#And I think that they both feed each other's worst traits

Please correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve barely seen this getting explored in raileon.
And it’s that how they see each other because for what I’ve seen, they have a very different concept of what a rival means. Like, while Raihan sees rivals as an obstacle to be surpassed, your standard (and maybe even meta) definition of rival in the pokémon games, Leon sees rivals as someone he can learn from and be stronger.
Which takes us to how they see each other. For Raihan, Leon is superior to him, while for Leon, they are equals.
Trying to translate that to a relationship, adding to other problems derived of their circumstances, we know Leon doesn’t have much free time, and that they both have a lot of pressure on them because of the League so they need to seem stronger than they are, etc, would make their relationship quite unhealthy if they don’t confront these problems soon. 
I would like to see people exploring this, making them realize that, if they want to keep their relationship, they need to work around how they see themselves and their own problems. And I think if they do that, they both can get a really strong bond.

I kind of wish they did more with Ozzie as a character being right now I feel he's nothing more but 'Fizz's perfect boyfriend' and that's it which is a shame because it feels like that's a waste being you know, he's one of the Deadly Sins.
Look, I love the fact Ozzie is a softie and has good traits such as being pro consent and all that's great it gives him a bit of depth outside of just the sin he embodies and makes him more of a person I like that, but I hate how Viv has written him season two onward.
He isn't perfect obviously, we see some overprotectiveness from him in regard to Fizz and there's a huge risk of both being too codependent with each other but also him being completely portrayed as 'good'? Like, he's a Sin? Like it or not, he likely embodies some of the worst traits of lust. Granted he does have a moral standing and that's fine I wouldn't trade that for anything but there's a lack of nuance or anything interesting you can do with his character it's like...what's the point of having him be a Sin to begin with?
Same thing with Bee and Mammon. They just feel like they were/are wasted and could have had potential to be interesting and nuanced characters in their own right. Also, a lot of traits of Lust, Greed and Gluttony overlap with each other. I'm not saying all three of them should be besties or anything, but you'd think they'd find common ground (me and my friend dub them The Trio. I mean helluva!Bee and Ozzie are canon besties). Oz could still not be a fan of how Fizz is treated by Mammon and will set his foot down when needed but idk I'd think it'd be fun if the two had a more complicated relationship than just down right hating each other.
I thought what he was going to be was somebody who changed his ways, had a lot of villainous ways he used against all, but fizz. That his past issues with rage are something he worked on. Making him a perfect man who even gives Fizz his limbs is a bit much. I like his softie traits too but..only if it’s something new for him yknow? As for the sins, there seems to be this overarching theme that rich people are kinder and more altruistic than poor people, who are cruel, selfish, bigoted, inherently bad, which is why they’re poor and lower class. It’s gross. Mammon is probably the poorest sin, which is why he’s money hungry. I also like the idea of Bee being a callous addict who has some kindness but it’s swamped by her need to feed off of energy. Ozzie and Bee need to be kind and approachable to get people to feel lustful and to indulge. Mammon doesn’t.
To be honest I don’t think his protectiveness and clinginess is even portrayed as bad. Him and Stolas are perfect while fizz and blitzo are flawed, with their biggest flaws being that they don’t do what stolas and Asmodeus want of them. After Oops and Mammons Fizz will probably never question, disobey, talk over, or argue with Oz ever again, he’ll make all the decisions. Because he’s never wrong. And that’s just weird. Let Ozzie be wrong about something.
Viv constantly writes it so that Ozzie is 100% in the right and Fizz just needs to I guess, stop fighting back, and submit himself completely to him and everything he recommends. It’s really not a partnership. I’m really not vibing with him leaving his entire job for Ozzie. Not for himself. He endured abuse and worked for Asmodeus it seems like the stuff about the fans and trying to prove himself, wasn’t even true. Giving up your career to get married is something women are pressured to do not usually men, and Viv sees Fizz as “the woman” in the gay relationship so it makes sense she promotes that, and even though honestly, he’s not that effeminate. Fizz as a housewife will go crazy, he can’t do housework even, they have maids for that, he doesn’t want to perform anymore and Ozzie doesn’t want him sexualising himself, they can’t bring children into that sex filled palace either, it’s completely inappropriate. It’s gonna be like Stella all over again.
So what’s left for him? I honestly have no idea. If he went back to the nightclub, none of the development of S2E7 would mean a thing. I thought it would be interesting to see him search for his family from his past but the fandom apparently doesn’t want him connecting to the other circus imps under any circumstances. One of my anons finds the idea extremely offensive because how dare he need or want anyone but Ozzie. He now feels so shelved.
Ozzie emasculates him. Sure, he likes pink, which masc men sometimes do, and he occasionally dresses in drag. In truth, he’s versatile and androgynous, not an effeminate, baby(yikes) Lust Queen? He may as well have “Ozzies” branded on his head if this keeps up.
The writers probably don’t know or even recognise it as codependency and they just think it’s cute. The moment where Fizz says “it’s great not being in the spotlight for once” and this and his bicker with Asmodeus was implying that he wants some time independent from him. But then when he’s humbled he clings even harder to Asmodeus and never ever wants to leave his side for even a second, and never go outside again. Also, in the next episode it’s Ozzie who suggests he needs a break from the spotlight. Making it Ozzies idea instead of his own. I hate that. Disabled people should decide their own limits not their caretakers.
Now, this power dynamic and age gap is too weird for me to fully believe it’s entirely wholesome and pure. It kinda isn’t. It’s too controlling and self absorbed. The inserted in-canon fandom is also plain weird and cringey.

I saw the artwork of Jade and Rook, and the only thing I could say is-

Yep, both weirdos doing weird stuff. Also, context on their murder?
I really love how the first ask is in denial, hoping for the best, and the second one is “alright who did they kill this time” LOL
Unfortunately though, there is no context, I’m just sure this is something both of them do, so it’s only a matter of time until they stumble upon each other. It would definitely be funny…
I keep joking about Jade just feeding randos with his mushrooms, even though it’s not really how mushrooms work, but I’ll keep telling this joke until the day I die and get buried in the forest myself lol

seeing idia in a consensual relationship/situation with azul is like a jumpscare on this page
Thank you Anon!! I’m genuinely happy that you’re so used to seeing messed-up stuff that anything wholesome seems surprising lol We really do have our preferences…
But if that makes it easier, with these two it’s almost always just a fleeting moment before they start arguing again over something super unimportant or messing up each other’s lives. There is no way these could actually coexist without it lol

Ironically enough if Azul was Regina I could see Vil being a decent Janis
He doesn't share a lot of the same fashion traits as her but he is honest and can hold a grudge for a long time
(this is related to one reply from this post)
Wow, Vil as Janis is something I never considered. This type of pettiness is closer to Vil’s, that’s true lol
Jamil would also maybe work as Janis.
But now all I can think about is Vil in a grungy-punky look… a complete delusion, but an aesthetically pleasing one.

This sounds a bit too mean (to Malleus), but what reactions do you think he may have if Lilia's fucking him and accidentally moans his mother's name instead 👀
Since we can’t say anything about ch7 yet (still haven’t watched it), so there might be any specific aspect that I’m missing, but in general I’m pretty sure Malleus is going to be super damn pissed if Lilia moaned any name that isn’t his while they have sex lol He might even get angry and destroy everything and only then go “wait what?” realising what the name was.
blackbutlerfandomnerddomain asked:
I might bombard the inbox with thoughts so sorry in advance! I lowkey see Sebek and Silver starting as a thing after realizing Malleus and Lilia were a thing (I find the idea Silver having the Windows reloading sound in his mind as he’s like “Ooooooooh” when realizing his two dads are lovers really funny), and I’m currently writing a fic based of Ch.7 where Sebek kissed Silver finally during the fight, making them official finally
No worries, as long as you don’t mind waiting. You know how it is with me and replies lol, but I’m slowly but surely replying to everything.
Bonding over the trauma of realisation that Malleus and Lilia are a thing lol well jokes aside, it’s probably not as traumatic for Silver, but the realisation could still be the “oh” moment for sure. Let Malleus and Lilia be an example for the younglings lol
Good luck with your fic!^^

Alright now that I’ve finally listened to the song!
She really does have the worst taste in girls… Although, she has even less autonomy in her love life than the heroine of the song unfortunately lol But Idia is prone to thinking that whenever things go kinda well, it’s never going to last long.

I just went through most of your character rants and analysis and I love them so much!❤️ It’s so nice to find someone with a lot of the same opinions as me, especially after seeing a good bit of Tim hate in TikTok comments lately. I love the animatics and cosplays on there but it sucks that it seems like it’s seen as cool to be nasty to Tim’s character over there, or maybe it's just the comments of the videos I get? It’s usually people thinking he’s a misogynist or that his character steals from and or makes other robins look bad to hype him up. I don’t get these comments because I feel like all of the bats have been written with misogynistic dialogue at some point, even the girls! I don’t understand why people latch this on to Tim as some big character trait. Maybe it’s some joke I’m just not understanding. Also with the bringing other characters down to prop his character up, isn’t that what pretty much every character that is currently in the spotlight does at some point (like Steph’s Batgirl run infamously does to Babs and Tim)? Why do they attribute this only to Tim? Also, all the robins steal traits from each in adaptations and other comic runs, again why do they act like it’s a Tim only thing? Basically, all the other Bats do what they claim they hate Tim for?! It’s genuinely mind-boggling to me!
TikTok's algorithm is the worst thing about that app, because it's got a terrible tendency to send peoples' feeds into negativity spirals, and that in turn fosters a community of people who are either looking for rage-bait, are mad because they can't get away from the rage-bait, or try to bait other people to rage because that gets them engagement. There's no way off the merry-go-round once you get on it either, it's just miserable; it's why I eventually had to drop the app and now only watch the videos ported over to YouTube or Tumblr.
For my money, the reason Tim specifically gets blamed for this thing that is very obviously a problem with comics as an industry, not with his character specifically, comes at least in part from the drama involving Steph.
Because see, defenses of Steph tend to start from a seed of truth -- she was the subject of sexist writing in War Games, both in the fact that they chose to fridge her for Bruce's manpain and that artists during cuts away to the infamous torture sequence (which did not need to be as long as it was) drew her in a highly sexualized manner. But some people took that truth and ran with it, leaping onto this frustrating, stupid second-wave feminist idea that women are inherently innocent and can only ever be victims of The Patriarchy and therefor if anything goes wrong in the life of a woman, it MUST be the fault of A Man. And since it can be hard to pin-point which comic creators are responsible for these things, the brunt started to fall on the in-universe men.
So all the men around Steph became scapegoats, and Tim is the man she's both around the most and whom she has wronged the most. And then that attitude got amplified by her Batgirl run, which does this really manipulative bullshit where it only brings up Steph's past in terms that make her look like a helpless victim with no agency, without acknowledging or even mentioning any of the things she chose to do of her own free will. It especially went out of its way to demonize Tim and paint him as unreasonable, judgey and sexist, because the alternative would mean acknowledging that Steph had done some really fucked-up shit to him in the last days of Robin, and it was in fact perfectly reasonable for him to want her out of his life.
But see, that would mean that a good guy (gasp) didn't like her. And had a good reason not to like her. And trying to write a character who rises to become a true hero because they're fighting to make up for the shitty things they did in the past is so much harder than writing a innocent widdle victim who only has the best intentions and whose only problem is that the world is unfair to her specficially. White women with no self-awareness can project themselves on the latter, but not the former.
Amplify that by the faction of Damian stans who treat fictional rivalries as Deadly Serious Business and the fraction of Jason stans who hate him for existing as the result of Jason's death, both of whom will jump on and amplify any criticism no matter how baseless and uninformed just to score points against their perceived "enemy," and there you go. That's what I've observed unfolding since about 2007 anyway.

TLDR: I’ve been thinking a lot about ErrorInkMare and I wanted to braindump some of my logistics. None of it is canon, but more based off of retained tropes I’ve absorbed from the fandom overtime. Like Nightmare alone has very different traits depending on who you ask. I just threw some ideas out there is all. Don’t take any of this too seriously. :)
I love ErrInkMare for the sole fact that it’s a dumpster-fire of a ship. Like:
Ink Sans -> literally cannot feel genuine emotion. purely thoughts, which he can make logical responses to with his fake emotion (vials of paint)
Error Sans -> haphephobia which is the fear of touch (I think), where his body will violently glitch out which I would presume is painful or uncomfortable for him to experience against his will.
Nightmare -> not sure where I heard this but in some versions he can’t experience positive emotion so depending on how you view love as an emotion he can only experience the negative feelings that comes with love like pain and loneliness? Or he can’t experience the emotion of love altogether.
Depending on your definition of fanon, since there are an infinite amount of AUs out there with questionable canons all together…
My only conclusion is that leaves us with an aroace, a panromantic demisexual, and a pansexual cupioromantic… at best. (At worst, probably all of them are aro/ace and hate each other which doesn’t give the ship any leverage.)
So this ship only really realistically works under the conditions that it’s a poly queer-platonic type relationship, and Error would be ok with being in a lithromantic relationship where the other two can’t experience romance towards him back.
Likewise, Ink and Nightmare are unable to touch Error. Ink doesn’t even experience sexual attraction. And my headcannon only works of Nightmare is able to experience sexual attraction, which is very possible he doesn’t. Similar situation for Error.
So how would this ship even work then?
Nightmare might like having a sexual relationship with Ink since it doesn’t need to involve romantic feelings or attraction, just the feeling of touch can be more inviting than nothingness. Having intimacy, or the illusion of it, with someone is probably the closest he can get to having a romantic relationship.
So sometimes he has intercourse with Ink, who can’t reciprocate or feel anything for that matter but maybe finds peace of mind that it puts Nightmare at ease a bit.
**Maybe Ink even takes negative emotion vials to give Nightmare something that will bring him joy. Nightmare can feed off the negative emotion of others right? Maybe that’s the one time Nightmare experiences happiness anymore.
Error might have romantic attraction to both of them, very aware that he has a type and it’s romantically unavailable people. They go on dates anyways and NM/Ink will do romantic acts (without touch) for Error because it makes him happy: Gifts, spending time together, words of affirmation, and some acts of service.
Error *can* create mass amounts of destruction, which causes negative emotion, which satisfies Nightmare who can praise Error.
So the whole ship is together for the point of being mutually beneficial. Nightmare gets a good deal from it. Error gets to have a relationship with his crushes who don’t reciprocate but don’t reject his feelings either. Ink… well… I can’t think of a reason it benefits Ink besides him trying a new relationship for the hell of it. Maybe for the experience or maybe because with the dynamic it feels less forced than maybe previous ones. Maybe he wants to get closer to his friends this way, since him and Nightmare have a more sexual platonic relationship anyways.
This ship, made with tender love and care, is not meant for the wary heart.
This is a hill you die on. Features:
*barley working logistics (more technical than a home depo)
*enough angst for several lifetimes
*enemies to lovers x3 plus
* what if error and ink are enemies (protector and destroyer) but comes to a truce through their mutual enemy nightmare. And they form a truce because dream is the real villain to them all, none of them really pursuing true happiness for everyone. And the boyfriends aren’t really part of the star sanses but they aren’t bad guys either, they’re just nightmare’s boyfriends.
*And optionally, depending on your version of fanon, nightmare and ink learn that error has two brothers, geno and fresh. And they aren’t bad guys or star sanses either but they’re in laws with a really stupid dynamic. The list can go on after that depending on who you ship with who.
*one person falls apart it all falls apart
*but despite that it can be cute like Error wants to go on a date with Nightmare and Nightmare gets him chocolate and Error is just taken aback with the gesture and falls harder in love with him which makes Nightmare a little sick with all the positive emotion but he selflessly sucks it up.
*like the appeal is that it’s imperfect. It’s delicate.
*Error needs to be in love with both so they can both balance between his in unrequited love but genuine care. Nightmare gets sick at positive emotion but at least he feels it while Ink can’t feel it at all but sure as hell can act it out for him. They both care for Error but not in a romantic way is what I’m getting at.
*Nightmare gets what he wants from both sides. Genuine emotion from Error and a fabricated selfless effort from Ink.
*these two in turn makes the exchange interesting for Ink.
Ok rant over.

5 for amane(excluding milgram songs and covers), 7 and 8 for es, and 20 for kotoko for the character ask game?
Hello! Can be done
5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?
Very good of you to clarify cause I would of just said animal- I suppose I shall reveal my Secret Amane Song. Usseewa by Ado is an Amane Song. I know you could use it for Mikoto but consider- it's way more Amane to me. Like:
What is rightness? What is stupidity? I will show you what they are
I was an honor student being young Before I realized, I was already grown up
Ah, you are so perfect match to Those ordinary melodies of yours Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up! I deal things differently so no problem at all!
Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up! Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up! I’m your so-called genius
I know I just talked about how Amane is most definitely a "problem kid" but that's why this song works to me lol. I love Amane cause she asserts that she's the goodest girl possible and then goes and is Incredibly Annoying for her Own Amusement. Incredible.
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
Putting these two together since their similar questions- uh it's funny your asking me this cause how I write Es is pretty different from canon to me. I like it when fandom understands that part of Es' conflict comes from how their both Above the Prisoners and yet beholden to the system of Milgram. Powerless and Powerful all at the same time. It's something I find very interesting about their character.
Despise? That's kinda hard when most of the fandom doesn't really treat them As One. Hell I don't even treat them as one much. I tend to use Audience and Es rather interchangeably (they aren't but they tend to be the same cause...Es audience insert whole thing-) Maybe ignore their place in the narrative entirely? Unsure on this really.
20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
Mahiru, not cause I think she would make Kotoko better but because I think they would make each other so much worse. I've talked about this before. I think they feed into each other's worst traits and I think that would be Cool to examine.

Do head cannons for Erik and Gerda
Okay here’s a couple,
Gerda and Erik both saw inefficiencies in the way safety patrol has been run. They’d both been in safety patrol for a bit so they’ve probably worked around each other… though probably not directly with each other to the level they do as deputy and captain. And then they both got promoted… and boom instant chemistry.
Erik’s would’ve ranted about not doing enough (admittedly from the stand point that he wouldn’t be seen to be doing enough and being praised for it) and Gerda would’ve seen someone who actually wanted to fix things. And offered practical solutions at a level of detail Erik wouldn’t be able to work out himself (like actually doing an audit on bell towers to see what needs improving first) and Erik would’ve loved that she helped him get things done.
And they both have high energy levels that seem to feed off each other. These two clearly enjoy working together, at least at first. And then Erik found Hilda’s essay and got a certain idea in his head… and it was all downhill from there.
Also part of the reason I think Gerda struggles so much with how to confront him. She saw him as doing something good to start with (an opinion that may or may not be true) and now she realises she’s just watching him go off the rails and she doesn’t know what to do about it.
Also another one for Erik which I guess ties in a bit with the above. He wasn’t really doing anything wrong up until he became captain. Rat king couldn’t dig up any dirt on him. Which isn’t to say that Erik doesn’t have underlying character traits that made this inevitable - but the power being head of safety patrol coupled with the knowledge he got from Hilda’s essay (and likely resentment over years of shit pay)… and he misused it. In the worst way possible. Like he’s lucky no one died.

I feel like over explaining my thought process behind aspects of happenstance, not because anyone asked just because I love rambling about my projects & hey - maybe if ur a reader you’ll find it interesting idk. I take a very specific approach to the “he would not fucking say that” vs “it’s fanfic that’s the whole point” dichotomy of fan creation & it’s “under what circumstances would he say that?” it’s all about pushing the characters to new limits & playing with them in new genres & with different backstories (that still take from their core canon backstories but change things slightly. changing it too completely defeats the purpose for me but that’s another post)
under the cut you��ll find me ranting & raving about my own character writing & psychoanalyzing Azula, Katara, & Jet the three most important characters lbr
let’s start with a question. I haven’t seen it recently but I’ve seen it before for this story & I like talking about the worsties a lot so - “why are Jet & Azula best friends when they’re constantly horrible to each other?” because they’re both the absolute worst next question <3 just kidding I’m going to elaborate. to understand this dynamic (which none of the other characters really do, side note) you gotta understand these 2 are not friends despite being awful to each other - the fact that they get to be awful is a big reason they’re such good friends.
Azula & Jet share some very unpleasant character traits that other fans might prefer to downplay or have them work on in fics but that contribute to my love for them - they’re both deeply manipulative & more often than not treat relationships transactionally based on what they get out of it. there’s exceptions obviously where each of their more endearing traits persevere in some relationships but they are absolutely not each other’s exception - the opposite. they get to be cruel to each other & sabotage each other & arguably each get a sense of satisfaction (or at least feel better about themselves) watching the other’s failures (Azula actively find’s entertainment in Jet’s lack of ability to have a stable relationship, the second Jet notices Azula’s relationship slipping he considers making a move, she used his horrible drunk driving accident against him & he mocked her for her lack of sexual experience & for her addiction etc etc)
I think there is something deliciously addictive to both Jet & Azula about a friend they can be their worst self around & toward hence why there is no boundaries to how nasty they can be & they will always forgive each other instantly because they both feed on letting their crueler tendencies reign free on a target that won’t flinch away & will be awful back validating them that they aren’t THAT bad because the other is Like That too.
so why did Jet almost kiss Azula in the latest chapter despite this clearly being a horrible idea? why did she act so flirty & practically invite a kiss? why did Katara not get upset about it?
let’s start with Jet. aside from being a slut, Jet has emotional intelligence mostly just when it’s convenient for him & right now it’s not. so. I don’t think he’s considering how much this would hurt Zuko & Jin, instead convincing himself there’s a scenario where it would be fine. I think Jet tends to view things from a selfish lens on a personal level. his politics are about helping people (…kind of. but maybe even more about hating the fire nation) & he views himself as a caretaker for people like Smellerbee & Longshot but he also likes to see what he can get away with at all time. this is totally based on brief canon stuff btw - Jet absolutely sees Katara’s attraction to him & uses it to his advantage so he can make his flood plan happen not caring if the truth would upset Katara even if he does seem to like her & want her approval. what he wants to see happen is more important. if Jet were forced to stop & think & empathize he wouldn’t want to hurt Zuko & Jin like that but the blurred lines within the friend group & Azula’s behavior are a cocktail for disaster already & Jet’s selfish desire to push boundaries has been awakened.
it may sound like I hate jet but it’s actually just that John mulaney meme like “my wife is a bitch & I like her SO much” <3
I will also say - jets tendency to view relationships so coldly even when it’s people he deeply cares about (in his own messy way) is a byproduct of being a kid who raised other kids. he HAD to develop a cynical & hard outlook because he saw his family killed & took on raising his friends - including turning to criminal activity at an extremely young age. that doesn’t happen without warping a person. Jet & Katara’s trauma is actually very similar in the sense of growing up fast but they react in almost opposite ways. more on my girl katara soon!
last thing - there’s a much more subtle note of self destructive tendencies with Jet risking sabotaging his own relationship. like it’s mostly that he’s a selfish jerk but also he’s never had anything good last in his life & he’s at a weird “I didn’t think I would get this far what now?” moment. the boys most stable long term relationships are his besties who he views himself as a caretaker for. Jet doesn’t think he deserves anything good for himself despite his grandiose self aggrandizement suggesting otherwise at all times & he has no idea how to handle a real stable relationship. this insecurity is worsened when he expresses it to Azula & she mocks him & validates that uncertainty. (this is going on long enough so I won’t ramble too much more but. well Jet hating himself beneath the false swagger & having a history of self sabotage hopefully isn’t a huge shock in a story where he wanted to ignore medical treatment after getting hit by a semi & shrank & became uncharacteristically apologetic & meek when Zuko called him out for it…)
ok now let’s talk about Azula. my girl is just as ready to use people like pawns as Jet (she’s actually mostly more self aware about this character trait than him I think though not in this specific instance). but she wouldn’t cheat, right? correct! still - let’s get into a psychoanalysis <3
Azula doesn’t just love Katara. she’s deeply unhealthily infatuated with her. the bestie broke away from her dad & said “who can I treat like a god next?” & didn’t wait for an answer. Azula is fully incapable at this point in the story of being an individual. She has lived her entire life as a tool serving someone else’s whims & she doesn’t know how to stop. her entire self worth hinges on Katara’s approval… & no amount of validation will ever be enough when u have exactly zero self worth. Azula would never dream of being purposefully disloyal to Katara but what she would do is desperately seek validation from other sources because no one, not even Katara in all her desire to take care of people, can give Azula what she’s looking for & it’s left her with a hollow sense of self hate & emptiness that is impossible to fill yet she has no choice but to try.
i typically think Azula is very capable of manipulation EXCEPT romantically or flirtatiously because she has no clue how to flirt but I think with Jet in this scenario it’s different for several reasons. 1. their history 2. their by now extremely tight friendship. the fact that they find each other easy company when they’re not at each other’s throats is the other cornerstone of this dynamic 3. she’s not fully self aware of what she’s doing & if she was she would stop & punish herself, probably harshly.
Azula would deny it vehemently both outwardly & to herself if anyone tried to accuse her of seducing Jet. but the brief high she gets from his validation leads her to continue to act the way she does. Azula NEEDS any form of positive attention she can get because she has nothing without external validation:
onto Katara - why didn’t Katara give a shit that Jet tried to kiss Azula? there are a few reasons. Katara wears her heart on her sleeve & she treats others like they do as well even when there is evidence to the contrary. Katara takes people at their word & gets extremely hurt when she’s wrong. Azula has admitted many times to being closed off emotionally but Katara still continually expects Azula to be more open & honest than she is & gets hurt every time Azula makes herself difficult to read. this is because Katara sees it as her job to be emotionally responsible for the people around her. she grew up practically raising herself & her brother because their father couldn’t be fully present. this was in the aftermath of the extreme trauma of losing Kya - something Katara blames herself for. & she also blames herself anytime someone close to her experiences something negative, especially Azula who she’s designated herself as fully responsible for. hence why it KILLS katara that she cannot always read Azula & in this instance, she’s misreading Azula badly & she doesn’t even know it.
Katara doesn’t realize that the almost kiss is something Azula invited out of insecurity because Azula hasn’t opened up about that (because she’s not even self aware about it herself.) if katara understood that missing context, everything would change. Katara would instantly sympathize & be upset (for a multitude of reasons, certainly jealousy being up there but mostly out of a desire to fix Azula’s broken mental state) & she would try to give even more validation to Azula (an impossible task that would only lead to more hurt & stress for Katara because she’s already giving so much of herself.) But, again, she continually expects Azula to just explain things to her in a therapy speak that Azula is mostly terrible at (although she puts in an impressive effort at times thanks to character development & Katara’s pushing.) So, instead of understanding that this was a moment of deep insecurity for Azula, Katara reads the comment as “Jet was being Jet, he’s such a jerk sometimes but whatever we’re all used to it.”
Katara is right about something with Azula - Azula would never cheat. Now that Katara understands Azula’s extreme worship of her she is deeply disturbed by it & aware that it is not healthy for either of them. So - that’s her main concern. Fixing Azula’s problems & reassuring Azula are Katara’s priorities. There is no insecurity or concerns about Azula having a wandering eye - & there shouldn’t be because that’s not the issue! Katara just should’ve realized this was indicative of bigger issues rather than pushing the whole thing off on Jet being a bit annoying & slutty which is the easy answer - & Katara is desperate for easy answers right now.
a bigger problem for Katara is that she’s run into these problems she can’t fix with Azula - like their disagreement on the future, like Azula’s unhealthy hero worship or Katara - & it’s driving poor Katara insane because what is she good for if not compulsively fixing things?
Katara doesn’t have the emotional energy to stress over a friend trying to kiss Azula when she’s not worried about Azula cheating & their friend group is just kinda Like That anyway. all her energy is being used on looking for simple solutions to complex problems. Katara HATES this fight about the future because she can’t just fix it so she’d much rather deflect. she’s insistent they move on because she doesn’t have an answer so thinking about it is like torture. there’s no time to waste on some dumb almost kiss she NEEDS to focus on what she believes is a solution to this bigger problem- discussing a distraction! (the opposite of a solution. we love delusional girlies)
Katara’s view of herself as Azulas caretaker also means she’s DESPERATE to not fight, something that causes them both negative emotions (not that Katara gives a shit about her own negative emotions, she only views herself as worth anything if people around her are happy so it’s really about shielding Azula not herself). from Katara’s standpoint the almost kiss is a potential reason to fight & when they’re already fighting so much lately of course she’s determined to blow it off. she reacts with completely fake possessiveness only when she realizes that’s what Azula wants. & it’s silly & kinky but also sad because of course she sincerely thinks Azula is hers of course she doesn’t want Azula to be with anyone else but it’s still an act - it’s not about that sincere stuff - it’s about reacting how she thinks Azula wants her to. Azula’s tendency to try & please Katara to unhealthy degrees is more blatant but Katara does the exact same thing when it comes to behaving however she thinks she should to please Azula - to keep her mentally healthy & clean because Katara views that as her responsibility. also don’t assume katara isn’t mad at jet at all, but she knows how possessive azula is of that friendship & wouldn’t want to cause more issues between her & azula by making it a thing. doesn’t mean shes not a bit pissed at Jet.
Azula believes herself functionally useless if she’s not serving at someone’s altar & Katara believes herself functionally useless if she’s not constantly solving every problem & acting as a caregiver for someone- they’re perfect for each other! but also they’ve both taken these tendencies to the extreme in a way that is unsustainable & hurting them both.
so - that’s why the almost kiss played out the way it did & why Katara reacted (or failed to react) the way she did based on my analysis of my own characters.
thank you goodnight xoxo
tldr: Azula & Jet are the worst most selfish people but it’s ok cause they have trauma so they can be awful ✨as a treat ✨ & Katara is losing her goddamn mind but I’m sure a foursome on a pirate ship will fix her

What are Demestrap's individual bad habits? How do they support each other to move past them?
I have a post somewhere about a couple of their bad habits, I'll search for it if you're interested, so I'll just talk about arguably their "worst" trait each.
Demeter has a tendency to overreact and can easily work herself up over small things, and get a bit strained or snappy because of it. She can blow things out of proportion as well as hold a grudge, so if there's a conflict or a disappointment or something it's sure to simmer in her mind for a long time and give her a bit of an attitude, which while she tries to keep under control, sometimes can get quite nasty until she gets a handle on it.
Munkustrap on the other hand has, there's no other way to put it, kind of a savior complex, and spends more time than he should trying to please anyone and everyone, often at the expense of private family time, because he ties usefulness with a sense of self worth and craves that validation. He won't admit to it, and he hides it well, but anyone truly close to him knows it, and knows just how much time he'll devote to feeding that insecurity.
They're both aware of each other's defects and don't fault each other for them. If things ever go too far on either end it is verbally addressed, an apology is made, and the incident is forgotten. Munk knows Deme's had a rough life and her trauma can influence her emotional state, just as she knows he took his mother's abandonment of his family quite seriously as a kitten, as well as Mac's bad example, and is always worried about his self image.
They just try to be patient with one another and listen to each other's thoughts and feelings, never take anything negative to heart, and feeling seen and heard helps either cat settle or think more clearly again. They love each other, and an occasional disagreement or conflict of interest doesn't change that.
And honestly, they kind of love each other's worst qualities? Even if they're inconvenient. Demeter admires his selflessness and the endless patience he seems to have in order to give himself to others. And Munkustrap finds her tenacity and insistence, especially in a situation where she feels wronged and craves justice, attractive. So it's usually little more than an annoyance for either one. :)

What I’ve Learned… So far
By: Christina Faith Devereaux
(This was a paper written for College)
We’ve had relationships, situationships, lovers, one night stands, friends, fiancés, marriages… and so on that have either broken us and grown us. But every perspective of what was learned through the healing stages are different. Here is what I’ve learned.
Communication - It’s so easy to overthink and assume, instead of ask questions and confront issues/concerns. It’s easy to hold it in and not talk about it and use things in an argument as a grudge. It’s easier to let things go even if it’s valid to bring up the topics. Because of past experience you worry or fear it will create a problem or fight so you have the mentality to “let it go and don’t worry about it.” Instead of talking through issues there is walls of defense and attack, and what I like to call “seeing red”. But the question is, what if there was a healthy communication, what if there were health ways to speak to each other and knowing when to walk away?
Regrets, Pasts, Truama - A lot of people (including myself) have jumped into relationships without knowing they as an individual needed to work on themselves. Sometimes even both people use each other as a crutch and feed their fire instead of growing and learning. It becomes truama bonding. Now don’t get me wrong I do believe that your significant other should be able to accept you even with your scars of life. We all have our moments and we’re not perfect, but we also have to remember that we cannot use each other as crutches cause in the end, it’s not their battle, they have their own, it’s yours. A relationship should be in my opinion two people wanting to grow individually, together, and each other.
Pettiness, Selfishness, Jealousy - This is what I call the high school personality. You are jealous of who they are talking to, in fact you think you can control who they talk to because you are some what insecure and still getting over being cheated or used from someone else. My advice to this is, let them lose you, let them talk to who ever cause in the end, you were genuine and real. They just weren’t your person and that’s okay. You want what you want and no one is gonna tell you what you can or cannot do. That means you want to friendzone or breakup or make up whenever you want cause you know that someone who actually genuinely likes you will be there until they’ve had enough. It’s giving toxic not just for the player playing the game but the other person who is allowing it to happen. Finally if y’all are consistently fighting and being petty to each other with games and “rules” (not boundaries) then that means there is no growth.
Acceptance, The Giver, Standards - We tend to forget our worth, we let go of our appearance or fixate on our appearance to hide that we are insecure. We are our worst critic and when things happen to where people give certain comments it’s easily believable. Things were great in the beginning and then when the “honey moon phase” ends we get to see personalities come out. We have to decide if we accept them or maybe by chance we can work on the flaws we see in both of us. I have accepted that one of my good traits is I am a giver and I would do anything for you. But I also know that it can also be my flaw. But over the years I’ve learned that you can only give so much until you start diving into your own worth. Know your limits. If there isn’t any shown efforts or reciprocation then don’t feel like you are obligated to give your everything. Because in all honesty I had to learn 4times harshly that giving my all left me with nothing and I had to regain my own worth back, forgiving myself and the others for becoming someone I know better to be. Like I said let them lose you if they cannot accept you for you and show desire for you. Bending backwards and forwards for someone is another insecurity. There is nothing wrong with showing efforts, caring and loving, but if it isn’t shown with reciprocation then you are one of the problems. Now reciprocation doesn’t have to be the same exact things you do, but you’ll know from their own love language and actions if they reciprocate how and what they feel. Know your own self. Know your worth. Know what you want. Don’t go above and beyond.

Viola relationship (T&S) info
These questions are from an ask game by @monsterhighpunk but I know i'd maybe get 2 asks? So I filled the whole thing out.
1. Who sleeps/sits in the middle? Do they switch?
Tiziano sleeps in the middle. Viola doesn't care who's the big spoon to her, but Squalo likes big spooning Tiziano. So from left to right, it's typically: Squalo → Tiziano → Viola. Though if Viola had her way, she sleep sandwiched between them. Get it? She works at a sandwich shop? I'll shut up now.
2. What does the bed situation look like?
Tiziano is a person easy to sleep with. Meanwhile...Squalo and Viola are always playing tug of war on the blankets. If all the blankets are gone, he'll just go grab the 1-2 extra blankets in the hall closet while the other two duke it out in their sleep.
3.Who fights more about stupid things and who ends up having to break up their childish arguments?
Oh this one is easy. Every source I looked at showed hot-headed/hot-blooded as one of Squalo's personality traits. So I HC that he can have a bit of a temper sometimes. Viola is pretty level-headed but also a brat. And he likes to playfully rib on her like friends do to show love. However...sometimes these two can say something that sets the other off. It can be a reply to something or just a statement/question. If it sets either off, they're bickering like children until one of them throws their hands up and walks off. This – sometimes - leaves them stubbornly refusing to make up because each respective party thinks they weren't in the wrong. In situations like these, Tiziano acts as middle man. He sits down with each of them separately and eventually she and Squalo will make up.
4. Which two got together first? Or did they all start dating each other at once?
Well....it depends on the angle I decide to choose. I have three of them – one where the both confess to Viola together, one where Tiziano gets together with Squalo first, and one where Squalo is the first to confess to Viola. Unlike Tiziano, I think Squalo's a lot more passionate and emotional outside of battle. Between the two of them, I see him more likely to confess first.
5. Who do people usually think is the third wheel?
99% of the time everyone (public wise) sees Viola as the third wheel. Because Squalo and Tiziano have known each other longer, their bond seems obviously more close and natural when they're looked at. While the two love her as well, people don't pick up on that. At the end of the day however, the two of them always make sure that she's an important person in the relationship. If they didn't love her, why would they bother to let her in and make her feel welcome and loved?
6. Who is the best cook? Who’s the worst cook? And who is the middle ground?
Tiziano is the best, hands down. Viola is the worst. And Squalo is the middle ground.
7.Who has been banned from choosing the movie because they have notoriously bad taste?
Probably Tiziano? Not so much because he has bad taste, but more that Squalo and Viola aren't fans of what he likes to watch. So majority vote.
8. Who’s the biggest drama queen?
Viola. Not in the traditional sense though? Sometimes it's just her being silly. Other times it's her overthinking things and fretting
9.Who’s the most responsible?
It depends on what exactly. When it comes to finances, it's Tiziano. Taking care of household chores is Viola. Not because she's a woman, but she's meticulous when it comes to cleaning and does the best job. Squalo is in charge of the pets, if they have any. Unlike forgetful Viola, he always remembers to feed the animals and – depending on the animal – clean the cage.
10. Who cannot be trusted at home alone?
There's no real answer to this one. Any one of them will be fine on their own.
11. Who has to drag their partner(s) out to be social?
Squalo has to drag Viola out. Tiziano is more of an ambivert, so he'll adjust to whatever situation.
12. Who has to kill the spiders? And who refuses to even get near them?
Squalo and Tiziano. Anything that's slightly smaller or the size of the black widow has Viola shrieking and begging one of the boys to kill it. (Squalo: Stop beings such a damn drama queen, it's just a spider! Tiziano: *kills spider*)
13. Who cries the most?
I don't any of the three of them cry all that much. But when crying does occur, it's more Viola and it's because she's depressed and insecure about her place in the relationship.
14. Who ends up clinging to one or both of their partners in their sleep?
I can see Tiziano being clung onto by Squalo or Viola. It depends on the night. Since she gets cold easily, sometimes she and Squalo will wake up and a compromise will be made between the blanket hogs to cuddle together to keep each other warm.
15. Who’s the shortest?
Viola at 5'5 (~165 cm)
16. Who’s the tallest?
Tiziano at 5'10 (~178 cm)
17. Who is the responsible adult at the grocery store?
Tiziano. Because Viola was raised in the states, this girl is trying to nab any unhealthy foods (well, unhealthy by Italian standards) she can. If, at home, she makes some using her stand (American junk food) then Tiziano immediately confiscates it. Squalo is slightly more responsible than Viola, nabbing a mix of healthy and unhealthy.
18. Who acts like a child every time they go shopping?
Viola.
19. Who is forced to drive while the other two make out on the back seat on road trips.
Tiziano is forced to drive because he's the safest driver. Meanwhile Squalo is making the moves on Viola. Sometimes the noises they makes will make Tiziano pull over because he wants in on the action LOL.
20. Who is banished to the back seat while the other two talk in the front on road trips
Well, obviously Squalo and Tiziano are in the front seat while Viola sits in the back, pouting. She wants the drive to be over with because she hates car rides. If she can, she'll try to join Squalo and Tiziano's conversation because she's bored to tears.
My own extra questions:
21. On the outside to others, who gets along more?
Obviously Tiziano and Squalo. They've been around each other longer so their bond is stronger. Their bond is strong with Viola as well, but it's clear who's closer to who.
22. Who is Viola closer to? In public, who does she seem closer to?
To the general public, Viola appears closer to Squalo considering their bickering and overall playful antics. It comes across, to others, as a stronger bond. In private, however, she's closer to Tiziano. Squalo's temper wears her down sometimes. Talking to Tiziano is similar to talking to her mom – he's a comforting presence that soothes her. When she's in a panic or scared, he's able to calm her down with just a hug. Although they don't have much in common, spending time with each other is what brings them closer. They'll listen to each other, even if one isn't invested in the subject the other is talking about. Him being more level-headed also brings them closer since he can understand her train of thought.

Hello, I’m asking for a Tom holland request where the reader is jealous of zendaya because the reader thinks that Tom and zendaya are a thing but actually they are good friends and Tom has a thing for the reader. Pls tag me on it. Love your work lots of love ❤️
It's Always Been You
Tom Holland x Reader
includes: angst, fluff, friends to lovers
@letssee2468 for you! I took the sad-jealousy route rather than the angry-jealousy route. I was feeling angsty. Hope that's okay :)
Requests are open - I'm slowly working through them!
MASTERLIST
There's something there. You know it. Something otherworldly that it's too perfect to exist in this world. A spark or a connection of some kind because there's no way two humans could belong together more than Tom and Zendaya. If life was a film, they would be the two main characters, and everyone else would be a mere observer to what the perfect life could look like. Honestly, they have it all. Fame, fortune, love, each other.
Why would they want anything else?
For you, your world looks a little more green. Full of jealousy, bitterness and a touch of sadness. Day in and day out, you have to painfully watch how effortlessly their personalities complement each other. Even in their own right, it's so easy to like them as an individual. God, there's so much to love about both of them. Zendaya with her sense of humour that sets off her own infectious laugh, her ability to suit any style or any outfit she's given, and the way she makes your friendship with her genuine and valued. For as much as you appreciate your friendship with her, it's Tom that you find your heart beating towards. It's not your fault that your best friend, her boyfriend, possesses all the traits of your ideal man; attractive but with a heart of gold, affectionate, and annoyingly talented. He wouldn't hesitate to compliment you on your worst of days because it comes so naturally to him.
But together, though, your mind switches. You hate that side of you but you simply cannot control it.
It started a couple of months ago at a pool party in LA and jesus, the flirting between them, it was constant. You sat by the edge of the pool, completely aware of the lingering touches or the puppy-eyed look towards each other when they thought no one was looking. But you were. And it hurt.
Tom had effortlessly lifted her on his shoulders, hands caressing her thighs as they waded through the water. He was gentle, supportive when he needed to be and you couldn't help but wonder what the cold press of his rings would feel like on your own thighs. You looked to your own; thicker, rounder, laden with stretch marks. You didn't wait a second to pull them from the water and hug them closely to your chest.
Then came the Spider-Man press tour. It was Tom's idea to ask you to go with them and your love-sick-puppy brain couldn't say no. You knew that as soon as the first interview came round that you should've declined. You endured hours each day sitting by the sidelines watching how their flirtatious tendencies manifested more than ever in front of the cameras. Her fingers would swim through the growing curls at the nape of his neck, while his gripped around her knee. It was the exposure the world wanted but you didn't need. The most painful part of it all was the guilt you felt when you wished it all away, that even when you saw their happiness together, you wanted to take that from them to feed your own selfish needs.
He was different around you; reserved, quieter, and you nearly cried at the idea that how he acted when he was around Zendaya wasn't Tom being Tom, it was Tom but in love. Nothing of his fleeting glances or his physical affection showed when she wasn't there. You couldn't sing like she could, you couldn't dance like she could, you didn't know how to make everyone you meet smile like she does, and you were convinced that was why you were more or less invisible to him around her.
Since then you made the decision that you couldn't take it anymore, and for the last few weeks, you've been distancing yourself from them, both together and individually. You knew it would hurt to do it, but it hurts more to see what you can't have.
Now, being back in London is a breath of fresh air, and it's good, calm, relaxing.
Tom's birthday comes around. London is cherishing the heat of the sun, bringing in a beautiful welcome into June. Nobody benefits from the gorgeous weather more than the Holland family and friends, especially since having Tom home to celebrate with them.
Your present for him is sat in the corner of your room, neatly wrapped and sealed with a bow. You're minutes away from leaving to join the party, but you're currently trying to fight a battle that's stopping you from going because you know what you're going to see. You can imagine it; the two of them sitting comfortably with heads resting on shoulders, a smile perched on their lips, or following each other with a hand resting on their backs, indulging too much of their presence to separate.
It's agonising how touch-starved you are.
Fortunate that the sun has decided to show today, the ruckus of Holland parties resounds from the back garden this time, and when you arrive at their front door, you can hear music blaring, champagne bottles being opened with a pop and the mirthful conversations blurring into ambiance.
It's Tom that opens the door to you, and he doesn't wait a single second before crossing the threshold and taking you into his arms.
"-oomph, hello to you too!"
"Hello stranger, where've you been? God, I've missed you so much!" He has?
"I've missed you too birthday boy." You squeeze him tightly before he sets you back down onto your feet. You catch his glimmering eyes for a moment too long, so you distract yourself by clearing your throat. "Here. Happy birthday. It's not much, but-"
"No, I love it, thank you. Come in, everyone's dying to see you." Tom eagerly takes you by the hand, fingers intertwined, and guides you through the house and out onto the patio. There's about ten to fifteen people here, the men crowding round the barbecue while the women congregate around the fire pit in the centre of a glass table, champagne flutes sitting daintily in their hands. Out of everyone here, it's Zendaya that races to you first. Tom disappears to get you a drink.
"Oh my God! You're here! How have you been, we've all missed you."
Her hug is tight, genuine, nothing about it screams patronising and your heart twinges with guilt. You hug her back just as eagerly.
'I've missed you too, Z. How are you?"
"A little jet lagged, but nothing alcohol can't fix. Wow, you look amazing, girl. Where the hell have you been hiding? Come on, there's so much I need to catch you up on."
"Oi, oi, oi, I'm the birthday boy here. Me first." From nowhere, Tom's arm slinks around your neck, holding your body against his own and you think you might just go on fire.
"Nuh-uh, chicks before dicks, dude. I have been deprived of girl company for weeks. You can wait your turn."
"Ugh, fine." Tom's groan rumbles against your back. "I'll get you later, yeah?" His voice dips a little lower to your ear. You don't have enough of a stable voice to respond, so you nod your head, take your drink and just like that you are set off in motion with pat to your lower back. Zendaya drags you in your fluster towards the vacant wicker couches further down the garden.
It's barely been ten minutes and you're feeling slightly overwhelmed. Already, your senses are overstimulated with Tom's lingering touches, trying to imprint them onto your own skin before you see them find their way onto Zendaya's.
Despite slightly dreading coming here, time seems to pass by rather quickly. You spent the first few hours talking to Zendaya, finding comfort in her presence as if you haven't spent weeks away from her. You never truly realised how much you missed having her in your life. Surprisingly, she mentions very little of Tom which you think is rather odd considering their relationship, nevertheless there's something inside you that's thankful for it, even if it does go unexplained.
Then food was ready. Then the sun started to drop and so too did the temperature. Now there are games and shenanigans beginning inside, but you aren't quite ready to join them just yet. Left with nothing but your thoughts, you ease yourself into a gentle swing on the cushioned rocking couch all the while watching as the stars sparkle into existence in the sky. The soft coo of a pigeon echoes from the tree in the neighbouring garden, chirping through the dampened pounding of the speakers inside. You inhale, smelling, tasting that warm summer air, the first calm moment you've had since you arrived.
The patio doors slide open and closed quickly, and steps begin to descend down the path towards the couch you sit on.
"Zendaya's got the karaoke out," Tom says as he takes a close seat next to you. "Ran while I could." You share a chuckle with him, but words are falling short. "You alright?"
"Yeah, fine. Perfectly fine."
"I'm glad you came today. It's nice having you around again."
"Of course, I came. Why wouldn't I?" You turn to watch him as he shrugs his shoulders, his eyes staying clear of you.
"You tell me, you've been quite distant recently, y'know? Used to be the three of us all the time and now we barely see you. Zendaya and I were wondering if we had done something to upset you."
His hand sculpts itself around your knee and you can feel chills erupt from the area.
You think that this would probably be the opportune time to tell him that you couldn't watch his and Zendaya's relationship blossom because it was too much for your fragile heart to bare. Now would be the time to admit to him that you envy what he has with Zendaya, and that you would travel to the ends of the Earth to have that same love shown to you. It's probably the only chance you're going to have to confess your feelings towards him...
Instead, you don't. Who're you to get in the way of his happiness?
"No, you guys haven't done anything. You guys just seemed happy with each other and I just wanted to give you some time to enjoy that without having me around to third-wheel." You play it off cooly, chuckling like every word you just said is the truth.
Tom remains eerily quiet, frozen with a glazed-over look to his face. He spits out your name, short and abrupt.
"Zendaya and I...we're not together, like we're not a couple. Never have been, probably never will be."
"What? No, come on. You're bullshitting me right now-"
"I promise, I'm not. We're just good friends." He nudges your shoulder with his own. "I thought you out of all people would've known that."
"No, I...I just assumed," you swallow thickly. "I mean you guys are close, like really close, I mean, fuck, you talked to her more than you talked to me. Even the way you looked at her. I-" A pressed sigh blows through your lips, the truth sitting just on the tip of your tongue. With your head bowed, you mumble very quietly. "Sorry, it's just...I thought you liked her more than you liked me."
Tom sits back, swinging an arm around to stretch along the backrest of the couch, dangling the tips of his fingers to dance across your shoulder. The small movements just slide into your peripheral.
An exaggerated sigh reaches your ears. "What am I going to do with you, eh?"
You shrug your shoulders, attention stuck onto peeling away the label of your cidre bottle. Tom shifts beside you, spinning himself around and laying back against you, his head full of curls resting on your lap. You can’t help but giggle at how his legs dangle hazardous off the side of the couch, fidgeting restlessly until he finds the perfect spot.
Brown eyes stare up at you, a knowing grin stretched across his face.
“If this is the only way I can get you to look at me then so be it.” He nudges his head against your thighs.
“Comfy?”
“More than you could know.” As Tom closes his eyes, you look back up to the scenery before you to take a moment and catch your breath. The lulling swing of the couch has your own eyes closing, listening to the outside ambiance of the slow pigeons coo, and Tom’s breathing on your lap. Your fingers glide through his hair like you thought you would never be able to do, and they’re softer than you imagined. “You know something?”
“Hm?”
“It’s always been you.”
Your fingers freeze, your heart stumbles over its beats. “What?”
“You always thought I had something for Zendaya, and don’t get me wrong she’s a great person, but-” Tom lifts his hand to cup the back of your head, turning you to face him. “It's you I can't get out of my head."
"All...all this time?"
"All this time. And believe it or not, I'm a wimp. Think I placed too much of a burden on Zendaya to tell me what to do because I was too much of a nervous wreck around you."
"Well you seem to be doing just fine right now," you giggle.
"Liquid courage. Does wonders. And it's my birthday! You can't say no to me on my birthday."
"Invoking birthday privileges? Cheap move, Holland."
Tom sits up in a fit of giggles. He turns to face you, his arm outstretched across your lap that it cages you in. The mischievous twinkle in his eyes bursts into view, shining as brightly as the stars that watch you from above. You're too engrossed with his smile that you don't notice his hand tucking away the strands of hair that fall just in front of your ear.
"I wish I said something sooner. Would've stopped you running away from me."
"I'm sorry-"
"Don't be. I've got you now, don't I? And since it is my birthday, I think I'm entitled to ask for a birthday kiss."
"I guess I can't say no to the birthday boy, can I?" His fingers trail from your ear to your jaw, grazing the skin until they meet your chin, drawing you closer and closer.
"No you cannot."
Tom guides you into him, lips landing softly onto his. At first, it's a gentle peck, but Tom only releases you for less than a second before tilting his head and kissing you even deeper. His tongue brushes against yours and it's like a fine silk, soaked in the lingering taste of beer, but you don't mind it at all. The noise around you dulls and there's nothing on your mind except Tom. You hum softly as your heart soars in your chest, beating wildly at the way he tenderly draws out your bottom lip with his teeth.
Foreheads meet, your breaths clashing. Both of you can feel the urge to do it all again, and just as your noses skim, you are very promptly, and very rudely, interrupted by a voice shouting from the patio doors.
"IT'S ABOUT TIME!" You both swing your heads round to find Zendaya, standing smug with a hand on her hip. "Come on, lovebirds. The candles aren't going to blow out themselves." With a swift smirk, she trails back inside, leaving the patio doors open.
"She's right, let's go," you concur, once again combing your fingers through his curls. You never noticed that every time you do it, he rolls his eyes back into his head with the flutter of his lids.
"We won't be going anywhere if you keep doing that."
With one final, resolving kiss, Tom leads you back inside by the palm of his hand, indulging too much of your presence to separate.

If the ship asks are still open, can you state the reasons why you love/ship ItaSaku? I mean I could be wrong but I've read some of your itasaku ideas reblogged around here and I love it :D
send me a ship & i'll give you my brutally honest opinion on it
yesss, itasaku, my original guilty pleasure OTP~
i started reading this ship when i was a literal child back when we still thought itachi was a regular villain. and i felt REALLY embarrassed about it for some reason LMAO. but no, actually, little me had impeccable taste and here's why
sakura deserves to be in an environment where she can go a little feral. let out the ol inner sakura. as treat. this is why sakura/akatsuki ships are great (also it's just fun to fling her at bad ass people who didn't know her when she was twelve and embarrassing so they just sort of appreciate her for what she is NOW)
itachi deserves to be punted into the sunset
i feel like itachi's type is definitely hyper competent people who can do shit he can't, like medical ninjutsu and punting a man into the sunset. meanwhile sakura's type is quiet brooding men. they are compatible
i think itachi and sakura are both people in denial about their true, horrible inner selves, and that makes them weirdly compatible? itachi is a vicious murderer and local walking nightmare, but he considers himself a pacifist and anti-violence so his personal fantasy is probably like.... "peaceful living, white picket fence." meanwhile sakura prefers to solve her problems violence and yelling, but she's dedicated to some very bland romantic fantasies so she probably ALSO dreams of the picket fence life.
would either of them be happy in pure domestic bliss? probably not! but they could feed off each other like "YEAH PUNCHING A HOLE THROUGH A WALL AND COVERING IT UP WITH GENJUTSU IS TOTALLY FINE AND NORMAL BEHAVIOR" and trick themselves into thinking they are a cute, normal, vanilla couple :)
(they are not. they are horrible people LARPing as the nice couple next door. do not speak to them)
like i think itachi would be very into all the mean, ugly parts of sakura, and sakura would secretly think itachi's incredibly mean smack-talk is funny and she might not be into all the murder and manipulation, exactly, but she wouldn't shy away from it. and i think being into the worst traits of the other person is just a cute dynamic?
also they are both equipped to deal with the other one not being at all normal about sasuke. like itachi could be like "i need to bring him back from the dead," and sakura would be like "i have already prepped the surgical suite,"
i think their combined might would make them actually insufferable to be around and i'm here for it. if itachi AND sakura agree on whatever absurd thing they've decided you need to do, then clearly their argument is unassailably correct?
they don't meet at all in canon except that one fight, but actually they have enough peripheral connections (mostly via sasuke, but also via itachi desperately needing a healer) that i think there's potential for a lot of different stories you could do with them

Settle Down: Chapter 11
Tumblr media
**Gif Not Mine**
Prev -  Next
Pairings: SpencerXReader (kinda enemies to lovers)  
Rating: M
Words: 1.9K
Warnings: Child birth, language, tooth aching fluff
Request: OPEN/CLOSED
Summary: Y/N and Spencer don’t get along but turn to each other for the one  thing you need someone else for… A baby. You can plantonically start a     family, right?
AN: Two updates in a row! (Unedited) Now the taglist is officially closed now that we only have the Epilogue left. Thank you to everyone who took this journey with me, let me know what you think! much love, Cia
Chapter 11: A PowerPoint, really?
Morgan called outside the door for more nurses as soon as he heard what you said. Soon 3 women are rushing into the room, one of them clad with a wheelchair. You look at Morgan as they begin to load you in the chair. 
“Derek, call Garcia and tell her to come with my emergency birth bag, then call Dr. Lizzie and tell her the baby is coming-AHHHHH!” You screamed as you were being wheeled out. Contractions, as they turn out, are the worst feeling ever. 
Garcia is barging into your hospital room not long after that baby bag in tow. You kept an extra one at her place just in case you went into labor when the team was out on a case. “I drove just about 90 mph to get here. How are you feeling, mama bear?” 
“Like Satan himself is putting me on a spit roast.” You grunt through clenched teeth. 
“Think of the bright side you’re about to give birth to the cutest, most intelligent baby.” Garcia says. “Plus Dr. Liz told me I need to keep you calm so let’s do your breathing exercises.” Garcia starts huffing in syncopated time in order to get you to follow. You scream in her face. “Ok, so maybe not.” 
“Who’s ready to have a baby?” Dr. Liz says, in a joyous tone as she sweeps into the room. “Let’s take a look at you.” 
“Thank god! Lizzie, I need epidural. Shoot me up, Doc.” You groan from the pain. 
“So someone is a little more eager to meet the world than we thought. It’s too late to safely administer epidural. You’re going to have to go natural, kid.” 
You look at her wide eyed. “WHAT?!” You shake your head. “I-I can’t.” 
“You can, Y/N.” Penelope says. “You can squeeze me as hard as you can.” 
Tears start to fall from your eyes from the combination of pain and loneliness you felt. “I can’t do this, I need-I need Spencer.” 
You hear the door opening. Spencer walked in pushing an IV still attached to his arm, other one draped around Derek’s shoulder as he helped him walk in. Once Spencer was next to you and leaned against the wall, Derek and Penelope stepped back to give you and Spencer privacy in your moment. 
“Alright, you’re crowning. It’s time to push so next time you have a contraction, I need you to push as hard as you can.” Dr. Liz says, you nod. Spencer is pushing some of your sweat matted hair out of your forehead. 
“What are you doing? You’re supposed to be in bed.” 
“I told you I’d be here for you, for this.” He says, grabbing your hand letting you squeeze around his palm. “I’m not going anywhere.” 
“Spencer, I--AHHHHH!” You say, pushing. Your hand tightly squeezes around Spencer’s who despite how rough you must look right now is looking at you with the utmost awe and admiration. Dr. Liz gives you some words of encouragement as you breathe waiting for the next contraction. 
“You don’t have to say it, I know, Y/N. I know.” He says, hand running through your hair. 
“No, I need to say it. Spencer, I’m so in love with you. I love you so much, I’m sorry I kept hurting you but I need you. I love you--AHHHH!! I take it back, I hate you! I fucking hate you for doing this to me!” 
Spencer kisses the hand you’re squeezing. “I love you too, Y/N/N. And I know you don’t mean that. It’s actually fairly common for all mammals giving birth to feel disdain towards their partne--” 
“SHUT UP!” You yell as you push. “I usually love your facts but right now, shut the fuck up!”  
“You’re doing great, mom. Just one more.” You hear Dr. Liz shout over your screams. 
They don’t tell you this in any book, Doctor’s appointment, or  mommy and me class but for a moment even though it is a fleeting moment. There is a stillness in the air where everything is silent and you are only snapped out of it at the sound of your baby’s first cry. Everything else from the cheers to Spencer cutting the cord is drowned by the sound of your baby loudly entering the word. 
Your baby. 
They place her on your bare chest and your arms instinctively wrap around your most precious being. You coo as the baby continues to cry the fluid out of her lungs. She’s covered in blood and goop but you couldn’t bring yourself to care. Suddenly the thing you’ve wanted for so long was finally here and she was everything and more than what you thought, the perfect manifestation of you and Spencer’s love for each other. 
Genevieve Rosalind Reid was born early November 10th. Given the name Genevieve after the song, Lady Genevieve, you and Spencer loved so much and Rosalind after famous female scientist Rosalind Franklin. 
Not more than a couple of hours after the rest of the team is slinking into the room to get a peak at the baby, bearing gifts and congratulations to you both. Spencer managed to negotiate with the doctor to at least have a bed moved into your room so if they were going to make him lay and rest at least he could be near you and the baby. Soon, one by one the team starts leaving the last being Penelope who Derek had to haul away with him. You turn to Spencer once they’re gone. 
“I love you, Spencer. I’m sorry I didn’t say it. I was scared.” 
“I know, Y/N. I love you, why were you scared?” 
“I didn’t want to lose you with my selfishness. Genevieve needs you more than I do, I didn’t want to sacrifice her having both parents because I couldn’t control myself.” 
He reaches across the aisle between your beds for your hand which you stretch to him as well. “I’m not going anywhere.” He says looking you in your eyes. “I would never abandon either of you. I love you, but no matter what happens between us, we’ll make it work. For Genevieve.” 
“For Genevieve.” You repeat back.  
------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s been about 9 months since you had Genevieve and you and Spencer we’re still going strong. Though the first couple of months were difficult with Spencer being injured and having an actual newborn to care for. You were still better than before, Spencer made things better. Genevieve was perfect and looking more and more like Spencer with each passing day. In fact, it seemed the only trait she did take from you was a wild stubbornness and love for Disney movies. 
You were out walking Genevieve in her stroller when you got a call. 
“Hey Spence. What’s up?” 
“Hey, where are you?” You hear over the line. 
“I’m walking with Gen in the park.” You say. 
“Do you want to meet at the coffee shop on the corner?” 
You shrug even though he can’t see it. “Sure, get me a cold brew.”  
You push the stroller into the coffee shop ten minutes later and walk over to the corner table you and Spencer have deemed yours. Your daughter is already fussy and making grabby hands for Spencer, who smiles and scoops her out the stoller. 
“Hey, Bug.” He says, sweetly as your daughter smiles brightly at him.
“God, she’s such a traitor. Instantly forgets I exist as soon as she sees you.” You say, as he hands her back so you can put in the high chair for lunch. You’re opening her banana and pears baby food when you notice it. “Why do you have my laptop?” You ask. 
“Well, open it.” 
You give Spencer a weird look before handing him the food to feed Genevieve so you can open the laptop. Your heart stops for a second as you read what’s on the screen. 
“A PowerPoint, really?” You chuckle. “Spencer, what is this?” 
“This is Reasons Why You Should Marry Me.” He says, looking up to look you in the eyes. 
“Yea, I got that from the title, Spence.” You chuckle, wetly. “And you thought a PowerPoint was the best way to ask?” 
“Well, I felt you’d be more inclined to consider it if you knew I spent time on a presentation.” 
“That’s true.” You say, chuckling at the memory of your first friendly encounter. You take the food back from him. “Well, show me what you got.” 
“Okay, Reason #1, You love me.” You laugh, nodding as he goes to the next slide. “And I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” 
“Spencer…” You said, swooning slightly. 
“#2, I’d be a great husband.” 
“That’s a debatable fact.” You say, chuckling. 
“Have I given you any indication that I wouldn’t be?” 
You smile and shake your head no. 
“#3, I have a ring, a very pretty one that Garcia helped me pick out and it’s yours if you say yes.” Spencer says, that makes you laugh loudly because of course she did, no wonder she’d been acting weird at work for the past couple of weeks. “In all seriousness… Y/N, I love you and I feel like I’ve loved since you brought me to this coffee shop more than a year ago and asked me to make the best decision of my life. You are my best friend, the mother of my child… I can’t think of anyone else I’d want to share my life with. So..” Spencer takes that moment to stand to kneel down on one knee. “Will you marry me, Please.” 
The tears that had been threatening to fall since he started were coming in full swing now. You nodded fast. “Yes! 1000% yes!” You exclaim. Spencer takes that moment to slide the ring on to your finger as you hear the faint applause from the bored baristas in the empty coffee shop who have gotten to know you both over the years. Spencer sweeps you into a deep kiss, that you can barely stop smiling for. You pull apart when you hear Genevieve start to babble in her highchair, reaching for the two of you. 
“Oh, come here, Bug.” You say, going to pick her up, kissing the top of her head. “Can’t stand not being the center of attention, huh?” 
“Well, she is her mother’s daughter.” Spencer chuckles when you level a bored expression at him. “Come on, let’s get out of here.” He says, starting to pack Genevieve’s stuff back into her stroller. “What movie are we watching tonight?” He asks. 
You think for a second. “How’s Wall-E sound?” 
Spencer smiles when he hears you say the first movie you watched together. That was the night he knew for sure that he was going to marry you someday. You didn’t know it yet, but Spencer did, and he was rarely wrong. 
“Sounds wonderful, baby.” He smiles, as the three of you walk out of the coffee shop, a newly cemented family.

Secret Life of Gojo Satoru 2
Part 1
Pairings: Gojo Satoru x fem! Reader
Summary: What is the worst thing that could happen if you left the twins with their father?
Word Count: 1000+
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~
“I'll be back soon okay? Behave with Dada, understood?” the twins just nodded their head and kissed your cheeks, when you flicked your eyes upwards you met Gojo's blue ones. “You know that I would always find out if you'll be feeding them tons of chocolate. No chocolates, or else you'll be sleeping at your room in Jujutsu High.” Gojo felt like his heart stopped beating, he knew that you're not lying, if there is anything he has learned in this marriage it is the fact that you never spat empty threats.
The first time you threatened him like this, he ignored it and still bribed the kids with sweets and when you found out, he did slept at his room in Jujutsu High, Yaga was laughing his ass off when he found out and he even mocked him of how he was the strongest jujutsu sorcerer in the community but in the house you are the ruler, Gojo didn't mind it, he loves you so dearly and your toughness made him fall for you.
Gojo has a sweet tooth, it is because he has to keep on eating sweets because of his technique and even if you have a sweet tooth as well you wouldn't want your kids to have too much sugar and you have to remind Gojo over and over again that he shouldn't give them too much sweets, they have to learn to eat nutritious food and Gojo being Gojo, he uses the sweets to bribe the kids, that's why you were forced to teach him a lesson by letting him sleep in jujutsu high, much to Yaga's amusement.
With a pale face he picked up the twins and smiled at you sweetly, “No sweets for the kids today, got it Mama.” he told you and you laughed before kissing him on his cheeks, you heard him whine about how you missed his lips but you just stuck your tongue out. “You can have all the kisses later, Satoru but if you feed them sweets you should just kiss the wall.” Gojo dramatically looked at you and shook his head, “Then just give me one kiss right now, I need motivation baby.” the twins looked at their father with disgusted faces and when you were about to lean in to kiss Gojo, Akira cupped your face and kissed you instead.
Gojo never felt so betrayed in his whole life. He was about to lean in to kiss you but Akihiro pushed his face away before leaning towards you.
“Aww babies, I love you. Come here Hiro, let Mama kiss you.” Hiro giggled and gave you a kiss and you giggled at the two, “Better luck next time, Satoru.” you winked at your husband and went out of your house and you swear you could hear Gojo's whines about the kiss that he didn't get but you just laughed it off.
---
“Dada! We're hungry!” The twins told their father as they got tired of running around the house, so far Gojo is being able to manage to take care of the two and he felt relieved that they're not throwing tantrums as of now.
He pat their heads and stood up, “Alright, Dada will cook for you two. But you guys should behave. I'll turn on the TV, watch some cartoons and let Dada do the work is that okay?” the twins nodded their head in excitement and sat at the carpet on the living room while holding their toys, before Gojo left the living room to went to the kitchen he saw the twins held each other's hand as they watch. He couldn't help but smile at the sight, he decided to silently take a picture so he could show you later.
The twins are fond of fried chicken that's why Gojo decided to fry some but as he waits for the chicken to get cooked he heard a loud crash and he ran to see what happened and he was frozen at what he saw.
“Dada! Hiro broke the vase because he threw the ball!” Gojo's jaw dropped when he saw the vase, Hiro was pouting and glaring at his sister saying that she's not suppose to say what happened. Gojo immediately picked them up and made them sat at the couch as he clean the broken pieces of the vase, after making sure that it was all taken care of he looked at the twins.
Gojo is not that strict as a parent, he believes that his children should be guided in what they do not to be controlled on what to do and if they made a mistake they should learn from their own failures. But that's not the case with three year olds.
“Hiro, look at Dada.” he sat at the front of the two and gave them a smile to reassure them that he's not mad. “That vase is not really important because we can buy another but if something happened to you or to your sister, Mama and I would be upset because you two are our most valuable treasure. You were planning to clean your mess and hide it to Dada weren't you?” Gojo asked his son.
Akihiro looked at his tiny hands and sniffed, “Sorry Dada.” he whispered and Gojo cupped his face gently to make him look up at him, “Just promise you won't keep any secrets from Dada and Mama. Also, don't fight with Akira alright? You two should protect each other do you understand?” Hiro nodded his head and looked at his sister, he hugged her and kissed her cheeks. “Sorry, Kira.” Gojo smiled and ruffled their hair before standing up.
“Don't worry about the vase, I'll be the one to explain to Mama. Watch TV and wait for me to finish cooking.” he kissed their foreheads and went back to kitchen, thank goodness the chicken didn't get burned.
----
When Gojo finished cooking, he called the twins to the kitchen and made them sat on their designated chairs before he placed down their foods. “After eating, we'll take a bath. You two smell bad.” Gojo lied and the twins glared at him. “No! You are smelly Dada! Mama said we smell good!” he laughed as he saw the twins' noses turned red in annoyance, it's a thing that the two inherited from you, the only difference is that your whole face gets red every time you're annoyed.
It was cute and he loves that the twins got that trait from you, “Kira, don't be messy.” Hiro reached for a tissue and wiped his sister's mouth while Gojo watched them with a smile plastered on his lips, he can't believe these kids are his, he's thankful that he found a woman who was strong enough to stay with him and gave him two angels, he couldn't ask for more.
“Kids, look at here. Dada will send Mama a picture.”
The twins smiled at the camera and Gojo chuckled before sending them to you with a caption. “Our 12 rounds that night are worth it babe, look at our angels.” he knows he'll receive a smack for that caption but he'll cross the bridge when he get there.
As he had said, he have to give the twins a bath and they are both excited to take a bath so it wasn't a tough job for Gojo, “Dada you stink! Shower already!” Akira pinched her nose and frowned at Gojo, Hiro laughed and also started teasing his father. “That's why Mama didn't kiss Dada he smells bad!” Hiro splashed water to Gojo and Gojo gasped.
“Young man, you want a fight?”
“Kira help!”
The twins ended up giving their father a bath, Gojo was all wet and the kids are not yet done so he told them to settle down so he could finish and take a bath on his own.
After that, Gojo took them in their room and dressed them, he put some baby powder in their back and when they were all done he took the box of toys from the top of the cabinet so the twins could play in their room. “Stay here while I shower alright? Shout for Dada if you need something.” The twins are too busy playing to give him attention that's why they just gave him a thumbs up, Gojo shook his head with a chuckle before he ran to the bathroom and turn on the shower.
----
Akihiro got bored playing his toys and he poked his sister's arm. “This is not fun, let's play other things.” Akira frowned but agreed to her brother, “What are we gonna play though?” Akihiro looked around the room and his gaze landed at the pillow, he was planning on throwing it to Akira and have a pillow fight but whe he got closer to the pillows, he saw the big bottle of baby powder, Akihiro waste no time and turn the lid befor squeezing it.
Akira's face was so white because of the powder, she wiped away the powder on her face before glaring at her brother, Hiro giggled and run away, Akira looked around to search for the other bottle of baby powder since she knew they have so many of that and when she successfully saw one she climb on the chair and reach for the baby powder placed on the table. She climbed down the chair and removed the seal before squeezing it towards her brother's direction.
The floor became slippery because of the powder, the twins are falling around the room but they didn't mind it, instead they giggled every time they fall and as they keep on going, they ran out of baby powder.
“Mine's empty now, let me get another one.” Hiro told his sister before he climbed at the same chair where his sister climbed and took two bottles of baby powder giving the other one to Kira.
Their war resumed and at the exact moment, Gojo just got out of the shower, he could hear their giggles and he was about to smile but as he sense the trouble, he immediately ran and his knees almost gave in when he saw that the whole room is covered by powder.
“DADA!”
Gojo had to drop his infinity when the twins charged themselves towards him, the next thing he knew his face was now full of powder, the twins' giggles filled his ears and Gojo decided to laugh it off. “We're all so dead.” he wiped his face and looked at his children, being a mischievous dad that he is, he wiped his hands on their faces and the twin ran away from him.
The three of them ran inside the room, slipping from time to time, when Gojo finally caught the twins he carried them and shook them as an attempt to get rid of the powders, “Wow Dada is so strong!” Akihiro giggled while Kira held onto her Dad tightly, “Enough, enough, Dada too high, too high.” Gojo put them down in front of a full length mirror and he sat in between them, “Look at our faces. You think Mama will still love us?” the twins giggled and nodded their heads.
When you got inside the house the first thing you heard were giggles, as you follow the voices you stopped on the room of the twins and when you opened it you saw Gojo and the twins trying to get rid of the evidences of their mess.
Gojo's hair has never been whiter, he's not wearing any shirt and his whole body is full of baby powder. The twins? They're worse than that to the point that you couldn't even describe their apperances in words.
“Gojo Satoru.” you called your husband, your voice stern and your stare was blank.
And at that moment, Gojo knows that he fucked up.

I'm going to babble in your ask box because you posted that video clip of Wilbur when he was talking to Quackity.
Something I think fandom is struggling with right now is the difference between shipping and acknowledging there's likely a canonical something happening between two characters. I think we've seen that somewhat with people struggling with how to talk about Beeduo's marriage while being respectful of boundaries. There's a difference between wanting to talk about how their relationship impacts what they do and seeking out fanfics, drawing fanart that straddles a line, so on and so on.
Now I think we're seeing it with tntduo too. I'm not a shipper. I've actively left fandoms because shipping bothered me. But, I seriously cannot think of a non-desire reason for their dynamic, their history and the things they say about each other. It makes it frustrating because I want to talk about it in terms of how it's shaping the story, but any time you do I feel like there's pushback to not "ship" them. I also think, maybe because this fandom is so young, a lot of the fandom struggles with that there are different kinds of attraction. You can find someone alluring without wanting to get into a relationship with them. You can have an attraction to someone without ever wanting it to go beyond that. Which is, actually, what I think is going on with Quackity and Wilbur. They possess traits the other finds attractive and they're feeding off of that, but they're not wanting to "get together."
They're enjoying how the other feeds the worst parts of their personalities. That's what they're getting from it. An outlet for the sharper, more toxic parts of themselves that they're trying to convince people they don't have. It is an attraction, it is based on desire, and it seems to be a pretty big part of what drives both of them right now.
^^^ yeah!
At this point, you can't remove whatever Wilbur feels for Quackity from his arc, not without it not making sense. It's not shipping to acknowledge what's already in canon, or to talk about it in analysis, or even to lightheartedly joke about it.
While I'll rb and like jokes and analysis of the pairing bc it's relevant to Wilbur's story, I don't think I really "ship" it
