*trying to pick out a game to play*

Jace: Growing up, I played the quiet game with my dad all the time.

Jace: I would play the Quiet game, the Sit Still game, the Ask For The Cheapest Christmas present game… One year I won because I asked for a pile of dirt.

Isabelle: Your childhood makes me sad.

Alec: What about apples to apples?

Jace: Is that like Wash the Dishes?

Isabelle: By the angel it just got sadder.

Sibling Showdown!!!

[eww-y-tho]

Every Single Thing I Have Ever Shipped!

Okay, let me be clear with a disclaimer that this has been throughout my entire life, and obviously, media targeted towards children that are mentioned are most definitely in the past.

I have them formatted with a small chunk of info as to why I ship/shipped them. I sorted them in order of how weird I think they are, from plain vanilla to the esoteric. I am also going to have a checkmark [✅] signifier that will indicate whether I've read fics for the ship or not.

This is a long one, so turn away while you still can, because "keep reading" will kill you unless you're actually invested, which, I don't know why you would be.

Also, this couldn't possibly be everything I have ever shipped. But it's as much as I could possibly think of.

Heartstopper

Nick Nelson/Charlie Spring ✅

I love these two, and even though I figured out most of the things about my sexuality before Heartopper graced my screen, Nick Nelson still had a very similar, albeit not identical, journey of discovery to mine, which makes me even more attached. 

Elle Argent/Tao Xu ✅

They are so adorable. I love what their relationship represents and their dynamic in the sense of their attachment to each other. Like most people, I think I got a bit frustrated on their first date scene, but it was understandable, so that’s just a small gripe I have.

Darcy Olsson/Tara Jones ✅

I already made a post talking about how I felt about the foil between Darcy and B*n, but my opinion boils down to ‘the girlboss is slaying despite her situation,’ and I think Tara is an amazing girlfriend for her and they genuinely made me cry.

Supernatural

Dean Winchester/Castiel ✅

I could not be more late to Destiel and the queerbaiting was murderous, but I still love the ship. They also trigger my religious trauma sometimes but I never claimed to value my mental health, so yeah.

Samuel Winchester/Eileen Leahy ✅

C’mon, she was the only fit that I loved for Sam other than Jess. She could not be any cuter with him and I just think they’re adorable af. Another reason to hate 15x20.

Shadowhunters

Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood ✅

Are you joking? How could I watch this show and not ship it? They’ve made me straight-up sob on multiple occasions. The immortality thing does depress me, but I can live with it.

Simon Lewis/Isabelle Lightwood ✅

God, when I tell you this ship single-handedly revived my interest in the nerd/hot person trope I am not lying. They’re honestly too perfect for each other sometimes.

Lord of the Rings

Frodo Baggins/Samwise Gamgee

“Sam.” But meme aside, I was fighting tears by the end. Honestly, I love their dynamic as it is, but I could still see a romantic reading.

Aragorn/Arwen Undómiel

Fuck, they got me so invested it’s not even funny. I felt less attached to them than I could’ve been but I still loved the dynamic and rooted for them so much.

Star Wars

Anakin Skywalker/Padmé Amidala

I think everyone loves this ship as a tragedy to some degree, even if you hate the prequels. Plus Clone Wars just made me sad af all over again so they deserve a spot on the list.

Star Trek

James Kirk/Spock ✅

Okay, you got me, I never watched an ounce of Star Trek besides Spirk content. And even from a peripheral view knowing that Kirk is supposed to be a lady's man, they’re still gay beyond reason.

The Nanny

Fran Fine/Maxwell Sheffield

This show was my childhood, I think I started watching it with my family when I was under 10. Anyway, I feel like they were a slow burn done correctly. Wholesome as all hell, plus Fran is an amazing character and I love how she integrated herself into the family the right way.

C. C. Babcock/Niles

You cannot deny that the “I loathe you” kiss was perfect. They hated each other for so long, and I get the dislike of that aspect to the relationship, but they still made them believable without squashing their pre-established chemistry.

H20: Just Add Water

Cleo Sertori/Lewis McCartney

I cannot believe that Sea Change and the episode where Lewis left made me cry. I must’ve watched Sea Change like 50 million times because it was just peak cinema to me, but I couldn’t watch Lewis leaving again because it crushed my soul so violently. The moment when he came back with that sweeping camera motion made me audibly gasp and kick my legs. It was that bad. 

Rikki Chadwick/Zane Bennett

I’m really sad they didn’t work it out in the end, although I completely understand Rikki and I wouldn’t want to go back to Zayne myself. Although it did seem like Zayne was trying to make things right with her in the last episode? But Mako Mermaids didn’t show her with Zayne, so I’m inclined to believe they never made up.

Yuri On Ice

Yuri Katsuki/Victor Nikiforov ✅

When I tell you I fully screamed at the kiss scene AND the proposal, I am not lying. They were just the ship you freak out over, you know?

Yuri Plisetsky/Otabek Altin ✅

Welcome To The Madness made me open my third eye. I didn’t ship them before then, even though I did think they would be good together. 

Free!

Makoto Tachibana/Haruka Nanase ✅

This was my OTP ride-or-die for a solid year. I’m still very fond of the ship because I joined the fandom just when the war was ending so I didn’t experience a lot of toxicity.

Rei Ryugazaki/Nagisa Hazuki ✅

These two were perpetually second place, but I still adored the dynamic and was obsessed with two specific fics for ages.

Rin Matsuoka/Sousuke Yamazaki ✅

Is perpetually in third place. I’m not as invested in this ship, but a fic would get +5 points if it was a side pairing, you know? That vibe.

Kuroko No Basket

Tetsuya Kuroko/Taiga Kagami

I’ll be honest, I only like this ship by aesthetics alone, and I haven't seen enough of this show to really get into the fandom, because, you know, I dropped off of sports anime. I still like how they look, but I just don’t care about them enough.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Elizabeth Swann/Will Turner

Like, I don’t think I need to explain myself here. The sheer sexual energy present in this ship is suffocating. 

Hunger Games

Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mallark ✅

Oh my god, where to begin? I love these two, they were my Bella and Edward if that comparison makes sense. Except for a better relationship in every single way, no biggie. Personally, that quote is a bit overused to explain their relationship, but it still made me shrivel into a prune.

Finnick Odair/Annie Cresta

The only person I would want Finnick with other than myself. They gave cute, wholesome, true love and just passed the vibe check with flying colours.

Merlin

Merlin/Arthur Pendragon ✅

Again, another ship I love even though I haven’t watched the source material. I do remember watching the ‘two hours of merthur scenes’ YouTube video a few years before I got into the fandom, so It’s been in my peripheral view for a while.

My Hero Academia

Izuku Midoriya/Bakugo Katsuki ✅

Oof, I don’t like MHA anymore because it was just too toxic, and this ship used to be the OTP after Free!, but like, it’s fallen in the ranks super hard. 

Shōta Aizawa/Hizashi Yamada ✅

They were the subtle one that I shipped because why wouldn’t you, you know? They were beyond cute in their scenes together, and I loved the perpetual teasing.

BTS

Jeon Jeongguk/Kim Taehyung ✅

My OTP for two years after MHA, I used to be pretty crazy about them. I realized that these were people and it started to feel gross so I fell off the ship pretty quickly after that.

Kim Seokjin/Kim Namjoon ✅

Again, my youthful mind just reduced them to mom and dad and I didn’t think about it until I got more into fandom politics.

Min Yoongi/Jung Hoseok/Park Jimin ✅

I would ship them in any configuration, I liked all of them, although I did have a preference for Yoonmin.

Dan and Phil

Daniel Howell/Philip Lester ✅

DON’T KILL ME, I WAS A TWEEN. I wasn’t insane about it, but I read some fics and watched ‘Moments That Hit Different’ videos once they both came out. I know they haven’t confirmed anything, and I am respectful of that. I still watch them and I’m glad they’re in a better place now. 

DC

Batman/Joker ✅

Judging by the posts I have already made, you can tell I’m very passionate about this one. But it’s honestly more of a guilty pleasure ship than anything else. I don’t like that I like them.

Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy ✅

They’re another story. Cuties indeed. I love them. I think their relationship is very interesting although it can also cross into toxic territory.

Telltale: Batman

Bruce Wayne/John Doe ✅

I’m singling these two out because they’re just unique from the rest of the ship in a way I can’t explain. Like… If normal Batjokes yearning levels were dialled up 10x more.

Marvel

Venom/Eddie Brock ✅

It’s just a hot ship, sorry. Not to mention their really weird relationship with each other and the fact that they HAVE CHILDREN. Plus I love the cute Venom blob fanart.

Peter Parker/Wade Wilson

I just think they’re an amazing dynamic, with the whole team-up comic and subsequent moments together.

Detroit: Become Human

Simon/Markus ✅

Even if the cut romance path with Simon is just a rumour, I feel like we were robbed of some great LGBTQ representation. “Our hearts are compatible” will make my heart clench to this day.

Hank Anderson/Connor ✅

Another one I’m not too proud of, in retrospect, although I still do see some romantic tones to the relationship. But the fics were great, not gonna lie.

Kara/Luther ✅

I love them in a found family way, but I can see them being together in a hypothetical future together in Canada scenario.

Tales of Zestiria

Sorey/Mikleo ✅

Boi, another ship I feel very strongly about. Objectively, they are canon and I’m going to continue to believe they are. I love their shared dream and I think the foundation of their relationship is very precious.

Rose/Alisha ✅

Super cute. They honestly feel stronger in The X, but the DLC did also make me ship them.

She-Ra

Catra/Adora ✅

I understand the arguments against this ship, that it’s kind of toxic and all that, but I just don’t care. They literally feel like soulmates and I just vibe with this dynamic. A perfect kiss, and a great ending.

Sailor Moon

Haruka Tenou/Michiru Kaiou

I only watched the first few episodes of the original Sailor Moon and the ending with my sister for my birthday, so this is another ship that I haven’t seen. But I still love them from what I’ve been exposed to and I hate that they were reduced to friends with the English dub.

Cardcaptor Sakura

Touya Kinomoto/Yukito Tsukishiro

Again, a peripheral ship where I didn’t watch or see Cardcaptor Sakura, but I mean, they’re adorable and canon. Not much else to say about it.

Attack On Titan

Ymir/Krista Lenz ✅

Let me break this down before everyone hates me. I love Ymir and Krista. Ymir was really the push she needed to become her own person and I love that arc. But I’m also a firm believer in bisexuality existing, headcanons are fine, and that it’s okay to move on from past loves.

Eren Yeager/Historia Reiss ✅

I was kind of cringe during this era, and I did think they were endgame, which is why the ending tainted my opinion of the show overall. I fell off the show pretty shortly after the manga finished. But sometimes I will revisit these two to torture myself for some reason. I’m sure Destiel and Merthur shippers can concur.

Erwin Smith/Levi Ackerman ✅

You know, I loved the fake Ackerman lore that Eren came up with because it was an interesting literary device and at least confirmed this ship slightly. They felt very gay in a weird way.

Armin Arlert/Annie Leonhart ✅

It’s funny, I shipped them before Annie was revived and fell off the ship once they became canon. It felt really strange, but the way the relationship played out felt just contrived and fake afterward.

Haikyu!

Hinata Shoyo/Kageyama Tobio ✅

Ya’ll, symbolism at its finest. I’m not sure what happened to their relationship after watching season 3, which is when I dropped the show because I lost interest in sports anime in general.

Daichi Sawamura/Koshi Sugawara ✅

Oof, another mom and dad ship that I appreciated a lot. It was another constant +5 if it was a side pairing in a fic.

Seraph Of The End

Mikaela Hyakuya/Yuichiro Hyakuya ✅

(For anyone that’s alarmed and doesn’t know, they’re not actually related.)  They’re very frustrating for me because they are so aesthetic, and they are honestly quite close to canon. But I just think there are certain aspects to the relationships that I don’t like, like Mika’s obsessive behaviours toward Yuu. Just reminds me of Eremika.

The Betrayal Knows My Name

Sakurai Giou/Luka Crosszeria

Okay, the one thing that I actually love about this ship is the reincarnation aspect to it because it really drives home how in love they are with each other. Yuki will always love Luka even if he doesn’t remember him, and Luka will love Yuki no matter what form he takes. Very deep.

God Of War: Ragnarok

Atreus/Angrboda ✅

I don’t understand why a lot of people didn’t like this relationship. They were very cute and gave me some Rapunzel/Flynn Rider vibes, especially in the very beginning. And I can see them in a very cute, mutually supportive romance.

Last Of Us Part 1

Ellie Williams/Riley Abel

I refuse to have my adolescence destroyed by part 2 after I saw the smallest clip of Joel dying, so I’m sticking to Left Behind. I was sobbing by the end of that DLC. Also, the show handled THAT scene perfectly. Loved it.

Last Of Us Part 2

(so. I decided to bite the bullet as soon as I wrote that. and I watched a playthrough.)

Ellie Williams/Dina

Okay. Listen. I would love it if they got back together in that theory with the bracelet. But I also see a poetic parallel to Tommy and Maria. Tommy kept disrespecting Maria and putting himself in danger, and it's clear that that's the main reason for them taking a break. There might be a chance to get back together, but it would take a lotta time.

My Little Pony

Fluttershy/Discord ✅

I am shooketh at the implications of the last episode. They were my favourite ship in MLP, and I am sad to share the cringe that I watched Bride and Daughter of Discord when that was around. But the whole paper bag thing during the epilogue made me implode, I’m so happy they ended up semi-canon.

Rainbow Dash/Apple Jack

They did have many moments that left me in a chokehold when I was in my older childhood years, but I fell off MLP for a solid 5 years before hearing the rumours on the grapevine that they became canon. And they are super close, you can tell.

Undertale

Undyne/Alphys ✅

These iconic chaotic lesbians made me squeal at Undyne’s cheek kiss in the end credits. I love practically every single one of their scenes together.

RG 1/RG 2 ✅

They literally made me blush during their boss fight. Raw dude bro love that turned into something more. Something deeper.

Lightning Point

Zoey/Kiki

I’m pretty sure no one in existence knows what this show is, but lemme tell you, Zoey and Kiki just gave me the vibe of an alien couple on a little adventure that gets trapped on Earth. I don’t remember the ending, but I do remember how cute they were. 

Life Is Strange

Chloe Price/Maxine Caulfield

Despite the bad rep this ship has gotten over the years, I would still sacrifice Arcadia Bay at any opportunity. Their kiss was truly a magical moment.

Stanley Parable

Narrator/Stanley

The Not Stanley ending still breaks my heart when I watch it, and Ultra Deluxe just expanded on their relationship so well. They give “I hate to love you and love to hate you” vibes.

Ace Attorney

Phoenix Wright/Miles Edgeworth ✅

Oh come on, anyone who doesn’t ship them confuses me. They have the backstory, they have the revealed, close relationship, and everybody acknowledges the subtext. This ship feels so similar to the Destiel situation rabbit hole, honestly. And it’s also incredibly frustrating.

Little Nightmares 2

Six/Mono

Kind of crazy, considering the end of the game, but I thought that their dynamic was very poetic and tragic. Personally, I don’t think that Six was malicious when she let go of Mono, I think she just recognized Mono was The Thin Man and wanted to prevent him from becoming himself in the future.

Mario

Bowser/Luigi ✅

I love how this ship exploded so quickly and I just love the duality of the ship. It’s either very good smut or the cutest diabetes-inducing sugary fluff.

Scream

Billy Loomis/Stu Macher

Textbook queercoding. I’m sorry, that back hug still makes me shiver. They truly felt threatening and scary which is an especially difficult emotion to get from me.

60 Parsecs

Baby Bronco/Emmet Ellis

I have Markiplier’s video of his playthrough of this game to thank for me shipping them. I couldn’t stop laughing when he was like ”You were elevated, de-elevated, ascended, descended, repeatedly.” He made me ship them so quickly it was actually insane.

Sims 4

Malcolm Landgraab/Cassandra Goth

It’s a weird ship that I found from someone else, but I do love the idea of a Romeo/Juliet situation with these two. Except that they’re both rich. And Malcom is an asshole. Who cares though, that can be fixed in post with a little thing called MC Command Center.

Kim Possible

Kim Possible/Ron Stoppable ✅

This show opened my scope for multishipping. To this day, this is the only time where I ship two things at once with the same level of love. Anyway, Ron was just such a dumbass and I love them.

Kim Possible/Shego ✅

COME ON NOW. They were the first jerk of a pull start to the discovery of my sexuality. Also very cute, I love their storyline together. I find it easier to believe Shego was in love with Kim, but it’s still a very solid ship.

Ever After High

Apple White/Darling Charming ✅

I know people make a huge drama over it, but I also can’t get over the fact that Darling’s kiss breaks the curse. But even then, their small moments do make me think that the story might’ve been gearing up in that direction. I’m not sure, though.

Raven Queen/Dexter Charming

These two are miscommunication gold. And I hate it. But I love it. They are less compelling than the other ships that I enjoy from this show, but I still like them together a lot.

Rosabella Beauty/Daring Charming

I don’t know, I’m just a sucker for a good Beauty and the Beast story, plus this is the only relationship that gave Daring even a modicum of character development, in my eyes at least.

South Park

Craig Tucker/Tweek Tweak ✅

This ship is wild. Like, I love it so much, but I honestly think it came out of nowhere. Their unique energy just gives me life, the ball of stress next to a cool bean.

Sesame Street

Thumbelina

Ok. SO

CLASSIC HUSBANDS. How could you not ship these literal LGBTQ icons? They say they aren’t in a sexual relationship, but does that matter? No. I love them as Bert and Ernie, two puppets in love.

Bert/Ernie

Henry Stickmin Collection

Henry Stickmin/Charles Calvin ✅

I refuse to talk about the Valiant Hero ending. I’ve never seen such a strong marriage between bro and mance, and their scenes together are always fun.

Reginald Copperbottom/Right Hand Man ✅

I’m just saying that the amount at which Right Hand Man protects Reginald is sus beyond normal proportions. Also the level of trust? “Reg?” It feels absurdly gay.

West of Loathing

Player/Gary

This is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever shipped, considering one of them is just the player character. But Gary is so cute! I love him so much! Any playthroughs where they go with Gary make me so happy.

Dream Daddy

Player/Craig

Another player character, but this one tugs my heartstrings differently. I know a lot of people think Craig is the most bland. Honestly, I just think everyone else is super messy. Like I’m not about to get with the youth minister, my religious trauma did not crush me for this.

VeggieTales

Bob the Tomato/Larry the Cucumber

I actually heard this isn’t too crazy of a ship, but I swear, if you grew up as a Christian queer and watched VeggieTales, you felt the vibes. Like Bert and Ernie, tbh. But also, a scroll of the fics indicates gratuitous smut that I am not down for.

Tom and Jerry

Tom/Jerry

I love the fanart of human Tom and Jerry, but if you think about their relationship, I would say they’re almost as fucked up as Batjokes. They care about each other, but they also inadvertently or purposefully almost kill each other. Love them tho.

Magic School Bus

Carlos Ramon/Phoebe Terese

A wtf ship. But hear me out. I was a literal child and saw a very adorable relationship dynamic that made my heart squeeze. That’s it.

Clifford

Emily Elizabeth/Jetta Handover

Okay. I know what you’re thinking. “What the fuck’s wrong with you?” I know. Another wtf ship. But they were cute, no denying that. I love how Jetta’s character developed and the friendship these two managed to cultivate together. And again, I WAS A CHILD. 

Greek Mythology

Hades/Persephone

I love them. They scream love in such a unique way, and they trigger my arranged marriage turned love story guilty pleasure. Also, we love the fact that Persephone has equal authority to Hades.

Achilles/Patroclus

Have you ever seen anything as gay as these two? They are true mythological tragedy icons at their finest and are just peak masculine love.

Babylonian Mythology

Gilgamesh/Enkidu

More gay tragedy. This one actually makes me emotional, though. Who knew we could find that much of the first story known, have it be major character death and enemies to lovers, on top of being gay af?

Bible

David/Jonathan

Is it heresy? Yes. Is it assuming things? Yes. Is it benefiting from a dodgy translation? Yes. Do have any fucks to give? No. Besides, I have no respect for the Bible. They are gay.

[siavahdainthemoon]

City of Blood snippet-thing

(City of Blood is the working title for the next 'book' of Runed, the one that comes after City of Knives.)

“And this is the heart of the Gard,” their guide said, and pushed open a pair of black doors emblazoned with the Clave’s quadruple-C symbol in gold.

Inside was a coliseum; tiers of high-backed chairs, row after row of them climbing to a dizzying height. The ceiling soared higher still, walls of mirror-smooth black marble giving way to a fresco of Jonathan Shadowhunter and the angel Raziel. The first Shadowhunter’s agelai-to-be surrounded them, armoured like fairytale knights, kneeling with heads bowed to Raziel’s glory. Directly beneath them, the first circle of chairs mirrored them: straight down from a woman with the Morgenstern stars on her fallen shield was a seat with the same stars set into the back in adamas. Simon turned in a slow circle, searching for familiar symbols, and found the Fairchild chair, the Lightwood one with its flame in yellow and red gold, even Wayland’s silver—or platinum?—horseshoe, all on the first row closest to the floor.

The seats of the High Houses.

Their guide was talking, but Simon wasn’t listening. He kept scanning the chairs, wondering how different the room would feel if it was full, if the heads of the Houses would hate him or revere him, want him put down or crowned or married off and making lots of little Morgensterns for the war effort. He quickly ran out of House insignia he recognised: here was a lion with a shining mane, there a hammer, there a bare-branched tree, and he had no idea which families any of them belonged to.

He waited until what sounded like a pause in the discussion, then interjected, “What’s up with the covered chairs?”

Somewhere between a third and a half of the seats were hidden under heavy white cloth, which made Simon think of empty houses, abandoned places. The fabric was silk or something, he was willing to bet, but still, it undercut the air of grandeur the room was going for.

The pause before she answered was short, but heavy, and Simon was turning to look at her as she stammered, paler than she had been a minute ago, “Those are the seats of the fallen.”

Fallen like in battle? Or Fallen, like fallen angels? Had the Morgenstern chair been under a cloth like that until a few months ago? Or—

“As in, gone,” Isabelle said, because she knew him too well. She made a grand, sweeping gesture taking in the whole room, but there was no laughter in it. “Behold the Houses that are no longer with us. Dead to the last daughter.”

White. White cloth. White for mourning, mourning the fallen, and Simon flinched despite himself, because he might not want to be here but he didn’t want this, either, this many Shadowhunters dead and gone, not just individuals but whole lineages. And he wouldn’t have been so flippant if he’d known.

So the Morgenstern chair had been covered, until not long ago. The Fairchild one, too.

He wished they still were.

[adrianivashkv]

"I don't know about that," Adrian replied, still managing to muster some playful sarcasm despite his current emotional state. "What Benji or Alec do on the weekends has nothing to do with me." He followed the quip with a sigh, as the smirk that accompanied it didn't reach his eyes. "I wouldn't say better. Calmer, perhaps." He answered honestly, shrugging a shoulder. Adrian was grateful, at least, that it'd been Isabelle who found him this time; she'd always been more open-minded and understanding, less of a rule enforcer than the aforementioned. "I know. Yeah, I know. I appreciate it, I do. But it's not..." he paused for thought, unsure how to explain. Nobody experienced the abilities that he did, nobody could truly understand. So talking about it felt pointless, like shouting into empty space. Whilst Izzy could certainly sympathise, she couldn't relate. "It's not you. It's me, it's all me."

"Excuse me, do these shoes sound like Alec? Or Benji?" She promptly stomped her foot, clicking the heels to the ground once more, before joining him on the pavement with a sigh. The pair weren't particularly close, but Izzy still very much cared for him, and was worried to find him here on her journey home. It wasn't surprising, she supposed, but it still upset her. "So, you're feeling a little better then?" She asked, eyeing the joint, wondering about its effects. Izzy had always steered clear of drugs, but it often made her curious. Unsure how best to get him to open up, she fiddled with her nails. "I know I'm not Rose, or Eddie. But if you wanna talk to me, you can. I hope you know I'm here for you?"

[bookishjules]

2, 4, 16 and 19 !! I picked vindictive ones so you can have fun with it :)

2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

*clears throat* isabelle lightwood would never bottom because (a) she likes being in control, (b) simon would never argue against it bc he loves her and wants to make her happy and also she's fucking hot from the bottom, and (c) she has a history topping (see cols and cohf). (note: idk that i necesarily agree with this argument, but it sure is compelling)

4. what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

idk that i've ever actually blocked someone who i didn't know/expect was a bot.. i feel like this is a tumblr right of passage i never experienced? like i know ive been blocked but i've never felt i had enough of a reason to block someone i could just *shrugs* avoid interacting with

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

calling declan pathetic and all the other rhetoric people use for him like he's a boneless puppy who was left out in a thunderstorm. idk if you would call that fan-characterization or hc or what but it kinda makes me lose my mind every time and is one of the main reason i have a hard time following trc blogs

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

cheating plots.. simultaneously mad, ashamed, and horrified

today we choose violence

davina claire

Isaac may soon discover he is not only a werewolf, but also a doppelganger of a man named caleb. If he runs into Davina Claire the regent will surely recognize his face as she had previously fallen in love with it while kol was occupying his doppelganger body. This could make for an interesting and confusing introduction.

Hayley marshall

When isaac gets to new orleans, he is watching his back fully aware of the slayers. After hearing the rumors that they are the ones killing the wolves in the bayou, he may just team up with the labonair blood line to see that the slayers get a taste of their own medicine.

isabelle lightwood

“Ouch, I bit my lip… kiss it better?” ~ izzy

"Awe," his mouth purses.  Hale tries not to chuckle at the pout he hears in Izzy's voice.  Head tilting to the side, he reaches up to cup one perfectly soft cheek.  "Poor thing."  There's no blood as far as he can see, no cuts, no damage. Doesn't mean its not there or that it doesn't hurt.  Still, he couldn't just let the request go without doing anything about it.  

The pad of this thumb brushes lightly against her lower lip.  "Be careful.  These are precious."  A small smile grows as his finger continues the caress that helps calm his nerves.  Full lips glisten beneath the light, singing to him like an angel's choir.  Gravity coaxes him down for a gentle brush of lips.  "Better?"

Your opinion on Sizzy?

Hello, Anon! It’s been 300 years since I read The Mortal Instruments and I haven’t read The Dark Artifices to know how is their dynamics working! I recall liking the ship very much, I think they fit well even though they are a little bit of opposites sides of the coin! Of course, that are things I disliked, like Simon kinda being with Maia and Izzy at the same time! It was really disappointing. 

However, I was kinda proud of his decision to be away from Izzy for a while after he lost his memory! After all, memory is indeed something that molds our personality and he was living a different reality and molding himself again. So it was a wise decision that I appreciated! 

I don’t remember much more than that, I’m really sorry! maybe it’s time to reread TMI so I can give you a more detailed opinion!

tyler travels to new orleans with the rest of the mystic gang, looking forward to meeting the labonair pack he meets someone more interesting whom his uncle mason had told him about. derek hale, part of a werewolf family bloodline from his uncle's past. he doesn't hesitate to be a part of his pack, especially with the immense amount of danger wolves in the quarter are under, being hunted left and right. tyler is keeping an extremely low profile so the original hybrid doesn't notice his arrival, it would only cause more trouble for tyler and his friends.

lydia martin (x)

tyler never visited beacon hills with his mother, but her twin sister and his cousin lydia have paid them a visit a few times. he isn't aware that she's in tune and fully aware of the supernatural world around them. when they go to new orleans, he sees she is there to and tries to keep her out of the mess.. only to learn she is very much a big part of it all.

derek hale (x)

mason, tylers uncle, had once been very close with a whole family of werewolves known as the hales. when tyler meets derek in new orleans, he is more than happy to be around him with all the stories he has to tell and wisdom to share. though, tyler may have to warn him, klaus is no joke and if he tries to mess with him.. he will help him prepare for war.

isabelle lightwood (x)

as isabelle is working closely with elijah, she will likely encounter the issues that concern the bayou as of late. with the recent killings, she could be of great help in putting an end to it and tracking down the one responsible. tyler could aid her in this hunt, but as he is an enemy of the originals, they could also have a lack of trust between them.

         “I didn’t mean to break it.”  She might have taken her frustration out on the punching bag, but it wasn’t the first time.  Izzy might have been small,  but she could beat the hell out of a punching bag.

“Did you want me for something?”  She wiped the sweat off her brow.
