Btw guys re: the poll, I'll tag stuff with a generic season 6 tag (probably "ml season 6") for those who want to avoid it all and I'll do spoiler tags as well for plot/episode content. Thanks for your feedback!

It’s actually insane how fandom in general has become so scared of making weird and dark and ugly works. Like I look at myself and see how I have also subconsciously adapted this instinct to self censor and make things “marketable” and it’s making me want to crawl out of my skin. I need to get weirder and worse and more off-putting hello

sometimes i wish i joined the bsd fandom a little earlier but then i imagine being there when the chapter that dazai was arrested drops, and having it be six years AND COUNTING of him still in that damn jail. and i appreciate that i joined during the s4/s5 high

So which DC duo would you assign to each one? :3 You can name any or all of them.

alright, i'm going to challenge myself by not repeating any characters as well >:)

Moon & Sun

(thank youuuuu to the DC wiki for making it easier for me to find screenshots!)

a classic pairing to start us off. Aiden has kinda moon-colored eyes, while James is wearing a bright yellow shirt. Aiden is more introverted and "cool," while James is more extroverted and "bright." it may be basic, but it works really well! (<- that's a good summary of jaiden's relationship, honestly.

Coffee & Tea

well, this one was definitely inspired by Kristal canonically having a personal espresso machine, haha. but, i think it also makes sense. Kristal has to always be full of energy-- to the point it can cause her to crash-- while Oliver is the warm and calming force in her life. and, at the end of the day, they're more similar than they are different, wanting to make a good show not at the cost of their employees' health, ingredients steeped in water.

Water & Fire

also inspired by Riya having the fire powers in the superhero episode! even though Grett is the one who actually had the water powers. but, trust me, Connor has enough associations with water to pull this off. first of all, he makes perfume, which is water-based. he also throws that perfume into the water in that one scene where he sees how far Riya's fallen. oh god, and being in the deep water is Riya's greatest fear, too! both Connor and water bring out Riya's weaknesses, and thus she wants to stay as far away from them as possible. and he has a go-with-the-flow attitude befitting of water, too. i'd elaborate on Riya's associations with fire, too, but i think those are a bit better known because of the superhero episode already.

Monochrome & Colorful

Tess was actually my first thought of who could be monochrome, before i realized that Hunter is actually even moreso. i guess Ally just likes to surround herself in people who like to wear black and white. that's kind of befitting of the other aspect of this dynamic too, though-- Ally is colorful because she's always focused on a million things all the time, while Hunter (and Tess) are more monochrome in their singular focus on one thing. in Hunter's case, that's making sure that Ally is okay. and winning challenges, i guess.

Fall & Spring

alright, so the association on this one is Ashley is like Applejack -> Applejack is associated with apple bucking picking -> apple picking is a fall activity. and then, Will wears a green shirt, which is spring enough for me. also, Ashley was born in November, and Will in March! i didn't consciously remember that when i assigned them this pairing, but clearly i was on to something if ONC agrees with me.

Vintage & Futuristic

well, i didn't have much to go off of for vintage other than... old, so Miriam winds up on vintage with her hip and young son figure representing the futuristic. he was in the space episode, alright? and he's worn some kinda sci-fi/video game inspired outfits in the greetings! Jake is totally futuristic!!!

Blue Hour & Golden Hour

this was the closest i could get to "grumpy & sunshine," which Derek and Trevor absolutely are.

Salty & Sweet

you really can't argue that Ellie isn't salty. and it's hard to say that Gabby isn't sweet, either.

that was really fun! :D i'm curious to know if you had any thoughts on which pairings would go where, and if we had any in common.

[liyazaki]

huh. whelp- that was- a show. yup. I can confidently, unequivocally say it was a show.

edit: I, erm- wrote a thing.

[airenyah]

everyone on here posting their theories about our skyy bad buddy and i'm stuck in the real world writing my bachelor thesis 😭😭😭

@dribs-and-drabbles i saw your tag and i looked at the post and now i'm forcing myself to NOT think about it bc i really really really need to write another 7000 words until the ep drops 😭😭😭 i hope i can join the fun a little later today 😭😭😭

[welcometogrouchland]

Sick in the head for the toh crew to have the b plot in elsewhere and elsewhen be clawthorne centric with new lore about them introduced when we didn't even know yet that it thematically connected with the wittebane centric a plot of that episode. Sick in the head
