bickering like a married couple - some silly arguments for your otp to get into
prompt list by @novelbear | requested: @generalfee
"move, you're on my side of the couch."
sneakily placing another dish next to their partner as they're finishing up with the dishes. then laughing through an apology as it naturally sets them off
arguing in the grocery store aisle because one wants normal oreos while the other wants to try one of the new, random flavors that just got released
"no, i'm not going to give you a bite because i know you're not gonna like it. then you're going to ask me how the hell i like it, and i don't want to listen to that right now."
"get up, you're snoring and i can't hear the movie." "then turn it up..." "so you can yell at me for waking you up? no!" "you woke me up anyway!"
"oh my god if you buy one more plush to occupy my spot on the bed i'm kicking you out to sleep on the couch."
if they have a pet, they might fight over whether or not they should let them climb on the furniture
getting annoyed when one sets an alarm which inevitably wakes the other up much earlier than they intended.
"uh-uh, no more reading before bed. you keep waking me up with your dramatic gasps every time you turn the page." "well, i'm sorry that i engage and connect deeply with literature!"
bickering over the right amount of toothpaste that should be put on the brush
^ or over one taking wayyy too long in the shower
"what's the point of the blanket being on the couch if it can't be used?" "it's for show!" "oh for the love of god-"
"take an extra jacket, it's cold out." "okay, mom."

‘When In Rome’ doesn’t seem all that important of an episode at first. But then you realize Xena basically commissioned Gabrielle to kill Crassus. It’s painful cause you know Gabrielle is a person that genuinely does appreciate human life and won’t kill just for the sake of it. If it can be avoided, she will avoid it. Yet, she’s forced to decide time and time again for what to do in the heat of the moment and the conclusion seems to always be for somebody to die. Whether it be herself, Xena or other, and sometimes even at her own hand. She said she accepted the consequences of living her life with Xena early in their travels together, but I don’t think she accounted for the fact she’d have to kill just to keep her and Xena alive. Or, like in the case of this episode, to save Vercinix, a good, innocent man and a hero to his people, from being executed at the order of Caesar. It wasn’t just about sacrificing her own life, it was also sacrificing and betraying everything she stood for so that her and Xena could survive. Season 4 was the storyline for this. Choosing pacifism because she believed it was the right Way for her, then breaking it again when Xena was left vulnerable and defenceless and she had no other option but to make that split-second decision to kill those soldiers that were going to kill her. It was inevitable the way she’d end up. Whether it is a good thing or not is up to you and how you perceive the situations that happen within the episodes. Your better judgement.
This is the life Gabrielle chose. To experience and face all the violence, blood and pain again and again, being just as much a partaker in it as trying to stop it from happening… Just to be with Xena. That’s got to be the most tragically romantic, beautiful and powerful thing I’ve ever known. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Xena and Gabrielle truly are the greatest love story ever told, and I’m not just saying it because they’re my OTP. I’ll be damned if I ever find anything more romantic than Gabrielle’s insistence to throw away her morality for Xena. She’s going against her own sense of self time and again just to protect and defend people’s lives. Especially Xena’s. It’s a testament to how much and how deeply she really loves her and that’s so incredibly romantic. Wouldn’t you agree?
This is another episode where no one really cares about the Xena/Caesar fued. This episode belongs to Gabrielle and her struggle to betray her ideals by personally sending Crassus to the executioner. Commissioned and expected to by Xena, no less.
She's the heart of the whole story here. It all wraps tightly around her.
Just like 'The Deliverer', without what's going on with Gabrielle, it's just another cat-and-mouse Xena VS Caesar game and even though I love the Rome episodes, they're not as interesting as you think they are without Gabrielle’s stuff. And as great as all the other writers are with Gabrielle’s representation and development, only Steven truly gets what Gabrielle’s about. Him and Renee really make this show resonate far beyond a villain-turned-hero seeking redemption story.
Without Gabrielle - this show is half its watch value. Well and truly.

Against my better judgement I am getting back on the canon Buddie train. It might never actually leave the station and in fairness it doesn't have to for me to love it as a fanon pair and still enjoy the show. But there's this crazy hope in my chest, because I can almost touch the bright, clear line from here to there.
Look, queer Eddie wouldn't, in real world terms, mean a romance with Buck is inevitable for him. But this is network tv and I'd be really surprised if we got two late game sexuality reveals for characters that make up two halves of a ship with so much hype around it only for the network to not take advantage of that. So while queer bestie endgame Buck and Eddie would be an amazing story in its own right, I think it follows that if we do get a coming out arc for Eddie, sooner or later he and Buck will act on the chemistry between them.
And all the pieces are in place for a queer Eddie arc! It's not a given. Really anything could happen at this stage. But Eddie acknowledging an attraction to men feels just so impossibly possible right now.
It's actually so mind blowing to have lived through the shift between queer fandom pairings being nothing but a joke to something like this being a genuine possibility. I came to fandom in a time where I would never even think to want it, and now I've seen more than one of my OTPs go canon. And so the thing is that as much as I'm rooting for Buddie in a personal way, what's most revolutionary to me about it is how it isn't really revolutionary any more. That's incredible! Even a few years ago I would never have imagined this. Hell, even a few years ago 911 had a network saying this was totally off limits, and now Buck has a boyfriend he kisses on prime time and the show is getting ratings out the wazoo. So, yeah, it would mean a lot to me if Buddie went canon, but hoping Buddie becomes canon isn't really the point. The point is that I live in a world where it's a realistic and even mainstream thing to hope for. The point is that I don't have to stake my entire identity on it. In a way that is easy, low stakes and simple fun, I can just hope.

I know it is tough when you have such a popular and large cast to give everyone screen time, and I certainly don't want to lose screen time for people I don't know as well, but I really do hope they find a way to work in more Ravi. What little we know about him is interesting, and he is a cutie.
It might be fun if Buck and Eddie get to a point where they know their feelings, but they haven't talked it out yet, and Ravi becomes an unintentional c#ck block. At the firehouse, it would be easy. He sits down at the table in between them at dinners. He interrupts their workouts with offers to spot or to ask for one. When he climbs in the engine he takes the spot Eddie would normally sit in. When they leave for the day, he calls Buck to ask random questions, like Buck is his personal Google. Ravi's doing all this so he can fit in more, but Eddie is beginning to wonder if Ravi has a thing for Buck instead which couldn't be further from Ravi's mind. He's super straight. (I mean the whole firehouse can't be gay, bi, etc. Well, maybe it could, but it would make hetero an outside group instead of another type of sexuality. I like to think of the show as something that brings everyone together, and makes us all root for love whatever form it takes.)
I use Buck and Eddie because they are my OTP, but I think Ravi could get more screen time with other characters too. Like he's met Karen at events thrown by the 118 and the two of them have become besties off-screen. Whenever they do anything random together, even a cup of coffee, they somehow end up in the middle of some crazy shenanigans. Or maybe Ravi and Josh could become besties. Sassy Josh is always fun. Or Ravi, Karen, and Josh get into trouble. Every time Ravi is not working the same shift as the others, he ends up with Karen and Josh. Trouble is inevitable. Athena thinks they need an intervention because the number of times she has had to find a way to get them out of lockup starts to become absurd.
Anyway, I think there is Ravi potential. I hope to see it.

WIP Wednesday
thank you so much for the tag, @theoneandonlysemla! 💖 I thought I'd join in on the WIP Wednesday train and share an excerpt from the in-progress ninth chapter of i fear no fate (for you are my fate), especially since said chapter made it to 1, 000 words yesterday! so, here's Miraak admiring his new manicure courtesy of Elentari:
Miraak blinks. He blinks once, twice, thrice. Then, so slowly he could still be wrapped up in the web of a dream, he turns his trembling hand over and over and over again, palm-back-palm-back in a blur of ink-stained fingertips and scarred, sun-starved skin. This time, his gaze is fixed, hunting for the tell-tale flicker of something that would break the spell and betray the illusion, because the part of him that has not yet escaped Apocrypha is certain that this must be one final trick of the mind from the Prince who’d sought to claim him forevermore. After all, he remembers it all too well, the way he’d once stood by and watched as those already half-maddened from decades lost pacing the same paths through Mora’s realm had exclaimed aloud and gripped a tome like a treasure, and the way their shouts of victory had sharpened to screams as the knowledge for which they’d damned themselves twisted before their scouring eyes. The way it must have felt almost like a relief after that, to give in to the inevitable. And still the sight before him refuses to alter. Still he remembers the warmth—the light—that had flooded him the moment his same-soul had granted him the sound of his truest name ringing from her lips like a golden bell hung in the very heart of her. His claws are gone. His claws are gone, and the woman whose healer’s touch had purged them from him— Elentari is still elsewhere, neither here with him nor lingering behind in their shared dream of his homeland. Her eyes are wide and unseeing, staring straight past him as though he truly has become the ghost the seer had foretold, and try as he might, he does not recognise the strange light within them. Her eyes are full of sunshine, he has always thought, sunshine on pine needles, on young spring leaves, on all the green growing things of the world—but they’re nothing like that now, not while they’re aglow with a sheen of unearthly silver like moonrays spilling into a forest pool.
and as a bonus, a very messy rough sketch WIP of my two silly dragons, because we all need to draw our OTP as a classic painting at least once:
now, I tag @bougainvillea-and-saltwater @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @bostoniangirl21 @madam-whim @pinessydr @lilarus and you, reader, if there's something you'd like to share, too! ✨
#miraak#miraak x ldb#tesblr#the elder scrolls#skyrim#wip wednesday#oc: elentari#i fear no fate (for you are my fate)#my formatting goofed so apologies if you were tagged twice!!#as for the chapter excerpt: I Wonder Where Elentari Is. I Wonder What She's Doing. I Wonder What Implications That Will Have. >:)

This drama is insane! I feel like I time traveled to 2015!!!!
The last time I saw ML whip the hell out of FL to save her by taking the brunt of the whipping force on himself was in Kevin Yan and Ruby Lin in Glamorous Imperial Concubine (which I need to rewatch - so delicious!!!) never thought I'd be lucky enough to see that again!
No other OTP of 2024 will be as unhinged as these two. There were no hinges in the first place.
My hormones cannot take it! Pls at least let them bang before the inevitable BE.

youre so right scarian is toxic im here to offer that it was toxic in 3rd life too cause it was and I'm tired of pretending its not (borderline abusive at times too)
so like obviously they killed each other and Scar had no problem with killing Grian but also there was an unhealthy power dynamic in play since episode one and by the time that Grian was free from having to serve Scar he was in too deep and had no choice but to stay with him
last time i spoke about toxic scarian i was told that it was "inevitable" and idk what that means but the unbalanced power dynamic could have totally been avoided so that person was yapping actually
Thank you! I forgot about 3rd life lol, yes, it was borderline abusive. I hate when people paint them as 'perfect'. As someone else pointed out to me, Scar was also bad. I agree, they're both bad for each other.
On the same subject, how about Flower Husbands? I love it and eat it all up, but Scott can be bad to Jimmy. Quite a bit, actually. Sure, he cares for him when he doesn't need to, but always puts him down.
On the other hand, ShinyDuo is my OTP. They're good with each other, they care, they barely ever argue. Murder Camel scenes were some of my favourites, and they were so wholesome. Just Pearl and Gem having fun together!
Oh well, I'm just ranting now, but thank you for your ask!

Can I get 17, 18, 19, 20, and 29 for Kunigiri and AiSen (Aiku x Sendou)
Hi Mr. Smithereens! You sure can. I'm happy to blab about Aikusen in particular! Such a good rarepair.
17. Who says I love you first?
Kunigami, in nearly every scenario. He's too honest to keep it to himself. Conversely, Chigiri's more guarded, so even if he falls in love first, he'd wait until he's certain before admitting his feelings so boldly.
With AikuSen, it's a drawn out process. Sendou would be too insecure to admit his feelings to someone he knows fools around casually, even where he and Aiku are dating exclusively. I personally headcanon Aiku as somewhat emotionally avoidant, and perhaps freaking out about feeling for Sendou on a deeper level. That said, I think Aiku would accept the risk of heartbreak and say I love you first.
18. Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?)
Let's be real, it's only ever Kunigami making lunches for the princess ❤️ I think he'd write corny jokes to make Chigiri laugh or roll his eyes. Puns in particular, since Chigiri likes wordplay. He probably Googles them specifically.
Aiku and Sendou don't strike me as big lunch makers, but Aiku would probably include notes of encouragement, like Knock 'em dead today, ace. Sendou reads them and cringes (but secretly enjoys them).
19. Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first? & 20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship?
Answering these together as they compliment one another!
Kunigami tells his family first, casually mentioning that he's dating Chigiri. Chigiri's mom and sister wrangle the news out of him after seeing him post a suspiciously couple-y photo with Kunigami on social media. Both families are supportive, particularly the sisters.
Literally none of Kunigiri's friends would be surprised. If anything, they're surprised it took this long to happen.
Aiku tells his family first, although he'd probably take his time to do so. I'm guessing they'd be pretty chill about it—his dad is Swedish-German and fairly liberal, as is his mom. Sendou would worry that his folks would respond negatively to him dating a man. To his surprise, that's not an issue so much as him dating a known cheater / womaniser. Aiku charms them though as soon as they meet him, and reassures them he's not going to hurt Sendou.
There's mixed responses from their friend group. The original U20 teammates would find it hilarious, given how much both of them emphasised dating women in their early careers. Anyone from their days in Ubers sees them getting together a mile off.
29. one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart
Kunigiri are overall so wholesome, there's little to report on this front! But the idea of Chigiri being the first (and maybe only) person Kunigami is willing to talk about Wild Card pulls on my heartstrings.
For AikuSen, what gets me is Sendou's inevitable meltdown when he realises he's started to catch feelings for Aiku. I headcanon Sendou doesn't have the self esteem to believe he has enough worth for Aiku to be exclusive with him. Internalised homophobia (or biphobia?) also packs a punch with these two.

I know you ship Mitsuri x Clones but do you have headcannons for the different pairings? Like I can see Mitsuri and Aizetsu bonding over cats while Sekido n her would bond more by sparing together.
I know I said I ship Mitsuri x Clones, but I only really ship her with Karaku qwq
Karaku x Mitsuri is one of my otp 🫶 💚🩷 so I haven’t really thought about how Mitsuri would get alone with Aizetsu, Urogi, or Sekido TvT
Here are some HCs I have for KaraMitsu-
─── ⋆⋅˚ʚ♡ɞ˚⋅⋆ ───
- When they inevitably clash due to their respective roles, their battle is more akin to a dance than a fight, with Mitsuri fluidly dodging Karaku's attacks while Karaku tests Mitsuri's limits with his playful yet dangerous maneuvers.
- Throughout the battle, they exchange banter and compliments, with Mitsuri praising Karaku's creativity and Karaku admiring Mitsuri's strength and determination.
- Despite their opposing sides, there's a mutual respect and understanding that grows between them as they fight, each recognizing qualities in the other that they admire.
- As they continue to encounter each other in subsequent battles, their interactions deepen beyond mere adversaries. Mitsuri's kindness and empathy start to break down Karaku's initial reluctance to trust humans.
- Karaku, intrigued by Mitsuri's unwavering dedication to protecting humanity despite her gentle nature, begins to question his own purpose as a demon.
- Over time, their relationship evolves into a deep friendship built on trust and mutual admiration. Karaku finds himself drawn to Mitsuri's warmth and sincerity, while Mitsuri sees glimpses of vulnerability and gentleness beneath Karaku's playful exterior.
- Their love story unfolds gradually, marked by moments of understanding, forgiveness, and shared laughter amidst the chaos of their respective worlds.
- It dawns on Mitsuri that her search for a man stronger than her wasn't just about physical prowess but about finding someone who complements her strengths and challenges her in ways that make her grow.
#Karaku x Mitsuri my beloveds#sorry that I don’t have too many headcanons prepared 😭#thanks for asking me about them!#i’m very passionate about them XD#demon slayer#kimetsu no yaiba#hantengu#hantengu clones#kny#Karaku#kny Karaku#kanroji mitsuri#Mitsuri kanroji#love x pleasure#please x love#karaku x mitsuri#Mitsuri x Karaku#karamitsu#ask#thank you for the ask#𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮•𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼

Yes <3 about reading Pricefield as romantic even if they don't kiss in episode 3. It upsets me how often people claim Bae can end platonic (just read an article that says this too) because with Max's feelings for Chloe existing regardless of your choice that is not gonna end platonic. "I'll always be with you" "Forever" was very romantically said you can hear it in their voices. Even if somehow they didn't know how they felt they would not spend their forever as platonic friends with feelings between them existing as we see in the game. I guess it bothers me so much because it feels... it feels like it's only because they're two girls. And that makes it harder for people to see and understand. If they were a man and a woman I don't think anyone would suggest it could end platonic but because they're two girls a lot of people along with not reading the journal don't pick up on what's right in front of them
I can accept that some people just don't ship Max and Chloe. Shipping is very much a matter of opinion, and if a ship doesn't click then it just doesn't click. HOWEVER, it does drive me crazy when people insist that Max and Chloe are purely platonic and everyone is reading to much into it.
Let's pretend for a minute that Max is a man and Chloe is a women. The first time Male Max saved Chloe from being shot in the bathroom, everyone would be going "Oh! OTP!!! End game! It's all going to led up to them kissing! It's inevitable!!" Like...Male Max wouldn't even need to keep saving Chloe after that for people to be like "His devotion to her is insane!" All it would take to prove his love would be that one act.
More Undercut
Male Max wouldn't have to keep proving his love because his love is assumed. Female Max breaks time itself and lets a tornado wipe out a town for Chloe, and that's still not deemed to be enough.
There are some people in the world can see two women have a canon kiss and love confession and they'll say "WELL. That doesn't mean they aren't straight. They just love their bestie a lot." Yet, a man and women can make eye contact for two seconds and that will validate them becoming canon.
It doesn't matter if they have chemistry, or love, or if they treat each other poorly, as long as they're man and women love will always be assumed to be there. Meanwhile, it doesn't matter if two women have chemistry, or a scene where they longingly kiss in the rain, or end the world in each other's names, their love will always be called to be proven, despite the fact that the people who call have every intention of deeming every piece of evidence inadmissible. For they can accept that a women wouldn't love at all, but they can never accept that a women wouldn't love a man.
So, yeah, I do agree with you that the denial of the bay ending feels like it's mostly because they're two girls. I think if Max were a man and Chloe was a women or vice versa, the bae ending would be universally regarded as romantic. Which...makes me sad on multiple levels. (Side Note: The people who didn't read the journal and then try to police the people who did also drive me nuts. But I went on a tangent about male/female vs WLW relationships so I forgot to address that. Oops. But yeah it is partially because they haven't read the journals. But then again if Max were a man I don't think they'd need to.)

Now Streaming: Game of Life - Sakura
A/N: I guess Ghost and I are really expanding our tastes to other groups and idols. Lol
~~~~~
Sakura doesn’t understand love.
Or more specifically, romantic love.
Working at a manga café, Sakura has been exposed to every kind of manga there is. Among them, romance takes the cake for the most liked genre of all time. She always hears teens gushing over a certain couple and how “sweet” they are. Even in action or horror manga, she can always hear people talking about how these characters are “OTP”, and they are “sailing the ship”.
Sakura doesn’t get it.
She tries to understand it by reading about it a lot, both manga and novels. But she just can’t bring herself to imagine what love feels like. Is it a deeply passionate kiss? Is it a candle-lit dinner at a fancy restaurant? A public confession or proposal? The nervous feeling of ‘butterfly in stomach’ or the giddiness of being close to the ‘crush?’
When she asks other people, most, if not all of them give her answers that are basically the same as in the manga and light novels she read.
‘The feeling of wanting to be with someone, despite their flaws.’
‘The attractiveness they feel towards their loved one.’
‘Wanting to keep all of them to yourself and not sharing them to anyone.’
It’s not like Sakura has never felt loved. Her family loves her. Her mom, her dad, her younger brother. They love her unconditionally and would be willing to do anything for her. And she would do the same for them. After all, she loves them as much as they love her. Although, familial love and romantic love are two different kinds of love. So back to square one.
In one of the vain attempts in understanding love, Sakura tried dating apps. Though she quickly finds it boring. Most people are either too flirty, saying that they can give her a hell of a time later (aka, trying to get into her pants) or aren’t even confident enough to hold a proper conversation with her. Needless to say, she has never gone on a second date with anyone.
Though, there’s another kind of love that she understands, one that most of her friends don’t even start to comprehend. Video games. Sakura can be categorized as the rare specimen known as a gamer girl. She plays a lot of games, from action, to horror, to multiplayer, she’s played it all.
She doesn’t understand why her friends don’t play them. They are fun, entertaining, and sometimes, wholesome or heart wrenching. Though Sakura usually focus on more multiplayer games. She likes to interact with other people when they are focused in the game, and not in trying to flirt with her. After all, playing games is how she got to meet her best friend, after all.
Anyways, no matter how much effort Sakura put in, she still can’t understand that kind of love that she hears her peers love to talk about, so she just gives up on understanding it. Why waste time on something that she can’t figure out? It’s not like she needs it to live anyways.
Not when she has video games.
-----
Today was supposed to be a chilly day for Sakura.
It’s the weekend, her day off, and she decides to spend time at the PC bang, playing games to her heart’s content.
All is well, until a certain guy starts to bother her again…
“Hi Sakura.”
The receptionist greets Sakura warmly. Since Sakura is a regular customer at this place, it’s inevitable that almost all employees recognize her. And as the receptionist of the PC bang, he obviously knows Sakura very well.
Politely, Sakura offers him a smile back and heads to an empty PC, doing her prep of checking the headphone, mouse and keyboard to make sure everything is ok.
As she boots up the PC, excitedly thinking about what games to play today, a less than favorable voice appears from behind her seat.
“Haven’t you seen you here for a while Sakura. I was sad thinking that you won’t be coming here anymore. But seeing you here is great! It seems like you still miss me huh?”
As soon as Sakura hears his voice, she automatically tunes out his words, and opens a music tab to drown out the ‘noise’.
That plan doesn’t last long though, as her headphones is promptly yanked off her ears, the man who’s been yapping away is now facing her, his expression less than happy.
“Hey, I’m giving you my precious attention, why are you ignoring me?” The man then raises an eyebrow, his lips curving into a smirk “Oh I see, playing hard to get huh? It’s ok, I know how hot I am, hehe~”
Now, Sakura doesn’t understand the concept of love and crush and whatnot, but she isn’t oblivious enough to not recognize that this guy is trying to chase her and has been for a while now. His insufferable attitude causing most, if not everyone, employees include, to have a less the favorable view on him. However, since he doesn’t break the rules, they don’t have a reason to chase him out.
“Who said I want your attention?” Sakura rolls her eyes, taking her headphones back. “I just want to play games, so please go away.” She turns back to her screen, promptly ignoring him.
“Hah, games? Girl you are talking to one of the best gamers at this place, I will carry you in any games you want, as long as…” he wiggles his eyebrows “you accept to be my girlfriend~”
Sakura doesn’t even need to take off her headphones to hear the sigh of everyone in the vicinity. Ever since she caught his eyes, he’s been flirting nonstop, and it’s driving her insane.
What do I do now? Sakura groans, her fingers pinching the bridge of her nose. How do I get this guy off me?
“Come on, don’t be shy, I know you want to be my girlfriend, you’re just playing hard to get.” The man continues “No one can resist my charm~”
Amidst his yapping, Sakura suddenly thinks of someone. Her best friend. If it’s him, it should be fine, right? Sakura thinks to herself.
“I’m waiting for your answer~” With her patience at the boiling point, she turns to the man suddenly. “Sorry but I already have a boyfriend, so please don’t bother me anymore.”
Her answer instantly stuns the man…alongside the employees and other regular customers who know Sakura.
“You…you have a boyfriend?” The man stutters, not believing in his ears.
“Yeah, it’s Lunar, the streamer.” She fearlessly announces her friend’s online alias. Her fingers seamlessly search his streaming channel to see that he is also coincidentally streaming right now.
“You’re bullshitting me. There’s no way your friends with the Lunar, not to mention dating him!” The man voices his disbelief, and for good reasons of course. Lunar might not be a big-time streamer, but he is still pretty popular, due to his good looks, charming personality, and insane gaming skills.
“Don’t believe me?” Sakura asks with a grin, to which the man shakes his head profusely. “If he’s a streamer, why doesn’t he come here to play?”
“Are you stupid? His set up at home is better than most pc bang, why should he come here?”
His stupid question earns some snickers from nearby customers, but he has yet to give up. “I still don’t believe that you know Lunar.”
Snickering, Sakura takes out her phone and dials a number. Mere moments later, Lunar can be seen grabbing his phone on stream and talking the call with his shoulder holding the phone to his ears, pushing his right earphone to behind his ear. His eyes are still trained on the screen with his fingers tapping rapidly.
“Annyeong, Kkura?”
Everyone gasps the moment they hear his voice, fully not expecting her to actually know him.
“Annyeong Lunar, what are you doing?” Sakura replies cheerfully. “Uh, streaming Elden Ring, what’s up?” His constant typing can be heard through the call.
“Nothing, just feel like calling you.” She smiles mischievously, although Lunar doesn’t know that.
“Oh ok- YAH, STOP SPAMMING THAT SKILL! I’ll call you back later. Kind of busy right now.”
Sakura bursts out in fits of giggles as she glances at the screen, seeing Lunar constantly dodging Malenia’s infamous attack while still in an awkward position with his shoulder propping his phone.
“Okie, see you later Lunar.” Sakura hangs up the call, turning to look at the man. “Questions?” she asks in a sassy tone.
The guy can only stay silent, then goes away.
Sakura finally lets out a sigh, leaning back against her chair, before someone else approaches her.
“So, you really know Lunar?” an employee asks her.
Sakura can’t help but chuckle at how the employee’s eyes just glow when she confirms it.
Glancing back at the screen, she sees Lunar finally giving his attention to the game again, focusing on beating the boss.
How ironic, that the first time they met in a game, they yelled at each other almost every time they met. And now, he becomes her best friend, her confidant, when she wants to share things that she is too embarrassed to share with her parents.
She then thinks back to the declaration that she made just now, about him being her boyfriend.
It’s not like he’ll ever go here anyways, Sakura shrugs. What’s the harm?
----
True enough, Lunar never really visits the PC bang. Until today.
It’s been a few months since that particular incident. Things have gotten better than before.
That man annoys her less than before, seemingly not believing her lie, but still a bit cautious about it. Which Sakura doesn’t particularly care about, as long as he leaves her alone while she is at the PC bang.
Surprisingly enough, most people don’t bother her about questions relating to Lunar. Is it because they are afraid of him? Or is it because they are polite enough to not ask questions, unlike a certain guy? In any case, Sakura is glad she doesn’t have to deal with it anymore.
Well, until today.
Lunar’s parents seem to be visiting him. They nag so much about him sitting in one place and not doing anything else. He does protest that he works out a lot, but it has fallen onto deaf ears. This results in Lunar not being able to play or stream games with his usual schedule.
So, how else does he play games without being nagged by his parents? PC bang, of course.
He casually asks Sakura about her most frequent place. And like any good friend, Sakura first teases him about the fact that he must go to the PC bang to play games despite having a set up at home, then she tells him about her usual place, completely forgetting the lie she made a few months ago.
It isn’t until they meet up together, and walk to the PC bang, that Sakura suddenly realizes what she has just gotten herself into. The realization hits so hard, she stops mid-step, completely still like a statue, causing Lunar to notice it as well.
“What’s wrong?” He turns his head to her, tilting it slightly. “N-nothing! I just remembered that I forgot to do something.” Sakura tries to find a way to stop Lunar from going to the PC bang. “Should we take a raincheck?”
Immediately she could see a light pout on his face. “I’m only free today, Kkura.”
“O-oh…”
“I’ll just go alone then, you go do your stuff, Kkura.” Lunar shrugs, start heading towards the PC bang. “W-wait!” She catches up to him.
“Hmm?”
“I can just do it tomorrow. It’s not that urgent anyways.” Sakura plays it off. “Are you sure?” Lunar raises an eyebrow, looking at her. “Yeah! Besides, it’s been a while since we play games together, no?”
“Mhmm, it’s really been a while.” Sakura’s attempt to divert the topic seems to be successful, as they both head off to the PC bang again.
With no way to persuade Lunar, Sakura decides that it’s better to do damage control instead of letting him go there alone and let things potentially go even worse.
Arriving at the place, things happen almost like how she imagined it would be.
Employees greet her and recognize the youth besides her.
A few customers recognizing Lunar and start to fanboy/girl.
A certain guy who smiles when he saw her, only to be fuming with anger at the sight of Lunar. Sakura tries so hard not to let out a smirk at the sight.
“So, you finally decide to bring your boyfriend here huh?” An employee teases her, causing her breath to hitch slightly as she glances up to Lunar’s face. (As much as she hates to admit it, Lunar is one head taller than her, a fact that he’s been polite enough to not mention, but one that still makes her feel unfair.)
Instead of a confused expression like how she predicts, Lunar keeps a calm face as his eyes seem to scan around the room, taking in every bit of hints that he can get from other people before he flashes his iconic ‘streamer smile’, putting his arm over Sakura’s shoulder.
“Well, I’ve been quite busy recently, so I have not been able to follow Kkura to her usual place.” His words shocked her greatly. Out of all the things she guesses he would do, playing alone was not one of them.
Lunar seems to not notice her expression, as he expertly socializes with the employees and other customers before asking for a VIP room for the both of them, then leads her to it.
“Is there anything that I need to know, my girlfriend?” Lunar teases her right after they enter the room. “I don’t remember asking you out, you know.” Instead of being angry to confused about this, Lunar seems to be…relaxed? Sakura can’t really tell.
Nonetheless, Sakura still tells him the full story with the other guy, and how she uses Lunar as a shield against him.
“That explains his gaze from earlier…” He muses to himself.
“I’ll go clarify with the others later, don’t worry.” Sakura feels quite guilty about pulling her friend into her business but was cut off midway by Lunar. “Why?” He asks her quizzically.
“Uh…because we aren’t really dating, and I just use you to deter the guy?” Sakura is now truly confused. “Don’t bother, I don’t particularly care.” Lunar shrugs “As long as it keeps you safe, I can play your boyfriend.”
“Jinjja?” Sakura’s round eyes stare at his side profile, while Lunar is just booting up their PCs.
“Yeah, why not?” He glances back at her. “I’m not dating, and you need protection, so I’ll gladly provide that.” He shrugs.
Sakura only stares at Lunar for a long while, before saying: “Have anyone told you you’re handsome?” Bursting out laughing, Lunar clutches his stomach lightly. “Yeah, my fans.”
His answer earns him an elbow to the ribs. Gently.
“Ow-” Lunar rubs his ribs. “Let’s play some games!” Sakura pointedly ignores it, rushing him to play games with her.
For the first time in a while, Sakura really, really doesn’t enjoy her time playing games. It could have been that because she was too worried about the other guy, she couldn’t focus 100% on her games. Or maybe it’s because Lunar is here today with her. Who knows? Sakura doesn’t.
But she doesn’t care either. She manages to resolve the gnawing issue that is the other guy following her, and she can enjoy games with her best friend. And that’s all she asks for.
----
“Hey Kkura, I need my girlfriend’s help.”
“Huh????”
----
“So, this is what you meant by, ‘needing your girlfriend’…” Sakura murmurs, standing in front of a restaurant.
“Yeah, my parents have been nagging at me to find someone, and I don’t exactly have someone else to help me with this….” Lunar scratches his head sheepishly.
“It’s ok, I got the gist of it already. Besides, you agreed to play my boyfriend, so it’s time I return the favor.” Sakura lets out a giggle, patting his shoulder, before wrapping her arm around his. “Now lead the way, boyfriend~”
“Also, one more thing.” Lunar says, “Don’t call me ‘Lunar’ in front of my parents.”
“Then what am I supposed to call you?” Sakura raises an eyebrow. Throughout the time she knows him, she has always been calling him by his nickname ‘Lunar’.
“My real name, of course.” He rolls his eyes.
“Alright then, Hyunwoo~” Sakura deliberately calls him in a cutesy voice, causing him to shiver visibly.
“Ugh, let’s get this over with….” Lunar, or Hyunwoo, leads Sakura inside the restaurant, where they proceed to meet with his parents. Little did they know, their lunch might have gone a bit…. Too well.
A few hours later….
“Your parents were a bit too excited, weren’t they?” Both are currently at the PC bang after their lunch.
“Yeah, it’s the first time I ever introduced someone to them, so they overreacted.” Lunar lets out a sigh. “Don’t worry, they’ll go back home next week, so you don’t have to worry about them for long.”
At his word, Sakura turns to stare at him, ignoring the fact that she is letting her character be shot to death. “Aish, what are you doing Kkura-” Lunar complains while trying to save her character, only to be asked a question instead.
“You’ve never dated anyone?” Sakura asks curiously.
“Hmm? Why are you asking that?” Lunar now glances at her face instead of the screen, letting both of their characters die in-game.
“I don’t know, I just felt like you’ve good a pretty good grasp on being a boyfriend.” Sakura muses, thinking back to the lunch date. Despite what his parents say about him, never introducing anyone to them, Lunar, or rather, Hyunwoo displays most, if not all the points of what a perfect boyfriend would be like.
Attentive, respectful, charming, keeping his parents from asking something that might be sensitive while managing to not let the atmosphere become tense, all around an almost perfect boyfriend.
“Me not introducing anyone to my parents doesn’t mean that I’ve never dated, Kkura.” Hyunwoo lets out a small chuckle. “I’ve dated a few people, but it just didn’t end up well.”
“Why?” Sakura is genuinely curious, just by interacting with him one can see how gentle and kind he is.
“Well, let’s just say I couldn’t keep up with them, so we fall out of touch.” Hyunwoo lets out a self-deprecating laugh.
“Anyways, should we start over the heist?” Hyunwoo points back to the screen. Sakura wants to say something, but she ends up swallowing it back as she smiles at him. “Yeah, let’s start over.”
----
It’s been a few months since then.
Sakura and Hyunwoo still pact as each other’s boyfriend/girlfriend when they need to. Having Hyunwoo act as her ‘boyfriend’ whenever someone tries to flirt with her eases her up a lot. It’s nice to have a shield.
On the other hand, Sakura agrees to act as his ‘girlfriend’ whenever his parents video calls him. Watching them nagging at him for various stuffs, while doting on her greatly is a great contrast, especially to see him pouting whenever that happens.
Unbeknownst to them, whatever slight awkwardness they might have between them has faded, as they become increasingly familiar with each other’s habits. Hyunwoo always seems to avoid anything red bean paste related snacks when they go out, knows how to act accordingly whenever a guy comes up to her, and even automatically grabs her hand while at crowded places to not lose her.
Even in-game, Hyunwoo seems to pick up on her little quirks and acts according to it, allowing her to have a great time playing games whenever she’s with him.
Sakura, in her own way, learns more about Hyunwoo in ways she’s never known. How he acts while streaming compared to how he is in real life, although the changes are miniscule and not worth paying attention to, Sakura did. She learns of his self-discipline by going to the gym every day, without missing a day off. She notices how he tends to scrunch up his nose whenever he’s in deep thought.
Despite how much they have progressed, they still regard themselves as nothing more than best friends. Sakura once joked that they are “friends with benefits” to the amusement of Hyunwoo. They do have benefits being friends, just not how people would expect.
.
.
.
“Your boyfriend really is something huh?”
One of Sakura’s coworker comments randomly, catching her off guard.
“Who?” She asks confusedly.
“Your boyfriend Lunar? The streamer?” her coworker points to Hyunwoo who is helping with loading the boxes of manga at her workplace.
“And?” Sakura is too busy with her own work to reply.
“How did a bum who has never dated someone like you manage to snatch such a fine guy?” Her coworker sighs disappointed. “He’s literally the perfect boyfriend described in almost every romance manga ever, and a bum like you snatched him away first.”
“I told you many times, already, we aren’t dating.” Sakura seems annoyed at this point.
“Yet he comes here in his free time to help you, he always brings you latte, he does whatever you ask for, and on top of that, he does free advertising for us on his stream! Do you know how much people would pay for him to advertise something?”
“He’s just being kind.” Sakura shrugs. “Mhmm, keep telling yourself that, hun.” Her coworker rolls her eyes, before a naughty glint appears in her eyes.
“Say, you said that you guys aren’t dating, right?”
“Yeah, and?”
“Can I date him, then?” Upon hearing that, Sakura immediately glares at her coworker before yelling “No!”
“Heh, and you say you guys aren’t dating.” Her coworker snickers, walking off, leaving only Sakura at the reception.
Sakura, meanwhile, was shocked at her own action.
Did she just get angry at the thought of Hyunwoo dating someone? She thinks to herself, then glances at him.
She never realized how dependent she was on him. How she smiles lightly whenever she receives his messages. How much more natural she is as playing his ‘girlfriend’ in front of his parents. How she wipes the sweat off his forehead like it’s just a natural thing for her. How their hands automatically intertwined with each other when they went out together. How she sometimes misses his warm hugs late at night.
Hyunwoo isn’t just a friend to her anymore. Sakura has a revelation to herself. She still doesn’t feel romantically interested in him, but she is sure that she can’t just view him as her best friend any longer.
But…If they aren’t best friends, what are they?
----
“Hyunwoo?”
“Yeah?”
“How long have we been doing this couple act?”
Currently, Sakura is just laying on Hyunwoo’s bed, as she watches him mindlessly fight a random boss in Elden Ring.
“Uh…. Close to a year now.” Hyunwoo answers absentmindedly. “Why are you asking?”
“Nothing, just, thinking about stuffs…” Sakura answers, staring up at the ceiling for a while. “Should we stop?” Hyunwoo freezes at her question. “Huh?” he turns around on his chair to look at her, controller thrown onto the table. “Why?” He asks.
“Well, it’s just been going on for long enough, I think.” She raises her head to look at him, then proceeds to sit up on his bed with her legs crossed. “Don’t you think so?”
She watches as Hyunwoo falls into contemplation, his nose scrunching up as usual as he leans back onto his gaming chair, his feet tapping lightly against the ground as his eyes wander to whatever seems to catch his interest.
The silence stays for a while, each second seems heavier than the next as Sakura eyes Hyunwoo intently, until he finally looks back at her with an unreadable expression on his face.
“What if I don’t want it to end?” Hyunwoo stands up and moves to the bed, sitting down next to Sakura, but still facing her. “It doesn’t matter that it was an act at the beginning because it benefits us, it means something now, at least to me.” He looks straight into her eyes. “I might not understand what romance feel like, but this, what we have right now.” He points to her, then to himself. “I don’t want to lose it.”
Hyunwoo has no idea when it happened, or how it happened, but he knows one thing for sure that he doesn’t want anyone else besides Sakura. And it is the same for her.
Hyunwoo becomes the novel’s definition of how a loving partner should be, and Sakura has no idea when it happened. Sakura might not still understand what romance is, but what they have here, commitment and care, is a form of love between them, and Sakura refuses to abandon it.
That’s why she pounces at him, shoving him down on the bed while she’s straddling him, giggling. “I was just kidding~” Hyunwoo is dumbfounded. “You were?”
“I just wanted to confirm to myself if you feel what I feel as well.” Hyunwoo starts to sit up, his face so very close to hers as she sits in his lap instead of straddling him. “So…what are we then?” Hyunwoo asks her, chuckling. She joins him as well.
“We are whatever we want to be.” Sakura answers. “Best friends, boyfriend and girlfriend, partners, anything.” Sakura’s arms wrap around his neck. “But you’re mine.”
His eyes soften at her words, his arms wrap around her waist.
“Always.”

You know, I thought we were done with the ageism in fandom thinking that its purely for teenagers? Because it doesn't help anyone to have the attitude of this (now blocked) anon. People don't stop having passions and being fans of things just because they get older. Fandoms thrive BECAUSE older people put in the effort to MAKE them thrive. Do you really think that 100k word perfectly written epic fanfic that you adore so much was written by a 16 year old? Because I guarantee it was more likely to be written by a 35 year old mother of 2.
That amazing cosplay of your fave character you saw at a recent comic con that took phenomenal skill and probably a good deal of expense to look perfect wasn't put together by a 17 year old high schooler, it was perfected through years of passion into a hobby that more than likely required a full time job and a savings account to afford.
That amazing fanartist who has the BEST art of your OTP that captures their likeness in a really gorgeous style? They weren't born with that talent. It takes years to develop a personal art style, and capturing a persons likeness in art is a skill that has to be nurtured. The best artists are the ones who've had years to develop their skills. They aren't school kids. I have had mutuals on this site for a decade now and I have seen how much their art has improved and become absolutely beloved. These are people who at their youngest are in their late 20s now. Most of my mutuals are in their 30s, some of the best fanfiction writers I know are in their 40s and 50s. The meta writers I know are also in my age group. Hell, do you think teenagers run AO3? You'll be surprised just how many "old people" make the best fanworks. If you removed them from fandom spaces, I guarantee you would remove most of the talent, because no offence to you kids, but that talent is something that is nurtured over time, and time and aging go hand in hand i'm afraid.
The people who make fandoms what it is, the ones running events, pouring themselves into analytical posts, providing the best fanart, coming up with the amusing memes and textposts that go viral? Do you REALLY think they are all school kids? Fandoms are made up of PEOPLE, and newsflash assholes, people AGE.
This attitude always amazes me. There isn't an age limit in fandom. This isn't fucking Logan's Run (bet you the kids won't understand that reference) and honestly if these kids genuinely think they need to give it up and quit at a certain point in their future I just pity them.
Fandom thrives because of the older people that have nurtured it for years and carved out a space where younger people can enter in comfort and safety. Which are only possible BECAUSE older people built online fandoms and continued to put in the work to keep them going. If we all had to stop caring and leave fandom at some specific cut off date, the fandom landscape would be a vastly different space - and probably a lot worse for being predominantly run by hormonal teenagers - heh, I guess it would be a lot more like TikTok and we all know how dreadful TikTok has been for fandom so far. If nothing else that alone proves my point.
At the end of the day, no one can stop the passing of time. Even the horrible children who send adults nasty anons. Eventually, they will be the "fandom elders" and receiving their own anon hate from a future generation of brats, I personally can't wait to be the very old lady laughing at them when that day inevitably comes.

PROPAGANDA
Kida/Milo
Milo/Kida isn't my OTP for this fandom, and there's not much to go on anyway (what little we see of them as an official couple is in the "sequel" and they're both so OOC (especially Milo) in that, so I don't count it) But what we do see of them in the original, Kida kicks ASS. She singlehandedly takes out three big dudes with guns using only her hands and feet, and even nails one in the groin. Milo....isn't much in the fight we see, but he's also up against a guy four times his size with years of combat training and experience. But Milo's not really the brawling type anyway. He's adorable and sweet and doesn't want to hurt anyone. He'd rather read a book or infodump about whatever dead language or ancient culture he's currently into. (By @systemadministratorclu )
Cleo & Etho:
"Canonical relationship" is a little complicated because they became ex-spouses in Limited Life without ever having been spouses. They had a messy divorce (they were never married) and Cleo kept the kids. HOWEVER in Secret Life they became allies again and were ride-or-die up until Etho was killed by their son Scar. At which point Cleo turned to their other ally Grian and just went "okay, so theyve chosen death." Everyone on the server is scared of Cleo, she loves fire and has a sharp tongue and takes no shit. Etho, by contrast, is an easygoing wet cat of a man who spends the last half of Limited Life moping about how he's washed up. (they are BOTH murderers, but everybody on the server is a murderer.) in Secret Life he spent most of the time that he wasn't working on his secret tasks working on their base, while Cleo's spare time was spent preparing for the inevitable bloodbath and surviving a zombie apocalypse (which Etho did Not survive.)

turtely's OTP challenge!
read day 28 "Falling For Love (a 221b)" on ao3!
(prompt: falling in love)
summary: Sherlock philosophises what 'falling in love' means to him.
T, 221w, Fluff and Angst. Sherlock Holmes Loves John Watson, Sherlock Holmes Thinking, Episode: s02e03 The Reichenbach Fall
or read it on tumblr!
TW: REICHENBACHFALL
it is mostly fluff but has a dark twist. i hate spoiling my stories, but trigger warnings like this are so so so important.
♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡
I never understood what 'falling in love' was supposed to mean. The only person I ever truly loved was John Watson.
That’s the thing though, I have just loved John Watson. There wasn’t any sort of… falling… where would I fall from anyway? It is a ridiculous expression. There never was a harsh landing on the process of loving John.
If we must take use of metaphors, I would say that I always have loved John fatefully, steadily, like water. Like a lake, at times like the ocean even. Of course, sometimes the water is rough but most of the time it is… present. It is wide, it is deep, it is inviting, and yet frightening. The fascination and pull some people feel from the water – that’s what I feel for John.
The love I feel for Mrs. Hudson, for Lestrade, for Molly, for Mycroft even, that had been hard-earned. I wouldn’t admit it. Not with words. However my love for these people is unsteady. Sometimes I can’t stand any of them, like the water – the river – was too demanding, too winding.
When I stood up there, with Moriarty, him explaining his genius plan, pushing me into a quandary, I was forced to drown myself. But at least not drain all water.
By falling for love. Off the roof of Bart’s.
