WE THE NORTH WEEK 2021 - DAY 007
this probably isn’t a surprise to anyone and it was the first prompt that i knew what i was doing. however. i have tried to write this blurb 184629 times so here we go again.
first, i love this ship and here is how it could have fit in all previous six categories:
i don’t think anyone can understand just how happy o am to reply to a visar tag or how happy getting sent some inspo or just talking about these boys make me. even when i’m upset with them i love to get the tag
lol do i even have to say anything here? but oh my god do these two cause me pain. they most recently cause me pain i knew was coming when they fought and tez said the L word. and then the other night in my dm’s.
they bring me such excitement. it happens when i see vince’s gif in my alerts or when elle makes me graphics (watch out i can manip now). i get excited when other people compliment them or yell at us about them.
i’m so sad for them, right now because of what vince is going through. but because they’ve never on the same page. mostly though vince makes me sad because of the way he feels because of how he’s been treated by tez. it breaks my heart especially when he didn’t believe that’s how tez felt. leave me here to die.
i think their story is a relevant one. they’ve got their own problems, they are fundamentally different from one another (that is not a problem despite times vince thought/thinks it is). they come from two different backgrounds. they’re dealing with relevant topics and they navigate them some times together but also apart on the way they’re affected personally.
i’m tying this into the reason that they’re relevant. because of what elle and i have them tackle. the fact that this isn’t an easy story to tell even though the environment they’re in is a more tolerable now as a whole. they don’t take a typical route you see with this dynamic. but they’re innovative too because they are that mlm couple that stuck first and i’m glad to have helped elle get that because i saw her trying.
now, it’s time for me to gush about my ship, about my boys and my main man. comfort was the only actual option for this ship, for these characters. life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows and everyone has something that brings them comfort during those times. where they search for the thing that will make them feel better and more themselves again. VISAR is my comfort. it does not matter where i am or what i’m feeling i am ALWAYS in the mood for visar. i’m always ready to talk about them, to write about them. my mood is instantly lifted by this ship but even if it’s not nothing gets in the way of me writing replies to vince from tez. i’m pretty sure i’m thinking about them all the time (it might not help that my favourite music genre is sad songs and sad songs embody visar). this ship means so much to me, i adore it and i could talk about it for hours. i love tez, he is my comfort character, i’m very protective of him and the story i’m telling with him.
but if we’re being honest, this ship wouldn’t be what it is without elle and vince. it was elle’s request and when i say it got me because of the word “criminal” that’s not exactly accurate. i mean it did. but the other part of that was vince. i. love. vince. i’m so glad this because an otp rather than a stepping stone. i knew him before he was vince but i think he’s perfect as the man he is now. he is not perfect and elle has worked hard on his character and making sure that he doesn’t fall into certain stereotypes and it’s no surprise she does that so well. but he’s so just so perfect. like that whole thing where people are like “not all men” and i’m like “you’re right, vincent armstrong would never”. i would die for this man, i will forever yell at elle because he is NOT easy and he is NOT naive or gullible. vince is one of my all time favourite characters. i love reading him, and i think he doesn’t get enough appreciation in the way that he deserves. elle said earlier in the week he’s thought of in conjecture with others but know thats never the case with me, he's got a whole part of my head that he occupies by himself. vincent armstrong is a gift. i love the way vince sees the world and i hate that it’s been jaded because of tez. but i love how it’s given him this perspective to realize it’s okay to be selfish.
i can’t wait to explore how tez is going to prove that he’s actually in love with vince so that it’s not just seen as a ploy. this ship just gives me so many feelings in all their different dynamics and i could go on and on and on. and i’m so happy that my writing partner gets excited about them, i think that’s what makes them a joy to write even when they’re hurting us and we send one another crying gifs.
i love them together. i love them separately from one another. so here’s a list of my favourite things you might not of picked up on but should be aware of. (this is not a complete list obviously)
their aesthetic (big men soft for one another)
they’re almost always hot for one another
vince’s desire to protect tez
their passion, their emotion
talking with elle past bedtime about them
writing them with @ellectricmuse
thanks for giving me this comfort (when i separated the word up there i realized fort is part of comfort and tbh i get it, bc this ship wraps me up and gives a layer of protection when i need it just like forts are suppose to). if you thought this wasn't going to be a long one you've never seen me give elle a 2k tez reply in a visar thread ✌️
