One Thing I Really Love About Once Upon A Time Is How In Nearly Every Episode There Is Someone Angrily

idk JACK SHIT abt paralive but the tiger guy and his pastel goth bf are 🤭😳😳🥵

thanx

we usually think of mood as a scale from 1-5, but there's actually a negative scale too, where the frown turns back into a smile, but just a little insane !

Me: Likes one post

Tumblr: Oh you like this? You really really like this! You love this! It's the best thing in the world to you, yes!!! Here, do you want one more post like it? How about two- no three! Actually just take it all since you love this one random thing so so much!!!!

I am bored at work and doodled some Kanayui because the purple gremlin lives rent free in my head 24/7

(my headcanon is that Yui spends all he allowance buying sweets for Kanato to keep him happy 💜)

I am still a little miffed that Diabolik Lovers dropped the Kanato/Azusa plotline after MB because they literally fit perfectly!! Mr "I HAVE to keep torturing my lovers because if they ever get used to me they'll be able to stop giving me attention and i cant stand that also my mom only ever showed affection by using me" AND his perfect counter Mr "I need people to hurt me as proof that they need me because I have no other proof of existence or purpose in life" COME ON!!

Azusa is like the perfect character to disrupt Kanato's ideology. He's someone Kanato can't control using pain and HE'S the one in control even when he isn't trying. He's infuriating to Kanato because Kanato is the one who can't get him to just stay away and he's already totally used to violence. Yet, if Kanato weren't so fixated on control and maintaining a position of superiority he would actually probably be happy with someone like Azusa who gives essentially unconditional affection once he's become attached to someone.

At the same time, Azusa being so different also gives Kanato the chance to grow beyond being the bratty manipulative younger sibling that no one really likes but vaguely tolerates. Azusa is hardworking but strange and clumsy which even Kanato can see. As a noble, Kanato just can't stand how messy and clumsy Azusa is and ends up trying to act as a senior to show him the ropes. He ends up being serious and grounded amidst his haughtiness and that's such an interesting direction to take Kanato! I'd love to see Kanato's controlling behaviour have the chance to be something productive and personally meaningful!!

Instead Kanato gets the least development and even with the overall improvement in the twin's relationship, he still takes a backseat to Laito and Ayato...

TROPES/DYNAMICS I LIKE

as a com/darkshipper !

showed up one day x doesn't know where they came from

amnesia x someone they used to hate (bonus points if they find out and are afraid of them again)

brainwashed x the person trying to save them (bonus: they still betray them in the end)

hate each other but stuck together because of traumabonding

codependent addicts

father figure x traumatized boy (could be romantic or platonic)

dying x slowly killing them

catatonic x manic

on the run together

shy priest x depraved stalker

bully x bully (bonus if they're childhood friends) (bonus bonus for internalized homophobia)

the worst x hates them but feels obligated to stay because of an "i can fix them"

friends to lovers to enemies

trying to kill each other but they end up falling in love anyway (bonus if one of them is still forced to kill the other and it absolutely breaks them)

condescending x condescending-er

childhood friends but one forgot the other

reasonable response actually

Every day I get a little bit closer to wanting to do and host a massive tumblr art trade art blog event that's like Art Fight but for proshippers and is like CreativeClash but I'm the one in charge and doing it and hosting the fun team theme polls and stuff pensive 😔

I also get a little closer to wanting to host Proship roleplay blogs where people can look for RP partners

Once Upon A Time proshippers, please interact.

thinking about them…

This is EXACTLY what i do too i love when ships are toxic but i want them to have a happy ending too so they're toxic at first and fix themselves in the end

i keep enjoying toxic ships but whenever i do play with my dolls and make them kiss it always ends up with me putting them in a rlly cute wholesome storyline

like i enjoy valangel content but whenever i do that stuff on my own its always like

"okay and the evil and wretched valentino...got down on one knee and proposed because he loves angel so so so so much and he would die for him!! and then they got married and had true love's kiss and they lived happily ever after!!!!"

this also happens with snowbaird and ushka and masacrik. i love the appeal of toxicity but i always end up making them an AU where they're happy LOL idk if that qualifies as darkship or what
