Imagine your otp gently touching foreheads with half lidded eyes and soft smiles while they gaze lovingly at each other, holding each other’s hands delicately. Now imagine one sneezing and smacking their heads together.
my favorite relationship trope is where person A is literally an asshole to everyone but person B scoops up their little bitter ass with their angelic personality and person A becomes a love struck fool
Don’t get me wrong, sex is great, but I would rather spend the night learning everything about you and hearing every story you have. To me, that’s far more intimate.

well yes of course i want my otp to be happy
but first let me see one of them choking back tears at a hospital bedside while the other lies in a coma (◉‿◉✿)
law enforcement / government muses running a raid on the lab & finding kate
& she’s listless & half - dead & broken
& they try to get evidence from her but she’s like completely unresponsive for a really long time
& they talk about putting her in an institution since she’s literally incapable of doing anything
& then one day she breaks down in tears & it’s the first response they’ve seen from her since they took her off that table
& they’ve been looking for relatives to inform but they don’t have her name & she’s never been arrested & her parents never reported her missing
& she’s finally able to answer their questions
her having nowhere to go & one of the team that finds her offering a sofa for a couple of nights
but it turns into a longer term thing
an d she is just living there in the end & she’s slowly getting better
& she ends up asking if she can join the team because she wants to help people the way no one helped her
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have a beautifully horrible about thing that i might have mentioned before eh :
when kate meets people who have no prior knowledge of the lab , and they ask about her scars , she does not tell the truth !
she is a fantastic liar. but when she’s drunk ( and she meets most new people when she’s drunk ) , her lies become fantastical & idiotic. she tells tall tales of running away to the circus & being mauled by lions , of being a child vigilante & getting in knife fights , of meeting giants & fairies & being whisked away to magical worlds. these lies are all interchangeable , & as she gets closer to people , & they ask again , the stories always change , or she gets defensive and walks out. it’s only when she’s very close to someone , or if they catch her mid - breakdown , that people will get the full , true story.
& all i want in the world for kate is her being with a girl for a few weeks or even months , saying i love you way before telling the truth , lying together in bed with fingers intertwined , fingertips tracing the edges of scars & kate being asked about it with a no bullshit disclaimer , because she’s already spun twenty five different stories for her lover. all i want is kate slowly sighing , staring up at the ceiling instead of at the girl lying next to her , letting go of all the defensiveness & smashing the last wall between her & true intimacy. all i want is kate ending up sobbing into her girlfriend’s arms- arms which won’t hurt her , which will keep her safe- and apologising too many times , and letting herself be broken , and being reassured that now we know where you’re broken , we can start to fix you .
smol characters pinning tol characters to the wall and whispering i’m in control now.
my aesthetic: when one character gets possessed/loses control of their powers and then another character - heedless of the danger - rushes forth to embrace them and snaps them out of it
my aesthetic: when it doesn’t work
