Why is it that my rare pair tendencies are not limited strictly to my hyperfixations of the moment but in like 99% of media that I consume? It's not fair. I just get a tiny little urge for like a day to read a fic or see an art for a specific pairing before returning to my main interest. Only to find that particular pairing that my stewpid brain had convinced itself "must be huge in this fandom because how could it NOT BE?" barely exists--if it even exists at all and I have clowned on myself yet again.

#this post is specifically about gwydion/achren from the chronicles of prydain #do you know how many fics exist for them? three and that includes both ao3 and ff.net #altho tbf there are barely any for the fandom in general #maybe a bit more for the disney black cauldron specifically #and both characters were cut from the adaptation #but still most of the little books content that exists is either gen or taran/eilonwy #which i guess isn't surprising but like my boy prince rhun deserves some love too #this is why it aggravates me that we 're in the era of a lot of high fantasy tv adaptations #yet you're all still sleeping on lloyd alexander #gwydion/achren would do NUMBERS if a big budget; high production value adaptation of the book of three dropped overnight #like imagine it with like richard armitage as gwydion and natalie dormer as achren #or maybe hannah waddingham as achren and iain glen as gwydion #you are telling me that people would not lose their minds #over this broken bird (and hot) evil queen and this jaded but very very heroic (and hot) warrior prince #who are implied to have *history* and have been drawn to each other against their better judgement #even though they are on opposite sides #and the whole part where she imprisons him and tries to get him to be her consort #(which he might even be up for if she switched sides)#like the cersei lannister girlies would be going feral and i wouldn't even blame them #and then later in the series; where the power dynamics have flipped and he's so gentle with her #and there's this beautiful sense of what perhaps once was and could maybe be again #but also can never be because doomed by the narrative and also by arawn #but idk maybe it would just be me; lloyd alexander (r.i.p. king) and like 3 other people #who's to say #ah well; back to my elena of avalor shipping crimes #gwydion x achren #chronicles of prydain
