If it wasn't already obvious, I absolutely love friends to lovers :')
I've worried previously if that could become annoying, but why should I even be concerned about that??? I'm just doing this for fun, and if I've learned anything, it's that there's always going to be at least 1 person who enjoys what you create.
so yes, I will be completely self-indulgent in all of the stuff that I write 🙏 because why not 🧘♀️

Okay, but your room should be next door to mine, so when I'm feeling down and out and unlike myself, I can just let myself in and flop face down onto your bed and just be around you.
#a presence can be enough#quietly unalone can bring more of a peace than words sometimes#like maybe I just need another energy to dance with mine#to feel a little brighter a little stronger when sharing a space with yours#maybe it makes sense maybe it doesn't#friends lovers and others#✨️🫧🤍#me? feeling down and unlike myself?#idk what gave you that idea#♡

Don’t even talk to me about this Frenchie and Kimiko development.
#disappointed but not surprised#the boys#the boys spoilers#frenchie x kimiko#kimchie#like look Frenchie has been bi from the jump that’s not the problem but taking this route with the two of them is such a slap in the face#to their greater than romantic or platonic soulmate thing#it should always be the two of THEM before anyone else that’s like how they work….?#they are lovers best friends family twin flames the others half?????#blah never trust kripke to do a soulmate story right 😔✊

You’re laughing.
Spock finally got to see his T’hy’la again, they’re souls reunited and became intertwined in the astral plane and YOU’RE LAUGHING
#spirk#spock#james t kirk#k/s#star trek#star trek unification#765874 unification#t’hy’la#it doesn’t matter if unification doesn’t make “spirk canon. they’re so much more than that. they are a part of each others souls#their stories are intertwined#they’re so much more than just gay because that’s not what makes their story powerful#they’re more than lovers they’re more than friends they’re more than brothers#they complete each other#there is no Spock without Kirk and there is no Kirk without Spock#somehow someway in every universe they will find each other

Co-creator of Batman Bill Finger did an interview in 1972 in which he responded to the question of whether Batman and Robin were “homosexual fantasies”.
His answer was that he “didn’t think of Batman and Robin in those terms.” But the next thing he says piqued my interest in regards to their intended relationship dynamic.
“I thought of [their relationship] in terms of … Frank Merriwell and Dick Merriwell, his half-brother, who was the kid he was taking care of.”
Brothers! Very interesting.
#batman#no but really though#the push to put them in the father and son box is extremely lazy#because you have this incredibly complex dynamic#that crosses so many different traditional relationship dynamics#father and son dynamic is THERE#but so is brothers#so is best friends#so is partners#AND YES#so is lovers#their seperation was extremely break-up coded#and so modern comics trying to say no no#it’s JUST father and son#and never considering anything else#is lazy and reductive#it posits that this is the Best relationship for them#like that bruce thinking of dick as his son and vice versa is a victory#like some long awaited conflict that is finally solved if they can just refer to each other as dad and son#here i go ranting in the tags again#longer than the original post#but i have so many thoughts#but the fact that their creation wasn’t even with this father and son dynamic agenda in mind is like :] ofc it wasn’t !!!!!#if it was they would have found some way for bruce to have just adopted dick!!!#he was his WARD for a reason!!! Not his dad!!#it’s!!!! complicated!!!!!

I just learned why Shad hates Irene in canon and knowing what I do now about everyone’s favorite the Matron, I can say with my whole heart,
What the hell, Irene
#I keep coming across audios of Hyria telling Irene’s story too#and I can see why the people of Ru’aun love Irene! I see the saint they do in the stories#but I can also see that by the time she got around to Shad she wasn’t that person anymore#she was alone because of her power until she came across Shad and I can see how that might develop into clinging onto him with such an#intensity that she sends him to other realms to foster whatever their relationship is and falling in love with him#Shad is the only person Irene has ever known that’s on the same level as her so it makes sense she wants#him as a lover as something more intimate than what they are#but Shad was tired of being feared and hated and so he falls for the one person who acts very positively towards him#all Shad wanted was to be loved. to have a family.#and he got it! he had the love of his life and a beautiful baby girl and even a close group of friends in the Divine Warriors#and when they need the relics to protect the realm he understands that they’re made with human souls and he accepts that#for the sake of the greater good#only for Irene to use their daughter to make HIS relic and not tell him he’s using the weaponized version of their daughter’s soul#he’s obviously furious when he finds out. he confronts Irene heartbroken that she would do such a thing. Why their daughter?#and then she turns the rest of the Divine Warriors (who all worship her) against him#No wonder Shad wants revenge! No wonder he’s after every last fragment of his relic he can get his hands on#that’s all that’s left of his baby#Or maybe I’m thinking way too hard about a block roleplay#mcd irene#mcd shad#divine warriors#dropofsunlightextras#mcd rewrite#mcd#aphmau minecraft diaries#minecraft diaries#aphblr

if i see one more post about how solas/mythal/elgar'nan had a weird love triangle thing going on i'm gonna scream
#probably gonna annoy some people by saying this#but i think it is really telling that taash's response 'they were doin' it'#is positioned in a way that strongly implies it's the immature response to take#not to say i'm 100% right bc they left it deliberately vague for a reason#you're meant to make up your own mind#and i personally do not see this as a stupid love triangle bc a. i fucking hate love triangle plots they're overdone and boring#and b. it's stated multiple times that the ancient elves felt things in different ways that can't be fully understood by mortals#so deducing that it was a romantic bond is an oversimplification of something that's actually very abstract#falon'din and dirthamen were called both twins and lovers by legends but it turned out to be neither of those things#they were just one spirit split into two#the only two that i think were actually romantically involved were ghil and andruil bc it's stated that they fell in love in the abyss#and there are statues of them naked holding hands apparently#we didn't get enough info about sylaise and june to really say much about their relationship#the actual regret memory of solas and mythal meeting in secret#is the memory that the inquisitor gives to rook#and it appeared after the ritual was interrupted and solas killed varric#when varric told him to stop#when varric expressed his love for his friend and died for it#the parallel is not of lovers but of solas taking mythal's place and varric taking his#ugh i'm just so uncomfortable with the solas/mythal romance stuff#like it actually nauseates me#not out of jealousy but bc his whole story is him dealing with the horrific trauma bond he formed with her#and those are so often borne from family bonds#like mythal is just one big mother wound to solas#i honestly think if they were lovers they would just state it as such#but people have a hard time imagining devotion as being anything other than romantic ig#sad bc platonic relationships can sometimes be more intense than romantic ones

All that shitting on ships aside i fuckn love Lynxfall it's genuinely a great ship
Snowfall CRYING at the prospect of Lynx going on some mission to another continent bc she's so afraid Lynx'll maybe die is so heartwarming to see specifically from her bc of her usual cold attitude
It's such a great way to show that Snowfall does truly treasure Lynx's companionship (platonic or romantic either work i just happen to love them as a couple)
I also absolutely love that Lynx blocks Tundra while Snowfall breaks the name wall idk why i just really like that scene
#lynxfall#snowfall wof#lynx wof#wings of fire#wof#i absolutely love it#probably bc when lynx is 'pushing' snowfall it doesn't feel as invasive as with qibli and winter#could be bc i'm also a sucker for friends to lovers#but like these two have known each other for WAY longer than qinter#mini side tangent that's one of the reasons I hate romeo and juliet like you're telling me you saw this person and you're that invested???#i like what it's based on way more bc the characters in pyramus and thisbe actually know each other and have been communicating for years#like that's way more interesting to me than 'i met her 5 seconds ago and i NEED to marry her'#recently found out that romeo n juliet was not actually written to be 'the greatest love story' and it's made me warm up to it more#it's far more interesting to me as the tragedy that it's actually written as rather than how people twist it that 'oh they WERE in love'#lol i got sidetracked#anywhosits yeah lynxfall in my opinion is a great ship

Garion, an Arbiter, and you, a Color Fixer. always at odds, at each other's throats, but never quite maiming or killing. you think she enjoys this, maybe she finds some sadistic joy in meeting you and fighting, again and again. to you, the company is almost something like happiness. anything constant is devoid in the life of a Color Fixer, a steady stream of hellos and goodbyes and false nods encased in a locked box of loneliness and isolation. all this for a color and a title and a list of benefits.
to think that your favorite part of the week would be one Arbiter tracking you down... how hilariously cruel. she's only using you, as the rest of them always do.
you nearly meet your end at the hands of another Color, a simple argument turning into a brawl that neither of you win nor lose. so you merely sit, back pressed against the wall and a hand gripping your torn skin. it's painful, not as much as it should be- pain is the only other constant in your life- but the amount of blood covers your skin dreadfully, losing more than anyone should. you fully expect to die that night, under the moon and clouds. more will come to fill your role in the City, and soon your title will be forgotten and washed away.
instead of death, there's a pair of hands neatly covering your wounds, the motion gentler than anything you can remember. the darkness covering your vision winks and twinkles like a pair of deep black gemstones, and a familiar, oddly soft voice reaches your ears.
"I will not abandon you, and in return, you shall not abandon me. We still have tomorrow's meeting, and the next, and the next, don't we?"
#project moon#lobotomy corporation#library of ruina#binah#binah lobcorp#binah library of ruina#no excuse for this one#other than i wanted to#lonely color fixer meets lonely arbiter#the rivals to acquaintances to friends to lovers pipeline

The inspiration struck tonight and I chased it!
Alvin 2.0 is an expert at covering for Jeanette when her social battery is low and she’s struggling to talk to people. Or when she’s at a gathering with a lot of people.
(If his social battery isn’t low too, that is)
She gave him the purple crystal pendant too. It’s supposed to channel positive energy.
#alvin and the chipmunks#alvin seville#jeanette miller#aatc#alvinnn!!! and the chipmunks#alvinette#friendship#romance#cute#adhd boyfriend x autistic girlfriend#actually both have both#they just show one more than the other#digital art#colorful#rainbow#STILL DRAWING DESPITE THE STATE OF THE WORLD#i think about these two constantly#friends to lovers

have you ever had something so significant and impactful happen to you but it’s in a really niche area that you can’t really tell anyone in your general life about, so you’re just left imploding and silently screaming???? it’s hell 😭😭
very long story made semi-short; my found family and i have attended and contributed to a live action role play camp twice a year for almost a decade now that’s based on hogwarts/the hp universe and really fucking well made by a skilled team. and you get really fucking attached to these characters because for a few weeks every year you live as them and make friends as them and it’s REAL even though it’s not. my last character was so fucking devastating and important to me, and she had this epic tragic love story with my best friend’s character. we haven’t played them since we finished their storyline in 2023. AND MY BEST FRIEND WAS JUST ASKED TO RETURN AS THAT CHARACTER FOR THIS YEAR’S CAMP????? that’s HUGE, the game masters never make requests like that and it’s super secret but he told me (because it would be cruel not to with our characters’ backstories) and i’m just reeling with shock and excitement and fear. like i’m left REELING at the fact that i get to see him again (him being my bsf’s old character) (bc when you finish playing someone you never get to “see” them again uknow? it’s a whole thing) and also at what this means and all the wounds from the two of them are opening up again and we’re just DYING. we have no idea why he was asked back or what will happen it’s INSANE YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. to deal with it all i’m knitting and crocheting him a bunch of different things that my character has made for his (they live together on her family farm and she uses crafts and art to cope</33) and we’re just literally crying. i love them, they’re sunshine x sunshine and literal soulmates — i made that character based on the concept of what would happen if a sensitive, creative child had the most gentle and accepting parents who cultivated kindness. and then there was a war and her parents were fucking killed offfffff and it was such a huge thing. she lost her leg, her boyfriend lost his eye. it was a whole thing. i’m jittery with emotion and handcrafting at god’s speed because this camp is in three weeks and i’m just. dying. and screaming. my poor wife. (dw she attends the camp too and is screaming with me)
#anyway#sorry for that lore dump#this will be consuming me for the next forseeable future#of all the characters i’ve played at this camp or others she changed me the most#just the sweetest little girl#and he’s the sweetest little boy#and he went through hell but found peace in her and she had her peace but was then dragged through hell with him#star crossed lovers tortured side by side it was INSANE#i want to underline that this is and was so much fun#but these characters were finished in 2023 so to have it be rehashed now is such an intense experience#especially when only my best friend and i (and our partners) know#like. i will never write a story more satisfying to me than my characters’ arcs at these camps#and that one specifically was SO straight out of a movie#like with role play you never know what you get but it was PERFECT#i could write the scenes into fan fiction and it would have been platinum content i swear#we’re talking she was being singled out for torture bc she was seen as so pure and sweet that to break her would send the biggest message#and he transfigured her a flower into a ring that she could spin and begged her to just spin the petals and focus on that#and held her as she sobbed thinking it was her fault#AND CONFESSED HIS LOVE IN THAT MOMENT BUT THEN THEY ERASED HER MEMORY#them being the bad guys#it was wild i wish i could ever communicate it to someone who don’t attend that camp#it’s very much a you had to be there thing#but lord do i wish i could play my memories like a movie for everyone to see#A NYWAY#carina needs to get her shit together

I hate when there's a ship I'm not into but I don't actually dislike it and then over time seeing it more makes me start to hate it. I wish I could just. Enjoy other people's joy instead of like grimacing whenever I see art of it. It's obviously not a Real Issue and I'm overthinking it but eh
#Also I'm just so tired of male and female characters not being allowed to be Friends. Like why is this still an issue in fandom#They are Best Friends they mean more to each other than anyone else#and they are Not Lovers because that's Not Necessary for them to love each other#Why can't you appreciate their friendship why can you only engage with any relationship if it's romantic. it's so lame

every time i see bakudeku compared to k/ance (now specifically in terms of them getting shafted in the ending and/or accused of queerbaiting) i take psychic damage
#i am NOT tagging this one mainly because i don't want to bring down the fucking horde of klance shippers on my head#i was there. i was part of the fandom. and i STILL don't understand how or why THAT was the massive ship#y'all are clinging to something that stopped being relevant after SEASON ONE in an EIGHT SEASON LONG show#lance spent the ENTIRE series crushing on (and eventually fully falling in love with) allura#allura who slowly started to reciprocate. allurance CONTINUED to get ship tease EVEN as she fell for lotor#literally 85% of the significant klance moments/interactions were in the first season#i don't know how y'all kept clinging to a ship that gave you absolute scraps#as for keith. again i watched voltron myself. i even BRIEFLY shipped klance when the show first came out#because again - season one was GREAT for them. a strong foundation for a ship! but that foundation was NEVER built upon#then season two hit and i was quite happy to pivot to sheith which is where i remained until the ending#keith spent the entire show very devoted to shiro. you don't have to read it romantically but it's a hell of a lot easier to do so#than ever imagining he'd feel that way about lance after he just. basically stopped caring about him post s1#meanwhile lance slowly let go of the (one-sided) rivalry and just focused more and more on allura#comparing klance and bakudeku feels like a fucking crime to me.#klance was a once-promising rivals to lovers arc that IMMEDIATELY fizzled out into them being kind of friends.#but specifically The Friends Who Never Hang Out kind. while both parties were lowkey obsessed with someone else.#this ship was NEVER going to happen when it became clear around s4-5 that the writers DID NOT CARE about it at all#(and they went on record saying they were surprised it was so huge!)#meanwhile until the trashfire epilogue bakudeku spent the ENTIRE series obsessed with each other#they were friends to enemies to rivals to friends with everyone HOPING they'd get a canonical 'to lovers' tacked on#they got the MOST development in the series individually and as a pair (platonically or otherwise)#THIS ship had legs and was only denied greatness because it was struck with the typical shounen homophobia curse#PLEASE stop comparing one of the greatest arcs and relationships (even if it stumbled at the finish line)...#that i have EVER seen... to That. to fucking... two bros chilling in a hot tub (five feet apart cause they're not gay)#(except keith MIGHT be. just not for lance. sorry not sorry.)
