#like he's pining for her

[mayfieldss]

writing from a guys point of view is just so much more fun.

#like he's pining for her #but he doesn't know it #and he loves the way her voice sounds when she's tired #and how she smiles at him makes his heart grow fonder #this steve fic is just me doing all this #steve harrington #being oblivious to feelings for his ex best friend #is the best #and my favorite #trope ever #eva rambles

Lately I've been thinking about Peach's healing power again; only this time, I wanted to draw it in a pleasant context rather than a dramatic or bittersweet one! The idea that her soothing magic can not only alleviate others' pain but also make them relaxed to the point of inducing sleep is one that I really like, and I couldn't resist using this element for a bit of fluff. 🤭💖

(Based on the original concept by @drones-of-innocence and inspired from @peaches2217's lovely headcanons 🙏)

#Another idea I'm very fond of is that Peach would secretly LOVE pampering Mario #Always looking for any valid excuse to give the man special care #Namely by standing unnecessarily close and / or touching him in some way 😂 #Brushing an unruly brown lock back in place - Arranging the straps of his overalls - making a tiny adjustment only to undo it right after - #She would always want to he near him 💕 #And by some curse or miracle Mario would systematically miss every single hint sent his way 😭🙇‍♀️ #Oh he'd be over the moon alright #But would think she's just being her sweet and generous self like always #Being painfully courteous and charming about her lovely attentions in turn without even trying #Thus continuing the endless pining cycle! x3 #These two I stg #mario #princess peach #mario x peach #mareach #romance #fluff #love and affection #lovers in denial #Super Mario Bros #Fanart

Gay horse man looks like a princess

Gay horse man learns to respect trans butch lesbians and various other people who won't date him

#zephyr breeze #zephyr breeze redesign #rainbow dash #rainbow dash and zephyr breeze #mlp fanart #mlp redesign #skyscraper gods #shire draws mlp #listen he was clearly gay #shire draws #but kept hitting on rainbow dash and insisting she was in love with him #so therefore there must be some mistake #He seems the self absorbed type to decide he knows exactly who everyone is on sight if it suits his vanity #I dont see him as intentionally doing it to be phobbic #it just doesnt occur to him that people might be different from his headcanons #When it finally does get through his head he will respect it while pining about what could have been #he will never fully apologize but he will stop hitting on her at least #also rainbow likes men fine just not romantically #all of these headcanons are new as of this post and are just true because its funny

whenever people are like "i love ships where the girl is badass and the boy is in awe of her" i just always default to rayllum bc i don't think there's any ship where the guy is more of her #1 fan and cheerleader like look at him

Rayla is selfless, strong, and caring. That's what makes her a hero. That's what makes her Rayla.

#like nobody else compares #rayllum #pining!callum #supportive callum #and he does all of this without idealizing her and while simultaneously recognizing that #she needs help and care and concern like anyone else! so much gentleness and love

Hazbin Hotel episode where Charlie finds out that Angel Dust and Husk like each other and she does a lot of shenanigans to get them together but they all backfire and then Angel Dust and her argue bcuz Angel doesn't like his personal life being invaded and then it ends with them having a conversation like, "I appreciate your help Charlie, but- I don't want rush things. I mean- this is the first time I felt hope that something could happen for... a while. I just don't want to mess it up," and Charlie backs off and lets Angel and Husk get together at their own pace

#You all saw how she reacted to Pentious telling her he likes Cherri #she DEFINITELY loved romance and all that and she would want to help her pining friends #but i imagine Angel or Husk wouldnt like her medaling #I NEED THIS TO BE A THING IN SEASON 2 #huskerdust #charlie morningstar #hazbin hotel charlie #charlie hazbin hotel #angel dust #angel dust hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel angel dust #husk #hazbin hotel husk #husk hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel season 2 #talking #rambling

#scott pilgrims precious little life #scott pilgrim vs the world #spvtw #spto #scott pilgrim #wallace wells #lisa miller #scollace #kim pine #natalie adams #envy adams #don't rlly know if I like how this turned out but oh well;;; #hope its obvious that this is based on the song “Scott Pilgrim” which the creation the comics were inspired from #the lyrics always make me think of Wallace and Lisa's feelings for Scott every time I hear it #ofc you could also relate it to Kim especially since the singers voice kind of reminds me of her #but overall the lyrics fit these two much better since Scott never truly “saw them that way” despite how long they've liked him #and they always seem happier to see him compared to Kim #Im surprised tho that I havent yet seen anyone draw these two together now that their dialogue parallels have been acknowledged more lately #also tho I wish more people pointed out that they both got cucked by red heads LOL #and Kim and Envy actually do look really similar when scott first meets them #makes me wonder if Scott subconsciously went for Envy since she reminded him of Kim (which would be fitting given that you could argue that #Envy dated Scott because he reminded her of Todd. Since he and Scott are confirmed to be meant to be seen as similar to one another #so much so that even their first and last names rhyme #last thing I'll add tho is that while Wallace and Lisa are very similar even personality wise #the one big difference is that despite that whole conclusion on vol4 of Scott not cheating on Ramona with Lisa because he loves her #the writers apparently think it would be “organically correct” for him to have an affair with wallace LMAO #but I guess we shouldn't be surprised since Wallace and Ramona are both in the front of the official valentines art which is clearly #a deptiction of Scotts wet dream or smth (oh and you could also argue that Wallace and Lisa parallel on that art since they're both #shirtless with white socks.. which could be a reference to how lisa wears skimpy clothes for Scott and Wallace often only wears boxers #to like sexually frustrate Scott for fun or smth

“Jyn was changing. It was evident in her fluid movements and her lucid stare…She'd shed none of her intensity, but it came with what Cassian could only interpret as a confidence bordering on invincibility.

She'd always struck him as a person unafraid to die. Now she seemed like someone who couldn't…

Jyn was changing. And through her, Cassian would do what was required of him.”

-Rogue One Novelization by Alexander Freed

#hey guys guess what #i watched rogue one again #every scene has me like “btw cassian is pining SO HARD in his mind rn” #i kind of struggled picking a quote for this bc i’ve already used most of my favorites but i like this one too! #he changed through her!!! #also this gives me “in a crowd of thousands” vibes from the anastasia musical :) #rogue one #star wars #jyn erso #cassian andor #rebelcaptain

My favorite part of my Adventure Time binge is I pick what looks like the most silly episodic episode with a weird title and a plot that seems pretty open and shut and it goes in the most unexpectedly painful and lowkey horrifying direction that leaves me shook. I expected shenanigans and got an existential crisis instead.

#adventure time #haha princess monster wife has Ice King assemble a wife from other princess parts how silly #instead Im repeatedly kicked in the face with Ice King - Simon's - utter capacity for love and empathy #Like yes he kidnapped those princess parts but the love and care he showed his monster creation in making her feel “normal” and loved #the dual nature of Ice King's curse is he acts out irrationally but then the love he can't contain still leaks through somehow #And how his wife eventually gave back the stolen parts herself -damning her own existence- bc she knew IK loved her beyond her physical for #BECAUSE SIMON HAS BEEN LOVING AND IDOLIZING AND PINING AFTER BETTY FOR 1000 YEARS WITHOUT SEEING HER #Betty wasn't fully introduced for like another whole season but her footprints on IK's heart can be seen and felt so clearly in this ep #i just wanted something silly in the bg while I ate breakfast and now I need to lie down and cry

did you know that coo is canonically lonely? {shipaganza prompt by @veveisveryuncool}

#my art #my comics #starstruck dee #coo kirby #🎀💖 #i think it would be hard being nocturnal when all your friends are diurnal and go to sleep early! i think it WOULD be lonely #in my headcanons waddle dees generally tend to go to bed early. like many other things about her starstruck's an outlier in that regard #she's often up at night stargazing when she can't sleep; but she is also the sort to tucker out suddenly and crash #also i think that coo CAN have a cozy little tree hollow with amenities! and stairs; so that his non-winged friends can visit anytime! #and the important one: is this canon to her storyline? not sure. i think... unlikely. but even if it was it might be a bit one-sided. #he's unlikely to confess to her (awake) face and she's dense as lead. you need to be really upfront with her or you'll get nowhere. #anyway. did i do it?? is this 💝Rhomance💝? #what if i wrote a four and a half page comic where coo the owl pined over my oc?? could anybody stop me? i think not! #“romantic comic about an owl and a circle” <- another banger comment left by veve and i think it about sums it up

If I had a nickel for every time Steven Moffat gave a historically aroace male character from a legacy property a female love interest because he believes that, quote, "There would be no tension in [an aroace lead], no fun in that," despite the fact that even when he writes them those romances are the least interesting parts of the character, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

#doctor who #sherlock #sherlock holmes #steven moffat #aphobia #arophobia #asexuality #aromanticism #aroace #I actually genuinely love River as a character but with the hindsight of Sherlock the stupid romance really is his mo #I would argue that even with River she is at her least interesting when she's pining after the doctor #honestly I actually like the Moffat era more than the RTD era #then again the Doctor-Rose romance was arguably more egregious than the Doctor-River romance #and the worst parts of the 12th doctor and clara were when they had romantic tension #the funniest part is that Moffat is actually really good at coding these characters as ace #but he still feels the need to shoe horn in a romance and it arguably worsens the writing #anyway; tl;dr: Steven Moffat is an otherwise good writer but he keeps letting aphobia get in the way of good writing

the thing about post-rose ten is he IS casually cruel. he tells donna to her face that she's not clever, not special, not important - and gets slapped for it, which to my mind is kinda the reason the doctor-donna relationship works. he tells martha's coworker not to waste his time, to stay behind, she'll only hold them up. leaves her crying. and like, devoting his energy to the problem at hand (the hospital is on the moon, there's an alien situation going on, everyone here and possibly everyone on earth is at risk) is the practical move at the time. but there's an obvious casual cruelty to it that he wouldn't have stooped to before.

and I'm just reminded of the way donna forgot all her loudness and bluff and immediately snapped to empathy when there were people hurt. you're a doctor, you can help. I remember her watching in horror as the doctor presided over the execution of children and the destruction of a species - and telling him he can stop now. I remember her saying that yeah, her ex-fiance, the man who poisoned her and used her and secretly looked down on her all this time, he didn't deserve to die like he did, which is a pretty big admission given the freshness of that betrayal. she has a good heart. and I can see why she would be good for this new, cruel, forgotten-his-kindness-in-all-his-pain doctor.

and I'm just so, so sorry that martha had to know this version of him in the meantime.

#doctor who #tenth doctor #falderal speaks #like other people have said it so much better but. martha deserved so much better. in so many ways. #shaking the doctor by the shoulders like YOU COULD HAVE LICKED HER FOREHEAD AND WE WOULD ALL BE FINE #you could have found someone who wasn't PINING for you to help keep you sane #because yeah I think he knew it and ignored it from fairly early on #and yeah he knew he needed Someone and. I'm sure he liked martha but he was happy to use her too. #hi. I wasn't planning to keep having thoughts but it is happening so feel free to filter tags if they bug you #there's like two decades of pent up fandom in me is the thing

My take on a human Sunset Shimmer in a college au type of situation

-> is studying audio engineering with a minor in physics ; met Twilight through their common mentor Professor Celestia -> is actually older than Twilight, but had a gap year before starting uni -> through Twilight she met Dazzle ; before being introduced to her, she was convinced that Twilight didn't actually like her, because of how cold she would act with her when running into each other (it was Dazzle that she ran into) -> likes to randomly sit in at random classes when she has some free time ; she met Starlight Glimmer (sat next to her) and Spitfire (she was teacher assistant, who spotted Sunset as a new face) this way -> bi (but is actually the lesbinator90000 of the campus) -> kinda popular, as in everyone has seen her around campus, but no one really dares approach her -> is in a band with Coloratura, Tempest Shadows (Fizzlepop Berrytwist) and Autumn Blaze ; she plays the guitar and sings sometimes -> is renting an apartment with Tempest and Autumn -> met Rainbow Dash on tinder ; they hit it off, but they decided to stay friends instead, because it was just not working out -> met Rarity through Twilight -> met Pinkie through Tempest -> her and her band often perform at Pinkie's bakery during special cafe events to boost sales -> through Pinkie's events she met AJ and Fluttershy -> is estranged from her parents, as they had kicked her out when she refused to become a doctor, lawyer or an "actual" engineer -> is working part time as a software developer (usually remote either from home or more recently from Pinkie's bakery) -> is a geek at heart, don't let her looks deceive you -> is addicted to Dazzle's ginger-honey shot coffee

It seems silly with everything going on, but... I don't know how to feel about Rayla either. / It means I love trust her. Unconditionally. / Because it's the secret of the Ocean itself. The arcanum.
