#but i just couldn't resist with this one

I just have to respond to this because YES. I wrote a fanfic of this for Star Trek: The Next Generation that was basically, original character who is a queen in her own time ends up on the Enterprise and has an enemies to lovers arc with Riker. She was brought there by Q almost by accident and her body is in 'can't age' stasis but the only way she can be sent back to have the life history says she will MUST be that Q finds out she's there and eventually sends her back.
But until then, she and Will fall in love, and they KNOW it can't be forever. He knows who she'll marry. What their kids' names will be. How all of them will die. But right now, in this moment, they can have this, and that's all that matters.
In the story, he'd seen holofilms of her life, she'd basically videojournaled her whole life, and he'd watched them BEFORE she ended up on the ship. And all throughout those holofilms are moments of things he loves, like jazz, and the maroon color of the command uniforms. But when she shows up, she doesn't like jazz.
He realizes that those things are the evidence of his influence on her, once she goes back. She incorporated them as an eternal 'I will always love you,' and he'd fallen for them before they ever met.
It's basically a dead fandom and this is self-indulgent to have spent all that time on it but it made me so happy and I honestly don't think I could have written a better representation of this phenomenon you're talking about!
It's called We, We Who Were if anyone wants to read it.
Ps. the musical Hadestown was such a mood while I was writing this. Jazz? That starts with a TROMBONE? Lyrics like 'I knew you before we met, and I don't even know you yet' ??? Honestly, cinematic life go brrrrrrr
The whole “we both know we’re on borrowed time but we fall for each other anyways” trope is one the most romantic things ever and here’s why:
That trope is basically saying “I know this will break my heart and I know I will never fully recover from this, what’s more I know if I walk away now this will only be an occasional twinge in my heart and nothing more. But for YOU I’m willing to suffer that passion and the heartache it brings, for our short time together I’m willing to spend the rest of my eternity slowly growing my agonizing way around it. Because you surpass my self-preservation and everything I could ever want and I will forgo anything if it means I can have THIS LOVE WITH YOU in my life.”
And it all boils down to: “I will willingly endure the darkness that comes after if it means I can have the most dazzling firework for one fleeting second in my entire life. And that firework, is being in love with you.”
This trope burns me from the core of my heart and I relish in that flame every. single. time.

"I think Rhaenyra is primarily motivated by a deep desire to be known and seen." (x)
"She definitely yearns for the old physical intimacy that they shared. It’s different from what she shares with her current husband and her children. A different form of contact." (x)
"I feel like Rhaenyra is a character who really, really struggles as an autonomous agent. She actually requires at least one person to make an ultimate act of devotion in order for her to find confidence and independence." (x)
"Honestly, I think initially there was just such a desire to connect. I think what you see initially is intimacy, and an intimacy that Rhaenyra shares so rarely." (x)
_
Bonus:
#hotdedit#houseofthedragonedit#rhaenicentedit#rhaesariaedit#rhaenicent#rhaesaria#house of the dragon#rhaenyra targaryen#mysaria of lys#alicent hightower#please don't attack me for this - the implication here is not that her connection with mysaria is merely an extension of alicent#but there are real parallels there that are quite beautiful#combing through emma's commentary on rhaenyra and relationships...#there's actually great parallels to made not just with these two but with daemon as well#but i truly cannot be bothered to take that one for the team#there were more parallels i wanted to make - eg alicent smiling after rhaenyra was talking about wanting to be a knight#edit: i added it i couldn't resist#eg rhaenyra straightening up after she caught alicent looking at her at the funeral on driftmark#but they were more miniscule and not quite the point :p#my gifsets

mix: firstprince (taylor's version)
#rwrbedit#alex x henry#alex claremont diaz#henry fox#my reward for not putting any tswift songs on my other mix is that i decided to do one that is just. nothing but tswift songs.#so. firstprince mix (taylor's version)#i was gonna do 'say don't go' for kensington but.#i actually liked 'haunted' a lot more for it#and nearly did 'haunted' for the scene of alex and nora but they swapped#(dress was entirely self-indulgent btw but. i couldn't resist.)#i have zero apologies for the choice of 'paper rings' btw#not pictured: me tapping my foot and waiting impatiently for rep tv#(listen my life will not be complete until i hear 'don't blame me (taylor's version)')#i'm choosing to blame this on my best friend#bc i went 'since i didn't put any on the other mix tell me i can't make one that's just tswift songs'#and she went 'do it.'#and i said 'okay at least tell me i can't just name it 'firstprince (taylor's version)'' and she said 'okay but you should'#so here we are.#also i think my favorite coloring in this is the one i used for 'wildest dreams' and 'you are in love' and 'say don't go'#yes i did attempt to color them in ways reminiscent of the albums and what about it

"Louis and Armand were still in love in Dubai!!" "Louis and Armand never loved each other!!" - no. it's worse. they were on the precipice of something good, but Armand couldn't recognize that, so he ruined everything they had, right when Louis had actually come to love him. the love was there for a fleeting moment and it was ruined irreversibly, never to return, even after decades they'd spent together out of desperation and spite. it's worse and that's the point
#iwtv#interview with the vampire#amc iwtv#louis de pointe du lac#the vampire armand#like. i don't understand how anyone would buy into one story or the other#when it's so very clear what the truth actually is#armand could've had everything he'd ever wanted#and he destroyed it all himself because he is a coward. everything he does is out of cowardice or desperation or impulse#he doesn't really scheme. he just reacts. and half the time it's with lies and manipulations#because he's Scared. he's still so deeply hurt. he's so lonely. and he could not bring himself to trust Louis#even though he couldn't resist developing that relationship either#your honour he is traumatized and stupid#i love him#i think there's also a primary audience reason why some people are so averse to the truth of their relationship#it's bc a lot of people don't like/can't handle the idea of love being both real and temporary#as well as something that can be destroyed so completely

#playing by heart#gillian anderson#gandersonedit#filmgifs#moviegifs#userfilm#filmedit#filmandtv#motionpicturesource#filmtvtoday#tvfilmspot#ladiesofcinema#mine#she is so babygirl in this movie i couldn't resist giffing her#even though i'm sure no one has seen this lol#and yes her onscreen counterpart is jon stewart and yes it's weird and no they don't have any chemistry#still it was very cute and i recommend watching at least for gillian#she's a theater director who accidentally married a gay man and now she doesn't trust men#though this movie would've been 5 million times better if they just made her a lesbian
