so, @beforetherewaslight had mentioned how there wasn’t enough non-shippy art of Jim (and i have to say, i agree) so i figured i’d throw something together for them

narratively I am a fan of romances that don’t ever actually become romances

I don’t mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end it’s clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.

well have you considered that maybe the unstoppable force is in love with the immovable object

Characters that are absolute lovesick disasters but also brutal killers are... definitely something

Jim and Oswald would be the kind of people who no one would ever expect to be dating because they are so professional and neutral around each other and they would also argue a lot but when they are alone they would be all over each other

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

#gobblepot #I write it as romantic but honestly #it doesn’t really matter #the love is there. they care so deeply o matter how hard they try not to #and that’s all that matters #idk if it’s romantic platonic or something else entirely #but the love is there

[birdwatching-goesbothways]

Yes, you're right, "I'd kill for you – please, ask me to kill for you" is a fun relationship dynamic, but where's the love for the classic attack-dog power dynamic reversal? I'd have thought Tumblr would be all over that one, too. The old "I'll kill for you – and kill, and kill, and kill, if needs be – but first you have to tell me exactly what it is you want. You are not permitted moral distance. Tell me what you need from me and admit your soft hands are just as bloody as mine. Say it. Say it."
