#They def had a fully fledged loving relationship

[starlooove]

Dickjoey and vicjoey like they’re literally soulmates they def happened maybe they’re not together now but when it was there it was THERE!!

[merakiui]

OHHHHHMYGOD. I loved ur clingy codependent bf azul so much. I literally felt a bit of anxiety reading it, I love azul sm hes baba, but the thought of him being this obsessed ans codependent is so nerve-wracking. you really wouldn't be able to leave him alone once he starts exhibiting signs of mental health issues.. and if this is an au where he has his canon octo form, then hes def the type to cut a tentacle or two of his just to "prove" how serious he is, knowing it will grow back eventually anyway so why not make the most out of it and scare the hell out of darling 😭

UGH AND THE WEDDING TRAPPING. and the fact it only spirals downwards from there. the door and knife scene literally made me pause bc omg.. I was not expecting it to escalate like that.. but it fits SO well!! and darlings realization throughout the drabble is honestly so upsetting because acknowledging that most of their attempts will be futile is so frustrating and hope-killing when they have a slimy and pathetic octo clinging to them 😭😭 and especially now considering how close they and azul are, legality wise. REALLY, I don't know what's so different about this compared to your azul drabbles, but it really had me pacing a little im ngl. maybe it's the fact hes way more blatantly insane and blunt with his obsession or that he's willing to go to more extreme measures? whatever it is, you nailed it and I absolutely loved it!!

and this on a different, more minor note, but are you the same author that wrote the ex scara stuff? reading the azul drabble took me back to this other codependent, obsessed bf drabble i read a few months back. it wad about darling and scara being high school sweethearts, but scara becomes more unstable throughout the relationship, so darling eventually breaks it off with him before going to college. only for ex bf scara to show up, feign innocence and squish himself into darlings friend group as a way to get close to them again, and it ends with scara also wedding trapping them. if u did not write that, I am so sorry 😭 the azul piece just kinda reminded me of it but theyre two separate things and I love each one sm!! srsly, your writing is so addicting I don't understand how you do it. and you pace things so well, like despite the azul piece not being a fully fledged fic, it still has nice pacing. it's not too short or too lengthy, and not too fast or too slow, it keeps you alert and eager to continue!!

AAAAA THANK YOU FOR READING IT!!!! I’m happy you liked it and that you could even feel anxiety from it!! :O I was hoping it could evoke uncomfortable feelings like that, so I’m relieved to know I could succeed in that endeavor!

An Azul who is so dangerously unhealthy and obsessed is always a scary thought. I wanted to write something where it starts seemingly innocent and then becomes something so uncontrollable, much like how most toxic relationships often begin. It’s small and almost cute until it isn’t—until you’re snuffed from the stifling nature of someone’s codependent behaviors. It can be stressful, so I wanted to portray that on both sides. Stressful for Azul because his tendency to panic and overthink when he’s spiraling makes anything like a day out with friends seem like a very stressful thing. Stressful for Reader because they’ve taken on the role of protecting Azul from himself (even though it isn’t a role for them to take on).

Reader probably likens Azul to a glass vase sitting on the edge of a cliff and one strong gust of wind is all it takes for that vase to come crashing down. But then Azul is also highly intelligent and he only takes risks if he knows there will be a reward, so he can peer over the edge of the cliff and he won’t fall. So if he does cut a tentacle or two to prove something to Reader (or scare the life out of them and force them to stay), he does it while fully knowing it’ll grow back. It still hurts, but then Azul thinks this pain is nothing compared to the pain he’ll feel if you leave him forever. “Leave” and “abandon” are so interchangeable for him. They’re somewhat similar words, but “abandon” sounds harsher. You can leave a person and all is well. You can abandon a person and that makes it sound wrong. Hurtful and villainous. It’s such a small thing, but it hooks you every time. Because leaving Azul makes it sound easy. But abandoning him paints you as the bad one—the one who abandoned him in his time of need.

And marriage trapping!!! He’s really so cunning, but Reader’s too busy trying to balance his breakdowns and keep him above the water to realize that beneath all of that he’s actually quite smart. In a marriage, it’s just you and Azul. No one else can truly interfere with that. And for Azul it’s easier to isolate you. You agreed to be his now. You agreed to live with and love him for the rest of your life. You said your vows. You kissed him in front of family and friends. You are a pair now, and that’s unbreakable. Not even divorce can save you because that’s an expensive and lengthy process and even if you did separate in that way you’d still be forced to fret over him and what he might do next. And that’s really scary! The idea of “okay, he’s done this terrible thing…but what’s next?” is always so chilling. What else is this person capable of? is a frightening question to ask when you don’t have an answer. When there isn’t a line to make a clear divide between the crossable and uncrossable or when that line is blurred, it makes it seem like anything is on the table. And since Azul is so codependent, there are always worrying mindsets like: If you aren’t in my world, I shouldn’t be here either. If I can’t have you, no one can. If I lose you, I lose a vital part of myself. My life hinges on you being here with me, so if you’re not in my life there isn’t a life to live. Without you, everything is worthless and meaningless.

Thank you again for liking this piece!! I’m glad it felt different from other Azul thoughts I’ve written. It’s most likely as you’ve said: he’s much more insane and willing to go to extreme lengths for the sake of his obsession. >_< this type of Azul is truly horrifying, but he’s very interesting to write and analyze like this.

And I did write the possessive ex Scara story!!! :D omg for a moment I forgot I had written it until you reminded me! I’m happy you like this one as well. Scara 🤝 Azul: codependent boyfriends who raise your stress meter just by existing. ^^;;;

Aaaaa thank you for thinking my writing is addicting and well-paced!! I’m glad it didn’t feel too slow or too fast as well as too long or too short!! I’m happy it can be an enjoyable, albeit anxiety-inducing, read!!!!

hello i saw you in the notes talking about arthur and morgana's relationship and i would love to hear you talk more please. i am unhinged about them.

(no pressure tho if you don't feel like it)

this is literally the best thing someone could say to me after a 16 hr flight 😭 bless u anon

also me too. so i'm just gonna ramble ab my headcannons and then also their canon relationship below the cut bc it is so interesting to me and i really have a lot to say and i really mean. A LOT.

so let's start off with season 1/pre-canon and the source of all their problems: uther pendragon. uther pendragon is fucking insane and possibly one of the worst parents ever,,, like def top 10 worst fathers i think

pre-season 1 time line as I see it:

- he marries ygraine from the house of du bois after becoming king,, probably like 3-7 years after,, he claimed he loved her (heavily debatable!!) and she seemed to as well so they assumedly married for love

- now uther has a best friend at the time: Gorlois (now if this is his name-name or surname i'm not sure so i'm just going to go say surname since they're nobility) This man is known by Uther had the bravest man he's ever met,, and his wife the Lady Vivienne probably lost him in battle bc later in season 3,, Uther says a much and says Lady Vivienne was: "lonely so he consoled her"...

- now, this is where my headcannon comes in,, I'm pretty damn sure morgana is older than arthur,, meaning that I'm pretty sure that Uther cheated on ygraine out of that shared grief and around this time ygraine probably was showing growing signs of being barren/unable to become pregnant which probably worried the court ngl

- so morgana conception happens,, vivienne goes away,, gorlois thinks she's his,, during this time uther finally gives in and sacrifices ygraine's life for arthur's and ultimately blames it on arthur/all of magic (remember the talk w uther and nimueh when he says: i wish he'd [arthur] never been born bc it meant losing ygraine essentially like,,,. ok. wow.)

- now season 1: there is so much evidence uther is an abusive shit:

- he throws both of his children in jail whenever they toe the line in a way he doesn't find amusing (ie: s1e4 and s1e12)

- arthur straight up says (he's about 20/21 atp): i never knew you were proud of me,, in fact i always thought i was a disapointment (meaning: uther never went out of his way to show him otherwise for a solid 20-21 years.)

and uther doesn't actually say he's proud of him he just goes: i wouldn't wish for another son (after drugging him so he wouldn't duel being a hypocritical king)

so all of this: leads back to morgana and arthur's relationship

morgana and arthur in season 1 have a somewhat tentative relationship,, we can see that most of the kingdom thinks the two of them are going to marry one another (including themselves at times) ie: gwen saying morgana would make a great queen one day,, but they also bicker all the damn time

snipes here and there,, but ultimately it usually comes down to their differences in how they reacted to their upbringing from uther:

arthur became the dutiful/exceptional son: he became a knight at 20 (usually took knights till mid twenties-early thirties), later we learn he led druid raids pre-canon (this traumatized him also again fuck uther) this would also be exceptional seeing as he probably wasn't a fully fledged knight even then, and is known throughout Camelot (and most of Albion tbh) as a master swordsman,, and while he did have his own thoughts on magic he often bit his tounge in front of his father in order to prove himself,, we also know that unlike morgana: he learned exactly how to navigate around uther so he could do what he wanted against uther's will while not embarrassing in front of the court (ie: when he went to go save gwen after saying to his father and the court that it was probably a lost cause)

morgana was the people's princess,, but she def got the "i am my father's daughter" syndrome BADDDDD: we see in s1 she's often stood up to Uther in front of the court numerous times, so much so that when she gets thrown into prison (s1e12) it's not the first time,, arthur tells her: "i promised him that this would be the last time you acted out against him like this" (paraphrasing) and morgana replies "you're a good man, unlike your father" (line that makes me insane)

they are parallel from the start within these two episodes specifically!!! many may argue morgana was good and kind from the beginning,, but she often did things FOR HER OWN MOTIVES!!! when she helped gwen's father to escape without consulting gwen,, it confirmed it for me. she may have convinced herself it was for gwen,, but she never even asked,, she did it to piss of uther not thinking it all the way through,, opening his cell and leaving him to fend for himself against a bataillon of knights. now i'm not saying morgana has never done anything out of pure kindness,,

but whereas arthur is constantly set up as a righteous and noble man in his heart but his actions can appear to be... for lack of a better word, extremely dickish

morgana's actions appear to be kind and generous, but can often endanger those around her in her conquest for the things she wants, sometimes ending in death. (AGAIN NOT ALWAYS!!!)

NOW this leads me to the fact that once again they were the only two who grew up under Uther really and are the only ones who know what that's like,, they probably already felt more like brother and sister by the time s1 hit just bc of that but endured it bc they weren't blood and swallows the fact they were probably gonna be married but you can see it in the scenes alone,,

morgana does push arthur to be better and to challenge the things uther taught them bc that is what she instinctively does!! morgana questions uther and in return teacher arthur to question uther (ie: pushing arthur to save merlin in s1e4, helps him to strike down valiant s1e2, makes him argue back when gwen was wrongfully imprisoned s1e3) and we see that morgana does care for arthur!! she threatens sophia when she noticed something is off and often rushes to the defense of her friends,, her tactics can be destructive though just in a parallel way to arthur's

arthur's destructiveness comes from his inability to choose a side, or based his assumptions on prejudices something that becomes even more apparent when morgana turns away from Camelot and it's people

morgana was probably rooting for arthur as a king for a certain point,, but even though the grew up together and she should know arthur's MO is usually 'just say yes in front of dad and do whatever the fuck is just later' morgana doesn't trust him. and as her powers grow this also becomes more apparent and her support wanes until she believes someone else should be on the throne,,,

and when she learns that uther is her father??? that's when she flies off the deep end.

now for me morgana being older than arthur is one of the only reasons why she would have a valid claim to the throne!! we see that mithian as the only girl succeeded her father as QUEEN not just princess meaning the laws of succession COULD include women it just depended on the region,,

now imagine being morgana:

you grow up at home with your father, he is kind, brave, and gentle, and a fearsome warrior, he is the kings best friend. he dies and you move in probably around the age of 8 and you see this 6 year old boy. you later learn the kingdom expects the two of you to marry. you're still grieving but you know what this means. you take the etiquette lessons, you learn to wield the sword, you become proficient in horseback riding, you gain the education fitting of a queen. you are 15, the prince is 13, he is already one of the most promising squires. it's alright though you're learning to love him, not as a romance though (not anymore at least, he tried to flick his booger at you once at the age of 8, the flame was staunchly out out.) you two appreciate one another, you get older, it is improper for the two of you to be alone together, you witness your first execution. he's being killed for the crime of sorcery (he saved a little girl from a burning building), you don't understand. you meet your maidservant, she is one of the most lovely people to grace the earth. you love her, as a friend. you grow older, you're still expected to marry the prince (he is 18), he has killed many. he has watched even more die. he is different, you are different. you watch another man die for the crime of sorcery, you don't understand. two years pass, you're tormented by dreams you cannot comprehend but always seem to come true, a serving boy arrives, he changes the prince again. you watch another man die. you don't understand, but you hold your tounge now until later. the king's temper is short. years past and the sleeping draughts aren't working, your dreams are getting worse. your maidservant is in love with the prince. you're jealous, you don't understand. you think you have magic, you see the prince become his father. you don't understand, you just want someone to tell you it'll be alright. after years of anger and bitterness you finally understand, you hate the king and all he's done, the world would be better if he were gone, arthur would be better if he were gone. arthur loves him anyways and it kills you. you meet a woman who claims to be your sister, both of blood and in magic. you take her hand, she promises to teach you all there is to be taught. your anger for the king festers. the prince you once loved turns out to be your brother. the king you hate turns out to be your father. you beg him to recognize you, and give you the family name you were stripped of. he doesn't. you kill him. you kill s lot of people. you don't care if they're innocent or not anymore. you connive, and you plot, and you scheme. you try to kill the prince, who is now king. your sister dies. you miss your best friend, the handmaiden who is now queen. she says she hates you. you hate arthur. you die trying to make him as miserable as you.

now arthur:

one day your father brings a girl home, everyone is telling you that they you expect to marry. father doesnt say anything. you think she's pretty, you accidentally flick your booger at her and she looks at you like you've wiped horseshit on her dress. you watch a man die for the crime of magic. you don't understand, you will soon. your father looks at you like there is someone he can't stand to see. he cherishes this girl he's brought home. you work harder than any squire seen before. you get promoted early, everyone says it is just because of the king, you beat them in everything so they can't secondaries you ever again. you watch more sorcerers die, your father says it is because they killed your mother, you secretly feel like a bad person because you don't understand why all sorcerers deserve to die for the crime of one death. even if it is your mother. you twist her ring. your father's ward is beautiful, you try to impress her, she's too busy hanging out with her maidservant. you get older and complete your first druid camp raid, you don't understand, so many of them are women and children, so many of them die anyways. you change. you grow older, you become the youngest knight in camelot, you think it will turn your father's ward's attention to you, she's infatuated with owain, the oaf. you get older, and you meet the most insufferable boy with the most outrageous ears and the most obvious lies. he changes you. morgana becomes more distant. you learn that your mother's life was given for yours, you try to kill your father. the manservant you trust most in the world says that sorcerers lie, you finally understand. you hate sorcery and despise any practitioners of magic from now on. you grow older, you begin to fall in love with your sister's manservant, you understand her infatuation. you grow as a prince, and person, you gain alliances in unlikely places, you don't think you'll marry morgana anymore. you learn your father's ward is your sister, you watch as she usurps the throne. you don't understand. you fight back. you become king. you marry the love of your life. she betrays you with a close friend. you become lost. you forgive her, you trust again. you are fighting your sister. always. you don't even recognize her anymore, you wonder if you ever did. you later learn that magic was never evil, on your deathbed, and that your soulmate had it the whole time. you wonder about your sister. she tries to kill you again. she dies in your best friend's arms and all you can think is how she finally looks peaceful for the first time in forever. you die the same way not too long after.

anyways: morgana and arthur parallel each other so hard it's crazy,,, and the pendragons are a family of self-fulfilling prophecies

like that is your sister/brother and you love them and you hate them and nobody else couldn't possibly get it and they hate you but you will always love them and you are home but you can never go home and -!

HI VAL what are your fav dynamics™ that ur ocs have w each other 💞

HI omg i didnt get a notif u sent me this sorrrrry!

help i think all of my OCs in the past few yrs have been collaborative with my friends and tbh my faves are always the dynamics between my characters and my friends' from the same world/story bc its always so fresh and fun and fluid! obviously it plays a lot from the relationship i have w my friends outside of the story but its always so cool to me to see the different ways that plays out -

to that end my dnd oc nyx and @woodzbfgf rory's benji are soooo so precious to me. their dynamic is everything, they are asshole besties and also pirates what more could you want. in particular i really love that benji highlights a side of nyx which isnt seen almost at all without him and they have a depth that only comes from people whove had each other's backs for years.

and ofc @pendraegon ellian's jouka and nyx<3 the way we developed their bond so organically was really special mwah, and sort of inversely to benji and nyx, theyre like work besties who become real life friends yknow ahdhsbx

in terms of entirely my own OCs a fave is def one of my first fully fledged characters, eli, and his kid simon- i think i developed a really nice dynamic between them which personally was an achievement bc i usually find family dynamics really hard (hence practically all my ocs ever are orphans 😭 SORRY i am so predictable) so it was a really fun experience to try and go beyond my own perspective and craft something meaningful there!

kissies thank u for the ask i love my little characters sm<3

[matan4il]

You know on the Lucy thing. I'm not really worried about her because of you Buck and consent meta. It was always something that I was aware of with Buck, people taking advantage. But your meta made it more clear. I think they have transitioned him into more of a mentor and I don't think that's a power dynamic he would cross with any character like Lucy or Ravi. All the relationships on 911 are very peer balanced.

And with Eddie yes like early on it was Lucy being the female Buck but that was just the first episode u know. It doesn't mean she would be like Buck towards Christopher and Eddie at all.

Hi lovely Nonnie!

Oh, thank you so much! It matters a lot to know that the Buck & consent meta post meant that much to you! *HUGS* I'm glad you also think there is an issue around him and this theme. And yep, he's def not someone who would ever cross that type of line deliberately. In 514, he was there for Lucy as someone who had once before been where she was in that specific moment. Does that make him a fully fledged mentor? I'd tend to say not. Any moment now, they can play it like she's caught up to where he's at. And there is no actual rank gap. I do think the getting him to drink more than he meant to (leading to the kiss and what she clearly hoped would be sex, too) is something they should address, but who knows. Especially since they later have her say she was extremely drunk as well, which seemingly turns it from a consent issue to an issue where these two are both self-destructive morons and shouldn't be allowed to play together unsupervised. I’m not sure, but I think that’s what they tried to imply when she said that to Greenway.

I also agree with you that Lucy isn't an actual female copy of Buck, her 511 introduction is probably meant to reflect his in 101, while her arc in 514 is a parallel to his in 102. But without a doubt, beyond that, they're very different. Not to mention, Buck has grown so much since the beginning of s1, there's no comparison between him today and the little self-diagnosed sex addict secretly craving love baby he was back then. Just think of where Lucy's at in 514, versus where he is, having helped a colleague a bit, but mostly being preoccupied with putting his husband and their little family back together. So when we got her hating on marriage on top of that? Yeah, they're not the same character at all.

However, I did still almost choke laughing at the thought of a Lucy and Eddie hook up, because "female Buck" is how the show chose to promote Lucy. They can't erase it, and now if they try to "no homo" Buddie by having a Lucy and Eddie get together, it'll be the gayest "no homo" in the history of closeted Hollywood... Which is saying something! XD

Thank you for this ask and I hope you're having a fantastic day! xoxox

If you're looking for my other replies, here is my ask tag! xoxox

Dating Owen Joyner Would Include...

JATP masterlist

A/n: ask and you shall recieve ! Owen content is here! Albeit its not a full fledged fic, but headcanon lists are fun and I enjoy doing them. Okay enjoy and also I wanna work on some hockey!charlie content too.

➢ This man is a confirmed anxious wreck so the first time he asked you out, he was a disaster

➢ Starts off smooth talking but when you laugh in his face at how out of character he’s acting he’s able to relax and be himself

➢ You liked Owen for his nervous goofy witty self and you’re glad he had dropped the act

➢ Your first date has to be something super romantic but a little creative and unconventional

➢ I fully believe Owen is a picnic under the stars kind of guy

➢ If you’re temperature sensitive he’d take the Tesla and y’all could watch through the sunroof and maybe a movie on the little screen

➢ If you’re not, he’d for sure take the truck and fill the bed of it with pillows and blankets and such

➢ Either way he’d want you to be as comfortable as possible

➢ Not sure what it is about him but I get the vibe he can’t cook

➢ So take out for the win on this one

➢ He’d absolutely ask you what you’d want to name your kids because Owen seems like a very forward guy in the sweetest but dorkiest way possible

➢ You two spend the entire night having deep conversation

➢ Owen doesn’t ramp into talking about kids names

➢ Talking about having kids IS the ramping into things

➢ It’s not very existential but you definitely spend an hour or two talking about your perspectives on life and why you’re here

➢ He def gives me deep conversation vibes

➢ So the relationship is off to a great start for sure

➢ He wouldn’t tell you what to wear or how to dress ever

➢ He’d compliment you non-stop

➢ But he’d love little comments you’d make in passing about certain outfits he wears or how he styles his hair

➢ Anything you say that you like about his style or appearance he’d absolutely remember all of them

➢ And he’d absolutely start dressing and styling his look like that more often

➢ Your arguments are the dumbest arguments on the planet

➢ But you’re both so invested in them

➢ Of course, every relationship has its downsides

➢ For you and Owen, it’s Charlie

➢ Not that Charlie doesn’t respect boundaries and when you two need time alone

➢ It’s that in the time he does spend with y’all, you’re basically babysitting

➢ Being Owen’s other half means being Charlie’s whole impulse control

➢ “Charlie, we can’t just have ice cream for dinner”

➢ “Charlie, you can’t just leave a load of laundry to sit overnight before drying it”

➢ Bear in mind though, sometimes you’re the whole impulse control to Owen being Charlie’s other half of a whole idiot

➢ Charlie has some dumb ideas, we know this

➢ “Owen, I dare you to jump into that fountain”

➢ “I’ll do it for five bucks”

➢ “Stop it both of you!”

➢ Owen is so affectionate with his pets I’m sure he would be with his s/o as well

➢ Cuddles cuddles cuddles

➢ Hugs from behind

➢ Lazy mornings in bed

➢ Lazy days in general where you two just stay in bed all day

➢ He is the BEST karaoke partner

➢ He’d know the words to any and every song you’d choose

➢ All he’d ask is for you to throw in a little high school musical into the mix

➢ There’s not a lot of negative energy in the household once you two move in together

➢ But there is some stress due to adjusting to an actor’s schedule in your own life

➢ No matter what, you two are there for one another, crazy schedules and all

Doctor Who 001! (or if thats too big pick an era, if you'd like :D )

Errrr I am sorry everyone some of the opinions expressed below are extremely extremely unpopular. The sort that I normally keep my mouth shut about because I know literally no one agrees with me, and that is ok. Please know they are just my opinions and absolutely no one is in any way obligated to agree with me.

Favorite character: Romanadvoratrelundar

Least Favorite character: Hmmmmm this is hard. I’m not going to go into one off characters for this because WOW is that too big of a pool. I suppose my least favorite recurring would be Craig Owens? Or Sabalom Glitz. 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Doctor/Master, Doctor/Romana, Leela/Romana/Narvin, Tegan/Nyssa, Ian/Barbara,Yasmin/Thirteen, Jamie/Two(I am bad at counting, that is my excuse for never sticking to just five!)

Character I find most attractive: Oh Romana I for sure. I mean just.... wow! WOW

Character I would marry: Ohhh this one is harder, but it comes down to Martha Jones, Bill Potts or Sarah Jane Smith.

Character I would be best friends with: Ace McShane and/or Bill Potts and/or Zoe Heriot and/or.... probably best if I cut myself off, huh?

a random thought: I was talking about Susan’s War last night so Big Finish’s adult Susan stuff is on my mind right now, but I would really love something in the future about Susan learning about the Timeless Child thing. Especially given everything Big Finish established around Alex (he’s only 7% Gallifreyan and Susan seemed to know that BEFORE the Doctor ran tests on him, and the Doctor didn’t think it would have been possible for her have a child with a Human! What did she do to become a parent?), Susan’s apparent regrets around not graduating from the Academy and becoming a full fledged Time Lord, and the very disturbing thread between being told in Susan’s War that Susan is the strongest telepath Gallifrey has in the Time War and everything that went on in Doom Coalition around Gallifrey doing procedures on Academy students with strong telepathy to minimize their mental powers. Plus, while obviously her experiences in the war are still not fully told (with the way the last Eighth Doctor Time War set ended I would be shocked if she doesn’t show up in that range in the future) but with Susan’s War ending with her being called into a private audience with Rassilon, all I can think about is how Rassilon def. 1000000% KNOWS and just.... I really hope if they already wrote that conversation between them (and it isn’t recorded yet) some editor goes back in to look at it through the lens of this new context or something because I really do find all of this FASCINATING and it is part of her family history (obviously) and she deserves to know about it!

An unpopular opinion: Hahahaha where do I START

my canon OTP: I think someone would first have to figure out what is canon in the context of Doctor Who before I could answer this, really.

Non-canon OTP: No but really WHAT IS A CANON PAIRING AND WHAT IS NOT?

most badass character: Leela of the Sevateem

pairing I am not a fan of: Oh real unpopular opinion here but I was never sold on Doctor/River. I really did try, I even have the first 5 volumes of the Diaries of River Song! Yet at no point have I ever felt their relationship was anything more than her fucked up upbringing causing her to be fixated on the Doctor and the Doctor really does not want to hurt her. Like I really really did try, I did, I hate being on the outside of a pairing this popular, but it just.... that’s the only context it has ever made sense to me in. Oh and since I’m airing these unpopular opinions.... I really can’t do Doctor/Rose at all on the grounds that Rose had a boyfriend she refused to properly break up with, and constantly was annoyed at for.... being upset she was cheating on him? (and then the way the Doctor was so endlessly obnoxious about her post Series 2 was just... yikes). Had she properly broken things off with Mickey, maybe I could have gotten into it, buuuuuuuuuut nope (and hey so long as I am being wildly unpopular like this, I feel similarly about how Clara was gaslighting Danny and have A LOT of thoughts about how Mickey and Danny were treated over the course of their time on the show without showing anything to sell audiences on why the fuck their white love interests were so unquestionably endlessly desirable that it was worth putting up with and constantly forgiving). character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): lol see above favourite friendship: Vicki and One, Jo and Three, Sarah Jane and Four, Six and Evelyn... there are just so so so soooo many! character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Hi Doctor I am a person who would delight in going on some adventures, please adopt me as one of your many humans pls thanx I promise I will not complain when you traumatize me beyond all comprehension.

I love Milan so much! He’s portrayed as the perfect combination of ‘I’m gay and proud and I don’t have to live by heteronormative standards of relationships’ and being unbelievably sweet and wanting something like what Robbe and Sander have. He is my favorite representation in an Eskild. Gay men can be wild and soft

I gotta admit I like a lot of the Eskilds but I sorta of hate how they wrote Milan in s2. No queer adult should ever try to kiss a possible queer teen. End of period and I saw the clip again here and am sorry he def is trying to kiss Robbe.  Also that s2 writing of Milan is so OOC. The Milan we know would never do something like that. Milan jokes and he is silly but he is also highly informed on queer history and culture. I hate that s2 Milan plot and also the fact that Robbe apologized and they tried to play it off like Milan wasn’t trying to do that because probably after the fact the writers got told how icky it comes off. Also why would Robbe a minor apologize for the actions of an adult trying to touch him without his consent. Umm no! It literally made my blood boil. Especially for Milan because his character is such a fairy god papa to Robbe. Milan is so thoughtful particularly in that moment where they are sitting on the couch and Robbe ask “how do you know if someone is gay” and Milan clocks Robbe ruminating on what he is saying but he doesnt push Robbe for more information he sorta of gives him the extra minute to process his thoughts or continue asking whatever question is on his mind. Milan does that a lot for Robbe throughout s3 and when he holds his emotions in place when Robbe tells him about the attack and breaks down afterwards because he knows that Robbe has experienced a hate crime and he isnt really even fully out yet.  I am happy that in s3 they humanized Milan and then more so in wtfockdown with the cyber sex talk. 

I love this scene too because queer culture embraces hook up/free love culture a lot but at the same time you dont need to engage in that if you dont feel comfortable. Your tribe and or your people are the people that respect and appreciate your boundaries. This is also a very beautiful notion that Milan passes down to Robbe but its also funny because he is also like it can be romantic or like just fuck it do it for the camera hahahaha. An Eskild to heart truly. I just wish Milan was the one that had apologized and they actually discuss Robbe’s use of slurs in s2 it actually would have made more sense as to why Robbe uses that slur again against Sander even after Milan talks to him about it. Lastly tho Milan is def the most caretaker or papa bears of the Eskilds but the sweetest is 1000% Hans tho. Hans is such a pure soul and the fact that he takes Matteo to church to find some calm is just such a Hans thing to do. Also the fact that he sits Matteo down is like “ok let me break out the safe sex must do’s” was hilarious especially because Matteo is so shy you know he wanted to die on the chair. Flippo is also amazing because you know Marti just appears on his doorstep every two weeks with a list of questions that Flippo needs to walk him through as he is full fledge panic mode. Mika is hella bitchy but Lucas is bitchy too so they are actually perfect together. They just sit their throwing shade and reading each other to filth I can see it now.

Reveling in Richonne

#39: The Deer Drop (7x4)

So, y’all, Negan is a fool. 😂  He has no idea that his downfall just strutted past him in this scene lol. 

After Rick and Michonne’s heartfelt talk, we see Michonne, with the deer around her, looking like a full fledged boss as she walks past Negan.  (Side note: The subtle surprised/sad look Michonne gives, when she notices Daryl, is so great and Danai truly can act without uttering a word.👏🏽)

As Michonne walks past Negan, I was like, "Uh, Negan, do you see this queen strutting past and mad dogging you right now? She's going to be your undoing, bruh." 😂  Cuz Michonne is Rick’s rock and so as long as Rick has her, Negan will never fully break him. It’s so interesting to see her walk past Negan because he really has no idea just how crucial this woman is to Rick and just how much she can change the whole game. 

Like I really feel like even just her presence back in ASZ made the vibe feel different there. It felt like there was a certain strength and power reinstalled in the community. Even Rick feels more whole, like he’s def still very broken, but you can tell that this day sucks just a little less when she’s there. Negan enjoys targeting leaders, but he just lets Rick’s leader walk right past him. Did I mention he’s a fool? 😋 

I love this moment because it says so much. One; it says that Michonne has agreed to Rick’s request even though she doesn’t necessarily like it. Two; it says that Michonne is over Negan and she’s not afraid to give him a look that shows him that. Three; This whole scene is proof that Rick and Michonne can’t quite hide or downplay how much they care about each other. (Nor should they)

Four; Michonne walks ahead of Rick and, if my eyes don’t deceive me, Rick keeps his eyes on her. He only looks at Negan once Negan starts speaking. It lets you know, once again, that they’re not on the same page but they are still a unit. And it's tough seeing Rick walking behind her cuz there's still this distance between them, and that’s just not the way they’re meant to be. But what I love about this shot of them walking, is that it really looks like Rick’s following the woman who leads him. 

And five; that deer drop tho. 

So as Michonne walks past Negan, holding this deer, the message is loud and clear; this woman is fierce. I love that Michonne has no fear when glaring at Negan. Like she knows to be somewhat subtle with it, but she’s also making it clear that she’s not feeling him even a little bit. Let him know, sis! 

And Rick has an alibi at the ready when he tells Negan he thought she was scavenging but she was hunting. It's sweet that this is Rick, once again, trying to protect her. In the words of Drake, this is Rick being like, “I think I’d lie for you” lol. And it's crazy cuz Negan has no idea Rick is talking to him about his wife and his rock. 

And when Rick hands over the gun, Negan tells him, “This is something to build a relationship on”. The scene cuts to Michonne when he says this, as she literally looks like she could murder him right then and there. Overlapping this shot with that line of dialogue isn’t a coincidence. But the irony is that, as much as Negan should be something that breaks Richonne, he really is only going to make their relationship stronger in the long run.

And then Rick heartbreakingly tries to make one last request and ask if Daryl can stay. It’s really sweet that Rick’s willing to take yet another risk and make a request for someone he cares about. And I almost feel like even the courage he musters to do this, has to do somewhat with the fact that his source of strength is back home. But, of course, Negan tells Rick he can't have Daryl back and Daryl's not about to plead his case cuz he knows there's no use. 😥 

I like that Michonne stays with that deer around her and she's surrounded by Saviors with literally zero fear. Like she could have just gave up the deer and left but she stays standing right in the mix of them. Even surrounded by all these dangerous men, her only concern is Rick’s conversation with Negan. She looks like if Rick were to say the word she would go into fight mode on the spot. 

(Side Note: It’s crazy seeing Rick, Michonne, and Daryl all around Negan in this scene. Like these are the baddest of the bunch, but right now Negan has them all enslaved. He doesn’t even realize these three are basically apocalyptic all-stars lol...But he’ll learn.)

So Negan lets Rick know he expects something interesting for next time and it’s interesting cuz this is Michonne’s first time seeing Negan degrade Rick today. You know it frustrated her to her core to see Negan bully her man.

And then Negan tells Arat to grab the deer before they head out...But see, Michonne isn’t your average chick. So they might’ve thought she was about to just softly hand this deer over, but Michonne was like...

And Homegirl drops the deer and mad dogs Negan, one last time, before fiercely turning and walking away. Queen. 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏾👸

I love that in one final act of defiance for the day, Michonne drops the deer. It really does feel like a “drop the mic” moment. And talk about making an entrance and exit! Like I know everybody in the vicinity took note of her. You can actually see a Savior sort of take note when she walks away lol.

It’s actually a super big deal that Michonne drops the deer this way. It’s bold and it lets you know Negan has not ripped the fight out of her. I feel like, in her eyes, Negan is a dead man walking it’s just a matter of time. She might not be able to cut Negan up right here but she still makes a statement. This is still the Michonne. And the Michonne does not take kindly to governors, tyrants, and triers of Rick Grimes. 

It’s so clear in this moment that she’s beyond frustrated with their situation and this oppression and she’s unafraid to hide it. And when she drops the deer she then turns and walks further into that Savior crowd cuz she is unfazed by any of them.  (Side note: Notice the two people who most visibly defied Negan today are Carl and Michonne. Grimes 2.0 ain’t nothing to play with, y’all.)

Seeing Michonne drop the deer is where Rick can’t quite hide his emotions. He doesn’t take his eyes off her and he physically steps forward when she walks away. *magnets*

Negan decides to take one more petty jab at Rick by commenting on how he loves a girl that buys him dinner and yada, yada, yada. It's literally like the last straw of the day for Negan to now be making suggestive jokes unknowingly about Rick's woman. 

But Rick doesn't even seem to notice Negan's taunting at this point. He's almost completely preoccupied with that fact that Michonne is so clearly unhappy right now. 

I feel like this Negan reign is extra difficult for Rick and Michonne due to their intertwined well-beings. Rick’s not okay and so Michonne is even more not okay. And Michonne’s not okay so, as we see in this scene, Rick’s even more not okay too.

I love that Rick’s focus is on Michonne here, even with Negan right in his ear. I was like, Negan, a Richonne moment is happening right before your eyes, bruh. So stop talking cuz...

But on another note, Negan’s comment could make you wonder if he took some minor note of Michonne, not necessarily as Rick’s significant other, but as someone Rick obviously cares about.

I feel like there might be two reasons for Rick’s concerned expression here. One is because he’s so legitimately pained that she’s unhappy. This is a man who loves getting things for her and now he’s had to ask her to give up something. And, even though Michonne would never hold this against him, you can tell Rick personally feels that he’s let her down. 

But two; I also think the concerned expression is because he's like “Dang, my girl is kind of unafraid of Negan” cuz she wanted Negan to know she was #overhim when she dropped that deer. But, because Rick was so broken in that lineup, and is taking on so much of the guilt, he’s more in a place to just take the hits. And I think seeing Michonne drop that deer like a boss made him realize he's going to have to convince her they unfortunately can't even remotely be bosses around this psycho. 

Don’t get me wrong, Michonne is smart so she’s not going to do anything too recklessly defiant. But Rick knows that any type of defiance could be fatal, so I think the deer drop concerned him a bit. And it also really confirmed to him that Michonne is in a different head space than he’s in right now when it comes to how they view and approach Negan. 

What’s super clear in this scene though, is that Rick truly makes Michonne's happiness one of his top responsibilities, so he’s feeling extra down rn. And luckily we don’t have to wait long before seeing R&M talk it out. 

*But first Rick serves some OG Rick Grimes when he talks to Spencer and tells him to “Say yes.” (Which little did we know would become very special words to us.😋 ) 

*Just a heads up: The following is about the Season Eight sneak peek*

So I mentioned in an earlier post that I only wanted Rick and Michonne to have a baby if it was in the last season...But then I saw that sneak peek last night and this happened...

And, y’all, I make mistakes and I learn my lessons lol.  

I really want Rick and Michonne to have a baby! It doesn’t have to be soon, but I’m def fully on board for this now. Something about Rick’s line in this sneak peek just triggered me and I immediately got on the Richonne baby train. 

And I acknowledge that Rick might have just strictly meant he’s ready to just be Rick “the dad” and “husband” after the war and let someone else lead. But with Maggie talking about trimesters, and Ezekiel talking about fighting for the children to come, like there was just some serious baby vibes in this scene and I was so here for it lol. 

I heard this line and I was really like, “Rick, bruh, I need you to please elaborate on this. Like what exactly do you mean? Cuz I’m low key getting baby vibes from this ambiguous statement.” Even just the possible implication that Rick is open to having a child with Michonne made me so happy. 

Wanting a kid might not even be remotely what Rick was referencing in this scene, and y’all probably have much better insight on it than me. But either way, it made me much more excited about the idea of Richonne having a kid. (Y’all know I’m a little late to the party sometimes.😂  But I’m here now!) 

Anyways, just thought I’d give an update lol. Cuz I was hesitant about a Richonne baby and then, the minute I heard this line, this was literally me...

002 Mikoizu and 003 Dedue?

ANON...............U KNOW THE WAY TO MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!

mikoizu is here!!

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character

I LOVE DEDUE!! i did not have any strong feels abt him at first but he became one of my absolute favorites. almost sneakily tbh!! i can’t say i’m immediately into the stereotypical vassal role in fe games, but dedue’s loyalty to dimitri is so genuinely heartfelt i ended up feeling all tender.... i like that his personal story is so intimately linked with the azure moon storyline so you have more chances to really have an all around view of what it all means for him: for his relationship w/ dimitri  and his backstory you have their supports, his paralogue, and the main story, while his supports with other characters put in all these little bits of info that wrap everything up in one of the few characters that i felt were well and fully fledged. his supports with mercedes are just genuinely touching!! for once they also nailed the whole scary guy with delicate interests too, i think, since it’s not overplayed!

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character

dimidue is so good!!! again, i enjoy a good lord/vassal but they don’t usually end in the range of favourite ships. but dimidue works so well to me, their supports are all about how dimitri doesn’t see him as inferior to him in any way and dedue establishes clearly what he wants too, in their A. i disagree with people that think their relationship unhealthy, i think the supports really make a point of how they are meant to be equals. even if to some they didn’t manage it properly, i am 100% on board with it. they are so obviously meant for each other it’s painful!!!!!!! 

i also enjoy dedue/mercedes!!! it’s hard not to ship mercedes with anyone but yeah....they would undeniably work.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character

ashe/dedue is really adorable but doesn’t quite do it for me as a romantic ship. also i like the dedue/felix dynamic and wish we had gotten something more substantial to show for it, especially in the context of King Dimitri.

My unpopular opinion about this character

i think most people have qualms w/ the portrayal of racial issues. while i can’t tell people what to feel abt the way dedue faces discrimination, i feel like it’s marginally better than, say, radiance/radiant where we gotta use cat people to talk about racial discriminations. i feel that bc of this more outright approach it comes out more brutally real, and there’s not much of an “easy” happy ending for the situation, which i realze can be a lot. but i don’t think it’s a total fail, personally.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

that he could more explicitly become dimitri’s husband. like..............pls..........................................

Favorite friendship for this character

dedue and all the lions!!!! in particular the annette/mercedes/ashe squad....the stong must protect the sweet. i also love his interaction with shamir!!! they’d def be great pals, disagreements aside.

My crossover ship

im thinking crossover as in other fe games here. dedue and niles would be good i think. something like the fe warriors frederick/niles support but it stops being funny/horny halfway through and morphs into something guarded but sincere. i think niles would be a bit envious of dedue/dimitri’s reationship so he’d probably try to be particularly cruel but unexepectedly feel comfortable talking to him in the long run. also have to face the fact that they’re two soft saps and he really can’t use them as comparison for his own lord/vassal situation lmao. they could even become A Thing, who knows!!!

Episode Emphases???

i thought it might be useful to sort of note the sort of like ~themes or emphases i’m seeing coming out of each of our eps now, in terms of sort of pumping them out into 60-min eps, etc, so i thought i’d write this down and we can discuss our thoughts on this when we get a chance!  (if we like this, if we don’t, etc)

EPISODE 1 

note: so this one’s a bit different bc its obv a pilot buT i did notice some things about it

dragons are a major focus of this ep which is GREAT!! and exactly as it should be!! but also the power that comes w them - a power all-but gone in aragoth now but clearly v desired!!!

guy is the protagonist but that also works out really well ((still forever laughing that he’s actually guy now lasjdlfkjdsjkf))

guin is also big which is important bc she bridges the gap we’ve got between two of our three main locations in the ep (1 - court, 2 - guy’s town, 3 - resistance camp)

house fontaine also takes a front seat in the action, w guin as the protagonist of their subplot

((im laughing at those poor ppl who’ll be watching this ep imagining that guin and guy are the main characters and will fall in love etc and then BOOM #angstslutalways))

cedric is big in this, actually???? but that’s great bc he only has 8 eps total so *thumbs up*

cassius is clearly the main antagonist in this ep which is another great thing

this ep is action-heavy which is great!!

also, weirdly loving that the pilot ep is technically a tragedy bc the bad guy wins in the end bc im a sick person???????? #empirestrikesback

EPISODE 2

so obv helena is the protagonist of this ep!! i feel like, the next major character in this ep may actually be lynessa!

w charles and alex figuring strongly

the main action of this ep is the ball, itself

we also learn more about aragoth’s history which helps worldbuild 

but mostly we get to see how the nobility lives in stark contrast to how the peasants live

also features house beaumont (as a whole) pr heavily in this ep!! i also like that we see them both individually and as a whole

we even already have establishing character moments planned out for half of them!!

lynessa and celia are the focus of this house in this ep which i think is good since there’s a lot going on - evie and avelina figure more prominently next ep

we also get our first hints of the godiva vs arrington thing but aren’t drowned in it which’s a really strong way to go!!

it raises questions and draws us into the next ep and does NOT clobber us!!

EPISODE 3

roran and charles sort of share this ep!! like they share everything <3 v degrey, much dragonrider

w cassius as the antagonist

speaking of which, this one sort of solidifies what dragonriders can do and thus sets the stage in terms of dragonrider worldbuilding for the rest of the series!!

also, since this one’s gonna be exposition heavy and therefore maybe a lil confusing, it’s great that we have helena’s dreams going on in the prev. ep to literally illustrate what we’re talking about

speaking of which, i wanna find a few movies or eps of smth to watch to analyze ~how they handle heavy exposition

like, if we get a really strong charles actor, it will be fine but...if we don’T we wanna make sure it still flows...

i also feel like this is really our first good look at rowena!!

on the court side of this one, tho, this is really alex’s ep and through him we meet the other two beaumonts - in avelina’s case we get to know her better than anyone really wants to know her ;DDDD

this is also where it’s most natural to delve into the godiva/arrington thing a bit more, since avelina will mostly rave about it ;D

it would also be a good place to develop the dmitrei/avelina and lay the groundwork for general #teambeaumont stuff

EPISODE 4

note: so far, this is the least developed ep!! bc of this, i was actually thinking maybe we should move the alex/avelina confrontation and therefore the godiva/arrington backstory to this ep?? it would also cut down on the amount of exposition in the prev ep which i think would be good

i feel like james and guin are at the forefront of this ep

this one is action heavy and also explores the theme of what we’re willing to do when pushed to extremes 

the resistance faced w the starvation of the ppl, james faced w a literal volcano ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it’s also v much a ‘passage of time’ ep as roran and arya train and james learns how to eat mangoes the right way ;D

also w the alex/guin plot, we have lots of opportunities to strengthen the suspense of her entire...situation

and wrap up anything we need wrapped up at house fontaine before jon arrives

also the fontaines prepping for jon’s arrival

also, if we haven’t before, here would be a good place to firmly establish arthur’s connection to the two elder fontaines so we know he’s in ~deep before jon arrives...and stiLL does nothing when he does

EPISODE 5

this is a big beaumont ep!! i feel like the big dynamics in this ep are celion and team beaumont

i also feel like it’ll be interesting to watch those develop in conjunction esp since celia gets her rude awakening soon

dezod also figures prominently for the first time so this might be a good place to learn more about him

jon is the main/obv antagonist of this ep - dezod is also but its not yet clear he’s an antagonist yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also, lots of sorcerers in this ep, what w the whole #dezodclassreunion thing going on

in fact, this may be where we learn rowena’s a witch, once and for all, tho im sure we’ve had many hints before now, if not a definite confirmation

either way, this is a good time to talk about magic

if we wanna do avelina’s dabbling in sorcery in season 1, this might be a good place to put it

this might also be where we learn about the prophecy?????

EPISODE 6

this is really a fontaine-centric ep

actually, in a way, lord fontaine is the central character tho also not ;D he’s sort of the macguffin, if you will hahaha

i feel like this is a good place to further explore each of the fontaines and their various relationships both together and w others

the other major set of characters here is the pirates - including james

w jon firmly in place as an antagonist and the compare/contrast w the various fontaine courtship styles going on, i feel like this is where we more fully explore the softer side of cassius which we’ve been developing the whole time

we also get the interplay between lynessa’s feelings vs the demands of her ambition - tho its not necessarily written in such clear terms yet 

we see diff vers of her firmly set w 3 diff men: cassius, jon, and joseph

we also see team beaumont actually at work as they lay a trap for jon and thus seal lord fontaine’s fate

EPISODE 7

so obv the big four here are isabella, ophelia, roran, and cedric

also we should show whatever the other resistance members are doing as well, esp if we can come up w a plot for charles and alaric and arya

a theme here could be unity/faith - the having thereof as seen in cedric and roran and the lack of it as seen in the fontaine household and the appearance of it as seen in cassius and guin and the betrayal of it as seen by isabella against roran and cedric

it’s also about the pov of the peasantry vs the nobility that we’ve been seeing so much of

since there’s only one plotline here atm i don’t have a whole lot more to analyze about fluffing out this ep atm hahaha

EPISODE 8

this could be a big alaric ep, given that a lot of the plot revolves around the plans and actions of the resistance

we could fill in about his past here - his rearing as a lord, his seat on the council, his imprisonment

potentially we could juxtapose alaric to arthur, here, since we see some of arthur in present and would, if we decide to do flashbacks, see him there

and next week arthur’s own past actions and choices will be revealed

in any case, this or the next ep could be a good place for jon and arthur to fight (tho it takes on much more significance in the final ep so this one might be better)

that way, it was last season so he’s not as big a suspect as cassius and alex who fight w him in s2 but their dislike is still firmly established

we also see that roran has not learned anything from the past two eps - reinforcing his growth when he does after cedric’s death

stopping the enforcer and taking the castle are the main action of the ep

also we could def have some wedding prep in this ep

possibly avelina and lynessa extract a promise from jon/his men to retrieve celia asap

EPISODE 9

obv this is rowena’s big ep where we get our answers about her and she takes her place as a fully-fledged (but sympathetic) villain

that being said, she’s technically a protagonist of this ep

this one’s also action-heavy, what w the whole siege of the castle

we should also give each member of the resistance a hero moment that sort of closes out their character arc for the season and points them towards next season’s arc or at least gives the viewer whose fav character they are some sense of closure for the season ;D

we also have to give our other plotlines for the season some sense of closure tho not necessarily resolution

for example, we have to do something w the lynessa plotline even tho we know she marries jon in the v next ep so there’s no resolution - for example, maybe joseph admits his feelings to her or smth

so yeah we need to do smth momentous for each of our key characters:

lynessa

celia 

the thieves thing + kiss will serve for celion

cedric 

obv he dies heroically

roran 

fights cassius w charles and arya and learns the dire consequences of recklessness, etc.

charles 

finally takes up arms against cassius for the first time since cassius murdered his bro and all their friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but only to protect roran #iweep

dezod - actually im not sure he needs anything but isabella and ophelia may

guin

james 

the thieves thing + kiss will serve for celion

rowena 

learns there’s a new dragonrider and she’s noT safe

helena

alexandir

cassius 

learns that there’s a new dragonrider - his bff’s kid - and fights both him and charles

alaric

jon
