Life or Death

Hey, people. I know I was pretty inactive recently (yet again) but that's what work does to you - tiredness becomes one of your constant companions. Nevertheless, once I saw a BlitzbeeWeek2023 announcement, I just knew that I had to participate in it because it's one of my favorite OTPs.

So, without further ado, this's my first work for the event! Like couple of other pictures along the road (ideally I plan to upload on a daily basis, haha), the scene you see here is taken from my fanfic called TFA: Icarus (or from my AU, so to speak). You can check the teaser and soon to be updates on a main work [here] if you feel like it. An image of this interaction was born in my head a while ago, but I thought that uploading it now would be a more productive thing to do prior I change my mind and let it rot in my sketches folder XD.

All in all, thank you, admin of @blitzbee-week, for making this event, I hope to see plenty of other mutual fans of this ship gathering this week to show our love for Blitzwing and Bumblebee.

SHIPPING INFO. answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

what’s your otp for your muse(s)?

i have so many muses so just running through some of the top ships-- penelope/odysseus, nico/will, effie/haymitch, celeborn/galadriel, meg/christine/raoul, achilles/patroclus, neoptolemus/telemachus, inej/kaz, viktor/jace, carlisle/esme, annabeth/reyna idkcmsdlkc

what are you willing to rp when it comes to shipping?

i'd say mostly anything, i'm not opposed to writing smut and stuff like that. the only thing i won't rp is toxic/abusive ships, i'm not interested in those. i'd say i'm a pretty chill writing partner otherwise.

how large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

anything that falls into the age range of student/teacher or stuff like that is a no for me.

are you selective when shipping?

not really. i'd like there to be chemistry obviously but i'm always open to discussing ships with people.

how far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered nsfw?

once clothes come off and/or certain body parts are having.... reactions to what's going on, then i consider it nsfw.

who are other muses you ship your muse with?

some current non-canon ships that i have going that i really love rn are edwina/larys, cecil/lou, cecil/lou/pollux, shmi/obi-wan, penelope/icarus, effie/haymitch

does one have to ask to ship with you?

depends. do you need to ask to send a shippy ask or meme if we haven't written them as a ship together? no, go for it! do you need to ask if we write a canon couple? no, i ship most canon couples. if it's not the vibe for me, it's not a big deal. i prefer to talk about ships but i definitely don't mind people sending a meme or something

how often do you like to ship?

always. i really enjoy shipping and forming those dynamics, so always.

are you multiship?

absolutely yea

are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

listen, i love writing ships. come ship with me.

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

@ga1adriel has made me absolutely feral for celeborn/galadriel so i'm gonna say celeborn/galadriel

finally, how does one ship with you?

message me, send a meme, literally anything. i'm always up for shipping-- if you have an idea of characters we could ship, just send me their names in an ask or message. i swear i'm easy to talk to, i'm just slow.

Even though Luke doesn’t cheat on Trouble, I listen to Burn from Hamilton and imagine these two post tlt bc yes i like the pain,, no i don’t need therapy, officer 😀

girl the way this is probably canon anyway bc in the trouble!verse luke is a Hamilton Hater ™ and trouble was known to be singing songs from the musical with her ex-bf

im DYINGGGG but damn if you go to therapy hop in we can carpool

sidenote there's still a lot that can relate in the lyrics and im bored rn so lets feed into the delusion for a bit (guys I'm a fic writer who peaked in the 2010s in the age of bad youtube fan recreations of songs to fit their otps... i know how to work with scraps)

She said, "Be careful with that one, love , "He will do what it takes to survive" // You and your words flooded my senses, Your sentences left me defenseless, You built me palaces out of paragraphs, You built cathedrals // I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me, I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line, For some kind of sign, And when you were mine // The world seemed to burn, Burn

Mr. D warned her from the beginning about Luke, even silently in 'play pretend' because she was becoming more like her old self (reckless and crazy, just like him) when she was falling in love with Luke, and it isn't a bad thing but definitely takes away fro what her and Luke have been working at as THE counselors of CHB. Luke's always been good with words as a son of Hermes to the point that it even fools Trouble to some extent, there comes a point where her as an amazing actress can't tell when he's lying---and he learned that from her...

You published the letters she wrote you, You told the whole world, How you brought this girl into our bed, In clearing your name, You have ruined our lives // Do you know what Angelica said, When she read what you'd done?, She said, "You've married an Icarus, "He has flown too close to the sun" // You and your words obsessed with your legacy, Your sentences border on senseless, And you are paranoid in every paragraph, How they perceive you, You, you, you!

this made me giggle OKAY HEAR ME OUT LMFAOOOO ever since they got together (in the span of a little over a year before his betrayal), they always sleep in the same bed when they can as mentioned in 'now that we're older' because they barely have time to themselves in the day....when 'when the chaos is through' is posted, that's when Luke agrees to side with Kronos in his ultimate belief to protect Trouble from impending war and eventually give her a better life outside of CHB. (imagine kronos dressed as eliza schuyler and we're set because luke essentially brings him to bed with them for half of their relationship and she doesn't know LMFAOOOOO) and well yeah yall know his decline after TLT but he's in too deep to fall back

I'm erasing myself from the narrative, Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted, When you broke her heart, You have torn it all apart // I'm watching it burn, Watching it burn, The world has no right to my heart, The world has no place in our bed, They don't get to know what I said, I'm burning the memories, Burning the letters that might have redeemed you // You forfeit all rights to my heart, You forfeit the place in our bed, You'll sleep in your office instead, With only the memories of when you were mine //I hope that you burn

The beginning part reminds me of the confrontation scene in 'love is a blister' where the counselors put Trouble on trial for loving Luke---the reality of it is they and everyone at camp only know what Luke & Trouble have shown them, but everything between them is private and their own. They didn't expect him to leave her behind. There are a lot of references throughout the series and especially in 'solipsism' where his last time alive as his waning sense of self he goes to visit Trouble who's fresh from visiting Annie in 'love is a blister' and he literally is burning through his old self as kronos overtakes his body. He couldn't imagine not being able to say goodbye before becoming true vessel and well in TLO, teeeechnically what happens and what i plan to write i--[GUNSHOTS]

me saying scraps and then copy pasting almost the whole damn song... ive said too much. this was entertaining, how'd I do?

[boydykedevo]

They LOST each other and then they FOUND each other again but they COULDN’T REMEMBER so they didn’t even KNOW that they were SOULMATES. They didn’t even KNOW how much they MISSED each other, even after they FOUND each other, and once they REMEMBER it’s a DECADE’S worth of emotion all at ONCE. GOD!!!!

The horrid beast (me) is once again thinking about taagnus reunion/getting back together

SHIPPING INFO. answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

what’s your OTP for your muse(s)?

Considering my Palutena is a canon-divergent version of herself from the Kid Icarus series, I did a lot of creative liberty to her backstory. So to those who are aware, I ship Palutena with Icarus, the son of Daedalus who drowned from getting too close to the sun. It's a tragic tale that left Palutena with a lot of loss trauma. I also ship her with @ikarosxflight's Pit considering his ties to Icarus. But if anyone else can (and is willing to) thaw her icy heart, then you know I'd ship it hard!! lol

what are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

I don't have a lot of triggers and those that I do have, I can differentiate between story telling and real life. Basically, what I mean to say is that if there is chemistry, I can make it work!

my partner would need to realize that things could get super dark, if my partner is willing to allow it to be. Palutena is a force to be reckoned with. She is manipulative and doesn't fall for someone easily, and will most likely use them for her own benefit rather than seeking out a romantic partner. It would have to take a resilient person for her to want to open her heart to them.

What I mean to say is, I'd want to ship with someone who understands this and is willing to write a toxic one-sided love story, or is willing to try and save her. (like jfc give me a Tohru Honda!! Palutena would buckle so hard lol)

how large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

Anyone Palutena would be interested in would have to be an adult well over the age of 18-- maybe even 25. She's thousands of years old, I promise she will not be looking at a 16 year old, lol. She's too mature to want to dabble with a child.

are you selective when shipping?

I am, but also... I'm not, if that makes sense, lol. So long as someone can show that they can have chemistry with Palutena, I can find a way to make it work! Though the person would have to understand that Pit would always come first, no matter what. It would be a tragic and angsty plot point in their love story, especially if they find out that Palutena is just using them for personal gain.

I'd want to discuss with my partner, but I'd like to write together beforehand, establish a plot, and then see if there is a connection both in writing and ooc.

how far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

Once hands start to explore and kisses become.... deeper, then I'd ask my partner if we could move the rp to discord or DM's, because it'd be obvious that the plot was about to take a mature turn and I'm a shy bean when I think about other people reading the nasty bits. Unless we both agree that our muses will be interrupted by something, then we can stick to tumblr!

does one have to ask to ship with you?

I wouldn't mind it at all! By all means, come to me and ask! I'd love to discuss something. But also, if it happens naturally too, I'm also okay with that. But given Palutena's nature, I definitely feel like it'd have to be something we discuss beforehand so we're both in an agreeance with how things will go.

how often do you like to ship?

With other muses, I'm a shipping whore! Love a good filthy romance and always looking for an excuse to write fluffy goodness and smut. For Palutena though, it's a little harder. I've only ever written shipping stuff with Dae's Pit, and that's only cause our muses have a lot of history together.

are you multiship?

I am! Palutena has lived for years. I can either make it that their relationship is just a blip in the long timeline of her life so I could make it canon to her story, or can make it an alternate universe that doesn't corelate with another ship I'm having with someone else. It really does depend on who I'm writing with and what we agree on, and if shipping with that person can change the trajectory of her story in an interesting way.

are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

....... I am ship obsessed, I admit. But I'd never force it down someone's throat, even if I thought our muses could work well together!! If my partner says no, I will back off so fast!

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

none, tbh;;;

finally, how does one ship with you?

Just vibe with me. Talk to me, poke at me and bother me, make friends with me! I'm friendly! lol If you keep talking about our muses and the possibilities that can happen between them, I will eat that shit up!

🍉 Thomesa, Thominewt, Newtmas, Thominho, Nalby, Minally, Sonyariett, Minho/Alby (don't know the ship name), Thomaris, Minewby (Minho/Newt/Alby) for honest ship opinion? 🍉

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

thank you for this anon:DD

to crest and saph who got a tag for this post: it's bc i recced your fics :D

Thomesa

Literal perfection, main character + his narrative foil, deontology vs. utilitarianism depicted in the most empathetic of ways, finally culminating and coming full circle in forgiveness and understanding of the complexitiy of the situation at "I tried."--"I know." Without Thomas and Teresa the story would not exist, and the arc they span over the series is by far the most powerful to me. OTP <3

All my Thomesa Fics on AO3, all my Thomesa Edits.

Thominewt

Fun! There's some really sweet fic for them out there, and I think they would have a wonderful dynamic!

Newtmas

I loved it when I first joined the fandom and then burned out of it a little. Difficult at times that it's so predominant in the fandom; if they're not one of your top ships you have to make a conscious effort to filter Newtmas content out for your own piece of mind. Also I seem to like different things about them than many of the other shippers so I don't vibe with all Newtmas content out there. Which is fair and valid, the reasons people like certain ships are manifold and varied, which is exactly what makes fandom as wonderful as it is. <3

Thominho

A bit of the same as Newtmas, when I discovered it I loved it a lot, but I think I've since written and read about them plenty and I'm more or less saturated on them. Mostly I wrote As Long as I Watch Over You as a canon compliant fic, and to me that's exactly the way they could get together.

Nalby

It took me a long time to see them (mainly due to how Alby commits suicide in the books which is just not something I cope with well), but now I like them a lot! However I do find it a tedious ship to fix since Alby dies so early on in the series. weaving golden threads of fate was the first (and so far only) nalby fic i've written. (This one is canonverse though.)

Minally

Cool! They're definitely interesting characters to smash together bc they're both so stubborn and full of themselves (while at the same time probably harboring deep insecurities). I love Marathon Man by @crestfallercanyon

Sonyarriet

Love! I have a started Glade fic for them (Run, Baby, Run) that I really hope to finish one day. It's going to start out as them butting heads often and have a.. repressed feelings to lovers arc. :P

What I can say though is that many people seem to love a fluffy and wholesome arc for them in mostly sfw fics, so as an angst, tragedy, darkfic and smut lover there's not as much for me out there. (There seems to be a general trend for wlw content being much more wholesome and fluffy than mlm content, the reasons for which are varied and complex.)

Minalby

LOVE!!!!!!!!!! Especially at the glade I think they could have amazing dynamics!!! The way Minho comes back from running the maze in the first book and flops down onto the ground and commands Alby to get him water laksdjfalkjsfdsdajklf. (Also a nice ship: Minewby!! (Minho x Newt x Alby))

Thomaris

Cute! I have them in a depressing bookverse post canon fic that's Thomeris (Thomas x Teresa x Aris) where Aris is completely distraught about Rachel's death: Where did you go

Minewby

Ah lol there you go! I think they could be wonderful! @onceuponabluemoon has one of the few fics on ao3 about them: the Icarus to your certainty

SGU Week Day 4 (Yes, 4!!): Favorite Ship

This is my new OTP. Idk exactly what it is, but buddy, I will take my serotonin from wherever I can get it these days.

Just kidding, I know exactly why I enjoy this. Most of it is that I just really, really like Amanda (don't hate me; despite what my memes may lead you to believe, I am not a Rush Enjoyer, because I know he would make me cry every day if I had to interact with him lmao), but OH MY GOD am I a sucker for The Grumpy One Is Soft for the Sunshine One. I love seeing them feel so safe and comfortable together. I love the ease of their interactions. I don't think anyone cares about spoilers at this point, but good Lord, she almost killed him and he wasn't even mad 😂

I NEVER enjoy canon ships because they feel like forced hetero nonsense. Another reason I enjoy this pairing so much is that to me, a demisexual, it feels very much like a demisexual love story. Think about it. Falling for your best friend, pining for the same guy for years... that's not unique to us, but it's definitely part of the demisexual experience (I'm not a piner, but most demis I meet seem to be). Im aware that they were originally supposed to sleep together in Sabotage, but, again as a demi, I'm glad they ended up taking a different route. I don't enjoy seeing characters who barely know each other hooking up, not because I'm prudish, but because I have no investment in the characters. This... We had to work for this. 🥰

In searching for other fan content, I've discovered that Rush and Amanda aren't a well-liked pairing (go figure, I like a canon ship and it's one no one likes lmaooooooo). I've found that I see this pairing quite differently from its critics; to me, it felt very female-focused. Yes, Amanda clearly only exists to be The Main Guy's love interest, but I found that, apart from the fridging, the ship was very much focused on her desires. She was not a thing to be pursued. She had agency and took initiative. She felt like a whole person to me, not just a pretty doll.

I also enjoyed the hell out of the awkwardness. I don't get secondhand embarrassment. I get the opposite of that. I LIVE for cringe. fr what even was this scene???

"So, you wanna make out or something?"

"Yes, obviously, I fist bumped you. That's pretty much 1st base."

God what a fucking dork

"No, 3rd base is not when a man rolls up his sleeve so you can see his forearms."

I drew them~ They're gonna hold hands bang >:] As you can see from the date, I drew this last year, very shortly after watching Seizure for the first time (I colored it yesterday, though, for this). I liked this pairing right away, and honestly, I was hoping Rush would pay Amanda a visit on earth via the stones after Sabotage. I'm not exactly thrilled that the writers chose to go for two double-fridgings, but the computer ghost thing creates a lot of possibilities for fanfic. I'd also like to have seen them interacting on earth before the Icarus mission.

As a final thought, I also love seeing someone who has been so deeply hurt learning to love again. I'm so disappointed SGU didn't get more seasons, because this would have been interesting to explore further with Rush and Amanda as a proper couple once she got off her bullshit and accepted that he did love her oh my God Mandy he killed that guy for you don't stand there and try to tell him he doesn't love you godddddddddddddd

Anyway, here are some of my favorite meme comics I've made. ^^

They were close friends for years. You cannot convince me that she didn't know exactly what he was like, nor can you convince me that she doesn't love it. 😉

"I'm not codependent! I'm obsessed with you a normal amount!"

In my experience, the key to a successful relationship is to find your person, and then you just annoy the shit out of each other for the rest of your lives (consensually, of course).

I also fully believe that there is no way on God's green earth that Rush would ever willingly watch a Syfy Channel original movie.

He does like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid... Through shitposting with friends, it has become "canon" that Bonanza is one of like, 3 TV shows Rush actually watches. The other two are Nova and House. Amanda, who watched a lot of classic sitcoms with her grandparents as a child with no social life, is unfortunately not a fan of westerns.

That's okay. He can fix her. 🤎

I have an ongoing series (up to 5 parts now) where Rush Definitely Understands the Trolley Problem. This is the first one.

I should really post those here.

She knows his secret >:]

Jim-jams

Also this takes place in the future so they're married now shut up let me have this they're cute

God what a lightweight

That's okay nothing's gonna stop her from getting white girl wasted on Brody's moonshine #YOLO

This was inspired by a fun exchange I had with a friend. It's "canon" in my comics and in progress fic that Amanda watched Wormhole X-treme to prepare for working at the SGC (she is so normal), and read whatever mission reports she had clearance for when she wasn't doing Mega Serious Spaceship Work.

If Rush can bully her into watching cowboy shows, she can bully him right back into watching space shows. This will backfire spectacularly. 😂

[fordtato]

fiddleford mcgucket for the ask game?

Oooooh, thank you!!!!!

favorite thing about them least favorite thing about them favorite line brOTP OTP nOTP random headcanon unpopular opinion song i associate with them favorite picture of them

Favorite thing about them: Fiddleford's got such manic energy! He just drank the alien milk in the Journal! He tried to hit the hide behind with a banjo! He just likes makin' shit, even if it has no use or is dangerous! He's a big ball of jitter and PURE rabid ambition.

Least favorite thing: Hirsch said in the DVD commentary and in a stream that McGucket is nonconfrontational, more of a follower, and that this is why he didn't do more to stop the portal. This frustrates me to no end, and I am FULL of thoughts on it.

Favorite line: "Remember what happened to Icarus..." OR "When Gravity Falls and Earth Becomes Sky, Fear the Beast With Just One Eye"

brOTP: If Myserty Trio was canon? Stan and Fiddleford. But also Ford and Fidds being best friends makes me so happy.

OTP: Ford and Fidds being lovers also makes me so happy

random headcanon: I feel like Fiddleford knew about Bill, even if Ford never says it in the journal. I think Ford just didn't know. fanfiction exploring this kind of became less common after J3 when there was no indication that Fiddleford met Bill, but Fiddleford having an experience with Bord??? It gives me goosebumps.

unpopular opinion: I feel like a lot of people like to make Fiddleford the "common sense" one out of Ford and Fiddleford, or that Fiddleford was the more "domestic" of the two. Like Ford would go do something dangerous and reckless and also he'd burn the kitchen down trying to cook, and then Fiddleford would shake his head and go "well, might as well cook dinner and prepare some bandages for that scallywag for when he comes back tsk tsk tsk." No, I think they both *thought* they were the Common Sense one, but neither of them were, and that the shack was more of a science frat house, just accumulating a mess, while they were both working there. It's like when Fidds drank the Space Milk and Ford was in the journal like "oh my god i cant believe he did that." I read that like "I can't believe YOU didn't." So yeah, I'm not a personal fan of "common sense househusband" readings of him. I also disagree with people who are like "Fiddleford did nothing wrong uwu" - if he knew the apocalypse was coming but didn't do more than just erase his mind, I would say that's not correct. BUT I don't think he's unsympathetic or a bad person. I think it makes him complicated. And I think him being complicated is another one of my favorite parts of him.

Song I associate with him: "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

3, 6, and 12 for the WIP ask?

All the hugs to you. All of them. And a coffee and sangria for good measure 🌻

3. Describe your wip badly

When Stars Ignite: Colleagues can’t keep it in their pants even though they probably should.

Icarus: Mate, have you heard of therapy?

Lemons: Mate, go back to therapy.

6. What kind of readers would be fans of this wip?

When Stars Ignite: idk if people who loved Daisy Jones would like this or bang their heads against the wall, but ideally, the first

Icarus: Bitches who have way to much sympathy for arsehole antagonists and love a corruption arc (it’s me, I’m bitches)

Lemons: Fans of inappropriately dark humour. Hopefully, people who have gone through a similar mental health struggle that Charly has.

12. What inspired this wip

When Stars Ignite: An unhealthy obsession with AUs, my OTP, rock music and @alyslaskeywriter You can take your pick.

Icarus: People’s universal hate for the antagonist in When Stars Ignite and this poem by @wearealsoboats right here.

Lemons: The life story and daily struggles of a person very very dear to me. And probably also insomnia but we’ll just leave that out

[caracalliope]

Rose Lalonde

For the character meme! https://caracalliope.tumblr.com/post/707627194522943488/mushroom-cookie-bears-send-me-a-character-and

favorite thing about them

But, if I have to choose one, I guess it's her FLYING INTO THE SUN (THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN) plan. Rose had so much fun being kind of woegothicky and sinister, and then she crashed into grief and guilt, and then she switches to pragmatic self-immolation LIKE A VERY INTENTIONAL ICARUS. It's wonderful.

Runner up: the doomed Rose from Davesprite's timeline doing the same thing but in a less operatic way.

least favorite thing about them

the half-assed canonical Retcon 'resolution' of her alcoholism. It Doesnt Work Like That None Of It Works Like That

there's a lot in canon - and extracanon - that I diligently ignore, but this part bugs me more than anything else.

favorite line

TT: Are you going to start rapping about this?

TG: what no TG: no listen

TT: Prong of flesh bereft of home TT: Found solace 'twixt a cleft of foam.

TG: no oh jesus

TT: Of apocalypse your thoughts eclipse TT: A painted pair of parted lips TT: That dare through kiss to stir the air TT: That teases tufts of orange hair. TT: And though faces flush in lovers' fits, TT: Hands snug in plush as gloves befit.

brOTP

Rose & J. Egbert are special to me. I wish to knit friendship hearts around them.

I also think Rose & Karkat is underrated as a hatefriendship option. They'd do more than just literary analysis! I love this fic's take on their conversations.

OTP

Rose/Kanaya <3333333333333333333333 (OTP of OTPs). Also: beta kids OT4 (especially Rose/Dave) and sometimes Rose/Sollux (usually as like a subset of Rose/Kanaya/Feferi/Sollux).

nOTP

... I don't think I have one for Rose. Any ship I can think of will work with some version of Rose - like I don't want straightforward Rose/Jane, but I sure want Jasprose/Jane, etc.

Though I guess Rose/Caliborn is just boring to me.

random headcanon

she gets a bearded agama at some point. It's not a necrosalamcer, it doesn't play the stock market, by all appearances it's just a normal agama. But Rose pretends it's got great and terrible prophetic power and nobody can quite tell if she's joking.

it looks like Academy Award Winner Olivia Colman from Do Revenge:

unpopular opinion

I am bored by the discourse of Is Rose Elegantly Sophisticated or Is She an Awkward Hot Mess. She's both, okay. She's neither. She contains eldritch infinities.

song i associate with them

favorite picture of them

"Did you learn to play the rain Rose?"

first fan art that comes to mind right now: Rose and Kanaya bathing

non-fannish art that reminds me of her: Synthia

Hey Caitlyn, it's your Secret Sleuth again! So sorry it took me a bit longer to get back to you but life's just been so busy.

So I'm back with a couple of questions to better plan your gift. I would love to know which are your top 3 favorite Nace moments and which moments you would consider underrated? What’s the aspect of their dynamic that makes you ship them the most?

I know you love musicals-so, what are your top musicals/songs that make you think about Nancy Drew and Nace?

Also, just a general question-when you rewatch, do you rewatch the whole show or do you pick your favorite episodes only?

Thank youuu and I hope you have a wonderful day and rest of the week! 💜

hi secret sleuth! it's so great to hear from you. oh goodness, no need to apologize, i just got through the busiest week, so i totally understand!

putting my answers under a cut because this suddenly got SO long 🤣

i hope that you're doing well and enjoying this time of year. what have you been up to?

picking just three nace moments is so hard, but i'll try! my favorite moment is probably the "i couldn't lose you" scene in 2x12. that was the scene that turned nace into my otp. before that (like literally end of s1) i thought "oh, they'd be cute, i think they should go there" and was definitely rooting for it to be a thing at the start of s2. but that was the moment where i was really all in. especially since we now know the wraith was controlling her there too, so she wasn't able to fully express herself. what else would she have said there? ugh, i just love it!

another one would have to be 2x18. just the whole episode (can you tell s2 is my favorite season?) everything about them in that episode makes me feel insane. the deep love and care for nancy/her well being that ace shows in that episode really, to me, gets to the heart of nace. they're two people who respect and care about each other and will do anything for one another. the way that she is able to lean on him (metaphorically and physically tbh) is so wonderful to see because of how guarded she can be. then, of course there's the dreamscape in there. i love everything about the dreamscape in general, but that scene on the bluffs and the meaning behind it is so beautiful. it makes me cry every time. so, yeah, everything in 2x18 is just pure gold.

ahhhh a third is SO hard! but i do think their final scenes in the series finale. after everything they had gone through (both as a couple and individuals) seeing them get their happy ending was so satisfying. their last scene at icarus hall always makes me cry because you can feel the palpable relief between the two when they get to hug. and while i know it was not a proposal proposal, i can't think of many more romantic things for ace to say to nancy than "will you solve this part of the mystery with me?" absolutely perfect for her/them and her reply of "yes. always. forever" (i am paraphrasing both because i'm too lazy to look them up lol) is just beautiful. and then there's the easy and constant affection between the two at the claw. i always lose it when nancy kisses ace's hand, that's for sure one of my favorite little moments of theirs!

ohhhh some underrated moments. i love this! i am kind of really obsessed with the ease at which nancy touches ace all the time, literally from the start of the show, and we do talk about that a lot, but i don't think we talk enough about ace's easy affection with nancy. one of my favorite little moments is in 3x05 when they talk in the hallway at nick's apartment and ace is comforting her about trott and he puts his hand on her back. it's so small in the grand scheme of things, but it shows their easy affection with one another and it's so sweet. i love all the little moments like that. and their little stolen glances, especially early s1 stuff. a little moment that i really love from the finale is when they're all watching the historical society burn (i'm still traumatized by this tbh), and nace are standing together, and nancy reaches out and places the back of her hand on ace's chest. it's so small, it's a split second really, but i just really love it. i love everything they do hsbalkgbskgbls

i ship them for so many reasons, but really, i just love how much they love each other, and i think it's a deep, true and honest love. they fight, they argue, they make choices that the other doesn't agree with, but at the end of the day when push comes to shove, they will do anything for one another.

i have a bUNCH of musical songs that remind me of them on my editing to do list, so here are some of them: all i've ever known from hadestown, at the beginning from anastasia (well, the film, not the broadway show, but it must be included), falling slowly from once, one more try from & juliet, run away with me & say the word from the mad ones, welcome home (romantic) from bandstand and you matter to me from waitress. there are tons more but those ones give me a lot of nace vibes

i typically rewatch the show from start to finish! and i'll prolong the rewatch because i hate seeing it end every time 😭

Gator Tillman!

Thank you! <3

Gator Tillman

favorite thing about them: He has some funny moments. Like when Roy says, "I'm Nadine's husband." And Gator's like, "Sure, Jan."

least favorite thing about them: Pretty much everything else.

favorite line: "Ole Munch on this..." 😂

brOTP: 🤷‍♀️

OTP: 🤷‍♀️

nOTP: Dot, I guess.

random headcanon: Deputy Nugent couldn't stand him.

unpopular opinion: I don't think he redeemed himself. He only did the right thing when he literally had nothing left to lose. The idea of Dot bringing him cookies does not give me the warm and fuzzies.

song i associate with them: "Icarus" by Bastille (Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it / And what will you have left?)

favorite picture of them:

Evie's Ship Tags

Along with my new OC tags, I also figured I could use new tags for my ships (or just... y'know... actually tag posts about my ships instead of just screaming into the void). And since they're not always clear as to who they're about if just viewed at face value, I decided to make a list of them! This includes romantic, platonic and other sorts of ships.

Yes, I sacrificed recognizability for the funnies. Let me be silly, okay? I am also bad at coming up with ship names, which is another reason for why I settled for this.
