#tho i would love to make like pictures and screensavers of the characters i make up

[bf-rally]

sketching around

messing around

[colorfulyetsinful]

I wrote this on my phone again😀

You could tell with the amount of emojis I used, anyways

Tim is literally my favorite I never shut up about him and bc of that this list is so goddamn long. I honestly tried to be consistent but I was going off the top of my head

Enjoy and become apart of the Tim Drake cult😈

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tim Drake hc!!! WOAH!

Nepotism baby

He’s a rich child with inheritance and basically running two separate businesses

Nepotism at its finest✨

Since he was usually on his own (due to his parent working) he used Batman and Robin as a form of escapism

Kinda lonely

He’ll talk to himself as if he was talking to Batman and Robin

Definitely ran a Batman and/or Gotham vigilante stan account on Twitter

Toxic fan **tm**

no literally, he would argue with anyone who disagreed on him that Batman was the best hero,

especially if they were Metropolis

bc why tf do they always have to involve themselves in everything Gotham🤨

Two words: Parasocial relationship

had an unhealthy obsession with Robin!Jason,

Robin!Jason saved him ONCE (1x) and it was down hill from there

Def locked himself in his room, sobbing, screaming, pulling his hair, and throwing up when Jason died.

News: Jason Todd, son of Billionaire Bruce Wayne, pronounced death! Read more to find out.

Tim: NOO!

Vaild tho,

who wasn’t crying when Jason died?

(The joker)

Wha-

He had a celebrity crush on Dick (not ship related),

no one knows about it (it’s all over his stan account that he made sure will never see the light of day),

he’s taking that secret to the grave

I say this a lot about Tim, but

Whore **tm**

have you seen his body count?!

definitely followed in Dick’s footsteps

Strange is what ppl say about him,

vaild tho,

if I had to sit next to Tim in class, I would find him strange too

Adhd coded,

why do ya think he keeps himself busy?! He literally can’t sit still

Also no insomnia,

he just suffers from chronic nightmares that keeps him from getting proper rest,

So de just decided not to sleep

“Nightmares can’t effect me if I don’t sleep”

Yeah, scarecrow has nothing on him,

poor guy’s had worse

Even after getting adopted, he never really felt part of the family,

Always feeling like he has to prove something to Bruce to stay as robin,

Which is why, when Dick had Damian be Robin, Tim felt like he had no place in the family anymore

That’s why he went a little insane

It’s cool, they’re fine now…

Speaking of insane,

Tim is like the one robin in the family I would not want to fight

Like compare to the others,

(Dick has experience form doing it for so long + mf is giggling and joking while kicking ass,

Jason is just kid with daddy issues and a gun, it’s America, been there seen it,

And Damian has both daddy and mommy issues, angain nothing really special)

Tim is just purely unhinged,

he’s got everything to prove without the care in the world what happens to him,

don’t forget his mad scientist era

What I’m trying to say is that Tim is scary and you have a better chance fighting Damian or Jason

(at least they kinda make it quick)

Ok back to silly goofy hc :D

Tim used to write Batman fanfics,

it’s true I was his screensaver

He used them all wattpad, fanfic.net, ao3, tumblr, etc

It was mostly “original character” fics, that were actually self inserts

as escapism

(He’s def taking that to the grave)

Stephanie found out about it and he was planing her “disappearance” within a rive minute timeframe

Speaking of Steph,

They cringe every time someone brings up the fact that they used to date

*hold cute picture of Steph/Tim* Awe you guys were so cute, ashamed you two broke up

Them: *gag*

He loves Steph tho, she’s his ride or die

As I mentioned in my Accent hc,

Tim knows a lot of languages bc rich kid

Him and Damian talk to each other in mandarin, mostly bc it’s a language they both know fluently

He tried to learn Arabic so Damian could feel comfortable talking to him,

(This is after the many times he’s tried to kill him, but hey what are brother’s for..?)

He couldn’t quite get the pronunciation right, and just said “fuck it we speaking mandarin”

Literally, they don’t even speak in English to each other anymore,

Like if it’s just them talk, other ppl they’ll translate or they’re talking shit

Tim and Damian actually get along,

Like it was rough at first, but living together really forces the two to get along

(Imma add more about them in a different hc)

Also Dick Grayson!!

Did I mention he had a parasocial relationship?

Yeah, Dick was not excluded from that

He knew Dick was mostly giving him the time of day bc he felt guilt about not being there enough for Jason,

But he doesn’t care

He knew what he was doing going to Dick about being Robin,

“You gotta be Robin again. Batman needs Robin”

“Idk who you are kid, but I am not wear that thing again. Plus blue is more my color. You wearing if you think it’ll help Bruce”

*Tim already at the display case* “I mean…if you insist”

Stalker

Nothing else to add to that

He’s the best to take to galas (or just to deal with high society in general) having grew up with lessons on how to be a “proper young man”

Study abroad at one point,

It was in Switzerland

Has a staring problem

Literally. Imagine just minding your business in a public area and turning to see (👁️👁️) staring death at you without blinking

Don’t worry, it’s just his adhd taking over the most part of his brain

He actually hates black coffee, but it’s the only think strong enough to have him away (so he won’t get nightmares)

He watches anime,

Specifically, shonen anime and BL (boylove)

He watches anime with Damian while arguing about the main pairing not working bc the “male love interest is obviously gay”

He wrote fanfics, you think he won’t be a shipper?

Can sing,

Like really good

Jason caught him singing in his room at like 2:30 in the morning and sent a video to the group chat

*jason sent a video*

Jason: ya see this shit😀

Everyone goes crazy bc Tim sounds so nice

The thing is, Tim never hid the fact that he can sing, just never said it out load

But if you were really pay attention to him, you could have caught him lightly singing to himself any indie or viral tiktok song while he does basic tasks

Everyone now has a mission of trying to catch him in the act,

Only Alfred and Cass knew he could sing

Bart knows about his identity before he told the team,

Bc Yk future and all

So him and Tim just naturally became closer over time as Tim could rant to Bart without worrying about his identity being blown

(More about this in another hc)

Cannon that he cross dresses

I think that’s it for now…

[tinyjeanmarco]

I love your hcs so much, they’re always so well thought out and just warm. When you have the time could I please get modern Bertholdt relationship hcs? Ilysm

modern bertholdt relationship hc’s!

yes, yes, yes! i luv bert, he is so cute 🥺 i also really like his character. i say that about all of the characters LOL but still. i think yams did a great job creating all of these characters and how he made them change and grow. i’m glad there isn’t like a single character that is static in any way. in what i write though, he’s a pretty different character because it’s modern au. we chillin’ tho. also, thank you! i’m glad you enjoy my content, love! ٩(*•͈ ꇴ •͈*)و ̑̑❀

modern!bertholdt x gn!reader

warnings: mentions of alcohol.

shy boy.

the first time you guys met would be at a college party that reiner dragged him to. he honestly didn’t want to go, but reiner was able to talk him into it, saying he would have fun.

tried to stick to reiner the whole time, but managed to lose him at some point. bert honestly just decided to sit alone, observing everyone.

he wasn’t sure if it would be polite to leave or not! he didn’t even like drinking, which was what everyone was doing.

so far, reiner lied, he wasn’t having fun. 

that was until you approached him. you didn’t want to see someone not enjoying themselves at an event that was supposed to be fun.

like bertholdt, you didn’t see the point in drinking though, and it seemed like you two were the only sober ones in the sea of college students.

you and bert would get along really well either because you were shy and quiet just like him, or you were loud and outgoing, trying to lift his mood somehow.

it turns out to be very effective, believe it or not. he’s glad to have someone keep him company since reiner ditched him.

you have a real long discussion about the meaning of life and other random philosophical things.

lowkey see him a a philosophy major. really suits his quiet, observant nature.

he gets a text from reiner later saying that he left the party with someone and that he didn’t have to wait up to leave.

tiny tall boy sighs, telling you his friend left, and that he might leave soon cuz that was the only reason he came.

you of course ask for his number so that you guys can keep in contact and hang out sometimes. let’s be real, there was a ~connection~ between you guys and you wanted to see where it went.

so, he agrees, and now you guys are friends!

he’s still really shy though, so you have to make the first move or else nothing will happen between you two unless someone else were to intervene.

you asked him out. date place? a museum! he really enjoys them and wants to interpret the art with you. 

while you two are out, he grabs your hand in his. it’s cute, really. he’s so nervous about it, too, blushing like a madman.

your new favorite thing is finding ways to fluster him. kiss his cheek in public? blushing and fidgety. hold his hand? blushing again. 

reiner loves teasing him about how nervous he gets around you, to which he always replies with a rushed, “shut up!”

over time though, he grows more comfortable around you and less nervous. he still gets flustered so easily though, don’t worry. your fun with that isn’t over.

he’s like a little puppy, he loves when you pet his hair and run your fingers through it affectionately, even if he is taller than you.

i see his love language as physical touch, so he will constantly hug you and make contact with you in any way he can. definitely feels most comfortable holding your hand when you guys are in public.

he likes it when you sit on his lap, arms wrapped around your middle, just kinda sitting there, relishing in the warmth you share together.

he is a funny man, he loves cracking jokes and you laugh at all of them because somehow, even if they’re not funny, they have you snorting.

he will be the big spoon, but it seems more like it’s split halfway. he definitely enjoys being the little spoon even though he’s a tall boy. it makes him feel less vulnerable if he’s wrapped up in your arms.

kithes. he has the softest lips, always applying lip balm, so kissing him is so pleasant. plus he’s such a gentle giant? always asks if he can kiss you before he does.

cradles your neck so softly with one hand as the other is on your waist or hip when he kisses you.

shy, but will square up if anyone says something to hurt you, or if anyone upsets you. man goes to the gym with reiner often so he is swole and ready to fight.

oH wait, okay, speaking of swole bert, he has like nice biceps and one of your favorite things is to cling to his arm when you’re together, pressed into his side, hands wrapped around his upper arm.

you love, love, love to feel his muscles. it’s kinda hot to you that he looks like so well put together, and is secretly BUILT.

also, since he is so stronk, you love getting piggy backs from him or have him carry you!

since we’re all over the place with these headcanons, i just feel it in my left ass cheek that he loves giving you forehead kisses.

you’re studying together and you fall asleep? he will give you a soft kiss to your forehead.

presses a kiss to the top of your head when you fall asleep on him as you’re watching a movie.

you’re the most obnoxious couple to watch movies with. you guys are always talking about what’s going on, discussing what it means and if you ever have a movie night with friends, expect them to tell you guys to shut the fuck up.

i love the idea of when you guys move in together, he tries so hard to cook for you, but he’s a disaster in the kitchen so you have to make something for you guys after he failed whatever he was making.

sometimes will fuck up his dish and be like, “... so, what do you want on your pizza?” as he pulls out his phone LOL.

sometimes he manages to successfully make something though. you cherish those times because it’s really not half bad.

still really rare though.

sorry, but bert chews with his mouth open so you’re gonna have to yell at him a lot before he begins to close his mouth while eating.

sees you’re into skin care so he starts asking you to help him make a skin care routine. he loves to have face masks on while you guys settle down for the night, watching stupid youtube videos together.

secretly loves disney movies. he would be watching frozen 2 when he thought you wouldn’t be home for another few hours. he scrambles to turn it off but as he’s fiddling with the remote, he just turns up the volume and you’re just like, “wait! restart it! i haven’t seen it yet!”

you go get changed into his clothes comfy clothes and snuggle in beside him, telling him to press play.

all the while he’s like what the fuck?

c’mon bert. don’t you know disney movies are for everyone? like you would judge him for that, smh.

he texts you pictures of cute animals all the time either saying “you,” or “reminded me of you.”

he’s so PRECIOUS.

speaking of pictures, you have a whole ass vault of pictures you have of him sleeping. it’s no secret that he sleeps in the weirdest positions. you get concerned sometimes, thinking that he’s going to kill himself in his sleep, but he’s fine thus far.

you have a funny picture of him as your phone screensaver, so when it lights up around your friends he gets shy and flustered as everyone laughs.

grumbles under his breath but you just give him kisses which flusters him even more.

overall, tall, shy boy is good boyfie. silly and very sweet. be sure to give him tons of back hugs and he will be wrapped around your finger!

[gaylotusthatexists]

ok aaand the questions!!!

1: Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you started shipping 6?

2: Have you ever read a fanfiction about 2?

bitch i have written solangelo fic

yes, yes i have, many many times

3: Has a picture of 4 ever been your profile picture/screensaver/Tumblr?

nope :)

4: If 7 were to suddenly break-up today, what would your reaction be?

D: i’d be very sad. please no. it was hard enough watching them lose their memories of each other so many times in the show please don’t make them have to break up again

5: Why is 1 so important?

listen i just think they’re neat. recently i’ve been on an intrulogical high ok i don’t even ship them in the concept of the show but maybe i just wanna be hugged by remus and logan is apparently a vessel for that :/

6: Is 9 a funny ship or a serious ship?

completely serious. i love them ok.

7: Out of all of the ships on the list, who has the most chemistry?

this is so difficult what the fuck

i. refuse to answer. all of them.

8: Out of all the ships on the list, who has the strongest bond?

this is so difficult as well aaaaa uhhh probably eleanor/chidi they’ve been through so much together

9: How many times have you read/watched 8's source material?

i’ve read the main pjo series all the way through twice i think? maybe three times? i’m not sure. some of them i’ve probably read three or more times.

10: Which ship has lasted the longest?

uhhhh idk. i think from this list percabeth was probably the first one i started shipping?

11: How many times, if ever, has 2 broken up?

i mean, in canon they haven’t, but i feel like nico is the kind of person to fake break up with will out of spite and then get back with him the next morning.

12: If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 2 or 8?

oh uhhh can they not work together?

aaa idk. probably solengelo honestly, percabeth would probably do some dumb shit

13: Did 5 ever have to hide their relationship for any reason?

they’re not canon but i feel like at first they’d probably have to hide their relationship, but it wouldn’t last long :)

14: Is 4 still together?

heck yeah babey (still cannot believe it’s canon ngl)

15: Is 3 canon?

yes!!!!!!! everyone go read heartstopper right now

16: If all 10 ships were put into a couple's Hunger Games, which couple would win?

uhhhh i reckon intrulogical bc remus does not give two shits he is definitely down for murder

17: Has anyone ever tried to sabotage 10's ship?

yup, she who must not be named fuck off jkr all of your characters are trans and gay

18: Which ship would you defend to death and beyond?

...all of them?

imma say ellie/lottie bc. they cute. and from the looks of it (and what i know about our queen connie glynn) it’s probably gonna be canon

19: Do you spend hours a day going through 1's Tumblr page?

maybe not hours and definitely not daily but i do take a peak sometimes

also tho if anyone has any intrulogical fics they like feel free to send them my way i’m desperate

20: If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you that you had to pick one of the ten ships to break up forever or else she'd break them all forever, which ship would you sink?

aaaa fuck uhhh imma probably have to say percabeth, i love them but just not as much as i love the rest of this life :’)

anyway, this was fun!!! imma tag @theloveliestsweetspongy @bluekit-kat and @underworldystuff aaaand anyone who feels like doing this honestly just say i tagged you haha

5 Things Meme

I was tagged just this Tuesday (an eon ago) by @hobbitsaarebas for this meme. So sorry that it took so long, Hobbit, and thanks for thinking of me always! 

I tag @afro-elf, @zetsubonna, @platonicharmonics, @indi-flying-with-dragons, and @the-omniscient-narrator. Have fun if you like, loves! 

Here we go, under the readmore! :D 

5 Things You Can Find on My Blog 

Note: I don’t post very much to my Tumblr blog here, but still!

1.) Positive, uplifting, pro-black content, especially pro-black women & girls content. Hell, you can see that in my blog’s headers. Gotta take care of your people; gotta love your people. And then you start and continue to love yourself. ‘Tis vital for a healthy heart, soul, and identity. 

2.) Shippy things! Mostly Marvel! I ship the hell outta SamSteve, SamBucky, SamSteveBucky, RhodeyTony, etc. I don’t quite consider myself an active black gal Marvel blogger because of how little I post, but I do hope I post a lil something that some people like and enjoy-I know I certainly like and enjoy those things. 

3.) Links to my AO3 fics. I...don’t quite have a large fanbase. Haha...hah...hahaha...hah. -lolsobs- So as soon as I finish editing and posting to AO3, I gotta excitedly head over here to my Tumblr blog to post the good news! I only write stories about and with characters of color, especially. Feel like I’m doin’ the fandom lord’s work and I love, love, love it! 

4.) Just about anything I find hilarious.It could be yet another meme, videos, joke posts, etc. Ya’ll can usually find that under the “I iz HOWLING”, “I iz CACKLING” or even “I’m done” tags. Yep, yep! :D

5.) Correspondences with my friends. I love, love, love, love getting tagged/mentioned by them (can ya tell by me doing this? Haha!) and I strive to return the favor in kind. I love when they reblog things from me and I reblog things from them. I love hearing kind, encouraging words from them-it never fails to brighten my day. You can find a lot of this under my tag “Chitchat with friends” and “Being tagged by friends is WONDERFUL!” 

5 Things You Can Find in my Room or House

1.) Romance/erotica books. Comic books. Romance/erotica books. Graphic novel books. Romance/erotica books. African American-centered books. Romance/erotica books. Educational and classic books (ex. I love and read the shit outta Cyrano; I’ve re-read it 4 times so far.) And now I also have fucking nursing books right now because I had the brilliant, dumpster fire idea to go to nursing school. Fucking hell, Amarie. Fucking hell. What were you thinking. 

2.) My wittle Windows Surface RT tablet! I got her as a surprise Christmas gift from my friend’s family just this January! I gave her a pink screensaver (wallpaper), and so I thusly named her “Pinky”! (Her freakin’ charger had to be replaced, tho. And I gotta take her to Geek Squad ‘cause her keyboard acting up next...grrr...) 

3.) Posters! I’m a huge, huge black gal nerd and proud of it! I have 3 Spider Man posters (well, one is really a calendar from my 13th birthday party, but shush), a Sailor Moon poster, a Lego Batman movie poster, a Transformers: Bumblebee poster, a Monster High poster, a Marvel characters poster, 2 Falcon (Sam Wilson, baes) posters, and finally one Tuskegee Airmen poster!! 

4.) Makeup. Uhh...I’ve been told that I have a pwetty face shape and I’ve been told that I’m pretty good at using makeup to softly highlight my features. Uhh...I get compliments. That’s all I know. ‘M just here. 

5.) More books. 

5 Things I’ve Always Wanted to Do

1.) Travel, travel, travel! Especially wanna go to Paris, France (I’m a huge ass romantic sap). And recently, I wanna go to Disneyland and spend a whole mortgage payment and then some just to finally hug Princess Tiana. 

2.) Write at least, ehh...30 to 50 fanfictions. Wanna make a whole library for you all. 

3.) Take a ballroom dance/waltz class. I wish to whirl ‘round and ‘round the ballroom. 

4.) Play Super Mario Kart Brothers, or whatever the hell it’s called. I’ve never owned a game console (I be broke & so I’ve only ever had books and Sims on my PC), so that’ll be a novel experience for me! 

5.) More traveling. 

5 Things That Make Me Happy

1.) Thinking hopefully about the future. Honestly, it’s the main thing that keeps me going. I think about what a mostly great career I’ll have as a nurse (I’ve always wanted to go into healthcare, but never even dreamed that I’d be an RN). I think about my lil chute-chute of a car that’ll be all mine. I think about my time that’ll be all mine. 

2.) Watching cartoons, especially old ones from my childhood. Ya’ll, prolly about 98% of what I watch is literally cartoons. I’m learning not to beat myself up about that/call myself immature. Like...if that’s the worst thing I do to cope with life right now, then ain’t nobody getting hurt. 

3.) My wittle entitled white boy of a cat, Dante. Sweet baby boy has gotten me through many a hard day and night. 

4.) Music, music, music! 

5.) Reading 

5 Things On My To-Do List

1.) Finish my physical and shit for my clinical packet at school. 

2.) Pharmacology homework 

3.) Fundamentals of nursing homework 

4.) Speech class homework

5.) Clean the goddamned house 

6.) Sleep (Fuck it, we need a 6th one) 

5 Things You May Not Know About Me

1.) I have a vivid, surrealistic imagination. One of the most common complements I get on my fics is along the lines of “This was so vivid that I could picture everything so clearly! I could smell that scent, I could see them dancing!” or “You painted such bright, beautiful pictures in my head-I could see and understand everything so easily! It was like I was right there in the scene!” 

Yeah, it was just like that for me, too-I saw it like that in my head, too. I just have the ability and desire to translate that onto the page in black-and-white. So thanks a ton!

The...slight problem that this causes, tho? I can’t turn the strength of my imagination off...and so I can’t watch horror movies. I am 25-years-old and I can’t watch horror movies and I don’t think that’s going to change any time soon. It’s all just as real, just as vivid, just as valid to me and I take on the emotional tones of the movie just as easily as if I were watching Brandy’s Cinderella or Rugrats in Paris: the Movie.

I become terrified & affronted when I’m tryna listen to music on YouTube and a fucking ad comes on first for a horror movie and I smash that “Skip Ad” button as quickly as I can-lately, it’s been It and I just...ugh. Ya’ll, not everyone can handle horror movies. 

It’s not kind. It’s not good. 

2.) Umm...I wanna cuddle Bucky Barnes. Like, if I could cuddle Bucky Barnes one day, my life would be complete and I’d need no more fulfillment. Just...lemme cuddle Bucky Barnes and all will be right in my world. 

3.) I am an avid tea drinker! I especially love to drink tea when I’m working hard-be it at writing or homework! I drink plain English breakfast tea, lemon-ginger tea, Constant Comment tea, Jasmine green tea, plain green tea, English black tea, french vanilla tea, and just about every other kinda tea you can imagine! Yep, yep! 

4.) I grew up and still live in the south, but I got my parents’ northern blood. So I love, love, love, love, love and prefer the cold. You can betcha ass that I’ll get up a 5am in the morning just to go for a walk in the freezing, pre-dawn morning. It’s like a soft, soothing winter wonderland and I love it! 

5.) I am a proudly self-professed romance sap...but I couldn’t give less than a shit about sci-fi. I’m just...not a sci-fi person. At all. You gotta put some black folk up there in them stars before I think to care. 

Well, then! That was quite a long and enjoyable meme and I hope you all had fun! Thanks so much again to Hobbit and much love to one and all! :D

Tagged by @eloarei​. This isn’t normally my jam, but it looked like fun!

PICK YOUR TOP 10 SHIPS WITHOUT READING THE QUESTIONS  

Let’s get this show on the road!!  (I had more trouble that I thought I would coming up with ten ships)

1. SwanQueen (Emma Swan/Regina Mills, Once Upon a Time) 2. Victuuri (Victor Nikiforov/Yuuri Katsuki, Yuri!!! on Ice) 3. Carterwood (Peggy Carter/Dottie Underwood, Agent Carter) 4. K/S (James T. Kirk/Spock, Star Trek TOS) 5. Yumikuri (Ymir/Historia Reiss, Shingeki no Kyojin) 6. Miss Celie/Shug Avery (The Color Purple) 7. Fierrochase (Alex Fierro/Magnus Chase, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard) 8. Matt Holt/Takahashi Shirogane (Voltron Legendary Defender) 9. Tanatsu (Tanuma Kaname/Natsume Takashi, Natsume Yuujinchou) 10. Toharu (Azuma Tokoku/Ichinose Haru, Akuma no Riddle)

DO YOU REMEMBER THE EPI/SCENE/CHAPTER THAT YOU FIRST STARTED SHIPPING 6? ~ Miss Celie and Shug Avery. Hoo boy. So we're talking stage musical here, I'm still working myself up to reading the book. I walked into The Color Purple with only the vaguest idea what it was about. I thought Shug and Celie would be good for eachother one way or another pretty much as soon as Shug was introduced, but. The song 'Dear God - Shug', where Celie is bathing Shug. That song shook me so badly, I just stopped breathing. Then I started crying, silent tears all the way through 'Too Beautiful for Words'. I just shut down, I couldn't think about or process anything but what was happening on the stage. I mean, no kidding, a woman a few rows up collapsed and had to be brought out by EMTs and I only vaguely noticed. 

YOU EVER READ A FIC ABOUT 2? ~ Victuuri! Sure, tons. My favourite kinds are missing scene drabbles and timeline alternations (you know the 'what would have happened if things had gone just a little differently' kind of thing.). Though I'm currently reading a wonderful AU loosely based on the beginning of Stranger Things (No, really).

HAVE A PICTURE OF 4 EVER BEEN YOUR SCREENSAVER/PROFILE PICTURE? ~ K/S. I wanna say no, but I can't swear to it. It's been a long time. They could have been and I've forgotten.

IF 7 WERE TO SUDDENLY BREAK UP TODAY, WHAT WOULD YOUR REACTION BE? 

colleen skip this question there are spoilers

~ Fierrochase. Look. When you start with non-consensual decapitation, it’s gonna take more than a breakup to surprise your audience. It’d actually be pretty interesting if Magnus and Alex had a real fight or a falling out, because it could make for great character development. They’ve been cautious with opening up to one another, but both of them are kind of prickly people (Alex especially). If there’s conflict between them it’d also keep Alex from falling into an overshadowed ‘love interest’ niche to Magnus’ Main Character. So long as Alex isn’t the Bad Guy in the fight and it furthers Alex’s character development, I’m down.

okay colleen you can come back

WHY IS 1 SO IMPORTANT?

~ SwanQueen! Okay so I already got heavy with you once, but bear with me. Emma and Regina are so important to me, because they were the first time I'd ever been able to look at two women and see them with a future together that I could imagine for myself. I've known I'm a lesbian since I was thirteen, but for a long time I didn't really know how a future would work for me in that context. I didn't know where to begin picturing what it would look like to be in love with a woman, or for a woman to be in love with me. Regina and Emma's deeply complicated and emotional relationship was the first time a relationship between two women had ever felt real to me. I know it's not canon, and I know I'm being baited, but I can't really bring myself to care very much. They way they look at one another is too important to me.

WHICH ONE HAS THE STRONGEST BOND?   ~ Tough one! I'm giving it to Shug and Celie. SwanQueen is powerful and K/S are literally telepathically bonded soulmates, but. Shug and Celie are canon, and the difference they made in one another's lives is stronger and more beautiful than I can credit to either of the others.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU READ/WATCHED 10’S FANDOM? ~ One and a half times for the anime, once for the manga. Akuma no Riddle is a lot deeper than it's usually given credit for, but it's still not the kind of story that leaves me with a burning desire to rewatch/read it.

WHICH SHIP HAS LASTED THE LONGEST? ~ I'm pretty sure Kirk and Spock. They've got about twenty-six years logged, though I'm not sure how many of those were spent together. Then again, I'm not sure how long Shug and Celie were together, either. The musical is kind of vague about the timeline.

HOW MANY TIMES IF EVER HAS 6 BROKEN UP? ~ Shug and Celie have broken up at least twice, I think? It's complicated, but that time Shug went away and came back married probably counts. When Celie left Shug over that boy from the band, that definitely counts. Shug looked like she was going to try and convince Celie to take her back at the end, so there may be more breakups in their future (but hopefully not!).

IF THE WORLD WAS SUDDENLY THRUST INTO A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE WHICH SHIP WOULD MAKE IT OUT ALIVE, 2 OR 8? ~ A pair of figure skaters and a pair of astronauts are facing the zombie apocalypse. Yuuri and Victor are gone, there’s no way.

Shiro and Matt tho, they might be able to make it. They'd get separated, because what are Matt and Shiro without angst, but unbeknownst to the other they both survive. They're really great characters for a zombie AU, now that I'm thinking about it. Matt has at least some background in microbiology, and his dad is at the top of the field. Shiro is exactly the kind of person who would accidentally end up leading a ragtag band of survivors. They could work two different sides of the zombie genre as parallel protagonists, turning up in each other’s plots as the tragic lover presumed dead. Matt in a chilling scifi thriller with stark facilities hiding dark secrets as he works to uncover how this even happened, while outside Shiro hunts for survivors trying to carve out a future in a survivalist horror setting. It's perfect! They finally meet again in the third act, and only by pooling their knowledge and resources can the plot be resolved. (I’m guessing the zombies are the result of some Zarkon immortal Lich King nonsense? Allura has got to be key to whatever resolution happens, ofc. The plot needs some work.)

DID 9 EVER HAVE TO HIDE THEIR RELATIONSHIP FOR ANY REASON?

~ Tanatsu! I’m gonna give it a yes! I’m counting that time Tanuma pretended to be a spirit that had Natsume trapped in a jug. On a more serious note, if they do ever get together I can picture them not telling anyone, because they’re very private people. I mean, when Natsume wants to put his friends’ photos up to look at, he does it on the inside of his closet. Let Natsume stay in the closet, where he can feel safe.

IS 4 STILL TOGETHER? ~ Kirk/Spock. Nah mate, they're both super dead. They didn't even die in the same universe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IS 10 CANON? ~ YES IT IS!!!!

Tokaku and Haru are 100% canon, release the confetti!! (photographic evidence included) (THIS IS FAIRLY RECENT I’M STILL KINDA HYPE)

IF ALL 10 SHIPS WERE PUT INTO A COUPLE’S HUNGER GAMES WHICH COUPLE WOULD WIN? ~ DUDE that's almost literally the plot of Tokaku and Haru's series. I think they’ve got this in the bag. Then again, there's a titan and two einherji in the game. 

If someone can figure out how to kill a titan before they’re eaten, it'd be very close between Toharu and Fierrochase, assuming Magnus keeps Jack and the einherji don’t respawn. If no one figures out how to kill Ymir, Yumikuri wipes the field. 

(This is actually a very interesting scenario tho, because there are only a few couples on this list that would be willing to kill the others. I’ve never read the hunger games, do they have explosive collars that stop them from forming alliances or smth? Emma and Regina have a son about the same age as a few of their opponents, they’d try to protect them. I guess if Dottie got invested in the competition, she could sew enough distrust to keep a total truce from forming. One or two betrayals is all it takes. Especially if she takes Yuuri out early to stop the English speakers from communicating with the Japanese speakers)

HAS ANYBODY EVER TRIED TO SABOTAGE 5’S SHIP? ~ Yumikuri. Only everyone. Between various kidnappings, they haven't been together for over thirty chapters. And the subtext of the series is so creepy I've stopped following it which I’m calling meta-sabotage.

WHICH SHIP WOULD YOU DEFEND UNTIL DEATH AND BEYOND? ~ Oh. Uhm. Definitely Celie/Shug. It's CANON goddamnit. And I know that there's a lot of other important things going on, I'm not gonna pretend that the ship is more important than any of the other heavy topics in there. The focus is elsewhere, and it deserves to be. But I am furious that no one will own up to Miss Celie being a lesbian. If I read one more academic meta on 'close female friendship' or see the words 'like sisters' one more time.

DO YOU SPEND HOURS A DAY GOING THROUGH 3’S TUMBLR PAGES? ~ Carterwood. Nah. There's not a whole lot of material, and I haven't got that kind of time. I did occasionally, back when the show was airing.

IF AN EVIL WITCH DESCENDED FROM THE SKY AND TOLD YOU THAT YOU HAD TO PICK 1 OF THE 10 SHIPS TO BREAK UP FOREVER OR ELSE SHE’D BREAK THEM ALL UP FOREVER WHICH SHIP WOULD YOU SINK? ~ Carterwood, without hesitation. They don't have a future. Dottie's not sure if she wants to be Peggy, fusleep with Peggy, or kill Peggy. It's an amazing dynamic, but.

Alright, for tagging! @silanosepiae, @mamiinaandthediamonds​ if you have time before the semester, and @visirion too since I put that spoiler notice in. No pressure for any of you just if you think it’s fun.
