[stephsinaya]

I DON'T HAVE ANY OF MY CAT REACTIONS ON MY COMPUTER......

Anyways, hi, wsg, how you doin?

current-ly doing AWESOMESAUCE 🫰🫰 HII

[meljwrites]

Can I just say how we still haven’t seen Lucas and Dillon hug each other 🤣🤣

yeah :((( we have gotten quite close a few times but we will just have to live through @harmonytheme 's art for now!

[dadbodbucky]

I just reread "fuck my face, closet case" and I am UNWELL. Very sick, actually. Terminal, even. The only thing that can cure me is the last chapter of this fic. My life is in your hands. No pressure or anything. 👀

hiiiiii unfortunately you've caught me at the worst time i'm actually writing stucky (yes, as in mcu stucky) cnc and my flights of fancy have carried me far away from 911 for the moment

[doyelikehaggis]

just out of curiousity, what are your top 10 hollyoaks crack ships/rare pairs 👀

Oh, anon, you have no idea the can of worms you had just opened. So, crackships/rarepairs specifically, huh? (I mean, just about every ship that doesn't involve Ste or John-Paul are a rarepair, let's be honest.) Okay, let's do this. (These are in no way in ranked order btw)

Joel Dexter x Ryan Knight (Knightdex)

It's so stupid and (so far) based on literally one (1) interaction between them, in Rory Douglas-Speed's first episode as Joel in 2016, in which Ryan has called Joel for help in taking Warren down in Patrick's murder investigation. The moment they have outside of the police station was so incredibly gay for no reason, and I'm forever going to be thinking of how unnecessarily close Ryan got to Joel. I will provide a gif as evidence:

2. Brendan Brady x Simon Walker (Bralker)

I feel like they count as a rarepair because everyone prefers stendan (obviously <3), but the chemistry between Emmett Scanlan and Neil Newbon is genuinely insane. Like, they're constantly eye-fucking each other, and Walker can say it was all an act as much as he wants, but I'm not convinced. There's just something to be said for their very toxic, one-secretly-wants-the-other-dead, partners in crime thing.

3. Amy Barnes x Michaela McQueen (McBarnes)

I think men were not good for Amy, and Michaela was right there. I'm a sucker for best friends to lovers (even if they were more like messy frenemies most of the time), so I already loved the idea of them, but then I saw this one scene from like 2006 where Ste confronts Michaela and asks if she fancies Amy, and I'd believe it wholeheartedly.

4. George Smith x Callum Kane (PalmKane)

I love their friendship, and I totally get why the show kept it platonic because it was such an important dynamic to have on TV back in 2012, no judgement, just pure trust and affection for each other. But as I said, I'm a sucker for best friends to lovers, so! I wish Callum hadn't died because they were genuinely one of my favourite parts of that era.

5. Max Cunningham x O.B

It's funny for me to count this one considering I haven't watched a single scene featuring Max other than the one where Claire tells him Tom is in the lake to try and drown Max, and then OB saves him. But what did it for me was OB's return in 2016, the way he cares for Tom (Max's little brother), and reading through their entire history lmao. I'm planning on going back and watching the scenes I can find on youtube (currently organising a playlist) so that I can fall even harder for them. I truly believe they were soulmates.

6. Cleo McQueen x Nathan Nightingale (Clathan)

Again, I don't know if this counts as a rarepair because they were technically together in the show, but I also don't think anyone actually ships them anymore? Either way, they're adorable and if Nathan hadn't died, I would've wanted them together and married and happy <3

7. Sienna Blake x Trevor Royle (Trienna)

Yes, Sienna was not necessarily good for Trevor, and he chose Grace, but the colouring book therapy session?? I'm still crying over them.

8. Ste Hay x John Paul McQueen (McHay)

I'm cheating again, I know, they were canon, people shipped them (probably still do), but not nearly enough. I still want them back together now, in 2024, I am BEGGING. Reunite them. Give them another chance. Let them be HAPPY.

9. Robbie Roscoe x Callum Kane (Roscane)

Look, Robbie came into and immediately did way too much just to try and impress Callum and get him to be his friend. I will die on the hill that Robbie is queer. (TBF the same could be said for Freddie Roscoe, too.)

10. Romeo Nightingale x Prince McQueen (Rinse)

I miss the Daily Rinse <3 Also, having Romeo's exit be him riding off on a horse while Prince tearfully watches him as "Love Story" by Taylor Swift plays? Most romantic moment ever, and their names are made for each other, come on.

I am ALWAYS happy to talk about Hollyoaks (or EastEnders), especially ships, so please feel free to send more questions/talk to me about anything! <3

[hollyoaksmusings]

[corvusternion]

You sound like the ninja guy now

> dont you fucking d^re comp^re me with th^t fuck

[meljwrites]

Ste and Rex are hot!

they are definitely magnetic 👀

[harmonytheme]

rank Ste love interests which you think were the best/one he loved most to least?

I want to be clear that I'm missing a LOT of context for most of these relationships because I had a pretty huge gap in watching the show regularly and only really kept up with things through the news cycle.

That being said.

Brendan

I watched their story unfold while they were airing over a decade ago and I still get emotional about them on occasion. It's rare that something sticks with me for that long. Their development as a couple was stellar, their chemistry as actors was phenomenal, they were the loves of each others lives and I'm never going to stop believing that. HO legends.

2. Doug

It was never going to work out between them with Brendan hanging around but this period might have been the healthiest of Ste's life. He started a business, had gotten his shit together, was committed to supporting himself and his kids. Doug was such a positive influence and he really, truly, loved Ste. RIP buddy.

3. John Paul

They didn't last long but I love John Paul, okay???? He got Ste through a really tough time in his life and to this day JP stays looking out for Ste's kids!!! Love him to death. I wouldn't be mad if they got together again.

4. Rex

What can I say. This is the most hyped I've been about a Ste relationship in years. I love Jonny Labey. They have great chemistry. Sterex have the makings of an amazing couple if they get it right! We're five minutes into their ~affair but I see such potential!

5. Harry

I never really got into them because Harry's age warded me off a bit. I can appreciate their relationship more in hindsight though.

6. James

it's James. He punched Ste's teenage son in the face and locked him in a shed overnight. Also they probably wouldn't have ended up together if Harry wasn't axed.

7. Noah

There are only two images that appear when you google him. Need I say more. Flop of a relationship.

7. Sinead O'Connor

Ste's straight resurgence era. I want to forget. I wish I could.

I'm not even going to include Ryan on this list.

If platonic relationships counted Amy would be up there in first equal place 🥺

I hope that satisfied your curiosity! If we disagree on things that's okay :) This is just my worthless semi-uninformed opinion.

[hollyoaksmusings]

Dillon asking where Ste was going and him replying deadpan with prison 💀 I laughed out loud

LOLLL I posted that clip here but deleted it because it was glitching a little but it made me laugh so hard 😭😭😭
