#otp: heterosexual life partners

[gabs-magical-abs]

I don't think I will ever be over The Quest. Halfway through Season 2 and Gabrielle's all like "I wish I had told Xena that I love her when she was alive." AND THEN XENA POSSESSES A DUDE SO THAT THEY CAN KISS (and get past the censors)

Like this was 1996. Incredible. 10/10 no notes best show ever

[blurglesmurfklaine]

4, 7, 9, 12 for the ask game <3 (all glee if possible)

Yay, thanks for these Crys! 7 was previously answered so I went ahead and skipped it :)

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

I don’t ship St. Berry, but I am of the opinion that if it couldn’t be Finn, I’m glad it was Jesse. He and Rachel really are two sides of the same coin and they seem to love each other very deeply and I hope they’re happy together!

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

Samcedes 😭 they are my emotional support heterosexuals your honor. But also, they are two genuinely good people who care deeply about one another samcedes you will always be endgame to me

12. compliment someone else in your fandom

Okay this is gonna be a lot because I AM going to do all the active fandoms I’m in! So under the read more!

Glee:

First of all you, Crys! And @backslashdelta You are both so talented with your gif making that it kind of drives me insane.

@kurtsascot is probably one of the most talented writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I feel so lucky that we’ve gotten her so late in the game! I feel similarly about @rockitmans and @thelegendofjenna

@esilher @twinkkurt and @justgleekout make the most BEAUTIFUL fanart I’ve ever seen, and I also wanna thank @carsonphillips for klainegifs and keeping the fandom interesting with their events!

@somefeministtheatrepls is not only an amazing friend but the most thoughtful beta reader and honestly partner in my writing?? Writing is much less stressful because I don’t even worry about things being clunky or weird because I know her ass will help that chapter SHINE

@nancysgillians @kurthummeldeservesbetter also get shoutouts because they are wonderful people to have in your life

Newsies:

I could fill novels with how much I love and appreciate @somanywords! Their amazing storytelling and also volunteering to make art for the MiniBang I hosted earlier this year??? On top of listening to my insane ramblings?? They don’t make em like this anymore folks

@one-paper-bag is also SOOOOOO incredibly talented with their art, and their lovely comments on my Spider-Man AU keep me going (on GOD we are gonna get you another chapter ON GOD!!!!)

@livesincerely and @agentsnickers are some of the most prolific and INSANELY TALENTED writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, and also genuinely lovely people! You know when you see someone on your dash and ur just like “wow. I hope they are having a FANTASTIC day and life. They deserve one.”

@piedoesnotequalpi and @regina-cordium are also so incredibly FUNNY and have the most correct takes on every single newsie and that’s on that ❤️

911:

I’m relatively new to this fandom, so I don’t know a ton of people yet, but there are def people I see on my dash that I have noticed!

@cranberrymoons @lesbianrobin @insertlovelyperson have written some of my absolute FAAAAAAVE fics! I feel like they really have a handle on who the characters are in a way that’s true to the show and kind of difficult to pull off!

@texasbama makes amazing gifs and honestly anytime I see her on my dash I laugh bc genuinely she’s so funny. Also on the list of hilarious contributors is @buckgettingstruck

And a couple of people who I think have genuinely great vibes are @buckera @leathercouchcushion and @yaz-the-spaz

And of course I can’t talk about 911 without a second mention to @regina-cordium who puts up with all my Texas!Buddie nonsense andbansndbsk

What are their thoughts on having children?

Tim gets along great with kids because he's halfway still a kid himself, but he has zero interest in having children of his own. as a gay man he honestly just never worried about it. learning about pregnancy in sex ed scarred him for life and made sure he kept his gold star, he never even experimented in high school.

Tim is well aware he can barely take care of himself. he's not going to care for a whole tiny person. not to mention the legal nightmare that is two men trying to adopt children. he doesn't want anything to do with having a family. he just wants a partner.

Raylan doesn't truly want kids. he knows his temper and remembers growing up in Arlo's house and never wants to subject a child to the Givens family inheritance. but he feels the pressure to want to want them. he's a deeply repressed and closeted gay man trying to uphold the heterosexual ideal. so when he married Winona he professed to wanting to try for children, but he kept putting it off and Winona never felt any baby fever so it didn't happen for them.

shacking up with another man means Raylan doesn't have to contend with that expectation. he can let all that go and doesn't have to worry about it at all.

tbh i don't like kidfic lol. i think the babies after ever trope is horrifying enough in straight romance and personally i find it doubly horrifying in gay romance. so i usually leave out Willa when i write fics and write in a canon divergence setting where Winona never got pregnant.

i don't think the topic of children would even come up in a conversation between them. Tim might broach the subject after they're retired and ask if Raylan regrets not having kids and Raylan would assure Tim it never crossed his mind.

Tim is the only boy Raylan's ever wanted.

if i let my mind wander in a more canon-compliant direction ... Tim and Raylan just deal with Raylan fathering Willa the best they can though it is a sore spot in their relationship. Tim never becomes a step-dad to Willa because i honestly don't think Raylan could handle that. he'd already struggle with living up to fatherhood and juggling his home life with Tim along with his relationship to Willa and having to deal with Winona constantly. it'd be kinda a mess!!

yeah i'm just not a fan of tropey use of kids in fic or traditional domesticity, it's not my jam so i like to have Tim and Raylan be childfree. that's what i want for them. lbr Raylan should just be Tim's daddy dfkdlklfkls SORRY BUT IT'S TRUE.

(obligatory OTP asks meme)

OTP Meme: Barbie and Ken

Note: This is for the general concept of Barbie and Ken in pop culture, not for any specific incarnation of them, especially not for their 2023 movie incarnations who don't end up together.

When did I ship them: As soon as I was old enough to realize they were supposed to be a couple.

Ship dynamic: Two fun-loving, stylish beauties who have shared similar interests, supported each other, and enjoyed life side-by-side for decades. A lighthearted yet solid and steady love that's just as much a friendship as a romance, which is why they stayed good friends even during their breakup in the early 2000s. Though no one was surprised when they eventually got back together.

Theme song: Even though this song is a parody of them that doesn't reflect their real relationship, it's hard not to think of "Barbie Girl."

Type of date: Beach picnics, swimming, parties, dances, movies.

Married or dating: Dating.

Sexuality: Heterosexual (on Barbie's side at least – Ken might be bi).

Genders: Male and female.

Romantic quotes: From their Toy Story 3 incarnations:

"But when I look at you, I feel like we were made for each other."

And when Lotso tells Ken that there are millions of other Barbies in the world:

Not to me, there's not!

Any headcanon powers: Their ability to be anything a child can imagine.

Healthy or unhealthy relationship: Healthy.

Who is the flirty partner: Barbie.

Who is the silly one: Ken.

[negative-speedforce]

Bucky Barnes and Barry Allen for the character thing

1: sexuality headcanon

Bucky is a deeply closeted gay man. He flirts with girls and is seen as a womanizer because he doesn't want people to know he's attracted to men.

Barry is bi, with a preference for women. There's just no way he's not, with the chemistry he has towards every single man ever.

2: otp

Steve/Bucky is one of my OTPs of all time and I will not be changing my mind about that, they are in love your honor. Endgame? What Endgame?

Westhallen my beloved. I don't know what you're talking about, Eddie didn't die, him, Barry, and Iris are all living together as happy partners and raising their kids together.

3: brotp

Sam and Bucky are The Best. They always bring the drama, they argue like an old married couple, and they both absolutely loathe each other. They're besties.

Barry and Cisco are one of the friendships of all time. I love them so much when they nerd out together and fight crime and- man I miss Cisco.

4: notp

Well I hear they might be shipping Bucky and Yelena in the new Thunderbolts movie and that just gives me the ick on so many levels. First, Yelena is aroace, second, they've both been under mind control for most of their lives, let them find themselves before they find a partner, and finally, it just seems so "You're a good guy now! Here's your assigned heterosexual relationship!".

Snowbarry, I'm sorry. I just don't get it. They're nice as friends, but I just don't see them getting into a relationship.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Bucky gets chronic migraines from having his brains zapped constantly.

Barry has ADHD and becoming a speedster just made it worse.

6: favorite line from this character

"How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you."

"Rule number one of having a secret identity is to not take pictures of yourself"

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Identity issues, 100%. Bucky's got 'em, I've got 'em, anyone who grew up queer in a conservative religious environment probably has 'em.

The feeling that you can't slow down because your life is moving so fast- except for Barry, it's literal.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Bucky getting sidelined for Peggy AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN.

Barry letting Thawne get away again and again and again. It's absolutely bonkers.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Both, but leaning towards cinnamon roll.

Absolutely a cinnamon roll.

[rescue-ram]

I’m giving you Trapper John for the character ask.

Alas I already did The Son and Boy, but in my deranged mind there's a Venn diagram for this character and "Trapper" refers to the show version and "Trapper John" refers to the book/movie version, so just for funsies...

How I feel about this character

Okay so Show!Trapper is my fave show character, but Book/Movie!Trapper is HIGH-KEY my fave book/movie character. He is the funniest and most fleshed out (relatively speaking) character in the book, and Elliot Gould plays him with a certain nuance (especially in his first and last scenes) that I find really compelling

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Still just Hawkeye 😅 Though his freak-for-freak girlfriend Lucinda in MASH Goes to Maine is underrated mfmfkkv

My non-romantic OTP for this character

The other Swampmen 👍 Though I think canonically he and Hawkeye are heterosexual life partners by the end of the book kdkcjc

My unpopular opinion about this character

I think just liking this version of the character counts kfkfjfjdj But also, whenever I write about Trapper being autistic, I am thinking about the book version of the character who is so so so neurodivergent

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Honestly nothing. I think both the movie and the book are flawed, but I also think trying too hard to fix them would ruin what's there or so fundamentally change them they're no longer the works they once were. They stand self contained in my mind. There's probably a universe out there where Show!Trapper is a little closer to his book/movie counter parts and maybe I would've liked that, but I think it could easily be to the detriment of Hawkeye. I think Genie once said to me Hooker had three characters who were all half baked so the show got rid of one, gave Hawkeye a full set of character traits, and Trapper got whatever was left kfkckck.

[roxannepolice]

hi! missy for the character asks? :)

Of course, but after putting threegado together it's only fair to also combine twissy for @lukifisk 😀

1: sexuality headcanon - after answering this question a couple of times, I think it is safe to say TL are what humans would call pansexual in the sense that their preferences aren't very directional (let's face it this is the most evolutionarily rational direction to take in a reproductive organs shifting species (the Master is generally Doctorsexual tho)) - what does differ across regenerations is libido level, as in how likely they are to get horny (and in the Doctor's case that usually increases when the Master's around); so in this context we have a fascinating set where Twelve is pretty much an ace while Missy is permanently horny - luckily, Twelve is not a sex averse asexual, and willing to perform for a romantic partner, so we probably have something of a pythonic scene of Missy (and let's be fair, Clara and River too) passionately riding and confessing most ardent affection for that old man while he tries to follow Neptunian equivalent of Kama Sutra (getting himself acquaintanced with it in the process)

2: otp - each other, of course; just let them have their much postponed French riviera honeymoon BBC

3: brotp - I mean. apart from the Doctor Missy interacted with an afterlife Zuckerberg, Clara, Nardole, passingly with some UNIT members and Bill, and her own past. that's not much to choose from. so I'll go with Clara, just because this is also what I go with for Twelve (also consider two characters who know the most about the Doctor; Rose and Sarah Jane having a giggle would be nothing condiered to what these two'd get up to): romantic elements I fully acknowledge aside, I think it must have been really refreshing for the Doctor to have a companion that was so much like them; and weird assumptions about straight corellation between age and skin collagen levels aside, his truthfulness with her was very powerful

4: notp - I don't really have one for Twelve, just because his asexuality is so obvious that I'd assume if he's shipped with someone there's a good reason for it? for Missy, the male presenting Masters all being horny for her specifically, yeah selfcest is a good metaphor for narcissism inherent in this character which is what I keep repeating to myself about season 10 finale, but when Masterful (which I LOVE srsly the Doctor could only dream of having such a good 50th birthday celebration) doubled down on it I just thought honey your attempts at heterosexuality are about as convincing as those sybil breasts slapped by Michelangelo on what's clearly boy models

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - I remember it well from Gigi is their song and Bill plays it on her smartphone each time they interact, BBC just muted it for copyright reasons

6: favorite line from this character - for Twelve, Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege. The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value. That's what defines an age. That's what defines a species. - wow. just wow. this is such growth from the Time Lord Victorious who'd evaluate individual life from it's Historic importance and the face that almost annihilated a civilization (for the second time!) for one person, also extratextually excellent way to measure the level of civilizational progress; for Missy Your version of good is not absolute. It's vain, arrogant and sentimental. If you're waiting for me to become all that, I'm going to be here for a long time yet. somewhat contradictory to the sentiment of the Twelve quote? yeah maybe but this marks the last time as of season 13 the Master represented a philosophy contradictory to the Doctor's (or, for that matter, anything more than a snivelling canine of a chorus to how awesome the Doctor is) that, despite the text denying it much right, has a respectable place in human ethics: deontology versus pragmatism, yes gimme the Doctor Master dialectic heading for recognition that nothing is simple anytime

7: one way in which I relate to this character - Twelve is... pretty much the Doctor I identify with the most? yeah man be this intellect before emotion bitch that shows how those two are nowhere near contradictory (trying to derive ethics from thinking and keeping contradictory or inconclusive evidence to yourself for the same reasons you don't tell people there's going to be a financial crisis: they will storm the banks and a crisis will in fact occur; they pound that into your brain in every Polish sociology class) and will raise hell if you cannot move heaven for the people you care for (just don't cut out people you haven't yet formed to your liking from the caring part); for Missy, I too aspire to express all my moods through piano and would have Peter Capaldi grab my boob within 2 minutes from meeting him not even for sex reasons just to see him flustered 🙃

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - for Twelve, informing newly met people Clark Kent is Superman: I get that it makes sense for plot development reasons, but man you don't just say these things! also consistently insulting John Simm's pretty squishy round catface while he's getting an obvious libido rise from the other's proximity; for Missy, not caring for her hairstyle while in prison, wtf gurl, demand an avocado and banana based hair mask in addition to the LHC and pony!!

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - look there's a lot I like about Moffat's writing, just as there's a lot I dislike about it, but putting the Doctor slightly further down the problematic fave side than the Master (while keeping them mostly in character) deserves proper appreciation; they're both on the problematic fave side of the spectrum though

♡ & ⚔

@eiiskonigin

✂ - Do you hate people easily?

No, and that hasn't always been great for my mental health, giving people space in my life who've proven to me that they disregard my well being in favour of their wants. But I'm getting better at it.

♡ - OTP for your muse?

I'm multishipping trash, so normally I don't even have an OTP for my muses, Mercury is the except. Still Multishipping trash and love so many ships, but I'm feral for EmeraldxMercury. And it's not a heterosexual couple either, this is two bi/pan people in love and are best friends and partners in everything.

[boneshifter]

so I was googling the reading order for rote and

[gabs-magical-abs]

Imagine there were two people who referred to each other as their soulmate, kissed multiple times, confessed their love for each other, raised a baby together and spent most of their time with each other.

Now imagine their reincarnations made out two seconds after finding each other and then LITERALLY got married.

There's no way you'd say they were "just friends".

And yet, people out here still trying to say that Xena and Gabrielle weren't canonically together. I don't know what reality they're living in, but it's definitely not this one.

[lol-jackles]

(delusional Wincester here) Is it at all possible that the ambiguous love confession from Cas is some sort of device to prepare the audience for Sam and Dean to turn out to be a bit closer than normal brothers? Is there precedent for hinting at an unlikely fan pairing to make a different pairing more palatable later?

Is there a precedent?  Yes, plenty, though it’s hard to tell the difference between The Plan and making-up-shit-as-you-go.  These “unlikely” pairing are either placeholders (The Walking Dead Carol & Ezekiel) or to show the audience why the one true pairing (Carrie & Mr. Big) has to happen when compared to the previous pairing (Carrie &  Russian Guy) even though the one true pairing couple have no redeeming qualities.  The Walking Dead will have a spinoff featuring one true paring Carol and Daryl, except 11 seasons will have passed and the general audience are over the idea of Carol and Daryl.  Similar with How I Met Your Mother fans were no longer invested in the Ted and Robin pairing after 9 seasons and were mad when they turned out to be OTPs.  Similar reasons why the SPN fandom largely rejected the interpretation of that scene as canon Destiel because 11 seasons have passed without any textual romance between Dean and Cas.

Going back to the intent of your question, the audience already knows Sam and Dean have a closer than normal brother relationship, it’s a notch above the platonic heterosexual life partner trope that is the mainstay of many, many shows. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the finale they take it up another (platonic) notch.

Thank you for the ask @elvhenyoung ! (Darth Bagel is, as always, very welcome too hehe 💖) I also went Subterfugeverse only here for D’leah, so didn’t include any of the kids like Maite etc. who only appear in the Zephyrverse RP AU :’) But anyways, here you go! The two mean ladies, just for you :3

sins - lust/greed/gluttony/sloth/pride/envy/wrath

virtues - chastity/charity/diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice

T H I S - O R - T H A T

introvert/extrovert: Leans slightly more towards introvert, but can be either/or depending on who she’s with.

organized/disorganized: Aria is best described as “organised chaos”.

close minded/open-minded: Mostly open-minded, but Aria can have her moments where she’s harder to shift than a bantha with a sore head.

calm/anxious: She has a set few situations which will make her feel quite anxious, but overall Aria is pretty “calm”, though I wouldn’t use the word specifically for her, and a more accurate description would be “she just doesn’t give a shit”. XD

disagreeable/agreeable: Unless your name is Vano or Saarai, good luck getting her to see things your way :’)

cautious/reckless: Can be either, but leans slightly more towards cautious, particularly in fights

patient/impatient: She hasn’t got a lot of patience, unless you’re paying her to wait (with a lot of zeroes on the end too!), she’s not going to. Simple as that.

outspoken/reserved: That running mouth of hers has gotten Aria both into and out of trouble more times than she can count.

leader/follower: Aria is a natural-born leader and doesn’t take very well to anyone telling her what to do. To this date the only people who’s orders she does/has followed are: Roan, Vano and Saarai.

empathetic/unemphatic: Okay so this one might be surprising, but Aria is actually pretty empathetic, she’s just really fucking awful at being sympathetic! She picks up on other’s emotional states pretty well and is very good at reading people, she’s just...not good at not hurting their feelings lol

optimistic/pessimistic: A weird mix of both, to the tune of “well, this can’t possibly get any worse now, at least, right?”

traditional/modern: Mostly modern, with a dash of old Sith traditions taught to her by daddy dearest.

hard-working/lazy: Not much to say about this one, it’s pretty self-explanatory!

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

otp: Aria/Vano, obviously! :P

ot3: if Vano wasn’t so possessive/jealous, I think Vano/Aria/Saarai would have been a hilariously chaotic trio (poor Vano though, dear god XD)

brotp: Aria & Qyzen, Aria & Merak & Ziri

notp: Aria/Tharan Cedrax (dude she’s not into you take the hint), Aria/Felix Iresso (sweetie you’re too good for her I’m sorry ;-;)

(art is by @varjopihlaja :D)

B A S I C S

full name: D’leahane Ahaszaai, though went most often by D’leah to those closest to her

gender: Cis Female

sexuality: Heterosexual

pronouns: She/Her

O T H E R S

family: Are you ready for this? It was a big family before Valkorion killed ‘em XD all are deceased now except for Abaron, Vowrawn, Paa, Saarai & Ni’kasi and their respective children. Vastas and Saa’thri (father and mother respectively), Duuma (”older” twin brother), Vowrawn (younger brother), Abaron Ahaszaai (brother-in-law, Vowrawn’s husband), two unnamed sister-in-laws (Duuma’s wives), unnamed nieces and nephews (Duuma + wives’ children), Kissai Ahaszaai (Husband), Paalea Izreni (Sister-in-law, Kissai’s half-sister), Saarai & Ni’kasi Ahaszaai (Twin daughters), Ty, Nawâ (grandsons), Kadebre, Hyala (granddaughters)

birthplace: Medriaas (now Nathema)

job: Sith Lord, High Lady of House Ahaszaai, former Heiress to the Sith Throne

phobias: Failure, her biggest fear was failing to protect her daughters from Valkorion, all of them dying and what little remained of the “original” Sith Empire being lost forever with them.

guilty pleasures: romantic poetry (Kissai wasn’t particularly smart but he was a romantic at heart and he used to write her a lot of poetry, other than the twins, after he died it was the only part of “him” she had left ;-;)

M O R A L S

morality alignment?: Lawful Evil

sins - lust/greed/gluttony/sloth/pride/envy/wrath

virtues - chastity/charity/diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice

T H I S - O R - T H A T

introvert/extrovert: Very much an introvert, D’leah prefers to keep to herself so you better stay out of her personal space bubble.

organized/disorganized: Organized to the point of being eerily terrifying, to be honest. She’s got a plan, and a contingency plan, and you can bet everything is exactly where it should be when it should be there.

close minded/open-minded: Not very responsive to new ideas or ways of life, she clings to what she knows like her life depends on it.

calm/anxious: Generally speaking, quite calm. Although after Valkorion happened and her husband and most of her family were killed, she gradually became more anxious, eventually to the point of paranoia, only wanting to keep the girls safe.

disagreeable/agreeable: It’s her way or the highway, and you will not get her to concede otherwise for as long as either of you live. XD

cautious/reckless: D’leah never does anything without thinking it through first. If it’s too dangerous, she’s not doing it and there isn’t anything you can do or say to convince her. She’s nope’ing out of there faster than you can say “but”.

patient/impatient: Exceedingly so. D’leah has the patience of a saint, it doesn’t matter how long something takes. She can wait it out.

outspoken/reserved: D’leah is generally a silent observer, when she speaks it’s only after collecting every bit of information she possibly can to make the most concise point(s) possible.

leader/follower: She’s the boss. That’s it, no negotiations. She’s in charge, you do what she says or Force help you. XD

empathetic/unemphatic: Very unempathetic. She calls herself a “realist” but honestly she’s just kinda mean. Aww, you got shot? Stop crying about it and walk it off, you big baby!

optimistic/pessimistic: Again, she calls herself a “realist”, but always tends to assume (and plan for) the worst. It’s happened to her enough times now *gestures at hecked up face and dead family* XD)

traditional/modern: A staunch and stubborn traditionalist, you will pry these traditions from her cold, dead hands.

hard-working/lazy: She’s a lady, she’s not meant to do hard work, she has every capacity to order someone else to do it for her and she intends to do just that!

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

otp: D’leah/Kissai forever <3

ot3: Hahahaha no, no. She’s far too possessive to share :’)

brotp: D’leah & Paa, D’leah & Abaron

notp: D’leah/anyone else, tbh. It’s Kissai or nobody for her ;)

[princesssarisa]

OTP ask: Ariel & Eric (The Little Mermaid)

When did I ship them: From the first time I saw the complete movie at age 10.

Ship dynamic: Two free-spirited, fun-loving teenagers, with a shared zest for life that makes them fit perfectly together. Their instant starry-eyed attraction is the classic stuff of fairy tales, yet there's no question that their temperaments are just right for each other. He offers her the freedom she craves and the gentleness and respect she doesn't get from her strict father, while she brings new joy and adventure into his life. And both are courageous and willing to sacrifice everything or fight supernatural evil for each other.

Theme song: "Part of Your World" (Reprise)

Type of date: Carriage rides through the countryside; dancing in the town square; rowing on a blue lagoon at sunset.

Married or dating: Ultimately married.

Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Genders: Male and female.

Romantic quotes:

*"What would I give to live where you are What would I pay to stay here beside you What would I do to see you smiling at me

Where would we walk Where would we run If we could stay all day in the sun Just you and me And I could be Part of your world"

*"I lost her once. I'm not gonna lose her again!"

Any headcanon powers: After her father turns her human, unlike when Ursula did it, Ariel keeps her mermaid amphibiousness. She'll still be able to breathe underwater as well as on land.

Healthy or unhealthy relationship: Healthy. Yes, it moves with classic fairy tale speed, but it's healthy all the same.

Who is the flirty partner: Ariel, in her awkward and inexperienced yet adorable way.

Who is the silly one: Also Ariel – not intentionally, but from her sheer exuberance to explore the human world – though they can both be silly now and then.

Tara and Willow from BTVS -

Peeta and Katniss from the Hunger Games trilogy - 

To clarify - the book versions of these characters. Not that the movie version was terrible, it was just far less nuanced and I felt like it cut out a lot of the scenes where you really can tell that Katniss loves Peeta as much as he loves her. It is the choosing-peace-and-wildflowers-over-war of it all.

Idgie and Ruth from Fried Green Tomatoes (at the Whistlestop Cafe)

“I’m as settled as I ever hope to be” is hands down the best line a wlw has ever said to her partner. It is known. Sadly, because of censorship, the textual wlw relationship between Idgie and Ruth was removed from the movie, but the actresses did their absolite best (which was a heck of a lot) to include ever ounce of subtext that they could. I remember watching this as a young teen and going “I would love to have a friend like Ruth in my life” and then, when, again, I came out as a lesbian, I was all “yep, still want a friend like Ruth in my life, but now it is Overtly Gay”

Jester and Caleb from Critical Role’s M9 campaign

it’s the angst. and the past trauma. and the grumpy cat/happy dog dynamics. and the absolute acceptance of each other exactly as they are. and the hope. and the kindness. and just...... i know that they will never be cannon, but they are cannon in my heart.

Spike and Buffy from BTVS

Did you see how I spaced out two different ships from the same show? It is to make me appear more cultured, lol. But seriously, from the first time that I saw Spike on the screen, my brain went “please let them bang.” And then I saw them interact and the chemistry was So Strong, and my brain went “please let them bang.” I never thought that they’d genuinely make me cry, though. But they did. With the feelings. And the love. And the understanding exactly who and what each other are. I will ship them until I die, and then I will ship them from beyond the grave.

Honorable Mentions - 

Derek and Styles from Teen Wolf

Booth and Brennan from Bones

Johnny and Baby from Dirty Dancing

Anne and Diana from Anne of Green Gables

and that’s all folks! i hope you tag me in your post soon and spread this around! i think we all could use some time just talking about things that make us happy.

Laguz (Tellius?) AU

I’ve had this idea a while ago but only started doing stuff for it when I saw the Fantasy/Mystical prompt for BoKuroo Week 2020 on Twitter.

The original idea was just to make Kuroo a cat laguz and Bokuto an bird laguz. For those who are unfamiliar, laguz is the name of the animal shapeshifting race in Ike’s world (yes, that Ike, better known from Smash than his own actual games). Tellius is the name of the continent he’s from. So it started out with me just wanting to draw them as laguz, and then it somehow accidentally became a Tellius AU? Sorta? Idk, it’s still pretty half-baked.

So just some things to go with the shitty concept art:

Kuroo is a cat laguz (panther, specifically bc big black cat) and Bokuto is an owl laguz (obviously). Neither of those actually exist in the Tellius universe, but who actually cares. Certainly not the devs when they could just throw in wolf laguz in the sequel game, amirite haha

Since this ended up as more of a Tellius AU, I didn’t do anything creative with their clothing and they are based closely on those belonging the in-universe tribes.

It seems like generic male cat laguz all wear head band scarf turban things? So initially I was gonna give Kuroo one, but he didn’t look great in one. So I made him a high-ranking officer just so he could break the dress code (if there actually is one) and have him wear it as a scarf instead. The entire Nekoma team is his squadron, I guess.

Bokuto’s the leader of the owl tribe and I had originally given him more cleavage lmao, but then I thought about it again, and I just can’t imagine Bo having his tiddies out like Tibarn (although I’m sure we’d all like that 😂).

Naturally, Kuroo and Bokuto are the same as we know them as, long time friends and bros. Except they exchanged personalized trinkets as a symbol of their “bond” as “sworn partners” in... life. In a totally heterosexual way. Yup. There is nothing heterosexual about it.

Bokuto gave Kuroo some of his molted feathers (which he most definitely complained about at first) but he wears them on his hair or as a necklace (so they don’t fall off when he transforms). He definitely doesn’t wear them with pride, nosiree.

I’ve read that claws are retractable for big cats, but I don’t know if they grow back when lost. So Bokuto wears Kuroo’s fangs as a necklace. (Idk how they fell off. He probably tried to eat a rock solid apple, idk.)

The human equivalent of these are probably weird af lol.

There’s not much else to this AU, haven’t really done any world-building. This just gave me a reason to draw my OTP as furries without the shame lmao. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
