#ex hands down

Sacrificing my free time of the evening to see how Tav the Dracomonk and her squad look like in my (sketchy) style

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #larian studios #dragonborn #astarion #karlach #lae'zel #shadowheart #wyll ravengard #gale waterdeep #fanart #for my lop ppl i still have a wip ongoing for it but i'm waiting for my schedule to calm down to return to it #apologies for being so inactive since the year began I'VE BEEN BUSY W WEBTOON #and the only free time I have i'm using to not draw fghsdfgh #but tonight i sacrificed mine for these doods and the out of context spoilery one is the real inspo #gotta love my baby tav insta going //hands on hips// when astarion tries to be evil #coughs also she is one of his exes coughs #i just realized while sketching that I accidentally did my Tav a medieval Tachyon Dragon #TEN YEARS SINCE ZEXAL AND TACHYON STILL LIVES IN MY SUBCONCIOUS and my icon here

One of my absolute favorite “cliche” tropes is amnesia fics where reader has been dating character for years, but they forget and then they can only remember dating their ex. So it’s like they go back to the ex because it’s all they’ve ever known, and their current love has to cope with seeing the love of their life in the arms of another guy.

I could read that trope a million times over and never get bored or think it’s too repetitive.

#bonus points with him trying to help you remember but not wanting to like scare you or freak you out??? #and even better for like Sanemi when there’s no phones or cameras to show text messages??? #or photographs #and he REGRETS not writing you letters so badly then sigh #or like Bakugou not giving up but like caring about your welfare so much that he just kinda watches you with your ex? #cause he’s seen you in the hospital for weeks/months and knows how shit it’s been for you? how sad and lonely you’ve been #and he missed seeing you happy— even if this time it’s at the hands of another man #but he subtly leaves you gifts like your favourite flowers??? #like maybe it sparks something inside you? because you tell everyone your favourite flowers are roses #but you find fresh tulips on your bedside table each morning after he visits? and it like grabs at something at the back of your mind??? #or he brings you coffee and he’s somehow the only one that gets it right??? but it’s something you’d never order? #like you ask for oat milk but he brings it with coconut milk and it just tastes better? and you’re like I didn’t even know I liked this??? #and your ex is just like ‘she likes oat milk’ like MATE NO WE DO NOT #I WILL EAT THIS UP WITH A SPOON AND WOLF IT DOWN YOU HAVE NO IDEA

i got your hand, you got my shoulder

you take the lead, i'll follow you around

you'll always have someone to hold you

we'll figure this out

#love notes #exes #one day #down by the beach waves lap at our feet #as we whisper lovely words hand in hand #you said baby you're sweeter than sweet next to me #why don't we make a promise to make this last #i looked back at you stared deep into your eyes #i could've sworn i saw God looking back #i said baby i promise i'm here til the end #just promise it'll always be just us in the sand

In all honesty, they hadn’t been enemies at the beginning, not until Shen Qingqiu had pitted them against each other. Then they became rivals. But it’s an old, old trope and Ming Fan is tired of fighting. Each go-round is the same thing, each life a painfully familiar path, no matter what changes. Sometimes he lives, sometimes he doesn’t—sometimes at Luo Binghe’s hands, sometimes not.

Those times are the worst, because Ming Fan can never forget those large, horrified eyes watching him die.

#svsss #bingfan #luo binghe #ming fan #svsss art #my art #I just really really like a regressing ming fan #he knows the shit that went down and how he died and how the end of the world came at LBH’s hands #so if he changes up his bungling the guanyin jade situation and manage to return it to the little twit it should be cool right? #right?? #and each life something else changes but the outcomes are the same #imagine the trauma of remembering your own death and seeing the aftereffects on the ones you love #my ex the king I’m lookin’ at you 👀 #butterfly effect my beloved #up for debate if LBH remembers as well

i keep feeling like. there's something parallel between rose and yaz's endings. maybe parallel isn't the right word -- but i keep wanting to draw comparisons, i think because they're two characters who really defined specific doctors and for whom it's basically confirmed the doctor returned their (romantic) feelings

(they're not the ONLY ones who fit this description, but i'm in no way qualified to talk about clara or even river, so bear with me)

it just feels. i don't know. rose never leaves on purpose. she is separated from the doctor, forcibly, every single time. the doctor sends her home, or she gets stuck in an alternate universe, or the doctor leaves her in the same alternate universe. every single time, she fights to get back to the doctor. the writers had to create a perfect happy ending for her (half-human version of her doctor who'll age along with her, in the alternate universe where her father is alive) because otherwise she wouldn't stop fighting to get back to the doctor, and the show can't have that. the show needs to move on. we need rose to fade into the past.

i haven't seen all of yaz's episodes, but her arc seems very similar from the limited amount i've seen. she keeps fighting to get back to the doctor. she's in love with the doctor, and the doctor basically confirms returning her feelings, albeit in a very stilted, hesitant, doctor-y way (compare "imagine that happening to someone you--" with "and if i was going to, believe me, it would be with you").

but when yasmin's doctor regenerates... yaz is just expected to. step away, go back to living her life, never see the doctor again. kinda like the abandonment that most companions have ever experienced -- getting dropped off once and then goodbye forever! -- except with more of the onus on her. the show has to move on from rose's era, so she gets dumped on a beach. the show has to move on from yasmin's era, so yaz has to accept that the doctor is going off to die alone. she has to make her peace with that information.

i don't know. i think yaz's ending is trying to go hand-in-hand with graham and ryan's purposeful exit -- it seems like the chibnall era tried really hard to have Not Terrible endings for companions. which is very admirable! but honestly? yasmin's ending feels crueler than most, including rose's. yaz was in love with the doctor. the doctor reciprocated those feelings. they should've gotten their equivalent of s2-era 10rose! she should've gotten a chance to stay with the doctor through their regeneration, the way other love interests have been able to (s/o to river and clara!).

i know this is because of the limitations of the show. bad ratings meant chibnall left after only one regeneration, and new incarnations of the show rarely bring in characters from other eras.

but i'm still very sad for yaz :( like yes, she wasn't just dumped on the curb without warning. but she was still expected to say goodbye to someone she loved, knowing that person was dying, and not say a word of protest. if the previous history of the show is any indication, she's never going to see the doctor again. she doesn't get a half-human version of the doctor to live out her days with, and she's not "allowed" to fight to get back to the doctor, either, due to the way the show's structured (but also the way the doctor talked about them saying goodbye). she has to live the rest of her life knowing that the doctor is out there, perfectly capable of visiting, and the only reason they won't visit is because yaz is from a specific time of their life that they've moved on from.

i know she has the companion support group. and i know she'll move on! she's yaz. she's strong and self-actualized. she'll be okay, eventually. but she has to be okay, you know? she has to learn to live without the doctor. rose never had to do that.

it just makes me sad :(

#doctor who #thasmin #yasmin khan #thirteen x yaz #i guess maybe this post can be summed up by ''yaz is kinda the (nuwho) doctor's first actual ex. and her being an ex makes me sad :('' #sb and l rambles #sb and l watches dw #this post has been brimming for awhile but i sat down to write dw fic tonight and went ''i can't do this without talking about yasmin'' #i'm not criticizing the show necessarily. i know why they had to make these choices. #i think i do prefer for 13 and yaz's ''breakup'' to be a mutual understanding as opposed to 13 leaving her on a curb w/out any warning #they were doing the best they could with a limited hand #it just makes me sad :( and it makes me hope that they mention yaz in the next season #essbie? hoping the show calls back to a love interest that isn't rose?? it's more likely than you think! #i am just so attached to yaz. i didn't expect to be but god she's so great and she just gets dealt such a difficult hand :( #and she copes with it! of course she does! ....but rose never had to deal with that kind of difficulty.

One of the many, many things I loved about "Big Week" was this: the first person Ted asks out on a date is Sassy. There's been a whole lot of drivel from fandom about how Sassy is awful for sleeping with Ted even at times when he's feeling sad, as if it's manipulative or unethical — which is such a goddamn 9th-grader view of how sex among actual adults work — but this episode shows very clearly that Ted is an eager, not to say instigating, participant in their sex-nanigans.

And thanks in part to Sassy, Ted's finally, FINALLY starting to think about dating. In the second season, he makes a comment about "wouldn't it be great if I found my soulmate on Bantr?" but as far as canon has shown, he never even made an account. But I think Michelle having a boyfriend has prompted Ted to look around in earnest. Not, I think, out of a "I'll show her" mentality (a trap that far too many divorced men fall into), but because he's actually thinking about what he wants the rest of his life to look like, now that Michelle will not be sharing it.

I don't think Ted is necessarily thinking about sharing a life with Sassy, either. We know Ted is a romantic, and he likely wouldn't ask anyone out just for shits and giggles; but he's also been friends with serial dater Beard for decades, and has been around soccer and football players to boot. He understands the concept of casual dating, and it's very possible that he would've been fine with casually dating Sassy.

But he's also ready to go further with her if that's what ends up happening; he likes her enormously, finds her funny, appreciates her for who she is. And she likes him too! So I don't think it can be ignored that, when Ted first starts thinking "who would be a good match for me," he thinks of Sassy.

#ted lasso #flo collins #I think she was absolutely right to turn him down flat #I would too! #he's looking up pictures of his ex-wife's boyfriend on Facebook!!! #I don't want to date anyone who's still hung up on the person that came before me #but the fact that he asked her is really significant #even if it's just to show that ted's taste in romantic partners has changed #I'm just saying maybe Ted's type is no longer soft-spoken midwesterners #maybe now it's natural brunettes who are kind of mean in a loving sort of way #(I say natural brunettes because I love rebecca/waddingham but that is a—flawless to be clear—dye job) #which actually covers a lot of people in his life #but you know what? ted may only have two hands but he's got a lotta gumption #believe mothereffers #theodore lasso: work in progmess

So, this just occurred to me.

In your Beta AU, Boscha and Amity are exes, and I wrote Boscha to be...super obsessive over wanting Amity back.

Meanwhile, in canon...

The amount of things that I've written/theorized that wound up being canon in some aspect is honestly. Good lord how does this happen. I wrote Luz with an eyebrow scar in Four Years AU and somehow THAT became canon.

Holding canon Boscha like a wet cat. Gay people will break up without ever even dating and it's the funniest shit

#asks #the owl house #beta au #toh #amity blight #boscha #writing #we're shaking hands!! you got the clingy boscha ex down to a science!!!!

I see the headcanons that Zuko’s totally chill about meeting Suki and marveling at the wonder she is while dating Sokka. But consider that Mai did nothing and was dreading the beach party, but Zuko saw a handsome guy chilling about 10 ft away from them minding his own business and went “ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME MAI!?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING LEAVING ME!?!?! YOU THINK HE’S ALL THAT WITH HIS ARMS AND FACE AND CHEST AND HAIR!?!?!?” and broke a table as revenge.

Like if Zukka are dating when he meets Suki, I fear he’s going to go feral for at least 10 minutes before both of them put him in his place.

Suki: I understand, but Sokka’s sucking faces with you please get that through your thick skull also you ruined my village so I don’t want to hear shit from you

They’re besties in the end tho when Zuko’s calmed down.

#zukka #look I too want the teenage trio to be in harmony with each other they're all assholes and they're great #but Zuko's dumbass #and Sokka will not be putting up with that garbage #sokka: if you can't calm down i'm leaving you and there's a long long list of people who want a piece of Sokka #Yue: Yes they do #Zuko: i....i will fight the moon for your hand #Sokka: I AM BEGGING YOU TO STOP FIGHTING MY EXES WHAT'S NOT CLICKING?????

maybe this was common knowledge and ive been severely out of the loop but the fact that russel t davies is gay is kind of rocking my world rn?

#like obviously his characters were always super fuckin queer but idk there is still something different knowing that like #its not accidental rep its not pandering its not rainbow capitalism #its one of us telling our stories #like. idk how much torchwood criticism ive read that boiled down to 'they all act bi but dont address it' #and then seeing a clip of an interview w him being like 'yeah thats deliberate i thought it was time to bring bi ppl into mainstream #and i think in a world with literal aliens it would get a lot harder to care about gender in the first place to even need to try #and define it' and its like. hello???? why did no one mention this before????????? #like that literally describes 99% of my friends is 'am i gay? am i bi? do i have gender preference at all? fuck if i know i have #bigger issues to think about' #ppl criticized it for being bad representation but like. is it? #is a group of misfits with nowhere else to go and only each other to rely on who have weirdly intense co-dependant #sometimes toxic messy relationships and lots of hooking up not descriptive of like. most queer friend groups #raise a hand if youre queer and arent exes with at least one of your closest friends. yeah thats what i thought #anyways thats all thank you verilybitchy for your doctor who videos im astral projecting #origibberish

Actually, I agree. You're gonna be in your little midlife crisis and you're gonna be: "I wish I dressed like this when I was a kid but now that I'm an adult I can do!" and you'll totally dress up like the way you dress up Daigo... an emo/goth adjacent gay looking person.

Like, let me ask you... how many red and black clothing articles do you own, Snap?

most of my closet is black but thats not even my fault black just goes with everything but we literallyyy DONT have to mention my black-and-red striped long sleeves those are hand me downs. and ones i bought--

#snap chats #a lot of my clothes are hand-me-downs from my ex-emo sister so i was already set up to fumble #I DONT EVEN OWN THAT MUCH RED if i do it's in the form of dress shirts .. or like. accents on graphic shirts 💀 #my school's colors are red too like im literally stuck with a black and red plaid blanket. and pj bottoms. but i owned those beforehand-- #anyway the real thing here is that id never wear skinny jeans. theyre my enemy they make my legs hurt and hug me too tight #i dont like how they shape me .. youre not allowed to remind me of the shape of my lower half ty
