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!

My characters, who were married for a solid 2 months of early drafting, suddenly revealing they are a lesbian woman and an aroace spec man who are very much not dating. I'm not even sure if they're friends but at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

I just think Albert's situation is funniest if he was pardoned by the Queen instead of refusing it and still insisted on turning the Tower of London into a hermitage and Mycroft got so tired of arguing about it, he let Albert move into a prison cell even though he's legally not even arrested.

It helps figure out why he just. Walked out. With William. And apparently no one had issue with it.

This is actually a very good analysis, and I fully agree. I really hope that they put more representation on the next part of the manga, but, to my own opinion of the writers, it'll probably just be making Sherliam half-canon and calling it a day. It would also be really cool to have more women in the story. I was reading some fanfic the other day, and realised that the Yuumori world is literally not meant for women, but I might expand on that in a later post.

YuuMori meta theory: why we didn’t get the story that was originally planned by the author - part 4

Hello everyone! This part is the longest up to date and will wrap up the main inconsistencies surrounding the characters in YuuMori, although there are definitely more to be seen. This post is also a beginning of sorts to pinpoint when the series really started to shift, but again, that is just my opinion; and you’re very welcome to share yours!

TL;DR: James Bond was not planned to be a trans man from the beginning and it really shows; not to mention that his writing is full of harmful stereotypes.
