Perpetually doomed siblings my beloved

The more tragic and irredeemable the better.

Is it really an enemies to lovers ship if there isn't a moment of one of the characters expressing that if only they knew each other earlier or could meet again in some other way? Because surely if fate had only dealt them a kinder hand, they would have been friends.

I'd just like to add on to my previous post about Earthspark Twitch and Megatron going to Cybertron and meeting Hot Rod that bang up alongside that I'd love it if Hot Rod also develops and unexcpected friendship with Soundwave like he did in Cyberverse.

Like maybe they'd been fighting on Cybertron the whole time but at the Climax the Quintessons or Unicron or whoever is descending on Cybertron and maybe they got away from an initial assault with Hot Rod having saved Soundwave or something. They come to a mutual agreement to temporarily team up to help liberate their home world (again just like in cyberverse) and it turns out they work great together.

No idea how that'd end but I just think it'd be cool.

Plus the soundrod fans would love it.

I have been trying ever since I first watched rwby to picture canon Tauradonna. The dates they'd go on, the hobbies they'd share, what intimacies they'd indulge

And I can't

There's just no romantic chemistry between them no matter how many "my darlings" the writers throw in last minute. While each character have qualities that make them attractive, there's nothing that truly shows why or how they're attracted to each other

Hell, the only answer the comics can give for why Blake was into Adam was the "I can fix him" mentality, which. Gross, but that's still more than anything we get for why Adam likes Blake. Maybe they both like sushi? She just fights real good? Who knows, man

As individuals, I can gleam an idea of the kind of lovers they'd be, but together? Does not compute

Saimatsu!!!

Cute little Saimatsu art!! This took a while.. and this next little one took the most time ;)

You really thought it would be one simple ship post? I love the love triangle of these three 😈 Here's just Kaede and Shuichi for all you Saimatsu shippers

[amelikos]

Gibeon seems to take betrayal very personally. He even took a dig at Amethio's father, presumably, when he told Amethio "so you were the same, you would stray from the path too...". He seems to hold a lot of bitterness over what happened. Given how he talks about him, it's no wonder that Amethio started seeing his father in a negative light and would say that he is not like him in an attempt to distance himself from him.

I wonder if Amethio's father will show up soon. I still think Crave (Friede's former superior at Exceed) is the only candidate for it from the characters we've seen so far. He showed up in the same episode Gibeon was revealed to be Amethio's grandfather, he seems kind and caring (and apparently, Gibeon doesn't like that), and they made sure to show that he is a married man. So it's either him or a character we haven't met yet. But I think Amethio's father is alive, not only because of the way they talk about him, but also because I think Amethio will mend his relationship with him and he'll have a home to come back to in the end. If Liko, Roy and Dot's families are there for the trio to come back home to, then I think Amethio's situation will be similar (or at least, I hope so).

Going back to Gibeon, I wonder if he perceives whatever happened with Lucius as betrayal, and now casts people away at the slightest hint of what he views as betraying him (Amethio's father, and now Amethio himself...). Gibeon seems affected by "betrayal" and maybe "choosing something/someone over him" from his reactions in the episode... From what has been implied so far, Amethio's father didn't take up Gibeon's will and chose his own path and wants (family, career..). And Amethio's actions in this episode made it look like he "chose" the enemy (Liko) over Gibeon, from his grandfather's perspective.

All of this makes me curious because all the framing around Lucius so far makes it look like Gibeon is the one who did something to betray him, hence why Terapagos seems to have a strong negative reaction to Gibeon's name being mentioned. But now, it also looks like Gibeon is affected by betrayal, potentially for a reason that has roots to the past (and which has been amplified by Amethio's father straying from the path, etc).

Liko's line about hearing people out ("I can see that there is stuff you'll never know if you don't hear people out") might have been the most important line in this episode. She got to talk with Amethio and they both got to hear each other out and understand each other better. And she only had to ask to receive answers. Meanwhile, Gibeon refused to hear Amethio out and shut down the possibility for dialogue. Which means that there is stuff he will never know, because he wasn't willing to hear Amethio out. It makes me wonder if whatever happened between Lucius and Gibeon is a huge misunderstanding that could have been solved if Gibeon was willing to hear the other party out. Like, what if Gibeon is dragging everyone in his messy breakup with Lucius over something that could have been easily avoided and solved, and what if there are huge misconceptions and misunderstandings on his side.

(More thoughts and drafting! Some weird formatting I know but it was all one block in my notes)

Emma is doing just fine. Average. It’s really not so bad.

She’s just been dealing with a lot of change. And with too many things not changing.

Which is… an odd thing to struggle with.

Because she likes change. Daunting challenges. The unpredictable. Doing new things every day and never being scared of them. And she likes independence.

She had thought so, at least.

After the show, she had been hit in the face with just how… isolated she was. She had only had two friends before the first season, but she had left them behind. Her mother wasn’t doing the best, and she didn’t have any nearby family.

She found herself laying in her bed in the middle of the day most of the time, scrolling through her contacts and old conversations.

Or scrolling through her comments on TikTok.

A few weeks ago, she had tried some stunt involving a motorcycle and an inflatable pool. She probably wouldn’t have messed it up if her hands weren’t trembling.

(She had forgot to check the breaks, and wasn’t sure if they were working.)

(They were.)

The blood dripping down her face and the gash in her lip didn’t sting as much as it did watching the video.

She looked ridiculous, and she probably always did. It was better when she had someone else to do it with. Maybe she was losing her touch.

She didn’t post the video.

She turned back to dancing instead, which did feel less embarassing, despite the constant mocking feedback. Sure, the jokes were “funny”, but she didn’t care about any of it. She didn’t feel the rush, she wasn’t planning every day, and she wasn’t known or loved for anything.

Except for what she lost.

And, the show, to an extent.

-Ugh, she misses the show. She shouldn’t, but as stupid as it sounds, she really did. She missed doing crazy things and talking to people. Having a chance of winning. Beating everyone. Being cheered on. It wasn’t always great, but at least it was something. She misses doing something.

And she really misses Bowie. She missed Bowie, but she knows better than anyone that she can’t go back to that. They just- have better things to do now. He probably does.

He’s got Raj- which is great! And she’s happy for him! She’s happy for everyone. For Wayne, however he’s doing, for Julia, despite everything.

And Caleb. For having Priya.

Emma is jealous that Bowie gets to have someone.

Emma is jealous that everyone else gets to have someone.

Emma is jealous that, unlike everyone else, winning the show probably wouldn’t have made her any happier.

She isn’t sure what would.

Yall The Trainee the series got the ending it desrved 😭😭✋🏼

ITS SO FRICKIN GOOD HAD ME SQUEALING EVERY 30 SECONDS.

This show had some

✨SPLENDID💫 CHARACTER 🤌🏼 DEVELOPMENT 👑

Also TAE AND BA-MHEE GOT ENGAGED KSGDKXHDJXVSUSVDHSBDUDV ADORABLEK DKDBDJDBCHDVGX

Pah is just such a frickin cutie pie. He is the bestie we all want and need. Him developing his confidence was peak.

Pie is just so smart but so dumb at the same time. But she's just, so real. I love that woman.

Jane finally working up the courage to follow his dreams is so good. ALSO THE AUDACITY OF THIS MAN- HE JUST GOT BOLDER OVER THE 5 YEARS.

Ryan finally has a direction to go in. He is a confident man who has built a leader in himself. Mans got sassy af.

Not all 5 of them just being such gossiping besties in the film industry. They would make good mentors but like the goofy scary kind.(pie really takes after Jane in his AD era and we love her for it ✋🏼😭)

And not to mention! Good Pick has such a non toxic work environment, like no hard feelings whatsoever, and just happy to see their old friend visit them. Baimon has my heart i swear. And Jo was someone that Jane needed.

Also, Nine, we dont condone the use of middle fingers in this household. We use all fingers. We give you all fingers, right across your face.

Special mention to the most gorgeous woman, Judy. Woman literally taught everything about being an AE, how to take care of oneself and others, and taught Ba mhee it is okay to be selfish. We also learn that

👏🏼 Treat👏🏼 your👏🏼 girl👏🏼 right👏🏼 or👏🏼 someone👏🏼 else👏🏼 will👏🏼

👏🏼 But👏🏼 that👏🏼 does👏🏼not👏🏼 excuse👏🏼 cheating👏🏼

👏🏼 Sometimes👏🏼 breaks👏🏼 are👏🏼 required👏🏼 to 👏🏼 understand👏🏼 if👏🏼 you👏🏼 really👏🏼 want👏🏼 something.👏🏼

Hopefully the Twister fandom grows for the sake of more people able to understand the fics you're writing because I love your stuff but I'm missing all the subjective love a fan of the series would have

same! both the 1996 and 2024 movies are so much fun and deserve all the love and fics and fanart and gifs

like it was only until last week I think since Twisters got an official tag on ao3 (which is just a combo between toy and a twister 1996 but still!!! huge props to all the fic writers contributing to the fandom) and i have found that the Jake “Hangman” Seresin & Tyler Owens (Twisters) tag is common enough to be included when typing for the relationship tag so 👀 we are definitely getting there!

[lu-sn]

lu, I didn't know you watched my school president until I saw you comment on a post. Please tell me if you have Thoughts™️ about the show. Because mine is just 😩🥺😭💗

HI MILKTEA I SURE DO HAVE THOUGHTS

so here's the thing, okay. MSP hits every BL trope that i'm so tired of. school setting, main character plays guitar and sings, main character is in a band, band is trying to win A Very Important Competition. love interest is So Charmed by the main character and his one-of-a-kind guitar playing but cannot reveal his crush, gasp, so instead they antagonize each other.

so many BLs fit this? like, all of them??? did i just describe the plot of 2gether? do you really need to watch the 2930730472037th thinly-veiled 2gether remake?

(answer: yes.)

because some genius scriptwriter finally did it right. MSP isn't just a grab bag of tropes and caricatures duct-taped together. it's not just banking on hot actors and smoulders to carry a flimsy story.

it's about a kid, and his friends, and their small but precious dream. it's about a kid looking for understanding and connection, finding it in the most unexpected person, and then doing everything possible to make that person happy. it's about kids and their moms, and what it means to watch your kid grow up, and what it means to grow and change with them. god, it's about FRIENDSHIP, so much goofy stupid lovable friendship. it's about reaching for dreams and failing to grab hold of them and having no regrets anyway.

it's so genuine.

and fuck!!! it's funny!!!!! IT'S SO FUNNY. literally every single gag landed. when they first panned to that chinzilla plushie on the altar i busted a lung laughing. props to the cast and crew for just nailing the comedic delivery and timing.

good pacing, good writing, great characters with complex needs and wants. and fourth and gemini are a fantastic lead pair, they're strong actors and they're so effortlessly comfortable with each other on screen and they're a straight shot of serotonin 🥹🥹🥹 I WOULD KILL FOR THEM

cough. anyway. tl;dr i loved it 😩🥺😭💗 it's in my top five BLs for sure, if not top three. everyone should watch it immediately. this has been a PSA.

[jemmo]

i knew watching stay with me was a huge mistake bc my god is this my guilty pleasure bl style.

Hello! I am back from the grave for a Six (Seven?) Sentence Sunday Post!!

Thank you to everyone that has been so kind as to include my in your tag lists despite my silence. @shrekgogurt @artsyunderstudy @ivelovedhimthroughworse @hushed-chorus @j-nipper-95 @martsonmars @ileadacharmedlife @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @palimpsessed @aristocratic-otter @cutestkilla @onepintobean @fatalfangirl @aroace-genderfluid-sheep and @ic3-que3n

It's been a chaotic few weeks - I won't get into the absolute soap opera levels of madness that is my life. But if you've been in my DM's recently, know that I appreciate you infinitely for putting up with me.

So, without further ado, have some sentences from six different projects I've been trying to make progress with :

COBB Project #1

Mordelia saw both her mother and sisters in the aftermath of everything. She has to live with that horror living inside her mind just like I do.  I still can’t sleep through the night. It’s impossible to close my eyes and not see their faces in those final moments. The light burned their eyes from the inside as their skin pulled tight from the heat drying them out. Nothing but a husk of a corpse was left behind.

COBB Project #2

As much as mother wishes it were, my heritage is no great secret to me. I know that Malcolm is my father. Which means I know the whole reason we live in the mortal realm is to keep him from controlling our lives.  If only my mother would understand that I don’t need her to control my life.  Growing up, I quickly realized that the nymphs who I thought were my friends were really nothing more than my guards. Playing with me to ensure that I didn’t leave the land that was under my mothers protection.

Infinity In Your Chest Pocket

(No, this project isn't dead. Just taken a seat on the back burner because I don't know how to not sign up for events with deadlines.)

He has absolutely no table manners – just shoveling the food in his mouth. I want to shove my tongue in his mouth. To lick the syrup from the back of his teeth and get lost in him.  The thought isn’t unusual for me. I spend a concerning amount of both my waking and sleeping hours thinking of Simon Snow. Fantasizing about all of the ways he’ll never touch me. It’s probably unhealthy - letting my thoughts run rampant all the time, but if it’s all I’m ever going to get I have to take it. 

Mystery Gift #1

The absolute tease. I can't believe that he actually had the audacity to walk across campus with my spunk splattered across his face like that. (I can actually believe it, he has no fucking shame, and it's not like anyone could really see him.) But he knows how I feral I get with him. I hate it. (I don't, I fucking love it, but that doesn't mean I understand it.) Which means he knows exactly what to expect when I get back to our room.

Not so Mystery Gift #2

(I love you, I swear I'll get this done soon for you <3)

"I do believe that I gave you very clear orders today," Erwin practically growls. Pressing impossibly closer and forcing my lower back into the edge of the table. It's impossible for me to not let a sly grin cross my face at his mock fury. "You did." My response only serves to rile him up further as he grabs my chin between calloused fingers and forces my eyes to meet his. "If you can't follow basic commands, maybe I need to put you on a tighter leash."

Gravy

(How did I get here? How did I become a food kink pioneer?)

I'm never going to be able to face Ruth again. Not after having spent all afternoon asking her to help me make a thick gravy worthy of the queen. The gravy is delicious. The queen isn't worthy of it. It's warm and peppery - a deep brown color that stands out against my skin as it drips down my collarbone and chest. Baz doesn't let it drip far though before he's licking it up hungrily. I like to imagine that it's my blood he's lapping up so eagerly.

Fish Snapshot I Guess

Tagged by @residentdormouse, who is forever reminding me that the point of a blog isn't only to slap things I like onto the wall like a dragon hoarding shiny things jfkds;afd Sooooo nerd time!

Current Favorite Color: what's funny is that purple and teal are my favorite combination, so I'd have to say both at once? I'm also a fan of blue and orange, but only together. Last Song: Not counting me trying to search through spotify to find one specific tune in this k-drama, it was Labour by Paris Paloma, which goes hard while being so damn catchy, I cannot recommend it enough.

Currently Reading: Okay I'm trying to retrain my brain to read long things at a stretch again to mixed degrees of failure, but currently I'm rereading Saiyuki, which is a fantastic series that more people should definitely know about. I also just barely picked up and started to read Wuthering Heights today after a discussion with my roommate about how twisted Gothic romances are. So, here's hoping I can actually get through it without getting distracted fjkdsal;fd

Currently Watching: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo. Again. Mostly because one of my roommates had me watch it years ago and now we're getting the other roommate into it. I've never laughed so hard or wanted to cry so much. The characters are so good. The story is so good. The soundtrack is impeccable. Out of all the dramas I've ever seen, literally nothing tops this for writing, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Currently Craving: Does sleep count There's actually this really good Bioshock-themed tea blend on Adagio that I've been craving a lot lately -- I wish my budget would let me make another tea splurge again jfkdlsjafl;d

Coffee or Tea: I think the above may help my case, but I'm dEFINITELY a tea kinda gill. Iced, hot, herbal, black, green.....I have a lot jfkdl;safd I could buy stock in Adagio at this point. It's not that I don't like coffee! I'm a sucker for a good latte, but I don't crave sweet drinks often, so I much prefer tea.

No pressure tagging @caktusjuice-draws and @jaiesondurantkross, if they wanna!
