#he’s so head over heels for his man

[akai-anna]

it's been a while on my rewatch, but i'm watching the fake wedding case and... can we just talk about how shinichi's reaction is so different in the anime compared to the manga?

bland. boring. WHERE IS THE FEELING IN THIS. just. No.

THIS THO

SMITTEN. BESOTTED. A TRUE SIMP. JUST LOOK AT HIM. HE'S A BABY YOUR HONOUR. BABY IN LOVE!!!!

bonus: shinichi peeking at ran with a blush on his face at this bit (and ran blushing too, pretty please)

We Were Robbed.

#detco posting #detective conan #anime #manga #shinran #my beloveds #detco watching #la junk talks #the images are from ep 449 and chapter 535 for anyone who wants to know #i'm OBSESSED WITH SHINICHI JUST. HE'S SO IN LOVE? #HE FREAKING BLUSHED JUST IMAGINING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE IN A WEDDING DRESS??? #me just thinking about his face in topical land as he imagines confessing to ran AND ABOUT TO KISS HER IN HIS DAYDREAM? #NOW THAT IS A BESOTTED MAN. SMITTEN. HEAD OVER HEELS. #it feels like we were ROBBED #sometimes i think the anime does a better job than the manga #but not in this particular instance #the fact that you cannot tell at a glance how much of a simp shinichi is for ran is a crime A CRIME!!! #me on my current reread: i will so make a collage of all his simp moments. I SO WILL. *GNAWS ON LAPTOP*

Finished replaying Apollo Justice and I forgot how truly GAY Klavier and Apollo are for each other

#apologies for the poor photo quality my switch was not responding to my phone #but Klavier!!! Man fell head over HEELS for Apollo the moment he saw him JDBBSH #it’s been five year since I’ve played Apollo Justice so I forgot how much they simp for one another #especially Klavier Jdbsbsj like he mentions ladies love him a lot as a rock star but he also keeps talking about Apollo DJNSNE #ace attorney #klavier x apollo #klapollo #ace attorney apollo justice #also the ending!! I’ve forgotten how easily Klavier turns against his toxic brother Kristoph to find the truth #he’s like hell yeah Apollo let’s find the truth together and take my insane brother down 🤝🤝 #like only romantic partners can successfully take down a toxic brother/mentor together KDBSBBEHE

[kaladinkholins]

mizutaigen is literally like. the first "toxic" m/f ship i've ever cared for. cuz like usually my taste in m/f ships is basically "unhinged baddie" x "badass wifeguy" *

* (see:yen/geralt. trevor/sypha. adolin/shallan. kataang but katara is sane and they're literally so wholesome like theyre traumatised kids in love who are each other's emblem of hope in a war-torn world! so basically they don't count. anyway. i'm rambling.)

and to that end my friend called mizutaigen yaoi-adjacent and im like. yeah you're right actually cuz like hell yeah non-binary mizu and bisexual taigen rights and all the gender fuckery in the show in general

but also like.

theres just SOMETHING else about mizutaigen that just GETS me. like there's a special secret sauce like the pheromones in that one sephora lotion attracting spiders and i am the silly spider!!! there's just something about it!!! it's not even the enemies to lovers trope cuz i personally am not even usually into that (obv it's fine if you are. but yk.)

so as i keep rotating these thoughts around i thiiink it's the fact that, yknow, theyre so similar. like i honestly truly think they could be besties in another universe: a kinder universe where taigen was not taught to hate. a universe where mizu was not born a girl in a deeply misogynistic society or half-white in a xenophobic homogeneous society.

yeah now that i think about it that really just might be THE secret sauce!!! like the fact that they COULD be perfect and happy together, if only things were different, if only they werent themselves.

smth v bittersweet about that's just driving me insane and makes me want to root for them to overcome all those obstacles, to say "fuck all that" (re:the world and all its fucked up shit) and find each other in the end. to eventually become each other's fav person and confidant. who obv still bicker and tease and insult each other all the time but they dont really mean any of it and over time it just becomes a running gag between them and no one else has to get it because it's just between the two of them.

#mizu x taigen #taigen x mizu #taimizu #[clenches fist] it's about the POTENTIAL of it all!!!!! #like taigen's last words in s1 being 'we're not done yet' like ?!? has me WANTING to see more. wanting to see them grow with each other #like i want taigen by the end to be ridiculously head over heels WHIPPED and SMITTEN willing to die and kill and just be BETTER. for mizu. #mizu. the person who changed his entire life. his entire worldview. pulled the rug from under him and made him a man forever changed. #to overcome his selfishness so he can be mizu's HOME in a world that doesn't allow her one #i want him to end up deciding like. 'on purpose. im going to love you on purpose.' #and mizu no matter how much she tries to convince herself that she cannot love or be loved. ends up accepting it anyway #love as work and violence but also love as rest and safety #and also bcs taigen represents the ideals of society. him willing to change & grow also represents society's potential to change & progress #LMAO okay sorry i absolutely cannot stop rambling about these bitches the brainworms are insane #bcs i just noticed that other mizutaigen enjoyers tend to also be in the same fandom circles for ships that i just. do not like. at all #and wondered like huh. i wonder why that is. and wondering what makes mizutaigen different #idk just ignore me i dont even know if im making sense my brain is goop from working on my research proposal #shut up haydar #fandom.rtf

I was looking at some genshin clip/meme channel clipping haitham's voicelines abt kaveh pointhing out how much he talks about him. and there's something that caught my eye.

one of the funny things they pointed out was the fact that on "about tighnari" voiceline, he doesn't even mention tighnari's name, and yet mention kaveh BY NAME 4 times (since the video was in english)

...as someone who has time on his hands, I have to look it up to see if it was a localization thing or not........ and........ oh...... oh my god

(here's en line on the first one for reference)

(and here's the cn and jp lines respectively)

#man is HEAD OVER HEELS!!! gayass #haikavetham #haikaveh #kavetham #caluutalks #the fact that haitham never mention tighnari's name in the voiceline is so funny #its an ''about tighnari'' voiceline.... and he never even mention his name #genshin #genshin impact #(the reason i didn't add kr's line is because i don't know any kr and don't want to highlight the wrong thing ans look like a clown) #(apologies for that) #(but if you want to point the kr line out as well then feel free to)

People in this fandom will really look at The Fool, Patience, Lacey, Carson, Sedric, Hest, Davvie, Lecter, Kennit, Ash/Spark, and yes, even Fitz himself, and still have the gall to call it queer bait.

These characters are explicitly queer, their actions impact the narrative, they are well written, and their identities are treated with respect. That is the best possible queer representation you could ask for in any story.

I've seen people on tumblr basing the likelihood of if they read this series on whether or not it's "actually gay" and I'm here to tell you that it is. There are queer characters. There are queer protagonists. And no matter what you see people in the fandom say, Robin Hobb wrote some amazing queer representation in a genre that rarely sees it at all.

EDIT: and I think it's pertinent to note that, no, characters who are questioning or struggling with their feelings about sexuality instead of knowing 100% does not make something queer bait or "less gay"

TLDR;

Queer bait = disrespectful marketing ploy that exploits queer audiences

Queer bait ≠ "my two favorite characters never have sex"

#Fitzchivalry ''i wondered if I lied so that I need not be ashamed of myself'' farseer thank you everyone #quite frankly the disrespect to Robin Hobb in this fandom is in EXTREMELY poor taste #the interview from 2008 before half the series was written where she explains why Fitz would not suddenly be head over heels for a person h #perceives as a man because all of his life he has only had heterosexual experiences apparently means that no queer characters exist #whatsoever in the whole series and Robin Hobb is an irredeemable backwards old lady who can't get with the times. right. #Fitzchivalry ''what were we? Beloved'' farseer #this is actually not supposed to be a debate over whether Fitz is canonically queer or not. he is. ope. #also...I do read Kennit as queer. just cause he is traumatized and his queerness comes out in predatory ways doesn't mean he's not queer. #that's called writing a compelling villain baybee #Hest!?!? thank you Robin Hobb for the evil gays god bless <3 #modern reader: the author didn't describe these characters dicks touching in detail therefore she is homophobic #rote #realm of the elderlings #fitzchivalry farseer #the fool #I really had to get this out of my system guys. thanks <3 #as if Robin Hobb didn't give us the FOOL. nonbinary/gender fluid character OF ALL TIME.

Thinking about being childhood sweethearts with Bakugo.

About first crushes and awkward hand-holding, of stolen kisses and sweaty palms; of realising just how thin the line between ‘like’ and ‘love’ can feel at sixteen.

In the blink of an eye, you’re almost twenty-five with the whole world in the palm of your hand and a partner that you know almost better than yourself. You’ve seen Bakugo grow, helped him, eased his ego and pushed him to be everything you knew he could be and he’s done the same for you. You’re a powerhouse of a couple - almost ten years strong and the envy of all of your friends. There’s no question that there’s so much more ahead of you: a ring, a house and white picket fence, children?

He’s your person and you’re his.

…Maybe that’s why neither of you see it coming.

Falling out of love can be like that.

#saturnssnippets #I really want to write Bakugo falling out of love - just because I think it would ruin him. #He’d fight it tooth and nail. #Refuses to admit that he’s not head over heels for you because he’s always loved you. #He fell hard and fast and he it doesn’t compute in his head that it’s just not there anymore? #There’s been no arguments; no fights; no issues at all so why… Why doesn’t he…. #It eats him up. #Because he loves you. He knows he does. He’s just not sure if he’s in love with you anymore. #Idk. I’m thinking out loud - but badly. #I just don’t know how he’d navigate that situation… Bc you can’t convince me that heartbreak wouldn’t annihilate this man. #He’d rather you throw him off of a roof thank you very much - and if that heartbreak was his fault? #But not his fault because he has 0 control over it? #fuck.

okay i love the emotionally stupid gay men as much as the next guy (clearly) but man it was actually so refreshing to hear, explicitly in repeatable words!, that a character loves the other romantically and undeniably.

like, i get whats happening when characters dont say it in words, right? its been the way of doing things for years for reasons, but nowadays its mainly 'the character hasnt realized how they feel yet' or 'theyre in denial of how they feel' or 'they cant find it in them to say it out loud yet' and hey, those are all fine! theyre so super fun and add to the drama and story

but holy shit to actually hear stede be like 'the man i love is ed' (paraphrasing) like got damn and in the first season too??

just. what an absolute treat. didnt realize i wanted that until i got it. thank you.

#our flag means death #ofmd #my post #tropes #sometimes you just need mfs to be like GOT DAMN YOURE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE #and the drama isnt entirely around them just not saying it ajfjsjdjd #i love wwdits and good omens so so so so so much but man #in wwdits its still basically subtext ajfjsjdj like we KNOW but it hasnt been said AT ALL only shown #like we know those bastards are head over heels and painfully stupidly in love and its soo cute but still. not said #and in good omens. ah fuck. those two are so old how can they be this bad at using words JJSBFND #like I GET IT. its so scary to be vulnerable especially like that. and the context! fucked up context #but even during a confession he cant manage to say what he wants and again i get it but oughh #just. to hear 'ive found someone i love. his name is ed.' GO OFF!!!!! YESSSSSS #i love gay old men oh my gosh i want to be a gay old man

[sbc-moved]

Enough about me wanting him. I want you to know that he wants ME too. He wants me soooo bad.

#he is head over heels and I take zero criticism stario is canon #argue with the wall #when he is out on his adventures he thinks man I wish my wife was here I miss her so much #if he had a Tumblr he would post pictures of me and say ‘she makes me sick to my stomach’ #no he wouldn’t say that but you know what I mean #he’s the kind of guy to throw his jacket over a puddle so you don’t have to get your feet wet #everyday he tells me he loves me he shouts it from the rooftops I’m all he thinks about !!!! #he keeps à picturing of me in his wallet and his heart hurts every second I am away #sorry I’m normal again #self shipping #f/o gush #mario #⭐️🍄you’re my superstar #♡.love letters

Finally finished my anniversary piece, even if it's a couple days late :')

The 14th of January was mine and Heinz' third anniversary! He's been with me since 2021 and seriously, he's made my life so much better. Things haven't always been easy, but imagining that he's by my side helps me so much whenever I'm feeling down or stressed. Falling for him took me completely by surprise, and I never expected my love for him to grow so strong, but here we are. I love all my f/os, but he still earns a special place among them. He's my everything and my heart belongs to him❤️

I hope I can draw more of him and me/Selina in the coming year, since I actually have so many ideas! I want to show more of their story, I want to draw funny and cute moments between them, I want them to be happy and completely and utterly infatuated with each other. Here's hoping for many more good memories together <3

Also an alternate version under the cut because I couldn't decide whether I wanted an actual background or not (but decided in the end that the characters should be more in the focus)

#if there's one thing my future partner's gonna have to put up with it's me being head over heels in love with this guy too besides them xD #(this is /hj btw since I obviously make a distinction between real and fictional ppl but like you know) #my brain's a bit mushy rn so I can't find all the words but I just love this man so much😭💖💖 #I don't know what exactly it was in the end but something in my mind was like 'this one. this is the one I want' #also on another note I'm not sure yet how happy I am with his realistic design but I think he turned out very cute here💕 #f/o: 🚂 #2nd dimension doofenshmirtz #heinz doofenshmirtz #phineas and ferb #across the 2nd dimension #fanart #self ship #self insert x canon #fictional other #self ship anniversary #self shipping #villain f/o #digital art #selniasart

With Molly's love of clothing, he seems the type to like matchy-couples things. Getting to dress Caleb in earrings that match his own, for example. Or maybe ostentatious pattern his own shirt while Caleb has a handkerchief in his breast pocket with the same pattern.

yES!! I think a lot about just how much Tealeaf and Caleb's outfits match at higher levels, and it's just the cutest thing. Especially with Caleb and King both leaning more into the red and black color schemes, it just suits them so well. It looks like they could've literally picked out these outfits together--

But yes, the thought of the Circus Man picking out little matching trinkets for him and his magic man just makes me weak ;; Maybe Molly gifting Caleb the matching sun earring to his moon--something of his that's personal and meaningful and carries a bit of his heart with him. Especially given how Molly's most precious keepsakes were both once Lestera's, I can see him wanting to pass on something he once treasured too. It's his way of expressing love, of hoping that maybe Caleb will have something of him when he's gone (because we know Molly always felt like he was running out of time, that one day Lucien's past would catch up to him--)

Or maybe while looking for spell components, Caleb gifts Molly a particularly lovely piece of amber or a golden pearl, something beautiful and shiny and sure to make his Circus Man smile--

#head full many soft circus man and magic man thoughts #molly would definitely get himself and his magician matching jewelry the whole core of his soul is literally built on being a #romantic and I love that for him-- #also just. the way molly was so head over heels for lestera and kept bringing her gifts and trying to make her happy and just... #love how soft and warm molly is when he's in love--

drawing flustered, love-sick dazai is the true therapy

#like imagine this 181 cm man #he’s so cool and very rarely loses his composure #but then you see him being head over heels and completely flustered bc of some short ginger #(​that shirt ginger is one of my only wills to live) #(the other wills are just dazai kaeya and kazuha) #vinh doesn’t shut tf up

Hot take but I do miss when Killian Jones just sucked. Like when he was real trash of a man you know?

Full blown raccoon will steal your food and hiss and snarl at you if you got to close kind of man?

Was really just poisonous infecting everything he came into contact with leaving it just a little bit worse then before he got to it type of man?

Scheming conniving little rat who could only see as far as his own nose kind of man?

#I don’t stan hubby hook #not because he’s not a good person because he is and that’s great for him but for my own entertainment I wish he sucked #hurt to comfort for this piece of trash man #I love him and I want to see him fail #these can coexist together #and I for one don’t stan that sort of hubbyfication #I wish he was more problematic in the later seasons cuz boy had issues!!! #ouat #killian jones #they hubbified him so much just because the audience were head over heels for him that they made him a love interest #and after that his character just revolved around Emma like she was the sun and I don’t stan that #dare I say I wish their relationship was more problematic #the most problematic thing that happens is that Killian is hesitant to marry Emma and that she forces him to before he’s ready #and I loved that because that’s such a complicated topic that speaks volumes to his character #I just wish there was more of that #anyway

played project diva at the arcade today it is so hard to focus on learning a rhythm game I've never played before when a goddamn beautiful jolly blue asshole is prancing around in the background

#kaito #kaito vocaloid #project diva #project diva future tone #i literally can't take my eyes off of him #he's so wonderful #i meant his in the most positive of ways btw #i'm not even joking when I say i've fallen head over heels and down a flight of stairs for that man
