idk man. it is sad hjkdfgs

katata~ okay this is hard because Jana/Cel already has all my feelings (with Jana/Vasili coming in second XD) but maybe like a 7ish because I always have my femmeslash goggles on. But I love their friendship and their sulking and drinking and awkward boy talk. And, really, I support all variations of Durmstrang incest because they are all so close, and I think these two girls understand each other really well. And they are obvs too cool for most boys so~

Dom/Bren lolol like 3. I have all the friendship feelings because I love the idea of them running around trolling and causing mischief and encouraging all of the shenanigans and eating popcorn and watching drama unfold. But they are both so incompetent at relationships, not to mention that neither of them are really looking for one. I just really can't see it ever being romantic or sexual. Maybe like really harmless, non-serious flirtation, but I think that is the most it would ever come to. That and with Rodom, Bren would be like nope not touching :|

Penny/Jana 6-7? I have a surprising amount of feelings considering that they've never actually interacted, I don't think. But I can see them nothing-facing at each other and getting surly or bossing andy around when they are trapped together. I could actually see them becoming friends. I also think Jana is Penny's type, not that Penny would ever, ever admit that. She likes women who are in charge, don't take shit, and don't waste their time. I think she'd really respect how few words Jana wastes and her sort of no-nonsense aloofness.

Vlad/Katja. Oh god. I don't even know. Like I really do have ALL THE FEELINGS and on a sexual/hotness scale, they're like a ten. But I can't really call them an OTP because it wouldn't work, at least not right now. If today, Vlad was like 'so, date?' Katja would say no (though I feel like she may regret that once it's way too late) I do think he's the kind of guy Katja tends to fall for, but I don't think he's really the kind of person she needs. Maybe they'd get their shit together and go out but I can't envision like ~weddings~ and ~true love~ or anything. But I also like that in a ship and some of my favorite ships have ended (or started) horribly. But on a fascination scale? I like it a lot because I like seeing Katja deal with maybe-feelings and jealousy issues and she will probably actually be upset if she learns that Vlad and Alice slept together but she won't know what to make of her reaction and I am really excited. So yeah. tl;dr, I have no idea where to place this. I will say like 9ish?

vlad/avery. I could actually see this working so let us say 9 again? Man, I cannot assign numbers to my feelings. It isn't that simple and there are too many factors. I will give you the short version of my feelings (and probably write up a long version later because oh my god, so many feelings). I just really love their dynamic, and I love how Avery relates to him- in the sense that everyone has this idea of him that he's trying to fight but he's also worried that people are right about him and that he can't really change and that he's not necessarily as together and happy as he seems. And I think they see the good in each other, when she reassures him that he's not a bad person and he deserves better than he thinks and when he turns her down and tries not to hurt her because he thinks she deserves better than him. I ship it in a 'I will fix you and make you better' kind of way, which isn't something I ever really envisioned for Avery. Which is probably why I love them. But I really like that it's potentially not one sided and they can go be broken and heal together rather than one person playing the hero. I will leave you with the song I have picked out for them because I am obsessed with it.

Avery/Cody. Their dynamic ended up totally different than I expected it to- same with her and Vlad, really- which I LOVE. I respond well to unexpected relationships, really. Numbers, okay. 8? Like, I could see them dating fairly successfully but it just couldn't be forever, thanks to her family pressures. But right now, I do think she sort of has a thing for him? She's sort of trying to talk herself out of liking Scor and Cody already knows all of her secrets and didn't run screaming so he has that going for him (and it seems he sort of responds to the damsel-in-distress thing). That and Cody is just delightfully charming and kind. She just thinks it'd be simple and fun and nice, and she doesn't want complicated (lolz, unlike Katja, who wants the storm and the ups and downs and the intensity). I really like it because holy shit, Avery opened up. She never does that, and I think their dynamic is really sweet. And they are both so pretty so there is that.

Katja/Riley. Lolz. Okay. I have all the friendship feelings. I love her unexpected soft spot for him and how his craziness won her over despite how she initially expected to hate him. And I like that he runs and hides with her and how she doesn't let him get away with anything but sometimes he ends up softening her temper so she tries to teach him rather than yell at him. I just love everything. But in an actual shippy way? I can't. He is not her type, and she isn't even remotely attracted to him, sexually or romantically. He is kind of her puppy, and I think she almost sees it in a sibling kind of way. So maybe like a 3 because I can't overlook how well their friendship works.

James/Aggie. 3ish, I guess? I don't really have any real feelings on them. Lauren and I never planned to have them get back together, and since we started the game post-breakup, we haven't played them out as a couple. I think I mostly like their relationship for what it says about James. I like that he really, really fucks up and I enjoy him trying to make amends for past mistakes in some ways. But at the same time, most people forgave him for it, which both surprised me and reaffirmed the idea I had of James as someone who does get away with a lot and can do very little wrong. I don't know. I have no interest in them dating again, but I like that this mistake is still dangling over his head and, in some cases, affecting how people act around him.

James/Qamar. 4? I don't really have a lot of strong James shippy feelings, really. I liked James and Clover a lot but. I don't know. I like their dynamic, but I also don't feel comfortable fully supporting it either. James is awful at figuring out what he feels, but I don't think that he actually has any real romantic feelings for her, and it isn't fair for him to lead her own. Yes, his intentions are good and he wants to make her happy and he doesn't see anything wrong with giving her a chance. But kissing her wasn't fair (though in his defense, he realized that after). But he doesn't really know how to be upfront with what he's thinking, especially when he's so uncertain, so he will probably continue to accidentally string her alone. Which is interesting from a plot point, but Qamar deserves better than that, which prevents me from really shipping it.

Sidney/Quinn. 2. I was always mostly indifferent to them, I must confess. It seemed really fast, and I never really got it. But it also happened at a time when I was really busy and couldn't stalk everything so my feelings could be stronger had I paid more attention. I will say that I like that they're still reacting to it because it isn't the sort of thing you get over in a week.

Alice/Vlad get their own post because of my explosion of thoughts
[info]wholeworldwon
2012-02-21 05:34 am UTC (link)
I think part of the reason I don't have strong Alice/Vlad feelings is because I have REALLY INTENSE feelings (though not really otp feeling) for him and Katja (and Avery, to an extent, but it's not going to happen in game and she's less crazy so it's less pressing, I guess). When I am like YES I LIKE THIS katja yells at me :| so. I like their friendship a lot, and I like that it brings out a different side of Vlad and that it gives Alice a chance to finally be honest for once and she needs that. But I think part of the reason it works is because there's not as much at stake. Like, a lot of times it's harder to talk about your problems with someone you're close to because they already have this really set idea of you and breaking that image can be hard (like, I feel like if Avery told someone that she really wasn't happy people would just look at her and be like wtf yes you are, you know?) And someone you don't know doesn't have those set ideas of you and you also don't have that emotional connection to them; it doesn't matter as much if they judge you or think less of you because you're not close.

So for them, it makes sense that they have these deep heart to hearts, but that seems to be the extent of their relationship? It doesn't seem like they just like chill and shoot the shit. But if they dated, there would be something at stake and the relationship would have to change, and I'm not convinced it'd be for the better. On the one hand, if Vlad already knows some of her deep dark secrets and isn't afraid, chances are he won't run if he learns one more. But if she started to actually care about him, would she still want to be that open and risk burdening him or changing his opinion or something. Idk, to me it seems like part of the reason she talks to him is because (she thinks?) she doesn't care about him. So what happens when she does? She's already hesitant to talk to Avery, so I don't know if she'd continue opening up to Vlad. And if she doesn't, would he resent that? Think he did something wrong? Or maybe just be convinced that he saved her, so to speak, but then would he even still be interested or would she come to resent not being able to talk as freely? And if she does continue talking to him, is it fair to always burden him with that when their relationship doesn't seem to be as reciprocal?

To me, it seems to be that they both respond to the idea of the other more than the person his/herself. For Vlad, here's this girl who is completely different from everyone he knows and she's broken and mysterious and not at all his former type and therefore, compelling. and maybe he could fix her to make up for his past mistakes and maybe if she could care about him, it'd be some reaffirmation that he can change? And for Alice, here's this boy she doesn't really know who caught her in a rare moment of vulnerability, and she needs those moments when she can express that she's really not as together as she seems and she needs someone who can love her and not leave her and maybe break that cycle of her always pushing people away.

But I feel like they miss the little things? I feel like their interactions are always so heavy and serious, which obviously serves a purpose and I enjoy it a lot, but they seem to lack the less important conversations or less deeply personal information on the other (like the other's ambitions, etc). It seems more they they're both responding to this concept and promise of something even if it's just relief from the pressure of daily life- in which case, what happens if it becomes daily life- but I don't really see what they as individuals and not as fantasies do for each other. I think it's that fantasy (which isn't really the right word because they know so much so it's very real, but that's the closest I have) that makes it work, and if you take that away, I'm not sure it can. Vlad can't indefinitely try to fix her, and if it gets too serious, I think she'd just push him away before he quits? And I feel like that a relationship as intense as theirs just isn't sustainable in the long run.

tl;dr, I think their dynamic is fascinating and I love their friendship (and how it's both too intense for a simple 'friendship' label but also so focused on one kind of thing that they don't seem like true friends), but I don't think I can really ship it because I am not sold that it could actually work and I feel like trying and failing would only mess them both up more. I also have no idea how to put a number on it because clearly I have way more thoughts on this than I anticipated and I really do love their friendship, but I also don't ship it. So let's say 5.

I also apologize for how incoherent this is and feel free to correct me if some of my interpretations are super wrong.

riley/sol let me start my saying that I love riley's respect and love for girls who can- and will- kick his ass. it just makes me smile. I like riley/sol a lot though. I tend to like ships that are more complicated than those that are simply and cute and no one would claim that riley/sol is all sparkles and rainbows. I like that it's messy and hard and a struggle and how sol warned him and threatened him and how it manages to be cute but in a really weird, subverted way. I just like their dynamic a lot. 9?

eddie/hal 10. you have to understand that raisa, lauren, and I have been playing variations of eddie, hal, and katja together for four years or so, and at this point, I really can't imagine either of them with anyone else. and it is also really, really satisfying to see them FINALLY get their act together and start dating. I just love their dynamic a lot.

corrie/quinn 7ish? I like how it's not rushed and feels real, like quinn not wanting to mess up another friendship and corrie questioning his relationship with sid. I admittedly haven't followed them as much as I want, but I think their dynamic is sweet, and I like how much they care about each other and how they're always there for each other. while I still like albus/corrie (mostly from a plot perspective), I think that right now, corrie needs someone more like quinn who's more stable and less unpredictable than albus.

1. why I played this character.
Because I love her? I don't know. You try saying no to Katja. She just popped into my head a few years ago and hasn't left since. But why do I keep playing her and why does she tend to be my first character? I love how refreshingly honest she is, and how she doesn't take any shit. I love how freely she gives herself and opens herself up and how deeply she feels everything. There's never a middle ground with her, and everything is always so intense. I love that she isn't afraid to speak her mind (and she never shuts up), even if it alienates people. I love that she cares so much and has all these big dreams and grand ambitions, but she has these little insecurities about whether she can really change the world, about whether she'll ever find someone else to be happy with because she doesn't think she can have everything. Katja is someone I relate to a lot (well, relate to and aspire to), and she's the character that I get the most, which is why I tend to play her a lot. I like playing her because often she's a polarizing character and I like playing characters that are harder to like. She's easy to get involved in things because she's loud, but she also often stirs shit, which is fun. Really, I was surprised by how well received she was at Feinted because I feel like recently, she's had more people who dislike her than than like her.

2. my favourite moment in canon for this character.
Oh god. Am I supposed to pick one? Lolz no. Cake vodka was super epic. I also loved when she tried and epically failed at flirting with Cody before she just gave up and stated that they should sleep together. I enjoy her feud with Garrett a lot, and her second entry about him is probably one of my favorite of hers. I really liked her conversation with Vlad when they were both denying feelings, even if it was really emotionally draining. I found it interesting because it was one of the few instances when Katja wasn't completely honest, but at the same time, she isn't really sure what the truth about her feelings is and she didn't want to blow it by rambling at him (lolz, which will come)

3. my favourite piece of headcanon for this character.
This is less specific than 'at age five, Katja first punched someone' but I really like her early years at Durmstrang. I will give you two for the price of one. I've always been really intrigued by how Katja defines her nationality, and at various times at Feinted, she's labeled herself as both Dutch and Russian (and been labeled Ukrainian). Dutch seems the more obvious since she lives in the Netherlands, but her mother didn't want her to ever lose sight of her Russian heritage. Her mum speaks to her in Russian and keeps her connected to her culture. I think growing up in Rotterdam, she was seen as the Russian girl. In primary school, she sometimes mixed up languages since at home, she was (and is) constantly juggling the two and was taunted for not even being able to speak Dutch right until she punched the kid in the face and they left her alone after that. But at Durmstrang, she's different because she's Dutch and the Netherlands isn't a country that normally sends kids there. So she spent all this time owning that she's Russian and proudly claiming it, but it feels almost like she's faking it at Durmstrang because she's never lived in Russia for any extended period of time, never been 100% immersed in the culture. I think sometimes, she still waits for Vasili to call her out on only being half-Russian. I think for someone who is so sure of who she is, it's interesting to see her less sure about what culture she belongs to.

katja part two
[info]wholeworldwon
2012-03-04 06:01 am UTC (link)
I also love how closely tied her feminism and her sexuality are. When she was in third year or so, she was questioning everything, and someone gave her a book on feminism and it clicked and she never looked back. She was exploring radical theories while other girls were learning about makeup, and in Feinted verse, she was experimenting with girls when other girls were discovering boys. Her first sexual experience was with a Dutch girl when she was 14 or so, and it seemed like a natural continuation of her feminism. I'm interested in how she defined that experience because now, she is like 'define sex however you want' (and she generally thinks if someone gets off, it's sex) but when she was younger, she still associated virginity loss with penetration and soon after she sought out a boy to lose it 'for real.' I think part of her is ashamed that she ever thought about it in those terms and that she ever discounted her experience with a girl as 'less real' somehow, not to mention that she put stock in the idea of virginity. But I think the fact that she was learning about sexuality and feminism at the same time was really important for her, and it's a big part of why now, she has absolutely no problem owning her sexuality, both in terms of orientation and desires. it was always seen as natural for her and she never learned to be ashamed.


4. Something about this character which makes me laugh.
I don't really think of Katja as a funny character so this is tricky. I really do love her approach to boys though. It always makes me laugh when she just propositions someone or advocates that someone does the same. She does not like to play games, thanks, and she has absolutely zero subtlety, which makes her ask Vasili upfront if he's trying to seduce her. I also like how she has somehow become the expert on sexuality (consent and orientation more than sex itself) and how she has people thinking about heteronormativity.

5. Something about this character which makes me cry.
I don't think Katja has made me cry in this verse, but she definitely has before. In earlier verses, she was really convinced that she's not the kind of girl that a guy falls for, and she was always more than happy with that because she didn't want a relationship. Until she did, with one of her best friends who was worse at relationships than she was, and at a time when all of her friends were beginning to date each other. So that was a period when she questioned herself a lot, both what she wanted and why she wasn't wanted. And then she got her heart broken when he rejected her really cruelly, and she never got over it. (lolz until they got together like 6 years later?). So yeah. That happened. So I guess that insecurity she has about her not being the kind of person you love makes me upset, but now it mostly makes me lol because she has since proved to be really good at unintentionally getting guys.

Though sometimes her choice in men is upsetting. She and Vlad ended up healthier than I expected, but she has definitely got into some really unhealthy sexual relationships with guys she hates. Seeing her deal with feeling used and disrespected and disappointed in herself for sleeping with this guy and being unable and unwilling to break out of this relationship was definitely heartbreaking. And it was kind of scary how simple it was for her (easily my strongest character) to fall into something so bad for her, even if in the end things mended themselves. I enjoyed exploring it because it was a side of her I never expected, but it was definitely emotionally draining.

6. One of your characters that I think would get along well with them.
I am too tired to go through your past characters to find someone who'd get along with her since I assume this means a character she's not currently playing with.

ahahaha IT IS ALL PART OF MY MASTER PLAN TO GET EVERYONE TO SHIP IT. and then for it to happen hdjkfgs

Penny on Scorvery. lolz, Penny hates it. It makes me lol forever because she is like LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER. SIDNEY IS INTELLIGENT~ She just thinks Avery is vapid and shallow and dumb and just kind of obnoxiously energetic. On the one hand, she understands why Scorpius could be drawn to someone who's the opposite of him and she does think he should be with someone who can help him relax. But on the other, there are plenty of other girls who are a little more free spirited but aren't complete idiots. Scorpius is intelligent, and she can't imagine that Avery can give him any sort of intellectual stimulation. She thinks Scor is just wowed by her beauty or something and the moments of freedom he gets with her, but she's convinced that he'll get bored and be unsatisfied. She also thinks Avery is a slut and Penny kind of slut shames. So. Oh, yeah, numbers. Like -5.

Cel/Jana. So many feelings hkdfgsd. 10, obvs. I just love their friendship and how they bring out different sides of each other (oh my gosh, durmstrang girls being silly? shocking~) and how well they know each other and respond to each other and respect each other. I just like how relaxed and at ease they are together, and they're both strong, guarded girls so that's not something that's easy for them to come by. It's hard to explain in a coherent way because a lot of it is just a gut reaction, but idk, I love it, I ship it, the end.

dani/james maybe a 6? I don't know. they haven't done anything in awhile, which is sad. I don't really ship them, but I like James's maybe crush on her (and I like it more that he is not her type). I enjoy him trying to figure his life out more than playing him with his shit together so. I think they're really sweet though, and some of their interacts have been really cute. And I like that it's mostly innocent. idk. I enjoy their dynamic a lot and I'd be open to them maybe going out but not for any extended period of time.

dani/bren. bren is one of my hardest characters to ship because he is the actual worst at relationships and the ships I have had with him have ended up as complete train wrecks or like crackships (like bren/elva xD) so maybe like a 3. I like the idea of them being friends who flirt and are silly and wear cowboy hats (she should give him like a beret and they can be ridic together xD) but I am not that interested in them hooking up, let alone date.

pen/sev. oh god. this is hard. on the one hand, I like their dynamic and how it's not really friendship, exactly, but they have this history- as in they've known each other forever and they slept together- and they can't ignore that. I like they're almost mean to each other, but it comes from a place of genuine concern and care and they're both a little rough around the edges. but obvs penny has no interest in men. so. and they also had the worst sex so that doesn't give them points xD but I like their friendship is hard and unexpected and complicated so idk. maybe like a 5

pen/dani I have more feelings on this than I should :| let's go with seven. penny thinks dani is kind of ridiculous and a bit if a tart and she doesn't really take her seriously. but they could have hot hate/denial sex like if penny angrily confronts her about her 'relationship' with jeremiah and with emotions already high, things just escalate from there. also dex/penny/dani. idk. I like crackship it because it is not going to happen in feinted

katani seven, eight, maybe? tough beater girls being awesome and fierce and hot together? yes please. they also need to talk boys more because it makes me smile. but then they need to agree that boys are overrated and hook up :| sort of cracky, I guess, but katja likes girls and can admit it so that makes it more plausible than penny, I guess. and they are already friends. I do like their friendship a lot though because while they are totally different in a lot of ways, they bonded through mutual respect and how they both want to prove the same thing. and I love that she is totally different than katja's other friends because katja generally doesn't have friends who are more feminine.

James/Clover 7, I think. They're really similar in some ways, and I think Clover gets him really well. He really values her opinion (and he appreciates that she isn't overly harsh with him, nor does she judge him) but she also has the ability to pull him out of a bad mood. I think they work really well together, and I think their friendship is super sweet. I do think James is a little bit in love with her, but obviously things are complicated with Aggie and Chase. But it's not like James has never fucked up in relationships so, had Clover stayed in game, I could see him making a move while she still had a boyfriend.

Brelva 9. Oh my god all my feelings. I just love love love their dynamic and how she's always so snarky and he's always so cocky and unfazed by her apparent rudeness (because he knows she's fond of him, even if she'd never admit it, and his ego has always been hard to bruise). I really don't understand quite how they became friends because bren isn't the kind of boy elva should be (non-romantically) interested in. but I like how she knows this other side of him but nevertheless, despite how she knows that he's not a complete idiot, she doesn't let him get away with anything. and he also pushes back and doesn't let her mask everything in sarcasm and wit. but I can't really see them seriously dating. really, I just can't see the labeled. I can see them living together and eventually sleeping together and then ending up like some old married couple but they still insist that they're single and not together.

roald/katja. I don't really have strong roald/katja feelings, but man, roald/katherine. I ship it. I just loved the hamilton verse when she propositioned him and he was like dammit, I can't stop thinking about this. and I love how possessive she gets of him, and even when she's spoken for, she really hates the idea of him dating anyone; she never really liked the idea of him with lucy and obviously she hates harper with a passion. I like how they balance each other out, but despite all of her eye rolling and nagging, he can still con her into an adventure. one day we should actually see what happens if they date because I think it would be ridiculous and intense and delightful. 8?

roald/avery 6ish, maybe. they need to have more adventures in feinted. I love how he brings out her wilder side when they go on quests and things. because she's not this little girly girl, afraid of danger and getting her hands dirty, and she loves his sense of fun and adventure. I just can see them being really silly and relaxed together. I would love to see their friendship in feinted get more developed, though I am not sure how much I actually ship it. I feel like I should since avery is kind of like baby harper, but I also think roald isn't the type of guy she usually falls for.

scorvery 10, obvs. they balance each other out so, so well. I love how she can get him to do all of these ridiculous things (paintballing~) and how he believes in her and knows she isn't a complete idiot. he calms her down and keeps her a little more grounded while she pulls him out of his shell. their dynamic is just so perfect and sweet and surprisingly awkward, but I love it. it is taking them forever to get their shit together in feinted, but I also like it because I enjoy exploring avery's lack of confidence and how she thinks he would never want to be with someone like her.

harper/roald 8. ahahaha god I love it. which is funny because I feel like we haven't actually played them together all that much, and it's mostly been explored in drabbles and conversations and, of course, hamilton. but they crack me up. poor roald is so whipped and I love how he doesn't really understand their relationship or why he's drawn to such a slytherin, but he just goes along with it. and she likes him because he's so gryffindor and she just finds him wildly charming. I also love how easy and nonformal it is; sometimes they're together, sometimes their not and it could be complicated but it's not, really, and it works for them.

gavin/elva. I really can't imagine gavin seriously romantically attracted to someone, but if anyone could change that, it would be elva. they're just so cynical and snarky together, and it is great fun. she's one of his few friends who he considers an intellectual equal and he has this really strong respect for her that he very infrequently has. they are just lovely friends, and he appreciates that she doesn't try to change him (slash give him morals). I crackship it, mostly, and I am forever loling over the idea of them breeding because oh god that poor child, he better be a genius. 6?

james/feiyi. I not so secretly ship this as well. they have the cutest dynamic, which isn't normally my thing, but I can't help but grin every time they interact. I just love how much they genuinely care about each other and aren't afraid to express it and how it never comes off as calculated. sometimes people say sweet things because they want something- or maybe they're just trying to seduce someone- but they are just genuinely affectionate and it's never some move or line. he is always so touched by her generosity and kindness and he doesn't always thinks he deserves it, but he loves responding with his own sweet remarks. he just really wants to be there for her because she is always there for him, and I just really don't know what he'd do without her, especially since she is so good at pulling him out of his teenaged angst. feelings, everywhere. 9?

penny/jj. I am really intrigued by them. I can't say I really ship it yet since most of their interaction is a) in my head or b) in your drabble, but I am so excited for their upcoming plot. I don't think penny really knows what to make of JJ because she's so unrestrained and uninhibited and penny is so guarded. she's both envious of and repulsed by how much of a non-issue JJ's sexuality is. she finds JJ vulgar and classless while at the same time, she's intrigued by this freedom that JJ has. and, really, I think it's the fact that in many ways, penny dislikes her (or dislikes the idea of her since she's the antithesis of everything penny's grown up believing she should be) that prompts her to seek her out. she doesn't think a kiss with her could be at all meaningful, and penny's not looking for meaning and she doubts JJ is either.

but I also really like the idea of JJ continuing it, more out of curiosity and a desire to push boundaries than out of any real affection. I'd be really intrigued to see how much penny lets her get away with, and I suspect she could get away with quite a bit, as long as penny pretends it's something she's just letting happen rather than something she actively wants. and I'd be curious to see if she could become less passive, but I also don't see JJ waiting around for her to get her head on straight, especially since it wouldn't be a relationship created out of respect or trust or even fondness.

katja/cody. I have an irrational amount of feelings for them, even if they could never work in the long term. their friendship ended up a lot less shallow than I anticipated, really. I expected them to maybe flirt (or cody to flirt and katja sometimes be receptive and sometimes shoot him down), but they ended up as genuine friends. you know, with a good dose of sexual tension thrown in there. which entertains me because katja really isn't used to being turned down so while she wasn't that interested when she initially propositioned him, I think she half feels the need to seduce him because she can and she doesn't like being told she can't have something (especially when he is giving her flirting lessons)

But I think I can mostly only see it as something physical or something short lived than burns hot and fast. the thing you need to keep in mind about katja is while she is horribly relationship-phobic, it is exceptionally easy for her to fall for someone even if she doesn't realize it and even if nothing will or should come of it. idk there is just a really thin line between romantic and platonic love for her, which makes it really easy to ship her with just about any of her friends. so I could see her at some point contemplating pursuing a real relationship with him. but they do want completely different things, and while they could maybe work for a short period of time, cody is looking for something more serious and she's really bad at committing. and he's traditional and she is radical, and it can't really work because their beliefs are so important to them and neither would be happy if they conformed to someone else's expectations.

cody/katja cont and on a smaller scale, I don't think she'd ever appreciate his chivalry as much as he'd want; I think he wants to pamper someone and treat her right and be the gentleman and she has no patience for that. and he wouldn't challenge her in the ways she needs. sure, a lot of his ideas of family and tradition are quite different from her ideas, but I don't think he really pushes her or questions her, and she needs someone who'd do that. I do love their friendship a lot and how despite how much they may tease each other, they have some really sweet, tender moments. but it is probably for the best that they stay friends, as much I want otherwise.

cody/avery I talked about them here for stevie, but I shall elaborate more because I clearly like to ramble about my feelings xD but the thought of him trying to save her absolutely breaks my heart. I think that's part of the reason she's responding to him because in a lot of ways, it's a relief for her to admit that she needs saving even if she wouldn't let herself be saved. but if anything happened, it would have to happen now. she thinks she can do what she wants while at hogwarts (part of the reason she's snogged a lot of boys) but once she leaves school, her life belongs to her parents. so I think part of her is really intrigued by the idea of pursuing a relationship that's completely different from the one she'll have after she graduates, and avery really is hungry for love (romantic, platonic, familial, whatever). so in the short term, yeah, I could see it happening but I feel like she'd have to be the one to initiate it if he wants to respect her family.

but another part of her is afraid because she doesn't believe that it's better to have loved and lost. she'd rather not know what that feels like because she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life knowing what she is missing out on. so I could see her asking him out (really, she has been seriously contemplating asking him to hogsmeade weekend) but I feel like if they dated, it would always have to be at some level superficial. which is tricky when he knows so much about her and when he so desperately wants to help her, but she'd be comfortable as long as they avoided love territory. it'd be very sweet and very simple and I think they could both give each other what the other needs in the short term. however I feel like it could potentially end badly. as much as she wants to, right now she's certain that she isn't going to abandon her family's beliefs, and I feel like trying and failing to help her would be really hard on him.

I also apologize how incoherent this is. I tend not to capitalize or use short sentences when I talk about characters/feelings and my headache is making everything worse dhkfgds

I swear I replied to this forever ago. IJ must've eaten my comment :(



However. ILU. All of the thoughts and the feelings! So much fun to read.


Also, perhaps I'm blind, but I saw no ward to Cody from Avery? Or was it back on an older entry?

Fish/Katherine 10 obviously. oh my god they are soul mates okay. Even when she ends up with someone else, she is never going to find anyone who understands her and compliments her and challenges her as much as Fish. I think part of the reason she always ends up with someone else is because she tends to be drawn to the big stormy, intense relationships, even if it shakes her or angers her or, frankly, is unhealthy for her. She tends to straddle that thin line between love and hate and she tends to fall for the boys who inspire some passionate response from her, even if that response is rage (and, you know, hate sex). Fish pushes her but quietly, and there's nothing dramatic about it that forces to her address this emotional reaction she's having. And she's so afraid of relationships so she doesn't go looking at them, even if I think there's always a substantial part of her that's in love with him, even when she's with someone else. But man, they just get each other so perfectly and I really don't think I have any ships that are better suited for each other, even though I ship katjarine with everyone.

Logan/Cal. Lolz, this is hard because I ship Cal/Blair really intensely xD Maybe like a 6. I like it for a short term thing, maybe after Cal and his muggle girlfriend broke up and he needs someone else but he's not ready for ultra serious. They're really sweet together, and it would be the most innocent, tender relationship, but it couldn't last. As shitty as some of my girls are at relationships, I think Logan is really the worst, and she just doesn't know how to commit to one person and how to give them everything. She'll fuss over you and care deeply for you, but she'll flit away quickly. I really cannot see her in a long term relationship. I do like the idea of her and Cal exploring that, at least for a bit though.

Clem/Fish oh my god my feelings, have all of them. They are easily like a 9 for me, in a fucked up, train wreck kind of way. It would be desperate and intense and ultimately hopeless because Fish isn't the guy Clem envisioned herself being saved by and she won't let him so she'll self destruct and push him away. It helps that they're both in love with other people, and they'll never not be in love with someone else. Clem isn't Katherine. She is never going to be Katherine, and Fish would have to be settling. And I think Clem could get over Jules, but her love for him is so complicated and she doesn't really want to move on. And it terrifies her how much Fish wants to help her and she's terrified of letting him because what if he fails and she's just more broken than before. I just can't see it being a happy relationship, even though I really, really want to see it. I like the trainwrecks.

Clem/Jules. Oh man. Okay. On the one hand, I ship them because I ship Clem/happiness. And I think getting with this unattainable boy of her dreams will help her. Maybe not in the way she thinks, but she was so shocked that Jules would change for her since she's always seen herself as the girl her mother left, not the girl someone changes for. But it also scares her because for all of her fantasizing, she never thought it would happen. I think she likes Jules because he's unattainable. He will never leave her because he will never be hers. I mean, I also think a part of it is Clementine is weirdly addicted to feeling sorry for herself so she can sulk and cry about how she's not enough for Jules and reaffirm that she's not enough for anyone so she can justify not trying. And that's definitely an element, but there's something safe in that. She's not challenging herself in any way. She's not pushing herself and she's not forcing herself to change even though she needs to. She just wants this boy for all these reasons- and he's one of her best friends so she really does like Jules the person, not Jules the fantasy savior- but she doesn't want to try and fail. And Jules makes it so easy to not try because failure seems guaranteed. I really wish I had seem them together more because I'd be really interested in seeing what happened when all of these ideas she had about him are really shattered. But man, I like cried when he asked her out because she was so overjoyed and Clem has never been happy. So 9? idk

Bren/Maggie. Again, I ship it in a train wreck kind of way, but god, they are awful for each other. Maggie is so emotionally needy and Bren is so emotionally distant so it was doomed from the start. He was never going to be able to give her what she wants and what she needs. And it is a problem when she so badly needs this to works, and he just wants it to- but for her sake, not his. He was right the first time when he broke her heart. But I do like how Brennan was forced to grow up. He really did try. He fucked up a lot along the way, but he really did do his best. He really wanted to care about her as much as she cared about him, and that was a big thing to him because Brennan is usually happy with his indifference. So in some ways, I'm glad they happened because I think it helped him. But it also hurt Maggie way more than it helped him so. Like 7 maybe?

Amaury/Lucy. They are really cute. I like that he can show off his charm, and Lucy is so cute when she's lovesick (lolol her post about seeing him half naked is my favorite). I like that she doesn't lose her fire with him. She's charmed, sure, but she'll still tease him or throw him completely off guard (like when she wanted to learn how to smoke). I am intrigued by the idea of them actually dating. But I am also intrigued by the idea of him breaking her heart. In verse when they're older, I'm mostly the latter because Amaury is more self-aware then. He knows what he's doing. He knows she thinks this is more than it is. He's not malicious and he's genuinely well intentioned and he really is very fond of her, but I like that side of Amaury a lot, when he can justify deceiving people by claiming altruism. I like how there's something so calculated about his flirtation with her, but he still jumps through hoops to assert to himself that he's different from Bastien. And I'd love to see what happens if she caught on. I don't know how she would, but she would justifiably be outraged, and I'd love to see the fallout and him try to justify it. But in verses when they're younger and Amaury lacks that self-awareness, I really do ship it. I'd like to see what happens when she takes him off a pedestal and pushes him a bit and when the relationships moves past sweet, innocent flirtation. Idk, 8? I am really bad at putting a number on my feelings hdkgfs

Amaury/Anna oh god. I love it. I don't ship it, not in the slightest, and there would never be anything romantic about them and probably not something sexual either. But I love that she sees right through him and I love how corrupting him as become her pet project. She brings out a totally different side of him, and I love seeing Amaury drop the nice, polite boy thing and get angry because he sees right through her too. It's this complicated game and she taught him and pushes him to own up to who he really is, and he resists, he has</> to because the worst thing he could ever be is Bastien, and he just tries harder to be good. I am just endlessly fascinated by their relationship, and I've love to explore it more when they're older, to see if she could ever succeed because I really love that potential for darkness in him, and I want to explore it so badly.
