#I/S/O dynamics

[erseac]

There need to be more fanfics where the characters are into photography. Not just because you can give everyone an EOS and then tag it as "fully Canon", but also so we can finally use the tag

"Lila Rossi's Lies Are Over-Exposed"

[comfort-character-central]

"But canon says they wouldn't like--" LALALALALAAAAA I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT, CANON SAYS I'M ACTUALLY PERFECT FOR MY F/O. THEY LOVE ME AND CARE ABOUT ME CAUSE I SAID SO. SO THERE. IT'S LITERALLY CANON! SO THERE.

"Still trying to intimidate me? Cute."

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Meta Knight and Galacta Knight based off of a couple dynamics template by @/ReddsMess on Twitter. Original template and source below the cut, as well as a HAL language variant. Top-left panel - high-angle shot of MK lit from above, standing firm and glaring up through his mask, his wings curled out and breaching the panel in places, subtitled "Well well..." Top-right panel - low-angle shot of GK lit from below, looming in the air and leering down through his mask, his wings curled out and his hands spread wide in challenge, both of which breach the panel in places, subtitled "Look who came to see me..." Bottom panel - MK & GK stand next to each other, the latter leaning towards the former and gently caressing the side of his mask with the back of one hand, grinning smugly and wrapping a wing around the knight, subtitled "My Knightmare." MK stands stiffly with his fists clenched at his sides, blushing vividly and glaring away from the warrior. A little flurry of white hearts emanate from GK, while one small one hovers above MK. END ID.)

No, your villain f/o wouldn't be abusive towards you. No, you don't have to imagine that. I don't care if people tell you to go more "canon accurate", but that absolutely doesn't have to be the case. Fiction is just fiction, and can be molded in a way where you don't have to emotionally torture yourself.

you know what I'm thinking about?? beck oliver. yeah the one from victorious first of all FUCK YOU dan schneider and I'm specifically thinking about this clip from the episode where they try to make a reality show about their high school 0:31

I really hate that beck is one of those characters like lucas friar and tristin dugray where we simply do not get more clarity on them as a person. one of the few times we get to see beck really open up and talk about WHY he's so passionate about acting and it's immediately cut off and overshadowed by how he looks. dare I say he has elle woods syndrome. "beck and jade are toxic" "beck should date cat" "beck and robbie fuck" yeah yeah you know what he REALLY NEEDS????? he needs someone that does not give a single fuck about how he looks. he needs someone who prioritizes HIM instead of his hair. yes he's pretty and he has nice hair but those are all sprinkles. he needs somone who cares about the rest of the cupcake, not just the decorations. I think the reason he thinks he likes angry girls who yell and fight with him all the time is because when he and jade fight she's yelling at him about anything other than his hair. he needs a break from constantly being objectified is my point. you know what would be great?? beck dating a screenwriter. someone who works on the scripts for the hollywood arts shows they put on. someone who hunts him down in the halls looking like they rolled out of a dumpster with sikowitz and reeks of coffee because they've been up for 36 hours to meet their deadline and finish their homework.

you are just that. you do other stuff at hollywood arts too, but there's really not a lot of script writers there, so you've found a way to pretty much corner the market and it looks FANTASTIC on your student transcript, plus you get extra credit for it, which is even better. you're wearing a hoodie that looks like you slept in it for two days (true if you had slept at all) and you're not aware of the two or three empty jet brew cups shoved into your hoodie pocket, plus the extra one you're carrying that you're almost done with.

"Beck!"

you manage to startle him a little which is surprising because he is totally unscareable. he doesn't think you've ever exchanged two words before now, he doesn't even know if he knows your name.

"I need to talk to you," you pant, a little delerious from caffeine and sleep depravation and excitement. "I finished the script for the next play-"

Beck didn't realize that a student was writing any of the shows they put on, he thought they were all lisenced or from local writers.

"It's a dystopian retelling of frankenstein with- with cyberpunk influences," you ramble, "and I need to know if you're okay playing the lead." you pant, still trying to catch your breath and not lose your train of thought.

"some pretty fucked up stuff happens and you'd have to quickly lose your morals and go from morally gray to kind of antagonistic pretty quickly..." you look up at him and hand him a script full of sticky flags. "I wanna make sure there's nothing that'll make you too uncomfortable... like I said it gets pretty fucked up, but I wrote it with you in mind for the doctor, so- just, let me know what you think."

before he can answer, you trudge into the janitor's closet and fall asleep on top of a pile of paper towels.

Beck takes the script home to look over, and he's genuinely surprised for a number of reasons. he expected to be typecast as the love interest yet again, but you want him as the antagonistic lead. it's a really complex role, and has absolutley nothing to do with how he looks. you even left a sticky note in there by accident, and he reads your scribbled handwriting. doc MUST be smwn who fully commits and dgaf if it makes them look bad or silly or unattractive. if they get self consious it ruins the char

underneith are two or three names scribbled out, then his, underlined several times. he is so genuinely shocked by this decision, and absolutely fascenated by your script. he's actually getting really excited to play a role that will challenge him for once.

the next day he meets you with the script tucked under one arm and a coffee in each hand. he hands one to you, and you thank him with a pleasantly surprised smile.

"You seem like you could use it."

"That's putting it mildly..." you mutter in agreement, and he bites back a chuckle when you remove the lid and down half the cup at once. You look at him anxiously after that, and your eyes flit between him and your script. "So... what did you think?"

"I... accept." relief floods through you. "I've already been thinking about my character and going over my lines. But why did you want me for Victor?"

You shrug a little.

"Well, you got the script like, 12 hours ago and you're already developing your portrayal of him, so that's a pretty good reason there," you chuckle, "and I... I hope this doesn't sound mean, but I don't think there are a lot of other people here who could pull off such a complex antagonistic main character."

you state, taking another sip of coffee.

"Everyone here is great, really-" you emphasize, hoping you don't sound like a dick. "I just feel like no one else could really bring the depth to him that you could. He's a horrible person, but I still want the audience to sympathize with him at times, and go wow he's a fucked up asshole at others without making it feel disjointed. I think you're really the only one who has the skills to pull that off."

honestly, if Beck had slightly less self control he would have started wailing and sobbing right then. Instead, he's determined to live up to your expectations and prove to you that your faith in him will pay off. You work pretty closley with production of the show, and with Beck. after closing night, you and Beck are still pretty close, to your pleasant surprise. his friends are a little curious why Beck suddenly is spending all his free time with one of those kids in their class who never talks or says anything, but he seems... happy. he did in fact fall first, and he definitely fell harder. he falls even more when months pass and he realizes you are still too adorably oblivious to realize how he feels.

SELF SHIP IMAGINES #59

You're having brunch with ya pals and then your f/o walks up

"That's my ride, we'll talk later, byeee ♡" you say as you hop onto their back, and hit your f/o's sides with your spurs, prompting them to neigh and gallop off into the sunset.

[fumifooms]

What if we were both magic prodigies and it otherized us in different ways and we devoted ourselves to protecting a family member who has general other goals & priorities. What if we both did self-sacrifical devotion in opposite ways.

What if we were dark mirrors of each other and where I've grown overcontrolling you've grown complacent. What if, bought as a servant into a pretty loving home, ownership and control is what love looks like to me, and to you neglected and lonely growing up, love is gratefully taking any scraps of it you’re lent.

By belonging to someone, even if she comes back injured or fails at finding Delgal, she feels like she belongs and is cherished, by owning someone he feels safe in them not leaving him.

She’s what’s tethering him do you see… And he’s the only thing giving her direction and purpose in her state. She needs a compass and he needs a support.

They’re both so out of it 😭 It’s the weirdly intense and unearned mutual trust and reliance on each other?? They’re each other’s weird little comfort codependent teddy bear. Or at least they were headed towards that before SHE DIED THEN HE DIED THEN THEY BOTH FORGOT ABOUT EACH OTHER AND NEVER MET EVER AGAIN. Though she’s also the guard attack hound keeping him safe… And vice versa he heals her and can rewrite her very being with just one wave of his hand. They’re both so so mentally and physically vulnerable both but they cling onto each other. They can’t perceive things accurately but despite it all someway somehow they stumble into something closer to resembling companionship just before they both die. Falin is just that kind and Thistle is just that lonely. Overworked.

We both haven’t lived for ourselves in a very long time, haven’t we.

They both have a similar devotion to the people they love but again the difference is that Thistle starts overtsepping while Falin is self-effacing. The other difference between them is that people care about Falin <3 People have given up on Thistle long ago, and he has given people reasons to, while people refuse to give up on Falin. Yaad has a mini arc about it dw about it it’s ok he’s not all alone in the end 😭😭 He reached out for Marcille’s hand but they already all wanted to help him, they just had to be given the chance to, Yaad just had to be given the chance to, it’s okay I’m okay

Hey what if we learned to get in touch with our own identity and the world around us and living in the present again through being in the worst codependent situationship ever.

Falin and Thistle sitting in a tree, sucking on flowers together because they’re h-u-n-g-r-y 💕💕💕

I bet he’s only ever thought of flowers as useless ornaments. Weak weeds. But she shows him they’re tasty and useful and good and pretty in their own right too and deserve existing without proving their worth and waaa <33 Thistles…... Did you know thistles taste sweet if you remove the thorns and eat them?

"Even as a chimera, her kind nature remains" you can’t suppress her in the way that matters. You can’t soothe him in the way that matters. It’s doomed. You’re doomed. It’s all doomed. Save me.

What Happens in Austria... series by @amarynas

-- post iconic Austrian GP 2019, the height of lestappen beef, delicious tension. charles goes into pre-heat on max's private jet.

we go way back by @drivestraight

-- my current roman empire. FIA mandates pre-approved heat/rut partners for all the drivers. the relationship in this fic is palpable and holy fuck the smut is next level.

Half Here, Half There by loveleclerc

-- the first A/B/O fic i read in this fandom, so it has a special place in my heart. max is a retired detective who provides a safe home for a recovering omega (charles). action-packed, heart-warming, HEA.

He Wanted It Comfortable, I Wanted That Pain by RougeBaie

-- on the grid, canon-compliant. the perfect fuck buddies meets miscommunication trope. bonus point to background carlando if you're into that pairing (which i am)!!

everything to prove, nothing to lose by @awaywegofg

-- all i can say is it starts with pierre fucking charles and charles moaning max's name and... yeah it's just a great, non-traditional A/B/O fic that i really enjoyed. the characterization was splendid.

liking star wars is a green flag

[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

A show that I think four of the sides would like, specifically Remus, Virgil, Logan, and Emile

Hannibal (TV series not the movies)

Remus likes it cuz of the gore

Virgil likes it cuz of Will Graham being a silly little guy like himself 😖 (in reality, Re forced him to watch and he actually enjoyed it)

Logan likes it cuz...well the FBI and some cool facts he gets to learn

Emile for two reasons...V forced him to watch and because of Hannibal Lecter (who is a pyschiatrist)

thank you for listening to my tedtalk

~👾~

Y E S I L O V E that for them they absolutely would!!! Ree definitely converts them to being Hannigram shippers XD

Imagine your f/o is a famous musician ♫

Your at one of their concerts, you are obsessed, and jumping an singing. You're in some of the front rows, having paid extra for that... and a meet and greet! ★

After the concert your throat is raw but you are buzzing in excitement. You are wearing one of their's hoodies and another merch item (you decide).

You get directed by security to down a hall, it's nights are blinking in and out. It's a slightly creepy hallway but you don't care!!

You are finally meeting them!!

The security staff knocks and you get called to go in. It's just you and them. They are sitting on a plush couch and motion for you to sit beside them. You're kinda half off the couch, you are buzzing, you are being a total dork.

They grab your shoulders and yank you back, so you are squished next to them, their arm is now draped over you.

"So you're a fan?" They smirk at you. And you can't help but blush and squirm.

"How could I not be?"

They laugh, and begin to ask you questions, and you answer and ask them what inspires them, why they wrote a certain song, what's their favorite song of theirs and others, yadda yadda. You both talk a while.

Until a knock at the door again, time for the next person. You stand up to leave when they grab your wrist to stop you.

"You'll come back, won't you?"
