[queenlyregent]

hey tumblr dot com, I haven't been active on here in a while and I've never posted about this, but I've been writing a rhaenicent fanfic and posting it to ao3, and after months of writer's block and procrastination, I finally managed to finish it (mostly because I procrastinated doing arguably much more important writing by doing so, but hey a win is a win). just wanted to mention it because I'm actually kinda proud! it's nowhere near perfect and it's still quite underedited, but it's the first fic I ever posted online so in case you're interested, here is the link and I'd love for you to check it out <3<3<3<3

(fair warning to all my rhaenicents tho, there is some light lucemond in this and I totally get if that's not your cup of tea and you'd like to steer clear hahaha)

Summary:

Rhaenyra loses her daughter while still in Kingslanding to petition for her son in the Velaryon succession crisis. Exhausted, she decides to stay and care for her dying father.

Tensions run high between the different factions of the family. For the sake of their children and themselves, Rhaenyra and Alicent relearn to navigate life at court together; all the while allegiances are unclear, trust is broken and built anew.

[lovelenivy]

you know what hate crimes md enjoyers, idk if this has been done before but i wanna start like a little tag game: i wanna know your favorite seasons in order, what you think is the best episode each season, your personal favorite ep from each season, any honorable mentions if you have them, and your least favorite/worst episode in your opinion. i'd also like to have you sort the main characters/fellows from favorite to least favorite, plus tell me your favorite ship (and optionally, a ship you enjoy and think is underrated)! feel free to toss in any explanations for why you chose what you did. (: kinda long, but oh well – feel like it'll be fun.

i'll go first (so you can see the format) – listing seasons from the best imo, to the worst, and the episodes.

Seasons:

1. Season 3

Best episode: one day, one room (?)

Favorite episode: merry little christmas

Honorable mention(s): cane and able, words and deeds, family, needle in a haystack

Least favorite episode: que sera sera (?)

it was hard to pick the best bc i'm biased towards merry little christmas, but i don't know if it would be the best of the season exactly. as for que sera sera, nothing really wrong with it but honestly i had a hard time picking a least favorite too. great season – to me it's like the classic house season.

2. Season 5

Best: birthmarks

Favorite: under my skin

Honorable mention(s): the softer side, last resort, both sides now, painless

Least favorite: big baby (?)

i literally just barely remember big baby compared to the rest, i think, no matter how many times i see it. amazing season though, honestly so up there with s3 for me that it became a tough choice.

3. Season 6

Best: help me

Favorite: wilson

HM(s): the down low, broken (part 1 & 2), baggage, lockdown

Least favorite: epic fail, remorse (?)

help me is such an amazing episode, it always makes me cry. epic fail is extremely annoying tho and idk why, like after i watched it more than once or twice i started having a hard time rewatching it. and honestly every time i watch remorse i get pissed off on thirteen's behalf and it's just not a fun feeling. not a bad episode though. i know a lot of people don't like s6 but i love it.

4. Season 2

Best: euphoria (part 1 & 2)

Favorite: no reason

HM(s): skin deep, distractions, hunting, clueless

Least favorite: sleeping dogs lie

i recently rewatched euphoria and it's so fucking good i legitimately cried. sleeping dogs lie isn't a bad episode, it just is frustrating to watch for many reasons. another classic house season.

5. Season 4

Best: house's head/wilson's heart

Favorite: house's head/wilson's heart, 97 seconds

HM(s): mirror mirror, you don't want to know, frozen, living the dream

Least favorite: the right stuff

nothing really wrong with the least favorite – it was honestly a tough choice. also i couldn't pick a favorite, it was so tough. i honestly really like this season despite how short and different it is.

6. Season 1

Best: detox

Favorite: detox

HM(s): three stories, histories, control, mob rules

Least favorite: heavy, everybody lies (pilot)

the pilot being orange just makes me laugh the whole time so it's hard to watch, and chase's insane fatphobia in heavy is just disturbing, which is the only reason it's a least favorite. for the best i was torn between three stories and detox, but i think detox is better. s1 is ranked so low bc of general weirdness.

7. Season 8

Best: the c-word, everybody dies

Favorite: the c-word

HM(s): dead & buried, twenty vicodin, nobody's fault, post mortem

Least favorite: we need the eggs

we need the eggs isn't bad, the case is just ??? weird and kinda sad tbh idk. i haven't rewatched the c-word yet but i remember it fondly, so i couldn't really choose a best episode. is picking the finale kinda dumb? maybe, idk. i like a lot of episodes from season 8 surprisingly, like most of them, but it's so different from the previous seasons with cuddy absent and the late addition of two new main characters that it can't be any higher for me.

8. Season 7

Best: after hours

Favorite: after hours, out of the chute

HM(s): unwritten, bombshells, the dig, moving on, fall from grace

Least Favorite: two stories

god i really can't stand rewatching two stories. idk what it is but the fucking kids that house gets stuck with in the principal's office are so annoying ??? probably my least fave episode in all of house. but despite how s7 is at the bottom, it did have some great episodes. just wasn't my favorite season at all, especially as someone who isn't really into huddy.

Characters:

from favorite to least favorite of the main characters –

1. House (of course)

2. Wilson

3. Thirteen

4. Cuddy

5. Chase

6. Foreman

7. Kutner

8. Cameron

9. Amber

10. Taub

11. Park

12. Adams

13. Masters

favorite ship: hilson (house / wilson)

underrated ship: thirteen / cameron, or chase / foreman

[unloneliest]

my tmg song sorters are once again up to date! you can find them all under the cut. i added a total of 5 new song sorters this year, as well as an album sorter that's comprehensive of all of the mountain goats' releases, not just what's on streaming!

the rest of the sorters include only what's on spotify, but with each new (old) addition to streaming, it's looking like making the jump to a more comprehensive sorter situation is going to be easier and easier!

if you attempt the all spotify songs sorter, i’d recommend using a computer to do so - it takes a very long time to do & will sometimes refresh on mobile browsers, which starts you over from the beginning.

anyways! hope yall enjoy ^_^ let me know what you think! post your results and tag me! etc!

GENERAL:

all spotify songs

album sorter (just what’s on spotify)

album sorter (all albums)

songs released on eps/exclusively as singles (spotify playlist)

MERGE:

jenny from thebes

the jordan lake sessions 5

bleed out

the jordan lake sessions 3-4

dark in here

the jordan lake sessions 1-2

getting into knives

songs for pierre chuvin

in league with dragons

goths

beat the champ

transcendental youth

all eternals deck

4AD:

the life of the world to come

heretic pride

get lonely

the sunset tree

zopilote machine 

we shall all be healed 

tallahassee 

LOFI:

all hail west texas 

devil in the shortwave

jam eater blues

the coroner’s gambit 

isopanisad radio hour

new asian cinema

full force galesburg 

nothing for juice

nine black poppies 

sweden

beautiful rat sunset

bitter melon farm 

ghana 

protein source of the future… now! 

...

possible future changes:

adjusting the comprehensive song sorter to be in the same order as my all tmg in chronological order playlist on spotify, & linking it

including the EPs that were compiled in to ghana/protein source/melon farm as their own separate sorters

separating EPs and albums more fully in my lists of sorters & in the album sorters i've created

including EPs and albums not (yet?) on streaming

including unreleased and live only songs? pros: people can have a tool that helps people who've heard them before in figuring out their favorite mountain goats songs. cons: removes new fans' need to go searching for unheard gems, & that's a huge part of the enjoyment

10 BL Boys Women I Want Carnally

@waitmyturtles @neuroticbookworm @dribs-and-drabbles wanted me to be thirsty on main, I guess. There's really no point to this because @telomeke won the thirst olympics already but I'm ready to talk about some women anyway

I'm playing real fast and loose with the rules here but it's my list so I'm going to do what I want (ideally these women, one can dream)

Ink (Bad Buddy) Calm, cool, confident, talented, scary (spoilers: this is going to be a theme)

Nuchy (Cutie Pie) she deserved a better show

Asssassin Lady (Kinnporsche) She showed up for like 5 minutes over a year ago, beat up a bunch of people in a sparkly dress and heels and disappeared forever and I've been thinking about her since

Maya and Rose (Laws of Attraction) I was really tempted to cheat and make this 3 separate additions - one for each of them and one for them together. Honestly they deserve it. But more than anything I love them judging in lesbian together so they're going in together in this list

Photjanee (My School President - both versions) Remember Tinn's wild ass fantasy from ep 2? I sure do

Gim (My School President - both versions) Criminal that we don't have more gifs of her, this one's on us all collectively

Choi Yuna (Semantic Error) She makes it onto everyone's lists AND FOR GOOD REASON

Phuwadol (Vice Versa) they deserved better than a last minute Foei reveal

Sai (10 Years Ticket) She may be a bad mother but I'm not here looking to have kids, y'know?

Pin (10 Years Ticket) I had a much better time through 10 Years Ticket than I had imagined I would. I also found out while working on this post that Tai Penpak has been in at least 2 Golf Tanwarin films. Score!

This next section is basically half the cast from The Warp Effect because, well. Have you seen them?

Jean (The Warp Effect) I'm more than a little bit in love with her, nbd

Kat (The Warp Effect) I promise not to fall in love with you, Kat. But MY GOD do I want you

Nim (The Warp Effect) I'm well aware of how easily you could beat me up (please do)

Kim (The Warp Effect) I'll have fun with you Kim!!!

And saving the best for last...

Molly (The Warp Effect) because Silvy deserves to be on this list multiple times

Honorable Mentions Because they're gorgeous and I couldn't pick a single role

Namtan Tipnaree

Aye Sarunchana

✨2023: A Summary✨

Post your most popular and/or favourite edit/gifset/analysis for each month (it’s okay to skip months!)

Tagged by @daymork - Thanks for wanting to see how my analyses 'popped off and what my personal favs are!' 💖

January

most popular — Bad Buddy/My School President parallel - not an analysis but people do love a good parallel!

favourite(s) — Never Let Me Go discussion - I love when something I write inspires others and it sets off a long thread where people keep adding to it. | Another Bad Buddy/My School President parallel - not technically my post but I love the additions I brought together on this.

February

most popular/favourite(s) — The colour-coding of Bed Friend - another long thread where others joined in.

March

most popular/favourite(s) — A ramble about Moonlight Chicken - which includes a little analysis of the show as it ended.

April

most popular — "What exactly does being blue/red/yellow/etc. coded mean?" - I don't get asks often but I was humbled that someone came to me to understand what colour-coding meant.

favourite(s) — Chains of Heart colours series - I was late to the series, and it ended disappointingly, but the colours were brilliant. | Colour-coded folks in UMG - not a bl but they also colour-coded the leads.

May - n/a - I didn't really write any big posts/analysis this month.

June

most popular — "It's the right moment to kiss!" Our Skyy 2 x BBS x ATOTS - Aof calling himself out as well as us bl fans.

favourite(s) — Colours in Our Skyy 2 BBS x ATOTS - I couldn't resist writing about it since it stayed consistent to how they used colours in the original series.

July

most popular — The casting of Be My Favourite - the realisation that the 'odd pairing' of Krist and Gawin was integral to the story being told.

favourite(s) — Be My Favourite ep 9 - the ep that got me thinking about the characters even more. | Kawi and his sense of Self - where I dip my toe into philosophy, theories of The Self, and how memory plays a part in that.

August

most popular/favourite(s) — Laws of Attraction ep 5 - I loved everything about this series but this was the one that got the most attention - maybe because it featured Silvy a lot? 😂

September

most popular — Friends don't let friends go - which pairs with Only friends stay (posted in Oct), and which say a lot about the group and Boston.

favourite(s) — Clowned correctly Laws of Attraction - I just love when something flippant I say is (sort of) right in the end!

October

most popular — The Rainbow Best sweater - not an analysis, nor any created art...but the sweater itself is art, as is that so many characters and actors have worn it.

favourite(s) — Getting emotional over Kiseki: Dear to Me - this was the ep that hit me in the feels. | The Thai Communal Wardrobe items #6 and #3 - again not analysis or art but the start of the communal wardrobe list!

November

most popular — Mhok's Fart Proudly t-shirt - this had me going back to my Bad Buddy days of analysing t-shirts.

favourite(s) — Horney Hockey part 1 and part 2 - more t-shirts, more fantastic additions. | A thought on Night and Day - I'm still so curious about Day and Night's relationship and I can't wait to find out what their deal is. | Band aids on Rung's car and the goldfish slippers the symbolism of Mhok and day's 'damage' and the healing that they're doing. | "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly" | The t-shirts are definitely t-shirting - these last two are essentially reflecting on the same thing - the sentiments in The Little Prince story that Mhok reads out in ep 1 of Last Twilight.

December

most popular — Mhok is Day's eyes - a brilliant use of colour in Last Twilight.

favourite(s) — Couple bracelets - just me excited over possibilities. | Most memorable items of clothing in bl series in 2023 - looking back through the year. | The Thai Communal Wardrobe bl advent - this was a fun series to do...and it only encompassed about a third of the items on the list, so I'll be posting them in dribs and drabs throughout the year.

Tagging people who also tend to write analysis or meta posts, I'd love to see which were a hit with the masses and also which were your favourites: @wen-kexing-apologist @grapejuicegay @lurkingshan @btwinlines @twig-tea @rocketturtle4 @waitmyturtles @telomeke and @respectthepetty

2023 post round-up/summary

Lovely @twig-tea tagged me here, so I'll try my hand.

I'd abandoned tumblr for about 4? 5? years 2016ish through 2020, had a short stint with it again in 2020, took peeks and vehemently disagreed with much of what I saw in 2021-2022, and grudgingly settled back in in 2023. I wasn't going to interact. I wasn't.

Jan-April: *crickets* I was being strong!

Then, I saw people moaning about how they'd learn Thai if only it was on Duolingo, and you know how spite can be funnelled into positivity? I did that! Result:

May

Popular: Free Thai Language Learning Resources, most popular by a landslide. This pleases me greatly, as I put a lot of work into it and always hope more people start picking up this language.

Favourite: maybe my thoughts on Ming, piggybacking off @kenmakaashi's post?

June

Popular: my musings on translation and how it relates to fannish reception of media, which was my most popular post of the year and 'broke containment', if only in a very small way. Some of the additions in the tags and reblogs are fantastic, do go have a look if you like!

Favourite: toss-up between my attempt at showing a parallel between a silly moment in Our Skyy 2 x BBS and a scrapped shot from BBS proper and this rant about Romanisations of Thai and why G**gle translate is the devil (that bit is in the conversation downthread), which let me meet @plantsarepeopletoo.

July

Popular: Summary of James Welker's 2006 essay "Beautiful, Borrowed, and Bent: “Boys’ Love” as Girls’ Love in Shōjo Manga"

Favourite: the offerings are slim here … let's go with the one in which I once more was salty about the way folks talk about BL

August

Popular: Only Friends' Ray isn't just The Drunkard, but also The One Who's basically Given Up On Himself, as per his title card (this one was so popular it got stolen and reposted – without credit or permission – to twitter 🙃)

Favourite: Thinking about Drama, the Romance genre, and tropes, and how those relate to our perception of BL (good additions from various folks in the notes; conversation with @visualtaehyun in reblogs and @twig-tea in the replies).

September

Popular: IFYLITA Ep 6 poem context notes

Favourite: toss-up between complaining about badly machine translated content in Love in Translation and musing on the name of Khun Yai's favourite bar

October

Popular: my long-winded answer to @zimmbzon's ask "Hi, how would a non-binary person (me) get around the binary gender rules and vocab in Thai?"

Favourite: uhhh … maybe my musings on honorific translations in kimi ni wa todokanai? (yes, technically a reblog from sideblog, shh)

November

Popular: most popular was this throwaway therapy vent containing food for thought and while I guess this meme is mostly fannish I'm linking it anyway because it's my blog and I'll cry if I want to (or something)

Favourite: when I called out the resemblance between the Last Twilight trailer and Intouchables (2011). Literally no one cared, but then @my-rose-tinted-glasses independently came in strong with receipts as soon as the actual first episode aired and made me feel validated af.

December

Popular: Why I'm pretty sure Last Twilight's "fried rice/false rice" joke was funnier in Thai

Favourite: the saga of the songs in Ep 4 of Last Twilight

I didn't do any round-up posts, but I'll include the other category @twig-tea added:

Five other posts that I want to highlight because I can:

Part 2

[hetaoren]

After seeing screenshots from LXC and LQR having tea and tags wondering what room that is, if it's the Hanshi (aka LXC house/room), but it's not, it's a room/building called song feng shui yue, I went into a bit of an obsession to find out what that building might be. If it's possible that it's LQR's place of living. I found this post, which is great (some really amazing drawings there, guys), but what 'annoys' me a little is that they call it Hanshi/Yashi but never mentions the name song feng shui yue, even though it's right there, even in their drawings. Yashi is on another sign, but there's never any sign that says Hanshi, so it doesn't seem like it's actually LXC's place of living. The place does have a bed though, so I think it might maybe be where LQR sleeps.

(TL;DR at the bottom.)

Let's dive into this now. Starting with the name of the place:

松風水月 - sōng fēng shuǐ yuè (it's read right to left)

松 - loose; to loosen; to relax; floss (dry, fluffy food product made from shredded, seasoned meat or fish, used as a topping or filling); pine; 風 - wind; news; style; custom; manner; 水 - water; river; liquid; beverage; additional charges or income; (of clothes) classifier for number of washes 月 - moon; month; monthly

This might come from a poem or similar, since that seems to be a Gusu Lan thing. I'm not Chinese and I couldn't find anything with these words or signs in them when I searched.

Edit: I've now found stuff and it is indeed from a poem/verse written by Emperor Taizong of Tang. This also means the characters are meant to be read as one on one and not together as the dictionary told me, aka be read as feng + shui, not feng shui (which I did find a little weird, but I rather trust a Chinese dictionary than my very low knowledge of Chinese, especially since I know that feng shui is more than just how to place your furnitures).

"As clear as the pine breeze, as bright and clear as the moon in the water. It means a noble character."

It also seem to be a part of the Yashi, since it says Yashi ( 雅室 ) (once again read right to left) by the door that leads to the walkway/courtyard where song feng shui yue is, as seen in ep 6. (I think it's possible Yashi is the collective name of several buildings/rooms belonging to the main Lan family.)

Now to analyse what can be seen in different episodes, mainly ep. 7.

Firstly, the building seems to be the entrance/reception hall with the "high seat" at the end and then a room to the right and one to the left.

To the right is where we see Qiren and Xichen having tea at least twice (and I think Xichen sees Guangyao there too later on). This part of the building is seen from several angles and quite well. Nothing is really hidden here and seems to be a table for 2-3 people.

The room to the left is not seen much at all. As far as I've found, it's best seen when Jin Guangshan is there and we can see if behind him. There you can see a bed and a guqin. I'm quite certain that's not Wangji's guqin, it could possibly be Xichen's, but it could also be Qiren's. In any case, it's there and so is the bed, so someone sleeps there regularly and my bet is that it's Lan Qiren. Because if this truly was the Hanshi, why doesn't the sign in the front says that instead of song feng shui yue?

Another reason I believe this might be Qiren's living area is because we get to see Xichen talk to Wen Chao, but that is not in this building. It might seem like it, but unless they've changed interior and moved around furniture etc, it's a different place. I believe Xichen talks to Wen Chao in the Hanshi aka his home (especially considering the bamboo you can see behind him, even if it's just a bamboo motif + there's a bed in the background too).

This is where Xichen sees Wen Chao:

Not the same as song feng shui yue:

TL;DR: song feng shui yue where we see LQR & LXC have tea and LQR meet with JFM & JGS is possibly LQR's place of living and seems to be a part of the Yashi. Hanshi seems to be elsewhere (although could still be a part of Yashi).

when you get this you have to answer with 5 of your fav songs and then tag your mutuals to do the same :) (no pressure!)

Tagged by @wen-kexing-apologist and (I think?) @twig-tea, thanks babes!

I can never conjure up favorite songs in mid-air, it feels wrong every time and I listen to too much music!! So I'll do this knowing I'll inevitably leave out songs I love. I'm putting my Spotify January 2024 playlist on shuffle (I make one every month of songs I'm vibing with) and letting that choose for me.

1 - (Intro) Let's Hope Heteros Fail, Learn, and Retire by Alice Longyu Gao

I mean, relatable. (Vid has full version and is extremely bizarre, enjoy!) My bro @internetaddict2 introduced me to this and I just love how balls-to-the-wall, unapologetically weird it is, yet it still actually has a pretty neat melody?! Wild.

2 - เป็นไรมั้ย (Would you mind?) by Daou Pittaya

Nothing about this song is earth-shattering (pretty standard, to be honest), but I do really like Daou's voice. :) It's just a really pleasant song to throw on in the background. Also was not expecting Offroad to show up in the music video out of nowhere lmfao. It's nice to see Daou unencumbered by an unfortunate wig.

3 - Deep Deep Sleep by WOODZ

Talk about a singer's voice I love! I am so tempted to throw ten more songs of his on here. Another of his songs on my playlist this month, BEHIND, is off his recent single album AMNESIA which is altogether fucking phenomenal. I LOVE how he uses his distinctive voice here, soulful and controlled and ethereal, to match the mood of the song. They use a filter to great effect. It feels like you're flying over water, through the fog, suspended by gorgeous synths, a really satisfying bass, dreamy guitar, and piano. I love this whole EP, actually, and this is the opener!!

4 - You First (Re: Remi Wolf), originally by Paramore

Another one my brother introduced me to. A cover of a song Paramore commissioned for their most recent album, Remi Wolf SLAAAAAYS IT. Every time I listen to this I feel like jumping up and down it's so good!!!!!!! She was evil for this! Amazing interpretation, no notes. Can you tell I really like rock music?

5 - Replay by Planet 1999

I just love this little song. It's so fun, so beautiful, so poppy. It's a bit shoegazy and hypnotic. Overall manages to be both nostalgic and futuristic which is exactly the vibe I love! I can play this song on a loop without getting sick of it which is a pretty major feat for me, honestly. I tend to hate repeating music, it grates on my nerves. I need variety!

Bonus!! Because I felt bad for leaving these out (and I had to stop myself from adding ten more so)

I by TAEYEON and Verbal Jint

Taeyeon's voice, man... and Verbal Jint's verse is actually pretty good, as expected from him.

Who Knows by WOODZ

I had to. My favorite off this album.

Feelin' Good (feat. Jiselle) by PARK WOO JIN

Yeah, it's not the best ever, but I really enjoy Park Woo Jin's flow here. And Jiselle's voice is a great addition!

I dunno who else has done this? So I'll just tag @waitmyturtles :) But if you see this and want to do it, let me know and tag me in your post!

[watchingblsnowandforever]

I was rewarded for my faith. Forget being disappointed, I LOVED every single second of today's episode. And I'm gonna take you for a swim to the deep end today, so get ready.

Ep. 1 1/4

From the very beginning, it's clear that there is a role reversal. (Loved the cute little doll in Gun's room.)

The selection of the school president is a satire, as explained in this post. I think it's also a representation of those schools where the teachers choose the council (i speak from personal experience), but I don't know if that is practised in any Thai school. I liked it nonetheless.

What really got me was that they actually created an Alternate Universe and didn't simply make a reflection of the original world just with roles reversed.

Ep. 1 2/4

That's twice I've heard "I'm not like the mothers in those drama series" in a BL drama series, and I enjoyed the context both times. [tell me in the tags if you know what's the other series I'm talking about ;)]

Jokes aside, this is also a reality check. Gun's mother in the original universe is not only forgiving but helps them escape as well. Unfortunately, not everyone is that lucky. Most mothers would scold the hell out of their children (ehm.. also from personal experience; just different contexts)

In this universe, the conflict is similar but not the same. While that universe focused more on the long term conflict of not being able to win (or even participate) in Hot Wave, here it focuses on the more immediate problem of their club closing down. Which makes sense considering the original had more time to cover and now they only have two episodes.

Also noticed the subtle reference to The Gifted series (most probably cause I'm watching it).

Poor Gun whining about his well-laid plans to get laid (read that as cuddle I just wanted to make a pun) with Tinn going down the drain in one surprising swoop.

To no one's surprise, the Umbrella™ (whether held by Tiw or Por) is well-loved in any universe.

I also liked the small little additions to their first meeting :D

And I'm sure I wasn't the only person with a mile wide yim (smile) during Imagi-Tinn and Gun's conversations with Gun's mom.

If I thought Tinn's reaction was funny, well, Gun just secured the permanent place on the top of my list :D

Nong Chinzhilla. Need I say more?

Nice to see Por's lack of filter and exquisite fashion sense exists in every universe. "Don't mind us, we're just nosy..." <- this is a reference to the original universe; this scene:

And don't think I missed that little smile when Gun said to submit a love request when they were fighting for that pamphlet.

Ep. 1 3/4

"I didn't mean to kiss you." I was laughing so hard I had to pause the video, and mom looked at me weird like, 'she's finally lost that last little thread. It was about time.'

"I can ride this since I was born." And can't even wear the helmet.

Gun is flirty in every universe and Tinn is weak for it in every universe too.

Tinn's smile when Gun helps him with the helmet... you can not tell me he doesn't already like Gun at least a little bit.

[Unmute :D Do NOT repost; I'll do more than find you]

Winnie the Pooh being in love with Sound already; Tiw and Por flirting to the moon and back... what's new.

"I saw that." with that expression is by far one of my favourite SoundWin moments. Also one of the funniest.

SoundWin caught in the act of PDA: nah, we're just the best of frenemies :)

Gun when Tinn was hugging him: *dreamy look* all my dreams are coming true.

Ep. 1 4/4

Gun getting the perfect moment to confess and trying to do it:

Tinn: *snore*

I liked that dance played quite an important role in this. Also liked the reference To TiwPor in Prom Night: Live On Stage.

Tinn and Gun with matching hairbands >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Do NOT repost; I'll do more than find you]

What really got to me though, is that by doing this, they are validating every single fanfiction and headcanon out there, which is very surprising and nice of them.

The characters are not entirely different, they are just placed in different environments which affects their personalities.

Both Gun and Tinn still have that edge of boldness, but it's more prominent in Tinn while laced with trepidation in Gun.

Tiw still has that soft witty humour, Por still lacks a filter and has great taste and they're still disgustingly cheesy.

Win and Sound still fight, but they still help and love each other.

I also want to say that Fourth and Gemini are amazing actors and have played Gun and Tinn in both universes flawlessly.

What I also liked is that they're both whipped in any universe lol.

All in all, I'm enjoying my ride through the Multiverse of Cuteness to the fullest :D

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

Yay, thanks for the ask!

My top 5 additional tags on ao3 (in descending order): Episode Related, Getting Together, Fluff, Established Relationship, First Kiss

Okay yeah yep, that's very accurate hahahaha! I am not afraid to write Garashir fluff and I truly do love rewriting episodes (or inserting missing scenes into episodes) to give Garak and Julian the opportunity to kiss and get together! <3 <3 <3 I feel like the thesis statement of my oeuvre is that it is ALWAYS the right time for Garashir to get together. Like, they can get together during Past Prologue or post-canon or anytime in between, and the exact conditions to get things started might be different depending on the timeframe, but it will always work out for them! ^_^ Anyway, the most obscure ep I've gotten them together in is s4e21 The Muse. XD

I am honestly shocked that established relationship is in my top 5 tags, because I have significantly more ideas about Garashir getting together scenarios than ones where they're already together, lolll, but I guess I do still write about them already together a lot too!

(For this ask game. Please send me more asks everyone!)
