sketches of greg and rose my beloveds! i like to think that at the end of the day, greg was the only person who could crack rose's facade of the "benevolent earth saviour", and truly empathaize with her

#i think their love story and relationship was very beautiful #the author fell ill #steven universe #my art #greg universe #rose quartz

I finished reading Camp Damascus by @drchucktingle yesterday and let me tell you, the whole vibe and tone and atmosphere of the book felt so good and so familiar. I have never before experienced a story through the eyes of an autistic protagonist, written by an autistic author; and it nearly made me cry. It means a lot to me. Thank you, Dr Tingle. <3

(Also, I am not giving any spoilers but reading the last line of the book and then returning to the beginning and reading the first sentence again feels like a punch in the stomach. It's definitely a book you want to re-read. I love it a lot.)

#camp damascus #chuck tingle #actually autistic #actuallyautistic #the first chuck tingle story i read was pounded in the butt by my own butt #immediately fell in love with it

Honestly, Studio Orange are such a bunch of chads because this reboot was so risky.

The animation changed, they made the season 1 a prequel and didn't tell anyone, they changed the timeline, they added new characters with different designs and used a different flavor of sci-fi.

A lot of things that could make it fails so easily in the eyes of most people.. But they pulled it off so damn well.

They went against the odds and delivered something beyond amazing.

I am impatient to see what the future holds for this show.

#trigun #tristamp #Trigun stampede #I am so happy about this reboot #I started it out of curiosity #Fell in love with the other adaptations #Had a lot of doubts about the early episodes especially because I didn't understand the direction it was taking #Then I got it #And it was such a crazy journey #I haven't felt this engaged in a story #Especially in a anime #Since forever #Trimax became my favorite manga ever #This show is really everything to me #I LOVE YOU STUDIO ORANGE

I'd mistakenly caused the First Princess, Shen Zhiyi, to fall in love with me.

I can't believe people think Wilson is the sane one when he literally first met House because House BAILED HIM OUT OF JAIL. I want to say he's just better at hiding it, but if I'm being honest, he's really not LMAO

#The whole story of them first meeting is just so gay #House saw those big brown eyes and temper and immediately fell in love #I refuse to believe attraction had nothing to do with House going after him #house md #house #greg house #james wilson #gregory house #hilson #hate crimes md #hatecrimes md #housemd

i think more people should talk about how mr and mrs. everdeen’s relationship echoes that of peeta and katniss’s relationship and what this means for their obvious soulmatery

#the merchant x seam pairing #love at first listen (when they sing)#how katniss falls apart after peeta’s (spiritual) ‘death’ the same way her mother fell apart after her husband’s #i think suzanne purposefully infused everlark’s love story with a lot of magic and fatedness and symbolism #like i can go on and on about their epithets being the twelve wedding ceremony #and them getting ‘married’ as children when he gives her the bread #it’s so intentional and beautiful god i will never get over it #the hunger games #everlark #mr everdeen x mrs everdeen

"Oh crap! I didn't tell Itadori about Yuko, yet! With such a big change, there's no way he'll know who she is. 'Who're you?' That's gotta be the worst thing to hear from the person you like."

#jujutsu kaisen #jjkedit #yuuji itadori #yuko ozawa #nobara kugisaki #megumi fushiguro #myedit #mypic #If the Im a lonely person scene is where I fell in love for him #then this is where I was like ah Yuuji is really a good person #like its just him being normal but it sure means a lot #ill give him all my 10s #Kugisaki is a given but #Fushiguro being invested in Yuko Yuuji love story is so funny lol

I think I figured out the problem with the Enemies to Lover's trope, it has a bimodal distribution. Let me explain!

Most tropes have a normal distribution:

I hypothesize that with EtoL, there is very little middle ground. This is a bimodal distribution:

You either do EtoL well and join the ranks of the immortals, or you crash and burn. I've discussed previously what makes EtoL work, but there seem to be a lot of traps for writers to fall into when it comes to this trope. For example:

the turn being based too heavily on lust (common JAFF trap)

never fully establishing the enemies phase

insufficient apology on one side (almost always the man's) which makes the other's acceptance unsatisfying

the pair have the communication skills of a newborn baby (ei: the misunderstanding could be fixed with a single sentence)

one side is a real asshole but it's excused because of TRAUMA

growth is ignored in favour of acceptance (can work, usually doesn't)

Relationship is clearly toxic, above and beyond the extenuating circumstances/magical premise (The problem isn't that Edward is a vampire, that's part of the premise. The problem is his disregard for Bella's autonomy)

One side gives in because the other is too obsessed with them

Once Upon a Time flew by having Hook feel meaningful remorse for his past actions (the scene with the Little Mermaid got me so good) and establishing begrudging respect between him and Emma, The Mindy Project crashed and burned by not showing sufficient growth in Danny (does he respect her career now or are they just horny?). Parks and Recreation got it by making the leads both good people who just got on each other's nerves because they had different valid approaches. I think Brooklyn 99 is one of those rare mediocre ones, because the enemy stage isn't fully established but the relationship is still satisfying. The Kdrama Alchemy of Souls got it right by having both main characters display an impressive amount of personal growth, while 100 Days My Prince burned because it relied too heavily on obsession and trauma excusing behaviour.

Pride & Prejudice and Much Ado About Nothing show that the beginning dynamic can be completely different, old antagonists vs. first impressions, but the trope can still work if it's done right. The problem is that it's so often done wrong.

So when it's good, it's SO GOOD, when it's bad, it sucks.

#enemies to lovers #tropes we love #jane austen charted #what makes stories work #I am not tagging for the things I insulted in here I don't want to die #pride and prejudice #I think you can argue about whether P&P is true enemies to lovers #since Darcy fell so early #but I think it counts #yes I googled the top EtoL couples and then gave them my own ratings #sometimes I wake up and choose violence

brain will not let me sleep until I say

same age padawans au where they’ve been in a weird wired frenemies thing for ages but now that they’re both mature adults (all of 24/25 years old) they’re more friends than enemies….

And it’s Obi-Wan that Anakin tells when he’s decided he’s going to leave the Order, not anyone else. He has a wife. There was a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago and it made her want their relationship to stop being a secret so they could really have kids. He has to leave the Order. Doesn’t Obi-Wan understand?

Obi-Wan, who has been a little in love with Anakin since they were younglings, does not understand. Not one bit. Instead of wishing him well and helping him pack, he goes to the Council and requests a mission in the Outer Rim….perhaps a month long or more…perhaps undercover? No contact with anyone on Coruscant. And maybe they could assign Anakin Skywalker as his back up? He can help with the undercover aspect.

And at first, Anakin is pissed because he was planning to resign from the Order in the next few days, but Obi-Wan convinces him to go on this mission with him….one last mission as a Jedi. To say goodbye to the Jedi life.

Obviously, Obi-Wan sort of wants to go on one last mission with Anakin because in his dreams, he wants the mission to go so perfectly that Anakin stays with him the Order. But realistically, he mostly wants to go on this mission to say goodbye to Anakin and then let him go, soaking up all his warmth and light, memorizing every casual touch bestowed on him because he knows they’re ticking down to the last handful of seconds together.

But then obviously the mission works TOO well and Anakin falls in love with Obi-Wan but doesn’t admit to it even to himself before they’re on the ship about to head back to Coruscant and Anakin realizes he doesn’t want to leave this planet because he doesn’t want to leave Obi-Wan if it could always be like this so he crashes the ship during take off so they can stay longer because he’s 24 and doesn’t know how to handle the immensity of his love except through destruction

#Kit’s silly lil AUs #obikin #I couldn’t finish the Democratic fic part today writing was so hard :(#I offer this instead <3 #hopefully will get it up tomorrow #but anyway: no physical cheating but probably emotional infidelity as anakin falls in love with obi-wan but doesn’t notice #and a lot of pining but being brave about it obi-wan which could also turn into finding his rebound in the outer rim obiwan #which would then turn into seethingly jealous anakin #+ bonus points is that their cover is theyre newly weds #and obi-wan is like <3 you can touch me mister we have an open marriage <3 #and this poor guy at the bar is being stared down by a vicious anakin and he’s like uh does your husband knkw that ????#but yeah here for pretty newly knighted obi-wan creating a situation where he gets to feel anakin touch him and kiss him on the cheek #and hold his hand and call him pet names #all the while being convinced that this is all he will ever get so he has to be satisfied with this #that the yearning will stop and he will find comfort in the memory of anakin’s arm around his shoulders once he’s left the order and obiwan #to be with his wife #also obi-wan gets wasted one night and someone asks how they met or when they fell in love #and obi-wan accidentally tells the drunken truth #not the cover story #and it makes anakin go 👀🧐#but then he gets too drunk and forgets it

i have to say seeing how popular jem is now, knowing he hasn't always been, is SO reassuring and relieving. not because other characters aren't great or have good values, but because it means jem's standout qualities – things like kindness, compassion, gentleness, being thoughtful – are being appreciated and seen as more important and that's SUCH a good thing. especially knowing ya's history of pushing forward the toxic-cocky-mysterious bad boy agenda… we're finally putting qualities like kindness above that, which is a really positive step forward. i know it's more nuanced than this, and tsc's characters are far more nuanced (jem's sole trait isn't being kind, for instance) but he wasn't always appreciated this much and as a longtime jem fan i truly love to see it. i grew up reading books where the mc always went for the mysterious bad boy character – ruder, testy, provocative – and often these characters were more popular because being kind was seen as 'boring' or meant you could only ever be in the friendzone. jem was one of the first characters i read who had this really horrible backstory, but throughout everything was genuinely just kind. it's really wonderful to see so many people appreciating that :)
