Shay Davydov Appreciation Week!!

Day One » Favourite Thing: Smile

[coshayphinelove]

Hello fellow people who like Shay!  A few of us, myself included, have noticed how Shay only ever gets mentioned negatively or not at all.  And that’s a crying shame.

So to combat this we’ve come up with Shay Week.  Seven days worth of prompts for your minfics, full length fics, headcanons, discussions, meta, art, comics, gifs, edits, manips, anything really.  Seriously, if you think your oatmeal looked kinda like Shay, I wanna see pics!!

So from August 27th to September 2nd we’re gonna make content.

Day 1:  Favorite.  What was your favorite thing about Shay?  Inquiring minds wanna know!!

Day 2:  Ships.  Who do you ship her with?  Why?  How?  What would it look like?  What do they do for fun?

Day 3:  Favorite Scene/Episode.  What was your favorite Shay moment that happened on screen?

Day 4: Crossover.  What other show/movie/book would you want to see Shay in?  What would her role be?  What would happen?

Day 5:  Previous Works Appreciation.  What are your favorite fics involving Shay?  Link us!!  Tell us everything you loved about it and make sure to let the author know, even if they’re not on tumblr!!  Did you kind of wish it had continued?  Write a new one inspired by it!!  Talk about where you thought it was going!!  Reblog your favorite pieces of art that have been made in the past and gush about them!!  Make sure you spread the love around!!

Day 6:  BroTP.  Who would be her best friend?  Either in canon or an OC, let us know who her friends are.

Day 7:  Fix-it.  How would you take canon and reintegrate Shay?  Did she never leave?  Does she come back and save the day?

Or anything your heart desires!!  You don’t necessarily have to follow the prompts, but if you’re stuck there are some ideas!!  

It’s not a one-a-day thing either, no way.  You have a thought?  Post it.  I know my blog’s gonna turn into a Shay blog for a week, for sure.

Rules:

1.  Use the #Shay Davydov main tag!  I will be tagging #shay davydov week as well as the main tag (there’s already been a shay week for a different show. How cool is that?).  Make sure everybody can find it so they can see your hard work!!

2.  This isn’t an opportunity to compare her to other characters in order make them look bad.  We can like, celebrate, and lift up a character without taking another one down.  This is about positivity anyway!!  So back to the exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.  Interact with each other!!  Sometimes posting about Shay feels like you’re screaming into an empty void.  Reblog!  Comment!  Add nice tags!

4.  If you have any questions before, during, or after please do ask! @krystalgoderitch sparked this post/helped put this together and has agreed to help me answer questions, so you can ask her as well me!!

5.  Reblog the snot out of this post!!  I want to make sure that anybody who would be at all remotely interested sees this so they don’t get left out.

I’m looking forward to making posts for this almost as much as I’m looking forward to seeing all of yours!

My favorite Shay fanfiction ever is "except in this form in which I am not nor are you". It is beautifully written with fantastic descriptions and dialogue that I can hear the characters speaking. An even larger accomplishment is that it made me ship Delphine and Shay- a romantic relationship I'd never imagined in my wildest dreams. I look forward to every chapter with anticipation and I legitimately squealed with glee when chapter 42 was posted. I know you have doubts about how to end it but I'm willing to take whatever you can give (no pressure of course) and I don't quite know if I want it to end to be honest... Anyway thank you for this fic. I read all 41 chapters in one day and my friends can attest to the fact that I actually yelled out loud about it- especially when they first kissed.

i love the idea of a tony & shay brotp.  just.  drinkin beers, talking shit.  making dirty jokes.  teasing delphine to make her blush.  trying to make cosima jealous with said delphine blushing.

they cuddle and it is The Best Cuddles™.  he is literally always wearing flannel and it is so warm and soft.

tony’s pretty scrappy so he tries to roughhouse with her.  and she totally pulls her punches and doesn’t even try to hide it.  and he is all ‘come on shay.  i can take it.  i wanna know that i can actually beat you, all this winning is getting kind of hollow.’  he ends up in a light chokehold, unable to move, but still trying to turn it around.  

two bros, chilling in a hot tub, a few feet apart because they are gay.  at least shay is.  and he respects that.

Shay Davydov Week Day 2: Ships 

coshayphine

“We should watch a movie tonight!” Shay declared from the sink.  

“Delphine hates movies,” Cosima corrected, a little sadly.

Shay looked both affronted and confused.  “No she doesn’t.”

“She falls asleep every time we sit down to watch one.”

“That’s because you cuddle and rub her belly.”

“I am… sitting right here,” Delphine giggled.

“Rub her belly?  What is she, a cat?” Cosima laughed.

“I mean, basically.”

                                                             -

Forty minutes into the movie Cosima propped herself up on her elbow and looked.  Yup, both of them were out cold.  Just like she’d predicted.

@krystalgoderitch and i kind of decided today that we wanna do a Shay Appreciation Week.  i have a tentative post with like prompts and stuff with the dates ready.  i just kinda wanna get a soft head count of how many people would be interested in like, getting tagged on the main post.  

we’re thinking a couple of weeks after the finale for the actual thing.  but i’ll give this post a few days to circulate before the main post making it Official.

so please reblog this and reply if you would like to be @ ‘d on the post or to just spread some of the word!

or also if you want to make the Official Shay Week Art.  lmk
