Nonsexual Romance Meme

[hydrates]

NONSEXUAL romance Romantic relationships, under most circumstances, have a sexual component to them. That's just another level of connection many desire with the one they love. Not so the case with you. You're with someone, and both of you very much acknowledge it's some sort of relationship, but you're not with-with them - not sexually. Whether you're just unexperienced and not ready to move to that level yet, believers in romantic friendship (or that situation is more convenient, given your time and place of residency), unable to consummate anything due to physiological differences or other issues, celibate, or simply content with the intimacy that you do have, it's a mutual decision...isn't it? But is this the way you two see yourselves continuing, without wanting more? And what about other people? If they know you're together, do they see your arrangement as "strange" or "less?" Even if they do, though, it may not matter; you have each other. Comment. You know the drill by now, folks! Reply to everyone and everybody. Be on the look out for a companion smut meme coming later tomorrow or so at TLH.

Alice/Pretender {} Transformers films

[fleshydisguise]

[Hello, I am an evil alien space robot masquerading as a human through cleverly applied nanites and other technobabble. Sex is unadvised. Perhaps we can talk about your world domination schemes or Rupaul's Drag Race.]

Wanda Maximoff | MCU | f/m

[can be CW compliant]

Carina | Guardians of the Galaxy

[unslaves]

[can AU as necessary, but she's very ace so this is perfect for her; also, f/f]

[fleshydisguise]

[Ace headcanons make me happy on principle, would Carina like a somewhat evil electively-female fashion-loving space robot to be ace with?]

[unslaves]

[Sure!]

[fleshydisguise]

She went by Alice on Earth, and hasn't had much motivation to switch it up since. 'Pretender' in organic-speak has the wrong connotations, less about super secret spy stuff and more about being an unreliable poster, and is hard for organics to pronounce in shrill Cybertronian. So it's Alice with skin and hair and constantly fabulous jewelry that changes with her whims, and no giant metal assholes watching over her shoulder to make sure she's doing a job she stopped caring about a thousand or so years ago.

Earth had been lovely, but there's so much out here that the Cybertronian race had never been interested in. So many people with so many different skins and clothes. Fantastic. When an ill-considered venture leaves her with a crushed arm Alice ventures out to Knowwhere looking for something to replace the dulled prosthesis she'd had welded onto her last month. The God Primus gave the Transformers life, makes sense that another God could at least help encourage living metal to regrow. Right?

[unslaves]

What she'll find first is no god but instead a slight pink girl, trained to act like a living mannequin. She approaches with hands joined, head tilted just slightly, and surveys the newcomer.

Nobody she was told to expect, certainly.

"Greetings," she says, a note of caution in her voice.

[suaveandspectral]

[Would she care for a friendly ghost who is sorta evil but not in the creepy way?]

[hismanfriday]

[I would love to thread with you. Any preference for when in their relationship this is?]

[favorisieren]

[No preference! I'm very interested in anything.]

[hismanfriday]

Mr. Jarvis was buzzing around Mr. Stark's California mansion more so than his normal habit. Mr. Stark was away in New York with Doctor Wilkes and the menagerie was being quieter than usual. Mr. Jarvis was fussing over things in the kitchen, albeit quietly, to not disturb his resting wife. She musn't awake so soon, he thought. Everything wasn't nearly in place.

Agent Washington | Red vs Blue | ota

[hatesimprovising]

[both m/m and m/f are fine. he's gray-ace. previously established ships work for me! especially with cross-canon. ]

Here goes

[stabilises]

Shore leave was generally the nights when they all went out together, but that didn't happen every time, obviously. The team had been splitting up more recently and while it didn't really bother North at this point, it was definitely something he was aware of.

And he'd kind of stopped going to the bars once he got Theta, anyway, since it tended to raise questions he wasn't really ready to answer. Instead he usually wandered the city or settled somewhere quiet.

At the moment, he was sitting on the beach, watching the waves roll in and talking to Theta about the adventure they'd had that day.

[hatesimprovising]

Shore leaves kind of sucked lately. Everyone split off, whereas they all used to hang around in a bar and have lots of fun, just talking and drinking. Wash misses those days. He'd gone to the bar on his own for a while, but he didn't drink anything, not finding it particularly fun without anyone else to drink with. So, once it became clear that he was bored and needed some company, he took to going for a walk outside, just in hopes that he might come across one of his teammates.

Fortunately, he didn't have to look too far, since as he passes the beach, his eyes settle on the man sitting in the sand. It's easily recognizable as North, which brings a faint smile to Wash's face. Altering his course, he leaves the street and walks out onto the beach quietly, staring out at the water as he moves. He only stops once he reaches North's side, and then he plops himself down into the sand beside him, sitting close enough that he can then casually lean against the other freelancer.

"Hey," he greets from where his head now rests on North's shoulder, his eyes still staring out at the water. "What're you doing out here?"

[infailtration]

"Waiting for me," York says as he comes up behind them. He and North had decided to skip the bar scene this leave, but he'd gone for drinks anyway. They needed the help unwinding. He leans over and sets a six pack in Wash's lap, then takes a seat on North's other side. "And three makes this a party." From the pocket of his cargos a fifth of whiskey appears and he opens it and takes a sip, then leans back on his elbows in the sand.

Remilia Scarlet | Touhou Project

[scarlet_devil]

[ Mentally, she is capable. Physically, though... Well, canon!Remi this time, so she kind of... abstains. ]

Scott Summers | X-men Age of Apocalypse | OTA

[amiexpelled]

Gentleman Ghost {} Batman: BatB {} M/F

[suaveandspectral]

[He's a ghost so that particular area of marital bliss is locked off to him, but he will steal you all the shiny objects. And then make you tea. Because he can't have physical intimacy but by golly he can and has broken the laws of ghost physics so he can drink tea.]

[dreamguardian]

[Here, have a renegade Nightmaren! Haven't wrapped my brain around how sexual relations would work with this character yet. However, they are more than capable of having strong emotional bonds and attachments with others. As a result, this meme is perfect. Some physical affection is okay (like snuggling for example), just not actual sex. :)

Here is a navigation post with some info for anyone that's curious!]

mikaela hyakuya → owari no seraph

[infatyuated]

[ canonically, mikaela is asexual because vampire bodies are essentially dead and they don't experience sexual desire. but they do long for romantic relationships. so hey, this works for him /o/ ]
