#in my dreams they can be together again

[midorikawawas]

AusSwiss goes so hard, even more from Austria's P.O.V because what do you mean you betrayed the first and only friend you had, proceeded to turn into one of the greatest empires and create a Facade so different from the little boy you were (and still are deep inside) which only made Switzerland feel more alienated to the person you now pretend to be.

Yet even with all that and knowing you have a big part of the blame for the way your relationship with Switzerland just rotted in the worst way possible, you kept pinning for thousands of years and use excuses like randomly going to a supermarket you knew Switzerland frequents only to have a chance to see him again.

You then try to play the elegant, well off gentleman to show him you're finally a capable, well put together man, ah but the mask cracks a little when you see Switzerland showing that characteristic and well hidden kindness of his to someone else and wish for that to be your place once more, because only by sharing a meal together you're both going crazy over the unsaid things that wished to be let out.

I love them so much it makes me SICK.

spending the holidays alone in the city with only your coworker, who also happens to be your ex, as company

coming out of the opera building after a night at the ballet. christmas bells are ringing in the streets, and the first snow of the season lands a crown of snowflakes in your hair. your laughs are brighter than the stars above, who twinkle as they ponder over how you two could’ve ever fallen out of love

I know I've been on about this for a while now and I'm being a hater but you're telling me SydCarmy was "always meant to be platonic" even though there are two seasons of writing making use of tried-and-true explicitly romantic tropes, themes and writing signals, and SydLuca is going to be romantic because...he was nice to her on screen for a few minutes?

I don't even care if people ship SydLuca, or if they just prefer it, but you can't honestly tell me that you believe Carmy was always meant to be a friend but Luca is an obvious love interest.

Just because Syd and Carmy haven't kissed or confessed their love to each other doesn't mean that isn't very obviously the direction this show is going. The Bear has already shown you who is endgame. It has shown you every episode of the show so far.

Honestly I really don't think The Bear fanbase understands this show or cares about these characters or the story being told here, which is unfortunate because this show is shockingly well-written in comparison to most shows right now, and we should be so grateful for it but all we're doing is complaining that the writers led us on by not making a ship canon fast enough. It's just. Sad.

Idk much about El Rich, but I heard from someone that he doesn't like that much about competition with teams (?) or something like that, so that's why he's not in the event like dedsafio. But he's still a tryhard

At first I'm afraid of El Rich and Farfa about they opinions about Dream, well since farfadream stuff happens I feels so much relief and that's remain El Rich. BUT I didn't expect El Rich invite Dream to play a game (?) and then El Rich praises Dream like?? That's one of the biggest good day of my life

I think El Rich return the favor (?) or both of them already planning behind the scenes thing? Because after this El Rich is in Dream video about live translation, wearing George skin and joking about colorblind like what??? Omg??! El Rich who doesn't like event in teams and rarely in others content video (?) but join in Dream video???

Once again I said it that I don't really know about El Rich that much but what he is doing is so wholesome to me

Maybe I'm parasocial or something but imagine El Rich is like Grian, (don't get me wrong, I love Grian, he's so amazing) that you don't know about his opinion about your fav cc, of course you want it to be positive but feeling intimated at the same times

So yeah I respect El Rich after this

And then squidcraft 3 happen, El Rich praises Sapnap too, like you know??? He even tell Farfa to help him call Sapnap and Shadoune so four of them can have a talk, about how proud El Rich is to Sapnap, how good he learns spanish that's make him remember about Shadoune first learning spanish years ago and declare that Sapnap is Shadoune 2

Don't mind me screaming in my bedroom for a hour

Because he doesn't have to do that? Like he can tell him privately on dm or discord but no, El Rich want to said it publicly about how good Sapnap learn spanish is, like he is really appreciate it Sapnap want to learn

Because imo if you get praises from El Rich it's like get a praises from Technoblade or DanTDM because El Rich is like big cc in minecraft right?

So I respect El Rich and whenever he interact with dteam in positive way it add my lifespan

*shoves 🎤 in your face* Do you think Tsunade, Oro and Jiraya ever explored each other's bodies, before the fall out???

<leans into mic> yes. probably.

you’re telling me three teenagers to twenty somethings who lived through two back to back wars with weird interpersonal sexual tension DIDN’T fuck at least once??? not even once????

though i imagine it’s also possible they didn’t and all that tension stayed there in their ribs, a bit like a rot. the sannin to me feel like foils for team 7 that never overcome their personal issues and find connection and growth through each other.

in a way, them never exploring each other’s bodies is a part of Their Problem. they could not seek solace or support in each other in anything that wasn’t fighting. which in turn caused them to isolate themselves from each other, and inevitably caused each of them to leave the village. the will of fire is defined by the chains of love and care you have for your comrades making you stronger. tsunade, orochimaru and jiraiya do not allow themselves to be vulnerable with each other. so they lose their will of fire and their trauma controls them.

i think maybe if they Had explored each others bodies, they would have been able to express a certain level of vulnerability together that would have kept them from falling out.

all this is to say, did the fuck in canon? probably not. in fluffy clouds?

wrestling fic writers!!

i have decided to be the change i wanna see, so lets do a nice little thing for each other, as a community full of incredible and talented writers. yes this is writer specific only, but thats cause thats where the main problem of people not interacting with creative works lies in this fandom as far as i can tell and have seen people talking about it especially in the last couple of months

if you read this, please add links to your written works. it can be just a single fic youre really proud of, your writing blog, your writing tag, your ao3 account, anything where your works can be found

and if you leave your link here, PLEASE check out someone else that has left their works, and interact with them. leave them a comment, even just a kudos, REBLOG their fic, etc. interacting is the keyword i want to emphasize here, along with building a sort of a masterpost of where to find people writing in this fandom

and if you are not a writer, youre still highly encouraged to interact with this post and share it and show love to the writers in this fandom, obviously!! i think that should go without saying, but adding it in anyways

a bit more about my vision and resources and such under the read more, but thats the gist of it. happy linking and please be kind and supportive to each other!! 💜

nobody is too big or too small to add their things on this list. if you write and post anything in this fandom whatsoever, be it fics or drabbles or headcanons, any companies or any kind of ships or reader inserts or any content whatsoever no matter how 'dead dove dont eat' or hell even if its just meta, we welcome all here and nobody can say that one thing is less valid than another. just please tag your content accordingly, especially if theres content warnings, and feel free to mention what you write, who you write, any info you wish to leave that would help people before they click on your links. but even so, that should not and hopefully will not deter people from interacting, no matter what it is. someones trash is another ones treasure, i promise you

and unless the amount gets really overwhelming, im personally going to be checking out everyone that leaves something here. unless it squeaks me out, but even then, i'll spread the word. and i just wish as many people as possible will do the same, and not just use this as a potential board to only get eyes on their stuff. ofc thats also the point, but you should give as much, if not more, than you get. we need to be kind and supportive of one another (besides, from personal experience, if you show love to someone else, they are more likely to do it back than without you taking the first step, so... pay it forward)

as for resources, heres a few links that should be helpful in leaving comments and feedback. of course everyone does their own thing and no comment is too big or too small to leave, but for those who need them. if you have anything you'd like added to this list, dont hesitate to get in touch or drop it in the post yourself!!

kudos html

dont know how to comment? easy solutions

a quick hot guide to commenting (by yours truly)

an overall guide to appreciating fanfic writers

and just in general.. leave people comments. leave them asks about their projects. just go over and gush about their work. i know it sounds embarrassing but writers love nothing more than to hear that someone likes what they are doing. if you find a fic that hasnt been updated in forever, comment on it. it might just be the spark the author needs to continue. while kudos and likes are nice, and just as valuable to some, its definitely in the words the people leave for them that matter the most. im not saying this to put pressure on anyone, its just how it is, and i feel like unless people are writers themselves, and even then sometimes, thats just hard to grasp, especially if the writer is a smaller and less popular one who doesnt get a lot of traffic in the first place

i think thats all. just be nice and considered to everyone, reblog peoples works, this post with others add ons and so forth. and if i find anyone talking shit here or at other writers for something they share, you'll be blocked and im probably taking your kneecaps. be fucking nice. we are all struggling here and we need to stick together

happy sharing and commenting 💜💜

so no one was going to tell me if i got literally one episode further tenax drops that he’s the one who saved scorpus from his mom’s pimp AND that he’s intimately familiar with scorpus’ dick when he was younger. guys. guys.

So I'm currently reading the Lucifer comics and if, as fandom fanons, Dream and Lucifer definitely have a history, well… Let's put it this way. 

If most of the 20th century, with all its wank and wonderlust, was down to Dream being imprisoned and Desire/Despair ruling men's hearts and minds uncontested. 

Then the Mediaeval period is down to a Dreamingstar summer fling. Because all the tomfuckery that went down then, is the only way to describe Lucifer and Dream (at his peak ‘brat prince’) and the cosmic energy that dalliance would generate.

im really normal about them <- lie

[rafyki]

I was thinking about this scene in the first episode

And of course it's meant to foreshadow everything that happens with Rosé, right? He's just joking here, of course, and in fact he backtracks right away after saying it

I think it's so funny that just a few days after he has this conversation with Ama, Jack meets his potential rich girlfriend and doesn't bother to even look at her twice.

But anyway, yes of course this foreshadows what happens later with Boss forcing him to marry Rosé, but at the same time, if you think about it.

The same day he meets Rosé, Jack also meets Joke - so, he also meets a potential rich boyfriend.

And yes, i know, when they meet again five years later and get together, Joke isn't actually rich anymore, but!! That's not the point! The point is that Joke is still a rich boy who helped Jack!! And, also, now that Joke is on good terms again with his family, we can assume they'll also help him financially, so!!

Anyway, yes. Jack got to have his rich boyfriend (soon to be husband!) in the end, and I'm very happy for him

Thinking about Wish again (listened to the song) and how insanely neutered the film was.

Remember when killing off Elsa's parents was a huge emotional impact? Remember when Eugene got stabbed? When Wreck-It-Ralph had...take your pick?

What happened to that?

Disney had their gumption back for a minute. Then they--wait, never mind, I figured it out, it's YOU AGAIN.

Right there.

Or a few minutes earlier, rather. When Elsa saves the empty castle and city from being destroyed by the terrible wave created from the destruction of her family's evil legacy. That was it. That, right there.

The sanitization. The reluctance to do anything huge. The moment whatever focus group, whatever executive, looked at the screeing and said "No, take out the destroyed buildings, we can't have a downer ending in this film! The kids will be sad at the sight of buildings falling!", and from that moment on, it was nothing but trash.

But it can still be seven shades of inconvenient.

[someobscurereference]

ive been rereading your ffxv fic "im trying hard to take it back" for literally four years now. please end my suffering and tell me how gladio feels. please. PLEASE. (but only if u want ofc)

(fic) Short answer: Gladio feels insane guilt and spends a lot of his life trying to make this up to Prompto. In the process, they deepen their connection as friends and do begin a relationship probably around the one-year mark of endless darkness. <3

Longer answer: (implications of abuse/violence tw but no worse than in the fic itself; just what others assume to be true even if it's not in the context of this specific fic)

Gladio is a secret romantic at heart who has always envisioned meeting his soulmate, but he's also duty-bound and duty comes first. So even though he reads romance books (amongst other types of books too) and indulges in his head a bit as many people do, he's often put his duty to the crown first and foremost in his mind. He also didn't imagine his soulmate was anyone on this trip and thought perhaps the person he may have been fated to meet died in the assault of Insomnia. Even if they were a refugee, they can't be a priority to him at this moment. His priority has to be Noctis.

Prompto has obviously grown on him over the course of their road trip, but there are aspects of them that don't 100% mesh (as is true with every realistic relationship). That said, Gladio never in a hundred years would want this moment of (understandable but out of line) frustration and anger in the wake of Luna and Altissa to be a permanent mark on Prompto's face. He's genuinely horrified and disgusted with himself for a long time after this and spends most of his life trying to make it up. He feels like a dirtbag about it.

That said, Prompto runs away from him in this moment and they need time to calm down, just as the fic shows. Noctis goes after Prompto, just like in canon. Prompto falls off the train and has his Despair Arc just like in the DLC, now with the added despair of "well, in addition to being a clone, my soulmate hates me. And in addition to the mark of inhumanity on my wrist (barcode), I have a giant hand print of him literally Shoving Me Away on my face. Forever."

Aranea: Well, do you want to die about it. Or do you want to live.

Prompto, eventually like in canon: Live, I guess. But it will be excruciating.

Aranea: That's what living is. We do it anyway. Your friends love you. Get off the floor.

He fights his way through his issues and gets rescued like in canon. Gladio probably tries to talk to him when they all catch up again, trying to apologize, and Prompto tells him to hold off on that for later.

Then, of course, Noctis is eaten by the crystal and "later" becomes much, much later as they evacuate and try to survive in eternal darkness. (Though they also can't Not think about it because it's a giant hand print. On Prompto's face. And every person they meet has Something To Say about it, for better or worse, whether they knew Prompto before or not. Prompto cannot escape it, and when Gladio is not doing Crown Duties he feels he must do in Noct's absence, he's with Prompto, so he also Cannot Escape It either. Even when the person speaking is unaware that Gladio left that mark. It's almost worse when they don't know, but when they see it's Gladio, who is such a big guy who seemingly hit Prompto and left that permanent mark there, some of them get nasty to him and some back off out of fear. Both are horrible. The guilt is eating him alive.)

Eventually, enough time passes as the dust settles that they do Talk About It. Gladio apologizes sincerely, for the 500th time. Prompto's like, "Well. It's not like you could have known that this would be The One Time it happened." And then cracks a joke about their soulmate mark being a Prompto's hand print on Gladio's ass from a butt slap in another life, which does help the tension somewhat. (The more Gladio tries to apologize, the more Prompto grows sick of hearing it, so they just have to move on and keep going, as he's learned to do.)

They grow closer over time, especially because there's not a lot of people who have survived to this point and even less later on. They do get together romantically, both because they do like the idea of soulmates (for different reasons) and also because they're living out of each others pockets for years, so there's an affection and dependency that develops there. Also, teenage Prompto always thought Gladio was really handsome and teen Gladio thought Prompto was cute and sincere for a pipsqueak.

When they are out together on dates in normal settings surrounded by strangers after the light returns, Gladio will receive dirty looks for the rest of his life from strangers who see the hand print on Prompto's face and immediately (correctly) assumes it was out of anger rather than a funny accident or something. (Edit: Some people will assume there is a funny story attached. Gladio will not know what to say to this. Prompto will play along.) He will learn to live with this. Prompto is really grateful Gladio is with him despite everything.
