#but it fits so many pairings

[asliceofzosan]

i've seen figure skater sanji and hockey player zoro before. idk if its been explored but i'd love to put it out there:

hockey player sanji (specifically goalie bc he desperately wants to avoid being checked) and then pairs skater zoro.

pairs skater zoro's long time partner has been nami. though many people ship them together a Lot, they just know each other super well. Well enough to try dating and both of them realized they don't swing that way. in fact, it makes them a really good team. they fought long and hard to claim top spots in competitions because they portray a chemistry that's separate from the rest. plus zoro can carry nami like she weighs fucking nothing. so their lifts are so much more dynamic. they even have a whole next to impossible combination that they're trying to get the ISU to name after them officially.

sanji plays for the East Blue Straw Hats in the Grand Line Hockey League – a formidable rookie group that took down lots of big names in the preseason. they want to make it all the way to the postseason playoff finals but always seem to fall short. but theyre so determined. they reignited a lot of old sparks that were no longer there for old fans and brought in new and curious fans. sanji is the starter goalie and a damn good one at that. it makes sense bc goalies are often doing splits on the ice just to make a save. he's perfected the technique that utilizes just his legs to make saves that make the crowd go fuckin insane.

we have the usual "i booked the rink to practice before you did" trope but a little more spice. in actuality, sanji loves watching pairs skating competitions. his favorite pair rn is franky and robin (mostly for robin). and he adamantly does not want to admit to anyone that he watches zoro and nami's routines much more frequently. (and if anyone asks, he always says its bc of nami. its never just bc of nami.) and zoro's besties with luffy so he always watches their matches even if he barely understands the rules. and he definitely does not stare at a certain blond starter goalie most of the match thats fucking ridiculous

one day zoro and sanji are invited to do one of those comparison videos between hockey players and figure skaters. both get to laugh at the other even Attempting to do their sport. zoro frankly looks ridiculous in all of sanji's usual goalie get-up. and sanji couldn't land an euler to save his life. the video producer suggests they try a simple pairs skating routine. sanji is like "oh i couldn't do that–hEY WHAT THE FUCK MOSSHEAD PUT ME DOWN" because zoro lifted sanji and had him sat on his shoulder like it was normal.

zoro smirks, "you might be lighter than nami, actually. wanna be my new partner?"

sanji knees him in the stomach before skating away while blushing so hard he could melt the ice beneath him.

#listen #both figure skating (most especially pairs skating and ice dancing) AND hockey were my hyperfixations at one point #and zoro? built like a pairs skating man #sanji? has the ass of a hockey player #iT MAKES SENSE TO ME ! #but also the dichotomy of zoro doing a graceful sport and sanji in a fast paced brutal game #idk man im too tired to psychoanalyze why i think pairs skating actually works well with zoro's philosophy on strength and balance #and sanji's phobia of being checked tied to many little league games that led him to become a formidable goalie #i COULD GO ON #But i will sleep instead #one piece #sanji #roronoa zoro #zosan #niki's log: op #niki's fics: checks and balances #dO YOU GET THE PUN IN THE TITLE GOD IM SO ANNOYING !!!!! #lowkey my contribution to zosan week even if it might not fit any promprs #i just wanna feel included

Favourite relationship trope (romantic or platonic):

Clingy Character A who has always been told they love too intensely and overtly & Character who doesn't know what it is to be loved unconditionally, surprised and awed and overjoyed at being loved so shamelessly so Character B

#my posts #tropes #i was thinking of platonic obi-wan & anakin (in an ideal fix it world where anakin doesnt become a forest fire) #but it fits so many characters #steve harrington and eddie munso #*munson #(or steve and dustin!!) #tim drake and connor kent #(or any tim drake pairing lbr) #hua cheng and xie lian #i could go on #bonus points if other characters are Highly Concerned by their behaviour #i love weird little stalker tim drake and he deserves someone who loves and accepts it too

having a normal one watching Bdubs lim life tonight and thinking about how when Bdubs betrayed Tango in last life, Skizz told Tango that for the sake of team best he had to go and forgive him.

But when Bdubs boogey kills Skizz in lim life before team ties is even really formed, Skizz is allowed to have it out for Bdubs for almost the entire first half of the season, even when the clockers ally with them and it would've been easier to let sleeping dogs lie.

Tango, the perpetually extraneous and undervalued member of his alliances...the too often shoved aside and betrayed...being told it was his duty to the team to forgive bdubs and move on....

But no one—especially not Tango—tried to tell Skizz to let it go.

#and like. now im thinking about how no one is ever really ride or die for tango. ever #people are allied with him but no one PRIORITIZES him #as a team rancher fan myself id be tempted to argue Jimmy is but you can just as easily point to how that was in a way self serving #and I dont just mean with the soulmate mechanic so worrying about tango was worrying about himself for jimmy #but i mean it in the way of jimmy was so worried about tango because #jimmy was worried about HIMSELF being the thing that hindered him and dragged him down #whihc is not to say that jimmy didnt also worry about tango #but it is to say that the dl rule set played heavily on jimmys insecurities and fears #he was most of the time worried about himself. YES because of how that affected tango. but also because it served his guilt complex #and so his intentions were colored by that as someone whos incredibly willing to make himself the problem whenevr he sees fit #whihc is again nothing on him hes my fave ya know i love the guy #i just mean even in double life where by design it shouldve happened tango wasnt made anyones top priority #not in the way that we come to see it across many other pairs. not in the obsessive worrying about his safety #or just in the general Being Weird About Each Other Way #sure you could argue skizz and tango last life...tango was for a while skizzs priority—until skizz shifted his sights to team best #even when team best wasnt giving their all backt o him that was skizzs focus #and if tango were really his priority over the wellbeing of the team such as it was for bdubs and etho #skizz wouldnt have tried to make tango forgive bdubs after he was betrayed #skizz wouldnt have kept asking tango to give more and more to a team he got little if not nothing out of over and over.....just #GAH! NO ONES EVER DEVOTED TO TANGO!!! NO ONE EVER CHOOSES TANGO TO BE THEIR //PERSON// THEIR. HES NEVER SOMEONES TOP PRIORITY #again im nto saying teh ranchers werent devoted to each other you know i love them more than anything in the whole world #i just mean. not in exactly the way i mean.... #and not completely when jimmy was so (understadnably) preoccupied with trying not to carry on his curse again #especially while attached to someone else #worm says

................. not to rain down on anyone's parade but barely characterized 14 year old lucerys could never have the swag eleanor or henry had

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #again you do you per carità i'm not here to judge anyone's taste because then i'd be a fucking hypocrite #but this still made me laugh #maybe because i never really understood the hype around luke/aemond. i mean i get it on a intellectual level #but there are so many juicier pairs in hotd that while i understand why people would ship it i'm not sure why it's so popular #no hate to the pairing or anything of course. you can ship whatever you want! #but this reeks of the usual inflated m/m ship with one (or two) fictional men with weak or barely acknowledged characterizations #while incredibly complex female characters (at least in comparison) are JUST THERE #again this is not a hate post about the ship or slash pairings (OBVIOUSLY!!) #but still. in any case the eleanor/henry dynamic fits better with rhaenicent or maybe daemyra tbh #like... even when i love a ship with all my heart i wouldn't assign *every* possible au to them but only those who fit their characters bes #if my otp is a etl ship i wouldn't want to read or write a childhood friends to lovers au because what i like about them #is that they fucking hate each other's guts and perpetually try to kill the other (before falling in love... and sometimes even after) #if a pairing is more p&p like i really couldn't get into a wuthering heights au even if i'd recognize it's magnificently written #because that's not what these characters and their dynamic are. it would be projection #at this point i would prefer to read/write about two ocs ngl #again in fandom you can do whatever you want i'm no one and i could never tell you what you can or can't like. that'd be ridiculous #and idw the op of that post to feel bad about it. it's just my personal preference/opinion on fanworks that's all #val speaks #val rambles in the tags #txt

redraw of that one pic except it’s whatever these three got going on

still thinking about when I saw someone on instagram say that midnight rain by taylor swift can't be applied to logan (sunshine) and rory (midnight rain) and only works for rory and jess (with jess as midnight rain), not for shipping reasons just because rory apparently doesn't have the depth to represent midnight rain....... like sorry but if you see the protagonist of a 7 season coming of age show and go "no she's not complex or deep, only this guy who shows up in a couple of seasons is" then that just sounds like a skill issue to me :/

#obviously i am a rogan girlie so a song that references jumping off things AND a difference in views on marrying?? immediately them #but i get that if you're not into them as a pairing you're probably not gonna vibe with that so much #and i'm not even particularly opposed to the reading of it with fitting jess' perspective (the whole my town was a wasteland thing works) #but if you suggest it because rory doesn't have enough depth???? just wrong #wild how people will be like 'ugh rory makes so many mistakes and has so many flaws as she grows up i hate her' #and then in the same breath be like 'well actually she's just sunshine she's not deep or complicated' ??? #talking #gilmore girls

i literally can't even look at the clothes that i was wearing for the last two (and even one) years. like first of all they dont fit and are stretched all to hell as well from being worn anyways but damn!!!! even looking at them just takes me back and makes me feel sick to my stomach and i literally want to puke it's so visceral.

#i literally threw out so many clothes already. esp this one pair of pants that towards the end was one of the two pairs that fit me without #extreme pain and i was forced to wear them 5x a week because they dont make those pants anymore and they were soooooo threadbare #anyway i got jumpscared by a pair of those same pants on poshmark last week and i literally was sick to my stomach i wanted to hurl fr #anyway i have GOT to acquire a new wardrobe while i still have the drive to do so i need that fresh start with my clothes and attempting to #learn how to trust and not resent my body again. like i dont even think i should be seeing a single piece of clothing that makes me remember #that shit was soooooooooo bad i let myself be in pain for way too long

[lesbianlenas]

have a recruitment event at my school tomorrow that i have to dress professionally for & i put on what i was planning to wear to make sure i look ok and when i say i am serving……just stared at myself in the mirror for like 5 mins repeating saying wow….i’m serving.

#michelle speaks #thankfully the one pair of pants i own that fit me (it’s actually 2 pairs now but besides the point) #are my nicest professional pants 🤩 and i look so good in them….ngl……. #if u got hired by serving the most i promise u i would be getting so many job offers. ONLY by lesbians though……

[timbourinedrake]

This is literally their song and I'm so emotional about it-

#oh you thought i was off my brutalia bs??? #well i'm here to say its never left #i have to stop myself from crying about them when i listen to this song in public it's BADDDDD #They're literally so canon it hurts #there's just something about loving someone and cherishing the memories you have with them #but with a bittersweetness because you can never get back those moments #and that is what brutalia is all about #i could put so many more lyrics that fit them from this song #but i don't have the time to find comic panels to pair them with #aka the best one of them all 'now you're a family man.....////are you the hero of my dreamssssss' #brutalia #bruce wayne #talia al ghul #dc #batman

I felt sad so my friend surprised me with my favorite frappuccino & we went thrifting together, peace & love on planet earth ☮️

#field notes #& we went to hmart afterwards & I got some new snacks to help cheer me up #& she offhandedly said I was smart & knew so many random facts #& I found A LOT of cute clothes... like $101 dollars worth #but they're some of the cutest dresses ever sooooo what was I supposed to do #& she found a pair of levis in her size & it's always really hard for her to find pants that fit her bc she's really short #and we're gonna watch barbie together #and oppenheimer #I didn't think she'd be interested in that one but I mentioned wanting to see it & she REALLY wanted to see it so :D #and I'm almost done building my lego catfish

[hikeyzz]

i don't like my body changing outside of my control!!!!! i don't like it i don't like it i don't like it. i know some people would be grateful but i'm not. it's freaky and uncomfortable.

#trying to avoid saying the triggering things in the post itself #tw for tags #weight loss & body image #you don't have to read on pls just tend to yourself however you need #but yeah i just put on a pair of pants i haven't worn in a couple months and they used to barely fit and now they're actually loose on me #i have lost quite a bit of weight without trying because of health issues #i can love my body at any size and part of me likes seeing myself at this size again like i'm back to the size i was a couple years ago #but its the fact my body is changing like against my will and i can't really control it #but if i say 'i'm losing weight and i don't like it' people act like i'm ungrateful bc so many people wanna lose weight and whatever #like imagine if you woke up and your hair was changing colors on its own. and you say 'i dont like it' and someone says hey be grateful #yeah it might look good on you but you didnt choose it and like thats not supposed to just happen without an explanation?! #losing weight quickly and being concerned about it isn't looking a gift horse in the mouth #hikey

I wish people utilized the "jealous of both parties" trope more in poly pairings.

Imagining being jealous of both sides of a happy couple knowing they both make each other happy when you'll never cross their minds. Struggling to combat your feelings and bisexual crisis because really it's not your place to feel anything and you're not a fucking homewrecker. And even on the off chance you ever got a chance with either of them, it still hurts because you want a chance with both of them and that confuses and upsets you.

Imagining that couple both having reciprocal feelings for you and not knowing how to navigate that as a couple. It almost tears them apart because they feel terrible for feeling the way they do until they both open up about their feelings, realizing that it's not just them and this doesn't mean the end for them.

Imagining that couple coming together after plenty of healthy conversations and deciding to start making moves on you. Imagining you being a blushing mess and convincing yourself you're reading into things until they invite you on a date. Then they kiss your cheeks. They tell you you're pretty. One date turns into two. Two turns into ten. Then suddenly you blink and you're sharing a bed with both of them, wondering how you got so damn lucky.

I don't know. Makes my poly heart beat a helluva lot faster.

#cassie talks #steddissy #metalsandwich #tigercheerfreak #this could fit so many pairings.
