Kae ~~ They/Them ~~ aromantic!!! ~~ self shipping blog! https://doing-science.carrd.co/ Proshippers DNI

Howdy! I'm Kae! My pronouns are They/them! I'm pretty new to self-shipping but I'm ready to have fun! I'll be working on this blog on and off, but I'm usually not super active. I always love receiving asks and messages though! I'm ok with sharing any of my f/os! Let me know if I interact with you and you aren't chill with sharing! 🫀

Majority of my ships are platonic except for a select few!

Right now I'm really into The Aquabats! My one queerplatonic/romantic F/O is Jimmy the Robot from the Super Show!

headcannon: Jimmy keeps stickers and lollipops and things in his lab because he has observed that human doctors usually give children lollipops for “being brave” and jimmy thinks his friends are brave, so if one of them gets injured, after he’s done fixing them he offers a sticker.

I can only imagine bones has a whole scrapbook of stickers

Robot/mechanical f/o who can't physically feel holding you tightly, maybe even just a little bit too much, out of a desperation to be able to truly feel your skin, touch and warmth, despite knowing it's not possible

To my fellow screen kissers: give that screen a big ol’ smooch right now! Do it! Give em a kiss!

ur rambling about something to your f/o when they stop responding, they get all doe-eyed and stare at you.

you stop talking and raise your eyebrows. "hellooo?" you ask, teasingly.

they blink a few times and grin. "sorry, you just look so pretty/handsome right now. carry on."

you just roll your eyes and continue tallking.

Imagine opening your phone to see that your f/o has taken a picture of themself.

Maybe they took the time to pose for it or maybe they took it by accident whilst trying to do something else and it's all blurred.

what I really like about all these vintage couple’s portraits is that there is a very certain romatic decorum kept up – certain themes and poses – which, while of course being the mainstream preferred view of couples repeated throughout many studios, are just… so nice to look at. 

this staged affection, a mix of theatricality and intimacy, the couple holding still for a couple of moments and now immortalised in a very set sequence of embraces and kisses. there is a charm to it even when I can’t tell whether this was a genuine couple portait or just actors hired by the photographer.

the kiss on the bare shoulder (eyes perfectly averted), the cheek caress, the piano and the violin, the interrupted embrace, the woman tilted back as in a half-stopped dance…

I simply must torment you a bit with these, let us see some of my personal favourites! (part one due to the image limit)

let us start with the kiss on the cheek (eyes averted! oh the pose! these were taken between 1910-1940)

or the nearly opposite energy (how daring!) of the kiss or caress with direct eye contact (1910-1930)

and then the innocent – yet so flirty – classic of the park encounter! (1890-1920)

and then the famed kiss on the bare shoulder – what an idea, what a vibe, such intimacy! (1910-1930)

and oh, I am not done, look at this – the adoration of the woman! look at this expression, this pose, this decorum! (1910-1940)

and then some of my favourites from the more playful or direct category, enjoy (1910-1930):

and, at last (thank you for still being here and witnessing my recent fascination with vintage polish photography) my three absolute favourites outside of any particular categories (1910-1930)

just look at her. just look.
