#you could do it unrequited

[lab-trash]

Hey, hi, yeah, uh, whats with the utter lack of shassie fics based off of S7E1.

If you don't remember, that's the one where Lassie goes against direct orders from Vick and helps Shawn plan how to catch their criminals, and then for some reason Juliet is the deus ex machina??

Like, I'm not a die hard Shassie shipper or nothing, but cmon this is like... the easiest shit!

There are so many different things you could do with this episode alone, but my suggestion is that it's Lassie with the gun at the end instead of Juliet. It makes far more sense for Lassie to be that one.

Like, cmon. Just picture it.

None of you are ready for this conversation.

But the true Dandadan was the horrifying polycule we made along the way.

I was talking with a friend about the canon named women of Les Mis and decided to experiment to see who those are according to Les Mis fanworks.

Behold: your top ten women of Les Mis.

i'm curious about one thing though, isn't it a bit meh to ship two people when one of them clearly finds it annoying/uncomfortable? although maybe that's just enemies to lovers excellence lol but i usually love enemies to lovers so idk why i don't ship junpo... it's not because of thamepo because i honestly find them a little bit boring for my taste but something about po being so (on the nose) whipped for thame doesn't let me enjoy junpo, you feel me?

i do get what you mean, po is so enamored with thame (and so annoyed by jun sfjksgfj) that for some people may be hard to imagine him ever developing feelings for jun, which is why in the context of the show i also tend to lean more towards a thame/po/jun poly (thamejun is very interesting to me too ngl), but at the same time i think part of the fun of shipping comes from the fact that it doesn't necessarily have to make perfect sense

canon gives us the framework, and within that, we can play with as many possibilities as we'd like, as long as they're interesting to us. this is something that i think fandom has lost a little over time, it seems to me that it has become a bit more rigid compared to when i was younger, but i've personally shipped characters who didn't even interact with each other (like, EVER) just because i thought their dynamic would be fun (shout-out to jayfoei, those bitches truly had me moving differently)

so to me, it's not that hard to imagine junpo somehow happening, but maybe it's because im also very biased towards jun and i don't read po as being uncomfortable with him. annoyed and frustrated as fuck due to a mix of a bad first impression, jun basically being his complete opposite, and po not being able to understand jun's intentions? sure. but uncomfortable? not really, and i think the proof of this is that po is ready to praise jun when jun isn't there to hear him, he doesn't mind touching jun or jun touching him when thame isn't around to see them, and he willingly shared personal stuff with jun when they were trying to bring nano back to the group (which he didn't really have to do for the plan to work)

jun also brings out a side of po that we don't see with anyone else, not even with thame, at least not after the first episode. po is someone who tends to overthink and doubt himself a lot, and he often has a hard time speaking his mind (see: telling the vendor he wants only one sandwich now, for example), but he doesn't have that issue with jun, and sure, one could say that it's because he doesn't care about jun's feelings (although imho po is way too kind for that), or maybe it's because their dynamic allows po to be more open and more true to himself

also, if you think about it, in the first episode po started out disliking thame because he thought thame was like his ex, but then he got to learn about thame and what he truly felt and po's feelings for him started to change, so i don't see why that couldn't happen with jun too, especially since po has never seen jun being vulnerable (in po's eyes, jun is the smart one, the cunning one, the annoying one, the unbothered one, but what if he saw jun struggling and breaking down in front of him????? DELICIOUS)

so yeah, idk. they're obviously never going to happen in the show, and maybe in the next episode the writers are gonna be like SIKE. JUN NEVER LIKED PO. but they still remain a very compelling pair to me, and in my head it's not that hard to imagine a future where thamepo break up and po eventually falls for jun

for some people that may be unrealistic, for me it's not, and i think both point of views are valid. at the end of the day, fiction is our playground, and as long as we don't hurt anybody, we can play pretend with what it offers us in any way that sparks joy!!!!

mizuki is so fucking funny about rui cause like after he graduated she was like oh fuck this sucks so bad i really did like being around him huh…? and in like escape she acknowledges this again, that she really really did like having him around and it sucked when he left back then. and then you think about how like 80% of their screentime in the present has been mizuki actively shutting out his every attempt at reaching out to her on an emotional level. every conversation has been like: “[silly back and forth] rui: btw are you okay? mizuki: haha. i actually have to leave. immediately. byeeeee.” she like to date has not hung out with him outside of school on purpose. which sounds really specific but is also very much not a high bar to clear. in fact there is an instance in which she actively chooses not to invite him and didn’t even consider inviting him until an pointed him out as an option. every single one of their area conversations are them bumping into each other. the fucking difference between middle school and him being her 6th favourite reason to live to now, a walking talking sense of nostalgia she feels like an exposed nerve around. it never gets old. girl what is your fucking issueeee (i know her issue). i love her. god.
