#do they have an OT3 ship name?

[itsclydebitches]

Humor with a dash of angst fic prompt:

Rebecca and Trent have a Girl Talk session in which they both realize -- and are subtly trying to acknowledge -- that the other is in love with Ted. Given the obliviousness of our favorite gaffer combined with some individualized hits to their self-confidence, they're both convinced that a relationship with Ted will never happen, so why not continue the goodwill they've been practicing and help the other snag the coach instead?

Neither, of course, realizes the other is doing this.

So it's just this round-and-round conversation of ignorance and miscommunication and Silent Heartbreak Suffering.

Rebecca: You know, Ted still has that bag of your hair-ties. You should go get it back from him sometime. I'm sure there's a reason he would diligently watch over such an insignificant bit of property :) Dammit but they really are perfect for each other. Ted's already a father to his daughter and they flirt, constantly, enough to fill another book! C'mon, Trent, you're smarter than this. Open your eyes already!

Trent: Ah, yes, perhaps I will. Though really, doesn't Ted do kind acts like that for everyone? You're the only one he bakes daily biscuits for and -- as a complete non-sequitur -- based on Michelle I'd say Ted prefers blondes :) They've got such a strong bond after working together for three years and I've been here, what? A few months? Besides, why would Ted be interested in a struggling writer father when Rebecca Fucking Welton, owner of the Greyhounds, is right there! She's not normally this dense. C'mon, Rebecca, just put me out of my misery already!

Keeley from behind the couch where she'd crawled to fetch an earring, stayed to eavesdrop a bit, and then fully settled in when it became clear what exactly they were doing. She's been texting Roy updates for the last twenty minutes but has finally reached her breaking point: Oh my fucking god wOULD YOU BOTH ASK HIM OUT ALREADY?

Meanwhile, down in the offices:

Beard, who saw this coming months ago and has a sixth sense for when it's all coming together: Hey, Ted. You know what polyamory is?

Ted: No, sir, I do not. That got anything to do with those cute Polly Pockets?

Beard: Not even close. Google it in the next five minutes, would ya?

Daisy: My soul is dark and cold and has no room for love.

Peasley: My heart is so small, the Grinch is jealous.

Luigi: Hello!

Both: Shit.

"...maybe you two should keep to the magic and leave the potion experiments to me."

I spent way too much time on duusu and didn't actually give myself time for the three witches OH WELL

[mothsartart]

i continue Ted Lasso posting… anyways, i desperately need more fic of these three so if you’re considering writing some please please please do

see some process pics below the cut!

i wanted to do a value study, working from greyscale and then into color. i’ve never done this before so it was kind of wild to do. the first here is the grayscale, plus the lighting i added, the second is the flat colors with no shading, and the third is from when i wanted to commit crimes over struggling on drawing Roy Kent’s beautiful mug.

“Parker,” Eliot hisses at the ceiling vent, “what the fuck?" Aw, shit. “Aw, shit.” Hardison grimaces, rubbing his head. In the…excitement of the night, he completely forgot about Parker. “Parker, why are you in the ceiling?” There's a long pause. “I don't understand the question,” Parker says.

brain going brrrr with all these candela obscura 2 ot3 thoughts. marion is so clearly in love with sean, that's a given—but whether it's survivors guilt, ptsd, or other stuff we don’t know about yet, sean isn't letting himself be loved in that way, even if deep down that's what he wants, so he just acts like marion's worry/affection is a brothers-in-arms bond. marion misreads this as sean not being interested, and not wanting to lose his friendship, resolves to put any romantic feelings for sean aside. in this effort, he begins developing a crush on jean, who very much reciprocates this crush. but jean also can't help but notice how Marion's glance keeps drifting to Sean, how he's always the first person he seeks out in a room. she isn't jealous, but it breaks her heart to see the man she loves so broken up—especially because (though she may not know the full story) jean can tell that Sean does, in fact, have romantic feelings for marion, he just doesn't know how to admit it to anyone, least of all himself.

Sean, for his part, is outwardly supportive of marion and jean- always wing manning for him and never speaking ill of jean, but there's something that nags him about seeing Sean together, and he's not sure what.

Jean is happy being with marion, and at first, doesn't give too much thought to his history with Sean—whatever it is, they've been through a lot together that she couldn't understand. But as the months pass, Jean wants to give them the space to work it out for themselves, but she also loves marion and can't bear to see him working himself into knots over what's so obviously a misunderstanding—and she resolves to do something about it.

something something something jean gets her boys together and they start an incredibly sexy capable crime-fighting polycule. Sean and jean had a few little flirty moments and (as other tumblrs have said) their leg of the triangle can be that classic bratty tank/dom healer thing

My Top 100 Ships (#26: Spencer/Derek/Penelope)

Source: Criminal Minds

When Did I Start Shipping Them? I shipped Spencer and Derek basically from episode one: I started shipping Derek and Penelope from the first time they interacted, and then they grew into a tidy little OT3.

Why Do I Ship Them? I kind of ship the whole main cast together, I love the found family vibes and the way they support each other, but something about Derek's relationship with both Penelope and Spencer struck me as especially impactful.

Favourite Fanfiction Tropes/Staples? I would just generally love more OT3 content: it's not the most popular one. But I'd like more Penelope-centric fics! Developing her relationship with the others: the way she loves them and they love her.

pov im showing you my new ""poly"" ship that is totally not like any of the other poly ships i have

[teabiscs]

Second Place for October’s Ship Poll.

These two are… fun. I like them.

I need to see other people’s headcanons.

So them in my head is

they hook up one too many times (okay WAY too too many times.)

Hiro catches feelings first, but in his mind there is NO way Kai is interested and this is just physical.

Kai takes longer to come around to his feelings and he hates them. because really? Hiro?

kai's take is VERY similiar to Borka. Hate fucking. whatever but them getting over their hate is much faster. Theyre never like lovey dovey but you can tell they can stand being near one another now.

also the thought of Takao bothering Kai and Kai being like if you don't stop, I am going to fuck your brother, and then doing just that.

and once theyre together they are that judgey couple thats always dressed up. bombastic side eye

also hear me out. Kai making fun of Hiro's stupid bega glasses that he still wears. AND HIRO making fun of Kai wearing colored contacts.

also the thought of Takao finding out about the two of them. is so perfect.

ship your two faves together, yes.

but why stop there.

you can join them. make otp ot3. fave ship and me.

Willow has officially been the one (1) fandom to finally break me and have me writing fanfiction. I feel like it should be some sort of life achievement unlock.

smth smth yingfeng paralleling farcille

(magically inclined long lived partner tries to defy death by bringing their short lived partner back to life/have immortality but they come out Wrong(tm) instead)

just. the parallels <3

RIGHT? Like oh my god I love the idea of it: a mortal and immortal character falling in love, and the immortal one doing something horribly taboo for them to be together forever. But maybe they fuck something up, or maybe it's just their punishment for playing god, but their now-immortal lover Comes Back Wrong.

I'm actually not caught up on dunmeshi (I get the gist of farcille from socmed, though) but I really like an Inuyasha/Kikiyo flavor to it- Mortal lover is full of rage and hatred, immortal one can't not love them, and then they romantically and dramatically die together murder-suicide style and drag each other to hell. You know, the good shit. ☆

It is one of my ideal dynamics for a bad end pairing. And I do like necromancy shenanigans with a happier/good end, like farcille style too! Just...I don't like either situation for yingyue.

I don't think there's anything wrong with playing with them that way as long as you don't pass it off as canon, like I say all of this with no judgment. But I'm picky and I like to follow canon more closely so I can't really see them in that kind of scenario haha.

It's just! Yingxing's whole deal is that he's a haughty, spiteful, arrogant asshole of a man whose life mission is to be such a damn good craftsman that he can tell all the Xianzhou Natives who looked down on him to suck his short life species dick and flip them the bird. Him being made immortal takes all the fun out of it for me and kinda removes a central part of his character. I LOVE him being petty and full of himself. He should do it more!

And I am so so dearly enamored with the relationship between him and Baiheng. I can't write her out of the whole equation, especially considering she and Yingxing both Came Back Wrong from this incident, and she was the actual intended target.

Like. He loved her. Yingxing loved her. Baiheng was so, so important to him. She's referred to as "the beloved" in Blade's character stories. He called her his bosom friend. He handmade a jade flask just for her.

Not a weapon,

not something she needed,

not something he was doing to show off,

just a flask.

Something pretty, and just for her, something that she would like and use everyday. Not a need, but a want. He did it simply because he wanted to give her a present.

She was the first person to really encourage and believe in him. She helped him come out of his shell (so all that arrogance is her fault BSMZJMS). That animated short where they went up in her star skiff together and she called him cute fucking killed me. They make me chew concrete.

And she was really important to Dan Feng too! He wouldn't have tried to bring her back, otherwise! She died saving him. And he knew what he was doing when he chose to try to bring her back as a Vidyadhara. He had to have. There's no way he couldn't have known that his life was forfeit after this. They don't let you get away with purposely breaking one of the Ten Unpardonable Sins like that.

And he chose to do it anyway. He still chose her life over his own. Dan Feng loved her, too.

He and Yingxing both worked together to try to bring her back because she was someone neither of them could bear to lose.

So if anything, I feel like yingyue is more like larcille bringing back their beloved Falin haha

But no matter who is romantically involved with who, like. It's the love between all three of them that's important.

That's the secret ingredient that makes the triumph of Falin's rebirth and the horrific tragedy of the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae so emotional. Because these were things that could not have happened unless they all loved each other.
