random headcanon bc i have thoughts sometimes:
koala never met any of the strawhats herself, has she? exception of robin ofc. so everything she heard about them was from robin. (well, koala did meet usopp too but he was severely injured and barely conscious) anyway i'd like to think that when robin brings up nami, she'd believe her and koala would get along well. especially when they have to deal with the troubling brothers...
how koala has to deal with sabo nearly setting the ship aflame bc he cant control it when he feels intense emotions (or other reasons). and you know what stress nami has to deal with and it's not just her captain :']
plus with the way sabo and robin talks about luffy, koala is definitely curious to see for herself what he is like with friends and such. and also it'd give sabo an excuse to see luffy again and eventually meet the rest of the crew... and i just know luffy and robin would be very enthusiastic to properly introduce the revolutionaries to their crew
(i might be missing some info/wrong abt things bc it has been awhile since ive read dressrosa and only watched film gold but yeah 🙏🙏 this is excluding one piece academy)
If you're sending me this to make me talk about Koala/Nami, you're 100% achieving your secret goal. Because I think Sabo would be dying to see Luffy again and would want to pay a visit to the crew right away, while Koala is extremely curious too (and also has to go to remind Sabo he can't stay there for too long because he has other responsibilities and dude is capable of staying there forever if Luffy asked him to). So I think Koala would be polite to everyone at first and they'd all love her because, you know, look at her. She's the sweetest thing! But then they'd get extremely scared of her because she keeps yelling at Sabo whenever he's acting stupid (which is a lot of the time when he's around Luffy because his brother makes him turn into a 5 y/o. Or when he's busy flirting with a certain blonde and almost sets everyone on fire and she has to do some damage control) and they all have this realization of "she reminds me of somebody" and they all look at Nami at the same time.
And because Nami literally is unable to control herself when a pretty girl is around, she wouldn't stop flirting with Koala. I don't think Koala would get it at first? Like maybe Nami is just being overly nice and that's all. But then she realizes the redhead is flirting with her, and she turns into the softest thing on earth while she speaks to Nami. They're just adorable. While Nami shows her around the ship and talks to her about their adventures and how the dynamics around the crew work, Koala pays attention to her words but won't stop blushing and noticing her heart is going crazy. And every time Koala does something cute (like pouting and complaining about Sabo with the most adorable of faces) Nami's brain stops working because "prettygirlprettygirlprettygirlprettygirl" and then it's Koala's turn to have the upper hand and flirt with her and tease her. Silly girls.
I just know they'd have a whole party (of course) and Sabo would look at them from a distance like "??? You never are that nice to me, Koala!" / "Well, if you didn't act like a ten year old I have to babysit maybe I'd be nicer to you". But it's actually all jokes because they're always really soft to each other lmao. In fact, I think Sabo would tease Koala about Nami but Koala would tease him about Sanji (when they have a moment alone) and they'd actually be extremely happy and saying that they're glad they can have the opportunity of having silly crushes. Sabo says he's happy to see her smile because she's been overworking herself lately, and she says it's really nice to see him opening up to others that isn't just her because he deserves it.
I also think Nami and Koala would get along really well, not only because of their roles regarding the ASL siblings, but because of their past lives. Koala was a slave and never really knew about freedom until she was rescued and she joined the revolutionary army. And Nami's story is pretty much the same when it comes to freedom too. They both have different experiences with the fishmen, too. Like- There's so much to unpack here, but the point is I think they'd love each other instantly. Besides, they'd speak about serious topics and Nami would realize why Koala is so important to the revs. She's starting to admire her so so much too.
Not to mention Koala would love the crew and would definitely understand right away why Sabo wanted to see them so bad. She finds Sanji (although a bit annoying) endearing and he's such a gentleman to her. Chopper is extremely adorable and he asks her politely if her scars still hurt and if he can do anything about it to help her. She knows Franky from Robin because she definitely talked a lot about him when they were together (my Frobin heart, I'm sorry). Zoro is fun when he opens up and it's amusing to see him interact with the others, besides, seeing him trying to drink as much as Nami is hilarious. Brook asks her to choose songs too! And I just can't wait to see her with Jinbe in canon because it's going to be so damn sweet. Sobbing crying shaking.

Hello Steph!
Ace Awareness week is already over, but I'd be really happy if I could ask you something about being a-spec. I'm honestly not sure who to ask irl and I feel like I've learned a lot on your blog, that's why I'm sharing this with you. I really hope this isn't too long or personal. If it is, please ignore it and thank you for reading <3.
So, I recently found out for myself that I'm pan(-sex.&-rom.) and platoniromantic (whee, there's a word for it! and I'm not automatically a creep! whoop!) For me it means, I basically have crushes on all of my friends at all times, (but Lgbt wiki says it falls under the aromantic-umbrella) which can get a bit awkward.
Growing up as a girl with my female friends, I've been confused by how physically affectionate they were (Hugs, and hand holding; Platonically sharing the bed etc.) bc I don't think any of them were sapphic. It was just cute and sweet for them, but they didn't want more. As a consequence I've been careful not to act on those feelings and not make my friends uncomfortable or abuse their trust(hence why I thought I'm creepy); the times I hinted at taking it further, they never seemed to be interested (I mean, what are the chances they're even sapphic?) It's kind of been the same with my bi/straight male friends. My dating pool is basically my small rl friend group (currently 2 lovely women), but I guess that way it's less likely they're also like me romantically back?
Over the years, it's just caused me a bit of heartbreak, because I have cared deeply about my friends and crave a closer romantic connection to someone. And, I mean, I do think it's kinda sweet that when my lizard-brain sees something friend-shaped, it wants to put a ring on it, but I don't really know how to proceed from here.
I'm honestly embarrassed that I'm already in my mid-twenties and have so little experience (no romantic/sexual relationships, not even proper kissing) (partly bc the pandemic struck 1 year after I got out of school). Do you maybe have some advice on how to meet people that 'match'? I'm quite shy and people usually call me uptight, so I haven't really been to any queer spaces in rl bc I'm a bit intimidated. Like, I don't seem particularly queer and I'm not great at talking about these things (I'm not even out to my family yet). Heck, for the longest time I thought I'm straight and just doing friendships wrong.
I'd appreciate a morsel of your wisdom, but it's also been really nice to just be able to share this with someone. It's made me feel less weird. Thank you.
Hey Nonny *HUGS*
Never ever hesitate to ask a question here... sometimes I answer them, sometimes I don't, but I try my best! <3 Especially asks about asexuality, because I like sharing the stuff I learned on my journey, AND I also enjoy researching to learn more as I reply to these asks!
So, OOOF, romance is definitely not something I know a lot about. And PLEASE don't be embarrassed at all. It's society that engrains this horrid notion that if you're in your 20s and you still haven't met someone / had sex, you're all dried up and no good (hence all the terrible ageism in fandom spaces). Nonny, I'm in my 40s and I've never had a serious relationship – sexual nor romantic – in my entire life. I crave wanting to be in love, but sadly it's not something that's probably ever in my future. And that said, I am LITERALLY the worst person to ask advice on how to "meet people" – I'm neurotic and introverted with horrid social anxiety, so meeting new people for me is a months-long prep period for me. And because I'm ace, I feel like sites like tinder and bumble aren't going to welcome me, so I've just... never tried.
Pfff so I suppose probably looking into community groups in your area, or joining social program (both things I haven't done because – you know – anxious). A-spec relationships are tough, it seems, because some of us such as myself just want to meet someone I can cuddle and love and spend all my time with for the rest of my life, while others might want the sex but not the romance... it's tough. Honestly there's no right answer I can offer you, mainly because I'm very inexperienced myself.
For me, I take joy in loving the people in my life in the various roles they play in it: my coworkers, my sister, my besties, and my family all have different attachments to me. I care about them all, and it's fulfilling in its own way. And I DO want a partner, if one will ever have me, but it's not a necessity to make life fulfilling for me.
I also haven't really been to queer spaces IRL either other than Pride and the cons I've visited, but yeah I feel like I'm going to be intruding because I'm not outgoing myself. I really wish I had the right answer for you, Lovely. I'd like to know myself. I feel like, sometimes, that I just got in too late.
ANYWAY, sorry if this isn't a good reply nor make you feel better, but I'm happy you felt comfy enough to share your story with me. Asks like this one make ME feel less alone too, Nonny. *HUGS**
If anyone has any advice, please feel free to add onto this post <3

Book Blurb: Moulin Rouge meets Holly Black in a thrilling sapphic friends-to-lovers romantasy! This lavish and decedent LGBTQ+ fantasy romance will leave fans of Divine Rivals and Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries utterly enchanted!
After running away from home, Sybil Clarion is eager to embrace all the freedom the Belle Époque city of Severon has to offer. Instead, she’s traded high-society soirées for empty pockets. At least she has Esme, the girl who offered Sybil a home, and if either of them dared, something more. 
While Esme would rather spend the night tinkering with her clocks and snuggling her cats, Sybil craves excitement and needs money. She plans to get both by stealing the rare posters that crop up around town. But when she’s caught selling a poster by none other than its subject, Maeve, the glamorous girl invites Sybil and Esme to The Absinthe Underground, the exclusive club she co-owns, and reveals herself to be a Green Faerie, trapped in this world. 
Maeve wants to hire thieves for a daring heist in Fae and is willing to pay enough that Sybil and Esme never have to worry about money again. It’s too good of an offer to pass up, even if Maeve’s tragic story doesn’t quite add up, and the secrets could jeopardize everything the girls have so carefully built.
Jamie Pacton, author of The Vermilion Emporium, dazzles in this whimsical and daring romantic fantasy. Fans of Fae lore, slow-burn sapphic pining, and decadently magical worlds will find The Absinthe Underground as ensorcelling as a fairy delight.
Review:
Two best friends and roommates who are secretly in love with each other have made been making money by stealing posters, find themselves invited into the exclusive underground club and then on job to steal jewels from the fae.... but nothing is as it's seen with the fae. Sybil and Esme are best friends and roommates, they are both in love with each other and have never said anything, afraid of ruining their friendship. They both need to make money to pay rent and Sybil has been stealing posters to sell... something that is extremely forbidden. When both girls get caught stealing a poster for the very exclusive club The Absinthe Underground, they are caught by the model of the poster and the very co-owner of it, Maeve. Maeve reveals that she is the Green Faerie trapped in the human world and wants to hire Esme and Sybil to steal jewels from the Fae world so she can make the drinks for the club. The money from this heist would set them for life... but it would also lead them to finding someone they thought long lost... yet while in the Fae world they are beginning to realize that Maeve's story isn't adding up and that she isn't who she claims to be.... and their jewel heist might cost them more than they could ever realize. Unfortunately for me, this one fell really flat. I had high hopes for a fun sapphic fae adventure along the lines of Holly Black and Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries and this was definitely not that. This book is an extremely slow burn romance and the actual plot pacing felt so slow. The story itself didn't feel like much was happening and I found myself losing interest over and over. I sadly just didn't care all that much for the characters or their romance and friendship, because it genuinely barely even felt like it was there. I so badly wanted a cute sapphic romance between two friends to lovers and I can say with all honestly, there was 1% romance in this book and they didn't even really feel all that much like friends. I wanted so badly to like this but it just missed the mark for me. While this one was a miss for me, if you like extremely slow burn romances and a young adult fae adventure, give this a go, maybe you'll have a better time with it than i did.
*Thanks Netgalley and Holiday House / Peachtree / Pixel+Ink, Peachtree Teen for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

making robin’s entire character about #that man and saying she should d!e with him and calling elmax FAMILIAL oh yall really hate sapphics
cool so the way you worded this tells me you have very little interest in a conversation in good faith. normally i'd go ahead and delete this but im feeling patient so i'm going to respond.
so on your first point about making robin's entire character about #that man...where did i do that? i said it would be an interesting choice to have robin die w steve IF they're killing people off because 1) robin represents the future in a similar way as eddie (youth destroyed too soon) and 2) she literally had a conversation with steve where she said "i don't think we're gonna make it out this time," which is foreshadowing if i've ever seen it. no, her relationship with steve is not her ENTIRE character (see: very small arc abt vickie and supporting nancy), but whether you like it or not she was introduced as a character coupled with steve (i mean coupled in the literal, "two people" sense, not as in they are a couple). i love robin but in canon, her role in the story is to further steve's narrative. if you have an issue with that, you gotta take it up with the duffers. don't shoot the messenger. (also, i very clearly specified i liked this choice in an alternate universe where the bury your gays trope doesn't exist.)
on e/max (sorry in advance if this shows up in the tag, the anon message didn't censor it so....): i 100% support people who ship them because i think they'd be very cute together! however, i think their relationship is written platonically and they read more as sisters to me. i don't think there is any romantic coding in canon, though i'd be happy to have a discussion abt it. female friendships are very important to me and i think el & max are a great example of the power of female friendship. calling their relationship familial when there isn't explicit or implicit romantic coding is not "hating sapphics". (is this the part where i have to write the disclaimer that i am a lesbian? that i do want sapphic relationships on screen? that i am literally in college so i can write stories for the screen about sapphic love? cmon). i think lucas and max are a masterclass in telling a story about young love, which is why i prefer lu/max. that's besides the point though.
final point: you don't have to agree with me. me having an opinion that doesn't align with your thoughts is not a personal attack. you can scroll, you can unfollow, hell. you can block me. i'm gonna assume you're my age or younger (based on the fact you censored die [the app isn't algorithm based, you're good] and you were so quick to accuse me of hating sapphics), which is why i didn't respond with "ok lol stay mad" or something. maybe my assumption is wrong and you're getting my patience for free lmao. someone asked me for my unpopular opinions, and i shared. you don't have to agree, but you don't get to come in my inbox and act like i said something homophobic or misogynistic when everything i said was rooted in the canon of the show.

I'm half venting and half seeking advice so aplogies in advance if this is long and all over the place...
Ok so right now I'm mostly in the closet. I privately identify as sapphic because I'm not sure if I'm lesbian or bi with low or rare attraction to men. Or I'm afraid to fully accept myself as a lesbian.
Last year I found myself gravitating more to wlw content and it made me feel... something. A certain longing which was weird because I've never been the 'hopeless romantic' type (actually thought I didn't feel any attraction at a ll). Maybe I'm lonely? The more I thought about it though, the more I realized I don't feel like this for men, it doesn't make my heart ache the same way. Even in school when everyone talked about boys they thought were hot, sex, crushes, things like that, I just played along, I didn't really get it. This (tearing up over a lesbian wedding) felt like "it".
The epiphany was realizing that its not just my imagination. I actually want a girl to hold me and to call her my girlfriend. Actually letting myself see women as an option unlocked something, now I keep realizing things. Like there was a girl in my chem lab with a really cute smile, I kept getting kinda nervous around her and didn't want her to think I was staring... yeah I had a huge crush, I see it now. And in reality I get weirded out when men show interest in me. With the two guys I dated, romance felt fake and forced. But maybe I need to keep trying? I still keep testing how I feel looking at men; some to comphet work through for sure and being stuck in a homophobic house doesn't help. I feel like a creep now when I notice an attractive woman.
That feeling of like total emotional disconnection to men in a romantic or sexual way (like you described) is so common when it comes to lesbians.
You shouldn’t keep trying with men if that has never made you feel comfortable. Attraction is supposed to feel positive, not negative or neutral.
I have a tag here dedicated to talk about lesbian experiences if you want to take a look at and see if you relate with those experience. The link is here. You’re algo going to see some posts that link you to videos talking about lesbian experiences and comphet, to check the rest of those video just click on the tag #source: patronsaintoflesbians.
Always advise checking the lesbian masterdoc or the bisexual manifesto if you relate with the things mentioned.
You’re the only one who can figure out your identity. But from everything you said those experiences all sound like comphet.

any of 1, 2, 19, 20 (they’re v similar so please feel free to answer them together/ pick whichever you want to answer!!)
Femslash Shipping Questions!
Thank you for these!! and omg this got a little more personal than I was expecting lmao here you go
1/2: What was the first time you encountered canon/fanon femslash? How old were you? How did it make you feel?
Canon wise, I was a Pretty Little Liars girly. I was SO in love with Emily Fields and her girlfriends, and 10/11 year old me was smitten. Even then, it never occurred to me to seek out more content online? I was reading PLL fanfiction, but it was all ezria (Ezra Fitz/Aria Montgomery, a teacher/student thing that I thought was so romantic). I didn't actually see much fan content around wlw except some background ships in the drarry fanfic I read. I took a step into femslash fandom when I added past Narcissa/Lily to my lucissa fics at.. 14? but never really engaged much with other wlw content bc it made me feel Weird (even though I identified as bi at the time and was fine with that, the internalised homophobia was Strong) and I hated lesbian headcanons for a long time... not a good time. Then around 17 or so I found Extinction by @rubikanon which got me into cissamione overnight, and I think that is really what jumpstarted my love for femslash as a fandom section?? But even then, it's taken a while from then until the time I started really writing femslash fic regularly.
I'm about to turn 22 now, and I love femslash fandom with all my heart. But I'd say it's honestly really been the last? two years? That I've also let myself enjoy that wholeheartedly without feeling icky or ashamed around it. It's been a blast.
19: Thoughts about lesbian tragedy and bad endings?
Okay so I know that as a general trend, they're bad. I know the history of them, and I do very much oppose the idea that in order to tell an interesting lesbian story, the lesbians gotta die and be miserable. I wish we had more content where we lived and weren't hidden away while married to men, you know, absolutely. In terms of mass media, 100%.
That said.
I love it.
I love tragedy, I love tear-jerk stories where people die and can't be together, I love forbidden love, I love stories with infidelity. I love it regardless of if it's femslash or not. I think here though, my condition is that I love these stories, if they're about queer women being miserable, I want them told by queer women. Let us indulge in the stories of our own suffering when it's not a condition for our stories to exist in the first place.
Yes, mass media telling us our stories are worth telling only if we die, terrible and should not be a thing, I hate it. But god do I love a good tragedy.
20: Thoughts about (purely fictional!) lesbian unhealthy relationships?
All in favour of this, honestly. A lot of the femslash I personally write is actually quite wholesome compared to other ships I write? And I think part of it is that I'm legit kinda scared to indulge in darker content with femslash bc it feels like there's this Thing around femslash that it's supposed to be cute and wholesome to offset the mean evil dyke stereotypes around wlw. The darkest I get between women is a consensual age gap, whereas with ships like Sirius/Narcissa, I love exploring how genuinely fucked up a relationship can be. I'm more hesitant to do that with femslash, even though there's plenty of ships it could work for.
I like to read darker femslash, though, and I love the authors providing us with it. Maybe one day I'll actually be comfortable enough to let my sapphic characters be less than good and sad-at-worst.

'Broccoli' (lyric breakdown)
The track 'Broccoli' is all about the excitement and desire during the beginning stages of dating someone. I originally wrote it in early 2023 as a really sad song doubting myself, even though I was dating this really cool girl I wasn't sure how much she liked me back. I decided to challenge myself by flipping it into a more positive song. The vocal delivery has a confident sound to it, but this is juxtaposed by some of the self doubting lyrics.
The track title comes from an inside joke between me and the girl it's about. I give the file names for songs in progress silly names, and in this case I decided to keep it for fun. I later found out that sapphic women are rumoured to have used to give each other Broccoli instead of a bokay of flowers in order to remain under the radar when same-sex relationships were illegal in the western world. This is appropriate, as it's a love song about another woman!
Lyrics
Verse One
"Maybe I'm just not made for love, Should I give up?"
This was the first line I wrote, back when it started as a sad song. I was struggling to communicate to this girl how much I liked her.
"You're slipping on concrete, And I'd let you fall but that's too easy."
She would trip over on the pavement a lot when we were walking, I found it cute and funny. I combined it with the wordplay of 'falling' for someone to be a bit cheeky!
"I'm breathing you in, Your hair, your smoke."
Her hair smelt really good but she also smoked cigarettes which have a very strong, bitter smell. The overload of senses is a metaphor for how tongue tied and overwhelmed I would get around her.
"I'ma let you know, How easy you got this, I'm a fool for lust and you're earning all my fondness."
I wanted her to know how much I liked her, she had already won me over. I'm a hopeless romantic.
Pre Chorus:
"Keep us on the down-low, I'm afraid you won't keep me around so I won't give you all my trust no, Wanna take my time, wanna make you mine though."
She wasn't very public about dating me, didn't really post me on social media or anything. I'm quite an insecure person so I definitely felt like she viewed our situation as temporary. I didn't like this and I wanted to be in a relationship with her!
"Yeah we're moving so slow, Baby sit back enjoy the ride, I'm afraid to hold your hand incase you wouldn't understand."
I"m quite big on physical affection in a relationship, but neither of us ever wanted to make the first move! I was too scared to even initiate hand holding. It was frustrating for me but there was also something very sweet and innocent about it.
This was also my first serious experience dating as an adult, I was in a longterm relationship from the age of 17 until I was 21, and my experience with this girl was my first time dipping my toes back into the dating pool since I was a teen! I guess the symbolism of broccoli can kind of link into that, as it's a vegetable that most people only start enjoying eating when they become an adult?
Chorus:
"Lighter, higher, Contemplate if I'm a liar, desire, Burn apart of me."
On our dates, she would always play with lighters and burn napkins and stuff. She would also always playfully accuse me of exaggerating stories and lying.
"Fire, like a choir, burn apart of me, I'm calling out your name while we're dancing in the rain."
I fancied her.
Verse 2:
"So close, you're giving me your time, your weekends."
We'd hang out pretty much every weekend.
"Walk you home, I wanna cross the line, You're leaving all this room between us, Let me taste all of your secrets, Wanna find out all your weakness, Take me someplace they can't see us."
I'd always walk her home after. I had no ulterior motive but I used to fantasise that one day she'd invite me inside.
Pre Chorus:
"Keep us on the down-low, I'm afraid you won't keep me around so I won't give you all my trust no, Wanna take my time, wanna make you mine though."
"Yeah we're moving so slow, but I think I'm enjoying the ride, Baby let me hold your hand, they don't need to understand."
Gaining more confidence and security.
Chorus:
"Lighter, higher, Contemplate if I'm a liar, desire, Burn apart of me. Fire, like a choir, burn apart of me, I'm calling out your name while we're dancing in the rain."

AFTERTASTE PART SEVEN
Pairing: Archie Andrews X Reader
Summary: In which two best friends since childhood test whether sex and friendship can co-exist without causing conflict. Including OC's Flick and Cherry, a bisexual and lesbian in a sapphic relationship who are best friends of Y/N.
Song: Dream Boy by Waterparks
Warnings: swearing
Words: 2.1K
MASTERLIST
feedback is always appreciated
Tumblr media
Y/F and Y/M Robins were far from perfect parents. Y/F had the mental age of a toddler at times, and being an estate agent who always has to go the extra mile- he often wasn't home when his wife needed him the most. Y/M, on the other end of things, had been a stay at home mum until Y/N turned 16 last summer, and now she helped with all the administrative work for Mayor McCoy. She was a maternal creature which, coupled with her brilliant sarcasm, made for some explosive conversations. The two met on the first day of university and got married a week after the last.
When Y/M first found out she was pregnant with little Y/S Robins, the two realised they wanted a quiet bubble of a town to raise their children and grow up with them. But it wasn't until their second daughter was about to turn seven until they found their forever home in the quaint town of Riverdale. Ten years passing before their eyes, and the picturesque place didn't seen all that anymore.
Jason Blossom's death had nothing to do with the short gunshot sounding over the waves of Sweetwater River, the noise which woke Y/N from her sweet unmemorable dreams every few nights. The summer days rolled into early August without anyone caring, Y/N spending most of them at Cheryl's side listening intently to her past adventures with her brother. Betty threw herself into an internship at a publication house; Flick and Cherry had volunteered at a summer camp, and Archie was helping his dad out more and more with constructions job.
Although it hadn't been the start to the relationship Y/N had hoped for- the nervous giggles and hand holding, short and sweet kisses on late night walks followed by poetry worthy cuddling. There was a magnificent silver lining as Archie's muscles gained definition, and he suited the sweaty builder look far too well.

"Earth to my gorgeous queen? Y/N/N?" Cheryl quizzed her friend, who currently resided at the poolside of Thornehill Manor. Her mind was off on a glorious tangent about her rendezvous in the kitchen at two in the morning. Fixing herself a glass of water, when Archie slips his hand into her pyjama shorts, his other around her mouth muffling her needy moans.
The red headed beauty shoved her y/h/c friend playfully, warm skin sweaty under her pale touch. Y/N blinked innocently and sent her an apologetic smile, "What?"
"I asked if you've thought about dating anyone else since Clayton?" The fiery ginger girl enquired with her usual upbeat tone.
Cheryl knew she had a unique quality about her which made it almost impossible for Y/N to lie to her face. The y/h/c girl scrunched up her nose, hiding the smile the idea of Archie Andrews brought to her face. 'Yes. We started off as fuck buddies but never actually fucked. Then I drunkenly asked him to be my boyfriend, now a month later I think we may genuinely work out.'
"Maybe." Y/N bit her bottom lip, listening to her friend's squeal as she squeezed her sun tanned arm.
"I knew it! You have this euphoric glow you only get when someone else makes you climax." The redhead affirmed confidently, watching the Robins girl's eyes bug out before hitting her arm, "Y/N/N, you know your secret's safe with me."
"Fine." She sighed and took a sip of her fruity cocktail, "It started off as just fooling around, honestly I just needed to let off some steam after everything. I knew he was into the kinds of things I was, I mean he used to tease me about it non stop. And it was good, so good I stopped being a pussy and asked him to be my boyfriend."
"Holy freaking hell!" The Blossom girl grinned with excitement, "Dare I ask, who is it?"
Y/N deadpanned at her friend, "Guess."
"Please don't tell me it's that muscular oaf Reggie, he's pretty but there's not exactly much going on upstairs." Cheryl tapped her temples and rolled her eyes at the thought.
"Nope."
The ginger thought for a moment, consulting her liquid courage and splashing her feet around the waters edge, "It's Archie."
All it took was a side-eyed glance at the y/h/c girl's blooming rosy cheeks to know she definitely wasn't wrong. Y/N severely lacked the ability to lie, even if her tone held conviction, her features were far too expressive and told the truth all on their own. It's not like they were hiding it from anyone, but the past four weeks had gone far too quickly without any moments to spare for the world around them. They slept together each night, the majority of that time not actually spent sleeping, but they hadn't been given the chance yet to explore more romantic avenues.
"It's fucking Archie Andrews- you're fucking Archie Andrews and don't you dare deny it." Cheryl gawked in her gorgeous white and nude bikini, watching as her friend lay back against the hot marble slabs which encased the large pool with the largest grin adorning her plump lips.
"We haven't had sex yet, so technically you aren't completely correct." Y/N winked but carried on before the girl exploded with a hundred questions and could never be turned off, "Trust me, I want to, and I'm sure he does too. But you know, it's his first time, I want it to be perfect for him."
"Y/N/N, you really love him, don't you?" Cheryl gagged to begin with, but she found it sweet in truth. She wanted someone to hold, who would hold her right back just as tight for no other reason than needing to.
Y/N sat back up and paddled her feet, "You have no idea, Cher."

Arch 🧡
Yeah Y/D invited my dad too
Need me to pick you up from Cheryl's?
Tiger 💛
Awe cute we love a bromance, and it's all good my mommas coming now anyways :))
Hours had elapsed far too fast and soon the summer heat simmered into cool waves of wind brushing over sun kissed skin. Cheryl's arms were clasped around the blonde's shoulders in a tight embrace.
"Thank you so much, Y/N/N, I don't know what I'd do without you!" The Blossom girl professed with sparkling eyes and a brilliant smile.
Y/N beamed up at her, fingers carding through her damp y/h/c hair as she looked over her shoulder to see her mum pulling into the driveway, "You don't need to thank me, Cher, friends look after each other. Message me if you need me, okay?"
Cheryl promised she would and the two teen girls hugged goodbye, with Y/N soon heading home- listening to her mother gossip about Hal and Alice's screaming match last night, Y/N loved her inability to keep her mouth shut sometimes.
"Mom," The y/h/c stopped her mid sentence and received a side eyed glance in response, "I need to tell you something and you're totally not allowed to freak out while you're driving."
Y/M's eyes widened and her grip tightened around the steering wheel, her daughters very rarely confided in her. While she knew her youngest was safe in her promiscuity, neither of Y/M Robins' girls ever shared their secrets so for the most part she took finding out into her own hands.
"Honey," The forty four year old's calm tone was hardly comforting to the teenager, "if this is about you and Archie fooling around, your father and I figured that out a long time ago, like so long ago. Who do you think does your laundry? When your underwear starting looking like dental floss, we caught on pretty quickly."
Y/N felt like a deer in headlights, "Mum, what the hell?" Her cheeks heated to an inhuman temperature.
"It's nothing to be embarrassed about, as long as you're being safe and he's-"
"For the second time today, and I can't believe I'm saying this to you, but I am not having sex with Archie Andrews!" Y/N's high pitched voice sounded through the car. It truly was a blessing and a curse to have such open minded parents in situations like this. She thought about telling her mother the truth, but Y/M was a blabber mouth as well as a gossip, so Y/N chose to withhold certain pieces of information.
The Robins matriarch dropped the subject but didn't forget about her daughter's tone, and continued to ramble on about how odd she found Penelope Blossom and the whole Blossom family in general. "Like why on Earth is Rose in a wooden wheelchair? They know it's the twenty first century, right?"
As expected, the Robins household was once again filled with warm laughter and copious amounts of food. The topic of Jason was skimmed over, and Y/S found herself away from the dinner table. The eldest Robins sibling was currently pleading with Alice as she began shoving all of Polly's belongings in the boot of Hal's car. She couldn't comprehend life without her best friend, not after losing Jason. They were meant to be going travelling together for a year- working the worst jobs and staying up all night to watch the sun rise in different countries. But instead, Y/S's eyes were blinded by tears as she screamed down the street at the speeding car, with Polly Cooper taken out of her life indefinitely.
Y/N was oblivious to the dark inner workings of the Cooper clan, Betty's knowledge about her and Archie unbeknownst to the loved up teens. She'd spent every second not occupied by her internship trying to justify the romantic act as a fleeting moment of loneliness fuelled by alcohol. She wrote in her diary ideas on how she could win Archie back over, not knowing it was in fact, too late. Betty found herself hopelessly in love with the boy next door, unfortunately for her, the girl across the road was the only one his mind found.
Archie and Y/N washed up while their parents resided to the living room with three glasses and a bottle of white wine. The short girl turned the tap off after placing the last utensil on the draining board, flicking her sudsy hands at the boy's face. "What the-"
She didn't give him a chance to finish that thought, jumping up and wrapping her legs around his torso- planting a kiss onto his lips, then cheeks, then forehead. The two fell entranced by each other, planting pecks across nape of her neck and top of his head.
"Son," Fred's voice called out from the next room and the two immediately pulled apart, hearts beating in their ears, "we're going in a minute."
"Alright." He replied, placing his girlfriend on the floor once more.
"I wish you'd stay." Y/N pouted childishly, she meant the words entirely but hated feeling overbearing. Her life had been turned upside down this summer, it started off with her unable to fall asleep with another person next to her- now Archie's chest was her most comfortable pillow and is arms were the warmest blanket.
"Tomorrow night instead, Princess? I promised my dad I'd spend more time with him before senior year." The boy reasoned, holding her close and unknowingly feeling the exact same way, he adored holding her by her waist and pulling her close under the duvet.
"Monopoly night at yours?" She grinned and he nodded back in reply, the two sharing a final kiss in the kitchen before walking into the hallway.
Y/N felt at ease as she wished the two a goodnight and headed up to bed. She took off her tea dress and replaced it with Archie's bulldog t-shirt, managing to reach the same length on her thighs as her dress did.

grin I'm not surprised that your Legacies salty asks is practically line by line similar to mine. I also like Josie and Hope as a brotp. and i still maintain Josie's noticed that Lizzie's a little too obsessed with Hope & it clicked for her that Lizzie's into Hope because of the time she tried to convince Ethan to date Hope.
also, I am with you on MG and Lizzie, they were cute in s1 but I wasn't invested but it's s4 now and I'm honestly over that because Lizzie never seemed to be romantically interested in him. Or Ethan.
Because she's in luuurve with Hope!
:)
I mean, Josie has grown up with Lizzie and been closer to her than anyone else for their whole lives, so I have no doubt that she thought something was up regarding Lizzie's fixation on Hope. I think it would make sense-if they do end up making Hope/Lizzie a confirmed thing-for Josie to have been the first one who noticed. She knows what it's like to not be a straight girl, and she even has personal experience in recognizing the simultaneous presence of negative/hateful feelings and genuine attraction and romantic attachment because of everything she went through with Penelope in season 1.
Again, I tiptoe very carefully in regard to shippy content, but as A Lady Who Likes Ladies, I have definitely been in the situation of, "I liked someone I considered a friend, but I didn't want to deal with that so I went out of my way to do everything I could to support their relationship with someone else." So much of how Lizzie interacts with the world reads as sapphic to me, and Idk, I think it would be cool to have a canon mentally ill female character who is confirmed explicitly in-text to like girls, I just think that would be neat.
I'm just not really into the "This person has been pining for so long, and one day, a long time down the line, the object of their affection suddenly Realize™ that they want to be with them too" dynamic. There are a lot of reasons why that specific trope just doesn't hit with me, and maybe I'll talk about them someday, but that's too much of a complicated subject to fully get into here, haha.
Also, no, I never got the vibe that she was seriously into Ethan. She very much came across as...trying to convince herself she was? Because he ticked some boxes and she wanted to be in love, and he was there, so he must be the key to that happening, right?
And to avoid dealing with the fact that she's actually in love with Hope. XD

for this month's recommendations, i decided to go with the theme KISSES GALORE in honour of valentine's day. all of the below works have been posted in the month of february 2021 and hand selected by me <3
Sowing Discord by @chronologicalimplosion
A group of hyper-religious, homophobic protesters on campus ruins David's post-lunch good mood and he sends a half-joking message to the LGBTQ+ Discord server about staging a counterprotest. Constant lurker Patrick comes running.
Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 4,089 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Original Characters, Alternative Universe, Alternative Universe - College/University, Homophobia, First Kiss, Epistolary, kind of
"This work features the inclusion of messages sent in Discord channels, a social media app I've never seen interrogated into a fanfiction piece before. The perfect balance of humour as well as tenderness makes this the ideal read to round out the month of love."
falling into place like dominos by @davidbrewer
Alexis spins the bottle and Stevie doesn’t know if she wants it to stop in front of her, or if she’s hoping it points literally anywhere else. She thinks she’ll figure it out when it stops moving, but… even with the neck of the bottle unmistakably pointing at her foot, she still can’t identify what the feeling is. Is that happiness or dread settling in the pit of her stomach? Since when do those completely different things feel exactly the same? If she’s being honest, though, it feels like a combination of things. It’s that feeling you get right before you do something you know you might regret later… like throwing back a jello shot (which she wishes she had done), calling an ex at 3am, or maybe jumping out of a plane.
David and Patrick hold a second housewarming party, this time at their newly-renovated cottage. For old times' sake, they decide to play spin the bottle. Meanwhile, Stevie has been wrestling with her feelings for Alexis since she left for New York... and it never occurred to her that those feelings could flow both ways.
Rated M for MATURE AUDIENCES; 4,897 words; F/F; TAGGED for Stevie Budd & Alexis Rose, Stevie Budd/Alexis Rose, Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Post-Canon, Lesbian Stevie Budd, First (Real) Kiss, Alcohol, Spin the Bottle, Queer Themes, Sexuality Crisis, (Although it's more of a frustrated confusing than a crisis tbh)
"The author's ability to voice every character (but specifically Alexis) will never fail to astound me; their inner voice for Stevie is the most notable in this work, however. Even the friendship/sibling dynamics between David and Alexis and as well as Stevie and Patrick are absolute perfection. One of the best 'Housewarming' codas I've ever endulged in and I can confidently says so."
Until I Lose My Breath by @the-kellephant
How could she have missed the fact that she was in love with Twyla?
Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 814 words; F/F; TAGGED for Stevie Budd/Twyla Sands, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss, Femslash February, Bisexual Stevie Budd, Lesbian Twyla Sands
"A lovely introspective piece about sapphic feelings and how they can often be blindsided by denial if not provided with the proper care or attention."
You can Stand Under my Umbrella by @agoodpersonrose
David thought the day couldn't possibly get any worse. But then it started to rain.
43. You both reach for the last umbrella in the store on a rainy day.
Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 2,721 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Alternative Universe - Canon Divergence, Tumblr Prompt, Meet-Cute, First Kiss, First Meetings, Awkward Flirting, Kissing in the Rain, Umbrellas, Fluff and Humour, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Prompt Fill, One Shot
"I have nothing to say besides this is hands down the most cute way this prompt could've been filled and I applaud Becca for her ability to write such tender moments in a way underlined with laughs."
Ten Tender Kisses by @cheesecurdsgravyandfries
Ten drabbles featuring ten tender kisses.
Rated G for GENERAL AUDIENCES; 1,110 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Fluff, tender kisses, Canon Compliant
"Reading this was pure joy. The happiness I felt from the first drabble continued to grow the longer I scrolled which is truly a beautiful feeling. Their banter is so perfectly in character and the dynamic the author has created between David and Patrick is a skill I envy."
I Didn't Know it was a Crush, David by squigmistress
David and Patrick arrive home after The Premiere and David wants to talk more about some of the wild stuff Patrick said when he was high on pain meds. What he doesn't expect is Patrick's big, gay feelings. But damn, does he love him for it. OR Patrick needs emotional safety to process some feelings and, of course, David is more than happy to hold him through it.
Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 1,548 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, david rose - Relationship, Queer Themes, Coming Out, Episode: s06e05 The Premiere, Coda, Feelings, Feelings Realisation, Gay, Canon Gay Character, Family Issues, Intimacy, Non-Sexual Intimacy, Anger
"Now, I've always been a sucker for introspective works, but this took it to a brand new level. It's such a fine needle to thread; however, the author does an astounding job at cataloguing the growth/development of Patrick's emotions."
Be your remedy by @jessx2231
Patrick closes his eyes and brings to mind all the times David has put on music while Patrick is engrossed in a book or his phone or even the occasional weekend work task. Eventually, David will slink into his space, just enough to rest his head in Patrick’s lap. He doesn’t always do so with the intent to fall asleep, but it’s usually not long before Patrick’s fingers involuntarily find their way into David’s hair — much like they are now — and David’s breath will even out for a while.
He can definitely make an abridged version of that happen.
Or, David can't sleep and Patrick helps.
Rated G for GENERAL AUDIENCES; Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings; 2,048 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Fluff, Established Relationship, Canon Compliant, Post-Canon, Married Life, very mild descriptions of depressive symptoms, but really just some very soft sleepy boys
"A warm hug is the best way I can describe this. Also, I already knew I need a Patrick Brewer in my life, but this solidified that."
the paths that your eyes wander down by @anniemurphys apart of falling in love at a coffee shop by them, @thankstwy, and @landofsonlali
Written for the prompt: "Twyla and Alexis reunite in NYC."
Alexis finds Twyla at a tiny corner table.
Rated G for GENERAL AUDIENCES; 568 words; F/F; TAGGED for Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands, Post-Canon
"The absolute perfect romantic comedy moment paired with some of the most in-character Alexis dialogue I've seen in awhile, not to mention how beautifully the mutual pining is broken."
a sense of expectation hanging in the air by Anonymous (i'll add the author once reveals are out for the Season 7 collection !)
Stevie starts to realize she has feelings for Ruth. How long though, will it take for her to tell Ruth that?
Rated M for MATURE AUDIENCES; 6,548 words; F/F; TAGGED for Stevie Budd/Ruth Clancy, Stevie Budd & Alexis Rose & Twyla Sands, Stevie Budd & David Rose, Stevie Budd & Patrick Brewer, Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands, Post-Canon, Getting Together, Sharing a Bed, Cuddling & Snuggling, Making Out, Fluff, Texting, Female Friendship, Episode: s07e08 RMG, Workplace Relationship
"The support from Stevie's friends—Alexis, Twyla, David, and Patrick—is so incredibly lovely. Despite the secret crushes, Stevie and Ruth refuse to let anything get in the way of them getting together and it's such a wonderful thing to see them immediately all-in the relationship."
got a fistful of four leaf clovers by iphigenias
Two weeks before Christmas Alexis calls David.
“So I think I like someone,” she says.
Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 1,754 words; F/F; TAGGED for Post-Canon, Getting Together, Femslash February, home is a place AND a person!
"Alexis's slow burn of building feelings for Twyla melts my heart. That being said, the realistic depiction of the difficulties that come with change provides a certain depth to this story it needs."
