I’m curious, if you’ve seen/have any thoughts on these other wlw ships?

Villanelle from Killing Eve

Clexa from 100

Cazzie from Atypical

Choni from Riverdale

Calzona from Greys Anatomy

Rules from Euphoria

Sanvers from Supergirl

Shoni from The Wilds

That's a good mix! Heard about all of them, know them to varying degrees.

Villanelle

You know I've been meaning to watch Killing Eve, seems like something I'd be into. All I know is that there's tension and they probably wanna kill each other? I'm sure it's the kind of ship many would call toxic but hey. I'll get around to watching this show eventually, the chemistry between the actors looks great.

Clexa

Oh, I was there. I remember it all too well. I followed most of The 100 as it came out but almost always followed the fandom with a detached sort of interest. I liked Clexa; I wasn't had over heels, I feel like I would have needed more time for that which they infamously never got. But it was a really cool dynamic and a huge piece of fandom history. I wrote a bit about Clexa but mostly the aftermath of Lexa's death for my dissertation and I know others have done so as well.

Cazzie

Love Cazzie! I've been following Atypical since season 1 and always got queer vibes from Casey so I was so down when Izzie was introduced in s2. I'm a big sucker for their kind of dynamic and thought they were super fun and sweet. The bike scene in season 4? Ughhh super cute. Izzie was a great addition to the show and her s4 scenes in particular were poignant. And again just great chemistry.

Choni

Oh boy, freaking Riverdale. Ironically watching this show used to be fun but now it's too off the rails. Seriously who keeps greenlighting this. Sex sells I guess. Anyway before I go on a Riverdale rant, Choni. I really liked them in season 2, again it’s the kind of dynamic I eat up and stuff like “you’re sensational” was very good. And then you know, the whole show became impossible to take seriously in any way and so I can’t really think of it or Choni as anything substantial. But I liked them and thought they were some of the best parts of even the most bonkers episodes. I can see why people are drawn to them.

Calzona

So here’s the thing, even though I haven’t watched or kept up with Grey’s Anatomy in any way for more than a decade now, they kind of have a special place in my heart. I’m pretty sure Calzona was the first ever wlw ship I saw on TV, in any media. It’s sure as hell the first I remember. And that was kinda special because we used to watch Grey’s as a family and you know, representation matters partly because it normalizes. Callie was one of my favourite characters (along with Lexie) and it was all very new and interesting to me. So even though I don’t keep up with the series in any capacity they remain dear to my heart.

Rules

I haven’t watched Euphoria, yet, and don’t know much about them just like with Villanelle. One half of the ship is Zendaya, right? It looks like a heavy sort of series that I need to be in the right mindset for so I haven’t gotten around to it yet. But I heard good things so go Rules, go Euphoria.

Sanvers

In a way, I started watching Supergirl because of Sanvers. As mentioned above, I loved Lexie in Grey’s so when I saw that Chyler Leigh was playing a lesbian now I Gay Migrated to Supergirl as season 2 was airing. Alex’s season 2 journey was really well done and Sanvers were a great duo. Again as with Clexa I wasn’t in love with them, not because they aren’t great but just cause for me personally it wasn’t OTP material. But it still sucked when Maggie left and I do miss those earlier days of Supergirl. It was handled as well as it could have been though. And how great is it that we got a “coming out in your 30s” story, more of that please.

Shoni

Sounds like Choni huh. Everything I know about The Wilds is second-hand from tumblr and nowhere else, and though I’ve heard that shipname and the individual names I couldn’t tell you who those two are exactly. Blonde and a brunette? Probably. I should really check The Wilds out eventually but yeah, can’t say much about it now. You tell me anon, what are your thoughts on this and/or other wlw ships?

#anon #ask #anonymous #some of that was a trip down memory lane and i thank you for that #reminds me of the gay migration as a phenomenon #not that you were asking but i'd rank cazzie first out of these #my thoughts

Request: The RFA + Saeran reacting to MC being their soulmate ( w/ the soulmate AU where if you write on yourself it shows up on your soulmate as well) What would they have written back and fourth or doodled on themselves as well?? (thank you in advance I love your blog)

ahhh thank you so much for sending this request it was super funto write >:3

so since it’s an AU, basically everyone knows about thisphenomenon and all is well and swell

YOOᔕᑌᑎG:

So it goes like this

Yoosung has an important secret meeting with his guild, and hewrites the time/date/location on the back of his hand

But when the time comes for the meeting to start, there’s anunknown character in their midst

Immediately, everyone thinks you’re an enemy spy, but you’rejust trying to tell them that all the information just showed up on your handthe other day and you decided to check it out

“That’s impossible,” Yoosung began angrily, his whole plan tokeep the meeting a secret had gone to waste. “The location can’t justmagically appear on –”

He stopped himself

Wait…wait a second

is this…what I think it is? Is it possible???

Yoosung starts to get really red inthe face, and he asks you exactly what day the message appeared on your hand

“I think about two days ago, at around seven pm?”

Yoosung’s having a mental breakdown

Okay, just a moment. I need to test it, I need to make surethis is real, he thinks to himself.

But he has to come up with something that you wouldn’t be ableto normally guess

So he writes a sentence on his hand, and asks you to tell him ifit appears on your hand too

Yes

O-okay…what does it say? Yoosung has troublebreathing

“I have a crush on…MC?”

Yoosung’s pretty sure something exploded nearby

whoops maybe that was just his brain

cannot compute

the sky is falling, people are screaming

actually wait no

that’s just Yoosung

screaming alone in his room

whAT iS HAppEnING W H A T????

Your character logs out, and an hour passes by, Yoosung havingmigrated under his covers

He reaches out his hand, so that the sunlight illuminated theconfession he had written

But there’s new writing, one that is not of his own

“Haha,” it read, “I have a crush on you too(//>w/)”

Let’s just say Yoosung becomes a mini-whirlwind as he zoomestowards Saeyoung’s house to find out wear you live

You bet baby sunshine is a blushing mess when he arrives at yourdoor, but the kiss he plants on your cheek is the most gentle of things

You can still feel the delicate shape of his lips lingering onyour face hours after he had left

ᘔEᑎ:

While practicing his lines, he wrote a few of them on his arm tohe could read them without having to carry around the script everywhere he went

The first time poetic verses started blooming across your skin,you just assumed that your soulmate was some sort of ridiculously romanticperson 500% true though

You never really wrote anything back because what was there tosay?

Except you had just finished reading Shakespeare for a class atschool, and you were feeling more than a little inspired

So there Zen is, reciting his lines alone in his room, when wordsthat he had not written appears on his other arm

“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” they read

Zen freaks out and almost breaks his neck falling out of bed

He quickly sends a snapshot of his arms to the group chat

“They…they finally wrote back?”

The chat blows up right away, and it’s mostly filled withYoosung’s typos because shit theboy is excited

But the only person who doesn’t say anything is you

What are you supposed tosay?

How do you casually announce that you’re his soulmate???

Seven asks, “So, Romeo, wherefore art thou?”

Zen sends his home address to the chat

You idiot how is that supposed to help your soul mate find you?they say

So then Zen writes it on his arm instead, adding an “O Juliet,Juliet, wherefore art thou?” beside it

When there’s no answer, Zen becomes a crying blob and everyoneon the chat is having a hard time getting him to stop sending dramatic lines

“Ah, Juliet, did you abandon me? Or have the Montagues taken youcaptive? My sweet love, where are you?”

“In front of your house,” you finally say in thechat.

They’re all just like ????????????????????????????

and then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoosung and Seven’s squealing puts high school girls to shame

Jaehee is sad but I’m just a fangirl nothing more I’m justworried about his career and Jumin is saying how he’ll present youguys with a cat show for your wedding pictures

Zen rushes to the door and faceplants into it he’s so nervous

But finally, he pulls it open and sees you, his Juliet, standingright in front of him

“You were always so close to me…” he says, reaching out towardsyou. “But from now on, I’ll keep you even closer.”

Zen pulls you into the biggest, warmest hug

Such a tight hug, squeezing you with all his might…

very tight…

….it’s probably been five minutes since you’ve been standingin the doorway like this….

Was that a squirrel that just entered his house?

Hey uhm Zen I can’t really breathe

Anyway

He keep his word

and for the rest of the day, he holds you against him, neverletting you go, a hand around your waist, or your shoulders, cradling youagainst his chest while you listen to his heart beating fast… unless you have to use the washroom then he might considerletting you go but even then you have a hard time convincing him that personalspace is an actual thing

ᒍᗩEᕼEE: (sorry I wrote this one in the case that MC is a girl?)

So you know how in her route, two main things go down:

First, she doesn’t know she’s gay

second, she has a thing for coffee

you help her realize both of those things right

now instead of showing her support in the chatroom, youshow support while writing small messages on yourself, with Jaeheescribbling some back in her short breaks from work

actually no, she takes breaksfrom work just so that she can answer you

When Jaehee is stressed and lacks sleep so like every day? your words are right there onher arm, telling her that’s it’s okay, that you love her, and to take care ofherself because she is an important person to you and to several others

It helps her relax

She sleeps more knowing that you’re looking out for her

When Jumin has a stick really far up his ass, you’re right therewith her, motivating her, everything will be okay, you’llget through this, I believe in you

Since Jaehee doesn’t know she’s kinda gay,she just assumes her soul mate is a dude

Then you guys meet for the first time at the RFA party, yougreet each other and hold out a hand to shake and-

you see the same message on her wrist that’s written onyours

“I hope I can see you soon.”

Jaehee looks at you in quiet shock

A..girl?

But then everything comes whooshing back to her, and she’s hitwith the realization that it just all makes sense

of course you’re her soulmate, how could she not have knownbefore?

In a burst of boldness, she cups your face in her hand andpresses her lips against yours

“It’s nice to meet you,” she breathes, a blush spreading acrossher face.

Saeyoung becomes your number one shipper that night and starts afanclub dedicated to you two

also writes fanfiction

when you open up the coffee shop, you guys scribble some ideasfor recipes on yourselves

after a hard day of work, you look down and smile at the thingthat Jaehee had written

Recipe for love: MC+Jaehee

ᒍᑌᗰIᑎ:

Jumin was never particularly fond of the the things that wouldappear on his skin

Meaningless dates, appointments, memos, the occasional flowerdrawing…

He never bothered to write anything himself, and so years passedin this manner, until you join the RFA

that is when he first decided to write something back

It’s after you had covered your thighs in swirls and clouds thathe takes up his diamond pen and places the nib on his forearm

“Hello,” he says, “Please refrain from creating such largedrawings, they are rather bothersome. Thank you.”

Nobody knows why you’re in such a foul mood that night in thechat

Jumin says he understands how you feel, since his soulmate hadbeen particularly unconventional with their drawings and now both of his legsare completely hidden behind patterns in dark ink

You do not reply for a long time

while Zen tells Jumin off for being an ‘anti-romanticassbucket‘, you’re glowering at your phone

Jumin Han

Jumin Han is my soul mate?

No it must be a coincidence…but to be safe..I’ll make sure…

“Hey Jumin,” you write in the chat.

“Yes?”

“Did you, by any chance, tell your soul mate ‘ Pleaserefrain from creating such large drawings, they are rather bothersome. Thankyou’?”

“Yes, why?”

….

……….

“Ah,” he says, after a long pause. “I must apologize to you,MC.”

Zen’s yelling

Jaehee’s yelling

Saeyoung’s laughing in the distance

Yoosung wants to cry because w h a t?

Meanwhile Jumin calls you and apologizes over and over again,assuring you that you can draw whatever you want and as much as you want, andhe wont complain at all

lol then why was it a problem like 5 minutes ago?

he learns to appreciate your meaningless memos and occasionaldoodle, and discovers that doing it himself is a truly therapeutic thing

he’s also discovered that he can use his own body to documentthe life of Elly

so now you get an update every 2 minutes about the status of hiscat

Elly is gazing out the window, she looks so beautiful…but ofcourse, not as beautiful as you

Elly is having lunch now…the way she seems crave her foodreminds me of how I feel when we’re apart

basically using Elly as a means to tell you cheesy pickup linesis his new hobby

ᔕᗩEYOᑌᑎG:

LMAOOOO

right so starting off Saeyoung never really doodled on himself

I mean do you see this boy he’s covered in clothes oh my how troublesome

however, a while ago, he could see the little marking that wouldappear on his hands when you doodled during a boring class

You have no idea how much those drawing helped him get his workdone

They were like tiny rays of sunlight for him, helping him seethe way out of his dark tunnel

look at me being all poetic

He would never write back though, always afraid that you wouldstop drawing if you knew he saw everything you made

But after a while, the doodles become less and less frequent,until they disappear altogether

Then you join the RFA, though tbh you guys don’t find outabout being each other’s soulmate until much later

There’s a sleepover at Seven’s house, just you, him andYoosung.

There’s also an RFA party the next day, and you guys are theonly ones crazy enough to pull an all nighter before the event

I mean for them it’s a common practice, sleepless nights

hey you could make a religion out of this

Anyways, it’s not until six am that you finally manage to fallasleep

Yoosung is passed out in the kitchen, his butt stuck to thefridge due to circumstances

Saeyoung wanders around, unable to sleep, when he sees yourpeaceful, unprotected face while you sleep on the couch

He grabs a sharpie and gets to work, careful not to wake you up

Saeyoung does some doodles of his own, and it takes him a fewhours to complete because it has to be perfect so arethey really doodles at this point?

Meanwhile Yoosung wakes up, unsticks his tush from the fridge,and leaves, because he has stuff to do for LOLOL before the party starts

You also wake up, groggy, glancing at the clock

it’s 4pm

the party starts in two hours

You bolt out the door, shouting a quick bye to Saeyoung beforeyou return to the apartment as fast as humanely possible

Saeyoung doesn’t answer you

He’s busy staring at himself in the mirror

“No way….” he murmurs, gently touching his face.

…

By the time you get back home, there’s only one hour to spare,due to the heavy traffic on the way back

You have just enough time to throw on some nice clothes andbrush your teeth before you have to leave again

So basically you have no idea how you look overall

Lo and behold, you arrive at the party, and Jaehee greets youwith a frown on her face

“MC…I don’t know if this is some sort of a joke…but that’shardly appropriate makeup for the occasion,” she says in a stern voice.

Huh?

The other RFA members arrive to greet you, but they all say thesame thing:

“MC, what did you do to your face?”

Then Saeyoung arrives

“Saeyoung, look at –”

They freeze

Seven has a perfectly drawn-in twirl mustache complete withmonocle and angled eyebrows on his face

Needless to say, you also have the same thing on yours

“Seven??!”

He takes a deep breath

Dabbing fiercely, he cries out

“SOLIDARITY!”

and then prances away

Basically you’re all bewildered, especially after Zen haulsSaeyoung back and has him explain just what the actual fuck isgoing on

Zen: “He found his soulmate by drawing an ungodly mustache onsomeone’s face? What has the world come to???”

and you two don’t even attend the party

Instead, Seven brings you to a park where you both lie on theground, counting the stars in the sky as Saeyoung offers you loving words andsweet caresses throughout the night

ᔕᗩEᖇᗩᑎ:

Edgemaster Mc Edge gets a Mint Eye tattoo on his arm while he’sin the cult

You remember that fateful day where a strange drawing appearedon your skin, and didn’t come of no matter how many days had passed

So you automatically knew it was a tattoo and had to question yours/m’s tastes a ‘lil but it gradually grew on you

Ok but now listen

Days come and go, you join the RFA, and you never have anythingelse appear on your body

Side not: once you tried to initiate a conversation with your s/mbut all you would get as a reply was “Fuck off” or “You’re creepystop talking to me”

And then the day arrives when Saeran breaks into your apartment

You’re in the middle of putting on a hoodie, but you drop it outof shock when a grown ass man casually Tarzans into your house

Saeran has got his whole “I’ll take you to paradise andmake you happy and we’ll have sex all day” speechready and you just kinda whisper what the fuck

Why does this guy have the same tattoo as me???

So you’re staring at his arm, and he’s trailing off because whatshe’s not scared?

Actually what is she looking at?

His gaze is drawn to his own tattoo, then he looks back at you

Is a quadruple take a thing?

He just slowly points a finger at you, covering his mouth his aloose fist while you mirror his movement

“You’re that creepy person!” he declares, eyes wide, while at thesame time you say “You’re that anti-social emo kid!”

“That means…that you’re my soulmate???” youguys yell simultaneously. “No way!”

Y’all are breathing hard

neither of you know what the fuck is going on

Saeran tries to run away from his sudden bout of feelies but youlaunch an aerial attack and glomp him before he reaches the window

Basically it’s a very confusing evening that ends in late nightemotional syndrome and melting ice cream

The only time Saeran returns to Mint Eye is to make sure Rika istaken away and her cult dissolved

Saeyoung’s a mess, all tears and joy, because not only did heget his brother back, but said brother also managed to find his soul mate

Saeran promises to write you nicer answers

your favorite one is when he gets a little bit drunk, and hedoodles a little sun and some clouds on his forearm, where underneath he writesa simple

“Let’s watch the sky together, my soulmate.”
