New OT3 idea based on what happened to me today at the fair. I bought new earrings but I suck at putting them in so I asked my friends to put them in. Instead of just one of them doing it they both chose a side and put my earrings in at the same time. It was very adorable and sweet even though we were kind of blocking the way.
oh my god I can’t imagine Meenah and Kurloz successfully talking through their feelings without Feeder Vantas holding their fronds every step of the way, and while I’m sure somebody somewhere has a pale exhibition kink (cough Gamzee cough) I don’t think Meenah is one of those somebodies. Although Meenloz have been pretty extreme exhibitionists in other ways, huh? Does Meenah get her kicks humiliating people both in both a conciliatory and concupiscent sense? But she wouldn’t want to be the one whose feelings are exposed . . .
(I've never put the words "pale exhibitionism" together in my head but I do think I've written it for Gamkar several times without necessarily meaning to lmao. That's very funny in light of another fic I'm working on right now)
RE: Meenloz, I think the humiliation part for Meenah is bound up in a sexual response, so for a purely pale relationship it wouldn't be on the table--theoretically it could be for her blurred/vacillating thing with Kurloz, but also Kurloz is much more willing to have sex over a table in front of an entire banquet than he is to be completely vulnerable emotionally for 0.2 seconds. So like, I think she knows him well enough to know that if she pushed on that it would not go well.
Also yes, HER unwillingness to express any actual emotions in any helpful way is a big part of the problem, and she definitely can't take what she dishes out. What the fuck for should she be humiliated or embarrassed or vulnerable about shit. She's the empress. Fuck off with that. 😤
I put together some clips from the BNHA Hero Stage previews to one of the music pieces: Class A was lit but especially Bakudeku - look at the energy, the synchronization! They surely choreographed the two of them as a pair, that’s how well they know the source material!
ha ive actually been having a really interesting conversation with my friend about this specific topic, in that, i dont really ship steddyhands? or thats how i feel about it anyway- i ship each couple individually at the same time, but i dont tend to imagine them doing things i consider couple things all together (i also recognise my stance on that is weird because ill still stick them in the same bed and maintain thats not couple activity) specifically the appeal of steddyhands to me is how each couple inside it plays off each other and provides fulfilment that the third person cannot!
Steddyhands, for me, is about not having to be everything for someone and that being ok :)
we all talk about will and elizabeth fighting and marrying during the battle of calypso's maelstrom and whilst that is an iconic scene them fighting in singapore is very much being slept on
Running into the bus while on a bike is always such a top 10 anime betrayals moment. We want to go the same way. On other days I could go down this street with you in harmony. But now we must fight to the death for curb access
JESUS WOMAN !! I think that chapter was hotter than their first date. AND DONT YOU DARE leave us hanging or « trapped in a closet » for two weeks .. please
I was hoping to make that chapter burn, you're welcomeeeeeee 😏😏😏
Side note: now ya'll see why I freaked out when I realized I'd posted the draft versus the final pieces, because a TON of the sexiness like the symbolic, very-heavily-implied borderline sexual 'dancing' they were doing down in the thread while they were fighting was not in the draft I'd posted (because my editing style is going back to add a bunch of the details and stuff later, and just use sentence placeholders in earlier drafts). I WAS PROUD OF THAT, YA'LL NEEDED TO SEE IT, ALSO IT PLAYS INTO LATER THINGS.
And I'm definitely hoping not to leave ya'll there for two weeks cause I'm just as eager for Trapped In Closet Shenanigans, cause I LOVE THAT FUCKING TROPE! I've got some of written up already, I'm going to see if I can get the rest of it done up tonight and maybe tomorrow, and then edited as much as possible before Sunday when I leave, and then finish the last few scraps of editing in the evening on Mon and Tues when I'm done with my classes for the night.
