#but they’re both lesbians so😔

[swirlingyouintomypoems]

I am seventeen years old why do I know two people who are engaged

[courtneydeservesbetter]

Fandom is wild cuz when two men in a ship have ideological differences and fight and try to kill each other at least once, everyone is just like ‘yep! They love each other and that’s the tragedy! I adore this ship because despite the messy nature of it, they are each other’s mirrors in the narrative and they need each other. Despite their differences they are each other’s true soulmate.’ When it’s a f/f ship with the same exact dynamic or similar arc we got people calling it abusive and evil and mid. Yall would not love any of these popular ships if they were lesbians

[dollopole]

I never do this, because it feels like asking money to strangers, (lmao, that’s just me, I’m not judging others who do this) but, DO YOU HAVE MERTHUR FIC RECS?! GOOD FIC RECS?! Every fic is good, I’m not judging, I’m just very picky when it comes to grammar and good dialogues (okay, maybe this is why I don’t do it, I seem a prick😭) BUT, if you have some, with some slow burn, sexual tension, ✨freaky time✨or certain themes, even heavy ones, but that are dealt with in a good way, and some good old hurt/comfort👀… I mean… Who am I to say no?

Is this too specific? Lmao😭.

I just want to know if you have fics recs I stil haven’t read where there is an happy ending, and that tick all my boxes, or a few💀Like, it doesn’t necessarily needs to be rated E or M, but I always go for E and M (don’t be shy and drop your recs even if the fics are rated Gen or other :)!!!) and for hurt/comfort followed by smut🤔Or the opposite.

And if they’re long? Ugh, even better (I read short fics too ;))

Maybe this is too specific.

*giving myself a pat of encouragement and breathing in*

Okay, the things I usually avoid in fics or don’t go for are rape/non con (I’ve read a few, but they weren’t descriptive, and it was dealt with in a very good and serious way, so if that’s the case, drop the recs😤) mpreg, (don’t ask💀) good Uther (I hate fics where Uther is good, even if I read TONS of them and liked them too😭But if the fic is very very very good, maybe I could close one eye or both😔) Merlin written as a fucking idiot or written as invincible and incapable of hurting, and same goes for Arthur (again, I read both of these. I’m not judging, I’m just listing my grocery shopping🤨BDJFIKSXKDJ so drop the recs… Again… This is sounding more desperate the more I go on), awful grammar😭 (I’M SO SORRY, I WRITE GRAMMAR LIKE SHIT TOO SOMETIMES, but I dislike it when I have to read it from others😔I kindly ask for forgiveness😔we’re not all good regarding grammar (me included, so it’s chill🫶) or English native speakers and I’m not judging your for that, AT ALL, TRUST ME! I’ve read fics with a lot of grammar errors and I didn’t even notice at first because I couldn’t care less and because the fics were fire, so again, drop the recs👀) and fics written by others’ pov’s or that aren’t Merthur centred :). But I love lesbian Mergwen as the side couple😌 (I just listed the entirety of the fics in the Merlin fandom LMAOOOO. I won’t read shit, I already know💀) I TRUST YOU, DEAR AND BRAVE FOLLOWERS! AND NOT FOLLOWERS! WHATEVER! KIND PEOPLE! I LOVE YOU!

Oh, fics that you’ve written are valid too😌I don’t consider it spam (it shouldn’t be considered spam, actually💀) so you can recommend those to me too😌. BUT, a warning: if I don’t like them, I won’t, ehm, read them (am I a piece of shit?) Anyway, this does not mean someone else will not like them or that you’re a shitty writer, it means that I’M shitty (this is getting longer than what I expected.)

Every person is different, I believe, I like to support each and everyone’s work, but I have my taste, and I hope you’ll understand that.

Since the parchment is over now, I can end this post by saying:

I’m begging you, if you have fics recs, bring them my way, I.need.them. *feral noises*

P.S.

I’m picky (like that wasn’t clear already💀) so if they’re on another site that it’s not Ao3, I will not read the fics (they can be good, but my eyes don’t get easily used to other types of sites, and I hate dislike Wattpad.)

P.P.S.

This is probably the pickiest ask for fic recs someone ever made😭 (I hope not SNCJSKLXKK)

[moonflowerdamie]

rating yellowjackets ships (lowest to highest!) because i am bored and also because i want people to know just how insane i am for some of the pairings in this show‼️ LETSGOOOOO

•travnat—3/10•

they’re…ok i guess? like. i don’t actively hate them, but i really don’t ship them. and yeah i get that they clung to each other and bonded over dad trauma and stuff, but a) i don’t like travis (PLS DONT ATTACK ME HE’S JUST NOT FOR ME AND I COULDNT GET OVER THE MISOGYNY) and b) i fully believe natalie scatorccio is AT LEAST bisexual and deserves a lady lover!!! so yeah. not for me.

•mistynat—4/10•

ok. OK. hear me out PLEASE bc i know some people are gonna be mad i’ve put them this low. i just don’t really see it? like i fully believe that it’s possible misty had a crush on nat in the teen timeline and i’m pretty convinced adult misty was definitely infatuated/obsessed with adult nat BUT i don’t think nat ever reciprocated? and i can’t see her ever feeling that way about misty IM SORRY. i don’t hate the ship by any means, it’s just not my favourite!!!

•jackielot—5/10•

they’re both pretty femme lesbians and i think maybe they should smooch (and then smooch ME MY GAWD PLS ONE CHANCE😫🙏🏻). that’s all i have to say about that.

•shaunanat—5/10•

i just know the rivalry in s3 is gonna HIT and maybe they should kiss and make up about it (AND THEN KISS ME TOO MY FUCKING LORD I NEED THEM BOTH SO BAD🫦). but fr i mean like a cute idea in another world yk? they would SO bully the shit out of each other and then fuck nasty about it🤝.

•crystal x misty (crusty😭)—6/10•

they were cute!!! they matched each other’s freak🥹 until misty freaked a little too hard 😔 no but actually they could’ve been cute musical theatre gfs and i would’ve been here for it!!!

•taishauna—6/10•

i LOVE their friendship in both timelines and i do prefer them platonically BUT i see the potential. i think they soften each other, and allow the other to process and feel their emotions, and also help to rationalise them. LOVE the friendship and if i didn’t prefer their other ships i could defo see myself getting into them!

•lottielee—7/10•

the disciple and the prophet??? uhhh YEAH. i mean laura lee literally haunts lottie for 25 YEARS. that bitch NEVER got over what they had. are they my favourite ship? no. do i wish they’d kissed in that lake? YES YES YES YES YES. the yearning, the religious symbolism/guilt, the TENDERNESS. i am IN.

•lottieshauna—8/10•

BRRSKLLAKSKS just yes. YES. THE PROPHET AND HER BUTCHER😫. their relationship is so complicated and beautiful but i think they could be very special, specifically in the teen timeline. they’re so fiercely protective of each other but would never admit it. they hate each other. they admire each other. they resent each other. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. i wholeheartedly believe lottie was shauna’s bi awakening when they were like 13 and shauna never really stopped thinking lottie was gorgeous. just. THEM.

•jackienat—8/10•

i am a SUCKER for the popular x loser trope and even more so when they’re LESBIANS😁 like lottie was shauna’s awakening, nat was jackie’s. ONE MILLION PERCENT they were childhood besties and one day they kissed ‘to practice’ when they were like 11 and jackie was like ‘OH😨’ and knew then and THERE she was a lesbian. i love them your honour. like shaunanat, i think they’d bully each other, but i also think they’d be so soft with each other. OH and nat would SO tease jackie for being popular and rich and preppy and call her ‘princess’ in jest but would for real treat her like a princess and would beat up anyone who said a bad word about her. yes PLEASEEEEE.

•taivan—10/10•

THEEE IT COUPLE! they are just *mwah* chef’s kiss. especially in the teen timeline! they just balance each other so perfectly, like they were LITCHRALLY made for each other🥹. van is goofy and silly and a dreamer, tai is serious, intense; a realist. they just so clearly love each other so so much and i ADORE THEM. ‘happy wife happy life’ YYYYEEEAHHHHH. i’m gonna be so devastated when they eventually break up in the teen timeline and DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED on if/when van dies in the adult timeline☹️. not even thinking about it actually. just them and their soft tender gay love🤗.

•lottienat—1000000/10•

i genuinely will start tweaking if i think about these two for too long. they just make me so ASKSHSLSLSJSJ😫. i don’t even think i can articulate how much i love them. the rich girl and the burnout. the hunter and the prophet. THEY ARE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. the bath scene????? DIED DEAD ON THE FLOOR. ‘is that what we are’ GONE REQUIRING CPR. lottie kissing nat’s hands for so long after giving up her leadership, the last thing she had left? SIX FEET FUCKING UNDER😨. nah but fr, i NEEEED them to kiss. they would be so good for each other. the potential is…UNFUCKINGLIMITED (i am choosing to ignore the fact that nat’s dead thank you xoxo). just…the tenderness. the pining. they’re narrative foils. they’re enemies. they’re friends. they’re something more. YELLOWJACKETS…DROP A LOTTIENAT KISS IN S3 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS🙏🏻.

and finally…my fucking roman empire…

•jackieshauna—9999999999999/10•

there is a hole in my heart in the shape of these two. they’re…EVERYTHING. god they just loved each other so much but life and the wilderness and jeff and their own self-destruction got in the way. jackie loved shauna so much it killed her. shauna loved jackie so much she ATE her. they were completely undefinable—best friends, rivals, soulmates. entirely devoted. i just ache when i think about what they could have had. the tragedy of them is life-altering. shauna will miss jackie for longer than she knew her and that fact makes me want TO OFF MYSELF. they are intertwined forever, not knowing where one ends and the other begins. i wholeheartedly believe they were in love with each other but didn’t know how to say it. because of jeff, because it was 1996, because love couldn’t even possibly cover what it was they felt for each other. in my head, they’re together. in my head, they ran away together and lived a long and happy life. and it kills me to know that’s not what happened. they actually make me fucking insane and i’ll never get over them.

now have some memes bc i’m silly like that🤭

Coming out to Aziraphale x Crowley as a lesbian (crack headcanons)

☆ — coming out to aziraphale and crowley as a lesbian (kinda crack edition)

✧ masterlist — navigation

✧ carmillas notes — OH MY GOD GOOD OMENS REQUEST I WANTED A GOOD OMENS REQUEST SO BADLY OHMYGOD RAHHHHH. also i did them separately AND together. god i’m so fucking tired

✧ warnings — idk curse words

˚✩ ⋆｡˚ ✩ aziraphale

“okay!”

okay but seriously he doesn’t really care

he kinda just stands there awkwardly then starts playing classical music or some shit idk

do NOT come to him for advice because his ass is in a 6000 year situationship. he cannot help you

will probably send you over to nina and/or maggie (their advice is just as bad)

if you start ranting when ur done he’ll probably yap about like sappho or something and then give even worse advice than he ever has before

hes trying genuinely but with everything between him and crowley he won’t be the greatest to come to

˚✩ ⋆｡˚ ✩ crowley

“what the fuck does this have to do with me”

genuinely he doesn’t know why you came to him. he doesn’t care. he couldn’t care less

will fully just sit there if you start ranting to him. he’s not a lesbian so he can’t really help you

if you ask him what to do his honest reaction is “i don’t fucking know??”

eventually he just like ends up giving you genuinely the greatest and most useful advice one could possibly give and then sits there and gives you the thousand yard stare

(he’s that one guy who’s randomly really whimsical and smart and then goes back to being a dumbass)

˚✩ ⋆｡˚ ✩ together

idk man they probably look each other and both are just like “I KNEW IT”

they WILL begin miracling your life to find you a gf. no it does not work and probably makes finding one worse

afterwards they’re just like “my bad gang 😔”

once again aziraphales like “oh. alright” and crowley doesn’t know why this involves him

ngl i feel like they’d (or at least crowley) point out some random girl on the street and ask if you think she’s pretty and if you say yes and then don’t talk to her crowley yells at her from across the street and aziraphale uses a miracle

10/10 love these guys

One Piece Shipping War - Round 3 Side D

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Doflamingo x Crocodile:

they had one interaction in the entire manga/show but it gave such Divorced vibes. they just kept staring and glaring at each other like,,, ok. they definitely have a History. doflamingo (depending on the translation) kept saying allusive things like “Let’s hook up!” and “You’re teaming up with Whitebeard? Don’t make me jealous!” like he has it down baddd for crocodile. also don’t get me started on when Oda drew a “What if they teamed up?” scenario where doflamingo has his arm around him, while crocodile wears both a flamingo and a crocodile wearing crowns on his jacket.

I just like awful dilfs in love 😔

two fuckin freaks lmfao

I like the potential for very toxic dynamics also the comedy of their clashing personalities

Honestly, I just think they’re really funny. Weirdass middle aged men, twice divorced, in spite of never being married in the first place. The drama and darkness of it all is great too; but mostly they’re funny.

Most divorced

I really feel like doflamingo flirting at marinford.

Propaganda for Nami x Vivi:

Yes, Nami has a new girlfriend on every island, but her heart belongs to Vivi. Vivi in turn refuses to marry, because her heart belongs with a pirate ❤

THEY’RE LESBIANS! IN LOVE! another point: my friends who are watching OP for the first time came to me and asked “so Nami and Vivi… they’re gay right?” So it’s pretty apparent to even newcomers

I just think they’re neat! And in love. Nami gave up money for Vivi that’s True Love

Anyone who saw them can just tell they’re gay. Like Nami gave up money for her

They're one of the rare lesbian ships in op, they care for each other so much !!

Lesbians

Lesbians

They were so gay that Luffy offered to share food to cheer Nami up when they were separated.

i dare you to read Baroque Works through Alabasta without shipping them. the way Vivi and Nami are so affectionate with each other, and Vivi putting saving her nation on hold to get Nami healthy again ???

Lesbians

Let’s go lesbians!!!!! Ok but actually, I think Nami saw a lot of herself in Vivi (ha) especially when Igaram “died” and then throughout their journey together Nami really encouraged her to open up to the crew. Nami showed Vivi it was ok to ask for help just like Luffy showed her.

Vivi was Nami's gay awakening and you cant change my mind. Nami was in love with Vivi and Vivi def had some kind of feeling for Nami. They were so close and they were more then just 'gal pals'

Lesbian Pirate Supremacy! they clearly care a lot about each other and considering when nami meets vivi she is probably one of the first close female friends she gets to have.

[atopvisenyashill]

Bro the ppl you stan are so at odds with the other, your level of starkcels are always alicent-sansa stans, which is a shame bc if they open their eyes they'll see the sansa-rhaenyra-catelyn parallels 😔🥀

Messing with my stats fr 😒 (no hate btw, I'm also a sansa-rhaenyra stan)

it GENUINELY causes me pain, and like i get it, the fandom beefs go crazyyyy and i blame both d&d and the shitty way we teach literature analysis in high school for it getting as bad as it has. one of my xwitter moots got into asoiaf thru hotd bc she saw “lesbian undertones & dragons” and got curious & she said the other day never has she been in a fandom as genuinely evil, she was NOT prepared & i would say that’s just xwitter but we’ve ALL seen crazy behavior on every platform & also i can fully acknowledge that i, like many others, have gotten pettier & more quickly annoyed over the years ajsjdj. but my GOD i really do choose the toughest battles for no goddamn reason 😭🤧.

it’s pretty much like a two way split in fandom the way i see it, and i’m speaking in just the most broad, wankified strokes imaginable but -

targnation aka tb/dany(/arya) people who will genuinely honest to god argue that nettles is valyrian & daemon’s daughter bc only valyrians can ride dragons & really disingenuously misunderstand every point you make about how few good options a lot of the people on tg had.

the starkcels, infamous for being staunch jonsa shippers and/or sansa qitn truthers/stans, & they are all hardcore tg-but-usually-specifically-alicent stans. these people never stop BITCHING and NITPICKING, with the worst of it very much directed at being disingenuous about rhaenyra & baela’s motivations, in a very *dakota johnson voice* ellen you know that’s not true, sort of way.

(there’s other radioactive flavors, we don’t need to get into the aegon ii/king jon-or-stannis types on reddit, for instance).

and the problem here is that i call that second group my home bc it is a break off from the Main Branch which is very hostile to jonsa & associated theories, and therefore a lot of the most intensely starkcel people (such as me 😁) congregate there

(which, bizarrely to me, the Main Branch consists of largely tg/dany stans IF they watch the show seriously, if they don’t watch the show well that’s just main branch & it takes a second longer rant to explain that one but all of these groups are very hostile to starkcels & tbf starkcels are incredibly hostile to them aksjd). i Do believe i get the worst of both worlds as i try to exist in multiple subfandoms, altho i’m sure people at other intersections in fandom will disagree (they’re wrong i have it worse).

and this is a fandom just WILDLY HOSTILE to comparisons. u even think the words “sansa & ned are a little similar” and u get tomatoes thrown at you and that’s just her FATHER. i saw a minor meltdown on two different websites bc someone called margaery “the little queen” when “well that’s DAENAERA’S TITLE” brother no character owns a phrase or archetypes, and george’s style is basically just writing the same 12 archetypes that he really enjoys and doing them slightly to the left each time and as someone who loves doing that (there’s so many things to say!!! so many ways it can go if you just tweak one thing!!!!!) this series is crack to me, but if u dare compare two characters that have a different group of stans, even if those characters dead ass have the exact same life on paper, they try to execute you in the town square. so we just ignore the sansa-rhaenyra and rhaenyra-catelyn parallelism even tho it’s very obvious to me, bc it is apparently an insult to george himself to compare two characters he wrote 🤧

anyways sansa-rhaenyra stans of the world unite, there are dozens of us. dozens i tell you!!!!

WIP Bingo Tag!

Phew big post today bc I kept procrastinating 😔

OKAY so the rules are to check each box that has a theme/trope that’s in your WIP! Then you make a bingo board with your own WIP’s themes!

———

I’ll do all three of mine, but you can pick one, no pressure!

here are @rhikasa and @fifis-corner ‘s boards, which I’m filling out for Interwoven:

idk if what I have planned counts as cosmic horror, and if enemies-to-friends-to-enemies-to-friends again-to-lovers counts…?

and as for suicide, it used to be a part of the story but I changed it, so I may re add it I’m not sure.

anyways.

@mundanemoongirl and @sableglass ‘s boards, which in filling out for A Golem’s Guide to Regaining Humanity:

hrm. Not a single bingo :( ah well I got close with both tho hehe.

and @cc-writes-stuff and @illarian-rambling ‘a boards, which I’m filling out for The Guiding Star!

half of this one was just me going: “hrm. yeah. hrm. yeahhhh.” rinse and repeat.

*Rivalry (not gay): I think you meant it in the rivals to lovers way? but who I though of were two characters that had a rivalry, both of them are gay, and they don’t fall in love. so? yeah.

*Secret Backstory: so secret I don’t even know them yet 💔😔

*Space Exploration! : basically space? kinda. some characters need oxygen masks to breathe. that spacey enough?

*Undead Protag(s): well the skelly crew is undead.

*Blue-Orange Morality: I looked this one up, and I’m not too sure atp.

Rival science lesbians: they’re lesbians. they’re rivals. and I suppose magic is a sort of science?

———

phew. Like I said, long post. BUT IT IS LONGER STILL; I need to make boards for you guys to do!

so I’ll make three, bc three wips, and you guys can pick. PLZ NOTE you don’t have to do all of them, nor do you have to make more than one board, I’m only doing it bc I Procrastinated 💔 and I feel bad so. Yeah. Take your pick!

✨tag game list!

@sableglass @dioles-writes @ash-thedrawer @allaboutmagic @paeliae-occasionally

The board for Interwoven:

The board for AGGTRH:

and the one for TGS:

And as always: open tag!

[starsaparilla]

you said you wanted asks so i must ask

1) do you have a courier oc? like, an actual character.

2) thoughts about christine and veronica (and Christine staying in Sierra Madre)?

3) what's one character you wish had been a companion but wasn't? and why and how would their quests go idk im shy despite asking on anon 😔💔

1) yes!! i have a couple.. i make new ones depending on the run i’m doing or the faction im siding with etc but for my current playthrough (neutral karma independent vegas) i have cherry!! she’s super cool… i like her lots. nepo baby that wants to run vegas herself as a way to get back at her family for disowning her (long story) + learns about love and friendship and kindness and also backstabbing along the way! i can’t draw so i mostly make pinterest boards for characters but yeah… i love my ocs. trying to flesh out the rest of her family at the minute too bc they were (to me) pretty prominent figures in the wasteland until around 50 or so years before the events of new vegas!!

2) christine and veronica are so dear to me!!! canon lesbians in a video game… i do wish they didn’t fall into the trappings of gays with unhappy endings but yk. 2010 so i suppose it was par for the course. as for christine staying in the sierra madre i have mixed feelings- ultimately i like it narratively, i think christine becoming a guardian is very fitting. the sierra madre houses vera keyes, a woman who had her life derailed and destroyed by the greed, cruelty, rivalry and jealousy of two men. in a similar vein, christine royce had her own life- and her love- uprooted and snuffe out by a cruel and greedy man too. it makes poetic sense to me that christine would stay to guard the sierra madre. christine/vera parallels are so srs to me and i would definitely go into way more detail at another point but im trying to keep this concise because you didn’t ask to be blasted with my dead money brainrot. anyway also i find it oddly beautiful that a place with such a dark past can perhaps become a safe haven like it should always have been now that christine is there. my one issue is that there’s no option to inform veronica of where christine is or anything but i know this was due to technical limitations and nothing else so i don’t harp on the devs too much for this.

3) benny maybe… i think doing an independent run with benny as the companion makes soooo much sense and i do think an ending where you both take vegas is super fun. but i have the benny companion mod so i don’t think he counts as an answer here for me personally. in terms of what would be best for gameplay id say a legion companion would be interesting as while i dont play legion nor do i like them, i think its a shame they’re underdeveloped. victor as a companion could be rlly fun! good for a house run and id love a securitron companion anyway :) id also love to port ulysses to the main game as a companion 💔💔💔 and then obvious popular answer sunny smiles my angel <3

i forgot to add quests!!! god actually i’m gonna have to think abt this one but i think for benny an interesting quest would be anything to do with the boot riders… will nvr forgive the lack of backstory we get for him in the game. legion companion could potentially involve visiting old settlements and learning about their history? it would be interesting for a legion companion to be someone disheartened with the legion’s methods, kind of like veronica (BUT NOT LIKE VERONICA) , and you can ultimately talk them into leaving (good karma) or convince them to stay with you and the legion (bad karma). i’m not sure on specifics for victor but given that he’s a cowboy likely inspired by old world western movies it could be so fun to have a quest that follows the plot of some famous western movie… big dramatic shootout at high noon. fun times. ulysses i’m split on bc i think it’s entirely contingent on how you interact with him in lonesome road and which faction you’re aligned with as there’s a lotttt of ways he can feel about you due to all of these factors that might make creating one Definitive companion quest hard. as for sunny idk. something that lets us go back to goodsprings ^_^ very last minute but i also think a great khan companion would be nice mostly bc i like the khans and the narrative is so awful to them

[clownthemedlizardlambs]

my second req is for Laura Lee cause we suffer with the lack of her bots

I imagine a non-crash au in which Laura Lee and User are two Catholic/Christian girls (I don't know Laura Lee's religion) and study together in a school that faithfully follows that religion. They're best friends but they're in love with each other but they don't know it, apart from having to deal with parental pressure, religion and conflicting feelings, they also have to deal with the inhabitants of Wiskayok who call them slurs and insinuate that they're lesbians (which is funny because they realized it before they did). It reminds me a bit of the vibe of Clairo's song Sofia, when she says they shouldn't feel like a crime, and I imagine a similar setting to The Virgins Suicides and Lady Bird. I hope you get it the vibe and the plot, I’m sorry if it seems confuse and with you want more details just say 😔

a🪻

Laura Lee Bot Request (Link at bottom)

It’s a hot afternoon in Wiskayok, and you’re sitting with Laura Lee under the old oak tree behind your school, textbooks sprawled across your laps. The bell for afternoon prayer rang ten minutes ago, but neither of you moved. You told yourselves you were studying, but neither of you had flipped a page in ages.

Laura Lee’s blonde hair catches the sunlight like a halo, and you try not to stare as she absentmindedly fiddles with her silver cross necklace, her lips moving as if she’s silently rehearsing a prayer. Your heart feels heavy, not with sin, but with something more complicated—something you’re too afraid to name.

“You’re quiet today,” she says, looking over at you, her blue eyes soft with concern.

“Just thinking,” you mumble, tracing circles on the corner of your notebook.

“About?”

You. But you don’t say that. Instead, you shrug. “My mom. She wants me to join her Bible study group. Says it’ll ‘help me stay on the right path.’” You scoff a little, masking your frustration with humor.

Laura Lee doesn’t laugh. “She just wants what’s best for you,” she says quietly, though her voice lacks conviction. You know her well enough to catch the flicker of doubt.

“What about you?” you ask, deflecting. “How’s your mom?”

Her hand stills on her necklace, and she looks away. “She’s fine. Just… keeps asking when I’m going to find a nice boy from church.” She tries to laugh, but it sounds hollow.

The words hang between you, heavy with unspoken truths. You both know what’s unsaid, but you’re too scared to acknowledge it. Instead, you sit in that uneasy silence, hoping the tension will dissolve on its own.

Then the laughter starts. A group of boys from town loiter nearby, snickering and pointing in your direction. You can hear the muttered slurs, the cruel insinuations.

“Don’t let them get to you,” Laura Lee says, her voice firm now, her hand resting briefly over yours.

“Doesn’t bother me,” you lie, even as your cheeks burn with shame.

She doesn’t respond, but her hand lingers longer than it should, her touch gentle but grounding. For a moment, it feels like the whole world fades away—the heat, the noise, the expectations—and all that’s left is her.

“Maybe we should head back,” she says, breaking the spell.

You nod, gathering your things as your mind churns with conflicting emotions. You shouldn’t feel this way, not about her, not when it feels like every part of your life is pushing you toward a path you’re not sure you want to walk.

But as you follow her back to the school, the sunlight catching her smile, you can’t help but think: if this is wrong, why does it feel so much like grace?

The walk back to the school is quiet, but the silence between you and Laura Lee feels anything but empty. Her shoulder brushes yours every so often, and each time, your heart stumbles like you’ve forgotten how to breathe. You keep your gaze fixed on the ground, counting the cracks in the sidewalk, trying to focus on anything but her.

But you can feel her looking at you.

“Hey,” she says softly, breaking the silence. “You know they’re just trying to get under your skin, right? Those guys? Don’t let them win.”

You nod, swallowing hard. “I know. It’s just... stupid, you know? They don’t even know us.”

Her voice drops, barely above a whisper. “Maybe they know more than we do.”

You stop walking, your chest tightening. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

She hesitates, her hand gripping her cross necklace like it might steady her. “Nothing. Forget I said anything.”

“No.” You turn to face her fully, your heart racing. “What did you mean by that?”

Her blue eyes meet yours, wide and uncertain. For once, Laura Lee doesn’t have an answer, and that terrifies you. She’s always been the steady one—the one who prays when you can’t, who believes when you don’t. If she’s unsure, what does that mean for the two of you?

“I just…” She exhales shakily, her gaze dropping to the ground. ��Sometimes I think about… us. About why we’re so close. Why I feel…” Her words trail off, and you know exactly what she’s afraid to say because you’ve been avoiding the same truth.

Your stomach churns with a mix of fear and relief. Fear, because if you admit it, everything changes. Relief, because maybe you’re not crazy for feeling this way.

curly.... ive got u... multiple different questions to ask... none of which are about lore persay...(kinda- a few of em arent) SOOOO-

realistically... How long is willows hair when he doesnt have it in a braid???🤔 Cuz i be drawing her shit like Rapunzel so im lowkey curious-

2. Does nathan genuinely want willow dead and gone or is he just spouting nonsense and somewhat doesnt actually want him to power herself off🤨⁉️⁉️⁉️

Adding onto 2 ; i also noticed that in nathans link with willow he has like only 1 star marked and since with willow and Cassidy or with Sharkie and Cassidy, those two duos got like zero stars marked in their links, does that mean nate still like.... Somewhat still cares about Will??? In a sense?? Or is that like smth else?🤔

3. ik like selfshipping is allowed and whatnot but what about like.. Shipping within the canon characters???🤨 like for example... Willow x Ashton or like.. Nathan x Theo??(THESE ARE RANDOM I DONT SHIP ANY OF THESE I SWEAR-) like is shipping within the characters okay or is it like only selfshipping thats allowed on the table😭😭😭

4. (this is where my questions get more random.. Me thinks...🥲) between willow and sharkie ; who is more likely to be the more sacrificing of the two?? And plus, in a literal sense, who would be the most likely to sacrifice themselves for the others survival and whatnot???🤔🤔🤔

adding onto that... Who usually comforts the other the most?? Cuz ik pre-reboot, Willow was often shown comforting Sharkie a lot ykwim???😔

5. and finnalllyyyyy- whats ya opinion on like,,, very unlikely duos?? As in like- Willow and Cassidy, Sharkie and Cassidy, Theo and Ashton, or like Vivian and Sharkie???🤔 random question ik but im gen curious bro😭😭😭

genuinely jumped with joy seeing such a long ask

1. when not braided, it reaches to just above her hips! he also has to brush and rebraid it basically every week because his hair is naturally very fluffy and wild (blame liam’s genes) and it does Not stay contained easily.

2. you kinda answered your own question with the addendum! nate is Extremely pissed off that willow didn’t come with him, but he’s only mad about this years later because he still cares about her and because she’s important to him. he is bitter and childish about grudges but his weird obsession with her doesn’t come from nowhere. think jinx and vi but like, reversed ages (<- said by a girl who watched 2 episodes of arcane when season one came out and then never touched it again)

3. yes and yes!! selfshipping is 100% okay, and canon ships are welcome as well so long as they’re legal and respect the characters’ existing identities*! i will note that some relationships have already been developed (have i talked about minnie here yet? no? well she’s sort of implied to be theo’s love interest) but that shouldn’t stop you from having fun!!!

*in which i should remind people that the treacher sisters are both lesbians + sharkie is exclusively gay 🫶

4. sharkie without a doubt, no questions asked. they don’t feel like their life has much value outside of will, so sacrificing themself for him would be a no-brainer. willow is also the one comforting them more, but frankly it’s kinda shallow on her part. sharkie comforts her when she’s freaking out as well but is awkward about it and doesn’t know what to do so in their mind they suck at it and they’re the worst and they’re only making it worse and yadda yadda yadda. bpd thingz

5. ohhh wait i love this question ok hold on .. i’ll be exploring dynamics between the main 4 in the actual comic (so things like cassie & willow/sharkie will get expanded on) but duos like theo & ash or sharkie & viv are curious …… postcanon theo does get to hang out with ashton more but i haven’t actually considered the extent of their interactions much. sharkie would realistically never hold a conversation with viv given the circumstances but i think she’d have an energy that star would vibe with

anyway that’s now what you asked lol tldr i Love unlikely duos!!! i like exploring all sorts of character dynamics and sticking to Just canon on the basis of ‘anything else just wouldn’t happen’ is boring and lame

[loveisanimaginarydagger3000]

It went pretty good actually, yes he’s creepy he always tries to flirt which you would think the lesbian pride flag I have on my desk and my lack of interest would tell him that it’s a bad idea 🤦‍♀️

just seen others saying they’re jealous but can’t figure out if they’re jealous of you or me or both 😅

I don’t want ☕️ to fight me! I’m assuming because of the tea they are British, so am I! I think I may need to private message you, sugar. Don’t want to be causing fights

👀

Ewww not men not taking a hint😔

Haha I think theyre jealous of me cause everyone on here seems to be a slut for older women so😭 (I am one of these sluts)

Ayyyy WAIT. BRITISH MILF, I'm gonna sound american here but do you have a posh british accent? 😭 Like I'm from the North West so everyone here sounds meh but people from the south😅

Maybe you do need to dm me🤭 Also yes, I don't want another anon war so pls no fighting😅😭

[indecisive-dizzy]

Hmm,,,,,,,,,, howdy/eddie angst cause they won’t leave my brain

I love them, I love them so much. So they need to suffer >:)

Howdy is a petty ex, I can’t see it any other way

I think they dated in high school, but Howdy’s internalized homophobia kinda definitely ruined things

I think howdy said some… not nice things to Eddie (that he totally doesn’t think about himself haha 😅) and that ended the relationship

Howdy still has feelings, but he still hasn’t fully accepted himself for being bisexual so he pushes them away

Eddie was a hot mess after their breakup, he felt like he failed their relationship even though he tried his best to make things work

What Howdy said stuck with him for years. It was the first time someone he loved told him such things to his face and it haunts him

When they’re adults, Eddie tries to be cordial but Howdy just avoids him and is very bitter either with him

Howdy will never admit it, but in their relationship he liked Eddie more when he was in drag because he could pretend his relationship was “normal”

Howdy is so internalized it hurts but it still didn’t excuse him treating his bf like trash 😔

For extra angst Eddie dates Latter later on and their relationship is actually really happy and healthy

That drives Howdy up the wall, there’s now way someone could like LATTER more than him (I love u latter this is Howdy’s thoughts not mine :,3)

Lizzy tries to be supportive of Howdy’s struggles, but there’s a reason she confided in Latter that she was a lesbian before Howdy :(

Rip Eddie Dear you would’ve loved Chappel Roan

He listens to Pink Pony Club and cries in drag

Casual and Good Luck, Babe give me their relationship vibes

Also Lizzy’s girlfriend is called Gabby and she’s very pretty :)

Random but I think they both stood up Daisey at least once lmao

They’re just hanging out with Daisey and something comes up so they have to go and accidentally end up ditching Daisey

They’re just sitting at the bus stop with one of their coats, smoking a cigarette as they’re waiting for the bus. If they had a nickel for the amount of times that’s happened, they’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice /ref

Either way I think they need to talk it out. And Howdy needs to smooch a man without being ashamed of it- *cough cough* Barnany- *cough cough*

My brain is full of them so this seems kinda random lmao

Have a good day/night pookie :D

The Grinch ass smile I smiled when I read "Howdy is a petty ex" lmaooo HE IS. This man in insufferable and I want to put him in a blender (affectionate)

Howdy projecting his internalized problems onto others sob. my brain came up with the idea that the things Howdy said he didn't say in a purposefully offensive way? like "well yeah duh everyone knows..." like Obviously this thing he hates abouts himself is common sense and everyone thinks this way??

idk I just don't think he started it trying to be offensive. but it was and turned into a full shouting match as Eddie got offended/hurt and emotional. Eddie left crying (sobbing)

cough Eddie pretends he either forgot Howdy all together or at least their relationship cough. blames his bad memory to be respectful and Not Have To Talk About It. Eddie with avoidance tendencies <3 my poor bbg

You're so right. Howdy already disliked Latter (gee wonder why) but now he's in a relationship with His EX. AND They're happy and healthy! Howdy's Gonna blow a fuseeee

Eddie Dear is just like me fr. I Listen to Pink Pony Club and cry. Not in drag, but that's a skill issue lol

Poor Daisey 😭😭🤣 also, reference spotted. I have way more than two nickels for everytime I've seen this ref. I could buy a yacht!

They dooo, but Howdy's bitterness and Eddie's avoidance of the subject make it Difficult. God it'd be so funny and if Frank (or Latter?) and Barnaby teamed up (unlikely duo my beloved) to Force them to talk.

Barnaby get that "If You Were Gay" song and kiss that worm akdhajdja I think it'd fix him 🤣

[tanukified]

yo! how are ya? hope you're doing fine! : DD

how'd you think Shinobu and Mitsuri reacted when they had that 'oh. I'm in love with her.' moment?

cause I think Shinobu was the one who panicked more than Mitsuri. Mitsuri was flustered, yes, but she accepted it easily as compared to Shinobu who went through the stages of denial then the stages of 'fuck how do I tell her' and 'how to dig an early grave without being noticed' 😂

bonus: obanai and Mitsuri are bffs. Shinobu thinks he's jealous because he keeps giving her glares when in reality he's exasperated at his fate of hearing her name from Mitsuri every damn time.

Obanai, knocking on Shinobu's door at 2 A.M. after Mitsuri cried thinking Giyuu liked her crush (he's gay they're wlw/ mlm hostility) : for fuck's sake Mitsuri is in love with you stop your fucking pinning and kiss you useless lesbians.

I’m good!! I hope you’re doing great tumblr user I-like-anything-water!! 🫶

My thoughts on that are pretty much the exact same ahaha!!

Also Shinobu and Giyuu being wlw/mlm hostility is the most canon thing ever, they strike me as friends that absolutely roast tf out of each other as well ahaha!

In most of my modern AUs I HC that they’re only friends because they’re literally stuck with each other, Giyuu is not the best socially so making new friends is hard and Shinobu is busy doing her own thing and making friends just isn’t on her to do list. The Tomiokas being family friends of the Kochous just makes sense to me for some reason idk why 🙇 (it more like Kanae befriended Giyuu when they were kids and Kanae would bring Shinobu along, so he hung out with them both a decent amount + their parents getting along is a fun lil thing for me).

// Shinobu: “I can’t possibly tell Mitsuri I like her! I want to disappear into the void” Giyuu: “that can be arranged” Shinobu: “stfu Tomioka, I’ll poison you” Kanae: “haha you guys get along so well” (they don’t) //

Also Obanai and Shinobu barely getting along is funny to me, like they would probably rip each other to shreds if it wasn’t for Mitsuri. (I’m exaggerating, I love the idea of them getting along because of shared interests and maybe hobbies??). Also I think Shinobu might have the idea that Obanai dislikes her more than he actually does, he’s just silly and protective over his bestie and it comes off as pretty hostile 😔

[quillkiller]

I’m so glad you like them!!! I was really nervous about talking about them but I needed to get it out cuz none of my friends know I’m freak 😔. I absolutely adore them! And yes, mrs Williams having a first husband that Andy reminds her of!! I think he died, I’m not sure how, but I think that they already had kid together at that point and mrs Williams was desperate to get remarried so she married a man who had a good job who could provide for her but she had no real love for him. Then it was all for naught cuz he loses his job and they have to move to a ‘seedier’ neighborhood. I think however, that the time that Andy and her spent together was very beneficial for the both of them, not only just In the obvious way but also bc Andy is, at first, very sleazy, kind of a dirtbag but thru falling for an older more ‘sophisticated’ woman he learns that he wants to change, he wants to be a better man not only for her but also for his brother. He’s still kinda sleazy but he gets better. And on mrs Williams end I think thru having an affair and disobeying her husband, finally doing something for herself she become a lot more whole. After that summer I think she divorces her husband, moves away, and lives out her life a lot happier. It’s still very melancholy for the both of them but I think at the end they’re a lot happier and a lot better off after everything.

Enough rambling about them!!! It’s time for fucked up brother sister dynamics!! I honestly want her to be a lesbian, I think it would be really good for her. I think after the bachelorette party Annalise has a lot to come to terms with, she deludes herself for a while that she wasnt into it bc that’s Wrong, and that it was just a way to get back at her brother. She goes into full comphet mode and gets a sleazy grimy boyfriend who’s like 24 or something. She hates him so much tho and breaks it off after like 2 months. Annalise does eventually move away, goes to college, comes to term with her lesbianism, cuts her hair in a panic over her first girl crush. All that jazz. But I think her brother still haunts her sometimes. She’s mostly come to terms with it by now but after all, he’s still her family, she still has to go home every winter and see him and his wife. WHICH!! Btw let’s talk ab the wife!! I think her names some very basic name like shelia or something. She’s the real tragedy here, cuz while Annalise escapes to the Big City TM shelia can never!! She’s stuck, forever a wife, forever a daughter, forever a mother. And she hates it!!! But there’s nothing she can do! So she jsut has to sit there, picture perfect wife, over thanksgiving staring at the one woman who made her feel something. Staring at her and whatever girlfriend Annalise has brought over,, thinking about that night.

this reply is so late but trust!!!! i’ve been thinking about this constantly…… im so happy you wanted to share them with me :,) 🤍

GOD I LOVE MRS WILLIAMS AND ANDY….. and her desperately wanting to remarry as fast as possible to make sure she and her child are provided for…. and then the new husband loses his job and they have to move to a worse neighbourhood. god it breaks my HEART. she’s everything to me i want this to be a film so bad. & andy and his brother. god… and this affair being a trigger point for both of them, with a happy ending but not a happy ending together. but like. melancholy like you said. oh it’s so sweet ……

FULL COMP HET MODE AND SLIMY BOYFRIEND I KNOW THATS RIGHT…….. moving away and cutting her hair when she tries to figure out her identy/has her first crush on a girl . we’ve all been there… god i love her. and yeah, its still so complicated because she cant ever fully get away from her brother. that’s still her brother. she’ll still see him, and maybe they’ll regress to their old dynamics whenever theyre under the same roof, and GOD !!!! you’re so brilliant. AND SHELIA !!!!!! THE FIANCE !!!!!! the real victim !!!!!! shelia can never escape oh God. doomed to be a wife, a mother and resenting it. SHELIA ILL SAVE YOU……. the image of them all spending thanksgiving together and her watching annalise and all her girlfriends, thinking back to that one night where she felt alive. oh it makes me fucking sick to my stomach.. alexa plat good luck babe chappel roan …….
