GM: Ok, so as the party approaches the clearing, there are a myriad of statues holding twigs, all seemingly creating a canopy over the trail.

Player: I roll for perception. It's a 26.

GM: You see one amongst them has an empty ha--

Player: I pick up a twig. I climb up the statue and put it in the statue's hand.

GM: ....

Player: :)

GM: ..... The statues all turn to point in a direction off the path-- how did you???

Player: Yahaha. Bitch.

I have a theory

listen up bitches (gender neutral) (affectionate) i’ve been cooking this for an incredibly long time and i’m very very excited to share it but it is gonna be long so i’m putting it under a cut

my theory is that there has been a new set of archetypes created by popular m/m media either in canon or coding and i would love if it was more widely recognized by a distinct name so here we go:

I present to you: The Mirrorball x Running Up That Hill Boyfriends™️ Theory

i need to preface this by saying that i am absolutely not an english major or expert but i have done so much analysis that i’m 98% positive i’m on to something here

so usually mlm ships- at least in my experience- get boiled down into typical Grumpy x Sunshine, Golden Retriever x Black Cat, or like. Babygirl x Badass. and i hate that because those are like really watered down hetero romance stereotypes and i think queer people deserve to get our own archetypes instead of trying to force queer characters into prepaid boxes but that’s a story for another day so:

basically, all content with widely accepted mlm ships (even if they are more in coding than in canon) has this pattern with the ship that fits into Mirrorball x Running Up That Hill

(name pending- open to suggestions)

Boyfriend No.1 of course is the epitome of Mirrorball by Taylor Swift (i know, i know. bear with me here). He’s constantly trying to prove himself and his worth and usually he’s driven to hide or overcome 1-3 specific and intense insecurities/character flaws. He often has innate loyalty to a system or person who has repeatedly abused/neglected/abandoned him and thinks that this treatment is a result of his own character rather than a reflection of the abuser. In relation to the plot and audience, this is the “more dangerous” of the two because he’s so desperate to hold onto the status quo that he’ll often act in a way that makes things more difficult for himself, often by leaving Boyfriend No. 2, sacrificing himself, or doing “the wrong thing.” He also commonly has an older male figure that is breathing down his neck constantly, haunting his perceived inadequacies, and fueling his self-loathing. He’s constantly mischaracterized because he’s either boiled down to “the silly one” or a visage of his trauma and the people that relate to love these characters are usually extremely sad people. Usually this character is also the “mean girl” of the couple.

Examples of the Mirrorball boyfriend: Dean Winchester, Aziraphale, Stede Bonnet, Lucius Spriggs, Sherlock Holmes, Eddie Munson, Mike Wheeler, Prince Rupert, etc.

Boyfriend No. 2 then, is the Running Up That Hill Boyfriend, based of course, on the song by the same name by the perfect Kate Bush. He’s the one that’s seen The Horrors™️ and gained a layer of cynicism that Mirrorball doesn’t have. He was once loyal to something that used/hurt him but he rejected it and used his newfound freedom to restructure his entire personality and reach his much higher potential. Usually, he has passed so far from having a few insecurities to perceiving himself as utterly worthless and unlovable but he’s so convinced that it doesn’t even haunt him, he just goes with it and usually comes off looking overly-confident or cocky. This is The Bitch (affectionate)™️. There’s probably a scene of him covered in blood. This is The Girls’ favorite blorbo and ultimate whump. He tends to be really good with kids and he’s the kind of character that would and often has to CLAW a life out for himself by his fingernails.

Examples of the Running Up That Hill Boyfriend: Castiel, Crowley, Ed Teach, Black Pete, John Watson, Steve Harrington, Will Byers, Prince Amir, etc.

unfortunately i haven’t seen a lot of popular queer stuff so if you can think of other mlm or mlm shaped characters that fit into these archetypes please please please tell me

i’m specifically curious about:

-Hannigram (Hannibal)

-Buddy (911) (@criminally-obsessed if you would mind weighing in but obviously no pressure)

-Lokius (Loki) (@henderdads same thing)

-Any of the marauders but specifically WolfStar

-Stucky (MCU)

-RWRB (i’m so sorry i don’t remember the guys’ names)

-Nick and Charlie (Heartstopper)

-What We Do In the Shadows has one I think?

-literally anyone else please and thank you 🙏🙏 love you all

if you want like explicit examples of each piece for a character lmk for sure because i could talk about this all day long

If you told me last year that I'd be shipping a mentally unstable frog and a psychopathic cat in a French cartoon, I wouldn't have believed it.

Now look at me.

the thing is

it's not that i'm self-conscious about my writing, it would mean my self-esteem is still lower than i believe it to be, and this community is generally so fantastically unashamed and i'm learning from it

i'm not worried about what i create being disliked, i'm worried about it being ignored

been there done that, wasn't very fun to spend hours drawing a piece to publish, and then, as more hours went by, see that no one gives a shit that it was lost among the more skilled more popular artists shutting that blog down was probably one of my best decisions

i'm just a small inconspicuous person with no skill of social media management and no will to risk the said self-esteem by becoming dependent on online attention all over again

at least i have a few dear friends i can trust for feedback, they so lift me up

asked my wife to touch their butt and they glared at me w/ the anger of a thousand bothered hornets and asked me "YOU THINK YOU DESERVE RUMPUS AFTER YOU SICCED YOUR BOOPS ON ME?"

I will not in fact be touching rump, I fear, my moots.

drawing idea! Hozier and David Tennant sitting at a table playing cards and splitting a bottle of wine. the door behind them opens. in walks Peeta Mellark.

“Deal him in, my dear,” says Hozier

David does so.

Peeta sits at the table and looks very confused. The other two are unfazed.

Then everything pans out and you see that above the door there’s an orange banner with pink and white writing that says “Honorary Lesbians”

I thought about how they could have visually made Bi-Han and Kuai Liang as different Cryomancers by Bi-Han being the one make Ice clones that could translate to his ability to make Shadow Clones when he's Noob Saibot..... Now, I might translate this idea to my AU.
