Hc that by Illyrian standards Azriel is considered unattractive.

Illyrians are a more practical group, they’re strong and have traditions they want to follow. They live in cold mountains in camps. Strength and endurance is a top quality, and while Azriel embodies this— He doesn’t look it.

Illyrians want someone whose body reflects their strength. Huge arms, wide wings, tall and bearing tokens of war (scars but not too many scars because that then signifies defeat). Azriel is trained for reconnaissance. His job is to be unnoticeable, being a huge hulking figure doesn’t make that easy. He’s tall and large yes, but he’s not that ideal Illyrian man. Hes just slimmer that average and plays sneaky. Not the big bold way that they believe is honorable. So by the cultures standards, he’s not attractive.

Cassian and Rhys both know this, that their sworn brother is considered “unattractive” by their peers. They never really think about it because that’s their brother, you don’t go around agreeing that your partner in crime is ugly. (Also because he could totally kick their asses and hey you don’t call the guy who is covered in conscious shadows ugly)

It becomes irrelevant as azriel ends up sticking to his job and doesn’t have to often interact with large groups of Illyrians (that gets to be Cassians job).

On the flip side, other groups of fae need that man CARNALLY. What makes him unideal in Illyrian standards makes him the perfect man in theirs. Strong beyond what they could achieve, skilled, quick witted and mysterious—he’s a 10/10.

Rhys learns about this after Azriel makes a rare appearance at a large event to let Rhys know about a new development in one of his missions, the crowd immediately hones in on this hunk of a man. Later, Rhys has to deflect multiple offers of marriage from court nobles.

SHE WHAT

the way my mouth was open in shock when kipperlily slit buddy’s throat and i then saw my exact expression reflected by the players onscreen

[somnas-writes]

In my Azris interpretation, they end up being shockingly normal. Their angst and own issues cancel out, somehow. Something in their interactions tricks them into being just two dudes. Even before they’ve fully accepted the mating bond and made an official decision on their relationship, they got along shockingly well.

Their interest and skills end up being complimentary. Music to poetry, the shadows to the dogs. Oldest sibling sarcasm. It all levels out and they forget that they were gonna be dramatic and angsty.

The father (Dungeon Meshi), the son (apothecary diaries), and the Holy Spirit (Frieren)

[somnas-writes]

Zosan as the couple who can’t take anything romantic seriously.

Zoro tries flirting and being smooth, mimicking the shit he sees sanji doing and sanji actually fucking loses it. He laughs so hard he falls to his knees and sobs.

Zoros embarrassed as shit but he also starts laughing because of how absurd what he said was.

They sit in the kitchen laughing so hard it gets difficult to breathe, chopper actually gets worried by how red they’re turning.

When finally they come down from the laughters, sanji mimicks Zoro and they start all over again

[somnas-writes]

Zoro and sanji as duo are special because they don’t act that way with another else.

Sanji prides himself on having manners, He isn’t needlessly rude. He plays the role of sensible and kind cook anywhere else. Zoro doesn’t engage in petty fights, he has deeply ingrained discipline. He plays the role of dependable and stout swordsman.

But they fight each other like cats and dogs, sanji disregards all manners and zoro lets go of his honor-based discipline— JUST SO THEY CAN FIGHT.

Zoro doesn’t let disrespect slide, but sanji can insult him everyday with out major consequences.

that’s why their dynamic is so good, and why almost any zosan interpretation works. They act their age together!!! They’re 21 year olds, they act as stupid as they really are. Best friends, pseudo brothers, husbands, pinning losers— it all works!! I love zosan!!!

Azris fic idea

Azriel and Eris are finally at the stage in their new relationship where they’re bold enough to sleep in the same bed.

Azriel doesn’t even touch Eris until he gets impatient and hugs him. Azriel absolutely melts and falls asleep so fast.

They both sleep fantastically that night, but come morning Azriel doesn’t wake up. At first Eris panicked, but upon further inspection he realizes that Azriel is in the deepest sleep ever.

On Az’s end, laying in that bed is the warmest he’s ever been and he hasn’t had a full night sleep in who knows how long— once he closes his eyes, he’s out.

He sleeps nearly three whole days, when he finally wakes up he doesn’t know where he is but he’s never felt more relieved.

I need another season of Never Stop Blowing Up where the cast get isekaid into another movie genre.

Fantasy NSBU, Rom-Com NSBU, ANYTHING

Edit:

THE MOST GLORIOUS IDEA JUST HIT ME. NSBU ANIME VERSION

[somnas-writes]

Azriel and Eris cannot communicate express emotions for the life of them, but they do try very hard.

Eris communicates mostly through flirting, honeyed quips that would turn the average fae to putty— but azriel, spymaster who is trained to be stone cold, is absolutely unaffected. It’s that Pokémon meme; Eris uses flirt, It was Uneffective!

Azriel communicates through body language, he has six limbs after all so it’s easier. Flared wings that would signal to any Illyrian that he is excited, but Eris, a high fae who knows nothing about how illyrians use their wings, cannot understand it.

They have to meet in the uncomfortable middle ground of actually saying what they mean.

[somnas-writes]

Azriel is in the girls gc because

1. Hes not a snitch

2. He’s never active

3. He gives them scary dog privileges

4. He will literally do anything his friends ask of him

5. Hes really nice to the girls

6. Hes gay

[somnas-writes]

Azriel going insane with his crush on Eris except no way he’s going to talk to his friends about this so he takes to going on long flights and mumbling to himself

[somnas-writes]

Azris dynamic is “I hate him sm that I either need to kiss him on the lips or beat the shit out of him” and somehow they manage to do both

[somnas-writes]

Sanji and Zoro are always on the same page, they exist on the same frequency and are intuitively aware of each other— except one of them has the book upside down and they can’t agree whose book is it.

[somnas-writes]

something that’s been on my mind since I watched FHFY is that Prom is usually limited to Upperclassmen. At least at my school, only Juniors and Seniors can go to prom.

So the Bad Kids crashed prom in all senses; they weren’t supposed to be there cause they were in jail, them saving their families, and because they’re Freshman.

I love when Ciel is forced to be a normal functioning person. Like when he’s undercover in the circus and has to bunk with Doll. He’s just a normal 13 year old (allegedly) and so has to act like one.

I especially love when you can TELL he’s fighting himself over it. He’s dying inside because he has to keep smiling at people when all he wants to do is tell them to fuck off.

He’s my little bastard ass son
