#but they're way more obsessed with each other

[demonadelem]

Phoenix and Edgeworth's actual canon dynamic in the games is everyone sees Edgeworth as this super smart intimidating hyper-competent prosecutor but Pheonix sees him as this kinda pathetic dorky wet cat and puts up with him as such. With alot of fond eyerolls at Edgeworth's utter ridiculousness he's usually right. Phoenix is 100% convinced that Edgeworth needs him but really Phoenix enjoys his company.

On Edgeworth's end, he treats Phoenix as if he's the dumb goofy one in the dynamic (he is) but inside he worships the ground he walks on and is the only force on the earth that could compel him to break the law.

Fanon rewrites Phoenix the most to make them more compatible because from the outset he does seem distant but I really don't think that's the case. They accept each other for who they are and work around each other's flaws while leaving room to grow.

They're mutually obsessed with each other in a way that inspires the both of them to be better and their relationship is built on a foundation of trust that makes them willing to give up control to the other. Phoenix and Edgeworth love each other, that's that.

Hello. Can youwrite lovesick Volturi Kings ? Please

Just gonna do Caius for now, if you want more just send another req <3

𝕮𝖆𝖎𝖚𝖘 𝖁𝖔𝖑𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖎

Lovesick Caius who becomes a fool for you. Yes he has a couple millenias worth of experience, and yet he still feels like a teen in love whenever he's with you. It's that never ending giddy feeling in which you consume all his thoughts. What should he wear to see you? What flowers might you want? How is your day going? Did you like that book he recommended? You plague his mind in a way nothing ever has and his stomach is in his throat when he's with you. I think your husband has a bit of a crush on you.

Lovesick Caius who loves to kiss your cheeks. Human or vampire he'll hold your chin with his fingers and just peck at them or maybe even give them a little nibble. He's obsessed with them really, nosing them, pinching them, squishing them, and holding them. They're just his favourite part of your face. And if you have dimples then you'll never escape him. He makes it his life's mission to make you smile just so he can see them. There is something just so intimate about how he holds your face.

Lovesick Caius who learns new things just so he can teach you. You mentioned an interest in pottery? He's never done it before because it just wasn't something he wanted to do, but he'll go and take secret classes or teach himself when you're not there just so he can teach you. He would do just about anything - scratch that - he would do absolutely anything to have you look up at him with that impressed admiration. He'd learn a language, skill, or anything you want just for the way you look at him when he offers to help.

Lovesick Caius who would bend over backwards for you, who would go to many lengths to keep you satisfied and smiling. No price is too much for him, money or other, even when you insist you don't need whatever it was. Tickets, jewels, the head of whoever upset you on a silver platter? This vampire really knows no bounds.

Lovesick Caius who loves his down time with you. To be sat in front of a fire in an empty room, you laid on him or vice versa, a wine glass filled with blood in each of your hands (or the best of wines if you are still human). To talk with you, to lay with you, or to have soft and gentle touches shared between you. It's his idea of a perfect time when he is all consumed with quiet and you. Could it get much better than this?

Lovesick Caius who goes on a rampage if there was any harm brought to even a single hair on your head, guard be damned your HIS mate. And especially good luck to whoever it was if they are not a member, they have their death sentence coming. HE genuinely loves you so much and it takes everything in him to not hyperventilate even as a vampire when even the most minor of things happens to you. He physically feels a piece of himself die when you cry.

Society if Seska was obsessed with B'Elanna as well as Chakotay and they tied her betrayal of the Maquis into Tuvok's betrayal of the Maquis and we got to see what B'Elanna & Chakotay's differing feelings on each of those betrayals was. I'm picturing Seska has them captured somewhere and they're trying to get out without resorting to some violence Seska wants them to. (Psychological torture* is a great way to get people on your side, so say the Cardassians). Absolutely no input from the others during their scenes, it's all them. I want to see more of B'Elanna & Chakotay's friendship/backstory as well as their relationships with Seska. What do they think of violence (systematically, in general, as a means to an end)? What counts as violence? What do they think of the Maquis? What are their morals and how do they differ? What do they think of each other? Also in this au Seska 100% offers B'Elanna, in honeyed tones, the chance to reconstruct her face so she looks entirely Human. Wasn't that what you've wanted all your life~? *I imagine that this is a torment, it's unclear whether what they're doing is having any impact on the outside world at all. Is this real? A simulation? Are their sacrifices actually sacrifices? [Tying, perhaps, into the feeling that maybe their time in the Maquis was useless as they were fighting against two different governments and ended up here, essentially forced to be Starfleet. How do they feel about Starfleet? The crew? Why did they choose to be in the Maquis?] <- Ending does not definitively answer these questions but says that if there is hope there's an obligation to fight for it and if there is injustice, violence from a so-called 'higher power', there is an obligation to fight against it. (Star Trek would NEVER allow this 'higher power' to be Starfleet but OH WELL)

This is about to get rambly, but I headcanon that queerness is a completely normal fact of life in Tyria and that no one really bats an eye about whatever floats your boat, be it gender identity or who you want relationships with.

Labels are just vague descriptors for those who want to say “that specific thing” in fewer words. To an average person in Tyria it's like finding out there's a word specifically for “person who eats just vanilla and chocolate ice cream” and just going “oh cool that's me”, but they're rarely used in general conversation unless that becomes the topic of discussion and thus not known by many. Due to it being so normal, there might still be some general genuine ignorance about queer identities one hasn't experienced within their own social bubble, but it's not seen a big deal, while actually "challenging" others' existence is seen as a pretty scummy thing to do.

That said, of course different races and cultures had their own words for certain things and slightly different points of view: charr and asura are more culturally used to temporary/open relationships and even polyamory, due to their societal structure and lack of "marriage" in the human sense of the word; humans and charr are under societal pressure to procreate no matter who you're sharing beds with, because of their wartime circumstances; gender matters little in general, and gender-based discrimination is a thing only in specific instances/communities, usually in more "traditional" settings and often in negative ways, like the Sons of Svanir and the old Flame Legion; humans are the ones who most obsess about marriage, though often for reasons beyond simple romance; norn don't care who wants to smooch/marry who, as long as they're worthy of each other; sylvari are still relatively new to life, so they've been the more open ones so far; etc.

Also also, I headcanon that the Tyria Pride event is a minor festival that originated in Lion's Arch not long after its first reconstruction under Cobiah Marriner.

It's not known how it started exactly, but at first it was just a “let's celebrate different races working together as one" kind of event, rowdy, very pirate-y and held in the taverns and ships across town with little fanfare and plenty of drinking, and it became a recurring thing. Then, smaller celebrations of love started getting lumped in as couples (especially mixed ones, as Lion's Arch was the first place that officially recognized them) chose to get married at the same time of those events, and eventually it evolved and consolidated into an annual event sponsored by the city.

As the event grew in popularity, even non-residents wanted to join the celebrations, but only in recent decades it turned into a march across Tyria. First it started as independent groups in major cities (primarily Rata Sum, Hoelbrak and Divinity's Reach) organized themselves to follow merchant routes towards Lion's Arch, as their journeys evolved into smaller celebrations of their own before the big one at their destination. While unofficial, the numbers of participants in these extra marches swelled each and every year, and eventually they were counted as part of the event by most. Then, after the treaty was stipulated between the Legions and Ebonhawke, a big collective effort was made to connect all of those marches into a single one and extend it so that the event could start in the human city, and it got consolidated after the Pact's victory against Zhaitan proved once more the strength of all races working together.

Tyria Pride is still a minor festival by Tyrian standards, but even if not all can join the weeks of marching and partying across Tyria, it remains the biggest celebration of love in all of its forms and across all barriers.

I hate that whenever there's a gay ship, people immediately het-ify it. people are so obsessed with making one the "man" and one the "woman" when that's completely unnecessary, because they are both the man or the woman. It's extremely annoying. these people will completely mischaracterize a character to fit into their stupid little het roles they force on them.

for example, you don't need to make one man the "wife" and feminized him to the extreme and fit him in a traditional "woman" role so the other man can be the big strong masculine manly man. they can both be masculine or both be feminine or both be both at the same time! they do NOT need to be gendered opposites to fit het roles. crazy, I know! it's like no one considers it a possibility! or sees how good it can be to have them be equals without gendered nonsense.

when there's a gay relationship, you have the perfect opportunity for the couple to stand on equal ground. they get to be equals who are just as strong and just as soft as each other. there's no faulty power dynamics where one is above the other (because let's face it, society unfortunately deems masculinity > femininity). one doesn't need to protect the other. they can protect themsleves, fight aide by side as equals. one doesn't do all the housework. they share that duty equally. one isn't weak and pretty, while they other strong and manly. they both are strong and pretty, or masculine and weak at the same time.

equal relationships are amazing and need to be explored more and appreciated. there can be more understanding and working together. i'm bad at explaining what I mean, but I prefer these equal relationships over forcing them into opposite roles to mirror het relationships, which are usually extremely unbalanced and unequal. especially because these not het relationships! so why must they look like one? they can and should look different! so why does literally every shipper and writer out there make them so het coded?

I don't understand why people do this. do they actually believe all romantic relationships must mimic het ones to exist and thrive and purposely force that on them? or have they genuinely just not fathamed that they can be different and dont need to follow the expected het standards?

I wonder, it feels like no one actually knows how non-het relationships are meant to be and how they could work, since het ones are always forced down our throats since birth. it becomes The Standard that everyone thinks they must follow. maybe it's all people know since they don't see any other possibilities. their preferred dynamics for their ships are what we are taught and nothing different, because they don't know it can be different. i also think people might be obsessed with that whole "opposites attract" trope. but that opposite doesn't have to be the traditional het-fueld feminine vs masculine or wife vs husband characteristics. it can be other personality things like one is loud and one is quiet, one is dumb and one is overly smart, one is rich and one poor, etc. it doesn't have to be masculine vs feminine!

BREAK OUT OF THE HET NORMS!!!!! TEAR DOWN HETERONORMATIVITY!!!!!!!!! FREE THE GAYS

(disclaimer, not saying masculine vs feminine ships are all bad/shouldn't be done ever. but it doesn't need to be 100% of the time either 😅 can't think of one ship people dont do this with lol)

kinda curious how Damian/Javier would be.

shipping bingo

now we're getting into the crack-ish ships! let's see, do i think they would work? well definitely not in canon, but let's thing about a scenario where they do meet.

despite the apparent surface similarities (both being protagonists, orphaned at a young age, prodigies in sword skills at a very young age), they're very different people. javier is loyal to a fault to his lord and despises the idea of helping for money, thinking it's his duty to help selflessly whenever possible even at the risk of his own life and even when it means abandoning his own young master (once he's out of danger tbf). damian on the other hand doesn't initially believe on being loyal for loyalty's sake, has no real interest on being a hero, he's there to do his job and expects to be paid accordingly, although he does take his job very seriously.

but. once you start digging even deeper, you also can start seeing the things they do have in common. like for example, how they both start to thaw to their respective masters once they see them helping others, making it clear how at their core they both feel strongly about helping those in need. how they both hold their duty above almost anything else, reproaching themselves when they perceive they failed to protect those under his care. how once someone gets their loyalty, they get it unconditionally, being willing to follow that person to the end of the wold and back, not even hesitating on giving their life for them if necessary.

so in an scenario where they do meet, i can see them butting heads at the beginning, not really trusting each other as they do not understand where the other is coming from (javier thinking working for money is no real loyalty, damian thinking working out of loyalty holds no real security), but after they start to know each other they could start to see how at their core they're more similar than they thought.

it would take a truly horrendous amount of time to get them to talk to each other tho, they're both drier than a rock when not with their respective isekai'd little guy.

they would put the slow in slow burn to shame. like melting ice glaciers with these two.

send me a ship!
