#two idiots flirting and mutual pining are some of my favorite tropes

[averycutesalamander]

alpha boothill yearning after beta reader... it's driving him up the fucking WALL because he can't tell if you earnestly have no idea that he wants you or if you're trying to dissuade him by acting oblivious. you're sweet and earnest and kind and soft in all the ways he isn't, and he'd have to be deaf, blind, and stupid not to like you. the two of you are an impeccable duo, and you balance each other perfectly; you know when to calm him down on missions, and he knows when to rile you up for a fight.

he likes you. really, really likes you. he's not subtle about it, either - and he's pretty sure just about everybody knows it the moment they lay eyes on the two of you in the same room.

everybody but you.

to be blunt, he really doesn't give a damn that you're a beta; it makes no difference to him. you're funny and witty and you smell like home, and that's all that matters. or, well - it wouldn't make a difference if you weren't so fucking oblivious.

on some days, he's convinced that you're just playing dumb - that you're teasing him just like you always do. on other days, he has to wonder if you really, seriously have no idea.

you touch him so nonchalantly that he can't tell if you're trying to tempt him or if you're just being casually physical. you badger him about his safety every time he does something obscenely reckless, like he wasn't literally made for war. you tease him and taunt him and play along with him in a way that he swears is flirting, but every time he flirts back, you just laugh it off like he's joking.

he needs help with a repair one day and you nonchalantly offer to give him a hand, but he just makes the damage worse because his hands are shaking so badly from your proximity. and then you say "alright, just tell me what I need to fix." and he enters a brand new circle of hell because you're leaning so close and you smell so good and your hands are so gentle and he just has to grit his teeth because he's STILL NOT SURE IF YOU EVEN LIKE HIM??

meanwhile you're losing YOUR mind because you were raised in a family of betas and you have no clue what the hell is happening. you know his scent changes when you're around in a way that it never does around anyone else, and you can't figure out why. you ask an omega friend about it, and they immediately claim that he's into you, but you swear that he's so unbelievably out of your league that the idea of him liking you like that is laughable. actually, no - he's not just out of your league; he's playing a whole different game.

that doesn't stop you from hoping, though.

you try to flirt physically in that way that you've seen omegas do, but he always freezes up, and you can't tell if he's flustered or if he's trying to figure out how to dodge your advances. he's absurdly protective of you, and you aren't sure if that's just an alpha thing or if it means something more. you try to flirt with him like a beta, with all the teasing and whatnot, and while he does reciprocate, you can't be certain that he's not just playing along for your sake, so you always end up playing it off as something friendly.

the two of you are scouting on an arctic planet for what you thought was going to be a brief stint, but you end up staying longer than expected. you were smart enough to bring your winter gear, but you did away with your scarf, convinced that you wouldn't need it for such a short trip. the cold starts biting into you just a bit too harshly, stinging your cheeks, and suddenly he's unclipping his cape and slinging it around your shoulders, avoiding eye contact and mumbling something about how he "can't have ya gettin' sick." you're completely baffled, but that doesn't stop you from curling the fabric against your face, and fuck, he smells so good it should be illegal.

you always hear people describe omegas as the ones that smell sweet, but you could swear he's sweeter than honey - but it's only ever around you, and that doesn't make any fucking sense.

you've done way more reading on alphas than you ever thought you'd need and you STILL can't get a straight answer on any of this, because there are apparently a million reasons that an alpha's scent can change around particular people. and apparently people that undergo body modifications like him can have their scents altered or removed completely? so maybe it means nothing actually?

yeah. yeah, it probably means nothing. it's hysterical that you're even entertaining this line of thought when you aren't even an omega. why would an alpha as tough as him settle for a beta? ridiculous. delusional, even.

and then one day you get a call from him out of the blue. you pick up, expecting to be graced with yet another thirty minute rant about some IPC moron he just killed-

only to be met with the rumble of his voice, dark and tempting and rich, panting and moaning your name with an unmistakable desperation.

turns out that he just entered his first rut since his body was replaced - which he didn't even think was possible anymore - and he couldn't think of anyone to call other than you.

or, perhaps more accurately - he didn't want to call anyone other than you.

Goddess-Clarke’s Bellarke Masterlist

It’s finally here!!!! It took me literal months to compile this HUGE list of Bellarke fics but I felt like this was a good time to get it out to you guys. I feel like with the influx of canon bellarke information, we’ve gotten both validation and heartache. So here are some of my favorite fics (196 of them to be exact). I tried to group them first by canonverse/modernverse. Then by main trope (marriage, babies, canon divergent, roomates, etc). I also then put the smaller tropes in parentheses so you guys can find something specific you’re looking for like angst, fluff, oneshots or multichapter, bed sharing, smut, etc. I also wanted to write in trigger warnings (TW) when I could, though tbh there aren’t very many because most of these are fluffy. I also put a small warning when Bellarke is in other major relationships at any point during the fic because tbh I hate not knowing that.

My favorites are two idiots pining and enemies to friends to lovers and the character I would pick would have to be Denki Kaminari

LMAO OMG Denki is so perfect for the pining idiots trope. I can see it so clearly because for some reason I’m convinced that he thinks he’s not popular (romantically) and the ways he flirts vs you flirt just somehow managed to be on a different wavelength so everyone else around you have to watch you two flirting outrageously while the other person is not receiving the message AT ALL. Damn, it’ll probably take a good ol “they like you they really like you so can you just fucking lift your chin up and ask them out” from your mutual friends to both of you for it to finally move forward lolol

[valtsv]

what are some of your favorite romantic tropes?

oohooHOO *rubs my romantic little homosexual hands together*

rivals to lovers (obviously)

childhood best friends to lovers

mutual pining

mutual pining but not because they’re repressed or tragically divided by their duties or allegiances or anything, they’re just too stupid to realize that they’re both being flirted with the entire goddamn time

extremely powerful and intimidating non-human being falls for the first Dumbass McNobody to call them a bitch to their face

a variation of that trope where the powerful being falls for the idiot too dumb of ass to be scared of them but pure of heart and full of love enough to admire their raw strength and power and find them attractive despite any monstrous features they may have

yet ANOTHER variation of the trope where the powerful being is the chill one who is extremely impressed by their fragile but fiery human S.O.

gentle tall x feral small

overprotective worrywart x reckless showoff (aka “what kind of idiot - oh shit that’s MY idiot)

the battle couple

“screw love triangles, we all have TWO hands”

normally stoic secretly pining character gets hurt/sick and shock or delirium has them confessing all their secret feelings

character gets hurt/sick and their normally stoic secret admirer confesses all their feelings because they’re terrified they’re about to lose them and/or don’t think they’ll remember what they said or realize that they’re awake and can hear them

the ��i don’t know much… but i do know i love you” moronic duo

partners in crime (often combined with the moronic duo)

sun/moon; red/blue; devil/angel… just the complementary opposites dynamic in general

“you’re the only person on this entire planet i can vibe with (so how about let’s ditch these clowns and make out)”

reformed villain trying to do the right thing which is strongly motivated by their desire to impress the one person who sees the potential for good in them so that they might eventually be worthy of their love and can confess their true feelings (but they’re not above fucking shit up if said crush gets injured or threatened)

the thing where one person scoops up the other and carries them to safety (sometimes with them still shouting/shooting at their opponents)

fake dating for an undercover mission gets a little too real (and then they both have to work even harder to convince the other person that it’s not an act after the mission is completed)

everyone just assumes they’re dating, resulting in some hilariously confusing interactions and panicked realizations of feelings when the truth finally comes out that that isn’t the case

SHIPPING INFO: Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse?

The Hellblazer canon ones, of course. But out of those, I’m just gonna say JohnZee since the other characters are not reoccuring DC characters that anyone would even think to RP, lol. My rarepair is JohnClark, but don’t get me started because I will literally never shutup about why this ship is Poetic Cinema.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

One Night Stands: John is a horny fool. Bonus points if your character does the walk of shame the morning after. It’s okay, he won’t tell, he likes dirty little secrets. ; )

Fluff: Naturally, John takes a long time to open up but once he does, he’s somewhat of a  ( purposeful ) cornball. This is the hardest level to Unlock(TM).

Sexual Tension Denial: John’s doesn’t have the worst reputation. I’m sure there’s still a lot of superheroes that wanna smash but tell themselves they don’t because they’re trying to upkeep their sense of morals. But John knows the truth. >: )

Angst: John’s a hard person to love, not just because he has commitment issues and 7 suitcases of unresolved trauma, but everyone he loves gets killed because of him, so. Sorry in advanced.

Dating Experiments: Dating period that doesn’t really work out for whatever reason. Could turn out awkward, or neutral, or whatever you want.

Crash and Burn: The “We loved each other but it still didn’t work. We tried, though, we really did.” trope fucks me up.

Toxic Relationships: The nature of John’s past trauma, the traumatizing job he has right now, and his coping mechanisms are a recipe for disaster. John has a lot of anger, and outbursts, and shuts down a lot. One of his defense mechanisms is crossing the line and pissing you off so you’ll leave him and as a result, have a safer life. Relationship could flop depending on how the other person responds to him, or it could struggle along until the other person finally realizes John isn’t going to help himself.

Bitter Ex: Dump him, he’s trash. Throw his clothes out the window, try to smash his head with a beer bottle. Be bitter about it and have snarky banter whenever you cross paths!

Selfless Breakup: John breaks up with your muse because he wants to keep you safe. John admitting this is optional. 

Breakups: Break up with John, break his heart. He will probably let you because he thinks he deserves it. But maybe one day he’ll get really drunk and knock on your door at 3AM crying about it. :’ )

 Booty Calls: John is down for any kind of sex, threesomes, non-humans, etc. I don’t really RP smut though, but you’re more than welcome to. Or make implications if the time comes for it.

Unrequited: Honestly, you could do better, please don’t pine over this fool.

Really anything. Weird shit happens all the time. Shoot me your ideas.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

John is anywhere from 35 - 60 on this blog. John won’t really be interested being in a committed relationship with someone significantly younger than him. I’d say 10 years younger is the absolute max. If your muse is 35+, he won’t care that much. 

Are you selective when shipping?

John’s compatibility is hard to match. He doesn’t really seek out committed relationships, and if he does, he does it on the basis that he doesn’t expect it to be long term. 

He is sociable and flirty when he has good drinking days, but he’s not that willing to get vulnerable for other people. Especially since he gets everyone killed when they become part of his life. 

John also doesn’t think he deserves love, among other issues related to trauma.

If anyone is interested in John they’re going to need to be really patient and actually TRY to understand who he is instead of making assumptions on his reputation. He lives a VERY different life than normal people, the rules that apply to the occult and everything associated do not always match with the real world. He has to make difficult choices daily and he’s not always proud of them. Your muse has to understand that they’re not entirely in a place to judge, and may not entirely ever understand.

PATIENCE.

Also be ready to take on a lot of emotional baggage.

 Are you attracted to habitual smoking and drinking? 

If your muse is not a Good Character a long-term committed relationship will probably not last. John can be terrible on his bad days, but at his core he needs someone that fosters positive emotions and will push him to be better. He always reaches out to people that carry the kind of light he wishes he had. John regresses very easily, he can’t last long in environments where negativity festers. He’s not strong enough to commit to people that are as broken as him; he’s much better giving them help and sending them on their way. But even the “bad” ships are still ships, so.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

anything involving genital mention i guess??

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

@hraunwyf because loki, an immortal goddess, falling in love with someone like john constantine is nothing short of dramatic and spicy

@cardshcrp two idiots and maybe future exes ; )

[ FREE SPACE FOR ANY AND ALL CLARKS WINKWONK, ]

There are other blogs I’m mutuals with where John flirts w/ them, and has had some spicy stuff but im probably not active enough for them to have gotten far in development nfkndg

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

Up to you.

How often do you like to ship?

John isn’t the “shippy” type, so I never really prioritize it.

Are you multiship?

Sure, there’s enough trash man Johnny to go around if you’re really that eager to ruin your life,

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

Ship-less.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

JohnClark. I’m the captain of the ship and I will go down with it honorably,

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Flirt with John and see where it goes. 

Message me about it if you want to explore a ‘what-if,’ those conversations are fun.
