Celebrating Pride Month: What "Love Triangles" Would be Best Served by Becoming Polyamory?

[Winter]

Huh, actually on that theme I think Aang, Katara, and Zuko could actually be a winner. Aang's a busy guy, and if his wife wants to hook up occasionally with the old flame as a treat I think he'd give that a thumbs up when he's grown more mature and is more confident in himself.

Hm, you know that one might actually work as I could see Aang being open to the idea (he is an airbender after all freedom is kinda their whole thing) and it could REALLY benefit Aang's personal growth and even make me give a damn about Aang and Katara's relationship.

Not bad.

Got to admit I got a bit interested in that potential triad during the Dragon Dance episode. And that's speaking as somebody who has never been crazy about Zutara.

This is a unpopular but team JNPR from RWBY.

This is a unpopular but team JNPR from RWBY.

Is that pairing... grouping unpopular? If the series had gone in a different direction, it could have been a fun combo. Basically, two different hetero couples. But they're all so close, they'd pretty much end up in a foursome, anyway.

But of course that is why in real life there are very few polyandrous relationships that go beyond ''just for sex'' levels. Human beings just aren't wired for it - there will always be ''she's got bigger tits than me, he's got a bigger dong than me, she's showing him more attention'' etc. That is perhaps why you have no ''two men, one women'' examples because you know that most men just wouldn't allow their woman to be ploughed by another guy.

Have you got any research to back up that assertion?

Yep. Its called ''i'm a human being who has been in relationships with human beings, has met other human beings, was born by a human being and has interacted with other human beings.''

Human beings are a jealous, envious, selfish people by nature. It is written all over everything we do, including relationships. It is one of the reasons why altruistic ideologies like Communism for example could never happen in real life.

And you know what? If you're by surrounded by people who do not let off any of these vibes then hold onto them for dear life, my friend. You have found a real life group of Sesame Street friends.

You might want to pursue counseling or something because that is very much not normal or healthy. Maybe find better friends irl, sounds like the ones you have treat you like shit.

Well if we're going entirely by anecdotal evidence here, I've been in multiple polyamorous relationships and have not been jealous around the other guys involved. Jeesh man.

Well, that would Take care of the Ezri/Bashir/Garek situation (imo Garek being interested in Bashir is the second worst kept secret on that station).

[stryke]

Would have preffered if Bashir had just never ended up with Ezri leaving the way open for Garak. I always felt that was one of the more awkward parts of the end of the show in that it felt like they wanted to let Bashir finally have a Dax as a reward after pining after her so long. Certainly no Niles/Daphne in execution.

You had me at the Mary Jane and Black Cat with Peter, thing.

Though I'm not entirely sure that DC hasn't (probably unaware) made Kory, Dick, and Barbara canon. After all, he seems to routinely spend the night at both women's places without any of them seemingly objecting.

I did like the brief bit also where Harley was with Deadshot and Ivy simultaneously but that may have been due to DC panicking over a committed lesbian relationship.
