most days I'm fine and then other days I remember that Saint Robert Who Never Did Anything Wrong Ever is in prison without the love of his life

Robron + texts

texting robert is one of aaron’s favourite things to do. that might sound stupid, considering he lives with robert, lives attached to robert more like, but it’s true. it makes him feel like a teenager again - constantly checking his phone, hoping every buzz and ping is his husband. usually, it is - because robert loves texting aaron just as much.

sometime aaron sits and scrolls through their texts. all the important ones stared. it’s amazing how the pair of them have evolved, from this sordid secret to disgustingly in love husbands. it’s incredible how you can see their journey, their progress, through a series of text messages.

14.01.15 - from robert: meet me at the barn in half an hour. need to see you. R

07.04.15 - to robert: ur unbelievable. leave me alone and go back to ur wife robert. i’m done.

20.07.17 - to robert: this is hard for me too robert, i miss u so much. but we can’t, it’s over, it has to be. sorry.

enemy of my enemy by wandering_in_space/@amadya rating: general audiences status: complete length: 5k summary: when aaron and robert, who work in different architecture firms across the country, have to work together because of unfortunate circumstances, they form a bond through email chains and phone calls. misery loves company, and nothing unites people like a common enemy.

I don't understand people going on about robron not kissing, they have never been that kind of couple. Most of their kisses have been in private. Only a few I remember which were in public. Wedding and I think the shower sex after scene in front of charity.

Agreed, nonnie.

What I do get is complaining about them standing feet apart, barely touching at all, which we have had on a few phases. 

I also get that it can be frustrating when you compare them to other couples who do get casual goodbye and hello kisses, but also not a hell of a lot, everybody is just focused on Robron so much more.

I am not bothered that much because for me the physical stuff is not as important, but that is me.

I think they’re the kind of couple that kiss when they want, but I don’t think it’s particularly “not coupley” or very “matey” as so many say to hug when you go away. I know a lot of couples who don’t kiss for every hello and goodbye.

So here I go again Chasing you down again Why do I do this?

I was going through my tag for my Robron metas because I’m starting a rewatch and it got me in the mood to reminisce and not to toot my own horn here but I was super on point a lot.

Like no one can be right all the time but I read some of my old posts and I’m like “Damn bitch, look at you go!”. Like there were things I wrote in January 2015 that were confirmed and made canon over the next few years. 

And let me tell you being that invested and seeing so many possibilities for them early on was not easy I got a lot of anons that fell somewhere between “it’s not that deep” and “sure jan” and there were plenty of people that were not pleasant about it! 

I really miss the time when I felt that connected to them. In some ways I still am but I haven’t written anything in sooo long. I still love them, I still watch scenes - old and new - and get butterflies (or get pissed depending on the scene) but so much of what’s between them now doesn’t leave a lot of room for speculation and them finding their way back to better things seems inevitable, so it feels like what I would write about became an obsolete topic ya know?

Anyway the original point I was getting at was that no one should ever feel down on themselves for being optimistic about a ship they love. I was and now, nearly 3 years later, it’s been more incredible than anything I could ever have dreamed of. It will never be perfect. That’s not their style. But it’s been an unbelievably unique experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything. And I never would have been a part of it if I hadn’t had faith in them.

It's a really interesting point about winning awards. The robron fandom does seem to think that it is the main driver in voting and winning which is questionable at best. Has the popularity of robron helped? Surely. But is that the only reason - not a chance. Especially since Danny M can't land the NTA award. That tells me the fandom is enthusiastic and noisy, but not particularly influential. Also ED write for their main audience cos well, Advertising Revenue. We don't count for THAT much.

I absolutely agree; it means that even though a section of the audience isn’t enjoying the storyline, there is also a large majority who are. Yes, the rorbon fandom helps, but they don’t have the power that they think they do, and even if they did, let’s say for arguments sake, they continue to vote for Emmerdale not matter what but expect a different result; mentality is, they must be doing things right if their winning.

It goes with the argument that Emmerdale isn’t written for the fandom, and I wholeheartedly agree with that. They write for their main audience; which is why we’ve had three botched up abortion storylines but they still win because that’s their main audience. At the end of the day; that’s who their writing for; along with advertises (because they have to agree with the message the show is pushing in order to sponsor it,) among other things including the network. I mean, it’s not as simple as them wanting to write something; and writing it. 

People also need to realise that soaps expect you to move on, it’s the nature of them. the Audience is meant to cling to present and forget about the past unless it’s specifically brought by the show itself. We’re meant to take the characters, in the present, in the plot that’s presented. People thought of Ashley as a great man at the end, forgetting that he’d abused his father because we were meant to. Holding onto the past is just a no-go in soaps.

idek why but I just reread your post about Ryans win at the tv choice awards and now I'm so emo over robron and dryan I miss them SO much why is it not xmas yet and this whole storyline erased with only soft rorbon content onwards ;)

I’M SO GLAD THE WHOLE REASON I WROTE THAT POST IS SOLELY DOING ITS DUTY

I’m just kidding I wrote it because I had so many feelings and that day is up there with the most monumental moments but it’s also a post I reread when I’m full of bitterness and dejection so I’m glad it does the trick for you too

where do I sign for soft robron content and plenty of dryan bonding to cleanse the soul??? I DON’T KNOW WHETHER THEY’LL BE AT INSIDE SOAP BUT I REALLY HOPE WE GET SOME FRESH UPDATES AND POSITIVE NEWS 

I mean it’s gonna be a rollercoaster of emotions until we reach christmas but you can bet your bottom dollar I have a countdown timer for the day 

give me all the slow build up topped with the soapy drama that inevitably brings them back together where they belong

my heart’s already reached this far I think it can hold on a little bit more

BRING 🗣 IT 🗣 ON 🗣

The swaying kiss over the breakfast table late last year. Robert just looked so damn happy to be kissing his hubby. I don't know if it is under appreciated, but I feel with the circumstances around Seb it might be.

i forgot that it was a new year and was trying to think back to 2017 duh. but i’ve got you now, and yes!!!! that kiss is in the god tier of rorbon kisses. what a lovely surprise it was to - a solid 9/10 from me.
