their dynamic

[mozart-the-meerkitten]

*rolls up 15 years late with Avatar the Last Airbender thoughts*

So I've been rewatching clips from the show lately to refresh my memory while I'm writing my Zuko Alone fanfic. And last night I rewatched the clip where Iroh teaches Zuko how to redirect lightning and I have had thoughts about this scene for years so I might as well finally throw them into the void of tumblr.

So, this scene is insane to me, because at the end of learning how he could-hypothetically- redirect lightning, Zuko looks at Iroh and, completely seriously says "okay I'm ready to try it with the real thing now". Like, Zuko, the boy with a massive scar on his face from where his father burned him just looks at his uncle and says, "shoot me with lightning".

And yes, he's 16 and not thinking but that's part of the point because the amount of blind, complete trust Zuko has in Iroh to look at him and say "shoot lightning at me" after the insane trauma he had at the hands of his own father- that is WILD to me. Zuko literally trusts Iroh so much that he just assumes, without even having to think about it, that no matter how volatile and unpredictable the lightning is, Iroh won't hurt him because Zuko cannot fathom his uncle hurting him.

And of course, Iroh's appalled because Zuko's standing there with a massive scar on his face from when his father misused firebending against him and likewise, Iroh cannot fathom hurting Zuko. And since IROH knows how volatile and unpredictable lightning is and how it could literally kill his son nephew he is absolutely NOT going to use it just to let Zuko practice redirecting lightning, but he's so flabbergasted that Zuko would even ask him that that he just kind of splutters angrily that he will ABSOLUTELY NOT shoot lightning at Zuko. (it's also just another layer of how messed up Ozai is because he shot lightning at Zuko without a second thought later)

But I hope Iroh thought about it later and realized the amount of pure, unthinking trust Zuko has in him because ;-; the child didn't even THINK about it. "Okay uncle shoot lightning at me now. I know I'll be safe because it's you." I love them so much 😭😭

can I say something

this corpsman was really hot (corpsman stern no first name apparently based on "red" from leckie's memoir) like look at his cunty little glasses and his hat (paging dr. fashionista hellooooo) and his dynamic with leckie was really funny where leckie would refuse his help until absolutely necessary and be really begrudging about the whole thing while stern was very kind and gentle with him... they should've had a whirlwind affair I'm not even joking

astarion origin playthrough worth it just for all the extra moments where he does the "sad wet cat" face

if you think about it, the way post-canon Ghilasara is allergic to emotional intimacy (re: her own feelings, she's fine being there for others) and functions through the force of repression actually makes her and Viago the perfect combo. he is THE person she can say anything in front of and know he'll never try to make her actually talk about it.

she says, "I hate my life so much sometimes" and he just Nods. maybe asks if poisons could help but you can't really poison your way through grief and self-imposed duty, so she'd decline politely, but would be sort of touched. emotions are implied but never discussed. truly an optimal environment for her

Peak Megatron and Starscream is a Tom and Jerry-esque dynamic and that's a fact

They are eachother's worsties and have actively tried to kill eachother at least once a day for four million years that but Primus forbid someone else tries and kills that glitch-headed bastard.

"You strike Starscream? You strike him like football? Oh Jail for Megatron! Jail for thousnds of years!" Starscream after Megatron back handed him for literally trying to stab him in the back- Starscream babe you are still holding the knife

If they aren't in the most functionally dysfunctional situationship what's even the point

I think about how some people actually hate on Yuji, Nobara and Megumi and get confused because I went into JJK and by episode 3 I adored them.

i am thinking about spite and emmrich (romantically) todayyyyyyy. i am just! i feel like spite would be so gentle with emmrich. he isn't fragile, but spite has picked up on the fact that lucanis tends to handle "older" things with care and emmrich has made off-handed comments on being and "old man," so obviously he's something spite has to handle with care!

and i'm am so obsessed with spite adoring the parts of emmrich that show his age. because age as a concept is foreign to spirits/demons, right? spite who is constantly singing praises emmrich's laugh lines and his crow's feet and loves the feeling of the texture of his skin underneath his fingers when lucanis lets him take over. the closest thing spite can compare them to is a scar; it's a sign that you survived. that you lived. and what's more attractive than that.

spite who gets drunk on the simplest of touches. who kisses emmrich like they have all the time in the world. slow and sweet as he sits in his lap, letting his hands trace all the planes of emmrich's face. spite who will be wholly content to just let his face rest in the palm of emmrich's hand, pressing kisses to his palm as emmrich reads aloud. spite who loves feelings and sensations because emmrich can give them conversation even if they aren't in control of lucanis, but he cannot give him touch. spite who will twist emmrich's rings around and bat at his bangles and tug on his chains just to see how they move (and how emmrich moves with them).

something i love about charles and edwin's relationship, whether you want to see it as romantic or platonic, and no matter how the writers choose to move forward with it in the future (fingers crossed for s2), is that the commitment to each other is already there. they effectively are, as friends and as detectives, in a committed partnership with each other, one they both reassert multiple times, and they have been for thirty years. like ??? oh my god ??? they love each other so much ???

but they're also still sixteen year olds, with all the angst and confusion that it entails. and all that makes for such a fun and sweet dynamic i think

If Three met Ten he would take one look at this weasel looking suit and converse wearing mf disrespecting Martha and pathetically crying over the Master and have him dead in a ditch by the end of the day.

💕 kuroba first date outfit

OC OUTFIT DOODLE ASKS!

the place kuroba and karamatsu go on their first date to is a pretty expansive garden and requires a lot of walking so the outfit they go with is on more casual comfy side. they definitely put how comfortable it is to move in to the test after having to outrun the rest of the sextuplets trying to sabotage kara's confession plans.

( also, i envision him wearing the outfit from the 2nd anime paradise cafe collab on that date. )

Have you ever thought of them having a bunk bed? Who would get the top bunk?

I wanna say Remus cause he'd like to hang from it but also I kinda like the idea of him thinking he's the monster under Roman's bed if he had the bottom bunk!

(I'm now just thinking about Monster Under The Bed Remus and how fun that would be as an au...)

FUCK YEAH

Remus would enjoy being the monster under the bed, 100%, and would also enjoy the fact that he can do shit and Roman can't see him. Can't help imagining him making obscene sounds as a joke while just laying down in bed just to piss off Roman. I am still on my "Remus being his inappropriate self without giving it much thought vs. Roman giving it so much thought" agenda

Also ngl Roman would want the top bunk because he's a diva and he's special and he's above everyone else. Roman, to me, generally enjoys being on top of things. He would hate being UNDER Remus as stupid as it sounds. To me. I just see him as a top bunk person. Remus 100% climbs up there regularly though

exactly if I wanted best friends I would be into piarles which is probably the charles ship i'm least interested in even tho pierre is very obviously the driver charles is closest to in real life

I'm simply not compelled by Piarles, but I've never been compelled by friends to lovers type ships because that's not what I enjoy. I think Piarles makes for an excellent friends to lovers, as does Maxiel but considering my taste in ships outside of F1 is all Rhaenicent, Drarry, Stevetony–Lestappen was going to be a no brainer for me. If I thought their dynamic was just 'best friends', I wouldn't enjoy it. Simple as.
