I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of my otp sharing an extremely meaningful look.

This scene/episode is the moment I sold my soul to Vixenwave.

Meta: Mick and Amaya's relationship

send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on

At first I was wondering how to do this without it bleeding into the meta I wrote about them, and why I ship it. But then it came to me. Yes, it mostly boils down to ‘Why I ship Vixenwave, part 2′, but there’s more to it than just that. Under the cut.

I truly, truly believe that Mick and Amaya love each other. In any and every capacity. They have an understanding between the two of them that I haven’t seen in any other couple in any of the other TV shows I watch-and I watch several. Their willingness to defend and stick by each other, even despite heinous things they’ve done, as well as their unwavering faith and belief in one another

(”Mick, I don’t care what anyone else thinks, I still believe in you.” 

“You’re better than a story, and a hell of a lot more fearsome than some pirate queen. With or without your totem.” 

“Mick, you’re better than this.” 

“She said she could handle it.” 

“You may try to hide it, Mick. But you’re a good man.” 

“Well, we’ve all done things we’re not proud of.”) is absolutely beautiful.

I would even go so far as to say that he loves her more than Nate does. Way more.

His face after she’s frozen by Snart, and then his face after she’s killed by him, are heartbreaking but very telling about his feelings for her. He points his gun at Snart for killing her, and Snart actually looks concerned that Mick will do it. That’s right: For a few tenuous moments, Snart looks like he genuinely believes Mick will kill him for killing Amaya. Mick ultimately doesn’t end up doing so, but he was seriously considering it.

Not to mention that his first reaction after she calls him a bastard for betraying the Legends isn’t anger, or even hurt. His immediate first reaction after she says that is to look her specifically dead in the eyes and say “Come with me.”. Despite the other three members of the Legion of Doom standing right behind him, he doesn’t say “Come with us.”

He says “Come with me.”, sounding softer than I’ve ever heard him speak.

And for a sliver of a moment, Amaya looks like she’s actually considering it.

In Season 3, Nate’s attempt to snap Mick out of his catatonic state after meeting his father in Vietnam is three simple words: “Amaya’s in there”.

She’s the one who can pull him back from the brink, as she proves several times throughout her run on the show. And she’s also the only one he doesn’t consistently call by a nickname. Sure, there was ‘girly’ for about five minutes in episode 3 of season 2, but that doesn’t really count.

I’m going to end this by saying I will forever be gutted that we didn’t get a Mick/Amaya goodbye scene in 3x18. He’s the one who deserved the goodbye with her, not Nate.

And with that, I’m off to bed. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

//This is Mick’s face immediately after Amaya is frozen by Snart’s cold gun.

I will literally fight anyone who tries to tell me he doesn’t love her, at least in some capacity.
