient, come all the same."

maybe love is about finding your way to each other even when it's inconvenient.

lovable

i always thought i was the luckiest person in the world

to have found the friends that i did

i never stopped to consider

that maybe i was capable of being loved

there are flowers on my bedside table

that she got me when i didnt get the job

a text telling me to drink water

and another asking how i'm feeling

after a nonverbal episode

walking laps around the school

to talk about whatever we want

and she hugs me at the end

a million i miss yous

and i love yous

good nights

good mornings

164 games of 8 ball on gamepigeon

and a lifetime of memories

maybe i am just lucky

but maybe they love me

because i love them

easy

its nice to love someone

but not be in love with them

it was hard when i liked her

every text, every emoji

carefully plotted to mean something

but now it's easy

we text for fun

i tell her she's pretty

she calls me babe

but there's no deeper yearning

no longing for a connection that isnt purely platonic

i used to like her

but now i like loving her

no strings attached

It feels special when someone holds your hand when you are walking in the dark.It feels as if you are the luckiest person of the earth. Infact ,it is lucky to have someone beside you, for you and with you when you are grinding in the dark-)RB

Tell your friends and family you love them!!!!!!

this is fucking real.

I will remove pieces of fuzz from your clothing, gemptly bite your cheek without using my teeth, nuzzle you and purr and coo after being separated for the unholy amount of time that is five minutes.

rb if your primary love language or one of your primary love languages is physical touch and has nothing to do with sex.

i mean physical touch like hand holding, picking the lint and hair off of each other’s clothing, hair ruffling, hugs, random high fives, etc.
