Is it really an enemies to lovers ship if there isn't a moment of one of the characters expressing that if only they knew each other earlier or could meet again in some other way? Because surely if fate had only dealt them a kinder hand, they would have been friends.

#and then it's a matter from there of either changing the narrative they've been thrust into or getting tragically torn apart #without getting to keep that companionship they crave #ANYWAY this was brought on by #tsukasen #but also #sherliam #shuake #lawlight #(2015 drama Lawlight aka my favourite Lawlight had this) #Literally why does every enemies to lovers ship I like have a variation of this quote #'we could have been best friends in another life btw if you even care' #my posts

I want us to be doomed by the narrative, I want you to be the only person that understands me, yet I will get in the way of your goal. One of us will have to die, we love each other, but we love our goals more. We're at a stalemate, perfectly positioned against each other so that we can foil our plans together. Make this love last a little bit longer, until someone brings an opportunity for one of us to reach our goals, and one of us dies because of it.

'oh no, they're doomed by the narrative' this and 'why do they have to be doomed by the narrative' that. Maybe I want to be doomed by the narrative, maybe I want to be on opposite sides, against an army, but during a battle I discover someone that understands me, someone that in other circumstances I could grow to love. But here I'm more loyal to my cause than to them, no matter how good they were, I try to make them come with me, but they too are more loyal to their cause than to me. We love each other, but we don't love each other enough, because our loyalty has been taken by a cause we don't understand, a cause that will ruin everything.

Maybe being doomed by the narrative means that you meet someone in love, but not towards you. Together you two make a great team, perfectly in balance, everything about you two makes sense, but they're in love with someone else, and you have to sit and watch as they give their love to someone who may or may not return it. If they do then good for them, they're both happy, but maybe they don't, and you see how your friend(love) starts to lose themselves. You want to help- you really do, but you don't know how. You can't comfort them because you love them too much, your emotions may get in the way, and you think it's not your place to do so anyways. Still you try, and try, and maybe they start to see you as more than just a friend, but maybe they don't, and you fail at comforting them, and they push you away. It becomes a tragedy so easily, emotions never really make sense in these situations, sometimes people don't even reach this part, they just start to drift away, because they can't handle the feelings.

STOP STOP EVERYRHING

i do not know if this has been said but i am going to say it bc fuck it almost knocked me off my feet when i thought of it

merlin waiting patiently for arthur for YEARS. mourning him for longer than he knew him. watching everyone he knew in camelot die and himself not age a day. watching the stone of the castle begin to crack, the wood begin to rot, the streets begin to empty. camelot has fallen. he ventures out but not far in case arthur returns. he experiences decades pass by him in a flash, still nothing. humanity advances and advances, yet they are also their undoing. they build themselves up just to tear themselves down a moment later. years and years and years and years and years pass, still nothing. the great dragons words echo in his head and he holds them close in hope, arthur will rise again. a day in spring, merlin catches a whiff of something he can’t place but he’s hit with a wave of nostalgia. it’s not until he’s lying in bed later that day that he remembers it’s what arthur used to smell like. not long after that, he tries to recall arthur’s laugh, but the memory is mute. and fuzzy. why is it fuzzy? stop focusing on the laugh and focus on his face…what did he look like again? oh god. no focus on something small. his eye color. what color were his eyes? blue…right? or were they green?

merlin forgetting the pieces of the puzzle that make up arthur, he can’t remember what he smelled like, what he looked like, what his laugh sounded like, he can’t even recall the way he screamed his name everyday when he needed something. merlin’s loosing arthur again. how long has it been? too long, too long and arthur still isn’t back. the dragon said he’d be back. he remembers that. he’s been repeating the words in his head since they were spoken to him long ago. every morning when he woke, every night before he slept, whenever the world around him seemed out to get him. he’s coming back. arthur’s coming back. why isn’t he back? what had that damn dragon said? he always talked in riddles but merlin had thought his words were clear for the first time since he’d known him. what had he said?

when albion’s need is greatest, arthur will rise again.

he’ll rise again. arthur will be back. and they’ll fight a great evil like they used to, side by side, two sides of the same coin, arthur and merlin together at last. he just has to wait for such a great evil. a great evil that would constitute arthur’s return. merlin’s lived many, many years. he’s seen much evil. arthur never returned then. something bigger and badder then. something worse that anything he could imagine…would it be immoral to instigate the evil to come to pass? (merlin’s tries to recall arthur’s secret smile when merlin made a face at him across the room or whispered something in his ear when visiting noble and royals were acting like fools and comes up empty.) to hell with morals. to hell with the damn dragon. to hell with it all. merlin’s been alive for centuries. arthur’s been asleep for centuries. they’ve been waiting for each other for centuries. merlin’s sick of it. to hell with it all. arthur needs a great evil? he’ll give him a great evil.

#aka merthur rivals to friends to sorta lovers but not quite to enemies to lovers #i was just thinking about merlin loosing the love of his life and literal soulmate #and just deciding #‘​fuck it. to hell with everyone else. i want him back.’ #and becoming the great evil terrorizing albion which requires arthur to return #bc like. who can beat merlin? the greatest sorcerer to walk the earth? #arthur pendragon #the other side of the coin #the one who merlin’s uses his magic for #the man he serves #evil merlin #or rather #dark merlin #merlin emrys #bbc merlin #something something destroying yourself for love

Okay everyone hear me out, imagine teen buddie where Buck absolutely hates Eddie's guts because be it anything, Eddie is always competing in the same and somehow he's better than him in all of them. It's as if Buck will only be the second best always below Eddie no matter how hard he tries. Finally he goes to college and just when he's sure that Eddie won't be able to one up him anymore, that's when he finds him, again. Buck is sure that the only feeling he'll have for Eddie is hate but what would happen if circumstances force them to stay more time with each other. And why does it feel like that maybe Eddie actually doesn't hate him and on the contrary might like him??

(loosely based on the series We best love: No. 1 for you)

[raayllum]

like one of my favourite story / dynamic tropes ever is “hero feels indebted to a villain for something positive they cannot possibly repay that happens while they are enemies, even though they still despise one another and are completely ideologically opposed” so that rayla claudia scene at the end really checked off my boxes

#raydia #s4 #4x09 #Immaculate #i think one of the main reasons so many enemies to lover ships or whatever fall flat to be is bc #too much of it predicates on the villain liking/loving/being interested in the hero #with actual very little thought or action given to how the hero feels about all the fucked up things the villain does to them #so i'm always more intrigued & interested in hero/villain ships or brotps #where the villain has the more negative feelings towards the hero (not out of love but out of genuine dislike/etc) #and the hero has genuine reason to feel positively towards the villain #aka things i realized about myself while over analyzing frozen (2013) a decade ago unfortunately #tag ramble #s4 spoilers #text post #mine #tropes

One thing I really love about CassDan/Wallpaper shippers is that they get really excited and happy about how in official concept artworks Cassandra and Ivy are mentioned in respective "dislike" sections(just how is Dan for the Freys) yet that's not the case for Cassandra and Daniel.

Cuz hahaha,,, girl I getcha 😔

#dancass enemies/rivals to lovers supremacy #sorry guys 😔 #anyway I highly doubt it'd be canon and I'd much rather prefer to have dating option #but like...sorry guys I am a wallpaper shipper #I even have like #a wholeass fugitive Daniel/auror Cassandra au #btw I REALLY wish their csnon relationship was actually rivals/frienemies and not bully/victim #LOOKING AT U Y3 #chemzee rambles lmao #JUST TO CLARIFY I ship them NOT how they are in canon but rather how I headcanon rhem aka frienemies with 0 actual bullying #or well... VERY little bullying

most beautiful woman in the world BTW…

#shut up about bg3. #me doing all the romance scenes so I can take more screencaps of shri’iia 😔🫶 #i managed to get lae’zel/astarion/karlach/shadowheart this time around so WHO SAID she doesn’t get bitches!!!!!! #but I think out of the four lae’zel and astarion’s scenes fits with her character the most bc she’s not the type to sit down and have #heart to hearts… which pains me to say because karlach was so cute about it 😭😭😭😭😩🙏 #i think I’ll keep astarion bc I’m still delusional and believe that shadowheart and lae’zel can have a thing 😭 #like what was that homoerotic straddling with the knife on the neck for….. ??? idk …. I love enemies to lovers 🙄🙄🙄 #but I managed to be an oath breaker in this playthrough ! and defended the grove from minthara #which was SUCH a hard fight like omg …. #I just got lucky that I managed to kill her in one turn with shri’iia otherwise i would’ve been wasted .. #but it’s now the start of shri’iia’s oath breaker arc aka she’s not bound to her oaths / devotion to lolth #so maybe now she’ll be decent LOL #speaking of oath breaker arc I actually have a sketch for shri’iia but I’m like u know who this pose will fit too ….. jaime…..

ftm and mtf solidarity is actually so insanely amazing if you think about it. it almost reads like a soulmate enemies-to-lovers AU. we're the same, you and i. two sides of the same coin. one cannot exist without the other. we're both here, alive, under the same flag, but we're going in opposite directions. you have everything i've ever dreamed of and you don't want it. i have everything you've ever dreamed of and i don't want it. people see you as the villain, and me as the victim. and yet, in spite of it all, we're fighting side by side. isn't that fucking cool?

#trans #transgender #trans mtf #trans ftm #“it almost reads like a soulmate enemies-to-lovers AU” aka how to say you're chronically dependent on ao3 without saying you're chronically #dependent on ao3 #anyways. is my theater kid showing with this one? chat?
