THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2018 [day five] ↳ best tv ship→ brent/jo +  ben/theo

OK - so Haley was over here shipping Ben and Theo when they were first thought of and made. JUST SAYIN’ so it’s no surprise I chose thee two for brotp. I love them. Their dynamic. Theo’s struggle after the getting hit by lightning (can we talk about what a beast he is??). I think Kae has done a wonderful job and I just love seeing what these two boys are up to. It does not hurt that they are not terrible to look at because hello, what does TV love more??  Honestly, Ashley and Kae put a lot of work into their ships/brotps and they have definitely put a lot of work here. They are always threading/texting idc what with them and I love it! BROTPs are easily overlooked and I just love these guys. 

Secondly, I picked Jo and Brent because I feel like this is a ship people would grow up with. It’s like watching a show from the very beginning and falling hard and fast for a ship, and sometimes with those ships they do not make it until the end. I’ve enjoyed the dynamic and the threads between Jo and Brent. I’ve enjoyed reading Jo as she ventures into journalism and taking on some tough stories and getting caught in some tough spots. Watching Brent handle the loss of his father. It has been a rocky year for these two and I’m really hoping this new year brings them some better things because they need it!! Also, what is cuter than an adorable kid? 

TBE Week 2018: Day 5 ↛ Ship (someone else’s) that would make good tv Ebony Raja-Salem & Gabriel Danvers

Today’s prompt was a cruel one. There were too many good ones to choose from, especially given that I am a girl who adores her angst. There were couples who literally followed the other to another country to be by their side. There were couples that stared sickness in the face and stayed strong. There were couples who bickered. There were couples who were clearly soulmates. There were sunken ships and sailing ships and ships that you aren’t quite sure if they’re still sailing or what.

And then there’s these two.

Gabe and Ebony fill all of the above checkmarks. In a TV show, they would be perfect - especially picking up where the revamped versions of them came in - years after his seizures as he tries to rebuild and she’s already rebuilt. Ebony is a strong woman who has her lovers but still has her love for Gabe, something evident in their threads. Gabe knows that he loved her but doesn’t remember it the way he should, because he lost that time. There would be flashbacks and the heated moments and oh the ship wars.

THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2018 [day three] ↳ character you relate to → hakim kouri

Alright look. Haley is a straight up white girl (sometimes painfully so like whenever she mentions Taylor Swift), but she has never backed down from a challenge. Anyone who has listened to me for more than five seconds knows that I’m a South Asian Canadian with a massive chip on her shoulder and relentless anger about my lack of representation. And yeah, I know you’re tired of it. But Haley isn't. And she doesn’t use the lousy excuse that she’s afraid of doing a person of colour justice - she just puts her best foot forward.

That’s why I relate to Hakim. He’s a South Asian man born in western civilization that suffers from diaspora. He suffers from internalized racism by those around him, has to deal with situations that none of his friends have to deal with while remaining quiet so as not to burden them. He understands struggling and suffering in a way that most cannot. He has a sister that he’s massively protective of and would do anything for. He loves music since the time he was in high school band. There are several parts of Hakim that I don’t relate to, but when you pull back the curtain who he is at his core is someone that struggles with duty versus authenticity, creating different versions of himself for who he’s around and I can relate to his struggle.

THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2018 - DAY 05 ↳ prudy, susie, kristen

again i wasn't sure how i was going to go about doing this because there are a lot of ships on the site that would make for good tv.  i'm a huge sucker for brotps sometimes more then otps because they're so damn solid and i usually don't have to worry about going through something like a break up. that being said anyone who knows me (or looks at my character database) can tell i lean towards male characters.  so i thought about the male brotps on the site and how they would fill out a good sitcom or realty tv show where you faced them off against one another (which would be hilarious considering the different dynamics).

TBE Week 2018: Day 4 ↛ Ship (your’s) that’s under appreciated Campbell Caldwell & Miguel Valdez

I am an absolute sucker for male/female platonic friendships. There is something about them that just gets me. I don’t know what it is. Maybe its that so many of them are played as a future romance or with romantic undertones. And then, there’s these two. They refer to each other as their work husband/work wife. They have weekly lunch dates. He shows up at her house with a broken heart and they snuggle on the couch while she strokes his hair and tells him that he’s a dumbass. They are precious and pure and I just adore them.

They met when Miguel started working at Mike’s. Campbell took him under her wings in a way and they began to bond pretty instantly. She is on his team, almost 100%. That means she calls it as she sees it. She loves his family like her own.
