[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

jin guangshan and lan qiren yaoi perhaps? since their shapes create a perfect balance?

Two old men perform worlds first successful 96.

i think we as a fandom can have a little toxic alastor ships as a treat. him being aromantic and only dating purely to manipulate or abuse. just as a little treat i think

People who really like shuake also seem to write themselves into a corner wrt Akechi and his relationship to Akiras team. Contrary to popular belief, the team, including Haru, does not hate Akechi. At worst, they tolerate him and deal with his attitude. Hes a good teammate and respectable fighter and the team recognizes that at the end of the day, he was a teenager who was manipulated and abused by a man who saw him as disposable. Just about every thief understands this intimately. They have the same mindset wrt adults who take advantage of the people beneath them. Under different circumstances they wouldve been friends. And if u approach it from that angle, it becomes less about Akechi being the sole person who ‘gets’ Akira, and more about the thieves being the only people in the world who ‘get’ Akechi.

When you expand your thoughts to include the thieves as members of his Team and not roadblocks that get in the way of your ideal shipping dynamic, you allow urself to give Akechi and Akira more depth and nuance to their own relationship.

Akira and Akechi are wildcards; both of them struggle with the face they choose to display to the world. Its the first time Akira interacts with someone who is, at a literal, technical level, his ‘equal’. But Akechi is one of many firsts for Akira yeah? Every thief has their bond with Akira thats completely unique and personal. Akechi will never be the person who witnesses Akiras Awakening, hes never the person who watches Akira have his restless nights alone in the attic, and hes never the person who realizes in real time that the teenager hes housing is just Some Kid, not the delinquent hes been warned about. Hes not Ann or Yusuke, or any of the thieves; he doesnt have the time or experience that they have with Akira, and I think its interesting to explore that part of their relationship, shippy or not.

Akechi is someone who is incredibly lonely and self depreciating despite his cockiness and attitude. He has no positive bonds to speak of save for his connection with Sae. To have him see a team that works together and cares for each other, how do you think he would feel? Out of place? Inferior in some way? Angry about how hes been alone for so long in this single minded quest for revenge? Wouldnt that be a point of struggle between the two of them? I think what makes shuake good for me is knowing that Akechi needs alot of time to heal, and the thieves would want to help with that process. They do it bc they care, bc Akira cares, and bc they trust Akiras opinion (and he trusts theirs in return); if Akira feels like Akechi is someone who can be trusted Now after everything thats happened, then the thieves would do their best to help. And how would Akechi feel about that? Angry about the show of pity? That even now, he has no real say in what happens to him? Or begrudgingly grateful that they are cordial with him? Because they do care, he KNOWS they care, they care TOO MUCH actually; but the one thing he values over brawn and wits is honesty- fighting for what you believe in without having to use soft words to justify it.

Me: Ugh Bakugo x Deku? Didn't Bakugo tell Deku to kill himself? Doesn't Bakugo bully Deku all the damn time and we can see how it effects Deku? I don't care if he changed as a person, I still don't like it!(I respect those who ship it tho)

Also me: hehe Ribbun...

hater has disturbing reoccurring dreams about wander crawling inside his ribcage that always have him waking up in a cold sweat [they just feel too real and hater can’t place why]. wander has reoccurring dreams of hater ceremoniously destroying him with the Disaster Blaster and it’s the one dream he doesn’t eagerly blab to sylvia about because he doesn’t know how to tell her that it never feels like a nightmare. soooo is anyone else sick in the head or is it just me

the fact that harry and b’elanna get reduced to “nice” and “angry” respectively in like 90% of voyager fanfic is like… how are so many people managing to outracist the VOYAGER writers

[garnetislovegarnetislife]

got blocked by someone for saying that while yes, daemon does LOVE rhaenyra, it is a selfish and self-absorbed/narcissistic love. hotd fans try to fucking see that all of your favs are terrible people and its okay to acknowledge that while still liking them challenge failure no. 1,000,000

My brain just hit an old hyperfixation (is this what it's called? I hope I used the word right) and oh dear am I losing my mind now. I need to write a story I think. About this one old guy. He's unhinged. There's so much information about him and yet not enough. I want to explore his character so much. He's definitely a criminal - at least he was one - and I'm 95% sure he can do actual real magic, and he's a musician and an artist and an actor and a magician and a philosopher and a traveler and a conman and so much more and also I think he's some kind of immortal. Maybe he just has a VERY long life. It's strongly implied he was a pirate at some point of his life. He started a cult by accident several times. My conspiracy theories about him include him being a secret god.

He's also a freaking round blue raven. Someone save me from my mind.

It was crazy watching bkdk go from the most hated ship to the most popular ship in the fandom

[anovertureinyellow]

Do people still make these?

Might post the blank template too but I need to clean it up a bit first.

May I offer you a toxic yuri threesome in these trying times?

[littlemissmoodswings]

interrupting my fallout flow to say – i've fallen headfirst into hotd.

i fear i am plotting a hades and persephone au fic for daemon and rhaenyra...

[alenoah-likerr]

"Where did alenoah even come from"

"Alenoahs so toxic"

Both of these can be said about *nearly* any non cannon ship I'm sick of these just being used on alenoah

"they barely interacted"

Ok and?

People will do anything just to hate on alenoah

(in my experience)

preach!!​ ofc disliking alenoah is fine but going out of your way to hate is funny to me

in my opinion, ships that don't interact much in canon are AWESOME!! if they have enough dynamic, i could start with that and just run wild and do whatever with them,,

[seagull-scribbles]

what if they where T4T?! What then?
