It's insane how much chemistry Christina and Manny, and seeing them play in a period drama would be a dream come true. But I very much doubt that they want to be in the same room, let alone play a couple on a screen again :))

I love how much potential Annie and Greg had, but I don't think that they could have ever been endgame in the show. I would like to see them play in a Mike Flanagan tv show ( especially since Zach was involved in 2 shows). Maybe they are both ghosts that haunt the same house?

Retta and Reno were just perfect together, and it would be so fun to watch them play in a comedy movie.

HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU <333333333333333

All of them, I mean if I ship them it's for one reason...they're chemistry^^!!! (and yes it's always gonna be romantic for me^^ so all my answer gonna be another romantic pairing)

Axel Auriant and Maxence Danet Fauvel (aka Eliott and Lucas aka Elu), because, they are my french boys and they real life friendship is the best, and their chemistry is insane!!! And I wish I could see them playing a romantic pairing like Malec, with power and tatto and something magical and surnatural

Sarah Michell Gellar and James Marsters as Spuffy....Did I need to tell why...Really???? Just...JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE THEM <3! I could see them playing everything romantic, like absolutely everything because it would be the dream to see them again on the same movie or tv show <3

James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Lenz as Naley, because they were THE SHIP and I just need to see them again playling love interest^^! I know it's can be cringe, but I would love to see them playing something almost cringe like a christmas Tv movie or somthing like that^^

And....tintitntin David Castro and Alberto Rosendo as Saphael, because I wish, this time the writers see their insane chemistry and make something about it...not just ruin it. I could see them playing boyfriends in a criminal show. Like the one is a FBI agent or a criminologist or a profiler and the second one is just a "nerd hacker" who's gonna help his boyfriend to resolve case...without his superior know it.

If I have too choose just once....Spuffy so Sarah and James <3

I'm not sure I correctly answer to the question, and If I'm not i'm sorry^^ (I blame my french brain who not always understand the question...oops^^)

a fic that made you feel seen

hello!! and thank youuu 🥰💗

a fic i wish could be a movie:

Why be a servant to the law, when you can be its master? by @fairhairedkings

oooooh i fucking love this fic!! a multi-chapter (that i actually finished!) FBI AU where Beth is undercover as a bartender at Rio’s bar and it’s soooooo good and there’s violence and tension and smut and i love it and now want to reread

i just think it would make a great movie or miniseries and it’s one of those fics i always wish i could watch play out on a screen

a fic that made me feel seen:

I Put A Spell On You (and now you're mine) by @sdktrs12

ok i struggled to pick one for this category but then this one came to me!! i remember reading each part as they came out back when i was a creepy lil lurker

this one makes me feel Seen because the author wrote an entire fic filled with autumnal halloween crack aka the Good Shit

this fic is a series of ficlets strung together into a lovely little fluffy, spooky, smutty brio story 🎃👻

Oh it is! I love her so much!!

I didn’t watch the entire show, I have been meaning to go back and do it for a while now haha. I think I got to season 7 before I stopped watching. Although, my sister is also a huge fan so a lot of things were spoiled and I know most of the storylines until the finale!

My favourite Bonnie ships is one that wasn’t canon, I absolutely adored the idea of Bonnie and Damon together! They had the potential for a stellar ‘enemies to friends to lovers’ arc and I am gutted that it was never a thing!

That being said, I also loved the potential that Bonnie and Kai had. I felt like they had such intense chemistry and it could have been an interesting route for the show to take.

But alas, my ships never sail 💔

Do I think he’s forgiven her? No, not particularly—not for the shooting or, frankly, for anything else she’s done to him. Nor do I think Beth has forgiven him for kidnapping her or setting her up and betraying her when she trusted him. I think they’ve just pushed forward, so each new hurt cuts the wound a little deeper at the same time that it piles another mine on top of a pile of mines that are precariously stacked to the point that setting off one of them may cause a total chain reaction. 

But I think Rio’s confronted her on the shooting several times and punished her for it several times over—doing everything he can short of physically hurting her or the people she cares about most—so I guess I don’t really think it’s something that’s a barrier for him recognizing and acting on his real feelings for her. In some ways, I think he’s resigned to them. 

It really seems like with the shift in how Rio is approaching handling Beth—and the tests he has given her with guns specifically—that he’s sussed out where her lines are and knows that she doesn’t actually desire to take him out, meaning he may have reckoned with why she actually pulled the trigger in that moment. 

I wanted a confrontation for my own catharsis, not only because I think it’s important for Beth to take accountability to Rio’s face, but because I wanted Beth to get the space to talk about how she felt in that moment too (I know what she did to Rio was worse, but it didn’t come out of nowhere—it was a reaction to a particularly intense moment after discovering a particularly gutwrenching betrayal in the middle of a specifically designed and high stakes punishment—and I find that Beth’s feelings about how Rio’s treated her really, really get lost in this conversation generally). 

I don’t know. I’m not sure Beth uttering the words “I’m sorry” will actually do anything for Rio at this point? What are those words to actions? Rio seems to be trying to make her prove her loyalty through what she does, not what she says. He really does want to build some sort of future with her in all senses of the word. 

I think a lot of people are in your boat and I understand feeling that way. I think it’s the wrong choice to make for the characters and the story not to let them address it, personally, but I’ve never thought Beth and Rio were going to have something stable or honest and I also find it frustrating generally how there seems to be a deep desire to see Beth punished at the same time that many people ignore the ways that she’s actually already been punished? I find that they very much are back into a pattern of back-and-forth in terms of how they are treating each other, meaning when one person strikes, the other strikes back—and when one person softens, the other person softens. 

I think somehow they’ve rebalanced to be fairly close to equal, and I actually think we’re going to see the flip side with Rio (I assume) turning in Annie, which is about the deepest wound that Rio could inflict on Beth without crossing an uncrossable line, as well.

Thank you so much for the ask, @entwinedloop! :D <3

That’s a really difficult question. I feel like I need to explain first to which group I’m belonging while watching this show. Because I think there are 3 groups right now: the ones who are still shipping Brio despite everything going on on the show, the people who are with one foot off the ship already and then those who have no hope left for Brio and are just watching the show to see how things unfold.

For me, despite all my worries for this season and not being happy at all with season 3, I’m still very much a Brio shipper. However when it comes to hopes I’m very cautious. We need to be real here, Beth and Rio aren’t in a good place. We’re technically in the last phase of season 3 still so for Rio the aftermath of Beth shooting him 3 times is still very fresh and let’s be real I don’t think we would be hot for Beth after getting shot, no matter how valid it was or not for her to do so. And with Beth it’s hard to tell because right now she is acting like she never shot him which is baffling. But maybe it’s her way of dealing with it because if she pretends it never happens then maybe she can pretend she never did it.

I guess my hopes are that they talk and I know it’s never going to happen because the writers can be stubborn and avoid what could resolve at least part of the drama going on between the characters, in this case Beth and Rio. But I think they just need to stop being snarky with eachother and face their feelings in regards of what happened that night. It won’t fix anything right away but I think it would be a new beginning for them to (re)build a foundation for their business.

My fear is that the writers will just keep destroying Brio altogether which would be dumb because aside from being a shipper, the fact these two actors have so much chemistry on screen is something a writer should be happy about and not feel the need to bring in more conflict to eliminate that.

Ooooo, that’s such an interesting question! 

I definitely think they’d have kids. I actually do think motherhood is something that’s a key part of Beth as a character. I think it’s something that she wants and loves and I think she does get real satisfaction out of it; I just also think she’s not somebody who’s made complete by motherhood, and that’s a big part of her dissatisfaction with life in canon. 

Basically I think she loves being a mother, but that she also really needs a life beyond motherhood, which is something she didn’t get to have for a really long time. 

Similarly, fatherhood seems to be a really important part of Rio’s identity. He might not always be present in Marcus’ life, but I think the show has made really clear that even when he’s out of the picture, Marcus is close to his thoughts.  3.01 is such a great example of this – Rhea says that Rio can be a bit of a revolving door, but in the same breath, she tells Beth (and us as an audience) that Rio’s always ensured Rhea and Marcus are provided for, and the show reiterates that by showing us Rio making the model plane that he gifts to Marcus upon their reunion. 

So, yeah! I think in an alternate universe, parenthood would be something they’d both want together. I think presumably in an AU, Beth would be working and hopefully in a career that makes her happy, which would take up more of her time, so I think there’s a good chance that she’d want less kids than she ended up having with Dean? And I think if Rio was in a longterm relationship that was working, he’d probably want more than just one kid, so I’m inclined to say two or three?
