#Otp: tough love

My girl 1st day in S.T.A.R.S

I don't think Jayce and Viktor literally died. They were kind of pulled into another dimension/astral plane/whatever you call it. We see older Viktor, and while it could be another Viktor, I think it would be more meaningful if it was our Viktor, finally free from the arcane, going through the universe with Jayce, fixing timelines together. Kind of like a cosmic mission.

Rhaenys/Corlys and JiraTsu (and ShikaTema) are also my OTPs!😁 I like tough love, tsundere x geek, and enemies-to-lovers tropes!

WOW! 🤩 I’m always happy to find fellow people in the same boat as me (no pun intended).

I have so many more ships, but those are my main and most beloved ones. However, I must say I have to upgrade the info.

Have you watched “Bridgerton”? Kate/Anthony is a great enemies-to-lovers and tough love ship. And Vegebul from “Dragon Ball” ticks all the boxes! I recommend these two, if you haven’t taken notice of them yet 😚

Year of the OTP August Prompt: AU of your choice

The prompts for this month are kinda lame, so I chose to describe about this AU

Tough Love AU - This AU is basically stuff involving tainted shipping, but it's mainly couple/relationship antics with these two. Stuff that wouldn't fit in canon etc. it all goes in this AU.

also, hurray for SpongeBob memes

Happy Tuesday evening! Finally getting chance to get away from work and do something I want to do. This review ha Not a ton of Chenford but what they have is really good and its an excellent Lucy ep. We meet her mother who I like even less than her dad...

2x05 Tough Love

Ep starts off with Lucy complaining to Jackson about her dating life. She says its like Goldilocks. This one is too hot or too cold. Too frat bro or screen writer. How she’ll never find someone. Oh sweets just wait few more years you can do it haha it’ll be so worth it. Jackson’s reply is primo. ‘What you need is a grown man.’ Ain't that the truth....She does have one it's just they’re both just not ready yet LOL

They’re scrambling out the door when she opens it and there is Lucy’s mom…..As you remember I wasn’t fond of her dad. Now we get to meet her mom and get the other part of the puzzle piece. She tells Lucy how she and her father are getting a divorce. Lucy doesn’t look worried almost like this happens all the time. Her parents sound dysfunctional af. No wonder Lucy has the issues she does honestly.

She refuses to tell Lucy what happened or what’s going on. Completely dismissing Lucy and her questions. (Just like her father..) Off to a great start. Her mom stares at their couch and says how great it'll be for her back. Jackson gives up his room when Lucy offers a hotel room instead. She Looks like she wants to murder him for doing this baha I can not blame her. Nothing worse than a parent staying with you as an adult. Least that's always been the case for me. They make you feel well at least hers does as do mine like you're a child all over again they can berate and tear down.

The amount of issues I have with my own mother are not unlike what Lucy has. I feel her on this. Her mom takes a pot shot at her on the way to Jackson’s room. Her face says it all. I’ve always loved Lucy’s sense of style BTW. She always looks great to me. But I’ve been there my mom also likes to take little shots like that at me too. I relate so hard it pains me. Can't just show up and be kind...no no has to tear you down a bit before 5 minutes have elapsed. It looks like she gets it from both barrels with her parents. Another thing I can relate to as well. No reprieve.

Grey brings up CI’s in roll call and how they need to cultivate their own. Tim instantly is mouthy about them. Grey tells them they’re good tools. Tim pipes in ‘They’re definitely tools…’ Of course he has a POV that is diametrically opposed to Angela's. He thinks they need to be dominated and never in control. Where she believes they need to feel like they're apart of the team. Why am I not surprised at both of their POV’s? Ha Tis the theme of this ep for them least from a work standpoint. Harper pipes in says they're both wrong they all need to be handled differently.

Lucy already has her CI all picked out. Are we shocked our girl did her homework long before this came up? She’s chosen a pawn shop owner named Opal as her first CI. Lucy has picked this specific one cause they’re never called in help from the cops about illegal merch. Meaning either they're a saint or keeping illegal stuff without reporting it. Tim seems impressed with her strategy. (won’t tell her that of course) but lets her know it’s not easy to bag a CI.

What I love about this first scene is Lucy’s complete control. Her calm demeanor during this whole thing. Not one thing rocks her boat. Tim just sits back (Looking fine as hell btw) and lets her do her thing. He is as proud as can be while he does. I don’t know what’s cuter her little spin around being all proud of herself or Tim’s cute smile behind her. He is beaming but trying to keep it in check. He's enjoying watching her do her thing that's for sure.

Lucy commands this situation entirely. Opal clearly doesn’t want to bite so Lucy forces her hand. Tim just stands back and lets her work her magic. You can see how proud he is of her taking control. Owning this situation and ultimately getting what she wants. I mean he’s seen that in action a million times with her. Usually it’s her battling him haha So I’m sure he’s more than happy to let the shop owner be the recipient of her driven energy for once haha

Opal cracks and Lucy asks for something that has come through recently. No petty misdemeanor crap haha Tim is just sitting pretty literally and figuratively while she does this. Look at him in that second gif. The way he is watching her. He is impressed with her and its showing. Opal presents Lucy with a designer bag worth at least 6k. She starts digging into the bag and Tim is confused as to what she’s doing. He decides to speaks up for the first time and ask.

Lucy tells him these high end bags usually have serial numbers sewn in. It’ll link them to the original buyer. She finds this and proudly shows off her good work to Tim. She is beyond adorable with how proud she is of herself right now. Tim’s little smile is his stamp of approval. First time we get to see Lucy confidently command a situation with no help from Tim and even get his approval during it. Major growth for Lucy and I’m here for it. ❤️

The serial number leads them to an address where they speak with the woman who it belongs to. Lucy tells her that her bag was at a pawn shop as stolen property. The lady is awful and assumes it was her housekeeper and fires her. The step daughter Olivia walks in and fesses up to selling them. Says she wouldn’t have even noticed.

The step-mom (we soon find out she is to this girl) wants her arrested. Says it'll be only way she'll learn. Lucy is appalled by this woman’s behavior. Asks her if that’s really what her father would want? She continues to be terrible and says he wants whatever she says. Tim and Lucy have no choice but to arrest her.

They bring the step daughter back to the station for processing. Lucy asks where her mother is? She lets her know she passed away last year from cervical cancer. Her dad was cheating on her mom while she was in hospice. You see Lucy’s empathy kick right in. The need to help and need to fix things. Something she doesn’t know how to turn off. I’m with her on that. I too am a very empathetic person it’s hard to turn that off when you see someone hurting.

Goes from processing this girl to trying to guide her a bit. Letting her know she shouldn’t go home tonight. Olivia tells Lucy she doesn’t much of a choice. She has no access to the money her mom left her till she graduates college. That her father is withholding it. Lucy says that can't be legal? Olivia lets her know she's too broke to hire a lawyer to know if it is. Lucy sighs tells her stealing isn’t going to make her situation any better. Olivia looks so lost then asks what will? Poor girl that sucks. I can not imagine being in her living situation.

Nolan’s son shows up with his fiancé at the food truck all in love and happy. Lucy already in a funk about dating says how happy they look and she wants that. All in good time my dear all in good time. You most definitely are not ready yet for Tim and vice versa. But breaks my heart to see her longing for that so much. It really is foreshadowing for what happens to her this season with Caleb. *Heart clutch*.

Lucy is on the phone with her mom and she is belittling her about her grocery list (eye roll) when her convo gets interrupted by Opal. I love her calling for Tim and him instantly replying. Said before it’s the little things I love and this is one of them. She goes on to tell him Olivia returned to the shop. Was selling more of her step moms stuff. This time she didn’t want money she wanted a gun.....

Tim and Lucy go back to Olivia’s house and hear gun shots. She’s shooting up all her step mom's hand bags. Saying how she turned her dad against her, that she ruined everything. Sadly they have to arrest her again. Lucy is telling Olivia she made everything so much worse. The step mom starts to go off saying how she’s going to pay for those. The sweet house keeper walks in asking what’s going on? Step mom asks why she is there? That she fired her. She says she was grabbing last of her things when she heard the commotion.

You can see how annoyed they all are with this nasty woman. The house keeper then asks Tim and Lucy if they’d like to see where she hides all her drugs? Amazing. Epic really. Way to return the favor for firing her for no damn reason. Look at them all tall and small looking like a power couple. How can two people who are just standing there exude so much chemistry?

Lucy wakes up next morning to her apt out of order. It’s such a violation to have what should be your safe space messed with. Her mother just did this without asking. Something my mom would do. So this irritates me to no end...Just another comment on what she thinks Lucy is doing wrong. Drives me insane.

Poor girl she looks so betrayed by Jackson agreeing with the new set up. Thankfully when they arrive back home they see her mom's suitcase by the door. Says they made up and her father is coming to get her. As her mom is leaving she levies one last pot shot. Telling her to come by the office to see why she isn’t dating anymore? After she is gone, Lucy makes a comment about being 28 and still single cause of her parents. Jackson challenges her and says you sure that’s why?

I love Jackson so much for bringing this up. It’s why Lucy isn’t ready for something ‘Tim level’ yet. She still is a commitment-phobe. Also she goes for things that are safe right now. Almost like a placeholder for her till she is ready for the real thing with Tim. Goes after men that’ll never really last for her. Or that she doesn’t take seriously enough for it to. Like with Emmett we'll see later on.

Her face in that gif is too funny. She knows Jackson has her pegged. She still has a ways to go but all part of her journey and the process really. Just like Tim it is fun to watch her grow personally and professionally ❤️

That’s all she wrote for this ep. Not a ton of Chenford content but good stuff none the less for our girl and our couple.

Side Notes-Non Chenford

[jacobseed]

okay but ellis showing up to ronans church literally dying she’s passing out, but he takes care of her and when she wakes up they really dont talk to each other for the rest of the day and then she’s like “why are you helping me, i kill people” and ronans all “its okay we all struggle with demons.” and when he looks at her, there’s only warmth in his gaze. “it seems people have been unkind to you. allow me to be the one to change that.”

[me-myself-and-my-fos]

Thinking about Guy and his reaction to me being a writer. Like I definitely keep it as a secret hobby that I work on when he’s on missions (he’s a needy bitch and I need complete focus to write) so he definitely doesn’t realize or find out until I one day mention “oh yeah I’m three fourths of the way done with draft 2 of my novel” and he’s like “huh?”

I was showering at my parent's house a couple of days ago, thinking about my otp. which ship would take the proverbial cake of my shipping heart. and you know what? there's no one above destiel. not even sterek - arguably my favorite ship. the trenches of my arteries belongs to destiel. the blood pumping though my aorta belongs to destiel. the ignition of my nervous system throughout my body belongs to destiel. they are my otp.

8, 20, 26, 39, and 46 for aphid and sharky!!

8. Do they get along with each other’s friends and family?

-Aphid and Hurk are pretty good buddies, they chat, and Aphid will (skeptically) listen to Hurks stories about his times out of the country. He tries not to prod at the holes in them, but once in a while, he'll say something like, "So you took out a whole organization with no other help at all? Ever? Where was this when we almost died 3 weeks ago to that heavily guarded cult outpost?" But it's usually in jest and he tries not to be too serious about it

Aphid is slightly uncomfortable with Adelaides flirting, and at first he would avoid her but after a while he actually asks her to tone it down just a little and they finally actually start talking. They bond over the fact that neither of them can stand Hurk Sr.

Also, Aphid can't be within 30 feet of hurk Sr. Because he's certain that he'll fucking kill him.

-Aphids in no contact with his parents, but Sharky does get along as well as he can with his sister. Ruby is kinda weird about it at first ("aph.... him? Are you sure?") But it really hard to argue with him on it especially when he hasn't shut the fuck up about this dude for months before she finally meets him. Aphid walks away for 5 minutes and she off handed mentions a dumb story from when they were kids and now Sharky has to know more and Aphid get back to his boyfriend and finds out he now knows about the time he slipped in the shower pulled the curtain rod down and somehow it managed to hit the mirror and his sister found him tangled in the curtain flattened to the wall because he was scared of getting glass in his foot and they're both laughing at him now.

20.  Are they interested in marriage? Why or why not?

I think Aphid is more interested in just being married than a full ceremony, just like, go to the court house get the certificate, maybe a ring, and then fuck off for 3 weeks for a honeymoon and never tell anybody. Sharky probably would probably not even think about it unless it was brought up, I cannot for the life of me imagine him thinking about it unless someone says something to him

26.  What holidays do they like?

Halloween people fr, couples costumes, candy, alcohol, they decorate the way to their house in a way that's like a gauntlet to the poor kids who just want candy (older kids have to get candy for the little ones often)

39.  Who gets hit on the most?

I think it's equal but Aphid never realizes when anyone hits on either of them, meanwhile Sharky only notices when it happens to Aphid. So he thinks it's unbalanced, but it really isn't.

46.  How do they make each other laugh?

Part of the reason Aphid fell for Sharky is because of his humor, he thinks Sharky is funny, his stories and bad puns and jokes, even the moe raunchy ones just makes him laugh. Sharky makes him laugh by being himself and it's the most people see him smile.

Sharky is a giggle box fr and Aphid has fun timing with off handed comments where he'll say something like, Sharky pauses to think about it, and then struggles to stifle a giggle for like 10 minutes and Aphid is alway very proud of himself for this. Aphid does very subtle humor but it's always with Sharky in mind

Year of the OTP May Prompt: Who Are You?

As much as I don't like this 'puppet' in the show. I felt to have something redeeming about it.

Astral 'rescued' Mist in this state from the Barian world. He would work his hardest to find a way to fix him and bring him back to his original state. This would be the early stage of recovery. He would be aware of his surroundings, but no memories yet.
