#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan jingyi #lan sizhui #wei wuxian #a-qing #(In case ppl are wondering: LJY and LSZ changed their hairstyles to get into character). #I love this scene very much its so silly and sweet #a-qing is WAITING though guys. Come ON #Lan Jingyi definitely is the type to read romance novels and be a deep romantic at heart. And of course vehemently deny it. #But the truth of the matter is that wwx and lwj don't follow those typical romance tropes (at least not at the moment) #wwx and lwj split up because they *know* the other one is perfectly capable on their own! It's about acknowledgement and respect. #The original line was “Why. I trust him and his skills” which is more accurate to the Audio Drama. Because that's the core of what makes #Wangxian so good! Trust!! Despite years of miscommunication- there is deep trust between these two! #They can and will delegate tasks because they are an effective team! #If you cannot trust the person you say you love and care about - you have killed that relationship. (Genuine relationship advice). #Add one more to the 'retelling of wwx's story from other's perspective' counter. #I know that wangxian get more lovey later on but I really feel like mxtx was trying to make a point here. The more interesting dynamics #are not one's that rehash lines and tropes from dime a dozen romance books (sorry boys)

Yeah having infinite alternative universes where the same two people love each other no matter the world no matter the time is nice but have you considered dedicating your entire existence to find the only universe where your loved one is happy, even if they're going to hate you in that universe, even if you yourself have to die in that universe, because their happiness always came before everything else? Because you never mattered as long as they were happy? Have you considered it??????

#I'm having feelings over Beast odazai like what the hell. seriously what the hell. #Like Dazai‚ literally‚ unarguably the most selfish character in the entire thing‚ gives up //everything// for one person?? Uh?????? #Dazai who never found meaning in living dedicated his whole existence to make the world beautiful to one person? #Found his meaning in making that person happy‚ and found it agreeable to die once that was accomplished?? #“But I do have one regret: I’ll never be able to read that novel you complete one day” GIRL??????????? #Bro I love everyone and I can't for the life of me get truly invested in a Dazai ship for self-explanatory reasons- #but man that might really be the most romantic ship of them all. #what the hell. what the hell. hello #osamu dazai #odazai #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd beast #mine #q. #21/01/23

good old-fashioned lover boy

#i think he is. a romantic loserboy at heart #tsukasa suou #tori himemiya #ritsu sakuma #narukami arashi #torikasa #enstars #ensemble stars #art tag #drew something else for this and after a long program crash n some other struggles decided i didn't like it anymore so #i couldve posted this hours ago #also i originally wrote another song's lyrics in the first pic........ #but i think this much more well-known one drives my point across better so #if the composition kind of falls badly on the first one thats what's missing <//3 #''couldn't you have written something else'' hm. no #ok thats enough of a rant. #tsukasa guy who gets his romance ideas from jane austen novels and is just. old-fashioned in a cute way #his whole thing is being chivalrous amd gallant in an old-fashioned way so of course he'd be like that abt dating too don't you think

male authors, writing m/m friendships: their bond will develop through hundreds of chapters, we will get to see each stage of their budding relationship, they'll constantly be in each other thoughts, their first instinct will always be to reach for the other, their first worry will always be the other's safety, they'll spend every minute of the day together, they'll be complete opposites and yet perfectly compliment each other, they will put everything they ever loved in risk just to keep the other safe, they will give their life without hesitation to save the other's, they will fight and argue and tease and joke around but they will always be at each other's side at the end of the day, they will plan to spend the rest of their lives together, sharing the happy moments and the hard times, the idea of being without the other being unthinkable, the thought of being always together coming naturally, as easy as breathing.

the same male authors, writing m/f romance: she'll like,, smile once at him and he'll start thinking of marrying her and having children with her idk

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #ch 368 #LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK SIR #i remember the romance being sudden but this is fucking ridiculous lmaooooo #it came out of fucking nowhere!!! it's so shoehorned in there they almost cut off the heel to make it fit!!! #i don't think they've spent more than like.... 12 hours in the same room in all the years they've known each other.... what the fuck.... #and in fucking ch 368!! literally 40 ch away from the ending!! #less than 10% of the way to the end!!! i thought i was exaggerating when i said 90% of the novel had no romance but no!!! #i was fucking right!!!! #this is........ infuriating skjashdkdsf #to be clear i am not saying friendships cannot do everything i just listed here #of course they can!! more friendships in fiction should be like that!! but!!! you cannot write a friendship between two characters like tha #and then put one of those two characters in a romantic relationship with a completely different character #and not give it even a tenth of the attention you gave to the friendship and expect me to find it realistic!!! or compelling!!! #either give it the same level of attention or just!! don't include it!! #that's also an option!! just leave the incredibly compelling friendship you wrote be the highlight of the novel!! #let it be the most important relationship of the plot!! let it be the happy ending for those characters!! that's perfectly okay!!! #FUCK!!!! #i'm fine i'm normal i'm okay

less romances novels with third act drama consisting of contrived break-ups due to silly miscommunication, more romance novels with third act drama where one of the main characters is kidnapped due to supposedly knowing the location of a secret stash of ten thousand stolen guineas and gets rescued by his cool smuggler boyfriend

#pie says stuff #pie reads #the secret lives of country gentlemen #kj charles #books #EXCELLENT romance novel honestly a new favorite #marshes! smuggling! family drama! romantic walks to look at beetles! #what else could you want in a book honestly

君终如日光之芒 ... 却无法再伴君同行。 // 君武勇之处世所罕见 ... 然终有负君之所望。

me for months: i will forever be bugged by the oddly intimate manner of speech in lxy's farewell letter - particularly in the way llh somehow ended up addressing dfs as 君 jun

revisiting the letter qwm wrote to lxy in which she addresses him as 君 jun: OKAY...

#anybody else up still dying over the romanticism of 君??? #what's up?? shrugs. my brain is not in the right condition to process anything beyond 'wow dihua romance'. i'm sorry. #i know the farewell letter was largely lifted from the novel. but it doesn't necessarily explain the logic in drama canon #other than connotations of intimacy it wants to make about their relationship (which also may not be BUT.) ughhHHhh (delusional) #then seeing qwm's letter to lxy used jun in indisputably romantic terms. is just. WELL. there we go. (delusional) #and the way the structure of the letter are worded so similarly mmm (it's the brainrot speaking) #lxy/llh: yes i'm gonna copy and learn that and pass it on #莲花楼 #mysterious lotus casebook #lhl #dihua #my posts

#cql #the untamed #theuntameddaily #so i was here watching this scene #a pretty lwj dressed in blue robes to impress his suitor but being ignored by wine #a wwx with one of his best outfits that he took out of nowhere and chasing his crush #a jc like wtf wwx what are you doing touching lwj so casually you want to die? #i don't know but aren't they in love already? because it seems to me #doesn't this look like a romantic scene from a novel? #it's late i don't know what i'm doing #wangxian #wei wuxian #lan wangji #xiao zhan #wang yibo #bjyx #my gifs #mygifs.scene

[chipistrate]

I'm not even upset that Vanessa and Mike are in love or whatever- I'm really just upset that they're rushing into it

Vanessa refers to their meeting as a "meet cute" and Mike tries to kiss her mid-trauma dump- like is that??? Really necessary????

Can we not wait until they know each other a bit better????? Have some nice character moments outside of their traumatic experiences at Freddy's?????????? Please???????????????

I'm just so sick of romance being rushed, can we PLEASE get some nice character moments before we start having the protagonists fall in love I'm BEGGING

#Chip Chatter #I'm only a little upset that it's Mike and Nessa just cause like. it's the same with Max and Mike with Max having a crush on Mike and jus #can a guy and a girl never just be friends??? Does it always HAVE to be romantic???? #maybe it's just my aroace speaking but I REALLY liked how the movie had no romantic implications and the cast could just be friends #without having to worry about romance bullshit #but if you're *gonna* go down that route then PLEASE don't rush it- we don't need to refer to their meeting as a “meet cute” PLEASE #I think the worst part is that I don't even know if the novel is “canon” #I've heard it be said that we should treat them the same way we treat the Star Wars novels #and I?????? Have no fucking idea what that means and nobody will elaborate????? #I tried looking it up and apparently some Star Wars novels are canon and some aren't so are the fnaf movie novels canon or not?? #I'm so confused #why can we never just. have a clear answer on the canonicity of any book ever. #fnaf movie novel spoilers #fnaf novel spoilers

Ok, so I had this dream last night right? And it was mostly nonsensical and weird and silly, but there was this moment...

#I was the winged fairy girl at this point during a big battle #someone sliced me right down the front through my corset and dress #it was inspired I think by that fight in Zorro between Zorra and Elena #except NOT flirty dude was trying to kill me and sliced a wound down my chest #not super deep but still #and then this other guy #the one in the drawing #defected from the enemy side killed the other dude and very distressed tried to help me #which involved a very funny moment of him pulling my hands back to see the wound and realising my corset had been cut clean through #and us both getting extremely embarrassed and him pulling the corset back together and telling me to keep pressure on it #literally the most YA romantic comedy moment I've ever experienced #I think the main influences of this dream were that I recently watched a youtube reaction vid of someone watching Zorro for the first time #A drawing someone I follow did of that popular YA fae novel that I've never read #and looking at tangled concept art #and actually definitely the first aid course I did this week #because I remember them talking about how you need to cut clothing off someone to put the defib pads on their chest #and I was uncomfortable with the thought of someone having to do that to me #AND the fact I was paired with a cute guy I'd never met and we had to practice putting each other in the recovery position #which was SUPER awkward #so clearly my brain was like You know what would be fun? an even MORE awkward and painful scenario! #but make it fantasy! #ellennart

[sasukeless]

im still reeling over this….

there are thoughts i want to put but they are too fumbled…. anyways the same expression probably even the same tone

​the first panel is sasuke being angry at the village because he blames them alone for itachi’s suffering meanwhile the other two are directed at itachi now because sasuke realizes its not only the village but itachi too choosing that “pain” for himself…

#taking that one wuthering heights quote out of the romantic context of that novel but yk the line “i forgive what you have done to me. i #love my murderer but yours? how can i? #Yeah #does this post even make sense to anyone Lmao im just thinking #sasuke as a character makes me too sad at times #mine #but who can grow me a new brother

[pochapal]

i am going so very extremely insane over here

#umineko liveblog #kyrie's infodumps are responsible for 99 percent of my Umineko understanding #remember how my entire basis for the detective/romantic dichotomy came from her romance novel discussion #kyrie i owe you so many thing but also Why do you exist as a near-perfect umineko decoder #i'm not so caught up in the derangement that i don't see how Weird this is #if kyrie had survived what the hell would have happened............

[lloydfrontera]

if i think too long about the ending making lloyd leave the home he worked so hard to save behind along with the new found family he sacrificed his life for so he can move to a place he has no emotional connection to where he only knows two people (one of which is actually following him from the aforementioned home) in order to make him get a standard "have a wife and children" 'happy' ending i start wanting to bite people not gonna lie

#i talk a lot <3 #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #it is. such a sucky ending i hate it i'm sorry i cannot stand it #i love charlotte with all my heart and i truly do like alicia #but jesus fuck that ending #the one thing lloyd wants is to have an easy relaxed life surrounded by the people he loves #and then the ending has him become the royal consort to someone we know likes to use people to their best potential #and living permanently away from his parents and all the people he came to care about #except for javier and alicia. and javier is only there because of lloyd anyway. #i just. i hate heteronormative endings so much man. #he didn't need to marry! he could've found his happy ending without having to be romantically involved with anyone!! #there's this whole thing about lloyd thinking to himself that his happy ending will be settling down with a wife and have kids #and then there is this one moment. where he talks about what he really wants. his one true wish. #and he talks about how he just wants a family. a normal family. a family that welcomes him after a day's work. a family that lives a normal #life without worrying about nothing much. he doesn't want big territories or power or an army. he just wants to have a family that loves hi #and enough to keep them safe. #AND FUCKING GUESS WHAT HE GAINS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NOVEL #GUESS WHAT THE EMOTIONAL CORE OF THE ENTIRE THING WAS #A FAMILY. PARENTS AND A BROTHER AND A BEST FRIEND THAT CARE FOR HIM AND WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY AND HIM DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO KEEP #THEM SAFE. AND HE DOES. EVERYTHING HE DOES WAS TOO KEEP THEM SAFE AND SOUND AND HE GETS HIS WISH. #DO YOU GET IT. DO YOU GET WHAT I MEAN!! #HE DIDN'T NEED TO MARRY BECAUSE HE ALREADY HAD HIS WISH. HE ALREADY HAD HIS HAPPY ENDING. I'M SO MAD KASHDKA #tged

When you know a character and their material like the back of your hand and you see someone say something about the character as if it’s a known trait of theirs but you’ve literally never seen that happen

#saw a review for an old first doctor novel that said that steven’s ‘capacity to fall for the wrong type of woman’ was ‘very much in place’ #his… his what? #is this a thing that happened repeatedly in the novels for some reason and i’ve been blissfully unaware of it? #he literally never gets anything romantic in the show #you can see steven/sara if you squint like i did and apparently big finish did as well #but that’s it and that’s already a stretch #and at that sara is not the wrong kind of woman so it wouldn’t describe her anyway #is this about steven being attracted to the drahvin for a hot minute or something? #because it was literally about a minute. very quickly realized that they suck and then never looked at them like that the rest of the story. #but there’s nothing else to draw from lol #so i have to assume that either the novels kept doing this to him for some reason #or this person is just living in a dream world about who steven is lol #i’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it’s the novels because i know some very odd choices have been made in them #but still. what??? #classic who #steven taylor
