Woof, I need to get off my ass and update this blog already. Work and life be busy like that, though. Still, I hate the fact that I've let this place collect so much dust.

At the very least I need to get a pinned post done. And post some of my AU brainstorms, lmao.

Sometimes I forget people aren't multishippers then I see someone talking about how they used to ship something then got a new ship and I'm like what do you mean you aren't just collecting ships like cool rocks you see on the ground

I haven’t seen them interact at all and their dynamic already has a death grip on my psyche.

shipping rayne but as an aro-spec ace wayne truther <3

before the show, wayne didn't think much about about dating bc other stuff always took his attention and time -namely hockey, raj, their families and friends. sure, he always thought girls and guys were cool and good-looking, but before hs he didn't even realize the way he was always tactile and kind with ppl could be read as flirting, when it really wasn't.

he ended up restraining that part of himself a little to not hurt anybody's feelings -he just didn't know most of the people who asked him out well enough and didn't want to lead them on by withdrawing once the 'love vibe' wasn't adding up, which was what happened more often than not. his longest "relationship" (out of two, ninth grade) lasted less than a month. at least he could strike that out and more comfortably say outloud he'd rather be friends with everyone, instead of feeling weird for not being as eager as other teen boys to date or make out with anyone.

dating wasn't exactly a topic wayne and raj discussed often, but when they did, it was only with one another. i hc raj long questioned his identity, but not too deeply -kind of in a "i'll know it for sure when i get there" way, but he never made any move with anyone -of any gender- bc of that uncertainty. on top of that, the first other uncertainty he secretly had and thought buried deep after the beginning of hs often reared its head whenever he saw wayne in 'scary captain' mode, or as a sleepy but happy lump slidding against him on the couch, or whenever wayne help him clean cuts and bruises, or when they'd hug each other with an iron grip after a win, or when raj would tell him he wouldn't really be out of town the day of this or other dance was to be held and wayne would excitedly drive them to their favorite burger joint in the city. but then wayne also rejected the guys that asked him out (although with no further explanation) and only accepted going out with two of the girls who did (although nothing came out of that either), so raj had no way and no desire to jeopardize their friendship -that their moms long and collectively made weird anyway, since they treated them as brothers sometimes, so yeah, if raj was going to date a boy one day, it'd not be wayne, not even if he, for some wild reason, wanted to as well.

(while wayne, kind of unconsciously, entertained the idea that raj might be like him: never dating anyone because he only felt at ease with and allow himself to imagine what the future'd be like with the one guy he knows really well by his side, and that maybe (pls) they're each other's person in the long run -it's just too early to have that convo, tho)

so yeahhh once tdi s1 happens, it gets a bit messy for both of them, but only on the inside. wayne is happy for raj and bowie, but he feels kind of dissapointed in himself for not being more happy. it's confusing, since he's not sure why he's sad, or worried. is he being left behind? is he really a late bloomer, like his older teammates used to say? is he gay too? does he even want to date somebody again? date-date rajie??? what are you supposed to do when you date? does he want do that stuff -all of it?? how can you try without using the other person?? raj definitely deserved someone who was sure of who he was and what he wanted, who can face the world with confidence and can offer raj the kind of love he deserves to the fullest.

for raj, on the other hand, it was impossible not to notice his friend was going through something. Wayne had become very secretive and kept on saying he's fine, actually, or getting busy with something. he was nice to bowie and seemed to enjoy himself the few times he had accepted to hang out with both of them -more than when he rarely hung with only raj these days. they had always talked to each other about what brought them down, so why was wayne acting like this now? raj wishes he was truly oblivious to the possible answer -it'd the worst timing ever and he still had zero certainty. so no, he's NOT hurting anybody over weird inferences. he'd wait until wayne's ready, but there was no harm in talking to his counselor, too, before he'd let time pass and regret standing by.

wayne actually beat him to it, and the topic was long overdue, apparently! his therapist helped him untagle and understand his feelings a lot, especially his bond with raj. he's still not sure about how to label himself but he knows there really has only been one special person for him, and that the place he has in raj's life (and raj in his) was (almost) perfect as it was -that's why he was so afraid it would had to change for the worst, instead of the better. now it was up to him to talk with raj, wait for the best and accept his choice.

and that's pretty much how, after a not so long and not so awkward talk, raj and wayne became queerplatonic partners -with wayne being exclusive and raj still dating bowie. it was a formality, to a degree, but it let them get back stronger than ever <3

prior to the release of the first season of the reboot, i kind of bought into that blurry pic of the campfire and was like "huh two jocks who are giving bromance vibes sitting in the central log. i wonder if they are the rumored queer characters -yk, subverting the homoromantically-coded-deeply-bonded-yet-strictly-straight athletes trope, with them realizing the real nature of their feelings during the competition??" but now i'm a little too attached to demiro ace!wayne so yeah let's say these two interpretations exist in separate universes.

[deloveusion]

nothing beats the intimacy of being silly together

[telula-rama]

Alright, that does it.

Seeing a severe lack of SFW content for one of my liked fanon ships is driving me nuts. So yeah, time to step in and help boost that a little bit.

[tindenz-deactivated20240620]

This is how they met, right?
