May time! May is time for friends. They take their group of friends to the lake - anyone who was free to go - and then those who couldn’t too. They can be very persistent together if they want to. They rent a small cottage and have a tent pulled up (Keith and Lance get kicked out to the tent on the first night, it’s a given). They spend time swimming, laughing, accidentally setting things on fire and Keith and Lance end up trying to one up each other in who can breakdance better on the grass (none of them, they just start flirting).

At the end of the day Hunk is the last one to tell them goodnight, but they would still sit around engrossed in each other, cooing like a newlywed couple.

Pidge walks out of the cottage to remind them to keep it quiet at night. Keith and Lance start laughing, until Shiro adds it’s not a suggestion. Then they laugh so hard, they end up dragging one another away from the house.

ok I’ve been sucked into The Ultimatum: Queer Love on Netflix and just…

Steve is in a relationship where he clearly wants more than the other person. He and his partner have been together for three years and it’s reached the point where Steve has told him, “marry me or I have to go.” The dude is some kind of wannabe Instagram model, so he jumps at the chance to do reality tv.

Eddie’s on the opposite end of the negotiations. He loves his partner, but he’s not sure he really believes in the institution of marriage.

Both couples decide to try this new reality show.

Steve and Eddie clearly catch each other’s eyes on the first night, the camera catching both of them staring at each other between all the couples introducing themselves. They don’t get much time to speak that first night, but that’s okay. They’ve got plenty of time to say hi during the speed dating round.

Except that once they meet, they don’t want to talk to anyone else. Eddie is practically dragged away by producers so that he’s forced to talk to the others. The camera doesn’t miss the longing looks they send each other, though.

After that second episode, they’re immediately fan favorites. The chemistry between them is palpable even through the screen. Everyone’s just waiting for them to choose each other at the selection dinner.

And of course they do, as both their partners sit next to them rolling their eyes. They go to bed the first night of their trial marriage wrapped around each other, whispering and giggling. The mics can’t exactly pick up what they’re saying, but the cameras catch their smiles and the way their fingers intertwine between them above the comforter.

The audience loves watching the two of them fall in love over the next three weeks of their trial marriage. They’re sweet to each other, clearly thinking about each other’s needs and checking in when things seem hard. They meet each other’s friends. When Eddie meets Steve’s best friend, Robin, it’s like the three of them have known each other for years. When Eddie sneaks off to the bathroom, leaving Steve and Robin alone at the restaurant table, Robin takes the moment alone to give Steve her stamp of approval on Eddie.

After the three weeks are up, they’re supposed to go into a trial marriage with their original partners. The audience doesn’t see this, but Eddie and Steve try to refuse. They know what they want and it’s each other. They’ve made their decisions. But the producers remind them that they’ve signed contracts and they have to see the process through to the end.

They’re both uninterested in their partners. It’s clear that neither original relationship was the right fit now. It’s clear even to their original partners. They’re not even really doing a trial marriage; they’re all just roommates trying to make it through to the end.

When Steve and Eddie are finally reunited at the final selection, to no one’s surprise, they choose each other. There’s no hesitation on either side. They want each other. They’re both sure.

They’re married within the year and their wedding is filmed by Netflix. For the next season of the show, Steve and Eddie host. Ten seasons in, they’re still as in love as ever and, unfortunately for Netflix, the show’s one and only success story.

[aroaceleovaldez]

the discord brainstormed a "HoO plot but better" au where it's more focused on being the Gigantomachy + The Odyssey (like how the first series was primarily the Titantomachy + The Iliad, particularly TLO) rather than the awkward Gigantomachy + 7 Against Thebes + Argonauts juggling, and i literally have not stopped thinking about it since. someone remind me to explain it at some point because i'm obsessed with it. it's just extremely fun.

I swear I unintentionally shift to Dazai's pov sometimes because why did I just vividly visualise Chuuya standing in the middle of a vineyard, smiling brighter than the sun and literally giggled to myself

Felt happy with my THSC OC x TNO crossover project so much that I decided to draw a second batch of different oc's in different themes and scenarios as TNO characters.

("TW": Depiction of "Nazis" and presence of Nazi stuff for some artwork cause the mod is literally an alternative history scenario where the Axis Powers won WW2. This apply differently depending on the context of the theme.)

Just the thought of a wedding between Vasco and Machete is mind-numbingly sweet. They deserve the best one possible.

I think about modern au sometimes. But not even modern, more like y2k 2002 Europe au

Anyways regardless of the time period I have thoughts about cars. Coz I think someone's car is just SO indicative of personality. Unfortunately, I'm not sure about Judit (it's probably just a car:tm:?) but for the men I have

This type of shit for Harry. Car that's way too small for him, second hand cheap, still going despite all the shit he's put it through. Whatever time period this au takes place in, Harry's car is at LEAST twenty years old (not vintage though. it's just old enough to be uncool). It's an absolute trash pile on the inside. It's got carpeted interiors, and it has that dirty car smell (kinda' smells like dirty dog and dirt). there is some kind of sickly sweet bubblegum car air freshener in there. He cannot keep it clean for the life of him. The speakers rattle. It only uses CDs if it's modern 2020s age. He drives erratically, like he's driving according to a set of Harry-road-rules, and always knows exactly what to get away with and when. He's a boss at finding parking. He knows every single place in the city to park, and he knows how to work the payed spots to not pay, etc. He's obsessed with it and if anyone tries to get him a different one he gets so upset about it. He tends to forget to take it in to get checked and then gets worked up about it, so recently he sets alarms to remember that haha. the car is kinda' as fucked as harry is, but it keeps trucking and keeps trying, just like harry

this pic is of Saul's car from Better Call Saul / Breaking Bad

Jean has a black secondhand Audi s8 (he does Not have the salary for it to be anything but secondhand). Basically he has an imposing, government looking vehicle. If he was in the USA and not in small tiny European streets and ex-bomb shelter parking garages a la Germany, he'd have an SUV. As is, this is still a horrendously large vehicle, and he often parks it in the worst places possible. He prefers to park on the sidewalk, for example. No parking space? No problem. He makes it work. He tries to keep the car clean to maintain his professional exterior but it's kinda dirty on the inside anyways. Crumbs and trash and the like. Sticky. It's leather on the inside at least. He cleans it if he knows someone's going to ride with him but sometimes it kinda falls apart. So it's like it has this veneer of luxury but then if you look closer it's not. Smells like cigarette smoke and cologne-adjacent car air freshener. He drives aggressively as fuck, always switching lanes, following the ambulance to get past traffic, speeding up when he sees a yellow light, barely stopping at stop signs, etc. He also gets horrendous road rage. The vehicle has a few scrapes. He takes care of it, though. Makes sure it gets all its visits to the car vet and is surprisingly knowledgeable about its issues

2002 and 2020 versions respectively

Kim's car is immaculate. He drives a Volkswagen GTI R, like top of the line European sports car right here. He likes color, so he'll allow himself to drive a red car. I drive this car (it's my parents car), and the handling is super tight and super responsive and it's a beast on the road. Like you really feel strapped into a Machine and you trust it to hell and back. As German cars go, it's hard to upkeep it without taking it into the shop, and it might require some special care. I just think Kim would have a very sports car, but not a typical one, and not at all modified (except for the speakers. He gets the car with the speakers that have a subwoofer in the back). He saved up for this. He keeps his car super clean, it's got leather interiors, and he is Super strict about it. You can't eat or drink anything but water there. No smoking. Don't touch the windows or I'll make you clean them, etc. No car air freshener. He polishes this thing. He also does work on it himself instead of taking it to the mechanic. It's a Really Healthy Car. He also talks to it. He drives faster than speedlimit sometimes. Like he'll drive really well, according to road laws, but sometimes he'll take risks. He plays the 'i'm a cop' card if he gets caught

2002 and 2019 respectively
