Top 5 Couple Fights

Oooooooh this is fun! Thank you for a relatively easy category because so often the fights in these shows are unearned and it is very frustrating. I'm still limiting myself to 2023!

Wen and Alan, Moonlight Chicken

This fight felt real, it felt lived in, and it felt heartbreaking even though we only saw some of it. These two men love each other, but love isn't enough to keep them together, and that realization is as heartbreaking as the fight itself.

My Personal Weatherman

I am obsessed with the fights in My Personal Weatherman because the characters often don't know they're in one, or are in two different fights at the same time. This is all tied to how much I love how well the miscommunication is done in this show. These fights are legible based on what we know about these characters and what they've seen, even when they're completely unnecessary, and I adore that. Of course the best one is the ending fight and not just because Segasaki ties up Yo's wrists in his shirt.

Jack O'Frost

[Not enough gifs of this actual fight and I need to finish this list so this is what you get]. The fight at the very start of this show escalated so quickly, at first I wasn't sure about it even while I appreciated the performances and the intimate way it was shot. But when we get the backstory and we finally understand how much has been withheld and said vs. not said between them, and where their anxieties were rooted and the source of these big feelings, this fight makes so much more sense. This is a show that really benefits from being watched more than once.

La Pluie

[for some reason tumblr is giving me this link to Shan's blog rather than @liyazaki so tagging you, friend!]

Patts was pushed and pushed and pushed, and he lashed out in his insecurity, and when he asked for reassurance (this lineeee) Saengtai refused to give it to him and instead lashed out out of his own insecurity. This was a painful fight that was fully earned; all of the characters and their choices were legible even as they were infuriating. And it led to a critical awakening of Saengtai who was so caught up in his own sad boy narrative he hadn't realized how much he was hurting everyone around him.

My Beautiful Man S2

Kiyoi and Hira's communication issues continuing past S1 is very believable. I said elsewhere that Hira's work on his self-worth is more like a spiral than a straight line and that's very relatable and realistic. Kiyoi being hurt by Hira not valuing Kiyoi's feelings was such an important lesson for Hira to get more than once. Again, so earned, and resulted in the characters self-reflecting and moving a little closer to whatever a healthy relationship means for these two lol

Laws of Attraction

How much do I Love Tinn seeing right through Charn and Charn being big mad at him for Perceiving him so well? All of their fights are so good because they're about boundaries and mutual respect at their core, and they actually listen to one another and are based on how well they know one another (rather than what so often happens, when the characters seem to forget who the person they're in love with actually is). This barely counts as fight but I love it and it's my list so it stays.

Bonus entry that's only for me (shh stop counting the above):

Mr. Cinderella S2

Nobody but me and like 2 other people watched this show, but I'm actually obsessed with the couple fight in Mr. Cinderella s2 so thank you for the chance to rant about it on main some more. I need to start by saying: this plot is ridiculous and the ending sucks. But within this show, Dung and Khoa have an established relationship that has been tested in S1 and is being tested harder in S2, and to a point, they actually stand together and weather the storm, and it was rewarding to watch. And then slowly everything happening ("everything" here being an ABSURD amount of melodrama) starts to wear on Khoa, who sees himself as the one solely responsible for everything, and he unlearns some of what he learned in s1, he stops relying on Dung as his support, stops telling Dung what's going on because he doesn't want to burden him, and stops trusting Dung's word about what is happening. And so, when the jealousy plot hits, it's actually believable that Dung would be mad at Khoa, not for cheating, but for not respecting Dung as a partner in their relationship. It's well done, I wish so much that it were in a better show so that I could actually recommend anyone watching (I don't). I've seen this trope (assumed cheating) done so badly and so unearned in so many shows, this was so refreshing.

Extra bonus: Best couple fight scene of all time?

Gameboys S2

[I give up on gifs of this scene; have them upset for other reasons instead!]

What I love about the way they fight in this show is that, beyond it being earned etc. etc., the dialogue is so raw. They repeat themselves, they just yell over one another, they get rude, they try saying something to de-escalate and it gets worse instead. This is not a carefully crafted speech, or a single perfectly delivered devastating line; this is raw emotion. I recognize this fight, I've been in this fight, this is what I sound like when I fight lol And we see them really fight at least twice, and the way they fight in ep8 has changed as a result of the earlier fight is also SO good.

#2023 round-ups #bl meta #multi bl #thank you for the ask! #this one was very fun #i got close to actually being good about following the rules on this one...sort of #moonlight chicken #my personal weatherman #taikan yoho #jack o'frost #la pluie #my beautiful man s2 #utsukushii kare #laws of attraction #mr cinderella s2 #twig talks #gameboys s2 #i feel very strongly that a fight needs to be about the characters as they are and where they need to be in order to work as a couple #and so many shows regress their characters in a fight in order to be able to have a fight and resolution #rather than letting the characters actually grow and mature #anyway I have strong opinions about fights and they're rarely done well lol

#14 On the post you just reposted

hi anon ! thanks so much for submitting this one and thank you to @steddie-interactions for creating this ask game ♡

this accidentally became not so safe for tumblr as I was writing it soooo minors close your eyes and the rest of you: there's some light filth in this one for sure....proceed with caution. also there's baby girl steve on high sooooo again do with that what you will :)

14. Do you think Steve would join Corroded Coffin or only be a fan?

Hmm. This is a tough one, only because I can see it both ways.

If we're going solely off of his canon character, I imagine he'd be just a fan. I think he'd attend all the shows, help Eddie with his eyeliner before he goes on stage, and drag Robin and Nancy to every single gig. He'd make signs, brings flowers, and wear CC merch 24/7. Total supportive boyfriend, for sure. He loves seeing Eddie in his element (and especially loves the sex they have afterwards when he's still high on the performance adrenaline).

However (and I like this idea just as much), if we're going slightly OOC and really playing up the baby girl energy--he's 10000% joining the band.

Steve would start out as a devoted groupie, make eddie fall stupidly in love with him, hook-up with him backstage, and once eddie finds out steve can sing (really well), they sign him on as a fully-fledged member of the band. and steve wears some pretty wild stuff on stage. he loves to tease the audience, loves to press up close to eddie while he shreds on the guitar, loves to flash his lace panties "accidentally" for the crowd. loves feeling eddie's cock swell up against his ass when he leans his head back on his boyfriend's shoulder to sing the song he wrote about him. he's a gorgeous, high energy mess of lace, leather, glitter, and gloss. and eddie can't help but be completely infatuated and transfixed by him. encourages steve to push the envelops even further by fingering him on stage while he tries to hit a high note--he's not wearing any panties under his skirt so they get quite the view...

and bc i love thinking about/making mood boards for these types of things. here's some baby girl rockstar steve inspo of how i imagine he might look on stage....

@jjoesjonas i'm 99.99999% sure you'll be into this lol

OSAF - Chapter 2 - Nowhere to Run

TWs: captivity, strangulation, electrocution, burns, beating, cut skin from blunt force trauma, broken bones (elbow, nose, fingers)

Lian Adams had a normal life until Aaron Strider decided to collect a new toy.

Lian wakes up on his knees, in a cage. Something thin and tight is wrapped around his neck, and he can’t breathe right, the air whistling and wheezing with every gasp. It’s not enough but it’s enough to live on.

His hands scrabble desperately at the thing around his throat and he finds it’s a zip tie, the thin plastic synched tight enough his fingers skim against pulled taut skin, little wrinkles forming as the skin threatens to buckle.

It’s lashed against the thin bars of his cage, and it prevents him from sagging down and lying vertical. He can feel his feet, bound together in a similar fashion, but his hands are left free and he doesn’t know why.

“Good morning, darling.” A warm rich voice snaps through the haze and he stiffens, eyes flicking about the cage and trying to locate the source.

It’s the man from before, from the parking lot, lounging in a chair that looks right out of a high end magazine, hand cradling his chin as he enjoys the view, green eyes amused, a smile softening the edges of the man’s cheekbones and a jawline as sharp as glass. Feathery fluffy red hair falls down in fiery waves, but it’s such a color that Lian can’t tell if it’s dyed or real.

The man is wearing something neat and high end, a crisp white button up, with the long sleeves rolled up to his elbows, neat black slacks and shoes that shine and squeak.

Lian opens his mouth. “W-who—“ he cuts himself off as his throat seizes and he coughs, harshly and the force of it causes him to choke as his head jerks forward.

The man smirks. “Oh, I’m sorry darling did I forget to introduce myself?” He stands up, hands casually tucked inside his pockets without a care for how they crease the slacks as he prowls forward, circling the cage. “Aaron Strider, but you darling, can call me Master.”

Lian shudders. “L-like hell!”

Aaron tsk’s and shakes his head, hand snapping to a panel on the wall to the side of the cage. “I had so hoped you would be good, darling.”

And then he snaps the leaves down, and a shock of electricity runs through the metal bars and Lian screams as plastic melts against his neck and ankles and he seizes, tears frying on his cheeks.

Nowhere in the cage is safe, and just when he’s about to pass out from the pain, the electricity stops. He’s left shaking and shuddering from the phantom shock, wheezing and trying to catch his breath.

He can hear the cage door unlatch and Lian is roughly grabbed by the hair, forced to look up at Aaron’s impassive face. “Now let’s try this again, darling.” His voice is gentle even as his grip is iron. “What is my name?”

“N-nnnn—“ Lian gurgles, shuddering.

“Shhh… it’s over now, I just need one simple thing from you doll, that’s it.” Aaron soothes, hand stroking Lian’s tan cheek. “What is my name?”

Lian flinches, coughing out a whimper.

That hand circles his throat, cutting off his air despite the cooling plastic still too hot to touch. “Wrong answer, darling, I asked you a question.” He sings softly, and then pulls his other hand away, dragging Lian out. “Naughty boys need to be punished for not answering.”

Lian scrambles, breathing hitching. “N-no, s-stop!”

Aaron chuckles. “You don’t make demands, darling. Not anymore.” He boops Lian’s nose before throwing him to the floor. There’s an audible scrape as he picks up something metal and heavy from the cement floor.

Lian is only able to scramble to his knees before the crowbar strikes him across the jaw and upwards, the teeth of the bar cutting across the bridge of his nose and smashing cartilage with an audible crunch. He goes down with a scream, red flowing across the grey tile to collect in the rusty drain.

Overhead, a bare lightbulb flickers, sending shadows sputtering across the floor.

Aaron brings down the crowbar again, smashing into Lian’s exposed elbow as he curls up, covering his face. He screams, shrill and stuttering, petering out into choked wheezes as the bone is transformed into a collection of tiny broken shards. Again and again the crowbar strikes, connecting with his hands which he had curled up around his head and along his back, his exposed ribs and thighs.

By the time Aaron is finally done, the young man is a broken bleeding mess, hands and elbow shattered, ribs bruised and blood spilling out from where skin had been lacerated.

Aaron crouches down, gripping Lian by the hair and pulling him upward. “What do you say, darling?” He asks softly.

Lian keens, shuddering out a sob. “S-stop…”

Aaron gently runs the curled base of the crowbar across Lian’s Adam apple, tapping his jaw as the young man swallows thickly. “Stop… what? What’s missing, darling?”

Lian shudders, breathing hitching. “S-stop… p-please M-Ma-ster—“

Aaron pulls Lian directly into his lap, cooing. “Oh, good boy!” He purrs, hands running through the bloody matted mess that had become Lian’s hair.

Lian shudders, hiccuping on a sob as the man jostles his injuries.

“Shhh… it’s over now, Master’s got you, darling.” Aaron coos, and then picks Lian up in a simple smooth motion, and carries him out of the room, leaving the cage and crowbar behind.
