#a couple of goofballs

[devondespresso]

i love a stobin who are absolutely bonkers together. steve feeling like he can be goofy with her and robin releasing her inner weird tween girl thats been locked away for a millennium. Robin deadpanning steve when he says a bad pun or dad joke and steve deadpanning robin when she makes his bed inside out (blanket and pillows inside the sheet)(bob how did you get pillow cases inside the pillows what the hell)(your welcome for drawing the line at putting things in the mattress)

I think the main appeal of twipie is the nerd x goofball aspect. Also, twilight and pinkie pie antagonize each other way less as the seasons go on. Plus they're always bumping into each other or hugging or anything really. It's mostly just a 'it's just cute if you don't look too deep into it'

idk man literally the last episode with them as focus is about twilight not wanting to spend time with her bc she's annoying, I never rly saw it as endearing myself; Sure, we got opposites attract, but it aint always as endearing, when they cancel each other out, not bring out the best of each other!

(EXAMPLE: Rarijack as opposites attract tends to function because Applejack gets a new thing to focus other than family, a really fancy and beautiful woman that she wants to impress and treat like a queen, and Rarity gets to come down from a pedestal to enjoy little things, a simpler life that meshes her desire for a perfect partner with the realistic expectations of a hardworking strong kind big sweaty farm woman lol)

They do have more friend chemistry than characters like Rarity and Rainbow dash (I think its funny that they have an episode dedicated to the fact that they DONT fit as friends lmao. Also that noir Rariry episode is a banger)

Yeah if you ask me not to look deep into it you don't know who you're talking to lmao look at the amount of work I put into this:

I don't do romance without looking deep into it sorrey

More Dain Stuff

So I'm still thinking about Dain and more so, who he might end the story with.

Now, I'm 98.9% sure Violet will stick with Xaden. Not saying it couldn't be interesting if, after the whole Venin thing and their already rocky relationship they broke up, but at the same time that's not how romance novels are written. The story might have dragons, but it is primarily a romance book. Xaden has always been the main focus of Violet and they got together in the first book--just like other fantasy/romance books; think Edward/Bella or Alina/Mal. Plus, most of her audience really like them together; not having them as end game would be alienating her readers.

So Dain's not ending up with Violet. To be honest he could end the story single if he survives, but I'd be a little surprised. Many authors even outside the romance genre have a habit of pairing up their characters at the end. It would be nice if the series didn't go that route, especially if it didn't have a time-skipped epilogue, but I'm expecting at least the main side characters to get paired up to some extent since it is a romance book.

That leaves the question of who he could be paired up with. It's hard to say at this point because he hasn't had many interactions with anyone besides Violet. The few times other characters mention him, most don't really like him. They're are Violet's friends or Marked, so they already have a poor opinion of him or hate him for Liam's death.

I'm not saying that Yarros couldn't have those characters change their opinion of Dain in later books (I really hope they do) and then pair him off with one of them. The issue is that I think most of Violet's close group have been given hints already to who they'll end up with. Sawyer is crushing on Jesinia, Imogen on Garrick. Rhiannon is with Tara, who will hopefully get better established as a character in later books. Though brief Sloane and Cam have some flirtation and in a lot of ways it would make a lot of sense to have them end up together, particularity if Cam becomes King. It would fully show the Marked ones are apart of the kingdom again and fully trusted.

Now, Ridoc is a possibility, but only if Dain is established as bi (which isn't impossible). The biggest hurdle there is that Ridoc is the exact opposite of Dain in a lot of ways. He's the goofball, while Dain is portrayed as a strict. Ridoc doesn't like him. It's really doubtful they'd get along. That could change as the series goes on; Ridoc could show a more serious side, while Dain could lighten up. Violet said he used to smile and laugh a lot, be less of a rule follower. Maybe Ridoc could bring that back out. I think it could be pretty cute and honesty it'd be cool if Yarros put an end to a love triangle by pairing up the spare with another guy.

One possibility though that I really find interesting and I could see is Cat.

First of all she also needs paired up as that failed third wheel of a love triangle with Xaden. There is a man in her Gryphon Flier group that likes her, so that might be who she gets put with in the end, but if that does happen I hope he gets a bit more screen time given how important Cat has been at least during Iron Flame.

Second, their powers complement each other. Dain can see memories (pretty much read minds to an extent) while Cat can manipulate emotions as long as they're present. I could easily see these two using teamwork to get stuff done. Cat could get someone upset enough that they lower their shields so Dain can read them, or Dain could read someones memories and give Cat the best ammunition to get them into the state of mind she needs to manipulate their emotions. Physical fights wouldn't change much but in intelligence work they could be really good as a team.

Third, I want a Flier/Rider romance and Cat's the most prominent Gyphon Flier we have as of Iron Flame. She's third in line for the throne which is interesting and could mean she ends up as Queen. Giving her a dragon Rider partner could be a good way of showing that even once the Venin are gone Navarre and Poromeil are still allies. Also would be interesting to see how a relationship like that was seen by the dragons.

Fourth, it'd be a bit funny. Cat is Xaden's ex, while Dain was Violet's first crush and childhood friend. I doubt Xaden would care much, since he never cared about Cat, but I think Violet would have many conflicting feelings about it which would be fun to see her stress over. By the end of Iron Flame she seems to have grown to respect Cat and Cat respects her in return, but I it wasn't that long ago she hated her. Meanwhile, although she was furious at Dain, he was her best friend for fifteen years.

It'd just be funny to see Violet struggling with that sort of roller coaster of emotions and perhaps catching herself thinking similar things Dain said to her about Xaden. I mean I could see her first thought being Cat is getting close to Dain to mess with her, since she can't get to Xaden anymore. Having her catch herself and realize she's making snap judgments could lead to some interesting conversations with both Dain and Cat or even Xaden talking to her more about his past with Cat. Just cool character interactions all around!

Fifth, character development. Dain is seen as Mr. By the Book, and although there probably isn't some rule against Flier/Rider relationships (because they've never worked together before) it could still be seen as wrong. They might be working together but they were enemies for hundreds of years. Dain picking Cat despite it being seen as against the spirit of the Codex continues his growth as getting over his issue of putting rules before people he cares about.

Meanwhile Cat, although tackling her anti-Dragon Rider hate and working with Violet has another flaw the one that was probably the biggest reason her and Xaden broke up. She wanted a crown. Now, I actually don't think this is a terrible thing for her to want given what we know of her and her situation. Poromeil has been essentially left to die by Navarre for hundreds of years. Frankly it makes sense Cat would want political power so she could use it to form an alliance with a Kingdom that might be strong enough to save her home.

Still the story makes it appear to be a flaw--that she wanted a crown over love. So, in that sense picking Dain, someone who isn't a prince or king, and has very little sway with anyone with power (Xaden hates him, and he deserted the army so he doesn't have any allies on that front either--dude is not getting a good job no mater whose in charge) shows she'll pick over over a crown. Even if afterwards she still gets the throne of Poromeil for whatever reason, it'd still prove she picked Dain over power.

So, that's my essay on possible end ships for Dain. I sort of still think he'll die--I'm always prepared for a character I like to die. But if he does live and get paired up I'd say it'd be Cat, with Ridoc as a runner up.

Ophelia gives a thumbs up, but in the other hand— an electric shaver whirrs to life. With that glint in her eye, might be best not to get too close to her right now (especially if you aren’t looking for a sudden change in style)…

Head canons for ✨Aruden✨

1) Aiden hates taking selfies, as we all know, but once in a while, Aru convinces him. And they make goofy or lovey-dovey faces and once in a while, Aiden just likes to see Aru’s smile in each of them because he was the one to make her smile this way.

2) Aiden lowkey tries to be smooth (he moved the chair to be closer to Aru, I cannot!) but it sometimes blows up in his face and Aru just laughs. She can’t help but look at his adorable face all flustered because he forgot what he was going to say or he tripped as he was making a move

3) When they are older, they like exploring places around the world and Otherworld with the help of Rudy. They take days-long retreats to be at peace or do some crazy wacky activity together like ziplining or traveling the Naga kingdom

4) They enjoy hanging out and just being friends like watching movies or having debates about LOTR or other books or movies they watch. They can talk for hours about Legolas or Bollywood movies, or just eat ice cream while making fun of each other

5) Aru loves playing Chess against Aiden. The first they played, Aiden was initially somewhat smug until Aru beat him 6 times in a row. Brynne laughed for days, so Aiden tries to get better at Chess to beat Aru one day. It hasn’t happened yet.

6) You can’t tell me that they don’t train together and throw insults or try to make the other flustered. They might call out mean names or try flirting with each other. Mini and Brynne are fed with them and their antics.

7) For Holi, the two of them have a contest on who can get the most powder on the other, and once it’s over they give each other kisses since Holi represents spring and new love. They would hold each other’s powder-smeared faces and smile
