18+ content below, mdni, afab!reader, enjoy!

The TV drones in the background as you scroll through your phone, leaning into the arm of the couch. Anxious anticipation rolls off your boyfriend. You don’t have to look to know he’s fidgeting with the blanket, trying his best to focus on the show—an episode of How It’s Made, his favorite. It’s obvious what he wants, it’s what he always wants when you’re around, but he remains bashful nonetheless. Amused, you let him stew in discomfort, wanting to see how long it takes for him to crack.

He adjusts himself and scoots closer to you, in what you think was an attempt at subtly. A smirk threatens to split your mouth, and you can feel your lips wobble from the effort of resisting. What was once fiddling with the blanket becomes a bouncing leg, drumming fingers, and more frequent glances. Laughter presses against the seam of your lips when he sighs, but you keep it at bay. You’re as focused on your phone as he is on the TV; his energy is contagious and makes your desire spark. But right now, you just want to antagonize him.

Sex is a recent development in your relationship, and ever since you gave Choso the keys to the kingdom, he wants it all the time. Not that you mind. Introducing your boyfriend to sex in all its forms has been fun, to say the least. This isn’t cruelty: you’re just building his confidence to initiate, you tell yourself. Not two minutes later, he says your name in question. Innocently, you set your phone aside, giving him your full attention.

“Do you…?”

“Do I what, Choso?” It’s clear he didn’t anticipate any pushback, because looks ready to retreat.

“Can we?” His stare is intense and imploring as he rests a hand on your knee.

“Oh, I don’t know, this article is pretty interesting” — a lie. When he deflates with puppy eyes, you feel too guilty to not throw him a bone. “But I could be persuaded.” Confusion flits over his face; he really does need everything laid out for him, doesn’t he? “I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing, unless something more tempting comes along,” you say, and with no further explanation, return to your scrolling. You know this worked even though he hasn’t moved, because he’s wringing his hands and mulling over his next step.

Maybe you are cruel. Just a bit.

An unsure arm winds around your hip, and pulls you away from the armrest to sit upright. With a delicate press to your jaw, he turns your head to kiss him, but you pull back.

“Ah, ah—you can’t turn me away or block the screen.” Now understanding the game, he nods with wide eyes. “Good boy.” Excited, he sits right next to you, but doesn’t remove his hold on your hip. Hesitant kisses tickle your jaw and neck—more endearing than distracting. The complete lack of reaction prompts Choso to trail from your jaw to your chest, and cup your right breast.

A post makes you laugh, and you feel him bristle beside you. Riled up, he squeezes your breast harder than you thought he would, and goes for your nipple. Choso absolutely loves your breasts, it’s no shock he sought them out first. What is shocking is how aggressively he’s touching them. Normally, his touch is irreverent and pleading. A weak pinch makes you flinch, but you keep your focus.

“Is that okay?”

“All I said is you can’t turn me or block the screen,” you say vaguely, allowing his imagination to fill in the rest. A sharp pinch is his reply, making you gasp. Tentative kisses are forgotten as he breathes into your ear, now more focused on the weight in his hand. Wearing no bra, there’s only a thin t-shirt between you and his fondling; rolling your nipple around and tugging it occasionally. As if just remembering he has one, he mouths at your jaw, and gently nips at your ear. The sweet attention makes you hum, your eyes hooded as you lazily continue scrolling, barely paying attention to what you see.

Suddenly, the kisses stop, and his hold on you relaxes. You fight the urge to look at him. Is this his way of playing, or is something wrong? Before you can ask, his lips rest at your ear, barely touching. Anticipation stills your shoulders, and you stare at the screen blankly as you wait for him to do something. Those lips press against your ear, and stop, gauging your reaction. When there is none, he kisses your ear fully, gently.

You expect him to move on, but one kiss becomes two, then three, then doesn’t stop at all; his head angles, and his kiss becomes more passionate, fully making out with your ear now. It tingles, and despite your bewilderment, you let out a breathy whine. Emboldened, he introduces his tongue, which licks at the planes and ridges. Cheeks hot and appalled, you shriek his name—he squeezes your hip so hard it could bruise.

Normally, he would release you and frantically make sure you’re alright, but your taunting must have affected him more than expected.The odd sensation makes you squirm, but you stubbornly grip your phone, and don’t turn to him. This only cues him to pull at your nipple with a twist, making you arch and moan.

He’s quick to move on; his hand dips under the waistband of your sweats, then your panties, and wastes no time rubbing soft circles around your clit. As if touching your pussy wasn’t enough, his tongue dips into your ear’s canal, making you nearly drop your phone. It doesn’t go far, but enough that it’s oddly sensitive. Sounds cut in and out, like you’ve dived into a pool and swam back up. Embarrassingly, you feel yourself throb.

“You’re really wet,” Choso says, and immediately returns to assaulting your ear. His bluntness only makes you more mortified, and the nerves in your neck and jaw prickle. The attentive circles are consistent, and keep a steady pace, which only drives you crazy, noises spilling from you freely. With his mouth covering your ear, you can’t tell how loud you are—every sound you make blares internally, as if you’re listening to yourself through earbuds. Your sounds arouse more of his own, overwhelming your mind. You can’t even hear the TV anymore, or the sticky sounds you know your pussy is making.

So enwrapped in pleasure, you hadn’t even noticed Choso was humping the air, his moans somehow both stifled and amplified. Unable to resist, you toss your phone and cup his bulge, letting him grind into your hand. Abandoning your hip, he helps you slide his sweats and boxers down his hips, cock twitching with need once it's exposed to the cool air. You wrap you hand around his cock and stroke him making his legs tremble. The hand previously on your hip winds back around you to continue stroking your clit, while the other slides two fingers in your needy cunt.

“Oh, fuck–oh fuck,” you belt, grinding against his hands, helping him find your g-spot. When he grazes it, you shout his name, and he strokes it with every thrust of his fingers. “Yes, baby, just like that.”

The steady pace fumbles when you spit in your palm and continue stroking him. He chokes on a gasp and sucks the shell of your ear in his mouth; it’s the most you’ve been able to hear since he began, but the leftover saliva prevents you from hearing clearly. You twist slightly as you stroke upward, squeezing near his head. Even with the lingering saliva, you’re finally blessed with the wet sounds of his cock and your pussy.

“Please—ah—please cum,” his high-pitched and needy voice doesn’t match the way he roughly fingerfucks your pussy, stretching it with spread fingers and pushing your hood back to attack your clit. Overwhelmed, you shiver as you approach your release; it isn’t until he resumes his lip lock with your ear and tongues at the canal that you come with a keen. “T-that’s it, you look so pretty when you c-cum.”

Your body locks up as your stomach twists from the convulsions, and your pussy clenches around him nonstop, but he doesn’t let up until you still. He covers your limp hand with his own, and he pumps his cock furiously, chasing his end. Gripping one of his buns, you smash your lips together. Distantly, you expected a waxy taste, but were relieved to find none. Tongues graze, drool pools, and he makes debauched sounds when you pinch his tongue between your fingers.

“Are you gonna cum?” You pull his tongue tauntingly and squeeze around his cock. When he nods instead of answering, you pinch it harder, and his cheeks go redder than you’ve ever seen them.

“Yeth, I’-I-” he lets out long, continuous whimpers as he comes. Sensitive, he removes his hand, but you grip his wrist and make him stroke himself through it, thick cum leaking over your joined hands. Tears and drool roll down his face, but you keep stroking his cock with a sickening squelch.

It’s only when he stops leaking cum that you release him, soothing him with kisses to his wet cheek before fetching the nearby water. The two of you lay against each other, now winded.

“I’m just going to address the elephant in the room: why did you stick your tongue in my ear?”

“You wouldn’t let me kiss you,” he shrugs, as if it was obvious. “I’m glad you liked it, though.”

“I did not!”

“Okay, if saying that makes you feel be-” you smother him with a throw pillow.

Next time, you’ll think twice before giving Choso the reins to do whatever he wants.

kazaera replied to this post:

I hear you! TBH, the mystic kingship angle is especially odd given the backstory - Isildur’s heirs were *never* the kings of Gondor, as the whole thing with Arvedui shows.

Yes!

In fairness, I can see that there had to be some reason Aragorn isn't already king, nor any of his ancestors for nearly a thousand years, especially given that on the patrilineal side this is all being reckoned through, it's been even longer since they ruled in Gondor specifically (given that the last Gondorian king of Isildur's house was, uh, Isildur). Dynastic nonsense is a very natural explanation for that! It just makes the royal mystique pretty hard to buy into for some of us—and we're clearly a minority, so it was successful in some sense.

And you can see Tolkien trying to work the dynastic drama out in the drafts—like, there's a version iirc where Anárion was the elder son, and Gondorian preference for heirs of Anárion is a lot more straightforward in that case, whereas canon has this involved debate over whether Isildur forsaking the South-kingdom meant really forsaking it or just that he left for a time. (Also, Gondorian Dúnedain seem to have reservations about the heirs of Isildur in general.) But the switch in birth order seems like a clear attempt to bolster the legitimacy of Aragorn's claim.

Perhaps Tolkien himself felt that the situation seemed a bit sketchy and political, yet there does need to be a political explanation for why the heirs of Isildur were rejected by the Gondorian Dúnedain. The political explanation is realistically messy and involved, though, and so you end up at "well, the rules of male-line primogeniture allow Aragorn to *checks hand* magically heal" to a point that can be kind of ... ??????? if you can't buy into it.

So I do have some sympathy for the difficult balance there, but the political and mystical elements do still clash quite a bit. I kind of wonder if it's another case of Tolkien's affinity for the atmospheric, almost romantic, soft-magic kind of fantastic approach colliding with his methodical and painstaking way of thinking about things—he wants things to be evocative and mystical but also to be consistent and make sense. (It reminds me in a weird way of how Elvish languages function in LOTR—Quenya is so tied up with the spiritual in LOTR and so intensely politicized in almost every other context that it can feel weird, and Sindarin in LOTR operates on one part linguistic logic to nine parts vibes.)

Aragorn and Arwen rebuilding Arnor while Faramir rules Gondor would have made for a very cool take - now I almost want to write some snippets from that AU :P

DO ITTTTT

*cough*

I've thought of various scenarios where it could work out, and without drastically altering personality, it seems like the simplest approach is either "Aragorn chooses not to claim the throne of Gondor and leaves Faramir as Ruling Steward because of some kind of crisis in Arnor and/or among the Northern Dúnedain or Elves" or "Denethor doesn't lose his sanity, doesn't die, and isn't about to step aside for Aragorn, but can begrudgingly acknowledge his contributions enough to grant aid after the war, with the provision that his heirs remain Ruling Stewards."

(I do really like the idea of parallels and inversions between Arwen and Éowyn in this scenario, also.)

on mysterious vestiges and intricate OFA time-travel plots

okay so I have done a lot of thinking about this over the course of the past week and have finally reached a point where I feel like I’ve more or less organized my thoughts, so here goes lol.

first off, a quick clarification; my lack of commentary on this in the recaps was due to my complete and utter failure to pay attention. sometimes I miss some pretty big details. in this case, I was so caught up in analyzing the OFA Avatars we could see that I failed to pay much notice to the two silhouettes aside from checking if either of them looked to be female. it didn’t occur to me to look for similarities to characters we already knew, because that wasn’t even a possibility in my head. obviously these two characters died years and years ago, so there’s no way they could possibly look familiar! logic! lol. (and off-topic, but I like to think this lends more weight to the Dabi = Touya theory because it just goes to show you that if you dismiss a possibility out of hand, your brain can completely ignore some pretty compelling evidence. so I think it is possible that Endeavor wouldn’t have recognized his grown up evil villain kid.)

anyway, so let’s start off by posting the silhouettes in question, from chapters 193 and 194:

and now some side-by-side comparisons. I’m going to start with Kiri first, mainly because I think the evidence isn’t as persuasive in his case.

like... I dunno. the shoulder pads are definitely similar, and an argument can be made that the silhouette clearly has something on their face that might be an upgraded version of Kiri’s faceguard. but that’s where the similarities end (and even with the faceguard, Kiri’s has a distinctly pointy shape that’s clearly more decorative than functional and which I believe is meant to emulate Crimson Riot’s distinctive pointy hairstyle. him changing up the look would defeat that purpose).

the hairstyle is very different. Kiri’s hair has a very pointy look to it whether he’s wearing it down in its natural state or gelled up in his usual spikes. a style like this would mean he’s grown it out to the point where his bangs are gone and it’s long enough to pull back completely with no hair coming loose on the sides. this would imply a significant timeskip prior to whatever is going on here. and that’s one thing I don’t see Horikoshi doing based on his interviews (though hey, who knows, I could be wrong).

lastly, there’s the matter of why Kirishima would be involved with OFA, story-wise. with Kacchan it makes some sense, since his story has been tied to Izuku’s from page one of the series, and over time his character has become increasingly connected to the OFA plot. Kiri, though, lacks any involvement in OFA matters as of now. he also lacks the personal connection to Izuku that Katsuki has; in fact he’s probably at least a good 5-6 characters down if I were to make a list of the 1-A students that Izuku is most closely connected to.

so given all this, for now I’m inclined to say that this figure is more than likely not Kirishima. as for who it might be instead, there’s a theory which I can’t find the link to (I’ll edit if/when I do) that it could be AFO’s masked bodyguard from chapter 193, which could be interesting and would make sense timeline-wise (if he was the second or third wielder). and their appearances do somewhat match up, although again it’s not exact.

aside from this, though, I have no current theories on their identity or why it’s currently being concealed. so for now, let’s move on to the other figure instead.

this last one is what sold me. with the other two images, I could be convinced that the similarities are just coincidence. we do, after all, have plenty of other characters with similarly spiky hair.

but for me, that last comparison goes past what can be considered a coincidental resemblance. here, take a look at it again, this time with the left image superimposed over the right:

this isn’t just “oh it looks kind of like his hairstyle/gauntlets/neck guard.” this doesn’t just resemble him; this is his exact profile. for Horikoshi to have drawn this and not been aware of the resemblance is frankly impossible. which means it must have been done intentionally.

besides which, there’s also the question of why he would keep the character’s identity hidden otherwise. if their appearance isn’t actually some sort of spoiler, then why hide it? I can’t think of any reason, which leads me to believe that it’s not just the hair, but the face as well. for whatever reason, this character design deliberately resembles Bakugou’s.

now granted, that doesn’t mean it actually is him. here are some other possibilities I can think of:

reincarnation (or hinted/implied reincarnation)

an ancestor of his

it’s not actually Kacchan, but whoever it is has a quirk that allows them to appear to others in the form of someone close to them, and so to Deku, they appear to be identical to Kacchan

some unrelated character that just happens to resemble him in a way which is intentional on Horikoshi’s part but coincidental in the story (possibly for humor purposes; “dsflkj he looks just like Kacchan how in the -- !?”)

however, I’ll be perfectly honest; none of these rings true to me. reincarnation doesn’t really seem to fit the tone of the series thus far. OFA itself is about as spiritual as we’ve gotten here. aside from that, we’ve steered pretty clear of metaphysical concepts and anything relating to religion, souls, afterlives, etc., so this would be a bit of a whiplashy concept to introduce at this point.

as for an ancestor, that seems more possible (particularly since we’ve seen that genes run incredibly strong on Mitsuki’s side of the family), but also would involve more coincidence than Horikoshi usually tends to work with. Katsuki’s ancestor just happened to be one of the original wielders of OFA, and now half a dozen generations down the line, his descendant just so happens to develop close personal ties to not one but two other OFA users. I mean, it could happen, but it’s odd, and I don’t really see the necessity of throwing in a detail like this, and it’s not often that Horikoshi does something simply for the hell of it without having some kind of purpose.

regarding option #3... it’s possible? weird, but possible. I don’t have any real rebuttals for it, other than it’s just really weird. I really only listed this because the idea occurred to me and I wasn’t able to completely dismiss it lol.

and lastly, the full-blown coincidence option. the character just happens to look like Kacchan. now @interstellar-elf, I know you mentioned the possibility of Horikoshi reusing a character design from a previous series:

here’s an image of Nina for those unfamiliar (she shows up in chapters 4 and 5 of the series, which you can find on the usual manga reading sites, sometimes listed as Sensei no Baruji instead of Barrage):

anyways, here’s my issue with this though -- this character design has already been reused. with Kacchan himself (and Mitsuki). if Horikoshi wanted to dust off an old design, I don’t think he would choose one so similar to an existent character, let alone one of the principal characters in the series. he has plenty of other available designs that aren’t going to invite the same comparisons. he already has two characters with strikingly similar appearances to Nina’s; why create a third? and again, why hide it if it doesn’t actually have some sort of plot importance?

all this leads me to believe that the most likely explanation is the simplest one: the shadowed figure that looks like Kacchan... is Kacchan.

and I know that I said “simplest” just now, but obviously a revelation like this would be anything but. how and why would Kacchan possibly be chilling out in Deku’s OFA dream presented as one of the 8 previous OFA avatars?? and here is my best answer: I have no idea. lol. this is beyond strange. chances are that any explanation I can come up with is going to end up being wildly off base.

having said that, the rest of this post is basically just wild conjecture. because if it is Kacchan, then there’s really only one possible explanation for how it would be possible:

time travel, bitches.

I know, I know. first off: is that even possible? but I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say yes. partly because all things are possible, because quirks; and partly because superhero comic storylines are fucking rife with motherfucking time travel. it’s a comic book staple. some of the most beloved storylines (Days of Future Past, anyone?) hinge on it. so yeah, sure, why not? let’s say it’s a thing.

and so now we finally get to the part of the post where I basically go nuts and basically just describe to you all the elaborate time travel plot that I came up with. will this be what happens in the series? almost certainly not. I’ll be honest, I have no idea what’s actually going to happen. not the slightest clue where this is leading. this all still seems really weird to me. but what I can tell you is what kind of plot I would come up with if I was the one writing it, and basically just doing what I want but whilst trying to fit the plot within the existing canon and what we know.

so here goes!

AFO comes up with a plan to undo the whole “All Might melted off my face” thing -- nay, the whole “All Might” problem to begin with -- by sending someone back in time to halt the OFA cycle by killing one of the past wielders. (not sure why they wind up going so far back in order to do this; maybe they only have minimal control of the actual time travel and kind of have to work with what they’ve got)

it more or less works, but Deku and Kacchan are caught up within the time travel user’s quirk and thus spared from the Back to the Future-like effects. but somehow they’re able to see what happens, and they realize that the bad guy somehow altered the past and they have to figure out what (s)he did and stop them

whilst in the past, Deku spots someone he recognizes from his OFA dream (most likely the guy standing in between All Might and Trench Coat, by process of elimination) and is all “oh snap that’s one of my OFA homies”

he then realizes “oh shit Time Travelling Bad Guy is trying to fucking kill this dude” and so he and Kacchan try to stop it

they are only partially successful; TTBG succeeds in mortally wounding OFA IV (oh yeah, forgot to mention that it turns out this is the fourth OFA user). but, in order to keep the OFA line from dying out, OFA IV passes the quirk along to Kacchan (because it has to be him, because Deku already has it and no one wants to experiment with what might happen if someone gives you OFA twice. and also, it’s possible that at this point the mysterious shadowy figure in Deku’s head has cleared up some and he realizes that it is Kacchan, and that this is all part of some closed time loop/predestination paradox bullshit lulz)

so now Kacchan is all “wtf am I supposed to do with this shit now, though, I obviously can’t stay here in the fucking past forever, we’ve gotta figure out a way back” and Deku is like “yeah”

and something something plot coincidence they end up running into OFA VI (because Kacchan is of course OFA V, since it’s the only number that’s part of his name), a.k.a. Trench Coat, whom Deku also recognizes and is like “OH SHIT, KACCHAN, GO AND GIVE IT TO THAT GUY”

so they do, thus succeeding in preserving OFA so that Nana, All Might, and then Deku can one day receive it, and thus restoring the timeline back to its natural “AFO gets his face potato-ized by All Might whether he likes it or not” state

and something something they figure out a way back (or maybe the time travel quirk just wears off, maybe they only had 24 hours or some shit like that), The End

except not quite because lol now Deku’s got a version of Kacchan just chilling out in his head, so that’s fun. and then the one thing that I don’t really like about this theory: the fact that this means he’ll end up getting Kacchan’s quirk. though maybe he’ll just avoid using it since it doesn’t feel right. or maybe he can’t use it without injuring himself since his palms don’t have the same resistance to said quirk that Kacchan’s do. or something like that. or maybe he somehow doesn’t get the quirk after all for whatever reason, but that seems less likely though

aaand that’s it. honestly, this would be a lot of fun but it also seems... how to put this... wildly indulgent, lol. like, this would be a dream arc for me. so for that reason alone I’ve got a lot of doubts. and also I have doubts because it feels like something out of Star Trek. not quite sure that this would fit in with the general tone of the series. mostly it’s just me throwing ideas out there. but hey, it’s fun, so.

anyways, so this post ended up being so much longer than I originally intended, but tl;dr: whatever the case ends up being, I think that one silhouette likely is Bakugou, and the most likely explanation is that some sort of time travel is involved. other than that I really don’t have much of a clue lol. if you guys have thoughts hit me up!

so obviously it's impossible to divorce this point from shipper googles, and I realize that none of what's happening in this episode is in fact intended to investigate any sincerely-held suspicions, but good lord my dudes, if the doctor's working for an enemy organization, there's a Really Obvious First Guess, even and especially including the prison camp as central supporting evidence, and the aaaabsolute silence on that front is peculiar af. and not for the ship's sake really at all: are we at no point going to refer to who he spend those five weeks imprisoned with?

#ds9 tag #like the ship could be the chilliest most platonic non-relationship you care to imagine and could in fact always have been that #and he could still be his HANDLER #you know! on behalf of the man with whom he has a lifetime's close working relationship with doing shit exactly like this??#like even if Sloan's trying to assess loyalty #(though I do really like the 'S31 is made up and he's... something else' theory I've seen floating around)#do we have no interest in disproving that Very Obvious Guess?#like that'd sure still end up at the Dominion my dudes #indeed it is a little suspicious that he got out? isn't it also a little suspicious the circumstances and parties involved? just a smidge?#doesn't that five week period not even a tiny bit smack of making a fucking deal??#or like... what. what. it's just. so. it makes the end so weird #IS he in fact loyal to the Federation?#because you just... left... the very very very plausible actual counterargument to that hypothesis... entirely... untouched #I mean it really BEGS the damn question #anyway my increasingly already intensely enthused er... Tarashir? self is delighted by all this #but ffS people #I mean I guess as with the actual ship stuff I am gladder they were too chicken to touch it in any way #because it means they didn't paste some stupid but canon bullshit explanation on it #but like good GOD talk about unutilized plot elements #and tbh shipwise it honestly is another big character wtf re: Bashir #in that afaik this impeccable loyalty yadayada gets treated as like... true and a character trait #certainly in beta stupidity right but in alpha too?#and it's just... the evidence is not there #because they're too cowardly to address the elephant in the room #could it be true? absofuckinlutely of course #but for it to be convincingly true... the elephant my dudes #think of the elephant #anyway the presumably verbatim bit from his report is ridic too #like I'd love if he were lying but everyone knew the transmitter already existed so...?#and unless Martok was lying about the time it took

Hi! That may seem weird, but u are someone who ships jon+arya and i wanted to know, what made u ship them as a romantic couple? That isn't meant as an insult, just curious, because i stan their relationship as sibling. They are like those siblings, who are protective of each other But why as couple, and not just as siblings, who love each other? (I know they are cousin's) i have nothing against incest and that(its fantasy) but they come off as total loving normal siblings (for me at least)

I answered an ask a while back with the list of all my favourite metas that are much better researched and offer far more detailed explanations from a canonical perspective for why Jon/Arya isn’t a normal sibling dynamic and why they can’t just be dismissed as such.

I suppose that’s it, really. To me, they’re the definition of what pure love means, and I find the notion that they’re just ‘protective siblings’ far too limiting for what they really are. I have an older brother who’s incredibly protective of me too, and it’s because we’re so close that I find Jon/Arya’s relationship exceedingly unusual.

They see each other in the personalities and bodies of their love interests. They’re never far from each other’s thoughts. Home isn’t necessarily a place for either of them, it’s a person - it’s each other. And they know it. Bring her home, Mance.

They’re each other’s home because both feel they can only ever truly be themselves when they’re together. Arya thinks Jon is the only one who loves her unconditionally and Arya was the only one who ever made Jon feel like he belonged. That’s not just some loving sibling relationship, that’s incredibly intense stuff.

Unlike every other relationship in ASOIAF, there’s nothing that taints them, nothing but pure and unconditional love. Personally I think even ‘romantic love’ is too limiting for what they are. What do you even call something like that? It’s certainly unlike any pair of siblings I’ve ever seen or read about.

Jon and Arya are so tied together that it starts an identity crisis in both of them as they struggle to let the other ago. Arya can never truly be a Faceless Man because she literally can’t let Needle go. Needle is very much symbolic of Jon, and it’s the only thing that keeps Arya grounded because without it, she’s lost forever and she knows it. Jon spends ADWD struggling between Arya and the NW and like Arya, his vows are constantly tested because he just can’t let her go, when the NW (like the FM) demand it of him.

He dies for her with one of his last words to her on his mind, like holy fucking shit.

Robb didn’t make Jon break his vows. Ned didn’t make Jon break his vows. Bran, Rickon, Sansa - none of them made him break his vows but Arya.

I could go into their numerous parallels, the foreshadowing, the common themes etc. but that’s something others have done in far better ways than I can. Whether they’re endgame or not doesn’t bother me because they’ll always be the definition of love.

I’ve never seen anything like them in fiction before, not amongst siblings and not amongst lovers (save for TSOA tbh), where you love each other so strongly that you’ve tied the very essence of your identity to the other and the risk of losing that is enough to send you into a deep and personal crisis that eventually kills one of you.

What do you know of my heart, priestess? What do you know of my sister?

Like okay, say what you will about Jon and his future - but that right there is enough to tell me that Arya is and will always be a part of him. His fucking heart, someone murder me, I can’t oof. It’s so romantic that I’ve seen the quote used for other Jon ships because it’s just so swoon-worthy, ahhh.

I ship them because the idea of them being apart when all they appear to want is each other seems cruel. While I do have my other ships for both of them, I honestly don’t think either would ever be satisfied without the other. Now the most efficient way of achieving that would be to become a couple, but again, I just find that too simplistic.

So I really just ship Jon/Arya’s love, in whatever form that takes - be it staying siblings, cousins, or something more.
