🏳️‍⚧️ Hold Me Tight (Or Don’t) by @hellolovers13

Falling in love with Louis is easy enough.

Separating Louis from the singer persona Harry has been a fan of for years, however, is not.

But she's not the only one making assumptions.

🏳️‍🌈 The Magnificent Ms. Malik: A Brand New Era Starts Here by @fifthnormani

In 2013, 1D records the Best Song Ever music video and Zayn feels different after he puts on his Veronica outfit. He doesn't know what to do with these feelings or what they mean; luckily Niall is there to help and gives Zayn a new word that opens up a world of previously unimagined possibilities.

Ten years later, in 2023, she calls Niall up again to tell him her new name.

🏳️‍⚧️ Ask Him by @fxckingprincesspark

When Lewis Capaldi gets pressed for information on who he's dating, he admits it... he's been seeing Niall Horan. The only problem? He jokes so much that no one believes him.

🏳️‍🌈 Inner Crisis by @neondiamond

Louis calls an LGBTQ+ crisis hotline after coming out as asexual to his friends and family doesn’t quite go as well as he’d hoped. Harry answers his call.

🏳️‍⚧️ you made my heart stop by @itsnothesameasitwas

Don’t you ever feel like your life has been perfectly composed until one day it wasn’t, that everything seemed more than fine but it was not, because sometimes as simple as it might sound or look, it could change your life?

OR a Heartstopper AU, but in HarryandLouis Universe.

🏳️‍🌈 somewhere in between and not at all by @greeneyesfriedrice with art by @alphalouis

He’s always known that he’s some sort of queer. There’s no doubt about it. When he was younger, he loved the feeling of his sister’s pantyhose on his legs, and loved to play dress up whenever he could. But it never went any further than that, and as he got older, he hid that part from himself. There were more homophobes than not in his school, and he couldn’t risk anything getting out.

While he was hoping that he would become more involved in the gay scene, he wasn’t expecting it to happen so immediately. He’s barely been in NYC for two days, and he’s now surrounded by all different types of men and…others? God, he isn’t even sure what to call them. He really doesn’t know much.

(or, Harry is new to NYC and discovers something about himself, and Louis is there for him. Always.)

🏳️‍⚧️ Paint A Rainbow Inside My Heart by @cyantific

A story about hiding in plain sight and the journey to revealing your truth, told in six acts.

Or, the five times Harry queer coded with actions, behaviors or clothing and the one time he was too proud to hide anymore.

A 5+1 fic.

It's a broken world, Michonne. And you're the only thing that puts it back together. Til my last breath I am yours.

Guess who may or may not have watched Alien Stage and is questioning their life now.

Katniss in her Pre-Peeta Era: " Being out in the woods with Gale . . . sometimes I was actually happy. " Also Katniss (in the cave with Peeta):

" 'And right when your song ended, I knew— just like your mother — I was a goner,' Peeta says. 'Then for the next eleven years, I tried to work up the nerve to talk to you.' 'Without success,' I add. 'Without success. So, in a way, my name being drawn in the reaping was a real piece of luck,' says Peeta. For a moment, I’m almost foolishly happy [...] " Also Katniss (in bed with Peeta):

" 'You didn’t have any nightmares last night,' he says. He’s right. For the first time in ages I’ve slept through the night. 'I had a dream, though,' I say, thinking back. 'I was following a mockingjay through the woods. For a long time. It was Rue, really. I mean, when it sang, it had her voice.' 'Where did she take you?' he says, brushing my hair off my forehead. 'I don’t know. We never arrived,' I say. 'But I felt happy.' " Also Katniss (in love with Peeta):

" As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta’s child could be safe. [...] When I wake, I have a brief, delicious feeling of happiness that is somehow connected with Peeta. "

THE FINALS

TWO Perfectly Normal (!) Waddle Dees, the Adjudicator of Souls, and a Thrice-Deceased Teen Swordsman walk into a bar...

[Vote in starstruck dee VS Valfrey] [Vote in Noir Fontaine VS Rope MF] :puppy eyes:

(There are no official "teams" going into the finals but that wasn't going to stop Dess from making up funny team names + banners for everyone!)

-

This was all inspired by a brief exchange where I was laughing about the crazy difference in vibes that Noir and Rope MF have, when Starflung noted that it WAS a quirky batch of finalists, with starstruck and Rope MF being very (VERY) normal Waddle Dees while Noir and Valfrey were not without their own similarities...!

It was funny to me she listed those two, as I had been thinking about how Noir and starstruck had traveled together as a pair, opposite Valfrey and Rope MF, who teamed up to drag Uther to hell.

And that made me giggle to imagine (a) starstruck dee getting all this way traveling in Noir's scarf only for her to leave him for Rope MF and his many charming Rope Facts while Noir is left stumbling, trying and failing to find common ground with Valfrey!

ROUND 6. kenji's incoherent yappings

you know what im just gonna take a really quick moment to analyze this scene cos..?????????? till was basically rejecting ivan’s smoochie woochie eugh he doesn’t know what the fuck is going ON. like . dude why are you suddenly kissing me and looking at me like that???

this one split second of them looking at each other, till’s perplexed expression is without a doubt evident on his face. but he lets ivan holds his face? he doesnt? push him away? like till is only digesting this just now and? actually pays even a little of his attention to ivan?

and then lets take a moment to also consider ivan’s expression. his eyes—always set upon till. his black sorrow, as black as his iris. as dead set as he is to his black sorrow, as obsessed and a freak that he is, lets himself run free of his affections like hes always longed for without consideration of till's feelings. of till's perception of ivan because he always believed and have been true that till will never, never look at his way. so yes, he will force his way for this. just for this split second, after all, their lives on the line. so he will make the most out of it. he is human, he is selfish, he has so much to give out and he can practically rip his heart from his ribcage if asked by till. that dead look is basically saying "i fucking loved u ever since were children, u ignorant piece of shit. look at me. look at me now"

then boom he feels tight hands choking him and with almost no resistance, accepts it with grace. slightly tilting his head back as he feels the pressure of each fingers restraining the circulation of air from lungs to throat.

now at this point, ivan could, you know. take till with him in the afterlife. he could fulfill his own selfish desires. he could tie till with his being because he is a freak like that. he sees their score and thinks "yeah, thats it. thats how its supposed to be."

"its my gift. its for you" that one small and tender peck to his lips is just. Augh. that took me out.

when blood gushes forth in his mouth, heart in throat. i think the actual choke here is ivan and his perpetual unrequited love for till. all for this moment, its always been a dull throb of pain, i think that explains why the presence of symbolism and strong emphasis on certain themes of this round is lacking. vivinos shoves us in the face with "take this shit. ivan will never be more than something to till. thats all there is to it." like, vivinos shrugs, and "it is what it is! :3"

which is another level of sad. there is no meaning to any of this. its just a guy with too much to give and another guy who has lost his everything. ivan will never be something to till. and ivan is replaceable to the aliens like any other pet humans they have. ivan, is meaningless, ivan is replaceable.

yk ivan sells himself short in the interview right? i think there's some truth to it that speaks of himself. and now, secrets revealed. all plain in the face. its that simple.

Hetalia X Alien Stage

Round 5

[purrfectlycontent]

thinking about all those years ivan spent learning about boundaries and how to maintain healthy relationships but then throwing that away (and, subsequently, his relationship with till) during round 6 by initiating that kiss

Essek learning to knit in the round, accidently making magic circles instead of hats. Is this anything?
