#what's brotp but for rivals?

How They Show Affection aka OC Dynamics / Kohaku Edition

[lefaystrent]

Logince (Logan/Roman) is brotp for me. Specifically where they are unrequited rivals, meaning one of them views the other as a rival while the other is completely oblivious.

Academic AU? Logan has color-coded notes, studies with flashcards even as he walks to classes, and always plays an active role in lectures. Meanwhile, Logan is floored and seething at seeing his classmate Roman who never takes notes, doodles during lectures, finishes exams within the first five minutes before everyone else, and somehow still scores at the top of the class. Livid, Logan convinces himself Roman must be cheating and seeks to expose him. But Roman is like, "Dude, I just really like history. Do you need help studying or something?" And to Logan's humiliation, Roman is quite knowledgeable on top of being charming, witty, and chivalrous. Roman is beyond flattered to hear that Logan views him as his rival and teases him relentlessly for it. They become bros of course.

Superhero AU? Despite Roman's successes as a hero, he is baffled and envious to find that fellow superhero Logan dominates the news headlines. They both debuted around the same time. Roman saves just as many civilians and stops just as many villains. So what does Logan have that he doesn't? It burns him up so much that he starts trailing Logan during his patrols, even trying to beat the bad guys first and often getting in Logan's way. Logan somehow concludes that Roman must be a fan of his and wants to be his sidekick/partner, despite Roman boldly declaring several times that they are rivals. Logan suggests they train together to improve their teamwork. Roman takes it as a challenge of course, thinking that Logan is testing him. He's reluctant to admit that Logan actually makes a good trainer/training partner and that he's inordinately pleased whenever Logan praises him. And to be fair, they do make a kick ass team. Many weeks, months, years later it dawns on Logan. "Oh. You were competing against me?" And Roman has a conniption.

Would you like to do a smg4 shipping chart?

OOH, never thought I'd get this request sent, but sure!

(I do apologise for the low quality and the shaky lines, but hopefully this can get my point across for now. So as for for my explanations behind every one);

I have been absolutely obsessed since Western Spaghetti about Meggy and Tari to the point where I have several headcanons about the both of them (and even a fic which i might post but you didn't hear it from me) because I think their dynamic is pinpoint PERFECTION. Best friends to lovers where they are both actively making each other better and stronger people while also navigating through anxiety, trauma, high expectations and all while going through more insane things every year? AND IT'S YURI??? I don't think you get any better than that. Although I wish with all my heart that Tari should've been the one to develop the most in the Puzzlevision Arc and maybe start dating Meggy as a result, I respect Glitch's decisions story-wise and cope in the form of Meta Runner and my delusions :] .

As for my Like ships, they're pretty self explanatory. Axol and Melony do deserve the happiest of endings, they've both been through Hell and back and deserve a nice break. Smg4 and 3 are very good together, their chemistry is definitely noticeable and boy-oh-boy, are they still trying to repress the events of Snowtrapped. (do NOT search this up young fans I beg of you save yourselves-) In Sunset Paradise it's very VERY hard not to blush when Whisk is on screen, and the tension between her and Meggy gives off vibes like "I want to kill you but in a way that makes it hot," if that makes any sense? So there's no doubt that things are super enjoyable on screen when those two come out. I'd assume judging from Belle's personality that her and Whisk would be about the same as her and Meggy, but with probably a bit more banter and flirting. Swag and Chris are obviously an old married couple so not too much to unpack there.

Now onto the brotps an' the notps, Meggy and Desti really were great rivals. Fierce enough to get the other riled up and ready to fight while still friendly enough that their own fighting didn't get in the way of life threatening events. Maybe that's why Wren thought he could try and recruit Meggy in the end, to try and prolong something so significant to her he couldn't even begin to wrap his head around it. Saiko and Kaizo are just bros. They just do chaotic stuff and it's glorious. Bob and Boopkins, despite how one sided their friendship looks, are, in my opinion one of the deepest in the show. There's a real reason why Bob sticks around and why Boopkins never seems to mind his bullying and that's because of his unrelenting kindness. Boopkins saw a person, a friend, in a guy who, from the outside was only concerned about money and watching Butter Birdo, and Bob sticks up for him when push comes to shove because of that kindness.

For the notps, Mario and Luigi say what's on the box. NO. For Meggy and Mario, I just think somewhere in the back of my mind that if they actually got together, only Meggy's going to end up doing the work for their relationship. It would just feel super one sided if they were to end up as a couple from what I can tell from their dynamic, so I highly believe they're better off staying friends.

Bonus, if Axol never met Melony I think it'd be funny if he just had a crush on Hatsune Miku instead. I'm not elaborating on this any further. Also Karen's just tired, so I don't really think she needs any romance in her life right now.

Anyway thank you so much for the ask! I've never really answered something in this much detail so I apologise if I ranted too much

Favorite thing about them

Fucking. Everything? I adore robots and he's a cyborg. I adore aliens and he's an alien. I love characters with four arms and guess what. On aesthetics alone he's gorgeous to me. He's been my fav character in star wars ever since I saw him in the movies, and He's been probably one of my top favorite character since then as well. Disclaimer, but I like the Legends backstory for him so much more so I usually default to that when talking about him. His backstory??? MWAH. MAGNIFICENT. STUNNING. POETIC. LIED TO AND USED ALL OF HIS LIFE? He thinks always that he is doing what is best for his people. He lost his literal other half in the war, his true soulmate to slavers of his people, swept into the sea. He changed his name to grievous to let his grief be known to all of his enemies??? My fucking GOD. He was a demigod among his people. He is a canon polyamourous king who has several wives and sired many children. He was a strategic mastermind and sought out by the sith for his genius. His hatred of the jedi was falsely implanted in him by sith interference. He thinks that the jedi are to blame for his cyborg body when it was the sith all along. Fuck man. I couldn't write a better character if I tried, and I have. Literally a character so doomed by the narrative that he is the epitome of tragedy to me.

Least favorite thing about them

I understand why he has to lose a lot, because the primary message of star wars is that good always triumphs over evil. The light will always beat the dark. I get that. I just dislike how he seems to lose in ways that are embarrassing? Anytime he loses it seems to be in an almost childish way that's unbecoming of him. It's why my favorite rivals for him are Obi Wan or Kit Fisto. Both of them are incredibly intelligent jedi masters that use strategy and his own ego against him, which make the times he is defeated against them more satisfying than other times.

Favorite line

Jedi. You are surrounded. Your army is decimated. Make peace with the force, now. For this is your final hour. But know that I, General Grievous, am not completely without mercy. I will grant you a warrior's death. Prepare! (followed by one of the sickest fucking lightsaber fights ever)

brOTP

Hard to answer. He doesn't have many friends. I wouldn't consider them friends exactly but his bickering with Asajj Ventress is always a treat.

OTP

I've dabbled in almost every grievous ship I can think of. I can't say I prefer one more than the others enough to make it an OTP. Some of my favs are obigrievous, asajj x grievous, Ronderu x Grievous, and dooku x grievous. TECHNICALLY one of my favorite ships features an original character from a fic I've read. Fanfic writers who make compelling and engaging OCs for their fics are amazing *wink wink nudge nudge at the person who sent this.*

nOTP

None I can think of.

Random headcanon

The Kaleesh are a reptilian species in general, that will not stop me from giving him some cat-isms. What if he purrs. What if his eyes get big when he sees something he likes. What if he likes scenting things. What if he bellows like a crocodile. What if he chuffs like a tiger. Shut up.

unpopular opinion

I already stated this, but I prefer his Legends backstory over his canon one. I've come around to not hating his canon one as much as I used to, but I still prefer the other.

song i associate with them

Literally I cannot think of one. I am a failure. A sham. A facsimile of my former self.

favorite picture of them

All of them, but this has been my discord icon forever. I have no clue who drew it but it was part of a doodle page here on tumblr and for the life of me I cannot find the original artist.

[mantequillamcwhoremick]

kenny for the ask meme 🧡

Fantastic. Let's get the most important one out of the way🧡🧡 The silliest little booger🫶🫶🫶

Favorite thing about them:

Two things; his unwavering kindness and his immortality.

I love how kind and sweet and charitable he has remained despite, or maybe because of, all the horrors that he's been through. He could've become a cynical asshole and I wouldn't blame him, but instead he dedicated his time caring for his sister, become a symbol of hope for South Park and become a philanthropist once he became rich enough to afford it.

His immortality is just a dope fucking concept and I have so many different AUs and stories in progress where it's the centered topic. It just fascinates me i love it

Least favorite thing about them:

Literally nothing. I love all his ugly ass booger attributes. Even his stupid ass hair dryer side profile. Maybe I hate that he doesn't have enough episodes where he's the main character

Favorite Line:

"Yeah, people don't even care if shit's dumped everywhere. Everyone just loves technology."

"Sometimes, people do stupid things. Sometimes they don't realize what should have come first. Until it's too late."

(Sorry I couldn't pick just one. He's my favorite little guy.)

BrOTP:

Kenny & Kyle >:))) their friendship is SO unexplored even though they have so much canon potential. The fact that Kenny went to Kyle to get his help as Mysterion "because I think you are the smartest kid in class" is so telling for how much he respects Kyle. Then also that Kyle is the one to initiate Kenny's cheesing intervention in the major boobage episode speaks for how Kyle cares for him. And the "I can't die" "It's not pretty cool, Kyle, it fucking hurts!" conversation is so juicy and full of interesting conflict potential. Maybe that's why K2 are the dynamic that receives arguably the most attention in my fic🫶

Also Kenny & Tweek. SO MUCH untapped potential in that dynamic.

And Kenny & Cartman!!! They're such interesting foils in every way, the "fat ugly mean kid and the detached loner poor kid", both the poorest kids at their schools and both with a fascinating dynamic with Butters. They're best friends and rivals, they're each other's biggest haters and somehow have a soft spot for each other too.

OTP:

Kenny and Butters. I'm not gonna elaborate because I'd be sitting here all day but if I could summarize it I'd point you to Mysterion vs Chaos, the fact that Paladin Butters had a canon crush on princess Kenny in TSOT, their canon sugar daddy/baby dynamic in post covid when Butters literally scammed everyone else in his path, and the fact that I love tragic characters finding joy and wonder in each other.

nOTP:

Can't really say any bc Kenny has interesting dynamics with everyone lol but if I have to name popular romantic ships that I just don't see I'd name Crenny and Stenny shjshsk SORRY

Random Headcanon:

He loves food and eats FAST like a starving animal (licking his fingers afterwards and everything) he's not exactly the kid your mom would love for his dinner table manners

Unpopular Opinion:

He isn't suave or handsome. IRKS me when he's a big ladies' man in fics. He's stinky and not an overly smooth flirt; any attention he gets from girls is because he's genuinely kind and sweet

Song I associate with them:

Favorite Picture of Them:

He's such a wannabe mysterious little fucker

[autisticshadowthehedgehog]

ok question. silver is from an apocolypse future and went back in time to try and fix it right? i was under the impression that blaze was ALSO from that future and went back in time with him. but apparently she's a princess from another dimension? what?

Okay so here's the rundown:

Blaze was created for and introduced in Sonic Rush (2005), where she is FIRMLY established as the princess in a long line of guardians of her dimension's versions of the chaos emeralds, the Sol Emeralds, and the longtime rival of her version of Eggman, Eggman Nega. Rush Adventure expands her dimension's worldbuilding a bit more but Rush is important because Blaze makes her first friend ever (Cream, then Sonic)

Sonic Rush was popular

Sonic 06 was rushed as HELL. FAMOUSLY rushed as hell. They pushed that shit out with more glitches than lines of code

Blaze appears in that game as Silver's friend from his future. It is never established why or how she is there, and she only seems to recognize Sonic once– in the English Dub, in the Japanese she doesn't at all. Sonic does not recognize her either despite this occurring after Rush in the timeline. The two of them are in the same room at least once and do not speak to each other. At the end of the game Blaze is like "I'll seal the demon inside myself in a.... parallel dimension. yeah that sounds right" and goes poof and we never see her again

Except??????? Blaze couldn't have just poofed there girl has a whole-ass FAMILY LINE in a dimension with DEEP LORE like???

Also, aside from like. basic NPC quests? Blaze also doesn't speak to anyone in that game aside from Silver– it's not just Sonic she ignores. Not Mephiles, not Amy, not Elise. ONLY Silver. She is the only one to interact with him and vice-versa.

A lot of us read into that a lot of ways the but the honest truth is she was probably yeeted into the game late in development cause they realized Silver needed someone to talk to.

Other evidence for this is that her '06 profile mentions stuff about her that was not in Rush– for instance, an Elsa-Gloves Cape that she only had in Rush's concept art. This implies that they got the bare minimum information and just threw some shit at the wall. They were like "okay. cape, other dimension, fire powers. got it" and missed like. the emeralds and eggman and self-isolation and. princess

The best thing to come out of this tho is Blaze and Silver's brOTP. (or OTP if you're into that) Though the '06 timeline was erased, Silver and Blaze have a familiarity with each other in Colors DS that they can't quite place, and show up as buddies in a lot of media and it's so fucking cute I love them

tl;dr play or watch the sonic rush games

[rainbowcarousels]

I'm going to need your thoughts Sephiroth for the character asks 🥹🖤3 <3 <3

Sexuality Headcanon: Gay. So gay. Did I mention he's gay? I mean I think there is some potential wiggle room with Aerith but that's because her balls are bigger than his.

Gender Headcanon: I think in practice from an outsider POV, more agender than anything else. Gender is not really something that he thinks of and interacts with other than his discomfort with how he gets portrayed in the media. That said, I think if you asked him, he would say CIS male because that's how he self identifies so I'll respect that and say CIS male.

A ship I have with said character: Have I mentioned Genseph to you lately? No? Then I must be dead. Like I love AGSZC, I do, and even more than that, I love AGS in general because I believe they balance each other out but I could happily ship Genesis/Sephiroth on it's own maerits, but I can't see Sephiroth/Angeal on it's own. It's not a notp or anything, it just doesn't work in terms of balance for me. Genesia and Sephiroth fire and ice in balance and it just works. They push and pull at each other, both literally and metaphorically, and what they say and what their body says are sometimes in total contrast which fascinates me. Genesis is quite literally the choatic colour for a monochromatic world and Sephiroth needs that chaos to find himself so he doesn't get the desire for human smores.

A BROTP I have with said character: It's a toss up. I would say Aerith because that same feral energy comes from her (family trait clearly) but they both also have this shared experience of being former Shinra lab kiddos and her enthusiasm is only rivalled by Zack's. I feel like Sephiroth always needs someone to just grab him and move instead of asking him to come along and Aerith does that. That said, professionally, I'm fond of him and Tseng interacting. Like they have so much to deal with between choatic red heads and Heidegger being a few fries short of a moogle meal at his job, let them bond.

A NOTP I have with said character: Vincent. I can't ship something where 'that's not how your mum used to do it' is a response that could be canonically correct.

A random headcanon: Understands so much more than he's given credit for. I love to write roboseph as much as the next person, but I feel like he leans into it in a very Captain Holt type way and it's become part of his sense of humour to fuck with people by pretending he doesn't understand something or that he's not understanding their meaning till they get annoyed and let him be or call him on it. This is helped along by being so deadpan that it's almost impossible to know when he's being serious. He is a study in microexpressions and few people understand them.

General Opinion over said character: I think one of the things that throws me about Sephiroth is when people can't see CC era Sephiroth being the same guy as OG/AC era Sephiroth, but for me, this is one of the things that drew me to him as a character. That he is someone who got broken into pieces and is picking them up, emulating people, trying to rebuild a sense of self but clinging onto this belief that he's special because he's always been special. Like this is a person who is horribly broken in a lot of ways and one day, I want to write AC era and give him an arc with that but I think my main opinion of him is that I love that he's got all of these facets of his character.

He is the kid looking for validation and family from TFS, he is still the awkward dude from CC, he is the person who lost everything and chose to just get a meteor and start over and he's someone who is afraid of losing whatever he has of himself left. Like he contains multitudes, he's a fascinating character made all the more fascinating by the more normal things about him.

I'm curious: what is your most favourite Sonic ship? And which friendship? ^-^

I'm actually not super into any Sonic ship lol. I like a few of them! But for reasons they all belong in the "👍" category

Sonamy has been my main ship since I was little, as I imagine was the case for many kids lol. I am very aware of how big and... passionate the fandom is lol, which gives the ship a bad name, and I sadly struggle to find content that appeals to me, because most people slot them in a classic romantic dynamic. I mentioned it in another post, but my favorite idea for Sonamy is them growing as very close friends, no longer fangirl and object of admiration but true equals, trusting each other and supporting each other. Sonic is more of an introvert who lets his guard down only when necessary, Amy is a bubbly and cheerful extrovert who wishes to make everyone happy, and together they can work and fight and travel together :)

Recently I've also warmed up to Sonelise! My criticism against Sonic's story in '06 prevents me from fully loving them, but the concept is very neat, and this is pretty much the fanon Sonamy most love. Elise is the prime example of someone shy and troubled to which Sonic taught the joy of life, and Sonic does enjoy Elise's presence, perhaps calms him. they cute :>

Knuxamy too! Now this is one hell of a rarepair lol. Of all things, the best Knuxamy content you can find in the wild is Sonic Universe #87-#90! I think they have potential! Again, like Sonamy, it doesn't have to be romantic with kissies and huggies lol, I just think they'd interact well! They seem to be very different, with Knuckles being stubborn and solitary and Amy being all bright and friendly, but both of them are also strong and passionate and reliable in times of need. I like the scenario where she keeps him company on Angel Island :3

Sonknux is my fave rival ship with Sonic lol, and it's not that deep. They have a fun "vitriolic best buds" thing going on. Sonic and Knuckles' interactions are by far my favorite part of Frontiers' story lmao. They butt heads but they respect each other and might even consider each other friends on a good day! Can't go wrong with that.

and special shoutout to sonegg, which i've secretly enjoyed since 2009. let me tell you how happy i was when lost world's plot rotated all around them interacting :p again, to be perfectly clear, it's not a "oh they secretly care about each other" ship, it's a "they want each other dead and yet they have known each other before anyone else, they are more similar than they'd like to admit, they have shaped each other until they have become inseparable, sonic loves the thrill eggman gives him and eggman is motivated by the desire to surpass sonic" ship. hot take but if eggman was an anthro they'd be all about their hot steamy rivalry :p

And when it comes to friendships you cannot go wrong with the classics Sonic and Tails, Amy and Cream, and Shadow and Rouge! All different kinds of unbreakable bonds :> Sonic and Tails are peak brOTP, they are just so 💖

[kyouka-supremacy]

Dazai?

Eheh Dazai

Favorite thing about them: I really like how as a character he was able to deeply touch so many people!! Seeing so many people finding relief in being able to relate to and emphasize with the character makes me happy.

Least favorite thing about them: I mean, his personality? I don't like how his many flaws are written to be interpreted as strong points / good traits for his character to the point no flaw is actually a flaw, it makes the reading experience very frustrating for me.

Favorite line:

brOTP: Mmmmhh, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about Dazai. Soukoku, probably. The Buraiha trio makes me emotional a little. Souheki, but in a very passive-aggressive, over-competitive, one-sided rivality, can't-stand-each-other way. Dazai and Kyouka. Dazai and Atsushi too I suppose, though I prefer them romantically. I think he makes for a lot of interesting dynamics with virtually all the characters, but none compells me in particular tbh.

OTP: Odazai is plain canon to me, idk what to tell you. I think they make for a beautiful, tragic love story. Get you a man who is willing to change the path of his whole life for another man just like that, nobody does it like them (actually, wait, I can think of another man... ). Although I always distantly liked them, dazatsu has grown on me like, an INSANE amount in the last few months. I'm not sure what happened. I think it was an unfortunate (lol) coincidence of growing a little fonder of Dazai and just wanting to give more space and agenda to Atsushi. Like to me a lot of what dazatsu is really is about giving Atsushi more agency and autonomy and independence and overall just respecting him as a complex, full fleshed out character. I don't see ANY kind of power imbalance in it I keep finding people talk about. Dazai pushes Atsushi to be better every day, and Atsushi does exactly the same for Dazai. Atsushi admires and respects Dazai, and Dazai admires and respects Atsushi equally. I really don't know why the ship isn't more popular and instead just gets discarded most of the time tbh. I feel like everyone should sit down a second and actually give Atsushi the dignity to choose for himself. And fyozai!!! The investment in this ship mostly goes on waves for me but despite that I firmly believe that they really make for an engaging and interesting dynamic to be interpreted romantically. The epitome of “You're both just enabling each other's mental illnesses. You're both perfect for each other. Never change. Just never involve anybody else in what you've got going on.”

nOTP: Nothing comes to my mind.

Random headcanon: Not canon related, but in modern aus I feel like he'd be one to always end up working at ceo roles and he would HATE it. He fires himself and starts working at some cheap frozen yogurt place and one month later he'll find himself as the ceo of the most important oil company of the country AGAIN without him even realizing it / despite his active efforts to avoid that. And he HATES IT. He fires himself again but the loop only repeats forever. He's just that kind of person for whom all doors open automatically.

Unpopular opinion: ............ I could be here forever. I regretfully fail to relate to a lot of characterization / readings of the character I've seen the fandom give him. I really don't want to dwell on this so I'll just mention something mostly unrelated to his characterization: I wholly can't share the take of him being physically built like??? At all??? Which got REALLY popular a few months ago. Dude feels like he never lifted a finger his whole life, I really don't know where the idea comes from???? And I personally don't take his manga visual portrayal as a telling factor for this; pretty much all the characters have the same body type, it's impossible for me to base the buff Dazai assumption on how he's drawn in the manga. Just one thing about his chracter though stop making him matchmaker for ss/kk he really isn't stop don't do it please

Song i associate with them: HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE associating him with my favourite vocaloid song ever but. Meltdown by iroha is a very Dazai song. So many other songs though... Parade of Liars by ryo. Abstract Nonsense by Neru. God-ish by Pinocchio-P. So on and so forth.

asuka ask game? pick your favorite one

ok so i do enjoy asuka guiltygear but i have been thinking REALLY hard about asuka tekken as of late so we're talking about her today

also this took me WAY too long to post i apologize but it Is out here so yaaaay

favorite thing about them:

ok so legally i have to mention asuka's tekken 8 design because motherfucker WHAT were they thinking with that one. what the fuck was the inspiration. but i love it so much i cannot lie

other than that, i really enjoy her rivalry with lili and how moderately insane that bit has gotten, and i like how they've kept her a character who is a) defensively focused in her gameplay even among the generally aggressive play of t8, and b) has a generally down-to-earth feel to her despite. Everything. happening in tekken

least favorite thing about them:

so i was actually talking to a friend about this recently and she explained my feelings really well, its like. asuka feels like the protagonist of another story that isnt being told.

it feels like she has so much stuff that COULD be a really interesting plot focus for her but it just. hasnt been? like everything between her and feng COULD be so neat but its just been sort of...by the wayside for the past few games in favor of keeping up with the mishimas (new sitcom there btw)

favorite line:

asuka's quotes are fun but most arent super noteworthy unfortunately? its mostly pretty standard fare for fighting game open and win quotes unforch :( i will say though, i do really enjoy this win line in t8 from her:

It's not good to fight all the time. Well, see ya!

bc like. girl. what do you think youre out here doing rn. girl please

(note: i dont speak japanese so i couldnt say anything towards this, but i wonder if asuka speaks with a kansai accent/dialect in game? her being from osaka and all, itd be a cool little addition)

brOTP:

omg actually ive seen stuff between leo and asuka that's been fun before i really enjoy that, iirc theyre not super close in the main canon but i wanna say in the non-canon webcomic theyre friends? i think thats right? either way its a fun concept

OTP:

asulili...uwoagh........

fellas is it gay to buy your rival's dojo and fill it entirely with roses to get their attention? certainly not. certainly.

i do wish we saw some amount more narrative tension between them since most of it has sort of dissolved by t8 but i do think theyre really cute and as mentioned before i really do enjoy their whole bit its awesome

SHOUTOUT ASULILI WEEK BTW I DONT HAVE THE TIME TO PARTICIPATE BUT I AM HYPED ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE

nOTP:

i do not think i have been around long enough to see another pairing for asuka, let alone one i dislike, so i cannot answer this question LMAO

random headcanon:

spun my mental wheel of headcanon topics and it wouldnt stop spinning for like half an hour unfortunately so im just telling you that i think asuka would play baiken or may in strive

unpopular opinion:

i still havent been here long enough to know whats unpopular regarding her :,) although i think in terms of gameplay i think she's cooler than most people believe, though i do agree that her current iteraiton in t8 isnt very strong within the meta unforch :(

song i associate with them:

i can nigh on guarantee that it's because ive been listening to this song while thinking about her really hard recently but absolute zero by natori (banger btw go watch the music video it goes unbelievably hard), i think the lyrics arent entirely unfitting though!!!

favorite picture of them:

i really like this profile art option for her, the posing is fun and the textures on the clothing are really impressive

and then also i have to mention her preset 3 outfit which i LOVE SO SO MUCH

(apologies as i cant find a better example pic and do not feel like opening t8 at 2 in the morning on this day)

Hello 👀 I notice that you like doctor who!

May i request all of your thoughts and feelings about it? Like who's your favorite companion? Favorite doctor?

That's all! I hope you have a lovely day 💖

Oh my, what a wonderful surprise!!! An invitation to yap about a rot??? THANK YOU MY LOVELY I fear I will be an unskippable cutscene real quick. Full disclosure, I’ve watched the seasons for Doctors 9-11 quite a few times through, I’ve seen 12’s run twice and a few episodes more, and I’ve only seen 13-15 once. It’s gonna show 💀

I’m gonna put a cut here bc oh boy ya girl RAMBLED

Not to be a cliche, but 10 is my doctor 💜 it’s how he lights up and how every time he sees something he doesn’t understand, he goes OH YOURE BEAUTIFUL instead of being nervous or afraid 😭 (this is a through-line for the Doctor in new who but 10 just really embodies it). Fifteen is rapidly becoming a favorite too though. Ncuti is absolutely GLOWING in this role I love him so so much. I adore 9 as well, he was my first Doctor, and I love his rough edges 😭. Twelve was also a surprising favorite of mine, it took me a long while to really watch his seasons but he really has a special place in my heart now. Thirteen I love (she has a lot of the childlike energy and wonder of 10 that I love so much). I just really feel like Doctor Who cannot be a show with only a few episodes a season, and I think she suffered for it (15 too, but Ncuti is just CARRYING EVERYTHING). Eleven is my least favorite Doctor, mainly because I don’t love Steven Moffat as a show runner. You didn’t ask about writing but I’m gonna give my opinion anyway lol I feel like Steven’s arcs had SO MUCH PLOT but almost no story. Also he had like 5 ideas that got recycled in a bunch of ways (I just feel like his seasons- at least with 11, I’m not as familiar with where he leaves during 12’s run- didn’t have the same HEART as RTD era). There are, of course, some exceptions (the starwhale and the episodes with the living flesh come to mind). ALL THAT SAID THOUGH, I feel like Matt Smith (much like Ncuti Gatwa) was able to breathe SO MUCH life into his Doctor despite the meta of the show that I still love 11 deeply.

That’s only a third of my answer so STRAP IN lmao (don’t feel obligated to read all of this- this cutscene actually can be skipped).

Favorite companion is another impossible question 😭😭 I am a Rose Tyler girlie, I love her to the end of the world and back. She just leads with her empathy and compassion and it makes me sick (positive reaction). Doomsday consistently makes me cry no matter what. After a good five min of debating with myself, I think Clara is my next favorite. Her arc with 12, in particular, was beautiful. I feel like she was the closest to being an equal with the Doctor in a really interesting way. The rest of the companions I have a really hard time ranking. Martha is my underrated QUEEN (and I absolutely adore Freema in this role and even moreso as Amanita in Sense8- if you havent watched it I highly highly highly recommend). Donna is an absolute firecracker and we LOVE HER. DoctorDonna, brotp for the ages. Bill Potts is also so high up there for me. I think her storyline is beautiful (her ending is so tragic but also so heartwarming??? I adore Heather too just like. In concept. So I just love her run). I love the whole 13 fam, but especially Yasmin and Ryan. I’ve only seen their episodes once through but I do have such a soft spot for them. RUBYYYY ahh see this is what I mean I can’t rank them. I feel like DoctorRuby is a brotp to rival DoctorDonna. Ruby was such a delight onscreen with 15, and you can tell the actors just adore each other too. I quite like Nardole but I just don’t have the same emotional attachment to him as I do to the others. Amy and Rory are honestly my least favorite, although that’s not to say I actively dislike them. Well, Amy sometimes, but only when she’s being particularly cruel to Rory. I also just always hate any Doctor/companion romance except doctorrose. I am who I am, sorry!! I adore Rory, and everyone was unfair to him lol. I think I’ve covered everyone (besides the one-off companions from specials, I’m not gonna list them all).

BONUS ANSWER to a question you didn’t ask 💀 (I used to run a superwholock blog and I feel like it’s showing lol). Everyone knows that Doctor Who is a bag of the most moving, profound, and emotional episodes you’ve ever seen in your life and then the most confusing, crap episodes you’ve ever been subjected to, right? (It’s like Angel the series in that sense bfgdghdhdh). Season 4 is my favorite because it is just banger after banger. Seasons 1-4 are all so good imo (although I think part of the reason people hated Martha- other than the racism and the after-Rose effect- was because some of her episodes are a bit rough). I find 11’s run deeply unsatisfying. Moffat was such a fan of the OOP AND THEN WE RESET EVERYTHING paradox which I hate (it’s time travel done badly!!!). Idk what happened when 12 took over bc I think Moffat was still showrunner but I feel like the quality of the arcs improved dramatically. 13 suffered (at least in part bc of covid to be fair) and 15 is suffering under the modern “everyone wants 22 episode season except execs so we all get 8 episodes” bullshit. Doctor Who has always been about wandering and traveling and side quests. IT DOESNT WORK WITH SHORT SEASONS. I’ll die on this hill!!!!!! You also can’t have the Doctor Who crapshoot in episode quality when that means that 1/8-1/4 of the season is gonna be garbage.

I think I had one more point I wanted to make…

EDIT: I remembered my last point!! I also feel like Moffat leaned heavily into “the Doctor is some great hero” and I personally prefer “the Doctor is just some guy”. Like the Doctor stole the TARDIS and ran away. I love the emphasis on the importance of the mundane and other normal individual people in Doctor Who. Everyone’s lives matter and everyone can make a difference, even if you’re not traveling through time and space, even if you’re just living your boring mundane life.

I love Doctor Who so so so so much. The attitude of “new and different is beautiful and we should be curious, not afraid” could heal the world. The whole ethos of it is just so beautiful. Some of the episodes are so profound and thought-provoking and moving. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to yap about one of my favorite shows 💜💜 I would LOVE to hear your thoughts too!!!!

Hello! I hope I ain't inconveniencing you, and that you have a great day! But I'm curious, Do you still do that thing where someone says a character, and then you say stuff about em?

If so, Fang the sniper!

Oh damn I actually had to look for the post to see what you're talking about, it's been years, but I think I got it

1. Sexuality headcanon: Homosexual

2. OTP: Knuxang, I don't think I need to elaborate, but they have a lot in common while also having interesting contrast when it comes to things like responsibility, trust and more

3. BroTP: that's a hard one... probably Fang & Amy, rivals to friends kind of thing, they're an incredible chaotic duo

4. NoTP: Eggman & Fang, just no, big no, ABSOLUTELY NOT

5. First headcanon that pops into my head: His lack of powers is considered a disability in Sonic's universe and he struggles with it a lot as well as with him being a hybrid (made short comics about both topics and plan to explore these aspects of him further in the future)

6. One way in which I relate to this character: Goofy antics, cat noises & ADHD

7. Things that give me secondhand embarrassment about this character: Honestly, his canon portrayal in general. I like his goofier side and it pains me how he constantly swings from a goofy gremlin to unredeemable a-hole to something else while also being an underdog that achieves things through wits and hard work. Like, he's way more fun when he's with other characters and he has a lot of development potential and depth that's just sitting there untouched.

8. Cinnamon roll or Problematic Fave: Problematic Fave turned Cinnamon Roll

for the thing u just reblogged: luka alien stage, mayhaps/

Favourite Thing:

His voice! This might be more about BL8M rather than Luka as a character, but I can't get over how lovely he sounds. Especially in his Sweet Dream cover, it rivals angels' voices✨✨

Least Favourite Thing:

His murderous tendencies(😔😔) and his creepiness towards women-

Favourite Line:

"Make me your God, I can give you everything~"

BrOTP:

Not entirely sure what this means but, assuming it's platonic, Ivan and Luka! They have so many similarities and I found the April Fools official art of them also cute, they'd be besties fr🙏✨ (manipulator to manipulator communication/j)

OTP:

Hyuna x Luka- is it extremely toxic? Yes. Do I want to see Hyuna beat the shit out of Luka? Definitely. Do they have a cute dynamic (if we remove the murder and manipulation)? I'd say so-

NOTP:

Luka x Ivan. Like, I guess I see why people ship it? But it's just not for me..😶

Random Headcanon:

I headcanon his favourite animal is snakes!

Unpopular Opinion:

I don't think I have one. I'm pretty sure everyone agrees he's a piece of shit who needs to be hit over the head with a metal chair🫶

Song I associate with them:

I'll give you two!

"How I'd Kill" by Cowboy Malfoy

"Rule #7 - Angel Tango" by Fish in a Birdcage

Favourite Picture of Them:

There's so many pretty pictures of him, but I absolutely adore him in this chibi style😭

Smol..
