Actually Healthy Couples

Love how there biblically accurate angels canonically

in a time where shows subtly danced around the dynamics between their protagonists, left everything up for interpretation, and didn't elaborate, explore, or have them express their feelings with each other, white collar had neal tell his deadbeat dad that peter is more of a dad to him than he ever was and i just think that's beautiful

[venice-1987]

As much as I would enjoy a kiss at their reunion, I do think the dragon prince crew would do something softer when (not if <-clown emoji) Sorvus is made canon. I'm picturing Corvus and Ezran and Callum arriving at the castle like in the promo image, them checking up with Opeli and she reveals everything is fine.

But Corvus asks about Soren. "Where is he?" he asks, his mind already wandering to the possibility that Soren...hadn't made it out. He will himself to remain strong for his king, but his body fills with dread. Thankfully, Opeli points him to the river.

There, Soren sits on the banks. Corvus sits beside him, noticing the same pained look in his eyes that he had seen on the ramparts the day Soren asked him to become a crownguard. Now, that same pain encompassed how he sat, how he stared mournfully into the waters.

Corvus asks is he is alright, and Soren can't even answer, holding back what emotion he can to maintain his cheerful attitude. He is failing miserably. Something more terrible than the Storm Spire must have happened. Something worse than Katolis burning down.

Corvus lays his hand over Soren's on the rock. Soren looks from it to Corvus, then shifts so that he can hold Corvus's hand back.

Like Janai and Amaya, its a confirmation.

and, of course, at the end of arc 2 or start of arc 3 (affirm affrim, manifest manifest, like to charge reblog to cast) then we get a kiss, teehee

"And if you EVER talk bad about MY Plumgum Cupcake, Pudding Pie, puppy-faced Cutie Patootie Shmoopsie Boopsi Booboo, Sweetheart, Sunshine, Honey Bunch, Teddy Bear, Boytoy AGAIN, I'll make sure your dismantled disheveled bubblized body NEVER gets a proper burial!!"

Back at it again with everyone's (me and me alone's) favorite straight ship in the Rayverse <33333

Progress below cut:

Sometimes I brainrot about these two a little too much. It usually occurs when someone likes my og post about them💀

One of my (least) favorite things to see is when people portray Teensy Queen as a damsel in distress. Like yeah, she's feminine n stuff and probably doesn't like getting dirty, but like, gurl whoops ass. She will go out of her way to beat up people who hurt the people closest to her.

And since Teensy Ray is kinda a super massive pushover out in public, you could imagine that occurs a lot.

Teensy Ray (despite being incredibly embarrassed) loves how she stands up for him. He's gotten nicer treatment from the public since they came out as together. Half of the public respect him b/c his ability to basically rizz up one of the most legitimate lines of royalty. The other half is just scared of Queen, so they leave him alone💀.

Don't mess with her or her boyfailure malewife. You won't escape with any unbroken bones and intact joints.

Also, thanks to my homie @supgoddo, the name of the bird species on Teensy Ray's head is called a whiffler. This one in particular is named Whiffles.

Have a good one my brokousies >:))

jmart's relationship dynamic is actually so interesting because it takes a situation that could so easily be unhealthy - in fact, it's pretty much impossible to have a completely normal relationship under these circumstances - and does the very best it can with it. there is so so much that could go wrong in a relationship where you're both traumatized as hell, have been together for three weeks tops when the literal apocalypse starts, that apocalypse brings an incredible power dynamic to your relationship, and one of you seems determined to fulfill his martyr complex. i think it's a little bit silly to expect them not to argue. aside from the fact that a little bit of conflict is probably healthy, you cannot seriously think none of it would come up? you cannot seriously say you would be happy for none of it to be discussed?

and yet, i feel like they, for the most part, do an incredible job of communicating. it takes a bit of coaxing, but they talk about a lot of their issues, set up boundaries that they then follow, and when things do boil over they actively search each out to apologize. season five makes a really strong case for how good of a couple they could have been if only the stakes had been lesser and they'd gone through less trauma - the tragic irony of course being that that trauma is precisely what made them grow so close in the first place - and it think it's overall some really good relationship writing. a good balance between their individual characters, how those two interact, and how they interect with their current circumstances both as individuals and as a duo

I love you. I wish I'd said it more. But I love you, Quinlan, and...' His throat closed up, his eyes stinging. His lips brushed her brow. 'Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again. I promise.

see, the main reason that glimmadora works is because they were always on equal footing, even when they were not getting along. neither glimmer nor adora used their power over the other, and neither of them took the other for granted. even when they were fighting, you could sense a mutual respect there. adora was not scared to stand her own ground, if she knew she was right.

and when glimmer said something insensitive to adora in s4, adora was allowed to be mad at her. she was allowed to not immediately forgive glimmer, even when she tried to apologize something catra never did. whereas if this same conflict happened with catra, adora would be forced to apologize instead. she would be the one to take responsibility and try to make catra happy.

in catra's and adora's relationship, catra always had power over adora. she knew the right things to say if she wanted to shut adora up or make her feel guilty for something that wasn't her fault. and catra knew this. she literally brags to lonnie about her girlfriend being easy to manipulate. isn't that so cute?

adora never had to walk on eggshells around glimmer, she didn't have to apologize for every little thing. she didn't have to constantly put glimmer's feelings above her own. her efforts never went unrewarded. glimmer didn't take adora for granted, unlike catra. even after all their conflict in s4, when adora asks glimmer to stay, she does. she respects adora's feelings and decides to compromise.

Preliminary Round

Actually Healthy Couples

[dollypopup]

just gonna say that Colin's exclusion from all things release date announcement (and the lack of pushback about it) is just another instance in a long line of actions that demonstrate that no one gives a fuck about his character. he is constantly sidelined, constantly denied scenes, constantly denied perspective, talked down on, denied characterization and complexity in writing, basically only ever existing as Penelope's prize. The show began this trend, foisted it to the fandom, but the fandom has exacerbated Colin's mistreatment as a character beyond even the show's lack of care toward him

EVERYONE has just. . idk, decided it's better for Colin to exist as Penelope's HEA reward for her shitty family / being ignored or some shit when he's supposed to be HALF THE FUCKING PAIRING. Where is HIS depth? HIS motives? HIS struggles and celebrations? Where are all the meta analysis of his character? The character study stories that don't just make his entire existence Penelope? Where are the stories where his family defends him, where he can demonstrate and forge strong bonds with people who love him? Where are the explorations of his past and motives?

Nowhere.

This fandom has proven time and time again he's secondary to us. Colin isn't a character, Colin is a punching bag. Or a projection of the guy who rejected us. Or an empty minded sexy lamp. Or a flat cardboard cutout for people to dump whatever they want on him. BUT HE'S MEANT TO BE A CHARACTER. A character with desires and experiences and connections that deserve the fucking spotlight for ONCE

when is someone other than Luke Newton (and like 5 of my fellow Colin peeps) going to give Colin the credit he deserves? like who is in his corner? when is he finally going to get to be a character? when will he finally get explored? when will he get the time to shine? no one seems to think it needs a priority

not the showrunners, not Shonda (who once said she didn't even think he was 'clever enough' for Penelope, fuck you very much for that one), not the Bton fandom, certainly not Polin, not anyone

forget the two parter and the date release and the wait or whatever. my favorite fucking character is being sidelined in his own season and no one gives a damn

Guys I've just thought about something, what if there is a scene similar to the IT Chapter 2 (2019) scene where Ben confesses his love for Beverly and reveals himself to be the one who wrote the poem for her and not Bill while they are fighting Pennywise's visions, what if we have a scene where Byler are fighting Vecna's visions and Mike (close to death) confesses his love for Will and tells him how much he means to him while they are at the same time fighting for their lives and then that gives Will the strength to fight Vecna's visions (similar to Beverly) and then he saves Mike 😭😭💙💛 Byler has had alot of similarities with Benverly so this could happen in S5 🤷‍♀️

When you're an adult, but you are still unashamedly obsessed with a wonderful fictional relationship...
