#and there’s ZERO of Bert trying to ‘convince her’ that he’s a ‘nice guy’ by flaunting those same virtues before

[void-tiger]

Rewatching MaryPoppins be like: [kiss-repulsed ace excitement when They DON’T KISS!! in the Very Romantic “Jolly Holiday” and we all still know they’re romantic]

...like no wonder Baby Me stanned them as prolly my first OTP (tho I mostly wanted that freed carosel horse and pet fox...)

*coughs*

Anyway. I’ve had that song stuck as an earworm and daydreaming about Shallura in similar Jolly Holiday outfits (tho prolly with purples vs that orange and red) and, idk. An entire AU.

#tiger’s musings #jolly holiday #...look Ineffable Husbands not kissing but we KNOW they’re together was a HUGE DEAL to me #and here’s Mary Poppins and Bert literally on a date and Bert declaring his love and Mary’s into it and declaring she feels SAFE with him #and she’s literally singing his praises and he’s accepting them with confidence #and there’s ZERO of Bert trying to ‘convince her’ that he’s a ‘nice guy’ by flaunting those same virtues before #he’s completely attentive to Mary and the kids (and later steps in when Mary’s not around to protect them) #and...there’s no kissing!!! #as someone who gets microaggressions about kissing A LOT just. yeah #(see you can have a romance/romantic relationship without it! HA!!!) #anyway. no you don’t have to ‘seal it with a kiss’ #couples can still be couples without kissing or sex so THERE
