14 n 16 for punk boys please

14. What is something that never fails to get them excited?

No matter how many times he’s performed, a show will always get Sun all buzzy with excitement. He loves playing, and giving his fans what they want. Meeting up with fans gets him all giddy as well. For Moon, he gets excited about new locations he can explore after the show ends & he’s able to sneak out. It’s always in the back of his mind while he and Sun are performing. He can’t wait for it to be over so he can sneak out and check out all the new scenery nearby.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone has done for them?

Of course, the boys have gotten the occasional “love letter” from their fans, or little heart-themed gifts that they keep. They’re always touched by these things, and they love to tease one another whenever the other receives a gift of that caliber. They definitely know they’ve got simps, lol.

For Moon, there was an anonymous fan who wrote a small song for him, and mailed the sheet music to him along with a letter. It wasn’t a love song per-say, but it touched on how much they looked up to him, and how his music had changed their life for the better. The music had made their life just a little more bearable, and they had wanted to show their gratitude by writing a song of their own for him. He knows the tune by heart from playing it so often on his bass…

For Sunny, he received something similar, though this one’s got a bigger story attached to it.

There was a girl who was a fan of their shows, though mostly she came so that she could meet up with Sunny at the end, during the fan meet & greets. She was a reoccurring sight and Sun grew accustomed to seeing her after all of their performances. They both got along incredibly well, and she treated Sun more as a person than as a celebrity or a machine. He was very fond of her. One day came though, where she said she wouldn’t be able to come to the shows, or reach out to him anymore. Sun was heartbroken over hearing the news, but the two of them were able to say their final goodbyes before she left. She ended up gifting him a CD as a goodbye present, with a recording of her singing “You Are My Sunshine”. It’s one of his most precious possessions, and he’ll listen to it whenever he’s feeling low. He’d never trade it for anything.

#do these things count as romantic #I have no idea #also #the letter that moon received along with the sheet music is the same letter that he keeps in the inner pocket of his jacket #neither of them were addressed so he has no idea who wrote them #and the girl that sunny was attached to never gave a clear reason as to why she left #he doesn’t know what happened to her #ask game #punk! sun & moon #ask k9

soap tries convincing ghost they should pretend to get engaged at restaurants for free desserts, but ghost is vehemently against the idea because when they get engaged (not if), it is going to happen once and it is going to be for real

so then soap asks if ghost would be fine if he tried it with gaz instead and ghost is like. yeah sure. whatever. have fun. bring me something if you’re successful

#they’re both only romantics where it counts #after they actually get engaged (in private) ghost agrees to do the dessert thing one (1) time #if only to appease his fiancé #simon ghost riley #john soap mactavish #ghost x soap #ghoap #ghost mw2 #soap mw2 #soapghost #ghostsoap

I think Jean counted Marco’s freckles from across the room when he couldn’t sleep in the shared barracks.

#pining #that’s the word that best describes his affinity for freckle counting #but he tells himself it’s just like counting sheep #totally not a romantic thing #he definitely doesn’t think about how Marco’s sleeping face is um #really cute #not at all #(Bertholdt has caught him doing this multiple times and supports it)#historia counts ymir’s freckles in the female barracks too #attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin #marco bodt #jean kirschtein #or if you wanna be funky:#marco bott #jean kirstein #jeanmarco #aot headcanons #my headcanons

I'm a huge fan of stories where characters come from such different cultures that it makes it genuinely difficult for them to like. TELL whether they have mutual romantic interest, let alone COMMUNICATE it.

ESPECIALLY especially especially when there are aliens or fantasty species with different physiologies that mean even attempting to perform the gestures of romance from your beloved's culture might not be possible!

-Miscommunication!

-Mutual pining!

- No common playbook to follow! ERGO...having to invent ur own!

Yes its about queerness. Yes its about social scripts and the people who struggle to exist within them. Yes its about the beauty of cultural diversity and exploring new worlds because of LOVE and creating a new language to communicate … together <3

#chewing on this in a chilaios way #as mantisgod said if u do fantasy right it absolutely counts as monsterfucking to date outside your species #i've read really good moomins fic about this. And ATLA and Star wars #fics where people kiss without their partner realising its a romantic thing #date without realising its a romantic thing #PROPOSE MARRIAGE without their partner realising its a romantic thing #the comedy and pathos is just mwah #chilaios

Obsessed with love between diary and devil bc every character seems to think they’re living in a different genre. Xiao Lanhua is convinced she’s in a silly romcom (and she’s right about half the time). To her, Dongfang Qingcang is doing all these things for her because he’s helplessly in love, not because he needs her skill and definitely not because she has any kind of power over him. Lord Changheng is in a palace drama—he’s returned from the war and longs to settle down with the sweet girl who saved him once, but his arranged marriage takes precedence over his true desires. Dongfang Qingcang is in, like, a power fantasy xianxia webnovel, so taking time to care for Xiao Lanhua pisses him off sooooo much. He just wants to skip to the part where he beheads everyone who ever opposed him

#love between fairy and devil #maybe I’ll make another post about this later but it totally cracks me up when a character’s expectations of the genre #are turned upside down. like Lord Changheng COMPLETELY ignores how Xiao Lanhua got stuck in a fucking vibe when she was trying to be elegant #Xiao Lanhua complains about almost dying for about thirty seconds before completely changing focus and thinking only about #the pretty men in her life (good for her)#and. as mentioned above. Dongfang Qingcang is so so angy when he has to do romantic drama things for Xiao Lanhua. collect morning dew.#heat up her room.#count the flowers in the greenhouse. y’know. CLASSIC pill-refining giant-battle power-struggle webnovel stuff #also I’m only on episode five so maybe this framing won’t hold up at all but for now it amuses me to no end #*stuck in a fucking vine #not vibe

"Silk Flowers grow in pairs on small red bushes"

Other archon having twins

Zhobgli is suspicious

(Plus the god of eternity saying his story is not yet over)

“~twin where have you been~”

it’s still pretty interesting that Zhongli doesn’t have a ‘twin’

it is very clear one of the main themes of genshin is family especially between that of siblings (twins)

the traveler is the twin and all of the archons -the main characters of their respective regions have “twins”.

Venti has the nameless bard, Ei and Makoto, Nahida and Rukkhadevata, Furina and Focalors. These are characters that look identical but live very different lives.

A core part of each archon is their relationship with their respective twin. Ei struggled to move on after Makoto died, Rukkha was everything Nahida dreamed of being, Focalors made Furina play a part for 500 years. I am unsure of the dynamic of Venti and his bard but it’s pretty easy to assume he gave his life great meaning and considering he looks just like him he never could move or wanted to forget what he looked like.

So the fact Zhongli doesn’t have anybody with that kind of connection is really odd lol. I've complained so many times like “Zhongli!! where is your silly clone!” and he refuses to answer my calls. Rex Lapis is represented by silk flowers but they grow in pairs but where is Rex Lapis’ pair? Where is the moon to his beautiful sun???

Some people argue a more metaphorical twin for Zhongli is Rex Lapis/the Exuvia. The point of the Liyue archon quest was Zhongli stepping down from a role he has had for thousands of years and considering the way he talks about Rex Lapis/geo archon (he always refers to him in third person) I believe Zhongli sees him as a separate person entirely. So losing Rex Lapis was like losing his twin. Casting his exuvia aka body double on a crowd of people and burying Rex Lapis was Zhongli’s conclusion with his “twin”. He ended his reign and made peace with his life.

But at the same time I feel that interpretation is so ehhhh. Like all of the twins we’ve seen were their own person with their own thoughts and feelings. Like yeah furina and focalors were once the same person but that was no longer the case when focalors brought out the scissors and said act woman.

Let’s get venti and zhongli out of the way cause they are a little weird from the rest of the seven but we’ve never met “Rex Lapis” and then he doesn’t have a human form like the rest of them. We have talked or at least heard the voices of the “other twin” . We met rukkha, we heard makoto and neuvi let us see focalors.

A big part of the archons is their relationship with their other half but Zhongli’s stories most always focus on someone else-a different god a different entity there is just so little of what we know about him comes from his own mouth.

Besides when you look at the visual symbolism then all the archons are represented by the moon and shadows. They live in the shadows of the "twin" if almost haunted by them. They cannot live up to their glory or they are forced to be someone they are not. These 'twins' are the reason for our archon's (hell even the traveler's) existence and journey, it is why they continue forward until they eventually find new meaning in life.

However Morax is always represented by the sun and light, and you could argue that Zhongli is the moon to Rex Lapis’ sun but if you look as his symbols -his golden eyes, the golden light he uses to save xiao and his interactions with the people of Liyue he still holds that warmth.

Next the big revelation for Zhongli was his relationship with Liyue itself, not himself. We could argue that the existence of "Rex Lapis, The Geo Archon" was intertwined with that relationship but Zhongli's narrative is stepping down and taking his hands off Liyue not any personal struggle. If Liyue had failed his test he would've remained the geo archon for the foreseeable future.

That means, Liyue itself is more of his twin, it is something that plays a huge role in his identity and leaving it behind and moving forward is the core of his arc. It is Liyue that made Zhongli play the part of the geo archon, it is Liyue that made him turn on friend or foe if they were are threat, Liyue and its people are the motivation for everything Rex Lapis did. Morax’s love for his people defined every action that he did as the geo archon.

Long story short ehh if push comes to shove I can accept Zhongli's dragon clone as his twin but I would also argue against it because it doesn’t hold thematic weight that the other twins do!

In the end, we can still safely assume that zhongli’s twin has gone awol but then who are they!!! Each archon has a pair that is meant to parallel the relationship between our travelers Aether and Lumine but where is such a twin???

I've talked so much about Zhongli about everything but Ei mentions in her voice lines that she believes his story isn't anywhere finished. She even talks about him in Zhongli's teaser way back in 2020, "in his long life he has met countless people and shall meet countless more still. As they say: waters change course but mountains move not". Its kind of neat the god of eternity says your story isn't over

I may be a delusional zhongli stan but I don't think it is farfetched to say he is veryyy suspicious. We don't know his true form, we don't know the truth of his contracts, we don't know if he's hiding a twin, and the goddess of eternity herself believes his journey will continue forward.

Could he be missing a twin because he's not from Teyvat? What if he lost his counterpart a long time ago? What if we have simply not met Zhongli's twin and the two of them are separated from each other much like the traveler? I always believed Zhongli kind of crashed into Teyvat like a meteor or shooting star and that's why he's kind of weird but it could be possible that Zhongli's counterpart is just not here either long dead or with a different destiny.

Fun fact to add to Zhongli’s weirdness; Did you know Zhongli and Neuvillette are the only playable characters whose constellations are different from their character quest? Zhongli's constellation is Lapis Dei but his story quest is Historia Antiqua, much like Neuvillette's constellation is Leviathan Judicator but his story quest is called Diluvies. Which is weird cause Venti has the same constellation as Zhongli (Carmen Dei) but Venti's quests line up. Like is it a dragon thing but why?

Then most of the original archons croaked during the cataclysm and Venti went into a coma. How did Zhongli get out of the damn thing unscathed? Why didn't he lose his twin or die and shit?

I know in my soul Zhongli is hiding the secrets of the world in that pretty little head of his. He's just a bum and refuses to share it with the crowd.

#zhongli #archons #genshin impact #noooo #this is too long again #this was definetly a yap session #but like really though where is his twin!#where is zhongli 2 #like ive seen so many people at least on twitter say zhongli's twin is his exuvia and like *shrug* SURE I GUESS #but its still so different from the others UNLESS you count the exuvia as Liyue itself which is rather metaphorical then the physical twin #speaking of which what the fuck is the god of contracts #freedom eternity wisdom justice war and love are all common abstract concepts and normal things for gods to be #what the hell is contracts like if it were truth or power or even promise that would make sense #but contracts are not nearly as abstract as the rest of them fuckers #maybe if it were relationships instead of contracts but that sounds rather romantic doesn't it?#me writing this: uhh where do i put a page break this time #long story short he's weird!!!#zhongli is super weird!!!#why is all his fucking shit cubes!#also if we consider zhongli and exuvia a twin what fucking parallel is that to traveler UNLESS you look at it as the final stage #and you know during the lantern rite event paimon writes a little blurb about the regions and is like we've been through the land of winds #and for liyue it is the final destination of a star SEE HOW i can connect this back to star!zhongli but also the traveler is a star #maybe the end of the traveler's journey is letting go of their twin like zhongli let go of liyue

There was something so heartbreaking about how scared of being alone Basim was when he realized he would never see Nehal again. She might not have been real, but she was real to him and to me 😔. There was terror in his voice when he asked if he would be alone. Nehal was his best friend, his past and present. She was his constant companion throughout his childhood, a time when he probably felt very alone. His father is dead and he has to find a way to survive. He is alone. No parents, no brothers, no one. Yet there was Nehal. The one who he could always find. The one who kept him company. The one who kept him grounded and focused on important things. It was her face he saw when he awoke from his nightmares. It was her who comforted him and tried to help him get rid of them. It was her who appeared when he felt alone or conflicted. She was there when he needed her the most. At Alamut, he was never really alone. He was surrounded by people who encouraged him and cared about him. But when he left, she was there for him. They may have drifted apart, but you can't deny that they still loved each other (platonically). They had differing opinions and motivations, but they would still find peace in each other's presence. Their friendship was one of devotion and care for one another. There was never any fear that Nehal would abandon Basim. She always told him that she would never leave him and stay by his side forever. No matter where he was, he knew Nehal was out there. He knew she would be back in Anbar. She was his home, everything familiar to him. The part of him he could never leave behind. The part of him that would haunt him if he had not gone searching.

Now, he will never see her again. He will never talk to her again. He will never joke with her again. He will never hug her again. He will never rest knowing she would be there to wake him if he had a nightmare again. He will never hear the words he so desperately needs again. He will never be able to return to Anbar and find the house inhabited by a familiar face again. She is gone, and he will be alone. Not even a mentor to guide him. With Nehal's "death," Basim also died. He is now Loki, with all of his rage.

While Nehal was the manifestation of Loki and her appearance was concurrent with Basim's nightmares and him getting closer to the truth, that isn't how he saw it !! He associated her with comfort and home !! He never pieced it together. Why would he? His feelings were real and genuine. They were the truest besties ever

#basim and nehals friendship was so... pure??#it was never romantic and their personalities clashed a bit at times but they still stood by each other when it counted #sorry im insane about them that scene was so sad to me #Nehal is real to me. she is still there in Basim's mind >:( fuck the canon !! never leave my boy alone !!!! thats why hes mean :(#i do wonder if Basim can still see her or even hear her #because they fused and Basim remembered Loki's memories but Nehal also said he would never be alone #maybe she meant it in the form of never feeling alone and no longer struggling with his jinni #its so vague to me #that ending ruined me. they put their whole ubussy into that #it did make me feel things :( it made me sad :(#give basim his bestie back NOW. or perhaps even make her like mirage basim. there to remind him of who he also once was #the person he couldve been if he hadn't remembered #ac #ac mirage #ac mirage spoilers #assassins creed mirage spoilers #assassin's creed mirage spoilers #assassins creed spoilers #mirage spoilers #basim #basim ibn is'haq #nehal #basim ibn ishaq

Merrill misses the nightly lore/stories Marethari told around the fire.

When she mentions this to Hawke, they invite her over in the evening to read her a book in front of the fireplace. She falls asleep right there on the floor and sleeps better than she has during all her time in Kirkwall.

#i also imagine Hawke to have lots of boring or silly books merrill would not pick on her own #but it doesnt matter. its the ritual that counts #Hawke could tell her about their boring ass day and as long as its near the fireplace she's content #also is this whole thing platonic or romantic you decide #to me Orev is just. her big bro. and he loves her so much #rolls her up in a blanket and carries her to the guest room #but with a merrillmance wow. the potential to have her snuggle up against Hawke as they read to her. is getting to me #merrill #dragon age #txt #(idk if this is even a thing dalish do but it sounds cute and like a nice evening. so.)

I need to fucking kill those writers Im no longer joking

#thinking despite myself about the mk12 invasion stuff.#what a fucking scummy thing to do to hanzo. not only doing this to him but also writing him *this* way #and someone called out the misogyny for harumi and theyre 100% right. her being a mere object is no longer subtext. its just text.#they never cared about her as a character and I KNOW we knew that deep down. but it feels so bad to actually see her used as a setpiece #unless she shows up in the storymode and get fleshed out before getting with fucking kuai liang. but even then.#its a distorded version of her character. she's not ACTUALLY “harumi” as kuai is not actually scorpion when for 30 years hes been sub zero #and as for kuai in this fucking love triangle scenario im pissed off as well but for personal reasons so it doesnt count.#god this sucks sooo fucking bad. when I said ages ago I wouldve liked a scorpion return to villainy this isnt what i fucking meant #when I wanted to see more harumi this isnt what I fucking meant #when I half-expressed a want to see kuai romantically involved with SOMEONE *wink🏳️‍🌈wink* THIS ISNT WHAT I FUCKING MEANT #tagging later

Me, naive, yesterday: you know what? I wanna know about Connor my little cringe fail clone boy kon-el, for him I will break and read comics

Me, now, frustrated beyond all known human limits: it’s all about selling as much as possible that’s why I’m forced to have two tabs open just so I can get one guys story

#the pacing is lightning fast which I assume it because it assumes I’m reading weekly and thus real life time would be counted into the #romantic relationships I can’t even in good conscience call subplots #i fully dont think that anyone told the titans that kon was a clone they just got that plot info beamed into them #brother manga would be the most likely to do this to me out of the three East Asian countries comics I regularly read #and I don’t think manga would do me like this either #also and this is important here #i have heard not a single good thing about the new 52 but I will dig my way though it’s corpse for kon #if someone is a superboy expert PLEASE save me from this hell
