Happy Pride Y’all! 

the fact that shows like first kill, motherland: fort salem, batwoman, and the wilds with female, poc leads + actual wlw rep (that’s actually canon and involves the main leads and not just an afterthought or smth) get cancelled almost immediately infuriates me to no end godddddd

Shinarthur hc part2

-It’s cannon that Shinra likes break dancing but I think Arthur prefers ballroom dancing but is more than happy to watch and participate in Shinra’s favourite type of dancing.

-Arthur tried it once but ended up straining his wrist and making a fool of himself. It was pretty embarrassing- but Shinras laughter was totally worth it.

-Vulcan 100% was the first one to comment on their feelings in Company 8. Everyone else knew something was up but was to respectful to comment. Vulcan however has no chill.

-Obi is a bit worried as your not allowed to work in the same Company as your SO and some Companies are very religious. But despite all that Sister Iris and may other Company leaders have been very supportive, if not confused.

-Princess Hibana 100% tried to set those dumbasses up. And is totally their hype women. After she gets past the fact that Shinra doesn’t like her, she realises she respected him more than loved him. (I mean she still does love him. It’s just no longer romantic)

-Ogun is never the 3rd wheel. Mainly because it’s a fucking tricycle ride with those 3, as only one of them has the singular brain cell at any one time. Furthermore, Shinra and Arthur aren’t much different than they use to be and the only difference there is, is that they are all more physically affectionate with each other and there’s more pet names and flirting.

-Ogun also likes to tease them about their relationship and how long it took for them to actually get together. Arthur and Shinra don’t really mind it, and tease Ogun back for embarrassing things he said and did in an effort to play matchmaker.

-Obi is very supportive but ends up acting as a parental figure and gives the boys individual the ‘shovel talks’. It’s pretty funny to outsiders but the duo are pretty horrified in the moment.

-Iris 100% is also supportive but because of religious reasons doesn’t really ‘get it’ for a while but after Maki explains everything, she is ready to fight anyone who is homophobic.

-also Iris ends up coming out as bi later on, everyone supports her.

-Tamiki ends up using they/them pronouns and Shinra and them bond over being non binary, victor joins them as he is also non binary.

-victor uses all pronouns.

-Hibana likes to tease them about how they ever ended up together and she and Arthur have this friendship where they both ‘insult/make fun of each other’

-After Arthur tells Shinra about him being abandoned, Shinra decides that he is never leaving Arthur ever (not that he planned to) and doesn’t leave his side for 2 weeks. Arthur reassures him that he knows Shinra won’t abandon him but makes him promise to always come back and not die.

-Both of them have a lot of trauma and spend countless nights up late processing and supporting each other through it.

-They end up getting therapy at some point and they often go together for support and comfort

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN SHOW ABOUT WEE WOO TRUCKS WHAT THE FUCK

Human writer brain: I already have multiple projects I'm working on, and should not start new ones until I finish the ones I already have

Monkey writer brain: hehe new idea shiny

Okay but imagine

Attack on Titan Scouts fighting titans in heelies (in the summer) or ice skated (in the winter)

Buck is not a tactile person, at least not in the way we think.

I know in fanon and fanfics, many of us (especially me) love to imagine Buck as someone who constantly presses these small touches into the ones he loves. Except, he doesn't.

Don't misunderstand, Buck thrives on physical affection. Some of his happiest moments are when he receives that form of love. Except, when he gives it, it's almost always under a specific condition.

Buck waits for near-explicit consent.

Hear me out:

It's not as if he doesn't touch people, but it's very much a needed-as situation on the job and then rare occasions such as celebrations with the team. And again, it's never those small, mindless touches of someone who just wants to physically feel someone they care for.

Even in the scariest moments, he waits.

And we can infer he accepted her permission because we see Buck this terrified for a loved one the very next season. Except, he doesn't get any request for comfort or form of consent then.

They're both obviously in critical condition. Both need medical attention immediately. Yet, Buck takes the time to hug and comfort Maddie because she asked for it.

He clearly doesn't mind either option. He's overjoyed just to see them alive. And that's the point. For Buck, these interactions aren't about him. Which is why he doesn't actively pursue them. (Not saying he shouldn't. I, personally, think he should.)

This is a perspective I think many authors can take advantage of when writing fanfiction.

I am not saying to stop writing Buck as openly tactile. I'm saying write both. Write either. Write it all. I need more of this when I search my ship.

And in case you didn't know, EDDIE is the one more openly, physically affectionate between the two of them. 100%. But that's a separate post if you want it.

Also, Buck does not hold these standards when it comes to Chris. Also another post.

Bonus :

The only time I could actively remember Buck touching Eddie without consent (when he wasn't saving his life). Season 2x14 "Broken". This wasn't the first time Eddie had been in danger, but it was the first time he was in danger without Buck there. They were ready to run into the house after he didn't respond on the radio. Eddie came out after his "Spiderman" routine, saving a child in the process. Buck couldn't help himself.

(Just gonna mention how the physical distance between these two has only grown after every time Eddie's needed help... Hmm...)
