#is there a ship name for the four of them?

[apoptoses]

Forget blenders and the cuck chair, here's a bunch of other things Armand did with Daniel in QotD that we don't think about enough:

Mounted giant telescopes on the roof of the apartment building they lived in and then moved out a few days later only to do it all again in a new place

Did the same thing but filling the apartment with computers and video game machines

Went to boxing matches

Collected specimens and microscopes and went to biology classes

Hung out on the stoop like normal new yorkers except at like three o clock in the morning

Went out with video cameras and interviewed randos on the streets

Watched videos of Armand reciting latin poetry into a camera for hours

Watched videos of Armand's hair growing in his coffin until Daniel got the heebie jeebies

Took planes to random places all night just for the sake of flying for hours on end

Shaved Daniel 'as lovingly as an old fashioned barber'

Bathed Daniel and then re-dressed him in dirty clothes, because who needs clean laundry when Baryshnikov is gonna be on stage in twenty minutes

Went treasure hunting in the Caribbean and found entire shipwrecks

Bought a random piece of property in South America and found an emerald mine

Bought yachts, speedboats, and not just one but four private jets

'Supervised' the measurements for Daniel's custom clothes and his shoes

Bought Daniel sports coats, robes, silk scarves, mink lined raincoats, jeweled cuff links, and a black suede cloak (which probably didn't help with Daniel's demands to be an actual vampire and not just cosplay as one)

Picked not only the fabric for Daniel's clothes at a the tailor but also picked what he'd wear every night once the clothes were ready, and then had fits if Daniel wore different socks that didn't go with the outfit

(said socks being silk socks, which fall apart after minimal wear, and which Armand could afford a hundred pairs of anyways)

Went out on a speedboat and stole the boats, guns, and money off drug dealers

Stole multiple Maseratis, apparently

'Recovered' lost works of the old masters aka went into some guy's house like it's Ocean's 11, drained his blood, and then took his art collection so Daniel could flip it at Sotheby's

Bought cruise ships

Bought entire restaurant chains

Bought entire hotel chains

Hacked through the jungle and visited Mayan ruins

Somehow took Daniel up to the peak of Annapurna, which is more dangerous to climb than Mt. Everest

Visited not just places in Europe and the US but also Tokyo, Bangkok, Cairo, Damascus, Lima, Rio, and Kathmandu just to name a few

Changed out of the white suit he picked Daniel up in in Chicago and into a black one on the plane just for the drama of it

Turned Daniel on the bed of one of those four private jets, where he almost certainly evacuated all of his mortal fluids and probably left a cleaning crew very confused and concerned

Brought Daniel a whacked out orphan half asleep in an armchair to feed on for his first kill because Daniel was tripping too hard on his new vampire vision to function

Made Daniel wear matching couple's costumes to the Halloween concert all his exes would be at, and where Daniel followed him around hanging onto his belt loops

Sheltered Daniel and Louis with his body when Akasha tried to blow shit up

Swapped out the paintings in Night Island every night while Daniel grilled Khayman about the ancient world

...probably a million other things which didn't make it into the book because Lestat's publishers didn't give him enough pages to montage all this shit (but that you can explore in fic anyways because the world is your oyster and nothing is too outrageous for the two of them ♥)

[winters-on-the-wing]

hey! so this post is really fucking stupid!

let’s break it down.

1. nobody is saying that queer ships are misogynistic because of the absence of women. but when you take ships like wolfstar and ESPECIALLY jegulus, you can see that the female characters who have brilliant chemistry and incredible dynamics with these male characters are being shoved aside for the sake of a stale, cliche-ridden, practically pornographic dynamic that’s little more than a dramatized dom/sub pornhub relationship. i’m not saying all mlm shippers do this, but a vast majority of wolfstar and jegulus content is just senselessly erasing women from the story entirely, purely for the sake of fetishizing gay men. the same gay men you CLAIM to care so much about.

2. the issue isn’t gay ships. i love gay ships. i am a jily shipper but i also think prongsfoot is brilliant. the issue is that female characters are being used as a scapegoat within these gay ships in the fandom. tonks is turned into a jealous idiotic schoolgirl so wolfstar can happen. lily is turned into a bitch so jegulus can happen. and don’t deny that because it does happen extremely often. don’t do the “nonono we love lily we just made her sapphic!!” because shoving her romantically with some rando she’s never talked to is not love. it’s trying to get her out of the way. and that’s the average attitude with these gay ships in relation to women, and THATS the misogyny problem. gay ships are great. gay ships can and should exist. but the problem is when women are constantly treated like inconveniences. they get no personality, no LOVE put into their characters. and i’m not saying you have to care about all women characters but don’t pretend that you care about women when you don’t.

3. not a single person that i’ve seen in this fandom dislikes gay ships because they’re gay. i hate wolfstar because remus annoys the shit out of me and he has no romantic chemistry with sirius whatsoever. i hate jegulus because it destroys james’ character by shipping him with a racist fascist bigoted slave owning idiot. none of those reasons have anything to do with the fact that they’re gay. so you’re just making up problems so you can bitch and moan about how oppressed you are for obsessing over boys kissing and shoving girls aside at every turn.

4. why is it only gay men that trans/nb people feel comfort in? i’m genderqueer myself and the character i find the most comfort in is minerva fucking mcgonagall. stop trying to hide behind labels as an excuse for your misogyny. it’s not cute. also did you ever consider that there are trans WOMEN who find comfort in female characters? no. because all you care about are men and masculine people. that’s very evident in this post.

5. and now for the stupidest point you’ve made on this entire post: that gay men are more interesting than all these “cis white women”! that’s the stupidest fucking bullshit excuse ive ever heard, especially considering that your source material is HARRY POTTER. you’re using canon as a reference here so i will be courteous and use canon as well, and then i will use fanon in order to show you that your point is null and stupid in both contexts.

let’s use our thinking caps for a second.

can you name a SINGLE relevant male character in harry potter who’s not cis?

…

oh okay. interesting.

can you name a relevant male character in harry potter who’s not white?

kingsley shacklebolt! yes! and?? oh, he’s the only one? right. right. and uh, is he involved in any of the gay ships you obsess over? no? oh gotcha okay.

now let’s look at the canon women in harry potter.

of course there’s not a single non-cis woman.

but when looking at relevant women who aren’t white? there’s cho, the patil twins, and technically lavender! it’s not much better, but the diversity is THERE where there’s almost none in the men. there is four times the diversity in women characters in harry potter. and yet you’re complaining about them being cis and white compared to the men.

and now let’s examine this from a fanon lens. see what’s widely headcanoned!

i myself am a james kinnie and i love that he has been widely headcanoned as a poc because i myself am a poc. but uh…anybody else? no? just james?

and oh! james is constantly reduced to a shallow rescuer trope or a borderline abusive daddy dom who’s only personality is how big and dumb and brutish and muscular he is? got it! that’s not a negative male poc stereotype that men of color are constantly trying to fight irl or anything! no way!

let’s look at the women!

who is widely headcanoned as poc?

dorcas, mary, and pandora are the big names that come to mind! though i personally also headcanon lily as poc in some aus!

look! poc! isn’t that the representation you claim to find comfort in? oh wait…you don’t pay any attention to these characters whatsoever except to make them therapists and caretakers for your male main characters? oh. okay.

so the idea that it matters to you whether the characters are “cis and white” is fucking bullshit. you just tacked those words on there to make yourself seem less misogynistic.

and don’t even talk to me about how the men are more interesting and fleshed out. lily has more canonical information about her than regulus, barty, and evan COMBINED. minerva mcgonagall’s lore is just as fleshed out if not MORE fleshed out than sirius’, james’, and remus’.

so yeah. you’re a goddamn misogynist and this fandom is misogynistic, and you guys are just getting worse and worse at hiding it and it’s frankly hilarious. yes you’re ALLOWED to like mlm ships. i’m not policing you.

but it pisses me off when you guys claim to love women so much but then shit on women every second you get, and blame WOMEN for every inconvenience. maybe you need to sit in your discomfort and accept that your taste is a bit or very misogynistic. instead of pushing it away and trying to blame everyone else.

I'm sorry to bring this up to you but a queer ship isn't inherently misogynistic. Prejudices towards women, following gender roles stereotypes and villainise femininity and female characters is.

First in line to criticise how fandom mistreats women and sapphics relationships but if you don't like a mlm fandom ship maybe you shouldn't be here at all.

NB and trans people find comfort in reading mlm ships because the depiction of those characters sometimes is way more complex and dynamic than a white cis fem archetypical female character could ever dream to be in published books, and since you aren't helping the community at all maybe you should let people enjoy what they like in peace.

buck and tommy and josh and eddie have weekly game nights together. just simple couple activities, double dates and such. they're innocent, light hearted nights. but josh has always felt something like looming tension between all of them.

josh knows eddie has had thoughts about buck, knows he's definitely had thoughts about tommy, has woken up in the middle of the night to eddie bucking his hips against the mattress and moaning their names enough times to know that eddie has plenty of thoughts. and he's pretty sure buck and tommy have whispered dirty things to each other while watching josh and eddie dance together in those dimly lit gay clubs they used to visit more frequently. he's pretty sure they're all on the same page about this but he's about to tear his damn hair out because no one's doing anything about it. they just keep having long, lust-filled looks over monopoly and connect four. so he does what eddie always accuses him of and he schemes.

it's 8 o'clock and they're hosting tonight. josh gets the drinks and makes the little platters and pays chris 20 dollars to ask if he can sleep over at a friend's house (which he finds out later he was already planning on doing anyway so now he's out 20 bucks and chris is lucky josh loves him). he makes eddie put on that pink button up that makes his arms look good and is very fun to take off (mi corazón, it's just buck and tommy, why am i not allowed to wear my sweatpants?" "they don't match the button-up" "okay so why am i wearing a button-up?"). he himself throws on his tightest pants and a ribbed polo (they get a little distracted and let their chicken burn but buck always brings over an extra dish anyways so they carefully deposit it into the trash and continue groping each other.)

when buck and tommy finally knock on their door, he doesn't miss the sharp breath that buck sucks in as he looks eddie up and down. he also doesn't miss the way buck's eyes refocus when tommy's hand comes around to pinch buck's elbow a little. they share a glance and tommy bites his lower lip.

they exchange their normal pleasantries as always, rib each other, talk about their shifts, a few hilarious calls, the delicious food buck brought over and politely ignore the burnt smell coming from the kitchen. josh makes a point to let his hand linger on tommy's shoulder for seconds too long and watches eddie's throat bob as he swallows. then the games begin.

it's some card game tonight that josh is half paying attention to. he decides when eddie brings back the third round of beers for the night that it's now or never. he suggests a light game of truth or dare. ("what are we, russo? 12?" "what are you, diaz? chicken?")

they start easy ("who was your first guy crush, buck?" "hm, probably my gym teacher from middle school, mr. hudgens" "buck's old person fetish strikes again." buck and eddie throw pillows at each other for a second, tommy feigns offense but pets buck's hair with a sickeningly sweet smile, josh is mentally high fiving himself.) he tries to gently guide buck and eddie away from childish dares to more adult truths. he locks eyes with tommy while buck and eddie argue over how many marshmallows buck could hypothetically fit in his mouth (not exactly what josh had in mind but they're going in the right direction here).

he knows he's been figured out and for a second thinks tommy is about to slap his thighs and say "well im beat, let's go before he can try to seduce my partner any more" but tommy squints his eyes, then raises his brows as if to ask for confirmation, and when josh nods, tommy licks his lips and nods back, turning back to watch the love of his life smile at him with spit and sugar falling out of his mouth (the answer was 20 marshmallows for those keeping score).

tommy lets josh guide them, but aids by steering the questions and dares in a leading direction and kissing at buck's neck every so often to keep buck flushed and blushing. josh decides to ramp it up when eddie chooses truth for the first time the whole game and josh pushes his foot up against eddie's leg and asks "what's the most recent sex dream you've had?"

eddie stutters and shakes his head. josh doesn't think buck realizes he's leaning forward or that tommy's hand is gently massaging his thigh. tommy's gaze flickers to josh with a nervous expression ("did we push too far? was it too much, too quick?")

"you don't have to answer, babe," except josh knows eddie, "you know, if it's too much of a challenge, of course, you can always skip it."

eddie's posture straightens and he eyes josh up a bit. it's a challenge, as always, a threat, a proposition, a loving exchange of harshness.

eddie clears his throat (good boy, josh thinks to himself, he'll tell eddie that later) and starts speaking. "well, obviously you were there."

"anyone else?" tommy asks, trying hard to sound bored and a little patronizing. (josh kinda wants to suck his dick about it, he knows eddie does too because he stutters a little and shakes his head and starts over).

"obviously, you were there, josh. of course. um- and, you know it was just a dream but-"

out of the corner of josh's eye, tommy starts to kiss buck's neck again. buck tilts his head to give him more room, closing his eyes and gasping when josh assumes tommy sinks his teeth in a little. he doesn't look, he's too busy watching eddie watch them.

"uh-" eddie starts again, and josh takes that opportunity gently run his fingertips along the back of eddie's hairline, which always gets him purring.

josh is starting to think maybe eddie needs a little push, so he leans in close and bites his ear, turning his soft traces in eddie's hair to a firm tug in buck's direction. he points, "was he there, baby?"

eddie nods, cheeks flushed red, "buck and tommy," his knee jerks and his legs fall open, "they were both- and we were all-"

tommy's hand moves from buck's thigh up to palm him through his jeans, buck's eyes are half-lidded and glazed over as he watches eddie struggle to explain.

eddie looks over to josh, finally, and josh doesn't know what good deed he's done to deserve the look eddie gives him but he'll thank whatever god deemed him worthy of it.

eddie whispers low and quiet, just for them, "baby, you know i wouldn't- you know you're it-"

josh kisses him sweetly, trying to say "you don't have to explain, you don't have to justify anything when you're with me, we can love each other and love other people and come home to each other every day. our house can just be filled with love, not obligation or rules. just let yourself enjoy this, you're so beautiful when you enjoy yourself, you're so beautiful when you let yourself be loved."

but that's a lot of emotion and there are far too many things to say that he just doesn't have the vocabulary for and he thinks that if he tries to say any more than three words, he'll burst into tears and not in the sexy way. so instead he rubs his thumb over eddie's cheek and says, "i know, love."

eddie nods and looks back to tommy, "i think it's buck's turn, now, right?"

buck, dazed out of his mind, wrinkles his forehead, "huh?" is all he gets out while tommy continues his attack on his neck.

"truth or dare, baby." tommy supplies.

buck smiles, "jesus, okay, so we're doing this. uh, dare."

eddie gets on his knees and shuffles forward until their nose to nose, he briefly puts a hand on tommy's neck and there's a small exchange that passes between them. something like permission. josh makes a mental note to revisit that. tommy bites buck's ear once last time and looks up at eddie through his lashes, resting his chin on buck's shoulder.

"what's it gonna be, eds?"

"kiss me."

josh watches buck and eddie take out seven plus years of tension and emotion on each other, biting each other's lips and digging fingernails into each other's waists. tommy pets buck's hair and rubs his back until buck turns and kisses him quick and dirty, whimpers out "daddy" which makes eddie's jaw drop before leaning back and out of the way so eddie has full access to his partner. buck beckons josh over while eddie and tommy wrestle each other on the ground. he slides between his legs easily and when josh tastes him he suddenly understand why tommy's always walking around, looking like he's got his heart outside of his body. they get lost in each other, the four of them. they get lost in their mouths, skin, and heat; lost in their love and friendship and romance.

they collapse together on the floor of eddie and josh's living room.

"so, uh, game nights?" tommy comments, tracing over buck's ribs.

"hm, yeah i like this game." josh adds.

"same time next week, right?" buck turns to face josh and eddie, but josh gives the floor to eddie.

eddie licks his lips, "can't wait. but, uh, you guys are hosting next time."

I was just existing™ and I got an idea:

Wars, Sky, and Four bonding over finding (some) of their villains hot.

Time would be included with Time/Dark but he is currently married so not today. Maybe Wars/Dark instead? Or I could just make them have an open relationship of sorts Ig.

Outside of Link/Ganondorf (which includes most of the chain outside of Four, Wind, and TECHNICALLY Sky but Demise is basically Ganondorf), Sky/Ghirahim, Wars/Volga or Wars/Ghirahim (Cia/Wars is mostly written in a not ship way so excluding it), and Four/Shadow AKA Vio/Shadow is the most popular villain ships.

...So why not have them be gremlins over it?

Four: I'm married to someone who tried to kill me a lot, and who burned down a village with no remorse.

Time: Why would you date someone so evil?

Sky: I wish I could date the guy who kidnapped my Zelda and managed to revive Demise...

Time: ...Are you two possesed? And aren't you in a relationship with Sun already?

Warriors: I wish I could kiss the man who gave me a permanent burn mark on my hand and that worked with the woman that I still have nightmares of.

Time: ...Never mind.
