Thoughts ahead about Damian and Anya

anyway. the more i think about it, the less sense it makes for Anya to ever reciprocate Damian's feelings. at least, for what we've seen in the show and manga, he does not register as "a boy" or "someone to be romantically involved with"

One, for the obvious reason that she's like 4-5yo.

Two, for the fact that Damian has been mean to her (with moments of sincerity sprinkled in between). overall her impression of him is not good, but because she knows he's important, she'll continue pursuing his friendship, to the misunderstanding of all those around her.

okay hold on, i had a thought that is redeeming Damianya in my mind.

If their current state of affairs continues, Anya will continue to have no reason to like him, even as she matures and starts being able to have romantic feelings for people.

Because, for starters, Damian is mean to her and is prone to over-reacting when Anya does something that makes his heart race. overcompensating the fluffy feelings with verbal negativity. So even if Anya could read his mind, his thoughts and his words are complete opposites. Which would confuse her.

And you might think, "why would they confuse her? Loid thinks different things than what he says all the time and she gets it!"

the thing with Loid is that Loud is purposeful in his actions. so even when he verbally lies, he knows he is lying which lets Anya know that he is lying.

i think Damian, because he wants to doubt and deny his feelings, his actions are sincere reactions to his thoughts. he's conflicted and confused about his thoughts, so Anya is confused about his thoughts.

Not to mention that we dont know, as an audience, if Anya can "read" people's emotions as they come to them. We only know for sure that she can read their thoughts.

So though Damian's emotions feel positively tiward Anya, his thoughts-in those moments-definitely do not.

for sure, Anya is highly emotionally intelligent. we've seen her read people's minds and deduce how theyre feeling, often offering them pats to soothe them. but this onky shows that she can understand people's emotions through their thoughts. does that make sense?

anyway, the only possible way that Anya could reciprocate Damian's feelings (if he ever comes around to admitting them to himself before he simply Gets Over them) is through the power of proximity.

People tend to develop crushes on those that they spend a lot of time with.

Alternatively, i can imagine Becky trying to describe Love to Anya, and telling her that "you know youre in love when you think about them all the time!"

And Anya being shocked because she thinks about Damian all the time (for the sake of the mission in becoming his friend) so is she in love with him? and then confusingly going along with the notion that maybe she is in love with him (even if she's not) simply because of that one thing.

Then, because she has it in her head that she's in love with Damian, eventually she actually falls in love with him.

Truthfully, i still dont ship Anya/Damian (Anya/Ken my beloved) but their relationship IS a very interesting dynamic.

REALIZED THAT THE OLKA/ZEB ANON ACTUALLY ASKED OLKA & ZEB SO HERE YOU GO

Zeb thought that when Olka's husband was out of the picture, it would give him a chance. And at the funeral, he secretly rejoiced.

But when he saw Olka mourning, with her son in her arms, he felt like he'd been hit with an icy tsunami.

He'd been so caught up in his own emotions, he forgot to consider Olka's, and in realizing this, Zeb convinced himself that maybe he wasn't in love with Olka after all.

After the funeral, when he and Olka were the last ones there. He asked her how she felt.

Her tears streaks reflected the cold ceiling lights and highlighted the splotchy redness of her face. His stomach dropped.

He held her in his arms when she initiated a hug as she began to sob again, resting his chin on her head. His heart no longer raced at her touch. He must've been right.

After making sure she got to her room safely that night, he spent a lot of time reflecting. He loved her. He was sure of it. But now he doubted that it was ever a romantic love to begin with.

He was grateful to her. He appreciated her. He wanted to protect her. He wanted to be close to her. He felt so intensely about her, that years of watching romance movies alongside her made him think that he was in love with her.

But he wasn't.

He was sure of it now.

McMahon & Martha for the ship ask game, please. Preferably platonic if that's ok.

Send me a ship and I'll write a fanfic idea

Martha Marriott and Matthew McMahon met for the first time in city hall.

She had gone there with Becky, who needed to see Yor Forger for whatever reason. While asking the front desk attendant about Yor's whereabouts, Matthew came forward and said that he could lead them to Yor.

Then, while Becky talked to Yor, Matthew and Martha stayed at the doorway, observing the two.

He doesn't know what compelled him to speak, but Matthew made a comment about Yor becoming more social since her daughter got into Eden.

Martha responded by expressing that Becky had also become a more caring and social person ever since she started Eden and that she thinks this was a result of Yor's daughter becoming her friend.

They didn't say much afterward. They didn't need to. They were in their later years, things like this didn't need to be expressed.

When they would bump into each other at city hall, or in public, they would exchange conversation and go about their day feeling lighter.

ALTERNATIVELY

Martha Marriott is a part of the garden. She joined the Blackbells to get information on any potential clients that the Garden would need to deal with.

She joined in her early teens when she noticed her best friend of five years getting hurt because of his new job. She cried and begged and threw many a tantrum in order to convince him to let her join him at work.

She was horrified to find out what Matthew had been up to, but what could she do when she was the one who insisted on letting her work with him instead of telling him to quit?

Funnily enough, through working together at the Garden, they became even closer friends than before. Funnily enough, it was because of the Garden that they became distant.

Olka and Zeb?

It had only been six months after the start of their new life when Gram Gretcher called Zeb "dada".

It came as a shock to the two adults in the room, both of them looking at each other before Olka knelt beside her son and tried to explain to him that Zed wasn't his father. Of course it fell on deaf ears.

"I think you should explain that to him once he's old enough to understand..." Zed tries, a little upset. He shouldn't' feel upset. It was true that Gram wasn't his son, after all.

"I just don't want him to grow up thinking that his father is alive," Olka reasons. "Beside, if he doesn't understand soon, when would be a good time for him to know? When he's gone his life thinking you were his dad? It would just make him feel complicated."

"Maybe just get him to call me Zeb instead of dad? Maybe he'll grow up understanding that 'Zeb' is not 'Dad' by word association?"

Olka sighs.

They sit in silence for a second, Gram continues playing with the toys on the floor, unaware of the weird tension in the room. It's Zeb who breaks the silence first.

"Would it be so bad? For him to think of me as his father?"

Olka stares at him, confusion apparent on her features.

"I mean, we can tell him... after he's grown up more, that I'm not his biological dad. But I can still be his dad?"

"Zeb, what are you talking about?"

"I mean to say that I wouldn't mind... if Gram considered us his parents."

.........

Zeb coughs into his hand, speaking up again when Olka doesn't respond. "I like you, Olka. I- It started when we were young... So, what I mean is that, if you would have me—"

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay," she reassures him, smiling gently.

millie/franky pls

Send me a ship and I'll write a fanfic idea

Millie is a flirt. She loves to meet new people and isn't afraid to go after men she wants. Still, her confidence doesn't prevent her from breakups.

Every time she breaks up with another one of her boyfriends, she finds herself at the same bar. And every time she goes to that bar, she finds the same man at the bar counter, crying about his love life.

After one particularly bad breakup, she decides to say "fuck it" and just mess around with guys. No strings necessary!

So she goes up to this pathetic man, who's crying about his love life again and talks to him.

"I don't know if you know this, but every time I come here, you're always crying about one thing or another."

Franky looks at this woman, a little irritated that such a pretty girl is choosing to tease him about his love life when he knows she doesn't have trouble in that regard.

"Well, that's funny because, believe it or not, I don't come here all that often," he says, sitting up and wiping his tears away. Taking a look at his empty cup, he asks the bartender for a glass of water.

"It is funny," she says, ordering herself a simple cocktail, " because I don't come here often either.

"Hmph! Well, how come I've never seen you around?"

"Like I said, you're always crying," Millie says, shrugging her shoulders. Then she smiles at Franky. "Truthfully, I only come here when I have love troubles, too. So I thought I would come here and have a drink with a kindred spirit."

She extends her cocktail out to him, "Fuck love."

That startles Franky into a laugh. He clinks his water against her glass. "Fuck love."

"Your next drink has to be alcoholic. I wanted to wallow in a drunken stupor, not be consoled by a sober man."

Franky smiles. "Okay."

And they spend the night complaining about their poor luck in love. And they become good friends, until one day Millie realizes that she hasn't thought about dating another man since Franky came into her life.

And she knows these feelings... Wonders why it took her so long to notice it... Somewhere along the way, she fell in love with a pathetic little man whose luck in love was on par with hers.

oooh can you do Shopkeeper/Henry Henderson??

!!!! I had a lot of fun with this one

Send me a ship, and i'll give you a fanfic idea

The shopkeeper and Henderson knew each other when each of them were young students at Eden. Henderson's obsession with elegance was actually triggered by the shopkeeper. Way back when, shopkeeper's family was all about beauty. Specifically, beauty in nature.

And shopkeeper always ranted on and on to Henderson about plant care and flowers and how so much of a plant's life could be understood by their presentation. And only the most cared for and loved flowers could be considered truly beautiful or elegant.

And Henderson, took those words to heart, but instead of judging the care of plants, he began to judge the lives of people based on their personal presentation. Leading himself to become something of a perfectionist, since he wanted nothing else than to have the shopkeeper think only good things about him.

Then the war officially began and Eden Academy temporarily closed on such short notice that Henry Henderson didn't get to see him and wish him safety when they last saw each other.

Henderson never saw the shopkeeper again and had assumed he died in the war somehow. To commemorate his lost friend, he kept a single bush of roses—that the shopkeeper gave him once for his birthday—in pristine condition, well-maintained and loved and perfect.

One day, Henderson happens to run into the shopkeeper again, though doesn't realize it because the shopkeeper has changed a lot in the war (appearance wise) (but the shopkeeper realizes who Henderson is).

The Shopkeeper doesn't want to be the one to remind Henderson of who he was and how they knew each other, because he didn't want Henderson to judge his life based on his appearance. But he also didn't want to part ways again with Henry, so he keeps looking for excuses to see Henderson again and again and again and again...

Hmmmmm

Damian and anya

Send me a ship and I'll give you fanfic ideas

(I'm taking the "and" to mean platonic, since & is usually used for platonic ships 👌🏽)

In their second year of Eden Academy, Anya is transferred into a different class than Becky and Damian because of her lower academic scores.

In order to continue Operation Strix, Anya needs to keep in contact with Damian. Since she won't be seeing him in class anymore, Loid decides to have Anya live in the dorms. There she would have a much higher chance of interacting with him now that they're not going to be in the same class anymore.

Hearing of this, Becky asks her parents to let her live in the dorms, too. And the both of them begin studying together whenever possible so that Anya can raise her grades up and be transferred into Becky's (and Damian's) class the following school year.

At the dorms, Anya and Damian bump into each other a lot more than he expected to and it becomes something like a game to Anya. To either find him first or keep out of his sight until he doesn't expect to see her.

After the school's first exam, Anya does better than she expected and celebrates with Becky. During their little dinner celebration in the food hall, Damian walks by and Anya excitedly tells him about her academic improvements.

He awkwardly congratulates her and walks away toward where Ewen and Emile are waiting for him. He thinks to himself that, maybe, if he studied with Becky and Anya, then Anya's grades could improve even more.

He thinks of it as a sort of competition between himself and Becky (who both fight for the highest grades in their class). He thinks that he would be able to gloat over Becky if Anya's grades would improve way more after studying with him, than if she studied with Becky.

With this in mind, he arrogantly offers to study with them (Ewen and Emile joining the study group, too) and their school life continues in this way.

Damian's explanations and thought processes for studying are very easy to understand for Anya, so her grades definitely improve more when she studies with him and she always thanks him a lot when they finish studying.

Their study sessions become something that Damian begins to look forward to every day, since helping Anya tends to solidify the concepts their learning in his head.

Eventually, Anya gets the idea to invite Damian to her house for a family weekend, after hearing that his parents weren't going to be picking him up. She thinks that if she makes it seem normal to invite him to her house, then he would eventually think it's normal to invite her to his house.

And at the Forger household, Damian feels... warm.

[acidspies]

Um... Martha x Henderson?

Send me a ship, and I'll give you fanfic ideas

Before Henry became an educator, he was a butler for the Blackbells. This happened well before Becky was born, and it was how he and Martha met.

Henry's and Martha's families each trained since they were young to be servants to the Blackbells. Strength, intellect, elegance, poise... anything that could be beneficial to the Blackbells was on the learning curriculum for them.

So when they were officially given employment as butlers to the Blackbells, they became something like rivals. The Marriotts and the Hendersons having a long-standing feud of which family better prepares their children for servitude under the Blackbells.

Throughout their time with the Blackbells, they had a lot of good times, a lot of hard times, a lot of laughs and a lot of frustrations...

But one day, Henderson feels like he can't keep working for the Blackbells. He wants to do more. So he leaves, giving Martha a last minute goodbye in the servants quarters. He doesn't tell her what he's going to do, because he doesn't know yet.

She doesn't doubt that he would keep in touch with her, so she doesn't pry.

And then years go by. And years go by. And years go by. And Martha has all but forgotten what Henry looked like.

That is... until they meet again.

Becky x bill watkins ?

Send me ships, and I'll give you fanfic ideas

Ever since the dodgeball game, Becky has been super conscious of Bill Watkins. Her family specializes in creating military equipment, while his family is from a long line of military generals.

Their families ran in the same circles. The social gatherings the Blackbells attended were also attended by the Watkins family, though Becky payed any mind to other attendants at these gatherings, since she never had reason to interact with anyone her age.

After the dodgeball game, Becky attends one of these large gatherings full of people related to the military and she immediately notices Bill Watkins standing next to his dad. When the Watkins approach the Blackbells to greet them, Bill introduces himself to Becky overly formal. And Becky responds as she was taught to do. Haughtily.

When Becky is excused from staying near her parents, she runs into Bill again...
