love that Spock is completely incapable of admitting he likes Bones and will find literally any other "logical" explanation to explain it away and the thing is I cant even blame him because if he ever did admit to feeling anything at all towards Bones, Bones would immediately become the most insufferable man alive and he would make himself Spock's personal problem

a cowboy being secretly fond of you…

shares a book with you even though they can’t read

rides into town with you for an errand

bc they insist that they totally already have something to do there too!!

helps with your chores around camp (and sometimes beats you to it)

is extra protective during night outs at the saloon—leaning in to separate you from anyone too close or rowdy

gives you some of their stew rations because it’s your favourite today

lingers by the fire with you after everyone’s turned in

absentmindedly strums a sweet tune on their guitar while looking at you from afar

puts a small flower on your hat

packs an extra snack for you and your horse in your saddlebag before you head off

don't mind me - just some rainy day musings bc sweeney todd 2023 has rotted my brain

someone's tags on a gifset got me thinking about 2023 revival lovett and todd and the special something their dynamic has. there's something about this particular iteration of these characters and their relationship, especially as we see it evolve throughout the show (even as we've seen it evolve throughout the show's run), that just makes mrs lovett's betrayal and her death at his hands hit hard. i know, i know - she deserves it. she lies! she's a lying liar. her deceit is no small thing. any one of us would be incensed to have been misled the way she misleads sweeney. even if a small part of her may have done it, as she says, to spare him having to see what became of his lucy, the larger part was certainly to serve her own interests.

but there's something about how close mrs lovett gets to bringing sweeney around to her this time that just gets me carried away. they're not just business partners - they're lovers, they're co-conspirators, and they're sort of each other's only friend in the world. at this point, he indulges her flights of fancy. they know each other intimately. they joke with each other! he's likely had to listen to countless hours of her prattling on about her thoughts, hopes, and wishes. this is a man who, at this point in the show, is slitting people's throats without remorse. and yet he spends the evening on the sofa cleaning his pipe while he patiently listens to his girlfriend rave about a seaside wedding. when she takes his hand, he doesn't wrench himself from her grasp like he used to. he doesn't get up and walk out, which he could do. he accepts her - her presence, her company, her warmth. he may struggle to admit it to himself, but he does. he can concede that he loves her - just a little bit, though he can't quite bring himself to say the words. sweeney is fiercely loyal to lucy's memory, so much so that he clearly couldn't ever wholly give his heart to someone else, but, in that moment after "by the sea", you can see that he's softened toward lovett. they were both alone a long time before this, after all.

it's not the stuff of great love songs, but it's something. it's almost enough.

this is what ultimately makes the final living moments between them all the more heartbreaking. mrs lovett has always been a sympathetic character to me - a villain, sure, but not without her reasons. she's a woman alone in a brutal world. whether the character is an older or a younger iteration, she's been alone for a desperately long time. when sweeney returns to her after all this time, she sees her moment and she takes it. she's not letting her second chance at life get away from her without a few claw marks.

when sweeney kills her, he sheds no tears over it - but the grudging fondness we'd seen him beginning to feel toward her only serves to emphasize how monstrous of a deception it is. his "you LIED to me" comes out in an anguished roar. when he throws her in that oven, all the light goes out from the world. it takes my breath away every time. though it should, it doesn’t quite feel like justice.

i know not everyone loves annaleigh's interpretation, but i have maintained from the first time i saw this revival that the warmth she brings, the honeyed, deluded, comical sweetness that lures sweeney into believing life with her could be tolerable, if not ideal, was a brilliant choice.

that's why the leap into hell together works for me. some productions have had sweeneys that barely tolerate their lovetts, so a cold diverging of paths makes sense. these two definitely fall into a different category. it makes sense to me for this sweeney and lovett's ultimate fate to be each other. who else would it be? lucy did nothing wrong - she's not going where he's going. having made lovett pay for her lies, they can head on down (hand in unlovable hand!!!!!!!) to live out the almost-enough life they created with each other. and sure, her chirping his ear off for eternity would certainly make an appropriate punishment for his crimes.

#sweeney todd #long post #lord but i do go on! #mrs lovett and i have this in common #i've enjoyed them since i discovered the show in 2006 and they are very much My Brand #but i really do just feel a deep fondness for j&a's todd/lovett antics #and any other production whose sweeney/lovett Go There #also soz to reference the movie but #the moment where hbc's lovett echoes sweeney's 'life is for the alive my dear' back at him? perfection #'maybe not like i dreamed. maybe not like you remember. but we could get by.' perfection. no notes. #anyway the girlies that get it get it #otp: if you only knew

hi hello hi me again :3

❤️‍🔥 for the smitten and the nightmare. i find them funny

OK, OK, OK– last one before I go to sleep fr cuz now that I’m thinking about this, I need to put it out aimsdjdndjnd

Not sure if you meant individual headcanons for the both of them or them together so doing all two (three?)

❤️‍🔥 A romantic headcanon

Smitten: Despite the exuberant and overly romantic behavior, he finds more joy in the little things. The kinda person to watch their loved one pick lint off their clothes and thing about how incredible it is they’re on the same universe together.

Nightmare: She likes dancing, and seeing her flowy skirt swish around, and if someone were to approach and hold her as she spins without fear, she’d be the happiest ghost there is.

Smitten&Nightmare: I also headcanon that Nightmare’s organ shutting down is related to how afraid someone is of her, and so, Smitten isn’t affected at all when alone in her presence (except by her beauty!!!), that alone intrigues Nightmare, and I can see his earnest attitude quickly endearing him to her. I think Smitten would ask to take off her mask, and while he isn’t unaffected, he clings to his fortitude, and Nightmare is also actively trying not to break him. He find the beauty in what she is and then they kiss <3

#Smitten isn’t in a OTP of mine (tho I have ships I’m very fond of for him) so mybrain has no problem multishipping when it comes to him LOL #(my brain is weird ok?) #now I need a shipname for these two aksmximdidkdkcmd #slay the princess #voice of the smitten #the nightmare #“I can fix her”? “I can make her worse”? Smitten’s like “I can love her for what she is and hold her like a precious creature #despite her thinking of herself as a horrible monster” <3 #mailbox #stp headcanons #sal rambles

follow up to this post: tamara’s the first one up and ready in the morning confused as to how quite it is in tim’s house, since usually either him or lucy are already up by now (tim insists on driving them around everywhere while rosalind's out). she tries calling for them cause they're all about to be late, but when that doesn’t work she starts looking around the kitchen and living room a little bit until she decides to lightly knock on tim’s bedroom door before letting herself in, only to find her parents still sleeping all snuggled up together like...

#*and this is icarly! #the rookie #the rookie season 5 #tamara collins #tim bradford #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well #bradfordschen pointed out in a reblog that tim would leave his bed to the girls and she's 100% right #but i imagine his muscles start to feel sore after awhile #and lucy offers up to take his place... only that'd be weird with tamara #so tamara offers to sleep on the couch (cause let's face it it'd be less weird that way & neither tim or her are too fond of sharing a bed) #ONLY BOTH THSE FOOLS ARE SO TENSE THAT IT TAKES BOTH OF THEM HOURS TO FALL ASLEEP #(tim longer than lucy) #tamara being the sly devil that she is starts snapping a bunch of pics for evidence #she even takes a few selfies with them while they sleep before she pokes them both awake #they're just so tired after everything they've been through #they're both so comfortable in each other's arms it's the most peaceful sleep they've ever had so of course they overslept 😭😭😭😭😭 #am i unhinged? yes. do i care? no. 😌

*bianca from 10 Things I Hate About You voice* yeah, i like landoscar. but i love piarles

#for that one anon who was confused ❤️ #(just incidentally; anon - people don't HAVE to like just one thing ever) #(it's fine if they do!! but it's not a *must* y'know) #anyways. YES #in my case - yes it's CERTAINLY true that i've grown terribly fond of landoscar lately #but you must understand #to me; nothing will *ever* compare to piarles #they are my OTP forever and always #hope this helps ❤️

who is your favorite iteration of the doctor to be shipped with river?

I thought a lot about my answer to this, and unfortunately I am going to give the BIGGEST cop-out of a response and say that I can't actually choose between Eleven and Twelve 😭😭

Just for the sake of having an answer, I'll say Twelve, just because he's my favorite Doctor. (And as much as I love it when characters are so broken up about losing people they love that they can't even talk about it--i.e. series 7 Eleven--I do very much appreciate the fact that we got to see Twelve actually consistently grieve onscreen. Also don't TALK to me about how the specific type of goodness he was able to successfully impart to Missy-about helping someone even when there's little to no chance of it succeeding, of getting anything good out of it for yourself, or of the other person ever knowing about it-CAME DIRECTLY FROM RIVER.)

But I really don't have like. A Specific Preference. I skew more toward the Doctors we've seen River interact with onscreen (and specifically during the Moffat Era because as everyone knows it's my favorite, lol), but I've really liked the fic I've read of her with Eight, and some of the stuff in the supplementary materials has gotten me to come around on her with Ten as well (I am notably not a Particularly Huge Fan of Ten). And I also even wrote a story once about her and Thirteen (that I then orphaned later for very stupid reasons). (It's here, if anyone's interested.)

All this being said, I wouldn't have fallen in love with this ship as much as I have if Eleven/River didn't exist. Twelve/River sees them both finally on the same page, and the whole "HE WOULDN'T BE IN LOVE ENOUGH TO BE STANDING [IN DANGER] WITH ME (*has actually been in the middle of said danger the entire time because he is in love enough*) was...look, that CHANGED MY BRAIN. PERMANENTLY. But I don't think people appreciate how truly DERANGED Eleven and River are.

She insults him/makes him look stupid and he just goes like this -> 😍. He starts accepting his interest in her WHEN HE LEARNS SHE'S IN PRISON FOR MURDER (probably for murdering him). They get so caught up in flirting (over River being A Scary Person specifically) that they completely forget that their best friend/family member is in the room with them and also in extreme danger. She expresses her affection by shooting his ridiculous hats off of his head. "Are you married/are you asking/yes." (*cue the most charmed expression on his face to ever exist*) "It's a shame you were busy that day" (<-because she had POISONED HIM AND HE WAS DYING). "And unlike me, she really doesn't mind shooting people, I shouldn't like that, kind of do a bit." "You graffiti-ed the oldest cliff face in the universe!"/"Well you wOuLdN't aNsWeR yOuR pHoNe." "You've got that face on again"/"What face?"/"The 'he's hot when he's clever' face"/"This is my normal face"/"Yes it is." "I do NOT sneak out at night to parties with RIVER SONG"/"How is she?"/"Fine. 😊"

His response to someone bringing her up and mentioning that she tried to kill him is "totally married her XD." She confessed her love to him via "getting the whole universe to mention how much they need him and agreed to marry him and he's still like, "Oh, gotta go check my fucking hair before I say hello to her again" in TATM. (Fun fact, the "Sorry honey, traffic was hell" line was originally, "Traffic was a bitch" which would have been the like. Highest-level curse word we've ever seen this man say, and it would have been in the context of trying to cleverly greet River which AGAIN, DERANGED BEHAVIOR.)

Fixed point that would destroy the universe if it were messed with? Too bad! Not if she thinks she has to kill him! "I'LL SUFFER IF I HAVE TO KILL YOU, MORE THAN EVERY LIVING THING IN THE UNIVERSE" OH MY GOOOODDDDDDDDD. (<-Worth noting that he calls her out over this for all of about two minutes before deciding the best way out of the situation is having an impromptu wedding.) She tells him TO HIS FACE "When I was little, I wanted to marry you" and then ALMOST INTENTIONALLY PERMANENTLY KILLS HIM LIKE TWO MINUTES LATER. He's dying on the floor in Berlin and still has the energy to go absolutely FERAL over the idea of someone hurting her. In the series 7 finale, she isn't even tangible and only exists through a conduit in Clara's head and he goes, "Too bad! I can hold you and kiss you and talk with you because I miss you, screw the actual laws of physics." (And then he's like, "Hmm, I probably look stupid right now. Oh well, back to talking to my wife, who I refused to say goodbye to for God Knows How Long because I would have been too sad.")

HE FALLS FOR HER POISONING GAMBIT BECAUSE HE'S HAVING TOO MUCH FUN FLIRTING WITH HER.

DUDE.

(Like, Twelve is also Deranged™ about her too, as evidenced by responding to her threat of cutting out his organs in alphabetical order with, "Which alphabet" and being jealous at the MOST inopportune times and, while in the middle of them fighting over who gets to risk sacrificing themselves, saying, "NOT ONE LIVING THING IS WORTH YOU" which is. Sure a line!!! That sure lives in my head rent-free!!!!! Also they have a Bonding Moment™ about carrying a severed head around in a bag. But the absolute INSANITY that goes on between River and Eleven is. Incredible.)

.........uhhhhh this. This got away from me. I also didn't really answer your question. Sorry? (<-Not actually sorry.)

#doctor x river #your daily DERANGED posting about this ship courtesy of me enjoy #multi t(ASK)ing #mel screams about The Weird Little Space Show again #otp: you are always here to me #LITERALLY every single thing I look for in fiction can be traced back to these two I genuinely DO NOT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND #REMEMBER WHEN SHE CHANGES HER WHOLE LIFE IN LIKE 5 MINUTES BECAUSE SHE REALIZED THAT THE PERSON HE AND HER PARENTS WERE SO FOND OF #WAS /HER/????

prompt au where

Harry and Voldemort are rulers of Magical Britain and are married, but complications beyond them rise and Voldemort decides that to protect his husband, he must expend a period of time in another dimension that looks almost identical as theirs for some amount of time and Harry goes to the past in another dimension were Tom Riddle is starting his Knights of Walpurgis, disguised as a transfer 16y-old student and Tom is immediately smitten with him and think they are soulmates because of the scar-horcrux and Harry is more amused than anything.

#and tom is like: he has to be mine right now #and harry is thinking: not so fast *sprays anti horniness in the air* #and voldemort in the other dimension is like: i leave him alone for THREE DAYS! #in my opinion harry would not start any kind of relationship with this tom because he is faithful of voldemort #but also he is too fond of his lover younger version to see him hurt if voldemort sees them too close #and he thinks is a little weird for him to initiate something with someone more imature romantically and not quite in his mindset for love #tom just thinks he is his equal and wants him to himself. #best twist would be the other voldemort being snake-like and harry feels more attracted to him that way #i have too much in my head. if not i would write it #lvhp #tomarrymort #tomarry #harrymort #harry james potter #tom marvolo riddle #otp prompts #harrymort prompt #au
