Hi there! How are you?

I saw your matchup requests are open so I'd like to request a romantic mashup for DC and Marvel, please ♡

I'm a 27 years old non-binary person, I'm pan : gender doesn't matter to me in a relationship. I am very curvy/fat, around 5'6, I have short dark brown hair and amber-ish/brown eyes. I wear golden wire glasses. I dress mostly in black, greens, browns, whites and some yellow here and there. Kinda dark/light academia I guess? I do love my fluffy pink purse tho. I like accessories and putting on very over the top makeup.

My favorite hobbies are tending to my plants, walking and playing with my lovely dog, cooking food from other cultures, reading (I do have several bookshelves), I do lots of arts and crafts like sewing or paper flowers. I also refurbished an old armchair a little while ago and repair stuff around my rented apartment. I like sewing and repairing clothes. Love hiking too.

I'm a very curious person I suppose, I like learning new stuff, I speak French and English and I am learning Portuguese and Arabic. I'm outspoken and talkative but I can recognize easy enough when I'm in the wrong. I'm passionate about social justice and finding alternatives and building communities. I think I'm resilient, I went through a lot already and I still try to go forward but I am also an anxious person. I have been reading a lot about disability justice those past years since I am myself disabled. I'm going back to study to become a librarian.

My favorite movies are Dead Poets Society and Vincent, my current favorite show are Ghosts (US) and Maid. I love everything Pre-raphaelites, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Art Nouveau. I did travel quite a lot, especially solo with a backpack. I listen to a lot of things : hyperpop, metal, rap, soft pop, jazz. If I like something I tend to listen to it ad nauseam haha. I think I am in love with the song Your Blood by AURORA.

Thank you so much for your patience reading me.

Take care and all the best! - 🦊🍄

Hello! I am good! Thank you for asking! :)

I hope you like your matchups!

<333333

(I also like the US Ghosts!)

I had a lot of fun with this one! #Inspired!

Enjoy!

Romantic Matchups; DC and Marvel

~~~

Romantic;

~~~

DC;

Clark Kent -

You met Clark at the local library when he noticed you struggling to balance an armful of books.

He quickly stepped in, his soft smile instantly putting you at ease.

He was intrigued by your selection - classic literature, art history, and books on social justice - and shyly mentioned how much he admires people who read deeply and critically.

Your shared love of books and learning led to a long conversation, and you ended up recommending some books to each other.

He loved how excited you got talking about your favorites.

At the beginning of the friendship, the both of you would meet at the library, bookstore, or local park to hang out and talk.

Your curiosity and love for learning fascinated him, and he’d bring you small gifts - like a first edition of a favorite book or flowers that reminded him of you.

You’d introduce him to your dog during one of your joined hikes.

Clark was immediately smitten, and your dog adored him just as quickly.

He’d quietly repair things in your apartment whenever you mentioned something broken - your heater works mysteriously well now.

You still don't know how that got fixed...

Clark realized he had feelings for you when you both went hiking and you stopped to admire the sunset.

Your joy was so genuine that he couldn’t stop looking at you. The way the sunlight reflected off your hair, or how the sun shone in your eyes...

Breathtaking.

You noticed your feelings for Clark after he brought you handmade cookies just to cheer you up after a stressful day. His thoughtfulness melted your heart.

Clark loves listening to you talk about your passions.

Whether it’s discussing disability justice, Pre-Raphaelite art, or a new recipe you’re trying, he’s always fully engaged.

You’d sew little patches on his clothes or knit him scarves, which he treasures. He often says, “I think this scarf saved me today."

Clark would take you flying with him to show you the world from above; yeah, you know that he is Superman.

He constantly reassures you during moments of anxiety, offering calming words and holding your hand gently.

You’d teach Clark how to refurbish furniture, and he’d be surprisingly good at it.

Clark loves helping you cook. Even if he’s a bit clumsy at chopping, he’s a great taste tester.

You’d introduce him to your favorite music. Seeing Clark listen to hyperpop while doing chores is an amusing yet heartwarming sight.

He’d write you little notes in his neat handwriting, hiding them in your books for you to find later.

Clark would use his reporter connections to help you organize community-building events, and he’d attend them to show his support.

You’d repair his beloved plaid shirts and tease him about how many he owns. “Clark, you have enough plaid shirts to fill the Fortress of Solitude!”

Ruffling his hair; lots of ruffling of his hair.

Clark loves it when you fall asleep with your head on his chest. He’ll lay as still as a statue, not wanting to wake you, even if it means his arm goes numb.

As long as you are comfortable, he'd do anything.

He has a habit of adjusting your glasses for you when they slip down your nose. He always does it with a soft smile that makes your heart flutter.

(You do it back to him - adjusting his glasses - as revenge).

He keeps a framed photo of the two of you (one you didn’t even realize he took) on his desk at work.

Clark gets weirdly competitive over board games. You once had to remind him to tone it down during a heated round of Scrabble.

He is oddly really into Just Dance.

Clark will always stop to admire flowers on your walks with you. He sometimes surprises you by tucking a bloom behind your ear, telling you it’s your “perfect color.”

If you’re out in the cold, Clark will drape his jacket over your shoulders, insisting he doesn’t feel the cold anyway.

Sometimes, Clark hums softly while holding you close - it’s usually an old Kansas tune his mom used to sing, and it makes you feel so safe and loved.

He loves holding your hand, always intertwining his fingers with yours, whether you’re walking, sitting, or just standing together.

Clark is obsessed with the little accessories you wear. He’ll often play with them absentmindedly when you’re together.

He'd be talking to you one moment and his hand would just subconsciously raise to play with the necklace you have on; he doesn't even realize that he is doing it until you tell him, or if there is a long break in the conversation.

Will be the bestest boyfriend.

Will let you try and experiment with makeup on him.

Clark is fascinated by your arts and crafts projects. He always asks a ton of questions and loves learning about the details, even if he has no clue how you do it.

Clark loves listening to your voice, especially when you’re speaking in French or practicing another language.

If you’re feeling down, Clark will throw a blanket over the two of you and start an impromptu movie marathon of your favorite films.

He’ll randomly whisper “I love you” when you least expect it - whether you’re brushing your teeth, washing dishes, or just staring out the window.

~~~

Marvel;

Yelena Belova -

You met Yelena during a community event - you were volunteering, and she was undercover on a mission.

She stayed longer than necessary because she actually was able to complete her mission within the first hour.

She normally wasn't one for big events, but then she saw you.

Your outfit really caught her attention, especially your makeup. She was pretty impressed.

She introduced herself to you, and you had to compliment her style, and the pantsuit that she was wearing to the event.

The topic went from the event to each other, to plants, and then to books.

Yelena appreciates your talkative nature and finds your endless curiosity refreshing. She jokes that you’re her “walking encyclopedia.”

She introduces you to her dog, Fanny, and the two of you bond over your shared love for animals.

You then introduced her to your dog.

And then you both introduced your dogs to each other.

Yelena’s feelings for you grew when she saw how much effort you put into creating a handmade quilt for her.

The quilt is black, white, and blue; with embroidered flowers and butterflies.

It lays on her bed.

She uses it every night.

She treasures it more than anything.

You realized you had feelings for Yelena when she defended your activism work to someone who was being dismissive. Her fierce loyalty made your heart skip a beat.

Yelena loves surprising you with small but meaningful gifts, like a vintage book she found or a quirky accessory that reminded her of you.

She adores your over-the-top makeup and often asks you to try out bold looks on her. “Make me look dangerous and fabulous.”

You’d go on spontaneous road trips together, blasting music and stopping to take pictures of anything that caught your eye.

Lots of spontaneous adventures.

Road trips to the beach, or on a road through a forest, or even just driving to a store or something.

She’s surprisingly tender and vulnerable when it’s just the two of you.

She’ll hold your hand tightly during movies or pull you into her lap when you’re anxious.

But, if you're not into that, she'd just hold your hand or even just sit beside you, with her head on your shoulder.

She'll do anything to make sure you are comfortable, so she is okay with anything. Lots of physical contact, some, or none, she's down for anything.

You’d teach her how to sew, though she’s hilariously impatient about it. “Why does this tiny needle take so long? I could assassinate someone faster.”

Yelena would love hiking with you, pretending to complain about the uphill climbs but secretly enjoying the challenge, the peace, and your company.

She’d watch your favorite shows with you and mock the characters mercilessly, but she’d secretly get invested.

"I don't know why they don't just bonk Sam on the head again. Then maybe she wouldn't see the ghosts anymore if that's so much of a problem."

"I mean, seriously, why don't they build a place for the British soldiers to live? So they don't have to be forced to live in a shed."

A week or so later...

"Are we going to watch the next episode of that show you like?" She'd enter the room as you scroll on your phone.

"You like Ghosts?" You raised an eyebrow.

"No- I just know that you do... So..."

You only shook your head knowingly before putting on the next episode.

"So... Who's your favorite?" You randomly asked during the show.

"... Alberta."

She’d show up unannounced with pastries from your favorite bakery, claiming, “You looked sad last night. I fix that.”

Yelena would go out of her way to protect you, even if there wasn’t a direct threat. Her protectiveness is quiet but unwavering.

You’d cook Russian dishes for her, and even if they weren’t perfect, she’d love the effort.

Yelena loves teasing you, but it’s always affectionate. If she catches you talking to your dog in a baby voice, she’ll mimic you, but secretly she thinks it’s adorable.

I mean, she totally talks to her dog Fanny in a baby voice too.

She’s surprisingly great at remembering the little things you mention in passing, like your favorite snacks or the exact kind of tea you like, and she’ll casually surprise you with them.

Yelena doesn’t know how to deal with big emotions, so she’ll jokingly nudge your shoulder and say, “I tolerate you” when what she really means is, “You’re my entire world.”

She really does love you.

It's just hard for her to say after, you know, after everything she'd been through.

She constantly tries to steal your fluffy pink purse, claiming it’s "too powerful" for you and that she needs it more.

You end up buying her her own purse that's fluffy.

Yelena is obsessed with your arts and crafts.

She’ll sit beside you and make sarcastic comments but secretly try to join in. Her paper flowers look hilariously bad, and you keep them all because they’re precious.

You often walk into the main living room and find Yelena cuddling both her dog and yours.

She loves borrowing your clothes.

Yelena is all about casual, understated affection, like brushing your hair out of your face or tugging your scarf tighter around your neck when it’s cold.

Yelena will randomly plop down on your refurbished furniture and declare it as her new “throne."

"Wanna watch Dead Poets Society?"

She’ll lie beside you on the couch, absentmindedly playing with your fingers while you talk about your day.

Yelena secretly loves your book collection and will sometimes ask you to read it aloud to her, especially when she’s feeling tired or anxious.

When she's feeling more carefree, you and her would just dance around together either to metal or jazz, depending on how you are both feeling.

Yelena is a surprisingly good singer too, by the way. She'd actually take the time to learn the more acoustic version of 'Your Blood' by AURORA for you.

Museum dates!

Lots of them!

Traveling to different countries just to go to the museums.

Yelena likes to sometimes watch you take care of your plants but absolutely loves it when you explain the plants to her and the little facts about them.

She'd name your plants if you haven't named them already...

You guys are my OTP.

Falling into the modern girl in thedas rabbit hole again lol.

I want to do a human girl(?)/solas thing. She’s not important to the inquisition, and mostly works as a seamstress, and occasionally as a cook.

she’s highly aloof. I want her to be a foil to solas because she’s so distant from the other people. I personaly think that being stuck in a medieval level world would be unbearable, and I’d have trouble relating to the humans who live like that. I want her highly educated. She’s forgotten more than most people ever knew in the modern world. Putting her among people without even a third grade level education is…. So. She’s bored and she can’t really see the people around her as people and she’s trapped in filthy circumstances and have I mentioned that she’s bored???? It’s be hell to go from a world of constant stimulation to can’t do shit after sunset because it’s too dark.

Anyway she doesn’t really deal with anyone important until the journey to sky hold when she and solas fall together naturally as the quiet kids lol. She’s bored and in pain and can’t even find yarn to keep herself busy so she starts asking solas questions because hey even if he sees her little more than an animal, she sees him as a mildly interesting video game character so it’s like. A perfect match lol.

I also keep using she but I’m pretty sure she’s non binary in my head. Also a mage who learns to shapeshift because magics the one thing she doesn’t already know a lot about. She shifts gender and races and into animals. Anything she can. I think I’ll call her Mouse because she’s so quiet and no one actually knows her real name.

A scene: solas and mouse in skyhold are chilling together in scilence. He’s sketching her something and she’s knitting. Sometimes she sings to herself while she knits, because she’s so used to working to music that the silence gets oppressive sometimes. The song is definitely Follow you into the dark by death cab for cutie.

“Love of mine, some day you will die, but I’ll be close behind, I’ll follow you into the dark —“

But then she cuts herself off because solas has dropped his book, staring at her even paler than normal because: Oh.

This human is mortal. One day she’ll die. All that raw intelligence, all that quiet strength, all that deep contemplation would one day be no more than dust.

Solas leaves without saying anything to her. He has to fix this.

#it’s about the god falling for the mortal!!!#do you see my vision #it’s imperative that mouse remains human and mortal #and that knows solas thinks of her as a intelligent dog or something #the inquisitior would be there in the background hanging around mouse because she treats him like a person no the herald #all the human si romance Cullen and im like :/#he’s so. boring though.#vrrm vrrm #dai #dragon age #bad idea tag #dai oc

No bc isolated songs are great and all but you don't and won't and can't get the full effect of a score if you're not watching the movie bc they're throwing that shit around everywhere all the time!! Before the Force Theme/Binary Sunset on Tatooine plays there are different instruments playing variations on the opening title theme while Luke argues with his uncle about leaving the planet!! If you even care

Playlist Analysis: #2 - I'll Be Your Mirror

Return to Main Post

#2. I’ll Be Your Mirror – The Velvet Underground

This is a Crowley song.

Overview:

Someone on tumblr asked Neil Gaiman (prior to Season 2) about Aziraphale and Crowley’s favorite songs. At the time, he said Crowley’s would be this one. I think it fits nicely right here. “What is a Velvet Underground?” “You wouldn’t like it.” Maybe Crowley was embarrassed because he thinks of Aziraphale when he hears this song. It was released in March 1967, the year Aziraphale gave Crowley holy water, which also feels significant.

I like it up near the beginning of the playlist because, like Everyday, it’s not necessarily sad on its own, though the tune is a bit melancholy and the lyrics full of emotion, and because it was a season 1 song. (Neil has since said that he thinks Crowley’s favorite song is now Pale Blue Eyes, #7 on this list (which I’ll get to later.) It encapsulates the way Crowley sees their relationship during that time. They are reflections of one another. They may appear to be opposed in the way one does when looking in a mirror, but they have the same qualities in their hearts: a desire to enjoy creation, to do what humans do, to protect the earth and its inhabitants, and to do what’s right even if they aren’t “supposed to” or if it goes against their presumed nature.

I think this song has a lot to do with their relationship from Eden through Job, though it still applies to any part of their relationship. The Eden conversation is so casual. Both sides are still figuring out what the rules are. I like to think that Aziraphale admitting to Crowley that he gave his sword to the humans – the sword he was given specifically to threaten the humans if they attempted to return – is what inspired Crowley to do what he thought was right, regardless of what he’s told. I also think this way of listening to the song works well leading into the next song and thinking of Companion to Owls.

Lyrics:

I'll be your mirror

Reflect what you are, in case you don't know

Crowley can see Aziraphale for what he is: someone who will do the right thing. “I don’t think you CAN do the wrong thing.” Of course, Crowley knows any angel can do that “wrong thing” since he certainly did something Wrong™ in order to fall. In this context, “the wrong thing” isn’t the opposite of what’s “right,” rather it’s making your own judgment call that may upset those in charge. Maybe this is a proclamation Crowley made to himself as if to say, “I like this guy’s style. I’m going to be like that.”

I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset

The light on your door to show that you're home

This is Crowley’s promise to Aziraphale after Job. Feeling depressed can be like a lonely wasteland. Stale, arid, oppressive, empty. A companion who truly knows you can be that fresh breeze, the blessing of rain in the desert, the beautiful sunset that promises relief from the heat of the day, or even just a porch light simply signifying that you are present.

When you think the night has seen your mind

That inside you're twisted and unkind

Let me stand to show that you are blind

Please put down your hands

'Cause I see you

When Aziraphale worries about doing the “wrong” thing or the Bad™ thing or something for which he’ll get into trouble, Crowley is always there to convince him that things aren’t binary. Is it as simple as temptation rationalizing in order to serve Crowley’s desires? Maybe sometimes, but that would be the exception. More likely, as at the end of the Companion to Owls sequence, there is a very specific and personal empathy Crowley has for the desire to hide one’s true nature when compared with the expectations our societies put on us. Without a reflection, we can only see parts of ourselves. To be told, “I see you for what you are, and it’s something I want to look at.” Isn’t that what all of us really want?

I find it hard to believe you don't know

The beauty you are

But if you don't, let me be your eyes

A hand to your darkness so you won't be afraid

Aziraphale has anxiety. I doubt anybody would debate that statement. Constantly conflicted about his nature and his “nature.” What an Angel™ is (by design and definition) and what he is (through his experiences and choices). Other angels seem to be callously on their side of Good™, without compassion or mercy. When the angels bully him in season 1, he clearly doesn’t think that’s how they SHOULD be acting, but he complains about their conduct, not their motivations. Aziraphale seems to generally* buy into the smiling corporate veneer Heaven displays. When he doesn’t live up to that standard, he needs someone to tell him he’s beautiful inside. The gentle hand of a kind friend to guide him through his own uncertainty.

*Aziraphale thinks for himself. He is naïve, wanting to see the best in everything and everyone, but he’s not stupid. There was a distinct turn in his feelings for Heaven during season 1, but he habitually reverts back to his old binary thinking while waiting for the bus in season 1 “I don’t think my side would like that”, and in season 2.
