*Long sighhhhhhh* Working through the roots of problematic shipping patterns with your best friend feels like detangling a very frustrating knotted necklace. Yayayayayayayay.

ok more headcanons about blaire and prosper, bc my sister just sent me these:

blaire pats people a lot. she just fondly pats people on the arm or whatever... whenever she meets up with someone, like "oh hello i've missed you" *pat pat*

prosper really likes having his hair played with and he'll kind of headbutt blaire gently when they're cuddling until she gets the gist

prosper buys the groceries most of the time, but blaire writes the list. they both forget things and end up blaming each other. like "You ate all the apples?" "What apples?" "The apples from the store." and so on. 

blaire is kinda anal about saving energy. she'll catch prosper leaving those heavy duty cords plugged in and be like, "dUDE YOU GOTTA UNPLUG THE THREE-PRONGED PLUGS WHEN UR NOT USING THEM." of course, he'll just be like "chill i went to the bathroom, i was coming right back."

more on blaire as a morning person: she really likes morning smooches and early fooling around in bed, but prosper's always asleep or too sleepy, which is very frustrating for her. 

blaire has a sweater that prosper has deemed "The Comfy Sweater" and whenever she wears it, he really surreptitiously obviously sidles over to her and hugs/squishes her.

Can we know headcanons about Blaire and Prosper? Pleeeeease?

sure sure sure actually i feel bad for hoarding all this stuff

it took blaire months to get used to prosper’s dry sense of humor. it was a very confusing time for the poor girl. when she would misunderstand one of his jokes as him being serious, he would just bust up laughing at her expense.

the first time they kissed, blaire had a terrible cold. 

blaire is 100% a morning person, and prosper doesn’t really mind getting up as long as he has tea.

blaire has played the piano since she was very young, and prosper doesn’t learn this until a year or so into their relationship, when he visits her home. 

blaire asked prosper out first.

prosper always has music playing, for everything he does. but blaire likes the occasional silences. 

blaire’s favorite sound is crunchy leaves. 

prosper’s favorite sound is blaire’s sneeze, because after every sneeze she lets out a little sigh-type breath. 

whenever they go out to bars, blaire always gets carded, complete with the bouncer giving her a skeptical look. the whole process leaves her huffy and prosper giddy. 

sometimes they play a game when they go to parties where they don’t know a lot of people- they adopt different personas (low-key role play?). on one occasion, prosper had a very successful american accent going under the guise of “Sam”, but he couldn’t keep it together when he met a guy named Randy.

before they were dating, blaire would drop into the music store he worked at (à la Pretty in Pink), buying silly albums and merchandise before gathering the courage to get his number. 

they both love taking naps. 

"prosper sometimes sings whole sentences without realizing it, like asking blaire if they need peanut butter from the store. blaire either finds it endearing or annoying depending on her mood." -claybabay

do your characters blaire and prosper have anything to do with the author of 1984, george orwell, whose real name was eric blair, and whose best friend's name was prosper?

omg i wish i could say that wasn’t a coincidence, and that i did that on purpose… but still! what an interesting connection.
