the most INSANE thing relating to my hyperfixation happened just now and im going to explain this very carefully

so. i made an instagram art account for the two princes. not expecting anything to come of it, yk? a couple likes here and there. just to have my art on there.

I GO ON TODAY

AND I HAVE TWO NOTIFICATIONS.

so i click, excitedly! a couple of likes on my jecily drawing! great!

well.

they’re both from the same person.

and that person.

IS KEVIN CHRISTOPHER SNIPES.

THE CREATOR OF THE TWO PRINCES.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, TUMBLR. THE PERSON WHO CREATED MY FAVORITE PIECE OF MEDIA LIKE EVER IS AWARE I EXIST. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.

I like my gay princes burger with a side of yuri nuggets and really-good-songs fries and old man yaoi nuggets and a side-boykissers milkshake

Posting the first (and only) two panels of a webcomic I wanted to make of The Two Princes. This is from Season 2. I’m abandoning this project - turns out drawing is hard and not my passion, but I like how these turned out. It’s been forever since I even looked at these and I just wanted to put them SOMEWHERE before clearing space in my computer.

[This is a repost from here because I accidentally buried it underneath the fairly lengthy original post. It’s was in response to a post about sapphic characters/couples in podcasts. What I wrote was meaningful to me and it might be to someone else. Happy Pride, everyone!]

In honour of my pre-teen self, who grew up under Section 28, I would like to mention Joan and Cecily from The Two Princes. It was the first audio fiction podcast I listened to. Although Joan and Cecily’s story isn’t technically at the centre of the podcast, I’d argue that the princes wouldn’t have a hope in hell without them. I am, after all, a life-long fan of non-main-characters.*

One evening, when I was in late primary school, my mum and I went to the library. The same one where I’d later have my first job. We'd gone because my mum needed to look something up (these were the pre-internet days, folks). She was busy with the librarian, while I sat at one of the big desks in the reference room. And that was when I found it. 

Strange to see a novel in that part of the library. Balanced on top of some maps or encyclopaedias. Almost as if someone had left it there on purpose. 

Tamora Pierce’s Alanna: The First Adventure. A girl who poses as a boy to train to be a knight. My entire heart!

The only other Alanna I’d ever heard of was a girl who attended ballet classes at the same dance studio as me. She was a year or two older and she could do the splits. Funny the things you remember. 

During Section 28, queer books were scarce -- especially in public libraries. I found one anyway. 

Seeing queer YA books openly being published today is wonderful, and it makes me feel a bit wistful too. What might it have been like if I’d realised I was bisexual at 9, rather than 29? What if chronic illness hadn’t got in the way? 

Let’s just say that when I listened to The Two Princes for the first time in my early thirties, Joan and Cecily were making up for a lot of lost time. Also they are two of my favourite character types: girl/woman knight + exuberant bisexual.

All this to say: podcast makers, please keep creating the romances you need to hear. Because I need to hear them too! <3

* This applies to all forms of media. You’ve got to find your people where you can find them, if you know what I mean. There are of course exceptions to this, like Kate and Ella from Me & AU. I *do* recognise when the protagonists are brilliant and give me all the feels. But WHITNEY?! That penultimate episode destroys me every single time.

[anotherttpfanaccount]

an MLB AU i put way too much time and thought into

.

here are some changes i've already made:

there are only 8 miraculous

the roles will be altered from the canon

the relationships will be altered from the canon

all ages are the same ( 18 and up ), so the setting is college

for right now, i have no images, but expect the costumes to look different, as i hate most of them

disclaimer - i don't watch or support the show, i am merely a viewer from afar ( aka via fandom ) and i like the base concepts, so i decided to give in and indulge myself.

.

Characters . . .

Marinette - Amir ( Sir Ruby ) Adrien - Rupert ( Vesper ) Chloe - Cecily ( Lady Wasp ) Alya - Joan ( Vixenary ) Nino - Percy ( Terraperc, but Rupert said that was a terrible idea, so now it's just Terrapin ) Luka - Darling ( King Serpentine ) Natalie - Chamberlain ( Mr. Plume ) Gabriel - Lavinia ( Queen Admiral )

rest are various other side characters that will serve the main plot and subplots, rather than me making up a bunch of bullshit on the fly.

-

Key Relationships . . .

Amir .

Rupert - strangers to friends to lovers Cecily - one-sided awkwardness to friends to 'lovers' Joan - childhood best friends Percy - cordial acquaintances to... sorta friends? Darling - absolutely hate each other Chamberlain - polite strangers to... Lavinia - polite, but on edge strangers

-

Rupert .

Amir - strangers to friends to lovers Cecily - friends to best friends Joan - respectful acquaintances to friends Percy - no one knows why they're friends Darling - awkward exes ( like, bad awkward ) Chamberlain - father // son-like dynamic Lavinia - cordial at best

-

Cecily .

Amir - 'we're so friends!' to actual friends to 'lovers' Rupert - early teenhood friends to best friends Joan - unknown to friends to lovers, somehow ( it was Cecily ) Percy - chaotic friends Darling - 'you're on thin ice, mister' Chamberlain - they think the other is funny Lavinia - only met her a few times, very tense

-

Joan .

Amir - childhood best friends Rupert - respectful acquaintaces to friends Cecily - unknown to friends to lovers, somehow ( Joan has no idea ) Percy - that one meme of A having B on a leash Darling - they haven't met ( yet ) Chamberlain - respectful and agreeable ( they talk about work ) Lavinia - Joan kinda sorta idolizes her just a little bit ( she has no idea what Lavinia is doing )

-

Percy .

Amir - "rivals" to tense acquaintances Rupert - not even he knows how they're friends, he just rolls with it Cecily - chaotic friends Joan - 'tense' friends Darling - thinks he's pretty, but doesn't know him that well Chamberlain - friendly-ish acquaintances Lavinia - has only seen her once, and it was on a bad day

-

Darling .

Amir - they hate each other Rupert - awkward exes ( Darling keeps trying ) Cecily - keeps getting vaguely threatened by her Joan - they haven't met, but only doesn't like her because of her relation to Amir ( yes, he's that petty ) Percy - thinks he's cute, but doesn't him that well either ( way too focused on Rupert ) Chamberlain - used to be friendly, but now also gets vaguely threatened by him Lavinia - hardly cared for his existence, even after the breakup

-

Chamberlain .

Amir - polite strangers to... Rupert - father // son-like dynamic Cecily - thinks she's hilarious Joan - respectful and agreeable, almost colleagues Percy - is only nice to him because of Rupert Darling - displeased at best Lavinia - haven't gotten along on personal levels in years

-

Lavinia .

Amir - judgmental, but won't say it ( Rupert knows ) Rupert - loves him very much, wishes he'd understand Cecily - doesn't see her enough to care a whole lot Joan - likes that she feeds her ego Percy - got on her nerves once, hasn't seen him since Darling - does not give a fuck Chamberlain - frustratingly opinionated ( the irony )

.

Extras . . .

Amir and Darling already did not like each other, due to wicked bad vibes, but after Amir is noticeably developing feelings for Rupert, Darling becomes a bitch.

as a society, we simply don't know if Percy and Darling will get together. not even i know. only time will tell.

there are Miraculous swaps, but only if necessary and // or akumatized with that miraculous ( for ex, there's a thing where Darling gets akumatized with the fox miraculous ).

Joan isn't necessarily like Alya in terms of personality, but she is very interested in documentation of abnormal // supernatural events, reporting, etc., and does become a fan of Sir Ruby and Vesper.

the Kwamis are the animals within the podcast or based off other characters ( Rupert's kwami is a cat-version of Fitzroy, Amir's is a ladybug-version of Porridge, etc. ), and it's unknown if the Kwamis can actually choose their holders or not.

there are not many side villains. to be honest.

Rupert isn't very flirty as Vesper at all, that's more in line with Darling // King Serpentine. similar thing with Amir, he's not nearly as awkward ( or creepy ) as Marinette.

.

this AU is very focused on the relationships of the characters rather than the superhero-y stuff, but i do dabble in that every now and then in my train of thoughts.

feel free to ask me any questions.

[dorky-eyebags]

Joan: Thank you for helping me, In exchange for your help you can hug me now for four to five seconds.

Cecily: forty five seconds??

Joan: NO, I SAID FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS

Cecily: TOO LATE NOW *aggressively hugging*

[cavprime]

narrator: you probably don’t need to me tell you what happened last episode because you’re probably binging this entire season in one go

me, definitely binging all of s3 in one go:
