#frienship version

[diary-of-lu]

Very excited to come back to my hometown for the first time this year just to finally watch the eras tour Taylor's version with my friends

What they don't know is that i bought a lot of things for that night, that's what they get for being friends with a swiftie 😅

A Dear Lonely Soul

I, a dear lonely soul, was all to myself.

Until I started trusting in the angel hiding in the sky,

Until the moment I started believing in the stars above my head,

Until the day when I gave my box of

Treasure secrets to heaven in exchange for friendship.

Then started my life, a beautiful roller coaster.

Like a fresh dew drop on a young Lotus flower,

Like the morning Sun, oh so bright!

Like the dancing stars on a chilly night,

All caught in my hand.

For a moment, for a breath, I blinked.

And then I saw my life slipping down from the palm of my hand.

As the drop of dew fell off the petal and evaporated into my hope.

Like the disappearance of the morning Sun,

Never wishing to rise again.

Same as the starry night,

To fade away inside the blanket of darkness.

Can you hear the sound of my trust falling apart,

See the scars as my belief broke down?

Again and again.

I, a dear lonely soul, was all to myself.

was nobody going to tell me that le bon temps du rock n roll de Johnny Hallyday is a cover of old time rock n roll by Bob Seger, or was i supposed to learn by having yet another random country/rock music phase and letting the algorithm do it's thing

Sjskdjdjg this was just soooo cute! I need more!!! 😭❤❤❤❤

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT

Okay so think about it; I’m sure Eddie doesn’t hang out with a ton of girls, not on purpose, he just mainly hangs out with the hellfire club and his band members.

Then you show up

And you fit right in with everyone. It’s so easy to talk to you since you both have similar interests and you’re very chill about everything. Sure you get excited and into the game play but overall you just like to hang and talk about similar interests! You hang out, listen to music and what not. He loves spending time with you, he feels so relaxed around you.

Maybe a little too relaxed. You don’t mind of course because you know, Eddie is just your friend. He’s made that painfully clear that he just sees you as another one of his guy friends, which is fine.

Then one day, he’s walking around town and he sees you in the video rental store talking to Robin. You guys are going crazy over something and he realizes you’re giggling and there’s something else… he can’t put his finger on it but he knows he’s blushing. He better go say hi and see what’s so funny.

He walks in and Robin greets him half assed as soon as she recognizes who it is and gives him a witty one liner.

“Whatcha guys talking about?”

“Oh Robin was just telling me about the new Tom Cruise movie that just came out. Apparently Nancy is reeeaaalllyyyy into him but he’s not really my type”

He stands there a bit dumbfounded

“You’re… you’re talking about.. Tom cruise? And your type?”

“It sounds silly but Robin says it’s a good movie! Maybe I’ll have to watch and see what Nancy sees in him” you and Robin both laugh at the thought a little bit

Eddie is just staring at you, realizing he’s caught you talking to your friend.. about boys. and he would have this ridiculous epiphany. “You really are a girl”

You stiffen a bit and it doesn’t go unnoticed “Uhh yeah… last time I checked Ed, what have I been this whole time? An alien?” You’re not dumb, again, you know exactly how Eddie saw you but this just drove the knife a bit deeper.

“No that’s not- I didn’t mean- no I just-“

Robin let’s out an exhausted sigh “look dorky ozwad, just because she plays dnd with you and goes to concerts and knows how to hang doesn’t make her any less of a girl. It’s the 80s dude, girls can like fantasy and metal just as much as they like romance”

Eddie stands there dumbfounded, he’d feel like an idiot. He knows it shouldn’t matter and to him it still doesn’t. He just never realized how “bro-y” he had been towards you. And it makes him feel silly. Now everything makes sense as to why he always likes to watch you smile and laugh (he’d do anything to make you laugh) or why he always wants to hang out with you. He likes you. More than just a friend, and not even just because you’re a girl- because you’re YOU. He just forgot that sometimes to get the girl, you have to treat her with a bit more rizz than he would a guy friend.

He’d be standing there an awful long time and your also standing there in silence, blushing profusely at everything that just unfolded. Of course you told Robin about feeling just like another one of his friends which would have been FINE with you.. but it wasn’t really. You wanted him to look at you differently, not entirely, but just enough to see you in a different light.

After that day he does. He notices the way you greet everyone with a bit of a pep to your step. How you always make sure you have a good outfit, even when you’re just lazing about. You always are prepared for every situation, and most of all, he notices every kindness you share to those around you. You’re sweet, you’re nice, and you’re so pretty it’s ridiculous. He’s been so blind this whole time because on top of all that, you go into battle every week during hellfire with no mercy. You go to metal concerts and are in the middle of most mosh pits. You are able to stand your ground in any argument big or small, and you can out do any of the guys in any random prank or dare.

You are perfect to him. He knows this. Now he has to figure out how to make sure YOU know he thinks you’re perfect.

He has no IDEA where to start

“I NEED ADVICE” as he slams the doors to the video rental place, to see not only Robin but also Steve. Perfect.

“Whoa dude okay are you finally ready to listen to other things besides screaming for 10 minutes?”

“For the last time, it is music, and no that’s not what I’m here for” he’d look at Robin and she’d smirk “ahh.. you’re finally here for lady advice I see”

“Lady advice? You? Who’s the lucky gal? Is it y/n? Took you long enough-

“I KNOW I know but I don’t know what to do.”

“Just you know.. treat her like a girl

Robin elbows him “dude, come on, what era are you two from? different wording. Treat her like she’s special. Treat her like you would do anything to make her happy”

“I would do that, but I don’t know HOW that’s why I’m here”

Robin groans “look, you guys hang out ALL the time, SURELY you’ve noticed SOMETHING she wants a guy to do for her”

something a guy could do for her…

—————————————————————

The next morning you’d be making your way to your locker when you notice Eddie is already there.

With his hair pulled back into a low messy bun. And he’s wearing a button up. And he looks like he’s either going to freak any second or faint in the process.

“Good morning Eddie. What’s with the get up? I’ve NEVER seen you this formal… are you wearing cologne?”

“Haha yeah uh- um- I am. I was trying to smell nice compared to the normal weed, beer, and cornflakes-“

“I like your normal smell”

“What? No that’s not- we’ll come back to that” You’ve been there all of 10 seconds and he’d already be flushed. you giggle and only just realize then that he’s holding something behind his back. He pulls out a bouquet of flowers, beautiful and bright

You feel so bad for trying not to laugh. He notices immediately and starts to regret everything. Of course you wouldn’t like this, or him. He puts them away but you’d grab his arm back out and take the flowers, still giggling to yourself

“I’m sorry, sorry, I’m being so incredibly rude. This is VERY sweet of you, but this is SO out of character for you. What’s going on?”

“Well you know.. after the other day with Robin I realized I’ve never really shown you.. how.. I feel about you? And like sure we play dnd together and you come to my concerts and we are together all the time because I love being around you but you.. deserve to be treated like you’re special. Because you are.. to me..”

He wishes the ground could swallow him whole

You look at him with those gentle eyes and you look back at this bouquet he’s brought you and you just smile so big. “Well.. you certainly have made me feel special right now. But next time, just know you do not have to dress up like a job-monkey. I think your jacket is hot enough”

He lights up “really? You like my jacket?”

“Duh. I like everything about you, even the nasty things, and believe me you’ve got those. But I like that you treat me like me. Like a person. Not just a playtoy or separate species. I will admit though, it would be nice if you held my hand or showed any kind of affection”

He’s looking at you dumbfounded. You’d just take it as your cue to grab his hand and start walking towards your English class together. You stop by his locker though so he can change and eventually the two of you are just as you were, but a little bit more. He gets more comfortable with you and eventually everything works out as you planned it- after all, flirting with boys especially Eddie isn’t rocket science.

[blueviolinsblog]

If you happen to be 18+ and would like to have someone to talk to and/or eventually a friend...hmu! There's too many people on Earth for you and i to feel lonely don't you think? ;)

Ps: nothing romantic. Meeting new people is fun and that's literally it ✧

[koukouture]

Something I will never personally forgive the English ffxiv translation for is yeah sort of Haurchefant being more overtly flirty and even a little perverted- but it's also his last words to WOL bc in Japanese it's smth like "Heroes cannot be sad, but you have such a beautiful smile. Try not to forget mine" and like that carried over to the other versions like French and German but English changed to the admittedly iconic "A smile better suits a hero" but idk I think the original translation just felt a lot more personal.

Oh, also, allegedly Haurchefant and Aymeric's friendship was a lot more apparent in Japanese dub which is smth that makes sense bc Edmont just randomly saying Aymeric is like another son to him kinda feels shitty without the context of their frienship. But if you say that Haurche and Aymeric are good friends, then it's like "You were someone important to my son so I welcome you" and idk I just feel like it would have slapped a little harder

[rayvikk]

I feel like Arcane's beautifully written friendship between Jinx and Ekko deserves more credit!

On screen male-female frienships have been known to be very surface level since like forever. Many even deny that they can exist. It's incredibly rare to see a man and a woman get emotional or display some level of intimacy between each other, and not immediately come across as "straight". Finding a scene like that in a show could seriously be like passing a mixed-gender version of the Bechdel test. And it's something that Arcane yet again pulls of flawlessly. But I feel like the show doesn't get nearly as much credit for it as maybe it gets for the "progressive" (I hate using that word) Vi-Caitlyn relatioship. And I understand that people like to ship Ekko and Jinx romantically, obviously there is nothing wrong with that (and the memes around it are great too), but I think they have much more value as best friends. It's completely fine to platonically kiss your girl best friend. Let men express emotions without accusing them of being str*ight!

Nothing romantic to see here; literal platonic sibligns fr

Context.

Students of frienship (made them smaller than usual in accident)

Separate versions:

[simplyofthestars]

oh god Levia. Levia and Mephiles

This whole time I was like "when the rare-pair (frienship-wise) is so rare that you're the only person in the fandom who knows about them" and i completely forgot for a hot minute that I invented Levia.

Like I was so cocksure that Levia (aka evil rouge) already existed, but she doesn't, she literally does not exist.

I thought "they be making evil versions of everyone so surely im basing this off a character i don't know exists" but NO

THERE IS LITERALLY NO EVIL ROUGE

SHE ALREADY WAS A VILLIAN FOR THE TIME SHE WORKED WITH EGGMAN

AND THERE ARE NO OTHER ROUGES (unless we're counting the prime versions)

I was like "yep this exists" NO IT DOESN'T

SHE DOES NOT EXIST AND I AM MAKING HER RIGHT NOW

SHE IS A GODAMN OC BASED OFF A REAL CHARACTER GOING THROUGH SITUATIONS THAT OTHER CHRACTERS HAVE

THERE IS NO VILLIAN MEPHILES OUTSIDE OF SONIC 06

THERE ARE NO ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF ROUGE

AND THERE IS NO LEVIA IN THE CANON SONIC UNIVERSE

(Levia for the people who don't know and are just stumbling on this)

Headcanon that Velvette showed Vox Synth/Techno/Trance music. He liked it and made a few tracks himself (like the style of Paranoid DJ). However nobody thought that they would be hits, but maybe Vox hypnotized people or sinners actually liked the songs enough to request them in radio shows.

Alastor is pissed because he is a snob when it comes to music and machines lack the soul to make music. Whatever these sinners request is loud noise and can not be called music. Vox finds out and is jumping on the train to annoy Alastor, partial because it's his (only?) version where he can dominate Alastor.

Or Vox is using his music to torture his employees because their performence weren't good enough. Just imagine trying to sleep and your boss is sending dubstep music directly into your brain. Getting a song stuck inside your head gets a whole new meaning.

I totally headcanon Vox as electronic music lover sksksks he enjoys these kind of tunes that feel like zap going straight to your brain, absolutely overstimulating. Though I don't think that he uses his music to punish his employees because that would mean admitting that it's not peasant to listen. C'mon, it's Vox, he's convinced that it's literally the best shit that ever happened to the music industry. And that's where tortures come in - when he's in a maniacal state this shit plays at VoxTek hq 24/7. Good luck focusing on your office job. And you can't even tell your boss to turn this shit off or he'll electrocute you.

When it comes to Alastor I totally agree he's an absolute snob and he despises techno, dubstep etc. But I also think that love for music was something important in his former relationship with Vox, one of these things that turned strictly professional arrangement into frienship. They've spent fair share of time discussing it and ping-ponging ideas, and they both grew to appreciate each other's taste. As a result some of the greatest electro swing bits in Hell's history were born. Which made Alastor hate it even more when he and Vox split up, nowadays he'd rather choke than admit he enjoyed a single second of Vox's creation (and vice versa).

Transformers: Mosaic #564 - "Beauty And The Beast"

Originally posted on December 13th, 2010

Story - Curt Lunsford Art - Dane Eichinger

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005 | BotTalk

wada sez: On Seibertron, Lunsford explained: “I wrote it as a direct homage to King Kong, 1933 version. That's even where the proverb come from. Basically, I never really thought too much into how their relationship worked. The piece is more about how Starscream was once a savage warrior, but when he sees Alexis and her pain(and a certain kind of beauty, frienship?), it opens up a new part of him. Ultimately this part leads him to join up with the Autobots, and sacrafice his life against Unicron.” Most of the strip’s action was Eichinger’s doing, as Lunsford stated: “that was all him. The script was for only 5 panels :).”
