#bromance = romance so…

[naminoor]

Bro i just finished reading the Odyssey and i swear Telemachus and Peisistratus r quite literally my favourite characters.

Like Nestor went: “Ah hello son of Odysseus, this is my !SINGLE! And !VERY STRONG AND HANDSOME! Son that is coincidentally !AROUND THE SAME AGE AS YOU! And you shall SLEEP IN THE SAME BED AS HIM and he will ACCOMPANY YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY!”

And also in Sparta where Telemachus had to wake up Peisistratus and just kicked him? And Peisistratus was like ‘bro go to bed it is like 3AM’.

Also Telemachus called Peistratus ‘light of my heart’

And Peistratus asked Menelaus about his brother bc he never knew him.

And when Telemachus had to like go back to Ithaka he asked Peisitratus for help since Nestor would try to find a way to make Tele stay and Peisitraus was like:’i got u dont worry!’

They r such underrated characters (which is wild considering Telemachus is quite literally odysseus’ son) .

I am also obsessed with EPIC the musical and i know Peisistratus is probably not gonna appear and that makes me sad bc i like him so much (still very excited for the wisdom saga though bc Telemachus)

Anyways that was my rant, one last message before i go:

Telemachus and Peisistratus were gay as hell

Bye bye :D

Don't you think it's funny cause actual canon gay characters in BL manga/manhwa will say "I love you" but only the shounen bromance can spew out some of the most romantic shit akin to a 19th century poet writing a letter expressing his surpressed love for his lover 😭.....

BUT LIKE

FOR REAL.

I'LL BE WATCHING OR READING SOMETHING AND THEY WILL SAY THE MOST ROMANTIC ASS SHIT BUT PEOPLE ARE LIKE

"AH YES. THE BROTHERHOOD THEY SHARE" LIKE WHAT ARE YOU HEARING????

ZORO FROM ONE PIECE IS THE BEST FUCKING EXAMPLE ISTG

PROMISING TO NEVER LOSE AGAIN? THRILLER BARK?? "ZORO, CUT IT"??? "BUT THEY SPILLED THE OSHIRUKO ON PURPOSE"??? HIM BEGGING MIHAWK TO GET STRONGER *TO PROTECT LUFFY*?? REFUSING TO LET LUFFY TAKE SHIT FROM USOPP??

SOBBING

ATLA Au where Sokka befriends a rogue Knowledge Seeker ✨

(More info under the cut)

Side A: Sokka Adopts A Stray Fox Spirit

- After a toddler Sokka gets lost in a blizzard, a Knowledge Seeker that is taking back a scroll wanders upon him. Knowledge Seekers in this world not only retrieve information for the library, but also protect it - sometimes with their life. - This particular Knowledge Seeker feels the need to protect Sokka (who, unbeknownst to them both, is going to be a genius who tilts the world of knowledge on its head), and disregards its former duty in order to make sure the tiny human makes it. - If Sokka dies, then so much knowledge will be lost to the world. The spirit can’t have that. It curls up around Sokka, giving the child warmth and saving his life. - It decides to stick around when it realizes this particular human is rather curious and thus drawn to danger, aiding this one in its destiny. And while spirits don’t need to eat (And can eat just about anything), it’s also a bonus that human treats are really good!! Side B: Sokka Becomes A Knowledge Seeker (or New Spirit Entirely...?)

- Everything is the same as above, except for the fact that young Sokka succumbs to the coldness despite the spirits best efforts... - The Knowledge Seeker, keen in fulfilling its duties, essentially thinks, “Well shit. Can't let this potential go to waste. I'll sacrifice myself in order to heal the world, aid destiny, and ultimately expand knowledge for the world. This human's worth it." - Doggo combines its essence with Sokka’s soul, and gives the child a second chance at life. - Sokka in return gets canine teeth, a bigger propensity for meat, can go Borf, probably has auburn hair (still not set on the design), and has most of the abilities of the Knowledge Seeker. - No ears or tail on a literal level (Maybe...), but these abilities include: enhanced hearing, the ability to innately and uncannily Know Things by accessing his past spirit life memories and having a connection to the library, a 6th sense for danger and spiritual activity, climbing up walls like Spider-Man, and eventually being able to walk back and forth between worlds! As well as typical dog traits, like growling, claws, teef, and a propensity for meat!

Redraw of my Dating Tim game idea!

A dating sim in which you play as Tim Drake, millionaire philanthropist, trying to find a date for his latest charity ball.

The main appeal of this non-existent game is that your wingman Jason is there with you every step of the way.

So it's really more of a 'Jason & Tim go around being judgemental about potential suitors' game than an actual dating sim. XDDD

Not sure how Jason is just there though. Should I make him a ghost? Maybe he's possessing Tim (and Tim is somehow chill with it). That way I can turn this game into a paranormal detective game halfway through for absolutely no reason. Hmm...

Gerard way is so gender.

 “...That’s another reason why this Soap and Ghost relationship works, right--is that, for whatever reason, y’know--that doesn’t need to be talked abut now...but--Ghost has, well it’s clear that Ghost has a huge amount of respect for Soap, right? And he wouldn’t let anybody--in fact, for anybody else to talk to him the way Soap does would mean a different thing--but they’ve been through a lot together. But what’s great about that moment--and I’m glad you brought it up Neil-- it that [Ghost and Soap] are pushing each other to evolve without even realizing it. And for Soap to say something like that costs something for him. And for Ghost to correct the record and say what he says, that costs something too. And I think, again, that’s why this game is so satisfying is these characters--they’re going to places they’ve not been before. But they help each other get there. And I think that’s a good theme that’s come out from this game is that, you know, they need each other.” 

-Samuel Roukin on Ghost and Soap in MWII (x)

Honestly, one of my favorite parts of that interview from yesterday. Not even from a shipping stand point, but Samuel just like seems to get it when it comes to what makes Ghost and Soap scratch at everyone’s brains and I think that’s awesome.

I think Trapper and Bernie should have kissed

Hello! Thanks for the tags @forabeatofadrum , @you-remind-me-of-the-babe , @hushed-chorus , @youarenevertooold , @wellbelesbian , and @blackberrysummerblog , and everyone else who has been tagging me over the past couple of weeks!

Fun fact! I started drafting this for WIPsday and then got buried under work. This describes my whole week.

Anyway, I'm really focused on my Holsom Timeloop at this moment so I will take this chance to again encourage all of you to read Check Please so that I can coerce you into reading this fic when it's ready. I am TRULY unreasonably excited about it. And of course @petedavidsonscock is only encouraging me. :-P Some of that below the cut per usual because I know most of y'all are here for my Simon Snow.

I have also been writing in fits and starts on Simon's Two Mums AU. Finally I understand the meme where someone is letting their old WIP drown in the pool while they toss the new WIP in the air. Sorry Simon's Two Mums, I'll be back with you full-ish time soon.

I also signed up for @carryon-reverse-bang as a writer. So. I'm excited about that. A little anxious. But excited! (Does this count as a collaboration re: my goal of collaborating on something this year? Maybe...)

Some words from Simon's two mums:

"Unfortunately the kind of information you're looking for is taken for granted in every magical text we have in our library. In our world, I would venture. Not much use in a primer on something you can just ask your parents about."

I wonder how different an upbringing he had to mine. In my youth there was no topic I'd have asked my parents about if there were a book available on it.

I make affirmative noises regardless.

Holsom Timeloop, which at this point I should just reveal the title of, since it's set in stone, and is Friday Prime. And here are six sentences!

Justin surfaces from sleep to a hand on his back and Holster's voice.

"Hey, bro, mind if I snuggle up?"

"No, man, come on up."

Holster climbs up the ladder and nudges himself into Justin's belly. He's a few inches taller, so he usually takes on big spoon duties, but Justin doesn't mind. With Holster's shoulder under his chin and one of his calves twisting into Justin's, he feels almost more embraced than when he's wrapped up in Holster.

Tagging and Sunday hellos to everyone!! Would love to know what you're up to!! @stitchyqueer @thewholelemon @confused-bi-queer @raenestee @facewithoutheart @cutestkilla @sillyunicorn @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @basiltonbutliketheherb @ileadacharmedlife @asocialpessimist @bookish-bogwitch @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @artsyunderstudy @yeonjunenby @carryonvisinata @takenabackbytuesdays @martsonmars @nightimedreamersghost  @chen-chen-chen-again-chen  @ionlydrinkhotwater @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @shrekgogurt   @palimpsessed @fatalfangirl @valeffelees @imagineacoolusername @orange-peony @j-nipper-95 @whogaveyoupermission @rimeswithpurple

Idk what BL manga or shounen you're reading but man the BL manga I've been reading over the years can get really romantic / floral / excessive / poetic / extra. But then I read like 100+ BL manga + webtoons last year alone so that might be why I still think BL manga is still more romantic than a shounen bromance. :D

(That being said, Killua goes so hard for Gon in the Chimera Ant arc - and tbh afterwards as well. But I've also just seen so many shounen where this isn't a thing at all, so I don't really think of shounen in this way, because imho the majority of it isn't quite like this. But when it goes hard, it goes hard indeed).

[happyk44]

Is2g I'm so tired of seeing posts and shit abt the pjo show and it's all abt Percy and Annabeth, like plz where is Grover, where's the chats about the bromance. Yeah yeah perc@beth soulmates blah blah, but what about the bromates, please 😩 I don't wanna have to watch the show to get a glimpse of it, and I can't keep being the only person I see making content about Percy being a possessive little shit over his best friend, y'all were supposed to get (re)inspired so I didn't have to be 😩

[a-confused-teen-venting]

Someone ever had a fantasy of like… living the rest of your life with your best friend?

Owning an apartment together, living along side each other everyday, making breakfast, going on trips to get groceries, sleeping in the same bed and cuddle, act like we are a couple but in actuality we aren’t and just so comfortable and domesticated with one another.

And like, that joke about “if we don’t get married when we are older, let’s get married together” kinda thing doesn’t sound too bad?

I don’t know if this makes sense.

[mengyanchen]

what is happening guys omg ryota might be a mess but fuck it i need them 😭

[staliaz]

you know stdia was a rushed fan service when you remember dylans interviews and he was so sure stalia was endgame. stdias be like "they were always the plan" but not even THE ACTOR was given that info so what now

Oh, absolutely.

The entire cast shipped Stalia, Dylan himself and Shelley being the biggest shippers if i may say so myself. Dylan was never told of the Stydia twist in the last season bc there were simply no plans for it to happen. Shelley also denied any weird love triangle allegations when she was asked by a interviewer bc again, there was nothing between Stydia til the end where it ruined the entire show and regressed Stiles’ character from the development he had moving on from obsessing over Lydia and finding the importance of finding someone who reciprocates that is Malia. Stydia was never a thing, it’s the most crackship pairing i have ever come across it’s actually bizarre how popular it is given they have no chemistry on screen nor any romantic interactions together.
