.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Jisung ‗ ❍

Jisung is a nerd (affectionate <3), everyone knows. Now, he seems to be pretty proud of it, and I genuinely get the vibe that he would dislike people who picked on it for no reason. Like, why do you hate fun dude?

And that's exactly why he does like people who are able to have fun with these pop culture/nerdy things like he can. You're automatically a cool person to him. And imagine if on top of that, you maybe even share his tastes AND you're hot?? Then it's settled, you're his.

Watching anime, dramas, movies but also reading manga, manhwas (and so on), but in general indulging into this type of content seems to be both a hobby and a comfort activity for Jisung, so it's natural that he would love to share this with his s/o.

You'd recommend things to each other, both to watch together and separately, or maybe keep up with the same things and then discuss them and your opinions. It would definitely be something that would connect you more on a personal level, too, I think.

Especially since you can learn so much about a person simply by understanding their likes/dislikes, what makes them cry, what makes them laugh ( or *aroused*).

It becomes a natural thing between you two to use this common interest as a way to connect even more and lift each other's mood when you need it. Maybe one day you're being a little sad or disappointed for some reason, and Han would just either drop a very specific reference that would make you laugh or simply suggest spending some time together and relax.

Of course, it would be a mutual thing. You'd absolutely use these little infos about him, like having a particular preference/crush for a character, at your advantage. I feel like that would get him more flustered than he'd like to admit.

This little game would absolutely turn somewhat kinky in some way, at some point. Like role play kinky. It could be in a very random moment, for example you two could be watching something and one of you would go "That was hot. Want to make out?" and then you'd end up fucking on the couch at 4 pm on a Sunday, just because.

Or it could be a planned thing. "I prefer the villains anyway" you'd randomly say during a talk, shrugging casually. And man, would he take notes. Next thing you know he's going to randomly pin you against the wall, a hand sliding lightly up from your chest to your neck, "Do you trust me?" you eyes wide, a little confused but excited, you'd answer "Yes". He'd smirk, proceeding to tell you all the filthy things he was going to do to you.

I am a firm believer that Jisung is a switch so yes the situation could 100% be reversed.

Felix ‗ ❍

With Felix the options could be multiple, but for now let's focus on his 'nerdy' side. In this case it leans more into computers/electronics and gaming, which I think is a bit more specific than something like watching anime.

It's more a relaxing activity and a hobby (one of) than a passion in my opinion, so I don't think that he would search specifically for a s/o was also into these things, but if you were then it would be very cool.

Nonetheless he would let you into these things pretty easily, and you would be happy and eager to hear all about it, of course. At the end of the day seeing him getting excited and enjoying his time was the thing that mattered the most, and you felt good knowing that he cared enough to the point of wanting, or maybe even involuntarily, talk about it with you.

It would probably take a little for him to actually be completely comfortable, meaning that I see him as someone who would not hide his hobby but would try to make it 'cool'. Like, "Me? losing? never" and you'd be like "Sure sweet cheeks" and then just watch him get his ass beat up by the other players. Of course with time you'd earn his trust and confidence enough to be allowed to roast him whenever you wanted to (lovingly ofc).

But you would also be his number one fan! He would love to have you present as a 'lucky charm' or ask a kiss for good luck, to bet with you jokingly, to comment and complain about the game itself or other players and so on. Felix would love to have you around in general to be honest. It would greatly help his mood whenever he got frustrated or nervous for some reason.

He would also find it extremely cute when you got a little clingy, like laying your head on his shoulder or hug him from behind just because you felt like it. He loves getting attention and physical contact with his loved ones, so of course he'd appreciate it a lot.

But of course like all things between couples that are fun and cute, could also very quickly turn into heated situations. "This damn game is pissing me off! And that guy just keeps being so annoying, shit" he'd complain, waving a hand in the air in annoyance. You couldn't help but be just a little amused seeing your cute boyfriend get all worked up, the frown on his face just about as threatening as a kitten hissing.

"Mmh" you'd hum, getting up from wherever you'd be sitting, "I'm going to take a shower now. How about you get a rematch, beat that annoying dude and win for me? Then we can celebrate" his mouth would go slightly agape and his eyes wide looking up at you. You'd just chuckle and get his headphones back up on his head before walking away.

Not even five minutes into the shower he would burst in, undressing himself on the way and join you. "Did you win already?" you'd ask in amusement. He would shut you up with a feverish kiss "No, I got distracted" he'd smirk in between kisses, "Besides that cunt can go fuck himself, I got better things to think of"

Seungmin ‗ ❍

Seungmin would love to have an s/o that matched his vibe. He also has side hobbies outside of work, so for example he would love to get you involved in them. But in general of course you'd make sure to always support him and share his excitement.

That one baseball team that he absolutely dies for played a game and won? Suddenly you become fan number two. Do you give a fuck? Maybe not. Does he know? Of course he does but that's why he'd be ten times more happy if you decided to play along. Also knowing how fast this man can switch vibe, you would trul just wouldn't know what to expect next.

"Didn't you say that you can't stand sports?" you'd roll your eyes at him dramatically, "You little sh-" he'd just laugh and kiss your cheek as a silent thank you. I feel like he would genuinely value that a lot, especially if he knew you only did it for him.

Seungmin would be beyond entertained in a situation in which he was being a little shit to someone and you'd just, play on his team. Either of you could casually drop the most out of pocket comment about something and the other would throw back a smart response and then you'd just keep going. Literal partners in crime.

Again, he looks like a man that has range. From cute, to serious, funny, sarcastic and even sexy. And an s/o that could put up with it and be able to respond perfectly to his mood would make him thrive, I think.

He also seems like someone who wouldn't enjoy having his boundaries messed with, though. If he was mad or seriously anxious, he wouldn't like someone acting off and maybe undermining his feelings. But he'd like someone that would take him seriously and tried to help in practical ways.

This boundaries could also imply physical touch or specific words/behaviours. For example, you could decide to play with his hand in public rather than getting all over him and kiss him. Or again, I feel like he wouldn't be the number one fan of being too cheesy in front of other people, but could very well appreciate it when you're in private.

He definitely has a romantic side to him, so you initiating stuff with him would make his heart flutter like crazy, in the right situation. There could be some exceptions, though. Imagine you're out with a group of friends, and you decide to tease him a little.

You'd lean in and whisper, "Seungie, I'm bored". He'd raise an eyebrow at you, genuinely confused at first, "Is something wrong? Do you want to go home?"

You wrap your arm around his, your head resting on his shoulder "No, I didn't say that. I would just rather to do something else" he was eyeing you a bit suspiciously now, carefully asking "Like what?".

You'd try to hide a smile and respond very casually, purposefully making him even more flustered. "You?" he'd absolutely have to control himself from making too obvious expressions, making you chuckle.

He'd silently curse you for getting him worked up in such a situation, but then after a few minutes he'd casually say that it has gotten late and you should go, or straight up make up an excuse. Now, what happens after and its consequences are gonna be on you and you alone ;)

Jeongin ‗ ❍

Jeongin would probably love to have a s/o that is similar to him. Meaning that he'd probably way more inclined to want spend time with someone that he can share anything with, emotionally, physically, habits wise.

I feel like he values communication and understanding a lot. He would like to have someone who knows him well and with whom he could maybe create some sort of routine? He also is someone who may be a little hard to read, but definitely has different range depending on whom he's with. That alone implies a great sense of trust.

You'd undoubtedly have to keep up with him, though. He seems to be generally a pretty quiet person, but could absolutely get a little crazy sometimes. Like, one evening you'd be quietly having a relaxing time at home and then the morning after, when you wake up he'd randomly go like "So, how about we take the train and visit this place today?"

You'd kind of just impulsively go and have a great time. Regardless. Could be raining, be tremendously hot, super windy. You could lose the train or the bus, drop your ice cream on the floor, literally anything but it wouldn't ruin your day. Because you both have that kind of positive and carefree attitude that makes you match so well.

I feel like he wouldn't ask for anything specific except someone that can keep him in a good mood and be there for him when he needs it. You'd just be a safe space for each other, honestly.

Kinda feel like he's secretly quite affectionate, especially with an s/o and a few other exceptions (kids and animals, lol). Jeongin is clearly a very sweet person in general, but I do feel like he holds himself back a bit when he gets anxious about 'exposing' himself too much emotionally.

Still wouldn't 100% be a very clingy or cheesy person in public, but would allow toned down PDA like holding hands, leaning your heads on each other, sharing smiles. Something a little more specific, is hugging or being closer to each other in a crowded place like the subway, an event, a square and so on.

He would very much appreciate conversation. A kind word, some encouragement, a joke or just you being calm and trying to influence your good mood on him would be more than enough. He would probably be really touched by it.

I feel like you'd have 'your' thing. Like a couple ring, necklace charm, bracelet. Something small and private that only the two of you would 'get', and find great comfort in it.

Let's not forget about his silly side though, this man could be the sweetest angel in one moment and start joking around/teasing you in the next. You'd laugh a lot together, and those would most likely also be the situations in which things could get heated.

Even in sudden moments, just out of pure love. For example, while you're roaming around the city, having fun and just being so full of life and love that at some point it would feel almost...overwhelming.

You'd just look at each other, feeling such intimate connections that you'd probably just spend the whole way back home giggling and exchanging super lovey-dovey eyes. Until you do in fact reach home, and that's where the magic would happen. Could be slow and romantic, undressing sensually and smiling type of vibe, or it could turn into something a lot more passionate and frenetic. You're just going to have to find out day by day with him :')

oooh Minnie....you know those fics out here that have the characters watching the future and things like that (where they watch their own movies or read the books and react? ) I was wondering if ever Steve and Bucky were to watch their movies (maybe an avengers watch the movies type situation) and they get progressively more confused as Endgame goes on because why would Steve ever leave Bucky? Or maybe they're watching CATFA and during the bar scene Steve watches the scene and realises that Bucky might have been in love with him. And the avengers pause the movie for Steve and Bucky to have a conversation because Steve sees the look on Bucky's face when Peggy arrives.

Oh and Steve reacting to the bank vault torture scene in WS as well as the in CW ....ooh the possibilities.

I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself very well.

Hello my darling! I'm sorry it's taken me a while to reply to this lovely message, it's been a very busy few days! But aaahhh, this is such a beautiful idea, especially the second one you mentioned 🥺 I can just imagine the Avengers, post-TWS, watching the new Captain America movie that's been made about Steve's life (featuring a pair of certain very handsome Hollywood heartthrobs...). And Steve is ready to hate it, as he's hated all the other movies about him he's seen, but he finds that he actually quite enjoys it, more than he thought he would - until they get to the scene in the bar you describe, and Steve huffs out an awkward laugh and says, "Okay, I'll admit this one is pretty good so far, but come on... I don't understand why they've made it look like Buck was jealous or something. Why would they do that? That's not how it was at all, right Buck?"

But Bucky doesn't say anything, eyes remaining glued to the screen and refusing to meet Steve's gaze. The rest of the Avengers are pretending not to be watching what's unfolding between them (except for Clint, who's openly staring at them while munching on popcorn), but the room is collectively holding its breath.

"Bucky?" Steve repeats, willing Bucky to look at him. "You were just teasing, right? You weren't actually jealous." He pauses, feeling wrongfooted somehow. "Were you?"

Bucky swallows audibly, meeting Steve's eyes for a fleeting moment before looking away again. "'Course not."

"You liked Peggy," Steve insists. "You- you were happy for me. Right? Buck?"

Bucky gives a jerky nod. "Sure, Steve."

Steve feels suddenly like he's missed a step on the stairs. "Bucky, what's- I don't understand, why-?"

With a deep, heartfelt sigh, Bucky's shoulders sag, and he finally looks up - and the look on his face makes Steve’s heart go into freefall.

"Steve..." Bucky shakes his head slowly. "Of course I was happy for you. Doesn't mean I didn't also want to yell and rage at her, for coming between us the way she did. For being what you wanted, what you deserved. For taking you from me. Even if you were never really mine."

And once Steve has recovered from the shock, once his heart has started beating and he's found his voice again, he finally, finally finds the courage to admit what he's been keeping a secret for all those years - that he's loved Bucky from the moment he met him and wanted him from the minute he was old enough to know what wanting someone meant, and that if he'd only known, there wouldn't have have been any question about it: he’d have chosen Bucky over Peggy in a heartbeat, in every single way, over and over again.

And as they fall into each other's arms, teary-eyed but happier than they've ever been, the other Avengers wipe away stray tears, sneakily hand each other cash.

Aaahhh I love this, nonnie 🥹🥹 And you're right, the possibilities *are* endless!! So many other amazing scenarios to think about with this particular trope! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us, honey! ❤️😘

Robin instantly froze when she saw you walking over to the door of the Family Video, walking inside and flashing a smile to her and Steve before starting to look around for a new movie to watch. To be completely fair, you didn't visit the Family Video so often just because you love movies. It has more to do with the girl standing behind the counter that works there. This particular detail was very much obvious to Steve, but no matter how hard he tried to convince Robin about it, she'd always find another answer as to why you seem to visit the store so much.

"I'm sure she's just really into movies," Robin had commented once right after you left the store.

"Really into movies?" Steve repeated in disbelief. "She's here every week, always asks what you think of the movies she picks, and quite honestly it's like I don't even exist!" he added. "Robin, this girl clearly likes you."

"No, you don't know that. You're just theorizing!" she snapped back, visibly freaking out over the topic of conversation. "Stop doing that before you give me false hope!"

"Okay, whatever. I get that you're not ready to make a move on her and all...but you need to at least read the signs!"

"There's no signs, Steve," she insisted. "Please, just forget it."

And Steve did. He never once mentioned it again, much to Robin's dislike. It freaked her out how awfully quiet he was about the subject and, to be honest, she liked hearing all of Steve's theories, even if they only encouraged Robin to create even more fake scenarios in her head. Pretending you actually like her and you guys are together. That you'd walk in one day to the Family Video and confess your love for her.

But that never happened, so Robin continued to suffer in silence because she couldn't have you, and Steve watched the two of you with nothing but frustration. It was so incredibly obvious you had a thing for each other, he practically had to hold himself back from screaming at the two of you to get together already. He hates to see Robin so hurt over you and not being able to make her see what he sees every single time you're at the store with them.

As soon as you walked inside the Family Video, Robin turned to look at Steve who immediately pretended to write something down on a notepad. "Hey, dingus," she called, titling her head towards you. "We have a customer."

"Yeah, I know. Can you go see if they need something?" he asked, showing her the notepad. "I have to write some stuff down for...inventory."

"No, you don't."

"Fine, I don't. But I already attended every customer that came in today which means it's your turn."

"You have no idea how much I hate you, Steve Harrington."

Steve smiled after her last comment. "No, you don't," he copied her.

Robin sighed and fixed her uniform jacket before making her way towards you. Steve visibly frowned at her behaviour, watching her walk incredibly stiff to where you were standing. He really needs to start giving Robin more advice on how to approach a girl.

"H-Hi," was the only thing Robin was able to say, already feeling her palms sweaty and her heart about to jump out of her chest.

You looked over at her, once again smiling, and Robin swore she was going to pass out right there on the floor. How is it possible another human being could be this beautiful? That was a question she still couldn't find an answer to.

"Hi, Robin! How are you?"

"Uh, fine, yeah...fine," she stutters, clearing her throat shortly after. "And you?"

"Fine. I just finished the essay we had for english class next week, so...figured I could watch a new movie."

"Oh, that sounds nice," Robin replied, trying to make her sentences as short as possible. She was super self-aware and she knew once she opened her mouth, there was no way of shutting up. Her brain would move faster than her mouth (or the other way around) and she would end up embarrassing herself in front of you and completely ruining her chances of ever becoming at least your friend. She couldn't risk that to happen. "And, uh...you have anything in mind?"

You shrugged, "not for now," was your answer. "Though if I need something, I'll make sure to call you."

The way you smiled at her and the sound of your voice were enough to make Robin's mind go blank. No words, no sentences, no possible stuff to say. Nothing. It was just you and your gorgeous face and your breath-taking smile and...

Shit. It's happening. Everything she won't allow herself to blurt out loud is running round and round inside her head. Her mind wasn't blank, it was so filled with thoughts it was impossible for her to distinguish between each of them.

But she knew she had to say something quick before she continues to stand there like an idiot, so all she could come up with at the moment was, "Oh, okay. Grool."

What the fuck is grool? As soon as that left her mouth she wanted to instantly disappear and never come back. She wanted to say "great" but her mind was thinking about "cool" and she couldn't seem to choose one of them before the two came out together. Grool.

Steve was by the counter hearing all of this feeling absolutely sorry for Robin. He knew it was hard for her to interact with people, especially if she has a crush on them. She always tried her best, but more often than not things go badly for her. However, and much to his and Robin's disbelief, you laughed. Not like a laugh that showed you were laughing at Robin for messing it up, but with Robin.

"You're funny," you commented right before focusing back on the tapes in front of you.

Robin didn't fully understand what just happened, but decided to go back to the counter to avoid saying more stupid things. Steve looked at her with a confused expression and Robin immediately put both of her hands up, as if saying "I honestly don't know how I made it out of there alive".

And she clung onto what you said to her that day for the rest of the week, and the week after that because you didn't visit the Family Video. It was crazy how something so seemingly insignificant has light up a fire inside of her that she's not sure how to stop from spreading all across her body every time she thinks about that moment.

You truly mean the absolute world to her, you are her world, yet you've never exchanged more than a few words because Robin wouldn't allow herself to get so comfortable. That would mean bombarding you with half-coherent sentences and just a bunch of information no human being will ever be able to process.  She's weird, she's a nobody, she talks way too fast and always screw things up. You're the complete opposite. There's no way you would ever settle for her.

But after that day she started to get a little more comfortable. If you were willing to talk to her after what happened and didn't show any signs that you considered her a freak or anything remotely close to that, she began thinking that maybe there's a chance. Perhaps you do like girls in the same way as she does, and hopefully she can make you feel just as good as you make her feel if you give her a chance.

She talked to Steve about it and he quickly encouraged her to do it. To talk to you just a little bit more and see where things go from there. She was afraid you would be the wrong girl, that her secret would come out to everyone around town, but at that time she didn't see what she's starting to see now.

Her heart almost skipped a beat when she saw you walking out of your car after you parked just outside the Family Video. It's been almost two weeks since your last encounter, and Robin was already planning what she could say to you to start a (hopefully) normal conversation. However, the smile on her face faded and her heart shattered into a million pieces when she saw a guy exiting the car. But that didn't mean anything, right? It didn't mean what her mind immediately wanted her to believe.

That is, until she saw you laughing about something the guy just said as he pulls you into his arms, leaving a kiss at the top of your head. The gesture didn't look friendly at all, and there was no way Robin could save herself from the terrible truth: that is most likely your boyfriend.

She was awfully quiet watching the two of you, and it didn't take Steve too long to notice what she was seeing. "Robin-" he started, but couldn't finish because Robin quickly ran to the back of the store, trying very hard to hold back her tears.

You walked inside just in time to see her storming to the back of the store, which to you seemed kind of weird because of how unexpected that was. Whatever had happened to her, it quickly made you visibly concerned, walking over to Steve who was still by the counter, debating whether or not to go after his friend.

"Hi," you greeted him. "Is Robin okay back there?"

"Uh, hi. Yeah, she's...I think she was feeling a bit sick earlier," he lied, trying not to give it too much importance.

"Oh, would you tell her I hope she feels better?"

"Of course. I'll go see if she's okay real quick, but if you need anything let me know."

"Thanks, Steve," you replied, walking back to where your friend was so the two of you could select a movie.

While you were doing that, Steve rushed to the back of the store and knocked on the closed door before walking inside. He heard a faint, "come in," from Robin and that's when he opened the door. He immediately noticed her sitting by Keith's desk, her arms resting on the metal table with her hands covering her face. She was...well, heartbroken.

"I'm so sorry about that," he says in a soft voice, not wanting to upset her. "I shouldn't have put ideas inside your head."

"It's not your fault, Steve. I let you get ideas inside my head. That's on me," she replied, her voice a little more raspy than usual because she was still holding back her tears. "It's me the one getting my hopes up when I knew there was zero chances of her liking me back."

Steve really didn't know what to do, so all he thought about doing at that moment was walking towards her and put a hand on her shoulder as a way to comfort her. Robin truly appreciated the gesture, a weak smile momentarily appearing on her face when he touched her shoulder.

"Thank you, Steve."

He immediately shakes his head, letting her know that wasn't necessary. "Do you want me to stay?"

"No, no. It's fine," she quickly said. "I really don't want this to ruin my day." Shortly after that, she sat straight on the chair, sighing heavily. "How do I look? Too miserable?"

"You look as beautiful as always, Robin," he says as a way to cheer her up even further.

Robin playfully rolled her eyes at him before Steve opened the door to go back to where you and your friend were already waiting to rent a movie. He wasn't going to force Robin to interact with you if she wasn't ready, so he decided to attend the two of you.

As soon as Robin walked out of the back of the store, you walked towards her. "Hey, are you feeling any better? Steve told us you were feeling kinda sick."

"Oh, yeah...much better," she replied, barely being able to make eye contact with you.

"That's nice to hear," you said, reaching out to gently touch Robin's arm, smiling at her. Of course you didn't mean it to do that on purpose to torture her, but Robin couldn't help but feel absolutely defeated by the fact that you were touching her upper arm and she can't pretend that it means anything at all. It was all just in her head. A fantasy. "I couldn't help myself and I had to rent The Shinning again. I know you said I've watched way too many times, but...well, it's amazing!"

Robin tried to act as normal as she possibly could. Like things didn't just completely change between the two of you. "Why does that doesn't surprise me?" was her attempt of a joke. She definitely sounded less cheerful than usual, but you figured it was because she was still feeling a little sick. "So, are you...uh, is it movie date tonight?" she dared to ask, looking over at the guy you were with who was currently talking about something with Steve. She didn't care about whatever he was talking about. She doesn't care about his existence at all. As childish as it sounds, Robin already hated the guy.

"What? Oh, no...jeez, no," you chuckled. "We're just friends."

"Oh, I thought..."

"I just don't..."

Both of you shut up when you realized you spoke at the same time. "Sorry," both of you said simultaneously.

"You go," Robin says, mentally cursing herself for the way she was acting.

"I was gonna say I don't see him in that way," you finished your sentence. "I don't feel that way for any guy, actually."

That was your way of subtly throwing a hint at Robin, and by the way she was looking at you you really couldn't tell if she understood or not. That was slowly killing you, because you seriously don't know how long you can pretend that you don't show up almost every week to this place just to see her. You need to know if she has noticed, or if she at least feels the same way as you do.

"Oh..." was all you got out of her.

There was a brief silence, just the two of you standing next to each other. You noticed your friend was already with the movie inside a bag Steve gave him, waiting for you to finish your conversation. "I should...I should go."

"Yeah..."

The situation was weird. You've never felt awkward while talking to Robin until today. It was so awkward in fact, that you didn't even say goodbye as you joined your friend to walk outside of the store. While Robin watched you go, you debated whether or not you should just tell her how you feel.

I mean, maybe she's into you too? Why else would she ask if you were dating your friend? It was unclear to you if you were giving too much meaning to random things, or this could really be your chance to get closer to her.

And maybe it was that, or it could also be the fact that you're just tired of keeping your feelings to yourself, that before you could get in the car you said to your friend, "Is it okay if I go back? I kinda need to do something."

"No, go ahead. I can wait here in the car."

"Thanks," you quickly replied, walking back to the Family Video.

As you were about to walk inside, you noticed Robin was also heading towards the door, both of you standing there with the glass separating you, staring at each other with nothing but fear in your eyes. You were both scared of talking. But the situation has reached a point when neither of can pretend there's nothing going on.

You slowly walked inside the store again, looking more frightened than ever. "I...uh, I need to talk to you."

"Talk to me?" Robin asked in disbelief, her heart racing. "I- I was just about to go tell you the same thing." There was another pause before Robin spoke. "We can talk back there, maybe?"

"Yeah, that'd be great."

The two of you walked back to where Robin previously was while Steve tried his best to seem busy with the computer, like he wasn't invested in what was going on in front of him. Robin shut the door behind her to avoid Steve from hearing the two of you, not wanting her friend to hear in case she she gets rejected.

"So, uh, why- why did you ask that...that date thing?"

"I- I don't know," Robin shrugged. "I mean, I just thought that maybe you guys were together since you were hugging out there, and that's why that question just came to mind and I felt like asking."

"Yeah, but why?" you insisted. "Why would you care if I was dating someone or not?"

Robin tried to find an appropriate answer, but couldn't really find one. She evidently panicked at the lack of help she was getting from her own brain.

And so the mess began.

"Okay, look, I know that sounded weird. And I know that I have been weird with you because I always walk like a robot around you and say the most random stuff just to seem cool, but truth is I am nothing like that! My legs work half of the time and I have absolutely zero social skills. Like, I'm absolutely the worst at talking to people. That's why my only friend is Steve, because he's the only one who actually wants to put up with me and my- my weirdness. And it's totally okay if you don't want to talk to me ever again or if you think I'm a complete weirdo for asking questions I should be asking, but it's just...I asked that because...because..."

You took a step forward, one of your hands moving up to her face so you could clean the tears that were falling down her cheeks. She didn't even notice the moment the started crying, totally overtook by the thought that this will most definitely be the last time you'll ever want to talk to her.

"I don't think you're weird, Robin," you quickly reassured her. "I actually think you're the coolest person I've ever met. Well, the groolest."

That comment made Robin laugh, her eyes light up when they look back into your own. "Really?"

"Yeah," you replied with a smile. "Do you really think I come by almost every week just to rent movies?"

"Wait, I don't...I don't understand."

"Promise me you won't think different about me after this," your voice showed how concerned you were, which was mind blowing for Robin. You were worried about what she would think about you?

"Promise."

"Okay, so...I said I didn't feel a certain way about guys because...well, I don't. I have no interest in guys whatsoever, if you know what I mean."

Robin was about to jump up and down in excitement after what you just confessed, hoping and praying this was going somewhere. "I think I understand?"

"I like girls, Robin," you finally let it out of your chest, trying to see if that confession created a positive or negative impact. She didn't look disgusted or anything, so you decided to continue. "And I just...I think you're really nice and funny, and for as long as I can remember I've had this huge crush on you."

You noticed her eyes filled with tears again. "You- wait, you like me?"

"Yeah, I...I'm sorry, I know this is weird. It's okay if you don't feel the same-"

"I like you too," she interrupted, still unable to believe this was actually happen. "I've liked you for the longest time."

It was clear to you that all she wanted to do was cry, so you allowed her to do so as you move closer to wrap your arms around her. As soon as you hugged her, she broke down in happy tears as she hugs you back, never wanting this moment to end.

It was real. You were there, hugging her, telling her that you like her. You don't find her weird, you don't have a boyfriend, she didn't mess things up. You like her.

You hugged for as long as she needed until she calmed down. You knew she was overwhelmed and rightfully so, because things like this just doesn't happen to people like you and Robin. All you see around you is that girls who like other girls doesn't deserve to be happy. They don't deserve their feelings to be reciprocated or having the chance to love someone else. Yet there you were, confessing your feelings for each other.

"Sorry, I wasn't expecting that to happen," she said when she was feeling better, moving back from you as she cleaned the last few tears off her face.

"I know, me neither. And I would love to stay here with you and talk more about this, but my friend is sort of waiting for me outside, so..."

"No, it's fine. I think we've said enough."

You laughed shortly at her comment. "We sure did. Maybe we can talk more about it later? I can come pick you up after work and we can hang out."

"Yeah, that'd be great. Uh...my shift ends at 5."

"I'll be here at 5, then."

You leaned to give Robin a quick kiss on her cheek, watching as she instantly blushed at the gesture as she looked away with the most adorable smile you've ever seen. You mentally reminded yourself to do that later when you pick her up just to see that reaction again.

She opened the door for the two of you. Steve immediately turns back to act like he was using the computer instead of trying to listen what you two were talking about. You said a quick goodbye to him before joining your friend outside.

Steve was obviously dying to know what was that all about. "Well?"

Robin couldn't stop smiling. "She's picking me up at 5."

"Wait, so does this mean, like..."

"It means she is the right girl."

❄️Todoroki HC's🔥

Aged-up pro hero Shouto. NSFW under the cut. Minors do not interact.

- - -

General

Might as well be tied with Bakugou for the #1 pro hero spot; they seem to pass the crown back and forth every other year. Everyone knows about their intense frenemies uber-rivalry. Well. Everyone but Shouto.

He's asked to speak at a lot of charity events. If he has time to prepare (and hire a speech writer) he is capable of stirring crowds to standing ovations. But if caught unawares... he gets cornered into hilarious on-the-spot interviews. He's been memed. Mercilessly.

He's an OP character, but unfortunately he rolled -500 in fashion sense. Eventually he wises up and hires a stylist. When he finally cuts his hair a slightly different and even more flattering way, it's a national event. People faint in the street.

Does god-awful sleight-of-hand magic tricks when he meets young fans, even though nobody asked him to. The second-hand embarrassment is palpable. But he keeps doing it. God, why does he keep doing it?

Has hovering arm syndrome in every fan photo.

Super into pop music. Not a fan of any particular group or artist, couldn't tell you the name of a single song. But every time he turns up the volume on the radio it's like... really? THIS? Probably pumps that shit through his hero agency to keep up morale. Has no idea what you mean when you tell him his music taste doesn't match his personality.

Similarly, he enjoys brainless romantic comedies and old silent movies. Doesn't laugh at jokes but loses it over physical comedy. Thinks Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd are the funniest people who ever walked the earth.

He's long and limber. Runs practically a hundred miles every day just to "relax." Doesn't even get sweaty doing it. A filthy yoga addict. He'll probably live to be 200 years old.

He can regulate his body temperature for quirk use but in everyday life he's always half a degree outside the Goldilocks zone. It drives him quietly insane; he has an epic love-hate relationship with his thermostat.

Has a therapy animal pet. Doesn't matter if it's a dog or a cat or a bird or an iguana or a teeny tiny rodent. It's the best-behaved animal in the country and speaks more languages than you. It has its own room and an instagram account with millions of followers.

Lives in a traditional Japanese estate that doubles as a national treasure. Probably has government-appointed snipers at the gate, and he's just like, "don't worry about it." You are afraid to touch anything. Fuck, don't even look at anything, just to be safe.

Has an outstanding personal chef who only gets to cook five things unless (thank fuck!!) company comes over. Impossibly picky eater. He rotates between a few "safe" foods and suspiciously side-eyes everything else. If you cook something unfamiliar for him it will be the most awkward meal of your life, because he'd never tell you he doesn't like it. But oh lord, just look at his face.

This clashes directly with his love of traveling. Frequently uses his hero earnings to visit exotic foreign locales over long weekends... but rarely tries the food.

Dating

A grey-ace demisexual disaster. You could count the number of people he's been attracted to on one hand. He falls madly in love every time and always gets his heart smashed to pieces when his crush can't magically intuit the meaning of his frigid longing glances and generically courteous romantic gestures.

Which is stupid, because he gets propositioned constantly. He can't walk out the door without being flirted with. People keep slipping him their phone numbers and he always directs them to his agency like a moron. It's a good thing he will never understand how attractive he is because that's the only thing keeping him from total world domination.

Conventional attractiveness does not compute. Shouto doesn't have a type, doesn't care that he's an eleven whilst you are merely mortal. He will fall for your personality above all else.

Probably falls head over heels because your schedules overlap in a completely ordinary way and he witnesses you doing something endearing or brave or most likely: utterly mundane.

Pick a favorite, because you're his favorite coworker, or his favorite barista, or his favorite random bystander in line at the grocery store. You made him smile once; then he spent the next three months daydreaming about your future together before you accidentally stomped on his foot, initiating your first real conversation.

He's big on healthy communication. HUGE. He goes to therapy and it shows. Will talk through literally everything to the point of delirium. Sometimes his dedication to resolving every issue right away can get overwhelming; sometimes you just need some frickin time alone. But it pays off, because the two of you have practically never have a "real fight." There's just no way for bad vibes to fester.

STILL, his family wasn't exactly... erm... verbally or emotionally supportive, shall we say. For that reason, he might not give you all the compliments you deserve, because it simply doesn't occur to him to do so. He assumes you know how he feels. If you're self-conscious or insecure in the relationship, it might take him a while to notice. But when he figures it out (or even better, when you tell him directly) he will make it up to you with enthusiasm.

Will take you on lavish dates. Spoils you rotten without actually intending to. He's clueless about money. If you wanted a sugar daddy, you just hit the fucking jackpot. But if the word valet makes you uncomfortable, perhaps suggest some romantic picnics instead. He can still go all out with the food and five-star location without making you see cartoon dollar signs.

Chronic Insomniac. Stays up too late watching YouTube every night. His viewing history is an incomprehensible blur of k-pop music videos, serial killer icebergs, and super girly crafty ASMR channels. When he's watching a video, he is unreachable. Please call back later and try again.

He's disgustingly cute when he sleeps. Doesn't snore, but drools. Sometimes the drool freezes and leaves frost trails on his face in the morning. Still sleeps with the giant stuffed cat pillow that his mother gave him when he was like, zero. He'll inadvertently suffocate you with it, and you will welcome death with open arms because awwwwww!!!!!

The first time he tells you he loves you will be after your traditional Japanese shinto wedding. You won't hear it again until you start a family. Honestly, it's a good thing he doesn't say it often and is always holding you when it happens. It's a knee-buckler.

- - -

Icy-Hot

I don't even need to say it. Shouto is as old-fashioned as they come. You will never open another door or pull out another chair for yourself as long as you live. He will ask before he holds your hand. He will ask before he kisses you. He will stop and check in if you so much as breathe funny during sex.

If you don't orgasm at exactly the same time while staring into one another's eyes, he'll consider himself a failed lover. God forbid you want him to pound you into the futon... cause you are going to have to present that scenario to him in writing first.

Physical intimacy rarely leads to sex. He loves cuddling, craves physical affection. He'll sprawl all over you and turn into goo while you hold him close. He's an amazing, astounding, phenomenally good kisser. And that's... nice and all... but sometimes you have to grab his face and say, "Shouto, I'm horny," before he's like so that's why you're currently dry-humping me?

Even if he isn't technically a virgin the first time (or the millionth time) you sleep together, you won't know the difference. He's a blushing violet. Every. Fucking. Time. This doesn't mean he's a bad lay, oh no. But there's always ten minutes of confused bumbling before he hits his stride and remembers oh yeah, I DO know how to fuck good.

Absolutely silent during sex. Focused. Intense. Sometimes you have to push him a little to make any kind of noise at all, just so you know you're pleasing him (oh don't worry, you are).

His cock is Just Right. Not to big or too small. Perfectly proportioned and symmetrical. Somehow pretty. Like a fucking factory prototype. It truly is not fair.

Gets handsy and restless at night, even if you both have work the next day. Seems to crave sex at three in the morning. You've given him more than one exhausted handjob.

Gets offended if you don't cum. Will go down on you for hours. Of course he uses his quirk to tease you. He doesn't typically use it during actual intercourse, but he's all about foreplay, and he'll use every tool in his arsenal.

His sex drive is completely fucking unpredictable. Sometimes he's all over you, other times he's an icy slab. His line of work leaves him busy and stressed on a near-constant basis, so you can't entirely blame his personality for this one. Just give him some time and help him take care of his basic needs. He'll come back around soon enough.

[fleurlia]

here is part two of this.

[7:13 pm] for all the phases you have been through in the past few months, all of them were disastrous. a couple of months after jeno has told you about his proposal karina and he appears with new rings, explaining to everyone how both just choose to make things more swiftly and not wait until graduation.

you already knew it but that didn't stop you from spending at least twenty minutes crying pathetically in the ladies' room.

certainly when you thought things couldn't get any worse, believe me, they did. you were convinced for the moment karina asked you to help her choose the dress. again, you couldn't blame anyone against yourself.

renjun and donghyuck stood next to you, holding their laughs as she was asking for help in the most loving way. just for when she was gone the duo were shouting loud and attempting to comfort your poor heart. following that, you saw yourself sat there watching karina trying on more than a thousand wedding dresses, for getting married to the love of your life.

it would be easier to hate her if she was a bitch and 20% less attractive. you thought.

and talking about him, you couldn't even hold his gaze without looking weepy and bitter. your friendship existed only by devices, which you believed would be turned off the moment he said yes to her.

after a year of planning and torture, the big day has arrived and even though you have created every possible excuse, none seemed good enough to not going to your best friend's wedding. including a sweet smile, your mom comforted you as you got ready for the wedding, holding up tears and making yourself at least looking attractive on the worst day of your life. you asked more than once for your mother to be merciful and to fake an accident but she keeps telling you how could you get over it if you didn't see "the dead body".

instructed to stay at least a few minutes late, you made everything possible to be delayed. not wanting to arrive and have to deal with the reception and face the bride and groom. not craving to deal with the fact that if you held more than five seconds alone with jeno, you would presumably tell him the truth that was stuck in your throat. then when you arrive everyone was already at the ceremony, your entry causing a small noise that drew attention. jeno's eyes catching yours immediately.

the couple looking supremely beautiful, like always. the dress that karina and you have picked just not fits her but makes everyone around her look poorly ugly. oh my god, i hate myself so much. that was the only thing going through your mind.

sitting down next to renjun, he sends you a glance. "it's almost ended, i thought you were not coming."

"as if i were that lucky"

he chuckles but gently takes your hands. even though you said more than a thousand times that you didn't want anyone feeling sorry for you, he tried his best to make things a little better.

while the minutes started to grow, your mind stopped a few more every time that ceremony got close for the "yes". holding up every tear you possess in your body, you almost failed as the old lady next to you smile in your direction and whispered;

"what are you from the groom??"

"i... i am his best friend, since freshman year at college."

"oh, that's why he is looking right here all the time."

quietly you agreed with her, not even daring yourself to look up and catch all of his stares. the moments pass with you staring to anywhere, you couldn't even look at them without feeling your chest squeeze in sharp pain.

"so lee jeno, do you take this woman as your wife to lover her, respect her, and looking for her?"

wishing to not stand there or even existed, you were close to starting to crying but renjun squeezed your hands and all that people heard at next was; "yes, i do."

lee jeno, the love of your life just got married... but it's was not whit you.

later on, — this including the time you spent crying and sobbing in the car — you were supposed to go to the celebration and that's is what you did as a supportive friend.

the first hour was going like a blink, you have to pretend so much happiness that the idea of the newlyweds just got blanked out of your mind. it was the last straw when jeno's sister approached you with a gentle smile, you could feel her pity just by the look on her face and you felt even more miserable when she said it in a low tone: ''i always thought that on a day like today, you would be my new sister.''

that hurt so much.

the rest of the night passed like a blur, a slow and painful blur. you had taken so many pictures and you were sure that you looked ridiculous in the picture with the bride and groom, donghyuck and renjun were there to support you but your false happiness was quickly destroyed by jeno's stares.

almost at the end of the celebration, everyone full of the food and tired from the dancing, people decided it was time for the speeches and in the crowd of invited people you hid behind your friends. if by any chance the universe hated you that much you would be chosen to give some words and you were ready to make a whole speech based on rose's in "love, rosie". it would be tragic.

karina's mother said beautiful words to the couple and praised jeno so much that you at that moment felt happy for him. many relatives passed by, all of them talking about how perfect they were for each other and at end wishing them happiness. you felt like a jealousy bitch at every second.

almost at the end of all your torture, you already agreed that renjun or one of his friends would take you home because you didn't even want to talk, it was the newlyweds' turn to speak. karina sounded so perfectly in love with every word she spoke out. you were thankful to be far away from the couple because your stomach flipped as you watched jeno stand up, straightening his suit and black hair.

you were about to get up and walk away, not wanting to hear about how much he loved her and was grateful to be married to her but after a second thought, you knew you would draw pitying and pitiful glances in your direction.

"i can give you more than a thousand and one reasons about how i ended up here, married to karina." his soft voice echoing throughout the room. "one of them is because sometimes... we don't notice that what we need is right under our noses. sometimes we even notice... but only a few people dare themselves to confess their love to that person.'' at that point nobody else understood where he was getting at with that speech. just like all evening, you didn't attempt to look at him and be unlucky enough to find him also watching you.

''one more reason why we are here, on this particular night, is that maybe i took too long to realize, waited for too long. i wish i could confess this earlier because... deep down i always knew it was you. the love of my life and my best friend.''

something inside of you clicked. back when you started to date, jeno looked you up one day and you fought, he was just being jealous that your then-boyfriend also claimed to be your best friend and you didn't say anything, the point is that he would never call karina his best friend. on that day, both promise never forgets about their besties and never, never calling anyone ''best friend''.

nobody knew about that.

"if... if i could only go back in time... maybe i would tell myself how i should confess to you.'' you looked up, getting his gaze. you stood surprised when you noticed that his eyes were tearing up. ''if only i had known that we would be here today. i never would have let your lips leave mine years ago, on new years'. i never should have walked away. i never should have panicked. i never should have lost all those years without you... because i've realized that no matter where you are or what you're doing, or who you're with, i will always honestly, truly, completely love you.''

you couldn't believe in your damn bad luck.

you couldn't discover what was more pathetically tragic. the fact that karina would watch the video of her wedding in the future and see her husband confessing his love to someone who wasn't her. or the fact that jeno had chosen his wedding day to acknowledge that he loved you.

karina never kissed him on new year's, their first one was in a cinema. only you did, once in your second year as friends. you two never spoke about it.

karina didn't like romantic comedies, she was a literature major and only liked movies that was focussed on classics. you did. you had made jeno watch "love, rosie" so many times that you both knew the script.

with tears rolling down their cheeks, the two of you stared at each other for what seemed like hours. he loved you too. you both now knew about the other's love. inaudibly while you wiped your tears you both agreed that; maybe in another time, another life, we were meant for a happy ending. but not here, not at this moment.

but it didn't matter, only you two knew how much you loved each other and always would.

ok guys, sorry for making this so long and for any mistakes. let me know if you wanted to me doing scenarios, reactions or timestamps or even let my asks open for requests.

Dating These Stargirl Characters Would Include...

(Multiple Stargirl Characters × Reader)

Requested: No, but this idea was inspired by a similar request by @miszswan. And either way I hope you enjoy @miszswan because you were the one who inspired me to write this long headcanon and do much more of this.

Character(s): Yolanda Montez, Artemis Crock, Courtney Whitmore, Jenny Williams, Cindy Burman, and Beth Chapel.

Warning: Tons of Fluff, Writing on one particular character, and Maybe some angst

Reader Pronoun: All the readers will be female for this one.

A/N: I personally have never posted much on request based on Tumblr. But I hope everyone can enjoy this. I tried to portray the characters to the best I can. And also hope you can stick through my thoughts and rants on some of these. And I wanted to shine a light on some of the less hyped characters too. In honor for the Stargirl S2 trailer I added more characters and theories. AND YES I WILL MAKE A PART 2. Ok maybe or maybe not I will be creating another side account just for Artemis Crock Asks, and imagines. Sorry that some of these are long, or don't go 100% in to detail I just wanted to address every character, I can always do more if someone wants me to later. One last note to this long Author Note, I was determined to finish this so I was up until 12-1am my time writing this...so if some of it is shorter than others it was because of that. And I also just wanted to end it off sooner than later.

Yolanda Montez

You meet Yolanda it probably would be after she becomes Wildcat. But that doesn't mean she's not interested in you, it just was because of everything with Henry she just didn't want to approach you because she thought you would think of her differently.

Again when she becomes Wildcat she would have the courage and confidence to come up and talk to you. But we all know that you would not judge her.

If you were her friend before the incident and stuck with her, she would try to distance herself away from you. Because you know caution but deep down she would start to fall in love with you.

Her family all except her younger brother wouldn't support her. Because we all know them, it would just further ruin their reputation. Because your a girl.

Most likely if your parents were in the ISA it would most likely be the Crock's. Just imagine you being a sports player who has been friends with Henry and you met Yolanda and respected her. And became friends with her when she was dating Henry. And then not agreeing with what he did to her, and trying to help her but for her to push you away. And then later on her opening up to you about the incident and somehow you two start dating, and maybe in this scenario you join the JSA and you two start dating.

Your dates could be at her house in her rooms at times. But most likely at your house because your parents would probably be more accepting then hers. But most of your dates might be watching a movie on your laptop eating junk food. Or you two just sneaking out stargazing on a blanket in the forest of Blue Valley maybe near a river.

If your ever upset or going through something at home, Yolanda Montez would 100% drop everything. Even if she is at church she would come to your house or meet you most likely at Courtney's house or the pit shop to comfort you.

You most likely either hating Henry or just disliking him a bit for what he did to Yolanda. But when you learn of what he did saving her you would forgive him.

Even though she would help you through your tough times your her bridge, rock, anchor because your the only thing keeping her from going into the sinking river of depression. Including after her killing Brainwave.

Being taller than Yolanda and her hugging you from behind, and standing on her toes to kiss your lips. Plus her wearing your shirts as dresses.

You trying on the Wildcat suit, and modeling it for her as she kisses you. But mind your in private and not with anyone but each other. I can just see the moment being ruined by Courtney going up to your window or Yolanda's telling you either one or both of you have a mission.

Which adds to the point of if you were apart of the JSA, and you tried on her suit, she would try on your suit.

She would be protective and ready to attack anyone who hurt you, she would be much like Courtney standing up for you even if you didn't ask her to. Because she understands after going through the same thing with Cindy.

She wouldn't be the type after what happened with Henry to have much PDA, she might hold your hand and put you behind her when she's all protective but she won't kiss you often when you're out in public including at school.

Would recommend this relationship 120/100. Because we all know Yolanda would take care of you. She could also relate to you more, and be able to understand most of the things you are going through because she has experienced the same thing before.

Courtney Whitmore

She meets you when she arrives at Blue Valley. Either if it's from you sitting at the single's table, or you bumping into her being in a higher social class or being a sport's jock all the way to being Cameron Mahkent's friend.

Let's just continue this by saying like many others she would protect you, along with be supporting, listening, and very open to you.

Her telling you she's Stargirl early on into the relationship. (Once again even if your not in the JSA or if you are in the JSA).

She would be worried with the ISA rising in Blue Valley when it comes to your safety like how she was with her mother's safety when Brainwave was threating you. Because out of everyone she cares about, she cares about you the most.

Having a supportive family if your apart of the JSA that supports you and Courtney. Including her parents and Mike.

You would be accepted into the family. As they would invite you to every holiday party, family dinner with the JSA, etc. You just name it and you're invited.

Either way being good friends with Rick, Yolanda, and Beth even if you're apart of the JSA or not.

The cosmic staff would probably be the #1 shipper of you and Courtney because of there bond. If she likes you then I feel the cosmic staff would like you.

Imagine Courtney having to save you from a member of the ISA and like the cosmic staff did for Barbara in episode 12 of S1, just imagine it going underneath you and setting you back up.

Going on rides with Courtney on the cosmic staff.

Definitely the big spoon as she likes to hold you and comfort you, including when your having a hard day. But also it helps her make sure she can protect you if anything was to happen. But sometimes she would be the little spoon because she needs comforting too.

She would defend you, stick up for you if someone was attempting to say anything bad about you, or harassing you physically or just verbally. The same way with how she did for Yolanda when Cindy was pushing her around, she wouldn't let anyone harass you.

I can see Courtney being more open to PDA, maybe not to Cindy Burman extent, but she still wouldn't be afraid to kiss you in public. Or cuddle you in public but she still would do it more in private.

If your upset, Courtney would try her best to make you smile again or just wrap her arms around you in a comforting hug whispering sweet words into your ear.

When you're on your period she would already like Beth Chapel prepare everything. Or if she hasn't prepared everything, or you have nothing...she would just give you whatever you needed from her collection of Period goods.

Making out in her bedroom, either on her bed, or sitting in her bay-window.

Helping her get through summer school.

You being her balance between school and being Stargirl, being the middle ground that she needed. You are the thing that keeps her sane.

Either being the same height as Courtney or being a inch or two shorter than her. Which is perfect when you two are kissing so neither of you have to bend down or go on your tippy toes to kiss.

One last thing to end this off, you will have to sometimes talk sense into your girlfriend. She sometimes wants to do really stupid things for the right reasons. But don't let her flunk in her normal life the Courtney Whitmore life. She needs to be Courtney equally as needing to be Stargirl.

I would personally recommend this relationship 120/100.

Beth Chapel

First of all, I'm pretty sure all of us know Beth Chapel she is such a Honeybee and Small Bean. She would be such a sweetheart to date.

Either meeting her before or after her becoming Dr.Midnite would change some of how she approaches you and how you start dating.

If you met Beth Chapel before, you probably grew up as friends or you just moved there months prior to Courtney Whitmore and she was just the first friendly face you met a Blue Valley.

Most likely her showing you off to her parent's/first meeting during lunch.

Your first date being at a park, or anywhere you would want to go. I can just see the park because you two could have a picnic and she would make the food.

For Pride Month, you two would attend every event Blue Valley or the state of Nebraska.

Even if your parents aren't supportive of you, her parents would be.

If you were apart of the JSA you two being the JSA power couple. Always working together and being partnered up on tasks.

Helping her fix Chuck.

Probably being good friends with Chuck. Maybe getting into a bit of disagreement with Chuck (I know personally as a person I would), but at the end of the day respecting each other.

She would have your back, and you would have her back too.

Heck even if you were apart of the ISA, her bringing the good out of you. Like she might make you change your side and beliefs. Or you know maybe retire. But still she would love you no matter what even if you are just dating.

CUDDLES LIKE TONS OF CUDDLES.

She would be understanding of your problems, like if you had a problem at home with your parents. She would support you and listen to you rant if you need to. Or if you just failed your math test which was 30% of your grade, she would prepare movies, and karaoke tracks to distract you. SHE HAS GOT YOU COVERED.

During your Period (I just hate periods so much), she would have you covered. Prepares chocolate, your favorite comfort foods, rom-coms or any movie/tv show you like to binge, tons of snacks, heating pads, and just everything you can think of for your Period. Heck she would even make you FOOD. LIKE SHE WOULD MAKE YOU FOOD.

Even when your not on your period she would make you lunch for school, like you might not even need to worry she would provide you lunch; even if your on a diet, are a picky eater, vegan, etc. She would find a way to make you food, and do it.

Sleepovers at each others houses every weekend. Well most of every weekend, because she is a JSA member, and maybe you are two so you two try and do it whenever you can during your time off from school and fighting the ISA.

I don't personally know if Beth would do tons of PDA, but imagine Hand Holding, maybe a kiss on the cheek, and hugging would be something she would do in Public.

Both of you being there for each other when you are alone. Like if her parents aren't home she might be at your house, or you would be at hers just doing something with each other or just being around each other. Maybe you reading a book while Beth is doing her homework.

Like the other JSA girls, she would let you steal her clothes maybe even send you home with her clothes even without you knowing. The first time you ever wore one of her tops she would just blush madly but deep down be so happy and giggly.

Her reading to you if you needed it at night.

Her helping you with your hair, she would even ask Chuck about new hairstyles if you wanted to do something new. Once again she would be supportive of you.

1000/10 would recommend this relationship. Because first of all who wouldn't date Beth Chapel? And second, just look at her. She would treat you right by far. She would not only treat you right by supporting you, she would be such the honeybee that is severing it's QUEEN.

Jenny Williams

A/N: I'm going to try my best with Jenny with all that I have seen and read on other people's pages with her. So please don't judge 100% this is my first time writing anything for her. I'm using all my knowledge on her to try and write this to the best of my ability.

For the sake of this one were just going to say your just a student at Blue Valley (not JSA or ISA):

You two meeting early in your life or when you moved to Blue Valley.

First date would be at the diner most likely. Is it bad I can see the cliché Barbara and Pat scene where you two would share a Banana Split because they "only had one left" at 3 in the afternoon.

You being happy if you were dating her before she started not caring what Cindy said. If you started dating her afterwards you would still be proud.

After her not giving a crap about what Cindy was doing for Homecoming, relief washes down her shoulders and you two have fun during homecoming night.

Just imagine if you two were somehow under the spotlight during one of the slow dances. Like the person who controls the spotlight puts it on you two.

Jenny would be loyal and respective of you. She would respect your privacy if you were closed off, along with her being loyal to you and only you.

She would also help you if you needed help on anything. I feel like she would be like Beth in a way. Drop everything to make sure your alright.

Couple costumes, doesn't matter if they're cringe worthy, you two just rocking it. Imagine Twin Day at school you two would nail it.

Her parents being supportive of her relationship with you even if your a girl.

Studying at the library when you two are prepping for a test weather it's for the SAT's or just for a Geometry test you two would be studying. Even holding hands, comparing notes and just giving short gazes into each other's eyes when the other one is not looking.

She wouldn't show too much PDA if you weren't comfortable with it. And even she wouldn't really want to do much PDA, maybe like Beth: Hand-Holding, Hugging, maybe a kiss on the cheek every once and awhile. But she saves kissing, and cuddling for when you two are alone.

You two being the non-superhero/super-villain/non-powered duo at Blue Valley High school. Maybe even being called the power couple in the year book.

I imagine you and her being opposites, but opposites do attract. Maybe your goth and more geeky but not popular, and she is more preppy and popular. But you two make it work.

Supporting each other no matter what.

100/100 would recommend this relationship.

Cindy Burman

You two most likely knowing each other for awhile. Like going to school with each other since you were very little.

Whether your a JSA or ISA daughter or member in the future or just a normal person who like I have said a coach potato who is a writer would change how you catch her eye when you start dating.

If you are just a normal person it could be if your incredibly intelligent or talented at something. Like just imagine beating her at mixing chemicals or with your grade in Chemistry. Or being able to just beat her at something...ok in common words just being better than her at something she tends to think she is better than most at.

Maybe Best friends to Girlfriends Troupe

JSA/Normal Person: When you are dating at first she wouldn't open up all the way with you. But over time when she starts trusting you more and you two start going on more dates she would tell you more about her childhood.

ISA: If you are a child of an ISA member or you just join she would trust you quicker and most likely be partnered with you. She would be able to relate if you had an ISA parent like if your father was Jordan or Henry. Let's just say Jordan in this case: You knew his secret and were apart of the ISA, you would be treated more kindly by your family, but you still have this big expectation to fill. That you must somehow work for. To show that it's not because you Icicle's daughter that you got in the ISA. BIG LEGACY = HUGE debts to prove your loyalty. And she would understand, because everyone wants her to do so much just to be apart of a legacy she was born into...that her father wants her to be apart of.

PDA doesn't occur to Cindy like she doesn't mind making out with you in the hallways. Because to Cindy she just likes showing you off, showing everyone that you are hers and she is yours.

Her picking you out clothes to wear, or heck even going shopping with you. Maybe even just coming over to your house with bags of clothes just for you.

Her not even caring about Henry after not needing him anymore, we can say even after he is dead she doesn't care. She has you 100%. Which means 150% more protectiveness. Including from the JSA.

She would allow you to play with her hair after dating for a period of time as you would most likely braid it or just play with it when she is busy focusing on something else. And she would appreciate it even if she doesn't fully verbalize it.

Sitting in her bedroom the night of homecoming maybe her reading something on her phone or in a magazine while your on your phone or just sleeping in her lap.

Her showing you off at any party she throws before S2.

Maybe during Halloween when she threw her big Halloween Party she picks you out a very sexy tight fitting Halloween costume for the party. Along with her showing you off.

Season 2 Trailer:

She would watch over you when she is claimed "dead" by the JSA if your a member. Just waiting for the moment to come back and retrieve you from your team.

If you were apart of the ISA maybe you have "quit" and claim that she is so called "dead". But secretly working with her.

Only having each other which is enough for both of you in the end.

98/100 would recommend this relationship.

Artemis Crock

Let me just start off with saying, you will have a new family once you start Dating Artemis.

Because we all know her parents are very protective and encouraging of there daughters behavior. And besides since you know Artemis they already know about you. Now your just apart of there family.

With Artemis it doesn't matter if your physically fit, or just a coach potato who writes all day. She will never care even if she does multiple workouts a day and is on a diet she would be supportive of you. But if you were Physically fit it would just be another thing about you. Including when it comes to you meeting her parents.

Most likely you would meet Artemis or really catch her eye at first if you gained interest in sports. Or have played sports if your new to Blue Valley. But if you're a sports player and have played for Blue Valley than you have crossed paths.

But let's be serious not everyone is sports jocks in high school for us other people, most likely you caught her eye in one of you're shared classes, even if you were doodling all the way to knowing every answer on the board when the teacher asks for the answer. If she's interested in you she's INTERESTED IN YOU.

Always wearing her JERSEYS.

Or Hoodies. Plus her giving you her clothes and you giving her some of yours if the two of you fit into each other's.

Going to her practices after school if your not apart of any clubs during the time or just not in general.

Maybe after some practices you two are making out underneath the bleachers. This could happen after she becomes Tigress because she wouldn't care as much because who is going to stop her? Nobody!

Study Dates = Make out sessions even if it's at the library, at her house, or yours you two would somehow end up making out rather than getting tons of studying done.

She would be showing you off whenever she could. At Lunch, After a game she won (INCLUDING WHEN SHE WINS), just anything she is proud of.

Ok, just saying once again if anyone hurts you...including your family they can just "disappear" and you would have the Crocks. Your girlfriend and her parents. Which to them is all you ever truly need.

Going to all her games dressed up in team spirit. Just think of people who attend Soccer games or Hockey with the face paint on the cheeks and maybe even wearing one of her coats.

After winning any game she runs up to you and just kisses you not even caring that everyone is watching. Most likely when in public it just is a quick kiss but still filled with her adrenaline mixed with adoration and happiness.

Hanging out in her room on the weekends when you two don't have plans to go anywhere just sitting on her bed. Artemis would insist to have you sit in her lap.

I kind of get vibes with the whole sitting on her lap that she would braid your hair (even if it was long or short) or even just overall play with it.

Even when she's not playing with her hair I see you sitting on her lap just naturally or she would pull you into cuddle on her lap and she would wrap her arms around your waist.

Once she becomes Tigress after learning who her parents are she will be a lot more open to her possessiveness and protectiveness to the world. Like 110% more. She will also be able to hurt anyone who harms you or even tries to take you away from her, and be more reckless in her actions in doing so. Just imagine the person that flirted with you in chemistry class...well you would never see them again, because they are like most of Blue Valley's coaches that "left"...they are dead and buried by those dead coaches.

You two would probably go to some sort of store like a Walmart or a Target late at night and just spoil yourselves with Junk Food. Not even caring about the consequences.

Just imagine if your a daughter of an ISA member and follow there legacy. You two would be partners, no no...power couple. JUST LIKE HER PARENTS.

If your not apart of the ISA and are in fact a JSA daughter of a deceased member or just joined when Courtney was recruiting, you two flirting around when fighting. Kind of think of the scene in Civil War when Natasha and Clint were fighting would be how you two would fight each other. Because you know you wouldn't hurt her and she would not hurt you intentionally. Unless she didn't know it was you, but most likely Artemis would know because of your fighting style.

On the note of if you were the daughter of a JSA member I can see you being Black Canary's daughter.

Ok maybe she would give you a few bruises but nothing serious. Again she is very protective of you.

Addressing Periods, she would coach you through your period. More cuddles, sweets, Walmart raids, anything you ask for she would achieve. But I could just see you two cuddling on her bed and falling asleep and when her parents wonder why she's late to her work out you two are just napping on her bed.

500/100 would recommend this relationship. Because not only would you have another family with this support system. You will also have a very protective girlfriend who loves you and will encourage and push you to do whatever you want in life.

[adorable-elsanna]

I don't mean to be rude, and I apologize in advance if I am!! But why do you ship this nd WHY does this ship exist? Aren't Elsa and Anna sisters? And blood related at that. I don't want to hate on ships, you can ship washer you want as long as you aren't hurting anybody!! It's just that ships like these with incest startle me a bit. Maybe I'm just confused since I really shipped Kistof and Anna so I'm missing out on this? Ahhh sorry if this is annoying!! -confused anon

 Hi Confused Anon ( aren’t we all? ;) ),

Thanks for your polite ask, lol finally I get to dust off this blog’s ask box! :)) I’d love to respond with a whole essay xDD but I don’t really have time :’( so maybe I’ll just give a quick rundown for now. 

I might not be the most representative person to pose this question to lol because I am an outlier in general, meaning due to my life experiences, my development, my major in college, my deep meditation practice, and more, I do not abide by normative, dominant, hegemonic social structures and social constructs (nor do I actively resist them per se), so I am unfazed by anything. 

I started shipping this after I watched the first movie when it came out in Nov. 2013. One of my first posts on this blog, 7 years ago, was me explaining how I came to ship this (I had made the post private, but now you can read it here. Also this other post, but I wrote it when I was a college student, so it’s a little too analytical for my tastes now. Those were my views at the time). 7 years is a long time, so my mindsets and reasonings have changed, but all the reasons I had for shipping them from before are still with me today. 

I didn’t go into the movie with the intention to ship them, but while watching it, I picked up on a lot of chemistry between them because their interactions and even storyline were infused with strong popular romantic tropes, tropes that were used in other classic Disney movies themselves. I used to watch a lot of romantic comedies so I was very familiar with common romantic tropes. Of course, having came away from the movie having noticed all these romantic notes between them, I was a little confused and thought maybe it was just me. But when I went online to search a bit to see if others saw/felt what I saw, I found out it wasn’t just me! 

So one of the reasons why this ship exists is because people picked up on the romantic tropes that colored some of Elsa and Anna’s interactions, tropes that have usually only appeared between romantic couples, in films and in real life. Even if the creators didn’t intend to and didn’t actively put the tropes there, they are there. 

If we apply the principles of Buddhism (not the religion. Many ppl mistakenly practice things as devotional worship or for superstitious reasons. But if ppl really want to know everything about the mind, how the world works, the universe, who they are, about themselves and “other” people and why people do what they do, the meaning of life, true happiness, the end of suffering and stress and conflict, and consciousness, then forget psychology [not saying it’s not useful though]. Buddhism, or rather Buddhadharma, is the true science of mind, or at least the much more effective tool), it says that there is the law of cause and effect, the universal law. Everything that is created in the universe and each phenomenon that happens is the result of the momentary coming together of causes and conditions that make that thing happen. There are many many causes and conditions and intricacies and things are interconnected and interdependent, no one person can control something to happen (certain conditions have to be there for something to happen). Something can not come from nothing. If something happens, then certain causes and conditions have been created to bring that result. A seed was planted. If we plant an apple seed, what comes out will be an apple tree (provided the right conditions were met, like water, soil, sunlight, etc.). It will never come out as a banana tree. And so we can understand the underlying principle behind how each situation and phenomenon arises, about existence itself, why each thing exists. 

Now WHY did I go off on that tangent??? LOL All of this is to say that certain causes and conditions have been created to result in the effect of many people shipping Elsa and Anna together and there being a fandom for them. (These principles and explanations might seem very simple and like kindergarten stuff, but despite that, many people can’t accept it. ESPECIALLY when it applies to heavy stuff in their regular everyday life. Or even trivial things tbh lol) The last I checked, there were people from at least 26 different countries shipping Elsa and Anna together. 

Everyone thinks they see reality exactly as it is and takes it for granted, and thus attach strongly to the notion that they’re right. But if that’s the case, then why are there so many fights over who is right? So who is actually right? Even if someone were to follow the majority consensus or some popular, ingrained, long-standing ideas / societal rules, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right. There are many cases of the blind leading the blind. People used to follow the geocentric model of the universe before they discovered heliocentrism. Ideas are always in flux and keeps changing and transforming, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, sometimes imperceptibly and sometimes conspicuously. If you ask 100 different people why they ship Elsa and Anna, you will get 100 different answers (with a lot of overlap of course) with unique spins on their reasons. Because in the world, each person sees reality through their own color-tinted glasses and filters and adherence to labels, concepts, beliefs, upbringing, etc. And then the person seeing “reality” through red-tinted glasses gets mad at the person seeing with blue-tinted glasses for not seeing the world how they see it (and gets frustrated not understanding why), and vice versa. In this scenario, what is actually best? To realize you’re seeing “reality” through color-tinted glasses, and so you should take them off and truly see reality without any filtered lenses. (This is a little off-topic, but I had to bring some Buddhism into this because first of all, dharma applies to everything lol, and secondly, Buddhism is all about dispelling confusion. There is definitely a way to see reality exactly as it is, it typically involves meditation.) 

Yes, Elsa and Anna are sisters. But I’ve never seen any pair of sisters act like them before (if there are, then that’s great!). I have a sibling myself, and we are very close, but we don’t act like how Elsa and Anna act with each other. With most siblings, I would say there’s a lot more joking around, teasing each other, sarcasm, pranks, and casual relaxed communication than the intense intimacy, deep eye-contact, and soul-bonding that Elsa and Anna share. Disney has portrayed many other sibling relationships before, but it seems like they tried something a little different with Elsa and Anna’s relationship that made it pretty easy for many people to ship them together. 

I ship Elsa and Anna together because their pure true love for each other transcends all labels, concepts, preconceived notions, and time and space. They are completely selfless when it comes to one another and that’s what true love means. They make each other better people and it empowers them to extend this selflessness toward other people. Their sacrificing themselves for each other and selflessness in action is true love exemplified. No one deserves Elsa more than Anna, and no one deserves Anna more than Elsa (speaking from my shipper heart xD). Confining and defining their love as just sisterly seems limiting and not allowing the full potential of their true, expansive, infinite love to manifest. (A sibling relationship is really beautiful, but it still has to be shaped and look a certain way, it has to fit into a particular mold and box and abide by certain conditions. Otherwise, as we have incontrovertibly seen, people will scream bloody murder and be squicked out and all hell will break loose.)  

We can even go one step further to say that the same similarly applies to people’s definitions, notions, concepts, ideas, and beliefs about love. They say this love is like this and that love is like that, this is what love should look like, this person can love this person but only if it’s like this and not like that, this is what it means to love and to be loved, etc. Again, it’s limiting, and placing restrictions on something whose essence is boundless. In Buddhism, with the realization of Enlightenment, one realizes that true love is selfless, unconditional, boundless, free, all-encompassing, nondual, timeless, compassionate, wise, nondiscriminating, infinite, universal, endlessly flowing, non-judgmental, creative, indescribable, and inconceivable. So THIS is the love that I see and ship between Elsa and Anna. I love their relationship as sisters, but their love is so grand that it cannot be contained inside that label, so it transcends and goes beyond any attempts to neatly define and characterize it.

It’s okay if incest ships startle you. Uncomfortable feelings come up whenever the ego experiences anything that challenges its worldview and everything it’s ever known and held to be true, and that prompts it to question and reconsider its mind-constructs. We have a knee-jerk reaction to grasp, hold, and attach to what we like, and to avoid, reject, and push away what we don’t like and what makes us feel uncomfortable. For what it’s worth, Buddhism tells about the cycle of life, death, and rebirth from beginningless time, so we have all lived infinite past lives and been each other’s lovers, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, enemies, grandparents, etc. at one point or another. (Deep, but intriguing!, topics for another time.)  

If you really like to ship Krist0ff and Anna, then go ahead and ship happily. First rule of Buddhist meditation: Whatever you do, ONLY DO IT, 100%. ;) And if you don’t do something, then don’t do it, 100%. And then move on to the next moment. Be in the present moment. And remember that everything is changing moment by moment. Mind is changing moment by moment. Don’t need to anticipate the next moment. Who knows where our shipper hearts will take us. 

I like to ship people based on their chemistry and characterization. Elsa and Anna have a great true love story that is theirs and theirs alone. I don’t like to ship relationships that seem contrived, thrown in there for the sake of it, not fleshed out, lacking in substance, trite, and with characters who are underwhelming or underdeveloped. 

Lol no worries, this is not annoying, I’m sorry this is so long and that I took 7 days to get back to you. I wish I could give specific examples from the movies with beautiful gifs to explain why I ship them (I’ve probably written such posts in the past. Maybe I’ll come back to edit this reply one day), but I’ve gotta skedaddle! I’d like to hear your thoughts about my reply if you actually read this, so please send me a message in the ask box again if you can. 

Also I’m a girl if that makes any difference, but yeah anyway, skedaddle time, love you all! 

Oooooh I never finished replying to someone else’s ask box message asking me why I shipped them, it’s from years ago :’(, I started typing my reasons and saved it in my drafts, but it’s incomplete. But here’s what I wrote at the time!

1. I just love everything that Elsa and Anna feel and do for each other. Elsa isolates herself from Anna to keep her safe, and Anna persists in trying to get Elsa to open up to her and goes to find her when she runs away. They’re always thinking of each other and worrying about each other. They act selflessly for one another and their unconditional love is expressed so genuinely. This kind of devotion in any relationship is rare.

2. There was a lot of chemistry between them in the movie. At the coronation ball scene, I get that the creators were trying to depict awkwardness between them since they haven’t spoken in a long time, and Anna wanted reassurance that Elsa didn’t hate her so she was nervous about getting Elsa’s attention and approval, but the scene came off as Elsa being kind of suave and flirty and Anna being flustered because her crush just complimented her. Then Anna gave Elsa a playful smile when she was dipped upside-down as if she only had eyes for Elsa.

When Anna stares admiringly at Elsa as she stands atop the staircase, it was like a scene straight out of A Cinderella Story or Enchanted where the prince stares at his true love like she took his breath away.

[itsclydebitches]

I've never seen 13 reasons why. It's probably a terrible show. I don't like that they took out the suicide scene though. In general I don't like it when shows or movies remove things much later. Have 2 versions or something, but keep the original intact. Sometimes art can trigger bad memories or worse, but man put a warning and let the viewer decide what they can handle. I hate how certain subjects are being censored. What are your thoughts on this?

I’ll be honest, anon, I think 13 Reasons Why is a particularly horrible story that’s too dangerous to take lightly. That show is an excellent example of—for me—the difference between tackling sensitive subjects and tackling them in a highly inappropriate manner; the difference between “Of course you can create any story about suicide you want” and “You should be thinking about the messages you’re sending and the impact they have.” 13 Reasons Why romanticizes suicide, self-harm, and a host of other sensitive topics in a way that’s actively damaging to many of those who watch it. 

The thing is, editing is not the same thing as censorship. Eliminating one scene—notably in a country where that scene already aired for a long stretch and could still easily be found–is not the same thing as denying the public the right to watch 13 Reasons Why (or that scene) at all. It’s a very well known novel that became an even better known TV show that’s now been watched and talked about a great deal. That right there is the impact: the fact that this show was out there, uncensored, telling vulnerable teens, “Yeah, if you kill yourself then they’ll really be sorry.” The entire story is based on the assumption that suicide is a good revenge plan and that you (illogically) will get to reap the joys of watching everyone suffer after the fact (which in turn gets into the emotional abuse of the story, which we don’t have time to dive into). The problem with a scenario like this is that a trigger warning isn’t enough. It just tells you what the content is, not how the content is treated. The issue isn’t that there’s suicide in this show—plenty of fantastic pieces of media grapple with the subject—it’s that it actively teaches viewers that there are no options but suicide, suicide is rewarding, suicide is a reasonable response to these difficulties, here’s essentially a how-to guide on how to commit suicide yourself. 

This isn’t a case of an author writing something and someone else unexpectedly taking it the wrong way, interacting with the text in a manner that couldn’t be predicted and thus generates no real responsibility on the author’s part. We are well aware of what romanticizing suicide does to those grappling with it and thus yes, we have a responsibility to not compound that. It comes down to two very basic arguments in my book. 

Author: I have the right to write whatever I want. 

Me: You do, but we know that writing some things in some ways has devastating, real life consequences. So how about we avoid those formulas. By all means write about the topic, just not in this particular manner. 

Author: But I can write whatever I want so I’m going to. 

Me: Cool. So you care more about enforcing your right to artistic freedom than you do actual human lives. Got it. 

So yeah, I personally have no problem taking out the suicide scene. That level of graphic sensationalism simply isn’t necessary. The story is still there, but it’s now actively hurting people a little less.  “I technically can” is not the same thing as “I should” and we should recognize that giving up a few minuscule creative opportunities really isn’t much of a sacrifice when the positive impact of abandoning those is so great. If someone tells me, “Please don’t write about this thing in this specific way because there’s a good chance it will result in real deaths”… then I’m not gonna write that. Hands down. It’s not an infringement on my rights to take other people’s well being into account, to the best of my ability. For me personally, that level of impact (and the level is important here) trumps a knee-jerk “But it’s my right” reaction. Writing about suicide in this specific way is not more important, to my mind, then the actual people we may lose by putting that out into the world.

THIS AIN'T LEGAL

Have you ever heard of absolute immunity? Federal officers who violate the Civil Rights of American citizens in an attempt to do harm with recorded video evidence of the violation in action or officers who willingly falsify a police report of a violent attack in order to frame the victim while the antagonist sits before a judge and jury perjuring herself with alligator tears before an all white jury with her blonde locks, and blue eyes, damn devil, and goes free while an innocent child spends 17 months behind bars. To say that Amerikkka is unjust is an understatement. Too many times Black people are dragged into a court that's already biased, having to face a judge, and jury who may have a vested financial interest in the private prison industry, but let's be real. The school to prison pipeline is not a myth, it's a bloody bruise on the face of Lady Liberty. Liberty, and justice for all never applied to the indigenous people of Amerikkka or any of the ADOS, and FBA citizens whose roots are entrenched in the Earth bleeding from a wound the wicked do not want to heal. The above mentioned scenarios actually happened to one of your own Amerikkka, and a child from the Middle East. It's funny that Amerikkkans appear to want peace seemingly always, but you're forever raising hell outside of your jurisdiction? Joe Biden is deporting Haitian refugees out of the country ASAP, while transporting inland, and giving amnesty to Afghan refugees, and South Americans even so far as to offer them free secondary education, and housing. The culture of Amerikkka is against a Black man ever rising up to experience the American Dream in a Taliban like Aristocracy or Totalitarian society that started centuries before Biden became president. He's not the answer to our problems nor is he the root of the issue. Amerikkka is a canker sore, and a blight that impedes the progression of a once dominant, but humble people. No one needs to preach of racial superiority and use terror tactics in order to justify a calloused approach to validate this viral disease that affects everyone with a modicum of common sense, decency, and compassion. Amerikkka was a Nation before Amerigo Vespucci set foot on these shores. Alkebulan was inhabited by some of the most brilliant minds, and still is before Scipio Africanus named the dark continent after himself, an albino. Ohhh the irony, and moral hypocrisy. Timbuktu, and the city of Alexandria were well established kingdoms in Alkebulan where Greek, and Roman scholars went to gather much needed knowledge because they were dumb as hell. Egypt is a mystery that none can determine for now. When the prophecy is fulfilled by the Father whom the Prophet Joel spoke thereof He would pour His Spirit down upon all flesh, the truth will set you and I free. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. What's impeding us from this prophetic word? Keep your thoughts to yourself. That's a luxury I haven't had since the age of stupid. Not wanting to call you out on the sins of your fathers, but you are just like him. I hope, and pray the Father fulfills His will in time before our hearts wax cold, too late. Amerikkka’s public enemy will not be our Black sons or daughters that are trying to follow the rules of man whose lawlessness has revealed itself to be an entire race of people. You create the laws, and break them leaving everyone with a bad taste in their mouth except those who profit from our pain. Chris Rock said this years ago. “The white man is the only one who profits from everyone's pain, especially a Black man’s.” you see how they treat us, and you have no inclination of what your future will hold for your people in the aftermath of the Zombie Apocalypse. I hate this form of pop culture rhetoric. There will be souls inhabiting these bodies that were once dead, and decomposing. God will deliver the dead from the sea, and He will deliver the dead from death, and hell.

Isaiah 26:17-21

17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.

18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain..

When our Lord Christ Jesus does this work how do you think those who've hated, and betrayed us for a season of sin will react in the oncoming horror set before mankind? God has placed us on the Earth for a purpose, not to suffer. I can't put the blame on Joe Biden or those who came before him for what this nation or planet has done, and is doing to us; psych!!! The God of our fathers will judge you according to your works which has wrought death and destruction. The wrath, and judgment Joe Biden, trump, and their people will incur, and experience is worse than any Stephen King novel or Jordan Peele, and M. Night Shyamalan movies can induce in your alleged, fragile psyche. I've told Jacob, and warned the gentiles of God's incoming judgment, but no ones willing to heed the words of an idiot savant. I'm guilty of many things by way of my woeful condition. I'm compelled to elaborate these truths to you as they become relevant at a particular hour. Watch out for your young children who may be a pain, but they're innocent, and they're yours. The world sees us as prey, a potential payoff for an organ harvest, and fodder for the wickedly unjust. This woman that they have been searching for these last 5 or so days in a National Park has this Nation all a buzz. Who is she? Do you know how many women of Jacob go missing everyday without any press from the media? We can blame them, but are they at fault? Hell yeah!!! Continue to read. Our people have been limited by those who control the information, the social media platforms, infighting within our own tried Black media organizations that have blessed us over the years who are left open to attack by oppressive censorship that purposely restricts what they can, and cannot reveal to the Black masses. I was amazed to find out in 2017 that Coretta Scott King, and her family successfully sued the US government over the assassination of MLK Jr.; that was in 1999. The Atlanta Black Star might have covered the litigation process, but I didn't hear a peep from anyone I knew or even hear about it on any news media platform, especially from the major media news networks. That's how they've Silenced the Lamb with threats, and bullying tactics. We've come too far to go back to Egypt. The only time I wanna hear mention of going to Egypt is if my Church takes a sabbatical to the Motherland, and my Apostle takes the trip with us to seek the truths that have been denied us. Reference Joel 2:28. Those who stay committed to this ministry will see beyond the veil. If you placed all of your faith in me or Apostle Johnson you have overlooked the reasons God led you to this Church, Elders, Evangelists, Prophetesses, Deacons, Ministers, and the entire Church family. He nor I can do anything without the will of the Father, and I’m stuck on dufus. Get yo tail back to Church ASAP!!! We place our faith in men who have let us down many times. Apostle has done much for me, but Jesus has done everything. God will do a good work in all of us. I want every man, woman, and child in this ministry to reap what they have sown; don't leave. When the sky turns black, and the heavens roll back, peeling back the clouds, that's when you will see or hear the Son of God coming for His faithful. Apostle has taught us of the temporal mental mindset many times. Evidently it’s true as many of us have forgotten his teachings. My mind went off on a tangent, excuse me, where was I ? BET is owned by Jews, who used to own us. They run the entertainment industry that Buck breaks our men, and you wouldn't believe what they do to black women, and children who are all looking for a way to display their talents in order to get wealth, and their name up in lights. Leroy has the talent, all Mr. Epstein can offer you is a bogus contract that rips you off in the end leaving you po, broke, and lonely with a busted a-hole. Those who beat the system at their own game wind up 6 feet deep. Why do you think they murdered Michael Jackson, Prince, Sam Cooke, and James Brown? Michael owned half of SONY BMI. Prince owned all of his Masters that his

siblings sold for pennies on the dollar. Sam was going to start his own label, and brother James who had a label, but the IRS falsely audited him several times forcing him to sell his label keeping Soul Brother number 1 from becoming the first billionaire recording artist decades before JZ did. THIS AINT LEGAL. All that glitters isn't gold people. Ask Mr. Goldberg who runs several porn studios in Silicone Valley California. They run the majority of that particular industry as well as recording, movie and TV production studios while controlling the financial institutions. The majority heads of the Department of the Treasury including the current, Janet Yellen have been Jewish. Not trying to be a dissenter, but someone’s getting screwed. It's the middle class, and our fat, Black… ? William Randolph Hearst made the movie Reefer Madness which was a propaganda film not because hemp was a gateway drug to other crap, hell a pack of cigarettes has killed more people than ten thousand blunts. Smoke a blunt, and 30 minutes later you wanna eat. Smoke crack, and 30 minutes later you're sucking d**k. Hemp can be used in a vast amount of ways that would’ve crippled Mr. Hearst’s other industries. You can use it as fabric for clothes that's stronger, and more durable than cotton. The hemp plant had more useful potential than the soybean, and peanut combined!!! Marijuana isn't a drug at all, it's an herb. The Egyptians used it to cure many ailments including cancer. If I were still on Instagram Mark Suckerberg would personally shut my page down himself… again. That's why I no longer use white run social media websites. Mr. Hearst's only interest in getting the government to make hemp illegal was to keep his financial, investment interests ever increasing. In the end it turned out to do more harm than good. Now that the government has managed to tax the herb, they've made it legal. Why in the hell are Black men, and women still serving draconian, archaic prison sentences for minor marijuana drug offenses that don't make sense to a mongoloid retard?!! Like I said: “THIS AINT LEGAL.” Babylon the Damned will fall on its pancaked derriere soon enough. Pray to God the Zombie Apocalypse runs right past your abode or get some pads from your son's football uniform in order to appease the dead in Christ who may want a ham sandwich or your daughter Becky. This too shall pass. Try lamb's blood? The closer I get to death or that visitation with someone I've been wanting to see for a long time because I can't see, the more these things come back to my remembrance. This is enough for today. Whatever God reveals to me in the next few days hopefully I’ll relate some of that information to you. I thank those for judging me as a simp, punk b**ch, p**sy a** n**gah, punk a** n**gah, sorry a** n**gah, faggot, and everything you project or judge according to your flesh. I have no secrets so what am I trying to hide? Get your house in order Jeff, your life may be required of you, and ya boy in the wheelchair. Still someone else's identity Yippie Yai Kai Yay mother!@#$%& 9/21/2021

It never came across to me like that though. I always felt like it was a blubt way of the creator putting out a message of equality, but they were an ally and didnt kbow how to do it organically. Allies, as wonderful as some can be, aren't ever that good with spreading the message because they write stories that aren't their own. They don't know how to write that particular struggle. (Cis)Men writing with feminist ideals often make mistakes like that because they don't suffer sexism. They wouldnt know how an actual scenario like that would play out.

But also I have been in situations like that as a queer, AFAB individual where my instinct IS to ask "is it because-" and have to watch the person flounder for a response. Usually the case is that they try to cover up their homophobic/transphobic/sexist remark or they argue with me. Because deep down they did feel that way either subconsciously and had to reevaluate themselves when I called them out, or consciously and were mad that I called them out instead of backing down and listening to them like they thought I should.

I personally don't hate the trope because I do feel as though there is good behind it, but I do agree that it is a forced dialogue. When I hear it, it feels clunky and out of place. And the fact that it is used so often has made it lose its power. I would honestly like it if they would vary the presentation of the sentiment rather than copy paste a single phrase.

Some of my favorite instances of the sentinent being changed up include (forgive me if the quotes are not perfect, its been a while since i watched some of these):

"No man can kill me" "I am no man!" LOTR

The part in Avatar the Last Airbender when the waterbending master refused to teach Katara offensive water bending because she was a girl, and then had to fight him to not only havr him keep Aang on as a student, but to prove to him her equal worth.

Angelika's whole character in the Brothers Grimm movie (they immediately didnt think she could be the animal tracker and was looking for her husband or father. You se her skin an animal two minutes later. They sorta back off after that.)

Basically what I'm saying is that I never gotten the vibe that they were portraying women as paranoid by using this trope. So I'll disagree with y'all there. But I do agree that it's a clunky line of dialogue and it could be shown better.

But do I want that sentiment to stop being put in media? Absolutely not. Kids watch these things at some point in their lives and they need to grow up knowing that there are indeed people who will think less of you if you aren't cishet white and/or male. BUT they need to see that it is a wrong way of thinking and that a TRUE HERO will not think less of you because of it. They will not assume that you are inherently inable to do certain things because of any of those traits. They will know you are a human being. To me, that's what this trope is representing.

HOWEVER

Your opinions are all valid and I can DEFINITELY SEE WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. To those who are prejudice, are "nice guys" who believe feminist theory but dont practice it, to "allies" who are okay with queerness as long as it isnt noticable to them and "in their face"

This trope can fuel their attitudes. This trope can cause people who already think that way have an excuse to call women and queers paranoid. This trope can act as an example of "Not All Men" and assert that women and queers are the problem. This can definitely be a side effect.

Basically, yeah you right, but I do believe it can be used for good if written right and by people who do understand the struggle of the minority they are describing.

One of my least favourite dialogue tropes is when a man tells a woman, “You can’t do that” or “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” and she says, “Why? Because I’m a woman and therefore too weak to handle this/can’t take care of myself?” or something to that effect and the guy replies with, “No, because everyone who tried that ended up with a bullet in their brain” or something equally reasonable and not gender-specific that paints him as the rational not sexist guy and the woman as an irrational paranoid feminist who searches for sexism in everything. This whole scenario is built on the idea that sexism is over and women’s fears and suspicions don’t have a leg to stand on. It’s also self-congratulatory pseudofeminism bc it’s supposed to make the viewer/reader/listener feel that in this specific work of fiction women are treated respectfully and as equal with men.

I wanted to get into black-ish but from the clips I seen on tumblr it seems very preachy and shoves politics down our throats I hate it wh3n a show gets preachy and political because the writers are obviously using the show as their political mouth piece. Don't be Brian griffin don't be family guy

I haven’t seen Black-ish, so I can’t tell you either way for sure how it handles things, but I will say from what I know it’s a comedy show specifically about dealing with the issues (small or large) that come with being a person of colour, or a POC family in the States.

And if I’m reading you right, I’d say we’re not debating how important those issues are, just how they’ve approached/executed in a show. I just kinda wanted to make that clear, because obviously these issues matter a lot to people for good reasons, and I’m guessing you’re not dismissing them.

Anyway, it’s tough to say how I feel in general about politics or important issues being addressed in shows because it’s legitimately really difficult to get it right. 

I was watching Loose Canon: 9/11 (Parts 1&2) last night when I couldn’t sleep—and just to explain, Loose Canon is a Youtube series by Lindsay (previously known as the Nostalgia Chick on Channel Awesome) that goes over all or at least a great number of the depictions of a character, person, or event over the years, in this case 9/11—and with 9/11 being so far beyond comprehension, there’s a lot of different movies, music, and T.V. shows that tried to make sense of it.

And, obviously 9/11 impacted Western media in a big way, how could it not? But not… well. At least typically. Because, for one, it’s hard to even know where to begin with processing something that important and tragic.

But that’s also why I have trouble saying you should keep politics or important events completely out of your show that might not even normally have something to do with it. Not all shows really need it, of course, but I’m also not necessarily opposed to it showing up. 

If it’s important, shouldn’t we try to address? Shouldn’t we let people work through it and hopefully get some catharsis ourselves? Or even, if done right, find hope and guidance in what they have to say (and, hey, that message could be as simple as it’s okay to laugh after 9/11 if you need to)?

It’s EXTREMELY difficult to do well without inserting bias or coming off as preachy, but still.

And obviously we’re talking about two totally different subjects, but in a way, that’s why I understand about including politics in a show, or even a Golden Globes speech.

Because, like it or not, this American election wasn’t divisive because people believed so much in the candidates—in fact, it was the opposite; the majority of people seemed to be in agreement that the choice was for “the lesser of two evils.” The reason this election had everyone at each other’s throats was because it was About something. More than usual.

What that something was changed depending on the information you had or believed (which only made the conflict worse), and your stance, but, for instance, for a number of people you weren’t voting for a candidate so much as a face that represented the protection of your rights, or truth in the media, or any number of issues that the other side was directly opposing—violently opposing, in ways that scared, hurt, angered, and humiliated you. In ways that might’ve even made you feel unsafe.

Both sides felt that way, and for conflicting reasons.

Which is why I understand why politics, from either side, are such a big deal right now for American media. It’s hard not to want to deal with it—after all the emotions leading up to, during, and after the election, and now still carrying forward into the new presidency, the American people are still processing everything that happened (and by the way I want to make it clear again that I’m not comparing the election to 9/11, I just meant there’s a lot of complex emotions on a massive scale involved with both), and it seems like most people are worried about what’s going to happen going forward, no matter what side they’re on.

And one of the groups who feel vulnerable in particular are people of colour, so while Blackish is a comedy show, it’s also a legitimately good place to voice that fear and vulnerability and, well, a lot of emotions. It might deal with funny or quirky scenarios typically, but, I mean, it is a show starring and sometimes about POC. It has, by the way, dealt with serious issues before, so this isn’t out of the blue, either.

I can totally understand not wanting to watch things that come off preachy. I mean, yeah, no one really likes when things get too preachy and opinionated. And yes, Brian from Family Guy is a bit notorious for being Seth McFarlane’s own personal platform to voice his own opinions—which, to viewers, might even come off as an agenda, because it’s a popular show showing you what it thinks is right and wrong.

Which is another thing that’s hard not to do.

So, I’m conflicted on how I feel about inserting your own politics into your media. People feel the need to talk about it, they should, it’s big. But where and how is the extremely difficult part. If we never addressed it, it would be ignoring it, or not letting different groups have a voice. But of course that necessarily means introducing a bias into the kinds of messages in our media, and that gets tricky and preachy, too.

You could always give it a shot and see if it’s too preachy for your tastes (there’s no shame if it is for you personally, and again, I’ve only seen clips on Tumblr), but yeah. The times they are a changin’.
