#rival soulmates

[kathrahender]

"Why do you ship them???? Why "X male character" and "X male character" can't be just friends????"

And one of characters in question is looking at the other as if they were angels or a beautiful mytical creature.

[hubbabubbagumpop]

Your honour, this proves that these idiots are soulmates.

[stop-ur-losing-me]

my favorite lovers tropes

academic rivals to lovers (IS SO GOOD, plus when theyre forced to work together)

the "why didn't you answer my letters??" followed by "you wrote me letters???" HEARTWRENCHING

fake dating (enough said)

the 'you need to learn how to dance so im gonna teach you and oh gosh why r we this close?' (honestly one of my all time favs)

the two enemies dancing together at a masquerade dance (yes, just yes)

the screamed love confession during an argument "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU" (best thing ever)

one bed trope (enough said)

the 'i hate everyone but you' couple (yesssss)

one losing their mind if the other is hurt or captured (cough percabeth cough)

the bodyguard/princess trope I REPEAT THE BODYGUARD/PRINCESS TROPE

the 'we were flirting and everyone else knows we were flirting but we're in denial bout it' (this trope)

MUTUAL PINING MUTUAL PINING

additionally, the 'everyone thinks we're dating but we r not/ in denial bout it' (BEST TROPE EVER)

the hero falling for the villain (honestly one of the best ones out there)

lovers to enemies (SO ANGSTY)

there's more i'll add when i can :)

[smatterbrained]

I know that's screamer but this is about megop actually

[losergirlsyndrome]

ronan and adam being friends before lovers is so important to me that I'll never be able to explain in words properly. like imagine having a best friend as your partner and a partner as your best friend... im gonna cry myself to sleep bye...

Still thinking about the time I saw someone in the comments of a kagehina edit on tiktok going on about how Hinata and Kageyama couldn't date/be in love because they're best friends, and that it'd be "like shipping Naruto and Sasuke."

Naruto and Sasuke.

Of all character duos they could compare kagehina to, they just had to go and pick the ones who CANONICALLY KISSED EACH OTHER.

dont you just love when ur annoying roommate who you’re deep in love with acts like a raging hamster (you are a feeble scholar)

This is just my own interpretation, and I very much do not say that other reads are wrong or that people shouldn't write romantic/sexual qijiu fic, which I've read plenty of and is great, but

I think it's also valid to read Yue Qingyuan and Shen Jiu's relationship as being neither romantic nor sexual

they are still 100% each other's most precious person but in an entirely platonic way. This read to me mostly comes from the fact that their bond -- which was so strong that the splintering of it kicked off a sequence of events that led to the downfall of their sect and arguably to the end of the world -- formed in their childhood on the streets, before either of them had gone through puberty. And, critically, although they met again when they became teenagers and then adults, their relationship never advanced in any kind of positive direction after that.

I don't think Shen Qingqiu was Yue Qingyuan's white moonlight, or the one he got away. I think he was the one he couldn't save, and the inability to save him hollowed Yue Qingyuan out. It was a wound that was inflicted early enough that it took up half his world, and only grew as he did. I think you don't have to be romantically or sexually interested in someone to love them enough to be willing to die for them.

I think you can get a valid read of the situation that Yue Qi and Shen Jiu's relationship was never romantic, let alone sexual.

at the end of the day i feel bad for harry potter fans. they’re so limited to one ERA and characters that have already had seven books written about them.

where’s the fun in that?! too much canon, too many straight people, where’s the fun?!

they’ll never know true happiness until they go to the dark side. we have all the fun over here

[remcocoa]

2021 uae tour stage 5 and look who's on tadej's wheel lol

[seagreenstardust]

No matter what happens in canon, bkdk are soulmates.

[chotachica]

If you like dazai from bsd you like gojo from jjk and if you like gojo from jjk you like vash from trigun, its literally stated by god

[aaandbackstabbed]

Scrooge: I’m not that in love with Goldie

Huey: you are doodling your wedding invitations

Scrooge: no, this is our joint tomb stone.

Huey: …my bad

[iamtherealjamesdean]

something something about tadej and jonas being like. tadej smitten with jonas. like jonas is very private, serious and quiet, and tadej being the showman, smilling and entertainer, and yet tadej makes the jokes (on our way to get coffee) (almost like we are a couple), takes the extra step (congratulation video for danish tv), wants more of jonas (jonas should do classics) (rivalism for the history books). jonas is seen as the “boring” one between the two but not to tadej. he always always always wants contact and seeks the relation . hes smitten by him. hes found something in jonas. appreciates jonas. he wants jonas there.
