NOTES: Hope you enjoy! (gotta put the notes here cause tumblr keeps deleting my shit!)
Tumblr media
A = Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
He enjoys indulging in softer things with you once you've reached that stage (sleeping snuggled together, reading together, coming up with new strategies.) All that stuff.
He’ll also train you (if you don’t have the skills already) and sparr with you regularly. You tend to be on the move a fair bit too, so road-trip shenanigans will ensue and you will piss each other off somehow.
B = Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
He inherently finds you attractive if he gives you more than a second glance period, but competence is something he finds most attractive in general. Any one who can hold their own in a fight or prove themselves resourceful and able to keep their cool during conflict is going to peak his curiosity.
Whether he becomes romantically interested in you outside of your initial appeal depends on your personality out of battle.
C = Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
Not well. Eric is not good at emotions that inherently have to do with vulnerability. At first he’s likely to ignore you or tell you to get your head on straight or some shit so he won’t be much help.
Now if you're having something like a panic attack or if you’ve gone hysterical or something he won’t just leave you out to dry. He’ll be gruff and awkward about it but he’ll put in some effort to calm you down. Stressing that he’s got your back will definitely be his go to, but explaining the logistics of your situation will also be something he gravitates towards: how far off the grid you are, the uv lights littering the hideout, etc.
D = Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
On principle Eric doesn’t let himself get distracted by whimsical thoughts like that. He’s fighting a seemingly endless war and thinking about a future that likely won’t happen and won't do anything but get him killed is useless in his opinion.
In general Eric just cherishes the time he does have with you. At most when you're resting and he has the chance to just hold you he’ll think about staying with you like this forever. Not being in danger ever again, not the vampiric kind at least.
E = Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
Eric’s the dominant one, no argument. Both his personality and profession don’t allow him comfort in not being in explicit control of his situation.
That being said, if he trusts you he will allocate some of the responsibility to you. You’re his partner in and off the field and likely have a dominant personality as well that compliments his own. You’re two different types of dominant and balance one another out.
F = Flight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
No. It doesn’t even matter if it’s a small thing that’s not even really a secret but just personal, he’ll be in his feelings about it.
Earning his trust is no easy feat and anytime you break it Eric will take it personally, but smaller offenses he will undoubtedly get over himself about eventually.
Now anything big is a whole other story. You're secretly a mole? He’ll kill you and it’ll be vicious even if a part of him will always mourn what you once had.
G = Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
Eric is big headed. Without active prompting from someone else, like Whistler, or the sudden absence of your help he’ll mostly overlook your contributions.
It’d have to take something/someone shoving how good you are for him in his face for him to appreciate you outside of grunts of thanks and rushed requests.
Even romantically he’ll insist he doesn’t need you, that he’s not attached. It pisses you off like nothing else and his denial will grate on you to the point of an argument at some point. He’ll have to be honest with himself eventually though, and do a hell of a lot to make it up to you and show you that he values your relationship too.
H = Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
He inherently doesn’t like telling anyone about his mother and her death and so finding out about that will take him being real comfortable with his s/o. His mother having been turned successfully, not being dead, and leaving him out to dry as a kid/trying to kill him will be a secret he keeps even closer to his chest.
Other than that he’ll hide small things from you if he feels he can handle a situation on his own. Things like if someone is following you or he was confronted by an enemy are things that will only come out if his leg is pulled.
I = Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helping them overcome personal problems?
100% Eric is way more personable with you in his life. Doesn’t matter if you’ve also got a gruff personality, the fact that he’s talking to someone else positively at all is enough to improve his communication skills.
Him loving you and being able to admit that is also a way you change him. He becomes way better at handling intimacy with you at his side.
If you’re less battle oriented or meek he’ll help with that definitely. At first he’s too forceful but eventually he’ll get the gist of teaching you with things like positive reassurance and cooperation.
J = Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
Eric is more possessive than he is jealous. He’s used to the good things in his life being taken away from him and is very protective of you.
He doesn’t get jealous mostly because he’d have to think anyone could be better than him at something, for starters, and jealousy can’t happen at all unless you manage to form a close personal connection with someone else.
Even then once he’s learned to trust you at your own reassurance he’ll take you at your word completely that you only have eyes for him.

Hey y’all, sorry for the long hiatus. 2022 was a hellish year for me. But towards the end a lot of good things happened as well. I got married in October, started a new job the same month and been trying to keep my house clean, working out, keeping my budget in check and just overall been having a LOT of writers block. But I’ve been squeezing writing at least a few days a week, but now all that’s mostly calmed down, my goal is to finish The Things You Give. I hope I didn’t lose any followers. Your love for the story makes my heart so full. I really am working on it, just trying to get past a certain part before I can get to the other parts I wanna write. I promise it’ll be out very very soon! Thank you for all the love, I love y’all more than I can describe. Happy New Year my loves! May 2023 treat you right and help all your dreams come true! ❤️ btw are you excited for That 90s Show? Because I am!!! I hope they do it justice!

okay listen Aziraphale has basically NOTHING in common with Elle Woods aesthetically but besides that minor detail a Legally Blonde (specifically: The Musical au) would be PERFECT for Good Omens/Ineffable Husbands????
And I wanna make a distinction right off the bat - if we went by the movie, Crowley would proooobably be the only one who really fits Elle because she's the only one with a real fish out of water narrative. HOWEVER. Musical!Elle is more overtly like... fish out of water but still with some safety nets (ha) to fall back on, which are highlighted within the story. And meanwhile Emmett gets his own fish out of water story with the specific focus on his comparatively underprivileged background, and when you put those two together, Crowley feels a lot more Emmett to me.
Like, Aziraphale has the two key Elle qualities of a) lots of shit going unexamined because he's never truly lacked power/privilege before, and b) belligerent determination to do the right thing even when people are telling him it will cause him personal detriment. Crowley's whole dynamic with Aziraphale in the Job and Resurrectionist minisodes is basically just Emmett in Chip On My Shoulder if you swap 'navigating the heaven/hell dichotomy' with 'navigating law school.' GABRIEL IS A DEAD RINGER FOR WARNER. THE METATRON WOULD BE CALLAHAN. Serious and Blood In The Water fit them both so well post-s2 I'm just [clutches face] (the reprise for Serious is probably even more fitting for Gabriel than the initial version tbh).
Also, What You Want is just concentrated Aziraphale energy imo - "So! I will get into Harvard, impress Gabriel, win him back, and then marry him! Wait, you really think I need more of a plan than that? Can't I just... charge ahead and do it anyway?" In some ways I think I like this AU because it's effectively Aziraphale walking up to Crowley and going 'god says it's MY turn to be the absolute hot mess'
Beelzebub can a) be Vivian and b) stay together with Gabriel at the end, as a treat for Gabriel (Gabriel still drops out to become a model). This is partly because I find the idea of Beelzebub becoming Aziraphale's personal cheerleader towards the end fuckin delightful. The Brooke thing feels like it would take some finagling but I am confident it can be wrangled into a good shape with the right choice of characters (Harriet Dowling is legitimately a frontrunner right now but I think that could very easily change).
I can think of multiple directions in which to approach the Paulette and Kyle subplot, and honestly multiple couples who would fit if you changed up the surrounding circumstances a bit? I like the idea of Nina and Maggie in a very drifted version, maybe where they both still own their canon businesses, because then TECHNICALLY Nina as the one with the horrible ex would be Paulette, and it would be fun to switch around who is hopelessly pining after who!!
I am also playing around with Delta Nu roles BUT I know in my soul that Muriel is Margot if only because then they get her line like "Keep it positiiiiiive~ As you slap [them] to the floor! :D" Please take a moment to imagine Muriel singing that in full earnestness, it's a delight.
(And having decided this I kind of want the frat boys from the bit in What You Want to just be like... multiple Erics).
These are the edges of the idea, where stitching it together into something coherent starts to get a bit shaky, but at its core is Ineffable Husbands content along such lines as!
Crowley getting Emmett's little moment of delight at the end of Chip On My Shoulder when Aziraphale makes his first successful argument in class! ('Fell' rhymes with 'Elle' we can get some scansion going here with 'little Miss Woods comma Elle' I know it)
For that matter, the "Where are your law books?" bit in Chip On My Shoulder would be extremely funny if Aziraphale's dorm room is just the bookshop in miniature, and then still under all of that the textbooks are plastic wrapped and completely buried and unread becase they simply do not interest him the way an antique bible does.
Aziraphale in the playboy bunny costume and Crowley doing the "What's up?" [excruciating pause] "... Doc?"
The proposal right at the end where Crowley gets the repeated little 'oh my god's!
So many things about Take It Like A Man!
"Swallow your pride for me, just nod yes" is just such an Aziraphale @ Crowley line, generally.
THE CHORUS "Here you'll become what you're supposed to be/You think you can't but you can/Think of the guy you want most to be/Here's your chance to make it..." I will FIGHT people on how much this fits, Aziraphale has always wanted Crowley to have a place where he can inhabit the wants-to-do-good parts of his personality without fear or punishment, which Crowley is convinced he cannot have. This is the same idea!! (And in this AU, a more seamless role in the establishment is... legitimately the best that Aziraphale has the power to offer Crowley, tbh).
"Why can I never say no to her?" is basically just Crowley's canon inner monologue, c'mon.
"That's the best part/The outside is new/But now it reflects what's already in you/Couldn't change that if I wanted to" Again, I am prepared to Fight about this being a brilliant fit.
And then finally with this song, "Don't watch me change!" would have added embarrassed Crowley Noises which is wonderful to think about.
AND!!! The part of this whole stupid concept that so deeply compels me!!!!!
The duet part of the title song from either side of the door!!
"What about love/I never mentioned love/The timing's bad I know/But perhaps if I'd made it more clear/That you belong right here/You wouldn't have to go/Cause you'd know that I'm so much in love"-
AND
"We both know you're worth so much more"
AND
"If you can hear, can I just say/How much I want you to stay"|"It's not up to me..."
AND
[in chorus] "You are the best thing about this place-"
I am going to be thinking about this last one for days.

What kind of lives do you think Eric and Dylan would have lead had they not committed the massacre?
Dylan was depressed, would he have ever sought help or ended his life regardless?
Eric was banking on the marines but couldn’t join because of his medication. Would he have found something else had he not given in to hate?
Pardon all my rambles! You’re my favorite tcc, Columbine specific blog.
aww thank you!! i am honored to be on the list of favorites!
i think about this sometimes. the optimistic part of me thinks that if dylan didn’t eventually kill himself (i feel like there was a solid change he was going to do that no matter what), he would’ve really enjoyed working with computers and technology. i am reminded of brooks, who has jumped around in software-based jobs over the years. brooks’s brother became an audio engineer, and zack became the ceo of an IT management company. i reference them because we can kind of use them as springboards for imagining dylan’s trajectory. maybe him and zack would’ve gone into business together? dylan probably would’ve gotten into software engineering or maybe he would’ve been the manager of a best buy lol. the fact that he was gunning (no pun intended) for a college education put him ahead of byron already.
like i said, i do feel that dylan was probably always going to be destined for suicide because there just were no resources around him to prevent him from doing so. maybe he would’ve thrived and enjoyed being at college enough that he wouldn’t, but it’s really hard to say. he was pretty deep down the rabbit hole. it’s sad, there was nobody looking out for either of them.
for eric — i genuinely don’t know this, but can you even join the reserves if you take SSRIs? or is it all just strictly a no-go? i often see people speculating that he would’ve gone on to design video games. i think the passion was definitely there for him, but even he didn’t really know where he wanted to end up. he wasn’t super interested in college and, when he did mention it, he was pretty casually mentioning just going to community college. realistically, he’d probably be working in the trades. he probably could’ve been good at sales, so maybe he’d be a car salesman or maybe he’d be selling software. in 2024, maybe he’d be doing a WFH technical support job. i feel like those are reasonably realistic options.
i don’t know if dylan would have ever been interested in parenthood, but i think eric could have been. you never know tho, some of the weirdest, shittest dudes end up being someone’s baby daddy lol
what do you think? where do you think their lives would have gone?

If you ever watch the movie *A bugs life* I can’t help but headcanon Lich’s voice as Hopper cuz he’s a bully and a boss man.😅 especially the last scene where the ants finally are fed up with him and face him for being a tyrant that he is.
That's awesome you have a voice you can hear for Lich. I haven't watched a Bugs Life in a long time, but I liked the movie as a little kid. I can see the parallels with the characters.
Originally, when I first came up with the concept of Lich's character (Can’t even remember what I originally named him. Maybe it was the same name. Can’t remember. Wow…
Either way, Lich's original backstory/ role in a fanfic [I won't name because I wrote it in middle school and it was AWFUL], was very different from what it is now. The plot of the fuc was a ripoff of the movie ,“Heavy Metal” so Ronnie James Dio or Alice Cooper were the two voices I usually associated him with. "The Mob Rules" and "The Black Widdow" are Lich's theme songs.
BUT Kevin Spacey's voice fits Lich very well, now that you pointed it out.
He is oozing with Hopper vibes.
If I had an obscene amount of money to spend, I would hire these voice actors/actresses/ singers (resurrect them from the grave if necessary) to play my ocs and/or Characters from Invader Zim that never officially were assigned hired voice actors.
At least most of my Irken ocs have voices picked out.
Pepperoncini: Sir Christopher Lee (?) Earle Hyman (?) Even those two would have to pitch their voices lower and more gravely. Cini's voice, especially in his later years, is very, VERY deep and ravaged by centuries of smoking pipe amber. I guess the contrast in his bright, lighthearted, bubbly personality amuses me.
I can’t think of a voice that perfectly matches the voice Cini has in my head. Any suggestions would be welcome.
I loosely based his personality on Phyllis Diller and Vincent Price, to give an idea of his mannerisms.
Spinch: Martha Kelly (so shy)
Hoola: Eric Bauza (His personality is based on Daffy Duck, though lacking in WB toon antics and the lisp.)
Mem: Bette Midler (first choice), possibly Kathy Bates or Meryl Streep
Some of Mem's swarm I have casted
Handoverfist aka Hof: Eugene Mirman
Ferocity: Betsy Sodaro
Skathe: Jenny Slate
Starboard: John Fiedler
Zee: Jillian Bell
Rook/ the Sage: Originally I imagined John Cleese playing Rook, at least in Rook's older years (because he was based on the Monty Python’s Holy Grail Tim the Enchanter) or Suzy Izzard.
But again, now that you pointed out the parallels, David Foley fits pretty well too.
Miyuki: I'm sure plenty of people would disagree with me, but I think Cher (or at least a younger Cher), Lynne Lipton (again, younger), or Cree Summer would make great choices for Miyuki.
Kii: Can't get Melissa Fahn's voice out of my head for her, but any suggestions are welcome. Maybe Doro Pesch.
Soxx: Percy Rodriguez (would have to bring him back from the dead)
Hitz: Richard Romanus
Spork: Lorenzo Music (I just do)
Commander Poki: Brooke Dillman (I love that woman's voice. Boss as shit.)
Frylady Soo-Garr: Kristin Chenoweth or Grey DeLisle. Either. Either or would pull off her vindictive personality perfectly.
Pielord Emis-Gee: Ron Funches
Brewmaster Shakkin: Christopher McCulloch
Yeet: Hong Chau (so spunky!)
Vroog: Billie Mae Richards or Maria Bamford for a living person to play her.
Irken Gir would be played by Rosearik Rikki Simons, just no synthesizers or anything.
This is not a complete list by far. If you’re curious about any of ocs that I didn’t list, you can ask about or make suggestions.
Hearing the voices helps develop the character for me

Candace was born Stefanie Karlsson, daughter of Eric and Caroline Karlsson — a middle-class immigrant couple who moved from their hometown of Västerås, Sweden to Brooklyn, New York when Candace was only three years old. They lived a simple life until Candace was five years old, and her father, Eric, died on site of a horrific and tragic car accident. Candace was eleven by the time her mother met Peter Brooks, the man who was to be her second husband. Though he seemed perfect on paper, there was always something off about him. His more sinister side eventually showed itself later on when their mother was caught in a drive-by shooting that left her paralysed. As soon as Candace turned sixteen, she filed for emancipation from Peter who spent more time in bars than by his wife's side. Secretly resorting to sex work, it was the only way she could afford her mother's hospital bills on top of everything else. But by the time her mother passed, Candace was already too deep into the world of drugs and sex to quit. Finding herself in more trouble than she could've ever imagined, she was seconds away from death if it wasn't for the help of an unlikely hero.

Here's a reintroduction to the concept of Poems For Ivy, since it's been literal years since I first posted about it and I doubt anyone really remembers. Plus, it's changed a bit since the first idea.
Poems For Ivy 1980 (post season 8), Jackie breaks up with Fez on Valentine's Day. This leads to her and Hyde having a one-night stand, which results in pregnancy. Jackie, having been hurt by Hyde too many times in the past, does not trust him to raise this child with her. The story follows Hyde's journey to becoming a better person and a decent father for his daughter, Ivy.
Season 8 is canon in this story (unfortunately) and it is a combination of a lot of ideas I have for what the gang's future would look like after that. Not a lot of Kelso and Fez because I tell this from Hyde and Jackie's POVs and neither of them really stay close with Kelso and Fez. But off-screen, Kelso is raising Betsy with Brooke and Fez is doing whatever you imagine him to be doing. Eric is back from Africa pretty early on in the story, and he and Donna are big parts of the story. Though they won't be dating for most of that time.
If you have any questions about the story, the characters, what direction I'm going with it, please ask!

Could you also do Enneagram matches for T7S?
Yeah, I could make it an ask game, but there are no:
Fours. 5w4s. 3w4s. And probably, no 2w3s. And fours are fairly common on Tumblr (and so are fives, I'd imagine).
Ones: There might be one, Brooke. Not sure if she's a one or a five.
Twos: One.
Three: One.
Fives: One or two. See above.
Sixes: Two.
Sevens: Three.
Eights: A minor character is an 8w7. A main is an 8w9.
Nine: Two.
You want me to just wing it?
*****
Notes:
1. I don't really get how Eric is consistently typed as a 6w7. He's way too introverted to have a seven wing.
2. Leo is probably a seven or a nine, but who knows, man?

Do you think the gang ever did other drugs than just weed, for example LSD or mushrooms? It would make sense given the time period and also the hallucinations they sometimes had after the circle makes no sense if it was just weed.
I don't think they did, and different strains of pot are more hallucinogenic than others. Under certain circumstances or stressors, however, some of the characters might try a psychogenic substance.
Hyde might try shrooms, but he's got the alcoholic tendencies of his parents (Edna and Bud) and is more likely to go down road. Once he's with Jackie romantically, though, he's "less pissed-off enough" not to be drug-seeking / experimenting beyond what he's used to.
In "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" (S7), he smokes so much pot that it makes him (temporarily) hate the circle. My interpretation / headcanon is that he likes his high at the height of his cheeks, not over his head. That being said, I can see him discovering this fact by dropping acid or taking shrooms with Leo and having a bad trip.
("Why can't Hyde have a good trip?" some may ask. With his unhealed childhood trauma and emotional wounds present and active, I don't believe he would. This is different than the breakthroughs happening now with psychogenic use in psychology for patients with PTSD, which have been a miracle for people who have gotten the treatment.)
Donna might try hallucinogenics under a specific circumstance. During her season four coping-with-grief / self-destructive phase, if Casey or Max (from WFPP Radio) offered her a tab or some shrooms, she might accept -- hoping it would distract her from the great emotional suffering she's experiencing.
In S1-S2, Donna wants to enjoy all the stops on the sexual experience train with Eric and, thus, go slowly rather than jump from kissing to intercourse. In S4, she would have sex with "anyone" to alleviate her grief (in "The Relapse," her own admission). Donna is in such a dire emotional state that it supercedes major parts of her core self and leads to behaviors she otherwise wouldn't do. This is a relatively common phenomenon in people going through trauma, especially teens.
Kelso, pre-Brooke, would try a psychogenic substance if his friends were doing it (hopefully they'd have a sober sitter present in case someone has a bad trip).
Eric might if Donna was into trying it and he wanted to impress her. Otherwise, I don't think he'd be interested. But, really, he'd probably do his best to talk her out of it.
Jackie and Fez -- no. Fez would've heard stories of bad trips that scare him off, and he's not the type anyway. Smoking pot seems more of a fit-in-with / hang-out-with friends deal for him. He wouldn't feel the need for a more intense experience.
Jackie simply wouldn't be interested. (Her imagination is vivid -- and sometimes delusional -- enough without help. 😂)
Ultimately, I don't believe any of the main T7S teens would be into more than pot. LSD opening the doors of perception ... they're good with how open their doors are. 😄
This answer is based on my understanding of the characters. Other interpretations are valid. ✌️

Hiya, Poorni ❤️! For this ask game, a character of your choosing from That '70s Show? I would have gone with That '90s Show, but we don't have that many characters without diving into our own fanfictions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eric/Buddy - best Eric ship fr
2. Eric/Jackie - enemies to lovers excellence
3. Eric/Donna - heart of the show
4. Eric/Connie - they were so cute
5. Eric/Chloe - I wish they were shown onscreen
6. Eric/Mitch - enemies to bfs supremacy
7. Eric/Leslie - them as his Donna/Casey would've been interesting to watch
8. Eric/Katie - I don't remember them
9. Eric/Kate - he was 17 and she was like 20
10. Eric/Pam - just ew
Tumblr media
Eric/Donna - her best relationship
2. Donna/Jackie - enemies to gfs excellence
3. Donna/Raquel - the wlw Beric all I've gotta say
4. Donna/Brooke - they'd be a cute couple honestly. Imagine them raising Leia, Jay, & Betsy under the same roof
5. Donna/Independence - her remaining single at the end of the series would've been nice
6. Donna/Randy - irrelevant but a love a pan4pan couple
7. Donna/Hyde - ignoring early s1, I still prefer them being purely platonic
8. Donna/Mitch - flop shit
9. Donna/Kelso & Donna/Fez - ew
10. Donna/Casey - she was 17 and he was 21
Tumblr media
Laurie/OC - In my verse, she ends up with one my ocs (Paula), who is almost identical to her.
Laurie/Jackie - When Jackie's in her 20s, I feel they'd work. I love an enemies to lovers pairing.
Laurie/Fez - They were cute, but Fez being 17 and Laurie being 20 was icky. If Fez was 18, I would've shipped them more.
Laurie/Donna - I mean I don't hate the idea of it. They could be cute. But it'd have to happen in the later seasons where Donna is 18-20.
Laurie/Carlos - Isn't that the guy Laurie went on her honeymoon with instead of Fez?
Laurie/Casey - They are basically the same person (manipulative, abusers, etc), so it's fitting I'll say that.
Laurie/Kelso - So many things wrong with them, but I'll start with the fact that Laurie SA'd Kelso (he said 'no' several times and she didn't listen). Them later on willingly having sex doesn't change that.
Laurie/Professor - She was 19 and the Professor was in his 40s. Yuck.
Tumblr media
Red/Kitty (duh)
Any other pairing

so has it been confirmed that the kid is jackie and kelso's? ugh that is so annoying. i know the actors are married but they didnt need to incorporate that in the show and apparently be on their 2/3rd marriage?!? this 90s show is gonna be worse than season 8 - i'll have to act like it doesnt exist
According to all the public chatter on social media from people who have scripts to people who've gone to tapings, yeah.
T7S was originally going to end with season 7, and the original ending had Hyde proposing to Jackie. Anything that diverges from that characterization, for me, isn't canon. But I’m one person. Other people can reasonably disagree.
Real-world stuff shouldn't dictate the lives of fictional characters. Fictional characters exist outside of whoever portrays them. Hamlet from Shakespeare's Hamlet has been played by thousands upon thousands of actors for centuries, and he's always Hamlet regardless. Jackie and Hyde's trajectory, as established in eighty-six episodes of the show (especially in seasons 5-7; see my post Jackie's Relationship Stats for more) was them being endgame for the long haul.
Jackie and Kelso were totally over. And, quite frankly, Kelso and Brooke would've stayed together (according to their characters and story arcs). Since Brooke's portrayer left the show / was let go, Brooke left Point Place. No way the show was going to write off Kelso to join her, but the writers could've written more imaginatively and kept that relationship going -- and given Kelso storylines that weren't romantic or sexual in nature. That would've added a lot more complexity to his character. We'd had six seasons of storylines with his sexual and romantic shenanigans. Give him something else to do (like continuing to work on his career).
My fidelity is to the characters, character development, and character / story consistency. I've watched other shows where ships of mine died, but I had no trouble accepting the end of those relationships (despite hating that they ended) because it made story sense.
On T7S, the breakup of Eric and Donna at the end of season 3 is a great example of plants and payoffs. The setup for their breakup is done excellently throughout season 3. That development also has hints in season 2. So by the time of "The Promise Ring" (3x25), Eric and Donna's motivations are clearly established by many previous episodes.
Each episode of season 3 where Eric/Donna have a significant storyline (A or B) builds Eric's growing insecurity at Donna's growing independence, which becomes a vicious circle. The more insecure Eric becomes, the more he acts on it. The more he acts on it, the more independence Donna wrests from Eric, to the point where she becomes passive-aggressive toward him -- leading Eric to trying to get a guarantee from Donna that they have a future together, which makes Donna feel imprisoned by his need for that guarantee.
They've become incompatible due to Eric's inability to accept that Donna wants her relationship with him to be part of her life, not her life, and Donna's fear of a romantic relationship depriving her of having a life outside that relationship (which stems from her mom's struggles with her dad in that regard).
I ship Eric/Donna, too. That breakup was upsetting enough that I stopped watching the show consistently when season 4 originally aired. When I saw the commercial for "Going to California" (5x01) and saw that E/D were reuniting (and that J/H were finally getting together romantically), T7S became a must-see again.
But even if Eric and Donna hadn't reconciled, I would've (begrudgingly and sadly) accepted it because it would've made story sense. In fact, their reconciliation is badly written and doesn't make much story sense -- except for Donna's realization at the end of season 4 that she truly is in love with Eric and allowed fear to control her.
Their reconciliation in season 5, however, doesn't deal with what led to their breakup. So while Donna finally understood the depth of her love for Eric and refused to allow her parents' broken relationship to dictate her own, Eric is never held accountable by the writers (through any of the characters, including himself) for his attempts to control her and why.
Another, perhaps even more significant example. I shipped Jackie and Hyde starting from "Kelso's Serande" (2x21). The ending of "Jackie Bags Hyde" (3x08) was incredibly disappointing to me as a shipper. But story-wise, it made sense. It was setup properly. Hyde had clearly developed romantic feelings for Jackie, but once Jackie's fantasy becomes real through their kiss, it breaks. Her idolization of Hyde is done, as is her projection onto him for her emotional needs.
She recognizes that she was never chasing Hyde but trying to chase out the fear and loneliness Kelso's betrayal of her had created.
That being said, she obviously had developed platonic affection for Hyde after everything he'd done for her since "Prom Night" (1x19). Although T7S does no work to connect J/H's S1-S3 relationship to their S5 relationship, one can reasonably read subtext into it.
Hyde is absolutely harboring romantic feelings for Jackie from "Jackie Bags Hyde" on. Evidence of this (regardless of writer intention) exists in episodes that follow in S3, and throughout S4 J/H exhibit a comfort and closeness with each other they hadn't before (physical, not sexual, and in general). Adding those two significant factors to J/H's relationship-developing storylines in S1-S3, their romance beginning in S5 makes story sense. Their lying to themselves about it being a fling makes character sense.
Again, I don't have to like a certain storyline to accept it as canon. Hopefully the above is enough to explain why (without me going deep into writing technique and the elements of storytelling, lol).

Picked from „Arrow“, „Black Lightning“, „Supergirl“, „Legends of Tomorrow“, „The Flash“, „Barwoman“ Season 1+2 and „Superman & Lois“ Season 1+2. I did consider kicking „Superman & Lois“ of this list, but since it pretended to be part of the Arrowverse for its first two seasons I left it on here.
