Nice detail of Peach touching Mario's shoulder briefly, before she approaches Bowser.

It tells you a lot that they have grown comfortable over the course of the adventure - and she may also be doing that to calm him down a little.

🚨 Dan + PhilsLion Master Doc 🚨

On May 16th, 2009, the PhilsLion twitter account was created. Today, exactly 15 years later, I present the Dan and PhilsLion Master Doc:

This document is a compilation of my original Dan is PhilsLion post, additional posts from my philslion tag, and some other tweets that I haven't posted about. It's 33 pages of evidence that Dan ran PhilsLion coupled with tweets that would be cute/interesting/funny/etc if it was in fact Dan tweeting. This was super fun for me to work on and also something I spent a ridiculous amount of time on, so I hope you all enjoy! :)

If you have any questions about anything or additional comments to make, please let me know! 💞🦁

(just adding this pic because i think it's cute :) and also, uh, more decent than the other photo of dan with lion)

I think I figured out the problem with the Enemies to Lover's trope, it has a bimodal distribution. Let me explain!

Most tropes have a normal distribution:

I hypothesize that with EtoL, there is very little middle ground. This is a bimodal distribution:

You either do EtoL well and join the ranks of the immortals, or you crash and burn. I've discussed previously what makes EtoL work, but there seem to be a lot of traps for writers to fall into when it comes to this trope. For example:

the turn being based too heavily on lust (common JAFF trap)

never fully establishing the enemies phase

insufficient apology on one side (almost always the man's) which makes the other's acceptance unsatisfying

the pair have the communication skills of a newborn baby (ei: the misunderstanding could be fixed with a single sentence)

one side is a real asshole but it's excused because of TRAUMA

growth is ignored in favour of acceptance (can work, usually doesn't)

Relationship is clearly toxic, above and beyond the extenuating circumstances/magical premise (The problem isn't that Edward is a vampire, that's part of the premise. The problem is his disregard for Bella's autonomy)

One side gives in because the other is too obsessed with them

Once Upon a Time flew by having Hook feel meaningful remorse for his past actions (the scene with the Little Mermaid got me so good) and establishing begrudging respect between him and Emma, The Mindy Project crashed and burned by not showing sufficient growth in Danny (does he respect her career now or are they just horny?). Parks and Recreation got it by making the leads both good people who just got on each other's nerves because they had different valid approaches. I think Brooklyn 99 is one of those rare mediocre ones, because the enemy stage isn't fully established but the relationship is still satisfying. The Kdrama Alchemy of Souls got it right by having both main characters display an impressive amount of personal growth, while 100 Days My Prince burned because it relied too heavily on obsession and trauma excusing behaviour.

Pride & Prejudice and Much Ado About Nothing show that the beginning dynamic can be completely different, old antagonists vs. first impressions, but the trope can still work if it's done right. The problem is that it's so often done wrong.

So when it's good, it's SO GOOD, when it's bad, it sucks.

Steve had stopped crying in earnest, but a silvery tear slid down his nose as he tried to forget the impossibility of them. Though his cheeks were wet and his eyes glassy, he was slowly finding his footing again. Bucky’s hand snuck beneath the untucked hem of Steve’s shirt, his large palm fitting easily around the curve of Steve’s bare waist, and Steve failed to suppress a shudder. Bucky curled his arm even farther around Steve’s body, then – his fingers slotting easily inside the shallow valleys between his ribs, his nose tucking into the juncture of Steve’s neck and shoulder, the wetness on his face transferring to Steve’s exposed skin – and Steve sniffled again; for a different reason, this time. Steve raised both his hands to rest on Bucky’s cheeks, drawing him away from Steve’s throat so he could get a proper look at him again. His eyes were a crystalline blue, shimmering with tears and reddened with crying, and Steve just had to kiss him. It was something gentle, something slow and almost-chaste. Steve exhaled a soft sigh of relief into the kiss, relief to have this opportunity, to have one more chance, to be able to kiss Bucky again before Steve finally punched his ticket.
