Nirei and Sakura are NOT beating the "unconditionally in love" allegations. In fact, they're just proving to be in love over and over again with each chapter

[samd1o1]

Do They Look Bonita?

They're going on a date.

(Eddie is there too dw).

Spot dress obviously inspired by his spots, but for Venom this Barbie dress reminded me of his glow sticks from LTBC.

They sit on my desk and watch me rage at League of Legends.

BONUS: These hats were obviously too big for them so Pavitr and Spot Funkos can have them.

Want to actually write out my idea of why John isn't Snake's real name now because I remembered about it yesterday and it's awesome. Like that would've made it an actual cool narrative decision that has some meaning instead of whatever the Jack/John thing is. Holding mgs names to any real-life standards to begin with is kind of wild tbh but to each their own. why is he named Adamska can anyone tell me where that's from (it's nowhere they made it up). who is Nastasha why is it spelled like that (they made that up too. babynames.com or whatever might tell you it's real and they're LYING). Shoot Gunner.

One day you will stop looking at fightscenes with shock and barely hidden disgust and will instead look at them in aw, wishing that could be you.

Its character developement baby~

When irl pisses me off, I rewatch the Honda Odyssey scene to relax

[ellecdc]

Hellooo, so I see you opened your requests 🥸 I am a new member of the The Marauders fandom and you have been my go to and all time favorite writer. First want to thank you for all the effort you must put in for us goblins. I am also very new to even really interacting on tumblr outside of the anonymous option. So hellooo! Any way onto the request if you ever feel like it, I get horrible migraines and to deal I tend to look really goofy with a compression cap and ice face mask on and during my recent episode I couldn’t help but think about how any of your lovey boys would react to their partner looking crazy with all that gear on 🙃. This is weirdly specific so ignore if it doesn’t sing for you. But thanks again for the art you share!❣️🌿

hi sweets! first of all: WELCOME TO THE MARAUDERS FANDOM!?!? please help yourself to any seat and don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have (there's a lot of complicated shipnames, canon vs. fanon theories to learn). second of all: OMG are you kidding me!? well thank you, that's quite an honour, but feel free to check out these authors I mentioned previously. thirdly: I love you little goblins 😭😭😭😭

also, since you didn't specify which marauders boy - I opted to give you all of the ones (that I write for) as headcanons 🫶

How various Marauders era boys would react to your migraine get-up

James Potter:

he'd open the door to the bedroom to find you laying there, prone in your pain

immediately "oh angel!!!!" causing you to wince in pain and shush him

he'd acquiesce but he'd whimper quietly as if your pain was causing him pain

he'd start flitting around the room: pulling the blackout curtains shut tightly, placing a glass of water and some pain meds beside you

you'd finally have to banish him from the room, though, on account of his various noises (poor dude couldn't manage silence if his life depended on it)

when you started to feel better, however, you'd take the sleep mask off but not the cap and head out to the living space to find James had closed every curtain in the whole flat, he had turned on a humidifier just on the off chance it helps relax you, and started a pot of tea for you

"I've got the hot pack here if you'd like me to warm it up for you?" he'd offer quietly, still looking particularly pained at your sorry state

"Can I just have a hug?" you'd ask pathetically and he'd coo (quietly) and embrace you gently as if you were about to break

"I'm sorry your partner looks so silly when you come home to them." you laughed, thinking about the ice/compression cap you were still wearing

"you've never looked more beautiful"

Sirius Black:

I believe he'd get very nervous to see someone in pain whether it be physically or mentally - but particularly a pain that was mental or internal (like a migraine vs a cut etc) because he wouldn't know how to fix it and he'd feel useless

He would whisper a cautious "hey baby" as he entered and move so slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible "what happened?"

he knows nothing happened, just that you're hurting: but again, he doesn't know how to fix this and he hates it

"What do you need?" he'd ask as he'd lie down cautiously beside you, itching to reach out but not knowing if it would be okay.

"Nothing." you'd mutter, and immediately feel bad for being short with him. "nothing, I'm sorry. just some time." you'd correct, reaching your hand tentatively across the space to touch his hand, which he'd quickly albeit gently take in his own

"okay." he'd say simply

you waited for the bed to move to signal his departure, but he never left.

he just laid there with your hand in his, watching you quietly

you wouldn't notice this in your state, but he was taking dramatic breaths for your benefit: deep breaths in, holding, and deep breaths out, silently encouraging you to align your breathing with his, which you did subconsciously

you'd wake up later in much the same way - him still on his side watching you (or perhaps he fell asleep too) and your hand still in his

he'd apologize to you as if your pain was somehow his fault, but it was because he felt helpless when you needed him

you'd thank him for his help and he'd relax immediately

Remus Lupin:

Remus is no friggen stranger to chronic pain and flare ups

he wouldn't even say anything, he'd just adjust his footing so he made as little noise as possible

he'd gently press a kiss to your shoulder, to make sure you knew he was here (though he knew with your head the way it was, you would have likely heard his keys all the way down the hall of the apartment building

he'd make himself busy in the flat - soup ready for when you woke up, tea ready to be brewed should you want some, lights off, curtains closed

he'd come by in a bit and quietly tell you to sit up, helping you replace your no longer cold ice mask and cap with new ones

you'd pathetically ask him if he would stay and he'd breathe out in relief because really - that's what he's wanted from the beginning

Regulus Black:

"what's this? what happened?" he'd ask urgently, thinking you'd been hurt or something

"sh! I have a migraine" you'd moan back.

he'd make a pitying tsk sound and make for you

totally babying behaviour "what do you need? do you want food? do you want more blankets? less blankets? a new watch? I'm going to order you a new watch"

you'd banish him from the room for the coddling and when you return to the living area later - he will be surrounded by bags because he had gone shopping and returned with the most ridiculous things: clothes, food, jewellery, blankets, pillows

"I didn't know what you might need." He'd say, slightly shy

"I needed a nap, Regulus." you'd laugh.

"well...you deserve all of this anyway."

and then he'd spend the rest of the evening doing low-impact stuff for your head. reading you a book quietly, gentle conversation, maybe run you a bath

bonus! Barty Crouch Jr:

"who did this?" he'd bark as he saw you in the fetal position with your gear on

"christ, Barty. please be quiet"

"what happened?" he'd demand, quieter but no less intense.

"I just have a migraine."

a switch would flip. he'd ready the room for you (curtains, quiet, water, pills, he'd set up a fan pointed at you.)

then he'd sit outside of the door to your flat and violently threaten anyone walking in the hallway if they make so much as a whisper of noise in this flats direction.

[lowkeyerror]

I see the shipname a Agathario and I would like raise you Vidalness. Walk with me..

Mentions of that integral part of the plot that Funko spoiled below

Exhibit A: It sounds like vitalness and the definition of that is the quality of being essential to maintain life.

Exhibit B: That definition is gay as fuck.

Exhibit C: This ship gives me a reason to live

Exhibit D: Rio is literally death.

Like it just feels right guys. Lets bring back shipping the names that sound best together.

[haunting-hufflepuffs-basement]

Welcome to the Basement:

I am both tired and a coward and have made a separate account to interact with the Marauders/Harry Potter fandom without having to deal with the TERFs every time I open tumblr. I must make it clear that I DO NOT support JKR in any way. I WILL NOT tolerate bigotry and WILL block you and tell others to block you too if I see any.

You can call me Spectr. My pronouns are she/her, and I'm aroace. I'm older than 18, but I'm sex repulsed so I basically won't ever reblog smut or NSFW. Minors are welcome, but I swear a lot, so maybe don't stick around if that makes you uncomfy.

This blog is for all my Harry Potter and Marauders headcanons, hot takes (and ice cold takes), art, fanfic if I ever get around to it, and general discussion. And yes, I consider the Harry Potter fandom and the Marauders fandom to be two wildly different beasts.

LINK TO MY MARAUDERS ERA SHIPNAME SPREADSHEET

More about me under the cut:

I'm a LOUD AND PROUD HUFFLEPUFF! BADGERS UNITE! Seriously, literally every test I have ever taken, Pottermore or otherwise, good and bad, has put me in Hufflepuff. I am so agressively Puff it's not even funny. My secondary house is Ravenclaw, and my Ilvermorny house is (probably) Pukwudgie.

I put waaaaayyyyy too much in my tags, seriously (siriusly. Heh). Check the tags of any post I put tags on, and you will find at least half of them are disorganized rambling.

I currently cannot pick a favorite marauder. I love them all too much. My favorite HP character is probably Ginny Weasley.

I am very much a book fan, not a movie fan. I've read all the books at least 5 times, but have read the Sorceror's Stone and The Prisoner of Azkaban more times than I can count. I have watched the first 3 movies all the way through once and have only seen the later movies in bits and pieces. I don't hate them, but they're not my favorites.

In case you didn't catch it in that last paragraph, I'm American, and nothing I write will be Britpicked. Sorry.

I love Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but I don't watch them on official platforms because JKR sucks. I don't have a favorite character; Newt, Tina, Queenie, and Jacob are all favorites.

While I loved Harry Potter as a kid and have a deep emotional attachment to it, it is a children's book with a LOT of worldbuilding and story issues. I like to use the world and magic as a sandbox to play in, less as a strict rule.

I don't really care too hard on ships. My aroace ass honestly says "the less you focus on it the better," but if you write it well, any dynamic can be good. That said, my usual likes are as follows:

Marauders: wolfstar (I'm basic trash), jily (again, basic trash), peter thinks everyone is hot but never gets to seriously date anyone r.i.p., marlene mckinnon/mary macdonald (although marlene has a fat crush on Dorcas Meadowes that never really goes away), Dorcas Meadowes/Pandora Lovegood, and optional Rosekiller but I get sad if we spend too much time with the Slytherins.

HP: Ron/Hermoine, Ginny/Harry if you like or Ginny/Luna if you don't, Perciver, dislike Tonks/Lupin but I don't care that much, and I really really don't give a shit about anyone else.

I hate muggle AUs with a burning passion (no shame if you like them, just not my cup of tea), but I do like it when we get to let the wizards use muggle tech and in general be more integrated into the muggle world.

Peter Pettigrew is a marauder and I will DIE on this hill. I will defend this slimy turncoat disaster rat man to the end of my life. Please fight me, I'm excited.

#be normal people it's a tv show#shipping is supposed to be fun#and we have no control on canon#enjoy what you can#and create your own happiness in fanon

All I got from your response was "I'm biracial, so I can't be racist" and its giving "I'm not racist, my gardener is Spanish"

"And I've never seen a BuckTommy fan make a racist post about Eddie being Latino, not even make an allusion to it. Never. I'm not saying there's not a single BT racist fan, you'll find trash anywhere, but here on Tumblr, I have yet to see it."

Yeah because you don't call them out or are ignoring it.

"(oh and yes, BuckTommy has many names! Not always practical but it's not like it affects your life, isn't it?)"

"It's not like it affects your life, isn't it?" They say. Uuuh yes, it does! We want to curate our fandom experience in order not to see racist bigots like a lot of BuckTommy shippers and here all of you are making many shipnames so that your ship is always featured on the 911 tags even we have blocked every conceivable shipname that existed.

"Tommy acting like Taylor and being dismissive of Buck's feelings? Your interpretation but it's not canon"

And yet all of you get angry when people point out that everything all the female love interests have done got them bashed but suddenly when Tommy is doing it he's praised for doing it.

Making a joke out of Buck's insecurities

Calling him Evan

Being dismissive of his concerns

to name a few.

So what is canon? that Buck liked his trauma being turned into a joke by Tommy, being turned into a Daddy kink joke?

"your father's alive" is that not a dismissal of Buck's concerns for Bobby? of how Buck views Bobby?

From a neutral standpoint, the BuckTommy shippers are sore winners. Because your ship became canon you've become aggressive and has become dismissive of Buddie and even harassing people by saying in their askboxes "Give up move on, Buddie will never happen. Ryan Guzman has made it clear that Eddie Diaz is straight blah blah blah."

The BuckTommy shippers have never stopped gloating and gloating and gloating and frankly the BuckTommy shippers are the one starting the fire AND putting gasoline in it.

I stopped at you comparing me being biracial with hiring a Spanish gardener.

Enjoy your life being a horrible person, anon 😌

why do Tommy shippers need to announce their departure from buddie 💀💀 no one cares lolol. Just go post in the Tommy and Buck Tommy tags

First... Why do you need to be anonymous when sending me your opinion? Is it so hard to own to your comments and send the message showing your username?

Also, I never said that I was abandoning buddie, thanks... I just commented that I have nothing against Tommy and Buck's relationship, because what I care about it Buck's happiness and well-being. If that's with Tommy, awesome, if that's with Eddie, that's also awesome. I love reading Buddie content and I also love reading Bummy content (don't know if that's the shipname, but whatever).

By the way, for someone who says that nobody cares, you seem to care a big deal considering that you decided to write to me to give me your opinion... If you don't really care, why don't you ignore my post? I mean, I'm not hurting you by posting something, so... Just keep going with your life and let me live mine? I don't know.

Shipname: Burnt to the Ground

Part 2 of: Una and Ricardo's Wonderful Sex Adventures

Disclaimer: everything, and I mean everything, belongs to Malin Rydén. It's not my fault his characters are dumbasses and lead to this kind of work. Context: We were talking about Hollow Ground with friends. It occurred to me that Ortega and Una would definitely find a way to be freaky about it. I was encouraged down the path of evil. I can only hope now that Hollow Ground will glimpse this in Una's mind and die from psychic damage, mwah. What to expect: Una and Ortega work on the mysteries of Lord Ember and Hollow Ground's gang wars. All bets are off. All pants are too. Suggestive, though not particularly explicit: rated M.

2021 (UNA)

It starts on Sunday morning, for conspiracy breakfast. It starts when Ricardo pins that picture on the kitchen wall, among the other pictures, among the red thread and the articles, and on the picture there they both are, sharing a look of intensely polished hatred above a champagne glass, Lord Ember and Hollow Ground, seen together at a cocktail party a few months ago, all dapperly decked in—where is that, Carson City? You feel like you know that high-ceilinged room, from a past life, from your past life.

But all in all, it starts because you��re an idiot, and because Ricardo looks like Ricardo does wearing just his sweatpants and not much else. So you say:

“You think they fuck?”

You gotta give it to him: he doesn’t even choke on the coffee he stole from you. No, no. The swallow a casual bob of his lovely throat, then a step back, and serious consideration, eyes on the wall-board, head tilted to the side. You wonder why he ever hated those glasses: they really have a knack for making your stomach flip a little too low.

Never tell him that, though.

“You think they fuck?” he asks, crossing his arms, which jut at the triceps, which you notice, which he knows.

“I think…”

You glance at Hollow Ground’s face again, on the wall: her mirror-face, so similar to yours, though harder, wider; her fancier haircut, her darker hair, her straightened, shortened, whitened teeth. Breaking them knuckles to gums will feel even sweeter knowing they cost her a fortune.

On the kitchen chair, you spread your tattooed legs, which jut at the quadriceps, which he notices, which you know.

“I think she would really hate knowing we know she’s getting pounded into oblivion by the Viscount of San Fran.”

“And you would know…” his smile is a lighthouse, a starburst of delight. “Since you’re practically her, really. Gracias a dios for technology.”

Fuck. Don’t laugh at that. Ignore the challenge smile, the obvious taunt.

“Amen,” you nod. “Want to do something about it?”

Holding his gaze is the kind of effort that makes your head burn; and burn it does, and burn it does, as he steps closer, yes come come closer, you open flame.

“Only if you call me My lord.”

Continued here.

My relationship with Tharkay as a character and especially with Willzing (is that the shipname??) is the funniest thing that has ever happened to me 💀

I first read Temeraire when I was maybe twelve (I wasn't very smart from all the political shenanigans and battle tactics, but I enjoyed dragons, so success?) and when Tharkay was introduced I was like 'cool dude' and that was about it. Since then I read Temeraire once more and then nothing for a while before I went back to it last summer and became obsessed (the years have done wonders, hah). That was also the first time I somehow got into the Temeraire fandom (which is sadly small) and fanfiction, which is also not enough for my taste, but they are real treasures 🙏

But wait – even then I wasn't particularly impressed with Tharkay's character or the ship. 'Yeah, Tharkay is cool and the ship is cool, I guess' but that was the end of it 💀 I literally couldn't care less if I read Tharkay/Laurence, Granby/Laurence, Jane/Laurence or Napoleon/Laurence (though I'm always wary there because the fanfics are usually completely wild).

And now I recently started my fourth reread (I said third in another post, but whatever) and THERE, THERE IT BEGAN. JUST. OH. MY. GOD.

"Laurence, what are you doing?"

'...and Laurence knew him; knew him and knew himself.'

BRO, THIS IS THE GAYEST SHIT I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE AND I HAVE THE ULTIMATE BRAINROT AND OH MY GOD, GIVE ME MORE THARKAY×LAURENCE CONTENT AJJSKDJDKDKSKMDMEEMMEJSJ

Within a FEW days, something in my head switched from lukewarm indifference to this ship to absolute OBSESSION, which I experienced last time with Boreo from The Goldfinch, like WHAT 😭

WHY THESE TWO ARE LITERALLY SOULMATES?! AND WHY IS THARKAY THE ONLY PERSON WHO GIVES MORE TO LAURENCE THAN HE DOES TO HIM (unlike any other situation where Laurence is literally incapable of being selfish in any way)?! WHY DO THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER SO WELL EVEN WITHOUT WORDS? WHY DID THARKAY OFFER TO LIVE WITH HIM, OH MY GOD, JSJXKDKSMD, OH MY GOD HOW COULD I MISS THIS 😭😭😭🙏🙏

Um. So. I'm very full of emotions about Willzing, I'm sure you all understand 🥰

[morsmortish]

Hi! I love your brain.

So what are your thoughts on Remus x Barty.

Im not quite sure they could work together so that’s why im writing them together but I see Remus as a more sane Evan. And a tiny bit more of a loser.

Barty is fun. You know him quite well, anyway.

It’s like rosekiller but at the same time I can never see Remus handling Barty well, I think for wolfstar angst it would definitely work. Where Remus went with Barty (because Barty and Sirius do have a similar style. Just Barty does it better) and Sirius is really jealous. That’s where you could add Evan. Because Sirius and Barty, and Evan and Remus. My mind is all over the place so I apologize for how much of a mess this ask is.

Barty would be a toxic ex for Remus. They tried it, and it never really worked out. Unless there were others. Like if you added other people it could work, because the main thing pulling them apart is that Barty is much too insane. Other people could handle that part, and they could actually be happy.

Maybe Evan would work. I’m not sure, but that is not my point!

Barty is energetic and Remus is not. So it works like a family dynamic (which probably isn’t good for a relationship) so all that aside, now I’m wondering about friends. Because I think it’s all or nothing. But at the same time there’s so many factors to think about.

So, what do you think about it?

i must admit i’ve never thought about it before…but the way you’ve phrased it here has definitely piqued my interest. i’m a loser!barty truther, and i see him as the kind of guy to skip merrily over to a dungeons and dragons club after giving someone the best sex of their life. i see him and remus as somewhat similar in that sense (they’d both be classified as ‘weird’ in an american high school), and they’re mostly separated by the fact that barty is extroverted, and remus is not (↤ take this with a very generous pinch of salt). barty wears his ‘loserness’ with a sense of unbothered flippancy; he does not care that his interests are stereotypically ‘weird’, and he will happily ramble on about the latest instalment of whatever vampire comic series he’s into at the moment (whilst blowing vape smoke into your face). on the other hand, remus is somewhat more self-aware- he’s shyer and much more awkward, and definitely extremely self-concious. however, i do still see him as having that same cruel streak running through him that is very prominent in barty’s character, to an undoubtedly lesser extent, but nonetheless present in him as well. remus can be cruel when he needs to be, whereas barty is cruel when he wants to be.

the idea of barty being remus’s toxic ex…yeah. this is the option i’m leaning most towards in terms of a ship between them, because barty crouch junior is the ULTIMATE toxic ex. he might as well have written the goddamn rulebook on it. with ships like bartylily, bartylus, they all work sm better (for me) with them broken up, and i think it’s safe to say i will be adding bartyremus (we need a proper shipname for them) to this list. i can see them meeting at some sort of convention, maybe hitting it off (barty talks!!!! and remus listens!!!!), but, as you said, barty is a bit too insane for remus. i think barty could unlock that aforementioned cruel streak in remus, he could bring out the worst in him. and i think this would scare remus away more than anything barty himself could do- remus leaves because he starts to hate himself, not barty (although he eventually hates barty for causing it). ie- it’s not barty throwing a plate against a wall that ends the relationship, it’s remus.

a lot of the time i like to think of barty as a foil to james, but it’s also really interesting to now think of him in comparison to remus. in the grand scheme of things, they’re not THAT similar (hence the generous pinch of salt mentioned above), but i can see them being drawn to each other due to similar interests or whatnot. i don’t see them as working particularly well as friends, but barty as That One Ex-Boyfriend? who makes remus roll his eyes when his name is mentioned? who sirius despises with a burning passion? who will hit remus with the “u up?” text at 3am? yeah. i can see that very clearly.

[shubaka]

Secret relationship, wearing each other’s clothes and bigporsche if you want<3 (is that their shipname? Do they have one??)

AHHH! OKAY. "Relationship" is interpreted loosely here and uhhh listen, I apparently just want to make Big's life a little sadder. Sorry.

The first time it happens is the day after Porsche accidentally interrupts Kinn and his escort, courtesy of Big. 

“I’m not, you know.”

“What?” Porsche stops in his tracks in the middle of the hallway and turns to give Big an unimpressed look. “You’re not what?” 

“I’m not homophobic, or whatever.” Big shifts his weight onto one leg and slides his good hand into his pocket, feigning nonchalance, as if this conversation isn’t worse than getting shot. “You misunderstood yesterday.”

Porsche steps into Big’s space and looks directly into Big’s eyes, clearly searching for something, but what exactly that is, Big doesn’t know. What he does know is that the glow of the hallway lights highlight Porsche’s doe-like brown irises and softens the smooth skin of his cheeks. He’s unbearably pretty, and Big wants to punch something. 

“Hmm,” Porsche crosses his arms and tilts his head to the side, “I don’t believe you.”

Big doesn’t know why he does it, but he slams his mouth against Porsche’s in a truly terrible kiss. 

“Did you just try to headbutt me?” Porsche shoves Big’s shoulder, nearly pushing him off-balance at the unexpected move. 

“No!” This time Big does it because he’s angry and has something to prove. Big brings up his right hand and curls his hand viciously across the back of Porsche’s head and pulls their faces together. Porsche opens his mouth to shout or curse or bitch – Big doesn’t care. And he shoves his tongue into Porsche’s mouth and licks away every one of Porsche’s protests. 

When Big feels Porsche’s jaw go slack and the tension in his body release as he leans pliantly against Big’s own, Big eases the kiss and lets the slow glide of their tongues turn into soft presses of lips and stuttered panting. 

With a final nip at Porsche’s lower lip, Big pulls back and gives him a dark look. “That was a kiss.”

As he walks away, Big hears Porsche slump against the wall and mumble, “He’s not the person I kissed at the docks, was he?”

-

The next time it happens is the day after the auction and Porsche’s subsequent punishment. 

Ken is up and ready to leave the second Porsche makes it to the end of the training room, giving Big a shit-eating grin and a parting “I’ll leave him to you. I’m sick of looking at him, and you owe me one, man,” as he exits the room.

Big sighs and crouches down to untie Porsche’s hands. 

Once his hands are free, Porsche rolls onto his back and stares at the ceiling for a breath before closing his eyes and banging his fists on the floor with a grunt. 

Big sighs again, “This punishment is for your own good. You have to toughen up. We can’t just let anyone guard Khun Kinn.” 

Porsche says nothing. 

Big sighs again and Porsche hears Big’s footsteps as he walks away. After a moment the footsteps return and something small lands on Porsche’s stomach. 

Porsche reaches for it and holds it up above his head, and soon Big’s head comes into view as he leans over Porsche. 

“It’s ointment.” Big gestures to the red abrasions littered across Porsche’s chest. 

Porsche raises an eyebrow. 

Big raises an eyebrow in response. 

Porsche raises his other eyebrow and gestures to his chest.

“Oh, fuck you. I’m not playing nurse. You can put that on yourself.” 

Porsch cracks a small grin and sits up slowly. “Okay. But can you help me with something else?”

“What?”

Porsche reaches up and tugs on Big’s tie, causing him to stumble down onto his knees in front of Porsche. Porsche glances at Big’s lips. 

“I just need to test something.” Porsche makes eye contact with Big and waits while Big takes his turn to drop his gaze down to Porsche’s lips and back up.

They both move forward at the same time, but this kiss is unlike their first. 

It’s less angry and more tentative. Big can feel Porsche trembling but there is no passion to it. He pulls back and takes in Porsche’s lost expression. 

“What are you trying to do?” 

“I don’t know.” 

Big uncurls Porsche’s fingers from where they are clenched around his tie and then stands up. There’s a rustle of clothes and Porsche feels Big’s suit jacket envelope him. “We shouldn’t do this. Not while you’re like this. Go to your room. Put on that ointment and get some rest. We still have to report for duty tomorrow.” 

Porsche watches Big leave and he sits and thinks about a hazy kiss by the docks, an enlightening kiss in a hallway, sitting naked and confused in Kinn’s bed, and sitting here, half-naked on the floor, with Big’s jacket draped around his shoulders and a jar of ointment in his hands. 

-

Sometime after Kinn and Porsche get kidnapped, Big sees the way they look at each other, and he smells Kinn’s cologne on Porsche’s skin, and it doesn’t happen again.

The anime song seems to imply their shipname is jinsei, but shipnames weren't actually a thing back then and it's also an actual word to slip into the whole "this song is all puns about being gay" so who knows! It's cute though! I've been using it myself because their shipname being the same as "life" is adorable

RAHHH THIS IS SO CUTE OH MY GOD???/ Yeah this ship certainly gives me life as they say >___< Thank you for this info cause I didn't even know! I'll add this as the tag to my art ahh
