#simon my underrated love

[mushyfart]

currently remembering when I made a theory that they were the same person in late 2020-2022

was a pretty dumb theory with little to no supporting evidence but I won't even lie it seemed kinda cool to me at the time

ART REVIEWS THINKING OF YOU

ARTHURTV x READER

12:06 PM

Thats what the time read as you looked down at your phone, you were 6 minutes late to your very first date with your long time friend Arthur. You two had been friends for awhile but never put a label on yourselves even though you both knew of your romantic feelings for each other. Rooms usually full of laughter became tense and awkward each of you waiting for the other to make the first move. However you didn’t expect him to actually do it.

‘Okay this is getting stupid.’ He paused ‘Meet me at 12 next Wednesday at the National History Museum? Its a date.’

You had smiled and agreed however the closer this day came the more nervous you were. The is a big line between dating and being best friends, meaning Arthur had already seen a side to you that the majority of your past romantic partners had never seen. You didn’t have a filter around him and told him more of the personal things in your life, ranging from stories of hook ups to bitching about your co-worker Arthur had truly heard it all.

Yet here you were stood behind a pillar at the front entrance of the museum thinking- no hoping he won’t see you so you can forget about this whole thing and go home. Its that simple all you have to do its hide and wait it out and then-

‘Y/N?’

shit.

‘What are you doing back here it was nearly impossible to find you! I was starting to worry you didnt show.’ His voice rang out causing the familiar feeling of butterflies blooming in your stomach and your cheeks turning pink.

‘No! I wouldnt not show Arthur- you know me I just get nervous..’ You probably could’ve responded 1000 ways and none of them would’ve been worse than that. But (much to your suprise) he laughed.

‘Y/N you have ranted to me about the most graphic and unnecessary details of hookups you’ve had- I don’t think you should be nervous.’

Now it was your turn to laugh. You laughed because he was right, you had been the most wild best friend always claming that ‘between two best friends like yourselves tmi isn’t a thing.’ Yet he still fell inlove with your outgoing and msybe slightly intense self.

You felt butterflies swarm to your stomach once more as you realised for the first time that Arthur wasn’t just your now boyfriend he was your soulmate, the one who had truly supported you through everything and had your side no matter what. So, as you grabbed his hand and walked into the museum together you could only hope that the next chapter of your life, one that you were to start with Arthur, would be a very long, very romantic chapter.

[okayclaryfray]

Most underrated series

[sickgraymeat]

Phineas and Ferb is so iconic bc really the only relatable or multidimensional characters are the antagonists and like all the others are (75% comically exaggerated stereotype, 15% nonsense, 10% comically direct contradiction of the previously established stereotype) but they’re still somehow great characters

[belovedivies]

So I recently read Killer Peter because of your writing and of fuck- The one panel of old man Simon when Peter went to rescue him have me put my phone down and went out to stand under the sun because SIR!?! SIR!?! HOLD UP! GIRLIE CAN'T GET THE IMAGE OUT OF THE MIND LIKE I WANT SIMON BAD but he ain't real😭 let me love that silly man

ao3 tag Erotic Descriptions of Death ao3 tag

the V-line though… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

in all seriousness our goofy ahh swordsman is criminally underrated and deserves more love. simon has been helping peter a lot in recent chapters by (SPOILER HERE)

disguising himself as the old peter and fighting off raphael’s underlings 🥰🫶🏻

good news, dude actually got a prosthetic arm later on in the story. babygirl is back to kicking ass! his fighting is still amazing and i adore his silliness, though i do wish we get more serious portrayal of his character like with yuika/kageo arc. hopefully in the future though!

lmao also were you the same anon who sent me a yandere simon req just now. working on a yandere!alipede req atm, but i’ll see what i can do to squeeze out some crumbs for y’all simonkisser later🥰🥰🫶🏻

[toxicaltomb]

lotf ships best to worst + reasons

JUST MY OPINION!!!! U CAN LIKE/HATE THESE IDC

jalph…duh. very basic but i like it. interesting dynamic + sad + the fics are fire :3 very los campesinos coded also but im not gonna get into that

ralmon. SO CUTESY!!! one of the only somewhat not toxic lotf ships so they’re great for fluff + angst. sometimes a girl wants fluff without second guessing it as love bombing!! underrated also. edit post-manuscript-reading: THEYRE CANON FUCK YOU

rogermon BUT ONLY IN THE CONTEXT OF CREEPY QUIET KID/BATTY QUIET KID. i hate bad boy roger x soft boy simon,,, they’re both clinically insane and don’t talk much stop making roger bad boy alpha who kicks kittens plz

ralger. kinda a crackship but it’s so fun!!! kinda like rogermon but moreso creepy quiet kid/popular kid. similar dynamic to jalph, very fun :3

raliggy. AAAAAA. they upset me GREATLY😭😭 so angsty so angsty. also underrated!! i feel like ppl don’t ship piggy w ppl cuz he’s fat SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT! im sick and tired of piggy erasure.

pigmon. now we’re down to ships i haven’t thought much abt! this is adorable tho they would work so well together. also dead boyfs!!! :333

jager. DONT KILL ME FOR HOW LOW IT IS it’s just never rlly been a fav of mine. i like it, esp one-sided jager cuz roger would definitely attach himself to jack cuz he’s never met someone similar to him in the sense of sadism and just UGH. 😭😭😭😭 i just haven’t thought of them much

raliggymon(???). could be cute fs but i haven’t thought abt it much😓 if anyone was gonna be poly it would be these three tho they’re so trio goals

jiggy. again, haven’t thought abt it and it’s almost never appeared on my feed so ive never considered what dynamic they could even have. can’t rlly complain abt it being toxic cuz…jalph…so i have nothing to say! also rlly funny name, they’re doin a jig!! :3

rogice(???). this is roger/maurice. def a crackship more than anything, but i read it in one fic that was rlly good so im including it! very cutesy and has a nice dynamic :3

AGAIN, U CAN HATE OR LOVE THESE SHIPS!!! IDC!!!!! BE YOURSELF!!!!!!!! DONT LET MY OPINION SWAY YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[im-out-of-it]

I’ve seen book stans shitting on the show (and also CC) but I’m just saying, it could have been a lot worse. I’m not here to say it was perfect except for malec which was wonderfully done. but imagine if it followed the books. if it followed the incest, Simon cheating, Alec being biphobic, magnus not communicating very well and also basically going after 17 year old Alec, and all the other unnecessary shit and problematic writing

so yes, I’m glad they changed the show. I’m glad they upped their ages and didn’t make it all about clace, and actually did Malec well. it’s always so funny to me “tHeY dIdN’t FoLlOw ThE bOoKs” ok so what’s the problem lmao IM FUCKING HAPPY THEY DIDNT

it is a shit show but watch it just for malec and watch Alecs development, these two lovely men falling in love with each other, it’s a fucking treat. so I’m going to doing my millionth (probably) rewatch. I will ignore clace, have no interest in jace and clary (because I hate them and they’re shitty characters as we know them to be.) and get excited about Malec. I don’t care what anyone says but Matt and harry seriously gave their characters their fucking all. they created (I think) these parallels for them and deepened their characters, and added some neat tidbits. stuff that wasn’t included in the books because CC didn’t give a fuck about them until it made her money (just my opinion.) lmao

to me, they’re so underrated because harry and Matt seriously made you endure fucking clace just to watch the show for malec. that’s some fantastic acting 🥲 so I’ll be bitch posting while I’m enduring this show for my favs: Alec, magnus, and Izzy 🥰

[witchlingcirce]

The tales from the shadowhunter academy gang is literally so underrated, I’m always sooo upset Cassie killed half of them off!!😭😭

I absolutely loved Beatriz and Marisol, I hope we see them again!!!!! Also Simon’s friendship with all these characters was so funny, like the scene where the mundanes challenge the shadowhunters to baseball.

One of my fav TSC books, I wish we got flower cards for more of the characters 😭

[soaps-mohawk]

that soapprice reblog omg... it literally inspired me to send an ask bc i was thinking about it and then saw it as a sign

this is random but what do you think are big things that the boys are into? even though it's super common i'm a total sucker for price being called daddy, and i remember the joke he made about it earlier in the series and i was 🤭🤭 the whole time, or also as mentioned in the fic i'm a big fan of soap and his hair being pulled

urgh soapprice soapprice soapprice!!! they're such an underrated pairing, and they're literally my favourite characters ☹️ (and graves but we don't talk about that)

anyways pook, how are you?? i hope all is well!!

- 🪐

Soapprice is such an underrated pairing. I feel like it was more popular in the fandom whith the OGs, but it definitely has been neglected with the reboots. They're all just so special to me though 🥺

Hmm are we talking like kinks here? That's what I'm going with.

I think Price does enjoy being called daddy, though I don't see him as being the type to ask you to say it. He's into it, but he wants you to say it first on your own. He's definitely more dominant, but I could see him giving over control every so often. Like if a mission goes wrong or something happens he doesn't want to be in control anymore for a while. I could also see him being into bondage/shibari. He likes the trust you have to have in each other and he also just likes seeing you tied up. Definitely a brat tamer. He'll bend you over his knee and spank you if you misbehave. Edges you if you're especially naughty.

Johnny likes having his hair pulled, that's a given. Please degrade him. Step on him, call him a naughty boy. He also has a huge praise kink. Giving, receiving, he loves it. He's definitely the most likely to experiment. You want to try something? He's down. He's not about to be out-kinked because that man is super competitive. He's definitely into role play. Dressing up, acting out scenes. All of it. He's definitely made you play hostage so he can "rescue" you and then get thanked for saving you 😉 I could also see him being an exhibitionist. If his partner is okay with it, he'll definitely let people watch him blow their back out. His neighbors hate him lol.

Kyle, my sweet baby boy Kyle. We all know he's a munch. Sit on his face and let him eat your pussy until you can't hold yourself up. He'll just lay you on your back and continue. Will wake you up with his head between your legs if you give him permission. Gets off by giving you pleasure. He also likely has a praise kink. Tell him how pretty he is and he'll be putty in your hands. He'll blindfold you and edge you. He loves the way your legs shake and you beg for release. He'd probably be into overstimulation, for both of you as well. Please, for the love of all things holy peg him. Will also bend you over his knee and spank you if you ask him. I feel like he'd be willing to try more extreme things if you want to, but I don't think he'd be quite as enthusiastic about it as Johnny. Aftercare king. That's self explanatory.

Simon, contrary to popular belief, I don't see being much into kinks. I think it takes so long for him to get to the point just to be naked with you, the last thing he'd want is to take any risks. He causes enough pain in his day to day life that he just wants to fall into your arms and be held. Is cuddling a kink? If so then that's his kink lol. He might get rough with you in bed if you ask him, once that trust has been established, but you're definitely going to have to reassure him for hours after that you're alright. I think if you're together with him long enough, and that trust has been well established, you might be able to convince him to try some softer things, but he's definitely checking in and making sure you're alright and you're comfortable constantly. Consent is his kink is the energy he gives off.

hi, who is your favourite songwriters and why?

Joni Mitchell: Of all the musicians I've ever listened to, Joni is definitely my favorite. Tbh, I pay less attention to her lyrics (shame on me), and more to the melodies, which are incredibly beautiful, full of extraordinary sensitivity, flair, nuances, and at the same time sticking to real human emotions. I just melt in them. In addition to songwriting skills, Joni also has a wonderful, original, pretty voice. My favorite album from her (and also one of my favorite albums ever) is "Court and Spark" - very cinematic, funny, and at the same time touching on the topic of uncertainty.

Ray Davies: A very underrated artist. I rarely see him on top lyricists list - which is a same because he deserves it! Actually, in terms of lyrics he's my favorite. When it comes to wry, intelligent social commentary, Ray is second to none. I love the atmosphere of his songs. Using both words and melody, he introduces an atmosphere of a mixture of irony and nostalgia, which is completely unique. Songs like "Lazy Old Sun", "Autumn Almanac", "Shangri-La", "Dead End Street" (and others) are masterpieces.

John Lennon: When it comes to Beatles songs, most of my favorites were written by John. Starting with "Rubber Soul", his compositions were brutally honest, yet subtle: John showed you everything you wanted to know through beautiful means of expression. I love both his autobiographical songs ("Julia", "I'm Only Sleeping") and his psychedelic ones ("Strawberry Fields", "I Am the Walrus"). His play with words is great. Hot take: Lennon wrote just as good melodies as McCartney, but his melodies were just different - not as conventionally pretty (apart from "In My Life", "If I Fell"), not as "smooth", but equally good. As for his solo career, it's a bit disappointing, but "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" is one of the greatest albums of all time. The way John conveys his rage, pain and disappointment there is inimitable.

Paul McCartney: When it comes to ex-Beatles careers, Paul definitely wins. The number of great songs he has written - whether with Wings, with Linda or during his solo career - is mind-boggling. His versatility is impressive. Pop, music hall, indie, hard rock, ambient, classical music - you'll find it all in Paul's rich catalog. He was and is an amazing songwriter, vocalist and bassist. And, as Dylan said, he's so damn effortless. My favorite albums are: "McCartney", "RAM", "Venus and Mars", "Wings over America", "London Town", "Tug of War", "Electric Arguments".

I also like: Sinéad O'Connor, Linda Perhacs, Margo Guryan, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Fiona Apple, Paul Simon...

In honour of his birthday, I'm going to rant about some of my favourite roles of the global treasure (yes, I'm promoting him from the ‘national’ status), David Tennant. Feel free to add your own.💙

Fourteen Doctor: This might seem like an odd choice to start with when there are popular choices like the Tenth Doctor and Crowley, but this character holds a very special place in my heart. I've been a fan of DT for about 6 years now and it started with Doctor Who. I love Ten but Fourteen is just more dear to me. Mostly because he made me excited again for one of my favourite TV shows. As a character, he has all the trademark qualities of the Doctor - the genius level intellect, endless compassion, and love for new adventures. But he is somehow more mature and softer, and I loved this development. Also, that blue coat and that (1) button - you know what I'm talking about.

Phileas Fogg: Such an underrated TV show. The chemistry of the trio, the adventures, the title sequence music - there's so much to love about this. And Fogg is such a real character. So far from perfect, this man will often appear as aloof, vain, self-absorbed and even a coward. But I think Phileas is one of the best roles ever played by Tennant. Yes, he's flawed but he's also intelligent, so incredibly kind, and yes, even brave. If you haven't watched this show, I highly recommend it.

Alec Hardy: So different from most other charming roles of DT, Hardy is a sad wet cat. He's grumpy, not nice, and just really tired of the world (who can't relate though?). His reluctant friendship with Ellie is one of the best parts of the grim show. And the fanfic lover in me can't stop screaming about how whumpable he is.

Crowley: I was going for the top three kind of ranking but the thin dark duke slithered his way over. And how can you not love Anthony J. Crowley? From this pure delightful joy while creating stars and nebulae (I can't get over David's face and the happy noises he makes in this scene) to his reluctant and vast love for his Angel and the earth, Crowley is very easy to fall in love with (take notes, Aziraphale. I know you love him but please use your words. Crowley, at least, tried). 

I wanted to add more characters, especially the Shakespearean ones (I love Hamlet, but Benedick has my heart), but the list won't simply ever end then. So, I'm just going to say name all the ones I love and end it here - Simon Yates (There She Goes), Dave Tyler (Single Father), Campbell Bain (Takin' over the Asylum), Harry Watling aka The Sexy Vicar (Inside Man, this show was so freaking stressful but I loved David's character), every single Shakespearean character he ever played (even the ones I haven't or probably won't ever get the chance to see - cries in Macbeth), and, of course, Scrooge McDuck (DuckTales).

So, thank you DT for gifting the world with some of the best, most adorable, wholesome, gender-enviable characters to ever exist. (Except for the creeps, freaks, and ruthless murderers, which we kind of love as well). Happy Birthday! 💙

I had an idea of Simon with a librarian!reader and I can’t get it out my head!!! Like imagine…

Simon staring at a section of books and grabbing one, he reads the back for the plot and then opens it to read the first chapter to see if he likes it. Halfway in the story, he learned the story is about a Cold War female spy trying to get answers for the military, while he is getting to a certain point.

“Oooo now thats an underrated book”

The six foot four man almost jumps out his skin, turning to see a tiny little lady,

“oops sorry didn’t mean to scare you” she says with a little giggle.

“I was just saying it was a good read, if you really like that one you will definitely love this one. It’s the second book to that one” she said handing him another book,

staring at her, he saw how she was was a little pudgy and soft looking, she had a bright smile which matched her sunshine energy.

It damn near blinded the man. Taking the book gently from her, she gave him a soft smile and turned to walk away, but stopped at the end of the aisle turning around with a very bright smile that could out shine the sun itself.

“My name is y/n I am the director of the library here at base, if you need anything let me know!” With that she walked away with a bounce in her step.

Simon stared at her bewildered and stunned.

[vanessalocke]

do you think that Francis and Arthur trade their roles a little in the way that Francis is apparently the more masculine and stronger but actually feels more soft and feminine than Arthur while Arthur brings more of that patriarchal feeling? I don't know I think it's fun to play with those subjects and it fits several of their moments from the french being considerated effeminated to the English overtly gay

That's why I ship both FrUK and UKFr. Both are reasonable, Arthur and Francis can both take on top and bot roles with each other.

I have a headcanon that Francis is actually quite a patriarch. To be more precise, in his youth he was a very patriarchal person (more so than Arthur). I say this not only because the Salic code only allows male heirs, but also because French men are actually notoriously conservative. Yet as time has honed the harshness of his personality, he has become calmer and more peaceful.

However, Francis is a patriarch, but Francis does not hold too many stereotypes about women. He believes that men should lead the family and take the lead in politics, but that does not mean that he denies women's abilities. He will not encourage women to participate in politics (in the sense of participating in the state apparatus) because he feels the harshness of politics will erode women and he doesn't want that, but he will encourage women to develop themselves in the field of science and technology, and will not prevent women from contributing to culture, art and poetry.

France is the birthplace of many brave and outstanding women. Jeanne d'Arc is legendary. Besides Jeanne d'Arc, I quite like Louise Michel and Simone Weil, both of whom are known as the Red Virgin, they went to prison many times without fear, and they gave away all their wealth to the poor. France has Jeannette Guyot, one of the women who received the most medals in World War II. France also has Jacqueline Auriol, one of the first female pilots. She underwent 33 surgeries, set five world airspeed records, and was a member of the Académie de l'air et de l'espace. Ines de la Fressange is the most beautiful and gorgeous woman I have ever known. With the exception of Jeanne d'Arc and Fressange, these are women who (in my opinion) are underrated compared to the French women always mentioned in the media like Brigitte, Coco Chanel or Simone de Beauvoir.

Arthur is in the opposite situation. He is very partriarch (and has a lot of testosterone), but in the opposite direction compared to Francis. He has no problem with women holding power in the family and leadership in politics, provided that the woman proves she is capable of doing so. However, he always thinks that those women are "exceptions", and his view of women in general is that women are naive and incompetent creatures. Although he has many prejudices about women, his chivalry will cause him to sacrifice his life to protect them. And if you can prove to him that you are capable, he will recognize you fairly. He feels there was no problem with women having economic and political power, but he strongly dislikes the idea of ​​women fighting in force. Arthur would rather die than fight a woman. The queens of England are so famous that I won't list them here.

In the AUs where both Francis and Arthur are homosexual, they are both still patriarchal but very respectful and tend to protect women. They even love and protect women much more than some straight guys. I always thought they were very pampered and protected Belgium and Seychelles together (in HumanAU).

Both Arthur and Francis considered themselves responsible for providing for their families. Arthur did not cede that position of provider and protector to anyone. Francis in his youth would have been just like Arthur, but as he became older, he relaxed and felt it didn't matter who was on top/the head of the family. If his spouse wants to provide and protect him voluntarily, he will let that person do so (in case he finds them capable). This allows Arthur to satisfy his patriarchy when he is with Francis.

TL; DR: whether FrUK or UKFr, Arthur will still be the head of the family.

Hello! I know this is a bit weird but I’ve been watching a lot of old mock the week reruns lately and have discovered chris addison, would you happen to have any recs for things he’s done? Thanks so much!

haha aww not weird at all! we love chris!!!

he's done sooooo much over the years so i'll try and narrow it down to some of my very fave things!

he is one of the stars of arguably the greatest tv series of all time, the thick of it, and one of the best spin-off features of all time, in the loop, both of which i cannot recommend enough to literally every person who breathes within AT LEAST an 80-foot range of me. britcom writing icon simon blackwell of the thick of it and peep show fame has worked with chris many times since, including co-creating the sky series trying again (which you can watch here) as well as the recent fx series breeders :)

he's really great on have i got news for you, which he's done many times (his most famous ep is probably this one hosted by tom baker), but personally i love him on qi!! my fave of his is series h episode 7

chris hosted his own comedy series show & tell in 2011 where guests brought items and stories to present, very cute stuff (because of this ask i'm about to rewatch s01e04, you will understand why (WHY ARE THEY ALL SO TINY!!))

you'll most certainly want to watch his as yet untitled

he did a few episodes of underrated dave panel show argumental, my fave of his is probably s03e01 it's so stupid lmao

ugh i know i wouldn't be staying true to myself and my brand if i didn't mention he was on a very good episode of catsdown

ALSO HE WAS IN DOCTOR WHO!!!!!! series 8 icon

there's a lot more ofc 😭 but i hope that's enough to kick off ur new obsession 🥹🥹🫶
