#this duo is so underrated tbh

[genderfluiddonatello]

On a mission ;D

Bonus:

Mikey has thrown both a skyscraper and a cruise ship, so it’s safe to say he can lift Raph, and people don’t talk about it enough

[legendoflozer]

Legend and Sky as a duo is so funny to me!!

Red to the last pic

[jewelthenerd]

Absolutely NOBODY asked for this but Papaya trio sketches because for some reason out of ALL the characters in Ninjago my brain could’ve picked to latch on to, it chose the three who have never canonically met

I’m sorry but I love them dearly

I also apologize for not allowing any character that I draw to NOT have at least one inhuman trait, as you can see Morro got the worst of it here

[apollos-boyfriend]

Speaking of Tr!purp, in yesterday's stream Pili said he might purpled if/when he is logging on because his faction needs more and better people so who knows fingers crossed possibly after holdays

why does everyone want him. no one should want that thang in their faction. he should be paying people to let him join them. why is he the world's most wanted cubito

[smallidarityfan]

sigh....... smallidarity crumbs.....

(I MISS THEM SO MUCH)

Dazai and Ranpo: The Two Geniuses of the ADA

The thought about making a post about Dazai and Ranpo's teamwork has been plaguing my mind for a while now, and so I finally found some time and decided to go through with it.

So let's talk about one of my favourite underrated duos for a moment. The two geniuses of the ADA- Dazai and Ranpo. Two people who make a wonderful team and are actually, in my opinion, the backbone of the agency.

What I find interesting is that (though I believe that Dazai respects and admires all members of the ADA) Dazai openly admires Ranpo A LOT. He's always quick to praise Ranpo (basically fanboying over him and it's quite adorable to see Dazai gush over someone like that other than Oda) and in 'Dazai's Entrance Exam' we see him being surprised over the fact that Ranpo's ability is not actually an ability and we see him further praise Ranpo's intellect after finding that out.

Despite the fact that Dazai is a huge mystery, even to the people around him, Ranpo figured out that there was something up with Dazai in just a single glance (in 'Dazai's entrance exam'). And despite knowing that Dazai was probably hiding a sinister past, he didn't press him any further for details (probably in order to respect his privacy or his wish to not disclose his past OR maybe due to the the fact that knowing Dazai, he most likely wouldn't answer truthfully even if questioned about it)

What I also love is that even though both of them are extremely intelligent, their intellect differs in such a way that Ranpo is a master of deduction and Dazai is a master of manipulation (as stated by Kunikida in 'The Daily Routine of the Detective Agency'). However, one thing both of them share in common is that they both felt isolated due to their nature.

They may have limited interactions but their interactions are always my favourite, for instance-

1. Dazai's entrance exam - Dazai's admiration and respect towards Ranpo

2. Season 1 - Murder on D-Street - Dazai showing a good understanding of Ranpo's deduction process and acknowledging that Ranpo caught onto more details than him

3. Season 2 - "Mountains or sea?" " Sea. "

Showing their unspoken communication. They can read each other's minds at this point lol.

4. Season 3 - Ranpo basically acknowledging that Dazai would be a tough opponent to go up against by comparing Fyodor to him (sort of praising his intellect in a way)

5. Season 5 - The Strongest Man in the Agency- Ranpo

Dazai keeping an eye on Fyodor while leaving the rest to Ranpo

Dazai relying on his allies- trusting Ranpo to negotiate with Bram in order to undo the vampire curse.

6. Dead Apple - Ranpo seeing through Dazai's plan beforehand.

7. 55 minutes - Seeing through upcoming events beforehand, one thing Dazai made sure was to inform Ranpo about the whole fiasco on Standard Island in order to save the Agency in the end.

Also, sidenote: I found out that the Dazai and Ranpo duo is named Souheki, which translates to double jade. Now, I'm not sure if this information is fanon or canon (feels more like fanon tbh but I really like it because it's a pretty name)

Anyway, one thing we can say for sure is that as long as the two geniuses of the Agency- Souheki work together, the ADA will most likely remain undefeated cause no one really does it like them

Lastly, just some food for thought. I've always wondered how Dazai would react if he found out that Ranpo met Oda TWICE and the second time he met him was right before Oda went on to his certain death.

Honestly, I would LOVE to see more fleshed out and direct interactions between these two.

thoughts on having a threesome with seungkwan/chan? I think it’d be so hot with them egging each other on 🥵 (also as a seungkwan girlie I am starving for smutty content I feel like he’s so underrated 😭)

honestly, this is a criminally underrated duo that needs more recognition.

i think chan would be the one who does most of the egging tbh, he knows exactly what to do and say to get both you and seungkwan going, and honestly? neither of you are mad about it. he's also always got this cocky smirk on his lips too.

i think there would be a Lot of teasing and edging too, especially from seungkwan. he would bicker constantly with chan, and I think it would cause a build up of anger which is then in turn taken out on you and your body (not mad about it tho)

in their own aspects, i think chan would be the more dominating one, but would also draw back respectfully to let seungkwan have a turn with you as well. he'd spend a lot of time teasing you, flicking your nipples, leaving pink and red blooming marks on your skin., etc.

seungkwan on the other hand, would be much gentler but hold a sense of possessiveness about him. he doesn't go as far with the teasing as chan does, but he would definitely be giving chan the side eye if he got too close.

in short, it would be filled with lust and passion, and fueled by rage and jealousy

leo and mikey, treat

(fav duo tbh, pretty underrated)

More Sidelined AU! Are you sick of me yet? Hopefully not because this has consumed my brain.

Part 1

Part 2

We're jumping ahead a bit in time to hopefully give you guys a bit more idea of The Flavor of this AU. And also to give it a bit of a happier note. It's not all doom and gloom!

No content warnings to speak of on this one

---

Mikey lands on the roof and powers on his earpiece, whispering, "Mikey in position. Can you hear me, Base? Come in Base."

"Helloooo New York City," comes Leo's voice, loud and clear. "You're tuning into L.A.I.R 179.12, with your host, DJ Neon Leon! Bringing you the hottest rock from the other side of the millennia."

Mikey snickers, then tries to pull himself back together. "Leo, come on! I'm here."

"Who?"

He sighs, even though he isn't mad at all. "I'm here, DJ Neon Leon."

"Ohohoho, excellent." He hears the click of typing, and then Leo says, "Can you get me visuals, Shelldon?"

"Right away, Neon Leon," Shelldon's voice crackles through the comms. There's a moment of silence, and Mikey can just imagine Leo rolling his chair around his "command center."

(He and Donnie had spent ages building it to look like the bridge of the S.S. Starbolt, with added mobility access, of course. Leo loves it as much as Donnie loves his lab.)

"Got your visuals, dudes," says Shelldon. There's some more typing from Leo's end, then he says, "Alright, Miguel, you should see two guards coming around the building riiiiight... now!"

Sure enough, two guards in plainclothes circle either side of the old apartment building across the street. Mikey watches as the two of them meet in front of the entrance, exchange a few words, then turn and head back the way they came.

"Right on time, Leo."

"Perfect, we're synced." Some more typing, and then, "The rooftop will be clear - let me know when you're over there and I'll get you inside."

"Roger that," he says. "Mikey out." Then he clicks his earpiece to silenced.

A hop, skip, and a jump later he's on the opposite roof. There's a door here, and he edges toward it before contacting Leo again.

"I'm here!"

"Alright... Disabling alarms... now!" Mikey can just see how dramatically he must have pushed the button. "Check the door to see if it's locked."

Mikey reaches out and jiggles the handle, but it doesn't budge. "Locked."

"Alright, no problem - you got your lockpicks?"

"Yep!"

"Remember what I taught you?"

"Yeah, I got it."

"Alright. Make me proud, little bro."

Mikey grins, pulling his lockpicking kit out of his gear. It takes him a few minutes, because he's nowhere near as fast at this as Leo is, but he gets it done without needing to ask for help. The training Leo made him go through is still fresh in his mind.

"Alright, I'm in," he says as he slips through the door. He's in a deserted stairwell, but just to be safe he crouches down into the shadows near the wall.

"So far, so good. You need to go down two flights of stairs. No guards are coming around right now, but keep it quiet just in case."

"Don't worry, I'll be silent as a mouse!"

"Knowing Dad that's not giving me as much confidence as you think."

Mikey giggles, then sucks in a breath and gets his game face on. Right. Silent. Ninja skills GO.

He does manage to make it to the right floor without major incident. There's no one in the hall when he enters, looking at the rows of numbered doors. He doesn't know why this is where the artifact is being kept hidden, but it doesn't matter.

"According to our intel, you should be looking for door four-oh-nine," says Leo. "The floor's clear, so get goin'."

"Got it," whispers Mikey, then hurries along in a silent crouch to the door Leo specified. He stops when he gets there, hissing in disappointment.

"What's up?"

"There's some kind of keypad lock."

"No problem. Just hook Donnie's doohickey in there."

Donnie would definitely hate it if he heard them calling it a "doohickey," and that makes Mikey grin. He pulls it out of his gear (it looks like a USB stick, but slightly thinner) and slips it into the maintenance slot on the keypad.

"Alriiight, hacking in progress," says Leo. "Big solo mish is going pretty smoothly so far, huh?"

"Yep," says Mikey proudly. "Told you guys I got this."

"That you did. Oh, and... alakazam!"

There's a click as he says it, then the red light on the keypad turns green. Mikey grins and opens the door, slipping inside the dusty apartment.

"You're getting pretty good at that hacking thing."

"Uh, you know I don't actually hack anything, right bud? I just get Shelly here to do it for me, or shoot it off to Dee if it's too complex."

"Don't sell yourself so short, dude!" says Shelldon. "You're picking it up real quick!"

"Ugh, don't say that. It makes me sound like nerd."

Mikey laughs again, searching the apartment for... well, he's not sure exactly. But he's pretty sure he'll know it when he sees it.

"What's the Foot Clan want this thing for, anyway?" he asks.

"Ours is not to question why, Miguel. I'm leaving that question for Donnie to answer."

"Mm... guess so..." He's about to say something else, but then he feels... something. Like a pulse, getting stronger as he moves toward a closet.

"...I think... I can feel it."

"Feel it?"

"Yeah... it's like..." He frowns, moving forward. "Like it's calling to me."

He opens the closet to find a safe. It also has an electronic lock, so once again he inserts the doohickey. The safe door opens with a click, and he peers inside.

There's only one item: a glittering green stone, with markings he doesn't understand carved in its surface. The pulse is super strong now, waves of energy washing over Mikey. Whatever this thing is, it's definitely powerful.

"I found it!" he says to Leo, a little louder than he should. He reaches in and wraps his fingers around it.

"Great! Hold on, just let me see if-"

Before he finishes his sentence, Mikey pulls the stone out - and immediately a loud alarm starts blaring, making him jump.

"What the heck is that!?" he yelps, jumping to his feet. He hears Leo curse on the other end of the line.

"Pressure alarm. Get out of there!"

The windows are barred - it's why he didn't come in that way in the first place. Mikey has no choice but to go back the way he came, dashing into the hallway. He turns on his heel and is making for the stairwell when his earpiece crackles again.

"No good, they're coming up the stairs."

"Then where am I supposed to go!?" he asks, frantic. All the windows are barred in the hallway, too, so that's no good.

"Okay, okay, hold on... oh, I got it! Opposite direction, about five doors down. Laundry chute."

Mikey sprints. Just as he hears the door of the stairwell open, he's tipping into the chute, pulling his limbs into his shell.

Getting chased by guards? No fun. Sliding down a laundry chute? Very fun.

"Whoooohoohooo!" he cheers when he reaches the bottom, landing in a pile of old rags and t-shirts. "That was awesome!"

"I remember having a distinctly less fun time the last time I had to do that," says Leo. "Anyway, stay there. I'm going to set off the roof access alarms and lure the guards up top, then you go up the stairs and slip out the front. Got it?"

"Got it!"

Leo's plan goes perfectly, and within a few minutes he's back outside. One later and he's back on the rooftops, running to safety.

"Yessss!" he yells once he's finally far enough away, jumping in the air and pumping his fist. "Mission successful baby!"

"I knew you could do it, little bro!" cheers Leo, his voice full of pride, and it makes Mikey beam.

"Couldn't have done it without you, Leo," he says back, truthfully.

It takes Leo a second to answer, which puts the smallest damper on Mikey's enthusiasm, but finally he comes back with, "Sure thing. You know I'm always here to help."

It's not perfect. But it's getting better. Leo is getting better, every day.

Mikey's celebratory mood cannot be quashed. He whoops again, eliciting laughs from Leo's end.

"Alright, now get your butt home before Raph freaks out. He's walked past my door twelve times."

"Thirteen," Shelldon corrects.

"Thirteen!" Leo echoes.

"You got it! Mikey out!"

He clicks the earpiece to silent, then runs and jumps to the next roof with an extra spring in his step. His solo mission was a complete success!

Of course, no missions were truly solo anymore. Not with his faithful older brother ever in his ear.

[silasintheprairie]

sasappis and alberta are so underrated as a duo. friendship of all time tbh. they deserve more appreciation

[bloodpen-to-paper]

Underrated QSMP Duos/Groups

Tina and Forever

Since day one Tina has had a soft spot for Forever, of which she stated during the Bagina date. She talked about how much of an impression he made on her when he welcomed them to the server, and she really did feel welcomed by his presence. During the Happy Pills arc, she was probably the most consistent person to ask and worry about his state outside of the Curing squad

Felps and Maxo

Fofoquieros who gossip about other people's love lives, enough said

Maxo and Baghera

They can match each others' energy so well in both comedy and with lore and investigations. They're also surprisingly keen on picking up on each others' subtleties

Forever and Pac

Probs not underrated after Happy Pills but they're moments sometimes go unnoticed. Pac is one of the people Forever trusts the most, and Pac looks up to Forever probably more than anyone save for maybe Fit. Pac was given a direct message in Forever's goodbye message, and his reaction should show you just how much they mean to each other (os moços <3)

Foolish, Mouse, Tina, Felps

They hung out together and did dungeon raids that one time after a big lore event and while Foolish, Mouse and Tina already know each other quite well, Felps fit in and matched their energy perfectly. 10/10 vibes that stream was

Ironmouse and Philza

Don't have too many moments together but when they do, they always make each other laugh. That one time they had to be spies but couldn't keep quiet cause they kept making each other crack up pretty much says it all

Tina and Badboyhalo

Somehow Bad annoys Tina more than Foolish does and that in itself is an accomplishment, but just like Bad and Foolish, Bad and Tina still hang out together quite a bit, and they're bickering has just become part of the friendship <3 (also this post)

Rivers and Roier

Rivers is a bit more reclusive so I don't see her talk to people that much, but her and Roier are great friends who can be themselves around each other. They're very funny together and have come up with some great bits/gimmicks, and we get to see Rivers being herself at some of her best when he's around. Roier also gets to joke around with her in ways that sometimes fly over other peoples' heads (sometimes its cultural, sometimes its just a Rivoier thing)

Etoiles and Antoine

They won't be underrated to the French community, but the non-French may have missed how great these two are (and all the French tbh, Baghera + Etoiles are another great duo). Etoiles and Antoine are those friends who have been married for 1000 years and also insults each other whenever the other one breathes; they know each other like no one else and can bring out the most in each other (whatever that "most" is depends on the time of day)

AyPierre and Maxo

Despite the breakup, at their peak Maxo and Pierre could always convince each other to say and do the most batshit things that most other people wouldn't be able to draw out of them. They make each other act way more cursed in the best way (see the Furry club for evidence); there's a sort of freedom in being able to find someone who's just as much of a freak as you are

Foolish and the Capybaras

Foolish actually knows the capybaras quite well, and has each of them distinctly memorized in his mind (he even named most of them). He pays attention to who they are as individuals, and he finds genuine delight in their antics. They've felt appreciated and happy enough with him that they allowed him to be their king, and its because of Foolish that they developed stronger lore relevancy

Honorable mentions (Egg Edition): Roier and Leo, Tubbo and Ramón, Bad and Richas, Pomme and Tallulah (can match each others angst levels), Tallulah and Richas

[hybbart]

Since jimmy boy is one of your favs (atleast im pretty sure he is) do you have any underrated pairings/duos with him that you really like? This doesnt have to be characters btw it can be whatever. My fav underrated pairing is jimmy and sneegsnag. I cant put into words why i like it so much they're just so silly and goofy i love it. Alternatively i also really like seeing jimmy and fwhip bickering its hilarious

Not really? Nothing underrated at least, i don't think. I like ranchers and I like his sibling dynamics with Lizzie, Grian, and Pearl. I like his friendship with Martyn cause Martyn seems to be the only one able to tease him and make it... tasteful isn't the right word but we'll go with it. Not-too-much about the jokes.

Him and Joel have a very bros type relationship that reminds me of my brother and his best friends when they're playing cs:go tbh. Scar and him also have a nice friendship, it's quite similar to Grian's dynamic with him but not quite as charmed, more so thinks he's cool. He... I know it seems almost too perfect to be true but he really does treat Scar like his older sibling's friend who's also his friend by extention in that weirdish sorta way siblings bffs are family friends, y'know? That's my take on it. Jimmy is very good at making himself everyone's little brother.

His weird relationship with Etho is also funny. It feels very much like Grian and/or Joel gave him a primer on Jimmy and his bullyableness before introducing him and he very easily fell into the role of teasing him. He just likes to sneak up on him and pull a prank or scare him and leave before they can have any deeper interaction.

Impulse kinda feels the opposite. He feels like he was taught to bully Jimmy by Grian but isn't very good at it. I imagine Jimmy activates the helpful dad in him, literally making games where Grian and Joel have to say nice things about Jimmy and giving him reedstone tutorials and going easy on him when the rest of the southlanders are teasing him. (And then inadvertently dealing the biggest blows when he doesn't mean to) I imagine if he teamed up with Gem, Pearl, and Grian the collective power of their sad puppydog eyes could get Impulse to do literally anything.

Him and Skizz are quite cute, fellow failures going easy on each other and supporting each other, in the few interactions they've had. (Which unsurprisingly leaves his approval at 3/3 for the Roaving Pack Of Dads Squad)

Thats really all the ones I can think of right now tbh.

[findafight]

now i really want a fic where steve and vickie form a warrior's bond by commiserating over their stubbornly oblivious crushes together

Vickie saw Eddie and Steve flirting one day at Steve and Robin's job and gave Steve a thumbs up and a wink but then somehow Eddie interpreted that as Flirting and bombed the rest of the interaction. Steve saw Robin talking herself into knots and trying to down play wanting to hang out with Vickie and after just claps her on the back in commiseration. They are flirting their hearts out. They are being so obvious. They are locking eyes in agony because at this point they're both going to just have to be direct and clear and risk getting told that they need to be careful who they come out to in Hawkins like they don't know that. But at least Robin has Steve telling her Vickie is into her and that yes robin when Vickie said you should watch a movie just the two of you and maybe have dinner after, that WAS a date offer especially since she CALLED IT A DATE. Eddie's in the wilderness Jeff is no help because all he does is laugh at Eddie when he complains (because Steve is being so obvious by then).

Steve and Vickie are such funky little friends I think. Underrated power duo tbh. She's just a s weird as stobin me thinks. Just hasn't found the right people to be weird with.

Nico Robin x morbid gn reader headcanons :)

robin needs more attention i love her

she’s not underrated she just needs more <3

oh wow! your just like her!

if you make comments like she does the rest of the straw hats are gonna go crazy

you creep everyone out

especially if your a more serious/calm person like her

or even if your smiley

its all the more worse

”but if we don’t make it and fall off the cliff we’ll die from head trauma! :D”

oh goodness gracious

your scaring ME now

robin wouldn’t mind and would giggle if you make a joke out of it

but if you say it with a straight face like her

you’ll freak everyone out

if your a masculine energy person nami is more likely to hit you for it

”stop creeping everyone out!!”

you guys are the dark duo

if you do it to creep people out on purpose she would find it amusing

but if your genuinely interested in darker themes..

she has a few good books to recommend you ;)

no matter how creepy it is she won’t get freaked out by anything you say

its likely your the same with her

if you genuinely enjoy talking about grim things

she’d listen all day and not get tired of it

shes a very good listener in general

especially for her s/o

she would expect you to allow her to ramble back to you though

but with her it’s gonna take

h.

o.

u.

r.

s.

and i mean it

although it’s a fair exchange since no one else really wants to hear you talk about your theories and rants about death n dismal or what not

she’ll comfort you if you get/used to get picked on for having such morbid thoughts

or again, just listen if no one else wants to hear such gloomy comments

she’ll slap a stranger with an extra arm if they’re dramatic about it

”no one wants to hear all that gloom and doom n crap! shut up already!”

slap slap!

”what the- who just slapped me?!”

it’s funny since they don’t know what happened and it usually gets you in a good mood again

but if your thoughts are more murky and you don’t like it

she’ll encourage you!

she’s never wrong in a argument 😭

so she’ll give you reasons to think on the bright side that you can’t deny

”maybe you did loose that fight, but you certainly won the war dear! look! you now have plenty of beli to spend on the new book collection you wanted! isn’t that great?”

you can’t really argue with that tbh

“you loose some you win some, i’ve learned that very well”

she’s always there for you no matter what type of person you are

which is why robin is wifey material

if your willing give up winning arguments

go get yourself a robin!

enjoy! these were very fun to write, and surprisingly didn’t take long!

robin>>

[jihyoruri]

another thought i had was i find kazuha and cib!yn so cute ajfjajfja like idk they’re both so ‘head empty’ but chatty so i can imagine them back and forth talking nonsense (it could be labeled gibberish tbh) and listening to the other endearingly (this is where the rare zuhayn rised from! this is also where chaewon almost socked the ballerina too!)

its either that or you find them side by side with kazuha doing her 🤨 face and cib!yn with her resting b* face skfkakfk

cib!yn and zuha are definitely such an underrated duo and they’d talk about the most unreal things like the other girls would be like wtf are theses topics AND THE 🤨 FACE and YNS RESTING B FACE IS SO REAL I CAN SEE FANS DOING COMPILATIONS OF THEM

[theghostlyunknown]

Okay, I get that Scar and Grian never left the desert and I get that Ren and Martyn never made it to spring but, let’s be honest, Bdubs and Cleo never left the crastle. I mean, almost every season, even if they’re not even remotely allied, Cleo asks “You’d never betray me, right?” And everytime, Bdubs answers “No. Never.” AND THE WHOLE SPEECH IN LAST LIFE “I trust Bdubs, and Bdubs trust you, so I trust you.” AND WHEN CLEO CHASTISED BDUBS FOR LYING IN DOUBLE LIFE! “Bdubs you should not be lying to me!” AND BDUBS IMMEDIATELY CRUMBLING UNDER PRESSURE! And limited life! “I don’t care who you betray, as long as it’s not me” AND IN 3RD LIFE WHEN CLEO DIED FIRST AND BDUBS WENT HOME AND CALLED HER NAME! Crastle era was so iconic, it’s still my favorite build of the whole series. They’re such an underrated duo, tbh

[great-hon-equal-to-pot-pie]

MAKE ONE WITH RED S0N!!!

These have been chilling in my inbox for FAR TOO LONG so I've finally mustered up the motivation to do them^^

Sexuality headcanon: Either unlabeled or bisexual!

Gender headcanon: I love genderfluid Red Son she's so real to me but I also really enjoy them being completely unlabeled in both gender and sexuality? It just makes a lot of sense canonically speaking

A ship I have with said character: I've grown attached to most popular lmk ships tbh so I love both SpicyNoodles and DragonFruit (Chimera save me...). Especially qpr iterations of those ships HIIII

A BROTP I have with said character: INFERNO DUO. RED SON AND NE ZHA. THEY'RE SUCH AN UNDERRATED DUO THE PARRALELS THE EVERYTHING!!!

A NOTP I have with said character: anything proship-y ofc.... especially with his parents YUCK

A random headcanon:

The fandom keeps undermining he's supposed to be the evil genius who's secretly a loser archetype PLS MONKIE KIDDERS ADAPT THIS PART OF HER IN FANON BETTER!! He's supposed to be super smart when it comes to tech and science stuff so I hc that it's his primary hobby and a source of great joy! Also they're some form of neurodivergent TRUST. Prefers food with more complex flavour profiles and textures opposed to the "neurodivergent people only eat simple foods blah blah" stereotype because he finds them more stimulating :^

General opinion over said character:

RED SON I LOVE YOU... YOU WERE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER BACK WHEN I STARTED THE SHOW AND YOU REMAIN PRETTY HIGH ON MY LIST TO THIS DAY... I LOVE YOU INCOMPETENT ANIME SUPER VILLIAN AHH AWESOME DESIGN AWESOME POWERS TYPE CHARACTERS IN MY MEDIA OH SO MUCH
