“you don’t respect buck and eddie’s sexuality if you insist on buddie getting together (like making buck’s bisexuality all about buddie, or ignoring that eddie is ‘straight’ (i can’t not put it in quotation marks))” takes are so fucking stupid, because the writers are literally on board with buddie

they get it, and they’ve been subtly - and not so subtly - hinting at it since the season 7 premiere

the minute they realized eddie was turning out to be gay, narratively speaking, they knew the only right person for him romantically - again, narratively speaking - is buck

and they’ve been planning bi-buck way before they noticed gay-eddie, but when they introduced buck’s bi-awakening, they made sure to show that his new relationship with a man doesn’t click the way it clicks with eddie. they’re cute together, sure, they have chemistry, yes, but it’s constantly highlighted in the show that the only right person for buck is eddie - because he’s just always fucking there, he gets buck like no one else does, their connection is unmatched and this new love interest can’t compare because they’re not meant to be

because the two characters who are meant to be already met each other

i totally respect buck’s bisexuality and how important it is for representation, but i also respect buck as a whole character - and if you respect him that way too, you also understand that buck’s the one is eddie. because it’s been shown across all seasons that eddie is the one person in buck’s life who matches his level of love and his personality

like, it all always comes down to people never actually seeing a proper queer slow burn before because it never really existed - previous queer relationships on screen were either fast-developing, pre-established, or never got a real resolution

so people keep dismissing buddie’s connection as “just friendship”, even though the signs of it being a love story have always been there - with both buck and eddie’s sexualities, and with how they relate to each other

the writers saw it because they’re not stupid. and the way they went about making these characters slowly understand themselves and realize their feelings for each other tells me they’re actually geniuses. there was an insane amount of subtext in s7, and basically plain text in s8

and if you can’t see it, then you’re stupid - sorry not sorry - ‘cause i genuinely can’t comprehend how bt-endgame fans or eddie-straight-truthers can’t see what’s happening right in front of them

we finally got a queer friends-to-lovers story for once, stop whining

every time someone says, “why do people always need to ship characters that are cLeArLy just friends?” i’m like:

‘CAUSE WE NEVER FUCKING HAD THIS TROPE WITH SAME-SEX CHARACTERS. it’s always disregarded, even when it makes perfect sense for the story - because of heteronormativity, homophobia, or a general lack of understanding of queer sexualities and experiences

so, yes, i root for them. because it’s a smart thing to do. because i can read between the lines. because it’s written in the story, and the story doesn’t make any sense otherwise. because it’s there in the chemistry between the actors, and in the compatibility between the characters

[sk-lumen]

Date by honoring your nervous system.

This took me a long while to realize, but once I did, it changed how I see dating and chemistry. Let me explain.

When you realize that chemistry and flying sparks have zero correlation with compatibility, you've leveled up your dating mindset.

Most often those sparks and butterflies you feel, that's your subconscious picking up on familiar toxic patterns in the other person. Patterns which remind you of past experiences or even childhood trauma. Our brains are designed to see familiarity as safe, so when toxic dynamics are all you know, this can turn against you. You have to conscious rewire your brain, and be intentional and aware of how they make you feel.

Toxicity = familiar = safe = we interpret it as attraction. If they make your nervous system go haywire, we see this as chemistry and sparks flying, but it is actually alarm bells going off to signal we are not safe.

Healthy = unfamiliar = can feel unsafe and scary. We may interpret a vanilla, calm, comfortable interaction as a lack of chemistry. But there is a difference between no physical attraction, and being attracted to someone but not feeling any sparks. The latter is normal in the beginning. If your nervous system feels calm, they make you feel comfortable and at ease, that's a good sign!

So if there's any advice I would give to my younger self, it's this: date based on how he makes your nervous system feel. Does he make you feel safe, comfortable, at ease? That's the green flag to go for.

[no-psi-nan]

I'm not a fan of soulmates in romantic fiction because it's basically arranged marriage with extra supernatural noncon/dubcon elements.

However, in the Saiki universe, the soulmate connection seems to lack pretty much all of those problematic elements.

We have to do a little extrapolating from what we see in canon since this aspect of Aiura's powers is not covered in detail, but:

Soulmates do not seem to be guaranteed to ever meet, considering the fact that Aiura specifically looked up her soulmate and that one guy who was linked to someone in a remote African village that would almost certainly never cross paths with him.

Being with your soulmate is completely optional, otherwise Aiura wouldn't bother providing relationship scoring and just tell each person to go find their soulmate. This allows for a lot of narrative opportunities to explore why someone would consciously choose to not be with their soulmate, and also opens up the door for polyamory.

Soulmates do not instantly fall in love, and are not forced to stay in love by any supernatural powers. Aiura didn't think anything of Saiki until he flawlessly saved Yumehara's life like 10x in a row, and Saiki certainly didn't fall for Aiura right away either. They fought over their values strongly enough that it would've been a breakup if they'd ever been together.

Soulmate status just seems to indicate particularly good chemistry, and like the rest of Aiura's powers, is purely informational and not determinative. Presumably soulmates have the highest possible compatibility scores, and it's kinda cool that it seems guaranteed there's at least 1 person out there who will jive with you, but also plenty of other people you can connect with to various degrees.

With Saiki and Aiura specifically, it's shown that Saiki can change the future Aiura sees as soon as he hears about it. It may even be possible for him to change the soulmate determination, and he certainly could've used Time Leap to fool Aiura into thinking someone else was her soulmate if he was really opposed to the concept. She had scryed it recently, so the butterfly effect shouldn't be a challenge.

But they do work so smoothly together with their powers complementing each other, and Saiki is kind of a lonely romantic tsundere at heart, so it makes sense that he would let the soulmate thing play out and yet test the connection by pushing Aiura away as much as possible.

Actually, considering that Saiki can't control people's actions directly (and that he sucks at trying to control people indirectly), the strongest noncon/dubcon force in the Saikiverse shockingly appears to be Teruhashi's beauty.

The only male character that doesn't seem at all affected by Teruhashi's powers is Hairo, most likely because of his heavily implied homosexuality. Women attracted to other women are also impacted by her power, as seen with Aiura.

While Saiki says that married people aren't affected by Teruhashi, Kuniharu does actually show several signs of being affected by Teruhashi, and so does Kumagoro.

All affected people instantly fall in love with her on sight, no exceptions.

Critical thinking ability appears to drop precipitously when it comes to her, with her fans accepting that she had a secret child with Saiki despite being in school with her every day and that she can just choose not to poop for a week. More effective mind control than anything Saiki can do tbh.

The instant Saiki loses some of his powers, he starts being affected by Teruhashi's beauty.

The narrative supports Saiki's theory that Teruhashi is literally favored by God and can affect reality just by hoping for something. The implication that God is (physically??) attracted to Teruhashi and does whatever she wants is.... yikes on several levels. If she asks for someone to love her, do they get a choice in the matter??

Anyways, there are way more elements of noncon/dubcon with Teruhashi ships than there are with actual canon soulmate mechanics in the Saikiverse and that's just such a wild choice by the author lol.

Truly subverting tropes!

Farewell's Journal

1st Entry - Revolutionshipping: a bond beyond time.

Few relationships in Yu-Gi-Oh! carry as much unspoken depth as that between Atem and Anzu.

From the earliest chapters of the manga, Kazuki Takahashi wove a connection between them that was complex, layered, and undeniably magnetic.

Though it never materialized into romance, the chemistry was always there—lingering in stolen glances, quiet moments, and the weight of unspoken words.

Why is Revolutionshipping so special

The dynamic between Atem and Anzu is one of contrasts and complements.

Atem carries the weight of his past and destiny, while Anzu embodies dreams, the future, and the pursuit of something beyond the known. She is drawn to his strength, wisdom, and mystery, while he finds in her a grounding presence—someone who sees him as more than just a ruler or a spirit bound to a puzzle.

Their bond isn’t built on shared childhood memories like Anzu and Yugi’s, but on something more immediate and instinctual—an unspoken understanding that, in another life, in another time, could have been something more.

There’s an undeniable chemistry in their interactions.

Unlike Yugi, Anzu instinctively responds to Atem’s confidence and presence. She challenges him in ways others don’t, and he respects her not just out of gratitude but as an equal. She doesn’t idolize him, nor does she depend on him for protection—she simply sees him for who he is, both as a king and as a person.

In turn, Atem brings out a different side of her. With him, she is both challenged and inspired.

They don’t just complement each other’s strengths; they uplift each other in moments of doubt, creating a bond that is as grounding as it is inspiring.

Their personalities complement each other naturally.

Anzu is ambitious, determined, and unafraid to challenge authority—qualities that align with Atem’s own strength and leadership.

Unlike Yugi, who is more hesitant, Atem meets her at her level, creating a connection built on mutual respect and attraction.

At the same time, they balance each other’s weaknesses.

Atem, despite his confidence, carries the burden of duty and isolation, struggling to express vulnerability.

Anzu encourages him to see beyond obligation and embrace the idea of personal happiness.

Conversely, she sometimes doubts her own path, torn between dreams and reality, and Atem, with his unwavering resolve, reminds her to believe in herself and move forward without fear.

What Anzu and Atem share that Yugi does not

One of the most overlooked yet telling revo moments in the manga is chapter 41.

Anzu and Yugi make a love test with their lovely two, but it doesn’t beep.

When Atem takes over however, the Tamagotchi reacts.

While this may seem like a small detail, it almost feels as if Kazuki Takahashi himself is subtly suggesting their compatibility—after all, why include such a moment if not to highlight a contrast?

Evidence of this can be seen as early as Season 0, where several moments between them were removed, a trend that continued into the 2000s anime adaptation.

This isn’t the only time we see this dynamic.

In the early chapters of the manga, when Takahashi had more creative freedom, there are numerous moments that highlight Anzu and Atem’s unique connection.

As the series progresses, Atem becomes more distant, but this shift seems less like a natural evolution of his character and more like an editorial decision to reinforce his contrast with Yugi.

Why it can’t happen

Atem does not belong in Anzu’s world, just as she does not belong in his.

His very existence is tied to the past, to a destiny that was set in motion thousands of years ago.

No matter how much either of them may wish otherwise, Atem’s journey was always leading him toward one inevitable conclusion—returning to the afterlife.

This is why their relationship remains forever in the realm of “what if.”

Unlike other potential romances, this one is never given a real chance, not because of lack of feelings, but because it was never meant to be realized.

The story itself does not allow it.

Anzu’s development: from attraction to love

Anzu’s feelings for Atem evolve gradually throughout the series. Initially, she sees him as a mysterious, confident version of Yugi—an aspect of him that had always been hidden. In the early manga and anime, she expresses fascination with this other Yugi, believing him to be just another side of Yugi himself. At this stage, her emotions remain tied to Yugi as a whole, rather than recognizing Atem as his own person.

This idea is reinforced in chapter 80 of the manga, where she states that it doesn’t matter which of the two she is with—because to her, they are both Yugi. However, this moment also marks a turning point. As the story progresses, she begins to understand the truth: Atem is not Yugi. He is someone else entirely, with his own thoughts, struggles, and destiny.

Atem is the one who challenges her, who meets her intensity, who resonates with her in a way Yugi never quite does. Even if she never says it out loud, her heart had already chosen.

This realization shifts her feelings from an innocent crush to something deeper—marked by admiration, longing, and an undeniable chemistry.

Though she deeply cares for Yugi, their bond is built on friendship and familiarity rather than passion and attraction.

Atem’s development: from loneliness to the Duat

Atem’s journey isn’t just about regaining his memories—it’s about finding his place in the world and, ultimately, accepting his fate.

And Anzu plays a pivotal role in this.

She is the one who, perhaps more than anyone else, encourages him to follow his heart, even when it means facing the painful truth: his destiny lies beyond this world.

Despite loving him, despite knowing what it will cost her, she chooses to support him. That selflessness is exactly what gives Atem the strength to walk forward.

Through Anzu, Atem learns not just who he was, but who he is.

But beyond the emotional support, Anzu also plays a crucial role in uncovering his past.

Without her, Atem wouldn’t have remembered his true name—one of the most vital keys to his journey.

It is through her that he bridges the gap between his forgotten past and his present self.

The cartouche she gifts him, the name she helps him reclaim… these aren’t just symbolic gestures. They are tangible, irreplaceable moments that lead him to his ultimate resolution.

And when the moment comes for him to step into the Duat, Atem is already resolute in his choice.

The unwavering belief she has always shown in him, the way she has pushed him forward throughout his journey, is part of what gave him the strength to make that decision in the first place.

Even if she can no longer influence his path, her presence in his life has already shaped the person he has become.

And this is where Anzu plays a unique role.

While Yugi cares for Atem, he never truly pushes him to focus on himself.

Instead, he leaves that task to Anzu.

She is the one who doesn’t just stand by his side in battle, but actively seeks out his well-being, making sure that, for once, someone is looking after him.

In this way, Anzu gives Atem something no one else does—the space to be vulnerable, to be human, and to be loved.

Atem’s resolve: holding back.

Despite whatever feelings he may have, Atem is fully aware of his fate.

He is not meant to stay in the present, and he refuses to take anything away from Yugi—including the possibility of a relationship with Anzu. He values Yugi too much to ever interfere with his happiness.

This is another reason why Atem never openly acknowledges any feelings he may have for Anzu.

He knows that if he allows himself to get too close, it will only make leaving harder—not just for him, but for her as well.

His concern for her safety goes beyond that of a simple friend—he takes responsibility for her well-being in a way that is deeply personal.

Despite his restraint, Atem is undeniably protective of Anzu.

Time and time again, he is the first to step in when she is in danger, whether it’s during Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, or even small moments in between.

Her silence speaks volumes. It shows her loyalty to Yugi, her unwillingness to be selfish at his expense.

There’s also another subtle but important detail—Anzu never directly tells Atem about her feelings for him.

This isn’t because she’s uncertain, but rather because she prioritizes Yugi’s feelings over her own.

She knows that if she were to openly confess to Atem, it could deeply hurt Yugi, who has always been there for her. This hesitation isn’t about doubt; it’s about kindness.

Why Yugi supports them

One of the most fascinating aspects of this dynamic is Yugi’s own role in it.

Despite his own feelings for Anzu, he actively encourages her to spend time with Atem, believing that it will help the Pharaoh feel more connected to their world.

And he’s right—Atem does open up more when he’s with Anzu, becoming not just a king or a protector, but a person.

Yugi’s actions can be interpreted in multiple ways.

On one hand, he may simply believe he doesn’t have a chance with Anzu and steps aside out of selflessness.

On the other, Yugi is deeply empathetic—he understands people better than they understand themselves. Perhaps he sees something in Atem that isn’t explicitly stated: a growing attachment, an unspoken longing. It’s possible that Yugi recognizes Atem’s feelings before even Atem himself does, and rather than stand in the way, he allows things to unfold naturally.

Unlike Yugi, Atem is restrained—both by his nature and by his role. People often forget that he is a Pharaoh, a figure bound by duty, where personal attachments have no place.

What makes this even more compelling is that, while Atem and Yugi are opposites in many ways, they are ultimately two sides of the same person. This likely extends to their emotions as well.

If Yugi harbors feelings for Anzu, it’s not unthinkable that Atem does too, even if he is less outwardly expressive about them.

Atem embodies the full weight of that responsibility, to the point where his entire existence is dedicated to protecting others, often at his own expense.

Why Revolutionshipping makes more sense

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom, many fans explore different pairings and relationships between characters. Some of these relationships are clearly romantic, like Yugi’s feelings for Anzu or Jounouchi’s affection for Mai. Even Kaiba’s attachment to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon has romantic undertones, given his past life connection with Kisara. However, when it comes to Atem, there is no definitive indication in the series that he shares romantic feelings for anyone.

Atem’s connection with Yugi is unique and deeply emotional, but it is more akin to that of brothers or two souls bound by a shared destiny. Their bond transcends friendship, but it is not romantic. The connection between them is based on mutual respect and the understanding that they are two halves of the same soul. Their relationship is rooted in a deep, almost spiritual link, rather than any romantic tension.

When we consider Atem’s historical context, things become clearer. Atem is not only the spirit of a pharaoh, but also the reincarnation of Tutankhamun, who was married to Ankhesenamun.

As a ruler in ancient Egypt, Atem’s life and role would have been defined by the expectations of his time—marriage and the need for heirs. This historical perspective further supports the idea that Atem’s connection is naturally inclined toward a romantic bond with a woman.

Given this, it makes more sense for Atem’s romantic potential to lie with someone like Anzu. While Atem never explicitly expresses his feelings in the series, their growing bond over time suggests a connection that could develop into something deeper.

Anzu, with her unwavering support, helps Atem confront his past and come to terms with his destiny, making their relationship one that holds the potential for love.

A love that could never be

Revolutionshipping is a story of love that was never meant to happen. Not because there was no connection, but because fate simply did not allow it.

Atem’s duty was always to return to the past, and Anzu’s future was already planned in the present.

But perhaps that’s what makes their bond so powerful.

It is a love that exists between two people from different worlds—one that could have been, if only time had allowed it.

And sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories are the ones that never truly had a chance.

1st House Synastry

those who have any part of their ‘big 3’ (sun, moon, rising) in your first house will make a strong first impression on you. first house is related to our individual identity so there’s an immediate recognition for each other. theres an instant attraction & special chemistry, even if partners aren’t conventionally attractive or not each others usual type. although you’ll find their presence memorable & compelling upon first encounters, the rxship can burn out quickly if there’s no foundation beyond that initial spark.

expect to be mesmerised with their looks & demeaner, combined with an obsessive need to know more about them, to be around them, to soak up as much of them as possible, as if to aggressively learn them. however, one partner never quite shows their true self to the other partner, meaning they only see one side of them & only know them to a certain extent.

partners tend to notice & obsess over the tiny details in each other. they'll keep finding little things abt each other that they find enchanting. this creates an effect of falling for each other again & again & again. these enchanting little details build up gradually & partners become completely infatuated with each other eventually. this person will tick all the boxes you’ve been holding inside.

planet feels like house is similar to them in a way - shared interests, ideas, morals, etc. consequently, planet has a natural respect for house & seeks houses approval a lot. planet feels like house moves at the same speed as them, which leads to a sense of trust & comfort in house.

through this connection, house gains new feelings or discoveries abt themselves, for better or worse.

Venus

there may be awkwardness upon first meeting bc house makes venus feels nervous. these partners always look good together aesthetically . their physical appearance just fit perfectly (barbie & ken vybz). both parties make evident the fascination they feel for each others bodies. there is a general adoration simply for who the other person is. venus especially is obsessed & mesmerised by houses appearance. venus finds house physically perfect & irresistible. this will either cause house to feel very seen & loved or cause house to perceive the rxship as superficial & empty. for example, venus being completely turned off just bc house got a bad haircut. also, depending on how low or high venus’s self esteem is, once venus becomes comfortable around house, they may become envious & critical towards houses looks & image. venus may keep making comments on houses body, reminding house of their flaws. venus may feel like house isn’t truly ever enough. house may feel like venus puts them on an unrealistic pedestal & they always have to be “perfect” around venus. this aspect can make either party be in denial abt the breakup or the rejection. they tend to become stalkers, for example lurking on their social media or even following them home.

Mars

due to the aries influence, this is likely a feisty & electric couple, privately & publicly. both parties want to seize the dominant role & one assumes the other likes to provoke them. you may feel the confident & masculine energy emitted by your partner & you’ll either find it arousing or excessive. house may often annoy mars unintentionally & mars may often lack sensitivity towards house. this clash can lead to hurt feelings & even violence. outsiders struggle to understand this complicated dynamic. you may become more verbally combative & physically tense around this person. therefore, this aspect is best for those attracted to assertive & martian energy, otherwise you may view your partner as arrogant or bossy. within this synastry, there isn’t necessarily romantic compatibility but there is definitely physical connection. for example, saying "i hate you" & kissing each other right after. sex is very passionate & powerful, with rough & competitive air. initially, mars is instantly turned on by house & its often a superficial attraction. consequently, mars readily pursues house with a straightforward approach. mars’s passion captures houses attention & house feels either intrigued or irritated. however, if mars has a inferiority complex, due to feeling threatened by house, mars will resist making a move, even though both partners usually struggle hiding their feelings or intentions from one another. house brings out the protective, jealous & possessive side of mars. this partnership may alter houses identify bc mars can motivate & urge house to be the best version of themselves. house develops more passion, assertiveness, confidence, bravery & ambition due to mars’s influence. however, if mars has low self esteem, they’ll become envious & critical towards houses image. mars may keep making comments on houses appearance & reminding house of their flaws. (cancer mars or taurus asc)

Moon

there’s plenty of emotional openness in this caring & gentle rxship. there’s no ‘get to know each other’ phase, partners instantly *know* one another from the first meeting & feel very comfortable around each other. partners easily let the guards down & struggle to keep secrets from one another. partners will be each other's lending ear & lending shoulder. they know eachothers sensitive spots & what topics to avoid. this aspect brings out partners protective side but it’s more of a calm, delicate & emotional protection. for example, worrying abt each others health & well-being. this connection make you more likely to find the other person’s quirks as endearing rather than off-putting. initially, partners are very curious abt one another. they want to see what more there is than what meets the eye. partners may share similarities causing them to understand & accept one another easily. they may have familiar forms of behaviour & mirror each others temperamental tendencies. house holds the ability to easily read moon & house understands moon better than anyone else. since house makes moon feel so seen & heard, moon easily let’s their guard down around house. moon’s openness arouses the nurturing & sensitive side of house. there is something abt the way moon looks or acts that makes house feel immediately safe & calm.

the impact of one on the other's career, financial situation, and emotions

A harmonious synastry chart indicates:

Strong mutual attractions and chemistry, are shown by harmonious aspects (e.g. conjunctions, trines, sextiles) between personal planets like the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mars. This suggests the two personas will have an easy, flowing rapport.

Stable and energetic connections, where planets form stable, long-lasting aspects (not just volatile conjunctions). This helps the relationship maintain intimacy even after the initial infatuation phase.

Conversely, a "challenging" synastry chart suggests:

Lack of compatibility or chemistry, with discordant aspects (squares, oppositions) between personal planets. This foreshadows potential friction and struggles in the partnership.

Absence of planetary aspects or challenging aspects between planets - This can cause the connections to become cold and emotionally detached after the honeymoon stage.

The synastry chart provides important clues about the long-term potential and effort required to sustain the relationship.

How To Write Romantic Relationships [MASTERPOST]

How do you balance between having emotional and meaningful without also having sappy and cliche?

How do you organically incorperate romance to the plot without having too force it in?

Don't fret my romantically inexperienced little writer! I'm here to help!

A) Make It Meaningful

Look, you can put in all the effort and still have readers not give a f$ck about the romance.

Why is there romance? Is it to create conflict? Illustrate a character's flaws? Is it a fun dynamic?

Make characters individually interesting. Your readers should understand why a character has fallen in love or you will have a riot on your hand! Remember when your favorite character fell in love with the equivalent of cardboard? Not fun. Remember: FLAWS!

The characters should be physically attracted to each other. It's pretty awkward having a romance where one character is just supressing disgust for the other.

The characters should feel emotionally connected.

Unless this is the main focus of the relationship, the characters should share core, fundamental beliefs. They can express these beliefs in different ways but it's awkward trying to ship pacifist x murderer.

Characters either need to share the same level of critical thinking ability or be willing to fall in love with an idiot. By the way, you don't love idiot x smart, you love emotional x stoic, reckless x reserved, or emotionally intelligent x logical.

B) The Meet-Cute Or Meet-Hideous

Now you might be saying, "but my dynamic is "friends/enemies to lovers"! Not strangers to lovers"!

Cool. You still have to understand how they met initially whether that was 5 minutes ago, 5 months ago, or 5 years ago. How two or more characters meet can influence first impressions, expectations for the relationship, and what these characters know about each other.

If two people met with A thinking B is an angel and B thinking A is the most boring person alive, that's a meeting that's definitely going to influence each other's expectations for their relationships and for each other.

Then, if you are writing a couple who met before the beginnings of this story, you also need to investigate their "re-meeting". This re-meeting demonstrates how the relationship is between characters.

Is there tension? Are they breaking apart? Are they meeting after a period seperated?

For strangers to lovers, where characters meet in canon and not pre-canon, a writer needs to focus on the meeting.

What are their first impressions? What is the environment around them? How is everyone feeling? What's the initial dynamic?

Common Pitfalls:

Love at First Sight. Unless you have a story where you are switching between the love interest's perspective, then the only way the audience is going to fall in love with this character is through the protag. And while the protag can fall in love at the blink of an eye, the reader can't. If your audience isn't invested in the characters, that's a problem.

Boring Meeting. Unless the entire point of the meeting is that it's mundane, try to give the meeting significiance.

Lack Of Characterization. Writers often copy the standard rom-com meeting but it does a disservice to your characters. Distrusting characters won't fall in love immediately. Reserved characters won't leave their routine for anyone. Let the meeting be guided by the characters.

C) Romantic Chemistry

In order to make a couple romantically compatible, their traits need to complement each others.

Readers tend to implicitly see the potential two characters could have if they just got together. Having two characters with opposing but balancing characteristics could satisfy this thirst.

Readers understand that a character battling depression is more likely to thrive with someone who provides benefits in relation to the depression whether it's compassion, open-mindedness, or perceptiveness.

D) Conflict

All relationships need conflict! This type of conflict tends to be man vs self, man vs man, or man vs society

Characters are either struggling with their own characters flaws, the external threat of another character, or the interference of society.

Common Pitfalls:

Lack Of Themes. Let the themes you are working with inspire what type of conflict impact the relationship. Don't throw in a plot twist or an inorganic cliche.

Lack Of Grounding. Authors can be so focused on the spectacle of a grand fight that they can loose their characters and the grounded experience of an unstable relationship.

Lack Of Characterization. Whenever authors grab a random conflict, they risk a character acting outside of their parameters which make the move feel shoehorned in.

Lack Of Justification. Don't have the conflict show up out of nowhere! Write little moments where something seems off. Then when these little things pile up, it won't feel shocking but justified.

Lack Of Punishment. Characters shouldn't come out of these moments without questioning their entire existence. Have them re-evaluate their beliefs, expectations, and actions.

Lack Of Power. Give your love interest and your protagonist the chance to air out their grievances. Don't let your characters suffer in silence. Call these characters out on their bs.

E) Actions In Love

Everyone has their own ways of expressing love, so don’t assume that there’s only one right way to write about it. Some characters show their love through physical acts of intimacy such as holding hands and kissing. Some characters compliment. Others show it through grand romantic gestures. Others are more subtle.

Try to weave these little acts of sincerity throughout all of the scenes where your two lovebirds are in love.

[halfhoursonearth-writes]

Can you recommend fanfiction that you personally really like?

Yes! Love this ask. I’ve never made a Zutara fic rec list partially because I’ve read so many wonderful stories over time that I find the prospect daunting! 

But there are absolutely certain stories that I have a personal soft spot for, that I return to again and again. And that’s my criteria for what’s included below. This is a sampling of fics that I find myself coming back to, in no particular order. I may come back and add more, because this list is so far from exhaustive. A mix of ratings (marked), so keep that in mind.

Wish I Was the Moon by Like a Dove (T), post-canon: There’s so much that I love about the way this one-shot explores Katara���s character and what she faces post-canon, how she frees herself, strikes out in the world and finds her way home. Her feelings for Zuko, and her inner-conflict around them, are rendered tangibly, both through scene and subtext. A really good example of how an author can show a character’s lack of/journey to self-knowledge without breaking voice.

Refraction by caroes3725 (E), post-canon: When I started reading Zutara fanfic (for me this was in 2020), this was the fic I was looking for—a deep, realistic-to-canon, in-character exploration of how Zutara could unfold after the events of ATLA in a way that gives Katara in particular the arc she deserves. Really well-done development of the Fire Nation court world, well-developed characters, shining dialogue. An amazingly well-worth-it slow burn.

Wildfire by rainstormdragon (E), post-canon: To me this story is kind of a steamy Zutara thesis. The characters are so spot on and alive, their flaws are on full display in a way that feels realistic, and their chemistry is powered by their compatibility—matched in passion and stubbornness, and also in what they want from life. And I think it really gets Aang, too, which is something that can be hard to find in ZK fic. Also really hot, but that's only part of what makes it really shine.

Partners in Learning by evergreenonthehorizon (T), Modern AU: One of the things I love in modern AUs is watching an author weave that invisible string between these characters. Sometimes, it’s by writing narrative arcs that parallel the series, and sometimes it’s by drawing out the personality traits that make the characters both lovable to readers and such a compelling match and watching that spark bloom into flame. This beautifully written story does that so, so well in a really compelling Modern AU setting. Zuko and Katara here are so wonderfully lovable, and it’s a joy to watch them fall for one another, too.

Journeys by Smediterranea (E), Modern AU: In real life, I want to see my friends in relationships with people who can recognize why they’re so particularly amazing. That potential, I think, part of the appeal of ZK as a ship, and that’s part of the special magic of this fic. Watching these two characters get to know one another—really see one another—and fall in love deliciously sweeps the reader up. Plus, really fun, in character cameos from the rest of the Gaang along the way.

Spark, set fire by marijayne (T), Modern AU: literary fanfic, and I mean that in the best way. This story is beautiful and bittersweet, the latter is not often something I seek out in fanfic (where I hide from life), but here it’s gorgeous and worth it. The world building here is really cool—allows the author to explore some of a set of cultural issues/interactions that both echo the ATLA world and ours. The characters are so tenderly drawn (dadko especially)—and the connection between them builds beautifully and tangibly—and the longing is…chef’s kiss. 

Wrong when it's right by nire (T), Book 1 Canon Divergence: Before I read this, I couldn't imagine wanting to read a Book 1 Zutara. After, I wanted more. Bickering, bed-roll sharing, shared heat, tenderness and common ground. A delight from start to finish.

Anyway, thanks for asking and happy reading! <3 And if you want more recs, let me know.

[attempted--eloquence]

hiii i hope you are having a good day/night! ♡ fellow theo raeken apologist here and i love ur fics so much. if you dont mind me asking how do you think thiams chemistry/relationship develops after 6b?

Eep thank you so much!! I really appreciate it :))💕

Okay okay, so I would like to preface this by saying I think there is something inherently imperfect (not in a negative way!) about Thiam as a ship which is partially why I like them? I think and write about them a lot differently now than I used to, partially because with time I’ve started to interpret their compatibility (or lack thereof) in a less idealistic way.

I think I can imagine their relationship being various degrees of both antagonistic and intimate in a way that goes beyond, like…simple romance?

This may sound very cynical but Theo and Liam in s6 feel lopsided and inherently temporary to me. Kinda doomed. Like they’re only capable of being close to each other under dangerous circumstances and like they can bring out the worst in each other (in that they know exactly how to push each others’ buttons and will do it when provoked). They’d never be each other’s first choice in life but might be each other’s first choice in a fight.

This is all to say: I like that. They’re messy and have a brief, tumultuous history together that can build into a shaky, semi-tumultuous future. They see each other. They don’t pull their punches.

I think Theo probably has more intuitive pairings (coughcough, Scott) and—you know that Richard Siken poem where it’s like he was pointing at the moon but I was looking at his hand? Sometimes I feel like I’m writing Thiam like that. With the sense that Liam is looking at Theo and Theo is looking at Scott lmao. (Or actually maybe more like: Theo is hugging Liam but looking over Liam’s shoulder at Scott) bc I think the relationship they have together is influenced by the relationships—platonic or otherwise—they separately have with Scott, and the history of shit they’ve both done to Scott (the “why do you keep trying to save me” convo in the locker room comes to mind. Scott is this specter hanging over both of their heads.)

I think Liam and Theo grow close like thorn bushes. To me they’re like…“I will not be a safe place for you to land but I will pick you up off the ground once you’ve fallen on your ass and tell you to keep fucking running.”

Pretty sure I’ve talked about this before but I also think there’s also a sense of teenage normalcy that Theo gets with Liam which is a breath of fresh air for a guy who grew up in a lab lmao. And I think Theo lessens the (semi self-imposed) burden of authority/responsibility/culpability on Liam’s shoulders.

I hope this answers your question but I feel like it probably doesn’t 😭 If this is the most doomerist thiam take from a thiam writer I’m so sorry shdhjshk I really am obsessed with them and will continue to dissect them under a microscope (lovingly)💗

Clarity and advice for your situationship (PAC)

Pile 1

I see that the connection could feel great when it comes to physical connection and chemistry but the emotional aspect is lacking, I see that you guys aren’t compatible in the way you guys need to be in order for the connection to work. The connection might have been better in the beginning but things don’t feel the same, if you want more balance in the connection then you need to reciprocate the same energy that the other person is giving you. I see that detaching yourself from this connection will help bring more balance and peace into your life, if things end naturally then you should let it go and don’t try to renew the connection.

Pile 2

I see that the connection may feel stagnant or stale, you guys may have some unresolved issues that you didn’t really talk about. I see that the physical connection is lacking but you both enjoy being around each other, I see that you need to listen to your intuition more and stop second guessing yourself. You guys need to talk about what bothering you and maybe apologize to each other. Signs- Gemini, Capricorn, Leo. Pisces in 4th house/scorpio in 12th house, initial- D, O, L, U, R

Pile 3

I see that you guys may struggle with communication, I see someone here feels like they can’t really express themselves without beating around the bush. I see that someone here feels like they’re being controlled or they don’t have enough power in the connection which makes it unbalanced, I see that you guys should be more open emotionally and work on the unbalanced power dynamic in the connection, I see that one of you needs to work on taking the initiative and taking more action. You should also work on communicating better or patience. Signs- Scorpio/aquarius, Pisces in 8th house/ Scorpio in 9th house. Initials- U, A, Y

Here are my collected thoughts on why I ship Fenro and not Fendra

@shychick-52 @rommaru

First, if the DT crew wanted to make Fendra canon, they should’ve actually had more episodes building up their relationship, instead of shoehorning all that development in just Beaks in the Shell. Just like georgiarose answered in their respective post.

It wouldn’t have been hard to have Gandra genuinely apologize to Fenton for being in cahoots with Mark Beaks and lying to him in the process, but the show never does that due to the Duck family’s main character syndrome and the show’s cast bloat. Then there are the episodes in Season 3 where Gandra doesn’t interact with Fenton until the final episodes of Season 3, and her redemption arc doesn’t get developed throughout the same season, only in Beaks in the Shell. Heck throughout their “date” in Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee, Gandra did criticize two of Fenton’s experiments for not being risky “What if you don’t like glazed doughnuts?” -Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee” and for conforming with Mcduck’s corporate checklist “So, Rich boss McDuck gets to gobble up all of the Earth’s precious gems for himself? What’s next, some kind of Gold magnet?” - Same episode, although I do agree with her anticapitalist belief, which is the one trait I’m tolerable of. During that whole lab session she also demonstrated her own tech, her Eyebuds and Nanites, WITHOUT Fenton’s permission, to show how good her free lance tech is (which honestly felt like a red flag to me)

Exhibit A, Gandra testing her nanites on Fenton, without his permission

In the whole series, Fenton is a lawful good duck and Gandra’s obviously morally grey, and as you watch Gandra’s cover get blown during the climax of Dangerous chemistry of Gandra Dee you begin to become disappointed with her when she doesn’t apologize to Fenton for double crossing him, that very episode made me completely disappointed in the character herself.

Dialogue is also from The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee:

Fenton: So I’m the suit? You’re the one working for Beaks!

Gandra: I work for myself. I just …used him for funding and resources.

Fenton: For what? Was any of this real? What are you?

Gandra: A scientist, free of responsibility, and look …for what it’s worth, you’re a good scientist.

Fenton: And you’re a crook.

If you focus on Gandra’s lines, there is an underlying hypocrisy to her character, she is also responsible for creating the nanites to cause Mark Beaks to go berserk. The dialogue reaffirms that Gandra did not formally apologize to Fenton and took accountability for her actions at the end of her debut episode.

Reminder, I rage quit watching the Ducktales reboot after seeing spoilers for Beaks in the Shell. There was not a lot of compatibility and build up to Fenton and Gandra falling in love together near the end of the series. The reason they started their relationship is because of Huey and Webby forcing them to get together on a date, while completely disregarding Fenton’s boundaries in the process, and this is something you should never do IRL. Due to Gandra being a hypocrite claiming she’s a rebel scientist only to reveal she was forced to work for F.O.W.L. Through her sob inducing backstory (Playing the guilt card are we?) does sum up how her redemption arc or lack thereof, didn’t make it feel compelling to us at all. Since Gandra and Fenton only interacted in 3 episodes total, through Beaks in the Shell we learn that they’re in a secret relationship and run science experiments together in a virtual reality which also had so many plotholes. Beaks in the Shell made Fenton and Gandra’s relationship feel rushed and forced with no substance to it at all, they just made them canon to constantly enforce heteronormativity like Disney and pander to the Shippers.

And then you have Fenton’s relationship with Gyro who surprisingly interacted more with him than with Gandra in the entire series. Fenton may be lawfully good and friendly while Gyro is antisocial and focused on his inventions they actually have a solid dynamic and were able to play off of each other. Throughout season 1 and Astroboyd they had a gradual build up of care and respect and especially in Astroboyd Gyro ends up promoting Fenton to a doctor to show the respect he now has for him.

Dialogue is from near the end of AstroB.OY.D.

Yes, intern. I was once like you. Of course, I was a naive idiot back then. But if I had someone to actually listen to me, I might not have been so hopeless. So... you're hired full-time, Dr. Crackshell-Cabrera.

Fenro: That's not technically how doctorates work,and I don't care!

Gyro: Okay, everybody, the hugging is a "just for today" thing.

Exhibit B, Fenton happily embracing Gyro after being promoted to a full time job as a Doctor. Also this hug was before Gyro protected Fenton before Boyd could attack him and managed to apologize and embrace Boyd for the mistake he made in the past. Guess which scientist is more committed to their responsibilities in the whole reboot? Also Gyro reconciling with Boyd and promoting Fenton was the best way to have his character arc go off on a high note and helped improve his relationship with Dr. Crackshell-Cabrera.

Fenton and Gyro helped fight off the main antagonists in all 3 season finales of the Ducktales reboot, they had great chemistry together whenever they’re on screen, they’re opposites attract, they’re both brilliant scientists, heck, that’s why I enjoyed watching scenes of them together, and why I ended up shipping them even thought they didn’t end up together. Fenton and Gyro were awesome characters that had the best designs in the reboot. You’ll also know it’s a problem in the episodes featuring Gandra, the writers had to completely change Fenton and Gyro’s dynamic in order to have Gandra and Fenton be more “compatible”. Due to realizing that they ended up realizing they gave Fenton and Gyro way more chemistry than they did with Gandra. Look these two whole posts aren’t hot takes these are just my opinions I’m sharing with you. Also I wasn’t trying to antagonize the Fendra shippers at all in this critical post. Tl;dr, Fenton and Gyro’s relationship got no homo’d out of existence near the end of the series, and Fendra ended up feeling very forced and obviously rushed with Gandra’s character feeling poorly handled by the DT17’s writers. Fun fact, Beaks in the Shell was one of the least watched episodes out of the series.

I have a lot of complicated feelings about "Pietro Maximoff Syndrome," but I do think it makes sense for him and Tommy, both, to struggle with communication because they're just... not on the same wavelength as most people. It takes effort for their friends and loved ones to keep pace with them.

You can run into some challenging optics when you have characters whose powers create, for lack of a better term, a neurological difference which may interfere with behavior, cognition, or communication. Similarly, the politics of using powers to treat or accommodate for such differences can be loaded. There are healthy and helpful examples, but then there are abusive situations, like Sabretooth and Birdy, and ostensibly well-meaning characters like Professor X who may, at times, go too far with their psychic interventions.

This scene, in Scarlet Witch, rubbed a lot of people the wrong way because what Wanda is doing here is non-consensual. There's an alternative approach to this moment where Wanda could simply remind Pietro that her magical abilities do allow her to read people's energy, and she's had a whole lifetime to get used to keeping up with his energy in particular-- basically reminding him that she can see through his bullshit without making it into a situation where she's intentionally violated his privacy. You then can expand this idea into a scenario where Pietro, and by extension, Tommy, feel vulnerable, but well-supported by each of their twins and Luna, who has similar abilities. They understand him, when so much of the world struggles to keep up.

Anyway, I think it's a benefit to Pietro and Monet's relationship that she has enhanced speed and telepathy-- obviously she's not as fast as him, but she's able to bridge that interpersonal gap that Pietro struggles with, and I imagine she feels more comfortable with a partner she doesn't have to worry about constantly outpacing. Powers shouldn't be the only thing that dicate compatibility, but it's nice when they do provide extra chemistry.
