Chowder glances at Nursey, who’s broken out into even louder rhapsodies about the night sky and the color of Dex’s eyes, and then back at Dex, who looks tired. “What’s he doing?”
Dex sighs. “Trying to annoy me into making out with him. I told him I was too busy with homework to mess around.”
“Oh.” Chowder looks at Nursey. He hasn’t paused in his recital, but he is now wearing a shit-eating grin. “Is it going to work?”
“No,” Dex snaps.
“Cool,” Chowder says, and ducks out of the room to continue his way to the bathroom.
Five minutes later, when he walks back, there’s a sock on the door handle and some unmistakable noises coming from inside the room. Chowder shudders and hurries to his room to find a pair of headphones.

Trying to motivate myself to work on the next chapter of my fic, so here we are with an Avlora/Maxwell ship chart!
And for fun, a non-comprehensive list of plot parallels that I've been putting together:
They both serve as the leaders of their respective militaries.
They both act as mentor to one of the Glenbrooks and have a really close relationship with their respective royal (to the point that they're willing to sacrifice their lives to ensure that royal's safety and success).
They both independently do that thing where they hold back during the tourney and THEN dramatically reveal the fact that they held back during their later duel. They do this by unleashing devastating, flashy moves that they presumably developed and practiced in secret specifically just in case they found themselves in this exact situation. Related point: they're both insane
They both have doubts concerning their respective ruler's honor (Gustadolph and Regna respectively). Despite that, they both spend a considerable amount of time serving those rulers and consequentially develop complex feelings around it. Those thoughts generally revolve around thinking that their respective Glenbrook royal (Cordelia or Roland) would do a better job.
They both end up washed down the Norzelia River following an invasion, but manage to miraculously survive regardless and come back to help finish the war.
I am looking with incredible respect at both of their character designs.
So, in conclusion, they should fall in love about it! QED, thanks for coming to my TED talk, until next time

I’m not sure if you still do advice stuff so if you don’t then just ignore this but if you do I’d like to ask for help: my main f/os who I adore so so much is having a spinoff for the manga he’s in and basically we get to learn more about his past! but i already have my own little canon with him so im scared the spinoff it will like not be intune with what I have with him n our story n i feel bad for that idk what to do cause it’s like i feel im breaking rules n now i dont wanna read it 😭
you don't have to do anything you don't wanna do!!!
i understand you, i have been here. when eddie's prequel book came out i was so conflicted because!!! like!!! i was happy for more of him!!! but what if it changed things for us?
i read half of it, some parts were nice and some parts were not so nice. ultimately i decided to put it down because i didn't like the way it made me feel. and i struggled with that decision for a while!!!
i felt like... can i really say i love him if i don't know everything i could know about him? do i deserve loving him, have i learned loving him? is our relationship incomplete because i don't know everything? is our relationship still meaningful if i ignore pieces of his canon? and the answer is yes. it is still meaningful.
the truth of it all is that there are no rules to be broken here. sometimes it feels like there are! sometimes we make rules for ourselves, with or without realizing it! but there aren't any.
when it comes to self shipping, you do not have to do anything you don't want to do. you don't have to read more if you don't want to read more, you don't have to finish reading if you decide to start it. you don't have to follow any new canon. you can pick and choose pieces or you can throw it out entirely. and we don't have to do anything to earn or be deserving of our f/os.
just do what feels right!!! not what you think you should do, not what people say you should do, do what feels right. this is all about you!!! 🖤
