See Frieren x Himmel is canonically doomed and that's part of the overall narrative, Frieren will outlive almost everyone she ever meets but she slowly starts to build more and more relationships in spite of that and Himmel was one of the biggest catalysts in her changing in this way

But they also have this "this is how it can still win" vibe to it because Frieren is literally traveling to the afterlife specifically to visit Himmel, and along the way she's changing and very slowly embracing love in all these different forms from the people around her, one of which was from Himmel

So it's doomed but it still feels like they'll definitely have a happy ending too, it's an interesting dynamic

kitty and yuri becoming one of the main ships in xo kitty was so shocking because like i know i shipped it from the start but youre telling me netflix also shipped it???? and then DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT???????

[the-woman-upstairs]

Definitely want a second season of XO, Kitty if only for the ensuing hilarity that would come from the two most popular students in school fighting each other over the dorky American transplant who barely passed her classes.

omg tell us about your new hawke

her name’s esther, she’s a slightly purple-tinged blue mage hawke who considers her family and friends extraordinary but herself a very ordinary woman just trying to get by. she went from helping with the twins all her childhood to becoming a single mother when she was about nineteen or twenty. the father was not as willing to run away for a mage partner and child as leandra was! which she insists was completely reasonable and she’s fine about it. (she’s known for a fact since she was a kid that fairytales of true love really do happen, but she learned then that they don’t happen to her.) she pretends not to like the violent mercenary life she had to take up to support the family, but how true is that? it’s the first time in her life that the good responsible thing for her to do has been to stay out of the house and actually use her magic. she indulges in the excuse a little more than she thinks she should

she’s responsible and sweet, capable of being funny when coaxed to abandon her natural shyness, with a less obvious ruthless streak: there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for her baby. she’s a bit uncertain about the prospect of mage defiance. certainly she wants her own little family to stay free, but malcolm also raised her to very firmly follow the strict magical guidance he learned from the circle and told a lot of cautionary tales, so she’s somewhat wary of what other mages (who she has had little to no contact with) get up to without that training. also, she cannot be getting into any rebellions, because she has the aforementioned baby to get home to. (then again, some may ask if it’s really keeping that kid safe to raise it in a world full of templars.) like i said, she thinks of herself as someone simply trying to get by, and just managing that is more than enough trouble. her heartstrings are relatively easily pulled on, though, so i’m interested to see how all that goes if i stick with her for any length of time

may the best bait win! propaganda under the cut

hardwon and moonshine:

They’re DnD characters so they’re bi disasters canonically. Just not for each other The best way to describe Hardshine is this: “They’re soulmates” “Platonically or romantically?” “Yes” Literally they care so much about each other. Moonshine cured Hardwon’s vampirism by reincarnating him into a half elf and he told her “I’ve been half elf ever since I met you”. Moonshine is a high level elf druid which means she’ll basically live forever and literally the most emotional scene where she asks her mom “How long do half-elves live?”. Hardwon was always a fish out of water who never really fit in until he found Moonshine and the Crick. Are they dating? Queerplatonic partners? Siblings? Idk man they’re just in love it doesn’t matter how.

raleigh and mako:

Literally everything about the writing of Pacific Rim make it seem like they're setting up for a romance between these two and then they just. Don't. Despite this, "drift compatable" was one of the most popular AUs for couples after the film came out for a hot minute because of how romantic they (mako and raleigh) made the concept seem.

Tatort gucken ist ja eigentlich nur alten Leuten beim schamlos flirten zusehen

"He [Rauru] ends up serving as the crucial connection between Link and Zelda, even when thousands of years separate the two. It’s a sad but meaningful role for a character who has become a newly beloved character in Zelda canon."
