[leonardalphachurch]

sometimes you make something and have to milk it for all its worth

[fishfingersalad]

been listening to 'Bow chicka wow wow wow' a lot today bc it got stuck on my head and i know this wasn't the intended takeaway was but to me the verse: "On blue team we do things A little bit screwy your girlfriend is my girlfriend Just like in the movies" Is Tucker talking to Tex about Church. Church is their girlfriend.

Pleaseeeee rec me your favorite RvB fics! Any pairing is fine, AUs are fine, literally everything - y'all my bookmarks are looking a little dry.

[aperture-of-bullshit]

chorus arc is great plot wise but its also great because tuckers sad that church left without saying goodbye and then rebounds with wash and then looses wash to the feds and rebounds with felix and then post betrayal goes back to wash and then

I'm genuinely so curious as to the fandom's opinion on this

[churchyaoi]

any chucker and/or churchwash headcanons ...? im desperate for content of them

good question i honestly don't have a lot because i'm not that big on shipping but i really like how tragic they both are or can be. though im not sure if that counts as headcanons like chucker with alpha church + the tragedy of tucker losing him only to get him "back" but not really because epsilon is still kind of his own guy. and everyone kind of expects him to be cool with it. i wish we could have had some more focus on that but tbh same with church + wash (and specifically epsilon church) but you might have seen the art i made with them. they could be great together but what happened to them will probably stand in the way of a genuine relationship forever and its neither of their fault. but they barely interacted in the show and im like COME ONNNN . COME ON .............

church/tucker (chucker if youre feeling fun) is basically the precedent for every tucker pairing for me. and i mean that. when church is gone he looks for some other thing to fill his sad sad church shaped hole in his heart every time without fail ... and the worst part is i dont think he realizes that he does that, and hed HATE IT IF HE DID !!!

Winners bracket round 3:

[agentcaboose]

so uhhh the olympics are comin up,,,, and uhhh all those athletes in one area,, it uhhh makes you think and uhhhh anyway rvb olympic village enemies to lovers what? who said that???

[leonardalphachurch]

you know what. i say that all chucker is actually chuckboose in disguise but you know what the same is true for tuckington. caboose is there. he needs to be there. why are you writing tucker and wash together without their third. where is he.

[its-no-biggie]

please excuse the awful quality and the watermark, i made this on instagram and didnt want to edit it together again. higher quality stills after the cut!

also apologies for posting a t*ktok trend here, i usually dont bc if youre out of the loop its just confusing. but i can always just provide context if yall wanna see em, i actually have a grimmons one already up on my insta that i could post here too.

anyway. enjoy, fellow chucker enthusiasts

[communistmarktemple]

i think it’s funny that you’ll never see chucker on here bc i can just put that on main

I'm sorry but doesn't including popular ships kind of defeat the point? Of course they are going to defeat crackships and rarepairs

Hi anon, popular ships do tend to see more success in poll tournaments, but there can be underdogs and dark horses in any matchup, which is the point of allowing their inclusion! Additionally, as I mentioned, one of the poll structure options I'm considering would have the most popular submissions going against each other first- leaving more room for success amongst rarer ships. If that's something you want to see, feel free to vote for it when the poll is made available tonight.

But yes, ultimately, the most popular ships are most likely to win, because this is a popularity contest. If our current polls see success, I'd be willing to do a dedicated poll for rarepairs and/or crackships- but as it stands, that's not what this poll is. I'm including all ships, big and small, because that's what I promised at the beginning.

I'm so glad im seeing ship art for non-grimmons, tuckington, and docnut ships now. love grimmons. love docnut. love tuckington! but the fact I'm only JUST NOW seeing chucker on my feed? pastrytrain?? sargington????? where were all you beautiful people before ?????

i dont know anything about red vs blue but i want in on this drama what happened what is restoration

The shortest possible version of this. Which is hard to do because this was a 21 year webseries with an absurd amount of background and moving parts to get into as well as a notoriously complicated story.

Restoration was the final "season" of Red vs Blue that to be frank should not have been able to release considering the company had been in gradual collapse for years prior to its announcement and release and most people had agreed the "true end" to the show happened in 2015 even though seasons would keep releasing until 2024. Restoration is not Terrible but it was clearly rushed and had the bulk of its content cut in order to make it happen at all before the company that was founded on its success finally shut down.

Grimmons is a pairing of two cast members which is so ubiquitously accepted as not just fanon but legitimate canon (agreed upon by the guy who made and acted one half of the pairing), like, not just as in everyone agrees they SHOULD be lovers, but like, they have just been stated to have fucked at least twice in series (one of these times got retconned but that itself is complicated so for our purposes can still be considered canon) and are actively portrayed as like, an old married couple who only isn't actually together based on a mutual respect for the current status quo and a general mutual dislike for Change and Emotional Communication. They are essentially in an unstated relationship in universe but what this translates to in real life is a solid 21 years of gaybait. The baiting had been ramping up in recent seasons (a writer for the show would drop his proposed Confirmation Scene that didn't make it in when the company announced its closure) and the trailer for restoration featured the two of them having a Meaningful Moment completely alone looking at the sunset in the place they met. This was The Moment right. Like the only moment they would ever have to do it, the moment they should do it, even if they did it in a kind of half assed way.

Not only did they not do it even though it seemed like they would (like. It had the exact buildup you'd expect and then it just. aborted) but at the end of the show one of them discharged the other form the army and they are separated forever. End of series. If this made you mad to read imagine how the oldheads felt. We felt bad. LOL.

The chucker v tuckington wars are honestly way easier to explain, Church and Tucker were close in early seasons so they were the popular ship for blue team, not as ubiquitous as grimmons but like, the obvious one, Plot Circumstances made it a lot more difficult to ship them, Church leaves, enter Washington who now has the closest relationship with Tucker on blue team, they have a dynamic that is so easy to ship it mostly manifests in fandom in ways that are boring as fuck (when they're not. Racist and ableist. But don't get me started on that.). Washington and Church don't really like each other which means you can't apply the throuple solution and everyone starts arguing about how like, Church had Tucker's heart first but Washington is better for him or whatever, like, very typical ship war shit. The truth is that all three of these men are terrible people and it doesn't matter who Tucker likes because his taste is dogshit either way. People started joking that whichever guy Tucker ends up having a Meaningful Moment with or about in restoration is the guy who wins the ship war but Tucker does not speak to or about either of them for the whole season. <3

LOVE LOSES. RED VS BLUE OVER
