#if these two don't end up being endgame istg

[fategoflatass]

FINALLY, SOME FUCKING FOOD.

[nono-bunny]

I knew Brooklyn and Malibu are probably the second biggest ship after Malibu and Ken, but before watching Big City Big Dreams I had no real frame of reference to who Brooklyn is as a person and what their dynamic is like, but after watching it... Istg literally every single time they're on screen together there's just a completely unmissable romantic undertone???

We KNOW the Barbie staff is capable of writing platonic relationships, because Malibu has tons of platonic friends! So I literally just cannot imagine that this wasn't meant to be gay??? Istg at times the symbolism and chemistry was better than with Ken, and?? I'm genuinely really confused by the whole thing because if they're capable of writing this sort of romantic tension without making it awkward (ugh "do you want to dance?") then why not put that effort towards what is very obviously gonna be the endgame couple? I love Ken, he's great, but things were kinda awkward and a bit cringe before BCBD when it comes to those two, and then they turn around and deliver this flawless romance devoid of any implicit depiction even though I feel like it's unmissable and.. Why was this not done with Ken?

I like Brooklyn well enough, I loved her a lot by the middle of the movie but the way she so easily got played and needed "proof" to believe in Malibu, as if they weren't all goofing off and she had other friends to verify it was an accident even without a video... Like, that was NOT a good look for her, and the movie in general really suffered from just like... Being a movie, actually- it would've made for an amazing series with room to let things develop more, which the staff working on it obviously realized given that there are two seasons of a Double Barbie show, but! My god was the pace here suboptimal lol

Also whatttt the fuck in regards to Emmie's dad, he's AWFUL and that never got resolved and I'm hoping to god that storyline gets continued and that Emmie and Rafa don't get dropped in the sequels/spin offs

Rafa felt off in a way I couldn't put my finger for a while, but I think it's that he just looks way older in comparison to the other three lol. I don't really have any particular feelings towards him otherwise but I'd like it if he could stay relevant and become more than a gay coded fashionista with a dog. For example, he clearly has some theatrical skills and I'd love to see them maybe expand on that rather than chalk it up to this being a musical, because that one song he sang had me more invested in his character than all of his other scenes combined lol, like I was SURE he wasn't gonna take part but then he did and it was great and I kinda want an in universe explanation for that??

Anyway the ending left me feeling like it was very rushed and with a lot of unanswered questions and I'm hoping that the follow-ups to this are good! The beginning/middle parts of the movie were really good but the ending kinda really tanked it. For a movie that did a surprisingly good job with its montages, it still failed to have them in some places where they were SORELY needed and it left it as a weaker story as a result... But it's no big deal to me so long as they manage to make up for the stuff they missed in the sequels, so... Here's to hoping!

I'd just like you to know that you've gotten me invested in nancy x ace through all the gifs you've been reblogging afhajhjf istg if this ship sinks too i will go insane 🤺

They are so!!!!!!! I will also go insane if they don't end up endgame but I am 99% confident they will, just solely based on how much focus they've put on how badly Nancy wants to be with him and how much not being with him is breaking her heart, because Nancy usually recovers quite quickly from romantic mishaps/breakups and the fact that we've lingered so long on her struggling with healing from this has got me like 👀 "there's got to be a point to this"

that said, I am genuinely curious how many times two goobers who were never in a relationship can possibly break-up. We're currently up to four times

hi! i want to say 3 things and hear your thoughts :)

1. some fans keep dismissing elriel as pure lust when before that az chapter they dismissed them as a sibling type relationship. it can't be denied that they go wayy beyond horniness. and you (plural) keep saying we don't have elain's pov so we don't know for sure how she feels ab luc (true), but she doesn't even want his gifts (the gloves from feysand bonus), and keeps trying to get as far away from him as she can. and she's not asking feysand to vanish luc bc elain is kind and patient. she doesn't want to hurt him but she's not interested in lucien as a love interest. maybe firends?

2. sjm has a type when it comes to male love interests. it's obvious to me that she favors az over luc

3. she wouldn't have written that bonus if elriel weren't endgame,,and i know you said maybe she's saving luc for later but this is not gonna be a trilogy. she said several times each book follows one couple, and she likes heas and she's never gonna write a book where the two mcs don't end uo together. (her words istg)

1) How can it not be denied that it goes beyond horniness? That’s literally all we’ve seen from them besides glances. 

Please reread this post about how near or far elucien have gotten to one another. Lack of evidence isn’t evidence.

sjm said that Elain and Az have a sibling relationship. I don’t speak for all elucien shippers, but I can’t remember having ever said that. The author did. Did she change her mind? Maybe. But we didn’t make that up, it didn't come from nowhere.

2) You’re friends with someone else who put a condescending ask in my inbox yesterday, I assume? I deleted it. Because yeah there is an alpha male theme going on with her male leads, and Lucien literally dominated Cassian in acosf, and Lucien is the only person who is able to deal with Tamlin, a High Lord, at his lowest. And Lucien is the son of a High Lord. He was a complete snarky asshole to Feyre in acotar. Lucien was one of the only people who fought to help Feyre when she was UtM. Next?

3) No one is arguing that she doesn’t like HEAs? If someone was a fan of hers and didn't know she likes HEAs, I'd wonder where their head is. I’m not sure what your point is here. That’s literally why elucien being mated makes sense for them to end up together. I don’t think that she’s saving Lucien for a separate book from Elain?

I will not be answering any more asks about Az and Elain as a couple.

Y’all know that I don’t ship it. Y’all know that I actively dislike it, to go so far as to block the tag and almost never use the ship name. I can’t help but feel like people are treating me like an argument slot machine for this ship war, let’s insert this point and see what she says next! You know I don’t like it, you know my feelings about the Az excerpt, so I can only assume it’s aggressive disrespect that has y’all coming in my inbox to say these things. Putting an exclamation mark or cute emoji in your ask doesn’t mask that.

Let me emphasize - I am done talking about them as a couple. I typically keep my blog positive, meaning I only discuss the ships, characters, etc. that I like. I don’t want to talk shit about this or any other ship, but I have because I’ve been goaded, and now I’m done! I will continue answering asks about the plot, nessian, individual characters, other ships, and almost anything else that is in my inbox right now.

Spill the tea. Don't worry about it being long XD

This has been in my ask box for a while now, and I keep forgetting to respond to some of my anons, so im sorry.... x))

This'll be a little debunk between Nart's feelings for Sak and Hina but first, LISTEN HERE

This isn't a breeding ground for discourse or shipping wars or whatever tf negativity you have going on, I just wanna ramble my thoughts. This is an innocent post and if you disagree with it, well--i really dont care :DD

Anw, here are my thoughts as to how different Naruto's feelings are for Sakura and Hinata

I just randomly thought of making this longass essay because apparently, there's been another "war" over on narutwt with NS vs. NH and ohmyGODDDDD, WHO CARESSSSS. SHUT THE FUCK UPPP PLEASEEE.

this shit should've ended in shippuden, I hate it here

If youre an nh fan, please I beg of you, let ppl ship ns if they want to, its really not that hard. It's so embarrassing seeing nh fans go rogue whenever they see an ns related post. Like please stop being rude to ns shippers, let ppl ship their drawings, who tf cares. Ur embarrassing the fandom ://

Okay so i think i wanna start off with how Nart fell for Sakura. They were kids. Kindergartners even. He saw Sakura as the "pretty, smart, popular girl" and like the attention deprived child that he is, he chose he wanted to be with her. It was a CRUSH. An innocent and childish one at that.

Did he love her? Yes. Was he in love with her? Debatable tbh. He was infatuated with her. It's a normal infatuation vs. real love type of shit.

I mean, he was too busy to even focus on himself and with the whole Sauce drama, so i doubt he even had the time to even sort out his own romantic feelings. I'm not even sure if his feelings for Sakura were really that deep rooted as what alot of fans claim it to be.

BECAUSE BECAUSE GETTHIS. If Naruto was really that in love with Sak, why didn't he introduce him to Minato when he was about to depart? If he was really that confident for his feelings for Sakura, then why didn't he share those thoughts to one the most essential things his mother imparted to him?

The only thing similar between Sakura and Kushina are their hot headedness. Even kishi himself admitted that scene with the girlfriend thingy was a herring. Even freaking Tsunade admitted that if Naruto were to be with someone as willful as him, they'd be butting heads all the time.

Do they have a special bond? Yes. Would they work out together as a couple? Yeah, as a bickering married one

And another thing, remember the fake confession scene? Sakura said "I love you" to Naruto. She said those words that Naruto himself has been "dying" to hear, so why didn't he get all ecstatic?

Because he knew she was lying!

Exactly!! He knew she was lying. He knew he'd never have a chance with her. He knew the extent of her feelings for Sasuke and respected it. He didn't act on it, he joked around with dates and what not but there was never any impactful romantic scene between them. Oh and shouldn't romantic scene have i dunno; mutual romance?

Theyre "the most developed ship" but Sakura has established mulitiple times that she was only in love with Sasuke. Narusaku was just as one sided as the other ships in shippuden but some of you aren't ready for that concersation.

Naruto would get rejected every damn minute or at every "moment" they had. How is that mutual??

They just had the upper hand because theyre mcs and they had the most screentime, let's be real

And what I absolutely hate the most about how people perceive Naruto's feelings for Sakura is that they see him as this pathetically in love, obsessed weirdo who only chose Hinata as a rebound or a second choice.

NEWS FLASH

PEOPLE MOVE ON. IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS

It's not rocket science, it's not some philosophical shit, it's healthy and normal and realistic.

Istg some diehard shippers are too detached from reality that they can't even grasp the concept of moving on from a crush.

They act as if Naruto didn't give a flying fuck for Hinata in the entire series or that he barely knew her name. I mean c'mon, it's self explanatory¿¿¿ He moved on. Same with Ino with Sasuke, they both moved on.

How👏is👏it👏that👏hard👏to👏understand

And I'd also like to compare the scenes with Naruto being rejected by Sakura wiith Naruto being rejected by Hinata.

Naruto gets rejected by Sakura - he gets beaten up - He laughs it off- He moves on

Naruto gets rejected by Hinata - crippling depression - looks like shit - loses all motivation - fights for the girl

Yeah, I'll leave that to you

I also see some say that Naruto needed a partner who could keep him in line and reprimand him for the stupid stuff he does.

Pft, like what? A mom?

What Naruto needs, as someone brash and acts on impulse time to time, is someone patient and understanding and considerate. Everything he didn't have growing up. He needs a partner, not someone who berates him for being all goofy and for being himself. Hinata in a way is kinda like a neutralizer.

Also, I think its important to remember that there was a TWO YEAR TIME SKIP AFTER THE WAR WHERE NARUTO AND HINATA CANONICALLY GREW CLOSER.

Man, none of this would have been up for discussion if Kishi just knew how to develop fucking romance between het couples. If we're being honest, sns would've made the most sense. Im not even kidding. Sns would've the only endgame couple that'd make sense. And this is coming from a person who loves NH xD

thus ends my ramblings :DD

I regret ever delving into the world of Naruto. Now I can't fucking escape
