i think its whatever but fanon has destroyed it for me

#im srry but at the end of the day sonic would never settle down and date i think #hes too aroace in most universes for me #except fleet that one is a closeted gay #but even on top of that dating just isnt him #hes too busy being a hero or wtv #and shadow well #i dont think its really him either #hes too complicated for that too #idk man you have to either butcher their personalities #or jump through unprecedented hoops to get to a place where they would even consider dating eachother #which is why fanon kinda rauined for me #plus people can get reaaaaaaaaly annoying about it #im brancing for impact for the new sowic prime s3 drop #they both have too much aroace swag for me honestly #i actually used to like it casually #but idk man just doesnt click in my head #i like them having a rivarily flirting thing thats funny #but mostly platonic

omg, so re: a sad sweet anon in my box who was worried that i divorced the boys forever; they're FINE, baby!!!! i promise </3333 it was just a really bad, fucked up month and they're Fine after that (unless i create some other problems, but for now i will spare you)

BUT THEY ARE FINE, MY LOVE!!! SWEARSIES!!!!

i promise you that that on the night jerseykyle gets in that nasty bar fight defending ravenstan's honor (in his absence) against a band of idiot incel transphobes and shows up on their old apartment door step all broken and bloodied before he gets reluctantly tended to and patched up by punk rock nurse ravenstan via several hello kitty bandids...at the end of that exchange, they get back together. c':

kyle also says i love you. <3333

it's kind of a lot for me to speed run entire scenes because they take so long, but just for you, petal, i'm gonna try and get you the sparknotes on the ravesey reunion asap. and please know that as emotional compensation, in lieu of the jersey can't say i love you ask that i was never able to finish/threw into other answers...

i will instead be writing you...

the jersey CAN say i love you ask!!!!! eeee!!!

it's very cute; i'm excited about it.

tldr; ravesey is fine, i'm sorry for scaring you. :'c i promise!!!! i am a hurt comfort writer even though no one believes me!!!! i'm just so much better at the hurt part than the comfort, but i'll comfort you!!

so please hold darlings, and rest easy knowing that.

people will see two characters who are good friends ... best friends even ...live in each others pockets ... are incredibly important to each other and a really lovely and sweet and very simple example of friendship being important and fulfilling and meaningful and beautiful and not "just" friendship because there is no such thing... and then they will turn around and they haven't even finished the previous sentence before being like Oh but if this one wasn't a lesbian she would be in love with her male best friend and vice versa. obviously. or he has feelings for her but he "let them go" because she's a lesbian if she wasn't though they would date. in fact if this was a magical world where he was a girl all along they would be in love because all that stuff i said about friendship and importance was actually just words ?!

and like beyond the sheer lesbophobia and sheer CRUELTY for him to even consider either of them in that light on a regular basis i would honestly prefer people own the fuck up to what they're apparently trying to say here and fully commit to going "No, i DON'T actually think friendship that stays platonic and that factor of it will NEVER change can be equally important or MORE SO as other kinds of relationships and in fact i don't think the very idea exists i was just saying all that stuff about platonic nonromantic soulmates to just say it". right before the apparent mission statement of so many that is "if a lesbian is friends with a man i think her sexuality is getting in the way in one way or another". i wish you people just literally got your phones taken away and a parental lock put in place.

#i wish when you blocked people it hurt them. #he. and obv you know who i'm talking about. DOES NOT HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER #and she. DOES NOT HAVE AND NEVER HAS AND NEVER WOULD AND NEVER COULD HAVE FEELINGS FOR HIM #you're NOT going oh in another life we would've got married if i wasn't gay you're not DOING that #you're being WEIRD. STOP IT. ITS SO FUCKING EASY 😭😭😭 #if you seriously can't conceptualise any of those dumb hypotheticals where he's like a girl the whole time or shes Not a lesbian #where the end goal isn't ''oh so they can date now :)'' it's.... so they're still friends.... THEN YOURE INSANE ‼️‼️‼️ #AND POSSIBLY FUCKING EVIL‼️‼️‼️ #so they ''CAN'' date now sends shivers up my spine #this is what i mean when i say i hate that codependent shit now. no one can be normal about it and now i hate it all #i'm going to make anti codependent hcs to put negativity out there to balance it out. i don't think steve knows her last name #also anyone who thinks steve as of s4 has any sort of feelings for robin that is literally so gross 😭 why would you even like him if you #thought that. case in point and i'm NOT even exaggerating here that is what people who Hate steve say #as proof for hating him. cuz they think he has feelings for her. which is something you would hate him for #also literally do not doubt me for if some reason in s5 he says and acrually means ''i have feelings for robin still'' i would .. stop #liking him... it would be easy..... #sts #anyway. this isn't about trans content either that's a whole other . Thing. which i don't really care about right now

So when I've been complaining about even fanfiction not being romantic enough, part of what I mean by that is that people take huge, gothic characters in pairings with gigantic, dramatic stakes full of titanic emotions and then make them feel small and mundane. Stripping the very romanicism from the bones of the romance.

There are many things that are deeply appealing to me about B&tB pairings or 'unlikely' pairings or Gothic romance in general, but something that is less structural while still being absolutely key is that it's not an easy relationship to get the characters into. It's not something that would happen under ordinary circumstances for either person. It's not a bond that can be forged without some form of pressure preventing these people from continuing in their regular patterns.

If you're writing an E/C fic where you start from scratch, the moment they so much as touch for the first time should be absolutely show-stoppingly prodigious. It can never be casual, not between these two, the idea of a touch being allowed should be an Event. The reader's heart should be thundering in their chest, the suspense should be palpable, the consummation divine. A single touch is a consummation for them, there should be that much tension. If they hold hands and I'm not holding my breath, you have done it wrong. The first kiss should feel like an atom bomb going off, the world should shift on its axis, a line is being crossed which has left both characters forever altered.

And people will instead write them like a standard romance novel couple who make standard pervy comments in the narration, get a bit flirty, casually hook up and then weigh pros and cons about whether dating fits into their life plans or not. All of this being totally without weight, without feeling like any kind of Rubicon has been crossed or that it's significant for the characters to have entered into something which must foundationally alter their worldview.

Reylo brushing fingers across the galaxy and it being the turning point of the entire narrative, given the same majesty and mystical significance as Luke's vision in the cave or Yoda lifting the X-Wing is the exact correct amount of emphasis for them reaching towards each other in tenderness. You have a character defined by abandonment and loneliness and a character who is surrounded by people but never touched, both unseen by anyone else, both aching for connection, both never having felt anything like this before, both aware of the galaxy-spanning consequences of what they're feeling. Them touching is le big deal.

The kiss for the B&tB pairing, the EtL pairing, any Gothic pairing has to feel out of reach, a chasm that cannot be crossed- until it happens, impossible yet inevitable. Something the characters could never have conceived of taking place at the beginning of the story, an infinite abyss of which they have somehow found themselves on the other side. You have to do the work to get them there, you have to build that bridge stone by stone, and it should be a sublime agony of seeing the path take shape while it still feels like the gap is just unbridgable, that no matter how close you come, it will never be complete, they can never get all the way across. Until they do.

If you write characters who have (or should have) that kind of vast gulf separating them as just kind of falling into an intimacy which isn't earned and thus means nothing, I just have no idea why we're here. Why buy a giant gothic castle of romanticism and then bulldoze it to build a minimalist condo? Everything about the pairing that makes it that pairing is stripped away. If these were people who could just meet at a party and end up in bed, they would be completely different people.

i have to be honest. when ppl bring up how old jason earles was when he played jackson in hannah montana. i do agree it's a little weird but it's strange when ppl adopt the language of it being, like, somehow creepy. he played a high schooler in his late 20s-early 30s. it's not like ppl don't do that on the cw.

#i remember when i found out how old jason earles is. it mustve been 2010 #bc thats when i made facebook #he was also really young-looking in the early seasons?? not like he ACTUALLY looks like a teen #also no it's not CREEPY like it would be for someone to pretend to be a teen at that age irl #to my knowledge most of the actresses cast to be his love interest (at least from the top of my head? im not doing a survey) #were not like... teen starlets like miley and emily osment's age #well hmmm i guess there is that episode where he was into his friend cooper's little sister in s1 #i dont know how old that actress was. that was a weird episode regardless #but before his serious girlfriend arc (sienna 🖤) he never had a long-term serious love interest anyway #they were always one-off dates who got sick of his bullshit by the end of the episode like drake parker #text post #me the number one defender of hannah montana (2006-2011) created by michael poryes #that show WAS everything to me #it wasn't necessarily high art but it did have a big influence on me and my interests and dreams and blah blah #i dont think i would be the same person if it werent for hannah montana and later on miley cyrus #miley. one of my favs forever. love her always xoxox

Wait an idea to save Tailor! Penelope comes to mind. What if she says she is engaged and soon to marry a dude? Would derrick still go after her?

The dude exists (maybe is Ecklides. In an au where he is not a slave but he runaway from home for many reasons) and knows Penelope and once seeing her with Derrick...yeah. he can play along.

Would Derrick back off? I think yes but not bc is the right thing to do but rather...he doesn't want to stain the name of Eckarts. But I bet he would still keep an eye on her....and on her fiance.

This could work. Penelope needs someone who can chase her persistent admirers away and Iklies really needs that Eorkan citizenship. They meet by chance. Penelope has been taking Derrick's measurements for the new suit that he had requested to be made for his sister's coming of age ceremony, and he gets uncomfortably close again and tries to coax her to eat dinner with him, when she blurts out that tonight she can't go out with him. Today is the day she is expecting her fiance to return. Derrick doesn't believe her and accuses her of making up a guy. He grabs her arm and corners her in the shop. At the exact same moment the door jumps up and a handsome young man with hasty steps comes in. It's Iklies, who's being chased by the city guards and frantically looking for a place to hide.

#hello lielope fake dating au #theoretically Derrick could've kidnapped Penelope but I imagine his obsession to be less intense #in AUs where Penelope never got adopted by the duke and Ivonne never disappeared #either Derrick gives up on her or Penelope and Iklies kill him together and the murder bonds them for life :) #because Derrick would investigate Iklies find out that he is an illegal immigrant/escaped slave and would try to blackmail her #concepts #lielope #derrick x penelope #death is the only ending for a villainess #notanon #answered asks #vadd #tailor penelope au

I've been following that AITA blog for a bit now and it has me thinking about my own life situations with conflict and drama. A passive "do I have anything I could submit to that blog?" But upon thinking about it, it's like... I really find no value in asking strangers whether I'm "the asshole" in situations. There are situations where I'm clearly not at fault, situations where I was a little shit but it was justified, and at least one situation where I have a definite "Oh yeah, I was definitely the asshole there". All in the past, so it's not like I'd even need advice or anything. I already know, so what's the point?

Maybe it stems from me being a generally self-aware and self-confident kind of person. I know what's going on with myself, know when I've wronged people, & I have a mentality of "well, I'll try to not do that in the future." Even if I feel a little guilty thinking back, what's the point of asking after something when I know I'm at fault? Or situations where things were complicated and both people had fault in things, but I know I wasn't being shitty on purpose & that's what matters to me. Ultimately, it results in a bunch of strangers drawing conclusions about things I really don't care about outside input on.

Still love reading the blog tho. There's something about reading up on random people's life drama that satisfies that gossipmonger soul in me So well.

#speculation nation #i think the most blatantly YTA thing id get is when i ghosted that guy i was seeing back when i was 20 or so #wasnt ever actually dating but i made it sound like i would. very much led him on. #then realized i just wasnt into cishet guys At All and dropped him out of nowhere bc i was 20 and didnt know how to deal with feelings #objectively it was a pretty awful thing for me to do. and i feel bad that i did it. #have i ever tried to reach out and apologize tho? no lmao #it happened so long ago now i feel like itd bring more animosity than relief anyways. #id like to think ive learned from it tho. Dont Date People Just For The Hell Of It. #god it rly is my romantic history where im the biggest asshole. my prior girlfriend too #i do feel bad about that. i never meant to hurt her but that sure is what i did. #it was better to break it off when i did. wouldve been better had i did it earlier but oh well. #then as a teenager and my whole fucked up romance life then... #but NO LONGER!!!!!!!! hopefully lol. im rly into my current girlfriend and after my last one ive been dedicated to. not do that again. #cant date people just because im bored. that's never ended well for me. #i learned my lesson this time for SURE!!!!! #anyways yea id say more constently id be The Asshole in these situations. but im only human man it happens. #other situations it's usually just fucked up situations with me being a toxic little shit in response bc it's all i knew. #idk. community voting doesnt matter to me. learning from my prior mistakes and shortcomings is what matters to me. #it's interesting to see the blog tho. people are insecure about some of the most trivial things sometimes...

Soulmate AUs are the number one way to make me insufferable ngl

#people never think about how any type of world where you have a way of knowing exactly who you are meant to be with would change everything #it raises SO many questions and no one ever thinks to answer them! how do we know these are soulmates in the romantic sense? are they truly #always correct? what is the history of soulmates? how does this affect casual relationships? is it considered wrong to date someone who isnt #your soulmate? and for specific aus like maybe you find your soulmate the first time you make skin to skin contact- #this would change so much societally. would people become much more stingy about touching or would people be (by our views) overly familiar #in the attempt to find their soulmate? same deal with the ones where it’s your first words this would result in so many weird and intricate #rituals for meeting new people #and this isn’t even getting into the massive amounts of amatonormativity that come with aus of this type #lots of time when reading them you can tell some of its coming from the author too but man. there’s no way people in these worlds wouldn’t b #eveb more insufferable about love than in the real world #idk i just finished a sm au and it was pretty good but at the end there was a throwaway line like. everybody knew your soulmate came before #everyone else. which made me see red cuz Yeah but also of course you’d have that pov in a world where soulmates are real!

It's so sad that Ethan never got the girl! 😭

#because of how it ended. #sure. he and sarah went on that 1 date. but it was just 1 date which is basically just a trial run to see how well things would go #if they did date. plus sarah kept playing if off to erica by saying it wasn't a real date. which we all know was a total lie! #also there's that whole awkward/misunderstanding thing going on between ethan and sarah afterward that happened which never got resolved in #the end thanks to stern's bs with the lucifractor at the vampire council building. #WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN THAT?! #sorry. i think I'm ranting again. 😜 #my babysitter's a vampire #mbav #ethan morgan #mbav stuff #my babysitters a vampire #my thoughts

I like how Sigma Klim isn’t valid but Kaname Date is

#zero escape #aitsf #ai the somnium files #kaname date #sigma klim #they are both slutty and dads but date is valid #hes a good dad like he doesnt just fuck and then neglect his kids #he ends up with a daughter and hes figuring it out but he does anything in his power to raise her right and make her happy #date also doesnt just thrust his horniness onto any woman he sees he has boundaries #he also would beat up any creepy guys making moves on his daughters #plus he tells bad dad puns all the time and canonically smells like old man cuz he eats oatmeal a lot so he wins #date gets bitches but doesnt fuck sigma fuck but gets no bitches #fyi i do unfortunately like sigma but really only in the quark route and in the ztd escape rooms where he like #puts a bucket on his head for no reason and hes like ‘man i wish there was a cat here so id feel better 🥺’ #THATS character developed #but he will never be date

okay guys i may have gotten the haikyuu brain blast that i've been waiting for. that's right baybee i'm talkin' post-time skip Ali Roma/ASAS pre-game, during-game, and post-game kghn moments muahaha

#yes it will just be a vessel to promote my kghn adgenda WHAT ABOUT IT #they WILL be married btw. because in my brain they got married a little after the olympics for Funsies #also Hot Take: but i don't think kagehina ever went through a dating phase #i think they both just knew and established this non-conventional romantic-ish relationship somewhere along the line #but it was never “yes we are boyfriends” #because i feel like for them it's always just been “this is my partner. in life? in crime? both.” #and then getting married was literally just shouyou spitballing ideas and tobio taking them seriously #nothing changes between them btw they are still the exact same #like i have a bit planned where they meet outside the washroom #and then another part near the end where shouyou talks about mushy feelings without being mushy #because “yeah my husband is also my soulmate and my lifelong partner” is such a normal concept for them #and i also think it would be cool to have shouyou explain how exciting it is to be playing against each other as opposed to With each other #like i truly think there is nothing more exihilerating to those two than playing an official world-level volleyball match against e/o #there is no better high than pulling off a killer serve and seeing your soulmate pick it up like it's nothing #or pulling off a crazy insane cross-court shot that blows right past your husband's attempt at a block #BUT IDK GUYS I MIGHT JUST BE INSANE #volleyball guys

It's definitely a warning sign when you start to catch yourself repeating patterns of behavior that you only learned as a way to survive in a deeply deeply bad situation with people you definitely can't avoid

#what is it with me and ending up in situations where i'm not allowed to say no #or situations where i can't make any decisions for myself #this is the third time #albeit not the most serious of the three #it definitely ranks second in terms of consequences #like i even talked to my therapist about it! #she's going to be so disappointed in me and the fact that my notebook will be full of failures #haven't stood up for myself at all at any point #at least she knows i'm a coward (“anxiety”) so we're okay #still how do i keep finding myself in these situations? #the pattern of behavior obviously being never say no because you're not allowed to #but try to get around it by still doing what's best for you secretly and with some lying #i realize it's unhealthy and bad and no one likes being lied to #but can we stop putting me in these situations please #literally ignore me #this is why i discourage being my friend as well #and also why dating would be SUCH A BAD MOVE #i'm trying to work on this behavior but man just stay away from me and don't keep throwing these situations at me

[loveourfuture-c]

I see a lot of talk about how Ben and Devi might break up at the end of season 4 because they are both going to college but remain friends, which I wouldn't hate but also… I feel like it just… wouldn't work?? Maybe it's just me but I feel like their connection is so strong they couldn't possibly be friends and still date other people because it would be WEIRD for those other people to see how much chemistry they have. If I were dating someone with that connection, I would be SO jealous and convinced they are harboring feeling for each other (LIKE ANEESA FELT!!!)

Oh! I 100 percent agree! I think even if Devi does choose herself (which is great btw) there would still be an implication that her and Ben would get together. They are incapable of staying away from each other, and are each other’s BEST FRIENDS!! They get each other in a way no one else does. I feel like even if they tried to break up it would last very long at all.

They would try to break up but end up still talking everyday and complaining about stupid professors and annoying classmates. I could see them having a “We are just friends that don’t date other people” Era before getting back together.

Ben and Devi are soulmates, they will always come back to each other.

#never have i ever #nhie season three spoilers #benvi #otp: i'll miss you. a lot. #I could also see like Devi going a date and it being sucky and her telling Ben about it and him getting so jealous that he ends up driving #to visit her so he can just se where abducts the first time they have seen each other in person since going to college and they just break #down and hug and then kiss #then they get back together #man that would be a good fic #mutuals ❤️ #the paris of people

Gotta love when your life slowly but surely becomes more like a fanfiction (I have gained the fake dating trope. probably not gonna turn into real dating but it still counts)

Can I get an update when it inevitably does turn into real dating? /j

#i have never read a fic where the fake dating did not turn into real dating #WAIT there was one where they got fake married but the actual marriage was a different pair. but i dont remember the outcome #ive really gotta start reading fics again. however i have recently added ''make a pixelmon world'' onto my to-do list in front of that #and ''reread the batim book and finish reading storm bite'' after the pixelmon task #. might actually move the batim book to the front of the list and storm bite to the end. cause storm bite is long. #and the batim one was what taught me a lot about translating visual art into written words so i'd like to reread that soon #but i told echos to read it. so i might wait until he does that before i reread it. if he actually plans on reading it at all. #idk he said he would but then he immediately put it back on my bookshelf instead of taking it to his? so thats a bad start. #i can relate tho. i havent been in a reading mood all summer either. or maybe echos just wants to finish that 300ish chapter fic they're on
