#TWO HOUSES BOTH ALIKE IN (in)DIGNITY

[nicastamatis]

as much as its annoying i find it fascinating how people manage to boil joongdok down to generic yaoi even after reading the novel. like my desire to look at these people under a microscope vastly outweighs my typical response to terminal yaoi brain like what's going on with your head that orv goes in and "kim dokja uked ukeily down the stairs" comes out how did you dodge the psychological attacks ive been bombarded with for the past fortnight. sith magic.

Are you telling me that in the last 15 years we have had David being unhinged and purposely playing up homoerotic subtext in Shakespeare and Michael being unhinged and purposely writing homoerotic fan fiction about his own characters and these two weren't meant to be together?? Like, in a "preordained cosmic destiny/soulmates who have been waiting to find each other all this time" kind of way??

Me at 13 listening to another history teacher saying how alliances were formed between opposite sides by having two of their representants married : so stupid, how could they even think it'd work ?

Me now : nevermind, I get it now, makes complete sense

(Can you imagine witnessing a raging war, taking some time off tumblr and coming back to Ninjago and Greek mythology enthusiasts clapping each other on the back and looking for shipnames ?)

Hello my name is Her Excellency Mosttragic of the House of Pollrunner, First of her Name, and my job is diplomacy

The other part of pop music stans being happier as sports fans is no one gets Taylor like the football bros and that needs to be normalized as okay and not something to hide because how else can they have fun.

they love her so much you're 100% right

two 25 year old aries's with names starting with J-O both obsessed with old warrior cats fanart. perhaps our souls split apart during the reincarnation process and now we have to find each other like some sort of anime.

unfortunately though i am shy. so we continue to be separate

NO COME BACK I'M SO CURIOUS NOW 😭 (fr do what makes u comfortable but THATS SO WILDDD??? I LOVE IT)

listen i know laerion is the picture of filial piety unless it's his parents asking him to be heir, but there's something so funny to me in that he's so deeply, unshakably loyal to his mother while basically bellowing at the top of his lungs 'fuck her whole family though.'

Two Houses, both alike in dignity In fair Venora, where we lay our scene

Not a typo. ;) Three years after a brutal, bloody war that saw their formerly friendly queendoms at odds for the first time in history, Prince Steven Rogers of House Grant seeks to solidify the peace between Lehigh and Venora through an alliance--marriage with Prince James Barnes of House Buchanan, his childhood friend turned unexpected enemy. But after years as the Fist of Hydra and a long recovery from brainwashing and torture, Bucky isn't in a place to marry anyone, let alone someone he doesn't even remember. Stubborn to the core, afflicted by tragic losses, and still half in love with someone who might only be a memory, Steve and his family journey to Lynbrooke, the capital of Venora, to attempt to end the tension between their queendoms, and perhaps heal his wounded heart.

Cannot believe that nobody has ever written an OCXOC Romeo and Juliet fic about House Bracken and House Blackwood

can't get the idea of a gay swan mafia vs a flamingo mafia out of my head now I wanna know who wins

[walterdecourceys]

OH ALSO when people try to make adaptations where one of the families is like, actively oppressing the other, it makes me crazy. the whole point is that the feud is meaningless and both sides are at fault if you make one side way more easy to sympathize with you kind of lose that

I haven’t thought about Shameless in years but I was trying to force ‘pigpen’ by slothrust into Jason and my brain was like HALT✋. That’s Mickey Milkovich

exclusively engaging with blue lock fandom via tumblr queers means that I've seen these panels out of context before, but not IN context where they happen one after the other. anyway there are two VERY different kinds of homoeroticism happening here
