See you again by Charlie Puth and all them that was written for Paul Walker and Vin Diesel (R.I.P.) can be applied to almost any and all friendship- Ares and Gregor, George Michael and Andrew Ridgely, Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal, Rhysand and Cassian, The Beatles, Keefe and Fitz, Steve and Tony, Natasha and Clint, Aelin and Lysandra, Rowan and Gavriel, Dorian and Chaol, Bruce and Clark, etc etc.

yeah, this is a fun conversation, actually. parts of it feel like blackwall really talking about himself: your old life is gone and dead (he wishes, he hopes), and needing to believe someone is the warden herald.

but then annette is of the opinion that her life has never been hers, so thats also fun for her to try to unravel. that she might get to choose something for herself but her own choice is trying to close itself off from her. also a bit. hmm. because at this point she desperately needs someone to rely on and see her for her, and blackwall is also putting her on a pedestal, so there's some Clashing there.

god i cannot wait for revelations when this blows up in both their faces

Raph and casey in 2012 will literally be like "youre my partner." And save each other from dying over and over again and worry themselves sick over the other but still say "that's just bro stuff. We're just friends. Just guys being dudes."

Thoughts on certain ships in ygo that some fans don't like to see

There is not liking a ship that the fandom does but technically isn't canon, and then there is "fan disagrees with the actual source material straight up saying they're gay" levels of denial

The Yugi/Joey one always gets me heated when I see people trying to explain why that literally could not have been an "as a friend though" kind of I love you because there are other words for that in Japanese! In English we do only have one way to say it that depends entirely on context for you to know what kind of love is being talked about, but they explicitly used the one that is meant to be a romantic expression of deep love for another person and some people completely ignore the cultural meanings of what was said and stubbornly refuse to believe it's anything but friendship because the idea of their card game protagonist being anything but straight isn't something they could live with.

love that im like "oh i totally love romance :]" when i actually mean fictional romance that i have extreme control over every aspect of and the ability to play around with as i please

I've been really into the sims lately, its kinda all I think about. Part of that is downloading cc cus I now own it legit and I'm missing packs which limits my clothing options. (Im really into fashion so thats a big L for me).

Today I decided to update my default skin cus I've been using the same one for like 5 years, and the only sim I used to model them was Roy. The only thing that matters is if it makes my Roy sim look pretty. Is he pretty enough? Thats my only concern.

i don't even know how to write a post with how many questions i have. how has no one realized this before. why does the tag not exist on ao3. like i just feel like someone has to fix this and at this rate it's going to be me.

[pigeons-with-jello]

I think its so funny that most magnus protocol fics that arent ships straight up dont care about anything besides of the fact that jon is back. i feel like the vast majority that i see are just 'my sweet baby boy with a confirmed kill count is back i cant wait to torture him again' and im so glad of our fandom

Also i cant help but feel so bad for all the besties that showed up without listening to the archives first, theyre coming in seeing jon/archivist and saying that hes clesrly the villain, then they turn to the rest of us screaming and crying with joy.

[holostarz]

my problem is i think most of p5s ships are cute and thats why i almost always am down for some form of polythieves

usually i just lump all the guys together cause all those ships are just so good to me??? and i mean like, every combination of them, even without ren. ill ship ryuji and yusuke. and i also love goro with either of them. ryugoro and akekita are so rare but theyre so nice?? they all just. clenches fists. theyre so good ot4 pegoryugorokita

goroann besties is real in my heart. also goroharu being like the Cursed besties ever in the end like. my god they have such a wack and unhinged platonic soulmates/kindred spirits potential. goromako rivals forever my guy they are so fucking funny. and ryukoto is kinda cute...

i think shumako is nice but its just not my cuppa tea. they are dear friends and i do love the image of ren and makoto being a bit rivalcoded and butting heads over phantom thievery and how to lead the team best. and goro is weirdly the one who can actually somehow stop arguments before they happen and get them to compromise.

makoto is NOT the mom friend okay she is the bossy and protective older sister friend. and she is smart and sensible but not immune to her friends infecting her with Stupid. ren is the mom friend. and the dad friend. best of both things. :)

ren: its hard raising 8 kids when youre in high school and an 18 y/o whos like if a divorced widow was a boy 😔 sojiro: what happened to your husband??? ren: he was lost at sea goro: ren, look at this dog i saw on my way here ren: i can still hear his voice

meanwhile i love futago half siblings headcanon. so while goro and makoto are a little more sibling rivalry coded, futaba is still goros actual gremlin sibling who will bully him to death. meanwhile, futaba is actually adoptive siblings with ren. these two are WAY more sibling coded than goro and futaba ever.

and when futaba starts trying to do similar Sibling dynamic things with goro. goro is like ??? "ren, futaba just came in here. stared at me. burped. and then left. what does this mean." and ren is like. "oh is there food? theyre probably telling you theres food and to come out if you want some. or if this is your first time seeing them today they could just be greeting you." and goro is like ????? but louder this time

i love shujin trio poly... and i default to them being the OG Cule. shuann? v cute love them. ryuann? also cute and honestly v funny of how messy i imagine their hookups being. like they keep breaking up and eventually finding their way back to each other. sometimes i see them as sibling coded, too, more than anything else. overall i just love these three together they are the tomodachis of all time they are partners for life

i also love ryuharu. and harukita (yuharu?) theyre really cute.... then theres good ol makoharu and annmako (makoann?) and i love them too... honestly love hifumi and makoto too?? i think they would be huge fucking dorks together... perhaps.... rivals, even?

goro and hifumi being friends... good shit. hifumi and yusuke being close friends? plz... and ren and hifumi are just. wahh i love them theyre so good. even futaba and hifumi could be cute, honestly.... wtf

and we cannot forget ANNSHIHO,,, forever. my GORLS.... lesbiabs of my heart.

anntaba is a rare one but theyre also v cute to me... and if they arent girlfriends i love the idea of futaba having a crush on her and then realizing those feelings are actually just Admiration and Gender envy. i also love the idea of morgana finding out his crush on ann is ALSO GENDER ENVY RELATED.... we love nonbiney morgana. hope is genderless

ren: my CAT IS TRANS!? NOT CLICKBAIT?

and makoto is always being an older sister to futaba. yutaba is nice, too. i honestly see futaba and yusuke being aspec and theyre platonic soulmates and in a qpp. and ofc sumitaba my beloved... i love sumitaba a lot

i adore ryusumi too like oh myg od,,.. wahh.... the sweeties. sumikita is so rare but like. i think they could be kinda cute too?? sumigoro is V platonic soulmates to me like my god theyre so. clenches fist. honestly whole royal trio tbh is just. "they can make each other worse" and each of them thinking "thank god im the normal one here" thats it thats the whole dynamic. and its so funny.

shusumi is cute too but honestly i think i prefer both ren and goro have somethin of a platonic soulmates or older sibling dynamic with sumire. they have adopted her okay. sumiann isnt one i see a lot either but they.... THEM.....

any mishima ship is super funny imo but like, theyre cute. love yuuki having a crush on ren but like. the game makes it near impossible for you to actually be fucking nice to him so i always get the vibe that ren would rather keep him at a distance, even tho they appreciate him and care about him.

its okay tho cause i say hes good friends with the OG trio + shiho and they vibe. yuuki crushing on goro, to his own horror? hilarious. and weirdly enough shiho and ren?? idk what their acronym is. but. oh my god. theyre actually weirdly cute? but i see them having disaster twins energy. theyre absolute menaces.

If you never saw qi hun (cdrama adaptation of hikaru no go made by iqiyi, free on youtube sometimes) then u did not yet witness the fact that. Shi guang and yu liang are in a slow burn enemy/friends to lovers, including the WALL in between trope, the cell phone call looking through the window with leaves blowing in the wind as they lock eyes for the first time in years, the WATCH gift and breakup, the Went Missing with his ghost bestie on the Mountain so was rescued, the playing pair go, the staying in the temple together and bonding as they do chores, the spying on each other and asking if the other mentioned him nonstop, the trying to get to each other again, and of course moving in together. (Along with, you know, the angst and heartwarming and very gneuinely lovely story about friends, growing up, and having passions for things you care about even if you arent the best, which hikaru no go always has).

I am never going to be over the watch scenes. I cant even express how much the Bad Buddy watch thing just reminds me of the Qi Hun scenes gifting the watch and giving it back during the break up. Just. I mean i dunno how shippy the original was. But qi hun shipped shi guang and yu liang and fully commited to their vision, and gave them a happy ending.

Also it is. The only competition hobby story ive been able to finish. Because it recognizes many people can love things (like go) and never be the best, will fail or trip on the way to dreams, may even need to give them up. But the simple act of doing what you loved, even badly, was worth it. The friends you enjoyed your time with, that threaded into your life, care about you regardless. Not everything is about winning or losing. In a way its like chu ying learning, like yu liang. Its about being with the people we care about, and doing things we like. Win or lose, its worth our time. The montage of yu liang and shi guang at the end playing many pairs is one of the send offs of that message, of the people in all kinds of places in life, who are all kinds of people, with their simple enjoyment and importance as people.
