hello read your most recent post about your fs characters/story?👀

yeah it's something I'm working on and have like five pages of notes so far^^ the story goes that my friend sent me an instagram screencap that was like "waiting for a lesbian figure skating heated rivalry" and I was like "well fuck I guess I have to write it then" and it escalated from there

I had already started to work on a queer ice dance story but balancing four main characters is hard so while I have a whole plan for that as well it's gonna be on the back burner for a bit

those characters will be making cameos tho

and my idea for a starting point is that yuka and gabriella meet for the first time in junior worlds where yuka wins but gabriella wins a shock silver as it's her first outing and she makes a sour face for a split second on the podium, someone snaps a photo, and media induced rivalry starts

it then time skips to them being in their early twenties and the road eventually takes them to world championships but they end up falling in love on the way 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Jerome/Jacques for the ship game?

jsjs my beloved ....

What made you ship it?

admittedly i'm taking some quotes a bit out of their context, but:

jacques talking about vfd in general: we get permission first before taking the kids. we were allowed to finished our tea. etc.

jacques when writing to jerome: and that's the reason people should never get tattoos

also:

jacques: please, jerome, do not marry this woman.

jerome: you know i always listen to your advice, my friend.

but also jacques's letter to jerome in general is so very ….. so he asks him not to marry esme (under no circumstances should you marry that woman) and then proceeds to explain it by barely explaining anything at all, and instead of talking about esme in the rest of the letter he dived into his own background, gives him a clearer story on jacques himself but not at all why jerome shouldn't marry esme. and then he just expects this to work if jerome can receive the letter. every time i think about it i need to lie down on the floor

What are your favorite things about the ship?

"writing letters explaining why a marriage couldn't/shouldn't take place and then the letter never properly arriving" + "mountain trip date" …… if i squint i can see beatrice/lemony parallels and i think that's beautiful.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i personally don't view jerome as completely oblivious to jacques's feelings while jacques was in some one-sided love with him. i think jerome shares those feelings, and is aware of jacques's feelings, but jacques is mysterious and jerome knows that jacques is involved in something bigger than what jerome thinks himself capable of handling, and he's too scared to dive into that. it's easier to pretend not to know their affections for each other is more than friends. but he absolutely knows. but he's not ready. he doesn't think he'll ever be.

Hi! I'm new to the fandom (not new to the books or show though) and I was wondering if you knew where the name lemonberryice comes from? Thanks, and I'm glad to see someone still posting about the ship and the series!

hello! welcome to asoue fandom!

i’ve been a fan of the books for… since they were first published, but i didn’t really get involved in this fandom until after the netflix series finished airing.

it’s not a super active fandom, but we still do events and get awesome fic and meta sometimes. it is the best fandom! or at least the pocket of it that i’ve kept in contact with is. (my other fandom is the witcher which is the worst fandom except for the parts of it that make the rest of it worth it!) so much femslash, exploration of platonic dynamics, and thoughtful meta even when i disagree with it!

to attempt to answer your question: lemonberryice comes from if you take lemony-bertrand-beatrice, smoosh them together and squint really hard?

fic rec since this is what i think of whenever the ship name is used, because it like… embodies those words as part of their dynamic.

tagging @whoslaurapalmer @lesbianscieszka @beatricebidelaire: since i think all of you have been in this fandom much longer than i have, is there an actual answer for the origin of this ship name?

23 and 30 :)

23. Who is your favourite ‘fifth Beatle’ and why?

I think I have to go with George Martin, because I'm a musician so I admire his work so much. Although shoutout to Brian because I have a big soft spot for him, personally <3

30. Which Beatle would you rather have been friends with in the 70s?

A part of me wants to yell JOHN!!! not because it's true but because I wanna make his life better jsfhsgjkhsd. Anyways, I guess the answer is Paul because he just had his life the most together at that point and thus seems like the best company in that period.

Phil tried to talk to John about why the Wobblies were called the Wobblies, but John just wanted to play music (this was in their second meeting I believe. They had a shorter one in the mid-60s). Dylan was definitely an influence in their meeting, but I think the immediate stronger factor was Jerry Rubin, as well as John's own fascination with radicalism (and gaining fame through that avenue, which has to be attributed at least in part to Yoko).

Seems right for John and Phil. Didn't know they were nicknamed Wobblies! I'd also be curious about that

Op here, it's about The Batman, specifically the Riddler. I'm not really a DC fan, I just watched it cause of Paul Dano lol

ah, good to know! yeah I'm not shocked, lol.

[derridoid]

Ohhh I just got it! Derrida! That's a badass url, v cool

thank you!! yeah i heard at one point that a "derridoid" is an older term for someone who follows derrida's philosophy, and i was like, "hmm! that's me!"

if anyone ever wants to talk about derrida hmu, i did a lot of research that focused on him in my masters degree
