[noramachwitz]

ok, but why are they using the tag 'legit robroners'? *deep sigh at ed twitter team for the 1000th time*

please i’ve been rolling my eyes at them all day because to nobody’s surprise now that there’s robron spoilers suddenly they’re super active again when they didn’t even didn’t even tweet one single thing during the episode last friday once again the inconsistency is just unprofessional

Hi so i wanted to know what you love about jonerys cuz i dont hate them but i dont feel any chemistry between them and am bored when they interact. i feel like theyre endgame so i want to enjoy their scenes before the show ends. It might be the incestyness idek😂 (Ive been following your blog since 2014/15 when you used to write huuge insightful meta about robron that made my heart ache in good ways. i miss them and seeing you blog about robron but i get why with the current shitstorm)

Hello love!

Man this ask took me back! I used to love writing Robron metas. But I would always be inspired when there were parts of their story that needed to be expanded on or things that needed a closer look. I liked talking about the different ways we could see things and where there characters were coming from. But then they started explaining themselves better both to the audience and to each other and there was less of a need for them. Then said shitstorm came a long and now I’m all rusty and not nearly as in touch with them as I used to be :((

But this ask was about Jonerys so… 

It is 110% cool if you just aren’t feeling it. Shipping is like love - if it’s not there for you it’s not there and you can’t force it! I especially get how with this ship there are parts that some people can’t get past. 

I knew plenty about GoT before I actually started watching the show (let’s be real it’s almost impossible to avoid if you’re on the internet). So I had seen that people shipped them a long time ago and I thought they were really cute. Both Kit and Emilia are ridiculously attractive and imho they both would have chemistry with a brick wall - so put them together and it’s like wow. 

I didn’t know until a few weeks ago that A) they had just met face to face this season and B) that they were related. So I kinda had a preexisting idea about them before I knew the incest stuff. I just knew going in that people had been shipping them for nearly 20 years or something like that so by the time the I found out they were related I was already somewhat invested.

The show has done a great job of connecting their stories visually and through plot points so that was also a real life factor that played into for me personally. They’ve done great job of matching camera angles and movement during parallel story points for the characters and stuff like that. The plot similarities connect them in a way no other characters can relate to as completely as they can related to each other. Sorry, I feel like I’m getting off track….

Other than the natural chemistry I feel between the actors there is also the fact that they have a very epic vibe both in real life and within the story. They’ve been presented as two sides of the same coin, opposing forces of nature that have the ability to balance each other out perfectly. I am such a sucker for epic romances! Hence my main otps being Robron and CS. 

I love when you can go back and see the journey that two people had to take to become the exact person they needed to become to be perfect for the person that they’re destined to be with. That sounds really convoluted but you get what I mean.

I love two characters whose stories are so deeply interwoven that a connection between them feels inevitable in hind sight. I love stories of people who have been broken by the world, people have had life chip away at them until they feel like all that’s left of them are pieces. And I LOVE when two people who are nothing but pieces find each other and discover that all that they have left is exactly what someone else is missing. That kind of storytelling and that level of build up for a connection between two people is the kind that gets it’s hooks in me and won’t let go. 

As for the incest bit like… it’s Game of Thrones. I have always been good at adjusting what I consider acceptable based of the reality of the show I’m watching. Like with Robron - if it weren’t a soap I would have peaced out long ago because the shit they put each other through was a whole other level of fucked up. But I adjust my expectations and my tolerance based on the show I’m watching. Same goes for Jonerys. In the realm of the show it’s not that strange. And tbh I completely forget that part when I’m watching them. I legit don’t even think about it. 

So I mean… to each their own ya know. There’s an armada of ships in the Ocean of Tears and not all of them are going to have what you like on them and that’s cool keep on rowing til you find the ones that float your boat!

I’m Northern Irish, so yeah, I’m well familiar with British soaps. I used to watch EastEnders & Hollyoaks religiously growing up; dipped in and out of Neighbors/Home & Away as well. But like you said, it’s easy to fall behind when real life takes over, so I stopped watching a good few years back. It was only the past few months I stumbled across Robert & Aaron’s story from Emmerdale on YouTube and fell down a hole again lol The actors have such great chemistry, I’m now hooked lol

Hollyoaks I gave up because…when I watched it, it was around late 00s and early 10s. And in this period was where it went through the major revamp and killing characters left and right. At first it was gripping to watch - like the Silas storyline but after a while they just kept bringing in new characters and many characters kept dying. I missed the older Hollyoaks with O.B and Max etc. Like why would you move to Hollyoaks when you read in the paper and media about all the deaths and murder?

Emmerdale, I first got into it when the Bartons came onscreen around 2009, I particularly got hooked into Holly’s drug addiction, but then by 2011/2012 half the Bartons left and life took over so I stopped. I then dropped in and out of it for a while, then came back when Holly returned. I dropped out then returned for Lachlan’s storyline but dropped out when he first left and then they killed off Joe Tate soon afterwards.

I get the actor wanted to leave, but how can you let go of this handsome piece of art, lol.

As for Robron, I’m a fan but it took me a while because of their beginning. I’m an Aaron stan before a Robron stan so I thought Aaron deserved better, but now that they are settled and it’s a legit thing for Robert, I eventually fell in love with it. But I stay out of fandom stuff because I’m relatively chill about a lot of stuff a lot of fans seem to hate (like Seb and Rebecca. It’s not my favourite thing, but I don’t have the drastic views that others have). But I haven’t watched it recently, I’ve kept up with the articles though. I was going to go back when I read that Lachlan would return, but then I read about how quick his stint was and what happened and I was just so disappointed. His first exit was just anticlimactic after the episodes they just had. And this one? It was pointless. It didn’t need to happen because nothing really changed. If it didn’t happen, nothing would change.

EastEnders was the first soaps I got into. But in recent years it hasn’t been doing much for me. Like even when I don’t watch it, I would always watch it around Christmas episodes because of the big episodes they tend to be - I didn’t do it this year. I think it’s because a lot of my favourites are gone and some newbies don’t do much for me. Also I like Sonia and I remember as a kid liking Sonia and Martin - but they aren’t doing anything with Sonia. Last I remember after she broke up with Tina, her only storyline has been being a mum to Bex. And Stacy…I need a breather from her because she practically gets away with everything while coming off as sanctimonious about it.

ROBRON WEEK DAY ONE- "FAMILY"

A little look at the moment everyone learns the family is expanding…

“Aaron will you just tell us?” Aaron looked up from his phone, “No. Not til Robert gets here.” Charity sighed dramatically and sat back, “Why’ve I got to be here?” Aaron huffed, “Because. You’re family and this is a family announcement. Just shut it, drink your tea.” He got up and walked from the room into the pub, putting his hands up as he sees Robert talking to Harriet, “Oi? We doing this or what?” Robert looked up and pulled an apologetic face and said his goodbyes to Harriet before heading round the bar, “Sorry sorry.” Aaron headed toward the door, only to be stopped by Robert pulling on his arm, “Hey?” Aaron turned around and Robert took his hands, “You ready for this?” Aaron took a deep breath, “Yeah. Yeah. Are you? No regrets right?” Robert smirked, “Bit late if I do.” Aaron gave a small smile; his shoulders relaxing as Robert placed a gentle kiss on his lips, “We’re a team. Yeah? We can do this.” Aaron nodded, “Yeah.” He kissed him again, “Come on.” Aaron took a breath, gripped Robert’s hand, and led him back into the room.

They stared at them in a shocked silence until Charity spoke up, “A baby? How the…which one of you is…” She gestured toward them and Aaron narrowed his eyes, “You what?” Robert clicked his tongue, “Obviously we are not pregnant. We have a surrogate.” Charity sat back, “Well excuse me for making a joke.” Chas pushed her, “Shut up. Are you two serious?” Robert put his hands on his hips, “No actually, we thought we’d gather you here for an elaborate joke.” Aaron elbowed him, “Yes. We’re serious.” Chas looked from one to the other, a smile slowly building on her face, “A baby? You two…are having a baby?!” Aaron swallowed, nerves building inside him, “Yeah.” They all jumped as Victoria screamed; leaping from the chair and practically throwing herself into Robert’s arms. Everyone soon followed, filling with the room with jubilant shouts and hugging them both, “Tell us everything! Robert let out a happy sigh and pulled a chair out, "Well…we uh…” He looked at Aaron as he sat as well, “We found a woman, in a-its all legit and legal, we have a lawyer and paperwork and…the baby is ours. Both of us. We had to go to this clinic and they mixed up our-you know. And put it…in her. And then we had to wait for a while because they didn’t know if it would take and she kept having to have these tests and then we had to go and see doctors and I was worried that we didn’t have news because I mean we both have good stuff and-” Aaron put a hand on Robert’s arm, “Stop.” Robert took a breath and let out a laugh, “Sorry.” Aaron looked at everyone, “We had an appointment at the doctors this morning. A scan.” Chas clasped her hands together, “You have a picture?” Robert reached in to his jacket and pulled out a string of photos; glancing down at them and giving Aaron a grin before handing them over. They all crowded around Chas as she studied them, glancing at each other before looking back at the boys, “What are we looking at here?” Aaron gestured, “It’s in the middle-” Robert frowned, “I’m sorry. It?” Aaron looked at him, “Do you know what we’re having?” Robert shrugged, “No…but it’s our kid. Don’t call it, it.” Aaron pinched the bridge of his nose, “The baby is in the middle of the photo.” Victoria pointed at the pictures, “There it is! Oh….wait….that’s not in the other pictures…maybe…is that it?” Cain sighed, standing straight and moving to where the boys where; clapping Aaron on the shoulder, “Good job lad. You too Sugden.” He nodded at them and left as Chas turned the photos upside down, “Oh there it is!” “Stop calling the baby, it!” She waved Robert away and looked at the photo happily, “My first grandchild.” She handed the photos to Diane and stood up, gesturing for Aaron and Robert to stand as well, “Come here my loves.” She hugged them both; pressing a kiss to Aaron’s cheek, then Roberts. “Congratulations.” Aaron pulled away, “Thanks mum.” Robert looked at him, unable to stop grinning as the others all began to congratulate them again.

By the time they were left alone they were exhausted, left sitting on the sofa, staring down at the photos in a happy silence. “They’re happy then?” Robert turned his head with a smile, pressing a kiss to Aaron’s temple then looking down at the photos again, “That’s our baby.” He ran his thumb over the picture gently, “Our family.” Aaron couldn’t stop smiling, “Dysfunctional yet…happy.” Robert smirked, “Slimy yet…satisfying.” Aaron frowned, “You what?” Robert looked at him and rolled his eyes, “You’re gonna need to hone up on your kids films when this one comes along.” Aaron snorted, “Think the fact you’re watching kids movies is a bit more pressing right now.” Robert shifted on the sofa, “Yeah well…figured I needed to be on the same wavelength as you so-ow!” He laughed as Aaron elbowed him, shoving him away and settling back, “Still doesn’t feel real you know? That it’s actually happening.” Aaron squeezed his knee before standing up, “We heard his heartbeat, Rob. It’s happening.” Robert looked up, “His?” Aaron clicked the kettle back on and looked up, “Hmm?” Robert climbed to his feet and walked over, “You said…his.” He put the pictures back in his pocket, “You think it’s a boy?” Aaron shrugged as he reached for the sugar, “Slip of the tongue. Didn’t wanna get told off for saying ‘it’ again.” Robert pulled him around, slipping his arms around his waist and smiling, “Could be a boy.” Aaron rolled his eyes again as he pushed his hands up Robert’s chest, “Could be a girl.” Robert smiled, “A little girl…kind…like you?” Aaron smirked, “Or a drama queen…like you.” Robert tickled him; making him squirm and let out a laugh. He put his arms around him again and smiled, “I think I’d like a son…” Aaron smiled, “Yeah?” Robert shrugged, “I mean…I’ll be thrilled whatever they turn out to be but…a little boy? With your eyes?” “And your hair?” Robert smiled, “Obviously he’ll have the rest of my looks. And my brains…” It was Aaron’s turn to tickle him then, “Okay! Okay!” He tucked some stray hairs behind Aaron’s ear and cupped his face, “Whatever we have…as long as they’re part you they’ll be the best person.” Aaron smiled gently as he leant in to the touch, “Not as great as they’ll be if they’re part you.” He pulled him in, kissing him slowly before pulling away, “It’s really happening.” Robert smiled, “Baby Sugden.” Aaron frowned, “Uh? Baby Dingle, thank you very much.” Robert bit his lip, “How about…Sugden-Dingle?” Aaron raised an eyebrow, “Double barrel? In this family?” Robert shrugged, “Why not?” Aaron leant up, meeting his lips again, “Sounds perfect.” Robert smiled against his lips and kissed him again; pressing him back against the cabinet and deepening it before pulling back slightly, “Aaron?” Aaron didn’t open his eyes, wanting the kiss to go on, wanting it to go further, “Yeah?” Robert brushed their noses together, “Kettles boiled.” He gave the man a quick peck and stepped back, “Come on. Chop chop. We have things to plan.” He dodged the towel that Aaron threw at him with a laugh, leaving him to make the tea as he returned to the sofa.

“Are they mad?” Aaron looked over from where he was reading a magazine, “What’s that?” Liv didn’t look up from the photos as she repeated the question, “About me knowing about the baby before they did?” Robert placed a mug of tea in front of her, “Why would they be mad?” Liv shrugged as she handed the photos back to him, “Cos I knew. They didn’t.” Aaron dropped the magazine, pulling a stool out and sitting beside her, “You live here Liv.” Robert chuckled and they looked up, “Sorry. Live…Liv.” He cleared his throat and turned to grab his own mug as Aaron shook his head, “Anyway…you…reside here. Of course you’re gonna know.” Liv smiled, “So…do I have to be Auntie Liv?”

1 I honestly don't know how to feel about Moira beating Cain. I mean obviously you should never hit anyone other than in self defence, and I know you made me do it is the oldest exuse in the book, but at the same time... Didnt he kind of push her to it? He kept on sabotaging her every move to try to come clean, all the while being this condensending asshole about it, then in the kitchen she was clearly at her last straw, and he just wouldnt leave, but just kept on talking. Let's go out

2 for something to eat?! Like seriously dude, you honestly think she wants to sit down and discuss this with you? It's once again this way he has of infantilizing her. I don't know how to put this. Obviously what she did is still wrong, but I just see as not as bad as domestic violence and like there kind of was a reason for it. Not an exuse, but a reason. I really don't know how to put my thoughts to paper so maybe this is just victim blaming, but I just feel for Moira.

It’s a super messy situation all around. Cain, good intentions he might have, and he might love her still and not want her in prison, but he’s going about everything in the wrong way. I mean, he legit locked her in her room so she couldn’t go to the police. No one comes out of this situation looking good. So I do feel for Moira because she does feel so guilty and she wants to just get it over with and confess even if it won’t fix anything now. So I absolutely get why she was so upset but you’re right, it’s not an excuse for reacting with violence. I think the show took things too far. I agree with @memorieswarm in her Woolie Weekly Blog that I think it’s just too much misery to pile onto Moira and the Coira storyline. It’s a lot and it’s going to take a lot to dig them out of this mess they’ve put them in and get them back to a healthier place where they can be together. 

I mean...this is like the wrench throwing moment for Robron. Except that was a sign to Aaron that he needed to take a step back and Moira just isn’t quite in that frame of mind because of everything else. Aaron was suffering but he was slowly removing himself from everything. That was just the last straw. This, for Moira, feels like the start of more misery for her and I’m concerned how far they’re going to take it. I mean, hopefully it can remain an isolated incident and they can address it again and move on from it, but we shall see. I’m just happy to be a robron fan instead of a diehard coira fan right now because potentially having to deal with Seb seems a lot more bearable than the hole they have to dig Coira out of.
