awkward nerd

Tumblr users really see a cat biting another cat’s butt on an enamel pin and immediately think “yeah I need that on my bag.” Honestly… same. (GET YOURS HERE)

and i actually think these two could make a good pairing almost exclusively in a post-canon context where they both got their "good" endings. unless you got the ending where shadowheart's parents live (i never have), they're some of the only two companions who are still actively adventuring--and enjoy it!--and after they've worked through the worst of their personal issues, i think they're a pairing that could enjoy sniping at each other and still have a deeper vulnerability with each other because of the similarities in what happened to them. i'd love to write something about them adventuring together after everything and getting closer to each other over time while they both figure out what it means to be individuals who are allowed to go where they want and do what they want. their good endings are where they both get their freedom and get to choose their destinies for the first time ever. i think that makes really fertile ground for an interesting relationship to develop

step 1: self recognition through each other.
