We're living in a nightmare. A pre-apocalyptic wasteland. Is there no one who can save us?

IGNIS X PROMPTO :

Who is more likely to hurt the other?

Not on purpose, mind you, but Ignis would absolutely hurt Prompto more. Ignis is similar to Gladio, in that he's the blunt 'reminder of reality,' which can, oftentimes, come across as uncaring and harsh. He wouldn't MEAN to hurt Prompto, but there are a lot of times he may unintentionally shoot down that sunshiny demeanor and cast a cloud over it, and there would be many more occasions where he would have to put Noctis first and, to some extent, neglect Prompto. It's a lot of the reason why Ignis is so hesitant to get into a relationship; Noctis comes first, no matter what, and in past romantic pursuits, this HAS raised several issues.

Who is emotionally stronger?

Ignis. You have to be as advisor to the future king. In fact, Ignis struggles to show emotion, in general, because he's been taught, in a way, that weakness and vulnerability impose upon his ability to do his job.

Who is physically stronger?

Ignis. Prompto is definitely strong in his own right, but Ignis was trained since he was a little kid to prepare him for his role as the heir apparent's advisor. There aren't many who can trump him in a fight,

Who is more likely to break a bone? 

Prompto, haha. Dude is, without a doubt, more accident prone than Ignis.

Who knows best what to say to upset the other? 

I think this is where Prompto would shine. Ignis approaches most situations with logic, whereas Prompto feels with his heart more than his head. Logic is great in some situations, but not all; sometimes, someone may just need a hug, or the right words to pick themselves back up and press on, and Prompto has always been the 'optimistic sunshine' of the group.

Who is most likely to apologize first after an argument? 

I'd say both! Neither of them wants to do wrong, and they're mature enough to realize when they have.

Who treats who’s wounds more often? 

Ignis treats Prompto's wounds. He's the healer of the group for a reason.

Who is in constant need of comfort? 

Prompto. Ignis doesn't seek it; he was trained to handle matters on his own without seeking comfort but Prompto (especially after THAT PART OF THE GAME) needs more validation.

Who gets more jealous? 

Prompto. He's shown to have more doubts than Ignis, and worries about his place in both their group and the world itself, so I can see those uncertainties rearing their ugly head in certain moments.

Who’s most likely to walk out on the other? 

I dunno, this one is tough. I think Ignis would probably up and leave first? I feel like Prompto would be the one who would fight for their relationship more, and Ignis would just deem it easier to call it quits if Prompto is the unhappy one.

Who will propose? 

I could see either of them doing it! Or... WANTING to do it, but I think Prompto would seize the opportunity before Ignis.

Who has the most difficult parents?

Canon wise, Prompto, the poor guy. :/ Even outside of the LITTLE we got in regards to Ignis' family, Verstael was... UGH. If we're talkin' my personal backstory for Ignis, then Prompto still takes the crown, but Ignis does become somewhat of a decent contender.

Who initiates hand-holding when they’re out in public? 

100% Prompto. He's definitely going to end up being the more affectionate one between the two of them, even after they've been together for years and years and years. Ignis just tends to be more private and reserved, especially in public, but as he gets more comfortable with the relationship, he'll return Prompto's affections more and more frequently, and initiate it more, too.

Who hogs the blankets? 

Prompto, haha. Ignis is the most orderly, unmoving sleeper in the world. He'd let it happen, too.

Who gets more sad? 

Prompto. Ignis definitely gets sad, but he swallows it down like it's soup and puts on a stone mask. Prompto feels a lot more than Ignis does.

Who is better at cheering the other up? 

Prompto. Mr. Ball of Sunshine right there~

Who’s the one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes?

Oh my gosh, 100% Prompto. If Ignis EVER did something like that, the world itself would end.

Who is more streetwise?

Prompto, just from experience alone. Ignis was raised in a very strict, culturally limited bubble, so his 'street smarts' are a bit... lacking.

Who is more wise?

Ignis! Has to be. Ya don't get to be the Advisor of the Heir Apparent without being INSANELY wise.

Who’s the shyest? 

Prompto. Ignis isn't 'shy,' he's just a bit... socially awkward.

Who boasts about the other more? 

Prompto. He seems like the type to put Ignis on an unnecessary pedestal.

Who sits on whose lap? 

Prompto is the lap sitter, and Ignis welcomes it. :)

SUNDERMASON. quickly

I LOVE THEEEEEEEEEEEM I LOVE THEM SO FUCKING MUUUUUUUUUUCH i think a potential relationship between james and harry is so fun and interesting to explore given what these men have been through and done (or nearly have in harry's case)

some of these thangs i marked off need some more extrapolation so i will do such:

"my feelings are so mixed they're a smoothie" - i'd say it's more-so complex than mixed bcs i love this pairing but i do definitely understand why some people would be put off by it 100%. i would like the people to know that i do not ignore the potential speed-bumps and roadblocks within their developing relationship... it would be complicated and i would like for it to be complicated bcs given james' whole... idk... murdering his wife kind of deal, i don't really think harry would be very happy to know that he Did That, and going forward would definitely take a bit. IT'S COMPLICATED!!!

"they're absolutely terrible in every way. they're perfect for each other" - this is hyperbole obviously but you know how it is with survival horror protagonists with tangible body counts. this to me means like. they're both fucked in the head (not that this makes someone terrible inherently but it sure can help i think!) and they can recognize the most harrowing aspects of themselves in the other. they have much in common. they should kiss about it.

"people that ship them need therapy i think" - it's me. i'm the person that needs therapy. also there are some people out there with the worst media opinions ever that like this pairing and i'm just in the corner lying face-down in a pool of my own blood. I PROMISE I TRY TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THEM I PROMISEEEEE AAAAAAAGH

anyways. those are my thoughts. HOPE YOU LIKE

The Woman Who Lived

Continued catching up on DW episodes what I have missed over the years. I suppose this is technically my other rewatchathon? That I started years ago? Like most Moffat episodes this is really about the Doctor, which is maybe why I loved Moff Tiem so much given that the Doctor is my favourite character from anything ever. Does this confirm that Clara dies, by the way? Because it's an episode about the pains and dangers of immortality and when we last see Clara she's functionally immortal. Actually, should I worry? Clara and Me, two immortals together the way this episode said should never happen? But then s9's ending aims for triumphant at the cost of thematic cohesion. Oh well. This episode was less OTP than people had made me expect, because while it does spend a lot of time on the Doctor's relationship with Clara the context for that is Me asking how many other Claras there have been over the years. This feeds into the sort of thing I like in a ship, which is to say pain and woe and inevitable misery. Yesssssssss, the good shit. OH TWELVE I MISS YOU. More than you I miss the Moffat Era in general. I can't remember if that dude is immortal, I don't think he was? He's not with Me in Face The Raven at any rate. I wanted to know a bit more about her assertion that nobody is worth keeping forever, because it seemed like a massive lie to hide whatever the truth was. THEEEEEEEMES. THERE WERE THEEEEEEEEEEEMES. And nobody stopped to explain what just happened a minute ago. And there was only one of Clara and all her lines were based on her characterisation and her relationship with her Doctor. Ahem. Anyway it was very good I was into it. The "plot" element doesn't matter in itself but it brings the themes into focus and surely that's what plots are for? Also is there a production reason Coleman was barely in this one or was it just laying the ground for Clara's departure and all the finale shenanigans? 5/5 even though not much happens in it, because it's *about* stuff and that's what matters. Possibly I'd have given it a 4 during s9 but we live in uninteresting times.
