#in a good way I’m having fun

[etcseacow]

How do Moe and Gil handle each others lower / harsher moods? Both of them are mentally ill as shit. (If this topic isn't something you'd like to touch on feel free to skip it but I think there's a LOT of gooood hurt/comfort opportunity in this ship)

Oh they absolutely are.

They both have poor self esteem and struggle with loneliness. Interestingly, while Moe tends to become very pessimistic, Gil actually tries to be optimistic. Even if Gil gets upset, 5 seconds later he’s often trying to plaster some kind of cheer on the situation.

Of course there’s a point where he’s literally just:

Meanwhile, Moe gets mean when he’s upset. He’s always got that little nasty voice in his head. It makes him feel bad about himself but also makes him want to make others feel just as bad as he does. A part of him is aware of it and tries to ignore it, but sometimes it’s hard to think rationally when you’re upset.

Early on, when Moe accidentally takes out his irritation on Gil, Gil attempts to accept it as his own fault. He’s used to having a partner that indicates they don’t like him because of his screwups. The behavior in itself reminds him of his failed marriage and that distresses him. Since Gil likes to pretend things are fine, it’s often hard for Moe to catch onto. He def feels bad when Gil is visibly upset tho and awkwardly (but genuinely!) apologizes.

Much later (probably with the confidence boost of the alt persona and not having to deal with Shirley by this point) Gil absolutely does not tolerate cruel words to be thrown at him. It becomes a unique dominance because Moe is almost never challenged when he gets angry. When he throws a fit in his bar and baseball bats booze bottles, his customers bolt out of the tavern. He points a shotgun at his friends, they just kinda drunkenly let the whole threat roll off of them like it’s not a big deal. No one really holds him accountable for his temper and its consequences, at best it’s him who occasionally considers dialing it back.

But Gil basically goes “excuse me?” and it reminds Moe to analyze the way he’s acting, realize he’s just being plain mean to someone he cares about. More often than not this actually startles Moe and makes him upset in the opposite direction (aka Niagara Falls). To which Gil becomes more agreeable to comforting him rather than confronting him. Particularly because the whole temper problem Moe struggles with stems from deeper issues.

Both men also have depression and suicidal tendencies. Gil mainly experiences the worst of it right after his divorce and it gets much better after he gets together with Moe. It’s more situational than anything. Moe’s own outrage on Gil’s behalf is a big help in rationalizing that not everything is always his fault.

However, Moe deals with very long term depression. It’s rooted in his upbringing and poor relationships. Gil learns how greatly this impacts Moe’s moods and as he gains his own confidence, he starts trying to unravel Moe. Moe does not like to think about his childhood because he knows it makes him upset.

Gil and Moe actually get in few arguments, they’re very similar so there’s lacking conflict, but this topic is an argument starter and it’s one Gil will push on even if he knows Moe will react badly. But inevitably it’s talked through and Moe ends up more interested in being hugged by Gil than being mad at him.

Both tend to revert to touch tactics when comforting; for Moe it’s because it’s natural response, for Gil it’s because he knows Moe is very receptive to it.

Aka, Anakin has a very ill-timed ~realization~

This is my contribution for Sub Anakin Fest [@anakinfest], which I actually didn’t sign up for but decided to butt in on anyway! As such, this doesn’t correspond to any prompts :)

[sunnibits]

decided to join in on @quezify’s eggtober again this year as a little art warmup and I actually ended up really enjoying it!! it’s obviously way outside of my usual comfort zone so I’m very happy that I was able to create an end result that I’m proud of :)

I’m a simple soul

I see a hot blooded trauma fueled man with an ego and daddy issues become an unwilling single mother who then steps up after multiple trials and errors to grow into a proper parent that fights tooth and nail for his daughter AND face said daddy issues head on for the betterment of his child thus reconciling and healing his own relationship with his father and bringing an enthusiastic grandpa into the mix

and I crumble

Was always worried about the angst of unrequited love, had never realized the sheer amount of comedic potential that it has.

Imagine one-sided Superbat where Clark is fully aware that Bruce has a crush on him but is being his repressed self about it, and Clark is just like, “I’m not gonna touch that :) you’re going to figure that out for yourself, buddy, and in the meantime, I’m just going to have a good time and be best friends with you as you inevitably pull yourself together enough to either fall out of love or to confess :) and I’ll just let you down gently because I care about you :)” but he absolutely 100% is using it to his advantage in the meantime. His puppy dog eyes had never been so effective before. He’s gotten out of Monitor Duty three times in the past month.

I’m beginning to think I should start keeping a list of the fandoms I accidentally stumbled into at some point before binging fics for a month straight and having it take over the ao3 reading portion of my life. Like yes, the last 27 pages of my ao3 history ARE of this fandom I knew nothing about a month ago, as a matter of fact.

Something that really sets Wille and Simon apart from other queer ships is that when we say their love language is physical touch, IT REALLY IS PHYSICAL TOUCH. And I’m not speaking of just sex. Over the course of the show, the amount of touching between them is astronomical. And that’s really something rarely seen in queer media. There may be moments here or there, but often times there’s a lack of physical contact unless it’s for “the plot”. Wille and Simon feel like a real couple in the way they’re always physically reaching out for each other.

I love pjo fandom because we are watching this show and people are like “wow these kids’ parents sure do suck”
