I'm doing a bit of a robron rewatch (not the whole story, just some episodes that I really liked) and I just finished SSW 2016, and the first wedding. They were truly Good Times. I feel like (and I'm obviously completely wrong in these thoughts!) that we as a fandom were pandered to in a way that hasn't happened before or since. Obviously all the Soap Stuff happened (the car crash, the wedding crash, later the marriage crash), but it feels like all the things we wanted for Robert and Aaron happened. And of course, that wasn't the case at all: this award winning, national soap did not see that the robron fandom needed feeding and delivered us a sheer smorgasbord of treats, but for a little while it felt that way. And it wasn't like it made us feel entitled or powerful, it just made us feel happy. And it made us feel connected with each other, because we were sharing all these highs and lows with each other, and feeding off each others excitement. It really was the best of times (and at times the worst of times), and I feel so... is grateful too strong a word? Possibly, but heck I'm gonna use it anyway. I'm grateful to have gone through all of that, and to have gone through it with you guys.

Victoria: 'He's not perfect, you aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. (looking at them both) But if he can make you laugh at least once, cause you to think twice, and if he admits to being human, and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment but he will give you a part of him he knows you could break. (Victoria looks at them) Don't hurt him, don't change him. And don't expect for more than he can give. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad... and miss him when he's not there. Love when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist... but there's always one guy that is perfect for you.' (Robert and Aaron)

I guess I wanted to punish myself last night so I made myself fully catch-up on the last two weeks of Emmerdale. I know we all say how bad it is, but bad is being too kind. This is a truly terrible show.
I know Maxine is gone and I'm sure they've lost a few other writers here and there (SM doesn't count she never should have been a writer) but for the most part the writing staff seems intact. These are the same people who were writing for Robron (of course Ryan and Danny added to the material but). The same people who wrote some incredible episodes. What happened to these writers? What happened to these directors? There is no way they believe they are delivering a quality product. Part of me thinks they know it's shit so they stopped caring as well.
Do you remember when Danny exited the show and everyone, including him, said it was time? That he was phoning it in and it showed? This is an entire production of phoning it in. The writing. The storylines. The acting. All of it is being phoned in. Everyone involved seems and looks bored. I know there are people upset about how mean and nasty this version of Aaron is, but Danny at least seems to be having a good time. He at least looks like he's trying. Also I hate the characters he's being nasty towards. I don't care that he's hurting their feelings. That's a problem. I should care at least a little. But they have decimated some of these characters to the point of no return, at least for me. I will never care that Chas and Paddy are upset about something.
They have to hire a new producer. The producers have no interest in actually telling a story. They have zero interest in the foundation. They are interested in hitting certain points of a story. They are completely disinterested in building a story. They leave out the entire buildup, which is the interesting part of the story! They don't give anyone time to invest or even understand what is going on. How did that character get from A to B?
The couples make no sense to me. They feel like they just sat in a room and threw paper on the floor and the names that ended up near each other were paired off. Caleb and Tracy came out of nowhere. I don't know why they're having an affair but at least they have chemistry. I keep being told Matty and Amy are a couple. They aren't written like a couple, at least not in the two seconds of screen time they get. Relationships are the important part and the producers have zero interest in growing and letting us actually see the relationships develop. Remember the build up to Robert and Aaron's first kiss? It was so so good! And that was largely due to the fact we actually got the buildup!
I don't know, this got very long and I'm sorry but it makes me sad. I desperately want Ryan/Robert back but I don't want these people touching that character or Robron. It's depressing 😔

When the whole 'Luke pushed Lee and Robert could appeal' thing happened and we got our hopes up because there was so much talk of him on screen... The press ran with it for about a week, then Emmerdale were pretty quick to shoot it down and say there were no plans to bring Robert back.
Some of us got our hopes up again for the 50th because Ryan did his birthday greeting on Lorraine, and Liv was going to die etc. But when Aaron came back (was even there on their wedding anniversary 😔) and they managed to mention Adam, Ben (at least I think so) and Jackson + a new bf that was 'it'... and not one mention of Robert the whole time? We were doomed. (Danny even said it was pretty much impossible to bring back Robert due to him being in prison.)
Now, things feel different. All these positive things about Ryan/Robert/Robron are coming from all directions, the press and Danny. (Also, their meeting in April 👀) The producer had a very good opportunity to shoot it down again with a firm 'no plans at this time' response, but didn't. Danny could have easily said Ryan was busy happy doing his own thing, just like he said about Adam and Kelvin. He could also have kept his 'it's too bad that Robert is in prison so it can't really happen' stance from last year, but no.... This time, it's a matter of 'talking Ryan 'round'. And then, suddenly, we get a Robert mention on screen, directed at Aaron?
My face at this time = 🤡

I think everyone should be able to ship who they want but I’m sorry I just don’t see any romantic chemistry between Aaron and Mack. I also think what he needs now more than anything is a good friend and not a new relationship. So I’m hoping that Emmerdale does not go down that route with them.
I also don’t get people on Emmerdale’s social media comparing this relationship to Robron. Like whether you shipped or like Robron or not the fact is Rob is Aaron’s soulmate and no one else he is ever with will ever compare to that kind of love.

happy nice ask weekend! can you talk more about Robron and Emmerdale and share what you love?!
Ooh my favourite subject!
When it comes to robron I just love their love. Insane as it is. I mean their love story has a body count (RIP Katie but you had it coming). But they were (and still are!!) iconic. Especially for a soap couple. I mean they survived SO MUCH. And in the end only a 14 year minimum prison sentence in a prison on an ISLAND on the other side of the country could keep them apart. And even then Aaron couldn't move on. He'll be standing outside the prison gates the day Robert gets out and nothing will have changed between them.
they went from secret affair
Tumblr media
to getting married TWICE in front of the whole village and raising a kid together
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And also Robert as a character will always have a special place in my heart because watching him figure out his sexuality helped me do the same. (and hearing him say the word bisexual never gets old)
Tumblr media
I just love how robron take the good and bad from each other and just accept it but still push the other to be better. Robert makes Aaron want to solve things without punching the shit out of someone, Aaron makes Robert want to be less of an asshole to people and a better father to their son than his own was (and also Aaron's but that's not very hard to do).
Emmerdale as a whole... without robron, it's kind of hit and miss these days (mostly miss tbh) but... i'm a sucker for soaps and I watch out of habit really. The good stories are few and far between but they still keep me watching. Those 3 seconds a month of characters I like actually existing without supporting annoying characters' plots? yeah i'm here for it.
And also it gives me something to make fun of and bitch at/about for half an hour a day (most of my followers have probably blacklisted my ed lb tag by now lol)
thanks for letting me ramble about my loves for a bit!

Well that was the first full episode of Emmerdale I've watched in months. Now I know why I mostly just watch it in clips on youtube these days. Haha. Did give me plenty of time to finally catch up on my art instagram feed though. So...thanks for that.
That car crash man....wow. What even was that?! Haha. That slow motion roll with all of the close ups of them floating around in the car? The music? It was way too much for me. I just kind of burst out laughing. So silly. And the dramatic music at the end that was...I don't know...supposed to like tug on the heartstrings or something??? But like...I actively want Chloe to die so like...music's not working on me.
Also through that whole scene of Mack keeping them calm while Charity and then Chloe woke up, I just kept thinking about Robron in their sunken car and how that was a significantly better scene that I actually cared about.
I felt even worse when I was watching the Lydia scenes because I just can't really help but compare it to all of the other past rape reveals we've had this show. And like...it was fine but I've heard like all of this dialogue before because they've done this story so many times now.
It also feels super jarring to keep cutting from those scenes back and forth to the Chloe/Mack/Charity stuff. The tone is just so not the same.
Also, I didn't watch any of their scenes yesterday but the whole "let's show Chloe's thoughts" thing was....a choice. Not really a good one. Haha.
The Sharma stuff also feels out of place in this week. Like why are they trying to shove all of these disparate stories together into this one week. Why not actually focus on only a couple that actually match in tone.
The Sharma stuff would play a lot better if Rishi was still alive and if they didn't arbitrarily drop the story for two months. Or if Amit didn't show up just because he had a random job in Leeds. Although who knows if that's true but still...it all just feels poorly conceived. Shocking I know.
And the Aaron stuff...sigh...haha. It was annoying hearing him obsess over Liv. How is their relationship still so irritating even after she's dead? And I mean Chas is a massive hypocrite who can still barely acknowledge that she did force Aaron to leave so she could carry on with Al. But it's not like Aaron has the moral high ground here that much when they're sitting at Wylie's where his affair with Robert killed Katie. Haha. Yes we can blame the floorboards and the caravans of the world but...they were affair casualties.
I do sort of enjoy him talking back to everyone. But I'm ready for him to be out of Wylie's and ready for us to be out of clunky exposition land where we have to rehash the last time he was there.
Good for whoever wrote this episode though, actually remembering that Marco existed. Haha. I really thought they were going to forget altogether. So long Marco. You're better off.
I did laugh when Aaron called staying the village a death wish though. Cause I mean...is he wrong? Especially this month. Haha.
Sigh. I should go watch the bypass crash just to cleanse or something.

vanity outsold robron sorry not sorry
Tumblr media
So, you made me spill my morning coffee! 😂 🤣
It took me a minute to understand what exactly you wanted to say anon, and that is on me.
Initially, I thought you meant that Emmerdale had been more unjust to Vanity fans than Robron fans. And to that, I have to say yes. 😢 The way they treated the ship, especially when their fans went to war defending the producers- I thought it was appalling and tone deaf.
For Robron fans, the actors left. So the show was limited in what they could do. They still picked the worst option, but ...at least they could put up a defense although it would be weaker than what Robert's lawyer put up in court to defend him.
Now, if you mean, that Vanity is more popular than Robron, which a few Vanity fans have spent their life proving, I wish you all the very best on your Quixotic quest! 👋 Robron have not been canon for about 4 years now and to this date, the show and the media take into account what the fans think, the show never misses a chance to invoke Robron sls or make Robert and Aaron references just to crank up viewership. Also, Danny and Ryan stay in touch off screen and make it a point to share some candid content.
Unfortunately, for you these things may not ring a bell because there aren't any parallels in ....you know what I mean! :)
Look, I don't want a whole thing about this ship vs that ship. We should retire this now because Robron are gone from the show and yes, Vanity might be reunited at some point in the future in the show- though given the current quality of sls, fans might have to work hard to like that sl. Both our ships had it good for while and I enjoyed the friendly banter. But as far as I am concerned, the current producers had other priorities and didn't care about the ship fanbase for whatever reason.
Last, but not least, thank you for sending an ask. I don't get many, so I like it when my inbox has asks. You have a nice day. But in the interest of my mh and everyone else's I am not going to answer any more Vanity asks.
Have a lovely day!

The drive home from Hell
-Robron fanfic
Summary: after a chaotic day at the water park the drive home proves to be a challenge for Aaron and his passengers aren’t exactly helping
(Au emmerdale)
———
“I want McDonald’s” the red headed 5 year old screamed from the back of the car.
Aaron was losing the plot at this point.
“No seb I told you if you where hungry you should have eaten your hotdog!” The Dingle replied plainly.
Seb pouted his lip angrily kicking the back of his youngest dads seat in disapproval.
Aaron sighs ignoring him and continued to just focus on driving. Okay so maybe today hadn’t exactly gone to plan. I mean Getting lost on the way there,Robert falling off the water slide raft,Seb losing his shoes and Mackenzie getting badly sunburned because, He quote ‘didn’t need suncream because he already looked to hot to be burned’. Well he was certainly paying for it now.
“Ouch why do you have leather seats all they do is rub on your fragile skin!” The brunette complained rubbing his sore arm dramatically.
“We’ll next time maybe don’t be a child and listen to me!” Robert scolded Turing around with a slight smile on his face.
Aaron rolled his eyes,finding it amusing his Husband was lecturing his best friend like he was a teenager. “You know Mackenzie Roberts right we warned you this might happen” He said rather to cheerfully.
Mackenzie huffed in annoyance.
“We’ll I’m not taking advice from somebody who can’t sit properly on a rubber ring” He snapped back.
“I thought you where supposed to sit sideways!” Robert argued back angrily the street lamps outside making the bruise on his head very noticeable.
“Not on a four person waterslide you’re not!”
“Oh yeah well at least I don’t look like a walking corpse!” Robert snarked back electing a silent response from the Scotsman.
“I want McDonald’s!” Seb suddenly said again trying to get back to his point of needing fast food.
“No seb!” Aaron said again more sternly this time. The response being the usual another kick to his backseat. “Sebastian Sugden-Dingle you do that again you’re going to bed early!” the Child stopped for a moment letting what his father had said just sink in.
Yeah not going to work because he had gone straight back to kicking the backseat. “ I want McDonald’s!” he screamed again accidentally kicking Mackenzies knee instead of Aaron’s seat. The Scotsman yelped in pain as it made contact with his burned skin,despite having jeans on it still hurt his raw skin through the thin fabric.
“Ouch god dammit Aaron just let him have some McDonald’s!” He shouted clutching his leg desperately as if it was about to fall off.
“Oye don’t yell at my husband!” Robert snapped reaching from the passenger seat to snack his arm,electing another dramatic scream from the Scotsman.
“What the hell sugden!” he yelled.
“Well maybe don’t be a rude Winey brat!”
Aaron was ready to drive into a wall.
“We’ll I’d rather be a winey brat than an uncoordinated blonde!”
Am I dead Aaron thought.
“We’ll at least my skin isn’t half on the floor!”
Maybe I’m in hell?
“I want McDonald’s!”
the breaks on the car suddenly slammed. Causing everyone to jolt forward.Aaron turned his head to face all of them. Their was a chill in the air Robert and Mackenzie awkwardly looked at each other. Seb had stopped his screaming and stared straight into his youngest fathers eyes. The anger seething out of Aaron was very uncomfortable for all them.
“If I continued to hear you two bickering so help me. I will throw you so far out that window their won’t be a planet near enough for your to land on! Seb if you continue to kick my seat I will be putting you to bed so early you’ll never see the dark again! now we’re going to drive home nicely and I don’t want to hear anything for the rest of the drive home! do you understand?”
Seb went silent and Mackenzie and Robert just sat completely still.
“I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND!”
they all nodded not daring to speak a word.
Aaron smiled .“good now that’s cleared up let’s get moving.” He chimed Turing the radio on.
An hour later seb had started playing on his tablet while Mackenzie sat looking out the window, and Robert was happily listening to the radio. He reached out to hold his husbands hand smiling at him as he quietly fell asleep.
Finally Aaron thought I got through to them.
“Hey Aaron?” Mackenzie suddenly spoke.
“Yeah?” He replied quietly.
“could we go to burgerking?”
Nevermind…

I wrote this in December and forgot about it and decided to post it after finding it in my drafts

I'm finding myself surprisingly undecided on what I want to happen when Vanessa gets back. I'm usually 'queer rep above all', but it can't be denied that I never liked Vanessa much and mostly enjoyed Vanity because I have a crush on Charity and want her to be with a woman + want the wlw rep. it's terrible how they've consistently had several gay male characters/couples, like Robron, Finn/hospital guy and Lawrence/Ronnie during, iirc, the same time, or Ethan and Marcus having their thing while Aaron was dating he who must not be named. unless Marcus was later, but at least with Ethan there were three gay guys at that time. and now we have Nicky, Suni, Arthur and the guy Arthur was/is (?) into (I haven't watched their story because teenagers). whereas since the start of the Robron era, iirc Vanity and then Vanessa and Suzy have been the only wlw rep, but during Ness/Suzy ofc Charity was only with guys. so, the imbalance between mlm and wlw rep is just shameful. so, tl:dr. I do want the wlw rep more than I want Mackity, but I'd prefer it be with Charity and someone else than Vanessa. and I've liked Mackity from the start, they're a really good fit. much better than Vanity ever was (if you're like me and want Charity to be her unlawful chaotic self rather than the more well behaved person it seems she has to be to be with Ness). however, being domestic has made Mackity somewhat boring, to the point that I haven't watched much of their story the last few months. so between undomestic/early Mackity and Vanity, I prefer the former. but between current married (Chloe storyline aside) Mackity and Vanity, I'd prefer Vanity, just for the sake of Gay. then again I enjoyed the reunion kiss more than I thought I would, in fact I might have even rewatched it more than once, so... I just don't know. I guess it'll make it more interesting to watch though, not knowing who I'd rather Charity choose. maybe it's time for Emmerdale's first (as far as I know) poly relationship. :') that aside ideally what I'd want for Charity is for her to be with a woman with a personality similar to Mack's.

I needed to write to you and say that when I first saw Emmerdale on my dashboard, I felt like I had been catapulted, a hundred miles an hour, straight back to my teenage years.
I was one of those queer kids who spent hours surreptitiously watching YouTube compilations of gay storylines from soap operas, but, growing up in the UK, I also watched Emmerdale with my family. I was therefore watching every episode as it aired when Aaron first joined the cast full time, and his coming out storyline transformed him into my favourite character (in retrospect, he is also an early example of a clear type of character that I obsess over). I stopped watching Emmerdale shortly after Aaron left for France, but then, several years later, I found out that Aaron had returned to the show and I ended up marathoning several of his storylines from the wonderfully curated YouTube playlist of all his character's appearances.
I am really curious how you came across Emmerdale, which is regarded in the UK as a reliable soap opera but a rather unfashionable one. If you have the time or the inclination, I'd love to hear the story.
hey! i hope you won't mind the super late reply!
aaron is such an incredible character, i can only imagine what he must have meant to the people for whom he was the gay character on the nightly soap. not to get too much #RepresentationPolitics about it but i know getting to see flor de la v as laisa in los roldán over family dinner was super meaningful not just for me but for a whole generation of queer people in my country. what i've seen from emmerdale has been far from perfect but aaron really is a fantastically well-done character.
as to how i got to emmerdale, well, my friend @lesbianclaudia was already into it and they sort of livetweeted their progressing derangement through the robron playlist. and i said to myself: good god, white brits are ugly as hell.
but then i made the mistake of watching that clip from the lodge in which aaron is tied up and trying to goad robert into shooting him and robert is sobbing and saying he loves him and whatnot. and then winnie told me that after the events of that clip, these two guys then go on to get married and divorced twice. and well. i had to see that with my own two eyes.
i'm not 100% sure that i actually watched it in this order the first time, but anyway, winnie got me to stream the whole affair era with him, which led to the making of the non-linear chrissie/robert/aaron affair era playlist, and affair era obviously rewired my entire brain chemistry, so i then continued to watch the rest of robron, and then i had to go back and watch all of aaron, because what an absolute treasure of a character.
i actually continued to watch the aaron scenes that were being uploaded on youtube after robert left, but he wasn't getting anything interesting to do long before danny decided to leave, so i ended up dropping it.
i will totally rewatch affair era at some point though (i still hope to get back to writing this fic </3) it's truly the greatest love story ever told.

As much as I'd love my Robron ending haha, I feel like if they did that, it'd be similar to JP and Craig on Hollyoaks (like how they had two sunset endings but James Sutton kept returning, and it ruined the happy endings), which I'd find sooooo annoying lol. I just get this idea that Danny might be on Emmerdale basically for the rest of his working life - like even if he leaves and says he's going for good, I can't actually see him leaving the show permanently. In 2012 he left and came back in 2014, and in 2021 he left and is now back, so with both absences he only had two years off. Whereas I don't get that same idea about Ryan
The rational part of my brain doesn't want a return either. Definitely not with the current state of the show. The Robron part of my brain wants it and wants it now. I don't know anything about JP and Craig, I only watched Brendan Brady's storyline on that show, but I don't think anyone thought Danny was gone for good. And Danny is back now so if Ryan doesn't come back they'll eventually put him with someone else and I already hate that and that person, lol.
The basic truth is I just miss them. I miss how stupidly happy I was just to get to see them everyday. Yes, some of the fandom was a nightmare, and I definitely haven't missed the spoiler stress, but I have desperately missed them. I want to look forward to them again. And the buildup to the eventual reunion would sustain me for years. Ryan isn't doing anything else either and there is a big part of me that really feels like it's different this time. This time it feels possible and I like the anticipation of that.
Ryan is not like Danny in that the show is not his security blanket. But he clearly isn't busy with other projects. He does have another baby on the way and, they come from money, so he doesn't need the show but I need him to need this, haha, at least for now.
