#otp: i kinda can’t stop thinking about him

[buckley-kinard]

genuinely baffled by people saying bucktommy “only has platonic chemistry” / that they don’t see any chemistry when they kiss…

like aside from buck’s tongue being down tommy’s throat in the hospital—the eye contact, hand gestures, etc in both kiss scenes made me blush to watch. WHAT show are they watching?

[peaches2217]

I have so many varied and fun WIPs I could work on but my brain continues to scream “BE WEIRD ABOUT CHILDBIRTH! SURELY YOU WON’T WEIRD ANYONE OUT IF YOU KEEP WRITING ABOUT CHILDBIRTH!” and I’d like it to sTOP

[dovetalez]

rewatching 1899 because I sold my soul to Bo and Jantje and im on ep.3 around 56:38

Daniel points out the fog and how it’s “almost like someone sent it here to stop that madman” (paraphrasing) and the way Maura defends him 😭. I can’t help but feel bag for Daniel. I love him but Eyk and Maura are my beloveds they’re my otp I cannot help it.

Anyways I think it’s really interesting how the conversation plays out ESPECIALLY after the scene with Ángel and Ramiro; again paraphrasing because I don’t have much time to find the exact quotes, but Ángel says something along the lines of “you can’t change the nature of things, I will always be who I am and you will always be who you are” and thinking abt the true husband/key eyk theory makes me want to implode. Maura is constantly choosing Eyk, she does in the beginning by opening up to him the way she does, (I’m sure there are faults in my statements but like I said they’re my otp and I’m just excited to ramble about them) and even though their letters all say trust no one they have this weird invisible pull to each other. Also before I joined tumblr, everytime I rewatched it I would always focus on Sebastian. I think it’s really interesting (I could be looking to much into this of course) that some of the time when Eyk and Maura are interrupted it’s because of Sebastian— and he always kinda has this look or behavior around them. It just makes me think if hypothetically he had seen this happen over and over again, he definitely sees patterns. Again with what Henry says, I don’t need to state the line because we all know it— takes me back to this same statement of “you can’t change the nature of things” god I love the dialogue in this show.

I just think personally, there are a lot of things I know I choose to exaggerate knowing Jantje and Bo write very with the flow of the show— (flashbacks to andreas saying he stopped trying to understand Jantje a long time ago gives me a giggle) but the way Eyk and Maura behave around each other is no coincidence I won’t except any other answers. They love each other.

Hey! I love what your doing here. I was wondering if you know any Sterek fics where stiles and/or derek are “dark” or morally grey”, maybe some criminal ones. Ive read “Pretty Little Wolf” by ItsMe_Basil on ao3 and it was really good, so kinda like that.

Sure!

He'll bleed you 'til you're just bone and skin by ElisAttack

(1/1 I 2,236 I Explicit)

It's moments when Stiles feels the dull pull of the bruises on his hips, moments when he can't sleep on his stomach because the throbbing ache does nothing for a good night's sleep, it's those moments that make him feel worthless.

Makes him hate Derek with a passion that burns brighter than anything else he feels.

Or the one where Derek doesn't know his strength, but Stiles knows he deserves it.

Alpha by Nival_Vixen

(1/1 I 3,257 I Explicit)

Stiles has been kidnapped by a serial killer known only as Alpha. Stiles finds himself far too attracted to the man that's probably going to kill him.

No one called, until someone did. by queen_of_OTPs

(1/1 I 4,419 I Mature)

Stiles found that he hadn’t spoken more than necessary since August. Gone were the rambling rants, extravagant gestures, and range of vocal tones. Monotone sentences that were cut with sharp edges, words like knives and tone like venom.

No one had called.

The Killer AU by cloudsarefluffy

Based on this Tumblr Post: "Imagine your OTP meeting each other for the first time, at night, in the woods, while both trying to dispose of their freshly killed corpses.

The pack is gone, everything they've ever cared for destroyed. Now Stiles and Derek hunt the hunters, taking revenge in the only way they know how; blood.

Kill For You by bloodwrites

(1/1 I 2,053 I Mature)

Kate Takes Derek. Stiles snaps.

Or, the one where Stiles embraces his inner sociopath, and Kate doesn't stand a chance.

Love's Violent Delights by Dexterous_Sinistrous

(1/1 I 10,685 I Explicit)

Derek caught the way the man’s eyes looked over Stiles before lingering on his ass. He waited for the clerk to place the key on the counter before he reacted.

Stiles startled at the loud noise, turning away from the pamphlets in the display box to see Derek pinning the clerk’s head against the counter. He drew in an even breath, looking between the struggling man and Derek.

Derek briefly looked at Stiles, hesitating before he saw the gleam of excitement in Stiles’ eyes and the hint of lust in his scent. “Ever look at him, or any other Omega, like that again, and I’ll slice your eyes out with my claws.” He shoved the man back, not caring of the commotion that was made as he snatched up the key from the counter.

let slip the dogs of war by creationmyth

(12/12 I 86,920 I Explicit)

He stares at himself in the mirror. His cheeks are faintly blotchy, flush sparsely coloring down his neck. His eyes look glassy and half-crazed. “Get it the fuck together,” he growls lowly to his reflection. “You lose everything. Get fucking used to it.”

He can’t stop thinking about it. How Derek looked at him, said his name reverently rather than disdainfully.

Stiles sits on the shower floor, shivering even though the spray is far too hot. He keeps replaying the words over and over - sometimes the person someone shows us and the person we choose to see are two different people.

For the first time, Stiles takes a moment to seriously consider that perhaps he has never known Derek Hale at all.  

[allyougottado]

heyy doodle! i hope your doing well, and i hope this isn’t a bother to ask if your still doing the “character list” thingy. but if you are, could you possibly do one for delilah from bad liar? thanks <3! (she’s kinda a coach i’ve been hyperfixating on lately LMAO, anddd i really love what you do so im curious :,D)

AHHH I’M GLAD YOU LIKE MY BLOG… TYSM!!! the goal with this blog (and all my sideblogs tbh) is for ppl who are obsessed with the series to just go down it as a haven for JD posts haha (also my own safe space to talk abt stuff that ppl on twt may find strange hehe) it’s safe to say my goal has been accomplished 🫡 i’m happy :) anywaysssss

delilah🌼

fave thing about them: design probably… glasses is my fave character design trope EVER and teal/pink/yellow is also my fave color scheme hehe

least fave thing about them: don’t hate me for this but i don’t like the song that much tbh 😭

brOTP: it’s a headcanon but i think dahlia (from don’t stop now 2021 and flowers 2024) is her biological sister for the flower joke and pink hair LMAO i’ll talk abt it more in the headcanon section

OTP: didn’t think this far, sorry 😔

nOTP: none atm

random headcanon: i think she goes to JD highschool and dahlia’s her totally rich cool older sister who she doesn’t see nor speak too much… so delilah breaks up with a guy but she can’t stop thinking abt him and she’s very conflicted… but one day she meets up with her sister and they bond over the fact that ppl broke their hearts and catch up with each other and sister bonding ensues!!!! lol

ik that isn’t the meaning of bad liar as a song but i remembered how JD masterfully twisted the meaning of locked out of heaven and realized that these games are literally just OC playlists with matching AMVs so basically this hc can still work!!!!! trust me!!!!! ahahahHAHAHAHA

also she’s one of those sassy spunky nerds. like not a person u could easily bully she stands up for herself 💪😎

unpopular opinion: nothing so far tbh

fave picture of them: i love the old smiley avatars lmao

[shslskaterboy]

protagonists for the character questionnaire!

Oh goodness I hope you’re ready for another essay

Makoto my dear boy

Favourite thing? He’s the most some guy ever. Just a little creature. He’s so relatable because who among us hasn’t been in a situation where we feel wildly outclassed and surrounded by people who are cooler and more talented than us? Despite everything he just keeps going, what a legend

Least favourite is people who are wrong about him. How does anyone play that game and say he’s a nothing character? I just don’t get it, stop disrespecting my son

Honestly he’s got way more excellent lines than people give him credit for, but my favourite has to be “I always choose meat over veggies because I’m still in my teens… my meat teens.” Like WHAT are you talking about king I love it

Brotp probably him and Aoi. It’s the positivity besties

Otp is Naegiri. There’s just so much mutual respect between them and the story does a great job of writing them together that I can’t help but love him

Notp is probably just him with anyone that’s not kirigiri, or togami really. Whilst I personally hc Byakuya as aroace I do get why people ship naegami and I do think it’s kinda hilarious

I hc that him and Komaru are besties. Absolutely attached at the hip. They hang out all the time and he loves doing stuff with her, and is so so excited to introduce her to his new friends

The song I associate with him most is Fireflies by Owl City

Favourite art of him is the one where he’s tripping and his shoe just flies the fuck off. What a silly little man I love him

Hajime my beloved (I’m gonna be normal I swear)

To put it as succinctly as possible, he is just my favourite type of guy. He’s such a bitch, he’s so snarky about everything, he’s simultaneously the smartest and dumbest person in any given room, and he actually cares very deeply for things but he won’t readily admit to it. He’s got one of the more interesting arcs to me and in general I find him very relatable. He’s the best, my favourite protagonist probably

Least favourite is maybe less about him and more about Izuru Kamukura, and that is how underused he was. Obviously this is an opinion many people know about me, but it bears repeating because the concept of Kamukura was SO COOL and they barely even touched it and I’m mad about it every single day

Another guy that has so many good lines, but I think my favourite is “I thought I’d finally become someone I could be proud of, not some fucking backup student.” It just hits me so hard every time

Brotp probably him and Fuyuhiko or him and Impostor. I just think those three are the ones in the group with the highest sense of responsibility and they are the tired parents of this silly goofy pack of weirdos

Otp. It’s Komahina. Everyone knows this about me and I will refrain from writing an entire essay about why but suffice it to say. They are prefect

Notp is really anyone who’s not Komaeda, but specifically Nanami and Tsumiki are big on the No list for me

I have so many headcanons that my adhd brain can’t even begin to process them in a cohesive way, so I’ll just say that emo-punk autistic Hinata is my absolute beloved. Also man’s definitely has an anxiety disorder. And nooooo I’m definitely not projecting why do you ask

Unpopular opinion (so far the only character I’ve had one for) is that he’s not bi, he’s just gay. And look I love headcanoning every character ever as bi (again tooooootally not projecting) but whenever I replay/rewatch the game I see him being so gay about the men and being so uninterested in the girls (excepted for the super-forced hinanami stuff that I ignore)

I have sooooo many songs so I had to think about this a lot but I think I’m gonna say the best Hinata song is Life Less Frightening by Rise Against

Every image is the best image of him but specifically this one is so good

He’s fucking tired of this shit and he wants to be done with this despair nonsense and I love him for it

Shuichi Saihara, whom I am also normal about

It’s so hard to pinpoint why I love Saihara so much, but I think part of it is the fact that underneath his anxious exterior, he is actually very snarky. I’m always a slut for the sarcastic characters and I like the he is that as well as being generally polite to his classmates. He cares deeply and has a tendency to overthink things (totally not relatable) and I just need to give this poor man a HUG

Least favourite thing is how he interacts with Ouma in the canon outside of ftes. A good example of this being when he finds Ouma bleeding from the head on the floor and doesn’t seem to show any actual concern for him, which seems very out of character to me. I just think there was a lot more they could’ve done to build a connection between protag and antag that would’ve served to make the story more interesting, much the way the relationship between Hinata and Komaeda does

Short and sweet, my favourite Saihara line is simply “I refuse.” I am a big supporter of the idea that Shuichi should’ve been allowed to go a little crazy in chapter 6, and his whole telling off hope and despair speech was very fun. He really went “fuck you and your stupid game” and I just love it

Brotp has gotta be Kaito and Maki. I love the training trio and I think they have a great dynamic

Otp is saiouma. And yes I know I just raised a complaint about their lacklustre interactions in the game, but hey, canon can’t hurt me if I don’t look. There is a lot of potential for excellent character dynamics and that’s what I’m gonna focus on

Notp is saimatsu. Sorry anyone who likes them but it’s so comphet to me. Again, that is a gay boy and a lesbian, not a romantic couple

I hc that he really likes singing. Not to a professional degree or anything, but he does it while he works and it serves as a calming vocal stim for him. His voice is definitely very soft and sweet, which doesn’t lend itself well to his preferred genre of music (my sweet sweet emo boy) but that doesn’t stop him from trying

Again, so many songs I could choose from, but I will go with Swing Life Away by Rise Against because he’s just my sweet guy, my love, my boy

And once more, every image of Shuichi is my favourite, but I very specifically love his Serious Face sprite

I guess the takeaway is I like it when the protags get serious and start to shut shit down

[grungeeuvu]

A through Z (minus the ones you've already answered)

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

My favourite ship at the moment is FengQing (Feng Xin X Mu Qing from TGCF) and I am constantly talking @astrowaffles 's ear off about them. Platonically, I'm always mentally ill about the Shiratorizawa team and how they all support each other. Family-wise, I can't get Shen Twin aus out of my head

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

Yaku and Suga from Haikyuu, both platonic and romantic :) I think either way would be really sweet and funny

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Shiragoshi. I see no appeal in it for either of them and it kinda just gives me the ick

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Anything with Karasuno first years that aren't the stereotypical main ships except maybe Yamahina. Idk I just feel like Tsuki x either of the volleyball idiots would go terribly and someone would end up getting hurt.

Also, Yachi is very much a lesbian to me and I'm taking that to the grave 🫡

Also, kawagata doesn't click with me. I prefer reongata, since they're both third years and at least had dialogue with each other

For a non Haikyuu pairing, I've got to say giyushino or shinogiyu - I don't know if it's hinted canon or just widely popular but I really can't care for it. I don't hate it, I just have no interest

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

I haven't altered the fandom with it but I made #RichPrinceFuckerVirgil a trend with my friends back in 2019

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

The timeline gets a bit confuddled here but my first otp was either prinxiety (Roman X Virgil from Sanders Sides) or klance (Keith X Lance from VLD)

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

I scoped out the Skulduggery Pleasant fandom and I'm not planning on going back (which sucks because the books are amazing)

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Either Zuko, Tsukki, Mu Qing, or Ming Fan (can you tell I'm a fan of grouchy people with the ability to do good?)

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

As someone very neutral over Asahi, I really have to say that he is portrayed as the ace amazingly. Even though he isn't the main character and can't score all the epic points, he's still an inherently powerful force and you always trust in him when the ball goes his way, as this viewer.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Feng Xin :)

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

Reincarnation fics (TGCF)

Multi-chap AU fics (Haikyuu)

ObaMitsu content (KNY)

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

The song "Black Sheep" by Gin Wigmore reminds me of Hua Cheng/TGCF calamities :))

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Sendai Frogs as a forced together bounty hunting crew in a space au that becomes found family 💪

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

DSMP/MCYT - after Technoblade sadly passed away and then the finale was handled so clumsily, I just couldn't bother with it anymore. However, I still watch a lot of those YouTubers today, like Tommyinnit and Jack Manifold :)

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

Shiratorizawa Third Years for the win!!!!

@/baguantte has an AMAZING piece of fanart for all of them which I regularly return to look at :))

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Shen Yuan was chronically ill before he transmigrated and he died not just due to choking but because a seizure happened during his rage-eating. We know he's an unreliable narrator, hence why he never mentions this - he hated being ill and felt ashamed by it, so he never wants to think about it now he's no longer sick.

A prompt for this could be Shen Qingqui gets wife plotted and the consequence is far too similar to how he lived his old life that he keeps nearly breaking over it. Could lead to an identity reveal or just some good ol' hurt/comfort

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

Yamagata has clinical depression. Idrk where this came from but it's something I very much stand by and have lots of interlocking ideas with so, yeah, no one is changing my mind on that.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Mu Qing (TGCF/Heaven Official's Blessing) - he's my favourite because of his complicated character. He says negative things, the rumours about him is how he is cold and unkind, yet we see his actions and behaviour portrayed very differently. He's a truly complicated guy.

Goshiki Tsutomu (Haikyuu) - I've written an essay on him which I now cannot find??? I'll have to fish it out but basically he's a really well written character whom performs so hard despite the anxiety he's visibly under being in such an infamous team

Shen Yuan (SVSSS/Scum Villain's Self Saving System) - he's a nerd who died and is now a hot guy but has the nerve to complain about it, he's just like me and I love that.

V - Which character do you relate to the most?

It sounds dramatic and emo as fuck, but Mu Qing. I just get him on a very deep level.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

Major Character Death or just Character Death in general - I always find it very cheap or unfulfilling. To get me on board with Major Character Death takes a LOT

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

The Girlboss X Malewife ship - I don't mind the genders, I don't care for dynamics... if that ship is in there, it's likely to be my favourite!! See FengQing and KyouHaba for reference lol

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Bnha, Bungo Stray Dogs and a bit of Mob Psycho

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

AHHHHH OKAY UHHH I accidentally got my mother into not just Haikyuu and Demon Slayer but also TGCF?? We've been watching The Untamed together too - she really wants me to read her manga series Boys Over Flowers and I've been meaning to haha

[nrrrdgrrrl2002]

Of Mutants And Monsters

Another Casrai short story cause they’re my OTP

“Casey was investigating an underground lab on his own. His comm was turned off as he was getting sick of the others teasing him for what happened the other day.

Not my fault that girl knew about the suit’s function.

How did she know about that anyway?

Didn’t matter. He moved some test tubes as he looked around. Maybe if he found something interesting his teammates would leave him alone.

Casey picked up a canister with a blue green ooze in it. He held it up to see what it could be.

“Hi again” Casey jumped and dropped the canister upon hearing that. The canister shattered on the floor as he quickly turned around,

Not again.

Karai sat on a table as she gave him a flirty look.

“Oh no. I’m not dealing with you again” Casey said as he walked towards her.

“Ohh. Did I do something wrong?” Karai asked as he grabbed her wrist.

“You bit me!” Casey responded with a growl. Karai smiled.

“I can do it again” she said as her eyes shifted to gold snake eyes and stuck out a serpent tongue.

Dammit

Casey thought as he blushed. “I had to get freakin branches through my veins to make sure I wasn’t poisoned!” He yelled.

“Yick” Karai said with a chuckle. “Anyway: you’re comin with me” Casey said.

“Gonna have to catch me first” she said. Casey gave her a confused look.

“I already di- DOW!” He yelped as her tail smacked his face, causing him to let go.

He rubbed his nose as he saw her in her snake form quickly slither away.

“SERIOUSLY?!” He yelled as he chased after her. The two ran around the place as Casey tried to catch her, accidentally going on all 4s at points.

Eventually, she led him to a room with a huge vat below them. Karai had nowhere to go as the bridge they were on hit a dead end that would cause her to fall in the vat.

“Ha! Can’t slither away now can ya?!” Casey yelled triumphantly. Karai didn’t respond as she looked around.

Casey walked closer as she had nowhere to go. “Ok this time” Casey started as he grabbed her arm.

“NOW you’re coming with me” he said with a smirk. Karai gave him a strange look that he couldn’t read.

She then jumped into the vat, using her tail and arm to drag Casey with her.

“SHI-“ Casey yelled as he was pulled down. The two fell into the water and were sucked down a pipe.

Luckily Casey didn’t need to able to breathe or he would’ve most likely drowned as they went through twisting and turning pipes.

After a while, he eventually fell out of the tube into the middle of a dump with a river flowing around it.

He sat up with an extremely annoyed face as he spit out some water, his soaked hair sticking to his face.

He saw Karai in her human form standing on a mountain or trash, waving at him cockily.

He emitted a toxic green glow as he growled in anger.

“That’s it” he growled as he got up and pressed the button on his belt. He grew back to his “normal” size as he looked at Karai with pure rage.

He stood up and slammed his fist into the trash mountain Karai was standing on, not thinking about his actions.

Casey looked around confused as he had no idea where she went. “There you are” she said in a sing song voice as she popped up behind his hair.

Casey quickly grabbed her off his shoulder, keeping a tight grip as he held her up to his face.

“Sheesh. You seem riled up. Gonna take me up the Empire State Building king ko- DAH!” She yelled as her body was being crushed.

“I am DONE playing games” he growled at her. “Who are you? How do you know me? What do you want?” He interrogated her.

“K-kinda hard to explain when you’re- Guh- crushing my lungs” she gasped out.

Casey’s green glow dimmed as he realized what he was doing. He looked away in horror as he loosened his grip, causing her to gasp as she could finally fully breathe.

What the hell was he doing?

He thought as he processed his actions. He took a deep breath as he looked at her. “Ok. If I let you go, will you stop screwing around and tell me what your deal is” he asked her.

“Sure. But only if you knock it off with the trying to take me in stuff” she said. He sighed.

“Fine” he responded as he set her on top of the roof of a small building in the junkyard, sitting on his legs to talk to her.

He layed his arms on the roof as he looked at her. “So who are you” he asked.

“Names Karai. Yours?” She asked with a smile as she sat on a gated fan.

“Hey this is your questioning. Not mine” he said as he pointed at her.

“So you can ask me personal and invasive questions but I can’t do the same? That doesn’t seem fair” she said slyly.

Casey groaned. “Fine. My names Casey Jones” he responded.

“I didn’t know giant monsters get last names” she joked. “I’m not a monster” he said defensively.

“I mean.. you’re gigantic, glowing green and tried to crush me to death so-“ she started.

“That was an accident!” He responded. “How do you accidentally try to squeeze someone to death?” She asked.

“I was just- wait we’re getting sidetracked” Casey realized.

“Back to the topic. How are you a shapeshifting snake…. lady… thing?” He asked.

“Ooh! Now that’s a fun story. But I’ll only tell if you tell me how a guy like you ended up with people like them” she said.

Casey thought about it. “Fine. But you first” he said.

“Fair” she responded. She took a deep breath as she started.

“Have you ever heard of the foot militia?” She asked. Casey thought.

Weren’t those the crazy soldier guys that went after them sometimes?

“Sorta?” He said as he scratched his head. “Ok so here’s what you need to know about em” she started.

“They’re a bunch of crazy f••ks who are led by the ultimate crazy f••k that is the Shredder”

The shredder?

Why did that name sound familiar?

“He wanted to create the ultimate army in order to conquer anything he could. Using the research of mutation by ancient aliens, he would turn some of his men into monsters. Sometimes the subjects were willing. Other times they were his prisoners that were mutated as punishment. Almost none of them survived. At least with their mind intact”

“And you were one of them?” Casey asked. She looked at him and then looked away as she remembered.

The betrayal…

The fear…

The pain…

His face…

She sighed. “I was his ultimate experiment. His heir. His daughter…” she said as her cool girl facade was starting to shed.

Casey have a sad look as he could see some of her pain. “He… he didn’t..” he stuttered.

“He did” she finished. “I don’t consider him my father anymore..” she said.

Casey felt regret for asking. “I’m sorry” he said. He tapped his finger as he wasn’t sure what to say.

“My dad wasn’t AS bad. But he wasn’t exactly a great guy either” he said.

Dammit what are you doing?

He thought to himself. “Was your dad Godzilla or…” she tried to joke but was struggling to put the cool girl act back on.

“No my dads human” he responded. “Oh” Karai paused. “So you take after your mother?” She asked jokingly, starting to regain her composure.

Casey thought back to his mom. How a lot of his physical traits were inherited from her. Well….

“I used to” he said. Karai gave him a confused look. “Both my parents are human” he said.

“Well then how did two humans create… this whole situation?” She asked as she gestured to him.

“They didn’t. A meteor did” he responded. “Wait…” Karai started.

“You used to be human too?” She asked with a smile. “I still am!” He said defensively.

“Riiiight” she said with a chuckle. “Cause most humans have grey skin and are 50 feet tall” she said sarcastically.

He glared at her. “So how did you come across a meteor?” She asked.

“Well. It landed in my backyard and my sister and I went to investigate” he started.

“And I… fell into the crater and smacked into the thing… and I think absorbed the radiation from it” he finished.

Karai burst out laughing. “You literally FELL into it?!” She said as she laughed.

Casey glared at her. “Oh shut up! That was the worst night of my life!” He yelled.

“I’m sure it was” she said as she was still laughing. “But to think. It all could’ve been avoided if you just weren’t a clutz” she finished while still cackling.

Casey’s face turned “red” from anger and embarrassment as he tried to get her to stop laughing.

“Stop laughing! I could smash you right here!” He yelled.

“Ooh! Fast and loose I see? Just my type” she said while lying on her back on the gated fan, looking at him upside down.

“SHUT UP!” Casey yelled in a high pitched voice, his face bright green from his blushing.

Goddamn stupid hormones.”

[dragongirldg]

Hellooo there how are you

anyways if you want you can use this post to infodump on whatever you want

Info dumping huh? Well then.

I have been the biggest fan of this one ship for as long as I remember. Back in high school, I developed an interest in Homestuck. I obsessed over John Egbert specifically.

As I read fanfiction and looked at fanart, no ship sparked. I didn’t really care. I would read and yeah it’s cute and blah blah blah not my OTP.

Then the worst thing could have happened.

I looked at a crack ship and then I was fxcked. The more I thought about it, the more I loved it. Karkat who? Dave who? Dirk who? Sollex and Eridan who? Literally everyone that’s a common ship WHO?

It didn’t stick with me.

Want to know what stuck?

Caliborn.

I had this idea of Calliope getting to John first and then breaking up for one reason or another.

Then Caliborn and John date or live together for other reasons.

Calliope doesn’t really come into the equation anymore or show up in my daydreams.

I don’t why, but I thought it was adorable if John just got bothered by Caliborn at every turn. They’d bother and fight and just it was cute how much they antagonized.

Then I started developing my trans Headcanon and June eventually makes her first appearance without her being June. It’s only recently (late 2022? - 2023) that I heard the name June and went from there.

I would draw and write fanfiction after fanfiction adding and subtracting details.

June stays 8ft tall and Caliborn is slightly shorter by a few feet or inches.

Caliborn gets rid of the half shaved hair look for short curly hair.

I couldn’t stop doodling John all over my school work to the point my science teacher recognized him when I gave her a little quiz. She had a bearded dragon in the classroom and I loved holding them during class :3

(Don’t ask about the things I did in highschool)

I had a ton of ideas and a lot of them were problematic tbh so I’m still curving them out of my head for far better ideas.

No matter what fandom I became a part of John/ June x Caliborn never left me. I didn’t want to really read fics anymore since no one writes my ship.

Does anyone actually do pixies and Crocker and Harley and Egbert family dynamics? Do they ever have them interacting like a big extended family?

If I had the urge, I’d write my AU ideas more. (I’m kinda stuck at the moment, work burns me out to much and too often that I don’t have motivation to get through the one? Shot I have)

I am going to attempt to redraw this political romance fancomic I drew a long time ago to update it with my newest version of John/ June. That means she will be June. If I could find the notebooks I had.

With my inability to write I’m stuck with lackluster chapters and get nothing done. I need some form of energy boost for my creativity. It’s at an all time low at the moment, being used for other fandoms.

Like this Transformers AU that got me in a chokehold.

Optimom AU (I have a whole blog on it if you want to send asks and stuff)

Optimus becomes the mother of Soundwave, Sari, and Bumblebee. The seeker teens think of Optimus as their mother and there are like 9 of them. Not to mention the others that kind of sees Optimus as a mother figure.

Basically Found Family Trope :3

It’s more complicated than that and I have several fanfics and fanart (which is now found in the Blog)

The messy Age thing with Sari, it’s because I plan of having her die at some point (trauma) and I can’t in good conscience do that to a 3-5 year old (it’s by electrocution).

Yeah it’s messed up, but the world of Transformers is equally if not more messed up and morally grey :3

At least Ariel (Black Arachnia) and Sari get to become extensions of Unicron and Primus!

Sentinel redemption and Ultra Magnus retiring to become Optimus’ father.

There’s a lot to the AU I’m not going in to in this post but yeah!!! That’s it!!!

Honestly I could go on, but then the post will never end.

Hi! Not sure if you're still doing the OTP relationships ask thing but if you do I'd love to hear your thoughts on 29 and 37 for Mungrove! Thank you!

Hiiii! I'm still doing it, it took me a little while to get around to do it because I have, once again, a lot to say, but thanks a lot for the ask and the opportunity to be completely unhinged about them again 🥰

wanna ask me questions about my blorbos? follow this link to the otp ask game

29.  What is their sex life like?  

The short answer: wild, kinky, mildly dangerous, somehow therapeutic.

The long answer under the cut. 🤣 CW: I obviously talk about sex, kinks, use of one homophobic slur.

In canon universe—or close enough to canon since it works better if they’re alive 😂 I think their sex life is mostly about exploring at first. 

Themselves, each other, what it means to be a man who has sex with another man. Eddie is pretty much a blank canvas because I don’t think he’d have a lot of experience before Billy, so it’s mostly fun and “yeah I really am gay lmao” for him, meanwhile Billy does have experience but strictly with women, so he’d kinda be rediscovering what sex is and coming to terms with the fact that he will never, ever feel that way with a girl. 

They both have a pretty bad case of internalized homophobia, but it’s even worse for Billy—he’s the one who gets called a fag by his own father because he likes taking care of himself and looking good, he’s also overflowing with toxic masculinity, so things are probably a bit rocky at first. Billy is 100% the kind of guy who’ll laugh in Eddie’s face the first time he asks him if he wants to bottom, because he isn’t that gay, you know? 🙄

Thankfully, they move past this, either because Eddie knocks some sense into him by telling him there’s no Gay Scale, or because Eddie implies Billy’s too chickenshit to take a dick up his ass and Billy simply can’t resist a challenge. 😈

So, yeah, no matter what universe they’re in, I think they experiment a lot. They’re both very horny and very into each other. They’re young and stupid and they both are a little bit (sometimes a lot) self-destructive, which means they’re kinda on board with trying basically anything at least once even if it sounds dangerous—perhaps even because it sounds dangerous sometimes. 

Like, they can’t be found out because the consequences would be bad, but that doesn’t stop them from having sex in public spaces because they enjoy the thrill, things like that.

And yeah, I think they’re both pretty kinky, again, no matter what experience they have. I think they’d play a lot with D/s dynamics, it’s not always a part of their relationship but it’s definitely something they’d explore. 

I tend to write Billy with a thing for pain, so mostly impact play, some overstimulation, it’s about getting hurt in a safe and controlled setting, where he’s the one who decides when it stops because all he has to do is safeword and he knows Eddie will listen. Name calling, humiliation and degradation are a big no though, boy needs to be praised and called pretty. 😌

Eddie is very much into all of this. Giving Billy what he wants/needs? Hell yeah, man could spend hours just taking his boyfriend apart and be satisfied with not getting an orgasm out of it himself, like that’s just a bonus at this point.

Pain is a big no for Eddie, Billy can spank his ass a little bit but not too hard okay >:(  I think (and I’m currently writing a fic featuring this, which I hope to finish soon) Eddie’s thing is humiliation/degradation, being used and denied an orgasm also works wonders for him. It’s pretty heavy for Billy to get like that with Eddie though—yes he can be an absolute dick, but that’s not who he wants to be with Eddie—so it’s something he’d do for him, and not because it’s something he’s into on his own.

I think they’d have quite a few accidents, the fun kind of accidents they can laugh about immediately, and the not so fun kind where one of them gets hurt—physically and/or mentally—but they make a point of working things out and making sure they’re okay afterwards. 

Anyway I could go on and on with all my little mungrove sex headcanons, because I have a lot of those (surprising, I know) but the bottom line is that they love each other a lot and their sex life is mostly about that. 😌

37. What do they like the least about each other?

There are two things Billy has a hard time dealing with. The first one is how Eddie gets when he’s completely wrapped up in something—music, D&D, whatever Eddie is fixated on at the moment. Eddie often requires some ‘me’ time, and that means ‘me and that specific activity I’m so into I forget about everything else around me including my boyfriend’. 

And like, Billy loves that Eddie is passionate, it’s part of what drew him to Eddie, but Billy doesn’t do well with being ignored or forgotten, it triggers all of his insecurities and abandonment issues, so Eddie showing up late or completely forgetting to show up because he lost track of time doing something? Eddie not being available for him for a long period of time because he’s working on a new campaign or whatever? Yeah, that shit hurts. That’s probably something that leads them to fight a lot at first, at least until Billy realizes this isn’t something Eddie does on purpose and that it doesn’t mean Eddie loves him less or whatever. Still, it’s a struggle, one of those things they both need to learn to compromise about.

The second thing Billy likes the least about Eddie is how he gets when he’s struggling with emotional stuff, or hurt. Eddie is awful at dealing with emotions when he feels like they make him look weak. He’s a prideful motherfucker, joking about things that actually hurt him is basically 80% of his personality, and when it hurts too much for him to be able to laugh about it, Eddie shuts down completely. 

A wounded Eddie runs and hides. He’s going to say something awful to push people away and then lock himself up in his room and stay there, wallowing in self-pity until someone volunteers to drag him out. 

And even then, it’s like talking to a fucking wall, and getting Eddie to admit that something wounded him, or that he’s struggling to deal with something is like pulling teeth. 

You know it’s bad when Billy has to be the emotionally mature one, because he’s really fucking bad at it and at having the patience for it, and it drives him kind of crazy when Eddie gets like this, especially considering Eddie’s the one who always encourages him to communicate his own feelings. 

The thing Eddie likes the least about Billy is how insecure he really is, because that’s the source of most of their serious fights. Eddie is a social creature, he craves attention as much as Billy does, but he also genuinely likes people—maybe not a lot of them but he has a circle he really, really cares about, and that’s more than Billy ever had. 

But Billy gets jealous because he doesn’t like sharing Eddie’s time with other people, or because Eddie is a very tactile guy and watching him touch and hug other people makes his skin crawl. 

The jealousy is kind of cute at first, it makes Eddie feel desired you know? But then it leads to Billy acting like a dick, and it’s obvious it’s hurting him and Eddie hates it, he also doesn’t always have the patience to reassure Billy and he isn’t going to stop hanging out with his friends or touching them because it makes his boyfriend growl like a big territorial cat. 

So yeah, it leads to them fighting, which makes it not so cute anymore. 

Just like Billy isn’t a fan of Eddie hyperfixating on things to the point of forgetting about everything else because it triggers his insecurities, Eddie doesn’t like how said insecurities make him feel like shit whenever it happens. He already feels super guilty when he realizes he’s been neglecting the people around him but Billy has a tendency to make him feel even worse about it because he gets angry/frustrated/sad and that’s just not helpful. 

It's also really hard for Eddie to realize something is wrong sometimes, Billy will suddenly be a dick or push him away because something Eddie said or did made him fear he's going to leave him, or doesn't actually love him, etc... and Eddie simply doesn't get it? So it's more fighting and trying to figure out what the fuck is wrong, more guilt, etc...

Anyway, I honestly think they're each other's best option for MANY reasons, but that doesn't mean they don't have a few struggles, they're both very flawed and they come with their own baggage—and it's not a small one lmao—so things are bound to be difficult once in a while.

I feel like I'm a bit all over the place in both answers but I did my best, I hope this wasn't awful to read! Thanks again for asking me questions about my blorbos 🥰

2 for Fenris and for Merrill for the question meme!

Best boy and best girl <3 <3 <3

Thank you <3 I feel like I'm just going to repeat all the things I've already said about them in various other places but, whoa-kay, let's go!

002 | Give me a character: FENRIS

How I feel about this character: Ugh, god. Best boy in the whole series. I relate a lot to his feelings of betrayal, his fear of vulnerability, the obsession with his own capacity for evil, and his everpresent need to rationalise and overthink to try to justify or curtail the needs propelling his behaviour. And outside of me, I think his capcity to be adoring and gushy with the people he loves is very endearing. He’s also imo the companion who has the best visible character growth arc in the series. It’s so lovely watching him come into his own identity over his time in Kirkwall, and I love seeing how he changes between the three acts of the game &lt;3

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Anders. Justice. Isabela. Merrill, kinda. In the unlikely circumstance that she gets to do something fucked up enough in the name of protecting him to give him a boner. Hawke, when Hawke looks and behaves in ways that are nothing like actual canon Hawke. (Rant incoming.) Aveline and Donnic, maybe? I feel like I haven’t figured out a way to make it work that’s not just him being their exotic unicorn which makes me want to punch them both (hope you understand) so I can’t actually justify this one. Velanna would be funny too. I have the need to see it happen.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Merrill. God, she is just- a friggin hilariously awful troll to him in canon and I always wanna take it further. Her talking down to this amnesiac, making excuses for the fact that her little brother elf is very stupid ‘forgive him! he only has seven years of life experience to draw from!’ In a terrible, awful, and funny way, I think Merrill having this connection to another elf she can relieve some of this First to the Keeper condescention onto is nice for her. And Fenris having an elf blood mage in his life that the last thing he needs to do is try to protect or even be nice to is nice for him. They’re both great. Five stars.

My unpopular opinion about this character: He’s got the worst canon romance in the whole game. (Rant incoming.) But within the worst canon romance of the whole game, he has the best scene for helping Hawke grieve Leandra. Idk, I’ve been in Hawke’s shoes there, and I wish I’d had someone like Fenris with me. Who knew there was nothing to say to make it better, but was willing to be there regardless.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: (Rant) Literally any overt textual acknowledgement anywhere that Fenris has made Hawke the outlet for his conditioning with Danarius - following Hawke around to protect him, killing people on Hawke’s command, wearing the Amell coat of arms in the romance, voicing his love for Hawke in the terms of possessive ownership (‘I am yours’), and showing unwavering devotion in the midst of the people around them saying dehumanising racist things about Fenris that Hawke makes absolutely no efforts to stop (ie. Carver calling Fenris Hawke’s ‘pet elf’ in the combat commands). Literally any overt acknowledgement that Hawke is a Hightown noble and Fenris is an elvhen foreigner and second-class citizen that relies on Hawke’s goodwill for immediate physical protection against slave hunters. Literally any overt acknowledgement that, in the fenhawke romance scene, Hawke decided that Fenris impulsively kissing them, directly after Fenris faced down his abuser and learned he had a sister, was an invitation for both pinning Fenris against a wall and any sex that followed after. Literally any overt acknowledgement that this is a completely unreasonable situation to expect someone with a history of abuse and slavery and child grooming be comfortable flexing their own agency and right to not consent to sex. Except perhaps after it’s already happened, which is when Fenris finally does so. I don’t know - I don’t even fully blame Hawke for not understanding some of this but... Man, I want Fenris to get ANGRY about some of it. I think he should go a little feral. I want him to unapologetically do more things that aren’t in Hawke’s best interests, but his own. Maybe unapologetically do some things in his own best interests that screw Hawke over entirely.

my OTP: Ugh, yeah, it’s fenders. And I hate saying that right after I’ve gone on that (Rant) up there ^ because I feel like it definitely makes me look like bitchy ship war trash. I swear it’s not like that! (I’m not sure I’d believe me either) Anyhow, yeah, disclaimer is I know Anders is a racist no-boundaries asshole menace. And I think any portrayal of this relationship worth a damn has Anders dial back the aggression and at least tacitly acknowledging that it’s unfair to ask Fenris to take up mage liberation as his cause. But, man, they want so much of the same things out of a realtionship. Like, a connection that fulfills their every cathartic desire for family and domesticity and safety - the safety to be just unreservedly gushy and devoted and adoring with their partner and ‘I’d commit attrocities for you’. They are both sooo intense in their romance scenes. It is TOO MUCH. Too much for anyone but one another, I mean. They should try fucking that out with one another. Also, like, nice tasty foils goodness of two ex-slaves with WILDLY different experiences of it. I think what gets me about Fenris is that he’s clearly internalised a lot of apologist rhethoric about his own slavery. Like the idea that someone sufficiently dangerous should be enslaved for the safety of others. Which you know is something that people in Tevinter said about him, Mr LyriumWolf BioWeapon. I think Fenris is quick to project this POV onto Anders and, in the moments when Anders makes these angry comments about how Fenris is a violent monster, I feel like you can hear Fenris bracing for the conclusion that he thus does not deserve to be free or deserve Hawke et al’s help fighting off his would-be captors. Because I don’t think he has the self-confidence and rhethoric to really argue against that. But, like, even if he’ll talk a lot of smack about Fenris in other ways, this just isn’t somewhere that Anders is going to take things. Because Anders believes that there are inherent rights to being a person and violences nobody deserves. And this is also something Anders has had the self-assuredness and presence of mind to argue for himself and other mages, even when the entire rest of the world is working against him. And that’s something about Anders that I think in the right circumstances that Fenris could be a little awed by and take inspiration from. A little more willingness to burden others with his problems, and to believe in and advocate for himself - that he deserves better, and that he deserved better even when he was at his worst. That’s what the ship is about for me.

my cross over ship: I got nothing.

a headcanon fact: I seem to have a lot of opinions about the books he likes to read. He likes reading nonfiction, history and economics and architecture. And also poetry. He does not like Varric’s pulp novels, lol.

--

002 | Give me a character: MERRILL

How I feel about this character: Ugh, god. Best girl in the whole series. I love how sweet and thoughtful she can be, and how she’ll extend goodwill towards the other companions at their lowest even when they obstinately haven’t done much to ‘deserve’ it from her. But it’s the moments when she’s not being sweet at all that that I really start to love her. Like, the way she’ll bait people like Aveline and Sebastian and Anders and Fenris with these ‘innocent’ questions that are so brimming with passive-aggressive missle-guided criticism (Asking Aveline why she doesn’t arrest them, and whether Aveline’s a bad guard, and watching Aveline get defensive about it, is one example of many that come to mind.) She’s just very cutting and insightful in all the right moments. And... even though I don’t feel like I agree with the general dogma of the game about blood magic, I do think through that conflict they captured Merrill’s own inability to accept critique well. I think it’s something you see a lot in people with a history of emotional abuse like Merrill, where she’s been criticised so much for anything she tries to do, that she’s just become completely unable to engage with any well-intentioned critique anymore, so she gets very withdrawn and stubborn instead. This is actually the last section of the meme I’m filling out and I’m a bit out of steam. I don’t feel like I really did best girl justice with this description but WRAAAAGH- Know that I love her to pieces.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Anders. Hawke. I realise that Hawke is pretty patronising and paternalistic with her in the canon romance, and I’m not sure I can even say it’s less exploitative than fenhawke up there ^  But she is the character that I tend to come around on wanting to romance as Hawke most. Hopefully I find ways to make it work that aren’t, well, upsetting. Fenris, kinda. And Isabela, kinda. As described up there ^ and in the Isabela ask here, respectively. Bethany/Merrill seems cute enough. Carver/Merrill interests me too, but only really in specific circumstances. I feel like the appeal of the ship is them both having inferiority complexes out the wazoo, and all this baggage about their families and not being taken seriously. And then they both come together to act this out on one another and ultimately work past it. Also farmboy hick Carver really projecting the idea of Merrill being this innocent, naive, out-of-her-depth sweet Madonna that knows even less about the world than he does - and then getting slapped with the fact that there are a lot of assumptions he’s making there as a man and a human that are wildly offbase. Haha, get wrecked, Carver! Also Aveline, kinda? It’s hard for me to wholly imagine going much of anywhere without Isabela between them (also because, you know, the Guard’s violences against the Alienage) but I think their friendship is underrated. They have a lot of cute and snazzy banters. I like the one from Mark of the Assassin where Merrill says they should get matching costumes and be crime-fighting partners together. Morrigan, in an angry ‘fuck you shem Eluvian stealer’ way. Dagna, in a ‘magic researchers and science nerds’ way. Pol, in an ‘evil arachnophobia horror’ way. Audacity, in an ‘awful incel tries to posess your mom when you reject him’ way. I have written a LOT of Merrill ships at this point.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Fenris. As per the above response in his section. That said, Fenris actually imo says the worst and cruellest thing anyone says in the whole game, to Merrill. Anders definitely takes the next 4+ spots on the Worst Things These Characters Have Said to One Another List, but #1 for me is definitely Fenris calling Merrill a monster in the immediate aftermath of Pol’s death. What a dick (affectionate).

My unpopular opinion about this character: She is a person capable of evil. That’s what having agency and power are - the capability to do good and evil. That does not mean I think it’s a power that she shouldn’t have and shouldn't cultivate, quite the opposite. So I need more fic about Merrill being sexy and evil (and also taking it up the butt).

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: It’s a shame Merrill’s quests are really so much Dalish infighting. I wish we could have had more information about her actual goals. What she is trying to accomplish with the Eluvian and her work in the Alienage. In her banters we see some pretty scathing opinions about humans and their culture. And I think any work she does organising and helping Alienage elves is ultimately going to be pretty violent and revolutionary, knowing the kind of disenfranchised that Alienage elves are, and knowing Merrill’s own skillset for helping is, um, highly specialised (murder, blood magic, crafting, and more murder). It’s extra disappointing knowing that Justice & Velanna were the original plan for DA2 instead of Justice & Anders. I wish we could have seen Dalish issues be given the kind of weighty treatment that mage issues ended up getting. But, idk... I feel like Trespasser went more in that direction and then just used it to shit all over indiginous cultures so... :/

my OTP: Merders, or Anders/Merrill. I wrote a post once about how I felt these two characters were far more similar than the game wanted to allow, and how I didn’t feel the game gave proper weight to Andrastian Chantry Imperialism as the base cause for both the mage and Dalish genocides. Those are still the ideas I like being at the centre of Anders and Merrill’s relationship. A lot of the vibes from Act 3 in the game are when I really start to feel this relationship because, like- they’re both at that point struggling with the fact that they’ve made huge sacrifices and concessions to seeing through their goals, and neither are sure that they can actually accomplish those goals anymore, and neither really feels like they can be dogmatically assured that they alone are correct or that the ends don’t justify the means they have each chosen. And I like how she seems a bit in awe of his determination and resillience in spite of that. Also Merrill’s nonreaction to TLS, lol. Going off what I said about Chantry Imperialism - I think of all the companions, Merrill easily has the most reason to want to see Anders wipe the Kirkwall Chantry off the face of the damned map. On a more personal note, I like exploring the kind of condescending protectiveness that Anders feels towards Merrill as another mage, and how Merrill both invites this and rejects this at different points, as it reminds her of Marethari’s controlling/sabotaging protectiveness. And also I like when Anders is a racist asshole and harangues Merrill about her differing cultural ideas about things like blood magic, and then she smacks back and slaps him with her own aggressions. Idk, so many of the companions she’s different levels of complacent with when they talk down to her or belittle her. I just kinda love that Anders gets her riled up enough to smack back.

my cross over ship: I don’t think I have one.

a headcanon fact: I don’t headcanon the mage characters actually walking around Kirkwall with staffs most of the time. I think for Anders just casting with his hands works best, both because it kinda plays up the feral abomination angle, and because I think him needing to get his hands on everything suits his boundary issues. For Merrill I imagine her weapon/casting focus of choice being an obsidian knife from her clan. It keeps showing up in all the fics I write about her :’)

[veggiesforpresident]

Kirk! For the character ask obvs

Thank you Kris! I'm gonna go with TOS Kirk

Favorite thing about them: How he really believes in equality and treating everyone around him with respect. Also the way he teases his friends. Also the way he's a strategist, always observing and thinking. I'm gonna stop there or I could go on.

Least favorite thing about them: His workaholic tendencies. Cmon man, take a break. You know he’s the kinda guy who’s impossible to have a conversation with bc hes always thinking about work and starfleet and space. And thats if you can even get him alone for 5 minutes when he’s not working.

(as for actual character flaws, I'd have to think about it, tbh)

Favorite line: The Let Me Help monologue ""Let me help." A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words even over "I love you."

brOTP: Kirk and McCoy! Specifically I enjoy like nebulous/queerplatonic McKirk where they would never actually date but they’re also each other’s emotional rocks/their Person in life

OTP: Kirk/Spock, obvs. I mean, look at them. to me theyre the rare kind of OTP where like, i can’t seriously ship them with anyone else. like how do you approach the Spock Factor when you think about kirk and shipping? and vice versa. you know what i mean?

nOTP: Kirk/Spock/McCoy, I'm sorry, I just don't like it

random headcanon: he fidgets all the time, like with the hem of his shirt or his hair. also hes a totally history nerd.

unpopular opinion: hm. i guess a lot of people dont like Tarsus IV in fic or don't think it was as big as fic writers make it out to be, but i really like it and i think it had a profound impact on him. (im also just a sucker for a good backstory.)

song i associate with them: Oooh. I'll have to think on this one.

favorite picture of them: Any one where he's giving Spock heart eyes, tbh.

Thought I would just pop in one last time to answer some questions: 1) when it comes to drag race, yes and no. He watched a few of them but he just watches Trixie and Katya’s stuff. But his faves and the only ones he knows if you ask me, are Trixie (which is why i think he mentioned it since his knowledge is limited), Katya, Jinkx and Kim Chi. 2) he does not know that Gale is straight and i would be lying if i said that, I was not tempted to ask if he has any thoughts tho ngl 3) he knows I’ve seen it and yet he refuses to use his brain cells.

And i will now leave you with some of my favorite texts i got from him in the last hour: -‘they don’t have any puddings here. I rip my stitches and they can’t even give me a pudding to feel better?’ -‘so do you think they get together? Like actually get together? Like what do you think?’ -‘yo! I was thinking and Ted had that guy that was kinda cute but even more high than me, Mike had Doctor Dipshit and now if he isn’t a dumbass he’ll get to keep Benny boy, Brian has Justin…what about my boy Em? Does he get to be happy? Or do i have to murder someone?’ -‘Justin’ -‘dONT EVEN THINK ABOUT EATING MY SNACKS! I was saving them for tomorrow’s episodes!’ -‘soooo whatcha doin? Because I am thinking about what do these new rules now mean for them’ (this was immediately followed with a text saying) ‘oh god fuck, i had a horrible thought what if Bri breaks the rules? Damn it, now i cant stop thinking about that. But he wouldn’t do that to us’ -‘so the blonde nurse is nice to me, do you think she likes me’ (i reply with no, shes doing her job) ‘i know that, im not dumb! But would it kill you to lie to me just once to make me feel better? I mean she listened to me when i told her about the show’ -‘…you do realize you owe me soooooo many favors, right? I literally ripped my stitches and am back in the hospital because of you. You owe me SOOOOO much.’

So needless to say he is okay and living his best (drugged up) life. And btw there are so many more texts and voice memos that make zero sense but i just had to send some of my top favorites bc it would be rude to not share whatever that is with the class.

Oh man, anon, I worry for your brother when Ethan enters the picture. You had better keep him from ripping more stitches. I love how concerned he is with Emmett's love life (and tbh a sore point of the end of the series is... well all of it, but also that Emmett doesn't have anyone). I love that he knows that Ted and Blake are also OTP.

Okay, of those drag queens, Trixie is the most like Godiva. In my mind. Where these types of scientific explorations are conducted.

I love how he thinks he's doing you a favor by watching QAF (I mean, he is but...not in the way he thinks).

Tell him you'll visit him every night in secret while he's in the hospital. Creep outside his door.

Are Charlie/Jesse your OTP?

ALRIGHT SO!!! yes… but also no…? charlie’s my favorite character, and  i like him with a lot of people (linda included, which i know isn’t a popular opinion in this fandom lmao). i especially love him with adam, and i think he’d be a great match for julie. likewise with jesse, i also like him with quite a few others. the mighty ducks: a polycule… so i don’t really have an otp??? i guess???  why settle for one true pairing when you can have several 😩

but i do have the biggest soft spot for charlie/jesse. i think their characters complement each other a lot, in a way i don’t think other characters do (especially with charlie). lemme try to piece my thoughts together below a cut.

throughout the trilogy, we see that charlie is a kid who is incredibly attached–if not the one who is the most attached–to the ducks as a team. (or at least, his version of the ducks, considering he walked out on the team in d3 when he didn’t think it was the team he loved anymore). he goes to extreme lengths to keep it intact & thriving, and i think that’s partly why he’s such a great captain: his dedication. he shows up on the ice when no one else (except fulton) does. he tries to get bombay to come back/make him see sense. he welcomes adam to the team (or tries to), despite an earlier scene showing us that he doesn’t like the idea. he goes to the lengths to recruit russ, and then later gives up his spot for him, and adam, because charlie’s aware they’re better players than him and the team needs their skills more. (funnily enough, these are also the two people he tries to fight in d3 because he thinks they’ve “betrayed” the team/what it stands for). he encourages his teammates, helps/guides them, and protects them. they’re his flock.

they’re also jesse’s flock. he’s charlie’s equal in that he’s the team’s unofficial leader who looks after them about as much as charlie does (with the added bonus of the ducks actually listening to him lmao). like, his very first scene is when he tells the ducks to relax because “he’s got this” while they’re walking up to someone who they think is a drug dealer–even though he was clearly also nervous, jesse put himself in front of the ducks as a shield (and he later does this again, when they’re corned by the hawks, even though the movie cuts it off)!! when bombay disrespects them, jesse lets him know he’s the one in the wrong. he stops charlie from welcoming adam because adam/the hawks used to bully them (and i think it’s important to note that this clearly made an impact on adam, as he entrusted jesse specifically with the task to “kick some hawk butt” and they become close). he’s got a quick temper but it’s typically with good reason, like becoming annoyed with russ after he trash talks connie’s goal.

so when it comes to them together, i love that jesse is pretty much the only duck that charlie does not try to mother hen. he trusts him to lead when charlie doesn’t/can’t (like talking back to bombay in d2) and, even when charlie disagrees with jesse’s assessment (like in the locker room scene with adam, or when jesse quits the team in d1), he doesn’t try to argue against him like he has with other people. when tasked with getting the flock back together, jesse’s the one charlie looks for first. and in turn, when jesse–for the first time in the franchise–seems uncertain of what to do because he doesn’t know if he can trust bombay, charlie is the one jesse looks to. 

SO BASICALLY, the main reason why i love them? they’re (written in a way that makes them) evenly matched. they’re two sides of the same coin. they’re the tip of the flying v. i mean, and this is a headcanon because none of these kids ever had a conversation that wasn’t about hockey, i like to think that jesse is someone who charlie doesn’t have to be in constant captain mode with, someone he can and does lean on (literally). which i also think is a reason why charlie was kinda obnoxious in d3. i mean, don’t even get me STARTED on how he kirby’d jesse, but there was no one to balance charlie out anymore. no one there to *charlie voice* give him a break!!! which meant he was in constant “i am the captain AND leader” mode, which was very exhausting. still, i think it made sense for his character.. (join me again next time where i go in depth about charlie’s abandonment issues).

anyway that was a lot of word vomit. tldr: i love charlie/jesse because they’re equals and they’re married. goodbye the end 😭😭😭
