Hey! I don't mind at all. I think that my definition of romance is a bit weird. Traditional romance has a big emphasis on the physical part, which does not attract me at all. I think that the ideal romance is actually much like the ideal friendship. Once I read that gestures can never be defined as platonic or romantic, because it depends on the intentions of the people involved. A kiss could be completely platonic, and hands brushing could be insanely romantic. But outsiders can never know.

Untraditional romance, to me, means they have romantic feelings for each other, but never advance on the physical part. Such as a couple who doesn't kiss, for example.

Explaining this is hard, and it's not a one size fits all. But I've seen that, in fiction and in real life, they start out different.

Romance start out with an interest in some specific part of the person, be it their hair, their smile, their kindness, their intelligence. Friendship starts with a respect for the other person's bring, while also being a desire to be like.

I am a firm believer that, if you don't think your friends are some of the best people you'll ever meet, you have the wrong friends. They are supposed to be counsellors, confidants, partners and role models.

A romantic relationship has less pressure. They are supposed to maintain the connection, and that's it. It's rare to see people making their partners their role models. Perhaps an inspiration, but not a role model. That is usually reserved for platonic relationships.

I see a lot of potential in Sherlock and Liam for both directions. While I do ship them, I also think they would be a great friendship. This confusion of mine blends into the romance, because while I can see them having a traditional romance, it doesn't seem very... them, if you know what I mean.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense to you, but it's the best explanation I can give.

platonic sherliam shipper?

Yes, most definitely! I can see the potential of them as a romantic ship, I just get easily bored with romances.

Actually, this makes me curious, just how weird it really is within this fandom? Is there anyone else? I feel like most of the posts I see around are about romantic sherliam, and... well, it's fine :) But I would love to add my platonic perspective to the mix, maybe even finally sit myself to write fanfics that reside in my head.

Thanks for the ask!

A turn for the best for the world, a turn for the worst for his mental health.

Liam is talking about his past Liam: I guess it was that day I came home to a cold, empty house, devoid of light and love, and I knew then that my sorrows would only grow. Sherlock: Liam, this is the saddest life story I have ever heard! And you haven't even covered the teen years! Billy: Oh, I'm sure it gets better! Liam: No, at eleven, things really took a turn for the worst. It all started when I murdered my foster family-

OMG someone help me I forgot how to breathe dear God help me please I need this I need this I need -

How does Louis celebrate his birthday:

He doesn't want to make a big fuss about it. He and Liam lived in the streets for quite some time, so he's used to not celebrating.

Albert won't let it slide.

He always gets the coolest celebrations every year.

Sometimes it's just him and his brothers, sometimes it's Moran and Fred too, and sometime it's just him.

He stopped celebrating his birthday after The Final Problem. It was meaningless.

He gets all sorts of things for his birthday.

But one thing is never missing from the list of gifts:

A bouquet of flowers.

Specifically azaleas, his favourites.

It's also the symbol used for him in the Morigang's flower code.

Why? Because azaleas symbolize family and unity.

Fitting for the foundational stone of the family.

The ever dependable one.

Sometimes people ask for favors in his birthday. He always complies. William wouldn't like him if he didn't. Though it would be nice to get a favor done for him.

Fred invites him to pets his cats, Moneypenny brews tea for him, Jack takes care of cleaning and Bonde takes him out to dinner.

Maybe his birthdays aren't meaningless, even without his own brothers around to celebrate.
