i definitely agree with your stance on daichi and ushijima don't really get jealous, but do you think there's any highly specific and potentially weird scenarios where they would feel jealous?? i just find the concept of a character not jealous in most common jealousy scenarios, getting bothered by something weird and unexpected, to be funny

Now THIS is a fun question!! And of COURSE I do. I actually think both characters have a really high capacity for jealousy, just not in the usual way. I think both characters have a really strong sense of self and respect for their partners (in my case, I mostly ship Daisuga/Ushiten but this is not specific to those partners.) what I specifically don't see either of them bothered by is someone flirting with or confessing to their partner, because to feel jealousy in those scenarios would require them to think their partners might want that person, or choose to leave them, and I don't think either character leans that way for self-consciousness. So they don't experience jealousy if their partner gets hit on or is the centre of attention.

NOW that still leaves a ton of open room to explore jealousy in other ways...

Ushijima is easier to do so I'll start with him, which is that I think he experiences jealousy more-so when combined with feeling "left out" of certain social situations. I've always imagined Tendou as being pretty on-top of making sure Ushijima feels included in conversations and to explain any references he might not get, but as a result circumstances that arrive that might distract or take his attention away I think can lead to Ushijima feeling quite bothered. Specifically if you can imagine a sort of social hang-out, where Tendou has been distracted into a circle of gossip or conversation and Ushijima finds himself on the outskirts of it, not quite understand what the hell they're talking about and not having a way in, I can imagine him getting first a little bit sulky about it - (well I'll just go stand over here and pet this dog then fine) and while I imagine him have a decently long battery life on his sulking, he can sit and pet that dog for like an a hour and a half, I do think it would eventually bubble up into annoyance or anger and I think the most like... Irrationally jealous behaviour he'd exhibit is making up excuses to leave social functions (and take his partner with him) now because this stems from a need for attention, I think this "we're leaving now attitude" is probably quickly smoothed over by Ushijima immediately trying to smother the other in affection and spend quality time together so it probably often comes across as him having suddenly just had a sudden bought of amore for his partner and wanting to leave the party right now, but in reality he was just tired of other people making him laugh. It's important to note here that I think this is specifically non-romantic. It's much more focused on the attention and friendship aspect of it, where he perceives Tendou as his best friend and behaviour that doesn't align with that freaks him out. This can also happen in smaller social settings. If Tendou runs into someone he knows on the street and accidentally leaves Ushijima to kick rocks for 20 minutes eventually Ushijima will, in fact, become remarkably clingy and start making up excuses for why they need to keep moving actually. Now obv. Other people might have a similar reaction due to annoyance, but I think in Ushijima's case it really is the same kind of jealous others get over romantic rivals.

This one is WAY more specific and weird but I think Ushijima also gets jealous over the way other people have saved Tendou (or insert partner of choice) into their phone contacts. I feel like if he looks over and sees a classmate has a silly inside joke contact name for him his brain just starts mentally inflicting curses upon that person.

Okay, onto my main bitch Daichi. What's interesting is that I reallllly don't see him as a jealous type, so I am struggling a bit to think of scenarios it would come out in. He's really, really dense and not super self-aware so it's hard for him to even identify situations in which he should feel jealous.

I think one of them is if someone is getting complimented for something he can also do, or has done. Like if Suga sees someone at a game and goes "oh, that's player X from that school! I heard their defense is phenomenal, they can dig anything!" daichi's just like "yeah and??? Yeah thats not hard. Thats not special. What about it? What about it makes that interesting suga???" Like he's totally chill if Suga compliments other things that he doesn't have any hand in. Suga can rave all about how gorgeous and hot this girl he saw was and Daichi doesn't give a fuck but the moment Suga says "Man I met this guy at the park who had the most well trained dog ever, it could do so many tricks!" daichi's brain just fries and he goes "that's basic dog care don't be impressed by that guy." EVEN THOUGH Daichi specifically would like Suga to be impressed by those traits (in himself) his go to is to say "none of that shit is impressive actually so"

On this vein I think he's specifically jealous of family members as well. He has a massive family and Suga simply cannot express admiration of anyone. "How your cousin is literally the prettiest! And so sweet too." "Yeah well when she was thirteen she stole some gum from a convenience store so she's basically a criminal." "..." Its unclear if this is even specifically romantic jealousy or just generally "people who look like me should not be admired by the Boy Who Says He's Attracted To How I Look."

I think he would also get jealous not just of his partner, but any friends who do a work out or exercise without him? I feel like he has a pretty set morning workout routine and he's always inviting people along and they also say no, so when someone's like "haha yeah I recently got into doing morning jogs" Daichi gets irrationally jealous like "without me? Without me, huh? Even those I spent the last year inviting you on morning runs? Yeah ok." Yeah on that vein, finding out that people didn't ask him for him on something would make him jealous. "Oh you didn't call me to help you repair that fence? You called your uncle? Oh okay I see how it is." People simply cannot explain to him that they simply did not want to ask him to do free labour. He wants so badly to be everyone's handyman. I think this is especially relevant for a partner that he doesn't live with, or any of the first years post timeskip. Daichi calling up Yamaguchi like "hey I heard your car broke down yesterday and you didn't call me for help???" And Yamaguchi's like "i called a tow truck????" And Daichi's just "hm ok......"

I think off the top of my head that's all I got. This was really fun to do I liked creating these little snippets :)

I should add an addendum that these are specifically about them being in stable romantic relationships, not generalized jealousy. Obv in circumstances they don't have their partner locked down they might have more romantically jealous tendencies.

I am not normal about sentryagent. Not normal at all. So naturally I have to talk about it.

I am protecting, like, two specific mutuals when I say this:

Spoilers for Thunderbolts* below the cut.

(You know who you are.)

I knew I was gone for this ship when, in the Void, John is the first person (after Yelena) to free himself to get to Bob. And he does it on his own (not to minimize Yelena's efforts at all, she is amazing and deserves nothing but praise). He's a hero, this is what heroes do, but he also deeply recognizes Bob's pain. I'd also reckon that John felt seen in the vault when Bob saw his memory, especially because Bob doesn't use it against him or belittle him for it. This is such a powerful connection with the potential to be profound.

And fucking toxic, which I adore.

I just commented on a fic how much I love "your trauma triggers my trauma." It's heartbreaking and so real and yet lovely because two people trying to make a relationship work despite the pain they are both enduring and causing is a sight to behold. (Only in fiction. In real life, this is far more complicated, so don't model your relationships after fiction.) Specifically, there's a dangerous power in pairing a child abuse victim with a neglectful and estranged father, and I love it.

More angst potential: the two of them being failed projects of Valentina's. She made them each believe they were special so she could manipulate them into being the perfect hero/soldier that she could take credit for. And when they failed, she tried to dispose of them. That's gotta hurt, to want nothing more than to be seen and have the one person who saw you deem you unworthy. In fact, the entire point of the film is about overcoming shame and hurt through connection, soooo all I'm saying is pairing the two people with similar scars is delectable.

For fun, I also want to imagine a kink awakening in John from being so easily handled by Sentry. John's used to being one of the strongest people in his immediate vicinity, so being so easily tossed around has to be humiliating — and exciting. Plus he clings to that bent shield, maybe he likes the reminder of that one time he was powerless. (And then imagine his frustration with Bob because he can't tap into that strength again. Angst 👏🏾 potential 👏🏾)

Hell, talk to me about drug use. Former meth addict x guy with perpetual roid rage? Sign me the fuck up. I'm being reductive for comedic effect, but in all seriousness, this is an untapped market. One of the key differences between John Walker and Steve Rogers (in my analysis) is that John actually saw combat prior to going through the super soldier program. He has untreated PTSD that he manages by being obedient in belief that he's serving a higher cause. I can't imagine that a drug that had only been used on three people (successfully) prior would have been good for his mental health, not that Valentina cared.

Let's throw mental health in there, too, since that's also a key theme in the film. I found it pretty clear in Falcon and the Winter Soldier that John has PTSD, which makes sense. And though it's never said explicitly, Bob probably has bipolar disorder, based on how he explains his extreme highs and lows. That might even be connected to why he's able to flip from all-powerful Sentry to the unending darkness that is the Void — it's a physical manifestation of manic and depressive states. So please let's play with thisssss.

Recommend me fics with any combination of these themes and I'll love you forever. Please and thank you!!

I diagnose the Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld gang with QPR (queer-platonic relationship). It is so blatant and I love them so much.

Jentry-Michael: childhood best friends who haven't seen each other for half their lives after one of them accidentally burned down half the town (including her best friend’s home) with her magical fire powers and got sent away to Korea. Hit it off like nothing ever happened the day Jentry gets back in town. Gugu teases her about him because Jentry is not subtle at all. Protagonist girl x stereotypical love interest boy. Get to bond over being pressured to be someone they’re not by parental figures and being lied to about their powers. He dreams about her at night. (Don’t worry it’s not creepy.) She nearly kills him while he’s at work. Dating life stop-starts like 5 times because of shenanigans and poor communication and also maybe because their relationship isn’t meant to be romantic in nature.

Jentry-Kit: shapeshifter-adjacent demon who stalks, flirts with, seduces, lies to, threatens, and makes and wears a skin-suit of his mark only to fold after one (1) conversation, when she suggests he already has a soul, because he is that desperate for love and validation. Oh, and he’s working for the main villain who killed her parents, her great-aunt, and is actively trying to kill her. Protagonist girl x cool aloof bad boy love interest. Get to bond over being manipulated into fighting their authority figures’ feud/war. Lowkey is responsible for her almost killing stereotypical love interest boy. One kiss is enough to make him crash out when she rejects his advances afterwards. He falls for the oldest trick in the book, which is falling for your mark. He nearly dies distracting Cheng so that she can save the day (fuck you canon; you can’t take him away from me). He does this by wearing his Jentry skin-suit. They share the most homoerotically-charged scene in a TV-PG show while he’s building and putting on said skin-suit. Him nearly stealing her qi is so intimate and also please don’t do that without her consent sir 💀.

Michael-Kit: did you not SEE episode 5? They’re the nastiest parallels to ever parallel, to the point that their narrative energy warps reality and makes the lunch lady go on a comically direct lecture about how they need to choose for themselves what they want. This lecture is somehow about their identity issues and entire life’s course, and also about what they want for lunch. It is entirely unprompted. Kit nearly got him killed at work. They’re two-thirds of a love triangle, and a triangle can only be a triangle if it has 3 sides. (You get what I’m saying?) They were brothers-in-arms at the Alamo. They’re both incapable of not lying. Michael dreams about him the same number of times he dreams about Jentry. (Don’t worry it’s still not creepy.) They somehow avoid the stereotypical “high school love triangle drama” plot points between the two of them only because they’re busy fucking up their relationships in even bigger ways. Oh, and he prom-posed to Kit.

Michael-Stella: walking cliche of the high school “it” couple that was doomed the moment they set foot on the show. They were going to go to college together ffs. They dodge love triangle cliches regarding Jentry because they both think she’s that cool. She makes him protein bars. (Which suck, but it’s the thought that counts.) Football player x comphet lesbian. No seriously, she’s the most comphet lesbian to ever comphet lesbian.  They have cliche “romantic chemistry”, but then they break up because he lies to her about wanting to be a shitty flute player over a superstar wide receiver recruit (except it’s not really a lie, but also it is), and they move over the “awkward exes” period and are much better characters and friends. He dreams about her at night as well. (Again, still not creepy.)

Jentry-Stella: the girliest girl friend duo in the world. Stella helps her adjust to a new school in a way that is so nice and sweet that it’s one of the more unrealistic parts of the show. They have a scene in Stella’s bedroom. Their male love interests fumble them at roughly the same time, and then they do spirit week together and are having the time of their lives. She braids Jentry’s hair. They’re both so cool, but also so lame in their own ways. Also there’s no way Stella doesn’t have somewhat of a crush on her because 1) Jentry is that cool and pretty and awesome, and 2) Stella is a certified girl lover.

Kit-Stella: look they didn’t really interact in canon, but he’s on her shit list. She’s got her eye on him at all times, because Jentry may have forgiven him, but she’s watching out for her friend. She 100% gave him the shovel talk. Things get REALLY awkward if Jentry and/or Michael aren’t there, because these two are easily the weak link of the QPR.

Also all four of them are some form of queer.

Obasanegiyuu is so freaking funny to me because I imagine it's just Sanemi and Obanai complaining about Giyuu to each other and the complaints slowly going from "he acts like he thinks he's better than everyone" to "why is he so dark and mysterious all the time" to "he's got these infuriatingly gorgeous eyes like-"

And then one day they just look at each other and go oh shit

[nevertheless-moving]

thinking about how fucking impossible it would be to pine secretly after someone on roshar. Like even if we assume that passionspren are only summoned by the most intense love and/or horniness - that's almost worse isn't it? Because you wouldn't be able to laugh it off like 'haha just a passing thought. Whoops again? Hahaha oh I suppose I have a little crush'

Anyway Kaladin doing one of his canonical epic hero glowing stunts with his canonical destroyed/soaked clothing (what. the man is constantly avoiding shardblades and arrows by a hairsbreath and flying around In Highstorms. The only reason he would even have pants at the end of WOR after the everstorm/highstorm fight is because we're following comic book rules- there's no way this man isn't going through clothes faster than James T Kirk - even if he's not his uniform shirt is WHITE and -)

ANYWAY kaladin having one of his Protaganist Moments and like. There is less than than zero time between the 'Oh. Oh.' Moment and Eventual Feelings Reveal because blorbo B is very visibly displaying a personified manifestation of intense romantic adoration.

Getting back on my Zack Is Canonically Polyamorous soapbox because the people need to know and also the number of people accusing Aerith of being unfaithful in Rebirth is absolutely fucking ridiculous when taking Zack's romantic escapades into account.

There are spoilers here, and I'm tagging accordingly, but I'm not putting it under a cut.

We know for a fact that Zack is in a relationship with Aerith. We've known this since the OG, although we didn't know most of the details back then, just that they were together. In Remake, Aerith describes Zack as her "first love." In Chapter 11 of Rebirth, the first memories of Zack that Cloud reclaims are of him talking about how great Aerith is, and Cloud describes him as being "head over heels" for her. In Chapter 8, we found out that Zack's parents were able to recognize her based entirely on Zack gushing about her when he wrote home—and this is one of the most important parts, honestly.

Zack has a thing with Cissnei. We don't know how deep it is, but throughout Crisis Core (and even in the summer event in Ever Crisis) we can see very clearly that there is something between them, and it's never treated like a big deal. She's never completely honest about her feelings, so we can assume he didn't know that she saw him as anything more than a casual thing, but they have a relationship. It's made explicitly clear that this is the case when Zack returns to Gongaga and she lets him know that she's spoken to his parents, and he warns her that they're basically going to suggest that she marry him.

Zack's parents know about his relationship with Aerith and they also apparently know enough about his relationship with Cissnei to suggest that she make that relationship "official." They want her to join the family. They asked, she apparently reciprocated, and she lives in Gongaga after Veld is "killed."

Cissnei is also aware that Zack is in a relationship with Aerith, but that doesn't stop her from pursuing him anyway. She gets it and she's okay with it. She never, at any point, tries to push him away from Aerith—she's the one that tells him how special Aerith is, how important, how lonely. She's supportive of his relationship, and doesn't seem to feel that it makes her own feelings or their relationship any less valid.

Okay, so that's proof that the people around him are, at the very least, okay with him having multiple partners. That doesn't necessarily mean he's poly, though, maybe he's just a womanizer and everyone accepts it. Weird, but possible. He's really endearing so maybe they all give him a pass.

But no! No this isn't it at all! And we know it because of how Zack responds to Aerith being in love with someone else in Rebirth. When he finds out that Aerith is has feelings for Cloud, there's not a hint of jealousy in a single thing he does or says. He's disappointed when Marlene says it's because he wasn't there, but it's not disappointment in Aerith or in Cloud—it's disappointment in himself, because Marlene is right. He wasn't there. He couldn't protect her. There's also no spite there, he never responds like her feelings are wrong because he's here now and that means Aerith can rely on him again, and we know that because of how he responds to this information.

Zack finds out that Aerith has feelings for Cloud, and his immediate mission is to make sure that Cloud recovers as quickly as possible. Now it's not just for him, it's not just because that's his friend, it's because Aerith loves him (too) and that means he has to save Cloud for both of them.

He's fully supportive of Aerith and Cloud having a relationship, to the point that the last thing he says to Cloud when he gets thrown into a dying timeline is a request that he take care of Aerith. He's not exactly passing the torch here, because he's still alive—but he doesn't know if he'll be able to meet back up with a version of Cloud that is awake again, and he needs Cloud to know that he supports them in this.

And then, in the dying timeline where Zack is banished after fighting Sephiroth, he has the ability to synergize with Cloud from across the multiverse. The DMW limit break connected to Aerith is active in the space. All three of them are together here, just not physically; Cloud and Aerith are protecting Zack as much as Zack has been struggling to protect them.

Zack loves that Aerith loves someone other than him because that's how he is too. Zack has multiple relationships at the same time, he loves multiple people at the same time, he has emotionally intimate connections with multiple people at the same time. Why would he take issue with the love of his life feeling the same way?

Cloud isn't his replacement any more than Cissnei and Aerith are interchangeable, and Zack understands that, because Zack is polyamorous—and he's really happy that Aerith may be, too.
