Not just lovers.
But each other’s half. Each other’s person.
Each other’s destiny. And each other’s bane.

just thinking about house. just thinking about house and wilson's offices and how their decor choices reflect how they display themselves.
just thinking about how house keeps all sorts of random crap lying around his office: his guitar, his lacrosse balls, random antique-looking pieces, little trinkets. stuff to play with. he's always fidgeting or trying to master new skills like the juggling and playing lacrosse with his cane on the wall. he does it loud and obviously like with the guitar and his music on the radio. he wants his items to be seen as personal, as the things that make him up. he displays them so loudly so everyone knows that through being the best at what he does, he's earned the right to be himself as loudly as he wants. to do whatever he wants. it means he makes the right choice by sacrificing relationships, human connection, niceties, because now no one stops him from being 'free'. it's a performance to convince himself that it's all worth it.
just thinking about how wilson keeps a pretty neat office, but the 'personal' items he keeps around as decor are mostly gifts from patients. he struggles to put things around that represent himself, so he represents his relationships with his patients instead. he shows off how caring and connected he is, but doesn't show much about himself at all. he displays them to prove to himself that as long as he has all these relationships, he doesn't need a 'self'. it's a performance to convince himself it's all worth it.
tl:dr- house displays his 'self' to prove he doesn't need relationships, and wilson displays his relationships to prove he doesn't need a 'self'.
#house md#gregory house#james wilson#dr house#hilson#malpractice md#dr wilson#wilson house md#does this make sense#it's been bouncing around in my head since last night#like that they each have a version of themselves that they perform for others#and a version of themselves they can't quite reach#and they're opposites of one another#i love it when hilson are two sides of the same coin#down to the office decor

merlin: this is a bad idea. like one of your worst ones yet. i'm telling you, we should just do what i say. this is gonna be a disaster.
arthur: oh come on merlin, don't be so dramatic.
*the bad thing that merlin said would happen happens. they fix it. it's fine*
merlin, smug: so-
arthur, tired: don't start.
merlin, even more smug: don't start what? all i'm saying is that i'm glad everything worked out alright. though if you had listened to me earlier the entire thing could've been avoided.
arthur, staring a hole into merlin's head:
merlin, staring right back: ...i told you so.
arthur: i got that. thank you.
*merlin hums and wanders off. arthur watches him. slowly a smile spreads across his face*
arthur, murmuring to himself: he is the most insufferable man i've ever met.
*arthur giving order after order to merlin. cuts himself off and informs merlin that visitors are arriving tomorrow so he should get started on preparations. merlin is annoyed and tries to argue back*
arthur: just do as i say. i'm your king after all.
merlin: a prat is what you are.
arthur, already walking away: that's treason!
*merlin stares as arthur walks off and runs into some of his knights down the hall. they chat for a moment and arthur says something that makes them laugh. he turns to look over his shoulder at merlin with a grin and a wave before turning back to the conversation*
merlin, fighting his own grin: he's the most infuriating man i've ever met.

The fact that Tsubomi didnt end up as Mob's gf and became her friend is so important, it strenghtes the entire friendship motif of the series have and breaks the trope of there having to be romance between a boy and a girl, the friendzone isnt bad its just that ppl have been conditioned to think that it is, for Mob and Tsubomi could be one of the best things that happened in their lives. Im sure she wanted to have a friend that she could open up to without being judged and without having the risk of her being seen as just a love interest by them. I have the feeling that Tsubomi would enjoy being silly once in a while, leave the "school idol" status she has and I think Mob also likes to be silly! Based on the cake prank on reigen at the epilogue and Mob telling Dimple he didnt remember him during the Mogami Arc, Id love to see them being silly together as besties, laughing together loudly at dumb shit or messing with their other friends. Maybe at some point he invites her to hang out with the rest of his friends, going shopping w Teru, hanging out w the telepathy club, or just anything really, she deserves more true friends. And since tsubomi isnt impressed by anything psychic/supernatural related, Mob can tell her about his little shenanigans at spirits n such without being weirded out or anything, she'll just listen and its the same for Mob's side, he's good at understanding and giving a safe place to speak, I know I said it already but she really needs true friends that wouldnt wish bad things upon her or see her as a prize.
#ami chat#mob psycho 100#mob text#shigeo kageyama#tsubomi takane#this also goes w aroace mob and tsubomi hc#they are made for each other but in a platonic way#they do kinda are two sides of the same coin of wanting true friendships and relationships while being true to themselves#and being seen as an actual person and not a tool or unreachable or a monster or anything#also mob n teru get tsubomi into that one brand that made the ugly ass monkey shirt#or maybe she already secretly likes it lmao#i wanted to say more but my thoughts are all scrambled#anyways tsubomi is underrated#mob psycho spoilers

There's just something very specific about homoerotic character-enveloping friendships from around 2010 where they're semi-aware that gay people exist but queerbaiting isn't quite a thing yet sp their relationship consumes the narrative and changes them both irrevocably forever and they end in tragedy but the ending is JUST open enough for the fic writers to wriggle into that just makes me go fucking FERAL
#yes this is about trobed and merthur#trobed#merthur#merlin emrys#merlin x arthur#troy x abed#abed nadir#troy barnes#arthur pendragon#geothermal escapism#the diamond of the day#these two ships fundamentally altered my brain chemistry#I'll just be doing something else and randomly think about them#i honest to god don't think they'd be as poweful without the tragedy#i want to read every fix it fic specifically because of the unfinished tragic nature of their endings#because of the ways these characters fundamentally alter each other's lives so they can't exist without each other#platonic romantic who cares it's queer baby#two sides of the same coin

Homeward Bound - Smokey Old Man Outis and Heathcliff
#gettit cus Outis has bound her course towards her home and Heath is bound to WH.#ngl this has really hammered in that these two are two sides of a similar enough coin. no wonder they share so many EGO#the 'before I take your home' bit fits specially well with Heath and how he sees himself as bringing inevitable destruction#and with Outis it connects to how her icon says 'I have my family. They had theirs.' implying that the home she took away was the families#of either her men or her enemies. probably both#also smoke#other quotes:#'I wanted to go home but couldn't make it.'#'like it was wishing to let go of a longing'#'It was my only home...'#'Yes... This is my home I can't return to. It saddens me just to look... but if I can't do even that my mind wouldn't be at ease'#really reversed engineered an abno outta them huh.#normal tags:#fanart#limbus company#heathcliff lcb#outis lcb#⛈️👢#fan E.G.Os

something i think about a little too often is how visually compatible both arwen and merthur are in terms of the color scheme (i am not an expert on color theory i just like analyzing things)
first, you have arwen
they’re visually compatible. there’s no point in denying it. the white, purple, and silver blend together nicely. i like how soft and glowy they look as a pair. the only thing that doesn’t really match would be arthur’s red cape with gwen’s dress, but otherwise it’s clear that they’re meant to be seen in a radiant light
then you have merlin and arthur
they’re also very clearly visually compatible. their whole color scheme is blue and red😭 which are often paired together,, then you have the silver and brown, which still blends in with the rest of the colors
while arthur and gwen are radiant, merlin and arthur are seen as different yet match perfectly— they’re meant to be looked at. another thing is that, out of the both of them, arthur is known to wear red aka “pendragon red” while merlin would wear a lot more blue in the earlier seasons. now, he’ll wear some blue but usually a lot of red, which may represent how merlin has been taken over by arthur and how devoted he is to him
#bbc merlin#merlin fandom#merlin#arthur pendragon#merthur#arthur x merlin#merlin and arthur#gwen and arthur#arwen#color analysis#guinevere#i don’t ship arwen but even i can appreciate how good they look together 😔#but i do think merlin and arthur are purposely meant to be seen as each other’s halves#two sides of the same coin

"I have a secret."
Arthur looks up from a report and glances across the room absentmindedly to Merlin holding a dagger he was polishing in his lap as he watches Arthur with a tilt of his head.
Arthur huffs a laugh, "Is it that you're secretly a girl?"
Merlin's lips tick upward for just a moment before continuing his stare.
Arthur watches him for a few moments, and then puts his quill down.
"You have a secret." Arthur repeats seriously.
Merlin just smiles, a small one, "I have a secret. It's an important one. But I can't tell you the secret. And I can't tell you why I can't tell you."
Arthur squints his eyes as Merlin looks down to keep polishing.
"Are you in danger?"
Merlin pauses to think which makes Arthur clench his fists in worry, not that he'd say that.
"...I suppose," He says slowly, thinking over his words, "But it's to my understanding- at this time at least -that it's no more or less dangerous for me whether you know or not. I do think it may be more dangerous for you if you know though."
Arthur hums and watches Merlin's face but sees nothing but earnestness as they meet eyes across the room.
"And why do you tell me this?"
Merlin just smiles again, but bigger this time, "I've decided I trust you with it. I trusted you before of course," he add hurriedly as if Arthur would ever think otherwise,
"But I just realized that I trust you with this, too. And this is something I've never trusted anyone enough to share it with- before I mean. And if it comes up, well, I'd rather be able to tell you that I can't tell you then to lie to you. So, this is me telling you there's a secret."
Arthur looks thoughtfully before raising one eyebrow along with a ghost of a smirk on his face, "So you have a secret you can't tell me. But you trust me with it. When do I get to hear the secret?"
Merlin leans his head on his hand as he looks sideways at him impishly, "I will tell you no lie if you ask."
Arthur hears the unspoken words bright as day:
I'm not going to say anything by myself cause I don't think it's time yet, but I will tell you the truth regardless if you so choose.
Arthur hums to himself before nodding once and then twice, ignoring the giddiness in his heart.
Picking up his quill again, he says, "You missed a spot," so he can hear his manservant squawk from across the room, "I'm not finished yet, you prat!"
They meet gazes one more time with matching fire in their eyes and grins on their faces before resuming their activities.
It's nice to be trusted.

the duality of Bradley not being able to rely on anyone and Jake not being good with people who need him
something about their different shades of hyper-independence and how it breaks them when they’re young — but how it’s actually a blessing when they’re older, and a tiny bit wiser, and realizing that the way they are aligns well with the breathing room they both want and can give each other
it never feels like Bradley needs Jake, not like that, and Bradley can rely on himself and Jake will be there regardless
it’s the silver lining, the off kilter gift of their relationship in the long run
#hangster#jake hangman seresin#jake seresin#bradley rooster bradshaw#bradley bradshaw#top gun maverick#top gun#rambles#the way this works fascinates me two sides of the same coin baby#something something choosing to be together not because you need each other but because you want to!!!#sereshaw

Where’s that text post that’s like “Wilson is kind, gentle death and House is rough, painful life” because first of all, GO OFF; second of all, I have more to add:
House is justice; Wilson is clemency.
House is harsh truth; Wilson is comforting lies.
House is abrasive idealism; Wilson is resigned realism.
House is spiky vulnerability; Wilson is velvet guardedness.
House is constructive cruelty; Wilson is destructive kindness.
House is focused passion; Wilson is diffuse romance.
House is a gleeful perpetrator; Wilson is a willing victim.
House is self-sabotage; Wilson is self-sacrifice.
#and that's not to say they are opposites#they are two sides of the same coin#and they often flip these roles#but only for each other#these kind of make it seem like i hate wilson but let me assure you i love him#perhaps too much#hilson#house#house md#house x wilson#hate crimes md

Need a story where Arthur is a ghost who follows Merlin around all day and only in dreams can he communicate and touch Merlin. But to Merlin, he thinks it's not real that he's imagining the Arthur in his mind because no way would Arthur, his golden King would ever call him precious or beautiful, it's just wishful thinking on his part.
So Merlin lives a long life without knowing Arthur is there with him, this time it's Arthur's turn to watch and protect Merlin from the shadows as the warlock once did when Arthur was alive.
Arthur could've stayed in Avalon til he was needed yet the urge to return to Merlin is powerful, although he entrusted the care of Camelot into the hands of Guinevere and Leon he could not do the same of Merlin, and only upon his death did he finally realise why.
He was in love with his best friend. Always had been.
And so it is with great stubbornness and a helpful hand from Freya, whom he just found out was Merlin's first love, he frees himself from Avalon and returns as a spirit that guards Merlin's dreams from nightmares and fights off evil creatures that want Merlin's magic or wish to claim Merlin for themselves...and if some of those creatures happen to be humans who wanted to court Merlin well, he's not going to make it easy on them, on his knight's honour he will protect Merlin's virtue!
