out of curiosity, i decided to look up if the russian word on the vodka bottles in saf was complete gibberish or if the english letters made a word or clue.

i'm sure this has been knowledge for years but yall. the word in russian means "another". it's called. another vodka.

i'm thinking about the implications and being sooooo normal btw.

[eli-am-confused]

I spent like all day yesterday falling in love with @dr-docktor ‘s SaF swap au. DMA Curt is just so special to me. I couldn’t help but draw him.

Check out @dr-docktor guys. This au is so much fun.

If you can’t read the quotes they’re under the more.

The first pose is just DMA Curt being very bored or annoyed with a certain evil guy’s speech.

The second is DMA Curt right before Torture Tango, “So you’re the famed Owen Carvour? I’ve gotta say I was a bit worried we’d never meet after you went into retirement.” (Bestie trying really hard to keep it cool y’all)

Last picture is after the reveal and Curt is feeling a lot of things about it. “Don’t look at me like that! I ruined everything! You should hate me!” Owen probably giving him the saddest heart eyes.

I was looking for stuff to maybe use for fun littoe picture projects and I came across this on the SAF imdb page and I'm simply never going to recover

The WAY SPY ANOTHER DAY DID ONE STEP AHEAD AUGH

I loved it. The acting choices felt fresh and yet still held true to the characters that we know and love. I love that Owen chose to be closer to Curt in some parts as a teasing thing because that petty wanker totally would

Curts little reach out to Owen, while it was short HOLDS SO MUCH MEANING. It shows that he wants Owen, he needs Owen back, but he can't have him. So for only a second he'll cave to that voice in his head that wants Owen back before remembering that this isn't his Owen. Not anymore.

"Feeling a lot of deja vu again" AND THEY DID THE ARM THING AUGH THE THING THAT SYMBOLIZES THEIR TRUST.

GOD JUST KISS ALREADY OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THE AMOUNT OF HOMOEROTIC TENSION IS INSANE

[kairithemang0]

Ugh trans Curt goes stealth and has only told Owen he's trans and Owen's seeing his chest scars for the first time and reaches out to touch them and Curt swipes his hand away, telling him they look ugly and that he hates them, and then Owen says he loves them, and Curt asks him why and Owen replies with "there's nothing about your body that could ever make me hate it" and Curt DIES. His heart stops, his brain breaks, and he hears a ringing in his ears before Owen brings him back to reality by dragging his finger across the scars with a warm smile on his face and Curt buries his head in his shoulder

thinking about how fucked up curtwen is and how we don’t always account for it

Personally, I think as a group we give Owen way too much slack and empathy. The events of the show may have been kickstarted by Curt, I’d but Owen’s equally at fault if not more. I also think we put way too much in that they were actually so close pre-canon. Their relationship is a product of their situation, not because they we’re perfect for each other. They both had MASSIVE ego issues, and dialogue in A1P1 and One Step Ahead shows that they BOTH have/had massive egos. They clashed, but they were all the other had. At the very least, they understood each other’s situation, but it’s not like they had options.

The reason why I and many others still jump on the bandwagon of this absolute mess of a relationship is just because like… they’re fun. Realism and plot aside who doesn’t wanna take stock in a “found love in a world that doesn’t allow it” in both their sexualities and their lifestyles. The thought that they would chose each other anyway even if it was modern times and could be with anyone else is engaging. They’re traumatized and have cute banter and we’re given so little of pre and post canon to work with that we can do whatever the hell we want. Do I think there’s any good reason Curt should’ve let Owen live at the end of the show? Absolutely not. (Like actor Curt Mega himself said, it was kinda equivalent to putting down a dying dog out of its own misery.) But redeeming Owen in fanworks despite this is fun, so who gives a crap?

So that’s my take on it. Canon Curtwen is an unstable mess that was always on borrowed time, but adding layers and flair to what they have in the musical using little lines of dialogue and reasoning to justify it is uhhhh really stupid fun!! So I spend my free time drawing them being cutesy together anyway.

[justarandombrit]

Uhhhhhhhh I have an entire Google doc of Startinwrecked shipfics based on prompts that I haven't uploaded anywhere. I don't actually know if anyone wants to read them so. Poll!

Extra info in tags!

[missholloween]

tell me about crossnamera. To be honest, they’ve never really clicked with me but the fic I’m planning has them be together and I wanna do it well.

Okay, so this will probably be long.

For me, one of the things that make me love crossnamara is about the trust they had with each other.

We don't know much about their relationship pre-portal: Wilbur was MacNamara's mentor, he taught Macnamara all about the creatures he would later leave him to serve. By the way they speak about the other, they might've spent a lot of time together, working on different missions, getting to know the other. Maybe they shared some drinks, maybe they shared some secrets that no one else could understand. After all, not everyone would believe them if they talked about the paranormal, the extraterrestrial or the interdimensional.

Moreover, they might have had other secrets they shared. On one hand, MacNamara is confirmed to be queer by the Langs. On the other, Wilbur reads as the same type of antagonist as Owen, that is, a queer villain (I hc there's something funky going on with his gender too, but that's for another day). By being two queer men working for the government in the early 2000s, they could not only see someone like them (as people wouldn't be as out as they are today), but also they could see someone like them in a field not made for them. They'd have another person to go to.

However, what makes their relationship so interesting to me is how, even if there is/was a deep bond between them, their convictions are greater than any of their feelings. Wilbur will always turn to the Lords in Black, as he believes they'll liberate him and humanity. On the other hand, even if John once loved the person that called himself Wilbur Cross, he'd never let the world die for him. Their love is very important, but, when the chips are down, it won't make much of a difference. Maybe their conversations will be softer, maybe they'll kill the other in a fastest way than they'd do with others, but facing their former partner won't make them stop.

Although during their face-downs they will do what they have to do, I also think they are haunting presences in the other's life. MacNamara sees Wilbur in new cadets and old threats, remembering the person he knew before the portal. Wilbur remembers the man he once trained when he tricks younger folks to enter a world too big for them. It's about absences, and what might be built on them (I also love the headcanon that Wilbur and John switched tags before the portal incident and they've kept them).

TL;DR them..... I need the Langs to give us more info about what happened in 2005, because there's so much (angst) potential.

Curtwen Week Day 1: Pre Canon/London <3 :)

[perksofbeingpoet]

screaming giggling kicking my feet because THEY'RE SHARING CLOTHES THIS IS NOT A DRILL CURT IS WEARING OWEN'S SHIRT AAH

[uhhhitsme]

luckily for you, @kairithemang0 this is a lot shorter because i have so many points for this that im saving for an analysis post later on so you are getting a VERY very abridged version

okay. the artist TECHNICALLY wrote this song about being in a failing and toxic relationship and not knowing how to leave, but. fuck that. to me, this song is also about uncertainty, and the fear of another person leaving them. at the beginning, it sort of describes what im pretty sure is the afterglow of a night together. throughout the song, the singer describes their fear about the lover leaving them:

want to shout out the "i give myself to help you get by" because it further illustrates the terror of unmatched feelings between the two that i reference in the last one, that i WILL be making a post about later. i think this song works best from owen's perspective because of the next verse, and here there's the part about giving himself---showing so many vulnerabilities that owen, who is naturally closed off and appears less emotional than curt is, likely is afraid to show, but gives to curt---and what if it's for nothing? what if he gave so much of himself away, for nothing?

then:

OK. THIS IS THE PART THAT USUALLY THROWS PEOPLE OFF AND MAKES THEM GO "OH THIS SONG IS ABOUT THEM WANTING TO SEPERATE" AND I TELL YOU YOURE ALL WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to me, this from owen's perspective makes the most sense because---well. we see in a1p1 that pre-fall, he's very practical on the job. survival orientated. he actively seeks out locking the safety barricades despite the two of them being perfectly confident in their abilities to escape, for protection---just in case. and what he has with curt? i don't think i need to go on another ten page analysis explaining exactly what is dangerous about it.

owen, the logical one, the reasonable one---he knows that this is dangerous. and that he shouldn't stay, that they're both only going to get hurt, that he would be better off without curt. that he would be safer alone. but he can't find the nerve to do it. not with how much he cares about curt. so fuck you all THIS IS A CURTWEN SONG I SAY IT IS
