My @mcyt-halloween gift for @aggressivenesswhilecrying!! I loved every Martyn ship they gave me, but gem/martyn really caught my eye! (Plus it sent me on a little ship hyperfixation lmao.) And i got as freaky with it as I could >:3

okay so its a bittt tricky to explain it but i can try 😵‍💫😵‍💫

(also i wrote. so. fucking. much. saved it as a draft. and it all disappeared. so. actuallykms. im kinda pissed i have to try to remember my whole ramble but WHATEVER!! i will try!! T_T)

so for lost kitten, “youve got by eyes” “youll never be mine” is like. they are the same. “youve got my eyes” in the sense like. they look into eachothers eyes and kinda see a mirror of themselves. they are truly two sides of the same coin, they both have these fronts they put on. they have to be tough and strong, and they play up these facades to the point it consumes them (cough cough martyn) but. they see through it. they can see what the other is trying to pull, because they do it themselves. also like in once more to see you “we do have reputations, we keep it secret, wont let them have it” ough. that paired with “you’ll never be mine” because. they cant have eachother. they cant be friends, they cant be allies, they cant be, anything. they both are smart enough to know that putting too much of yourself into one thing is a fools game (martyn already made that mistake with ren) but. they are both fools. they kind of get lost in eachother. they meet in secret. they laugh, they bond, but. on the outside they are strangers. i think they both realized they have a soft spot for eachother, and just instinctively know, “we cant let this get exploited”. so they dont let anyone else in on what they have. also i feel like their dynamic to me isnt necessarily a romantic one. i see it as a lot more of qpr kind of unspoken situationship, though i can see a more romanic interpretation.

though for like slight au purposes i feel like if they ever properly teamed up they would be unstoppable. like. immovable object and unstoppable force team up and destroy the world. they would be equal partners in crime and im im. the song sharks specifically is more for this angle. its not one speaking to the other but rather the song speaking about both of them as a unit. (if that makes any sense 😭😭) i just have a reallyyy cool edit in my head to this song with them so i added it. similar thing with breakfast its so gem coded i couldnt not add it 😭😭. gem has already played with fire before so martyn doesnt scare her one bit. and he recognizes this immediately. like. “there’s something different about her” gem shuts down anything martyn tries to pull but does it in a very playful way that intrigues martyn so much. she matches his silly and matches his insane. i feel like a lot of these songs are very sad and emotional but i do think one of the most important elements to their dynamic is their silliness. their back and forth banter, playful jabs and jokes and i dont want that to be forgotten. (plus i think it adds so much more when the angst and seriousness comes in)

okay i could ramble 5ever about them but im having trouble remembering what i originally wrote so >_< and i am dogshit at character analysis so this is probably slightly ooc but idc. also heres my fav clips from gems secret life since i rewatched it (i have more but i didnt know there was a limit and im not editing a whole video together so blehh)
