3 is a magic number

Why compare apples and oranges when you could make fruit salad?

Maybe you fell in love with two people at once. Maybe you were already in an open relationship when someone new came along. Maybe you and a partner grew close to a friend and everyone saw this OT3 coming. However you got here, it’s time to un-complicate things or make it official because this thing between the three of you cannot be ignored.

After all, a triangle is supposed to be one of the strongest forms, capable of holding its shape while providing immense balance and support. Aw.

It’s a polyshipping meme. Here’s how it works.

I would happily offer Ben for this - my only hesitation being that I am a monumentally slow tagger (as you already know, I'm so sorry). I can try to maintain at least one tag a day, but I understand if that's not the pace you want to go.

Hey! <3 Don't worry at all about backtagging. We're both epically busy at times and we've stretched games for ages by tagging only once or twice a day, so that's no issue at all. And I loved your Ben, playing with you has been a pleasure! So glad you're interested in trying this! <3

I'm guessing it would be something post TRoS? Maybe there's stablished Rey/Poe and the fact that there's no denying the connection between Rey and Ben? And little by little Poe can grow fond of Ben too...

Haha, it's good to know that I'm in good company, then. I'm just very tired and struggling to help my kid struggle through remote learning, so by the time I actually have time to myself, I usually just go to bed. Adult life, it's so great. But yes, I am all about that backtagging life, so that totally works for me.

The good and bad thing is - I love angst. So I would more than happily put Ben in a position where he wants very much to be with Rey but also doesn't want to put himself in the way of her relationship with Poe. So he'd step away and pine like an idiot because that's just the way he is.

He'll join the fold, it just might take little steps to get him there.

Sending you much love and hope things get better soon. I don't have kids myself, but I know the monumental work you guys have in your hands specially these days. Real life is first, RP should be fun. So go adult as much as you need and we'll be here whenever you have time to chill for a bit. <3

And give me allll the angst! It's going to be real fun to deal with these three idiots and slowly build things into a relationship.

Should we set up a game in a personal journal?

Thank you! Kid only has two months left this year so I'm hoping he finally gets on the right track and just gets stuff done. This whole year has been tough, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel if he can just hang on. I'm doing my best to supportive but it is difficult at time.

But yes, I'm all for inflicting angst on this idiot as a form of my own relaxation, lmao.

Yesssss, please. Just link me to wherever it is located and I'll be there. No hurries, of course.

I imagine how hard and how frustrating it must be for you two. Hang on, like you said its almost there. Hopefully soon with all the improvements we've been seeing the situation gets better and things can go back to at least the closest we can to what used to be 'normal'.

I can't do much from this side of the net other than sending you the tightest of hugs, offering an ear if you ever want to vent and yes, providing all the angst I can (which is also a win-win for me XD). But no, seriously, if you ever need to talk feel free to PM me!

I'll set up something in Rey's journal today and link you!

We're doing our best, but it is a struggle at the best of times. Spring Break started today, and I think that will give us a nice break for the next week. My plan is to, uh, write, but we'll see how well that plan works out for me. But yeah, this new normal has been rough for the kid, so I hope that he can get back to something more resembling the normal he had before. I'm pretty much not doing anything out of the ordinary except wear a mask when I go out, so it's not that different.

I will happily accept internet hugs, the offer of a shoulder A N D hurting this idiot because he's too stubborn to realize that he can have good things, too. <3

I got the link! It's great! I'll reply when I can - hopefully after a nice nap after work today (fingers crossed).

I can imagine. A friend of mine has a six year old and is going through the same thing. Every break is a blessing. But yeah, we can only hope that with the vaccines and new developments things become easier and easier, even if these seems like little steps at the time.

And promise you can have these hugs, this shoulder and the chance to vent any time you need it! They're only a message away! <3 And yesss, all the angst and fluff as needed!

Rest as much as you need! Think of yourself first!

I've literally spent all year telling this child's teachers that I'm trying to set him on the right path, and as of yet, we have not been successful with it. But I'd much rather him stay home than put himself at risk for getting sick. It's bad enough that I can't work from home. Still, I'm hopeful that we're able to get vaccinated soon so that we can go out and do some things again. I'm pretty sure he's dying to see anyone other than me at this point, lol.

Thank you, I appreciate it. And the offer goes both ways. I may not always have advice, but I think I'm a pretty good listener regardless.

Okay! Making an attempt to reply to your starter now!

As a slow tagger who's about to get drowned in work for a couple of weeks, I'm more than okay with that!

Yes, goooooood. I'm afraid my boomerang days are far behind me at this point, but I will most assuredly backtag into forever if there is interest in doing so. :0D

(Also, I hope work doesn't eat you!)

Boomerang days, staying up past midnight tagging days... Hell, I'm lucky if I manage to function past ten most nights...

(Work is undoubtedly going to chew me up and spit me out again - getting my students back after two months of lockdown. Its going to be chaos.)

I force myself to stay awake so that I don't 'miss anything' but it's to my detriment knowing that I have to wake up early every morning. Adult life tho.

(FINGERS CROSSED YOU ALL SURVIVE!)

I've never been able to force myself to stay awake. I either just pass out in weird positions or I start talking/typing complete gibberish. Its a sad thing when even going bed isn't actually adulting but the body putting itself into power saver mode.

If I were a smarter person, I'd listen to my body when it told me 'hey, idiot, go to bed', but then I'd be asleep by 8 and up at 4 and it would be equally as miserable. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground between too much and not enough. *sobs*

My child is currently on Spring Break - thank God - so I'm going to try to get as much writing done as possible. We'll see how that works out.

Don't listen to your body, when it comes to sleep your body definitely lies. Mine frequently tells me at 8pm I'm shattered, I think I'll stick it out to 10 as that seems a reasonable time to sleep, then it gets to 10 and I'm suddenly wide awake. Go figure.

Ah, lucky! I've got three more weeks until the Easter holiday. Can't wait...

And the worst part is when you hit a certain age, there's like no happy medium. If you sleep too little, you pay for it. But if you sleep too much, you pay for it, too! It's annoying, to say the least, but I'm trying to navigate it as successfully as possible.

Three weeks! You can make it!

Most of the schools here are reopening starting Monday, but since I chose to continue remote learning, he'll still be at home, only his schedule will change drastically since he'll now be doing his classes in the afternoons on M,T, Th & Friday and all day on Wednesday. For the past year, he's only had to log in for attendance on Wednesday. That'll be a little bit of a rude awakening, but I'm hopeful the new schedule won't mess him up too much. Fingers crossed, anyway.

Okay! Replying to starter now. :0D
