#and he flirts with her sometimes

[sunlaire]

The crew make it back to England and a few months later, the admiralty host a social function and crozier is only going so he can check in with the men, see how they're recovering. And while he's there, he spots James. But as he approaches, he overhears him talking about this "beautiful and elegant creature" he has back home

And crozier thinks "ah, alas. He is straight. But I'm happy he found someone..."

Meanwhile James won't stop telling people about his cat. Also he's carrying the BIGGEST torch for his co-captain, who is tragically uninterested in men. Whacky shenanigans ensue

#the terror #james has to hunt crozier down to talk to him #and the whole conversation is just #crozier: i heard about youre new friend #james: who? oh lady marie! #crozier: of course shes a lady... #james: (assuming hes making fun of the name) well it might be silly but shes brought a lot of joy to my little apartment #crozier: thats good. truly. im glad. #james: (playful flirting) id love for you to come by and meet her sometime. perhaps we can make a day of it... #and they are just completely on different pages #good lord... #fitzier #lol but what if he accepts the offer for a chance to see james again #and when he gets there and sees a damn cat #hes just baffled #crozier: so this... #james: yes! my little lady 🩷🩷🩷 #shes a fluffy tortoiseshell #crozier: so youre not...enganged ? #james: what? no! #james practically has to shake Crozier and say 'I LIKE MEN'

i'm an it/its pronouns user myself so when i thought i remembered you going "adri is he/it" i was like well it doesnt seem like anyone else has used those for it yet so i will >:) need more things with an it as a protagonist (off the top of my head i know of like one very short series)

YESSSS youre literally so valid genuinely

I usually just use he for it because of habit, but also bc it sells the illusion as well :) Even despite pronouns and appearance Adri is 100% genderless (its a Thing, and also not even alive) so using 'he' when referring to it is basically 100% what it wants you to do

#not gonna lie that one line from prototype that goes 'its not a he dammit it is an it' is permanently seared into my brain #i didnt do the parallel on purpose but i genuinely dont mind it <3 #ask #anon #it also makes me rly happy to be able to refer to adri as it/its and ppl not being Weird about it ngl #sidenote related to this but i just remembered i have a really terrible gender shitpost in my brain to draw sometime #where adri slings a really cringe inducing flirt at knife (NOT because it is actually flirting its bc he knows it'll make her uncomfortable #and knife is like. 'im a lesbian' and adri is like. 'and im genderless. dont be homophobic'

One of my favorite commissions done for the lovely @LeCatProduction on twitter. I love any excuse to give these two some love. <3

#looney tunes #pepe le pew #penelope cat #still can’t believe I got PAID to draw these two #it makes me feel. idk i cant describe it. I just feel!!! 💓💓💓💗 #in reimagining their dynamic I want to keep them grossly romantic and in love with each other #pepe’s a flirt and a gentleman and toootally swoons over penelope #penelope’s a classy gal and likes being won over. she’s got sharp tastes #and it’s fun to see how pepe will try and ‘win’ her over #in quotations bc. they only have eyes for each other #but also pepe’s so emotional and gets swept up that penelope has to reel him in bfkf #like: they go to a tropical resort and pepe breaks into soliloquies abt how romantic and beautiful everything is #meanwhile penelope is a Bad Luck Magnet so she she tries to see the positives in pepe’s speeches even though #they JUST barely survived a dangerous shark chase AND survived a storm #again ​he’s not oblivious to the situation or of penelope’s feelings: he just gets caught up sometimes. prolly literally lololol #WAaaa i talk too much ok ramble over #✍️ scenery! where’s the scenery? ✍️

Willel being the be gay do crime twins they are😌 The are committing crimes and pranking their friends and family, and they're wearing their twin club shirts while doing it because they're silly teenagers and I said so😭

(yes I gave them stupid wonder twins club shirts that they made themselves and put their own faces on them. also don't ask me how Will got his shirt over his flannel between the panels)

#willel #byler #byler art #will byers #el hopper #they use the shirts a a sign that they wanna be criminals. #will would be more subtle. put his on and go hang in el's room until she notices. or sometimes handing hers to her #but el is more chaotic for sure😭 just tossing it at him whenever or throwing it in his face when he's trying to flirt with mike #I imagine hopper would be their victim most often. that's what you get for living with criminal teenagers when you're a cop #mike thinks that's hilarious but he's the most often pranked of the party 😔 even after he and will start dating #myart #stranger things #shitbyme

brings me great joy to remember the fact that (aside from serena) the main bar kiryu frequents is a queer bar hosted by drag queens and run by a trans lady. like legit that fact sounds too good to be canon but it literally is

#the main one he frequents by personal choice anyway as opposed to serena (and sometimes shellac) where he’s usually there because someone #else frequents it or needed to meet him somewhere or someone working there is connected to him etc #earth angel initially doesnt really have any predisposed big plot reasons for him to go there let alone recurrently for decades #he just. likes it. and likes ako’s company. and they never really explain anything further than that #honestly it screams repressed gay guy seeking community without knowing it to me. like as in: he’s more comfortable there than most bars and #knows that probably but doesn’t know why or doesn’t try to think too deeply into exactly why #I mean… he says to goromi he feels more comfortable talking to her/him than most women #so I mean. that tracks doesn’t it. #you could argue it’s has to do with him being incessantly hit on by straight women to an uncomfortable degree but I don’t really think #that explains it becuase he’s hit on/flirted with by queer folks as well- ako herself outwardly flirts with him #but of course never to that uncomfortable a degree in my opinion (especially considering he already knows her and whatnot most of the time) #but yeah so I think it’s a little deeper than that. #anyway gshgdshfh rambling. this is just. god I seriously wonder sometimes what the studio is thinking when they do these things #the combination of this + what he says/does with goromi??? ghagghgsggh how do you NOT read him as queer/mlm what the fuck dude #kiryu #yakuza #rambling

society moved on too quickly from furina's demo

#i think about the fontaine brawl that she imagined in her head sometimes like i feel like society needs more characters like that #ramblings! #also when she changes into pneuma form............ i've never seen something so fucking crisp in my life #the lights???? the music syncing?? it's like biting into a juicy apple cannot be topped #also the symbolism................... i was like 'hm. i actually dont really agree with that bilibili analysis video' after thinking it thr #through. <- also known as dumb behavior they almost predicted the entire 4.2 quest #tbh i feel like people also moved on too quickly from neuvis demo because that yellow field of grass is peak #i love when rando characters are dropped in the middle of nowhere contemplating existence #we also moved on too fast from ly.ney's story quest why do i keep seeing him in love with traveler #like his subtle threats to that woman... guys he's killed people dont make him just a flirt #dont mind me im just. replaying fontaine but in my head and via youtube trailers #actually something else is that while i still think most of the sumeru chars look a bit too much like they used skin bleach #the sequence right before nah.ida's burst where she's traveling through her own dreamscape is like. soo good im soooo.... #references her character story... full of whimsy and elegance.. visiting children while asleep etc.. knowledge spreading something somethin #i also always liked how the 2 children floating in front of that window looked like they were guarding the gates of wisdom or smth #like sentries in front of a library. but theyre kids so its less somber and more like. idk joyful. house of learning open to all etc. #in a character trailer appreciation mood rn ig

His wife casually brought up going through his phone (to him) in front of me. I had a feeling he'd either show her the text I sent him or she'd see it anyways, but that seemed like it was aimed at me...

#like she was warning me not to text him because she'll see it? #But also why is she going through his phone?? #Does she suspect something? #She's always so sweet to me but sometimes I feel like she knows I like him #Because she'll look at me weird occasionally #And when she sees us together her voice will get kind of bitter sounding? #Like I get it 100% #I wouldn't be crazy about my husband hanging out with a girl half our age either at 40 #but I don't really think there's anything going on between S and me #like out of context a lot of the stuff could be seen as flirting #but at the end of the day I'm not really sure I believe he is #male teacher crush #teacher and student #teacher crush community #male teacher x female student #teacher crush #teacher x student #male tc #teacher cc #s #teacher confessions #teacher crush confessions #teacher crush blog #tc blog #tc crush #tcc #tc community #tcc feelings #tcc tumblr

thinking again about jo and the master's relationship.... how jo visted the master in prison.... how by "frontier in space" they're literally trapped in a cell together bantering... how jo is absolutely the reason for the master's subsequent obsession with the doctor's companions and deep unacknowledged desire for a companion of their own...

#dw #the master #jo grant #ok to rb #i am thinking of missy's 'you're the puppy' #and her deliciously unhinged obsession with clara #and her begruding tolerance bordering on affection for bill #and i'm thinking of dhawan!master using his time as O to get to know the entire fam #and i'm thinking of simm!master's twisted obsession with martha jones #and his inexplicable absolutely ridiculous (derogatory) reference to rose tyler in lottl despite having NO WAY of knowing who she is #and how him choosing lucy is absolutely a manifestation of him wanting a companion #and i'm thinking of how ainley!master can't help but flirt with like. every companion he meets #and you could argue all of this is their jealousy over companions' relationship with the doctor #but i'd argue it just as much stems from delgado's relationship with jo that by the end was practically friendly and affectionate #ren speaks #sometimes i say things people like

Would love to read more form the wildfire one? Maybe something funny and soft?

"Thena?"

She jumped, fumbling with the key in her hands. She managed to catch it, at least. Gil did give her this key himself, after all. It was quite a leap of faith, considering how isolated anyone and everyone was out here.

"Everything okay?" Gil asked as he closed his truck door and walked up his driveway to the cabin.

She fidgeted with the key in her hands. She had somewhat been hoping to slip in and out while he was on duty, maybe at the station. She was going to leave him something as a thanks, of course! But she had been hoping to...keep to herself.

"Yeah, everything's fine," she insisted, still somewhat more agitated than he usual demeanour. She gripped her key, "sorry to...drop in."

"No, it's okay," Gil shook his head, smiling slowly, "that's why I gave you the spare."

She had been cleared to return to patrol weeks ago. And as her parting gift, she had left him a little bear carving she had made. It was crude and rough, but in her own words, she had little option for whittling lessons when she was stuck in his fucking bed all day.

In return, he had given her a spare key to the cabin, saying she could come any time she needed a break from the wilderness.

"How was duty?" she asked in hopes of appearing more normal, even moving aside as Gil used his own key on his belt clip to get in.

"Pretty routine," he smiled and spoke over his shoulder, a subconscious invitation for her to follow him in. "Not too many idiots looking to start a fire when it's this wet out."

"Hm," she nodded as she stepped into the both eerily and comfortingly familiar cabin behind him. Despite any and all circumstances, it smelled like home. Well, it smelled like 'a' home, whether hers or not was beside the point.

"Are you hungry?" Gil asked, still fishing for the reason to find her at his doorstep at the end of the workday. "I can make something."

"Uh," she paused, her eyes darting away just for a second, "y-yeah, that would be nice, Gil."

He gave her this look, like she was trying to bullshit her way out of something. He crossed those stupid arms of his and shifted his weight on his feet, "that'd be...nice?"

She rolled her eyes at him, "I can't be fucking nice?"

"You can be nice," he countered easily with a chuckle. If anything, she doubted that was the true part. "But that's not what you're here for."

She looked up at the ceiling, which also felt very familiar to her. Why was this so hard?--why did it feel so embarrassing to say? "I was hoping...to use the shower."

That obviously surprised Gil, and she couldn't even blame him a little bit for it. "The shower?"

She sighed, feeling as if he'd unearthed this horrible thing about her, when really it was very logical! "I guess I got used to it - or something - while I was here. Sometimes it's hard to go back to the lake knowing I could have nice warm water for it again."

"Right," he nodded slowly, visibly thinking through whatever litany of things he had on the brain. She had told him about going to the lake to bathe, and he had of course very chivalrously asked if that was safe for her. Guy was a gentleman even in hypotheticals.

"I mean," she cleared her throat, unsure herself as to why she was still explaining herself. There was a time when she would have walked right in, used his shower as she liked, and gotten the fuck out of there. And she wouldn't have felt the need to tell him shit either. "It won't be every time. Just, uh, it was pretty cold today and-"

"Thena."

God, those eyes were just so brown, and big and sad looking--like a puppy whining to be loved. She rolled her eyes at him, which was basically a physical reflex of hers, now.

"Use it any time you want," he shook his head, as if he couldn't believe she would even feel the need to ask. He uncrossed his arms, "when I said use your key any time, I meant it. I had it made for you and everything."

Fuck. That was...really sweet. Thena looked down at the key in her hands, her gut twisting and flipping and doing all sorts of things. She gulped, "fuck."

He just chuckled.

She tried to look him in the eyes, but her gaze kept sliding around everywhere else. "Thanks, Gil, that's...really nice."

"I did tell you that before you left, right?" he tilted his head, and there was the asshole who liked to tease her about her sweater habits and tell some of the worst jokes she'd ever heard in her life. "Or did I hallucinate that morning we had breakfast and you even let me hug-"

"Okay, okay, dry your eyes, Mister Sentimental. I'm just gonna wash my disgusting hair and be on my way."

"Your hair is beautiful."

"Hm?" she looked back before dropping her bag in the bathroom. She tilted her head; she couldn't have heard what she thought she heard. "Sorry, what-?"

"Spaghetti--do you want spaghetti?" he asked, also halfway into the kitchen, over his shoulder.

She must have heard wrong. She nodded, "uh, yeah, that's--sure."

"Okay."

"Okay."

The two stared one another down for another second before continuing on. Thena set her bag down and unclipped it to fish out her fresh clothes. She tried to replay what she had thought she heard in her head but it was no clearer than the damn inkblot tests in a psych eval. "Whatever."

If he had something to say, he could say it to her face. Even if it was something like that.

#Thenamesh Wildfire AU #listen #I love flirting #I love idiots falling in love #I love grumpyxsunshine #and Thena is about as grumpy as it gets #she does go to the lake #it's freezing cold #it's raining most of the day #after being gone so long #her least favourite national park ranger has come around to check on her #and not leave her the fuck alone #so she thinks well maybe now is the time to go back to Gil's #she acts like she doesn't think about it #but she keeps this key so safe #in a bundle in a pouch in a pocket in her pack #it's sparkling brand new #sometimes she just holds it #but sure HE'S Mister Sentimental
