Gene Wilder is a man written by a woman 🥺🩷

#no bc he’s such a romantic by nature #even back then he had all the girlies fall in love with him #there’s a clip of I think Richard Pryor who said that gene attracts pussy and some pretty white boys lololo #there’s an aura to him that is so attractive #he’s calm and gentle #he’s not pretentious or pedantic #he’s intelligent he’s handsome he loves film and literature #in life he attracted so many hearts which is why I’ve seen all around the internet that he was a lot of people’s first crush #he’s handsome and beautiful both inside and out!!! #even his films and movies are about loving women #he also said one of his happiest pleasures in life was loving a woman next to writing and directing #he’s so beautiful to me🥺🩷 #gene wilder #willy wonka and the chocolate factory #young frankenstein #blazing saddles #the producers

??????????????????

surely not. are you implying that during date plan natsume was struggling with coming up with an idea and not only went to tsumugi, a completely irrelevant third-party with probably ZERO dating experience for advice, but then used tsumugis OWN IDEAL FIRST DATE as a base to work off of rather than, oh, i dont know, GOING WITH YOUR IDEAL DATE????? WHY ARE U BASING UR DATE PLAN ON TSUMUGIS IDEAL DATE AND NOT UR OWN ARE U STUPID. ARE U GAY. my eyes must be deceiving me bc aint no way

#WHAT ARE YOU DOING #ARE TOU CRAZY #whatever. #WHAYEVER #THIS IS SO DUMB SOMEONE LOCK HIM UP #nat rambles #nats enst posting #no bc i feel so ill bc if we're going by my delusion then natsumes idea is such a cute and romantic twist on tsumugis initial idea #bc its kinda like. Showing u those starry skies in a natural environment rather than going to a planetarium #(which is arguably more convenient if u wanna guarantee a gorgeous view) #but natsumes idea makes it sound like No we should be experiencing the real deal out under the night time sky #But this is me being crazy. ignore me. #NATSUMES OWN IDEAL FIRST DATE IS SO CUTE TOO HE LITERALLY COULDVE JUST GONE WITH THAT #WHATS WRONG WITH HIM #THE DATE PLAN ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO SIMILAR

i only want love triangles if it's whatever fucked up polygon junmo kicheol and euijeong have going on

#the worst of evil #ranting #idk how to articulate how juicy it is #junmo's fierce protectiveness of his wife - he trusts her but can't help his jealousy fear or frustration while trapped in the situation #euijeong hurting but putting her own life on the line worried for her husband while unpacking the memories of her first love #she can't help but sympathize with kicheol and what he's endured; haven't seen much of how she feels rn but it must be c o n f l i c t e d #(not necessarily even in a romantic way but wanting to root for a person chasing their goals who was once so important to you) #(all while grieving her mother without the support of her literal goddamn spouse by her side) #and kicheol. also grieving and trying to establish a place for himself and his crew yet drawn to junmo despite the red flags #his panic and desperation when jungmo bled out on him which must have triggered his own memories of losing taeho #junmo who has every reason to despise kicheol barely concealing his general rage but protects him like it's second nature at every turn #all while conflicted as a bystander to atrocities (and now willfully leaving another cop to die to protect himself his wife and the mission #getting mentally and physically pummeled left and right just bc his superiors demand it from him #all to please euijeong's family by using the promotions to prove himself and get rid of the stigma weighing him down #like !!! #and haven't even touched on kicheol wooing euijeong against his buddy's wishes and in such a pure heart fluttering way #accepting the risk for a second chance to bathe in the bright light she used to shine on his life #OMG AND BIBI'S ENTRANCE!! junmo realizing her interest gives him leverage and agency but struggling to use it to his advantage #it's soooo messy and i'm obsessed #that funeral arc is gonna haunt me for years #as is the tension during the pat down which def was supposed to be like a gang pride/dignity/lack of power against the jp folks thing #also testing their relationship and responsibilites as leader subordinate #but felt charged around whether kicheol would protest or junmo would accept the manhandling in totally different 👀 ways #goddamn i wrote an essay and this doesn't even scratch the surface of the meat of the show #tldr; i have many many feelings and for once the 'love triangle' isn't making me gauge out my own eyeballs #it's about power it's about raising the stakes and revealing things about the characters w/o dominating the plot

just here to say again that gay people can and very often do experience “crushes” on people of different genders, particularly when they’re young and don’t understand the difference between romantic and platonic love, and that doesn’t make them any less gay

stranger things has done a fucking phenomenal job of displaying this through mike wheeler, whose entire romantic arc has been about discovering what that difference is, specifically through his two major relationships, will and el. he mistakes the platonic feelings for romantic ones and the romantic feelings for platonic ones before (VERY gradually imo) realizing that he’s had them mixed up the entire time

#i used to make up crushes to tell my friends bc i thought I was weird for never having crushes #(i just didn’t realize same gender crushes were a thing despite DEFINITELY HAVING THOSE) #and whenever I did or whenever friends assumed I had a crush on someone I convinced myself it was real #like for YEARS I could do it #i had long term relationships bc I found out someone liked me and assumed my platonic feeling must actually be romantic #it’s EXTREMELY common and I genuinely applaud st for the way they’re portraying it with so much nuance and complexity it’s incredible #again: this isn’t a story about someone choosing between two equally likely romantic prospects. it simply isn’t #it is not portrayed that way at all and ESPECIALLY if you think mike is an oblivious character (i don’t) it makes way more sense that his #journey is about REALIZING the true nature of his feelings for both el and will #that they WEREN’T what he thought and assumed they were but rather that his feeling for el have ALWAYS been platonic #and his feeling for will are surprise surprise…. ACTUALLY romantic #*I somehow mistyped ‘feelings’ as ‘feeling’ three separate times wtf lmao #beets posts

I've never received so much psychic damage from reading something in a fic as I have today reading a paragraph referring to f1t as p4c's "best friend and most trusted companion" with no mention to m1ke at all

#names all censored because I don't want this to appear in any search results I just want to complain without affecting anybody #lucasings #and I'm saying this as someone who looves f1tpac like I see them and I go meus pais meus pais !! #I just really don't like the q!m1ke erasure especially when it's to make f1t the most important person in p4c's life #I'm already disappointed every day by the little amount of p4c and m1ke content there is compared to h1deduo #and in general the amount of ppl who sometimes seem to forget m1ke exists at all when talking about p4c's character #which I kinda get bc he's hasn't been able to log on for a good while now #but like. the most important person in q!p4c's life IS q!m1ke and viceversa and there is absolutely nothing that will change that #they've been life partners for over 10 years. their existence in each other's lives is irreplaceable and non-negotiable. #just bc their relationship is not romantic in nature that doesn't make it less significant #and this will not change regardless if q!p4c starts dating someone or not #nobody come @ me ok I'm just an arospec little guy who believes in queerplatonic q!t4zercraft supremacy #I still want q!f1t and q!p4c to smooch and stuff and for the fandom to keep making content of them #I just don't want that relationship to take precedence/priority over q!t4zercraft's platonic relationship #bc you and I both know the reason any of this is happening at all is because there's such a tendency to ignore platonic relationships in #media and favor the romantic relationships as if they're inherently more important #anyway. rant over :3 #I'm going to see if I can turn on my pc without it exploding bc of the fucking heatwave. bye bye

so i've seen the idea that hunter, due to something about grimwalker anatomy/creation, would start to have issues with his physical health after being disconnected from the ambient magic of the isles (like how luz's glyphs don't work in the human realm), which is a cool source of angst or hurt/comfort

but if i may add some fluff/extra comfort to that concept:

(some background first)

1: witches have their own stores of magic bc of their bile sacks, like how lilith could cast spells in the human realm. (i personally imagine their bodies can generate their own magic for a while even after not absorbing any of the ambient magic of the isles. but after TOO LONG (specific time length depends on the individual witch + how much bile they use every day but i wanna say a couple months on average maybe?) their body kinda stops being able to produce bile; it's like vitamin deficiency preventing your body from regenerating but instead of vitamins, it's titan magic)

2: things like galderstones and palismen/palistrom wood (which hunter is made of) kinda like, connect to and channel the magic of whatever witch wields them. and this generally only happens when the witch is physically holding said items

what i am getting at, with these two things in mind:

-hunter would need to absorb/connect to the magic of his witch friends ("witch" as in species, in this case), as a temporary replacement for magic from the isles/titan, at least until they can get back home

-the way for this connection to happen is by physical contact

SO BASICALLY: hunter, while stuck in the human realm, needs to be held (or otherwise be given physical contact) quite often, for his physical wellbeing

#eliot posts #toh #the owl house #hunter #hunter toh #hunter deamonne #he mostly gets this from willow and gus bc he is closest with them but also bc they are naturally powerful witches #willow takes the opportunity to hold him whenever she can #gus tends to hold his hand or snuggle against his side #if willow and gus are unavailable for too long then amity will take over hunter duty #she'll complain melodramatically but she doesn't actually mind bc he is her friend. it's just that i think she'd treat him like her sibling #they mostly just lean against one another #i think she does it less than willow and gus not just bc she and hunter aren't as close but also bc her magic is less powerful than theirs #it's kinda funny that she's the least powerful of the trio. like her abilities are more from carefully honed skill than natural power #also luz doesn't want to be left out and insists on hugging the sad boy anyway even though she has no magic of her own #thinking the time his voice actor said that if hunter were hugged for so long he'd get so comfortable he'd fall asleep #the boy is so very touch starved and sleep deprived #he ends up losing his eyebags by the time this is all over #note that all of this is meant to be read as platonic affection #i won't get mad if you read it as romantic w willow or mayyybe even luz tho #bit of you ship him romantically w the lesbiab or the 12yo then i will hunt you down #possible exception for the former if ur one of the folks that headcanons hunter as transfem i guess. no exception for gus tho.

[sonknuxadow]

its sooo funny to me when people get mad over lgbt headcanons for sonic characters and say stuff like "you cant do that theyre canonically STRAIGHT!!!!".. even though 99 percent of sonic characters dont have canon sexualities and the few that do are Not straight. and when it comes to characters genders we just know their gender not whether theyre cis or trans. plus just because a character isnt canonically gay and/or trans doesnt make them canonically cishet by default.. get over yourselves

#''you cant say shadow is gay hes straight :/'' are you kidding me.. #that hedgehog has shown zero romantic interest in ANYONE throughout the entire sonic franchise #any close relationships he has with girls are outright confirmed to not be romantic in nature at all #what do you MEAN hes straight where is the evidence that hes straight. you literally only think that bc straight = default to you #you can think hes straight if you want to. but he doesnt have a canon sexuality people can headcanon him as whatever they want. die mad #''sonic is straight he has a girlfriend'' he only had girflfriends in pre reboot archie sonic. which isnt canon to the games #or to anything other than itself. plus he still doesnt have a canon sexuality #bi people exist and you can date people of a specific gender only to later realize youre not actually attracted to that gender #i could go on listing every single character ive seen people pull this stuff with and why theyre wrong lmao #just admit that youre homophobic and transphobic and think cishet is the default #instead of getting mad at people over harmless headcanons

#ok ik all the hot take asks are pre much done and the sparkly say smth nice asks are better but well I’ve been having thoughts all day at #work and want to get them out now so that’s what I’m doing lol #obvs for the past few months i think ppl are vv heavily leaning into the dnf /r and I firmly believe that they aren’t #like yes I enjoy being a multi shipper but I still primarily read dnf fics bc they’re cute dnf writers and artists MWAHH ilysm #but it’s been increasingly annoying how every move dnf make ppl hyper obsess over it and ignore everything else like blog what u want this #is tumblr dot com but I think ppl how only see dnf thro the lens of romantic do much more ‘harm’ than ppl who dont #like the argument about taking validation out of their very REAL amazing friendship just gets over shadowed by omg Dream posted a pic of #geogre they’re in LOVE and sucking and FUCKING every night. like #and then completely disregard when dnf do and say the exact same shit about all their other friends #like dream has explicitly said they aren’t dating (ignore that tho) amd that’s he’s kissed multiple ppl since coming out (ignore that too) #and their friends naturally say that they’re all single (ignore that too) idk man it’s ok they like to pander amd that dream is a toxic #dnfer but it’s all just For Funsies. another thing is ppl CONSTANTLYYYY putting geohres sexuality under a microscope oh he drinks lemonade #from Starbucks he’s soooo gay like dumb shit like that is so irritating #the fact that geogre has never once talked about his sexuality except that one instance where he got a DONO about it proves how much it #just doesn’t matter or apply to the type of content creator he is/wants to be #to be clear if he is or isn’t or dnf every explicitly announce their romantic relationship im gonna be sooooo happy and supportive like aw #dnfogies🫶🏻 but I think there’s a 99.9% chanve that’ll never happen so maybe we should all just care a Little Less and focus on out lgbt #creators if that’s smth u wanna watch/blog about idk maybe I’m just burnt out from the phandom but whyyyyy does is matter what their #sexualities are they play minecraft who cares who CARESSSS idk maybe just having older brothers around dtqk ages has made me realize that #guys will just act homiesexual no matter What #guys are just Like That and tbc I’m not saying that just bc gnf hasn’t made an official coming out doesn’t mean he’s not queer but for the #sake of his contwnt it doesn’t matter either way ? so why are ppl talking about it on the daily idk man it’s just annoying but Oh Well #at the end of the day they’re all famous white guys and nothing matters hurray !!

i am unknowable and incapable of love goodnight <3

#romantic love i mean #against my will tho bc i want love so bad #but tbh i never feel anything more than awkward when i date 😬 #i only feel comfortable with people when there's no romantic pressure idk #would genuinely love to build a platonic life with someone why do i have to be in love to marry someone and have a family w them 😭 #love is real im just never going to experience it btw #but i still would like companionship and i really want kids tbh #i dont want to settle for not love in a relationship where thats expected or wanted and the other person loves me #but if it was an entirely platonic no pressure relationship that would be nice #maybe that would grow into love but the pressure of romance right off the bat kills the romance #in need to be close friends for like a decade first #sorry sorry im rambling insane thoughts its 11:30 and i just decided to break up with someone #and he's staying at my home so im even more painfully aware of having another person so deeply involved in my life that they become family #sorry you're not family i dont know anyone but my family well enough to let them be family and i never will please get out of my house #i make no sense but basically i love my family and want kids of my own but i dont want romance in there just platonic family love #romantic love is too hard to find and scary and weird i basically want to live with my actual family and adopt some kids someday sorry #this might change if i met the right person but i would need to be friends with them for a long time with no pressure first #and looking for that person is too forced and weird #anyway #its 11:30 in my 20s a week before valentine's day so naturally i am going insane that's all goodnight

[spiritofjustice]

think i might have said something to this degree before but it's a shame Beau dies before he ever gets to meet/interact with Mimi. i think they could have kind of an endearing friendship, barring Beau being. yknow. her husband's affair partner KRKFN but ignoring that, she'd probably find him to be very funny and sweet, at least in small doses. i think they'd click to the point Vincent would feel weird about it lol.

i once thought abt an AU where Beau is alive long enough to go to New York n meet Mimi and i think that'd be fun horror all on its own, though. meeting someone that she initially really likes, then getting weird vibes about his relationship to her husband, and then the slow dawning realization of "something is deeply wrong with this man and i'm scared' while Vincent seems to be completely blind to the idea that anything is wrong and there's very little she can do. tis a fun concept. too bad i can't use it

#psy's no punctuation posts #SOBR tag #mimi augustus #beau rudolph #horror and frustration feel like a natural pairing. Mother! was pretty bad but the frustration tied to horror was SO good #and i think that's underrated. the feeling of someone being right but no one is listening or changing their mind no matter what is so scary #anyways back to general Beau and Meems stuff #long term i think she would eventually get pissed off at him for being so irresponsible #though she might also be more firm about trying to get him to clean his act up than Vincent is. and i wonder if that'd work #bcs ofc it's Mimi's job to mother this grown ass man in hopes of him getting his shit together. lmao #she doesn't need that drama KRJKF #BUT LIKE i rly do think they'd have a cute friendship if it doesn't get too deep. Beau would adore her too #also idk WHY i feel like Vincent would get weird about it. it's not like he doesn't like the idea of Beau and Meems getting along. #i think he wants them to get along and everyone to be happy but it triggers some odd jealousy in him #which i actually do kinda like Beau/Mimi as a concept. a casual relationship. so maybe Vincent SHOULD worry but KRJFH #she should worry more than anyone. dear god woman get out of there MKSDND #even if he isn't possessed it's just a really bad idea to get involved with him romantically lol #i ship Mimi with happiness and finding a man who can actually properly reciprocate her endless affection

[skitskatdacat63]

In that Nando doc, I cannot get his girlfriend saying that he's "competitive in everything he does" out of my head 😭

#i remember someone on here referencing this but god they rly emphasized his competitive nature in that first ep #also funny bcs they talked abt all the different sports hes way too intense abt #and then i could only think of that mark clip abt him talking abt them playing basketball together during the wknd #but remember guys #hes competitive in *everything* #i love fic writers going into that aspect with strollonso #like just the insane amnt of competitive flirting #but lance is keeping up no worries(i.e calling them romantic) #also the whole overtake award clip 😵‍💫 #fernando 'competitive flirter' alonso saying he voted for lance and then lance grabbing his shoulder 🤭 #but anyways to me an essential facet of strollonso: fernando being super competitive but lance seemingly chill but also unhinged #@abushelandablog you get me w that ^ 🤭🤭 #catie.rambling.txt

[selfinflictedgunshotwound]

i think i've finally come to understand why i'm so bad at communicating with friends 👍 at one point or another i've thought i was in love with every single person i've ever been friends with (for the most part, at least) because i don't expect other people to like me. OBVIOUSLY this is not true but platonic feelings are not dissimilar to romantic ones (baseline they're the same: you want to love and be loved by someone) but i always end up realizing that i'm not in love with them, just that they matter to me very much and i wouldn't know what do to w/o their presence in my life. BUT this brings me to facet number 2 of my awful communication skills: i hate it when things Get Real. i find myself retreating any time it seems like Something Could Change in my day-to-day life due to them being around and "forcing" the change. i run away from talking to one of my only irl friends on almost a daily basis bc i dread the idea of having to do anything she might want me to do. i think, at the end of the day, my problem might just be that i don't want to change... ANYWAYS

#i actually think the funniest example of this comes from the irl guy friend i think i actually DO have romantic feelings for #i never used to have feelings for him but i always kind of nursed the idea of such a thing (as i said i think i could be in love with most #friends before i realize i'm not - but with him specifically i never had a moment where i realized i... wasn't?) also my previously #aforementioned irl friend kind of insinuated he might have feelings for me or we might end up with one another and now every time i think #abt him i think about THAT so. #anyways a few years ago he came by my house and picked me up and we got ice cream and talked for hours bc we have a lot in common #and he actually manages to keep in contact with me despite how hard it is (how hard i make it) to talk to me on a consistent basis lol #like we don't talk a LOT but he's also the one who convinced me to contact my former other irl best friend that i hadn't talked to in 6 yrs #anyways back to what i was talking abt from a few years ago... it was 4 yrs ago at this point but after the ice cream - i got a job #and we talked a lot - he took me and my irl bff out but she had a HUGE fight with her bf and he tracked her down and it was. a disaster #but after that they made up (lucikly she broke up with him not too long after lmao) but me and him were put in the middle of it #and anyways we went to the mall with the annoying couple LMAO but we broke off and it was just... really nice to be with him? #and then we went to walmart and rented a movie and went back to my irl's apartment and i tried to dye his hair in her bathroom LMAO #and it just felt really natural to be close to him and whatnot. we really get along and i really don't dislike him and i'm not NOT into him #but yeah anyways a few days later he messaged me and asked if he could pick me up from work but i told him no because at that point i was. #afraid. because i had a dream that i had kissed hik and he turned into rick sanchez and drowned LMFAOOO IT SOUNDS RETARDED BUT. #like i think the point of the dream was that if i showed him that i had some kind of feelings for him he would change or die or disappear? #i always assume the worst. but yeah the dream literally put me off so bad that i cut contact with him for almost 2 years #because i was afraid of him and i was afraid of my life changing #idk. maybe i should give it a try now. i'm still scared but you never know. #i at least wanna say 'thanks' for him convincing me to message my friend from 6 years ago so 🤷‍♀️ who knows

mike expressing his romantic feelings for el through the seasons <3

#it's the consistency of their dynamic in one-on-one scenes for me #s2 footage not found bc they don't have a single scene alone together the entire season lmao how romantic #'i say it' (has never said it to her face and the one time he said it behind her back it was immediately labeled a family discussion) #the nature of his feelings for her hasn't changed if he doesn't love her that way now then when did he #........anyway milkvan is endgame and you can't say i'm wrong bc it's my interpretation bye #mikesbasementbeets posts

I usually don’t lean heavily on soulmate/soulmark aus, especially for td, but the random thought of a dashawn soulmark/soulmate au that's also sorta compliant with canon popped into my head and it’s got ahold of me simply bc of how utterly wack it is--plus a side dose of angst and obliviousness

(blaming shark with his "destiny brought them together and keeps them apart" line /lh)

#braindump here bear with me #so it starts from the beginning up until…like the finale #so the whole season basically #it’s the typical ‘your soulmate’s first words to you on your body’ au but with these two you bet it’s gonna be wack #debating between the words on dave being totally normal smth ANYONE would say so he literally has no clue if he passed his soulmate- #-without knowing #adds more to his ‘normal guy’ deal #OR it could be the exact opposite (bc this is Shawn’s first words to him so) and it’s smth so wildly abnormal BUT #he doesn’t hear it being said to him so he thinks he hasn’t met his soulmate when in reality he has #for SHAWN it’s more complicated #given the guy’s mentality I can see him being more skeptical abt soulmates and the marks #(prob thinks it’s a conspiracy) #so either it’s a fluke and he somehow doesn’t have a soulmark #OR he has one he just hasn’t looked or given it attention in so long he’s forgotten what the words are #he like literally doesn’t give a shit abt it which opposes dave’s more romantic view #and like there’s pining and frustrating obliviousness and idk who finds out first but damn imagine the feels #and they naturally gravitate toward each other bc of them being soulmates and they’re confused af but rolling with it #‘yeah idk why I’m seeking out your company but I’m chalking it up to wilderness insanity nothing more. you’re my best friend here man’ #it’s all in the ✨perspective✨ and that’s what makes it interesting #wow I could actually take this somewhere #I wanna finish agtsta first though. or at least get halfway through it #plus I’ve so many other plot bunnies hanging around 😭 #no but I’ve a whole set of bullet-points for this I might post it later on if this gets traction #noahtally-famous #total drama #kit stuff #dashawn

[llycaons]

another thing I liked was how vicious and hateful and unforgivable xy was depicted because he literally did manipulate a good man into murdering hundreds of people and then tortured and murdered a little girl, whose pov we are reading from, like I find him entertaining as a villain but he's absolutely vile and sooo many fics want to be like '🥺 he just needed love' well he actually did get unconditional love and support and companionship FROM XXC and he used it to manipulate and mass murder so idk it was really awful what he went through but I think in any situation he would have been a fucked up sadist out for his own amusement and you know what im just going to link it: x. it's good but the wx is very novel-faithful so 😔

#'but he was sad when xxc died!' okay he still continued to murder and torture people? #I think he had an obsession that was probably romantic/sexual in nature too but it was extremely self-centered and violent #and it didn't stop him from being a monster #imo a weakness of the commentary on Society from the series is how jgy and xy actually were given chances and they squandered them #which can happen ofc but it seems to validate their mistreatment and abuse in retrospect like lxc slapping jgy was so awful and out of line #and the only solution to being poor and and not being villainized is to just Be Perfect like wwx #or be an unassuming and harmless commoner like mianmian's husband #I also think su she's who schtick of being insecure and jealous and a ruining people's lives over it just sucks and has bad implications #since he's sooo jealous of rich people but he's also presented as weak and a pathetic/desperate copycat #which is a shame bc the complexity of wwx's situation and how ppl treat him based on his parentage is really well-done imo #and the series could have said a lot more #anyway if you unironically write cutesy domestic AUs with xy I think you might be too far gone to bring back #ficblogging

"You know I'm in love with you, right?" Oh jeez it's just as (if not more) weird and awkward as it was in canon

#maddie liveblogs tlovm #vax's face when keyleth goes all 'WAIT WHAT NOW??' on him lmao. yeah that's the regret setting in lmao. #but like. ok. gonna get long and ranty in the tags here. #I mean vax has always been subtle (but not overly so!) w his flirting at the start #all I rly remember offhand is him picking flowers specifically for keyleth and being like... huh..... #note!! I am aro and autistic and generally oblivious to anything romantic in nature!! #so yeah if I were keyleth in canon and vax told me that I'd still be thrown off and surprised but. at least there were hints of it. #in the show?? none of that lol #he's been hanging around her closely and being protective/admiring/etc of her I guess? #but that can be vague and interpreted so many ways #so (in the show) for him to be all 'you know that right? ;)' like????? uhh????? not rly no???? #devil's advocate his vague affection and flirting and ust could've been happening offscreen. which is dumb btw. #also I forgot about the ust. yes ok there's been a Lot of ust onscreen- #-but I hate w a passion ust in general? how momentary awkward silence between 2 ppl automatically means pining??? frick that #the only reason I'm not more upset about them is bc vax has a heart of gold and Respects keyleth and her boundaries w all his being #vaxleth is a weird ship that kinda goes against so many other ships bc it kinda naturally develops like irl couples?? #idk how to explain bc like. it's slowburn but feels natural in the way most slowburns don't #it's a ship that focuses on the individuals' development and character not the romance itself??? if that makes sense???? #I'm going off the rails as per usual but. yeah. I have a lot of weird thoughts about that.
