Thenamesh Ballerina/Boxer AU

Heyyyy I absolutely LIVE for ballerina/boxer AU

Could you maybe do one where you give a name to one of the mean girls, like create a character y’know? And can these mean girls just consistently get on Thena and Gil’s nerves (similar to the last one) except instead of thena scaring them off, Gil does 😌

I love your thenamesh fanfics btw ❤️

"Knock, knock."

Thena stood from the dressing room chair, flying over to him and into his arms. "Hey."

"Hey," he greeted back just as softly, holding her in his embrace as she sagged against him. She was always exhausted after these shows, and he was very familiar with how it would soak in physically before full realisation hit. "You were amazing."

Thena leaned up to kiss him, purring against him in contentment. "I'm glad you could come."

"Of course!" he laughed as she parted from him just enough to finish brushing her hair. "If I didn't have to pay, I'd be here every night!"

Thena shook her head at him, rolling her eyes in the mirror. "I told Sersi to go on without me."

"Late dinner date?" he suggested as he came over to her again, holding up her coat to slip into. Her arms settled into the sleeves like wings unfurling--so elegant, his Swan. "Or do you wanna just get takeout and go home?"

"Home," she sighed again, turning and burying herself against him again.

He let her, happily taking his time with his cuddly girlfriend. She was really feeling fatigued if she was being all cute and clingy.

"Thee!"

Gil and Thena both sighed at the voice calling and the name it was blaring through the backstage. He looked down at the top of her head, "what do they want?"

"Probably just to harass you," Thena grumbled, just barely pulling her face out of his chest before the door was slammed open.

The usual flock filtered into the room they had already finished leaving a mere half hour before. Lara spearheaded them, as always. "I knew you were dragging your feet."

Thena glared at the much taller woman, holding onto the lapel of Gil's jacket. "I didn't think it was a secret I would be picked up. I hardly asked you to wait for me."

"But it's the cast party, Thee," Lara pursed her lips at her in a unique mix of condescension and disdain. "Everyone's going."

"I'll pass."

"Don't your little ugly ducklings want to meet your handsome boyfriend?" another one giggled from the edge of the room.

Thena bristled, "my goslings are quite lovely little cygnets, it seems. The crowd seemed far more engaged with their piece than ours."

Gil couldn't help but smile; Thena's pride and joy was in the classes she taught. She had no problem denouncing herself and her colleagues if it was in the defense of her little goslings.

Lara rolled her eyes, "kids have it easy."

Gil gripped Thena's hand, hoping to make an escape before he found himself in the middle of another conflict, "sorry, but we were just-"

"You can come too, y'know!"

"It's true," Lara added, leaning a little closer to him (until Thena yanked him back to her side). "Partners are welcome, and I'm sure the girls would just eat you right up."

All the better reason not to go. Gil traded a look with Thena before looking up at the ring leader of the group. He tugged at his already partially undone tie. "You'll have to break the news to them that I'm taken."

Lara - making no progress with Gil - looked at Thena again. "You've got him well trained, huh? What are you feeding him, Thee?"

"Enough."

All the ladies in the room looked at Gil as he dropped some of the usual warmth and charisma he naturally carried. He put his hands in his pockets but looked at Lara head on, Thena still holding his arm beside him.

"Look, I don't care what politics you have going on here," he frowned, somewhat eyeing the passive but complacent posse around them. "But I don't take kindly to people who have a problem with the woman I love."

All ladies in the room practically gasped.

"If she says we're not interested, that's that," Gil continued, moving an arm but only to wrap it around Thena and squeeze her hip. "And I'm not interested in humouring you or anyone else who thinks it's funny to imply I'm not in a happy, committed relationship."

Lara actually took a step back as Gil started leading him and Thena out of the room, past their group of assailants.

"Maybe the partners you have don't know what loyalty really means, but I do." He held Thena on the far side of him, grasping the door to pull it closed behind him with one final glare. "I'm where I belong: with Thena. And I don't wanna hear another word about it."

Thena stared at him in somewhat of a stupor as he pulled the door closed and started walking out with her.

Only once outside the backstage door did he let out an anxious breath. She giggled as he tugged his tie all the way off and fanned his shirt a little. "God, that woman has a mean mug."

"She's not particularly pleasant," Thena agreed as her poor, sweet - non-confrontational - boyfriend gathered himself.

He looked at her with a frown, "is she gonna give you an even harder time next time you see her 'cause of that?"

Thena shook her head, slipping her hand into his again and kissing his cheek. "I won't know until I see her again, and that shouldn't be for quite some time, now."

Gil led her away from the door, looking back a few times to make sure a hoard of angry swans wasn't going to follow them to his car.

"I love you, too."

Gil's head whipped around to look at her. The parking lot lights had a yellow glow to them, and even though there wasn't snow falling into her hair, she was still as breathtaking as she always had been. Her cheeks had a soft pink to them as she squeezed his hand.

Thena let him tilt her head up to kiss her. He nuzzled the tips of their noses together, making her giggle again.

He moved his hand from her cheek to her hair, brushing his fingers through it and moving it over her shoulder in one - hopefully - smooth move. "I imagined that going differently."

"What?"

"Telling you," he blushed this time, "for the first time...y'know."

Thena tugged at his sleeve to hurry their pace along, "you can keep telling me. I'll be quite happy to hear it."

Gil followed her beckoning blissfully, thinking about all the opportunities to shower her with just how much he loved her from now on.

#Thenamesh Ballerina/Boxer AU #thank you so much my love!!! #I hope you like how it's turned out! #I quite liked the idea of the adversarial rest of the company last time #so I'm glad I could use them again! #maybe it's a little cliche #but I think Thena was always so devoted to the craft #maybe she didn't play particularly nicely #not mean just not friendly either #and anyone who doesn't kiss Lara's ass at least a little is probably not popular #anyway so then Thena leaves the company and they all think great #finally Odette is done being coach's pet #but then she's back and now she doesn't even look up from her phone unless they're actively rehearsing #and they find out it's because she has a hot boyfriend??? #that is not gonna fly #he's sweet and handsome and a boxer??? #no ma'am not on Lara's watch #but Gil is not here for #Gil-I-love-my-girlfriend-gamesh here

Hiii, i love your stuff and kinda from a distance really look up at you for, in my perception, being able to express yourself without giving a fuck. Thats sick dude, Im so so afraid, of absolutely everything, its nice to think like i might grow into someone less apologetic of my existence. Nice to see people just being yknow

hey, thank you, this is really really nice. the secret that is probably not a secret is that i am also deeply afraid a lot of the time lmao -- but less than i used to be, and in ways that feel less stifling and self-suffocating, if that makes sense.

like, it used to be "i'm scared that if i express myself the way i want to, everyone will find me obnoxious, so let's just sand those edges down to be safe" -- now my fears are more like "now that i'm expressing myself in a way that feels natural and real, i'm afraid that it's all stupid/vapid/not worthwhile or meaningful" (<- specifically abt my art) or "i'm happy that i talk and act the way i want to now, but what if it makes me impossible to befriend," etc etc etc. which still feels bad and puts me in a funk a lot of the time but at least it's a fear that comes After/in reaction to doing stuff, rather than a fear that STOPS me from doing stuff, you know? like, it's evolved into a kind of fear that's less in my way.

anyway. i believe you'll experience something like this, because wanting to grow is the first step of growing. the fact that u hope or wish for something different means you're already on your way. to fewer fucks!! or at least distributing the fucks u give in a way that serves u better

#stuff like accepting that i'm reserved and i'm not very accessible via messages. #or that my online tone isn't very bubbly and it's weird and uncomfortable to force it. #i stop letting fears about that shape my behavior ('i'll look mean or snotty so let's force markers of Friendliness to avoid that!!') - #- and instead act the way i want to and then trade it in for new fears that come After the action. #also a good reminder to give urself is that if ur fear is abt how other ppl perceive u (as 90% of mine is personally) #u really... can't actually control that. and being very very anxious abt it all the time is usually ur brain throwing a tantrum abt not-- #--having that control. bc it is understandably very scary that u don't have that control #as much as it sucks + is terrifying the truth is the only thing u can do is ask urself 'am i behaving in a way that i'm proud of' #'am i behaving in a way that's in alignment w my values + what i think is important' #bc if the answer to that is yes and somebody hates u or is deeply offended by ur existence anyway. well. literally not ur problem #but obv being at peace w that is way way easier said than done + requires tons of practice and will take. probably. years. which is fine #i am stuck with myself. i can either contort myself forever trying to be someone everyone will like and find totally nonthreatening and- #inoffensive and in the process exhaust myself totally and never feel safe or natural myself. OR #i can say okay. so i am a kind of prickly guy with stern and drab speech patterns and close to no social energy. and i think i can still be #-sexy and fun this way. and it is up to other ppl to figure out if they can agree w me on that #ANYWAY enough rambling for now. just another one of those things i think abt a lot so i have a lot of ready-made sentences abt it in mind

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty"

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #my post #friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional' #(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...) #EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband #but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part #As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional' #A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means #of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances #to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor) #It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey #It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years #But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious) #By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family #(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons) #I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485 #which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional #date of 12 February 1487 #2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other #widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump #to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was) #I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument #Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was #They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless #I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests) #certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort #and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!' #which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure #ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.

Queueing to make it clear this isn't a one-time thing or vagueing a specific person and more an irritating trend, but: if you have speculation or a personal wish for a story, that is always totally cool and you can and should post about it to your heart's content but it is pretty irritating to post it on other people's theory posts unless you can construct a logical argument and relate it back to their theory.

You want to see a guest character return? Okay, pitch me how this is related to my post, and why it would make particular sense within the story. You think a ship is going to happen? Great, say something other than "Um, I have eyes" on my post if you want to reply to me. You think this campaign is going to go on until level 20? Do you have an argument other than "I want it to?" Then give it, otherwise this would really be better suited to you making your own post.

You don't need an argument in your own post! I think it's wise to have one if you have any interest in convincing other people (and indeed, I tend to find that if there's a lot of MAN WOULDN'T IT BE COOL evidence- and argument-free posts in the tag for something I wasn't already inclined to like, it will make me feel more unfavorable towards it), but if you're posting for yourself and not to make a point you can and should just say what you want! You do need one when you're shoving it onto mine though because now I'm going to get all the people responding to you and I don't want them. Also when people do this and I don't care for their theory I tend to hide the reblog, or I just make the post nonrebloggable if it takes off and I'm sufficiently annoyed, and now no one can see or respond to the theory because they didn't write your own post and I'm in control! Writing your own posts is great! Please, if you are not directly responding to the content of an original post but rather going off on your own tangent, make your own post instead of getting on theirs.

#If you sit on my lap on the bus (what is tumblr but a giant bus) and thrust your headphones in my ear unannounced you're getting pushed off! #queue #i think some people doing this are like. trying to be friendly and have a conversation but here's the problem #if you respond with like. hey. i disagree. a lot of them get REAL pissy so it's like ah you don't want a conversation you want a yes-man #and also like. the way you have a conversation is by responding directly to other people's points not just saying your own thing. #i mean. i recognize i'm saying this on a website where people act AFFRONTED if you write a post that actually contains an argument #instead of shrieking and florid prose that makes rupi kaur look like langston hughes #but like. learn to write a good argument and to respond to people based on what they said not what you already thought. #and learn to accept that writing a convincing argument =/= people will automatically agree with you #either bc of multiple valid interpretations bc there is a subjective dimension or bc one or both of you are stupid

maybe it's the cough cough relatability I find in the concept but ppl do not explore/think about danse and substance abuse enough

#something something staring at a bottle and knowing that it could make you better (by knowing i mean deluding yourself into that idea) #out of desperation to not be the person you are. to be fun and relaxed and friendly and not feel this way anymore #but also privately and almost subconsciously wanting the problem because its a nameable one. its one you can blame #someone asks whats wrong with you and you can point at it. you can say you can fix it #as you stand - as yourself unchanged and untouched - there is no excuse. its just you #but theres this thing that can either fix you or maybe allow yourself some kind of sympathy #at the same time you can hate yourself more and have a better reason for it #and danse finds out hes not who he thought he was and he desperately wants to be someone else. someone he has a choice over #idk. #im fine btw haha

hmmmm having angsty Lights Out thoughts

#i know when i post about it i usually make it Lighthearted if not outright Memey #but oh boy. this au is dark. like - like beyond the literal meaning #imagine being abandoned by your creators without so much as a warning #one day the lights go out and thats it. no answers. no comfort. no friendly faces or explanation #show's over. curtains closed. doors locked. they're all gone #it's just waiting in a pitch black room because surely the lights will turn back on. the next day will come #but it Won't. the next day won't come. it will never come. your friends won't open their eyes again. it's just you now. #you've always had company - friends and the comfort of feeling Watched Over by something beyond your understanding #but you blinked and its gone now. it's just you. no matter what you try or what you do - its. just. you. #days and weeks and moths and years of silence and a complete lack of color #burning matches down to your fingertips just to remember what shade of yellow your fleece is #its still wrong. firelight stains the color. #slowly forgetting the sound of your friends voices and what their smiles looked like and what the memories you made with them were #what was your best friends favorite joke? what was his hotdog order? how did he laugh? he used to pose for your paintings didnt he? #you can't be sure anymore. maybe the neighborhood was always dead. maybe You're dead. how can you tell? #you don't breathe. they don't either. they used to didn't they? you never did but they used to. ...right? you hope their dreams are sweet #one of your friends starts sleepwalking. you're so happy. she hurts you. you know she didnt mean it. you're scared anyway. #you can only see with one eye now. it feels... Wrong. all of your chalk drawings start coming out wrong too. #you keep missing when you reach for things. just one more thing to adjust to #were the lights ever on? or was that your own dream? you thought that was something you couldnt do. #you also thought the lights always come back. you were wrong about that. what else are you wrong about? #wh lights out au #wailing sobbing screaming etc over lights out wally... this poor little 12 apples dude... #aimlessly wandering through the town... walking through the buildings.... #eventually getting so fucking lonely and desperate that you keep your best friend's severed arm for comfort #all you can do is protect your eternally sleeping friends from the Things crawling out of the shadows #mark another tally on the ground for each full circle the town clock's short hand completes #and wait for the day you fall asleep and join your friends dreams. it will happen someday. #you can feel it in the pitch seeping from your eyes and mouth. more with each decade that passes #just a little while longer. some more waiting. just you. in the dark.

i'd say "oh his channel is as old as my brother is" but that's just always gonna be true. but it IS now older than i was when i first started watching

#failboat #yknow i may not draw him the most realistically but i REALLY feel like i capture his energy so well. idk #like the expressions are just real. barely an exaggeration at all #anyway. personally? i wouldnt say he's fat. like yeah he may have a gut but so do i and ive NEVER been called fat so like #either way i like him with a gut. IN CASE YOU COULDNT TELL. just more to hug yk? makes him even more of a soft n friendly guy #yknow- yknow maybe he should ask MY MOM if he's so concerned. i mean she told me back in like 2020 he looked fat LOL #i still cant believe she said that about him. among other things #like 'is he married yet? he's getting old-' i- why do you care?? do you want ME to marry him?? because frankly- *gets hit by an 18-wheeler

[sonknuxadow]

i hate it so so much when people portray amy as disliking or being mean to sally and/or elise. she was literally FRIENDS with BOTH of them. and in the case of sally she even outright said that she was ok with sonic dating her and was very supportive of their relationship. where do people get the idea that amy hates either of them. keep amys name out of your mouth forever

#sally and amy were friends and they respect eachother so much and amy was the number one sonally supporter #and regarding amy liking sonic too. she said that she just wants him to be happy even if that means he doesnt like her in that way #there is like zero hostility between amy and sally on either end. despite what people will try to tell you #and amy didnt interact with elise nearly as much as she did with sally #but in the scenes they did have together they were friendly with eachother. again why do people think amy hates her #also when people have sonic get with shadow or knuckles or blaze or whoever else and have amy get mad and hate them for it . #yeah maybe amy would be a little upset or jealous at first. but those are all her friends too #i dont think she would suddenly start hating them over something like that

[noncompliantbi]

Oh btw, I still remember how some of you deeply disturbed, terminally online fuckfaces ran macroclit off Tumblr for *checks notes* having an abortion. The access to safe and legal abortions isn't the cornerstone and rallying cry of feminists or anything, surely not.

Everyone even tangentially involved in that shittery is a clown of the highest magnitude. I hope you realize that sooner than later and make some changes to yourself on a molecular level

#my stuff #macroclit #fake ass feminists #just little girls playing at being mean girls #i'm not just talking about the anon harassers either #gc friendly #terfs please touch

Looking for platonic fics of canonically close rival best friends that keep them that way

#to clarify #the joke is that something specific is wanted #people will either make a friendly rivalry genuinely mean or make them romantic and that’s not even the issue #they tend to ignore the narrative weight anything they did had along the way #the two best friend rivals SHOULD have a complex relationship #they’re allowed to be close and cuddle without it being romance #they can hold hands without romance #forehead kisses... platonic #COME ON !! #it’s difficult to filter for but it’s honest work #it’s about the tension the drama the lore the love the meaning soooo much to each other #it’s NOT about the homoerotic tension that ‘needs’ a resolution #that’s just the best friends vibing leave them be #let them be a main focus without being the main romance #🗣🗣🗣

[fandom-fae]

honestly. on one hand. i really really really like the version of peter pan from once upon a time, in the way that the actor does a phenomenal job, the character has great dialogue and is just overall really really enjoyable to watch imo. but then i remember how he kept wendy in a cage for like 300 years and like

i stan him but that is so. AGSJDHJDHDJ. like i feel SO BAD for wendy there. this poor girl honestlyyy. like. that’s so disturbing honestly. like i can’t imagine much things that would mess with someone’s psyche more than that. like if he had just kept her on the island then fine, but constantly in that tiny hanging cage??? big OOF.

like i’m sure she’d need like permanent therapy afterwards and even then how would you even begin to unpack that in therapy???? like??????

#like pan ily but was that necessary????? #the worst part abt liking villains is when they do stuff like that ahdkndkfnfkf #(that part is a joke. just to be clear) #like idk he’s so cool but that makes me side eye him anyway. also cuz like? what was that like?? like was she just kinda there or did he/the #lost boys actually interact with her? on a regular basis i mean. other than giving her like food and whatever. and like if yes. then how did #they interact? was it taunting her? more civil? maybe with some of the lost boys even friendly? or just plain threatening?? #like there are things that are way more outright and obviously cruel but this is like probably the worst thing he’s done bc its so prolonged #like abandoning rumple was bad already. but he couldn’t have known that that pain would last for hundreds of years instead of a few decades #and the thing with killian’s brother liam was also not great (i don’t remember the details of that scene so idk rn if he told them about how #the water works exactly or not so idk if he was being a total bitch or if they just didn’t listen) but either way liam’s pain was also not #that long yk? like he died and that was that. sure- killian’s grief was v v long but idk if i’m counting that bc he’s not the one that was #directly hurt yk? anyway yeah. AND THEN THE THING W WENDY. like taking her as a hostage is one thing but doing that for iirc THREE fucking #centuries in such a tiny ass uncomfortable looking cage???????? that’s ridiculous #like i can’t even fathom how much her psyche would be messed up by that irl #moi #fandoms #ouat peter pan #ouat wendy darling #peter pan ouat #wendy darling ouat #once upon a time #ouat #hajshdifjjdjd #sorry for the rant but it was fun and will happen again <3

I am once again asking people to stop making Dick Grayson a police officer in fics because he “wants to help save people.” You are not immune to Chuck Dixon’s copaganda.

#batfam #batfamily #batman #batman comics #dick grayson #nightwing #what kind of tags do those guys tend to scroll thru? like i dont want to be so annoying as to tag the entire fucking batfamily #but also like. i want this to actually REACH people. #and this is one of the few things that annoys me about batfam fics that isnt just a fanon problem #because people are trying to be accurate to canon #and like. on the one hand i get that! but on the other hand it's so fucking easy to just NOT make him a cop. #you dont have to be 100% accurate to canon. i mean hell! fic writers are almost NEVER 100% accurate to canon. #which makes it all the more telling that for all the things these writers DO change from canon in their fics #they still choose to make dick a cop. #which either means they just dont think about it and what that implies and why you just shouldnt portray cops in a good way! (in which case: #here's your friendly reminder to NOT DO THAT. if you didnt know before now you do.) #OR it means people are doing it on purpose because they agree with the argument that if someone wants to go into a profession where the goal #is to 'save people' then they should be a cop. #which is severe copaganda and fucking false. do not tote that argument around like it's a fucking fact. it's not and it's beyond dangerous #to say it is a fact. #if anyone else has tag recommendations (or thinks its worth it for me to be really annoying and tag all the batfam i can lmfao) please lmk!! #mine #just some thoughts #fandom #dc #dc comics #justice league #dc fandome #dc fanfiction #batfam fanfic

#.tlktxt #for future reference. itd be the one abt the animated movie a youtuber made. almost by himself. but whatever #like to be fair i havent finished the video. i got pretty far but it just kept pissing me off #i hate when people who dont know shit abt animation or its production try to talk abt animation production. especially for critique #also just like. kinda rancid video in general i think. i know yhat the like. being q small youtuber doesnt automatically mean youre free of #criticism but like. dude its a single man operation on a minuscule channel that now is only known to an audience of people who love to make #fun of others. friendly or not. so like fucking imagine how dogshit that guys comments are gonna look like #like it wouldnt be great if it was like a morally abhorrent movie either but like it wasnt. it was a tiny passion project. made by one #fucking guy. and like its worst crime is being like. incoherent and dare i say cringey #man idk. i think i just feel for the reviewer guy. something something people woth large followings need to be careful abt who they #spotlight and how and why. whatever it pissed me off though.... sigh #also just like. bad jokes in general. not a good video bad video!!!!

for a show that's just pretty anime boys doing pretty anime boy things, idolish7 is a surprisingly not shippable franchise

#or maybe they are elsewhere idk i don't go on twitter. i mean there's a decent amount of slash fic on ao3 #but what i'm saying is they're all so wholesomely FRIENDLY and it's so cute in itself that few people bother to ship the characters #from what i've seen #because everything you would want from their interactions is already there #like the only romantic pairings i can think of are ioriku and yukimomo and that's because they've already got something going for them #i don't even actively ship either pairing it's just. you know. ioriku and whatever they have going on. i have eyes #and yukimomo are married like we all know that #idk but being a full time bsd stan where practically every character is shipped with every other character.... #i think idolish7 and their character dynamics and the franchise's fanbase is very refreshing
