This post instantly broke containment, and the number of fandoms listed in the notes—quite a few with WIPs underway—is absolutely astonishing. I’ve never heard of half these pairs. Good work, fandom! Carry on!
everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye
clocking at the tumblr factory to romanticize dysfunction, eroticize divorce, and glorify codependence!
