just. . .do y'all remember when Polin actually loved each other in our fandom? do you remember when our posts were about how sweet they were together? when it was about how they were on one another's teams? when it was story after story and post after post of polin against the world? of 'I like you' 'I like you too'? of 'Is life meant to be this happy?' 'I think so'? Do you remember when we were all about how much Colin loved Penelope and Penelope loved Colin? When the biggest narrative was that they saw one another, made one another brave, brought out the best in each other? When the mirror was more than just a sex scene and was also a metaphor for what they saw in each other and how they reflected one another? When they were kind to each other? When we were kind to them as characters? When they were encouraging? When they were affectionate and loving and tenderhearted and messy and silly and loving with one another? When Penelope chose Colin at every turn and Colin chose her?

Where is it? Where is the love for our couple? Be honest, wanting Colin to grovel and suffer isn't for Polin fans. It's for Pen stans. Because us Colin fans are shown time and time and time again that it's okay to call a character we love an idiot, want him egregiously punished or humiliated, to see nothing good in his character at all. So who else is it meant for? I miss when we cared about them. I miss when there was a place we could go that was about their romance and tenderness. I miss when it wasn't just straight up hating on him, or us obsessed with Penelope getting with other characters, or thinking he's less than.

We have one of the *best* Male Love Leads in the entire series. And if you don't think that way. . .I just don't understand why you claim to ship this ship. We have an amazing pairing. A wonderful couple. A couple who cares about each other, a couple who builds one another up, a couple that are friends, a couple that has passion and happiness and so much potential.

Do you remember our gifsets gushing about how much he cared for her? Do you remember our metas about how they could bloom and flourish around one another? When we looked at how Colin was hypervisible but ultimately unheard and how Penelope was invisible but the loudest voice in the ton and sighed about how they fit so well with one another? Do you remember when Penelope was proud to have Colin as a partner and he showed her off at every turn? Do you remember when it wasn't a scorecard? When it wasn't about suffering and was about tenderness? Do you remember when they LOVED each other in our fandom? Do you remember when we loved them?

I remember.

And I miss it. I miss it so much.

#actually fuck it i'm untagging it #because no one fucking cares #i don't belong here and i should just take the fucking hint already #these posts are depressing #these TAGS are depressing #there's no love #there's no romance here anymore #our version of their romance has been distilled into 'heehee can't wait to see him jealous and crying over our queen'#but i want to see them in LOVE #ooey gooey happy sugary dripping in sap in love #these posts about groveling and jealousy and suffering aren't for them as a couple #where is penelope 'my husband' featherington?#where is how proud she is of Colin? how happy she is with him?#where's the tenderness? our bragging about how amazing our couple is? where's the heart eyes over their looks? their humor?#how they laugh together?#instead of seeing their lessons as quality time we've cheapened them into a series of suffering points #instead of looking at the suitors storyline and being like 'of course pen is still going to choose colin she loves him'#we want her to rub it in his face #instead of wanting introspection from colin and seeing him come to terms slowly with the fact that he loves penelope for all she is #we want a quick 'other people want her and that's not fair!' lightning strike realization #i miss when this couple was a couple #i miss when we loved them #and i miss when they loved each other #it's about drama not romance #it's about suffering and not joy #it's just painful loving this couple for both the characters and seeing them twisted into the worst versions of themselves

Thinking about how funny it is that Kristina and the Royal Court probably thinks that Wille and Simon's relationship won't last long and it's just a "teenage high" Wille is chasing when these two teenagers have better communication skills and mutual trust than any royal since the inception of the Swedish monarchy-

#like kristina babe they are not an unfortunate romance #they are here to make it work <3 #Wille won't marry any random person anymore just because it's sUiTaBle #autonomy over crown baby 😌✊#young royals #wilmon #prince wilhelm #simon eriksson #wilhelm x simon

I don't need to say anything, the real ones know

#fall out boy #my chemical romance #fob #mcr #danger days #folie a deux #they're the albums that fans originally hated because it wasn't like their previous incredibly successful hits #they had a whole different sound relatively speaking and then became legends after a short (long) break #sorta anyways #THE POINT IS THERE #THESE ARE FANTASTIC ALBUMS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT AND THEY DESERVE IT SO MUCH AGHDSAJKGDSHG #pretty. odd. could be in here too but they're a little different yknow #panic being GONE and also. they didn't have a comeback from that HASDHDSA #ryan ross and jon walker not being there anymore kinda makes it different since it can't be “underrated to throwback” or whatever I'm tryin #g to say dsfkjHdskjgh

saying I ship them is not enough, I need to carefully and intricately explain exactly how their dynamic works and what they mean to each other and how they rely on the other in a detailed fashion that encapsulates exactly how their relationship effects me as a person. I need to put their relationship in a way that is more than just ‘I think they should kiss’ because kissing is gross and I think they should fight each other and fight for each other instead as an act of love. And because there’s so many ways to love, defining it through only a small selection of actions does it no justice. I need to explain the ways they care for the other, especially the parts that are never spoken. The intricacies of love as a concept that aren’t bound to a simple romance will be spilled once I get my damn hands on it

#crow thoughts #this can be applied to like. three different things ships of mine lmao #man you’d think as a loveless aro with no intention of getting into a relationship of any kind #you think I’d probably be hating this but no. sorry I am obsessed with pushing the bounds of what love is #love is such an intricate concept that is expressed in so many ways and has so many different views #I will forever hate the people that simplified and dumbed it down to a specific platonic or romantic man fuck that for real #it’s exactly how I feel with the concept of gender; a wide concept with an array of options simplified down to control a medium #I don’t get love and I never will and I fully accept that #but dammit I will not sit here and let others define what it means to me. im too tired for that and too stubborn to comply anymore #romance is dead and I will be it’s killer

hm. i do not like chilshi 🤔

#sylph.txt #everyone likes to joke abt how much of an epic divorce man chilchuck is #but i dont think he ever even refers to her as his ex-wife. i could b wrong bc it's been a while since i read it tho #idk a lot of his arc is him learning to b more open w others (which is essentially what ended his relationship)#and u can see how much he's grown in the chapter where senshi goes into his past #to me it would b a lot sweeter for him to take on these lessons and go back to her and make things work #it's been 4 years but he's remained loyal to her depite their issues. idk to me it rlly does feel like he still loves her he's just a fool #it's made p clear that he's a coward and that he's quick to run away so actually committing to her would b a nice way to wrap things up #we don't get to see much of his wife so i get y ppl r quick to put him w the only other man in the party #but like senshi knows abt his wife too like i do not think he's gnna b making any moves here bc he has morals lmao #(*only other older man in the party. laios doesn't qualify for old man yaoi to most chilshi likers)#(even tho chilchuck isn't old either but shh they don't care abt that)#when it comes to senshi the changeling chapter def helped him w understanding how old the rest of the party is #but he clearly still views them as significantly younger than him #i don't think he views chil as a child anymore but for the majority of their time together he did #and so going from that to in a relationship is uhh rlly weird to me!#senshi has always taken a sort of parental role upon himself #w him romance is no where as interesting as the platonic bonds he has w the rest of the party #similar to how romance is entirely unimportant to izutsumi in the succubus chapter #idk i def don't hate the pairing and there r some takes on it that i find funny #but for me i just don't see anything between them i think ppl just want an m/m ship to play with #that ao3 gap is only gnna get bigger lmao

ANDDD piarles + 45 for the soulmatism 😘

45: Vampire and Hunter

Charles can smell him across the room. Or—he can smell what’s on him, anyway. There’s a scar from where his crucifix had burned him the last time that aches a little at the smell of the gold-plated iron: a perfect mark between his shoulderblades, deep enough that it’d actually left an indent in Charles’ skin he’d only noticed after, crawling into his coffin for the night. The scent of it had burned his nostrils the whole day through, but he’d paid it no mind.

No one fucks him like Pierre does, hunter or otherwise.

“Charles,” his voice calls, sounding strained from where he must be perched. “Are you here?”

“Yes,” Charles answers back immediately, and regrets it for a moment when he realizes just how desperate he sounds. His brothers keep telling him he has to cut Pierre off if he’s not going to feed on him, for a multitude of reasons Charles chooses to ignore, but it’s little moments of self-awareness like this that make him recall the warnings. It is unhealthy to be so attached to a human, Arthur had offered. Also, he is a hunter!

Two good points. Charles should not be so fond of a human, let alone a hunter of all things—he is a vampire, and has been a vampire for hundreds of years. There have been many beautiful human beings that have crossed his path, his bed.

None of them are like Pierre, though. Pierre, whose footsteps come stumbling forward unevenly, weight off-balance. The moonlight pouring through the window of the abandoned barn they always meet in is almost like a spotlight, the way it illuminates his forbidden lover from almost total darkness. For a fleeting second, Charles wishes he could see him in the sun.

“Charles,” Pierre says again. His voice has gotten softer with proximity, but is just as strained. A few more steps and Charles can tell that he’s drunk. Hence the stumbling. “Charles, my Charlo, my love—” he lurches forward and grabs hold of Charles, burrowing his face in the cold crook of his neck as he takes a shuddering breath.

“Pierrot,” Charles murmurs in reply, closing his arms around Pierre’s now-trembling body in an embrace he hopes can at least seem warm. “What has gotten into you? Are you okay?”

With a low groan, Pierre extracts himself from the embrace and instead presses his warm, alive hand to Charles’ cold, bloodless cheek. “My love,” he repeats, voice impossibly softer, “they know.”

“Who knows? What do they know?” But even asking the question feels ridiculous, because from the despair in Pierre’s voice, there’s only one answer. He hopes to whatever higher power that created his species that that isn’t true.

Pierre chokes on a broken little sound. “My brothers,” he whispers. “I don’t know how, Charles, but they—they know.” He takes another big, shaky breath. “About you and me.”

Charles has been running from vampire hunters for centuries. There is nothing he has not done to survive. He’s loved and he’s lost, he’s torn humans limb-from-limb, he’s sucked the life out of all things great and small. But here, in Pierre’s devastated arms, fear strikes him in his beatless heart for the very first time, like he’s being staked here and now. It’s not just any hunters that know of his existence. They are Pierre’s brothers. His brothers. Charles has brothers, and he’s been harboring a fantasy for too long that he’ll get to introduce them to Pierre someday: that maybe they’ll welcome him into the fold, that they’ll understand why Charles is in love with him and keeps him by his side, why he’s never once drank from him no matter how sweet he smells.

But that can never happen. It can never happen because his brothers are too old-fashioned to accept a human into their lives. It can never happen because Pierre is a hunter, and even though Charles knows he’d never kill a member of his family, the rest of his coven do not.

And now, it can never happen because Pierre Gasly’s family of vampire hunters now are aware of his existence, and for as boundlessly as he loves the man standing before him, he cannot extend that love to people who pose an unspeakable threat to his own family’s safety.

“Oh, Pierrot.” It’s all Charles can say. His brain will kick in, eventually: there will be a plan to turn him, even with his hunter blood, and there will be a plan to run away with him, and there may even be a plan to leave him behind the way he’s left so many other lovers through his life. But as Pierre collapses back into his arms, crushing his warm, blood-hot face against his ice-cold cheek, Charles can’t think of a thing right now but this: the thrum of Pierre’s pulse in his ears, the surprising strength of his human body, the memory of where they’d been only a few nights ago.

(Here. They’d been here, in this barn, buried in the old, dry hay as Pierre made the sweetest love to him that he’d felt in over two hundred years.)

“I am so sorry, mon ange,” he whispers defeatedly, hot tears spilling down his cheeks.

Charles swallows thickly. “I am too, my love. I am too.”

Frank isn't the out of touch one for not knowing that Reptilians Ruling The World started off as an antisemetic conspiracy theory. Thinking that its origins are common knowledge when it has been memed to death by normies for years now is a sign of how terminally online you are. Go outside.

#why do i even go on here anymore #this fandom loses it over the stupidest shit #leave your house leave your room interact with normal people jesus christ #mcr #frank iero #my chemical romance #ls dunes #also it turns out that frank was just referencing a satirical scifi news article so lmao

I will never understand the fanfic impulse to take characters with thee most coo coo bananas codependent/nuanced/toxic/insane relationship and turn them into love interests #1 and #2 in a generic romance novel. like what is even the point anymore

#i don't just mean 'bad' relationships that they're trying to romanticize or sanitize; this happens all the time with 'good' relationships #with some funk or flavor to them where they sand off all of the things that actually make them interesting and compelling #and you're just left with this bland ball of nothing like they're generic couple no. 4 in a clothing ad #like girl why are you even here then?? what was the appeal for you that made you want to write about these people in the first place???#you've taken all the flavor out???#it always reminds me of that one screenshot someone took of a tag on a succession fic that was like 'logan is a good dad au' and its like #okay well why are we here then? like that changes so much about the characters and the story (and also like the entire point #the show is making about power and abuse) that you might as well write about literally anyone/anything else bc you're sure as shit #not writing about these characters anymore #and like. there's nothing wrong with enjoying bland or formulaic romance i'm not gonna find you and come to your house #but if that's what you're into then why do you even like these people???#to be clear i don't mean 'take them and place them neroses and all into a suburban home to watch them chew the wallpaper and #confuse their neighbors' that's completely different
