Cub might not be the most āœØaestheticāœØ builder, but he's fantastic at building places with a story. Making them feel lived-in.
Like, some of his new Hermit Permit Office additions: the escape hatches for Grian and himself, the Protocol book, the "Motivate, Innovate, Deriviate, Decorate" sign in his own office... it's so good.

The alenoah appeal to me is the fact that it didn't happen, they never got together and it can only be a passing thought of what could have been.
Their relationship failed before it could even sprout, maybe it is that way on purpose. What might have happened if Alejandro kept Noah around? Sure, he's just a teammate and Alejandro could get rid of him anytime, but maybe he's becoming too fond of the guy lately, and the fact that Alejandro's first instinct on overhearing Noah is to feel hurt rather than... anything else.
Alejandro probably noticed his own behavior, and he'd be terrified. Warm feelings for his competition, for a guy no less. It would be a scandal! Noah has to go, better now than later. Besides he has a thing going on with Heather, a true equal to him. Noah is his acquaintance at best...
He never really had thoughts on Noah, he's just some loser, who doesn't seem to bother doing anything... which pisses him off a little bit but he can't help but respect his attitude, he wished he could care less like Noah. Whenever he looks into Noah's eyes, he only sees boredom but the moment he returns his gaze, Alejandro can feel his skin crawl. Noah's eyes are like pins and poke holes at him, he feels naked. Alejandro might as well be lying on an operating table with Noah dissecting him with his eyes alone.
And a one-liner came out of his mouth. Acceptance.
His words stings a lot for some reason. Betrayal.

Phineas and Ferb fascinates me from a structural standpoint. I'll admit I haven't watched the show front to back, but I've caught the odd episode here and there and I certainly get the gist of it.
The first time I saw P&F it seemed charming but unremarkable, the second and probably third time it became obvious that it was a clever but formulaic show. At some point it clicked. Children's shows are usually formulaic, Dee Dee will destroy Dexter's invention, Elmer Fudd will fail to hunt the Wabbit, He-Man will defeat Skeletor, and Sisyphus will roll that boulder up that hill. Phineas and Ferb asks not just that we imagine Sisyphus happy, but that we imagine that he is ecstatic to see that boulder roll down the hill.
Where the status quo is an unspoken rule of older cartoons it is the explicit law of the P&F universe. There is a roadmap to every episode, you probably already know it but I will spell it out regardless. Phineas will say the phrase "I know what we're gonna do today" thus kicking off their project for the episode. Candace will try and fail to get them "busted". There will be a musical number. Meanwhile Doofenshmirtz will have made an -inator that Perry will be called upon to destroy. Perry will get caught, Doofenshmirtz will explain his plan, Perry will escape, destroy the -inator and the ensuing chaos will clean up Phineas and Ferb's backyard shenanigans just in time for their mom to get home. Ferb says something at the very end, often his only line in the whole episode. The end.
There are stock lines that must be said. "I know what we're gonna do today" "I wonder where Perry is" "Busted" "šŸŽµDoofenshmirtz Evil IncorporatedšŸŽ¶". The show doesn't just have a cartoon status quo, the universe operates off of the laws of cartoon status quo to the extent that characters actively notice when the cycle doesn't complete correctly. The characters seemingly know that their world operates on cartoon physics, but to them it's just physics. In P&F a giant whirlwind carrying away a giant backyard amusement park is as natural as gravity.
Candace's place as the character who knows this is all insane must be a tortuous existence considering the whole world is conspired against her. Not out of a cosmic meanness but a deep thematic kindness. Candace is the only character whose intent is to cause purposeful harm and the universe will not let her get away with it.
Truly this is one of the most unerringly kind shows I've ever seen. It is unreal how much faith it puts into wordplay, running jokes, and raw absurdity to carry itself while never stepping into the realm of cartoon cruelty.
You know cartoon cruelty. It's why Tom gets punished for Jerry's actions and why the Trix rabbit can never eat his own damn cereal. At its best cartoon cruelty manifests as Ed, Edd n Eddy or the Looney Tunes short Duck Amok where there is catharsis in seeing the characters hoisted by their own petard. At its worst you get CatDog which is so intensely cruel to the character of Cat that I can't comprehend what the writers were going for.
The confident lack of irony is part of what makes Phineas And Ferb work. The show is a parade of cartoon cliches and dad jokes and it never it never winks at the viewer or lampshades how silly this is. It just has absolute faith that the corniest jokes ever really are that funny. And so they are. I actually laugh out loud every time they do the "Aren't you a little young for this?" "Yes, yes I am" bit. Maybe it's the delivery, maybe it's just the confidence in the bit. Probably a bit of both. I am smiling to myself just thinking of this dumb running joke.
But what this all amounts to is what every bit of fandom wankery amounts to. I am of course talking about shipping. For my money the best bit in the show is the romantic framing of Doofenshmirtz and Perry's rivalry. This is where the show's cartoon logic and unrepentant kindness synthesize perfectly. The homoerotic undertones of the spy/supervillain dynamic are an extremely tired observation and are usually only emphasized in an ironic sense to poke fun at pieces that never intended the gay subtext. P&F flips this joke by not being even a little bit ironic about it, but still adhering to the unspoken nature of the gag.
The end result is that Perry and Doofenshmirtz's status as a romantic couple is tacitly understood to be part of the shows status quo, but never commented on. The world of P&F is too inherently kind to be homophobic (homophobia being a key component of the joke) but it still has a joke shaped hole to fill. So it does the funniest possible thing and fills the hole with nothing. The joke is the lack of a joke. The expectation of a joke that is met with a shrug from the show's own internal logic. And that's really funny. An evil scientist and a platypus are in a loving relationship that happens to also be a hero/villain rivalry. Don't worry about it. It's not the weirdest thing happening in the tri state area I promise.

i love you giants with hands too cold to hold tinies comfortably. i love you giants that are terrified of stinky morning breath. i love you giants that cannot sleep anywhere near their tiny(ies) because they snore too loud or roll around. i love you giants that can't make themselves comfortable when they're around creatures smaller than them. i love you giants that have panic attacks when they see something scramble on the floor. i love you giants that think they're too hideous and monstrous to be loved. i love you giants that can't speak for fear of showing their teeth. i love you giants that hate eating in front of tinies. i love you giants that are too self aware. i love you giants

yesterday, Pete kept throwing pics at me and the guy next to me kept catching them and ended up with three and I was like... you sure you need all of them buddy? but then he caught one of the balloon baubles and spend about 7 songs trying to deflate it so he could take it home and I was like whatever. People do strange things.
There were also kids (7th grade?) in the front row and pete made sure they got his setlist after by personally peeling it off and not giving it to local security but to his team to give to them, it was so sweet. When he spotted them he also said to get them a shirt and made sure whoever gives out those shirts knew who he meant (he said "you got em? right here?" to someone clearly off stage) and then he was like "then you can go to school tomorrow and say I got a fucking tshirt too... but maybe don't say fucking" and patrick wandered over and just laughed at him and pete was like "whatever I don't teach 7th grade I don't know"
Pete is so amazingly focused on the crowd, like he noticed someone dressed as a banana five rows in and he's always scanning to make sure folks are okay. It truly upsets me when people say he looks like he's not having a good time. I've never seen a smile as bright as his whilst simultaneously handling a fire throwing bass and keeping an eye on the crowd.
band of my absolute heart.

Reincarnation AU
Poor Mom of Triplets Rodimus so Exhausted. Luckly the Lost Lighters have heard the phrase "It takes a vilage to raise a child." Suprisingly Whirl is up there in compatition for most beloved uncle with Drift. Seriously who knew the Psychocopter was really good with bitties.
It's probably a good thing since Roddy wasn't the only one to fall to the Reincarnation shenanigans. He was merely the first. When Drift, Ratchet and Megatron all fall pregnant the call back to Cybetrton reveals Optimus, Starscream, and Prowl are all greatly gravid.
[Meanwhile somewhere off stage Tarn is feeling Thingsā„¢ļø. He kept his array pure for Lord Megatron The Cause. And somehow he is experiencing the mechpreg.]
He's having such a hard time lmao. Even tho the crew adores the bitties and are always happy to help out their captain, they're still very young and can't really be away from their carrier for too long. Offers to babysit last perhaps a megacycle, tops, before the bitties get squirmy and cranky and their tiny sparks begin reaching for their maternal bond, and Rodimus has to hurry back to them
Funny enough, he actually gets the most rest when he's not by himself: though he trusts Drift and Ratchet completely with the triplets, and go an extent Ultra Magnus as well, Roddy struggles to actually relax when he's alone in his habsuite or office and his kiddos are elsewhere. It's like a reflex he can't control: whenever his sparklings are out of sight it's like a switch just flips in his mind. His thoughts swirl around them, always insistently pulled away from whatever he's supposed to be doing. Wondering if they're alright, if they're hungry, or if Pinky is getting anxious without him like he tends to, or if Maroon was still trying to choke himself by sucking on his own fingers. What if they miss him, what if they're too much for their sitters to handle, what if they think he's abandoned them, what if they trip and fall and hurt themselves and he's not there to make sure they're ok?! What if something terrible happens, like what if they fall down the stairs and break their cranial casing? What if there's another psychotic sociopath hiding aboard somewhere that takes his sparklings hostage when he's not there to protect them?! What if they get attacked by space pirates?! What if they DIE?! Of they die it'll he all his fault and he's the worst mom ever and-
On and on it goes. Whenever the exhausted carrier tries to nap by himself, his thoughts just spiral and throw him headfirst into a fit of anxiety. Rodimus has some of the worst imposter syndrome we've ever seen, and i think that would carry over to how he sees himself as a parent: he has no idea what he's doing and he loves these sparklings more than life itself; the only thing he wants, more than anything, is to do right by them. To give them the life they deserve, to be the mother they deserve. He's scared to death about raising them, honestly, so afraid to make a mistake and ruin their lives. He'd never forgive himself if he let them be hurt or, worse, if he hurt them. Having them out of sight exacerbates his anxieties, because he can't possibly know exactly what they're getting up to.
And because of all that, exhausted mama Rodimus gets his best sleep either on his berth with the three ragamuffins puppy piled on top of him, or in common areas when someone else can keep the kiddos occupied and he can keep an eye on them. Knowing they're safe and right in front of him but also knowing that he's not the only pair of adult hands available, the combination let's his body finally relax and he is out. Either helm down on the table or crashing onto the nearest shoulder, Rodimus drops into such a deep recharge so fast the first few times it happened the crew worried he had actually fainted. And when I say out I mean out, face completely limp in exhaustion, mouth open, and snoring. Everyone in the vicinity is happy to let him recharge, Primus knows he needs it. Drift makes sure to get him a blanket, and it's not long before the triplets are lured in by the warm softness and their mother's form, getting all comfy in the little blankie nest at his side šŸ¤­
Sorry, that Rodimus part went on waaay longer than I expected it to, I just love him sm ok šŸ„ŗ
BUT HOO BOY THE NEXT ONE
Ratchet and Drift and Megatron all at roughly the same time? Damn. I feel like idw Megatron would be quietly horrified because, in his (probably correct honestly I love him but I shouldnt lie) opinion, he is not fit to be a carrier. Ratchet is crabby with Drift when he finds out, grumbling about outdated contraceptives and overly affectionate conjunx, until he's able to actually do a paternity test at Rodimus's prompting. His babies don't have a sire, so maybe...?
Ratchet is surprised and suspicious when the same turns up for him. Once is a random occurrence, twice is a coincidence, thrice makes a pattern. For the three of them to all turn up carrying at roughly the same time was already very unlikely, but for two out of the four pregnancies onboard to be asexually conceived... the chances of that happening randomly is astronomically small. He pulls Drift in for the same test, and wouldn't you know it? No sire. Same story with Megatron. When they get in contact with Cybertron, he finds they're all thankfully on the same page. Starscream had pegged it as incredibly statistically unlikely, though he hadn't had paternity tests performed to determine the lack of a sire. It's almost surreal, once said tests are done, hearing that every single one of them is expecting what is, essentially, a naturally occurring little clone of themselves.
Final closing thoughts because I've rambled enough: I'm still incredibly amused by the idea Tarn in labor, high as a kite from the epidural, tell Nickel, "Nooo don't touch my seal, that's for Lord Megatron" šŸ˜‚ poor Tarn man, saved himself for all these years, only to get slapped with virgin mary syndrome and BOOM, magic baby. He gets all the pains of childbirth without even experiencing the act of conceiving the baby in the first place. Press F

2 + 11 for the autumn prompts for winterserra maybe?
-winterserra
Autumn prompts
"Do you want my jacket?" + Campfires at midnight
like 1300 words both prompts covered šŸ¦€šŸ¦€šŸ¦€
"Do you want my jacket?" Ethan asks, after Rosa is bundled up in her stroller, ready to go out. ā€œIt's not too cold, I'll be fine in my hoodie.ā€
ā€œYou know I don't need your clothes anymore. My own fit fine now that most of the baby weight is gone.ā€
ā€œI didn't ask if you needed my jacket, I asked if you wanted it.ā€
ā€œWell, in that caseā€¦ā€ Luis tries not to sound too eager. He still feels a twinge of embarrassment when he thinks back to how clingy the pregnancy made him. He went from being stubbornly independent to a fault to being downright obsessed with Ethan. He needed to wear Ethan's clothes constantly, he needed Ethan to hold him and tell him he loved him and wasn't mad at him at least a dozen times a day, he cried if Ethan had to leave the room for more than 15 minutes. While Luis still wanted to wear his fiancĆ©'s clothes, it was no longer an intense need and the thought of asking to wear them was embarrassing. He doesn't want Ethan worrying that Luis is regressing back to that suffocating level of clinginess. ā€œIf you want me to wear your jacket, I won't object.ā€
ā€œHow has it not gotten through your head that I like it when you wear my clothes? I was almost living the dream that month you only wanted to wear my hoodies. I know you were miserable most of the time, that was the only bad part. I like you in my clothes even more now that you're finally feeling like yourself again.ā€
ā€œOkay, okay! You win!ā€ Luis quickly slips on Ethan's jacket. ā€œI'll wear your jacket all night, maybe one of your tops when we go to bed. Now can we finally get going?ā€
ā€œOne more thing, honey,ā€ Ethan holds Luis's hands while he talks, probably both to comfort him and make sure Luis doesn't try bolting to avoid a difficult topic. ā€œAre you sure this is a good idea? The fire? I still feel bad about the candles I lit that made youā€“ā€
The candles that made Luis have a panic attack and run to hide under their bed, causing Ethan to have to lift the bed up after he had a few minutes to calm down because he couldn't get out from under it. Not his finest moment.
ā€œOh my god, do not remind me!ā€ Luis shouts to cut Ethan off. ā€œLook, that was a one-off. I'd just gotten back from Leon's grave so those old wounds were raw, I felt like shit physically from how pregnant I was and how much walking I did, and I felt like shit emotionally because it was the first time in my life I had felt completely helpless and vulnerable. Perfect storm of things, the candles were only able to push me over the edge because I was already having a rough time. I can handle fire fine when I'm not hanging on by a thread.ā€
ā€œI don't want you just grinning and bearing something that makes you uncomfortable. You know everyone will understand if we change plans and don't do a bonfire.ā€
ā€œI'll be fine, really.ā€
ā€œ... Okay.ā€
-
Ethan pushes the stroller through the yard to the clearing where their friends were waiting, Luis of course stays right by Ethan's side while they walk. Both are smiling, excited to show off their little miracle.
Claire was the only one who had already seen Rosa, having been there the day she was born. But she's brand new to Sherry and Chris. Chris does look at her for a moment, but seems awkward and unsure of what to do, so he quickly shifts his attention back to the fire he was building. Sherry is more at ease, kneeling down by the stroller to get a closer look at Rosa and fawn over how cute she is.
Ethan and Luis sit down on a fallen log serving as a makeshift bench, with the stroller within reach. Once Chris gets a lighter out, Ethan holds one of Luis's hands and wraps his arm around him. Luis really isn't bothered by the fire, but he still accepts the touch, leaning against Ethan's body. Ethan feels slightly tense against him. Those overprotective dad instincts. Every meetup involving Claire has put him on edge since that argument they'd had that led to Ethan yelling at Claire and telling her to get out. Luis had forgiven her quickly, and Ethan tried to move on, but couldn't forget that night. Ethan was still nice to Claire and didn't let his negative feelings show, but the trust he had in Claire before that was shattered and would take time to really rebuild. Luis isn't sure how he feels about it overall. He does love and trust Claire and wishes Ethan could have a similar relationship to her, but a small part of him is very attracted to how protective Ethan can be and the way he's held a grudge against Claire just for saying something that upset Luis.
Once the fire really gets going, Claire sets up some food on the table, hotdogs and marshmallows to roast, and a few things to go with them. Seemingly satisfied that Luis is okay and not going to have a panic attack, Ethan lets go of him. Luis was hungry, but so was Rosa.
ā€œHey, Ethan?ā€ Luis says, reaching to get Rosa out of the stroller, and then the bottle of formula in the handle's cup holder that Ethan had prepared just before they went out, knowing she'd be hungry. ā€œRoast some marshmallows for me while I feed her?ā€
ā€œOf course.ā€
Ethan roasts a couple marshmallows, makes sure they've cooled enough not to burn Luis's tongue, then holds one up to his mouth.
ā€œThat was not what I had in mind,ā€ Luis says after swallowing the last of the marshmallow. ā€œI figured you'd just roast them and hand me the stick when I was done with Rosa. But I'm not complaining!ā€
Ethan continues hand feeding Luis marshmallows until Rosa finishes her bottle. Luis doesn't put her back in the stroller yet, but tells Ethan he's full and he should get himself something to eat.
The group sits around the campfire for a couple hours, laughing and talking. Claire and Sherry are just as excited about Rosa, wanting to know everything about her. Chris is quiet, but Ethan and Luis don't say anything, assuming it's most likely something he won't want to talk about.
Claire, Chris, and Sherry leave around midnight, leaving the new little family unit alone.
ā€œIt's getting late,ā€ Ethan points out. ā€œWe should go inside.ā€
ā€œA little bit longer, mi amor?ā€ Luis pleads. ā€œRosa is fine, sleeping good, fire has her toasty.ā€
ā€œI'm so bad at telling you no,ā€ Ethan mutters under his breath. ā€œI'm glad you're enjoying the fire. I was really worried it was going to upset you.ā€
ā€œMy relationship with fire isā€¦ Complicated. When I was really young, fire was a good thing. Fire was what kept us warm in the winter. Fire was what gave us light to read books inside. Fire was what cooked the food we ate. Then my grandfather diedā€“ā€ Luis pauses to collect himself, choking down a sob. ā€œAnd fire was bad. It destroyed his body, destroyed our home. That was the night I left. I avoided fire after that. Then I had to go on the run from Umbrella, and hiding out back in the village was the best choice. Fire was unavoidable. The village was more modern than when I left, but still very reliant on it. I had a secret lab in the castle with no windows or electric lights. Fire was good again. By candlelight, I came up with a medication that would suppress the growth of the parasite. And thenā€¦ I've told you about what happened with that lab once, I can't tell you again.ā€
ā€œYeah, I remember,ā€ Ethan hugs Luis to try to comfort him. ā€œI'm sorry I brought fire up again, I shouldn't have said anything that could get you talking like this.ā€
ā€œIt's okay,ā€ Luis does his best to give Ethan a reassuring smile. ā€œLike I said, it's complicated. For every horrific memory I have about fire, I have several positive memories of it. And now I have another good memory to add to the pile.ā€

Synthwave (Gantlos x Musa) Massive Info Dump
Before I start shoutout to that one Russian who makes edited pics of these two.
Donā€™t mind me yapping about these two because I think theyā€™d make a good pairing IF you write them well enough. I can easily see Gantlos being used as a moral scapegoat to make Riven look better in comparison, despite Riven saying his gf changed when thatā€™s literally her special interest and sheā€™s the FAIRY OF MUSIC!
Anyway the ship mostly started as a joke when I found out about Fairies of the Black Circle and brainstormed some interactions for a Season 4 rewrite but the more I thought about it the more I think their dynamic works and my friend @calissarowan agrees with me (and in return they lade me ship Dumantlos)
Enemies to Lovers is actually fire
This is my biggest argument for the ship and that Enemies to Lovers is honestly a dynamic Iā€™ve grown fond of after seeing it being done right in some stories.
The biggest one I can point out is Ace Attorney tho itā€™s more Rivals to Lovers. Long story short Miles Edgeworth is Phoenix Wrightā€™s rival as the prosecutor in the first game. He ends up being a suspect for the last murder and Phoenix, as the defense, decides to take his case and defend him. Throughout the story we learn about their character and how Edgeworth is the reason why Phoenix became a lawyer, and Edgeworth ultimately redeems himself by bringing down the true culprit of the overarching story built up during each episode/chapter.
Gantlos and Musa are obviously enemies fighting to get Roxy and later on the White Circle. While they donā€™t have many interactions, you can use your imagination; Musa taunting him while he brushes it off to attack her and maybe banters back in a similar fashion to Anagan, and even shits on Riven for being a bad boyfriend. Now if we tweak Season 4 to make the wizards more useful we get the Winx and wizards banding together to stop the Earth Fairies from getting rid of humanity, and as the story goes Gantlos opens up to Musa and they grow closer, eventually fighting tooth and nail to have eachotherā€™s backs. I know this is fanfiction territory but I donā€™t like how the threat of genociding humans was brushed off while the wizardsā€™ treason and sending Nabu into a coma was treated like blasphemy (which I mostly blame the writers for killing him off tbh)
Basically the enemies to lovers dynamic opens for a lot of character growth and thus better dynamics for them. Not to mention it being very interesting overall when done right.
But Harper, why would they even like each other?
While I canā€™t give a direct reason my answer lies within the other characters. Itā€™s well known Riven and Musa are very shitty to each other, with how Musa sets up too many expectations on Riven whoā€™s new to dating, and Rivenā€™s jealousy and insulting his gfā€™s special talent. The others also push them to be together when we all know where this is goingā€¦ Anyway, Musa has said before she needs someone to support her but itā€™s obvious she likes bad boys. Well, if you think about it Gantlos fits her type perfectly. Again heā€™s stoic and a jerk at times but if youā€™re someone heā€™s close to heā€™ll show you he cares. I mean, his concern over Duman is why people shipped them so I can see him comforting Musa when sheā€™s sad or scarred. And hereā€™s a bonus, the reason she gets back with Riven every time is because heā€™s brave and strong and able to protect her. Guess who stopped the metro to protect his friend despite it possibly costume both their lives: GANTLOS! Sheā€™d be head over heels for him if he was a good guy!
For Gantlos youā€™ll have to bear with me here. Iā€™ve noticed in the show heā€™s not respected on the same level as the other wizards: Ogron acknowledging his ideas ONLY after heā€™s proven wrong, Anagan saying he may have lost his mind and Duman insisting heā€™s wrong in Episode 16 (god I need to make a rant post about this someday). And since Musa can listen to the song in his heart and empathize with him sheā€™d maybe treat him better and with the respect he wants. Maybe they get closer and he starts to have romantic feelings towards her and wants to stay by her side to protect Musa.
The Dynamic:
I should walk you guys through the dynamic we cooked up tho. Gantlos is obviously the jaded and stoic guy to contrast with Musaā€™s more ā€œromanticā€ and snarky vibe. Even if Gantlos is evil heā€™s shown to have a soft side mainly for the people he cares for. Musa would tease him about having a soft side which he would deny until he caves in. I doubt Gantlos would be a pro at talking about his feelings, stumbling on his words and downplaying it, which doesnā€™t work on Musa since she can read the song in his heart (remember how that was established in one of the movies?) And with both of them being aloof or giving off that vibe even if they prefer to be alone they can be alone together, like two introverts getting hyped about each other.
Of course I canā€™t ignore the fact they would also argue and fight, Gantlos calling out Musaā€™s bad traits while Musa insists heā€™s not being good and heā€™s still a villain. Itā€™d be rocky and theyā€™d both be stubborn, but I think Gantlos calling Musa out would open her eyes to the fact sheā€™s also to blame, while Gantlos gets talked by Ogron or Anagan that he was being too harsh on a lady. They talk it out in a healthy manner and no drama is dragged out for about 15 episodes.
Dates/Hobbies ideas (a lot of headcanon territory here)
In terms of dates I think itā€™d range from fun, to chill, to spicy. I can see them just hanging out by themselves listening to music together in a park or Musaā€™s room. With their more aloof nature they would probably do things like stargazing when itā€™s peaceful and nobodyā€™s around, opening up about issues they have while the other comforts them.
I headcannon each wizard knows how to play an instrument and Gantlos does the electric guitar which is why he can summon seismic waves and has similar powers to Musa (sound waves, seismic waves, ya know). So he can jam out on a guitar while Musa sings to the melody or sing a song to her. Yes I also think he can sing, but the other characters assume the opposite because of his constant yelling, so him and Musa could duet (and they seal it with a kiss cause dhskdjsj itā€™s perfect that way)
Restaurants would be nice. I doubt Gantlos eats much, same for the other wizards, so heā€™d scarf down anything and wait for Musa to finish afterwards.
They could brush each otherā€™s hair, maybe Gantlos braids Musaā€™s hair if she wants. Musa could also give him a massage whenever cause he needs it.
And lastly I donā€™t really talk about steamy stuff but Iā€™m 90% sure theyā€™re both freaky switches.
Marriage? Child?
Sorry but I canā€™t see them married, but thatā€™s because Iā€™m not big on marriages. But either way Gantlos is definitely moving from the sewers to her house and maybe has to work on his criminal record to get her dadā€™s blessing. I can imagine them having a mesh between a rock concert and the typical wedding stuff for theirs.
Iā€™m also not a fan of fanchilds cause I can easily see the characters being reduced to ā€œmom and dadā€ but maybe thatā€™s a me problem. Iā€™d imagine they have a daughter whoā€™s very punk/rebel and sheā€™d be a guitarist whose weapon is the same guitar she uses for her rock album.
The End
So far thatā€™s all I have to say about this ship. Maybe Iā€™ll talk about how Riven could factor into this or the tragedy of it all if it follows the cannon ending of Gantlos being stuck in a frozen hellscape after betraying Musa, her friends and the Earth fairies. But otherwise let me know that you think in the Reblogs and Iā€™d appreciate anyone sharing this post because I feel like Synthwave would be a fire crackship.
Otherwise Iā€™ll see you guys next Wednesday, buh-bye!
