For @blupjeansweek with the prompt of "meal", I took the cloning pod / "man I forgot how good I look ... I'm going to smooch fucking your brains out, babe" scene from the podcast, and made it LONGER!!!

FUUUCK this was a fun undertaking.

my irrationally large but fully canonically justified pet peeve about a really minor thing in taz balance fandom is people saying that barry and lup had crushes on each other for 47 years before they admitted it. because that would imply that they fell for each other at first sight, like within the first cycle — but at least to me, the whole appeal of canon blupjeans is that they didn't! when barry, quote, "felt it first," it was "during a particularly challenging year," implying they were past the first cycle by then (because otherwise griffin would just say cycle 1), and most likely, they'd even gotten far enough into the century for the "average" difficultly of a cycle to become at least vaguely established. then lup "wasn't far behind" all the way on cycle 17, the robot world, where she had her realization, and like... her feelings didn't just spring into existence fully formed out of nothing when she saw barry getting zapped by one cute robot one day; there was definitely a gradual buildup, but like. there's nothing in the framing whatsoever that suggests they were "in love at first sight" and "in denial starting from the first cycle," as opposed to just. falling in love slowly. it was a love they cultivated "quietly and cautiously" — because they had all the time in the world, as the people they trusted most were happy to remind them. and i like that because i like slowburns. not policing how people wanna characterize them or AUs or what have you, but the slowburn is canonical and heart-meltingly gooey. they're not love at first sight, because they're something much more uniquely barry and lup about it all, and that's beautiful

I cant believe I’ve been running this event for 5 years! I figured a new profile picture was in order 😁

Prompts for 2026 are coming soon! 👀

Blupjeans Week - Day 1: Experiment

[stars-n-kites]

was thinking abt how genuinely sweet it is that lups Moment where she realized she was in love w barry was the same cycle where he stayed behind on the starblaster bc he didnt know how to swim. he was all worried about learning to be more bold and brave and cool to impress her and i think it did him well but she didnt need him to do any of it to love him.

and then i started thinking abt how barry truly just straight up was not there for the whole conversation about destroying the robot world. like it must have been so wild to hang back for like less than an hour and for everyone to come back and have this whole moment about how they need to promise to never destroy civilizations to stop the hunger and barrys just in the background like ???? was that ???? up for discussion at some point?????
