#more iris

I started shipping him with Iris after Talcott’s descriptions of their relationship/dynamic in WoR. He’s WAAAAY too old for her, and there’s a lot of baggage, but that’s why I like it? I’ve always been into mentor/student flavored relationships as long as the student isn’t ‘owo ur so wise and I can never compete’ then it gets sketch for me.

I see what you mean, you like the mentor/student relationship as long as it doesn’t bleed into overt hero worship. I like it too! That’s why I like to write Cor. I feel like the best relationships is when the ‘mentor’ can scold or criticize, but in a way that makes the student feel determined, they want to do better, they want to improve, in a way that makes the mentor proud.

And of course, student surpassing the mentor and student saving the mentor is always soo easy to win me over.

Anyway I think the age difference makes people uncomfortable but I don’t think there’s no healthy way to ship something, you can learn how to find a way and go the extra mile. A 30 year age difference is surprising, but I’ve seen older age gaps in real life, so who am I to judge fiction?

At the same time, you can ship unhealthy things too, either in a healthy way, or in a totally unhealthy way. This website doesn’t lend shippers to do that, because they can’t seem to separate fiction and reality, and it’s honestly scary.(The people who are like, if you ship this and this and you like this and this dynamic you are toxic by default, just like the real life bad thing!!!! Those people need to get out more.) It’s weird that we had an understanding that people could write darkfics, but now it’s just Banned on this site.

I’m bigger than my body

I’m colder than this home

I’m meaner than my demons
