We all know that Phan is the OTP that has the ability to ruin comment sections and drive us to madness but like…that’s all secondhand.
Their love from an outside perspective has inspired some of the most beautiful and gorgeous love stories I have ever read, and the mere idea of them being in love (though we know it’s true let’s not fool ourselves here) can rally everyone behind them to support them with open arms
But that’s just their love from a secondhand experience! Imagine what it’s like to actually BE them experiencing it first hand…wow

I know it's only theorizing and no one knows for sure what will happen, but do you think Buddie or BuckTommy has more potential to be endgame?
As of today, I think Buddie is the last choice no matter who the "alternative" relationship might be, and it's not for the reason most people would assume. Yes, the odds of BOTH male main characters discovering their sexuality over time and falling in love are not very high, I won't argue with that. (Had one of them been introduced as bi the audience could have more easily picked up on potential romance in the future, IMO.) But the bigger issue, the issue nobody really seems to want to acknowledge, is that Buddie isn't that kind of ship. (What do I mean?) This isn't Ross and Rachel. Booth and Brennan. Castle and Beckett. (Notice a pattern there?) This isn't an OTP that the audience, the whole audience, is begging to have get together. Sure, there must be members of the general audience that would be fine with Buddie as a canon couple, but they're not waiting for it, they're not expecting it unless the show hands it to them first. Let's put ourselves in ABC's position for a sec. What's more important? Putting the fanon queer ship together to get "credibility" online/in the media no matter how many failed relationships it would take on both sides?* Or telling two stories that would satisfy the MAJORITY knowing that the loud minority will still keep watching because they refuse to give up hope? (*I just want to point out that often times characters go through multiple relationships because actors leave when contracts are up. Nobody brought in for Buck and Eddie has been written out by their request except for Connie. The plan was always to let them go even if it took some time to reach that conclusion, Annelise included - she was the only one who wouldn't let 9-1-1 make a fool out of her for the purpose of a split.)

5 OTP Songs - Got Lost & Found Love - Echo Gray/Nick Valentine
Saw um... @its-sixxers doing this and weeeeeell... thought I’d uh, give it a shot.
tagging: @glitchvault74, @roachvalentine, @potatocrab, @diredigression, @wastelandersparadise, @nuclear-darling, @commonwealthcommoner, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO DO IT. sadfsdfkhsd heck
(art drawn by @wastelandersparadise/ @pop-peroni ;w; <3 )
Electric Love by Borns|| Only the Lonely Survive by Marianas Trench|| Sleep by Poets of the Fall|| Kiss From a Rose by Dan Avidan & Super Guitar Bros (Seal cover) || Sway by Dean Martin
*lies the fuck down* You wanna hear me talk about lyrics, check below.
Electric Love by Borns
Honestly, this and a few other songs are very tea shop monsters au (long story) related, but I cannot stop associating this song to them. Helps that Nick’s a synth aaaaand Echo’s got (surprise!) electrokinesis as one of her psyker power(s).
And every night my mind is running around her Thunder's getting louder and louder Baby, you're like lightning in a bottle I can't let you go now that I got it
All I need is to be struck By your electric love Baby, your electric love Electric love
Also...its sappy af and super cheery and its what they deserve.
Only the Lonely Survive by Marianas Trench
So. I’m in slowburn hellscape with these two fools. This song is basically a mutual pining, we both have baggage, and “I can’t be loved.” combo deal.
I don't know how you feel yourself But I'd rather hurt here than be happy somewhere else No one will scar me like you do But no one will ever be compared, compared to you
The heart gets slow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We all heal though-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh You never know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh To stay or go
Echo’s been debating for as long as she’s been in Diamond City if she should leave or stay in Diamond City. She’s never voiced it to anyone except to Dogmeat. Hell, she’s afraid of getting close to anyone...in fear of being found out. Who she is... Who she could even trust...
Meanwhile, Nick’s got the baggage of a depressed pre-war cop in his head on top of all the shit he’s dealt with being a synth. It’s hard to know how anyone ( ESPECIALLY new) will react to him. Sure he’s got a quick tongue and will absolutely demolish folks if they even try to start shit- but that shit still hurts and is probably something he just... will sometimes get hit with especially during the quiet hours of the night when few folks in Diamond City are still awake...
Burns us both To love this close We lose ourselves And I know we won't get out alive But only the lonely survive
They are both lonely people trying to make do with the world they found themselves in and spread some kindness. They are both also very much idiots who will thrust themselves into very stupidly dangerous shit without thinking of themselves. dumbasses.
It hurts like hell To love this well But no one falls The way we fell We'll burn alive Only the lonely survive
Mutual Pining fools who cannot fathom anyone wanting to be in a close relationship (let alone intimate) with them because of the baggage they carry. Slowburn hell...where the other helps, slowly but surly, unpack the luggage and tell them to stay a while...
Sleep by Poets of the Fall
I’ve definitely mentioned uh this song before where I kinda see it as Nick watching Echo deal with her echoes nightmares no matter where they go in the wastes while on a case.
Hear your heartbeat Beat a frantic pace And it's not even seven AM You're feeling the rush of anguish settling You cannot help showing them in
It takes a while, but after realizing how tough it is for her to sleep sometimes, Nick starts offering his coat as a blanket, and surprisingly it...helps. While it can’t always block Echo’s ‘echoes’, it helps her sleep longer and well...after time it just becomes routine.
Still it don't mater if you won't listen If you won't let them follow you You just need to heal Make good all your lies Move on and don't look behind
As their bond and feelings grows stronger as well as realizing how much comfort they give each other...they start letting each other into the flashes they see...
Day after day Fickle visions messing with your head Fickle, vicious Sleeping in your bed Messing with your head Fickle visions Fickle, vicious
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in And carry you over to a new morning
Because Echo’s not the only one who sees memories that aren’t her own. Nick admits he gets glimpses of memories from pre-war!Nick, the guy whom’s brain the Institute (illegally) downloaded into a synth. This song sorta starts out as an almost lullaby of sorts, for Nick to try and help Echo get more sleep and turned into a shared “You’re tired while you’re brain never stops. Let me be here for you, and help you get through this.
Kiss From a Rose by Dan Avidan & Super Guitar Bros (Seal cover)
Not gonna lie the main reason why is just a few dashes of lyrics from this song:
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen
and
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Nick’s eyes literally glow and Echo’s eyes are silver gray...and well her last name is also Gray but yea lol. Does not help its got that slow dance energy. What do the lyrics mean? fuck if I know, its a song that gives me feels that’s all I got.
...Also...first kiss...eventually yes... *lies down*
Sway by Dean Martin
SO. This is like spoilers (cause its still WIP) but uh... ahem. Their first dance is to this song.
When Marimba Rhythms start to play Dance with me, make me sway Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore Hold me close, sway me more
The amount of times I’ve listened to this song for the fic..and then also like marked the end of certain lines to figure out timing of the lyrics? Ho man... ANYWAYS, I sorta hc that Nick would really enjoy the “crooners” like the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra; Dean Martin; those dudes) along with jazz music. Sway being one of his, uh, fav songs and a dif hc is that Nick likes to dance. Possibly having flashes from OG!Nick and associating dancing with good energy/memories. Finding a dance partner in the wastes is a bit hard.
Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak
MORE spoilers: Echo realizes she’s got a crush.
#as told by glow#tag meme#ship: got lost and found love#its music time#fallout 4#fo4#Samara 'Echo' Gray#fallout ocs#nick valentine#....hi i am having emotions askdfhsdf#its like 1am

In this post, I will share my observations on the relationship between Bloom and Valtor throughout the entire 3 seasons.
If you are as much a fan of this OTP as I am, then you probably noticed that Valtor is very careful about Bloom. He does not make any attempts to destroy her or deprive her of strength, the last episodes of the season are an exception, but even there it looks harmless. He does not allow himself to respond to her attacks, preferring to conduct dialogue, while the rest of the fairies suffer from evil spells.
Valtor very often says something, constantly touches on topics that are important to her, in order not only to save herself, but, possibly, to help her in some way. Because Sky is absolutely useless in this regard. Valtor understands how important it is for Bloom to find her parents, so he often turns around this topic, this is her weak point and his chance to become a little closer to her. He leads the dialogue calmly, often with a smile and rather courteously, like a gentleman. You just look at his face when he is talking with Bloom, and when he sees other fairies.
He lets her hit herselfas I said, he does not touch her, but allows him to touch himself. This can be justified by her strength and all that, but let's not fool ourselves) His desire to save her life is seen even in the final battle, when for the last time he offers her to join him: ”… join me and I will be able to control my body, and together we will destroy the ancient witches, their strength and knowledge of all the planets will become ours. And don’t forget Bloom, we are one and the same.“
Their meeting speaks for itself. When they did not know who is who / When they know each other 🔥
And what can you say about this OTP? Can you recall moments from the animated series when it was obvious?

I forget where I saw someone say that their Roswell NM OTP is every main character and a good therapist, ha (edited to add - it was @soberqueerinthewild, THANK YOU!) but it’s soooo true, and it got me thinking. Full disclosure - Malex is my end game. I hope they get it together. But once they do, they have so, so much trauma and hurt and issues between the two of them that to have a real, healthy relationship it would take a lot of work. And so this little fic was born.
Warning for relationship strife.
(Also edited to now include a "keep reading" option, which I had NO earthly idea how to put in last night on the tumblr mobile app, ha)
Here’s the AO3 link, if you prefer.
***
Michael stumbles out of the bedroom bleary-eyed, out of sorts.
Trepidatious.
The tension eases, slightly, when he smells the coffee, freshly ground.
He hasn’t left.
Not, not that he thinks he would, really, not that he has for years, now, but he can’t help it if that’s where his mind still goes.
Prosthetic’s not on, and he’s moving stiffly, with the crutches. Michael feels a pang of guilt, then anger. It’s Alex’s own damn fault, stubborn ass that he is. Wouldn’t sleep in the damn bed with Michael, and wouldn’t let Michael take the couch. So yeah, he’s probably feeling it this morning. Boo fucking hoo. Maybe next time he’ll just give in...
Michael should have never let him sleep on the couch.
Should have, could have locked him in the damn bedroom.
Michael knows he can hear him - Alex is always hyperaware of shit like that. He probably heard him the instant his feet hit the floor. So it’s frustrating as hell that he’s made no move to turn toward Michael yet, that there’s been no acknowledgement of his presence.
“Hey,” Michael finally says. Loud. Probably obnoxious. He’s wearing only his boxer briefs (nice ones, an Alex purchase last Christmas), and god dammit he’s gonna use that, knows it’s always been one of the best weapons he’s had against Alex and his moods. He ambles over to the kitchen, overly loose. Casual. Leans back, hands on the counter, body on display.
Alex finally eyes him, swallows hard. “Here,” he says, placing a mug of hot black coffee next to Michael’s hand.
The corner of Michael’s mouth quirks up, almost sly. “Thanks.”
“Mmm hmm,” Alex says. He’s still not looking at Michael, not really.
Michael makes a show out of blowing on the coffee, sipping it. He sniffs the air, frowns. “What am I smelling?”
“We had some bananas going bad. I made banana bread. It’s in the oven now.”
Michael’s frown deepens. “How long you been up?”
A shrug. “A while.”
And Michael can’t help it. “Guess the couch wasn’t too comfortable, then?” He sees the slight shake of Alex’s head, the eye roll. Then the guilt comes back, full force. “Look, I’m sorry. About last night. I should have texted.”
Alex is still just looking down at his own coffee cup, face tense.
Michael heaves a sigh and pushes himself off the counter. Approaches Alex from behind, finds him overly stiff when he finally touches him. “I’m sorry, okay? Real sorry.��� Skims his hands down Alex’s arms, to his hips, his thighs. “Come to bed and I’ll show you just how sorry.”
And normally, that would do the trick. Alex would fix Michael with one of those dark, intense looks of his, or maybe roll his eyes, even - bite back a smile. The sex was always good like that, too - a little wild, dirty. An edge to it.
This morning, though, Alex exhales. Shrugs off Michael’s touch. “I...” he starts. Then, “No.”
Michael’s eyes widen and he stumbles back, chastened. Scared, honestly. Because in all the time they’ve lived together, he doesn’t think Alex has ever turned him down, not quite like this.
He suddenly feels overexposed, shrinks back. Alex is wearing sweatpants, a sweatshirt. Michael wishes he would have pulled something on before coming out of the bedroom.
And he’s pragmatic. Cause he’s had to be. Already thinking about next steps, the Airstream. Isobel’s got a condo now, a nice one - same developer that did Kyle’s, though Isobel’s is nicer, of course... there’s no way her Homeowners Association is gonna let her shady brother park his shitty Airstream in the damn parking lot. He’s saved up some money, though, in these past few years, living with Alex. He’ll, he’ll have more options now than he did at 28, at 17.
He looks at Alex warily, watches him sit down heavily at their little kitchen table. He hangs his head, grips his coffee cup. “Are... are we fooling ourselves?”
“What?” Michael folds his arms in front of himself, like a barrier.
Alex isn’t looking him in the eye. “I just... All those years, when things didn’t work with us, it was so easy to blame all the other shit. The big, external things.”
And shit... this, this might really be it, Michael thinks. He, he’s been waiting for this - like, it was always kind of there in the back of his mind, but it... it maybe, really being here is something different. He tracks Alex’s every expression, every movement with wide-eyed alarm.
“My dad. DADT. Just, like, the military in general. You being,” he exhales shakily, “being an alien. Us seeing other people. And everything with Caulfield, Project Shepherd.”
Alex purses his lips. “But... but it’s just us now. And, and what if that’s the common denominator? Like, what if we’re the problem?” He’s shaking his head, looking stricken. “Dad’s dead, Project Shepherd’s shuttered...”
Michael leans his head back, sighs deeply. “What do you want, Alex? Just, what is this about?” Their eyes finally meet, briefly. “This is more than me forgetting to text.”
“Yeah, yeah it is.” Alex’s brow is furrowed. “It’s... it’s all the texts, that you’ve forgotten.” Michael open his mouth to protest, but Alex barrels forward. “And it’s all the times I’ve gotten mad about them. It’s the way we fight about stupid shit, like keeping the cabin clean, or what we should do on the weekends.” He bites his lip. “It’s all the times one of us has slept on the couch. All the times I’ve thought you were out with someone else. Someone easier, less complicated. All the times you’ve thought I was leaving.”
He’s rubbing at his neck. “Like, do we really think we can do this?”
Michael’s whole body feels tight, coiled. “Do you?”
Alex’s shoulders slump. “I... I don’t know, honestly.”
“Fuck,” Michael mutters, looking away.
“And that’s not to do with you.”
“Bullshit it’s not,” Michael grits out. “Don’t give me this ‘it’s not you it’s me’ bullshit.” He shakes his head. “Not with me.”
“Fine,” Alex says. “But it’s both of us. Like, we’ve been through so much shit, Michael. So much. And the way we grew up...” Alex’s eyes narrow. “You know I don’t know a single couple I’d want to be like? Not a single one where I’m like, wow, that’s a great relationship. Maybe I can have that someday.” He gives a disbelieving little laugh. “Not one! And sure as hell not, not a queer one. Or...” There’s another nearly hysterical little laugh. “Or an interspecies one, for fuck’s sake.”
Michael licks his lips. He’s, he’s grasping for ways to talk Alex down. “Is this about the wedding? Like, second thoughts? Are you, are you not ready?” Michael swallows. “Like, if you need time, I’ll give you time.”
Alex is just staring at him, and Michael starts ticking through the boxes of what else Alex could possibly need, want right now. “Is it, is it the idea of being with, with just me?” And god, he hates what he’s about to say, but he says it. “Cause, cause fuck, Alex, I love you. God knows I, I had years to fuck around. And I know you didn’t get that like I did, with the military and your dad and shit, so if you want that -“
“What the actual fuck, Michael?”
“I, I’m just saying -“
“Have you heard anything I’ve just said?”
And now Michael’s hurt. Offended. “Of course I have.”
“And your first thought was, what, maybe he wants to open this up?” Alex is looking at him, incredulous. “Like, do you?”
“No!” Michael exclaims. “I just, I love you Alex. I, I want you however I can have you.”
“And that’s part of the problem!” Alex says, desperate. “You’re so... so damn self-sacrificing sometimes. And let me just put it out there, for the damn record, you have me. You’ve fucking had me since I was 17, and, and I think I have you, but is that enough?” Alex is hunched over the table now. “Like, I want this to be good for us. Healthy. But, but how can we even know what that looks like?” He shakes his head at Michael. “Like, healthy is not volunteering to have a god damn open relationship at the first sign of trouble. Especially when you don’t even want one, my god.” He blows out a breath. Looks down. At his leg. “And it’s also not, not being a stubborn bastard and ignoring your own health just to stick it to your boyfriend and sleep on the couch.” He curses low, under his breath. “We’re both the problem, and I don’t know what to do with that.”
“I...” Michael starts, then stops. Buffy chooses this instant to trot up to him, curl herself against his bare legs, and fuck, he can’t, can’t imagine leaving Alex, leaving her...
“I left a voicemail for Dr. Ling this morning. Told her I want to start up regular sessions again,” Alex says quietly. “And I think, well, it was her suggestion, actually, when I was seeing her before. She said that maybe we should consider couple’s therapy.”
Michael scoffs, at that. Rolls his eyes.
Alex sees, and his jaw tightens. “You know,” he starts. “ I think it’s more than a little - “ he breathes, regroups. “I think it’s telling that you’d sooner suggest that we fuck other people than actually talk to someone about this.”
And fuck if he doesn’t have a point, there.
The truth of it rattles Michael, and he finally sits down across from Alex. Sets the coffee mug on the table, a little too rough. “I don’t want to have to go in there and lie.”
Alex purses his lips. “I... I get that. I know you hate that. But, with this, I think we could still get something out of it. I mean, I have to lie. To Dr. Ling. About you.” He sees Michael’s face. “And I know that’s not the same. It’s definitely not. But, but I think it could help us, Michael. I mean, even if we never even touch the alien stuff, there’s so much else.” He pauses. “And maybe, maybe we could learn. Learn to really talk to each other. So that when we did need to talk, about anything - even the alien stuff, especially the alien stuff - we could.”
And Michael looks at him, really looks. He’s just this side of desperate. Almost pleading, but... but there’s still hope. And the hope does it. Because he wasn’t lying when he said he’d do anything for Alex, and he knows it says something really fucking strange about him that, even after all these years, he’d find it easier to, to take a goddamn hammer for him than to open up like this, in this way. But at his core, he knows he’s right.
He breathes deep and looks right at Alex. “If it’ll keep you off this couch,” he says, pointedly, “then yeah, I’ll go put in my time on a different one.”
And Alex, Alex looks so relieved. Reaches across the table and grasps Michael’s hand with his own, still warm from gripping his coffee mug. “Thank you.”
Michael leans forward, then - cradles Alex’s face with his other hand, and gives him a kiss. A real one. Not urgent. Just... genuine.
And Alex smiles, pulls away and looks down, almost shy.
“What?” Michael asks.
“I, I just...” Alex finally looks at him, quirks an eyebrow. “I told myself I wasn’t gonna do this, this morning, told myself that we were gonna talk, but, well... want to spend a little time on, on our couch, first?”
The invitation is clear, and now it’s Michael’s turn to be relieved.
“Yes.”

“Falling for You”
Rafael Barba x Reader Mood Board and drabble (Part of the Hostage Series)
Prompt 22: Ice Skating for @thefanficfaerie‘s Christmas OTP challenge
With the chaos of getting everything ready for Christmas, you weren’t sure if you and Rafael would be able to celebrate your anniversary. While romantic at the time, perhaps getting married in December wasn’t the best idea. Luckily, with Sonny offering to babysit and some early online holiday shopping, you were able to make it work.
The evening was perfect— a romantic candlelit dinner, carriage ride around Central Park, and a visit to the Rockefeller Christmas tree, but your husband had one more trick up his sleeve. With a blindfold covering your eyes, you shuffled along step by step as Rafael guided you towards your surprise. “Are we there yet?” You asked for the umpteenth time.
“Almost. I swear, cariño. You’re as bad as the kids,” he replied, opening a door and leading you inside. You had a hunch where you were when the smell of ice hit your nostrils. “Ok, stop,” he commanded and took off your blindfold. “Surprise!”
Once your eyes adjusted to the bright light light, you realized that Rafael had taken you to the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers. The rink was completely empty. A bucket with champagne and two glasses rested on the top of the barrier along with yours and Rafael’s skates.
“We have the whole rink to ourselves!?” You looked over at Rafael, completely amazed. “How did you pull this off?”
“I was able to pull a few strings.” He winked and poured each of you a flute of champagne, handing you one. “Happy Anniversary, mi amor.”
“Happy Anniversary,” you replied and clinked your glass with his before chugging your drink. You giggled, feeling the champagne bubbles slide down your throat. “Ok, let’s skate!”
*****
Your hair whipped around as you glided around the rink. Every time your blade hit the ice was like music to your ears. You twirled around in a camel spin, spying Rafael out of the corner of your eye clutching the barrier with both hands.
Coming to a halt, you skated over to him. “Everything ok?”
“Oh yeah. Just holding up the wall.” He let go of the barrier for a second and nearly lost his balance, gripping the wall once more. “Why don’t you go on without me. I’ll catch up.”
“Come with me,” you gently said and took hold of his hands, leading him away from the barrier to the middle of the rink. Pretty soon he began to get more confident and was able to skate alongside you.
“Remember when I first taught you how to ice skate?” You asked.
“How could I forget. It was our first date,” Rafael replied, remembering how nervous he was about looking like a fool in front of you. Even now after your tutelage, he was still shaky on the ice. Just then he lost his footing, his legs and arms cartoonishly waving around. He reached out and grabbed your coat to try and steady himself causing you both to fall in a tangled heap. Rafael groaned, having hit the ice hard. “I fell for you back then and after all these years, I’m still falling for you.”
You giggled and rolled off Rafael, laying next to him on the ice. “I think we both fell for each other,” you softly said and kissed the tip of his nose. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” He cupped your face and kissed you with such intensity, it stole your breath away. “I’d marry you all over again, mi amor.”
“So would I,” you murmured against his lips.
Rafael pulled away and glanced around the rink. “Uhhh, so how do we get back up?”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALENTINEEEEE
how about birthday cake, gift, and surprise! for your choice? :3c
@kylars-princess WEEEE THANK YOUUUU I'll answer for euphemia since ff12 is on the mind 💜💙 adding in all the immediate f/os, including familial
BIRTHDAY CAKE: what's your favourite cake flavor? does your f/o get you that kind of cake or do they surprise you?
EFFIE GETS THE FRUITS AND FLORALS CAKE BEAM!!!! god forbid we know what spices and herbs exist in ivalice (maybe somewhere in the other ivalice games there lies an answer) but for now I'm gonna say that they like vanilla based cake with a small layer of berries in the middle, but they may also like a lavender or rose cake :>
upon second thought, there's a very small chance that effie would like tiramisu, but I think I'll go with my gut on the first option
either way, drace goes out of her way to drop hints about her sibling's birthday to vayne and he knows that effie has never liked large celebrations, so he has a very small, personal-sized cake baked by the imperial kitchen, but effie wakes up in a terrible mood and can't bring themself to eat any of it, and when they have lessons with larsa later they offer to split it with him
no cake sharing with gabranth, i think he would have one taste of the cake and go PBBTH from the shock of flowers in his fuckin mouth (if it were tiramisu he might partake in it)
GIFT: what does your f/o get for you? what do you get for your f/o on their birthday?
drace wouldn't be able to get them a gift beforehand, but they do ask to go to the shops with effie and buy them whatever they want, it's a little shopping spree for the siblings :D it's the same for drace's birthday
vayne buys effie a gift every year for their birthday and it is ALMOST ALWAYS supplies (notebooks, pens, bags, etc) because he doesn't actually know what they like anymore. drace has told him to try flowers and he vehemently denies it because he still thinks his feelings are a secret. effie draws things for most people's birthdays, and vayne has a drawer full of all of the drawings they've done for him but he would deny it
larsa gives them flowers from the garden every birthday!! it has become a small tradition the past few years where he'll choose specific flowers for their meanings and surprise them with them. they gift larsa books for his birthday because he loves reading!!
gabranth is....well....he's kind of on the same level as vayne, where he doesn't know what effie would want, but he has been anonymously leaving them flowers for the past few years after noticing it's what larsa does. unknown to effie, they do the same, following flower meanings as well. when they eventually become closer, gabranth signs notes with his flowers and the bouquets get larger each time he drops them off
SURPRISE!: does your f/o throw a surprise party for you?:
ABSOLUTELY NOT. vayne tried once and effie wound up having a panic attack for the rest of the night. no surprise parties for the anxious tutor.

I absolutely don't mean this as a JR bash because despite the fact that he'll never be my fave showrunner, I don't want to engage in the kevel of negativity often associated with him and I know you don't either. What I came here to say is if B/C doesn't have its moment in whatever form... He sure did spend a lot of $ on people to fool us all. Writers were paid to write it. Cast were paid to say those 1mil B/C callouts. Framing. Lighting. Editing. Music. Bellarke is baked in even w/o Beliza.
I don’t think he was spending money to fool us all. Or even to push Bellarke.
He’s telling a story. Clarke and her relationship with Bellamy are the backbone of the story, and he told us this.
I think his understanding of story is different from fandom’s understanding of story. Fandom wants the central relationship to be romantic and to kiss/confess/screw. It’s what fandom wants. Fandom, in general doesn’t value a slow building love story, because it doesn’t fit with the fandom culture of fanwars. You can’t WIN fandom if your OTP doesn’t get the ball past the goal line. The goal line is kiss/confess/sex.
B/C has had “its moment.” Many of them. In a constant progression through 7 years. Bellarke IS a love story. It cannot satisfy everyone because everyone does not have the same desires or needs for their stories.
I’d actually argue that your argument isn’t about JR fooling us. But about us fooling ourselves. Screw that not me. I’m following the story and I’m not fooled.
But the people who say that JR is fooling us, they’re wrong. JR is TELLING A STORY. All those things you say he’s done weren’t done to “fool us.” But to tell a story. Those aren’t bait. Those are breadcrumbs, leading you step by step down the path towards endgame bellarke. Taking canon narrative and pretending it didn’t happen is how fandom fools itself. Making JR’s story all about some fantasy of how fandom, personally, is being targeted to, specifically hurt them just because they ship bellarke, and JR hates them is some crazy wackadoodle narcissistic foolishness. The story is not about you, folks. JR doesn’t even KNOW you. The story is more about JR than you. It’s more about HIS relationship with his wife than it is about the bellarke shippers. He has literally said that Clarke and Bellamy were based upon himself and his wife.
JR has been focused on the Bellarke relationship since Clarke stopped Bellamy from opening the dropship doors.
It’s all about perspective. If you look at Bellarke as the central relationship, you can watch as it grows into a romantic connection. I can’t even say watch as it grows into a love story, because a love story REQUIRES there to be a time when it ISN’T romantic, so that it can develop in the story. So season 1 when they were platonic and only had the first glimmers of attraction? That’s part of the love story. A love story is HOW you get there, not just the kiss/confess/sex.
How people who love Bellarke can watch the scene where Bellamy begs Clarke to wake up because he can’t lose her, and then gives her mouth to mouth and orders her to get up and fight and then they fall into each other’s arms and from then on they are so soft and gentle and emotional and NOT think that Bellarke is canon romantic???? I just literally don’t understand them. How do you ship Bellarke and then deny that the onscreen romantic story is there. When it’s OBVIOUS. And canon.
Whether or not they end up happy ever after together, that’s canon. You can’t erase it.
I don’t understand why they only accept certain moments as canon, when those moments aren’t ACTUALLY proof that anyone loves anyone. It’s weird. You don’t need to love someone you kiss. You don’t need to love someone to say you love them, and you don’t need to love someone to have sex with them. And we’ve had examples of all of those to one degree or another.
Meh. This is the part fandom doesn’t like to hear. JR is doing fine for the story and for Bellarke. It’s the fandom who is making fools of themselves and putting ego first and being cruel to people (yes JR is an actual person folks hate to break it to you.)

OTP Playlist: Sadie/Arthur (Sadithur)
I was tagged by @galadrieljones for this one. I do have a pretty extensive Sunrise playlist, so yeah, I definitely have some Sadithur-specific songs there. And looks like this meme is 5 songs for an OTP, plus a little meta. The thing is with these two that they just fit each other so naturally, because they’re so similar. We see it in game--their fierce trust of each other above all others (”I would ride with you again if you would ride with me”/”You’re the only one of these fools I trust”/”You and me is all we need”) and their understanding and gentleness of each other’s pain, grief, guilt, and darkness (The damn near iconic ”We’re more ghosts than people”, for instance) while still supporting each other so beautifully. They’re hard-headed, hot-tempered, and yet tender-hearted still, both lost and broken with love gone and dreams taken. They’re fighters and lovers both, fiercely loyal, fighting to protect those they care about, and to do some good in the world besides by the end. Neither of them is remotely able to have a romance in-game given all the mental and emotional burdens they’re carrying, but the supportive and earnest and honest friendship they have is a truly beautiful thing. (I like to say they’re pretty much platonic married there by the end.) Then all it takes is changing one tiny thing: at the end of Chapter 6, Sadie comes back to bury Arthur, finds he’s not quite dead yet, and everything just unfolds so easily from there. They get the chance for them to both seek the healing and redemption they need so badly, with a close friend to share the journey. That friendship grows steadily deeper, and eventually, the deep love already there easily develops romantic and sexual facets to it also. They both discover that perhaps they’re not too broken or awful to dream and love again, and it’s such a long road and a hard fight that it’s all the more meaningful to get to write the story of them facing their pain and choosing to stand together to do it, and slowly finding their way towards the future they want and the people they want to be. Songs: 1.) “King and Lionheart”, Of Monsters And Men (A song for supportive BFFs to lovers who are also one hell of a fierce Battle Couple) And in the sea that's painted black/Creatures lurk below the deck/But you're a king and I'm a lionheart/And as the world comes to an end/I'll be here to hold your hand/'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart. 2.) “Gun In My Hand”, Dorothy (The dark side of love, and facing having done truly terrible things in its name, Sadie for Jake and Arthur for Dutch) Oh, was it for redemption?/Was it for revenge?/Was it for the bottle?/Was it for the ledge? (Who-oa)/Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge?/Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? 3.) “Fire Underwater”, Girl Blue (A slow rekindling for two people who utterly gave up themselves up as damaged and horrible lost causes) Every ship that I had captained/Had been lost to stormy weather/Until you came along and/I thought we just might get home together/I thought we might get home together/But now I'm swimming in nothing/Only blues are on my side/I got nothing to hope for, honey/I got nothing to hide/Now I'm swimming in nothing/Only blues are on my mind/And that ocean's endless deep/And that ocean's endless wide, but/Every time you look in my eyes/It's like fire under water, fire under water 4.) “Ghosts That We Knew”, Mumford and Sons (Another one for finding hope and joy after so much pain, by facing it--becoming more people than ghosts.) You saw my pain, washed out in the rain/Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins/But you saw no fault no cracks in my heart/And you knelt beside my hope torn apart/But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you/And we'll live a long life/So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light/'Cause oh that gave me such a fright/But I will hold as long as you like/Just promise me we'll be alright 5.) “Two Of Us On The Run”, Lucius (”You and me is all we need”, two ex-outlaws technically dodging their past, but doing it by choosing to acknowledge it and keep becoming better versions of themselves) And we'll one day/Tell our story/Of how we made/Something of ourselves now/Our favorite parts are what we'll keep/Ornamental parts of love and parts of memories so/Everything else has room to grow/'Cause in better light/Everything changes/So we can one day/Tell our story/Of how we made/Something of ourselves now Tagging @arthurmorgansgf @my-funky-little-cowboy @mearcatsreturns @somekindofflowergirl @prairiemule and anyone else interested!

me, going in to the “an arrow’s flight” tags for good pyrrhus content and finding next to nothing: :/ me, going into the general pyrrhus tag for any pyrrhus content and finding it flooded with hate from song of achilles fans: >:/
listen y’all i’m a tSoA stan too but we CANNOT possibly pretend to convince ourselves that madeline miller didn’t do other characters dirty to advance/give sympathy to her OTP. in some cases common iliad interpretation is subverted which is cool but other times facts are straight up IGNORED. it even happens with the main character like !!! patroclus’s funeral is before priam comes to beg for hector’s body back, but miller needed another reason for achilles to gently angst and correct a Straight Fool saying “sorry for the loss of your friend” so fuck the iliad’s timeline! it also probably wouldn’t do to have achilles squash reader sympathy by dragging hector’s corpse all around patroclus’s tomb but anyway.....
shit man before i even talk about pyrrhus i GOTTA say that she made some Real Questionable choices about patroclus’s representation too. i love that boy, i really do, and i think if miller’s characterization existed without precedent it would be totally fine but the undeniable uwu-ification of Soft Boi Sweet Baby patroclus is !! fucking rude and also pretty lame in imagination as it seems to say that one of our gays has to “really behave like the girl” and that’s !! wack !! yeah patroclus isn’t the legendary warrior achilles is.. but that DOESN’T MEAN you make him constitutionally unable to fight and relegate him to the office of femininity in order to code him gay!! it’s demeaning !! YES he can be good at medicine and YES he can think the war is terrible given his specific circumstances of “destined to lose my love in the war” and he can be sympathetic as a conduit character but it’s pretty fucking broke that miller clearly thought that it was necessary to make his character feminine in order to overtly show the gay relationship. it reeks of the “okay but which of you gays is really the man and which is really the woman” rhetoric
so KNOWING DEAD ASS that miller fudges characters to get the means for her love story, you gotta admit her treatment of pyrrhus is really fucking wack. yeah accounts of him generally seem to concur that he was Harsh and Rigid and Made Questionable Human Sacrifices but the specific way miller chooses to portray him is... hhhhh. okay so she wraps it in this guise of “he’s had all the humanity bred out of him by thetis and therefore He’s Evil And We Hate Him, right?” but we’ve spent this WHOLE ASS BOOK talking about how war and society at large make monsters of us and that even a pacifist like patroclus becomes consumed by the glory of battle in the heat of it, so making your Unredeemable Asshole someone who’s human sense to hate violence is worn down by gods sort of mixes our symbolism up. is it man that corrupts himself? the gods? society? miller’s fucking up the clarity of that message with thetis creating this pyrrhus. it’s ALSO fucked because we spent the whole book building sympathy for achilles by patroclus saying “wow if achilles were raised by his mother he would have been cold and heartless and that makes me feel for the softness that could be lost in his demigod body” but pyrrhus LITERALLY UNDERWENT that tragic dehumanizing and suddenly we’re supposed to hate that instead of empathize with it!
and of COURSE we had to put the last nail in the coffin of empathy for pyrrhus by having him try to r*ape briseis because miller has been using r*pe as a shorthand for evil this whole time and that sure doesn’t feel tacked on or oversimplified at all! and we have Woke Boy Patroclus whose opinions about women’s rights are SO anachronistic that everyone else looks like a monster (to be fair, it IS monstrous, but i can see the pandering in patroclus being our Feminist Good Guy from a mile away).
and making pyrrhus your plot contrivance not to bury achilles and patroclus together right away?? idk abt that one buddy! feels like u needed just 1 more homophobic hurdle to overcome and u dropped that burden on pyrrhus! because pyrrhus being the hetero asshole ? y’all EVER read up on pyrrhus pre-troy? the whole ass episode with philoctetes? ENORMOUSLY GAY (even when i don’t mention how some modern retellings make it explicitly gay). the ONLY way i buy pyrrhus trying to stop achilles’ associated memory with patroclus is as desperation for honor and HMMMM WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! that’s the theme we always return to as achilles’ tragic flaw and that is made SYMPATHETIC AS HELL in achilles because when prophesies control your life and you can’t choose happiness, memory and honor are all you have, but when PYRRHUS makes bad choices to maintain honor and memory then suddenly it’s entirely unsympathetic and evil of him!
i’ll say it again i fucking love the song of achilles but i can do that while also acknowledging that it told a specifically manipulated and narrow narrative that left lots of character complexity on the cutting room floor
and if i have to live my damn life going through the pyrrhus tags just to see blind, belligerent “fuck you pyrrhus! patrochilles 4 LYFE” sentiment, i’m going to lose my fucking mind!
#i'm Not Fucking Around this morning#in this house we acknowledge that all greek heroes were flawed jerks but that they are also COMPLEX jerks !!#and we read our favorite media critically because even books we like can get some things wrong !! @ tSoA FANS: LEARN IT#;; ARISTOS ACHAION [ achilles ]#(i guess?? this is meta??? for achilles)#||x SHEER CALCULATED SILLINESS [ ooc ]#||x YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW CRUCIAL THE TIMING AND LOCATION ARE [ queue ]

"and cami said she didn’t think veronica could ever be interest in jughead " Well, lets not fool ourselves, what the actors say doesnt matter because they don't write the show
no, but it means she hasn’t been given any indication that there might be something between them in the future. the writers could of course change their minds, but since it’s obviously not happening any time soon (if ever), it’s as pointless to worry about it as it is to worry they’re going to kill off the core four in a bus crash in the next episode. if you, or anybody else, want to fret about things with no evidence, then by all means, but you’re just torturing yourselves. i’d rather try to enjoy that my otp is happy and together

Heheheh...Monoma for the ask!
THE BASTARD SON
favorite thing about them
he’s so goddamn funny
least favorite thing about them
i wish we still got to see some of that cool and cunning personality we saw before exposure to bakugo broke his brain. i have hopes for this current manga arc though?
favorite line
monoma: did you know half the people who take the provisional license exam fail?! so why don’t you go ahead and fail for us, class A?!
vlad: actually we have the two classes signed up at different locations specifically so that you won’t have to compete for passes
monoma: (…phew)
monoma: WHAT A SHAME I WON’T GET TO BEAT YOU ALL WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS
brOTP
monoma and kendo are pretty funny friends
OTP
i really hate that you’re making me say in front of everybody that i legitimately ship monoma/pony, or monopony (pronounced like monopoly). and it’s all your fault!! ok, half your fault half my fault bc i totally ran with it too but you’re the one who suggested it in the first place. why did we do this to ourselves.
with the latest chapters monoma/shinso is very acceptable too.
nOTP
i don’t like him and kendo romantically
random headcanon
he’s actually a nice enough if kinda smug dude until a mention of 1-A flicks the petty bitch switch in his brain
unpopular opinion
geeze uh idk. apparently while the sports festival arc was being written a bunch of people reacted very negatively to him making something of a fool of bakugo but personally i think that was just swell of him.
song i associate with them
chump by green day
youtube
favorite picture of them
listen
