#the canon response is she gets mad that she wasn't invited

GAMER EVE CONFIRMED

(source)

[thatsgay-writes]

May I have a KitxReaderxJade oneshot where the reader tries telling them their feelings just to find out Jade is leaving for training and Kit is getting married?

AN: I'm having Jade not come to Tir Asleen until everyone's about 15, even though I think canonically she's been there longer?

Not Proofread

You were the child of Ballantine and have spent your whole life being groomed to take over your fathers place as Commander of the Knights of Pacalcade. That also means that your grew up with and around Kit and Jade, once she is brought to Tir Asleen. Things hadn't always been all rainbows and sun shine between the three of you. For the longest time it had been you, Kit, and Airk. You would spend any free time with them, whether it was to train, go horseback riding, etc. If none of you had duties, everyone knew that they would find you together. It actually caused talks between the Queen and Ballantine about a possible engagement between you and Airk when you two were older, but all three of you and Madmartigan shut it down. Your hand had been securely held in Kit's as you got into an argument with your father over the idea.

Everything had calmed down for a while a and life returned to normal. Until Madmartigan left. It was fine for the first few months when Kit waited for her fathers return almost every night with you by her side and it was fine for a while. Until one day you go to join Kit and you could see her shoulders shake from the sobs she let out. You immediately run to her and wrap your arms around her. You don't say anything as she lets tears run down her face because you know there isn't anything to say. You had heard talks around the castle that Madmartigan wasn't coming back, either because he was running away from responsibility or because he died. And you know that if you had heard things like that then Kit definitely did too. "Why isn't he back? Why did he leave?" Kit cried into your shoulders and you just held her tighter. "If I know anything about the King, I know that the only reason he isn't back is because absolutely can't. And there is no way he is dead, like some people are saying, I mean he's Madmartigan for gods sake." Kit smiled at you from her spot on your shoulder and you felt your heart stop. Had Kit always been this pretty? Had you always been this nervous to hold her close to you?

---

Jade joined your group pretty late in life, well in your view of life. Without even asking you, Ballantine had accepted Jade into your home and began to train her as well. At first, all the attention to her had annoyed you. You had been an only child for 15 years and now suddenly you had to share your dad's attentions. It didn't help that Kit was suddenly interested in the girl who had come from across the barrier. When the two of you would train together, you wouldn't hold back, unless your father was paying attention. You told yourself it was because if she actually wanted to join the knights that they wouldn't go easy on her. But in reality she both made you mad and made your heart race. The way she wouldn't give up in training, would wipe the sweat off her forehead and get back into stance, determination clear on her face, was kind of hot. The one sided jealousy came to an end when Jade sought you out one night when you were with Kit. She wanted to talk to you and you were annoyed because you hadn't been able to spend as much time with Kit lately but you still followed behind her. Jade spilled her guts to you that night, about how she was feeling, how much she missed her parents, and how much you pushing her in training was a great outlet for all her frustrations. And you felt like a terrible person, all this time you were jealous of this new found attention towards Jade when in reality her world had fallen apart. That night you invited her to join you and Kit and the rest is history.

---

Today was the day, you thought as you got dressed and headed to the castle. Today was the day you were going to tell Kit and Jade how you felt. You wore your best clothes and had even picked flowers from a nearby meadow the night before. You dodged and weaved through castle and Galladoorn servants who were setting up for a feast tonight. What you hadn't expected was for Kit and Jade to be at each others throats as you opened the door to Kit's room. "At least I am staying in Tir Asleen! You're going all the way to Galladoorn! To be a knight like you already aren't one here!" Kit yelled at Jade, her finger pointing at her accusatorily. "Well at least I'm not the one who is about to spending the rest of their lives with someone they don't even know or love!" Jade yells back and you decide to step in, making sure the flowers you brought were hidden behind your back. "Kit? Jade? What's going on?" You ask wearily.

Jade spins around to you fast and points at Kit. "This feast isn't just because Galladoorn is visiting, it's because Kit is getting married to Prince Graydon! Tomorrow!" You heart drops at her words. "Oh yeah, well as soon as it's over Jade is leaving! She's joining the Shining Legion!" And your heart breaks at that. "What?" You let out meekly, never having felt so sad and unsure in you life. Both of the girl, still lost in their anger towards the other, don't really hear you. "Tell her she's what she's doing is wrong! She already has a place here as a knight!" Kit says trying to get you on her side. "Well remind Kit that her marriage is one for politics and not love, which she never wanted to happen!" Jade points out but al you can hear is white noise as you realize the two people you love had already slipped through your grasp. Kit was betrothed and Jade was leaving. What were you supposed to do? You had known your place since you were a child, what you were going to be and do when you got older and you were content. But now the thought of all that happening without the two of them made your head and heart hurt.

Both girls stop their arguing as they see you start to cry and get angrier the more you think about everything. "Y/n?" They both ask as they move towards you but you take a step back. "How long have you two known?" Neither girl can meet your eyes. "Well how long have you known you were going to leave Tir Asleen? How long have you known you were going to get married? How long?!" You cry out at the two girls. "Months." Is the only response you get and you shake your head, hand coming to your face to wipe your tears away causing you to drop your flowers. "You guys have known about these things for months and neither of you told me or the other person? I thought we were friends, I thought we confided in one another?" The anger, while still there, had lessened and despair settled on your bones. "Well I guess I'll share my secret too then, huh?" Jade and Kit share a confused and concerned look. "I came down here to tell you both that I loved you, as more than a friend, for a long time. But I can see that it was a waste of time." You say as you turn to start heading to the door. Kit and Jade chase after you, both grabbing one of your hands. "Stop! I love you too! I have since we were kids and I thought you were going to get married off to Airk." Kit said. "I've slowly fallen in love with you as I've gotten to know you over the past 5 years and broke through your walls to know the true Y/n." Jade adds on. And all you can do is shake your head, not even turning to look at the two girls because you know your resolve would break. 'It's too little, too late though. Isn't it?" You say before shaking their hands off and rushing out Kit's room and eventually the castle. Leaving behind two heartbroken people.

*sips tea* -Soooo, dunno if the ship-circle-meme thing is still popular or not/has been done lately in the DP fandom... buuut couldn't resist giving it a try after I went back and updated a ship template I made awhile back lol Here's the blank template below for anyone who wishes to fill it out too (just be sure to give credit when you're done! ^^):

My current ship opinions shouuuuld be self-explanatory for the most part, but for anyone curious of my specific thoughts & such, feel free to read below! 👍

~DP OTPs~

-Danny x Sam

Yeah yeah, call me cliche/basic all you want with this being in the OTP rank… but dangit, I just can’t help it after all the fond nostalgia for them I’ve had over the years~💜. A dorky ghostly hero w/ a spunky goth girl, encouraging eachother’s strengths & working through whichever hardships come their way, and by staying so supportive through thick & thin… it allowed for feelings to steadily blossom by the end~ 💚. Was it "perfectly" handled, development-wise? Well, maybe not. Do I wish they could've gotten together sooner so we'd actually see how they'd work as a couple? Absolutely. But all-in-all… writing flaws aside, I can't help but enjoy them anyway~ x3

-Dash x Jazz

Most def one of my more… "controversial" picks for an OTP these days, but hear me out lol. As much of an obnoxious jerk Dash was for most of the show… it always intrigued me alot for how he had that brief crush on Jazz early-on 🤔. Like, the girl wasn't even a popular kid herself from what we've seen in the show (often preferring books to people, half the time)… yet Dash of all people caught a bit of feels for her enough-to invite her to his party? Interesting 👀 Do I think they would've worked as an actual canon ship? …Weeell, most likely no lol. BUT, can't say I'm not a sucker for a good ol' "confident nerd x smug jock" dynamic, esp for the potential of Jazz helping to humble Dash in his place + Dash encouraging Jazz to loosen up more & have fun (away from just being the "responsible" smart one all the time). Hehee~ ;p

-Ghostwriter x Ember

One of my "newer" OTPs as of late, I just love the potential of two artsy-inclined ghosts (Ember w/ her music + Ghostwriter w/ his writing) forging a special bond together~ 💜Whether it's Ember nudging GW out of his comfort zone like the kickass babe she is, GW encouraging more "downtime" moments for Ember at home (whenever the rockstar fame gets too much), and then occasionally annoying everyone with their poetic displays of lovin' when they're out & about together~ -w-

-Jack x Maddie

I mean, this one's a no-brainer to put here lol =P Two happily-married, proud ghost-researchers who work perfectly as a "brains & brawn" duo. Even if there's occasional moments of marital spats (-often from Jack's excitable mishaps 😅 lol), the way they're ultimately always able to find their way back to eachother (even in an AU-timeline where Maddie married Vlad) is just… d'awwww~ ❤️

-Johnny 13 x Kitty

The OG ghost sweethearts whom I'm so sad never seems to feel fully-appreciated by the fandom… even though there's SO much to love about them imho~ The way Johnny was so devoted to bring Kitty into the human world with him (even if it had to involve using Jazz along the way), Kitty's protective rage upon seeing Danny hurt Johnny (despite being mad at him earlier), and the behind-the-scenes element of their VAs being a married couple irl just adds another layer of sweetness to them ngl~ 💚

-Nocturn x Desiree

Two ancient, powerful ghostly spirits keen for chaos and grandeur for themselves… they'd be quite a power couple match the more I've thought of them (+working with their son, Reve). Reminding me alot of Xibalba & La Muerte from "The Book of Life", in a way~ lol ;p

-Walker x Spectra

The stern, crooked ghost warden w/ the cunning shadow lady, if thats not already a recipe for some "steamy" chemistry there~ 👀💚

-Fright Knight x Dorathea

The fiercest ghostly knight with the growing-badass dragon princess spells SO much for beautiful ship chemistry~ :love: With the Fright Knight clearly being a man who values strength & confidence, to have Dorathea around for him to admire and protect (& vice-versa with her own dragon-shifting skills)… just hhhhhhh I NEED it in my life ToT ❤️

-Danielle x Valerie

These two definitely caught my heart ALOT more than I expected these last couple years; from the way Danielle was the key to helping Valerie realize not all ghosts are bad, their moment of teamwork once Danny & Val helped to save her from Vlad, and even that bit of them sneakily scaring Danny at the end was pretty amusing to see~ lol Whether as a strong duo of friends, or something "more" down the line, either way these girls def deserve all the love in the world~ ❤️

-Paulina x Star I will never not be a sucker for a classic "girlboss gfs" ship, and even if Paulina & Star didn't get too much development/focus (outside of being mean girls)… well, they just give me all the feels with how well they click together~ ❤️With Star being one of the few characters Paulina was shown to genuinely care about (to the point of legit crying when Star went missing in "Claw of the Wild"), and the way they're always so doting & sweet when hanging out on the sidelines, how could you not see them potentially getting together~? :3

~DP Loved Ships~

-Desiree x Dorathea

The sneaky chaotic genie with the dutifully kind princess, a pair I think could have loads of potential after all both ladies have been through~ :aww: If it weren't for my attachment to other ships (+Arthur & Reve's characters in my NG), I'd def be down to give 'em more love ngl~ ❤️

-Freakshow x Lydia

While we never really got to know more of the context behind their relationship (if they're just a pair of allies, friends, or something "more"), I enjoyed seeing their chemistry of working together stealthily even after Freakshow lost everything/got further lost-in power. If there ever was a chance to see more of them together, I'd be down for that! ^^

-Kwan x Sam

My overall second-fave Sam ship from the series and one I seem to grow more & more fond of as of late 💜While only really interacting a handful of times, I just love how Sam was able to reach out to Kwan in offering him a chance to hangout (seeming to know that deep down he truly means well, despite all his clumsiness/loyalty to Dash). And Kwan being so dorky and keen to get into Sam's interests was pretty adorb too, so I can just imagine all their fun potential as a "golden retriever x black cat" duo :3 . Sam encouraging him to stand his ground, Kwan helping Sam tone down her temper/stubborn habits, all that jazz~ ;P

-Tucker x Valerie

Ngl, I'm still bummed the show abruptly ended this one before it could fully-flourish… 'cause man they seemed to have such a sweet setup going by "Shades of Gray" 💛. Tucker reaching out to Valerie to cheer her up (even after she lost her popularity/wealth), Valerie (albeit at first using him to get more info on the Fentons) seeming to lowkey enjoy his company the more she hung out with him, and seeing Tuck even going that extra mile to take the fall for Valerie's dad during that ghost accident at the end (which could've really gotten him in trouble)… just, c'mon how could you not find see the ship-potential in that~? :3 While I'm ultimately fine with these two just staying as friends from then-on, I can't help thinking of the "What Ifs?" with them now & then~ ^^

-Valerie x Sam

Again, yet another pair that I feel the fandom's sadly sleeping on… 'cause c'moooon, these girls would be SO fitting as a gf duo together!~ :D Their whole conflict regarding Danny aside, they've got quite a bit in-common in terms of their strong-willed spirits, loyalty to their loved ones, and even while stubborn at times, they've got the drives to try & do the right thing when it all comes down to it~ 👍 As well as having their own lil differences that could help give each girl a better perspective on things (not all popular/preppy kids are bad, not every outcast kid is a “loser", etc.). Ups & downs they may have at times, Val x Sam could def use some more love all-in-all! 💜🧡

~DP Liked Ships~

-Danny x Valerie

Probably the most popualr Valerie ship in terms of the general fandom, and rewatching the show its not hard to see why! Both having gone from two bickering kids unable to stand eachother, to a ghost & hunter duo having to learn how to work together, and even their brief dating phase/further-truce down the line allowed for some solid development to form imo :3 I may not be too invested in this one compared to other ships I have for them both, but kudos to the fans who try to give them that proper attention the showed failed on (even if just closure-wise) anyway! ^^

-Danielle x Sam

While their interactions all-in-all were a lil brief, I couldn't help getting the cute image out of my head of Dani lowkey getting a puppy crush on Sam at some point~ ;p Nothing too serious or anything, just a nice lil bit of amusing fluff imo.

-Jazz x Sam

They may have had their differences when Jazz first joined the team, but I did find it sweet how well the girls learned to work together by the end of "Girls Night Out" (gave me a bit of Starfire & Raven vibes ngl lol) :3 I may lowkey be a bit more invested in them friendship-wise, but they're still a fun pair either way ^^

-Pandora x Dorathea

Hehe, the Double-Dora ship lmao =P Silly pun-theming aside, I think it'd be cute seeing Doratea be so in awe of Pandora's wisdom, strength & protective heart for her realm. Even if nothing serious forms from there, I think it'd still be sweet~ ^^

-Kwan x Paulina

Set as I am with the Paulina x Star ship, if I had to envision what kind of guy I'd potentially put with her instead… hmmmm, I think her & Kwan could be cute? .3. With his laidback sweetheart nature balancing well against her sassier tendencies, it'd be fun to see how they'd click imo :3

-Kwan x Tucker

Hehe, ngl… it will never not crack me up how Tuck's first instinct of "YOU'LL NEVER REPLACE DANNY, NEVER!" is almost-immediately followed up to these two frolicking through a meadow lol Guess even Tucker couldn't resist the big sweetheart after awhile, d'aww~ ;P

~DP Ok Ships~

-Jazz x Tucker

A semi-common ship I’ve seen floating around in DP fanfics (mainly as a side ship to DxS), and I’ll admit I can see why it’d appeal. Both are generally smart kids, having helped eachother out here & there on Team Phantom (like the “Frightmare” ep), and the idea of Danny’s bff becoming his future brother-in-law has some cute & funny potential to it lol. On the other hand, though… ehh, part of me feels like it may be a bit too convenient to ship off Tuck w/ Jazz as the only other singles in Team Phantom (lowkey almost akin to Sokka x Toph being commonly shipped alongside Kataang in ATLA-). Not to say its a “bad” ship idea in the grand scheme of things… buuuut idk, I feel like it’d kinda depend on how its written imo .3.

-Wes x Jazz As generally “in-the-middle” I’ve always been to Wes Weston on his own (since he basically just kinda exists to be the “Derpy Hooves” in the DP fandom lol), I’ll admit the fan-content between him & Jazz looked rather cute ^^. Can’t quiiiite put them much higher given Wes’ overall background character-status (so his personality could basically be anything you want… for better or worse lol), but yee .3.

-Technus x Desiree

I seem to semi-regularly spot this around here & there whenever I look up ghost-focused DP ships… which seems like they’d have an interesting “Opposites Attract” angle together, the more I think about it 🤔 Can’t say I’ve ever been that big of a Technus fan tho, hence why this one’s a bit lower-ranked ngl.

-Kwan x Star

One of the other “mainstream” human ships I’ve seen in the DP fandom, mainly shipped through some side ship/NG-related roles. And… I mean, I guess it is a fairly harmless pair for the most part, given they both seemed to genuinely connect well after getting ditched in “Lucky in Love”. But I just… idk, something about them never really intrigued me much to ship them in the longterm :P Not really sure why tbh…

-Sam x Star Saw a couple pieces of them floating around that I'll admit looked cute (esp with their contrasting aesthetics & what-not). Though again, with Star, well… not having a whole lot to her when not with Paulina/the other A-Listers, its kiiinda hard to rank it much higher imo

-Paulina x Tucker

A concept I've only ever seen pop up rarely in the fandom… though, I could potentially see something work here if written right? .3. With Tuck being alot more confident than most "geeks" around him, I'm sure he'd be able to handle Paulina's attitude (which I'm sure in her position, I'm sure she'd probably find a lil refreshing lol), if they ever got the chance to one-on-one bond. Idk, there's still some other ships I tend to prefer more for the both of 'em… but hey, more power to those who wish to explore them anyway! ^^

-Gregor (aka: “Elliot”) x Sam

While I’ll admit seeing Sam’s initial crush on the guy was kinda cute… the fact that he diiiiid turn out to be lying about his goth Hungarian identity by the end (+his sudden jerkiness to Tucker) sadly killed the ship’s chances from there, I’m afraid ^^;. Kudos to some of the rare bits of fan-content I’ve seen exploring their (+Gregor’s) potential a bit more tho… it looks interesting .3.

~DP Neutral Ships~

-Skulker x Ember

One of the more "common" ghost ships ever since the early fandom days… and, not really one that's caught my eye in recent memory 🤷‍♀️ Like, yeah I know they're both fiery punks & became an actual canon thing by the "Girls Night Out" ep… buuuut eh, it just felt a bit too randomly-placed for me to get that many "feels" from them imo. Not to say I'd mind seeing them as a side ship in other DP fanfics or however… just kinda depends on how they're written imo.

-Danny x Star

As much as I'll admit there's some rare bits of fanart that looked a lil cute with them both… ehhhh, again Star's just never seemed to click enough with Danny for me to get more into it (with the most being when she did all his homework to win a beauty pageant… and thats it lol). But thats just me .3.

-Danny x Wes

With how popular Wes is on his own, its not too surprising this one would lowkey become a crackship after awhile. Though… idk, for me it almost feels like a copypaste of Danny x Val's dynamic for most fan-portrayals I've seen of 'em, so I didn't quiiiite stay that interested, I'm afraid .w.;

-Dash x Paulina

Similar case to Kwan x Star in essentially being one of the more “common” human side cast ships (mainly for both of 'em being jerkish popular kids lol). Not a bad idea per-say for a ship concept… buuuut at the same time, just a tad too predictable for me to fully-pair 'em imo.

-Tucker x Danielle Only once or twice I've seen this one shipped, and… I guess I can see some ship potential, kinda? Idk, for some reason its been hard for me to fully-see Danielle with guys lately… dunno why lol

-Tucker x Star

Star may not have been the nicest to him when they briefly hooked up in "Lucky in Love" (on account of Tuck mainly going after her as the "satellite" popular girl lol). I guess I could maaaybe give this one a pass if Star got some more development… tho again, it just depends .3.

-Vlad x Spectra

A fairly common Vlad-focused ship from what I've seen (generally based on their similar aesthetics, in a way?). Seems… alright as a potential pair, but for some reason I just… can't seem to get into it one way or another. Eh… .w.;

~DP Disliked Ships~

-Danny x Dash

“He bullies you ‘cause he liiiiikes you~” has long since grown stale as a shipping trope imo, so I really don’t get why this ship’s semi-popularity lasted as long as it did :/. Like, sure I don't mind the potential of Dash getting redeemed/developed more beyond just a bully… but outside of him hero-worshipping Danny's Phantom half, what else really "is" there to count much for a ship? For me… I just don't see it :/

-Danny x Ember

A pretty popular ship whenever I try to look up Ember content… aaaaand again, not one I've ever been down for much :P. Seems to really mostly appeal to those who think Ember's hot & thus feel like Danny has to have her (+other ghost girls) by-default… which idk, just kept giving me squicky vibes after awhile tbh >>. Not to mention some of the more… "vocal" fans seemingly to also be particularly strong Sam-haters for most of the D/E circles I've stumbled across, aaaaand then it just became even less appealing from there tbh -x-

-Danny x Paulina

A surprising ship I've seen getting steadily popular in recent memory, and… ehhhh as much as I've tried, I just can't bring myself to get into it myself ^^; Again, I'm not at all opposed to Paulina changing her ways & developing better beyond a popular girl role… buuuut with Danny basically doing nothing but awkwardly ogling her looks (+her using him whenever she wants something) for most of the show, like… again, is there anything else to truly "tie" them together, longterm-wise? ^^; Idk, personally if I wanted to pair Danny with a "mean girl-turned-ally" character, I'd rather just stick with Valerie imo.

-Dash x Sam

With how little tolerance Sam has for obnoxious dumbassery, and Dash… well, basically being that in a nutshell lol, I can't say there'd be much of a chance for this one to work imo. Even in a potential one-sided crush situation on Dash's end (and/or Sam's parents maybe pushing for it as an "image"-boost in their rich circles), it just ain't meant to be :P.

-Vlad x Desiree

This dude's basically the embodiment of everything Desiree hates in guys (self-absorbed, greedy, and a creep)… need I say more? lmao

-Paulina x Sam

Again, I've gone over this a few times in the past… buuut as much as I've always yearned to end the "Not like OTHER girls" mantra from way back when, it doesn't automatically make me keen to ship EVERY combo of a girly-girl & alt. tomboy together :/. Not helped by Sam's hurt from Paulina toying with Danny (aka: her best friend) due to one of their petty arguments, aaaaand I can't say I'd ever see this one working outside of maybe a (distant) friendship, once they've grown up a bit better. Otherwise, ehhhh… 🤷‍♀️

~DP NOTPs~

-Danny x Kitty If it weren't bad enough that Kitty was ONLY ever dating Danny to make Johnny jealous… the fact that there's the added ick of Paulina being used as a "host body" by Kitty this whole time (-when the poor girl can't even consent/never wanted to date Danny to begin with) just adds a whoooole new layer of "nope" to this pair, if you ask me >>;;

-Danny x Vlad

…well, do I need to go into detail why this ship's here? 🤢Hella-huge age gap, Vlad being a pervy creep to Danny's mom, constantly going out of his way to breakup the Fenton family/cause other villainous mayhem overtime… just eughhhhh, keep this shit far away from me, thanks =_=;;

-Johnny x Jazz

Similar reasons to Danny x Kitty, this one was basically dead-on-arrival if Johnny's only real "interest" in Jazz was to use her body to bring Kitty into the world with him :no:

-Vlad x Maddie

How many times do we have to say it, Vlad? MADDIE. DOESN'T. LOVE. YOU. 😑

-Tucker x Sam

Ughhh… while I know there's arguably worse ships out there in the grand scheme of things, this ship just always rubbed me the wrong way with how cheaply they've been shipped about in this fandom..😒Mostly ever done as a way to keep Sam away from Danny (and… I guess to just give Tucker something to do when he's not really focused on fanon-wise, either 🤷‍♀️), it fails to take into account just how much Tucker & Sam's differences/attitudes are too fundamentally different to work. From their whole "meats vs. veggies" conflict in the first ep having been the cause of a ghostly mess at their school, to them having to practically always need Danny around to balance their friendship… it just ultimately proves to me that not ALL opposites are meant to attract, I'm afraid >>

~DP BrOTPs~

-Danny/Tucker/Sam

The OG Phantom trio from the very beginning, what more can I say about 'em that the show haven't showed enough of? ^^ Even if Tucker x Sam still rubs me the wrong way ship-wise, I still enjoy their overall friendship & teamwork when it comes to supporting Danny & vice-versa. And heck, even if there's a scenario that Danny & Sam don't end up together, I like to think they'd always be the best of friends no matter what~ :3

-Danny/Clockwork

I enjoyed seeing their mentor & student-like dynamic the more they interacted in "The Ultimate Enemy" & "Masters of All Time". While rather trollish to Danny at first, its clear Clockwork means well in wanting to teach Danny a lesson that actions have consequences (no matter how big or small) ^^

-Danny/Danielle/Jazz

A bundle of Fenton siblings that I can't help but find wholesome the more I've rewatched the series~ :) From Danny & Jazz's growing support for one another upon Jazz realizing her lil bro's secret, to Danny learning to lookout for Danielle beyond her being his clone (akin to how a big brother would, in a way ^^), and even though we sadly didn't get the chance for Danielle to meet Jazz (or the other Fentons) before the show ended, I like to think the two girls would get along great either way as (technical) sisters~ :3

-Dark Danny/Danielle/Jazz Even though you could argue Dark Danny (or "Dan" if you prefer) should prob be more considered his "own" character at this point, I just can't help enjoy certain fan-depictions of him maintaining a strong sibling bond with both Jazz and/or Danielle ^^ Guess that brotherly instinct inside Danny would never "fully" go away even while evil… awww ^^

-Danielle/Youngblood

With them both being the youngest ghosts in the series, I love the idea of them having a grand ol' time messing with the older ghosts & pulling pranks around the place lol

-Desiree/Spectra

Two matured, devious ladies with alot of experience on their plate, they'd be quite a fun villain duo if you ask me ;P

-Ember/Kitty

The rebellious bad babes of the Ghost Zone who'd be down to wreck up the place & go vibe on the town, what more can you ask for in a pair of villain besties? lol ;p

-Jazz/Sam/Valerie

I'm always a sucker for a good trio of heroic besties, and what more can you ask for with a kickass mix of brains, brawn & heart from these three? ^w^ Whether they're kicking ghost butt, hanging out at the mall, or training up for future adventures, I'd SO be down to see it! :>

-Dash/Kwan

While Dash may not always be the nicest/most considerate to Kwan at times, I like to imagine at the core they're still generally a tight pair of "bros", when it all comes down to it :3

-Skulker/Technus

As much as I may not be the biggest Technus fan around, I did lowkey enjoy seeing his teamup with Skulker here & there (like in TUE's timeline where they're fused in-one). It was cool ^^

-Dorathea/Sam

While they had their differences with Sam being caught up in Dorathea's plan to give her brother a "bride" (via-the beauty pageant), I found it quite touching of how much Sam inspired the princess to stand up for herself by the end 🥺👏Would've loved to have seen more of that potential friendship throughout the show ngl.

-Star/Valerie Even if Valerie's not part of the popular squad anymore, its kinda sweet ngl to see Star still hanging out with her here & there. Guess the lil sassy blonde's got more of a heart deep down after all, aww~ ^^

~Paired with an OC/Non-Listed Character~

-Dark Danny x AU!Sam

With all the colorful AUs & fanfics out there with Dark Danny, its always intrigued me of how much people play around of how DxS could still work in a "corrupted" TUE timeline .3. Whether its with Sam being an equally-evil Plant Queen, or Sam actually surviving the Nasty Burger explosion somehow (+potentially working alongside Valerie as a huntress), just imagine the tension to form with her & Dark Danny~ 👀

-Vlad x Harriet

I may not be suuuuper huge on Vlad on his own accord, but ngl… seeing the rare bits of art/fics with him & Harriet Chin (Maddie's old college friend) got me lowkey intrigued o3o. Reminding me a bit of a "darker" version of Superman/Clark x Lois' dynamic, I can imagine Harriet getting more intrigued to find out more about the "mystery" of Vlad's Plasmius half (perhaps as a way to restore her own reputation post-"Bitter Reunions")… coming across eachother enough for some potential "sparks" to form. Idk, I'd have to look into it more if I could see it working endgame-wise… buuuuut either way, I be curious~ .3.

~Stay Single~

-Clockwork With his duties of looking after time itself, I feel like Clockwork would consider romance too "distracting" to his work.

-Pandora

Similar reasons to Clockwork, I feel like she's too stuck by her role of keeping the "box of evil" closed to venture much into a dating life.

-Poindexter

…weeeeell, I just never cared for this dude to think of anything ship-wise for him, romantic or platonic tbh lol 🤷‍♀️

-Youngblood

Seems pretty content atm to be a carefree kid to wanna give much focus to "grownup" things like romance… less it gross him out like w/ most kids his age lmao.

~Crossover Ships~

-Tucker x Wendy Corduroy ("Gravity Falls") Was a reaaaally random old crossover I had that I didn't get to work with much, but I couldn't help finding it cute back when I was more into "Gravity Falls" :> The idea formed of it being Tucker essentially getting sent down to Gravity Falls via-family vacation (as a lowkey break from him being so "tech-obsessed" lol), coming across Wendy & getting mixed into her own misadventures at the Mystery Shack. Can't quite remember if I thought more to their ship setup further, but its still a cute concept imo~ ^^

-Sam x Tom Lucitor ("Star VS. The Forces of Evil")

Ok, now this one I'll admit I just always had this in the back of my mind but never got the chance to talk more about it… buuuuut this is what happens when you have two comfort faves & want all the best for 'em lol ^^. Essentially I see this happening on account of Tom (having already gone through enough bs by the end of "Star VS."), somehow coming across Sam and forming a connection along the way. Both coming from affluent families but struggling to get involved socially in such roles (Sam being the "perfect" prim daughter + Tom being a prince), having an affinity for alternative/rebellious interests, and both having a stubborn but strong loyalty for those they deeply care about. With the potential of Sam even further helping Tom ease up on his temper/encourage him to be himself more often, who knows what other antics they can get up to together!~ :3

How much of a pass can we give writers for writing one thing that wasn't intended to be something different (usually controversial) but it was interpreted that way by the audience/fandom?

Normally as much as needed, but in this era the answer is sadly none.

But I feel like most people don't even realize some of the things they say are problematic and not just because of the questionable morality of accusing someone to villify a mental disorder without actual proof nor actually listening to their real intentions but also because of the effect it has on the writing.

Not trying to bring this back but when the Fell twins were confirmed romance and thus leading people to try to prove they are siblings to Alear (because of course, that's the normal response to that ) they don't even realize that Alear being siblings with the Fell twins has ACTUAL bearing on the plot and would have consequence on the continuity of the text. However, independantly of their S support with Alear, it's kind of obvious IS wasn't intending to do anything too big with them : their plot relevance last the Fell Xenologue and that's it. The writing for their relationship with Alear and how they don't affect much the plot in general and their design or how the writers purposefully made them not siblings to their Alear in canon so that it would determine their relationship with our Alear, regardless of Sombron. And the thematic of the pair of sibling within our cast and how they foil each other. So their S support isn't really the cause of this narrative but more a result of this narrative which is that IS didn't knew what to do with them and made them romance to call it a day...(regardless this decision will result in IS denying the siblings allegations, as they always do).

In the case of Veyle and Seadall, you'd have to ask yourself what DID and ED brings to their writing seeing how 1/In Seadall's case, the diet thing just exist and isn't deeply explained 2/ In Veyle's case, it kind goes against her own character arc of finding herself and becoming whom she wants to be since the brainwash is likely a metaphor (used literaly here) for the psychological damage a parent inflict upon his children when he is being violent against them... I mainly say this based on Rafal and additonally her brainwash doesn't exist just to explain why "evul" but to create a parallel with Alear and their past self... to put it short those allegations are all bothersome in the sense that they show that they don't understand the writing and blame the writers that never intended that to happen in the first place.

In one case it makes Seadall looks like a lazy attempt to tackle a heavy topic when... it was clearly not the goal and in another it would make Veyle's narrative convoluted leading to a contradiction between what the story is showing and telling and whatever those people though the writers had in mind

The difference between the two and idk Bernadetta is that Bernie explicitely tell us herself that her "waky attics" are actually PTSD comming from the parental abuse that her father made her go through so there you can say that the handling of her trauma is badly done in 3H because of how the writing contractids herself

This doesn't exist in Veyle and Seadall's case because Seadall's situation is never treated as seriously and Veyle is never used to make slapstick jokes.

What's worse is when the fandom doesn't even realize that it really is just an intepretation on their part and get mads at other for trying to explain that to them while unfairly accusing the writers of something they never though someone would imagine

(note : me talking about the Fell twins/Alear situation as an example is not an invitation in flodding my ask box with arguments to whether or not they are close relatives)

SNIPPET

on today’s episode of The Steve Henderson Au, I finally figured out i want to actually start the fic! Im basically writing alongside canon for the first few chapters to establish everything and then the plot diverges after the season 2 finale (before epilogue). So this snippet is timed around episode 3 of season 2, after the Halloween fight and confrontation during gym but before meeting Dustin

Tommy kept grilling him for “breaking up” with Nancy, verbally poking him with a stick trying to get him to do something and especially in the showers where he couldn’t escape the conversation. He seemed obsessed with getting some sort of reaction out of him for it, insulting everything and anything about the relationship to get a rise. It wasn’t fun by any means, but Tommy was at least clueless enough about their past year together to have anything really solid or true to work with. They didn’t even actually break up yet, they’re just fighting right now. Meaning every attempt at a sad bachelor jab missed by a mile.

And thank god for that. 

Though hearing “breakup" over and over didn’t exactly make him feel better about where they were going, he wasn’t about to correct him and let him know where it actually hurt.

The rest of his classes played out like the first two. During lunch he hid in one of the private rooms in the library to avoid another conversation with Nancy. He needed time to think, work through all this shit, and cool down. 

He has a right to be angry, he thinks. It's normal for couples to say i love you. It's normal to want your girlfriend to say she loves you. It shouldn't be so hard to say it, even just to lie and say it to get him to drop it. She couldn't even lie about it.

And she doesn't remember that night at all. She remembered him being mad about being drunk, like he wasn't just trying to be the responsible one for a change and keep her from a blackout. 

And she thought he took her home. Did she mistake Jonathan for him while drunk too? Its like last year all over again except he fuckin asked for it this time.

Maybe she just hesitated because she really doesn't remember anything. And it's her first time drinking so she's confused and not used to having whole hours missing. Maybe that wasn’t her playing dumb face but her actually confused, caught off-guard face.

Or maybe she just didn't care.

He just wanted the day to be over.

I'm glad another person linked the character analysis I saw yesterday because that's literally so true.

If Steve inherently wouldn't be a good person, he wouldn't have cared about hurting others. In s1 when he was still with Tommy and Carol, his prime king Steve era he still did small things to ensure others are comfortable. Such as simple things like sharing food with Carol or Tommy, don't question why Barb came to the party despite him probably wishing only Nancy to come, then making sure Barb gets something for her cut and not being an ass about it too. Literally Nancy made Barb way more uncomfortable by forcing her to drink at the party than Steve did. Plus his entire relationship with Nancy was to make sure she's comfortable, he shut down Tommy's and Carol's bickering after the party as soon as he saw that it made Nancy uncomfortable. He sincerely apologized after being mad at Nancy for telling the cops and being getting in trouble, which btw is just dumb teenage boy behavior, and showing concern trying to cheer her up with a movie night and then later showing up at her house bc he was still concerned about her. Plus he was literally obvious to the whole supernatural plot up until the last minute of the last episode, how could he have known things.

Before he invited Nancy to the party it was was implied his dad was a cheater, so he had this extreme reaction when he saw Nancy and Jonathan in Nancy's room, when it was established Nancy Wheeler wouldn't just let boys in her room, and def not at night. What he did was fucking awful and over the top but he immediately went to apologize and make up for it. To say it was all Nancy's doing is just weird and kinda diminishes his character bc again if he wasn't a good person at heart he wouldn't have gone to the Byers house.

Steve is literally theee characters who constantly makes up for his past, other characters like Nancy never fucking apologize for their mistakes but get a pass in the fandom and in the show. I'm probably also a bit too forgiving because Steve is my favorite as well, but really if you look at canon he constantly tries and has redeemed himself from his actions in s1. Antis making up headcanons to paint him in a worse light is usually to paint other characters, like Jonathan in a better one. Literally all those extreme takes come from Jonathan or Nancy stans.

You are so wise. I love everything you said but I especially want to say thanks for pointing out how his experience with his parents’ infidelity (which is pointed out clearly in the season), would have greatly affected his reaction to seeing Nancy with someone else. And yeah letting tommy paint that sign and humiliate her publicly is an absolute dick move. There’s really no excusing that, but he does but Tommy off and chooses Nancy. That’s admirable and shows his commitment to changing and being better than he was.

I will say I am a victim of the “make-bad-headcanons-for-characters-I-don’t-like” mentality and I will own up to it and let it exist out of any defense or criticism I hold over a character when it comes to that. I could make up a million more reasons why Billy is a shitty person (not like he can get that much worse) that aren’t in canon, but that won’t hold as much weight as what he did, you know? That’s why I don’t get the whole Steve SA argument, I guess. They’re just desperately reaching for straws to say that steve is a better character and Jonathan or Eddie or Nancy or Will or whoever “solos” lmfao

Anyways, love this response and love you ❤️

[crimsinsky]

you asked sooo you shall receive!

Ill start off by saying that you have probably written my favorite ever Eric ship. I like Donna and Eric together but I also love seeing how people handle their characters when they're not just one unit. Also I may be totally biased but I think crystal is such an amazingly written character and such a good match for Eric!

Now onto my question (heheh).

How do you think I'll be there would have progressed if Kelso wasn't a creepy narcissistic stalker and Donna didn't hurt Jackie like she did? Whenever I get caught in a daydream about this fic in like an au I always think Jackie would still not go hack to being their friend. Maybe ay the beginning she would try but things would just drift between her and the others. Maybe they still take Kelso's side ( another amazing daydream I have is Jackie chewing up Eric and Donna for saying they have to Kelso about their relationship in s5) or maybe they just realize they're not really friends. Either way I would love to see how you think I'll be there would have progressed without the looming sense of danger and Kelso being Kelso instead of creepy stalker.

Most importantly would we still have my girl crystal and the other gymnasts?

Ps love your stories and I swear one day I'll catch up on commenting again!

Omg Thank you, that makes my heart soar. Crystal was an accident. Donna was originally going to be the one holding the bat but I write out of order sometimes (most of the time) and as the chapters progressed getting there the Donna fight happened and I didn't want her there anymore.

I thought about making an AU like this where it splits off from one of the events and we see where they go. Jackie and Hyde would have eventually gotten together. He was so protective of her anyway he would have been right by her to keep Kelso in his place. If nothing bad at all happened- no rumors= No Hyde/Kelso fight. Jackie would have been friends with Hyde and friendly towards the rest. But there's a difference. I had a big group of I thought friends in high school, I was not in the drama but when I found out what was said in a fight I went yeah you're not someone I want to keep being friends with. I don't talk to most of them now but when I see them I'm polite and we can chat but we would never hang out alone or invite each other out, it's all surface level. Jackie who is very forgiving might even forgive them more and seem like friends but she would also keep that memory right there of your "best friend" knew your BF was cheating and didn't tell you and didn't try to talk to your for 2-3 months or whatever I did there. I think she could possibly forgive Eric and Fez because they weren't friends before, but Donna and Kelso had more responsibility in this situation.

Now if Kelso did still spread the rumors cuz he's a guy I can see doing that, that means Jackie was again put into a dangerous situation. He would be a never again. She might be civil at best but she will never speak to him if she can avoid it. Even if Hyde didn't fight him they'd still be done.

The tricky part is the fight kind of kickstarted them being a couple so I don't know when they would finally confess without it, but they'd figure it out eventually and then a fight would happen cuz Kelso would see Jackie as his, so that part is similar to canon. Eric however would notice Hyde's behavior and know he was into Jackie before anything was official and he would not think they have to tell Kelso. Donna would probably be on Kelso's side and I can see that being the new Jackie/Donna fight and then they're done like in my story.

Eric and Donna would not be agreeing here about their friends. If Jackie and Donna are fighting Eric has to see Hyde without Donna. She would be mad about being excluded and Eric would essentially say it's her fault for pestering Jackie, they fight they breakup.

So I guess pretty much the fights all happen and friendships end just at different points of the story.

Now for the most important question Crystal- (I hope I'm remembering this right) Jackie and Hyde would still be together. The cheerleaders wouldn't like is and say something, and she'd still want to quit. Leaving basically friendless Jackie with a team of supportive lovely girls and an opening for a best friend she could hang out with. And in hanging out, obviously her boyfriend would be there sometimes, and his best friend would have to be there sometimes and comic con is still going to happen and they're the same but without the psychological trauma.

I looked at my Works page last night and realized I haven't updated this since 2021. It's not been abandoned, and I've worked on it sporadically, but my brain has just not been in it. I might post what I have soon just to post something even if it's not 100%.

[kurorealciel]

I still don't get where the "he sees her as a weapon and property" argument come from.

We don't have R!C's POV. We don't have anything beyond "theories".

The only thing we have about their relationship in canon;

They were great playmates who enjoy each other company enough to play girly games like playing house as R!C confirmed in ch99.5. (I bet he was playing wife lmao, I mean how else he was supposed to learn handling knives otherwise?)

Lizzie doesn't have bad memories with him, except that time he mentioned he's scared of physically strong girls which he didn't say with the intention of hurting her.

They actually talked about how their days went, which is how Lizzie knew about O!C not going to the boat trip. Something externally lacking in her relationship with O!C. Communication, you know.

Lizzie knew many things about R!C, like his favourite flavour and such. All telling us they were pretty much good friends.

As of now, well....were exactly did he use her? I mean, she met with him by chance. She wasn't meant to be there if it wasn't for Green-something who invited Ed. Fighting Sebastian? That was her choice. Pointing her finger at O!C? That was her choice too. She literally started sobbing loudly at the mere thought of "if Ciel died again." If R!C doesn't trust her and only sees her as a weapon, he wouldn't have let her go home as she knows the TRUTH and her partners would definitely believe her words over his. He would've kept a close eye on her and never let her out if he didn't believe she would keep his secrets. I think he considers her an "ally." I dunno about love, but he is kinder to her than his own twin lol. Probably because she chose him or due to his condition as he never had bad feelings towards her when he was young. Regardless, I heavily disagree with "weapon" part as it undermines her will and decisions.

Property? She's not even relevant to the twins' game. Neither our!ciel or him mentioned to reclaim her when they talked about what belongs to them; Earl title, watchdog duties...etc. R!C's response to Edward too, wasn't possessive. You would think he would say something like "She's my fiancee, of course she would stay with me." Or something along this line. Instead, he showed gratitude. When she wanted to stay, he didn't tell her off or order her either. He assured her he was fine which is the root of her worries ("I am sorry, Ciel. I can't save you..")

I am not saying he can't be possessive or he can't objectify her in the future but I am just getting tired how people attach those claims to him just because he's the-so-called "evil twin".

As for O!C, that's a misconception this fandom accepted as truth. Our!Ciel does NOT admire her skills nor acknowledge her. Here's your proof;

"Knowing lizzie", he said. This is how much faith he has in her abilities. Even Sebastian acknowledged her better than him both here and when they fought in the hall.

People confuse indifference with acceptance and acknowledgement. Our!Ciel doesn't care if she was strong or not, it was a trivia piece of information to him which he ditched aside and continued his mission. Which is why right after that arc he was still thinking of her as the same weak girl she was in ch3.

O!C belittle her intelligence and think she's easily rattled who gets brainwashed with ridiculous ideas. Suddenly, he forgot all about the girl who fought Zombies with her under-garments and how strong her resolve to protect Ciel was. She spent three years glued to him and it NEVER crossed his mind that maybe she's there because of a valid and strong reason. That the girl wouldn't just run away and leave him for something like songs and fortune tellings. And Edward agreeing is a disaster.

He didn't consider it to the very end.

Even thought he would get her back with ridiculous show and got really mad when he didn't win her. Guess who is the closest to the word "possessive".

Did I mention he's scared of her? And doesn't want her to get more powerful?

Comedy? I can pass it as that. But why people are more inclined to interpret a child's word as misogyny but two separate scenes of O!C being afraid of her and doesn't want her to get any stronger - as nothing.

Sorry, I forgot I was reblogging your post. You probably don't care about this topic anyways.

It's just I am done with Cielizzy shippers.

🛳️ Cielizzy !

🚢 to discuss a specific ship

First off, which Ciel?

The real Ciel is betrothed to her, but I don’t think he ever would have seen her as much more than property and a weapon. Now, that’s definitely all he treats her as. And he’s technically a walking and talking corpse, so I don’t see marriage and kids in their future.

Our earl, “Ciel”, appreciates her skills, but I don’t think he actually wants to be with her. He might have once wished to, but she was his brother’s fiancée, and after making the demon contract, he has no expectations of living long enough to marry anyone. It was an obligation to be her fiancé, since he was pretending to be his brother, and it felt like a burden. He will protect her, and he might even love her, but they probably aren’t meant to end up together, even if she comes around to see what’s really going on with our earl and the reasons for his deception. Not even if they both live.

Let bizarre doll real Ciel be destroyed. Let the demon get his main course from our earl. Let Lizzie live to adulthood and find love elsewhere... on her own terms. (🤞Lizzipps🤞)
