#flipping pairs

[absolutebl]

Hi ABL! You've talked a little bit about how some actor pairs have set roles that they play no matter what series they are in (the first to come to mind is MaxNat, who always seem to play the sunshine uke and tsundere seme pair). Are there any actor pairs that you would like to see change it up, or ones that you think would really excel if they did let go of their typical characters?

Hum, interesting question, esp for me. Because in some cases I wanna see them change it up to test the pair's acting chops (Ossan's Love Thailand is gonna be HUGE for this). But in other cases I just wanna mess with the system.

I'm an avowed pair buster, I gleefully enjoy seeing boys with new partners and in new rolls.

But there are pairs who frankly just aren't strong actors and seem to be mostly "playing" gay versions of themselves (side-eyes MaxNat, ZeeNunew, JamFilm) and there's no point in switching it up because we all know it just would not work. (Although I think both Film and Nunew would be fine, if not better, with a different partner.)

BL pairs I'd like to see challenged

(because I think they could handle it)

Not technically a branded pair but Chains was a SHODDY script and I think these two had serious promise. Haii we already know can play both seme and uke but Boom? Also maybe something less serious? Or just better.

YinWar. Do I need to say more?

PerthLay, LayPerth. We never really got it. But Perth is such a natural sunshine and ... yeah, whatever, I just want them back together on my screen. Don't care how.

MaxTul. Always. You can'r say you don't wanna see Tul the sunshine seme chasing after Max. OF COURSE YOU DO.

I MISS THEM. Such a better pair than Perth and Chimon. So much more chemistry.

Joong can be sunshine and he's good at it. We all remember this form 2 Moons 2. I'd like to see him play that against Dunk for a change.

Imagine the Hermits learning ballroom dance.

Imagine Etho being assigned to lead because he’s tall & everyone assumes he would.

Imagine him constantly fucking up, stepping on his partner’s feet, missing beats, just a mess.

Imagine Bdubs getting upset from the sidelines.

Imagine him getting blustery about this disaster & stepping in, saying no, no, no, this is all wrong, shooing Etho’s partner away.

Imagine anxiety bubbling up in Etho’s stomach, at having to lead for Bdubs, as he walks over.

Imagine Etho trying to place his hands on Bdubs, mentally preparing for another disaster.

Imagine Bdubs tutting & moving Etho’s hands away, much to Etho’s confusion.

Imagine Bdubs then firmly placing his hand on Etho’s back & grabbing his other hand.

Imagine Bdubs confidently taking over the whole situation.

Imagine Etho’s amazement as Bdubs leads him, and suddenly Etho’s dancing is on beat, smooth, no stepped on feet.

Imagine them elegantly whirling across the floor, everyone else watching them in surprise.

Imagine Bdubs dipping Etho.

Imagine Etho looking at Bdubs face while this happens & feeling his stomach flip at the burn of assurance in Bdubs eyes.

Imagine the song then ending, & them just staying there for a moment, breathing a bit heavy from the exertion.

Imagine Bdubs pulling Etho back up & releasing him & pointed saying that that was how you did it.

Imagine Etho staring at Bdubs, feeling lost & unsure now that Bdubs isn’t there, hand on his back deftly leading him.

Just like. Imagine.

#Ethubs #hermitshipping #Ethoslab #bdoubleo100 #etho #Bdubs #I’m sorry to all my girlies who are here for smalletho #but I’ve had this idea in my head FOR MONTHS. #& like. Just because I am smalletho 99% of the time #doesn’t mean I don’t have brain rot for other pairings as well. #I was planning on making a comic or mini fic outta this but #I just don’t see that happening anytime soon #& I cannot keep this to myself. #sends it out into the universe with the hope that someone else sees my vision here #I just. Love the idea of their dynamic getting flipped in certain situations #& also Bdubs would TOTALLY be amazing at ballroom dancing. #Can’t explain why but I really think he would be.

caught the sprace bug in 2023 lol. i blame tommy bracco's arms, eyes, and smile, in that order. 🥲💖

#newsies #newsies fanart #spot conlon #sprace #racetrack newsies #racetrack higgins #tommy bracco #ben cook #ben tyler cook #newsies 2017 #long post #sketch dump #i watched newsies twice while finishing up my zine pieces then once more in pieces for comfort #and then once more after that so i could pause every time tommy bracco made me go starry-eyed so i could sketch him lol #i am so normal about this #also it is SO FUN to just draw newsies mid-air. i love watching them flip and stuff. my favourite is the one specs does right at the end. #watching him do that aerial between those two guys... it feels like he slows down right in the air & it's like he's flying for a moment!!!! #anyways spot's eyes are so bright!!! idk if it's the spotlight or his expression or what but theyre so vivid i love them. #it's not often a pair of brown eyes makes u feel that way so it's cool. #and yeah like. a milliom kudos to btc for not fumbling the cigar. idk how he does it. #love the inconsistency in everyone's faces lmaooo it's whatever i just needed to draw them yknow #i want to say mb sketching and posting these will make my brain calm down. we will see. #i cant believe i got to ten images tho haha that's. so much. #the teeny tiny space between spot's front teeth that's noticeable when he smiles reblog if u agree 😭💖🙏

mahiru tsuyuzaki has a Type

(id in alt text)

bonus:

#revue starlight #tsuyuzaki mahiru #aijou karen #kagura hikari #minase suzu #mahiru tsuyuzaki #karen aijou #hikari kagura #suzu minase #doodles #mine #the mahikaren dynamic of “the girl with the dependency issues and inferiority complex holds the braincell” is so funny to me #she went from chasing her crush with a mace while swing blared from the cartoonishly drawn speakers to herding said crush and the object of #her jealousy around like a pair of unruly puppies #the switch flip for hikamahi always gets me. the moment mahiru was fine with her hikari instantly made her her mom #mahikaren #hikamahi #mahisuzu #I FORGOR THE SHIP TAGS

my fave alabasta shipping dynamics is pre-established zolu playing matchmaker (how successful they are? eehhhh) for pining namivivi

#this is 100% a flip on that one fanfic script of 'pre-established background lesbian pairing playing matchmaker to the main #'disaster gays' mlm pairing'. that so commonly clogs up the wlw pairings ship tags (<- has experienced the horrors of homestuck ao3) #but also I do think it fits the respective ship dynamics better because zolu is SUCH a comfortable QPR/bfs pairing while namivivi are a #dramatic. angst filled star crossed lovers/'in love and war'. bittersweet pairing #also the potential zoro and nami dynamic aaaa #I love those two so much. he would be SOO annoying about her predicament and she would rack up his dept SOOO much XP #psii.txt #text #god I wish I could write fanfic sometimes #not that I'm expecting anyone to. but if you want 👁️👁️. if you WANT 👀 #this is open for anyone to pick up and do what you wish just PLEASEEEE tag me. please 🙏 #namivivi #zolu #<- also in character for me to crosstag the side pairing to clog up the tag btw. its for the bit ok m sorry XP

i want to see kit going to everyday high school, making friends at lunchtime, talking a walk around the devon countryside with mina, training with jem and tessa, learning how to control his powers, finding his own style, exploring his sexuality, going to pride with his school friends and waving the bi flag around like a maniac, taking selfies and using tumblr to look at percy jackson fanart (he's definitely a tumblr user let's face it), i want him making cookies and sharing them with tessa while they have deep chats and do face masks, i need him training how to become a shadowhunter but also just going to the cinema with his friends and being a regular ass teenager, i want to see him just existing, growing and doing ordinary things

i just miss kit herondale like mad

#i miss kit BADLY can u tell? #i also HATE when people think kit is only interesting bc of his love story with ty #like YES i love kitty but they are not only a pair but INDIVIDUALS #and if we get one good thing out of their separation #it's their individuality #i'm so excited to see them in their everyday lives just doing ordinary teenage things #but ofc i WILL flip out when they reunite #(bc ofc i will) #just wish some people could see they are so much more than their love story #kit herondale #ty blackthorn #kit x ty #kitty #the dark artifices #the wicked powers #tda #twp #tsc

I hope to GOD that if the Ninja *are* split that we don't get the usual pairings. Cole and Jay is always nice, but I wanna see the ever-elusive Jay and Zane dynamic. How does Pixal interact 1 on 1 with a ninja who isn't Kai or Zane? I WANT THE DYNAMICS, PEOPLE!!!

#Cole and Pix are implied to have a hidden unhinged energy together when they were both down to drill through a highway cause they were late #and the last time Jay and Zane interacted iirc was when they played chess at the beginning of Season 6 #and even then Jay was just talking about the future he saw abd his troubles with approaching Nya #there is so much untapped potential between two nerds #with one being hyperactive and the other being more zen #they could build or test something or something like that #Ninjago I love you but if you pair Jay and Cole again I'm gonna FLIP #Pixal and Zane is fine tho #can never have enough Pixane #ninjago #ninjago spoilers #ninjago dragons rising #ninjago cole #ninjago jay #ninjago pixal #ninjago zane

#i might actually go and get a pair of compression socks myself my left leg has been funky lately #anyway she just has them bc idk. leg hurty after wearing non supportive flip flops for a few years (she has better ones now) #||lost kin doodles #splatoon #//misako

Sci I saw these in the Crocs store as is and I had to buy them.

What do you think

depraved. disgusting. wade would be so proud

#sci speaks #these are the only crocs I would own #I actually own a pair of spideypool flip flops. #I don’t even LIKE flipflops.

[kafka-ohdear]

sometimes i wonder what was on people's minds when they casted doug allen and philip barantini as alton more and skinny sisk, who were only two years apart from each other, because in the show they looked like a single dad and his annoyed child. not that i'm complaining though (i was going feral about their height difference, how mature alton looked next to skinny, and how baby-like skinny's face was comparing to alton's).

#band of brothers #hbo war #help #im going insane #but its worth it #hehe #skinny sisk #alton more #headcannon: alton babysits skinny because webgott was busy flipping each other off #they would make a great pair tbh #whats the ship name tho #queued because damn sure i'll be drowned in deadlines

[likemosaic]

also sometimes i am just too tired to reply to threads for a bit (like right now) and all i can do are one off things and small stuff...so i love to send random asks for silly improv scenarios of our muses, or reply to random ones you send my way. even if we've never interacted, or if we have threads going, i think it's a good little appetizer in between threads? BUT i never want to bother people, so. if it's not already in your rules that you don't like random asks, then please feel free to let me know and i wont do it!!

#on the flip side if youre down for me to just squish a pairing of ours together and put it in your inbox. giiiirl (gnc) let me know #bc that is my shit #even if we've never interacted...ESPECIALLY if we havent. i think little asks of random pairings of characters are the best way to do it #or just climb into my dms #ooc.

why did he do this (rhetorical) (profoundly affected)

#obviously referenced from start to finish. half second shots that kill #you go ''i was already Changed by the mere socked glasses flip / kick gifs. i'm ready'' but you are actually collapsed on the ground #raising my hand as one of the handful of randos who stood up suddenly these past few months like why yes i Will watch your films then #and also as [guy lecturing & emphatically pointing to laptop] i have to do everything myself the undereye coloring is a distinctive trait #fashion icon shit around here also i'm not kidding in the least #i want well another pair of glasses for one & graphic tees short shorts a fanny pack a calculator(?) buttonsy digital watch i completely do #also again with the adhd these flashbacks were beautiful. inspiring. revelatory. profound (cont.) #it's also occurring to me that i've watched a couple movies for the first time recently and it was like. man cmon #one horror one that was like. I Said Man Cmon. another non horror one that was just like an unending shrug #all the more appreciation like yeah hey a horror movie and also just a movie where it's like yes i'm completely along for the ride wahoo yay #raising my third hand as a correct opinions about media haver #corned beef #it #no time to be coy i was here three and greater than three years ago. and just nowadays; evidently: #reddie #online listicle video voice The Couple Of Dozen V Varied Moments From The IT Movies That Drew Blood (Mine) #whoever came up with this sequence i'm kissing on the mouth like my god. again: profound #the power of the rileable using their end of things as their plausible deniability. like oh god i hope he thinks i'm cool. ok asshole Enough #being the guy Just Standing There like fellas the boy you're in love with very insistently did this wyd (only caring abt literature) #adding a 50% pink overlay like it comes time to make these coloring choices & i put on a vivacious song to inspire having fun / being myself #great choice imo. now to slide right under that midnight est wire

i cannot express enough how much i fucking hate that i cannot plug a pair of headphones into any mobile device i own right now. one phone ago i could charge my phone and listen to music at the same time, but not now!

#this is old man yells at cloud shit i know but i am so fucking annoyed about this #this is a measurably worse use experience on every level than having the ability to just plug a pair of headphones in #i'm gonna get a fuckin flip phone and a desktop and pretend i still live in 2005
