Been thinking about the parallels between Goro Akechi and Kipperlily lately.

for your consideration. rivals to lovers kipperbees

🏳️‍🌈 kofi link in bio if you’re feeling generous 🏳️‍🌈

in my defence i started this before the latest episode dropped but i have not been swayed from my kipperbees bullshit

i don’t think anyone’s actually shown any interest in voting for kipperlilly so far, right? kristen is popular already. she’s cool, she found a new goddess, she’s saved the world three times, and she jumped a bunch of shrimp or whatever. people love kristen, she’s unhinged. but kipperlilly isn’t popular. she’s not even friends with her own party, she’s boring, and no matter how much she tries to buy the school’s love, nobody knows her or trusts her. the ratgrinders literally farm xp in the newbie zone, if people knew that she’d be a social pariah. at least riz is objectively uncool, but brennan wasn’t expecting the party’s funniest and second most charismatic member (according to stats) to run against his snotty, stuck-up, annoying cheater. and riz is still in charge of the campaign! this campaign has a charismatic, wise face and intelligent mind, while also getting the help of the whole party! kipperlilly may have money but she doesn’t have any of the resources her opponent does.

Kipperbees!

Kipperlilly Copperkettle & Kristen Applebees-

The “get-along”-shirt worked…. better(?) than anyone expected!

it’s coming around, yeah it’s coming around

The thing about Kristen is that she's a mess. The thing about Kipperlilly is that she's not. The thing about hating someone is that it's a lot like loving them. The thing about competing with someone is that you think about them all the damn time.

“Is it stressful, being so perfect all the time?”

Something passes over Kipperlilly. Kristen can’t read it for the life of her. Her eyes gleam under the shitty fluorescent lighting.

“Do you think I’m perfect?” she asks delicately, like it’s a dare.

(i still love kipperlilly and believe in presidential flirtation. sorry!)

I’ve been kickin around a kipperbees oneshot and honestly might try and write it. toxic yuri 😎

the way id get back into doing rp simply to play out a kipperbees romance 😳

Kristen and Kipperlilly are so Red White and Royal Blue coded

toxic AND doomed by the narrative. who is doing it like u kristen applebees

and if i said kipperlily is obsessed with kristen because she sees where kristen and lucy overlap and she wants to love kristen like she loved lucy and she wants to hate kristen to make herself hate lucy so she doesn’t have to grieve her. what then.

and if i said kipperlily killed buddy because she couldnt kill kristen and he was a proxy for the emotion she can’t name and he’s a vessel now for the god she can’t name. what then.

and if i said kipperlily killed buddy because she isn’t sure anymore if she killed lucy and she loved lucy but she hates buddy and she wanted a death that she wouldn’t grieve and she wanted it to be kristen but she sees the overlap and she knows that even though she’s placed buddy where lucy once was there’s no overlap and buddy can be a proxy for kristen and kristen for lucy but that does not make a connection exist between buddy and lucy so she can kill him guilt-free. what then.

and if i said kipperlily didn’t even want buddy to come back because what does it even matter if lucy didn’t. what then.

so I just had a thought

ally beardsley admits to copying head-to-toe the outfit of a hyper competent, debate club girl in college because they were in their “im gay and also trying to figure out if I want you or want to be you” phase (my words, not theirs)

the outfit was

now, why does this…sound familiar?

obviously it is not the same but the vibes? on par

and the similarities feel very important given their rivalry and kristen’s immediate visceral reaction

just rivals? or maybe kipperbees? applekettle? let’s see what happens, y’all

do you guys understand my kipperbees agenda

i refuse to believe kipperlilly would have a crush on riz. it would actually be much funnier if she had internalized homophobia and chose him as her crush and started hyperfixating on it but started getting really mad about the fact that she actually liked kristen and not him so she started hating both of them which led to a hatred for all of the bad kids and that spread throughout her party.

the atrocities cannot stop me. chapter 4 of my kipperbees fic out now!

would you be an outlaw for my love?

“Do you ever feel like everything’s been spinning, all around you, and you start spinning to catch up with it, faster and faster, but eventually it starts going too fast, and if you stop spinning, you’re gonna crash?” Kristen whispers into the darkness.

Kipperlilly stays quiet for a moment.

“No,” she murmurs. “Not exactly.”
