#rarepair valentines special
Note
will you write a little Valentine's Peedy silliness? pls and thank u
this one's for all the peedy truthers in the andor shit server 🙏 you know who you are
It's a good thing, Eedy thinks as her heels clack across her Coruscant apartment back to the kitchen, that Syril is gone, that wretch. He would find a way to ruin this like he ruins nearly everything — and there will be nothing to come between her and a special evening with a distinguished guest.
She certainly won't let her son ruin it with just the thought of him.
So she pushes every last speck of him out of her mind, humming contentedly to herself as she rifles through the offerings in the cooling chamber and the conservator. She has frozen nerfburger meat, but that doesn't seem very distinguished, now does it? Her special guest can have the finest nerfburger anytime he wants. That won't make this a special evening.
Her attention turns, then, to the pantry, to a pink box of crunchies on the shelf.
Yes, she thinks, that's the answer.
There's barely enough time to grab two bowls and dole out the portions before the secret code sounds on her comlink. When you're seeing someone important, there's a code, there's special security, and a whole host of things that no ordinarily civilian would see. It makes Eedy Karn the most important person in the galaxy, and she likes it that way.
And then there's a knock, only one; Eedy immediately strides for the door, her best smile fixed in place.
"Good evening, Your Excellency."
The hooded figure standing in her threshold makes a waving motion with his hand to dismiss the troopers behind him. It's then, and only then, that he steps forward and takes her into his arms, lowering his hood and kissing her passionately.
"Please, my dear," says the voice against her lips when they finally break, warm as a cup of tea. "When we're alone, call me Sheev."

Heyo! I got a few questions for ya!
Could you give me a very basic explanation of this whole thing? I understand the Dance themes part, but the submission part is sort of confusing me a tad!
Like, What if you kinda have a good idea on the fact your rarepair will not have the most submissions?
The one i’m thinking of personally is Idia and Che’nya (The RSA Cheshire Cat character, Riddle and Treys Childhood friend, just incase y’all don’t remember) , but this could apply to any ships, I suppose!
Should one still submit something, or would it be sort of a waste?
Sorry If thats dumb question!
Have a Great Day/Night!
Hello!
The dance event is now over as it was running around Valentine's Day. The current event to look out for is the annual TWST Rarepair Week! For this week, there are no special submissions or contests. Simply create content with the prompts and post it with the #twst rarepair week tag or tag us! We will be reblogging/retweeting works like that for the duration of the event and even longer! You can check our pinned post for more information on the current event!
There will be more events to come so certainly stay tuned if rarepairs are something that interests you! Since the Dance event got some good reception, we're planning on renewing it next year.

The Chocolate Cosmos has earned its place on the list of rare flowers of the world as it has been extinct in the wild for years. The Chocolate Cosmos is a rich reddish-brown in colour and gives off a rich chocolate fragrance when it blooms, hence its name. This red flower is native to Mexico, however they no longer exist in the wild. It does not produce any seeds and needs to be grown with the help of tissue culture or root division. Technically, only clones of the original flower survive today.
Happy Valentines Day! Did I go overboard with this long-ass list? Maybe so 🤣 a special thanks to everyone who participated on the V Day poll I did a while ago; rarepair romance was the most voted option so here we are! I let myself go wild with ships and tropes, the idea was to celebrate some peak romance and I hope this list reflects the nuanced complexities of love in its many forms. There are different kinds of love here: soft and tender, devastating and all-consuming, transgressive, comforting, damning, but in all cases poignant and true. This got a bit too long but I had lots of fun putting it together. I hope everyone will be able to find nice new ships and hidden gems. Happy readings!

Play Me Like A Love Song by @writcraft (E, 68k) - McGonagall/Grubbly-Plank

I seen a few people do this on here, so I decided to try to as well. I only picked 9 because I would be here all day if I did them all in at once. Most rarepairs I want to talk about.
I'm going this in 3 parts, so today you're getting a good chunk of my Ovenbreak Exclusive ships. Let's go.
Some ships don't have clever ship names Im sorry.
HeroCroissant: They're on great terms in their Relationship chart. I can see them working together while traveling through dimensions, and Hero working on fixing his suit to make it easier when flying through vortexes. With Croissant's help, of course.
SourCurrant: Fashion designer gfs!! They would do a lot of collabs during fashion shows. Sour Belt has a special-made belt from Currant, while Currant has a leather jacket Sour made from her old works.
FireLotus: Roger and Jessica Rabbit vibes, He makes them laugh!! Fire Spirit tried to create them some fire flowers once, it kinda backfired. Lotus appreaciated it though.
Peperoncino x Blue Lily: Met one time during Peperoncino and Habenaro's wanderings. The two bonded over their strong sense to protect something they care about. I like to think Blue would take Peperoncino on dates under glowing giant mushrooms.
Captain Ice x Eggnog: I mentioned them before, and I still love them, Its a comfort ship. They're engaged, working under a long distance relationship. Eggnog would take her on ice skating dates whenever she's off work at a time. Ice loves receiving letters and phones calls from him whenever she had a hard day.
ChurroFig: Cottagecore partners. Churro loves listening to Fig's tales, maintaining the Millennial Forest Temple by himself can be lonely. Fig tend to recieve gifts from Churro, as in bracelets or flowers wreaths he used to make back in his village. Sometimes after a long day, they like to dance underneath the stars at night when its cool.
StringCoffee: Coworkers dating. String finds Coffee's clumsiness cute,even if it can be a nuisance sometimes. Coffee admires String's determination and intagrity, even though he can be a bit cold sometimes. She writes him small letters in sticky notes to cheer him up. String's is always making sure she doesnt hurt herself, down to making sure she remembers to eat during work hours.
Treenanas: A more common Ovenbreak ship, I think. Ananas finds Millennial to be one of the more "tolerable" cookies in their list. Millennial likes visiting Ananas' islands, the dragon always giving them a gift of fruit whenever they leave. Beach dates are very common, with Ananas dancing with Millennial along the water.
BeetNinja: An unexpected ship, I saw that they were together during the Valentine's day event, and now I can't stop. Beet and Ninja are pretty secretive with their relationship, not wanting really anyone to find out. When they go go on date, its always outdoors, like camping or hiking. Beet is the only one who's seen Ninja's true face, aside from his friends Muscle and Rebel.
That's all of my main Ovenbreak ships!! I have more, but again wanted to do some of my more less obvious ships.
My post on my Kingdom ships will show up later. Hope you enjoyed!!

ARC-V Month Day 22: Prismatic Rare, Prismatic Pair
@arcvmonth
How about a really rare pair, huh? This one involves Aria the Melodious Diva and Sonata the Melodious Diva! I hereby call it... Duettoshipping!
Yeah, this is the evidence of these two obviously sharing a close bond. They ascend to heaven like this. (Also Sonata is never seen without Aria, just saying) That's my evidence to classify this as "Rarepair" instead of "Nonexistentpair".
Now... This is to be Chapter 7 of Arias of Florescence: Duet of Devotion, except Ao3 got targeted by some prime losers. I HAVE to post it here first, unfortunately, because who knows when it'll get back up. So... I hope you enjoy!
(DISCLAIMER: this is the first fic I do regarding romance. I'm not super good at it but I hope I did a decent enough job.)
Arias of Florescence: Duet of Devotion
Characters: Yuzu Hiiragi, Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir, Aria the Melodious Diva, Sonata the Melodious Diva
Relationships: Duettoshipping (Aria/Sonata), Fruitshipping (Yuya/Yuzu, purely circumstancial)
Warnings: N/A
Comments and Criticisms are appreciated as always!
It was quite a normal day for Yuzu and Bloom Diva, but not without a sense of anticipation for the former: Valentine’s day was nigh, and tensions were rising for her as she had to remind herself more and more about this, as well as being reminded by others in frustrating manners to her, one such instance Bloom Diva was a witness of, and commented on, right after it ended as the two entered the pinkette’s bedroom on their own.
“Yuzu… Your temper and fanswipes regarding your relationship with Yuya are starting to be concerning.”
“Maybe, but did Dad really have to tease me about it two days in a row?!” Yuzu then sat on the bed in a huff, then changed her mind a second later and laid down instead. “I just… I just don’t know how to handle it, Bloom Diva! Just the thought of Yuya and I being together sends me into a frenzy, AND I’M NOT SURE OF WHY!”
“It is clear something is moving you, Yuzu.” The Choir remained vague, to try to calm down her companion while addressing her issue while watching her from above with her ghostly form. “Perhaps certain aspects of such thoughts are the reason for such outbursts. It is evident that you have formed a strong bond, down to the core of your selves.”
“Yeah, because we’ve been together for more than a decade and we’ve done who knows what many things together, or tried to get back together a hundred times by now!
But… I don’t know about this “love” thing!
Does it make you emotional like this? Does it stir a volcano inside your body? Does it drop your intelligence to the ground like what happens with Yugo?!”
Bloom Diva was somewhat getting worried about Yuzu’s ramblings. She clearly saw that she had feelings for Yuya, but perhaps…
“Huh…?” The pinkette calmed down, but was quite confused. “No need to rush, you say?”
“Something must be holding you back, Yuzu. No need to rush.”
“It is best to wait until the right moment. I implore you to trust me, I have some experience in the matters of love.”
“Wait… Experience?” Now, all of a sudden, Yuzu got curious. “Does that mean… You can have a special one too?”
“Well, perhaps not in this new form… But yes.” The Choir responded serenely. “Yet it is of another lovely bond that I witness every day that I speak of. That being of Aria and Sonata.”
“Aria and Sonata?” Yuzu asked to be met with a nod, then deduced: “Well, I can see that they work well together. I mean… Shortly before I finally met you like this, I didn’t see one without the other. And they sang together… But love? I didn’t expect that at all! They could have just been friends, for all I knew.”
“Yet love has blossomed between them, and theirs was truly special to witness.
Their love… Created something entirely new.”
“They… Created something new?” Yuzu wasn’t flustered anymore, and sat up, asking for: “Say… What would that be? Can you tell me?”
“I would be delighted to!” The Choir then lowered herself to Yuzu’s height and adjusted her position as if she were talking to her companion side by side. She would then start to narrate this tale:
“It all began in a very harsh, and very important moment of your life… One which we did not fully realize the scope of until much later.”
DUEL SPIRITS’ WORLD - CONSERVATORY (A WHILE AGO)
Yuzu, for what felt like the first time in a while, was fighting with something big at stake: the ownership of the You Show Duel School. After a hard fought victory by Yuya, the pinkette was defiant to the accusations of her eyes lacking luster by Masumi, her opponent. Cocky, even.
Mozarta couldn’t communicate to Yuzu at that time, so all she could do as her Maestra started to struggle was watch and attempt to face Gem-Knight Master Diamond, Masumi’s ace Monster.
However, this ended very poorly for her, as she was slashed in two by Master Diamond’s gigantic, gem-decorated hunk of metal, and came to the Conservatory’s with the slash wound still hurting her, but not nearly as much as her failing Yuzu, while lamenting the fate of her companion, Canon, who was destroyed in that same Battle Phase, and was knocked down to the floor.
As Mozarta descended, and knelt to the ground in pain, the feed from the Main Hall cut in black and everyone else rushed to Mozarta and Canon’s aid. Albeit… Aria and Sonata were there to tend to Canon already, and were greatly shocked that the Maestra joined her in defeat.
“M…Mozarta!” Aria instantly turned to the Maestra, as she was about to pick up Canon, but Mozarta responded with:
“Worry not about me…! How is Yuzu faring? Can we see her?”
“The feed was cut to black…?” Sonata too grew very worried of the situation, and Harmonia, the Composer, clarified:
“Yeah, that means there’s no one to protect her now… But she shouldn’t need to! Our opponents have all attacked this turn!”
“Harmonia is right! We need not worry!” Shopina came in, more determined. “Our Maestra may be in trouble now, but as long as one of us is called forth, we shall persist! Our Concert shall not be over!”
“We need to show that pompous brunette what for! I believe we can do it! Or Action Cards will!” Serenade grew suddenly hopeful. “I’m sure Yuzu will make a comeback! We’ll just have to wait to be called!”
…
…
But no one was called. There had been no connection for quite some time as the Melodious waited in silence and dread, fearing the absolute worst. Elegy, unfortunately, understood the situation.
“Yuzu… Yuzu has fallen… We were not able to aid her…”
Somewhat knowing what was at stake in that Duel, Mozarta’s heart sank at this realization. That struck her deeper than a Solid Vision injury ever would, clouding her mind with thoughts of doom, not aided by:
“GRAAAGH!” Canon angrily slammed her fist down as she got up, with rage bottled up in her betraying her grace on the stage. “That was the WORST TIME for that to happen-”
But as she was about to run off to the woods nearby to vent, Mozarta collapsed and was about to drop on the ground. Her massive figure was easy to catch, as all the Melodious nearby managed to catch her as everyone shouted her name.
“I’ll prepare everything in the infirmary right away!” Harmonia exclaimed, not without a hint of panic, exacerbated by her running off hastily towards the location. Without so much as a word, Aria, Sonata and Canon proceeded to carry the Maestra to get treated.
…
Some time passed, and Mozarta would surely recover from her injuries… At least, her minor physical ones. A gloomy atmosphere surrounded the conservatory, as the Fairies were saddened by Yuzu’s defeat. They couldn’t even know how it ended, but they could only assume it was incredibly harsh as the attacks appeared to have ended her on the spot, right as she thought she had the upper hand. Many couldn’t even bring themselves to sing, the only one being Elegy, as she knew about the tragedies of the world, and tried her best to hone her voice and console her friends in front of a minor, if personal tragedy, that being the Duel that just occurred.
Before Yuzu’s fateful meeting, the Melodious’ connection to this world was limited to their presence as Solid Vision Monsters, when they fought by their Maestra’s side. Harmonia found a way so that through the eyes of those on the stage the others could hear and see as they did, so they would be more knowledgeable of the world Yuzu lived in.
Aria was most worried about this, having vaguely heard about what was at stake in that Duel. She sat down on the grass near the gardens trying to ponder what Yuzu’s loss would entail, only to curl up, head on her knees, as she wallowed in disappointment. Sonata, the receptive one that she is, instantly came to her aid and sat beside her, trying to comfort her as best as she could… After all, she was also hurt by this situation.
“Hey, Aria… I know it was a rough defeat. But everything will end up alright, I’m sure of it.”
“I’m… I’m really not sure!” The bronze Diva responded, with tears somewhat altering her speech. “I don’t know exactly how, but I’ve heard the people with Masumi are taking over You Show Duel School?”
“That honestly sounds far fetched, Aria…”
“I KNOW, but I can’t just ignore that!” After that brief outburst, Aria turned her gaze towards the sky to elaborate. “It’s so frustrating to not know more about this, but… I just can’t help but feel… That our most frequent, beloved stage might be at risk… All the times we’ve gone there, all the joyous settings the Action Fields would provide, and all the times we’ve cheered up our dear Yuzu, since she was little… When we performed there, we were never worried. It was all to brighten everyone’s day, including Yuya’s… Quite a bit, whenever he felt down. It was the perfect stage for us all, and… I don’t know what will happen to it.
Will it get destroyed?
Will it stay as it is?
Will we even be able to play there?
Will it be made corporate in a dystopian wa-”
At that point, Sonata stopped her companion from rambling with a gentle hold on Aria’s shoulders, and told her:
“You’re right that we know too little… But we know a couple things. Yuzu will still be with us, and we’ll know more once she calls us again. So you don’t need to worry much, after all…
You always have me to help you.”
What Sonata didn’t quite see from that hold from behind was quite the blush on Aria’s face. It was easily missable, considering that it’s hard to see on Aria’s skin tone, but what was more noticeable for Sonata was:
“EEEP!” Aria suddenly springing upward and yelping slightly, but calming down shortly after with breathing exercises.
“Whoa, Aria… Are you OK?” Sonata gently rose up to meet with her companion, who turned to her and responded:
“Yeah… I’m OK now, thanks. I’m just… Confused, that’s all. You’re right, we should wait and see, and not lose hope.”
“Ah, I’m glad you’re back!” Sonata then waved Aria off with a warm smile and her motive was: “I’m going to see Harmonia now, she must be neck deep into her work.”
“Right… Thanks, Sonata! Later…” Aria would then breathe a sigh and spend some more time meditating, as there were… A couple things she was anxious about.
“Ahh… We NEED to get stronger, but which path can we even take?!”
Sure enough, Sonata’s suspicions were right as Harmonia was struggling with her scripts. Her face was on her desk as the situation was taking a toll on her, and Sonata came in shortly after, with a pat on the back of the Composer.
“Why all the rush, Harmonia? We have yet to see how Yuzu’s taking all of this, and yet you’ve been there ever since Mozarta was out of the Infirmary.”
“Because… If we really face duelists like Masumi in the future, then we stand no chance!” Harmonia then showed a piece of paper with schemes onto it, showing notes on the Duel that occurred. “See… If we count our numbers as Cards Yuzu used… It took us 5 Cards to get Mozarta and Canon to the Stage. That was pretty much our best effort in one turn. Meanwhile, not only did Masumi have two stronger Gem-Knights in a snap, not only could she call these Fusions forth, but her specific Fusion Spell can be used again for a small price!
And Yuzu didn’t recover from that! That must mean she could do absolutely nothing afterwards… And neither can we! That was our best and we apparently got pulverized!”
“Well… I’ll admit we couldn’t really stand up to veteran knights like them!” Sonata followed that up with a rather flustered comment. “But in the end… We don’t need to rush in order to improve.”
“And what? We’ll just stay like this until Yuzu stops dueling or some-”
“No, Harmonia. Sonata intends on partaking in this journey as well. But our paces must be the same.”
“Mozarta!”
As the Maestra interrupted Harmonia, the others would greet her back and see that she was more determined than ever.
“I had discovered the beautiful art of Fusion thanks to Cat Dancer, and this valiant Duel made me realize… There is untapped potential in both that, and us.”
“Fusion was the first thing that came to mind, of course, but there’s also this new… Pendulum thing! What does that even do? Apparently, it’s something awesome that doesn’t work?!” Harmonia started rambling on, but Mozarta was quick to stop her.
“Let us not rush to conclusions. While what Pendulum can muster is confusing and unknown to us, it was most likely Yuya not applying it well. I saw it myself… Beneath that stage bomb, there is much intriguing about it. Cat Dancer has also mentioned another tribe, the Lyriluscs, wielding a Summoning method called XYZ…
But no matter what path we will take, I believe we must walk it with Yuzu.”
“With Yuzu?” Sonata asked. “Have you found some sort of connection between her and us aside from the fact that she’s our Conductor?”
“So… Gut feelings are all we have right now.”
“Not quite… But I have a feeling that it might help our cause.” The Maestra then elaborated. “Something I noticed is how the You Show students remain surprised by what Fusion has to offer, despite it being a known art. That tells me they did not know of its capabilities. No matter how it eluded them for this long, what matters is that Yuzu steps forward to improve, with any method. If we know what method Yuzu seeks to master… Then by my will, I shall grant her wish. I swear of it.”
“HEY!” Sonata snapped back at that blunt remark from Harmonia. “I think it’s a bit more than just gut feelings, you know?”
“You are both right, in a sense.” Mozarta responded serenely. “It is merely a feeling of mine, yet it is a feeling we must believe in. Perhaps with our wishes in harmony, the Inspiration may lend us aid. In short… Let us not destroy ourselves more than the Gem-Knights did.”
Harmonia let out a relaxed sigh, and Sonata cheered her up with a good pat on the head.
…
Although the defeat was harsh, and there was no news about Yuzu, the Melodious’ spirits were lifted by one another’s encouragement, and their worries about their Maestra were lessening by the hour, as time passed.
For someone else, not all worries in her mind were about Yuzu though.
Aria felt overwhelmed with thoughts and insecurities about a decision she vowed to make someday, but in order to press forward at last, she decided to seek aid to the one that was sure to help. She knocked onto Serenade’s room, fairly simple in furniture yet elegant, with various hues of pink coloring the walls, and two mirrored dresses with inverted color palettes in a glass dome in a corner and the pink Diva let her in with a mild and tired smile.
“Hey, Aria… Still worried about Yuzu?”
“Actually no, it’s about, um… Something else.” Aria meekly responded. “You see, I… I think I have feelings for someone and-”
At that point, Serenade’s mild smile turned into an enormous, excited grin that she was barely able to contain with a mild squee. Swiftly, she proceeded to carry a confused Aria to the interior and close the door down, before both walked together and proceeded to sit on Serenade’s bed, side by side. Deep breath taken and knees slapped with her hands, the pink Diva started, in a singing voice.
“I think I have a hunch on who you have feelings fooor!”
“Yeah… It’s obviously Sonata.” Aria responded. “I can’t help it, she just hits all the right notes for me! She always knows how to bring someone up, she’s extremely kind and upbeat, and she’s done so much for me… More than she even thinks!
I want to step forward and tell her! But… I can’t! I just feel immobilized whenever I try to or whenever we get too close!
Surely with all the operas of love you’ve studied, you can find something in there that could help me with this step!”
“It’s not that simple, Aria, especially for this step specifically!” Serenade bummed Aria a bit with this, but pressed on. “I know a ton of classical music is centered around love, but not many actually delve deep into the “your face is as red as a pepper” stage.
But it’s not operas that matter in this case. It’s YOU. Something must be holding you back. You need to come clean and tell me what it is.”
“O…Okay!” A bit shocked but relieved, Aria then breathed deeply and spoke up. “It’s that… I don’t feel like I can do much for her in return, at least comparativel-”
“OK, I’ll stop you right there, I know where this is going.” Serenade became unusually assertive now, but for a good reason. “Listen… By saying this, you’re only undervaluing yourself. You’re thinking you don’t have enough to offer. I’ll say you’re wrong already because you already have something special to offer no matter what.
YOU.”
“M…Me? Is it that simple?”
“Don’t underestimate that! The core of love is to offer themselves to one another! Once all have agreed to that, a true lovely bond blossoms and because you made that offer and accepted the other, you’ll be there for each other with all your heart.
And from that, everything else builds up. And I think you have a really good shot at that! I mean… I know Sonata likes you already!”
This directness made Aria somewhat embarrassed, and made her deduce:
“I… Think so, but I’m not sure if I’m ready, that’s all-”
However, before this could escalate, Aria stopped herself after feeling a sensation on the head.
“...Yuzu?”
“Yuzu?” The pink Diva immediately was put on alert. “It’s her, isn’t she? This means we are called to perform!”
“Yeah, we are! Everyone needs to be gathered!” And with this sudden surge of confidence, Aria vanished in a bright light as she was to take the stage at long last.
Serenade spread the word to everyone, aided by Shopina who was in the main hall and witnessed Yuzu’s world through the eyes of Aria. As the Melodious gathered swiftly there, they could see that their Duel was taking place in a dock of some kind, and the opponent in front of her and Yuzu was a familiar cyan haired kid. After the initial confusion, the Fairies shut up as said kid asked:
“So, Yuzu… How do you want me to go with your intro lesson?”
“I want you to go all out, Sora!” Indeed, the pinkette was behind Aria, who couldn’t afford to retract her stoic and graceful position she had mastered. However, while she wouldn’t turn around and look at Yuzu, she would certainly listen to her:
“Because I took that loss, we almost lost You Show School! I need to get stronger! I need to learn Fusion from you so I can protect my friends instead of relying on them! If you go all out from the start, I can get more focused on improving, so my eyes won’t be-”
BEEP BEEP
“NOOO! Ugh… Sorry, I got a call from my Dad! We need to delay this otherwise this goes all up in smoke!”
After this interruption and these last words from the pinkette, the feed disappeared and everyone was stunned by what just happened. They could finally start piecing things together once Aria arrived.
“So… Yuzu’s here… And she wants to improve as well!”
“Not only that, but we didn’t lose You Show after all!” Sonata followed her up, quite relieved.
“Wait, apparently she wants to learn… And that kid’s her teacher? Really?” Serenade questioned the situation, but Elegy admonished that notion.
“Let us not doubt his capabilities. We haven’t even seen what he’s capable of.”
“And our girl's telling him to go all out, so he has to be good!" Canon added.
"What matters is that this is a new beginning from all of us, and not all hope is lost." Shopina relayed before Mozarta concluded:
"And Yuzu is willing to grow… With Fusion! Let us follow in her footsteps, then… Harmonia."
The Composer had just come in at that point, and her excitement ignited again, as she felt inspired by the situation.
"I already have a great idea for this! Time for me to get to work!"
…
Shortly after, there was another instance of the intro Duel that occured between Yuzu and Sora. From there, they learned more about how Fusion was in her World, and Harmonia dedicated herself to a particular composition… One that would reside in a part of the garden house instead of her room.
It was a circular flower composition, orange and blue with a spiraling pattern somewhat resembling Polymerization. It lay isolated in a dome which previously held other plants which were moved out to another part of the garden house. Mozarta came by to take a look at the finished piece, very much warmed by Harmonia’s skill and enthusiasm.
“My dear… You were always a passionate gardener, were you not? It is quite showing with this lovely work of yours!”
“Ah, thank you! I thought a more simplistic and even approach would fit this flower bed better, that’s all. I just… Really hope this works!”
“Hm? Have you any doubts, Harmonia?”
“Well, it’s more like… If this doesn’t work, and we aren’t able to access or learn Fusion… What will Yuzu do with it? From what we’ve heard from Yuzu dueling, it’s not like we can call forth anyone… If we can’t learn Fusion, we might have just wasted her time…”
“Be not afraid. I am sure our work, and Yuzu’s work, will form a resonance strong enough to call the Inspiration, so our pleas may be answered.”
…
Shortly after, Harmonia came back to her room to revise notes she had made of Yuzu’s Duel. The Melodious likely didn’t get the full picture of her studies, as there should also be theory and such, conducted without Monsters to witness it. That made them all more hopeful of a breakthrough…
And eventually, they found one descending from the sky… The Inspiration answered Yuzu’s, and the Melodious’ will of learning Fusion, of growing stronger… With a peculiar looking figure which the Composer was simply mesmerized by: a light, black armor plate with orange tips all over covering a pure white veil, orange bandages covering her eyes, contrasting lightly with her green complexion, and many long strands of brunette hair that looked almost like bass clefs.
While somewhat unusual a look… A new Melodious had joined the Ensemble, and Harmonia just had to resist jumping for joy to maintain her courtesy and politeness.
“Ahm… I am SO pleased to meet you at last! It’s an honor to have you join the Melodious ensemble! So… What’s your name?”
“You may call me Soprano.” A soft-spoken voice came out of the new Member. “I know why I’m here… The pleas of you all to reach the realm of Fusion Summoning have reached me, and so I am born.”
“So… IT’S REAL!” Harmonia then quickly recomposed herself. “Ah, my apologies! I’ll present you to the others right away. They must have known of your arrival, and are waiting in the main hall. You’ll be perfect for joining the Divas’ ranks!”
“Actually, I was assigned a rather different title…”
A small revelation, a hint of surprise, and some reassuring were all that was needed to prepare the two for Soprano’s presentation. The two came to the top of the stairway, and the rest of the Melodious watched in awe at this new, rather peculiar member, who then was presented by Harmonia:
“My fellow Members, a new Melodious has joined our Ensemble!
Soprano the Melodious Songstress!”
That was met with wows and gasps as they were unfamiliar with this new name, which Shopina pointed out.
“Songstress… This is indeed new! Is she… Is the the gateway to Fusion?”
“Indeed I am. Yet Fusion is a ritual which cannot be performed alone.” The Songstress responded. “In order to offer my talent, I need at least one partner.”
“If I may…”
Mozarta stepped up to meet Soprano head on, and solemnly declared:
“May I be your partner, Soprano? I had watched over Yuzu since she was a child. I had seen her grow up as she conducted all of us. Allow me to experience this new stage of her life… Of her growth!”
“Gladly… You already show a strong conviction!”
“You have my thanks. Now… Shall I suggest where to perform?”
“Surely you may.”
Right as Mozarta and Soprano finished that conversation, they went to the Fusion flower composition Harmonia made, and all the other Melodious watched in extreme anticipation.
“My… I see why you’ve led me here.” Soprano mused. “Very well… Follow my lead, Mozarta.”
The Maestra nodded and soon the ritual would start. Soprano lead the way witha great alto befitting of such a title, already mesmerizing the other Melodious Monsters. As the flower bed lit beneath her, she ascended to the air and the familiar Fusion Portal formed behind her and Mozarta stood by her side with a ready posture. It would all fall into place as the two figures swirled until the portal became a white light, and a pink lotus bud was formed out of it. It opened up, and revealed the familiar figure everyone, even Yuzu, would know personally.
Azure dress and pink long scarf…
Fair complexion with lines resembling Mozarta’s…
Silver hair with golden treble clef hairpins…
The flower bud, serving as a stage…
And clear whole eyes ready to see this new Stage of her life, and a delicate ascending operatic scale greeting her fellow members who watched in awe. Among them, Shopina was the first to come forth:
"Mozarta… Is this truly you?"
"Indeed… I am reborn, with a new role and a renewed purpose." The Figure responded. "I must uphold all of our ideals to the fullest, to soothe the souls of all who listen, taking an ever growing Stage.
For I am… Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir."
MAIAMI CITY - YUZU'S ROOM (PRESENT)
"Wow…! Your entrance was so grandiose, Bloom Diva!" Yuzu was eagerly listening to the conversation, but soon remembered that: "Wait, aren't we derailing a bit?"
"I believe we are not, why?" The Choir responded, after being immersed in her tale.
"Wasn't this story about Aria and Sonata?"
"Trust me, I have not derailed my tale. Perhaps I have elaborated on circumstantial matters, but all of that was the prelude for the duet.
Shortly after, it would be Sonata's turn to take the stage."
DUEL SPIRITS' WORLD - CONSERVATORY (RESUMING)
As Soprano continued to share her knowledge, it would seem that only Bloom Diva could come out of her Fusion ritual, perhaps as Mozarta’s soul allowed her to create that new form of hers. While Bloom Diva could be manifested out of anyone, her agency seemed to be limited if the Fusion was performed with anyone sans Mozarta.
Naturally, this led to Sonata stepping forward to talk to Soprano privately, at a moment of rest, near the garden house.
“I think I understood how Fusion works. Say though… Do you know exactly where it comes from, when it all starts?”
“Fusion is merely a technique which has many origins. But for me… It comes from the voices and wills of two people in perfect harmony, essentially. Maybe that’s why it worked particularly well with Mozarta…”
“Perfectly in harmony…” Sonata listened to Soprano’s explanation, and suddenly a wave of determination came to her and she declared: “Then I’ll try it myself!”
“Oh! …Do you have the means?”
“I think so… I’m not a Songstress like you, but I believe I can-”
“UM…”
It turned out, someone else was listening to the conversation, and now decided to step forward, visibly searing red.
“Aria?” Sonata asked. “Is there something wrong?”
“Uh…” Aria was still hindered, still weighed down by her insecurities, but slowly, slowly came forward. “I… Listened to what you were talking about with Soprano and… I…”
At this point, Sonata had a hunch and came closer to the cowering Aria, who was blushing even more, and asserted herself.
“It’s come to this… Listen, Aria… You need to let it out. You’ve come here for a reason. Now simply face me and tell me what’s in your mind.
I’m always here to help you, Aria!”
“I… I know! But… I…”
Seeing that her voice was slowly comforting Aria, Sonata decided to take it a step further and sing a single note, encouraging her companion to join in. Soprano was greatly moved and intrigued by this exchange, and some other Melodious had noticed it as well.
“I…”
As Aria struggled to talk, Sonata sang one note higher.
“I…”
Aria’s attempts became more melodic and determined as Sonata pushed her forward.
“I…
I…!
I OFFER MYSELF TO YOU!!!”
And at last, the declaration, which did not catch off guard Sonata at all. She could feel it miles away due to all they’ve been through together, and simply let Aria speak with great warmth in her.
“You’ve done so much for me, so much that you don’t even know! You’ve been the kindest and nicest person I’ve ever known! Whenever I heard you sing, or merely speak, I couldn’t help but be lifted up, like I went to visit the Inspiration itself!
I’ve struggled to say this to you because I didn’t know how to repay you!
I felt fear that I would only drag you behind… I didn’t realize how stupid it was of me! I want to help you through all of our ordeals! I want to stay by your side! I want to go through this eternal concert with you! I WILL CHERISH YOU AND ALL YOU’VE DONE!
So… Sonata… Will you be my partner… In this lovely duet?”
“Yes! A thousand times yes, Aria!”
Not even a fraction of a moment Sonata spent responding to Aria. All now was let out, and there was no point in keeping the tension any longer. Sonata lovingly held Aria’s shoulders, and she paid her back in kind. Warm, embracing smiles were had by both as they stared at each other, but Aria added tears of joy to her face, and Sonata a visible blush of great warmth. The latter proceeded to speak her side.
“I knew you had it, Aria. Your talent, your grace, and your composure is what led me to help you so much in the first place… But most of all, because of how sincere you are. You never hesitated to share to me what was wrong, and with your confession… Your emotions showed it. Now you’ve stepped forward and faced the worries of your mind head on, no doubt the hardest you’ve felt… And I wholly admire you for it.
Let us partake in this duet… Forever, and ever!”
“Forever, and ever!”
With Aria’s repeating, there were no more words, but just one gesture left. One gesture, with which they could finally seal the deal. Their faces leaned into each other, ready to meet halfway through…
But it was suddenly stopped by many Melodious staring at them dumbfoundedly, opposite of the entrance to the garden house. Aria was the first to speak, her worries completely gone, but replaced by some confusion.
“What is the matter, fellow Members?”
“I don’t mind you being here, it’s just… What’s with your faces?” Sonata followed her up, only for Harmonia to shout:
“Behind you, you dummies!”
The Composer pointed at the flower composition, which became radiant once more right as the two leaned into each other. No words were exchanged, as they knew what to do. They floated towards the composition and stood above it, ready to perform despite Harmonia’s doubts.
“Waitwaitwait… Don’t we need you for this, Soprano?”
“Not at all… I can already tell, they’ve created something truly special.” Soprano shut everyone else up with this, and Aria and Sonata performed together. They held both hands together in palms and laid their foreheads against each other before letting one hand slide into the other’s arms, and turning around with the other arm held up high. They were perfectly mirrored and in harmony, in both tone and movements, as they shined brightly, then swirled into the Fusion Portal.
What then came out of them was a figure as big as a Maestra, but with a puffy dress that looked more like an hourglass, mostly red with black accents, with big white shoulderpads. The figure’s maroon hair was set ablaze with pure passion, contrasting with the golden mask underneath, and over her teal skin. She also wielded a conductor’s baton that was also a floret, and swung it around creating pink waves whenever it went, ending with a dramatic pose, full of passion and flair.
Everyone was astonished at what had just occurred, and Shopina wasn’t intent on hiding it.
“This is a rather unbelievable achievement… You have truly done it!”
“Oh ho! Now, with this new form, I simply feel free and full of fire in my heart!” The figure responded, with a more boisterous attitude than the other Maestras, especially compared to the softer Mozarta, who greeted the newly arrived with a warm smile.
“Hardly in my life have I ever imagined something like this…It is truly special. How shall we address you, dear?”
“Schuberta! Schuberta, the Melodious Maestra! Glad to finally conduct alongside you!”
MAIAMI CITY - YUZU’S ROOM (PRESENT)
“That’s how it all came to be?!” Yuzu exclaimed, to be met with a nod from Bloom Diva. The pinkette tried to recollect: “You’ve mentioned that Schuberta was born because of Aria and Sonata’s bond… But I wouldn’t have imagined that it was LIKE THIS.”
“Yet it all happened, and it was truly joyous.” The Choir warmly responded. “Their love had reignited the Melodious’ hope further, all leading into your comeback against Masumi… And for all of us to truly blossom.”
“Because in the end, we all stepped forward.” That was also met with a nod by the Fairy, and after a bit of thinking, Yuzu said:
“You know what, I think I’ll make another step forward on Valentine’s! Don’t worry… I’ll be ready.”
“Do not be ashamed otherwise, Yuzu. Just follow your own heart.”
With these closing remarks, Yuzu would salute the Choir so she could return to her friends for the evening. Shortly after, however… A damning sensation came to her. A memory which sounded silly, but pierced her mind like a needle… And she had to make sure to remove it.
Thus, she hastily tapped Bloom Diva’s card to call her before it was too late.
“Ah, Yuzu! Is something amiss?” The Fairy responded, both acknowledging the sudden call and looking at Yuzu’s shaken expression. The pinkette would then ask:
“Bloom Diva… Remember that time I first tried to Fusion Summon against Sora…
I had Aria and Sonata on the Field…
And I couldn’t because I put Schuberta on the Main Deck instead of the Extra?”
“Ah, yes… I see, but that is of the past, Yuzu.”
“But… That must have been Aria and Sonata’s debut of their Fusion to me? Just… What did they think of my massive mistake?! Did I embarrass them as well?”
The Choir replied with a light chuckle, then reassured Yuzu: “Well… A tiny bit, but you should pay it no mind regardless.
To be more precise…”
DUEL SPIRITS’ WORLD - CONSERVATORY
Indeed Sonata and Aria fully participated in what Duel Yuzu described: at the harbor, she was to use Polymerization to fuse the two and finally form Schuberta. However… Even with Yuzu’s best efforts, the Fusion wouldn’t occur because of a single, silly mistake.
There was overall stunned silence in the Conservatory… Easily broken up by Aria’s exasperated sigh… And Sonata’s hearty laugh.
“Aw… And this was to be our debut…” Aria thought, and Sonata leaned in on her shoulder and responded:
“Don’t think much of it! It’s not your fault and it shouldn’t really be Yuzu’s either! She’s still learning, after all! You could see the hope in her voice as she chanted for our Fusion!”
“Man, good for them, but I can’t imagine myself being all cute and cuddly like this!”
“That much is true, Sonata! And next time, and every time after, we’ll be sure to give it our all… Together!”
And with this, they both warmly embraced each other, to everyone else’s approval and encouragement. Many obstacles and blunders will be had in anyone’s life; it’s just a matter of pushing through them: Yuzu would do this thanks to those dear to her… The Melodious would do so thanks to one another… And Aria and Sonata would do this especially thanks to each other.
Said Canon, confident, yet unknowing, of the future ahead.

Rose Water Bath
For: @narutorarepaireventhub and Rarepair Valentine’s Week
Prompt: Valentine's Day
AU: Modern AU
Ship: Itachi x Shiho
Married life...
For Shiho, it felt like a dream, a fantasy. She was just a book clerk with a masters in literature. Who would want to marry someone as boring as her? Life works in mysterious ways, because someone did marry her. And that someone, was Itachi Uchiha. The oldest son of Fugaku and Mikoto, known in the business world as the accounting wizard. This was her new husband.
They met while in grad school. The campus café was always a hub for conversations and caffeine. Shiho wasn't exactly popular, but that didn't bother Itachi at all. One conversation, became many, and soon there were dates and with in a few months they were a couple. No one was expecting it, and no one was definitely expecting them to tie the knot either. Fast-forward a year and here they are.
It was Valentine's day. Now they've had Valentine's days together before, but never as husband and wife. Shiho wanted to do something special for it. She drew a nice hot bath for the two of them to share. She put rose petals and other little things in it to make it romantic. She wanted him to enjoy it and relax.
Once it was ready, she called him into the bathroom. The couple undressed and eased their way into the warm water. Hearing her husband sigh in relief was a good sign as she removed her glasses. She massaged his muscles with care as he sank deeper into the bath. Even though he was an accountant, he did like to stay in shape! She loved the feel of his muscles and he seemed to enjoy the attention as well.
When they were done and in bed, Shiho felt her cheeks burning as Itachi pulled her close to his body while he sleep. She was perfectly trapped in his arms like a teddy bear in a child's arms.
Guess it was safe to say he really enjoyed their Valentine's day!

hiiiii you don't need to reply to this i just wanted to say thank you for the kimbliza :)c its always refreshing to see riza rarepairs and i think your brain is huge for liking kimblee/riza ... i rarely see people being interested in it and i think thats a shame when they only have one interaction in the entire series BUT it is kimblee calling riza out on her bullshit while also calling her ojouchan/little lady like cmon... just that leaves possibility for such an interesting dynamic.... and im personally obsessed with the valentines day art bc this meme instantly came to my mind when i saw it LMAO anyway!! thanks again for sharing your kimbliza i hope to get to see more of your art/thoughts of them!!! have a nice day!!
Omg thank you so much! :D I don’t usually answer asks like these out of self-consciousness but the meme is too accurate to keep to myself and you are sooo right! I loved your tags as well lol they gave me a good chuckle.
I can’t find the post again, but I once read a post that went like "the reason that you’re both touch-starved and touch-averse is that you’ve spent so long without human touch that you interpret every contact as a threat" and I really do think that fits them both. Hehe might as well put a song I love here that fits them and this theme really well: Touch by July Talk
If you want more of my thoughts, @fumifooms is the blog to look at! I’ll link my kimbliza tag on there here. I recently did a sort of masterpost of kimbliza crumbs in canon because I am starved. I’ll also shout out @tombraxas because they churn out awesome kimbliza posts and fanfictions regularly! I owe it to them for having radicalized me as a kimbliza shipper lol
Kimblee literally meaningfully impacted Riza’s character fundamentally so hard like damn!! For a rarepair that is a massive win. Idk the interaction they had feels so special. I do think people tend to forget that Kimblee doesn’t say the things he does out of malice, ouugh he’s so interesting!!
I think Kimblee and Riza have soo many parallels actually. Blunt and strong convictions vs quiet, reserved and a follower. Both ready to kill their superior/commanding officer if the situation demands it. His iconic “don’t avert your eyes from the dead” speech was originally meant for her not Roy and no one can take any of this away from me. I’m like Denji eating the cake with my hands lolol. The flavor kimbliza has is simply unmatched. Riza is my special wet cat little war criminal princess (Wet cat and war criminal have the same first letters, if not equivalent then explain 🤨 /j)
I do plan on making more kimbliza art yes! I actually have a few actual Valentine’s day themed ones in the works lol. I’m rather slow and busy though… ;w; Also fics! I’ve already made two short ficlets, see them on my ao3! I’ve been hyperfixating on them for like 2 months now with no sign of stopping… I have so many wips. My kimbliza spotify playlist is my longest playlist ever 😭 I scoured both ao3 and ff.net and read everything about them I could find. I may be obsessed.

so. i got mon/draven in my head, and now this became a 1k oneshot. also on ao3, actually also tagging @andorerso in this because i'm going to take the other option on your prompt, but here is a bonus of mon/draven 💕
Soon, the base on Yavin IV will have to be evacuated in its entirety. To where, no one knows; there hasn't been enough personnel to form teams that could scout locations or to analyze the data they would find. Even if there were, though, there's always the matter of time.
The matter of time, which is always against them.
Still, the sounds of celebration continue to pierce the walls and shake the floor under their feet. A victory, especially one this significant, merits it; it's come at a cost, greater than most will ever know, but it's still a victory, and everyone here has had a role to play in it. Everyone here has earned their right to celebrate.
Even if the Empire, of course, is still out there, lurking closer than ever, with a firm Alliance location fixed in their databases that they will return to before long (the matter, again, of time), Mon will leave everyone be — if only for one night.
She's made her requisite appearance and delivered her requisite words, has smiled at their remaining numbers and given the energy of inspiration like any competent leader should, but it'd all burned out the instant she'd turned away. Her heart, heavy since the council meeting (heavy for more years than she can count up to this point), had not found, and still does not find, itself buoyed by the mood; the cost is a mark that is not so easily wiped clean.
As she slips away, into the corridors, she thinks of Jyn Erso, the woman they'd failed in so many ways, but perhaps most egregiously at the end, who'll now never get to live to see the results of her conviction; she thinks of Captain Cassian Andor, their best and brightest, a man who, in the time that she's known him, has shown nothing but unwavering dedication to exactly what this cause requires, even if it'd taken pieces of him that he'll never have the opportunity to put back together. She thinks of everyone who had gone with them to Scarif, the souls brave enough to act, no matter what, even when their own council could not. She thinks of the pilots who had not touched down on the surface of Yavin IV — the majority of the number that had taken off.
The assault on the Death Star is a victory against a seemingly unbeatable enemy, but it's difficult to think of it as an unambiguous win, no matter how much the Luthens and others of their movement would deem that thought naive.
Still, that's war — and far from the chambers of the Galactic Senate, she knows that now, with unquestioning certainty.
So, too, does the man sitting behind a desk in the office that Mon has found herself stepping into.
She can't remember a time when General Davits Draven hasn't looked tired and haggard, but here, in the low light of the power-savers, he's wearing years of cumulatively acquired exhaustion everywhere on his face; the circles under his eyes have somehow become more pronounced even over the past few days, his skin more sunken, hollow. There are two glasses with Corellian brandy on his desk, one mostly full, with his fingers wrapped loosely around the base, and the other just slightly off to the side, completely untouched.
Most in the Alliance would think of him as hard and cold, the sort of man one would depend on to make quick calls and snap decisions that might toe the lines of morality — at least for those who, like her, had come from softer beginnings. But hard and cold when needed, able to put aside sentiment for the sake of the greater good, doesn't mean that the sentiment isn't there; he cares for the subordinates under his command, looks out for them as much as he is able, and even if he may be reluctant to show, under that exterior, he has a heart that aches.
He's taken these losses hard; that much is clear. Beyond that, Mon has to infer, but it's a good guess that he's taken the loss of Captain Andor, someone he'd personally mentored for years, the hardest of all.
It says a great deal that he allows her to brush her hand against his when she approaches the desk, that he allows her to linger there for a moment before she gently drags it away, taking the untouched glass instead. It says a great deal that she can see a flicker of emotion in his face, a twitch of his jaw, before he hides it behind the rim of his glass, swallowing down half of its contents in one gulp, and hardly so much as even clearing his throat once he does.
Mon doesn't quite follow suit, but she stays close, leaning against the edge of the desk, taking a few sips herself. It's, specifically, from the bottle she'd gifted him once, several years ago — apparently saved until now. One might call it a special occasion, a celebration, but of course she knows better.
This is no more a celebration than the face she'd put on before quietly exiting the festivities. It's a requiem.
One moment carved out of time that's always running against them, because it's one moment that's critical for the sake of maintaining their humanity.
The chrono flashes, changing on the wall, emphasizing just how much those seconds are ticking away, but Mon says nothing, occasionally glancing out of the corner of her eye, until she, eventually, drains the contents of her glass and sets it back down onto the surface of the desk with a gentle clink.
Until her voice finally finds her again; it's shaky, hesitant under a mask that few can be allowed to see past, for the sake of their movement's survival — especially at such a crucial moment. But here and only here, she asks, "What now?"
Draven sets his glass down as well. His back straightens in his chair, and his hollowed face fills with purpose.
"Now," he says. "We have a war to win."

Do you like any "rarepair" ships in the show? Like Ednazz, or Kevrolf (my favorite 😁) or pairing poor Jonny with anyone...
Not actively at the moment, though that may be subject to change.
I do like the concept of KevRolf a lot, and recently been liking KevEddy a lot too! Though I find it hard to multi-ship characters for some reason so my loyal EddEddy heart is hesitant 😂 I'm trying not to be like that more lately though because there's so much potential for other ships.
I actually kind of headcanon Ed as Asexual actually so I don't really ship him with anyone 🤭 Maybe Demi-Ace? I don't know. He seems to only react positively to romantic things from his friends, as seen in "Can I have this Ed?" but even then I see that as him just having big feelings for his friends, but not necessarily romantic ones. And in the Valentine special he was legit running away from all the love-related things.
He only seems to react to Nazz in that one episode where they ALL do so I theorize that was just him mimicking the others. Not to say that it invalidates the ship at all because it is very cute! That's just how I see Ed personally. 🤭 Maybe I'm self-projecting a little bit lmao
I hope I explained myself without rubbing anyone the wrong way, it's not my intention to dismiss any of the ships in the show, there's just some I'm more a fan of than others! 🌈✨

Bizarre things that happened because of everyone in China having WenZhou brainrot:
1. The official Youku weibo account posting an original video-edit of Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan to promote Gong Jun's new firefighter show that Zhang Zhehan isn't even in. They edited together footage from the firefighter show and scenes from a totally unrelated film (the bravest) where ZZH acted as a firefighter. They even tagged both of them in the post.
People were confused. Youku took it down after three minutes. People were even more confused. Youku offered no other explanation.
2. Sichuan News tagging Zhang Zhehan on their weibo post, inviting him to "visit Gong Jun's hometown" and JiangXi News also tagging Gong Jun, inviting him to "visit Zhang Zhehan's hometown".
This has never happened before and people are perplexed. Again, no further explanation was provided.
3. For Gong Jun's firefighter show, his hometown Sichuan's Fireman Unit tagged him on their official weibo post to help promote it. Nothing strange about that, no, the weird thing is Zhang Zhehan's hometown JiangXi's Fireman Unit also promoted the show on their official weibo and tagged Gong Jun. Again, this show has nothing to do with Zhang Zhehan at all.
People are still wondering what the fuck is going on but have mostly given up on getting any kind of explanation.
4. Official public accounts for their respective hometowns Sichuan and JiangXi continue to roleplay as in-laws on weibo, to everyone's utter bewilderment. From tagging each other on random official posts to outright inviting the other hometown's "son" over. In Gong Jun's first Bilibili video, Sichuan Satellite TV posted a comment inviting Zhang-Laoshi over to Sichuan to play. And this roleplay extends to various versions of these official hometown accounts, from tourism accounts to weather report accounts.
And this is still going on, well after the concert and official promotions for WOH have come to an end. In fact, it might have gotten worse because instead of in-laws they're now acting like a married couple. For 5.20 (Chinese Valentines Day) the two hometowns collaborated to give away special editions of their newspapers, tagging and commenting on each other's post, affectionately calling the other 西西 and 川川. By this point, people are just rolling with it as if these public accounts calling each other pet names on social media is perfectly normal and not at all completely beffudling to those who don't know about WOH.
5. OK! Magazine doing the equivalent of a desperate fangirl piecing together random screenshots of two characters to make content for her rarepair ship. They took Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan's unrelated solo photoshoots and smushed them together, filling the Haidian Huangzhuang Station.
All I can say is...I have never had a fandom experience like this and I don't think I've ever seen such widespread support and adoration like this for a CP, and it's especially satisfying knowing how this casting was mocked and ridiculed throughout the whole production period because people claimed chemistry between the leads would be impossible 😂 Now people are clamoring just to see them in the same shot.

Compilation of assorted shippy doodles for Valentine’s Day! They’re not actually all from the same time, some are older than others, but I guess I was kinda saving them for a special occasion haha
I know Nitros Oxide x Zem is kind of a rarepair in the Crash community, but honestly I think they’re perfect for each other. Plus it’s kinda like the whole opposites attract trope, which is fun.
Anyhow, happy Valentine’s Day!
