#otp: it's always been you

[brandyxlynn91]

Show me those pretty white jaws,

show me where the delicate stops.

Show me what you've lost,

and why you're always taking it slow.

Show me what wounds you've got

and show me love.

Sometime during ME3, Raph and Ash are fighting through some Reaper Troops.

Raph: Hey, if we both survive this war, do you want to get married?

Ash: (laughs) What, to each other? We're in the same unit, that'd be a problem.

Raph: Not if I retire the second the last Reaper drops.

Ash: Aww, you want to pursue being a trophy husband?

Raph: If it's yours, I would consider it a dream job.

Ash: You know you'd need permission directly from the Council to retire from being a Spectre, right? It's in the manual.

Raph: There's a Spectre manual?

Ash: (laughs) Yes, Shepard. If we both manage to get out, I'll marry you.

Actually going insane over the implications of Jason asking Dick to be the Robin to his Batman in Battle for the Cowl.

Like I initially took it at the purely surface-level of Jason wanting a partner in the general sense. Which made sense, it's a huge responsibility and a lonely one so an assistant/sidekick/partner seems a no-brainer if you can get one.

But then I really thought about it, because Jason is not asking Dick to be his partner in the general sense; he's not even asking Dick to be his Nightwing. He's asking Dick to be his Robin.

And they both know exactly what Jason means: "Be the light to my darkness. Be the smile to my scowl. Be the hope to my fear. "

He's saying "Be 'Robin'; be the embodiment of Love and Justice and Goodness. Be the exceptional person that you have always been. Be the slightly-less exceptional person that I was when I wore your colors. Be the person that I was in the process of becoming and might have been (or might still be), if only Joker hadn't clipped my wings."

He's saying "I am prepared to become vengeance, become the Night. And I will go further than Bruce ever dared to, because it is what is needed. I will be the necessary evil. But you don't have to be. If Batman is Gotham's curse, Robin has always been its blessing. I will be the brutal punishment to our world, and I am asking you to be its incandescent gift."

He's saying, "Be for me, what we were for Him. Be my anchor, my comfort, my hope. Remind me what it's all for, why it's all worth it. And remind yourself as well."

He's saying "Be 'Robin' again--for both of our sakes."

5, 10, and 21 for Shepard and Ashley!

5. Do they argue often? If so, what do they argue about?

Lmao no he ain't arguing with Ashley goddamn Williams. Whatever you say goes, gorgeous.

I think the closest things to arguments would be mostly as seen in game; I prefer to imagine instead of a 3-way confrontation on the ship, Ashley brings up Liara to him during off-time on the Citadel.

During the Horizon mission, Raph is cold to her, and she has no way of knowing it's because he doesn't want Cerberus involving themselves in her life just to manipulate him.

10. Do they share any hobbies or interests? How do these things bring them together?

Not at first. Ashley strikes me as a former jock, and Raph was a nerd. But he does like listening, and their taste in literature and musical theatre overlap. They probably saw Elcor Hamlet together and talked about it for hours.

21. Do they enjoy domestic life?

Raph does, Ashley needs a bit more time. Raph retires immediately after the Reaper War, Ashley stays on with the Alliance. He'll be waiting, for as long as she needs.

my most underrated Kataang take is, I think, the inclusion of Katara's epiphany in The Fortune Teller at all. We've talked ourselves hoarse about how it's the clear turning point in how she consciously thinks of Aang (I will always mandate that she was just unknowingly down bad since the pilot because Look at her behaviour dear god) and how it's important that she has this epiphany even after knowing Aunt Wu's predictions 'aren't real' or necessarily set in stone.

What I want to talk about is why I think it's important that THIS is the moment she sees Aang in a new light amid his previous attempts to have her think of him 'differently' than she did at the beginning of the episode.

When Aang is being sweet to her (making her a woven accidental-betrothal necklace that she happily accepts), Katara is appreciative and responsive, but still says "he's just a good friend, a sweet little guy, just like Momo".

When Aang tries to flirt with her under Sokka's aloof guise, it falls flat. When he tries to get her attention in general (and when having parallels with Meng), it likewise doesn't work.

Finally, he tries the flower but it falls into the lava (symoblism, anyone?) and they have bigger things to deal with, like making sure the town isn't completely wiped out by the volcano. It's also worth noting that after Aang's conversation with Meng:

He never actively tries pursuing or wooing Katara in the same way. He's still kind towards and supportive toward her, of course. He, at some point (probably after the 2nd cheek or third cheek kiss) eventually starts to think (understandably) that Katara has feelings for him. But as of The Fortune Teller, he's stopped trying to have her see him in a new light or do a big romantic gesture.

And that's exactly when she does, consciously, fall for him.

Not when he's trying to woo her in failed, false personas, not when he's being his sweet romantic self, but when he's being the most himself all episode: Aang, "the bravest person [she] knows, who's done nothing but help people and save lives" since she met him (1x12).

He's not paying attention, he's not trying to impress her. He's just being a good, determined Avatar. A good, helpful person. A powerful bender, completely in control of himself and his element. Being himself.

Her Aang.
