James trying to be romantic: you're like the Juliet to my Romeo

Regulus: great, so we're going to die tragically?

James: thats how it ends!?!

Regulus sighs: what did you think happened?

James: I dont know! Taylor Swift made it seem sweet-

Regulus holds back a laugh: I love you, you absolute moron.

I see way too many fics where Caitlyn is cool. Arcane Caitlyn has a conspiracy board on her floor, no friends we see of her age despite being one of the richest people in Piltover, and sucks at making conversation. This is loser erasure and I will not stand for it. In this essay I will—

#look let's be real #arcane caitlyn would not be cool in a modern setting either #especially not a high school one #she would be listening to true crime podcasts and failing at flirting with girls okay #arcane #caitlyn kiramman #caitvi #i want a fic where she goes to vi for charisma lessons #i will allow caitlyn to be cool when she's being a class traitor but that's like it

nancy’s type is being into dorks 🥺💖

#ronance #robin buckley #nancy wheeler #stranger things #we dont talk enough about nancy being into dorks #exhibit a: (past) lame-o steve #exhibit b: drowned cat jonathan #exhibit c: (now) rambling robin #and i just feel like #it'd be funnier if robin is oblivious to nancy's pining #because according to robin #nancy is the straightest goody two shoes #with the affinity for guns #but nancy is over here #trying to flirt and failing #because she never had to flirt with someone #OBLIVIOUS AND ALSO FRAZZLY AF #before #and her type of flirting is #factual with the occasional joke #that doesnt land because of her tone #i think its hilarious

it always sounds insane to me the thought that qCellbit and qRoier would get divorced, they have been married for almost a year and already act as if they had been married for 30 years but still flirt like a teenage couple do you really think they will get divorced? XD

#qsmp #that's crazy #they never fail to amaze me how perfectly married they can be #bickering and flirting all the time #that being said bring q!roier back right now #sometimes i choose to pretend that doied doesn't exist to deal better with reality but i can't stand it anymore #guapoduo #spiderbit #q!roier #q!cellbit

lmao why does SEGA keep pushing the sonadow agenda

I mean, I'm not complaining but ???? 👁️👁️ I know what you are

#in hysterics #Tails going from a little sonadow hater to a full on supporter look at him go #and I can SEE that in a way the intent here is for them to solidify their 'dead-serious rivalry' #and they'll have them acting perfectly on point to serve that purpose but then three seconds later you hear more gay ass flirting #rinse and repeat. It gives me whiplash #is this on purpose?? are they trying and failing miserably to avoid shippy interpretations??...................... is this on purpose?????? #although they're still leaning into Shadow being grumpier than necessary. But what he lacks in friendly characterization Sonic has in spade #he's carrying the whole thing at this point.... but admittedly Shadow also plays into it #the MOMENT they appear and start talking I'm like 🤨🏳‍🌈? #'I don't know... I think my *magnetic* personality is quite.. *attractive* 😏' SHUT UUUUUUUUUP #💀💀💀 #make out already fr #sonadow #victory for Tails #it feels like SEGA is aggressively giving it their all this year #what a pain #CAN I GET A BREAK

man you have no idea the sheer DESIRE to write something about Titanic esque chulwoo AU

The main drill is that Sungs come from a rather wealthy old noble family (courtesy of Ashborn as their predecessor being royal knight or smth), Jin-Woo is a next heir while Jin-Ah studies to become a doctor (or a nurse depending on timeline it happens im not even completely sure with setting but probably og titanic vibe mixed with Korean Idek wheeze) and parents send them on a cruise ship for vacation (and in hopes jinwoo will meet nice noblewoman or any woman since sungs are pretty chill about bloodline)

Then there’s Jin-Chul who’s a ship engineer/captain in training courtesy of navy captain on pension Gun-Hee. Gun-Hee comes from rather humble background but managed to reach rather prestigious position of first navy and then civil ship captain but now he’s on pension, and this man is an example to Jin-Chul that you can reach your dream despite your upbringing. Jin-Chul himself also comes from rather humble background on verge of poverty but money and fame never fascinated him, but ships and sailing did. When Jin-Chul was assigned on Gun-Hee’s ship as a new engineer, Gun-Hee saw talent in boy and unofficially took him under his wing teaching him to be a captain. Then Gun-Hee left (or honestly more likely was forcefully dismissed) and Jin-Chul got assigned as one of engineers/coal workers on this giant ship, but Gun-Hee still sails under his own name as a trader or smth like that.

Cue sailing day and at evening Jin-Woo excused himself since noble parties bore him to death and anyway, evening is beautiful and sea is calm. Wandering around he stumbles upon Jin-Chul doing small repairs and who nearly hit Jin-Woo in nose with his elbow because he came too close without announcement. Jin-Chul stiffly apologizing because he knows how annoying nobles can be but is surprised when Jin-Woo is the one to apologize for being so careless and invites him for an apology tea or coffee since compared to other choices Jin-Chul seems as a perfect company thanks to his sharp tongue, wits and knowledge.

Some day of cruise pass and they become rather close friends, Jin-Woo visits Jin-Chul in lowest decks which surprises everyone here and they have a rather nice drinking and dancing session, while in turn Jin-Woo helps Jin-Chul to sneak in 1st class deck so they can chat and play chess in peace of room (and so he can introduce Jin-Chul to Jin-Ah). Jin-Woo even tries to gift Jin-Chul his sapphire brooch so he can sell it for nice sum of money and get his own ship or even open his own company or smth, but Jin-Chul politely refuses, satisfied with their friendship.

Cue disaster night. Now think about captain being an incompetent prick (maybe even on levels of Costa Concordia captain damn) and fucking up entire probably miss into sure hit (even if Jin-Chul risked it and asked people to follow his instructions despite it being a big ass discipline insubordination but no one really minded because people saw that captain gives shit orders) but since bridge was still under captains command, instructions contradicted, but it still allowed a graze hit rather than direct one. So yea this gets worse, Jin-Chul was in section that suffered from impact and got tore, barely got out of here along with most of his men. Seeing how fast water fills decks he tells people to go higher and himself runs to find Sungs or other people he knows. Apparently he finds panicking Jin-Ah and through dangers of ice cold water and falling construction manages to cross paths with Jin-Woo until they got separated again. They manage to get out of sinking shell that nearly becomes their coffin (because he promised Jin-Woo to take care of and save Jin-Ah no matter what goddamnit), Jin-Chul manages to place Jin-Ah on some drifting wood before starting to sink because of cold water.

Now, I’m a sucker for happy endings despite shit looking really bad, so let’s say Jin-Woo with others on safe boat manages to find shell shocked Jin-Ah wrapped in Jin-Chul’s coat, pointing at water and trying to say something with her teeth chattering and managing to say that he’s drowning, Jin-Woo saying ‘not on my fucking watch’ and jumps after, managing to grab him and drag on surface, man is absolutely freezing with lips blue and not really conscious but still weakly breathing.

ANYWAY they safely get back on shore, they all get medical treatment, Jin-Chul earns himself pneumonia (well fuck his sailing dreams ig), Sungs’ gratitude for saving their children and a fucking trial because captain blamed entire catastrophe on lower deck crew defying his orders and following engineer’s ones and that’s a big ass crime in navy. Things ain’t looking good because they want to prosecute him in shortest time to give people answers who’s the guilty one, Jin-Woo is really ready to throw hands with people, Jin-Chul’s patient explanations through coughs ain’t helping because no one can confirm accuracy of his words and that’s when Gun-Hee himself enters court saying smth like ‘maybe you should interrogate deck staff too to hear what commands captain was giving’ and then our sir proceeds to destroy this captain‘s whole career. Jin-Chul is cleaned of accusations and becomes a sort of a good example semi-legend, but thanks to extreme colds diving he now can’t sail on long distances but fear not Gun-Hee invites him to work for him since Jin-Chul is out of commission and Jin-Woo once again gifts Jin-Chul a sapphire brooch but this time asking if Jin-Chul will share future with him. Jin-Chul honestly having ??? reaction while Jin-Woo with the most deadpan face asks ‘You seriously think I’ll dive into cold waters of ocean at night to drag you on surface and then using my body warmth to keep you alive if i didn’t cared about you???’

#solo leveling #woo jin chul #sung jin woo #titanic au #sort of #okay listen I’m a sucker for good catastrophe stories that have good developing romance #jinchul trying to prevent it by being a badass and MVP #still failing tho but at least ship didnt kiss obstacle directly #jinwoo looking at slightly tipsy smiling jinchul who passionately tells about ships while covered in coal and old repaired clothes: #god I love him so fucking much #jinah staring at these two cringe flirting without realizing it from behind her book #‘man the ultimate form of chess homoerotism mixed with density of idiots’ #she totally approves tho #jinchul smiling and saying dumb things to cheer hysterical jinah on drifting wood even if they both know it’s pointless #it still works and she laughs and slightly calms down so she won’t flip herself in water #jinchul trying his best until his muscles in water give out and he disappears under water when jinah turns away to yell for a boat #imagine her turning back excitedly only to find herself alone #and being a medical student she knows what it means #jinchul having more bonding moments with jinwoo before catastrophe and with jinah in middle of it #ha I got you #now I made myself sad ffs

[robotpussy]

it’s amazing to me that in such a short amount of time they managed to make the bb elite four so incredibly endearing to me… all their scenes just absolutely shine with personality. it’s even better in postgame when you talk to all of them in the league room. these guys are fantastic

#the sv dlc experience #sv dlc spoilers #couple favorite details include: #crispin having a crush on lacey #lacey being all no-nonsense #love her being like ‘read the room crispin!!!’ after you beat kieran #amarys thinking miraidon’s name is ‘agias’ and the mc never correcting her??? #drayton. enough said. that guy is such a guy #crispin being all pouty over. everything #but in a cute way #there’s the failed flirting with lacey but also him being like mannn drayton what’s with the scheming #him asking amarys to give him the flying stuff to make magmortar fly. amarys understandably being like ‘…what? no.’

tell me your failed/embarrassing flirting stories to make me feel better, i’ll go first: today i said “get out of my way” forgot to say “i’m kidding” then immediately said “bye”

#it is awful having feelings for someone you know and have an established friendship with #but crushing on someone i barely know is knew to me and i legit feel like an idiot every time i do something stupid like this #i can’t just. talk to the guy #if i say hey and he says sup i say ‘sup indeed’ like what the fuck is that #i can barely even say hello to him #don’t get me wrong i’ve DONE it but most days i’m like #ah fuck there he is #okay you can do it just say hi #just say what’s up #and then he’s already gone #also. like. the setting we’re in is soooo not good for talking or flirting realt because um. it’s work he’s my coworker.. so um. do i fuckin #ask him for his number?? or to hang out??? but like. he’s kind of a stranger to me what do i want to hang out for 🧍 #but like. ​i dont want to do that until i have at least one successful interaction #or like. an actual conversation. #which is gonna be really hard to manage because he doesn’t talk much at all to anyone and i really only talk if someone talks to me first or #i’ll say something absolutely idiotic and ridiculous (and honestly i do that no matter what) #anyway so um. i guess i’m just gonna keep making a fool of myself until i get it right and hopefully i don’t screw it up 🥴 #i lost all my confidence in the last year and i cant do anything chill or smooth anymore (i was never that good in the first place but at #least i could PRETEND i knew what i was doing. like i could sell it. the whole weird and lost bit.) #anyway. i felt better for like 5 minutes when some guy at the gas station flirt failed with me on the way home. but that’s partly my fault #too oops. in his defense he probably could not see that i had headphones on bc upon mirror inspection they were well blended with my hair #but i was waiting to cross the street and this guy tried to like nod and smile and i did not know it was to me until i got to the other side #where the gas station was and and like. tried again and i awkward half smiled and saw his face get all mushy and confused like mine FELT 20 #mins before when i’d flopped so hard trying to flirt and by the time i’d processed WAIT i think he was FLIRTING WITH ME i was already gone 🤡 #but at least it ended better than the poor 14yo who very confidently asked for my number #who. i shit you not. SCREECHED for a solid 44.5 seconds and bolted the other direction when i said sorry im 21 #his friends were standing there like wtf too and one was like i am so sorry about him 🤦 #cheers to being fools universe

I be getting mad at sitcom couples for taking three seasons to get together as if I’m not currently living out the world’s most frustrating four year long slow burn that might not even end with us ever getting together

#every summer without fail we start flirting and then we almost kiss and then we get amnesia about the whole thing and do it again #we are currently being the most overt we have ever been though so. who knows what could happen #bri speaks

He deserves to show off and feel nice and be praised </3 #At least he'd surrounded himself with good people - the dynamics around which are also interesting #Wally lovely <3 He's so sweet honestly just wants to offer a shoulder if he's able any small bit of comfort #He's injured and he's still trying to hug ZEX weh ;; Any bit of solace ♥ #Xigbar's way of cheering him up is his own kind of misplaced sweetness haha I love the care put into everyone's quirks <3 #Ugh the whole thing of Nobodies trying to (and failing to! To varying degrees) convince themselves that they don't have emotions #Clearly Xig is unbothered by this so it's better to just flirt and not worry about it! It's a shame but it happens to everyone #I see you Xigbar #Really tho him being a bit flippant and silly and tactile with ZEX did seem to help haha #''Let me comfort you'' pfft - sad silliness hehe #And then Dexter showed up!! I was so unprepared for that!! #Honestly I only expected him to come visit The One Time so I was so not ready for him to be here after All This #He made ZEX cry last time and this time he came to it already crying ;; #Ughhughgh ZEX's unshakable trust for DAX - even just his voice - being the breaking point of his self control I jfdlksahfds #Someone he can be weak in front of since he doesn't want to be seen by anyone that way - only to DAX ;;;; #Offering any bit of familiarity as comfort weh I'm fine this is fine ;; #Poor ZEX :( Being so powerless and helpless in this situation is so sad!! At least when he was in the War he was in control to an extent #He only touched his cheek with his uniform later that night which I do honestly love the imagery of soft and tender <3 #I like drawing people holding things fully to their face more than I remembered haha #And then the fact that his roommate changed the same night and it was /Kirk/ of all people fjdslahfdsfd wehhhhh 😭 #Kirk is genuinely the sweetest to him he is absolutely best boy but to have a Captain after all that ;;;; #It cuts so deeply ironic oww <3 <3

Let's be real, Rhyme has, on at least one occasion, gotten so flustered when trying to ask a girl out that she immediately super speed swan dived into a nearby dumpster.

#wordgirl #wordgirl rhyme #wordgirl villains #wordgirl headcanons #Look I saw one fan art of Rhyme wearing a t-shirt that said Oh Man I'm Pan #And I was like yep #Gonna incorporate that into my belief system :) #Rhyme being cringe fail at non platonic relationships because she grew up as a social outcast in her hometown #Completely oblivious to flirting because no one's ever done it to her before #She just thinks they're being nice #And at the same time having NO IDEA how to flirt. #Rhyme being like: Is this a Normal Person Thing????? Am I doing it right???? #I headcanon Reason to be aro/ace #Which unfortunately means he is of zero help #Reason being like: I'm sorry Rhyme I don't know how this works either
