One of my favourite pairings to read and sometimes write is Male!Beta x Alpha (of any gender).

It's a great mix. People should give it a chance more often.

Hatred. Lust. Obsession. Death. (BxA Playlist)

I worked on this...all day. Combed through almost 100 songs. It's my first time doing something like this, but I had to get my feelings and thoughts on this ship out somehow. Thank you to @a-for-alternative for the inspiration and feedback. I hope you enjoy.

Hatred

Afraid - The Neighbourhood

You're too mean, I don't like you

Fuck you, anyway

You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs

It hurts but, I won't fight you

You suck, anyway

You make me want to die, right when I

When I wake up, I'm afraid

Somebody else might take my place

I Get It - CheVelle

How dare you catch me counting?

How dare you call at all?

How dare you call this suffering?

How dare you call at all?

You're right, I get it

It all makes sense, you're the perfect person

So right, so wrong

Let's all live in your imaginary life

You Don't Know Me - Son Lux

I feel you tracing my scars

But you don't know me

You don't know me at all

I see you down on your knees

But you don't own me

You don't know me at all

Rose - A Perfect Circle

So no longer will I

Lay down, play dead

Play your doe in the headlights locked down and terrified

Your deer in the headlights shot down and horrified

When push comes to pull comes to shove

Comes to step around this self-destructive dance

That never would've ended 'til I rose, I roared aloud

Here I will, I am

You Know My Name - Chris Cornell

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights

But you yourself are nothing so divine

Just next in line

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you

The odds will betray you

And I will replace you

You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you

It longs to kill you

Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins

You know my name

Dance With The Devil - Breaking Benjamin

Trembling, crawling across my skin

Feeling your cold dead eyes

Stealing the life of mine

I believe in you

I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies

I won't last long

In this world so wrong

What If I Say Please - Late Night Alumni

Cry your premeditated tears

So tenderly, so insincere

Such feigned, calculated reasons

These warm smiles, they're freezing

So don't appeal me parading like a pantomime, I mean

It's unfeeling and I'm unwilling; let me be

What if I say please?

Girl With One Eye - Florence + The Machine

I slipped my hand under her skirt

I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt

Oh, my reputation's kind of clouded with dirt

That's why you sleep with one eye open

But that's the price you'll pay

I said, hey, girl with one eye

Get your filthy fingers out of my pie

I said, hey, girl with one eye

I'll cut your little heart out ‘cause you made me cry

I Know Where You Sleep - Emilie Autumn

Fake, crawl, search, kill, fake, crawl, search, kill

Oh my god oh my god, I touched you?

I can never live it down, I can never live it down!

God save the queen, I loved you!?

I can never live it down, I can never live it down!

Oh, oh, I fucked you?

Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria

But if you really loved me, you would have endured my world

Well you're just as I presumed

A whore in sheep's clothing

Fucking up all I do

Yeah and if so here we stop

Then never again will you see this in your life

Loveust

The Walk - Imogen Heap

That's where this ends

No mistakes, no misbehaving

Oh, I was doing so well

Could we just be friends?

I feel a weakness coming on

No, it's not meant to be like this

Not what I planned at all

I don't want to feel like this

So that makes it all your fault

I Caught Myself - Paramore

You got it, you got it

Some kind of magic

Hypnotic, hypnotic

You're leaving me breathless

I hate this, I hate this

You're not the one I believe in

With God as my witness

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself

I'm saying something that I should have never thought of you,

You're pushing and pulling me down to you

But I don't know what I want

Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge

Either way he wanted her and this was bad

He wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy

Now a little crush turned into a like

And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her

I want to hold you close, skin pressed against me tight

Lie still, and close your eyes girl

So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close

Soft breasts, beating heart

As I whisper in your ear I want to fucking tear you apart

I Get Off - Halestorm

I get off on you

Getting off on me

Give you what you want

But nothing is for free

It's a give and take

Kind of love we make

When the line is crossed

I get off

Gingerbread Man - Melanie Martinez

I'm the icing covering his body

I wanna hold him so close, so tightly

Baby, how do I say this politely?

Love me harder and don't be nice, please

I wanna feel your crumbs on my body

I want to break you in pieces, fight me

Baby, don't be so scared of biting

Want to eat each other into nothing

Hundred - The Fray

Its hard I must confess

But I'm banking on the rest to clear away

Cause we have spoken everything

Everything short of I love you

You right where you are

From right where I am

Somewhere between

Unsure and a hundred

Third Eye - Florence + The Machine

Cause there's a hole where your heart lies

And I see can it with my third eye

And though my touch, it magnifies

You pull away, you don't know why

'Cause your pain is a tribute

The only thing you let hold you

Wear it now like a mantle

Always there to remind you

Pagan Poetry - Bjork

On the surface simplicity

But the darkest pit in me

And it's pagan poetry

Pagan poetry

This time, I'm gonna keep it to myself

This time, I'm gonna keep me all to myself

But he makes me want to hand myself over

Mechanical Love - In This Moment

And I know you'll never understand me

No matter how hard we try

And I know I'll never understand you

And your mechanical love

I still hear you in my sleep

Your running through my veins

Your whispers, your machine

We knew it was meant to be

But never meant to last

I'm sorry, you always knew

Tender - Stuck In The Sound

Please believe that I won't

Won't give you a chance

To see me fall

Now I'm losing my head

You'll never see me

Never see me again

In love

Obsession

The Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin

Try to find out what makes you tick

'Cause I lie down sore and sick, do you like that? Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate

And I don't mind, just let me say that I like that, I like that

Desperate, I will crawl

Waiting for so long

No love, there is no love

Die for anyone

What have I become?

Decode - Paramore

How can I decide what's right

When you're clouding up my mind?

I can't win your losing fight, all the time

Nor can I ever own what's mine

When you're always taking sides

But you won't take away my pride

No, not this time

You Know You Like It - DJ Snake & AlunaGeorge

You know you like it but it drives you insane

You know you like it but it drives you insane

You know you like it but you're scared of the shame

What you want? What you gonna do?

I'm So Sick - Flyleaf

Hear it! I'm screaming it!

You're heeding to it now

Hear it! I'm screaming it!

You tremble at this sound

You sink into my clothes

This invasion

Makes me feel

Worthless, hopeless, sick

Liar (Manic Depressive Mix by ASP) - Emilie Autumn

I want to hold you to the sun

I want to be your faithful one

I want to show you all the beauty you don't even know you hold

I'm hurting you for your own good

I'd die for you, you know I would

I'd give up all my wealth to buy you back the soul you never sold

I want to mix our blood and put it in the ground

So you can never leave

I want to win your trust, your faith, your heart

You'll never be deceived

Liar

Love Me Dead - Ludo

You're a faith-healer on T.V.

You're an office park without any trees

Corporate and cold

Gushing for gold

Leave me alone

You suck so passionately

You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature

Finger-bangin' my heart

You call me up drunk

Does the fun ever start?

The Horror of Our Love - Ludo

I'm a killer, cold and wrathful

Silent sleeper, I've been inside your bedroom

I've murdered half the town, left you love notes on their headstones

I'll fill the graveyards until I have you

Moonlight walking, I smell your softness

Carnivorous and lusting to track you down among the pines

I want you stuffed into my mouth

Hold you down and tear you open

Live inside you, love, I'd never hurt you

But I'll grind against your bones until our marrows mix

I will eat you slowly

Breezeblocks - Alt J

She may contain the urge to run away

But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks

Germolene, disinfect the scene, my love, my love, love, love

But please don't go, I love you so, my lovely

Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole

I love you so, I love you so, I love you so

A Love Suicide - Yutaka Minobe

I will do you harm, I will break my arm

I'm a victim of your charms

I want to be dead

When I am, I'm in bed

I can be so mean, you can beat me

I would like to shame you

I would like to blame you

Just because of my love to you

And love itself is just as innocent as roses in May

I know nothing can drive it away

Though love itself is just as brief as a candle in the wind

And it's greedy just like sin

Run - Thien Baccarin

Run.

Death

Protect Me - Placebo

Maybe we're victims of fate, remember when we'd celebrate?

We'd drink and get high until late, and now we're all alone

Wedding bells ain't gonna chime with both of us guilty of crime

And both of us sentenced to time, and now we're all alone

Protect me from what I want, protect me from what I want

Protect me from what I want, protect me, protect me

Cage of Bones - Son Lux

Let's be anyone but you and me today

Trade this heavy cage of bones for flight

And when the sirens reach out for us

We'll be far away

Oh, what a noise we'll make

Drowning out our mistakes, we can't erase

This is the chance we take

We shout until our bones break, we can't replace

Are we now what we'll be?

Are we fixed or free?

Blue - A Perfect Circle

I didn't want to know, I just didn't want to know

Best to keep things in the shallow end

'Cause I never quite learned how to swim

I just didn't want to know

Close my eyes just to look at you

Taken by this seamless vision

I close my eyes, ignore the smoke

Call an optimist, she's turning blue

Such a lovely color for you

Call an optimist, she's turning blue

While I just sit and stare at you

Come As You Are - Yuna

Come as you are, as you were

As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend

As an old enemy

Take your time, hurry up

Choice is yours, don't be late

Take a rest as a friend

As an old memoria, memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun

No, I don't have a gun

Running Up That Hill - Placebo

You don't wanna hurt me

But see how deep the bullet lies

Unaware I'm tearin' you asunder

Oh, there is thunder in our hearts

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?

Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we?

It's you and me

Won't be unhappy

And if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get Him to swap our places

Be runnin' up that road, be runnin' up that hill, be runnin' up that building

With no problems

Lacrymosa - Evanescence

Out on your own

Cold and alone again

Can this be what you really wanted, baby?

Blame it on me

Set your guilt free

Nothing can hold you back now, love

Last Flowers - Radiohead

And if I'm gonna talk

I just wanna talk

Please don't interrupt

Just sit back and listen

'Cause I can't face the evening straight

You can offer me escape

Houses move and houses speak

If you take me there you'll get relief

It's too much, too bright, too powerful

Passive - A Perfect Circle

"Dead as dead can be"

My doctor tells me

But I just can't believe him

Ever the optimistic one

I'm sure of your ability

To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me

Don't play dead 'cause maybe

Someday, I will walk away and say

"You disappoint me"

Maybe you're better off this way

In The Lake - Emilie Autumn

In the lake

You will find me

Behind your house

Behind your house

And from that lake

I will remind you

Of your promises broken

Your cruel words spoken

My ocean is bluer than the heart you had to break

My sea is deeper than your lake

Vienna - The Fray

Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again

Straighten this whole thing out

Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy

This is the distance

And this is my game face

There's really no way to reach me

There's really no way to reach me

Is there really no way to reach me?

Am I already gone?

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

Tidbit from my BxA college au fic...

[armando-triplepapito]

I always wonder what it would've been like if Betty chose Michel. If she would regret it. If she would still end up with Armando.

Tbh I can’t see it! I’ve tried reading BxMD fanfics but I always drop them cause I can’t see them ever being an item. Betty was never romantically interested in Michel and he was always pushy, doing things that made Betty uncomfortable. I’ll never forget how he tried kissing her, she was so uncomfortable! I’m surprised they continued being good friends cause if I were her I would’ve kept my distance 😬

Idk how people ship them maybe they see something that I don’t.

I do remember reading a fic where they both end up married with a child. It was a good marriage since they had a great friendship and she loved her child but deep down she did regret her decision of not getting back together with Armando. The love she had for Armando was one of a kind and knew she would never be able to love anyone the same way. It was a sad ending, she loved her family but yearned for her lost love.

Whenever I think about Betty and Michel together I always think about that fic. I just feel like this pair would never work and tbh for me there’s no other pair than Betty x Armando. They’re soulmates they’re meant to be. I don’t think they’ll be able to love others the way they love each other. Even if they didn’t end up together at the end of the series I feel like they’ll reunite years later.

Sorry it’s just that I’m a hardcore Betty x Armando shipper😔✊🏼

Saw someone complaining that people need to learn the difference between tagging AxB and BxA, and I mean, I'm old school, I get the issue, but doesn't AO3 automatically wrangle those as the same tag anyway?

--

Yes.

Because while it was a fairly widespread behavior in English-speaking anime fandom, it wasn't universal, and it was rare in English-speaking Western fandoms. (Yes, we went out and surveyed older sites and such.)

From the beginning, AO3 has expected people to use additional tags to indicate what flavor of relationship it is and the ship section for the very basic tag.

[two-wizards-in-a-trench-coat]

love seeing people argue about AxB vs BxA ships. I feel like my mom whenever i try to explain magic the gathering to her. like what are you on about

Thank you for saying Aldo is not good looking at all. Seriously, everyone fawning over his looks (El Cuartel and Luigi) had me thinking we, as the audience, were being bamboozled. The actor didn’t look so bad in other soaps, I think it’s just that he looked much older than Fernando and Lety? Also, I hated his voice lmao and if we include all the red flags of his character, no wonder many of us didn’t like him 😂 he completely robbed Lety of her character development, I will die on this hill. Michel displayed problematic behaviors, but at least didn’t play a huge role on the story until the very end. If Betty’s big proposal to save Ecomoda had been all about Michel’s project, I would’ve been so mad (I know this is simply not possible in ysblf because it’s about fashion and he is a chef whereas in lfmb it’s a production company, so they couldn’t go for the same idea as in the original version, so the door was wide open to come up with something that involved Aldo 😪).

Circa 2006, Vale and Camil were 31 and 33. Soler was 40\41. not very old. but weird that they cast him as the secondary love interest. im certain his casting was bc he reached a certain demographic (older women that like him). bc it certainly wasn't for the youth (women and girls 25 and younger were only in love with fernando\camil).

Aldo's styling is Committed Beach Bum to highlight his flowy, easy, not stressful lifestyle. (the beach jewelry too, ugh). If you notice Michel was not styled that way in Cartagena. He wears light colors, whites and blues (to highlight his frenchy white man blue eyes), his shirts are big and not tucked tightly or at all, he doesn't wear suits or ties. He's easy going, relaxed. (the complete opposite of Armando). Aldo looks like someone who's constantly telling himself to relax. There is something so forced about Aldo's entire character, fm the way the he's written, styled and acted.

It's like Soler himself didn't know what he was doing there, so he just acted like he would if he were a villain in a normal telenovela. There's a huge disconnect. Also, Soler isn't very attractive unless he has facial hair. (see Apuesta Por Un Amor, where he's decent looking.) (he's not my type, feel a need to stress that). (in both Ysblf and Lfmb, everyone fawns over Michel\Aldo and im like 'what am i supposed to be fawning over? men that need to moisturize more???)

I responded to an old ask here about Michel and what happens if he doesn't arrive at Ecomoda to trigger the events of BxA's reconciliation.

But Ocampo and Televisa were like 'well what if we don't let Letty heal and dont give her a make over and Aldo stays forever?'

Congratulations, now you have two protagonists that are stunted and a second love interest who looks like a villain out of a lifetime movie.

Letty was absolutely robbed of her character development when they decided Aldo was more important. Including Fernando.

I had to do some quick refreshing on Aldo and I came across the Fernando and Aldo fight outside of Conceptos.(must be noted that Aldo throws the first punch BTW). I completely forgot they had a physical fight. And after watching it I realized it was the Fernando\Tomas fight redone.

Because Fernando says something like 'he's just using you. he came here and followed you down here bc he wanted to use you for his business'. which is similar to things he says not only about nicolas but also daniel (idr what daniel's name is in lfmb). Anyway he digs himself into a hole and Aldo's like 'yes, bc i want to do business with her'. But he also throws in Fernando's face that he can say\yell out that he's in love with Letty and Fernando can't (And he doesn't). Which again, as we know in Ysblf, Cartagena Arc and after it, Armando doesn't care anymore about his appearance and all he wants is to be with Betty and love her openly.

And then moments before Fernando appears, Aldo tells Letty that he loves her and Letty says 'no, no it's not possible I'm ugly'. Which....I mean do I have to go into it? Do I really need to? She didn't get to heal. She still puts herself down. And now you have some guy she doesn't know saying he's the only one that can love her. (This actually IS a red flag).

If Armando had gotten into a physical fight with Michel, it would show that he hadn't changed. If Armando was challenged to say he loved Betty out loud in some public setting and then didn't do it, it would show he hadn't changed. If Betty hadn't healed and learned to love and accept herself, she wouldn't have the confidence to stand up for herself or run Ecomoda.

Letty and Fernando were robbed of those moments, which is shame because they have decent actors. I would go so far as saying that Aldo\Soler was given protagonist level priority because of his name and fame.

Literally Michel's only job was to give Armando competition and give Betty incentive to leave Bogota. He does display some red flags that, imo, are supposed to contrast with who Betty is now and also contrast with Armando. Betty is much more independent by the end, she doesn't need another man in her life telling her what to do. She needs an equal partner to support her emotionally. Michel wants to fix her, guide her, tell her what do do. ('Let me drive, drink this instead, take this job working for me). Armando wants another chance to show her that he wants what she wants.

Aldo never, ever, ever, should have been given a whole plot about needing Conceptos to help his gastronomy fair or whatever it is that he was doing. It could have literally just been 'I'm opening a seafood restaurant in mexico city. I came to say hi and also, maybe date you?'. They could have kept it at that and let Letty fix Conceptos on her own. There were other ways to make Aldo stay longer without taking away from Letty.

Since Concepto's is a production company in Lfmb, to make a connection\reference to Ysblf, Letty's idea could have been about promoting a suffering mexican fashion company's clothes and suggest to said company that the only way to promote their line is to open their market to every woman and then Letty's puts the cuartel in this said commercial and watch the sales go up. This is not a clear idea but it's better than gastronomy fair because it would give Letty agency.

In conclusion, Aldo should have drowned in the ocean devoured by the Acapulco waves, never to be seen again. And Angelica Vale deserved to showcase her dramatic acting talents instead of....all of that.

[mariaantonnietta]

Hey death note fandom, i wanna do a BxA fic. So I was into death note like 10 years ago, now my interested is picked again. Last time nobody knew about A name, etc. But now i find videos saying his name is Alexander Ryuuzaga and he had brown hair, etc, but I never see any official source for that info. I know it's not in Another note, i read that recently, and I don't remember well how to read but i think it was't there either. My guess is that it was revealed in some interview, does anybody know where it was revealed?

[a1li-ens]

DONT REBLOG !!!!!!! I ONLY WANT TO HEAR FROM MY FOLLOWERS what do you think........ im doing research . AxB refers to YOUR favorite characters
