When I Was A Kid I Would Get A Sick Thrill From Learning Someones Middle Name Now I Dont Feel Anything

Walter: Got a job for you, 621. This one comes from Balam's Redguns. Let's see what they've got for us.

Michigan: Attention, G13 Raven! This request comes from the Vespers and the rest of the Redguns. You've been invited to the annual Balam-Arqurbus Cooperative Enrichment Stay -- or, in other terms, a sleepover! Your job is to locate the Walmart in the Contaminated City, and buy a party pack of cheddar cheese Ruffles! Your handler will transfer the credits to your account.

Michigan: We look forward to seeing you tonight, G13! We'll be voting on two movies to watch -- The Princess Bride and Mean Girls. If you're not comfortable sleeping in the same bed as Rusty, I have a rollout for you. Full attention, G13! See you there, champ. Walter: A sleepover, huh? I'll transfer you the credits. About time you've made friends, 621 -- even if they're rivals. Have fun out there, I guess. Ayre: Raven... Can we watch How to Train Your Dragon 2 instead? I've already seen Mean Girls and The Princess Bride.

my bravest knighttt... come hither ..... mmmwah !! ok you are dismissed

Arranged Marriage Tropes

The Reluctant Pair

Neither of them wants to be there. They're totally against the idea of being forced into this situation, maybe they had plans for their own future, or they're just stubborn about being told what to do. But then surprise, they start catching feelings. It’s the slow burn we all live for.

Enemies to Lovers

This is the ultimate trope. They start off hating each other’s guts, refusing to even look at each other. Every interaction is dripping with sass, sarcasm, and all kinds of tension. But then, somehow, the sparks turn into a fire of a different kind. They go from "I can't stand you" to "maybe I like you more than I thought."

The Fake Marriage

This one’s gold. They both agree to pretend to be the perfect couple just to get their families off their backs. Of course, faking love gets tricky when you actually start to feel something. It’s all "pretend to hold my hand" until their hearts decide it’s not so pretend anymore.

The Love Triangle

The classic dilemma. One character’s already in love with someone else, or someone new shows up just as the arranged marriage is about to happen. Cue the inner turmoil, awkward run-ins, and the big decision, who will they choose?

Cultural Clash

They come from totally different worlds. There’s misunderstandings, awkward moments, and all kinds of learning curves as they figure out how to make it work. It’s not just about learning to love each other, but also learning to respect their differences. Bonus points for growth.

Family Drama

The families are pulling all the strings here, putting a ton of pressure on the characters to get married. Maybe one’s doing it out of loyalty, maybe the other’s feeling trapped. Either way, it’s a balancing act between family expectations and their own desires. Cue the emotional drama.

These tropes are like comfort food, familiar but so satisfying. Whether it’s the enemies-turned-lovers drama or the slow realization that they’ve fallen for each other, these stories are all about the rollercoaster of emotions. You start off thinking, “They’re never gonna work,” and by the end, you're rooting for them to make it.

Yknow the side of my jaw up by my ear really hurts and I can’t help but wonder if I made some homophobic wizard or witch mad at me via the role of YaoiMaster655

You're 22 your life is just be-ENDING! Because its OVER! You're FUCKED!!!!

Have spent months not caring about how I look very much because there’s no queer people I’ve been caring about the opinions of but I made a friend and went to a trans somatic group and right at the end the hottest man/person I had EVER SEEN IM MY LIFE walks past me and I longingly gazed back at them before remembering I am a slob with Dr Pepper all over my clothes from when it blew up on me, and fading red/pink hair, and burgundy nail polish on ONLY ONE HAND that’s chipped

And my shirt today is FUCKING HUGE LIKE A SMOCK it isn’t form fitting

I need to train…

I filmed stuff for a “lyrical film”. I basically made this one a music video. The song is Brian is the Most Beautiful

Taking a trip to Rubicon 3 for this comm of Yue Yu (and little Ziyi) from Armored Core 6! Fun change of pace to draw a game character, as I don't tend to draw a lot of fanart.
