#ship thoughts

[elizabethemerald]

The best thing about DP X DC Crossover ships is that every Danny x Batboy ship is just a different version of “Somehow, there’s someone worse than the Batboy.” 

Danny x Dick is Somehow, there’s someone who makes worse puns than Nightwing. 

Danny x Tim is Somehow, there’s someone with a worse sleep schedule than Red Robin. 

Danny x Damian is Somehow, there’s someone with worse feral energy than Robin. 

The only exception is Danny x Jason, which becomes Somehow this twink just judo threw Red Hood. Which is extra funny because most Jasmine x Jason fics are basically Somehow this Amazon Goddess just judo threw Red Hood. 

So Danny is some worse than all of the Batboys except for Jason who just likes to be manhandled by his powerful partner. Good vibes all around.

“Fell first, fell harder” this, and “one partner would do anything for the other” that. What I really love is when both people are equally head over heels for each other.

When they both think each other are the coolest people they’ve ever met (bonus points if neither of them are very cool). When they both freak out after they get together and have a hard time believing it’s real. When they both get a little bit jealous when someone flirts with the other. When they both love showing each other off because they’re so proud that they get to be with a person like them. When they’d both go insane if someone dared to touch a hair on the other’s head. When one of them says that the other deserves better and they’re really confused because “wdym?? You’re the one that deserves better!”

I don’t get the craze of making one partner hopelessly in love when they could both be hopelessly in love, and that’s so much more beautiful and endearing to me.

#I also don’t like the implication of one person loving the other more #it just doesn’t seem fair to me #and it gives the impression that the relationship is more important to them than it is to to other #romance #writing romance #fandom ships #ship tropes #ship thoughts #romantic tropes #byler #lumity #elmax #lumax #huntlow #narlie #nick and charlie #< ships i think this applies to #jamie’s thoughts

Perciverus(Percy x Oliver x Marcus) will never not be funny because it's just three guys who are all individually unnecessarily hyper-intense about literally everything, while also being 100% convinced that they are the one(1) normal person in the polycule

Okay, so like I never really quite understand why people are into crack ship.

During my drive with my friends to the Genshin concert, I started to talk about how I am not quite sure I understand the appeal of Sarakoko, and maybe the people out there in the world has a better grasp on it than I am. But right now in Sara's life, she probably doesn't need to find another powerful woman to simp or devote after. If mihoyo had figured out how to write Sara they could have wrote her to be like a Pearl from Steven Universe.

I am not quite sure Sara has it in her to bring something nice into a relationship. I think she might need to start from having her own personhood before she can go out and date people.

On the other hand, I adore Kokomi. I think she deserves the world, and her story quest 1 feels so unfinished, because girl learns the wrong lesson about actually maybe it is great idea to have a secret police or something. And the fact that mihoyo write her in to bottle land and gave her nothing to do, when she even said herself that she never get to leave watatsumi island and doesn't friends. And in the end, she made no friends during bottle land, because mihoyo is evil or something.

So during this drive, I said you know what, if anyone should get together with Kokomi, it should be Chiori. Chiori who left Inazuma in pursuit of her dream and just a certified independent woman. She would be the person who speak her mind and to be very blunt, and that Kokomi would appreciate it. Since Kokomi is surrounded by people who needs things from her and her emotional support Shiba, Gorou.

So here is my art of my crack ship, if anyone figure out what the name is for it please tell me. Chiokomi? I don't quite understand why this is the hill I am going die on now. But this is it for me now.

a big fan of any fictional relationship that has the dynamic of “they made themselves better for me, I made myself worse for them, we humanized each other in ways that no one else had ever really been able to, because, in the end, they’re the one I’m human with the most” no one’s doing it like that

Slade and Jason playing gay chicken without realizing it, being each other's sexual awakening

"I saw him from behind once and I'll admit, my first thought was nice ass. But no man can argue with objective fact like that " - Slade

"You ever wonder what it's like to kiss someone with a beard? Not a guy, but you know, someone with a beard." - Jason

Need to draw more scottitoba anyways thinking about them in a Scott likes carving stuff and absent mindedly carves Manitoba’s hat while Manitoba loves sketching stuff (hc) and absent mindedly sketches Scott’s face while he’s carving and they don’t know what eachother are up to but at the end they both at the same time have that pause realisation moment of Fuck this is Really Gay and have to stop before they start thinking about the implications of thinking about someone else so much they create art based around them.

Unspoken two sided feelings my beloved

GAWD I’m so happy I thought of this ship so long ago & now I’m hyperfixated on it I’m the ceo of my own fixation

Reading some (a lot) bingqiu fanfiction, you eventually stumble across those with more prominent presence of Shen Jiu in all shape and form. With the shipping involved, so.

I realised some things.

QiJiu isn't my cup of tea, after all. While I was neutral about them after reading the novel, like, it makes sense to wish a happy relationship for them, etc. But the more I think about it, the more appealing it seems to leave things as they are (as they kept passing each other by...).

I've seen some LiuJiu and that was wow. Interesting! I can really get behind those. Enemies to lovers, misunderstandings, something-something, tragic event at the caves, etc. There's passion, there's hatred and attraction. Sign me up, yay!

At the same time I avoid LiuShen(Yuan) like a plague, like nope. BingYuan is my food and medicine, so I can't really picture anything else for them.

Just wanted to get this off my chest...

I use to be more into shipping Mob with Hatano, but now I think I'm leaning more towards Mob X Mizumoto.

I wonder if it's because I feel like they would have a funnier dynamic?

I don’t know why but I ship Lottie Bell and Wonka. I just think that they’d be cute.

Aerti Reading of No Promises to Keep

So, new FF7 theme song, new group of lyrics to analyze, debate about Who It's About. While I'm fairly certain it's about all the people who Aerith came to know and who care for her, I can't help but feel that they lyrics point towards Tifa most of all. Perhaps it's simply shipping vision, but Hollow, while generally being about Cloud's state of mind trying to handle loss, definitely feels like it centers around Cloud's relationship with Zack specifically.

I'm not gonna write an essay about those two, but I will link to a video that pretty much embodies every reason why it embodies Zakkura:

But now, let's break down No Promises to Keep with that in mind. Hopefully I don't kick any hornets' nests in the process.

Walking city streets with worn cobblestones Listening to people rushing past to rhythms all their own Life passing me by, not thinking how the years have flown Until I met you

This portion can apply to Zack, Cloud, and Tifa pretty equally. All three of them played a part in Aerith engaging more in her own life. Zack kickstarted her flower-selling business; Cloud's fall led to her leaving Sector 5 with him and deciding to help rescue Tifa; and Tifa herself became her closest confidant and friend, both of them acting like each other's childhood girl friend that neither of them had a chance to experience.

I won't say that it was fate I won't say that it was destiny But if not, what could it be that drew you towards me? Could it be chance?

Let's be real- the fact that Aerith met Tifa at all is an absolutely wild chain of events from an outside perspective. Because Zack got her to start selling flowers topside, she ran into Cloud and happened to meet him once again when his fall from above landed in a church she frequents to gather flowers from. Then, when she accompanied him out of Sector 5, Chocobo Sam's cart carrying Tifa passed by and fired Aerith up to help rescue her.

Given that the Whispers only show up when the destiny of the Planet needs to be corrected, there's definitely an implication that all of these events were fated to occur. However, given that the Remake Trilogy's themes are heavy on changing destiny and if fates are fixed, these lines could be reflective of how Aerith is trying to fight the future she saw. Thus, she doesn't want to attribute the reason she met these people important to her to something greater. Better for it all to be pure chance that she knows them, that they sought each other out instead of being herded towards one another.

Till the day that we meet again Where or when? I wish I could say But believe—know that you'll find me Promises to keep, we won't ever need

While this is very much a general sentiment of Aerith wanting to be with her friends again after her death, the last line's rather striking to me. She doesn't need a promise for them to meet again- they will, even though she has no guarantee for how it'll happen. It's meant to reassure the ones she's singing to, and when it comes to someone who relied on a promise to keep herself connected to an important person in her life, Tifa Lockhart is the first one to come to mind.

Tifa has a lot of abandonment issues, rightfully so given... *gestures at her entire history*. At this point in her life, her childhood friend group had started seeing her as a romantic prospect and severely strained her ability to be open with them. Cloud, distant as he was, felt like the only one she could connect with who wasn't openly trying to court her, the closest one to treating Tifa like Tifa instead of a Young Maiden. If he leaves, she would lose the one person her age who talks to her like a person, and there's no guarantee that they would ever see each other again once he's gone. Trace of Two Pasts says that Tifa had a "special 'like'" for him, one that she couldn't afford to lose. So she comes up with the promise, a way to cope with the loneliness, something to believe in, like how she tried crossing Mt. Nibel to find her deceased mother on the other side.

She's the type of person who would need this kind of reassurance, especially with someone she's developed a close relationship with. Rebirth is not shy in showing that Aerith and Tifa are basically inseparable. And given the *ahem* separation which occurs at the end of Rebirth, Aerith would want to try and soften the pain and despair that would come for Tifa through the grief. If she could tell Tifa when or where they'll reunite, she would, but all she can do for now is help Tifa believe that they will meet again, that this parting is temporary and she won't need to mourn forever.

If only I'd never known All the burdens I was born to bear Lived a life without a care in the world save for you… But that won't do

Remake Aerith's gotten some glimpses of what will happen in the future/has happened in the past, something that's clearly weighed on her throughout the games. She's scared of the Whispers stealing away those parts of her, warns Cloud not to fall in love with her, and tries to keep Marlene and Red XIII as out of her memories/visions as best she can. But she knows she's meant to die for the sake of the Planet

Even beyond the meta elements of it, Aerith's status as a Cetra- the last Cetra- and her connection to the Lifestream has prevented her from really feeling as just another girl. She's the centerpiece of Shinra's plan to find the Promised Land, she's watched over by the Turks, she's been trapped since her birth and has never been able to make any real choices.

Wouldn't it be nice to be ignorant of all that? To have even a year where she didn't feel the weight of the world on her shoulders and could live as a carefree girl who loves flowers? But even if she could sweep away all those worries, she would still want to know the important people in her life and all the struggle that comes from caring. Now, that's an impossible dream, a good dream. To go shopping topside with her friends, going on a beautiful date with Tifa in Costa del Sol, basking in the wonder of the Gold Saucer. It would be nice to stay in those fantasies forever, but the future's approaches, it's survival hinging on her playing her part. So she has to let them fall to the wayside.

Till the day that we meet again On our street, I want to believe In the chance that we'll share a glance Promises to keep, we won't ever need

Much the same sentiment as the first chorus, but this time focusing on Aerith's perspective. Even though she put her carefree dreams aside, she needs to hold onto the belief that there's simply a chance for them to see each other again.

Aerith and Tifa have a recurring gesture of turning towards each other to connect, eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart. That's their way to communicate with each other in a way only they get to hear and see.

Then, in the ending scenes of Rebirth, when everyone's getting up to leave the altar, Cloud and Aerith look back to wait for Tifa, with Aerith in the foreground. When Tifa shakily gets up, takes a breath and turns around, Aerith's not there for her to look into her eyes, to share a mischievous smile with, to whisper their little jokes to. Maybe Tifa can't see Aerith now, but Aerith wants to believe that they might get to share a glance with each other one more time.

Till the day that we meet again At our place, just let me believe In the chance that you'll come Take my hand and never let me go Take my hand And believe We can be Together evermore

I don't think I need to point out how often Tifa holds onto Aerith's hand or has to catch her in her arms. Granted, a number of these happen in life-threatening situations, but we're in a JRPG here- those moments are basically flirting without calling it flirting /s. Honestly, though, these ladies give so much physical affection and care for each other. It'd take forever to put down all the examples, but you could probably find some real easy just by searching up Aerti, so let's move on to the last bit of the song.

Walking city streets with worn cobblestones Struggling against the crowds and finding ourselves all alone Fate and destiny are no guarantee Still I hope someday you'll come and find me Still I know someday you'll come and find me

Once again with walking through busy streets. Though this time the two of them make it through the crowd and get to be alone. The only crowd I can think of is Tifa pulling Aerith through the Gold Saucer crowd to get closer to the front. As for the two of them being alone, off the top of my head there's the room in Kalm and the cargo hold on the cruise ship where they're softly sharing their Pre-Order Pasts with one another... seemingly only with each other for now. And once more, there's a lack of trust put in fate and destiny.

However, she hopes and then knows that she'll be found be this person. Really reminds one of a pretty vulnerable moment Aerith had in Remake does it not?

She was already found once. She trusts that she'll be found again... someday.

plagued by the idea of rory and price having such opposite tastes in music that he consistently cringes when she puts on new wave in the training room. I know barry stated that he hc's price liking metal and hard rock, and just the thought of him wincing at the thought of the training room sounding like an 80s aerobics studio kills me, but is he also going to tell his gf no?? DOUBT IT

I will pump life into Malcabel with my own mouth if I have to, I don't care if it’s just me and @lescahiersdesable who are invested in this ship, I have a defibrillator and I will not give up. Be warned, mortals. I shall do my best to convert you.

But now, on to the actual point of the post, Malcabel could have been such an iconic TSC couple — a healthy ship between two villains? Childhood Sweethearts? Best-Friends-to-Lovers? Forbidden Lovers? (Evil) Girlboss and her (Evil) Malewife? — but nooooooo, Cassandra Clare just had to crush my dreams.
