001 with Benthan, please tell me all your feelings (if I've even managed to be the first one to ask about Benthan)!

CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE THE FIRST thank you so much for sending!!! now on to OUR BOYS

when I started shipping it if I did: i think i’ve low-key shipped them since rogue nation bc who didn’t but it wasn’t until after i saw fallout this summer that it bulldozed over me and my life, and i’m so grateful to have found its smol and cozy fandom on here. i love you all so much.

my thoughts: they’re just??? so soft???? like they canonically care about each other and very visibly openly worry about each other and jUST. IT’S SO RARE TO SEE IN A BLOCKBUSTER ACTION MOVIE FRANCHISE (I MADE AN ENTIRE POST ABOUT THAT) and they’ve never felt the need to “no homo” any of their more heartfelt scenes? I’M JUST, I LOVE THESE SOFT SPY BOYS SO MUCH. they’re IN LOVE.

What makes me happy about them: that they just care about each other so damn much and would both do anything for the other. benji would follow ethan anywhere, and in turn ethan would do everything he can to protect benji. they also play off each other perfectly, and, sorry to be a Nerd with my hogwarts houses headcanons, but they’re the perfect gryffindor-hufflepuff hatstalls combo that when come together becomes an unstoppable force of sheer will and determination. ethan might be careening through life at mach 3 speed at all times but benji will be there right alongside him to support him and they somehow manage to make it out alive (usually with the help of their ravenclaw and slytherin friends, who know when to hit the brakes for them).

What makes me sad about them: mmm sad headcanon time but they probably each believe “i’m not going to die of natural causes“. and both would rather die protecting the other if possible, even if they know that if the other did the same for them it would destroy them. (and at the start of their relationship benji still lowkey doesn’t believe he can measure up to julia, even tho he knows that ethan loves him. he doesn’t let ethan know that, tho. and ethan is absolutely terrified of the thought of ever losing benji, and it’s part of why it took him so long to take that step to be with benji.)

things done in fanfic that annoys me: it’s happening less now, but sometimes fics tend to infantilize benji a little. and sometimes lines directed at benji like “you’re a terrible liar” annoy me because benji is canonically a very skilled liar. benji is a very capable field agent, but earlier stuff in the fandom, people tend to forget that.

things I look for in fanfic: listen,,,,,,mutual pining is my Ultimate Weakness. if you have that in any capacity i’m SOLD. also top!ethan is preferred but i’m not picky.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: god this is such a hard question bc for me when i get invested in a ship i just…..go all in. i’m ride or die. i can’t multiship to save my life. BUT if i had to choose, i understand the appeal of will/benji and that’s also a very valid and very good ship. and honestly i am still very soft for ethan/julia, tho i also do love the canon of them breaking it off but still maintaining a good relationship, that’s also very rare to see these days. that said, i can also see ethan and luther having a queerplatonic relationship.

My happily ever after for them: them doing what they do best, defying death and murphy’s law side by side, but with maybe more kisses and hugs (and sex, I Guess).

who is the big spoon/little spoon: listen ethan is physically incapable of not wrapping his arms around benji protectively when they’re in bed and benji is very unused to being treated like he’s the Most Important person in the world but it’s ethan so he’s okay with this, and lets himself have this. self worth issues be damned. tl;dr- ethan is the protective big spoon and benji is the self-conscious but willing little spoon.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: anything as long as they get to spend time together tbh. when you’re risking your life for the world every other week everything else you get to do together becomes a blessing. they would happily cuddle together on the couch each reading their own book in silence.

(send me a ship/give me a character/send me 5 characters)

You know what my fave thing about the assholery from yesterday is? That these people seem to act like because this is a 17+ app, everyone should be ok with seeing certain content. Like regardless of whether or not under 18′s can or should use this site, it’s not just them who might have a problem with it. As though adults who don’t like that stuff or are repulsed by it don’t exist. Hell, I’m not one to feel uncomfortable about that kind of content and even *I* get majorly put off by the sort of stuff I’ve seen. 

But the fact of the matter is, despite what a lot of the discussion became about, this is a lot less about the smut and more about the fact that people post utterly irrelevant things in the tags for a small fandom and drown out the actual fandom content. I’m sure if I went into H*nry’s tag and started posting nothing but Benthan content or just pictures of Tom or Simon and filling up the tag with stuff that has nothing to do with him, they’d all have something to say about it because it’s completely irrelevant. Someone being in a film doesn’t mean that you have to tag every single post about them with that film name. Also, literally no one is saying that you shouldn’t post it, post whatever the hell you want, but keep the tags relevant, it really is not that difficult. Post it in his tag, where people will (likely) enjoy that content. People can scream ‘censorship’ or ‘gatekeeping’ all you want, but there comes a point where common decency should override the ‘I DO WHAT I WANT’ attitude (though I’m clearly naive to think people on tumblr have an ounce of decency lol my bad). 

My blacklist is so jam packed of urls because of trying to hide that content (which I would recommend to my friends who don’t want to see the content because chances are, with the attitudes we’ve seen, they don’t care and won’t make any attempts to understand, so I would recommend blacklisting any and all urls who post this content).
