Still trying to get familiar with them. Haven’t used DA in years and never even touched FA before. It does act as an excuse to beg for attention with my old art though so it’s not all bad :p
Sorry about that, started using ‘banthatic’ to be more distinguishable (vs Starwars bantha)
That being said I’ll be ing old stuff on DA/FA for a few more days. You can probably assume anything posted this week is already here.

I posted a forum discussion about this, but I had a hard time finding the artist’s tag because their current name is different from what they originally used, and I couldn’t find the name they originally used.
@EyeGuy
Bantha started posting all his (her?) old art at deviantART which is why theres so many recent dupes. Next time you could just search with the tags. this picture for example use artist:bantha, rainbow dash. That would narrow it down. Use the bath tag and it will further narrow it down.
@HunterSClopson
Huh. For the sake of the university you attended, I’d advise you to not holding a degree in English/Philosophy anymore. You managed to be entirely wrong about a very simple concept in your field of study while acting like a pretentious child the entire time.
I was using the word in the sense of the Four Types of Love. As in, the Philiac kind, between close friends who care for each other. It’s distinct from Eros, or Romantic love. Typically regular shipping implies the Romantic type of love, while friendshipping implies the friend-type love (although it’s preferable for a love to go from the latter to the former).
I’m sure it’s just because I don’t ship this ship.
@HunterSClopson
The definition I copypasted was from the Oxford Dictionary, smartass. Maybe you should inform them they’re wrong? All my life I and everyone around me understood “platonic” as “not sexual”. Romance can be platonic. Have you not heard the expression “platonic love”?
@qorl
It’s not exactly smart to copy/paste the first thing you see when you Google-search the word “platonic”, genius.
platonic
adjective pla·ton·ic \plə-ˈtä-nik, plā-\
of, relating to, or having a close relationship in which there is no romance or sex
capitalized : of, relating to, or characteristic of Plato or Platonism (which, of note, Plato had a very loose definition of the concept of love, as did most Greeks at the time, when love was considered to extend as far as a strong friendship, such as that between two soldiers fighting with each other in the same army, a love between a student and a teacher or a love between a father and son)
2
a : relating to or based on platonic love; also : experiencing or professing platonic love
b : of, relating to, or being a relationship marked by the absence of romance or sex
@qorl
Wrong. Shipping (which slash is an offshoot of when it’s related to a fandom) does imply romance, sexual or otherwise. Thus, platonic (purely a close friendship relationship) relationships isn’t a ship by definition.
I mean, you could bring up the whole “friendshipping” aspect, but that just complicates things.

How’s dA and FA working out for you btw?

It is sometimes confusing when artists use the same name but with slight differences to it.
I posted a forum discussion about this, but I had a hard time finding the artist’s tag because their current name is different from what they originally used, and I couldn’t find the name they originally used.

Oh, wait. Never mind. It was a DIFFERENT image by the artist that I used reverse search on.
But still, how was I supposed to know this art was old? I was browsing deviantART, and this was just posted today!

Now, stop being stubborn and stop arguing with the guy who majored in English and minored in Classical Philosophy. Off-topicness officially stops now.
platonic
pləˈtɒnɪk/
adjective
(of love or friendship) intimate and affectionate but not sexual.
You were saying?

N…no? Slash can’t be platonic but shipping can. Shipping doesn’t have to be sexual.
Nah, that’s kind of an oxymoron.
You deserve it, I’ll suggest it.
Platonic shipping is still shipping
