Runs at your inbox at full speed. 6, 11, 15, 25; otp asks for Ros + Five!!!!
Ask and ye shall recieve Roslynd/Five goodness!
EDIT: I put this is my drafts for safe keeping in JUNE and forgot it was here I am so sorry
--
6. Do they have pet names for each other? Do they like them?
Not so sure that these quite fall under pet names, but Five's one to call Roslynd, "My love/dear/darling" very very frequently in his smooth Kaasi accent that would make anyone melt like butter. It also isn't a pet name but he's one of the only people to call Roslynd by her full name instead of Ros, which in its own way carries a bit of intimacy.
For Roslynd, she knows that Five has gone by his cipher designation for so long that calling him Val (very rarely Valetyn) in of itself is like calling him by a more intimate name. I think the most pet-namey she gets with him is "my love/love" consistently. But she's also absolutely come up with the most ridiculous nonsense known to man that makes Five stop in his tracks and go "WHAT did you just call me??"
11. What good do they bring out in each other?
OOF so much. They both bring out so much good in each other. Roslynd grounds Five a lot, especially when they first reconnect and he's still actively in the field. She reminds him of his humanity, that he's not just a weapon. She also brings out a sense of humor in him, albeit dry. Five is a very serious person who often takes things very literally and Ros helps him loosen up a bit, get a bit more mischief in him.
In their Academy days, Roslynd brings Five out of his shell. He was very content to work-aholic his way through training and exist on his own, but Roslynd (aside from challenging him academically in their little rivalry) dragged him out away from studies and that's how he met his core group of friends, such as Rhys.
Conversely, Five brings out a mellower side of Roslynd. She's very intense in a very high energy way, and Five's quieter form of intensity tends to balance her out. They're both lovely counter balances to each other. Roslynd also finds that Five brings out a softer side of her, one who isn't as sharp and down-to-business.
15. What habits or characteristics have they picked up from each other?
Roslynd has picked up getting way too attached to the agents from Five.
Roslynd picked up making her office less clinical and more home-y from Five. She didn't realize she could bring in softer lamps that don't give her headaches until she went into his for the first time and went "WAIT you changed the lighting??" xD
Ros has definitely found herself accidentally falling into some of Five's mannerisms in conversation, such as his nonverbal acknowledgements or irritated "hmphs" (you know when you're around someone long enough you start picking up their vocabulary as your own?)
Five has definitely picked up on things from Ros, he's just refusing to offer them up in my brain.
25. Who said “I love you” first?
This might be unexpected, but Five :3
In their Academy days when they had their 'right person wrong time' thing going, Roslynd voiced how much she cared for Five and it was painfully obvious that he's in denial head over heels for her but was never voiced as "I love you".
By the time they begin working together again, Roslynd is just so relieved to have Five back in her life while still recognizing there's several years of trauma now on the shoulders of the man she loved/loves and she doesn't know if he still feels the same. So she is generally content to just things take their course and go where they may. It's Five who finally takes that step and admits his love for her and they go from there!

Tankhun, oscar winning director
I'm a little buzzed so enjoy this lovely prompt that's running around my head.
So Prapai and Phayu have had such a difficult time dating as the youngest sons in the mafia. Potential partners are scared off by their reputation, their family name, the constant danger that they're in. Or, if someone can see past all that, their fathers/uncles end up ruining it by over interrogating and invasive questions and hostile suspicion.
And Tankhun's heart just breaks. He's witnessed so many amazing love stories on television - and some even in real life! From all of his fantasy couples and OTPs to watching his brothers fall in love with two sweet boys, he simply can NOT have it that his two nephews fall in love. (Yes, two nephews, because any child of Pete's will be spoilt the minute Tankhun walks in the room.)
He just has to come up with a scheme like on television for Phayu and Prapai to have the love story Tankhun deserves to see they deserve to have. Tankhun will be just like a director - he'll write the story and cast the parts and maybe even win an oscar in the end.
First, he has to cast the story, he has to find perfect matches for his nephews. Prapai needs someone who won't let him always get what he wants, someone who has even the potential to be okay with a life as dark as they lead. Phayu needs someone outgoing to bring him out more, someone who won't cower at his overbearing personality. Arm compiles a list of young bachelors and bachelorettes (though he's not sure how the find would react to having a woman marry in) in Bangkok, ones with no connection to rival families, ones that would not be easily persuaded to betray, ones who just may be worthy of holding the hearts of his nephews.
The list is decently long, so then they start to be pickier - only ones that were cute, ones that would look good in future family photos, ones who had nice hands that could maybe carry a family ring one day. It takes a while, but Tankhun divides his time evenly between watching his dramas and creating this drama.
Second, Tankhun has to write a rough draft. He takes a few from the list that he knows wouldn't work and tries some rough ideas out. Phayu is immediately put off by the pretty girl who spills her coffee on him and Prapai doesn't look twice at their cute waitress on their monthly family dinners. There is promise in the boy who stages a minor bicycle accident in front of Phayu and the girl who stumbles into Prapai at the library. Tankhun is working out kinks as fast as he can, writing what he can with the multiple possibilities until -
Third, he has to find a location. And there are a couple of pretty boys and girls from their list that could reasonably bump into either boy - some who work at the local café down the street from Prapai's office or some who have friends who take their cars to Phayu - but there are a few students from Phayu's university who are actually on their list and it's perfect, so many options - tutors, academic rivals, study group partners, meeting at a college party - and Tankhun considers each candidate thoroughly - one girl is voted off when they see her obnoxious Instragram posts, one boy is tossed to the side when they found a history of him filing noise complaints o his neighbors. Nark.
They scour social medias, past report cards, contact very confused neighbors and employers for references until Tankhun has his perfect two. A young man for Prapai and a young man for Phayu.
Tankhun writes the cutest first meet that he can for both - Rain's car will get a flat tire at the same time Phayu will be leaving the compound to head home. Though he could wait until they meet at a university event, but that's plain and predictable and Phayu will note have a boring love story. Tankhun watches from the bushes - well, he's watching on his phone from his bedroom as Arm and Pol film it through the bushes - Phayu is far too chivalrous to not offer to help, just like Tankhun knew! He is charmingly confident and impressive as he works on the car and Tankhun can see the moment Rain is swept off his feet.
Tankhun is pulling the strings for everything - he pays an actor to mention the street race in front of Rain and Sky (because Tankun is already very protective of his future nephew in law and there will be no need for his piece of shit ex to be involved), the guards working the race are instructed to chase Rain and Sky into Phayu and Prapai. It continues on as awkwardly forcing segues with Phayu about this article he read on how to support someone with ADHD or with Prapai about how to be a safe space for people you love. Arm and Pol are there to film all the meetings Tankhun has planned out so Tankhun can keep up with his favorite romcom starring this nephews.
But it's not enough, Tankhun has to experience this first hand, so he just happens to leave a magazine open on a page advertising a car show in Phayu's room at the same time he works up the nerve to go outside the compound - it still happens, but not all the time - and Tankhun had no idea car shows could be so fun, everything is so shiny and sparkly and -
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, my favorite nephew! I came to...buy your uncle Porsche a new bike, of course! Who is this cutie hanging off your arm?"
It's Rain, twenty years old from Korea, only child of two parents married in 1998, an architecture major with a 2.76 GPA, blood type A+, no troubles with the law besides a speeding ticket last year, speaks four languages.
But Tankhun doesn't say any of that out loud. He already approves of Rain, already loves him, and he's going to be the favorite uncle and Tankhun chokes up when he realizes he's the first member of the family to meet their newest member.
And he plans the same thing with Sky - a few weeks later to recharge from going outside - mentioning in front of Sky a new restaurant to offer egg stew (because Tankhun paid them to put it on the menu). He waltzes in as Prapai and Sky get their food and prepare to eat.
"Oh, my favorite nephew! I'm here...to try their new egg stew of course! I saw you and your friend here already ordered some, how is it, scooch over so I can sit with you, move, move."
Tankhun gives Sky his most charming smile and he's already planning Sky's outfit for their Christmas card this year. As he sits there getting to gush over Prapai and Sky, Tankhun chokes up again as he realizes he's a guest star in his favorite show now. He's been a guest star twice.
And he knows how the family can be, so Tankhun keeps orchestrating more meet ups with the rest of the family so that his two new in-laws can grow to accept their quirky family. He takes Chay out and they run into Rain at the library, he takes Pete to bump into Sky at the mall, he takes Kinn to visit Phayu at the garage while Rain is visiting, he invites Kim to find Sky at a cafe by the school because Kim has known about Rain and Sky the whole time. Little shit. Someone should talk to him about how many secrets he's keeping from the family.
I don't know where this is going because I'm a little inebriated, but like, Tankhun plotting out the PhayuRain and PraSki romance because he loves his dramas, but also because he wants to make sure his nephews fall in love with good people and ensure no one hurts them. He uses his decades of knowledge about dramas and on screen romances to create the best love story he can.

Maybe 14 and or 33 with Seb for the otp prompt?👉👈
I really enjoy Reading your writing, especially your HC!💖💕🙇thank you for your hard Work💖
What about both in one fic hehe
And thank you so much! You are so sweet! I'm so happy you like my writing and my thoughts about the bachelors! 💖
14. "If you do that one more time I don't think I'll be able to control myself."
33. "I don't want them I want you."
I hope you enjoy!
Seb x female reader
18+ for a very suggestive scene. A tiny bit more than suggestive, actually. No true smut, but I could be convinced to write a second part...
Three months.
This had been going on for three fucking months and Sebastian was tired of it.
Or, wait, hold on. Sebastian sure thought it was obvious he liked you. It seemed like everyone had gotten the memo except for you.
He knew he didn't have a right to feel that way. It's not like he was official with you or anything. Sure, it was obvious that you two were into each other, but you weren't an item. You hadn't even kissed!
Maru had approached him, bluntly asking if he liked you, Abigail, or both. Sebastian had been thrown.
"Maru, you're my favorite sister and everything--"
"I'm your only sister."
"Right. Well anyway, I have a tight deadline and I really can't afford to answer your weird ass questions right now." Sebastian typed away on his computer, but didn't fail to see Maru's eyes narrow.
"You're avoiding the question."
"Maru I don't like Abigail!" Sebastian had said, exasperated. "I haven't liked her for a year now. You know exactly who I'm into."
Maru nodded, looking thoughtful
"I only ask because she seems convinced you are head over heels for Abigail."
Since this conversation, Sebastian had been trying to figure out how best to make sure you knew he liked you. And then it hit him. A bouquet!
Quickly, he rushed to Pierre's, practically throwing his money at the man before snatching the flowers. He didn't walk, but ran to your farmhouse, hoping against hope you were there.
Sebastian didn't see you in your field of crops, and jumped when he heard his name called out. He turned, and saw you by one of your silos, clearly having just filled it up.
He walked with purpose over to you, bouquet hidden behind his back. Sebastian wasn't convinced that you hadn't already seen it, but hey. It was the romantic thought that counted, right?
"What are you doing here?" you asked, looking surprised.
"I have something for you," Sebastian said.
"Oh?" you asked, head tilting like a confused puppy.
Sebastian took a deep breath in, and then presented the flowers with a flourish. You simply stared, and his heart pounded.
"Well, say something!" Sebastian said.
"This...but..." you said, looking flummoxed.
"But what?" Sebastian asked, annoyed that you hadn't taken the bouquet from him.
"I thought you liked...others," you said softly.
"Others?" Sebastian said, frowning.
"Like Sam. Or...or Abigail," you said, not meeting his gaze. Sebastian let out an annoyed huff, causing you to look up.
"I don't want them, I want you!" he said.
Your eyes were as big as dinner plates, and you took the bouquet from him with shaking hands.
You took one step forward, and then another. Gently tilting your head, you placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
"I accept," you said with a smile.
Beaming, he kissed back. But this one wasn't innocent. It was full of passion and desire. He pressed you up against the silo, lifting one of your legs and wrapping it around his hip. He rocked his hips against you, and you moaned into his mouth.
"Fuck Sebastian..." you panted.
"That's the idea," he said with a grin. He rocked his hips against you, more forcefully this time.
"If you do that one more time, I don't think I'll be able to control myself," you said, locking eyes with him.
"Outside? Against the silo?" Sebastian asked. "You wouldn't."
"Wanna bet?"

1. How many works do you have on AO3?
6
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
53,612
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Dragon Age. I have one fic that's a South Park fic that was a gift fic for someone else. It's an episode of South Park where Randy thinks he's a witcher and goes by Randalt.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A thousand years or more, if not for this - SMUT PERFORMS SO WELL!
The sky sang out your name to me - Post-trespasser Solavellan hell
Heart of Glass - Dalish OC/OC story starts before events of Inquisition
Randalt - The South Park gift fic I mentioned above
The Pride of the Dalish - Prologue to Heart of Glass
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes! All of them. Comments are cherished!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
The sky sang out your name to me  Technically it's a happy ending for Solas and Eilan, but, uh, it feels bad for the reader. Hehehehehehe. 😈😈😈
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
The Pride of the Dalish. Eilan is a secretive person and reveals one of her most closely held secrets to Lex and he holds it gingerly for her and supports her. It is cute.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Eh. Maybe? I've gotten hate on ME over a fic. Like someone who loved my fic and praised it but said it made them think I am a bad person irl. That sort of thing? Kind of unhinged so I don't pay it much mind.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I did one smut for the clicks and it worked, baby. Most read fic with that E tag.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Nah.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge. I also don't go looking for it.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope! Though @bluewren and I discuss Lex and Eilan deeply to get them right in our independent writing, we've never actively co-written a story.
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
I am a single-minded "current ship is the OTP" fanatic, so right now it's Lex/Eilan.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
A Fenris POV fic. It starts during Inquisition. Fenris and Hawke are together in Kirkwall. Fenris is struggling to find his identity and purpose as a free man. Hawke's celebrity dominates how people see them in Kirkwall. He starts harboring resentment and blaming Hawke for all sorts of feelings of aimlessness and inadequacy and Hawke is like ????? but also not very helpful or a good emotional lean-to because she is a very prickly red Hawke. Cullen, now commander of the Inquisition, writes to Hawke asking for her help on a mission. Fenris sees it first and intercepts the mission, replies saying he'll do it, does not inform Hawke, and leaves without saying a word. It's a few months of Fenris finding himself and his inner turmoil as he goes through the ordeal of discovering himself outside the confines of slavery. Isabela is on the quest with him and really not helping because Isabela hates Hawke at this point (they were close, then things soured, and Isabela sees an opportunity to poke Hawke in the eye via Fenris.) At the end of the quest he goes to Skyhold to meet with Cullen and Hawke is already there, called in by Varric, and it's on the cusp of the battle at Fort Adamant. THE DRAMA IS EPIC. THE CONFRONTATION! AAAAAH!
16. What are your writing strengths?
According to readers, well drawn characters and scene tension.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
When I am tired and lose track of what my story is about, I tend towards humor/jokes and the fic souffle loses all shape.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
For me it's all contextual. Some times leaving something untranslated is in service of the scene and a smart choice, sometimes the translation is a smart choice. I go by what serves the fic best in that moment, and even combine it in the same fic. There's no hard or fast rules for me.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Sailor Moon when I was 11 or 12.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
My current WIP. But that's not published yet. So from the published fics, maybe Ropes of Fate. Short story, 3,000 words, light and sweet, 11-year old Lex POV. It came out of me more or less intact which was a nice feeling (and maybe only possible with short stories 😉)
blank form below:
1. How many works do you have on AO3?

I try not to get mad here lol but some of y’all are being so dramatic about THE LEAK ™ (said in my most affectionate way)
as if seeing a literal 2 frame (felt like 1 tbh and I wouldn’t have even known it was them if I hadn’t seen the screenshot lmao) has ruined that moment entirely. I mean OF COURSE I would have screamed like a banshee when it happened if I had never seen it. But you know what?  I am STILL GONNA SCREAM LIKE A BANSHEE when it happens because we have got the whole ass build up, aftermath and context to look forward to (and I am keeping the faith that this is real and not a trick otherwise I’ll grab my pitchfork) 
So yeah I do get when people don’t want spoilers, fine, you do you and I berate the spn fandom for ruining things for people because their ship disappointed them so they’re trying to make out like this is nothing (when its everything babes sorry) 
and I think GO fans have generally been tagging really well, I had to seek out the spoiler myself because everyone made me anxious and I thought they were gonna kill someone off asfghjk so for my peace of mind I had to look. 
And you know, its made me even more hyped for s2, I might even write a ficlet about what I think will happen with their kiss I’M SO EXCITED MAN and personally it hasn’t ruined anything in fact I’m kinda relieved we’ll get a kiss my ace heart never had it on my wishlist I was hoping for hand holding etc but I’m all for it now and tbh we’re gonna get so much more stuff I MEAN THE AFTERMATH OF THE CHURCH SCENE?! CMOOON lets scream about this!!! I’m tired of the woe is me everything is awful my otp are kissing how terriblelol and lets embrace it and look forward to the amazing things and moments we’re gonna get!

Hellooo! Do you still do with the OTP of the year prompts? If it’s not too much, maybe Timsteph with time travel or ‘you’re the only one I could turn to to help?’
You can of course ask for this! I am always open for requests - especially for this year's themes - but I won't lie and I admit my ability to write for DC has shrivelled up and died. Apologies guys for not writing much this year. I hope this makes up for it (a little). I'm sorry it's so short.
This is just an absolutely buck wild au. Don't ask for context... I have none. I went for ‘you’re the only one I could turn to to help’ over time travel if that is okay!
Year of the OTP Requests
She was recognisable even in the dark. Never able to give up that purple hood, blonde hair spilling out like a river of sunlight. Even in the dark gloom of Gotham, even buried away in the darkest shadows, she shone.
Tim dropped down into the alleyway, and she responded by pulling her cloak tighter around herself.
"Eight months since I saw you last - what is it?" Tim asked. "What do you want?"
He wanted her to say she would come home with him. A life without her or Dick or Cassandra was a difficult one. One where he was not allowed (not that he had ever asked, but Tim would know the answer if he ever tried).
Somewhere in the back of Tim's mind, the thought that she would finally accept that her, Dick and Cassandra were fighting a losing battle, and with her first words, he began to believe it.
"I need your help."
"What?" he asked, curiosity getting the better of him, more than anything else.
"I need you to get me out of the city."
The hope cracked, and something ugly began to take its place.
"For how long?" he asked, cold heart still splintering with her words. If she left Gotham, that would be that. All hope of a reconciliation would flicker and fade out. He needed her as that bridge.
Shaded under her hood, Stephanie blinked, expressionless and striking Tim as both very tired, and yet very determined.
"Forever."
"No," he choked out, shocking himself at how quickly it flew off his tongue. The strangled look of disgust and surprise on Stephanie's face made him turn away and try to gather his thoughts. "I mean, you're giving up? You would never do that. Not to Gotham."
Stephanie said nothing, and Tim continued to march back and forth, cape billowing out behind him. "No," he said, thinking out loud. "No, because so long as Dick and Cassandra fight, so will you. And you would only leave if they were. And even then... So there's something else."
He noted that she had not moved, her own purple cloak hiding her form from view. He could see however, that her arms were not relaxed, but rather up around around her sternum and stomach.
She stepped backwards, further into shadow.
"I cannot stay," she muttered. "I need your help to leave. There is no-one else who I could ask to help me get off the islands."
Tim followed her. "Why?"
Eight months since he had last seen her. Eight months...
Stephanie shifted, shoulder twisting one side of her cloak back. Tim looked down, and saw she was holding a sleeping baby.
Eight months.
"Not mine," she muttered, immediately killing his accusation dead. "But a friend."
"Where's this friend?" he asked.
"Dead."
Her eyes were frozen solid, daring Tim to be horrid. Instead he looked at his feet, and muttered a very quiet apology. The glare softened, tentative that maybe she was not being as foolish as Dick and Cassandra believed her to be.
"I don't understand," Tim argued. "You want to leave and start anew elsewhere? Leave Gotham to rot?"
"The baby, Tim. He's a meta. Those police you built... you tell me what their programming says about metas in Gotham."
As if sensing the mood, the skies darkened, threatening to weep on the estranged couple hidden in the shadows. A cold wind blew through Tim's hair and settled in his very bones.
"Oh."
The nerves in Stephanie's body language began to show. Nervously, she looked from side to side, cautious of any machine patrolling the streets. They were not impossible to disarm, but she was not prepped for a fight.
"He cannot stay here. But I cannot get him out of the city alone."
Tim's heart sank. "Why did you come to me?"
"Because you still love me," she stated, not even hiding the manipulation. "Because I believe you still want to make me happy and keep me safe. I am protecting this baby. He needs to leave. You’re the only one I could turn to to help. You know of ways out, I know it."
Tim stepped closer, inspecting the baby, and the woman holding him.
The ugly thoughts rose again.
Frightened at his ponderous silence, Stephanie tried once more.
"I do not believe you have fallen so far," she whispered. Balancing the sleeping child, she touched Tim's cheek. Even through the gloves, fire burned down through his nerves, sparking a thumping heart beat. Tim resisted the urge to groan. "Help me," Stephanie urged. "Please."
"What's his name?"
Stephanie bit her tongue, and Tim snorted. "If you want me to smuggle you out, you have to trust me."
Furious at the condescension, Stephanie grabbed Tim's chin, forcing him to look her in the eye.
"I will not beg," she insisted.
Tim jerked his head to the side. "You don't need to. Of course I'll help. He's just a baby."
Her tense muscles did not slacken. Instead, when Tim moved closer, she stiffened even further, as if repulsed by his presence. How far the two had fallen apart.
The ugly thoughts made their way out of Tim's mouth.
"I'll get the baby out of Gotham. I still know where Conner or Cassie are. Don't think Bart would be a very good... Anyway. I'll help him."
Stephanie started to relax, just for a moment, until Tim gave his ultimatum.
"But you have to stay. You come home, with me."
If Stephanie were not holding a baby, she would have slapped Tim. He knew this, and very quickly added, "Surely you see, the use of having someone on the inside, right Steph?"
Her pretty mouth dropped open, and she tugged her hood back so Tim could better see her expression. Even after years of fighting, she was still so soft featured. It did not stop her from looking furious, confused, and, to Tim's relief, hopeful.
He did not blame her. Promising to evacuate a wanted child whilst making a condition her literal and metaphorical imprisonment only to openly offer her a method of being a double agent... No wonder she looked pained.
"What game are you playing?" she hissed.
He could not let her leave. She was the only way he could make the connection to the others. He sighed, staring at the sleeping child. He did not miss the way Stephanie instinctively tilted her hip, angling the baby towards Tim to allow him a better look.
In another life...
"A long one," he murmured, still enraptured by the babe. "You said it yourself Steph. You’re the only one I can turn to to help."

if you're still doing ships, let's give Weiss some love with her 3 most popular ships:
Whiterose, Freezerburn and Checkmate
Whiterose: its... not entirely my thing. I think this one just kind of falls into "fandom brainrot" for me where a lot of the people who ship it tend to forget a lot of traits between the two and condense them down to singular traits of "sunshine and tsundere". The reality of it is thst they're both too smart for their own good and disregard everything to try out whatever crazy idea the other has. I'm also really tired of the shipping wars that a lot of the whiterose fans like o indulge in
I'll write for it, but it's not really my cup of tea.
Freezerburn: this one holds a soft spot in my heart, maybe because my otp is ladybug. Yang and Weiss are great for eachother in a way to let themselves loosen up and not have to worry about anything. Yang doesn't have to be a big sister around Weiss, and Weiss can let her responsibilities as heiress fade for brief moments.
Monochrome/checkmate: enemies to rivals, the definition of rivals in love. Sure, they can be friends, but they still feel like they have to one up eachother in everything, leading them to their love language being competition. Weiss promised to be the best teammate ever and she won't let that down and Blake will do everything she can to make things up for running off.
Yang amd Ruby find no peace between these two.

Temporary OPEN requests
Hello friends, I am in a writing low and since I miss the only hobby I am good at, I thought maybe you all could help me get my ass out of my seat. So I will temporarily open requests. This is open infinitely, or at least until I stop feeling like doing some. I hardly get asks these days so I doubt I will be overloaded.
Answering these might take as long as they might take. Depending on what fandom it is I might post on @konohamaru-sensei instead of here.

Comfort piece of media (movie, show, book, etc) and why?
Oooooh interesting ask!
All of my comfort medias have helped me get through different school levels.
I technically don’t have a comfort movie but my top 2 are
1.) The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep - the story of a little boy befriending the Loch Ness Monster, it’s super adorable
2.) Up - As sad as the opening of this movie is, I just love the story. Doug and Kevin are my favorite characters but special shout out to Russel and Carl.
My comfort tv shows:
1.) Once Upon A Time - I often call this show my “soulmate show” and I know a lot of people even the fans, criticize the writing, this show means so much to me. I was a huge Disney fan as a kid, so to see these characters in a more modern story got me intrigued. LITERALLY when I first saw the trailer in a MOVIE THEATER, I got chills. I was instantly drawn to the show and started it back in middle school. It got me through high school. It’s the show I turn to the most when I’m anxious or stressed.I know a lot of the episodes by heart and I’m not sorry about it. My biggest comfort character and OTP come from this series: Emma Swan, and Captain Swan. I felt like I related to Emma on a very personal level, even if I didn’t share every experience she had. This show taught me about hope and optimism even in the most difficult circumstances. It taught me that True Love isn’t just “love at first sight.” In fact, it gave me the standards I have for how a Significant Other should treat me (so I have a pretty high standard). I can listen to the OST of this show and remember the scenes some of the songs played over, I also end up tearing up because of it. I don’t think there will be another show (I’m sorry PJO tv show, I still love you) that will hold my heart (HA) and soul as much as OUAT will, even the cast themselves were special to me. I remember seeing their interactions and interviews in the San Diego Comic Cons as well as the bloopers on the dvd versions of the series and I felt like they were a little family. I will rewatch it a billion times and never get tired of it. The finale still makes me break down in tears. Other fave OTPs: Outlaw Queen, Snowing, Belle with literally any other character besides Rumple
2.) NBCs Grimm - Started this show the same time as OUAT, in middle school and it got me through high school. I don’t have a comfort character here but the characters DO mean a lot to me, especially Monroe, Nick, Rosalee, Juliette and Trouble. This show is the reason I became interested in the Gabriel Knight series (it has an overall similar story). I learned about folktale creatures I had never heard about before,like Krampus. It has a lot of references to other stories (Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Bears, Frankenstein are just a few I can think of) with their own twist on it, but was different than OUAT. They also included their own lore for the creatures in the world as well as the titled “Grimm”, which made me even more invested in the story. I remember crying when I first saw the finale. This show also has writing issues but, honestly tell me a series that DOESNT have imperfections. Favorite OTPs: Monrosalee, Silverhardt
3.) Lucifer - The idea that the Devil can be redeemed? *Chefs Kiss* I don’t watch this show on repeat as often because of.. personal family reasons. This show got me through high school into early college. But I felt myself relating to Lucifer (ironically), and one of the episodes where he forgives himself? THAT made me cry. Chloe, Ella, Trixie and Rory are some honorable mentions, plus the parallels between Deckerstar and Captain Swan? *another Chefs Kiss* Favorite OTPs: Deckerstar, MazikEve (is that their ship name?)
4.) The Percy Jackson series (Including the tv series as well as the books + the Heroes of Olympus) - Got me through middle school and into early high school. I was a huge Greek Mythology fan so having this modern take on the gods and goddesses was really cool. When I found out that the Heroes of Olympus was a CONTINUATION. I HAD to read it, (if only for my boy, Percy). I actually had a birthday where my cake had the Camp Half Blood logo on it and I got the “Blood of Olympus” as a birthday gift. With the release of the new tv show, my love for the series has rekindled, I’ll even try to read the new books. Comfort character: Percy Jackson. Favorite OTPs: Percabeth, Jason x Piper, Leo x Calypso, Grover x that one forest Nymph whose name I forgot
My comfort video games
1.) The Gabriel Knight series (specifically, The Beast Within) - My most current hyperfixation; yes, I know it’s a 30+ year old point and click adventure game. I was introduced to it by.. let’s say an old friend..because I really liked Grimm and he told me it was very similar. Low and Behold, it WAS. It got my through the pandemic as well as the rest of college. The stories of the first two games are, personally, my favorite. Although the series is very tragic and not at all the “happy endings” I was used to, I was still invested, particularly after my comfort character became Baron Friedrich von Glower (even AFTER I learned he dies 🥲yes, I cried here too) became SO salty invested that I started writing fan fic, drawing and even buying the games for myself to fill the void and continue my denial. I also related to him on a very personal level. I call this series, “The One I Used Necromancy On” because I (personally) feel like I rose it from the dead (ironically considering my comfort character) and I continue to find people who like the series or are just getting into it. Favorite OTPs: Angelwolf/Klower, Gknight and now Knightamura.
2.) Alices Warped Wonderland - I was introduced to this by the same.. old friend.. that introduced me to the Gabriel Knight series. As you can guess by the name, it is a retelling of Alice In Wonderland, except with a bit of horror and trauma added to the story and this version of Alice is Japanese! The story is VERY emotional, especially the sixth chapter and the endings, I even cried in one of the endings. Although I kinda related to Alice more, my comfort character became Cheshire Cat. Favorite OTP: None, I ship Cheshire and Alice platonically though.
3.) Night in The Woods - Got me though high school, but didn’t become a comfort media until early collage. As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, this game hit close to home. The Existential Horror/ Cosmic Horror beautiful ties into the struggles of mental illness, and the acceptance of change. Comfort Character: Mae Borowski, who I related to personally mainly because of her struggles with mental illness (although not the same). This game (along with the Gabriel Knight series) has some of my favorite dialogue, ever. A few other interactions between the characters, as well as the ending made me cry (see a pattern?). Favorite OTPs: Greg x Angus (idk their ship name).
4.) The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask (SPECIFICALLY) - Even though I’m not the biggest LoZ fan, and I’ve only ever seen other people play this game, it still left an impact on me. How the whole story revolves around putting others happiness over yourself, even if it means doing it repeatedly to (seemingly) no avail. The fact that even after Skull Kid destroys Termania over and over again because he felt like his friends abandoned him and they forgive him and STILL consider him their friend? The true victory not just beating Majora, but saving and healing Termina and it’s people, including the Skull Kid? Chills. Goosebumps and tears EVERY TIME. Favorite Character: Skull Kid, this version of him SPECIFICALLY
Honorable Mentions:
- Criminal Case (mobile game)
- Undertale
- Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Origami King specifically
Thanks for the ask!

ACCEPTING ━ Give Me a Character;
Floyd Leech.
How I feel about this character
Floyd is hands-down one of my favorite characters. I love so much about him, from how he interacts with the world around him to his personality, which ( mood swings aside ) can go from goofy to terrifying in seconds. He's so much fun, and his child-like way of expressing his enjoyment is precious. The gap-moe between that and his role as a member of what's basically an in-school gang and his appearance of a member of some sort of fish mafia gives me life. He's the best boy!
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Obviously Riddle is my number one. From their manga chapter to in-game moments, the shipping hints are ridiculous. I think they're so hilarious because they go so far beyond opposites attract. But I also think Floyd would be really good for Riddle, because when he feels like it, he's incessant about things, so I think he would be the type of partner who would be really good at teaching Riddle to loosen up and that it's okay to just take a break and have a good time.
I also ship him with Kalim, just because I think their interactions are really cute. That one unfortunately doesn't go too deep for me jgdhrsej but I love every piece of fanart I see, and I love the idea of Kalim's never-ending happy energy being like a jumpstart for Floyd's bad moods ( i.e. really good for getting him out of them ). I think he'd give Floyd as much attention as he wants and would support him and adore him in ways Floyd isn't used to, since he's usually the one getting in people's faces with his attention!
Honorable mention for Idia. I think Floyd and Idia is a hot ship lmaoooo.
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Floyd and Jade, obvi. What more can I say? They're great. I haven't liked a pair of twins this much since the Hitachiins, so,,, it's been years.
Floyd and Azul is wonderful too! They seem to have a complicated relationship ( Azul seems to have one with both twins ), where, imo, Azul seems to question their friendship often/think that whatever they have could be easily ended if the twins get tired of him and decide he isn't providing suitable entertainment anymore. It's the prey holding the predators on a leash which is kind of awesome, even more so because the predators are letting it happen. But then, going beyond that, there's something very genuine there since they've all been together since they were kids. It makes me happy.
My unpopular opinion about this character
I don't really have one ( I don't think ). Maybe that he isn't stupid? I know that's a fact given the canon material, but certain parts of the fandom like to portray him that way which isn't something I enjoy.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
I really want to be able to have a look deeper into the family life and childhood of the twins. I want to see why they are the way they are, because out of all of the other non-housewardens, they seem to be seriously inherently screwed up somewhere. And that's even taking Rook into account, because while I can see Rook portraying certain obsessive traits and maybe a hint of sadism at time, most of that seems teasing, and he seems to have a large heart behind all of it, whereas Floyd and Jade seem completely self-serving and are liable to wage psychological warfare on others ( Jade ) or get just plain violent ( Floyd ). I also want to see more about their relationship with each other! I know they love each other and care a lot, we've seen that part is genuine. But I want an even closer look. How similar are they? Does this ' love ' they have for each other extend past self-interest? In other words, would they sacrifice for each other or put the other above their own selfishness? I'm not sure, but I'd like to see.

Incorrect quotes for Elizabeth x Hamid; Arwen x Tyril; Malia x Troy and Zoe x Colt under the cut (beware, there are a lot of them! I couldn't stop! this is simply too fun!):
Elizabeth x Hamid
Hamid: I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response.
Elizabeth: Wow. They sound stupid.
Hamid: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense.
Elizabeth: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!”
Hamid: I guess you’re right. Hey Elizabeth, I love you.
Elizabeth: See! Just say that!
Hamid: Holy fucking shit.
Elizabeth: If that flies over their head then, sorry Hamid, but they're too dumb for you.
Hamid: Elizabeth.
Hamid : Fruits that do not live up to their names; passionfruit, grapefruit, honeydew and dragonfruit.
Hamid : Fruits that do live up to their names?
Hamid : Orange.
Elizabeth : The next time I open up to someone, it'll be my autopsy.
Hamid: I warned you.
Hamid: I'm perfect.
Elizabeth: Of course I have a lot of pent-up rage, you fool! I've been the same height since I was twelve!
Hamid: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.
Elizabeth: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.
Hamid: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??
Elizabeth: Is it working?
Hamid: What are you in the mood for?
Elizabeth: World domination.
Hamid: That's a bit ambitious.
Elizabeth: You are my world.
Hamid: Aww...

Hamid: Yes.
Elizabeth: I'd sleep.
2. Arwen x Tyril
Arwen: Assert your dominance over your friends by kicking them in the face, and then giving them a little smooch on the forehead!
Tyril: Hey, quick question. How petty am I allowed to be?
Arwen: I was put on this earth to do one thing.
Arwen: Luckily I forgot what it was so I can do whatever I want.
Tyril: Dracula had it right, sleep all day, live alone in a castle, and explode into bats to get out of all social situations.
Arwen: *coughs blood*
Tyril: Don't die, Arwen!
Arwen: Don't tell me what to do!
Tyril: Caffeine no longer keeps me awake while I work, so instead I have Arwen periodically send me texts saying ‘we need to talk.’
Tyril: It gives me the right amount of adrenaline and fear I need to keep going.
Tyril: Where are your parents?
Arwen: What are parents?
Tyril: That’s just about the saddest thing I've ever heard.
Tyril: This is a very powerful artifact. You’d be messing with some forces we don’t fully understand.
Arwen: That sounds like a dare to me.
Tyril: Oh my god.
Arwen: Can you cut me some slack, Tyril? I’m sort of in love.
Tyril: I’m sorry, but that’s really not my problem.
Arwen: I’m in love with you.
Tyril: *blushes* Oh. That brings me in the loop a little.
Tyril: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-
Arwen: I wrote you a poem.
Tyril, already crying: You did?
Arwen: Tyril, you love me, right?
Tyril: Normally I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere I won’t like.
3. Malia x Troy Hassan
Troy: I’m in love with you.
Malia: We called off the prank war last night at midnight, dork.
Troy: I know.
Malia: Ah. Okay. Um. Cool. Neat. Very cool. Cool. Cool. Coolcoolcool-

Malia: *angrily presses Troy against a wall* WHERE'S THE MONEY?!
Troy: ...
Troy: Are we about to kiss-
Troy : We got a free day now. What do you wanna do? Eat? Sleep? Nap? Snack?
Malia: When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Malia lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the person who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Troy : Malia, remember when you said you weren’t going to interfere with my love life?
Malia: No, that doesn’t sound like me at all.
Malia: You’re an idiot.

Troy : Making four accounts.
Malia, tearing up: Really...?
4. Zoe x Colt Kaneko
Zoe: Did you buy eggs like I asked?
Colt: Even better!
Zoe: What the fuck did you-
Colt: *holding up a chicken* Her name is Fluffy.
Zoe: Hey Colt, do you have any hobbies?
Colt: Swimming...
Zoe: Really? That’s cool. I never expected you to-
Colt: In a pool of self hatred and regret.
Zoe: Isn’t a bit dangerous?
Colt: Zoe, please. We’ve in a lot of unexpected predicaments before and we always escape unhurt.
Zoe: ...
Colt: Okay, we sometimes escape unhurt.
Zoe: ...
Colt: Alright, we escaped unhurt once... Then we hurt ourselves in the way home.
Zoe: Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm?
Colt: If you can ask the questions without the usual level of stupid.
Zoe: I still have no idea how I’m attracted to you...
Colt: Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me, and no take backs, honey.
Zoe: You can’t have a gun on stage!
Colt: WRONG AGAIN! I can have a gun, and I must have a gun, that’s the rule of Chekhov’s Gun: have a gun. And now that it’s been seen, I will have to shoot someone before the end of the play.
Zoe: I'm trying to juggle family life and work life but I can't seem to find a balance. What do you suggest I do to keep everyone happy?
Colt, deadpan: Quit your job, kill your family.
Zoe: You have to apologize to them Colt.
Colt: Fine! But I must warn you that this might make me a better, nicer person and that is NOT the person you fell in love with!
Zoe: When you said 'Magic in Bed', I wasn't expecting this...
Colt: *pulls out card from deck* Now, was this your card?
Zoe: Holy moly-
Colt: Talk dirty to me~
Zoe: Inflation is a serious problem and lumber prices are at a high.
Colt: Wha-
Zoe: The economy is in shambles.
Colt: Go fuck yourself.
Zoe, smugly: Sure, but only if you watch

Winteriron is such an underrated ship.
My marvel OTP will always be Stony
But
Bucky has nightmares, they all do, but his grow violent inside his mind taking memories and morphing them into fragmented images of pain. He lies awake staring at the ceiling wondering if tonight is going to be a night of screaming or a night of half assed sleep.
The nights he couldn't even try he used to go to the gym — run the track or beat the hell out of a bag.
Until one night he stops at the communal kitchen for a cup of coffee and sees Stark muttering over a tablet covered in oil.
"The hell you bustin' up at two in the mornin', Stark."
Tony hardly acknowledges him. His expressions lifts, focuses, then flits away as he seems to remember he's in the kitchen.
"Oh." He stumbles up, moved clumsily through the room towards the elevator and disappears.
He'd left his tablet, coffee and a wrench sitting on the counter.
After that Bucky's sleepless nights were spent meandering around the Tower until he'd happen upon Tony and coaxing him into some sort of state where he realized he wasn't asleep and went to bed.
Some nights it didn't work and those were the nights Tony invited him to sit in the media room, help himself to a cup of the special coffee Clints not allowed to touch or 'Wanna see the magic of the 21st Century, Buckaroo?"
Magic is right.
His nights no longer consisted of wandering aimlessly and hoping he'd wear himself out. Now he discovers what nannites are, he learns how to make an omelet one handed and now can take an entire iron man suit apart and point out what different components are.
Best of all: he's learned Tony.
That's the genius is more than a snark attitude and flashy suits. He's broken, he's immature, he's fighting tooth and nail to keep the people he loves safe and alive.
"What keeps you up, iccee-freeze?" Tony murmured one night when they'd bunkered down in the lab with a sci-fi queue going and hot cocoa replacing caffeine.
"Screaming." Bucky shakes his head, "I can't tell the different between what's real and what's what they put there. I've had someone else's fingers in my mind so long I no longer what's me and what's them."
Tony didn't say anything. He lifted his cup towards the Winter Soldier and shifted another blanket towards him.
A few nights later the genius leaned over a rusted hunk of a car, "I had heart surgery performed in a cave." He says it in a way that spoke as if all open heart surgeries are done in cold, damp caves, "I rebuilt myself in the blood of the people I killed. That I let others kill. I've had more peoples hsnd in my chest, holding my heart in their palms then I've cared to remember."
Tired eyes met tired eyes. Tony looks down towards Buckys arm, his fingers tapping at the case of his reactor, "A constant reminder that my slate is never blank. Being broken open and forced back together, James, that's what I know best."
Bucky kisses him with his metal fingers curling over the arc reactor and feels warmth seep into his bones for the first time in decades.

Any Tales of - game for the fandom ask :D
going with Symphonia! My first and fave Tales game <3
the first character i ever fell in love with:
It's hard to narrow it down but I did really love Lloyd when I first played! I love my dumb protagonists but he's also just such a good character with really good growth. I think after is Dirk because DWARF DAD and I always wanted to have more with him. We need more dwarves in media!
a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:
I guess the best answer here is Zelos lol. I think I used to like him plenty and found him funny but, well, a lot of that has tempered down over the years or maybe I just got very tired of seeing him as a focus in fandom and am bored of it. I played the remaster to remember his good points as a character and I came out of my replay loving Regal more oops.
a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:
Hm, nothing here really applies. When I first played I actually didn't have many ships at all, even Lloyd and Colette wasn't a full on ship for me! (But I did like them interacting a lot haha). All other ships I eventually liked I still like now.
my ultimate favorite character™:
It has to be said: it's Colette! I do switch back and forth with loving both her and Lloyd together as my pair of faves! But I think Colette ultimately wins out, especially as I've grown older. Much of her story and her struggles just hits for me in ways no other character's background really does in Symphonia. Also religious conflict/guilt of a character is also delicious to me when done well.
prettiest character:
Ohh there's a lot! So it's hard for me to pick. Ofc I think Colette is pretty but so is Lloyd, he's my pretty boy. :D But! I think after watching the OVA, I remember Regal looking so pretty in a way that his in-game model could never do. Regal it is. Also we love a beefy man who cooks, it ups that prettiness.
my most hated character:
Hmm, probably one of the Grand Cardinals, so maybe I'll go with Kvar! HE AWFUL. But fun to write though when I did that one time haha.
my OTP:
*falls on floor* if my blog title isn't obvious, colloyd is my ultimate of ships, the best of my otps. Lloyd and Colette together is food for my soul. I love every aspect of them and they have completely devoured me that I didn't even realize how much I was already shipping them until years later. I emphatically believe Symphonia is their story and about their relationship. The way they understand each other better than anyone, the way they're silly with each other, the way they just love each other?? They do love each other, that's canon. Platonic or romantic (but it's romantic in my eyes) and I am so invested in their dynamic and want to explore every possibility with them. I have apparently written half a million words about them help me.
my NOTP:
:) Sorry but I legit dislike Lloyd with the z-man lmao. I used to be indifferent (I just found it so boring) but now I'm honestly very uncomfortable with it (fandom hasn't helped). Oh well!
favorite episode scene:
I'm going with scene here and it's a tie between the coffee scene and the reveal of Colette's crystallization. Of course both have to do with Colette and how things keep being awful for her :') But I love the coffee scene for Lloyd and how he reaches to hold her, and also how Lloyd assures Colette is not disgusting at all when she has a breakdown of her reveal. Him walking to her to be NEAR HER even as she tries to hide away her sickness gets to me.
Another favorite is the ending: We got big trees, we got beautiful music, we got COLLOYD WINGS. This lives in my heart.
saddest death:
The closest is Corrine! I think what makes it sad more though is Sheena's reaction to it. Also just such a good performance of the voice actress too.
favorite season plot/arc:
Going with plots and arcs in the game, but I think from discovering Colette losing her humanity and seeing this play out throughout the Sylvarant arc of the game is so good and it does make you genuinely wonder what will happen. And when we get to the Tower of Salvation and fight Remiel and KRATOS. I was stoked playing through that when I was younger.
least favorite season plot/arc:
Hm, probably when we're doing the Tethe'alla temples and such. Pacing gets a little off and also with more characters we start to lose the focus on other people. I think it picks back up once the group focuses on curing Colette's sickness.
character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate:
Lol hate is a strong word, I'm more just fatigued of him but heyyy it's Zelos! I am just uninterested. Also Kratos to a lesser extent, but oddly my opinion of him has actually raised a bit more over the years. So he's like, middle. gj, kratos.
my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:
Maybe Mithos? I like Mithos. This boy can fit so much messed up trauma and manipulation. Combined with the uncomfortable idolization of his sister to the point he no longer sees her as an actual person (if he ever did?). And the fact he can genuinely be creepy?? Still my fave Tales villain.
my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:
Colette. ;_; She deserves so much more. Also, Dirk is a close second, he deserves more attention! The dad that stayed!
my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:
So fun fact, I started shipping Lloyd/Mithos a bit purely because of some jp fanartists, and now I'm very intrigued. (I own two doujins of them now haha). I think there can be so much fun interactions between them, and none of it would be good for Lloyd. But it's fun. One day I will write something with them and no one will have a good time.
my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:
I think this would be Kratos/Anna for me, and I've written several fics of them too. I get the appeal in a way, but ultimately Anna is a character with... no established character lol. Even Kratos barely ever talks about her as what she was like as an actual person? I know plenty of people love this ship and I've seen interesting things done with it, but my investment isn't much for them. I honestly mostly like this ship for the baby Lloyd fluff you'll get from it lol.

Hi!! I've been watching One Tree Hill and ship Brucas so much. I was wondering if you could talk about all the reasons you prefer Brucas to Peyton/Lucas? I have trouble articulating it.
Firstly I’m sorry it’s taken me 5 years to reply to this, and you probably won’t even see it now 🤣
Firstly I’m a big lover in the ‘opposites attract’ trope and most of my OTPs fit within that.
Brooke brought out a different side in Lucas - she got him out of his shell, she made high school fun for him rather dragging him down into further depressive-ness and as well as this he also made her a better person.
Peyton pushed him away time and time again where as Brooke only ever tried to get closer to him. Lucas spent so much time convincing her how much he loved her. He brought up on various occasions how he thought Brooke was the one for him. When he thinks about who he wants next to him when his dreams come true - he thought of Brooke first. When his book gets published, he calls Brooke.
After the shooting and the Leyton kiss, Lucas spends all his time with Brooke (and Karen) and doesn’t give the kiss a second thought because it was the kiss of a girl who thought she was dying and didn’t mean anything to him - you’re not exactly gonna push away a dying person are you. There is barely any Leyton in season three, and I feel like Peytons admission of feelings at Naleys party really comes out of no where.
Brooke holds Lucas at arms length because she got hurt so badly the first time. A girl who before Lucas was all about fun and didn’t want anything serious, was now so in love with a boy she was constantly worried about getting her heart broken.
People pushed Lucas and Peyton together because they were both ‘tortured’. They were a train wreck whenever they were together for the most of the beginning of the show. I think Peyton was loving the attention in S1 more than anything because she’d been with Nathan who had been a jackass to her etc. Brooke and Lucas talked about the future, their dreams, where they were going to go to college and when they were going to be together. Peyton ran away at any talk of the future - whereas with Jake she was all ready to get married
I’m too tired to carry on but this from @hoezier perfectly explains it all in more detail ❤️

I was tagged by @katsigian, @gloryride, @pheedraws, @bnbc, and @nightcxty to share 5 songs that I associate with my OTP. 💙 Thank you, bbs! Sorry I took so long to do this. And I'm not gonna tag anyone since I got to this so late, but as always, feel free to use this as a sign to do it if you want to!
DON'T LET ME GO by RAIGN [x]
Where do we go when we walk on light? Who do we call at the edge of night? Carry me close like the teardrops in your eyes All I can give you is memories Carry them with you and I'll never leave I'll lay my head down, but when I lay my head down Don't let me go Hold me in your beating heart I won't let go Forever is not enough
BODY by LICK ft LUNA AURA [x]
Know what it's like to keep it inside The fire and fight inside me No, you can't hide that look in your eyes Baby electrify me Tell me what you want from me I'll tell you what I want from you I want you to put— Your hands on my body Come on baby, tell me I've been on your mind I know you can do it right
WHEN IS THE FUTURE by VNV NATION [x]
A city that is breathing Living through the cables Alive across the wires Faces without names Playing devils and angels Lit up by the strobes Moving hypnotized I caught your reflection In the neon on glass An electric silhouette Against the static sky It's a beautiful dream It's a beautiful life It's just a reflection A world I must survive We're children of the past Who look beyond today Designing the present So when is the future
THAT DEATH CANNOT TOUCH by THE BLACK QUEEN [x]
Put down your bags You're much too young to be tired Just pull away from the past We'll let it crush you with a smile Always Dragging pain across the floor I know hell's where you've been But death can't touch you anymore
VENGER by PERTURBER [x]
Every night the dream's always the same Can't escape these walls of dark decay Feel me drowning underneath the waves Every time it never seems to change Took you away and now They're gonna get it, all I have You know now you're gone And I just want to have you back again Hollow heart is all I have today Someone came and pulled away the veins They stitched it up and put me on display But nothing seems to cure me of the pain Took you away and now They're gonna get it, all I have You know now you're gone And I just want to have you back again
