#ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN STILL -- including NOTHING happening if that's what they decide akjshj. but personally?? i am now rooting for them

[velvetineblue]

🚢 ( sending this in!! for suki 🥲 )

do i ship our characters together?: yes | no | not yet but maybe soon ( i am PRETTY sure they would work very well as a romantic ship (for tai at least), because i love suki & tai's dynamic as friends!!! and for tai, all potential romantic partners have to also be his friend. above all else, even. for him, a partner is very much just like a Best Friend with some extra ( mostly less important ) 'benefits' on the side, lmao. ... bUT there's always that small chance we try it and they're like 'naaaaah'. idk. characters are weird and have minds and hearts of their own, lmao. )

would i like to ship with you?: yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S FRANKLY A TRAVESTY THAT WE DO NOT ALREADY WRITE A (romantic) SHIP lmao. but I also completely get it and respect it, because neither of us want to force anything that feels ooc!! < 3 | maybe, i'm willing to try | no

type of relationship i could see: ( meaning these are the types i could see writing riGHT NOW... others? possibly later ehehe. ) childhood or high school sweethearts | exes | engaged | married | long-term relationship | crushes | unrequited love | fling | long distance ( i mostly checked this one because... sure... why not. KJAHDJHSH it could be long distance in the sense that he does travel a lot in the verses where he and Suki interact, and also?? i could potentially see it being a way that they slowly realize they have feelings for each other, because they realize they miss each other when apart... and if they were crushing or dating while apart, I think that would almost kind of give them time to get used to the idea of like 'omg wait do i have roMANTIC feelings for this person?!?! O SHIT--' lmao because they've been platonic friends for so long, lmao. IDK!! it's just a possibility/hypothetical/thought, heh. ) | online relationship | just dating I don't think Suki is the casual dating type, if I understood posts about her feelings on romance correctly?? and I know Tai wouldn't want to 'casually' date her. he already feels somewhat 'close' to her... like they're not EXTREMELY emotionally intimate, but he feels a certain close-ness with her: being that they're long-term friends... so it would be really really hard for him to keep a 'casual' relationship with her... if that makes sense ??? if their friendship is more than casual, then so too would be their romantic relationship, I guess is kind of another way to put it?? lmao, idk... but yea-- it's much more likely that if he realized he has romantic feelings, he'd want to DATE-date her. not necessarily jumping head-first into something SERIOUS-- just that he wouldn't treat her like a 'coffee dates, lets get to know each other, while still exploring our options' kinda thing, YOU KNOW??? if he gets with suki, he's WITH suki and committed to it and committed to making it work, I think!! | new relationship | toxic lovers | friends with benefits I think he would get too emotionally attached to be fwb. aksjjk. so I mean, technically yes they could be this, for awhile..... but it would end up with him almost-certainly wanting more 😭😭 akjdajj that could be kind of an interesting, messy plot, too, tho-- SO SURE, WHY NOT CHECK THAT ONE ALSO AKJDHAJKJ

tropes i'd enjoy writing for them: friends to lovers | enemies to lovers ( only enemies when it comes to crocs..... even then, Tai is pretty much an ally to the crocs Cause-- Suki just doesn't feel he's doing ENOUGH for the cause, I think adxkjahsjkj ) | exes to lovers | fake relationship / dating | forbidden love | grumpy and sunshine neither is consistently grumpy enough for that, are they?? lmao | star-crossed lovers | surprise pregnancy | second chance | soulmates | amnesia / mistaken identity | forced proximity | secret relationship ( idk why they would have to be a secret. I can't think of any reason tai would have to keep suki a secret lmao. but idk-- the idea just sounded kinda interested. if she wants a secret bf... he's down aksjaj ) | slow burn relationship

would i rather plot first or jump right in and see where it goes?: develop their relationship first | jump right in | something in between ( I'm pretty much open for any of those!! I'm definitely intrigued by the idea of Suki/Tai now hehe. they have a good amount of development, and I think they've always had really good chemistry!!

what now?: let's plot something | send me shippy memes | i'll send you shippy memes | write me a random starter | i'll write you a random starter ( I'm not in a random-unplotted-starter-creating mode at the moment 😭 akdjhakj but I'm sure I can come up with some eventually!! : D at the moment, though, my brain just isn't cooperating with the idea lmao. I could reply to anything tho !! :3 )

anything else i want you to know about me / my character / my shipping habits: I still love the idea of them living in the same apartment building, if you're still okay with that ! : D so so many cute and fun scenarios can come from that, hehehe
