Royal Chambers

Liam's Thoughts/POV

Thinking back to yesterday...

The traitor was found, named, and arrested. Bastien...

Interpol Director Ryerson and his team uncovered an elaborate web of deception that was set in motion by my father, all those years ago.

Bastien was complicit at every turn; with insider information. With access to everything. To anyone.

Once my father was gone, who did he answer to?

It was supposed to be me, his monarch. But it wasn’t.

Finally, getting sloppy, he was caught orchestrating the jailbreak of a prisoner by the royal guard’s second in command, Bastien’s top lieutenant. Who, to his credit, in turn disclosed his concerns to his friend Drake. Drake, loyal to the crown, revealed the breach to the Royal Council.

Bastien has been charged with treason; now named a criminal being held in confinement in a jail cell in France.

A criminal, that past Kings would have executed by their own hand for the crime committed, treason.

It didn’t stop there.

After the realization of the betrayal, by a man sworn to protect him, and his family, there was the added bonus of the discovery of a possible sister.

Tossing and turning, sleep evaded his night.

As Liam stared into darkness his mind kept replaying the events of the day over and over again. The memories of Director Ryerson’s words, “Her name is Lena Eleanor Rys,” and “apprehended by the Royal Guard, that was later released by Bastien Lykel”, on repeat.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Fuck!!!

His mind would not let his body sleep.

He looked down at his wife, his queen, curled into his side, peacefully asleep.

A woman that took the revelations in stride. Sure, she was livid about Bastien’s treachery...but, she wasn’t surprised.

Riley knew, all too well, that Bastien followed the command of his monarch, without question.

So instead of getting emotional, she turned her anger into resolve; determined to find answers.

She is my inspiration. My partner in everything.

Kissing the top of her head, he carefully moved her arm as he sat up.

Liam left his chambers with plans of going down to the gym to work out and de-stress. Moving down the hall, he passed by Ellie’s chamber. Peering through the small opening of her door, he saw Chance sleeping at the foot of her bed. Her guard, stationed outside her door, bowed to Liam as he continued down the hall.

***

Across from the Royal east wing, Leo sat on his terrace in the west wing of the palace, long into the night, also unable to sleep. He’d spent most of it watching the stars and thinking about what he and his brother had learned from the Interpol director.

...and thought about how much he wanted to personally punish Bastien for his duplicity and deception.

It was strange to think that they had a possible sister. It felt like some kind of twisted fairy tale. One thing was for sure...his father was a selfish and cruel man. How could he do something like this? Why did he knowingly want to hurt Liam with deception?

What did his father do to make life so miserable for his own mother to leave him behind? Sure, the court members were vipers. But his father had all the power to protect and shield her.

He thought back to when he first met Queen Eleanor, his stepmother.

She was so sweet and kind. She was always smiling and happy even though she was married to my bastard father. She genuinely made me feel wanted and part of the family. True to form, Constantine didn’t protect Liam’s mother either.

lost my mother and my stepmother.

Leo raised his glass, finishing the last of the scotch, when his laptop chimed signaling an incoming video chat.

“Hey baby!” Leo said as soon as the video came up.

“Hello there handsome,” Queen Amalas smiled at him.

Leo returned the smile, “I have missed you.”

Amalas sighed, “I have missed you too. When are you coming home to me?”

“Soon. I need to be here a while longer. Once my brother has everything in place with the new head of the Royal guard, I will join in the search for our half-sister in Monterisso.”

“...and then, you are all mine. No more distractions will separate us?”

Amalas somberly asked.

"Why are you like this?", Leo asked pointedly. “I am not used to you being so ‘clingy’.”

Amalas looked into the camera and sighed. “I don’t know. After everything I have gone through with Olivia, I don’t want to be a secret, or an afterthought anymore.”

“Baby, I promise you that you are in my thoughts constantly. I would give anything to be with you right now in person.” Leo smiled genuinely.

“I miss you terribly,” Amalas confessed. “How do you always know the right things to say?”

“It’s part of my charm.” Leo winks and suggestively says, “get lots of rest baby, because when I get to your palace, I will wear you out in the best way possible.”

***

It was 5:30 am, when Liam returned to his chambers after completing an intense workout. Moving into the bathroom, he stripped out of his shorts and turned on the shower.

Standing underneath the shower stream of hot water, Liam felt his body begin to relax as a sense of relief washed over him. His eyes closed and he let out a sigh, feeling like all the tension had now been released from his muscles.

Not hearing Riley enter the shower behind him, he was pleasantly surprised to feel a pair of hands move over his back, massaging in slow soothing strokes. She moved her hands down to his ass squeezing and kneading with firm pressure before moving around to his front brushing against his hardening shaft.

Liam groaned, “Riley, love...this water is too hot for you and the babieser.” He gently grasped her hands and turned to face her, blocking the flow of water.

Riley reached up to stroke his cheek, resting her head on his chest.

“I love you Liam, so much.” She felt him smile against her palm and then his kiss pressed her palm.

“...and I love you,” he whispered in her ear.

“We need to get out of this steam.” Liam gently turned Riley around to leave the shower. Taking his hand, she led him into the bedroom.

“You know,” she said as they walked, “I don’t think we have time for a morning sex session.”

“No?” he feigned surprise. “Are you sure about that?” Liam teased.

Riley smirked, shaking her head as she pulled him down to sit on the edge of the bed. Stepping between his legs, Riley knelt down in front of him. Looking up at him through her lashes, "this Is a little something to tide you over till after the meeting, Your Majesty.”

Liam quirked his brow, “oh, really?”

“Yes, I want you all to myself this evening so that we can really enjoy each other when everyone is gone, uninterrupted,” she purred.

***

King’s Study, Royal Council

Drake was the second member to arrive at the Royal council meeting. He walked in with a smile and took his seat next to Hana at the boardroom table. He noticed that she seemed to be nervous and was curious to find out why.

“Good morning, Hana. It’s great to see you here.”

“Hello Drake, thank you. Can I ask you something?”

“Sure, what’s up?”

“Is Neville a part of this council?”

Drake grinned, “Do you really think that Riley would give him any voice and make him a member? Why do you ask?”

Before she could answer, Director Ryerson and Officer Cossoy entered followed by Leo and Rashad. As the remaining council members took their seats, Hana whispered, “Neville found out that I am back in Cordonia, and wants to meet with me.”

“Oh, what a desperate motherfu...,” Drake chuckled. “Give me the word and I’ll kick his ass for you.”

Hana grinned, “thank you. I hope it doesn’t come to that.”

Riley entered next, followed by Liam, each taking their seats at the head of the long table.

As the royal guard closed the doors, The Interpol officers began the meeting to present the status of the investigations, and to answer any questions.

After the long 3 hour presentation ended, Liam stood to formally thank the Interpol officers for the update and asked the council members to remain.

Liam continued, “we need to plan a trip to Monterisso.”

***

Sitting at the dining table, Ellie waited patiently for her nanny to spread butter on her brioche roll. The wait staff bowed to Riley as she entered the room. “Mmmm...something smells so good,” Riley said as she took her place alongside her daughter, unfolding a cloth napkin on her lap.

“I do not know what it is, but I would like some please,” Ellie asked excitedly.

“Daddy will be here soon, sweetheart.” Riley said with a smile and kissed her little girl’s forehead. “Tell me about your day, what were your lessons about?”

Before she could answer, she heard Liam greet the chef in the hall.

“Daddy! Ellie exclaims.

“Well, hello, my princess.” Liam bent down to kiss her cheek.

“I learned about spelling words, and we read stories today.”

Liam kissed Riley on the lips next and moved to his chair,

“Ewww, Daddy!” Liam let out a deep laugh.

“When you are married one day, you will like kisses.” Riley laughed at Liam’s expression to that comment.

“That won’t happen for a long, long time, princess.” Liam shot Riley a look, and she chuckled.

Under the table, Riley ran her foot up Liam’s leg. He sat back smiling at his wife.

“You are in so much trouble Ri...just wait till later." His voice barely a whisper.

“Ellie, what would you say to going on a trip to visit Micaela?” Riley asked, changing the subject.

“Oh yes, mommy!” Ellie happily clapped her hands.

***

Riley sat at her dressing table, brushing her long chestnut hair. Anticipating Liam to join her soon, she felt her heartbeat quicken when she heard his voice speaking to the guard posted outside their chambers.

She rose from her stool, to check her reflection one more time and walked out onto the balcony. The night air was crisp, and she shivered as a cool breeze blew her hair. She leaned against the railing overlooking the garden below.

“There you are.... You are so beautiful.” He pulled her into his arms for a kiss that left her breathless. Liam pressed himself closer against her body, feeling her curves beneath the thin silk of her chemise. He could feel his desire rising as he looked down at her, admiring the softness of her skin and the peaks of her nipples under the silk. He moved her straps down her shoulders, and lowered his head slowly and took one of her breasts in his mouth, sucking on it gently. Riley moaned softly as his warm tongue brushed over her sensitive nipple.

“Oh God!” she cried out in surprise when she felt him slip his hand between her legs and yank her chemise down between her legs. Riley gripped Liam’s biceps as he slid his fingers along her wet pussy lips. He slipped two fingers into her and began to pump them in and out. Riley whimpered in pleasure, grinding her hips against his hand as she succumbed to her orgasm.

Liam was now rock hard and throbbing as he spun Riley around to take her from behind. It didn’t take long for Liam to find his release.

Climbing into bed, both sated, they fell into a deep, restful slumber wrapped together.

reminding myself of things I liked in twin peaks the return because I'm disheartened by the ending

gordon's more realistic/modern depiction of hearing aids. Especially the turning up and down depending on the situation. It makes more sense that he's finally able to not be shouting constantly. Unrelated but the way he shouts to hear himself in all canon reminds me of my grandma who does that sometimes.

Diane's "fuck you (name)". I can just imagine her passive aggression in the office when she worked there but having a soft spot for coop. (Even if I don't care much for the romance also they're very sweet together for the brief like. Two scenes where they're actually okay together)

sonny-jim. he's like maybe one of the most understanding about his dad's disability tbh

Cooper's love for coffee still showing through the amnesia via reaching out for coffee with both hands and slurping as quickly as possible. I think I've done it with chocolate milk before :')

Matthew Lillard's performance

The mafia(?) Mobster (?) Brothers who despite their intro and the fact they plan to kill Dougie are like. Just nice guys ???

Hawk and Margaret's interactions. Especially The Last One which made me tear up. like. God these two were good friends.

Ed and Norma finally otp fr 🥰🥰🥰

Bobby being well adjusted but still kinda goofy. (No acknowledgement that he killed a guy but he's in law enforcement? I haven't read all the supplementary material yet )

GOD. Ben Horne being the long suffering well adjusted dude. It's such a contrast to his scheming in the original series. He's just Normal but also still retains his personality? Idk how to explain it. I always liked him in a villain way and it's nice to see his redemption just ended up with. Normal? I guess. Idk how to make it make sense.

JERRY BEING A WEED BUSINESS MAN

JERRY GETTING LOST IN THE WOODS WHILE HIGH

Mr. C/ Evil Coop was so amazing. I hated him and loved him. I do wish there were more hints of the insanity from the Hows Annie scene but the arm wrestling scene where he's like "this position is more comfortable don't you think.?" Is such a good scene.

Frank Truman's patience. "no this is his brother, Frank."

The scene with Andy and Lucy buying the seat for their study is such fucking domestic love I've ever scene. It reminded me of my parents like 10 years ago.

The way that the original music was used very carefully because this show is more quiet in terms of background music that it's like oh god.

Bobby's reaction to seeing Lauras evidence all over the table because 1. It's a contrast to his reaction at the funeral which was mostly anger 2. How else would you react to seeing all the literal evidence from you hs girlfriends murder case ?

Norma and Shellys relationship

Shelly getting on the front of that car. Milf moments. (Oh god saying that-)

Despite what follows after; Coopers triumphet return....(the return.?) Is great.

Anyway there's lots of stuff I liked despite things. Feel free to add your own likes in a reblog cause I missed tons of things obvs :)

The Trickster Trio

Oh, this is going to be a long one, we have both Ace and Neon with Keiwa here.

I'll be addressing the relationship this trio have with each other.

This trio's dynamic is so interesting. The first among them to meet was Keiwa and Neon, both trying to escape the Jamato attack, then Ace comes to their rescue, literally in Neon's case, where Ace flirts with the both of them, before the show no homo-ed it and made it seem like he was only gunning for Neon.

From then on, this trio grew together as they did on their own. The trust behind the three of them is impeccable despite the many underhanded things Ace has done to the two of them.

There was that one time where Keiwa's trust in Ace wavered but Neon was there to provide context and made Keiwa believe in Ace again.

Keiwa and Neon is one I've been shipping the most. I'm partial to other ships, so long as they're not inc*sti*us, I guess you could say that it's my OTP - One True Pair.

I don't particularly care for canonicity, If they don't become canon, fanfics are there to save the day.

Keiwa and Neon have a very wholesome relationship. He's the first one to treat Neon as a human being, when even her parents fail to do so, she's literally the only recipient of the Boost Buckle that Keiwa have given up willingly. He doesn't let fame blind him into treating Neon as his equal, a fellow newb - now veteran - of the DGP.

Keiwa didn't even let the new information about her, that was revealed by Beroba, taint how he viewed her.

Keiwa's the only person who gave her options, options to choose on how she'll proceed after Beroba's reveal. Go with Kyuun to the future, or stay with the Sakurais.

In the same way, with Keiwa, Neon is able to be herself. She did not second guess to admonish Keiwa for giving her empty words when she was at her lowest during the zombie game.

She was immediately comfortable with using his first name despite him being four years younger than him, that is how comfortable she feels around him.

Keiwa and Ace is another complicated relationship between the characters. Ace embraced his fox motif and tricked Keiwa multiple times and that trickery almost cost Keiwa's life. He made a show of motivating him only to betray him at the last moment just to get the buckle.

I don't care whether that move was necessary or not, that was a shitty thing to do.

Luckily for Ace, as mentioned above, Neon was there to mitigate the damage Ace has done to their relationship, the way Ace is instrumental to Keiwa's being reinstated as a player of the DGP also helps heal the fractured relationship that has went stronger and stronger as time came.

Then came the reveal.

As stated in Daichi's entry, Keiwa can forgive the people who wronged him but if they hurt his family, he has a hard time forgiving the people responsible and this caused another fracture into their relationship, and with Neon out of the loop, she can't mitigate the damage both of them inflicted onto their relationship.

In the end, Keiwa and Ace were able to reconcile and repair the damage they have done to their relationship, and maybe, just maybe, it even strengthened it.

One thing I really dislike is how the both of them abandoned Keiwa in the snake's pit when he lost his sister. I do not care however you interpreted that or what possible reasons are there, the fact of the matter is that the both of them abandoned him.

Regardless of whether there is a chance Keiwa wouldn't do what he did in canon or will still do it, they abandoned Keiwa.

That abandoning is not demonizing them, its simply a flaw in their actions and reasoning.

the riddler for character asks!

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

Favorite thing about them: Bruh, he is a villain who use enigmas and puzzles?? That'ts like one of my favourite things ever! Do you know how many times I played the Professor Layton games lmao

Least favorite thing about them: Uh, maybe his design in his first apparitions and Batman Forever? Or the fact that he changed hgis name to "Ashton" in some comics (goodbye my dear pun...) Honestly the Batman's Villains are usually one of the best things in DC Comics

Favorite line: This is always hard to choose so here are 2 I love

"'Stealing' is such an unpleasant word. I prefer 'acquiring.' It's much more aesthetically pleasing to the tongue."

"And they say I'm the one with the ego. It's not always about you, Batman."

BrOTP: Him and the Penguin or him and Gordon in Gotham (haven't watched all of the show, I didn't like it but I like them from what I remember)

OTP: Riddler x Penguin

NOTP: I dunno tbh

Random headcanon: Transman, transman, OF COURSE HE IS TRANS HIS NAME IS "ENIGMA"!! (Ed(ward) Nygma = Enigma!!)

Unpopular opinion: I don't know if it's unpopular but I think Cory Michael Smith did a pretty nice job when playing him.

Song i associate with them: So, remember when I talked about Professor Layton lmao

youtube

Favorite picture of them: I think he looks cool in the first pic and I love his actor and his glasses in the tv show lol

okay so i talked earlier about ed's masking and how it influences how he doesnt really know who he is, but the few times the mask really slips are usually when he's talking to izzy or stede about being bored

and more than that, i was discussing an earlier comment i'd made, which @treesofgreen picked up on and further commented on, that break up robe!Ed (talent shows, quitting piracy for good etc) shouldn't be his final form because that isn't him either (it is, in fact, as she pointed out, Stede)

but i want to talk about what i think ed's issue is and what his final form might end up being

To begin with, we have a few comments from episode 4. The first is he tells Izzy he's bored of "make a plan, execute the plan, make another plan, execute another plan" and so on, but when he talks to Stede about it later on, he hones in on a separate point all together: the name Blackbeard precedes him. He doesn't have to even be on the ship; someone sees that flag, Blackbeard's flag, and immediately they surrender.

Then, over the course of the next few episodes we watch him run fuckeries and raids, enjoy being a pirate, get turned over to the English etc, and he seems happy. He's having a good time.

Later, when he's on the beach, he says he's happy to be Just Ed, that he gets to figure out what makes him happy, and he says that the last few weeks have been the most fun he's had in years, maybe ever, and he figures that what makes him happy is Stede.

And before you all come and stab me with pointy things, I love these two. Blackbonnet otp all the way, Stede definitely makes Ed happy, Ed loves him, Stede loves Ed etc etc

but.

I don't think it's just Stede that made Ed happy, and I don't think that had they run away together to China that they would have been happy. And I think Ed knows it isn't just Stede that made these past weeks happy for him, else it would've been okay to stay at that base a little longer than one night, folding clothes and whatever else, because they would've been together. He knew that just that alone wasn't it, it wasn't the key. He's just confusing the fun he's had with the love he feels (which makes sense! We all do that).

I think what made him happy, beyond the fact he loves Stede and was enjoying their time together, is the life Stede created around them both. Stede's ship was pathetic and weak and had one good pirate on board before Ed came along, and then Ed came along and they had five good pirates, a captain who knows nothing about sailing, and a crew of ridiculous personalities that somehow work but are definitely not good pirates so far. Stede's crew couldn't fight off the Spanish. Stede's flag doesn't fill the enemy with so much fear they just immediately surrender. Stede's life is exciting and full of random happenstances and not everything is already a given, especially without Izzy there to make plans.

Which leads me to my thesis statement here which is that I think Ed's actual final form should be: co-captaining a pirate ship with Stede, letting go of the Blackbeard mantle to "just be Ed", except Ed gets to be a pirate, and Ed gets the adrenaline rush of raids, and the excitement of planning, without it being a well-oiled machine that always wins.

And yes, that might include Izzy (even the finest honed plan wouldn't be a given with the crew they have), but it definitely involves more games of chance and more possibilities of defeat.

Moreover, Stede ran away from his boring little life to become a pirate a few weeks ago (I really thought the show was quite a few months, but I think it was only a couple?? Somehow we just get full moons every other night (it's "tomorrow" in episode 4, today in episode 5 which must have been a few days later at least because Stede is fully recovered, and then tomorrow again in episode 8, which implies three months) in ofmd land and that's fine). He's hardly going to want to stop doing his dream he's finally achieved and run away to live a boring domestic pauper's life with Ed. Run away with Ed? Sure. Be as happy like that as he was on the ship with him? Ehh. No, I don't think so, at least not right now.

Anyway I think the final form is sailing the high seas, conducting chaotic raids and going to party boats, and swapping out flags every few months so no one ever knows its them.

I just hope the beard comes back.

Lets go with Izzy for the ask game

favorite thing about them

He constantly thinks he is about to win and does mean things and then is shocked when the joke is on him, every single time. Like. He's so much fun as an antagonist. I love watching him ruin his own day again and again.

least favorite thing about them

He is such a miserable fucking bastard.

favorite line

"Oooh daddy, daddy." Because he looks so horrified with himself after. It makes me cringe out of my skin and yet its so funny.

brOTP

Izzy/Chauncey brOTP for life. These worthless evil men are a friend pair.

OTP

None. None one should love this man.

nOTP

Ed/Izzy, Stede/Izzy, Ed/Izzy/Stede

random headcanon

He doesn't have a background in poverty or anything. He was in the navy and things went downhill, and now he's a pirate. He's not too torn up about it.

unpopular opinion

Well, apparently most of them considering the people who kept using my name lol, but I think and maintain that he started working with Ed long after they were both adults, and had nothing to do with the creation of Blackbeard. I also think he's never confessed his love to Ed because I don't think he knows he's in love.

song i associate with them

Uhhhh Toxic is too good a song to associate with him but man is he that.

favorite picture of them

Ed, Olu

(character ask game)

ooh okay I'll start with Oluwande and put Ed under the cut because I can't help being a bitch about him sorry

how I feel about the character: I used to not really like him that much because I thought he was too nice, but I've since gotten into the awkward energy of lines like "I'm gonna try to undo some of the damage from that interaction" and now I think he's pretty cool. OTP: Tealoranges, of course. (Is that the generally accepted ship name for Jim/Oluwande? it's the one I've been using). OT3: I'm intrigued by Jim/Oluwande/Spanish Jackie. NOTP: Honestly shipping him with anyone other than Jim would just feel wrong to me, but I guess the worst would be Oluwande/Stede. favorite bromance: Frenchie. Their whole thing in episode 5 was so good. favorite family dynamic: When the whole crew unanimously votes him as captain. He was only captain for like half a second but I love the way they all trusted him to lead them and we'd better get more of that in season 2. favorite canon thing about them: I'm not quite sure how to put this, but he just has good vibes. Whenever he's on screen it just feels nice to see him there. So I guess my favorite canon thing about him is just that he's there lol. favorite headcanon: He was trying to get with Jim for months before they killed Jackie's husband and the two of them had to run away, they just didn't pick up on it at all until they were in a life-threatening situation. Like there's no way he would be good at flirting and you know Jim would be into mortal peril.

how I feel about the character: I hate him. I've actually done a lot of introspection as to why and I think the main reason is that I envy him--why does he get to be such a whiny, emotional, annoying, sad, pathetic, crybaby little bitch and still be loved when I never did? I know that's wrong and I'm trying to get over it though. (that being said I do also just find his general mannerisms annoying too. that bit in episode 4 where he's trying to show Izzy the model ship when Izzy obviously doesn't care is so grating on me) OTP: That post I reblogged a while ago going "I love blackbonnet because I wouldn't want to inflict them on anyone else" was so true. OT3: The only option I can even think of is steddyhands, and while I used to be kind of into them I'm not anymore, so I'll just make one up and say Spanish Jackie/Ed/Jim because he needs two terrifying people to keep him steady. NOTP: I'm tempted to say blackhands just because Izzy is my favorite character and I don't want him with my least favorite, but I do sometimes get into the tragedy of them so I think I'll go with Ed/Frenchie, just because I've actually seen that one and it does not do it for me. favorite bromance: uhh I guess the friendship that once existed between him and Izzy in my mind? favorite family dynamic: I love how his mom tried preparing him for the harsh realities of life and ended up unwittingly reinforcing harmful beliefs that would haunt him well into middle age. That was so real. favorite canon thing about them: He is very sexy with the beard and the leather, I'll give him that. favorite headcanon: He, like Frenchie, is deathly afraid of cats. I just think that would be funny.

brOTP: Zordon and Alpha.

OTP: N/A

nOTP: Zordon with any of his rangers, Alpha, Evil characters.

random headcanon: The comics aside, Eltar did have their own set of Power Rangers that protected the planet. He was the leader of his team during the war against Rita Repulsa.

unpopular opinion: I kinda don’t want to see Zordon’s humanoid form? Like it ruins the imagination, but that’s just me.

song i associate with them: N/A

favorite picture of them: N/A

send me a character and i’ll list:

Zedd

favorite thing about them: He’s evil and knows when to lay down the law. Zedd is terrifying in battle and in the magical arts.

favorite line: “My name is Zedd! Lord Zedd, not Ed!” I feel this so much.

brOTP: Zedd and Goldar. Neither get paid enough to deal with this.

OTP: Zedd and Rita. Yeah, yeah I know but…c’mon. They accomplished SO much together compared to them being separated.

nOTP: N/A

random headcanon: Originally, Zedd was a simple librarian that fell into darkness once becoming seduced by the dark arts, and become so terrifyingly powerful due to his combined knowledge and deep understanding of magic, and the Grid.

brOTP: Chase and Shelby, Chase and Koda.

OTP: Chase x Tyler. I think they fit together.

favorite picture of them

send me a character and i’ll list:

Amelia

Alrighty, rolling up to the ask box drive-thru: can I get a number 2, 9, and a number 13 please and thanks.

Here's the post so you don't have to go hunting for it XD: https://www.tumblr.com/wickermayne/705360299468963840/get-to-know-my-shipping-preferences-ships?source=share

Fyi, I was hungry af when I wrote this, lol, wonder if you can tell. Might've sipped too much on the screwdriver but hey 😂gotta live a little right?

I'll hush now 😂

Thanks for the ask Sessakag 🥰

2. List 3 shipping tropes you don’t love

Unrequited Love/Unhappy ending. I can't stand unhappy endings 😭 I'm not shipping to have my feelings hurt!

Body Swap: I just find this one a bit icky (although I love Your Name...😅) but normally I'm not into using body swap as a shipping trope.

Love Triangles: I don't even like triads much, but that's much more preferable to love triangle for me. I like drama in a relationship, but only when it's between the two main characters. The third wheeler can piss off 😂.

9. Do you always have romantic ships for fandoms?

I would say more often than not, yes I do, but it really depends on the fandom and how involved I'm in it. Also, I might have an inkling of a feeling like "Oh, they would be good together" but not really care if there is romance in the source material at all. Naruto and Harry Potter (and a little bit of Bleach) are the only fandoms I searched fanfics and fanart of ships for, as an example. But, yeah, I'd say it's pretty natural for me to form some sort of ship when I get into a fandom.

13. List 5 OTPs from past fandoms

Other than Naruto and HP it's a bit hard, but here's what I can think of! Not listed in any order, and I tried to use one ship from a franchise.

Alphonse Elric/Winry Rockbell (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Alphonse was always my favourite character from the series, and even though the Ed/Win ship was so obvious from the beginning, I liked this one better, probably because I always loved Alphonse and liked Winry more than Mei. Also in the non-canon movie Emperor of Shambala, they have a good about of interactions without Ed around so that always reinforced the ship for me.

2. Kumiko Yamaguchi/Shin Sawada (Gokusen)

Gokusen is my all time favourite manga and this is the canon ship in it (although it's not a romance fic and it all happens near the end/in the epilogue/special chapters). Kumiko is the grand daughter of a Yakuza boss and decides to become a high school teacher, and Shin is her surly student. Shin is always supporting her when she needs help the most and even though the romance isn't really a focus of the manga, what's there is great.

3. Byakuya Kuchiki/Yoruichi Shihouin (Bleach)

I never thought about this pairing until Turn Back the Pendulum, but seeing such a petulant version of Byakuya and how Yoruichi knows just how to rile him up made me instantly like the idea of this.

4. Zuko/Katara (Avatar the Last Air Bender)

Zuko is my favourite character from the series, loved his growth, and I also liked how bull-headed and stubborn Katara could be at times. Just thought they fit well together.

5. Yusuke Urameshi/Keiko Yukimura (Yu Yu Hakusho)

I can't think of anything to say, it's been a long time since I've seen the series, but I love them all them same!

Thanks again for the ask Sessakag!

I'm doing two for the ask game bc I couldn't decide lol, so:

Lucius and Ed?

Omg let's go AAA!!!!

Lucius💁🏻🌈

Favourite thing about him: he's a wonderful play on the sassy twink stereotype, by far the sweetest character despite trying to act like he doesn't care. Also - he's specifically giving me "gay millennial" and I'm a gay millennial myself so I have someone to latch onto in the show 🥰😆

Least favourite thing about him: the fact that I don't know whether he knows how to swim!!!!!!

Favourite line:

There are SO MANY, but it has to be the one that actually prompted me to watch the show:

brOTP: I think he would get along well with Jim. Together with them, Frenchie and Ed they could pull THE best fuckeries anyone has ever seen, and steal so much money while they're at it.

OTP: He and Pete. They are a set!!!! Do NOT separate!!!!!

nOTP: probably Ed and Stede? I could see him romancing everyone but them really. Would be weird. Those are his dads (metaphorically) for crying out loud!!!!

Random headcanon: i have several!!!!!! But my favourite is that he's somehow connected to the real pirate Francis Spriggs (whether they're related or Lucius will start using the name Francis after he comes back from the dead). Given the themes already present in the show I think he's more likely to come back with a new alias. But we'll see. Personally I think it's likely something like that will happen. Why else have Lucius be one of the few main characters with a canonical last name?

Unpopular opinion: here's a random thought - I think he would get along with Mary. Idk whether that's an unpopular opinion?

Song I associate with them:

In an ideal world Lucius would reappear just as a distant It's Britney, bitch can be heard from above.

Favourite picture of them:

Nathan Foad face of all time innit. He's just sooo fuckin animated. He's pulling so many amazing faces throughout the show, but this one has to be my favourite, especially given the context of the scene. It's the face that says "you're not doing great, are you?". Amazing.

Ed 🗡️🥺

Favourite thing about him: the aesthetic. It's Taika Waititi in leather! And a crop top! With a knee brace!!!

Least favourite thing about him: idk honestly. I guess I don't have a read on him yet. He's kinda all over the place while all of it feels calculated. He's not my favourite character on the show overall, but he's? okay? otherwise.

Favourite line:

What makes Ed happy is you. Easy.

brOTP: Idk, probably Frenchie and Jim? If they don't kill each other first, they could get along nicely I think.

OTP: Steddyhands.

nOTP: Ed x anyone who isn't Izzy or Stede. Even Calico Jack, just. Nah. Would be weird.

Random headcanon: idk honestly, I haven't thought about it all that much. I do think he likes the scent of flowers other than lavender, especially roses.

Unpopular opinion:

I don't know that I have any? I guess?

Song I associate with him:

Favourite picture of him:

He's sooo pretty like?????

tag 9 people you want to get to know better!

you're the sweetest, @givefangapuppy !

Three Ships of All Time:

Ed/Stede: I mean, no question. They haunt my every hour. I love their love with all my might, mind, and soul. Because of them I'm writing for the first time in decades. Overly verbose meta! Fic of dubious quality! I'm all in, baby!

Clark Kent/Lex Luthor (Smallville): I can't not. I still think of these boys on the regular. True story - I turned in some CLex fanfic I had written with the names swapped for aliases for my final project for my senior creative writing seminar in English, because my prof was the kind of jackass who had "poet" listed as his specialty on his office door but couldn't recognize haikus when I submitted them earlier in the class, and I was damned if I was going to waste my time on something new for him instead of focusing on my senior thesis in psychology. I got As on both ;). Also, my wife and I met by writing CLex fan fic together. We will have been 20 years in March.

Juno Steel/Peter Nureyev (Penumbra Podcast): Hardboiled enby space detective with crippling insecurities that they mask with hypercompetency and witty quips? and their complicated homme-fatale master thief sometimes-lover? This show seriously ticks all my boxes.

First Ever Ship:

The Baroness/Destruo (G.I. Joe): I'd say this was a tie with my Lady J/Duke/Flint/Scarlett love-quadrangle, but I honestly don't remember whether that was in the text of the show, or just the shows I'd stage for myself with my brother's action figures. What can I say? I started shipping young. My 3rd grade teacher commented on one of my writing assignments that I should write soap operas when I grew up.

Last Song:

Burning by Alcazar. Sometimes a girl just wants to dance alone in her living room.

Last Film:

Free Guy. Guilty pleasure. Comfort movie.

Currently Reading:

Aunts Aren't Gentlemen by P.G. Wodehouse. Guilty pleasure. Comfort author. Wodehouse is my brain candy, my absolute fav. author (yes, I know I said 'House of Leaves' by Danielewski is my fav. book. I'm complicated), and I rarely go more than a few months without a re-read. This isn't one of my all-time faves, but it's delightful nonetheless and it's been awhile since I read it last. Bertie retires to the peace of a simple country living at the urgings of his doctor after coming down with a minor rash, but still manages to get himself tangled up in crime due to the machinations of his Aunt Dahlia and accidentally engaged to a local stunner against his will. Jeeves/Wooster would have made it into my OTP list above except Jeeves would never permit himself the liberty. :(

(Except, hear me out - "Jeeves and the Tie that Binds" was the American release of "Much Obliged, Jeeves", and is identical except for the ending, in which Jeeves reveals that he destroyed the pages enumerating Bertie's peccadillos from the Junior Ganymede club book - FOR WHICH HE COULD BE BLACKBALLED FROM THE CLUB -, because he doesn't want anyone but him to ever be Bertie's gentleman's personal gentleman but him, because there is a "tie that binds" them. I mean to say, really!)

Currently Watching:

The Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Look. I have a 10-year-old. He loved ladybugs as a toddler so we started watching the show together when he was wee based on the title alone. But it's actually SO GOOD. And the new season recently dropped on Disney +. I get to talk to my kid about how it's a metaphor for how bad actors in the world exploit feelings of fear and isolation to radicalize otherwise normal people to their destructive agendas? And how there's real heroics to be found in community organization and creative problem solving? And about issues of consent, both romantic and platonic?

But also I have OPINIONS and SHIPS, and I'm DYING to talk to someone who is NOT my child about how Nathalie just SLAMMED Gabriel face down on the kitchen counter and leaned over him to hiss in his ear about how he betrayed her and I am IN TO IT, but I will NOT go anywhere near the fandom because I don't need the drama of being in a kid-show fandom as a full-ass adult. Send help.

Currently Consuming:

Some cucumber/lemon-infused water.

Currently Craving:

I mean, other than another grown-ass person to indulge my not-kid-friendly thoughts about a superhero cartoon? Feeling pretty satiated, thanks!

Tagging:

If you're down for it, my v. dears - @nicnacsnonsense @tisziny @chocolatepot @the-orange-in-red-silk @wearfinethingsalltoowell @okayestokapi @asneakyfox @batsarebetterthanpeople @red-sky-in-mourning and anyone else who feels so inclined ;)

Manifesting OFMD second season by writing down my ever growing wishlist of things I want to see in the future:

- LUCIUS IS ALIVE

- Stede Bonnet, berserker era.

- The Queen Anne’s Revenge, either being captured or coming back as the ship Ed left behind when he went to The Revenge.

- The Blockade of Charleston (and make really absurd).

- Anne Bonny and Mary Read (as middle aged women who kinda mirror Ed and Stede, but they did it right)

- Since he was already mentioned in s1, it would make sense introducing Hornigold, maybe as a new antagonist or something.

- A rip off of that wwdits episode with the Vampire Council, except this time is the Pirate Council and its members are pirates from other movies and shows*

- On that note, a really weird episode with every person who has played Blackbeard in recent years**

- More women and more asian characters. And more people speaking their mother tongues.

- Ed finding out about Stede’s death and believing it.

- Ed meeting Mary and getting along.

- Frenchie adopting a cat (and singing a song about it).

- More info about everyone’s pasts.

- I was going to name some people who should make a cameo but I'd never be able to stop.

- I would LOVE having Bartholomew Roberts in the show. He invented the pirate code, he's supposed to have been really into fine things and clothes and tea, didn’t drink alcohol, and he was Welsh (just the other day I saw someone’s post asking for more welsh accents in pirate movies/shows). He could be used for that sitcom trope where one of the otp starts dating someone new who is just like the other half of the otp and everyone notices it but them.

*Possible council members, most of them only possible in my wildest dreams:

- Geena Davis as Morgan from Cutthroat Island

- Someone from Black Sails

- Someone from PoTC (Keira Knightley or Geoffrey Rush would be awesome)

- Robert De Niro as Captain Shakespeare from Stardust

- Cary Elwes or Mandy Patinkin as the Dread Pirate Roberts (now that I think it... I’ll include this up in the previous list). If it was Mandy Patinkin it'd have the bonus point of seeing Jim with Iñigo Montoya <3

- I would literally die if Tim Curry showed up, but it’s highly unlikely due to his health issues. So maybe the puppet they made for him could show up?

- Was Kabir Bedi famous in the US? Because that would also be an awesome cameo (although he must be old as fuck at this point, and I’m aware no one remembers Sandokan these days)

- Eddie Lizzard as Long John Silver from this movie, but bringing in her genderfluid identity.

- JASON ISAACS AS HOOK? (the only reason I’ve watched that movie)

- It seems Rhys Ifans also played Hook. How many Hooks are they?

- There was also a Hook in OUAT, but I’m not a fan.

- I’ve just found out that Brian Blessed voiced the Pirate King here, and since every show or movie is improved by Brian Blessed presence, I’d say yes please.

- Kevin Kline was also a pirate king once.

**People who played Blackbeard (I just did some research for this, and there are way more than I’ve expected):

- Ray Stevenson <3

- Angus MacFadyen

- Mark Bonnar

- Ian McShane

- James Purefoy

- Hugh Jackman ????

- OMG JOHN MALKOVICH???

- The original maori Blackbeard

- This guy in this thing

- This other guy
