Kobylu with Koby being all flustered around Luffy while Luffy is completely oblivious is good and all, but; and listen; what if they're both incredibly flustered?
Luffy isn't nervous about Zoro and Sanji because he has no reason to be but he is nervous with Koby because he is confused about their relationship. He's a menace to the world government, and Koby is Marine that works for said world government, so he just doesn't know how to proceed.
Whenever they stumble upon each other they just stand there awkwardly and are like "...hi!" and the Straw Hats are just dumbfounded by the sight of a nervous Luffy.

Tempted to ship Maggie and Negan simply because it’s dark and Problematic, and the new order of fandom is far to puritanical for my tastes. In the old days, we shipped enemies all the time. It wasn’t fraught with moral signaling and some 22yo yelling at you on the internet and calling you a Bad Person. It was a fantasy, and we had fun. >:)

thinking about jesus’s scars and this. thinking about how people demand proof of trans suffering in order to acknowledge them as people worthy of being. thinking about how thomas did the same thing to our brother jesus. thinking about how jesus will always always always be on the side of trans people

This is probably pretty basic and with this show maybe slightly controversial but I kinda want all couples to be endgame in only friends.
Yeah yeah I know it doesn't make a lot of sense and some of them would probably be better off apart.
But like this is still just a silly little bl show. I don't want realism. I want happy ends and cute gifs of characters in love I can save and stare at when I'm sad and real life gets to be too much. That's the fun of fiction. It doesn't have to make sense.
What can I say? Maybe I am a hopeless romantic at heart lol

Based on the reactions and responses to my 'good girl' post, life as a couple, especially the sex part for many is unimaginative and boring. I'm sure their favourite ice cream flavour is vanilla and not that there's anything wrong with good old vanilla, but sometimes adding a little chocolate, fudge or biscuits doesn't hurt. These are the same people who were "offended" by the stupid rumour that William was into pegg*ng.
Partida de puritanas con parejas de fragile masculinity 😒😒😒

Setup and Payoff
Dear Rookie writers: <clenches fist, looks out longingly onto a field of continuity> Look. I get it. You had to execute the ship. You were moved to an earlier time slot, so less risqué content. You tonally shifted to a comedy. Covid fucked your timeline, etc etc etc. FINE. I give you all of that.
But for the love of all that is good and holy can you PLEASE WRITE NORMAL FUCKING STORYLINES THAT MAKE SENSE.
Screenwriting is simple. Setup. Payoff. Like, for example:
— setup: show actively sets up friend ribbing friend about a coworker crush/romance. The PAYOFF would be said friend loses their shit when the coworkers actually get together (examples: Boyle in B99, Jacob in Abbott Elementary, Michael Scott in the Office, Schmidt for Nick and Jess in New Girl).
— setup: show actively sets up consequences to office / coworkers finding out about secret romance. PAYOFF: actual work consequences happen (ie, Ben and Lesley break up in parks and rec).
— setup: characters CONFESS THEIR FEELINGS to OTHER CHARACTERS in an ensemble cast so that the audience knows there are actual emotional stakes. PAYOFF: we get emotional insights and CLEAR emotional STAKES. (Ie, B99, Parks & Rec, New Girl, The Mindy Project).
— setup: you have two characters who want to be together but can’t due to [insert obstacles]. Unresolved tension continues to rise until characters can be together. (Ie, Castle, X Files, Alias, ER, Buffy, Once Upon a Time).
Every single move the Rookie has made this year has deflated each setup like a fucking pin in a balloon.
— Lopez ribs Bradford about Lucy and in the end neither supposed bff brings up the romance again, save Lopez over some dumb radio message? (And we never get some confessional from Lucy to Nyla or anyone about how she pined for Tim in UC school, and all we get is some throwaway “*That* Bradford” one-liner?)
— Season One of Talia warning Lucy re: Nolan so they break up, to Seasons 2-4 of Lucy being a subordinate to Tim so nothing can happen, to Grey warning them about office romances, and in the end, we get ZERO reactions from any characters that they’re together and ZERO consequences to the relationship other than some mild Post-It wrangling?
— The unresolved tension that starts off with a bang in S1, ratchets up in S2 and complicates itself S3 and S4, never ACTUALLY gets addressed by Tim or Lucy confessing their actual feelings to each other? Just suddenly “if we do this” to “our kids will be xyz” in a few episodes?
I JUST DONT GET IT. I DONT UNDERSTAND setting up a storyline that could be SO FULL of juicy confessions, angst, longing, pining and just maybe ONE LITTLE SEXY SCENE FFS only to turn it into the MOST bland and milquetoast ship. I KNOW these characters can do hot and sassy and argumentative because we’ve seen it. They can definitely to angsty. But this whole we’re-going-to-dial -down-every-emotional-payoff-to-a-mild-5….like….to what end, writers? TO WHAT END?
