#otp rant

I still can't get over how percy, even having lost 99% of his memory, STILL rejected reyna, who is arguably the most BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL woman in camp jupiter, all because he had the VAGUEST inkling that he was in LOVE with a girl named annabeth... and at that point the only thing he could remember about her was her NAME.

he is down BAD for her and she is for him too so you literally CANNOT be telling me they AREN'T meant to be together... like bro they raised the whole ass RELATIONSHIP STANDARD simply by EXISTING tf you mean they aren't MADLY in love with each other???

[bertoyana]

no no YOU DON'T GET IT. charles just got shot and he's crying because he knows he has to break erik's heart. he just GOT SHOT he's bleeding out and he's crying because he knows it has to end. you don't get it!!! he promised erik, all those months ago, that he wasn't alone, he promised him that THIS TIME it was going to be different, and everything that just went down in the beach proved him wrong!! it just proved that erik was right about the humans. and charles swore up and down that it could be differet, that it WOULD be different. and he's bleeding out and yet he's crying because HE KNOWS he was the one that gave erik hope about them and he knows now that he has to be the one to take it away!! erik is on his knees (literally) asking him to be by his side. he's gripping onto his hope and onto charles (which is the same thing to him really) leaving claw marks on him, he's asking him to be by his side holding onto the last thread of hope and charles KNOWS he has to be the one to take it way from him. I'M SICK. james mcavoy YOU ARE SICK be careful out there old man i'm IN YOUR WALLS

we literally start watching this movie knowing how it's gonna end. we know they will go their separate way and that they have their days counted but THEY DON'T KNOW THAT. they were doomed from the start it was never going to work but they didn't know that!! they were so alone their entire lives and they are so desperate to make it work and it WON'T WORK. I'M GOING TO BE SICKKK. ACTION MOVIE MY ASS THIS IS AN HORROR MOVIE GIRL THE LEADS ARE BREAKING EACH OTHER'S HEARTS AND TRAUMATIZING EACH OTHER IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE

Loving Shadow and Amy will always be my favourite daily activity. 💞

I’ve shipped so many characters in my day.. but Bilbo and Thorin have me in a soul tie chokehold… they are my favorite all time ship ever shipped in this wild crazy world of shipping. The actual crazy part of it is I can’t tell you necessarily why. I just watched the movies like everyone else and couldn’t deny how down bad they were for each other. In my reality they had a happy ending and that’s just that. If I HAD to pinpoint why I ship them and love them so much it’s because how perfectly intertwined they became to be for one another. How gentle Thorin found himself to be around Bilbo.. and how Bilbo came to be so protective of Thorin. They needed the other and I think that’s honestly a precious thing ❤️❤️❤️

okay i wanna test something

elaborate in the tags, if you will

I saw a post that was like "P&P is about a man listening to the love interest and unlearning his toxicity" and it's similar enough to many others I've seen that I'm just ... aghhhh.

ffs Elizabeth is not the love interest; she is the protagonist of the damn book and P&P is primarily about her character and development and experiences. If you care more about Darcy's, okay; that doesn't mean it's what the book is about.

Yes, Darcy listens to Elizabeth's criticisms despite the circumstances and that's good. But that framing makes it sound extremely one-sided, yet Elizabeth's arc (which, again, is the main focus of the novel) is contingent on seriously considering what Darcy says and drastically overhauling her conceptions of pretty much everyone involved. The listening goes both ways!

Not going to lie, "toxic" and its variants are losing all meaning for me at this point.

For all the sayings that tarlos is a poor substitute for a certain ship or got together too soon or don’t have any development or years of slow burn and realization. You know what? it is actually one of the reason I love that tarlos started the way that they were. I love that it tells a story of how two people meet and get attracted to each other, and start seeing how that grew into either a relationship or not. Because yes ! (Suprise) that is how most romantic relationships started in real life! I love how banal it is! And them not having 6 years of build-up or how they both were still dealing with their own issues and insecurities and working thru it while also working on being with each other does not make it any less valid of queer story. I hope someday we won't dismiss queer relationships and stories because of how fast they got together or how much of a family member they consist of (ehm tarlos not having kid @ fox)

I love seeing them not only have feelings for each other but the way the show portray their love as an act, that them being with each other is a conscious choice and effort they both make. I hope someday we won’t be dismissing any queer story whether they got together after six years of pinning or got together immediately. They are soulmate.

*and having queer characters portrayed by queer actors will always be a big freaking bonus.

It will never not irk me durning my play throughs, when Astarion is like “the orthon is nothing!”

*** que my eye twitching ***

My guy. My dude. My brother in the Absolute. Excuse me? Da F***?

The orthon is part of the Gauntlet! The makers wouldn’t have had him in the Gauntlet if it was going to be easy!!!!

I have been bloodless since you came out of the closet. Keeping your perky undead ASS happy. I’m f***ing with the devil Raphael to unlock your quest. You really wanna give me lip right now. Do you have any idea what my approval rating is with the other companions ? I am “passing the salt at dinner “ away from a goddamn marriage proposal from Gale, and I haven’t even flirted or slept with him!!!!

I will always pick “repeat after me: thank you for helping me, it was very kind” cause I love Astarion , but he fully tests my patience at time.

Tohle je Pepa Boháček appreciation post. Myslím, že nikdo pořádně neocenil, jak moc se o všechny kluky stará, on je doslova jejich máma. Dobře, Jenda za ně mluví s dospělými, ale to je všechno. Jinak akorát simpí pro Leontýnku a ostatní mu jsou celkem jedno. Zkrátka a dobře, Boháček je geniální vynálezce a matka samoživitelka v jednom

☆ — reactions to screaming and crying II. by @ricesinspo, credits appreciated!

— ☆ —

[★] running to someone else because you're not sure what to do, "help! they're crying, what do i do?????"

[★] running to someone else, but to 'report misbehavior', "ugh they're being annoying! stop them!!"

[★] asking "what's wrong?", only to give half-hearted advice that is barely assuring, if even at all.

[★] sitting by their side; as in being just there. perhaps you're not quite sure how to help.

[★] staying quiet. saying nothing. staring disapprovingly for a while, then, "... are you done."

[★] "you know this is hard for me too, right? you're making this even harder. so stop it."

[★] "what's wrong with you?! say it! don't just scream and cry as if anyone's going to understand!" (<- is the person making it difficult for them to open up)

[★] "you know crying won't solve anything, right?"

[★] "what happened? this isn't like you at all..."

[★] ^ the above but more condescending, "where did my good and cheerful child/friend/[relationship]/[name] go?"

[★] "suck it up."

Thinking about my turn of the 20th century arranged marriage AU with Rhett and how he’s immediately smitten with his wife-to-be even though they’ve never met before. That is all.

[angerxdisgust]

This is how I feel about the ships I like. I feel I just want to give up since they ain’t popular. Why don’t people like AnxeityXEmbarrassment and DisgustXAnger? It hurts I feel I am the only one. Maybe I should force myself to ship AngerXJoy, FearXAnxiety and SadnessXEmbarassment but I hate these ships but I can pretend I worship it so I fit in. I hate being different. When I grew up in the 00’s being different were something negative I just want to be a part of a bandwagon

Reasons I love Chaggily

1. They work well together, let me explain. (The plot could easily set them up to be in a throuple)

While Charlie and Vaggie are an amazing couple, ( and I absolutely ship them together) adding Emily to the mix would make complete sense. Whether Emily falls at some point or decides to help Charlie and Vaggie, they all have one thing in common. They have been lied to, and or hurt by heaven’s actions. Making the perfect situation for them to bond over shared trauma.

Season 1 Ending Spoiler coming up in my next sentence!!! You have been warned.

With Sir Pentious making it to heaven, Emily has more motivation and reason to help Charlie and Vaggie with the Hotel. Or at least find a way to stop heaven from continuing the exterminations. Like I said before this places the characters in a perfect spot to work together/get to know each other better. (Assuming this is the route Emily chooses to go, in order to help Charlie and Vaggie)

If all three of them interact more in season two or three we could get cannon Chaggily, but ultimately it is up to the writers and producers. I would be shocked and thrilled if chaggily became cannon, but I am satisfied with Chaggie staying in a relationship.

2. They work together as foils for each other’s character development.

In the event that Emily continues to realize that heaven isn’t what it says it is, Charlie can remind her of all the good that is still in the world while Vaggie can relate to, and understand where Emily is coming from.

In the event that Emily falls, Charlie and Vaggie would be the perfect people to help her through everything. This would set them up to spend more time together and possibly end up together in a throuple.

For Charlie, Emily brings the eye opening experience of realizing that Heaven isn’t all it says it is. While Vaggie helps support Charlie’s dreams, Emily could bring a more painful, but open view of Heaven to Charlie. And that is not to say that Emily wouldn’t believe in Charlie’s dream, but she could bring the realization that many “Sinners” can’t get to heaven just from trust exercises.

For Vaggie, Emily and her share a feeling of betrayal from Heaven. Vaggie’s betrayal is far more intense than Emily’s of course, but if Emily falls (that would change things). With Emily’s arc of learning that heaven isn’t what it says it is, Vaggie and her can bond over the fact that they both hate, or for Emily specifically (starting to hate the way heaven treats “sinners”)

I could keep ranting about Chaggily, but I don’t want to be overwhelming.

Thank you for reading this, if you made it through my rant. :) I would love to talk about Chaggily anytime!!

HOLY. COW???

THIS IS ALL OF MY THOUGHRS AND I LOVE THAT YOU PUT THEM INTO WORDS! I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING, THANK YOU!!

PLUSS, i toats agree that Chaggie by itself is a satisfying relationship that can just be by itself, and if the writers were to go down that route i wouldnt be mad myself. But the crazy potential of CHAGGILY. Is INSANE. and you pretty much took the words out of my mouth! Its just such a beautiful relationship that would work perfectly as for the dynamic, character growth, plot, etc etc! Thank you anon 🫶🫶

drarry have a soft love, and i think that's what draws me into them, because it isn't what you'd expect.

you wouldn't expect these two boys brought up on opposite sides of the war, one told that he was nothing and the other told he was everything, who fought against each other for six years and resented the very thing the other stood for to be soft.

you wouldn't expect a rivalry as full-time and in depth as theirs to turn into a soft love, but it does. because when a plant begins to rot, you change the soil, and it grows back better.

when you take them out of that environment, and they're no longer the two boys that the school watched vigilantly to see the next argument, they're just,,, two boys. they're two boys with an uncomfortable home life, four shoulders arching from the weight of overwhelming expectation after expectation being placed upon them, who need that ache handled by someone who knows what it is, and just two boys who know each other inside out.

one that knows that harry likes treacle tart and runs hot (previously. cold, ever since the forest), who places his friends above himself, who loves quidditch, who's smart even if his grades aren't the best, who loves his found family, wears oversized jumpers knitted for him by his second mother, etc etc etc. and one that knows that draco runs cold (previously. hot, ever since the room of requirement), who's smart and prides himself on it, who bottles everything up until he breaks down in a bathroom, who loves him mum more than anything, who draws in his free time. they spend years bickering, learning each others mannerisms, knowing which buttons to push, always anticipating the next move. and really?

they're just soft.

they spend years watching each other in the hopes of using it against one another or getting the upper hand or catching them in act, but all it does is lay the foundations of a love so so so sturdy, and a love so liveable, that it's immediately comfortable.

and you wouldn't expect that. but i think it's that immediate understanding and comfort that draws me into them as a pairing. they just know each other intrinsically.
