Erehisu SFW Headcanon ask: Vacations

Shipping Headcanons Ask meme! Number 15: Vacation ideas: who decides them? Where would they go, if anywhere? For Erehisu!!! Thank you, thank you!!! :D

Oooh Historia plans most of their vacations, but she gives Eren options so he has a say in their ventures, often in the form of brochures or super detailed itineraries. (I get a kick out of the idea of them using their respective fathers' money to fund their globe-trotting escapades, too! lol) They would travel all over Europe, but specifically western Europe. For romance, art, and unique culinary experiences, they go to France (Paris or Nice). For adventure, mountainous escapes, and shopping they opt for Switzerland or Belgium. I also fancy Germany (Berlin) and Austria (Vienna) as another destination for these lovebirds. Only top-tier accommodations of course; five star hotels and fine dining (per Historia!) BUUUUT Eren drags her into the occasional divey pub/bar/beer hall in the Alpine countries because they always have the best selection of booze and it's always a blast. (Lots of dancing and letting loose with the locals!) I headcanon that Historia speaks some German so she's always adored in the motherland lol

For the ships asks, JD/Elliott from Scrubs and Wes/Lilah from Angel 🙂🙂

Oooh okay okay.

JD/Elliot - Ship it but only by the end

What made you ship it? The show's relentless convincing that they actually liked each other and were not just stuck on the act of liking each other. They broke them up so convincingly in season 1 that every time they almost got back together again throughout the show I was annoyed. (Plus I REALLY liked Elliott/Sean.) BUT in season 8 they focused on their actual connection and the way they seemed like they really would be good together (at least now) and so I cried like everyone else at the finale. :)

What are your favorite things about the ship? They seem to like each other, they've got a long, shared history, and the idea of that whole little family staying together makes me happy.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? Probably that I mostly preferred Elliott/Sean? Heh.

Wes/Lilah - Ship it though I'm not a hardcore shipper

What made you ship it? They're stupid hot together but there are also real feelings. The signed dollar bill!!

What are your favorite things about the ship? The complication of it. Particularly the points where his ragged moral code smashes into her restless ambition and they change each other and then pull away again. They're a very interesting couple.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? I don't know...maybe just that that ended the way it was always going to, and if I read fic about them, I wouldn't read any where they have a happy ever after in any sort of traditional sense? The best they could've gotten was a (short) lifetime of mostly pining with occasional bursts of happiness when they're together, but the happiness was always going to be somewhat dulled by who they are and what they do. That's what makes them interesting to me.

Maybe QiJiu (Yue Qinyuan/Shen Jiu) for the ask game?

divorcees of all time.... them being FATED but even being fated can be erased???? dissolved..... yue seeing that shen qingqiu's whole personality changed and is like "hmmm seems wrong" but not. doing anything about it. my dude. kicked puppy dog of all time.

i said previously how much i love unrequited love so like, this ship is a gold mine. unfortunately i, like shen jiu, cannot abide a spineless man so like. literally all yue qingyuan has to do is open his mouth for once in his life and resolve how mad shen jiu is ............. i want to shake him. the miscommunication makes me CRAZY (shen jiu did nothing w-- [is dragged off stage]) i like my ships to have deep seated traumas but. like. please ..

watching them revolve around each other like giant planets, forever orbiting but forced to stay at a distance less they destroy each other in a fit of orbital decay.... the reflection of light off their surfaces forever blinding them to each other. it is very romantic ...

as for an au for them. a parent trap au would be so funny even if i could not for the life of me be forced to read one or plot it out. can you imagine???? terrible gremlin children trying to lure their forlorn (yue qingyuan) and grumpy (shen jiu) together.

probably a suitably angsty time traveler's wife type AU oh no!! spirited away type au where shen jiu and yue qingyuan have to rely and grow to like each other and shen jiu realises yue qinyuan is his old childhood friend who disappeared unaccountably when they were younger and shen jiu briefly thinks that hey! this time he can save qi-ge, but instead it turns out yue qingyuan was never meant for the human realm (maybe he can be a river spirit too) and after shen jiu is freed of whatever bathhouse contract equivalent yue qingyuan can't go with him when shen jiu has to leave the spirit/fantasy world and shen jiu can't stay. very bittersweet and angsty. maybe a little bit of hope, at the end with shen jiu visiting the river enough times he gets to see or hear yue qingyuan again during a sunshower or something.

or for MAXIMUM ANGST it's shen jiu who is the haku-metaphor and barely remember yue qi but knowing he's missing something and when yue qi gets spirited away he's surly but helpful towards him and when yue qi finally releases shen jiu of his curse yue qi still leaves hUAHAH (he has to, he's human, he cant stay) and yue qi remembers the boy he played with by the river of course but he'd kind of thought the boy was an imaginary friend because even when they promised to stick by each other's sides, whenever yue qi had returned to the river shen jiu was never there again. so yue qi gets the guilt of forgetting shen jiu and shen jiu gets to feel abandoned! there. perfect parallels.

For the ship ask: Data/Geordi, Dax/Worf, and Quark/Odo?

Thanks so much for the ask! Sorry it took so long...

[Here's the post with the questions]

Okay, so, let's do these in order. I'll put it under a cut I think, it's not excessively long but still

Daforge

1: They're amazing. One of the best Star Trek ships of all time and for sure the most wholesome one. They see each other in ways nobody else can - figuratively and literally! Amazing stuff happening here

2:

3: I really like this one but other than that I don't really have any concrete ones.

Dax/Worf

1: Well, here's the awkward thing: I've mentioned this before on this blog but I don't watch linearly and even if I did, I'd be nowhere near their relationship yet. So I haven't actually seen them interact much yet so while I might ship it in the future, I don't do so now. Regardless, I'll try to make educated guesses.

2: "Area man in awe of his awesome wife"

3: Hmmm I know Klingon women toss stuff at their romantic interests. I think Jadzia, knowing this, would occasionally yeet stuff at Worf, too.

Quodo

1: Fucking hell, these two. They were the first Trek pairing I got obsessed with. And like... they're so obsessed with each other. It's amazing! Also, both of them suck. Ten out of ten

2: Heh. I'm about to toss y'all back a decade. Disgusting by Miranda Cosgrove

3: I have a couple, though many have to do with how they do the do (in case you couldn't guess from my url lol) and most of the others are variable/incompatible in that there's different versions of their relationship that I like. But my favourite of those is them having been married since Terok Nor era and not even keeping it secret but most people still don't realise. I've previously briefly talked about it here.

And because this took so long, I'm tagging you to make sure you see it @tea-earl-grey

[s0ngsandstars]

For the ships ask owo

Kuro × Nito

Rinne × Niki

HiMERU × Niki

Kanata × Chiaki

(Feel free to pick only one or any you want, just wanted to give options)

I did all of them.

My use of OTP is very loose tbh.

Kuro x Nito

This is one that I enjoy both platonically and romantically? Usually more platonic, but I do love them as a couple too, it's very cute.

---

Rinne x Niki

I fucking love them, I think they're so funny, their interactions are always so great. They're basically married already. <3

(I can only project just a tiny bit on them so like. yeah. Mostly on Rinne. I didn't feel like it was enough to qualify it, but hey! Almost a bingo.)

---

HiMERU x Niki

One that I do ship basically entirely platonically? I'm open to the idea of them being a romantic pair, but I'm not as into that. I do love their friendship though, it's funny to me. Crazy:B in general is just funny and I love them.

If I kiss them platonically it's a bingo. I don't like kissing much though, personally. It's very strange to me.

---

Kanata x Chiaki (I read it as Chiaki x Kanata hah)

I love them. I love them so much. Still sobbing over Meteor Impact tbh. They're such a funny couple too. I'm not sending them to superhell, they deserve all the good things, not that. Almost bingo though.

[silvysartfulness]

Obviously sxx for the ship ask game though I suspect you got another asks about them already bc, well, *gestures vaguely* they are the ship (as they deserve to be). Maybe specifically the songxue side of it..?👀

Do I ship it?

Yeah, I guess you could say so.

What made you ship it?

I mean, I watched the Yi City arc and there it was? The XueXiao side of it had me ugly-snot-crying like a baby and I drew my first piece of fanart a few days later. And then, like, another week later I was like "Actually, you know what, adding Song Lan back into this mess makes it even better" and yeah.

That was 300k and lots of art ago. 🥲

What I like about the songxue angle of the ship specifically is the hurt, the mutual hate and blame for their shared loss, and how all those complicated feelings translate to a deeply unwanted understanding. In a world that forgot and moved on without the Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze long ago, who else will understand the tragedy, the unbearable the grief of his death? Song Lan and Xue Yang are bound together from their very first meeting - as enemies who ruined each others' lives, as master and slave, as broken companions in a deserted ghost city for endless long lonely years - and that bond is cause for both bitterness and an odd unspoken comfort. Whatever else the other is... he's there.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

The yummy emotions of all that trauma, and how their different personalities will both contrast and reflect each other! At their worst, they can hurt each other like no other by stabbing right at the very most vulnerable spots. At their best, they can bring unexpected qualities out in each other; Song Lan's steadiness offering Xue Yang a sense of stability and security he'd never ever admit to wanting but yearns for all the same, Xiao Xingchen tempering Song Lan's black and white and rather judgmental nature with mercy. Xue Yang's irreverence and humour bringing out something more relaxed and, dare I say it, fun in Song Lan that he wasn't even aware he'd been missing, and allowing Xiao Xingchen the selfishness of simply being human, loved for simply being human. And Xiao Xingchen offering the other two a bright light, his love and his stubborn belief that maybe the world could be something better - even if they have to build that world themselves, no matter the blood, sweat and tears it will take.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I have realized the SXX fandom is divided into groups with some very different takes on the characters (mentally I refer to them as the twitter crowd and the tumblr crowd) and I personally just don't vibe a whole lot with the former..?

In some cliques, there's a great fondness for mean dom Xiao Xingchen, or just Xiao Xingchen as a diva/sadist in general, and I just... really don't vibe with that take on his character. I'm glad others are having fun with the stuff they write and draw! It's just very much not for me. So I presume those fans would feel similarly about my interpretations of the characters. Don't know how much of an unpopular opinion that is, but there's certainly a difference of opinion, so I'm happy for those people to do their stuff over there, and I'll just sit over here and smoosh the blorbos together my preferred way, and we can all be happy out of each others' way. ♥

If you take a step back and look at the MDZS/Untamed fandom in general, I guess the unpopular opinion would be the Problematic shipping of these characters in the first place. The problematic, messy elements of it of course being exactly what makes it good. 😊

Thank you so much for the ask! ♥

[littlestsnicket]

bertrand/ernest for the ship meme?

thank you! this is an excellent ask!

1. they both are *always* wondering if the other person would rather they were someone else (its not true though, neither of them interact with anyone else with quite the sort of honesty they show to each other (not that bertrand isn’t generally an honest person, he can just allow himself to be a worse version of himself around ernest (beatrice knows he has it in him and wouldn’t care but bertrand cares, he wants to be the best version of himself for her)))

2. i think this is vera’s head canon but they’re pan pals post schism. they send each other letters full of mundane things they wouldn’t bother anyone else with

3. bertrand wouldn’t hesitate to kill ernest if he thought it was necessary. ernest thinks killing bertrand is inherently not necessary. (but that has more to do with their views on morality and the schism than how they feel about each other specifically.)

(now i want to write fic for them delving into their relationship with vfd! probably too much of my brain is plotting witcher fic and i really really want to write two other asoue things first… but we’ll see)

❛ do us both a favor. stay away from me. ❜

❛ you really are an asshole, you know that? ❜

❛ i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? ❜

❛ sometimes i think you must hate me. ❜

❛ i thought you said you never wanted to see me again. ❜

❛ if you want me to go, then you have to tell me to leave. ❜

❛ well, someone's cranky today. ❜

❛ well, someone needs to shut the fuck up. ❜

❛ just stay out of my way. ❜

❛ of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ❜

❛ can we please just talk? ❜

❛ there is nothing for us to talk about. ❜

❛ i'm tired of fighting against you. ❜

❛ don't pretend you give a shit about me. ❜

❛ you're an idiot, but... i trust you. ❜

❛ oh, don't be cute. ❜

❛ wait, did you just say that i'm cute? ❜

❛ we're not good for each other. ❜

❛ if i say yes, will you shut up? ❜

❛ don't you have to be stupid somewhere else? ❜

❛ maybe we should kiss just to break the tension. ❜

❛ i'm sorry i can't turn off my feelings as easily as you. ❜

❛ maybe there's a universe out there where we're friends. ❜

❛ how can you be so smart yet so dumb at the same time? ❜

❛ don't think this changes anything between us. ❜

❛ you look ridiculous in that outfit, by the way. ❜

❛ if you die, i'll kill you. ❜

❛ is that a challenge? ❜

❛ ah, so you're not heartless after all. ❜

❛ i don't think i've ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ you never cared about me, so why now? ❜

❛ why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? ❜

❛ i don't even remember why we started fighting. ❜

❛ i don't have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you're not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

2 on the fandom thing

Ship Ask Meme

I'm still kinda newish to the RE fandom and the one thing I always thought was hilarious was how everyone ships Leon with everyone. Because I never shipped that man with anyone until RE4R dropped.

Okay so popular Leon ships then?

Chreon (Chris Redfield/Leon Kennedy) = that's a nope. Brotp? I guess?

Cleon (Claire Redfield/Leon Kennedy) = that is also a nope. Brotp? Sometimes?

Aeon (Ada Wong/Leon Kennedy) = The biggest of the OTPs. That is also a nope. (surprise, surprise) Brotp? I would fucking love it. :3
