Trope Months – January – Forced Proximity

Any pairing (doesn’t have to be the pairing of the month).

Alternate Universes (AU) very welcome.

All casual, no signups, participate at will. Start posting at midnight in your time zone. Tag your stuff #indy forced proximity so we can all see them.

Nothing is off limits, even dark and dead dove is acceptable. Just tag appropriately so people can avoid it if it’s not their thing. NO SHAMING!

Longer fanfics and Ao3 links welcome, even if they’re not finished within the month.

Look for a new poll around the 15th to pick the trope for February

What is Forced Proximity?

Anything that traps your characters in a space together with no easy way out or otherwise forces them to spend a lot of time together..

Examples:

Escape rooms

Stopped elevator

Locked in a closet/room

Weather/environment outside is too nasty for them to leave

One is the bodyguard/personal assistant/tutor/trainer for the other

Mutual goal that cannot be reached without working together

Sitting next to each other on a delayed plane

live-in servants at the same lavish estate (especially in a historical setting)

the only two employees on the night shift

stranded on a deserted island

On the darker side

Kidnapping

Good lord i love CCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The symbolism of everything put in by Chonny is just. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAarthheahagjg... I might do a more coherent post on CCCC later but for now.

I didn't think when I listened to it for the first time that I would fall in love with the little passion project like I did. It means a lot to me because of the mental health topics within it, and it's story is so good. It's a proper story but it also shows the aspects of what exactly can happen when you're struggling with mental health. In some ways, sometimes your brain kinda feels like it's fighting against itself, just like with Heart, Mind and Soul fighting.

oh the weather outside is frightful?

[melancholyfleurs]

something so deeply erotic about laying in between someone’s legs after you’ve gone down and licking your fingers off to taste every last drop in between little kisses to their trembling thighs, hips and tummy… yeah

there's so many moments from this finale that i absolutely adored but what i love and will never shut up about when it comes to midnight burger is the ability to put feelings we've all felt before in such simple and yet beautiful words it never feels overdone or cliché. this whole episode felt like the biggest hug

[theone-whocamebeforeallelse]

I just can't get these stupid-ass scenarios out of my head with Tenya & Tensei and Tensei's hero friends, said friends being Kayama.Nemuri, Aizawa Shouta, Yamada Hizashi (Oboro Shirakumo died before Tenya could even remember him, after all).

I constantly have these visions of them being a bunch of chaotic ass young adults, fresh sidekicks, messy asf somewhere in their twenties, and poor Tenya growing up around them.

7 y/o Tenya, pouting: "Shouta, Tensei and Nemuri say you need to 'get laid, preferably by Hizashi', and that they should 'set you up'. What does that mean? They won't tell me"

Shouta, 22, gay and miserable, does indeed need to get laid and preferably by Hizashi, to tired to deal with this: "It means that Tenya and Nemuri think that Hizashi and I need to hang out more."

Tenya simply nods sagely and walks away, planning to inform Hizashi of this, unbeknownst to Shouta, of course.

I'm a lil confused, which line exactly did they confirm that the midnight creature causes you to kill other people?

I understand that the doctor suggested aliss's deafness made her immune to whatever the creature was saying (I understood this more as her being immune to becoming full on possessed a la midnight but idk), but Belinda didnt seem to have any murderous urges when it attached to her and neither did mo at the end? also why would the creature force you to physically kill ppl when it was having more fun inciting paranoia to get people to kill eachother and using the "behind you" gambit thing to kill people itself?

idk maybe I'm misreading things, there was a lot of confusion in ep for me over the exact rules the creature was following, esp wrt the switcharoo at the end. much to think about.......

yeah the episode says that everyone on the base went crazy, with aliss being the only one unaffected by this since she can't hear it; my understanding is that, rather than the uninfected people ganging up and killing the infected one out of paranoia and becoming infected themselves (rinse and repeat), the infected person (like her friend) became violent in some way and started trying to kill each other, and the reason she isn't also behaving this way is because it thralls people verbally:

but then they also repeatedly suggest that everyone was murdered out of paranoia over seeing the parasite until only aliss was left, as we both understood the premise:

(side note, I'm actually not sure of the significance of the half broken/half shot thing - they play it like a twist, but I can't really conceptualize the specifics of what happened at the mine before the soldiers showed up? I think maybe they wanted to have that beat where it gets killed by its reflection but in getting there lost a bit of clarity)

It's all pretty rough; the immunity aspect really moves it from 'they killed each other one by one out of fear to try to off the creature until it was just aliss left' to something I don't think really coheres together. I do strongly suspect the whispering was probably a messy last minute rewrite after the actress was cast to incorporate the character's deafness in the plot in some way, hence why it doesn't actually show up in the episode wrt belinda and mo (it's possible that this replaced some other immunity in an earlier script, but it seems more likely to me that this aspect simply just didn't exist at first and she was meant to be alive just because she was the last one left, as she directly says) And yeah I'm pretty positive something in the switcharoo ending got changed and that's why it feels kind of confusing/the rules of the creature are a bit different out of nowhere. Who knows what lol, I think they probably initially wanted a reveal that the captain jumping down the well was all for naught because it never left aliss at all and wasn't even in the room during the episode's climax; there's even a punchy shot specifically showing that there's 4 individuals on the lift (despite there only being 3)

I'm dragging my feet, but I'm still alive.

I'll snarl at every insult and bite the hand that takes.

I will keep fighting.

God, I will keep fighting.

For myself,

My future,

My friends' future,

For all the children born before or after me.

For the ones in far smaller minorities than me.

I will keep fighting.

I will not keep silent.

I WILL STAY ALIVE.

happy fucking 2025. keep fighting, even if you're just embers.

For anyone who argues that Chaol is not the most relatable character, during the entire duration of Tower of Dawn, I, too, wondered what Dorian was up to.

WAHHHHH I LOVE HOW YOU DRAW TANGO

Tangotangotangotangotango

Could you draw our favorite little wet cat man with eyeliner🥺

(/nf ofc <3)

see this started out as just him with eyeliner but then he became secret life tango. i would say im sorry but im really not i mean look at him

[bookworm-blogs]

You know what? No. In my mind, Shigaraki dying is NOT canon. He was turned back into a child by Eri, and now he’s living happily and comfortably with Kurogiri as his proper adoptive father alongside Spinner (who was also rewound back into a child because 1. Spinneraki, and 2. He deserves a happy and loving childhood) and Toga (who is NOT DEAD and was ALSO adopted by Kurogiri). In my heart, these three gremlins are siblings now, they’re living somewhere remote for a fresh start, and Mr. Compress and Kurogiri are dating idk but ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN WHAT WE GOT

“Make yourself a home among people.”

This line is hitting me more on this relisten than before for some reason. I’ve relistened to the mbcu (Midnight Burger Cinematic Universe) almost perpetually since January, and I hear things in different ways every time. Maybe some day I’ll actually take notes like I keep meaning to, organize my thoughts more than just a random tumblr post here and there.

[marciaillust]

oh boy i did not start this year on a good note, 4 days in and im a ghost on my dead tired legs begging for rest
