Nice hot cup of coffee

Okay you don’t have to ship Skipthur but you absolutely have to admit it’s quite possibly the cutest ship ever.

It's so cute because imagine how hard they would try to please each other, like Arthur would always try and make Skip the best possible cup of tea ever (most probably causing chaos in the process) and Martin would be worrying about how rubbish his simple but blessedly free date in the park would be while Arthur squeals happily about getting ice creams and seeing dogs running around!

It has gotten to the point that I literally cannot seriously ship Martin Crieff with anyone but Arthur Shappey. Here I am, don’t tread on me.

WELCOME TO THE SHIP! It's jolly and has lots of happy otters on board!

//Yeah, but imagine Arthur and Martin aren’t only neuroatypical, but on top of that, they both have sympathetic overactivity, meaning that their sympathetic nervous systems work differently from an ordinary, “healthy” one, and that’s why Arthur has mild hyperhidrosis in stressful situations and the hot summer months, which means that his body starts producing slightly more sweat than necessary, whereas Martin suffers from erythrophobia, which is the fear of blushing and the tendency to blush often and easily. (That’s why he always has a red face!) And Arthur thinks it’s the cutest thing when Skip blushes, and Martin has a really soft spot for sweaty Arthurs, so everything’s perfectly fine and they’re both happy because they like each other just the way they are and they’re perfectly aware of it uwu don’t tell me that isn’t adorable! 

//Imagine Arthur and Martin just randomly starting to cuddle around trips. Like, it would all begin with Arthur falling asleep on Martin in a cab, and it would end with them cuddling in their hotel room or in the car or even in the plane, just because they can and it feels nice and, ugh, this is just some platonic cuddling, no one’s going to judge them, everyone does it.

//AU where Arthur is the captain and Martin is the steward, but Arthur lets Martin wear his hat and his epaulettes and trades his jacket for Martin’s vest, and Carolyn has to keep him from giving his entire uniform to the new steward who so desperately wants to be a pilot <3

The bonding in that ep made me so happy!

I think the real question is would he ever take it off.

Oh my GOD, this is obsolete perfection! Thank you so much for this majesty!
