"Azriel's shadow dance around Gwyn's breath = ENDGAME"

I'm quite tired of this, it's been three years now. Do people understand that Azriel is not his shadows? Azriel's shadows caress Feyre's cheek and neck the first time they met, was it romantic? Because it's more intimate than the shadows dancing around Gwyn's breath.

The more important matter is how AZRIEL reacts towards Elain rather than how his shadows (which, I might note, made sure Elain got back safely after their interaction thinking Az rejected her. Shadows that coiled like snake, ready to defend Elain, because Nesta insulted her. Shadows that helped Az presenting the gift for Elain.) acts towards Elain.

And how does Azriel act around Elain?

Azriel doesn't need his shadows to read Elain, meaning he can read her. He understand her. (In CC, we found that shadows disappears when the person is happy and comfortable, plus even Az's shadows skitters away from him when he laughs)

Azriel waited for Elain to give her offer and permission.

Azriel knew Elain doesn't want Lucien and is very uncomfortable around his mate.

Azriel sat down with her during the longest night of the year, just talking.

Azriel was relaxed around Elain while she's presenting him her plans for the garden

Azriel was ready to risk his own life to save Elain.

It was Azriel who figured out she was missing, Azriel who figured out her powers and freed her from all the confusion she was experiencing

Azriel never let go of Elain even though she's alright and he was the one bleeding, he needed to be sure she'd be taken care of first

Azriel always reaches out for Elain.

Azriel bought her a present, bought the necklace thinking of ELAIN, and doesn't care if the necklace was given to another priestess as long as he get rid of it because it reminds him of pain

Azriel lend the TT (the one thing he never let anyone touches) to Elain, trusting her with it and wanting her to have a protection

Azriel followed Elain's laugh, wondering what had caused it.

Azriel was affected by Elain and Lucien's mating bond to the point where he cannot even stand in the same room with them together

Azriel wants Elain. Not just because of lust, but because maybe, after 500 years he already found his home.

Idk about you, but if I ever read Rhysand or Cassian wanting to taste another woman before ending up with their mate? Think about it.

If the only argument is about the shadows, then maybe ship the shadows and Gwyn? not Azriel and Gwyn? Since most people are convinced crackship=OTP, why not we make the real OTP, #ShadoWyn? Because Azriel, on the only POV we got so far from him, wasn't interested romantically to Gwyn. No, he never even considered her as a friend. Gwyn never even showed she's attracted to him, she blushed for Rhysand not for Az.

If these readers aren't even concerned about Elain's feelings and hated her so much, then I guess, they should just consider Azriel's wants and needs? Because it is Elain. He found his happiness with her. Feyre even pointed out that he never heard such a deep and joyous sound from him until Elain.

There's no need to deny every Elain and Azriel interaction throughout the series over the last 10% of a bonus chapter. It makes one think most people never read the actual books but place so much value over a chapter that wasn't available for everyone.

The POV ended up with a cliffhanger. But it never ended Elriel because it was all just a beginning, their book is yet to come and by then I hope everyone is ready to accept what SJM has been hinting us from ACOMAF until ACOSF. No need to twist texts or take every parallel that are out of context, no need to call Elriels crazy and throw out degrees. Just simply read the series with open mind, and maybe tone down the Elain hate? Okay bye.

#elriel #azriel shadowsinger #elain archeron #acotar #acosf #i swear that fb comment annoyed me today #i usually laugh it off but wtf #shadow x gwyn #shadowyn #shadows caressing a face isn't romantic but dancing around a breath is #got it #shadowyn forever

maybe not the usual but.. daniel/michael

(sorry, i love the drama of a long term relationship break up)

man don't care - JME & Giggs (for the Spotify shuffle prompts)

sorry i'm so maxiel otp i had to make this a friendship break up, i hope thats cool!

Daniel can feel Michael's eyes on him. Insistent even though there's like, at least twenty cameras pointed in their direction. Or, Daniel's direction. Everyone wants a piece of him now he's back.

"Yeah, I'm happy to be driving," he says, for what must be the thirtieth time in just as many minutes. Ignores the prickle the creeps up his spine. "The break was good for me, but now- I'm ready."

He's more than ready. He's going to be fucking triumphant. Just needs Maxy to keep Checo eating his rubber for a few more races, and then he's going to get everything that was promised to him when he was twenty-five. A championship winning car. A real fight.

It feels closer, within just the stretch of his fingertips in a way it never did back then.

"Danny Ric is back, baby," he grins, and lets the clatter of camera clicks wash over him.

Afterwards, in the coridoor Michael corners him. Daniel glances over top of his shoulder, desperate for some sort of escape or excuse, but there's too many prying eyes to brush him off completely. Unless he wants some bullshit, speculative article being written about it.

"Hey," he says with a tight nod when Michael just puts a hand on his shoulder and doesn't say anything. Ignores all the early mornings spent panting into his yoga matt it reminds him of, Michael correcting his form.

He doesn't have time for small talk, or whatever this is. Who'd have thought, that even without being his trainer, Michael would still be able to wind up that tight coil of tension inside him.

"Are you really happy?" Michael asks eventually, when most of the room has cleared out.

And that's some fucking nerve coming from him.

"I don't know, Mikey," he says after a beat of disbelief. He brushes his hand away roughly and steps back. "Maybe if you picked up the phone once in the winter break, you'd know, huh?"

Michael's eyes dip to the floor, like he's ashamed. Good, Daniel thinks, viciously. Where the fuck where you when I needed you?

"Mate, come on," Michael tries anyway, though his voice is hardly louder than a mumble. "You know we were a little toxic by the end of last season."

Toxic. Like Daniel is another client looking for 'mental health coaching,' and not someone who used to ride his bike to the beach with Michael when they were 13. Daniel scoffs.

"Oh you mean when I started being shit and lost my job?" He asks with a hollow laugh. "When my whole life was falling apart? Yeah mate, sorry if I was a little less than gracious to you around that time."

You're being unfair, some traitourous niggle at the back of his brain tells him. Knows that 'less than gracious' doesn't even cover it, but- But fuck Michael. None of it stopped himself getting a cushy new job lined up, coming out on top while Daniel found himself fired at thirty-three.

Michael looks at him again, daring to look only halfway apologetic.

"I wasn't your punching bag," He says firmly, like he's already found his second wind. Like he can read Daniel's mind, and after years spent in each other's pockets, he probably can. Can smell cracks in Daniel's resolve from a mile away, like some blood sniffing shark.

I know you, Daniel finds himself wanting to yell, though it wouldn't even make any sense.

Not today. Daniel isn't that guy anymore.

"No, you were my friend," he says, giving the wall next to him two hard slaps with the palm of his hand. "But fuck me I guess, for needing you. Won't make that mistake again."

#the hold grime had on 18 yr old me is unmatched #i'd have risked it all to be JMEs gf lol #anyway i hope someone likes this #even though it is not our usual scheduled programming:)#fic

for the otp meme: 2, 10 and 32 for skwistok ofc :3

No way! Skwistok?? That's not really a ship I think about 🤭

2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

I think Toki specifically had to get used to Skwisgaar's insane sleeping schedule. Like sometimes the guy is dead in the middle of the day, and sometimes he's fully awake at 4 am working on some riff. And no, he won't accept suggestions about fixing it. So Toki learns to sleep over the racket. Skwisgaar does have the nerve to try to wake him up to ask for his opinion sometimes. Toki likes to get back at him by painting his face when he's asleep and other not PG rated things-

Also, and we're already talked about this, but addict-to-cuddling Skwisgaar forcing Toki to stay on the bed for a few more because he's wrapped around Toki. Not that Toki minds, it's a great excuse to not go to practice-

10. What are some non-sexual activities they do together?

Toki likes to make Skwisgaar participate in his tea parties with his plushies/toys. This ties with the previous question, where Toki awakes Skwisgaar to make him play with him. Skwisgaar is half conscious holding a cup of tea and letting Toki manhandle him like a puppet. He keeps dozing in and out while Toki gives him a new hairstyle and outfit because Skwisgaar is 'De Brutals Guitarsist Princess of Heavy Metals Kingdoms'.

Because of a certain fic that changed my brain chemistry, I like the idea of Skwisgaar and Toki having a side project together, so there's that too. Toki actually rising to the challenge of being Skwisgaar's musical counterpart. Rehearsals being both challenging but actually fun for the both of them. This is peak Skwistok to me.

I also love them doing mundane things like watching movies together, but not Hollywood type of stuff or blockbusters. B movies, european cinema, cult horror, spaghetti western, silent films. I'm talking about Skwistok watching Battleship Potemkin unironically. I'm talking about Skwistok exploring Béla Tarr's filmography. I'm talking about Skwistok studying the American lifestyle through the lens of Harmony Korine's work. "Are you fucking insane?" Yes, next question.

32. How do they resolve their arguments?

They usually stay away from each other until they calm down. Toki doesn't really mind apologizing after the matter, but it's a bit harder for Skwisgaar, who tends to believe he's always right. So Toki has learned to wait for Skwisgaar to come to him first, because that means he's ready to make amends, rather than just let Toki carry all the blame. He usually walks up to Toki's room and knocks twice, his head hanging low and his eyes on the floor. Skwisgaar ironically takes arguments the hardest because of Bookklok so, when they've finished talking, Toki raises his arms and Skwisgaar jumps into them. Just a big kitty looking for assurance that everything is alright

hello!!! I'd like to request some hcs for my believed Ayatsuji Yukito with a gn!reader who's not very good in things related to calculations, chem and all that but very well versed in creatives fields? like plays instruments, draws a lot and knows a lot of literary references :D thank u sm and have a nice day keke

Helloooooo!!! Reader is kind of like me; while calculations and chemistry and anything to do with maths is doable, I'm actually more of a creative person lmao.

The image used is not mine. It belongs to it's original owner.

TW: None

Ayatsuji with a GN!S/O who is well versed in creative fields

-Okay, well Ayatsuji teased you a lot at first about maths, science, just anything in that field which requires the left side of the brain

-Like he knows that he's smarter than most people, but he's never met a person who couldn't find the integral of 1/2x^2. Sometimes he wonders if he should get a tutor for you

-But one day you actually helped him solve a case, despite his impressions of you. Ayatsuji was ready to tear his hair out because he just couldn't get an impression of the perpetrator, but you actually managed to draw a very vivid and accurate picture of the perpetrator according to the witness's descriptions and clues

-This caused Ayatsuji to think twice of you. You'll find that after a little while, he would start asking you for your help on his cases. Your drawings were always accurate and never failed to help him catch the murderer. It wasn't long before he fell for your creative side

-When you two got into a relationship, he was curious about your creativeness, and often asked you about your hobbies. I feel like Ayatsuji is one to appreciate art and artistic talents, but he's never had that much time to admire art in general because of his occupation

-Play some pieces for him on your instruments! Doesn't matter if it's a Bach fugue or a nocturne by Chopin, Ayatsuji will love it, because he seems like the type to like classical music as it's more complex and fun to analyse. He likes listening to you play in silence, while sipping a coffee or gazing at the sunset. You even offered to teach him how to play your instruments, and he took you up on your offer, but he still prefers listening to you play

-I feel like Ayatsuji finds the trait of using literary references in appropriate places attractive. Like it makes the person seem more fancy and sophisticated, and he definitely likes people like that. So he might even have a battle of literary references with you sometimes just to see how much you knew actually he does that because he thinks your smexy when you’re saying them

-Also likes to look at your drawings when you’re done with them. Now he will actually critique them a bit, but he mostly praises you and tells you what a good job you’ve done. You drew him once and now Ayatsuji treasures that drawing forever

-Since you’re creative, Ayatsuji is so going to make dolls with you. Now you actually add some extra decorations and style to the dolls that you create, and it’s a fresh contrast to the usual dolls that are stored in his basement. He loves your creativeness when it comes to dolls, and he shows it to nobody else apart from himself

-Now he will actually try to teach you math, science, physics, just anything that needs logic to figure the answer out. While he will still tease you every now and then, he’ll be chill and find out how you learn the best. Also gives you breaks when he sees your brain about to explode from all the calculations

-Your strengths fit with his perfectly; him being logical and you being creative. With this mix, no criminal dares to go up against you two now. Talk about a soft power couple, am I right?

-You two are Tsujimura’s OTP and she is already making all the wedding cards and organisation for your marriage with Ayatsuji already invite me please

@pixyys @pianotross @nekokinax @i-just-like-goats @xxelfmamaxx @yuugen-benni @yukitomybeloved @sariel626 @lakeside-paradise @arisu-chan4646 @catzlivedforbsd

Imagine your OTP where both partners want to surprise the other one with a wonderful date but all of their cleverly thought-out plans fail and it looks like this is going to go down in history as the worst Valentine’s Day ever. + if it’s actually not that bad in the end /Jayla

Kayla looked over her gathered supplies, ticking each one off in her mind-citronella candles, blanket, basket, food, sunscreen. Everything was there, ready for an amazing picnic with Julie to celebrate their first Valentine's Day together.

They had both agreed not to plan anything, as everything would be crazy and booked, and a quiet night was all they needed.

"Why celebrate our relationship only on special days?" Julie had asked.

But Kayla had always been a romantic so she couldn't not do anything. She figured a nice picnic was a great date and special since it wasn't something they did often.

Unfortunately, Julie was not home yet. She had gone out this morning to help Flynn get ready for her date with Carrie-a date which Kayla knew they were both planning on proposing on. But she had expected Julie back long before now.

"I'm home!" Julie said, finally entering the house a half hour later. "Sorry, Flynn lost the ring and then Bobby lost Carrie, and it was a whole thing. You look nice."

"Thanks," Kayla replied, accepting a kiss. "Go get ready, we have lunch plans."

"I thought we were just staying home?" Julie asked, a nervous expression on her face.

Kayla shrugged. "Figured I should put in some effort. Nothing fancy, but a nice lunch, just the two of us."

"That sounds nice," Julie replied. "Be back in two shakes."

"One... two..." Kayla drawled as Julie raced to their bedroom, earning her a glare. Though soon enough Julie was back in a nice sundress, her hair flowing freely. Kayla spun her around with an exaggerated whistle, then grabbed her horde of stuff and lead them towards the car.

The park was a little more crowded than Kayla had counted on, but she managed to find them a spot under a large maple tree, setting out the blankets and candles before instructing Julie to sit, laying out the food.

"This is delicious," Julie said, digging into her container of salad. "Hope the ants stay away."

"That's what the candles are for," Kayla replied, peeling her clementine and popping a segment into her mouth.

No sooner had she said that, but an errant ball hit one of the candles, knocking it over, the flame catching the edge of the blanket and the picnic basket. Kayla swore, stomping out the flame and dumping her water bottle over the rest.

"Well fuck," Kayla grumbled. "Guess I'm not getting my deposit back."

"It's okay, we have plenty of food left," Julie assured her.

Kayla nodded, but mourned the now ruined cupcakes she had in the basket. There were more at home, but these ones had the perfect little love hearts on top and now they were a mushy pile of melted sugar and boot prints.

"Hey, you wanna dance?" Julie asked as they finished their food. There was a guy playing guitar nearby, giving them the prefect soundtrack.

Kayla grinned, and pulled her up, the two of them swaying with shared smiles as the songs progressed from soft to boisterous. Even after the playing ended, they still danced, though Julie glanced off to the side where her phone was blinking with messages on the blanket.

"You waiting for Flynn to text?" Kayla asked.

Julie murmured her agreement then shook herself. "Yeah, sorry. A little distracted." She kissed Kayla then; a sweet, lingering thing. "I'm all yours."

Kayla was about to reply when the heavens opened up, soaking them both in a deluge of rain. They had been so wrapped up in each other that they hadn't noticed the gathering rain clouds and darkened sky. They dashed for the shelter of the tree, but it didn't offer much protection. So they threw the blanket over themselves, gathered up their things and ran off to the car.

"Well that was a bust," Kayla said, biting back a giggle at their waterlogged appearances.

"I dunno, up until the rain, it was okay," Julie replied, but then shivered. "How about we head home and dry off?"

Back home in dry clothes, hair wrapped in towels, they ventured into the kitchen where Kayla found a plate of ceviche waiting for them.

"Tia?" she asked.

Julie's shoulders slumped. "Yeah, I asked her to whip up something for us for tonight, that was the other half of the messages on my phone. There's arroz con pollo and pastales in the fridge to warm up. She just left, so this should be fine to eat."

Kayla had never eaten ceviche before, but found it was pretty good, liking the bite of the citrus and fish together. However, a few bites in, she started feeling itchy.

"Jewel, what's in this?" she asked.

"I made sure to buy the good imitation stuff, why?" Julie asked, then gave a little sneeze, then another. "Stupid rain."

"I think your aunt might have used real shrimp," Kayla replied, already feeling the swelling and hives. "Benadryl please."

"You need your EpiPen?" Julie asked, rushing to get the pills.

Kayla shook her head, swallowing the pills. "Nah, that's only for nuts. Shellfish is uncomfortable, but not deadly."

Julie nodded, biting her bottom lip. "I am going to be having a talk with tia later, I swear she knows you're allergic!"

"Hey hey, it's okay," Kayla assured her. "But maybe go get the calamine lotion so I don't scratch my skin off?"

Julie nodded, then let out a litany of sneezes before rushing off.

So they ended their night with Julie sneezing and sniffling up a storm, Kayla swollen and itchy, and demolished cupcakes littering the table.

"Some Valentine's Day huh?" Julie asked, clutching the box of tissues to her.

"A banner one that's for sure," Kayla replied, popping another allergy pill. "Though I mean, we had two nice meals, if we ignore the one that caused all this."

"We got to dance," Julie added. "Even if the rain had other plans."

"And we spent it together, which is the most important part," Kayla concluded. Julie grinned, leaning in to kiss her cheek. Or whatever part of her face wasn't broken out without giving Kayla the cold she had developed.

"Maybe next year we go to a restaurant anyways?" Julie suggested with a giggle.

"Definitely," Kayla replied with a laugh, and snuggled into Julie as much as she could, reaching for another cupcake for them to share as the both of them squealed when Flynn finally texted them both, showcasing a picture of her and Carrie wearing engagement rings and promising to tell them the story tomorrow.

And Kayla resolved to make sure when it was their turn to get engaged... she got Flynn to plan it all.

I LOOVEE THE NEW PINTEREST BOARDS FOR FBW STYLE

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! this ask made me so so excited!

because tbh, i wasn't sure...anyone really Cared? about the pinterest boards ( which i was Wrong about, btw! i do actually get a lot of asks about them -- those thrill me so much! ) but specifically about my weird ncu tfbw!style that, ok, so we don't get confused, bc all my ships are technically my stylized styles: og style = pep!style, rm!style is ravesey and tfbw!austyle gets to be...kiteshed? i guess? idk guys!

-- but i digress, i only kept those boards on the ncu pinterest...

( which is linked right here! btw, to the other anon in my box, i know the smile pendejo pins are down horrendous, i'm so sorry omg )

...as bonus for all of you ( that, again, i wasn't sure anyone really cared or was interested but just in case ) and because i had a lot of muse for it, so i was using those boards to develop my tfbw lore and its specific style which...is coming along really well, i think! <333

for ease of access, here is a link to toolstan's board and here is the link to kitekyle's board. i am also going to link you two important posts that i made while troubleshooting the ncu tfbw, this one right here is mostly about toolshed/tfbw ncu stan, is very kyshed heavy and features a lot about the superhero group/regular dynamics.

whereas this post is mostly about human kite kyle, is very stankite heavy and goes into a lot about the insidious underworkings of the plot, the reactions to mutations, the consequences of ignorance.

tbh friend, i actually only didn't make an main ncuniverse rpg/ff board for them because i haven't named it yet? it's working title is project mephesto, i was also thinking about the mephesto manifesto, operation mephesto...i'll try n explain: if this is lame, pls don't boo me.

so the mephesto portion being so crucial to the fanfic name is bc the whole fucked up hub of the tfbw universe i crafted is centered around a totalitarian dictator-type dr. mephesto who runs mephesto labs, a mutant 'rehabilitation' center which operates very surreptitiously and suspiciously ( especially in turns of O.K :) or...Operation Kevin. )

tldr: the fbw ncuniverse is basically a big scifi, supernatural, super-powered, nonhuman species xenophobic, dystopian fauxciety run by a totalitarian regime thats spearheaded/heavily propagandized by...

the intelligent, the incontestable, and deeply diabolically detestable,

dr. alphonse mephesto. ;)

*evil scifi music* dun dun DUUUUUUUN~

i got sidetracked, sorry! but i am so glad you are enjoying the boards! i am going possibly start up a ff/main board for project mephesto or idk operation kevin or Everything Is Going To Be O.K :) -- thats the evil slogan mayhaps? & maybe make kiteshed an otp board?

WHICH EVERY SECTION IS GONNA BE COMPLICATED BC OF THE LOVE RECTANGLE bc of kyle/stan, kite/shed, ky(le)/shed, stan/kite smh. i love the love rectangle so much it is giving very much miraculous lady bug if it was gayer and really fucked up & upsetting uGH....i love it but its such a doomed disaster, smhhh. </33 rip :'((

i will say that i'm not sure if i'm ready to make it a full rpg ( just bc it would involve so many side characters bc of the fp/r&c and you guys see how i'm coping w/ having to incorporate/thoughtfully create backstories/lore all of them into rm...very badly ) but i am thinking of writing some one shots for them to get that muse out there. <333

i thot abt specifically doing one where kyle rings toolshed on the beeper he gave them in case kyle is in trouble -- and kyle ringing it for stupid stuff just to see shed and oggle him ( i get it kyle but smh )

or like alien!kite taking who they think is their human stan ( does not know stan is shed/is mutated ) down to the mutant undercity where none of the heavily mutated/banished people trust him...but then stan rizzes all the undercitizens by absolutely clearing and devouring their weird scary alien slime food and winning the crazy and intense mutant glorg drinking contest and being able to drink so much of it as a human?? that every1 was impressed by him n want 2 keep him smh all the mutant people are like i like that lil human boy, kyte :) <3

[ sidebar shoutout to that one tweet i made where i was talking abt stan kissing alien!form!kite w/ tongue ;) and kyte gasping and pulling away all like What Human Mouth Sorcery Did You Just To Do Me??? and yes stan thought it was cute omg liv laff luv ur secret alien bf xx ]

speaking of love, i <3 sleep deprieved (p)ath(l)etic but ripped asf tall blonde hair wasian superhero, secretly mutated, late nite fast-food takeout delivery boy moped/moShed 'gearshift' full time vet-tech student, part time mechanic, part time football college scholarship quaterback stan and secret alien kyle with the gigantic red-ginger fro and the cool blue skin, white freckle white hair alien form who is confused abt human customs and being brainwashed into their villian arc bc if you cannot be loved, you can be feared right? AAAA

also pls note: art history philosophy major kyle trying to draw things they remember abt shed bc the disguise technology makes it hard to know what he really looks like & stan being confused abt developing a crush on h.k. bc Thats My Nemesis but also waah theyre cute???

WERE IN HELL AGAIN MY FRIENDS! WHATS NEW! ask me any questions you want about my ncu style or the universe, i seriously have so much to say about it and i am obsessed with it help!!!!!

-UNCLE NINA FERAL ABOUT THE TFBW UNIVERSE I CREATED

#i am...literally obsessed with the ncu tfbw world and style love rectangle they are my heroes...and villians if u will #kyle is antihero he is miunderstood!#if ur society hated u and wanted u dead ud be a villian too ok? evil is created evil is not born #i am so passionate abt them i love them so bad theyre so iconic my angels omg #human stan bodying all the alien customs and being the undercities special token human boy #and kyle being very gently heartwarmed by it #i love it here #kyle talking about stan to shed and telling shed they spent 5ever in love with stan but its ok bc now 'i have you shed' <333 #STAN SCREAMING CRYING AND THROWING UP LIKE HAHAHA YEP HAHA FUCK THIS IS SO FUN #amazing

If you're still doing them, how about top 5 MagiReco OTPs/NOTPs

Ah, it's hard to choose just 5 for the top of my list...! There are a number of ships I really like; I feel like I'm excluding some of my favorite children, haha. These are the ones I think about the most often, though.

5. Urara/Kurara: There's something really sweet about how Urara has seen Kurara at her worst and still loves her unconditionally. ;; On Kurara's end, it's more bittersweet-- she's painfully aware of how much Urara adores her in spite of how nasty and temperamental she can be, and it rips her apart inside because she doesn't feel like she deserves to be loved like that. I will withhold the "kurara loves urara too" essay for now for brevity's sake, but MAN Kurara loves Urara too!! She loves her so much that it's tearing both of them down!!!! RRAAAAGGGHFGDH it's too good......

I find it so cute that Urara refuses to give up on Kurara, even after they had such an ugly breakup. She knows that she messed things up by accidentally being insensitive, but she also knows that Kurara has issues of her own that she needs to sort out. In Urara's Kagome interview, she's like, sure, maybe things are bad right now... but people can change with time, you know? Maybe in a few years, they'll have grown enough emotionally that they'll be ready to make amends and give it another shot. I'm rooting for you, world's most patient clown. o7

Urakura can cover every base from fluff (remember, they used to be best friends!) to angst to hurt/comfort, making it very versatile and engaging to me. Combine that with the trope of "I love you no matter what, and I'll be here for you even on your worst days" (my weakness), and I never stood a chance.

4. Hikaru/Ao: My first Arc 2 ship, and still one of my favorites today! I remember seeing cute fanart for it way back when I first started playing the NA server and being super excited for the game to get to Crimson Resolve so I could learn more about them. :') While NA may have died before then, I am infinitely grateful that fan-translations mean I got to see these two anyway! (thank you hebinomiya and MUT for my life)

To explain a bit about why I like them, hm... They've got a nice dynamic in general! It's on the fluffier side without being bland, I think. Ao is playful in a way that feels a bit distant at first, but slowly opens up and starts to trust Hikaru more (a big milestone for how traumatized Ao is), while Hikaru gets a hit or miss crash course in Making Her Own Decisions. It's also interesting to contrast their individual ways of distancing themselves from their suffering (Ao trying to treat life like a game; Hikaru leaning hard into her role of "the Horse"), especially since they've both criticized the other for... doing almost exactly what they're doing themselves.

The way Hikaru tries to comfort Ao when she's scared or sad is cute, even if she doesn't know how to go about it. While Hikaru is largely numb to having to kill people at this point (wow, that's not depressing at all), she knows Ao isn't, and she gets worried when it seems like Ao is in over her head. Hikaru was the first person to worry about Ao after she accidentally killed Ryou, and when Ao seemed out of sorts in her MSS, Hikaru was the first person to seek her out. It plays nicely with Hikaru's struggle with agency as well-- she wants to help Ao, but she doesn't know where to start because she lacks experience and the ability to think for herself; she's caught between her personal desires (supporting a friend) vs. her duty to Promised Blood's goals; things like that.

As an added bonus, their designs compliment each other very nicely. Blue and orange is a solid combo. :> (And for one minor thing, I love that Ao has a swimsuit line where she's self-conscious about being a little pudgy, and then Hikaru has a swimsuit line where she says she thinks Ao is really cute. Tsuchinoko Real)

3. San/Miyuri: f4 could not have tailored a ship more closely to my interests if they tried. It's a little embarrassing... listen, you can't have san say "when she loses consciousness, she becomes my doll" and not expect me to think there's something going on These two pushed Neo-Magius from "kinda neat" to being my second-favorite faction. They're perfect as individual characters, and even better together; I adore the way they play off of each other. The way they want the best for the other and try to nudge each other towards success, even if that means enabling unhealthy thought patterns or behaviors and inadvertently strangling the other's personal growth, is fantastic.

And, of course, the lighter parts of their dynamic are just as good!! It's readily obvious how much Miyu loves San, but San loves Miyu too; she's just more subdued about showing people she cares for them. I think sometimes people forget how sad San was when Miyu started avoiding her out of guilt-- while it might not have been the same type of instant affection that Miyu felt towards San (at least until she saw Miyu dancing by herself and blushed over how pretty she was), San had very quickly gotten attached to Miyu as her baby, and was devastated to think that she might've lost her so soon.

They're more alike than they seem at first glance, and I think that's part of what makes their bond so strong-- San sees her old self in Miyu, and wants to watch her improve; Miyu sees herself in who San used to be, and admires that someone so timid can grow up to be so outwardly brave and capable. The whole thing is so sweet to me... ;;

... I might also mention that my headcanons for them help boost this up on my list, aha. I picture San as being very tall and broad-shouldered, and Miyu as a tiny little thing who could blow away in a strong breeze, which makes for a cute contrast. :')

2. Juri/Yuna: Oh man, where do I start? Everything about this ship is just perfect to me. I don't care whether they're friends, enemies, lovers, or what as long as they're together; their dynamic is flawless in every way. I'm stoked that they finally got a dual unit! ;_;

I am SO weak for the way Yuna cares about Juri. The gang wars could've been solved or prevented if Yuna had killed Juri before the situation got too bad, but she didn't want to do that. Yuna was so determined to leave Juri alive that she orchestrated that whole big fight in the first half of CR specifically to bring Juri down without killing her. It's not something that Yuna is proud of, but the fact that she manipulated a bunch of other girls (which unfortunately resulted in some casualties) because she loved this one particular loose cannon too much to kill her... man. Devotion.

Yuna is incredibly patient and understanding with Juri in general, which is extra cute to me because almost nobody else is. She knows Juri isn't a bad person, just struggling with mental illness and shitty circumstances, and no matter how Juri feels about herself, Yuna still loves her and wants her around. Not for her strength or holding Ryuugasaki together, but because Yuna cares for her as a friend. It's so... [clenches fist] AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)

It's readily apparent how much this acceptance means to Juri, too. She used to rely heavily on Yuna for venting her stress since not only could Yuna go toe-to-toe with her in a fight (and willingly does so), she doesn't resent or demonize Juri for being the way she is. Even when Juri was hellbent on defeating Yuna in CR, she's greatly upset when she thinks that she might've actually killed her (or in the bad end where Juri does kill Yuna). For all of the animosity they held towards each other, they need each other; they don't honestly want the other to die. (Not alone, at least-- the scene where Yuna stops Juri from killing herself has an undercurrent of "how dare you try to leave without me", given that Yuna was also suicidal at the time.)

I am, as you can tell from this list, very weak for ride-or-die loyalty (or dubiously healthy attachment; take your pick), and juriyuna delivers that in spades, with all of the dressings and extras I like. Yuna's refined, serious, thoughtful personality and Juri's rowdy, aggressive, playful personality bounce off of each other in ways that are always enjoyable to see, whether it's something heavier like CR or fluffy like the Please, Yuna-san event. Top quality ship.

1. Bat/Ranka: "hmm, what if..." ← me haplessly coming up with an idea while reading CR for the first time 3 years ago, about to inflict an unbreakable curse upon myself

If I had to pick a number-one favorite ship in the series, it would be this. I am trapped in a hell of my own creation... We don't see much of their dynamic outside of CR or Ao's MSS (though Ranka does talk about the Bat elsewhere), and we've hardly gotten any of their relationship from the Bat's point of view, but that just means I can have a field day reading between the lines and piecing together a story from the scraps we do get. Enrichment!!

Ranka's "I need someone strong to follow or I'll die because I can't survive by myself" vs. the Bat's "I need someone prey on or I'll die because I can't survive by myself" is a great parallel that makes for a unique flavor of codependency. Sort of a "marionette and puppeteer" dynamic, I guess? Whatever you call it, it's 100% my brand; I go nuts for this stuff.

On Ranka's end, she knows that this relationship is unhealthy, but she keeps coming back anyway. Some of it is that she sees herself as too weak (physically and mentally) to make it on her own, so she clings to the Bat because being treated badly is better than being dead or alone. Some of it is probably that she sees herself as an awful person, and feels that she "deserves" to be hurt like this as punishment for how spineless she is (a feeling that compounds itself with every horrible thing the Bat makes her do).

It's a form of self-harm, in a way-- but even so, their relationship isn't always bad. The Bat liked Ranka enough to appoint her as her second-in-command, and for what it's worth, she did protect Ranka from the Futatsugi gang wars. She didn't take any issues with Ranka's abrasive, badmouthed personality, either! In fact, the Bat must've liked that about Ranka if she chose to keep her so close, haha. (And this is headcanon territory, but since Monzenbashi's base was an abandoned arcade, I have to figure that they shared an interest in old video games as well.)

In the end, Ranka is left in a thorny position where she hates what she has to go through, but can't bring herself to leave. After all, they have their good moments. The Bat loves her, probably. If she left, she'd be free from the abuse, but she'd lose the sense of safety and familiarity that the Bat gives her. That sort of struggle is super interesting to me-- I really like how this ship explores how loving and hating someone isn't necessarily a cut-and-dry thing.

On the Bat's end, while she does know that what she's doing is wrong, she adamantly believes that she needs to exploit others or she'll be the one to get exploited herself. She's a selfish coward who chews up the weak for personal gain and spits them out when she's through with them, viewing everyone else as either a threat to be disposed of or a tool to be used... and yet, despite all of this, she's shown to genuinely care for Ranka.

I am constantly thinking about the Ao-Ranka fight in CR where the Bat jumped to Ranka's defense, saying that she's going to kill Ao herself if Ranka is going to let herself get hurt like this. The Bat- the girl who gets a sick thrill out of torturing the helpless, who's too paranoid to trust anyone- loves Ranka enough that it made her angry to watch her get hurt. For as cruel and "save myself and fuck the rest" as she is, she has one person she wants to protect.

Something about the way the Bat wants to keep Ranka safe while also treating her like a pawn; hating the thought of losing her, but afraid of letting her get too close... fuckinf!!! Good Shit!!!!! Mix that in with Ranka's conflicting feelings about the Bat and I have a dumpster fire that will keep me warm for years.

I could be delusional (this ship is largely in my head), but it feels like a pretty realistic portrayal of an abusive relationship to me. There are all kinds of things to dig into here, from how it could get worse to how it could get better, and I just... auuuuggghhfhfh MAN im going to fling myself into the sun i love them so MUCH

(bottom 5 under the cut, both for negativity and because this is already super long)

If anyone's OTP is on this list, I apologize-- please know that none of these are a moral judgement or anything! 99% of my NOTPs are just ships I find annoying for one reason or another. It's nothing personal.

5. Rika/Ren: Truly the plain dry cornflakes of the magireco ship world. It's so Generic Yuri Manga that it manages to be frustrating in its lack of substance. I understand that it's one of the most popular ships (if not the most popular ship) in the fandom, but I'm gonna have to pass. :{

4. Ao/Ranka: Do you ever have a ship that bugs you, but you can't put your finger on why? This is one of those for me. Which is weird, because I am very much a multishipper when it comes to Promised Blood! And I adore the way that Ao and Ranka's relationship is written in canon! They have a really rich dynamic; I love watching them make that awkward, gradual shift from enemies to friends, where they clearly want to be closer but also don't quite know how to feel about each other. As a romantic ship, though... Eh. I've tried reading fics and stuff for them, but it's just not my thing.

3. Tsukuyo/Tsukasa/anyone: There isn't a single character who doesn't feel like a third wheel here. Sure, the twins might love her, but not as much as they love each other; she will always sort of be on the outside looking in. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa are so deeply, unshakeably intertwined that I don't even like shipping them monogamously with other characters (a singular exception being that I have a passive appreciation for Kanagi/Tsukasa), so adding a third girl to the mix is out of the question by default.

Yukika is probably the worst offender in terms of third wheel-ness because of her "Akatsuki-senpai" thing, but Amanes/Mifuyu wins the general awkwardness category by virtue of giving me the unfortunate impression of a mistress to a married couple. I tried reading various OT3 fics with the Amanes to see if I'd warm up to the idea, I did, but... it's regular amanecest or bust for me.

2. Kuroda/Asahi: it's not even about the abuse and general assholery on kuroda's end (heavy drama can be interesting with the right framework) it's that the idea of shipping asahi with a dude gives me hives

1. Himena/Hiko: het ship allergy strikes again, im sorry 😔 Sometimes I feel kinda dumb for this one because I know I'd probably like it if Hiko was a girl, but alas. Not only do I have negative interest in M/F, Hiko is the most boring self-insert-looking nerd guy they possibly could've designed. Ungh. (himena is a fun, fascinating character, i like her a lot, but the depths of my distaste mean that whenever a scene comes up where himena talks to/about hiko, i subconsciously overwrite it with "hiko is a girl" or "hiko is imaginary" to make it more palatable to me orz)

Plus the "unpopular boy gets bullied for dating popular girl" plotline feels super contrived to me-- while my experiences are obviously not universal, I usually find that unpopular guys get boosted up the social ladder if they manage to land a date with a popular girl. The whole "forbidden love" trope needs to be done in a very particular way in M/F ships in order for me to not find it stupid, and this one doesn't hit the mark.

... and this is a silly thing to be annoyed by, but it really does grate on me that whenever you ship Himena with a different character, there's an 85% chance that at least one person will come along like "what about hiko?" or "poor hiko" or "ot3 with hiko!" or whatever. Even if you specify that you've written Hiko out of Himena's head in some way or another (got his own body again, never existed in the first place, etc.), someone will make him the focal point regardless. It's happened to me, and it's happened to a few other people I've seen. :'| Frustrating to see an interesting comment on himesasha or w/e get derailed into "but himehiko!!", as if everything Needs to revolve around this one singular boy.

#sorry for taking forever to answer this ;; but here you go!#if i were to be completely honest #i probably would've squeaked in ''kanagi/that one black feather from her intro scene'' into top 5 #but that's so deep into canon/NPC territory that it's embarrassing to talk about #not because it's cringey or anything; it's just very personal because i've been cultivating it for almost 4 years now lmao #7 billion little WIP fic drafts/snippets/ideas that i may never finish but have fun playing with regardless #magia record #long post #hc post #asks #there are a lot of ships i dislike but most of them involve characters i don't care about #(or characters i dislike in general so it doesn't matter who they're shipped with; i'd hate it anyway)#so idk if they'd qualify as NOTPs

Elena of Avalor 3 and 13

and if it’s ok (if not you don’t have to answer) I have my own question. What is your favorite Elena and Esteban moment together?

3. Favourite OTP scene?

*Nervous Laughter.* Ummm...I really really like the scene that visually and thematically referenced a key moment from Beauty and the Beast (1991). And that's all I'm gonna say on that. If you know, you know.

13. Favorite quote from the series?

"We may not be able to change the past, but if we change ourselves, we have the power to change the future."

^Not really sure if this actually my favorite quote or just the one that is hitting hardest for me now. Because I just watched THAT scene from "Coronation Day" multiple times in a row and they're hitting me with all the feels right now.

Bonus: What is your favorite Elena and Esteban moment together?

Esteban's heroic sacrifice and Elena's restoring him to life with the power of Forgiveness™. The music, the writing, the voice acting, the animation (especially the animation tbh)--just everything about that sequence is *chef's kiss.*

The fact that Esteban's just chilling on the throne, but can somehow sense Elena's thwarted "blaze" spell (crystal well psychic link?) and teleports to the balcony to investigate. The fear on his face turning toward resolve just before he slams his staff to the ground to teleport in front of the grain of sand. The apology he just barely gets out before he runs out of time. The fact that the last thing he does before turning to stone is to reach out to her.

The way it takes her a moment to realize what's happening and her face cycles between confusion, horror, and finally sorrow. The way she cradles his stone face in her hands as a single tear falls slowly down her face. The quiet "I forgive you" accompanied by her curling into him and trying as best she can to embrace him.

The silver-white sparkles gradually surrounding her, transforming her dress (unrelated but white is also a very very pretty color on her in general and even prettier in this context given both the lighting and the emotional resonance). And her emotion magic spreads out and starts disintegrating the stone tablet. The way her eyes widen when she realizes that he's not gone; that her magic has saved him--just as his magic saved her.

The fact that when he emerges from his stone prison, he stumbles and ends up on his knees -just as he's fallen countless times (metaphorically and sometimes literally) over the past 45 years. Only this time she is there with hands reaching out to help him to his feet.

"Forgiveness, it's more powerful than anything I've ever felt."

Elena's emotion magic rippling out and restoring not just Esteban but everyone who has been impacted by the Shades' magic. The gray skies suddenly being replaced by bright sunlight.

Esteban grabbing Elena's scepter and being ready to throw it to her, only to have it start glowing in his hand. Elena giving him permission to use it. Esteban casting "blaze"--the first spell that Elena cast with it and the very spell she used to defeat Shuriki once and for all--to shatter Cahu's hourglass and metaphorically free himself from the Time that had trapped him for over four decades.

Elena reaching for Esteban's staff--ready to borrow his power as he had just borrowed hers in order to drag Cahu to the Spirit World. Him cautioning her not to use the scepter, because he knows its limits. The two of them agreeing to try using their powers together.

Elena literally saying "Your time is up," because even at a moment this important, she can't resist making a pun. The matching little chaotic gremlin faces just before Elena and Esteban use the staff + scepter combo and disappear off the Spirit World with Cahu.

(It was at this moment that Cahu knew she was truly, irrevocably fucked.)

Elena's test having been Esteban all all along. Esteban promising to spend the rest of his life making up for what he has done. Esteban finally handing the scepter back to Elena, only to have her jump on him and wrap her arms around him. The HUG.

Esteban finally standing back where he belongs with his family and their friends. Isa is right in front of him and we see Francisco put a hand around his grandson's shoulder as the scene fades to black.

It's all just...

#elena of avalor #ask memes #it feels like they made this scene specifically for ME #and I thank them for it #elena castillo flores #esteban flores #estebalena #kinda but also not kinda #not even a little

Kaleidoscope

Year of the OTP December prompt.

Summary:

A group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope.

Dean and Cas had been together for some time, and for Christmas Dean leads Cas on a scavenger hunt, note by note, to lead them to their destination for ten days vacation.

Along the way, they revisit special places and moments, everything that has brought them closer together.

Cas always knew that Dean sometimes had trouble with words, but in the end, the right ones are said.

“Ready for the holidays, Clarence?” Meg asked, looking uncharacteristically soft and comfortable curled up on Cas’ couch with a mug of hot chocolate. She took a sip and frowned. “Seriously, no booze?!”

There she was. Cas hid a smile behind his own mug.

“We’re going gift shopping in half an hour, and in case you forgot, my car is in the shop,” Cas reminded her, and Meg rolled her eyes.

“Clarence, your car has one foot in its grave. Ken-doll just doesn't want to spoil your Christmas by telling you so, so he's dragging it out.”

It was Cas’ turn to roll his eyes, and he took a gulp of his hot chocolate even as he scrolled on his phone.

“The shop is an hour away. The manager is holding my order, and they close in two hours. Can we go soon?” he pleaded.

Meg smirked at him.

“Look at you, all organised about presents an’ shit. Something's got you in the Christmas spirit!”

Cas grinned, feeling his face heat. He drank another mouthful of hot chocolate, trying to hide his pink cheeks, but Meg snickered at him.

“Dean made plans for us. He hasn't said what we’re doing or anything, but I'm supposed to leave everything up to him.” He gnawed on his lower lip a little, unused to giving up the reins. “Maybe I should ask Sam if I need to do anything…”

“Leave it alone!” Meg ordered with a laugh. “Ken-doll might surprise you.”

Cas nearly dropped his cocoa in shock. Meg was pretty sparse on praise for or faith in Dean, so for her to even suggest Dean had a handle on things was wildly out of character. Cas narrowed his eyes at her.

“What do you know, Meg?” he demanded.

She winked at him, sipping her hot cocoa and not saying a word. He kept staring at her, cocking one eyebrow up in question, and she rolled her eyes again.

“I'm not Dean, Clarence,” she pointed out sarcastically. “The dombrow doesn't work on me.”

Read the rest on AO3.

Many thanks to @cr-noble-writes and Danni for the beta!

The very last bauble. The very last hangout. As we move towards the conclusion to it all, we've heard from Vivia about what he wants us to bear in mind. Now it's time to hear what guidance Yakou has to offer us.

Oh, okay, we're gonna give him a pep talk. Disappointing to the very end, aren't you?

Really. We're really going to spend the last hangout yet again shilling the OTP that remains mired in the exact same place it was in way back in the Chapter 2 rooftop epilogue?

The answer, Yakou, is that it's not. Things are not going. There's been lots of blushing and lots of awkward pauses but nobody has said or done a single thing yet because writers despise romance despite how hard they try to inject it into their stories.

Ooh, Yuma doesn't know but that is a painful question.

*spit take* NOT SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT, FUCKING HELL.

God fucking dammit man. Even if you're making it up, "I was so great at cheating, you wouldn't even BELIEVE" is a terrible thing to make up. It doesn't need to be true to reflect poorly on your values.

I'm going straight back to the homunculus testing site so I can push you dipshit ass off a cliff.

This is the worst final hango--

Why was that Fubuki's final conversation topic!? Ew ew ew ew DX

This is the second-worst final hangout!

...wait.

Hold up.

Is he talking about actual kittens?

Or that, I suppose. Still, the way he chose to play this up has caused my opinion of him to nonetheless sink lower. It's not about whether he did or did not "three- or four-time". It's about the fact that he considers the image he tried to sell to be an admirable presentation of masculinity in the first place.

"LOL It's so cute how they'd get jealous whenever they'd find out about my other girlfriends!" This kind of casual misogyny is exactly the kind of behavior that makes me loathe "guy talk". Men will take one look at you, see a kindred bro, and then proceed to say the grossest shit to you with absolutely no filter whatsoever.

Too late, damage already done. There is no salvaging your reputation from here.

Now we're getting to the meat of it. I expected Yakou to give a counterargument to Vivia, but they seem to be on the same page.

Vivia asks, "Is it always right to reveal a cruel truth?"

Yakou says, "You need to put Kurumi's wellbeing first."

These both feel like things that are going to be important for Yuma to carry with him in the final confrontation with Makoto. Which is why the two baubles were put here.

It's not, and I hate that you think that. This exact mindset, that men only exist for women and nothing else, is a major contributing factor to toxic masculinity.

This conversation must be, like, right before Chapter 5. Yakou's getting ready to carry out Huesca's murder. That's why he's trying to connect with Yuma like this.

Yakou Furiou. I didn't think very highly of him when I met him. But then I got to know him and see new sides to his personality. And through that journey, I was able to learn that I was overestimating him and adjust my opinion even lower.

I don't like Yakou on a personal level. I don't hold his drinking or his grief against him. He's a damaged man who's been through some trauma. But he's also a frequent obstacle who has gross opinions and mostly gets in the way.

Nonetheless, I still stand behind him 100% in the murder of Dr. Huesca. Like I said before, I'm not fond of Yakou the Detective but I adore Yakou the Murderer. That we were all able to pull together and carry off the Crime of the Century to avenge Yakou's wife and assassinate the most well-guarded man in Kanai Ward?

Yeah. I'm proud of that. We did it. Huesca isn't Yakou's victim. He's our victim. We made this happen for Yakou and I have no regrets about it. I'd kill Huesca again if Yuma would let me. Shove him over that railing and let him be a malfunctioning immortal in a pit at the bottom of the secret lab.

Yakou isn't someone I would want to hang out with for an evening. But I'm glad he found his closure, even if this was the only way he could.

Thor Odinson

tagged by : @beheworthy bc i would ALWAYS like 💖💖💖

Give me a fictional character and I will say:

Favorite thing about them: His big dumb hero's heart. His compassion. How much he loves his home, his people, his family, his beloved, his friends — how much he loves.

Least favorite thing about them: //stares pointedly at his inability to form meaningful connections because Thor is Not Allowed to be Not Okay (even when it's obvious and people he loves asks him to share his heart).

Three things I have in common with them:

I am, myself, an elder sibling!! And one whose younger brother was/is someone I am incredibly close to, care a great deal about — that entire drama is very close to home for me.

A passion bubble for friends and family that's, on occasion, close to the surface... but otherwise am chill 👍

and .... bunt out golden child syndrome vibes. Especially that vibe of "do it on your own and put on your leader face at all times, because all eyes are on you, good luck"

Three things I don’t have in common with them:

His ... overly reserved nature. I've been told I can be serious but I don't think I brood the way he does.

One day I will be nearly half as eloquent in my speech outside of writing 🙏

The way that Thor is able to just command a room???? Goals. Total goals. I'm either very good at directing conversations or shaky at it and I wish I had Thor's level of confidence.

Favorite line:

"i would rather be a good man than a great king."

OR ALTERNATIVELY.

"is that why everything's on fire~?"

BROTP: Brodinsons 100% . Then the entire warriors + sif squad dynamics! I'm forever sad we never got more of them all together. Then Heimdall, because Thor deserves positive mentor figures in his life. (and as far as the avengers proper go: Thor/Steve absolutely deserves more recognition they were the og duo as far as Age of Ultron is concerned and y'all , we've all been sleeping.)

OTP: Fosterson ! :D They're adorable star-crossed lovers, and he loves her very much. (and she feels the same for him !)

NOTP: if i see (1) more fan art of thorki in the thor tag i will scream. I guess also bruce/thor and valkyrie/thor exist ...??? I'm not really sure who Thor's exactly shipped with in the MCU besides Jane.

Random Headcanon: One time I considered the thought of little!Thor being exceptionally friendly with his kitchen staff servants, and because he's a strong little guy, he'd pick up giant barrels 3x his size and lug them around just because he wants to be helpful. And he'd do it with or without the prize of getting snuck goodies (though he would definitely prefer the goodies, were it up to him.)

Unpopular Opinion: I'm not sure if this counts as an unpopular opinion exactly, but I do always find it interesting that in the Frozen Vault Scene in Thor (2011), what the cinematography and editors show us that sets Thor off is seeing the dead einherjar...

And I'd actually say that this triggers his anger more than the interruption of his crowning ceremony.

So with that in mind, I'm not actually sure that (most of) his rage regarding the situation was about the coronation at all, in that case. At least, not in comparison to the fear he states (semi-subtextually) about being strong enough to maintain Asgard's borders were. ("They know you are vulnerable.")

He actually seems to only be upset about the coronation AFTER Odin makes it very clear he's decided to change his mind and rescind the crown from him entirely ... which only further fuels the point that Thor isn't ready. (aka: the one thing Thor is keenly aware of, scared of, and is scared the Frost Giants also know.) Which, you know, he's not at that point in time, but I don't see a lot of people talk about the details of that particular inciting incident all that much.

(honestly the ENTIRE text and subtext of the frozen vault scene absolutely FASCINATES ME so maybe I'll do a deep dive on it one day idk)

Song SONGS I associate with them: ... //looks at my 5-minutes-until-13 hr playlist uh...

Glowing, Boreas, and Rounds by The Oh Hellos

Plant Life, The Real World, and Bird with a Broken Wing by Owl City

No Sanctuary by UNSECRET (ft. Sam Tinnesz and Fleurie)

Afterglow and Places by Portrair

Paper and Ink (fosterson) and Everything Changes in Time (brodinsons) by Madds Buckley ... also Hoping on Another Life by Madds Buckley

Favorite picture of them:

//pulls out my entire dark world screenshots folder bc are you really going to make me choose, quirks, are you really going to make me choose

soft beautiful 🥺🥺🥺🥺 precious boy ... give me more of that poncho look tho thanks

Tagging: @darkwee009 for pinkie pie or for kirby ! :D whichever you'd like more, friend !!!

#(SENDS YOU KISSES 😘)#&&. whispers #&&. thor.#&&. | marvel. |#(also no no i am not ashamed of my 13 hour playlist for thor)#(yes you can absolutely ask for more song recs i have too many)#(And probably more on the way)

Hawwu could i request “9.Have I told you I love you today?” and 8.Imagine your OTP staying up until 3am playing video games together with Druig

A/N - HAWWU! Oh fun, this one will be nice and cute for you, dear friend! I hope you like it, and thanks for requesting!

High Score

Summary - You just moved into your apartment with your boyfriend Druig, and what's the first thing you do? Play your favorite video game of course!

Warnings - Just some tooth rotting fluff :)

"Alright, I'm gonna get you the next round!"

"You said that the last two times, babe,"

"But this time I mean it!"

You cracked your knuckles and leaned back against the wall, shifting on the mattress you were on as Druig was hitting the play button one more time for a new round on the video game console. As soon as it was time to play agains each other, you both were tapping away on the buttons and grinning like idiots. It was the almost chaotic really, since the only pieces of furniture that was in your living room was your mattress, the tv set, your Nintendo Switch console with the two controls, one very tiny loveseat and your record player.

It was beyond bare, but it was yours. Officially.

You and Druig moved in together after dating for 10 months, finding this apartment tucked away near the park and close to both of your jobs, so it was such a steal when you saw it advertised in the newspaper. You both were fresh into your Senior Year of college, having enough money to scrape together for the deposit and the first three months of rent, but both of your jobs were going to help out in your savings in the end.

You worked at the local newspaper, getting decent paychecks with your fluff pieces and articles on the college. Druig was over at the Philosophy Department as an Administrative Assistant, landing that job from having one of the Deans as a teacher one semesters. And when it came to the apartment, your mutual friend Kingo knew the Agent that was advertising the place, getting your guys an interview and even an leaser offer with a very slight discount.

In the end, you both moved in the very few pieces of furniture you had together, leaving the weekend for you two to snag a couch Ajak was going to give you and a dresser from Sersi and Ikaris. The rest was going to come from the Goodwill. You both were bone tired that night when you went shopping for food that will last a week, yet you both were giddy in excitement and wonder to what the future will hold.

Druig held you in his arms after the groceries was tucked away and the pizza was sitting on the floor, drinking in the bare white walls that were ready to be filled with pictures and art pieces. Even though you were beyond tired and could pass out on your mattress that was tucked in the corner of the small bedroom, you held onto Druig and felt him sneak in a few kisses along your hairline.

"Have I told you I love you today?" Druig asked you in a murmured, you grinning against his chest as you squeezed him a bit tighter. The mixture of sweat and his cologne was filling your nose and making you almost in a hypotonic daze.

"No, but I know you do," You reminded him, feeling him then lift your chin with his finger to lock eyes with you. You grinned widely at him, seeing him search your eyes as you both were still in a embrace. Finally, he leaned in to barely touch your lips with his, having you loose your breath.

"I love you," He breathed, pressing your lips together a few times.

With three bags of groceries in your trunk and a large cheese pizza in Druig's lap, you both sped home and took out the Nintendo Switch to play.

But that was at 8:00, and now it was nearly 3:00 am.

"Oh come on!" Druig huffed as you giggled, seeing your character winning another round. You just nudged Druig by the shoulder as he glared at the screen and rubbed his eyes, "You keep using that move!"

"What? It's not illegal, is it?" You challenged him as Druig rolled his eyes.

"How is it that you're so good at that?" Druig asked you with a tilt of his head. You just shrugged, then looking at your phone that was on your lap and your grimaced.

"Shit, it's 3 in the morning!" You gasped, Druig blinked a few times and looking at his watch.

"Oh it is, would ya look at that," Druig hummed in agreement. You looked around at your new bedroom, seeing how empty it seemed to be with your suitcase propped up against the wall where the dresser will be, and even picture a bookshelf or two there with Druig's desk he'll need.

It was sinking in, and you took a long breath.

There was no doubt you wanted to live with Druig since you both were serious and deeply in love. The rest of your friends and even your family knew it was going to be great you two being together, but with all the planning and prepping for this moment, it till felt....surreal. Now that reality was setting in, you had the rest of you're future right in front of you. Sure it was scary, but there was also excitement with it too.

"Hey, you good?" Druig asked as he kissed your clothed shoulder. Maybe he saw you were lost in your thoughts, but you seemed solid and grounded when you locked eyes with him. Druig wanted this as much as you wanted it, already exited to move in right away when you said yes. He made sure everything was in place when it came to signing the lease and getting the right pieces of furniture, the last thing he wanted for you was to be stressed. Druig claimed that since this was his idea and he asked you to move in with him, he would do most of planning and labor. With barely a spat with Kingo in the pricing and with the his boss in getting time off to move, Druig did amazing.

He was more than amazing, at least to you.

"I'm beyond good, honey," You replied, Druig grinning, "I think we're gonna do great with this whole, 'living together' thing,"

"Me too, sweetheart," Druig agreed, "And I think we should go to bed....after one more round,"

Within an instant, the tiredness was long gone as you both grabbed your controllers again.

"You're on!" You replied in glee. The sounds of your laughter bouncing off your new bedroom walls was heard as you were playing another round together in the early hours of the morning.

And on the anniversary of your moving in together, you would play your video together on your bedroom floor.

The End.
