#Undoomed family dynamics

[mmmm-burnt-eggs]

Bring Tessa Elliot back as a (Worker/Murder) Drone

Bring Ambertwo back as a Mewtwo

Bring Maria Robotnik back as a Hedgehog

Do not question how the last one works.

Do not question how any of them work.

Undoom the family dynamics

Or Yuri if you're a Jessa fan

Like, found family but they become *like* their family literally, physically, and metaphorically?

What your favorite Re:Zero Ship says about You!

(Obviously inspired by Eldena Doubleca5t's videos)

Emilia/Subaru: you've always had a thing for the "knight who's willing to die for his lady" trope, but one day you said to yourself "you know what's better? A knight who HAS died for his lady, and will happily continue to do so".

Rem/Subaru: your heart shatters every time the phrases "I love Emilia" and "Who's Rem?" are uttered. You are desperate to get Sloth IF animated, but not desperate enough to actually read it.

Ram/Subaru: you are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of getting dunked on.

Priscilla/Subaru: you want Priscilla to step on you. Moving on.

Crusch/Subaru: you want Crusch to step on you. Moving on.

Reinhardt/Subaru: you love the idea of the strongest man in the universe being weak for the literal weakest. Pride IF is your jam.

Julius/Subaru: you liked the aesthetics of Reinhardt/Subaru, but you thought it'd be hotter if they fucking hated each other.

Otto/Subaru: your favorite relationship dynamic is BoxXBoytoy.

Felix|Ferris/Subaru: you have very politically-incorrect thoughts about Bridget from Guilty Gear.

Julius/Anastasia: you liked the knight and lady dynamic of Subaemi, you just thought the knight should...you know...actually act like a knight (also, you like the color purple)

Geese/Fortuna: you wish Emilia grew up with a happy family. You probably like SAO.

(Spoiler Ships after the Read More)

Al/Priscilla: you would've shipped Subaru/Emilia, but you didn't think he'd died for her ENOUGH.

Vincent/Chisha: you are always down for Yaoi so doomed any attempt at undooming it just makes it even more doomed.

Wilhelm/Theresia (technically not a spoiler, but most info remains to be in the anime, so throwing it here just in case): their scenes make you weep uncontrollably. The Wilhem EXs are the single greatest thing Tappei's written in your mind.

Carol/Theresia: you are always down for gals being pals.

Carol/Grimm: you just want to enjoy a perfectly healthy relationship in this series for once.

Crusch/Fourier: you just want good things for Fourier. And really, who wouldn't.

In relation to the ask game, monk?

Also btw your art is great it’s been so fun following it for so long :3

Thank you so much! <3

Monk: what is your favorite canon relationship?

Hahaha. :) In case this was somehow not obvious, it’s Laudna and Imogen. They had me by the throat within seconds of their introduction.

And okay here’s the thing I’ve only ever had one (1) character relationship dynamic that I really care about. Like, this isn’t my criteria for shipping or anything it’s just that ships I get hyperfixation-level attached to happen to fall in this one weirdly specific category and it is this: romantic friendship between two magical and/or monster ladies, one pastel and one goth. One of them is doomed or carrying around some kind of Destiny and the other one is Very Concerned about it.

Whether or not they’re actually kissing doesn’t matter*, it’s the strength of the bond between them that makes my heart try to escape my ribs. Bonded like shelter cats who can’t be adopted separately. No one else more important to them than each other. A love that can (and does) save or end worlds.

It’s had a few iterations over the years but it’s never been canon before. I’ve always had to do a lot of AU heavy lifting because there’s some canon heteronormative boyfriend in the way or the setting was mostly original content and characters because the source material didn’t have many so the ship was half fanon to begin with or something. So to have the exact thing I’ve been longing for for probably close to 20 years fully realized and canonical handed to me right at the start of the campaign permanently altered my psyche. I have not cared this much about fictional characters in ever.

And what’s really special about it is that they are BOTH the magical and monster ladies!! And they are both doomed by their destiny while being very concerned about the other’s and trying to undoom each other! They understand each other on a soul-deep level – Laudna is the only person whose thoughts don’t cause Imogen psychic pain and Imogen was the first person in her whole undeath to regard her with compassion rather than fear. They were each the unique antidote for the other’s loneliness. And it’s beautiful!!!!

And they absolutely check all of the romantic friendship boxes so it was everything I wanted right from the start. While everyone was (understandably) crowing “Imodna canon!!” after episode 65 because they kissed I was kind of like Oh! Okay! This is new. :) :) but it didn’t change me as a person because that had already happened. They were canon from the beginning. The bond was always there. Imogen would have gone into hell and dragged Laudna out of it regardless of whether she had romantic feelings for her. They can’t be adopted separately!!

(CR asks)

*(I actually kind of prefer it without the conventional-romantic “dating” aspect because fandom in general tends to value the romance over the friendship but it’s not as compelling to me because I'm ace and though romantic and sexual attraction are two different things, the prevailing cultural understanding of "romance" tends to presume both and I'm just not interested. Intense friendship used to be much more of a social norm but it fell out of favor with the rise of the Standard Nuclear Family in the 20th century. But whether or not they could have remained a Strong Platonic Female Friendship has already been examined. ;) )

appreciation post for professional amateurs i am processing yet again how. special the dynamic is. (throws up in my mouth)

i have known both of them since we were children, but only ever online. two of us are the sole reason why the third can even work towards a free future at ALL. we have legitimately undoomed the narrative through our combined efforts. we have all been through our separate journeys and hurdles, only occasionally crossing but always ever present on the outskirts of each other's lives, like a passive supporting brick wall to lean on to catch your breath. we have the same easy discussion and relegation of people who can only find solace in forbidden literary groups, and the same camaraderie as men who have lived and fought in wars together. we do not consider each other like family, or partners at all, but our solidarity as a group excels all of our other relationships without unhealthily drowning out any of them.

we lack co dependency,, but provide eachother with much of the same "safe place to land" as a partner would. we can have freeflow and socially damnable discussions while maintaining being different people with differing worldviews and morals and patterns of thought. we are the living embodiment of "without condoning, nor condemning, i understand." we are the only people we know who understand what it's like to lack a feeling of romantic love.

i would not give these two up for anything in the world, because it simply wouldn;t be worth it.

it boggles my mind that most other people do not have active friendships like this

People always ask "Who is Ambertwo?"

(Picture of Ambertwo-two flipping hand one way)

And never "How are we going to undoom Ambertwo's family dynamic?"

(Picture of Ambertwo-two flipping her hand the other way with Dr. Fuji and Mewtwo behind her)

But what if I made Ambertwo into a Mewtwo >:D

Yeah, I did talk about an idea like this a while ago, so here. Take it.

Whatever it takes, she will find him. The last being she remembers seeing before she woke up again.

After all, souls don't stay dead for long in the Pokémon world.

Ambertwo-two, lol.

Who knows if I'll actually expand on this.
