metziggs (louie/ziggy)

opposites attract all the way

give louie internalized homophobia Now

a good rivals to lovers dynamic (which can be especially fun when you consider that it could be a one sided rivalry based on some of ziggy's dialogue)

plus some secret relationship shenanigans (with optional angst if they ever get found out or optional humor if things go surprisingly well when they get found out)

metziggs (lars/ziggy)

they also have an opposites attract vibe as louie/ziggy but they also have a lot more in common i feel

very snufmin (snufkin/moomin) imo, ziggy is very snufkin and lars is very moomin

lars is just a very underrated of the three tbh, i am giving a lot of love to louie and the fandom like, kinda cares abt carl, but nobody talks about lars :(

i think they def would have more in common than louie tbh

metziggs (carl/ziggy)

tbh nothing much can be really said about this that i haven't said about louie/ziggy or lars/ziggy tbh?

they do have a lot of the same opposites attract vibes that ziggy has with either of carl's brothers

maybe a little more opposite than louie? definitely more opposite than lars

ironwood (lars/kale)

snufmin (snufkin/moomin) if they were evil

i know this one seems really out there but have you considered kale trying to coax lars into listening to the killer track but slowly falling in love and feeling conflicted

rebelhatchet/loulex (louie/lex)

the great-great-great granddaught of willabella dating the (great grand)son of a hatchet man, can i imagine?

prime candidates for a romeo/juliette au imo

speaking of: could be incredible star crossed lovers

maybe even childhood friends that lost touch?

maybe childhood friends that never lost touch???

weedwood (louie/ziggy/lex)

has both an opposites attract appeal but all three of them have a lot more in common than they realize at first

can either by very fluffy or very toxic

basically everything from metziggs (louie/ziggy) and rebelhatchet/loulex (louie/lex) combined but with the fun dynamics in startist (lex/ziggy), literally best of all three tbh

bob metzger/roman murray

radioactively toxic old man yaoi

hatchet man/member of the church of the starry children is a very underrated dynamic imo

i mean we already know roman goes to the woods for is weird ritual stuff

(could be combined with bob metzger/emma's great grandpa for toxic rebound situationship yaoi imo)

bob metzger/emma's great grandpa

toxic old man yaoi

(mutual?) pining and/or a secret forbidden love

angst, like, so much angst

rum running era can lead to a lot of fun interactions

"when your great granddaddy bought this land, he made a solemn vow to tend to it. protect it" ,':I

both of these men are (great grand)fathers. emma isn't a metzger. carl, lars, and louie aren't perkins. both of these men got married. there's a chance for lost love angst, unrequited love angst, internalized homophobia angst, and probs even more forms of angst that i can't think of right now
