i don't think so.

I do not care if the ship between the two rocks is more toxic than the shit between the triangle and the autistic man they are not real

4 An accidental brush of lips followed by a pause and going back for another, on purpose. ohoho Yes Please

The full moons shine on Ferelden as they do on Antiva, keeping their eternal watch. Two owls call back and forth through the branches, their voices beckoning memories of old superstition in Zevran’s mind. It makes him think of home, but lately home has competition. Hamal grins down at him from the branches above, laden in silver glow.

“Scared yet?” he asks.

Zevran had boasted earlier, recounting tales of climbing Chantry towers and palace rooftops, boldly ascending across their cobbled exteriors, high enough to touch clouds. Hamal had countered these with a simple dare: to climb to the top of one of the centuries-old spruce trees in the area, if he could brave it.

Fortunately he’d offered to go first.

Bravery doesn’t even come into the picture. Zevran finds it quite easy to follow him.

“Not even a little,” he replies with a smile, and he pulls himself higher. His arms are burning. But it’s soothed when Hamal smiles appreciatively at him.

The Warden returns to his climb, seeking footholds among the evergreen. He makes it look easy. He’s grown up on such tree climbing, giving Ashalle her share of panic over the years.

And Zevran likes seeing him like this: singularly focused, relaxed, and having fun. With Orzammar less than a day's journey away, Hamal rarely gets to enjoy himself lately. It’s so captivating—he’s so captivating—Zevran barely notices when they’ve reached the half-point, already over the treeline.

He only notices when they reach a difficult point in the climb, where the next branch is just a bit out of reach for him, and the trunk has grown narrower, giving less room to maneuver. The ground, for a moment, tilts, but this he is used to; he pushes past it, calming his breathing.

His fingers grasp the coarse texture of the bark, missing the mark again, and he lets out a little puff of air, frustrated—

Hamal leans down to help him up at the exact moment he drives forward, and they collide in a graceless press of faces. The soft touch of Hamal mouth drags across Zevran’s lower lip and jaw. Clumsy. At this height, it frightens him.

They are both agile enough that falling is a distant risk. But what if.

Hamal startles first. He trembles violently upon the branch above. He is hanging on by his legs, one hand braced against another part of the tree, and he grabs Zevran by his leather cuirass to secure him.

By the Maker, he is strong enough to just carry him up the tree himself. Zevran laughs at this thought, the brief jolt of adrenaline giving way to euphoria.

“Careful!” Hamal hisses.

“I’m fine!” Zevran says. “Ah, but how thrilling this is. Just air and branches between us and certain death!”

Giggling now in dizzy mirth, looks up at Hamal. “Did I worry you, my Warden?”

Hamal stares at him, silent for a moment. He grips the branches in his right hand, squeezing, then leans down, pressing a measured kiss against his lips.

It is the most delicate thing Zevran has ever received. A kiss balanced on moonlight and spruce.

It lasts a mere moment, but it feels like longer. A soft, brassy whistle hoots out from the forest, soon answered by its pair. When Hamal pulls back, Zevran sighs and leans his face against the tree trunk.

“Shall we go back down now?” Hamal asks him.

Zevran nods. “I am ready if you are.”

I never understood how Steven universe fans could ship lapis and Jasper

Like, Jasper was repeatedly, horrible, and abusive to lapis (and it was supposed to represent abusive relationships)

And let’s not forget, I highly doubt the trauma of being forcibly trapped down at the bottom of the ocean by lapis is ever going to leave jaspers mind

(Also I got to say lapis was one of the characters at the end of the show. I had a really hard time enjoying her as much as I did in the beginning)

I actually like that one for the same reason I like Billford and used to like Val/Angel...it's supposed to be toxic. They were mutually terrible to one other and their horrible relationship was interesting. It's fun to explore every angle; the trauma bonding, the highs, the lows, the incredibly complicated mixed up feelings. What they could have had in a different life.

You're in her DMs, I was trapped at the bottom of the ocean in a fusion with her for months while we both wrestled for control. We are not the same

Yaptime: Malachite [or japis?? (i think that's their ship name)]

i wanted to summarize what i think of jasper and lapis's toxic relationship in SU. they have a very complex, interesting dynamic that i wanted to yap abt. feel free to share your opinion as well! as a psychology nerd, these two are a topic i've wanted to evaluate for a while.

Malachite

at face value, malachite seems like a very powerful character. the fusion of a lapis, which are already arguably part of the most powerful gems out there with their hydrokinesis (water control), and jasper who is the "ultimate quartz, made completely perfect" according to peridot. being a fusion of such powerful gems would obviously make malachite one of the most powerful non-diamond characters, right? wrong

according to what garnet tells steven in Keeping It Together (season 2), a fusion is not just two beings put together. the stronger the connection between the two gems that are fused, the stronger the fusion will be. that's why alexandrite stopped malachite (with the help of the watermelon stevens ofc). alexandrite held up against malachite because pearl, garnet, and amethyst are much closer than lapis and jasper. malachite is naturally very powerful, which is why it was such a struggle for alexandrite. but malachite's true potential was never seen in the show. while some might argue we saw it when lapis finally gave up her resist against jasper, her and jasper were not close at all. no healthy connection was made while they were fused. so no, we didn't see malachite's full potential.

but why were jasper and lapis so toxic in the first place? while they were fused, lapis was using the water from the earth's ocean to keep jasper fused with her. this was to prevent jasper from being loose on earth to cause chaos or, more importantly to lapis, possibly hurt steven. jasper, on the other hand, had other plans. with a lapis, she would be stronger than ever. she didn't fully understand fusion the way we do at that time. she wanted to be stronger and more powerful.

they both "wanted" to fuse for different reasons. lapis wanted to protect steven, and also gained a sort of punching bag of a person. jasper wanted to be stronger to defeat the crystal gems. that's why they were so toxic. neither of them wanted to be with the other, they just wanted to use someone. They were both abusive to each other. lapis kept jasper bound to her for so long and jasper eventually used her for her strength in the end.

ANYWAYS thank you for reading today's yaptime. the majority of these will probably be helluva boss, but i wanted to address this while it was on my mind. i think my main topics will be helluva, maybe hazbin, and steven univers. they're my current obsessions i can't help it.
