Regarding Warcraft I thought there was a super cool thing but it turned out disappointing.
On the launcher there was a “create your party wallpaper” type thing where you could pick your background, select your characters, and have them stand in heroic poses.
Problem is a) it’s limited to three, b) my rogue needs a cool transmog and c) my druid doesn’t shapeshift into kitty form and he’s a kitty so that doesn’t work.
My paladin in golden armor, because I quested alongside Turylon, popping wings and fighting demons and had to go full on iconic paladin – she would look badass if there was a pose selector. I mean no sword? Seriously not cool.
@sarashouldbestudying are you a mind reader? Just yesterday I was contemplating making a page for my blog so I could gush over my ships. I didn’t in the end because I figured that would turn into gushing over shows generally and that it would get long and boring with me just going “ahhhh I love it!” a lot 🙂 *rolls eyes at self*
Anyway this is the excuse I’ve been looking for *cracks knuckles* and just like you, I’m going to stick to one per show or I’d go over five. Although … maybe not? There are different levels of ships or more accurately levels of obsession on my part.
Rumbelle (Rumple and Belle, Once Upon a Time)
^^ the moment I started shipping them, especially with how awkward they were afterwards! I mean Rumbelle is just a given on this list right? Over 500k on AO3 says I have a *cough* minor obsession. It’s just there’s so many layers, and variations, and incarnations, and it’s still all just them because true love.
Evlynn (Flynn and Eve, The Librarians)
My latest obsession, oh merlin they are perfect. She’s tough, no nonsense and organized. He’s a little crazy, reckless and absolutely definitely doesn’t need her help. They clash as she wants to plan and he just dives in but they accept each other. It’s like ying and yang, two halves that separately struggle but combined are unstoppable. Librarian and guardian. I’m not doing them justice. I think Charlene said it best in the very first episode with “you’re perfect” because yeah, the chemistry is off the charts.
“I love you more than learning itself.” “Kissing you is exactly how I’d want to spend eternity” and lets not forget “there you are” as they true loves kiss twice in one episode.
Come back alive Librarian!
Fitzsimmons (Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, Agents of Shield)
The perfect embodiment of best friends to lovers, who are still best friends and don’t forget that because they are also in love. It was a slow journey as Fitz loved Jemma first, and Jemma just had him in the ‘best friends box’ and it took a season for her to think actually I have always loved him, he will always be my best friend but he could be more. That transition was believable and then they went through the true love test.
I’m talking constant, painful separations but they always find each other. They dove through a hole in the universe for each other. Fitz literally to another planet, and Jemma into a virtual world. Nothing, not time, not space, can keep them apart. They are stronger together.
Jack and Irina, Alias
I don’t talk about them much because Alias ended what back in 2005? But I rumbelled their relationship in Between Two Fires. Basically KGB agent Irina Derevko went undercover to seduce CIA agent Jack Bristow so she could spy on him longterm. The one thing she didn’t count on – falling in love with him.
It ended badly of course. She faked her own death as an extraction but twenty years later despite everything he still loved her too. It was painful, there was no possible happy ending really because too much had happened. They worked against each other more often than they worked together but that bond of love never went away.
Jefferlynn (Jefferson and Lynn, Black Lightning)
Divorced, still friends, co-parents and very much in love. They separated because it was a bit like there were three people in the relationship. Jefferson, Jefferson’s hero work and Lynn. It wasn’t that Lynn didn’t want to share, it was that she was scared. He came back hurt and she thought it was going too far. He started off going after big targets in Freeland, doing what the police couldn’t, but then he didn’t stop and it took over.
It’s one of those relationships where they are both right and they are both wrong. It’s about fear more than anything and that’s not always logical. Lynn was scared of losing him so she walked away. It’s really well done and nuanced on the show. They could have turned Lynn into a villain but they didn’t. They fleshed it out showing that everything she did came from a place of love.
Like is telepathy a thing? If I think about something, does it somehow make other people notice it?
You anon have perfect timing, you are right on the money – there WILL be more In Your Arms, this month in fact!
I don’t want to spoil the fic but I think I can safely say that a) all your questions will be answered and b) there will be a happy ending – when do I not? 🙂
Note to self: When excitedly chatting about fics with people in messengers, make sure to copy the notes to your computer or you. will. never. find. them. again.

I suppose I could take the view that anything I’ve forgotten wasn’t that good in the first place except it never feels like that. Recreating something always feels secondbest to the original.
I just decided to change my icon because it had been awhile and I’m totally in love with The Librarians and just have to shout that to the world heh BUT
posted something and didn’t realize it was me.
Why do I change icons when I hate it when icons change? I rely on them so much for identifying people. I’m a huge hypocrite.
Are any of your characters based on real people? No. Now if the question was “are any of your characters inspired or influenced by other characters”? Then yeah absolutely! I’m not talking about the fact that it’s fanfic and therefore based on characters either. Take Between Two Fires for instance – hello Jack and Irina from Alias. The Price We Pay morphed into something else eventually but I had Mia from The Princess Diaries in mind originally. Still rumbelle of course but there’s scenarios and facets from others in there too.
What’s a pairing (romantic or platonic) that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind? Erm wow this ones hard. Exposure to pairings have made me love them more but I don’t know if I’ve ever changed my mind completely. My opinions usually just get reinforced. That isn’t always the case with everything. Tumblr has persuaded me to give entire shows a second look (Farscape being a case in point) but I don’t think that’s happened with pairings.
I actually posted a thing! –The Wedding Job *falls over* I know it’s been a year – literally. Here’s hoping it’s not a one-off and instead the start of moar things.
So yeah blow up the old askbox, let’s have some fun! 🙂
I just googled Infinity War DVD release date as my dash has so many gifs and I feel an anti-football rant coming on.
Google tells me …
US digital release: July 31st, DVD: August 14th
UK digital release: August 20th, DVD: September 3rd.
As far as I can remember this delayed home media release didn’t happen before hence my suspicion about the bloody football.
Usually the UK gets marvel movies a week earlier than the US. I have been known to joke that it is our one compensation as we have to wait a year or more for everything else BUT with Ant-Man and the Wasp – WE STILL DON’T HAVE IT! Reports say the date was pushed back a month because of the World Cup and nobody would go to the movies when the football was on.
Wheee I actually did things today eventually. Slow start but fic got proofed and posted *falls over* but but but! Far more importantly I actually read and reviewed a fic.
Monday you are hired! (As opposed to the usual firing hehe) 🙂
I want to keep this going. Review more fics! Also on the list for tomorrow is some drawing, it has been far too long.
Oh and I know I probably should be sorry (but I’m not) at how stocked my queue is with The Librarians. I’m just overflowing with love for it right now.
