This is gay cause I said so.

One of the gayest fucking things you can do for another person is doing something completely unnecessary that you really don’t have to. Like, WHAT IS THE LEGITIMATE IN SHOW REASON FOR NANCY TO SIT ON THE ARM OF THE COUCH, HER BODY TILTED TOWARDS ROBIN. GIVE ME IT RIGHT NOW. THERE IS SO MUCH ROOM???!!!

[jus-let-me-read]

She did not need to stare at her that much. LIKE HELP with the last one it's not even subtle SHES JUST FULL ON TURNED TOWARDS HER. Maya Hawke you're not helping my ronance obsessed heart

These slapped me back into the brainrot

[jus-let-me-read]

Ronance brainrot is still hearing in your head Robin screaming out "Nancy!" after she jumped after Steve despite not touching the fandom in multiple months.

And every other bloody piece of dialogue between these two living rent free up here, and just knowing whatever ST5 has to offer will have me in a chokehold for a long time. Also mini tidbit thought but I'm low-key scared for ST5 because I know it'll be possibly filled with Stancy and I just- no thanks not for me

Kuromaya better be winning this. I will riot. Like there is so much shit they do that cannot be excused as platonic activity, to the point even the most homophobic, in denial person alive would call them gay.

I lost Jori last time but I will fucking win one thing I swear to god-

anyway-

Their rivalry is complimented so well to who they are as characters. Claudine is so used to being beaten by Maya, to the point she's obsessed with beating her. But that doesn't mean Maya doesn't acknowledge her as her rival. She definitely does. What makes them so great is that they're able to spur the other one on, in a way that will motivate them to try harder. In a way that literally only the other person can do. To Maya, Claudine is the only person for her. To Claudine, Maya is the only person for her. That's because the other person makes themselves try to be the best version of themselves they can possibly be. Their lyrics are always so consistently gay it's painful. Their banter is painful. And the fact not one single character called them out for how fucking gay they are is borderline homophobia.

Some of my favourite moments and random tidbits:

•In the beginning of the series one of the first proper scenes we get to see of Claudine is literally her staring at her tablet, analyzing Maya. Analyzing her movements and applying it to her own, to what she can improve.

-Not only is Claudine able to recognize and analyze Maya's movements, but she literally has all of this content on her tablet in the first place. She's like actually obsessed with her. I also find it sweet how she refers to what Maya does since that shows a sense of admiration. Like she's able to acknowledge that there is definitely something she can learn from Maya. It works since they're always learning from each other.

•To what made their shipping and moments sky rocket the most in the series was definitely their revue against Hikari and Karen. Like after they lost Maya was just wrecked and was obviously struggling to accept this. She quite literally proclaims "Tendou Maya never loses." To which then Maya then speaks French (note: that's Claudine's native tongue and it hasn't even been known Maya can speak French too till now). Cue a gay conversation where Maya refers to Claudine as "Ma Claudine." Quite literally translated back to "My Claudine." So... you know. What else more do you need? Maya also says “With you, I’ll be able to fly even higher.” Which helps acknowledge the whole point of why they're so perfect together. Oh also we can't forget Maya saying Claudine is cute when she cries.

Oh and of course I'm not done yet. This is nothing. They can get gayer. They always do.

•Anyway following that gay ass episode they're a lot less antagonistic to some extent towards each other so you can definitely tell something did change. Then fast forward to the movie and these two decide to be the gayest they can possibly be. Maya of course, though more acknowledging of Claudine as some sort of equal she's still hugely obsessed with being on top. Anyway Let me just quote actual dialogue from the movie, because that should be able to speak for itself and should get my nonexistent point across. Also because if I were to even try to explain what the fuck was going on during this revue it'd just end up sounding like gibberish. Note quotes are out of order and half of them are them singing in the background whilst others may be actual dialogue said during their revue.

"When I show you that brilliance, I will receive your soul"

"On the stage sparks fly"

"Right now, you're the cutest you've ever been"

"I'm always cute."

"For all of eternity. We are flames that fall together while burning."

"Only me always forever. You only need to look at me"

"If I'm in front of you Be it ugly or beautiful I'll expose my everything"

"All of it Forever and ever, I'd like to cross swords with you

"....For me there is you"

"I want to show you My feelings becoming dyed in Black"

"Saijou Claudine you are beautiful."

"Only I can make you lay everything bare"

•And if for some reason that isn't enough I'll just pull out content from outside of the anime and movie. Yes, they are gay even outside of those.

"Saijou-san couldn't cope with it and said something quite surprising in her sleep" - Maya

-Heck if I know why the hell Maya was even around to hear what Claudine was saying in her sleep.

"You're so obvious, you thought I wouldn't notice? You think too little of me."

"The fact you watch me so closely...I feel blessed as an actress."

-Nothing like Claudine always no matter what noticing the littlest of changes in Maya. If I recall correctly there's even a dialogue in the game where Claudine notices Maya's hair got a trim and she was like the only one to notice.

-No Dialogue for this instance but there was basically this story thing in the game where Maya was gone, like completely disappeared and the only one who noticed was Claudine. Shows how much they impact the others life.

"I'll land the lead. I WILL be Maya Tendo's bride...The best bride the stage has ever seen"

"Maya Tendo's bride..."

-Oh yeah there's your lil ol' marriage acting fun. No seriously what else do you need. This is practically confirmation at this point. Claudine is a bit too obsessed about this being Maya's bride thing.

I know there's definitely more but I don't want to type more than I already am.

•Anyway if that's somehow not enough heres just images of them being painfully gay in the anime.

Side A Round 2

Remember, we're voting for the best bait, not necessarily the best ship

Propaganda under the cut:

Claudine/Maya

havent watched it but theres this seriously mega gay 11 minute video on youtube and its like what the hell. genuinely. wait let me look for it. https://youtu.be/c3rrQpwKwPI theres like a fight scene and a dance at the same time while romantic music that says lines like “only look at me” plays. umm they also compliment each other and call themselves rivals. things like that. iconic quote: “maya!” “claudine!” “for heroes there are trials…” “for saints there are temptations…” and in unison, “for me there is you!” as they say this there is less than an inch of distance between their faces. btw. its basically a wedding if you think about it. also according to the comments maya gives her soul to claudine?? so tag. you know

Chisato/Takina

honestly ive no idea since i've never seen it myself but i feel like it says something that when i see this poll, these girls are the first thing i think of despite having never watched the anime. u have no idea

Chisato teaches Takina how to person, takes her on a aquarium date, takes her shopping (including for lingerie!!), is very cuddly with her, etc. Takina gets very clingy with Chisato, extremely protective, gives up what had been her entire goal to save Chisato, repeatedly listens to her (lack of a) heartbeat (certainly without any ulterior motives, obvs). The last scene of the first season is Chisato twirling Takina around in the surf with a lesbian flag-coloured sunset behind them, then both falling together into it. There's more, but I think you get the idea lol

Look I don't know if they're gonna do anything about it when the sequel thingy comes out but if they don't they're losers and I'm submitting in case of that. Why are they going out on dates in the aquarium? Why is one of them listening to the other's heartbeat? Why did the other risk her own life to save the other's? Why were they roommates for a while? Why did they fundamentally change each other's lives? Well folks it's all because of purely hetero friendship, obviously. Sigh. They're not as bad as many others here, obviously, but I'm just putting this out here

[jus-let-me-read]

Sorry Diakko shippers I may be one of y'all but Jori was definitely some sort of bait, like there's no way in my head I can fathom what was going through the writers head with half of their scenes.

-Tori being the ONLY one who can touch Jade 90% of the time. Fine, whatever I'll excuse that as some stupid main character shit.

-BUT I WILL NOT EXCUSE JADE AND TORI QUITE LITERALLY BEING SET UP ON A DATE, ACKNOWLEDGING ITS A DATE, AND SINGING A SONG TOGETHER ON SAID DATE (which btw is definitely the best song of the whole series, and it doesn't exactly help Liz and Vic's voices blended together is practically heaven to my ears)

-AND I WILL ALSO NOT EXCUSE THAT STUPID FUCKING NECKLACE. TORI HAD A NECKLACE ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE SERIES THAN MAGICALLY AFTER THEIR PLAYDATE JADE'S NOW WEARING IT. WHAT IS GOING ON????? THAT'S SOME GAY EXCHANGING JEWELRY SHIT

-Also Tori's stupid slap status updates whatever about Jade just screams borderline obsessed with this girl

Side B Round 1

Remember, we're voting for the best bait, not necessarily the best ship

Propaganda under the cut:

Diana/Akko

these witches are GAY I swear to god. Fellas, is it gay to follow your rival as she leaves the school to follow her destiny? Is it gay to try to convince her that deep down in her heart, it's instead her destiny to stay? Is it gay to rebuild the world in a loving image together? Not according to Studio Trigger, it isnt.

Lumity if it wasn't canon

Jade/Tori

watched the quintonreviews 13 hour victorious review and im a truther now

They have a gigantic energy of an enemies and lovers type of ship and I am still thinking about that one time when Tori had a full Jade costume ready to put on

Suffocating Feelings

Words: 1502

Joyce and Hopper’s wedding is today, and a newly dating Robin and Nancy get ready together. They still have to deal with the repercussions of the Upside Down, but they’re trying their best together.

TW: panic attacks

-

“Thank god Joyce is letting me wear a suit to her wedding,” Robin sighed out underneath her breath. She looked at herself in the recently added full-length mirror in Nancy’s room. Her hands reached out to unbutton the top button. Where, even though a suit is a lot more comfortable than a dress, it wasn’t perfect. The cotton white shirt complemented by the navy blue blazer she rented out a week before. She squinted at herself in the mirror, stepping back as she did. From the corner of the mirror, she could see the back of Nancy’s head as she put on some final touches to her makeup.

Robin faced towards Nancy, uselessly messing with the cuffs of the sleeves. “Nance, can you, uh- can you help me out here?” Her voice stumbled as she fumbled around with her right sleeve. As soon as Nancy turned towards Robin, she couldn’t help but lose her breath. She gulped, taking in the woman she was lucky enough to call her girlfriend. “Wow. You look- wow,” Robin uttered, composing herself. “You look beautiful.”

Nancy, soaking in the compliment, had an infectious smile. She looked giddy as she looked down at her heels, back up to Robin, looking flushed. “And you look perfect in your suit,” she said, stepping towards her. She reached towards the cuffs of Robin’s suit, buttoning each sleeve.

Nancy stepped towards her bed, grabbing the navy blue tie that went with the suit. She smiled up at her girlfriend, briefly going on her toes to kiss her. “You ready to go to a wedding?” She asked, meeting her gaze.

“I’m surprised I’m invited at all, to be honest,” Robin admitted. “I mean, I’m not the best of buddies with either Hopper or Joyce.”

“Of course you’re invited, Robin. I mean, sure, you haven’t directly worked with either of them, but you helped them- us save the world multiple times.” Nancy replied in a heartbeat. “That goes beyond being Hopper’s coworker or Joyce’s neighbor. It’s so much more.”

Robin looked unsure. Even if she knew she was likely to be invited to the wedding, especially since Will was attached to Robin in a unique sense, it still felt weird. She knew so much about the couple, and a lot about stuff so many people don’t know themselves, but the most words she spoke to both of the parents have always been a simple greeting. “You sure?” she asked, as her hands played with the collar of her shirt.

“I’m positive. They’ll be happy to see you there.” She offered her girlfriend a comforting smile. ��Besides, the kids absolutely adore you and Steve is like your soulmate.”

Nancy draped the tie over Robin’s neck, playing with each end as she recalled a memory on how to tie a tie. Though she didn’t do it as often as before, she had helped both Jonathan and Mike at one point.

“Are you okay?” Nancy asked, noticing Robin’s shifty gaze. She placed her hand gently on her shoulder, catching her attention. “Is there anything you want to talk about?”

“No, no,” Robin quickly said. “Just post wedding nerves, I guess. I hadn’t really been to a wedding before. I mean, sure, there was my aunt, but I was like 5 at the time, so that barely counts.” Before she could continue, she shut her mouth to stop herself from rambling.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Nancy tried. Robin simply nodded ‘no’, looking down at her tie, signaling Nancy to continue. Nancy took both ends of the tie, crossing them both as she recounted each step slowly. She looked up at Robin, meeting her intense gaze with an unreadable look in her eyes.

Robin took in a deep breath, watching as Nancy crossed the wide end of the tie from behind, pulling the necktie slightly to pass it through the neck loop. The motions were all her brain seemed to be focused on. She got around to wrapping the tie around once again and looping it for the last time. The necktie was wrapped around her neck loosely, barely even close to being considered tight. It looked almost silly.

Just as Nancy’s hands moved towards her tie, one hand holding the base as the other held the end, she started to tighten it. The necktie got closer and closer to her neck, and Robin lost her breath. Suddenly, Robin could feel the black like-tentacle around her neck choking her all over again. The upside down Victor Creel house was fresh in her mind. The feeling of her breath shortening before she’d eventually black out and be left for dead. Haphazardly, she grabbed at the tentacle and pawed at it, prying it off desperately. She sank to her knees, trying to catch her breath. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears and felt her vision blur as she was back in Nancy’s room.

Robin was on her knees. The tie, though not completely off, was back hanging around her neck with visible folds and creases. She couldn’t hear anything aside from her loud heart, as she desperately tried to catch her breath. She looked around her room panicky, calling out to Nancy, though her mouth couldn’t fully make out the words. Not even a second later, Robin felt warm arms wrap around her back, her vision being overcome by familiar brown curls.

“...”

“... okay.”

“You’re okay.” Nancy’s voice was reassuring as she processed the words.

“Robin, can you hear me?”

Robin nodded. She choked out a shaky ‘yes,’ only then realizing she was crying. Weakly, she wrapped her arms around Nancy as tight as she could. She listened to Nancy as she coaxed her to breathe with her.

Inhale. Hold. Exhale.

Inhale. Hold. Exhale.

Inhale. Hold. Exhale.

Robin’s breathing settled, her erratic heartbeat slowing. Upon noticing Robin’s composure return, Nancy slightly pulled back, looking at Robin’s face. One of her hands hesitantly reached up, rubbing away a stray tear. “You’re okay, Robin. Nothing is going to come get you. Everything is settled with. Just remember that.” Nancy whispered softly in a coaxing tone. “Do you want to come sit on the bed?”

Robin could only weakly nod as Nancy helped her up and maneuvered her towards the bed. Before Nancy could speak, Robin found her voice. “Thank you.”

Nancy smiled weakly, happy to see Robin back to herself again. “I’m sorry I didn’t notice earlier. It didn’t really cross my mind that a tie would-“ Her voice hesitated, a moment of silence following as Nancy couldn’t find the right words. Though Nancy hasn’t had a particular experience about her neck yet, she had gone out of her way to avoid certain necklaces and chokers.

“It’s not your fault,” Robin said. “Look, it’s silly really, I mean-“

“It’s not silly,” Nancy immediately interjected, unintentionally raising her voice. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to raise my voice. It’s just that- it’s not silly at all for you to react like that. You went through something traumatizing. Don’t fault yourself for the way you react towards things.”

“Yeah,” she agreed, though her heart wasn’t in it. “I know I shouldn’t. It’s just been getting to me a lot more recently.” Her hand reached up towards her neck hesitantly, tracing over the faded bruise. “Even though it’s healing, sometimes it’s like I can still feel it. I haven’t really been one to like tight clothes, but after the whole Vecna thing, it just turned into an actual problem.”

Nancy placed her hand naturally onto Robin’s, running her palm over Robin’s fingers before holding her hand. She could see faded scars, some more evident than others, from her own experiences. “Yeah, I get what you mean. Everyone has been finding their own ways to deal with things, and we’re all just going through the repercussions.” Her voice came out softly, hesitating over each of her words. Truth be told, they haven’t talked about the upside down that often. Nancy’s had nights where Robin stayed up with her after she had a nightmare, and they had a conversation lasting for hours as Nancy recounted the story behind a couple of her scars.

Robin lightly chuckled. “I guess that comes with saving Hawkins. Just part of the package deal.”

“Is there anything I can do to help you deal with things?” Nancy asked, her voice slightly wavering with each word as she thought of how to properly phrase it.

Robin paused in thought, before laying back in Nancy’s bed, uncaring of the fancy suit she wore. She met Nancy’s eyes and reached for her hand again, squeezing it. “This is already enough. I’m just happy to have you here,” she said, before her tone shifted. “Although, I won’t be opposed to more movie nights as background noise.”

“Well, you’re the one working at Family Video, so I may just have to rely on you for that part.”

“I wouldn’t trust your movie background anyway,” Robin teased, her grin betraying her.

“It was one bad romcom!”

Imagine: How the MHA boys react to you confessing to them (This is a joke don't take it seriously)

Denki Kaminari

-You told him after hero training

-He wasn't feeling all too well after some rather disappointing results with his training

-You made him feel better and gave him something to be glad about today

Katsuki Bakugou

-You told him way too early in the morning and he's extra cranky

-His one track mind has him focus on his hero training to become the number one hero

-Even though he acknowledges your feelings it may take a bit to actually score a date with him

Izuku (Deku) Midoriya

-You told him after classes for the day

-He's honored that you feel that way towards him and will remember that you confessed to him

-You turn him into a rambling mess as he tries to process how to respond to your feelings

Eijiro Kirishima

-You told him just before he was about to go to bed for the day

-It takes him a while to process your feelings

-He's not used to getting confessed to but he will make sure to handle your feelings kindly

Hitoshi Shinsou

-You told him during lunch period where neither of you were around too many onlookers

-He doesn't totally understand why you like him in the first place

-He's confused but he'll try to take your feelings seriously

"Where's Nance? Is she busy or something?" Steve asked as he loudly, but smoothly climbed through Nancy's window, a lot more gracefully than Robin had done.

Robin shrugged. "She's either yelling at Mike or ruining another pot. She's still trying to learn this dish her mom made way back when, and the pots are going through absolute hell."

"Geez, is her cooking that bad?"

"Well," Robin paused, "let's just say it could be a lot better."

A familiar static noise came from Robin's walkie talkie that layed on Nancy's bedside table. The familiar noise slowly turning into Nancy's clear voice. A shiver ran down Robin's spine as she awkwardly smiled.

"I can hear you two, you know. You aren't exactly quiet."

"Oh no," Robin mumbled, stifling a noise as Steve's reaction was making her laugh. "I've been caught." Steve's own laugh being infectious as he covered his mouth to muffle it.

"If you must know, I am cooking and the pots are completely fine, Robin." A fake stern and bitter voice was heard, as a random noise went on in the background. "I thought you enjoyed tasting everything I make, but if it could be a lot better than-"

"I'm sorry!" Robin broke, blurting out the apology as she haphazardly reached for the walkie talkie. "I love your cooking and I'll always be your taste tester, even if the half the stuff you make is slightly burnt." Robin finished, briefly pausing to glance at Steve before looking back down at the device in her hands.

"Over," she quickly added, just as Steve audibly sighed and visibly ran a hand through his hair.

She heard a giggle over the receiver and smiled at the sound. "Wait, are they actually burnt?" Nancy asked, her tone shifting to genuine worry. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It was just nice to see you that dedicated over something," Robin admitted. "I am honest when I 'critic' your food. It just makes me happy to see how passionate you are over this. And I just want to support you in whatever, you know?"

Nancy couldn't resist the unconscious smile pulling at her cheeks. "That's very sweet Robin, but I don't want to feed you burnt food. I want to make dishes that you enjoy."

"I'll enjoy anything you make me," Robin said earnestly. "Except if it includes some nasty shit, or like something I'm allergic to," she added as an afterthought.

[jus-let-me-read]

"Wait, Nance!" Robin called after her, almost tripping on a random grass patch, as she ran after her. "Nancy! I'm not really clear on the plan here!"

Only did Nancy reply once they arrived in the building they were supposed to sneak into. "Just follow me," Nancy annoyingly ordered, a rather awkward conversation with Jonathan about their relationship still fresh on her mind.

Robin simply gave her a two finger salute she was sure Nancy missed. "Okay then," she mumbled out quietly. Before bending down making sure Nancy didn't fall as she climbed onto the side railing to get to the broken window. Robin stayed silent as Nancy helped her into the building, weary of the old broken glass on the floor.

As they walked through the isolated dark hallway, the two occasionally looking around peeking into a room, Nancy was the first to break the silence.

"Sorry," Nancy apologized, her voice slightly echoing off the walls.

"Huh?" Robin looked at her. "What for?"

Nancy kicked at air as she awkwardly side stepped towards Robin. "I'm sorry for getting all bitchy on you. Everyone has just been getting on my nerves and I shouldn't take it out on you."

"Oh!" Robin said, cringing as she heard it echo. "That's alright. It's a high stressful time for you and all that." She shrugged, turning on her flashlight to keep her hands occupied.

"No," Nancy sighed. "It isn't okay. You've been the least annoying person to me right now." She admitted, looking to meet Robin's gaze, hoping to express something to her.

Robin sucked in her lips as she beamed. "I'm glad."

"Can you do me a favor?" Nancy sighed. Her eyes staring up at Robin's, almost intimidating, despite her shorter stature. She grabbed onto Robin's wrist holding it lightly before threading their fingers together. The feeling was as soft as always, the familiar warmth enough to make her smile. As she lifted their joined hands towards her lips, she softly kissed Robin's hand. "Start believing in me."

Robin squinted down at Nancy. Her fingers twitched in their joined hands, a rush of heat erupting in her chest with every passing second. "What?" Robin chuckled in disbelief. "When have I ever not believed in you? At this point I'm pretty sure I'm incapable of not believing in anything that brain of yours comes up with." Her free hand lightly threaded over the back of Nancy's hair, cautious not to mess it up.

"Not that." Nancy let go of Robin's hand, as she opted to fidget with her rings. Twisting the one on her pointer finger consistently. "Before this," her hand lazily referenced to the air between them. "Before any of this happened I was your friend for two years. I know you struggle to believe in it sometimes, because you get this distant look in your face, but believe in it more."

With confidence mixed with a wave of nerves Nancy met Robin's eyes, almost like she was glaring at her. Though Robin could tell the difference by now, especially with the tense way she sucked in her cheeks everytime she paused. "I love you. I haven't gone anywhere then I won't go anywhere now. Believe in that, just believe in my words when I say that." A wave of silence fell in the air, the only noise heard was the sound of their own heartbeat.

Robin subconsciously covered her mouth out of embarassment. The smile inching it's way past her fingers failing to hide her glee. The words were like a shot of adrenaline, making Robin so much closer to running around just to work off the excitement. "For once in my life," she bit her tongue, "I don't know what to say..."

"I'm the one who said it!" Nancy blurted as her nerves caught up with her. "Don't be so embarrassed!"

Robin's hands erratically waved around her as she tried to resist the urge to have the words just fall out of her mouth. She clenched her throat, and spoke in a voice a lot louder than expected. "You're really pretty!"

"Thank you!" Nancy sucked in her lips. The flustered and embarassed state of Robin spoke words that didn't need to be said, just yet.

Prompt: Language kink Nancy Wheeler 🧅🐴

"Can you repeat that?" Nancy asked after Robin randomly slipped into French, saying a phrase to herself.

"The French thing?" She looked confused as she shrugged. "Parlez lentement, s’il vous plaît. Fun fact, it's one of the first phrases I properly learned after somebody said it to me this one time, when I was still learning French."

Nancy looked at her in interest, listening intently to each word. Only being distracted and pulled away from Robin's quick tangent by Eddie pulling at her sleeve.

"Nance, that's like the third time you asked her to repeat something in French."

"What? I literally said it one time."

"Not today, I mean like in general. You've asked her that question a bit too much."

"Well," Nancy paused, straightening her posture, as she defended herself. "French is a beautiful language, and I do actually have some interest in it."

"Yeah, okay, sure," Eddie scoffed in disbelief. "Hey Robin, can you say something directed towards Nancy in French?"

"How subtle," Nancy rolled her eyes.

"Why are you guys so obsessed with French right now?" Robin asked. "Uhh give me a second to think- wait is it okay if I like compliment you in French?"

"Oh yeah- yeah, of course!"

"Vous êtes très intelligent," Robin said without much thought. Yet as her eyes met Nancy's gaze, she visibly paused, her eyes mouthing a couple of words before speaking a compliment in French. "Tu as de beaux yeux."

Nancy couldn't hide the lovesick gaze that left her with a warm feeling at the pit of her stomach. The way Robin's eyes softened as soon as she spoke the last compliment left her speechless. Even though she knew she called her intelligent with the first compliment, the cluelessness she felt towards the last one was intriguing, yet also endearing.
