Aight I'm Gonna Do It... Here Are The Runo/Shun Headcanons

Aight I'm gonna do it... Here are the Runo/Shun headcanons

-I imagine they'd get together pretty slowly. Obviously, there are certain hurdles in the way, so they'd be hesitant to act on their feelings- or at least, Shun would. Runo, however, loves spiting Dan, and hates being tied to him despite him not giving any affection, so she's the one who makes the first move on Shun. It wouldn't be anything too overt or obvious (especially not to Mr. Socially-Inept himself) but she stays persistent about it, so eventually he gets the hint.

-Shun is surprised- not that Dan's maybe-baby is flirting with him, but that she's flirting with him specifically. But he's certainly not against it; he's Dan's best friend, so he knows that Dan barely gives her a second thought unless he's hungry. Why adhere to some made-up "bro code" when Dan had never even called her his girlfriend? Why rob Runo of her agency?...Yeah, he had to jump through quite a few mental hurdles to not feel guilty about it. And to stop feeling guilty about feeling guilty.

-The first thing that drives them to go out would probably just be physical attraction. But after spending one-on-one time with each other, Runo would like how surprisingly empathetic and thoughtful he is and the astoundingly weird vibes he gives off when he's comfortable enough, while Shun grows to appreciate her strong ambition and her deep passion for those she cares about.

-Obviously, Runo's a Big Fucking Tsundere who can't look anyone in the eyes without blushing, but Shun is surprisingly chill with physical affection. He's not big on it, but he'll put his arm around her shoulders or waist, or grab her hand, or even run his fingers through her hair without much thought. It drives Runo crazy just how casual he is about it.

-Of course, when Runo does eventually turn the tables on him with her classic words of affirmation style, he gets very quiet and flustered. He's pretty good at masking it (like most of his emotions lmao) but not from Runo. She knows.

-I think they'd go on a lot of outdoor dates, like picnics, going to the beach (or wherever you can swim in/near Wardington), going to fairs, all that good shit. And of course, because Shun is a try-hard who can't show affection unless it's through actions and he has a lot of affection to show, he was the one who organised them at first. He needs three courses for the picnic and a big blanket in case she wants to lie down and maybe some pillows? I could read her a book? We should go somewhere where the leaves are falling so it'll look nice, but not too many leaves we don't want ticks- yeah, he calms down eventually once they're further into the relationship, but Runo certainly doesn't have a problem with all the hard work he puts into it.

-They also spend a lot of time just chilling quietly together. They'll hang out in one of their beds, Runo scrolling through her phone and Shun reading some old book, one running their fingers through the other's hair or tracing patterns on their skin. Or they'll just have an afternoon snooze together, or a lazy morning makeout. They just love to relax together.

-When she's not working, Runo makes a point to NEVER enter the kitchen- which means she's a shit cook who, if left to fend for herself, is turning straight to good ol' Micky D's. Luckily for her, Mr. Well-Rounded Rich Man Shun is actually a pretty good cook because he had to cook for himself during/after his mum's death lol and a willing malewife who would gladly cook for his girlfriend at any point to stop her from destroying her arteries. Man will travel all the way into the city with a homecooked meal on request- or just at random sometimes.

-Is Dan okay with this? Who fucking cares lol.

-Runo is torn between wanting to flaunt her hot bf and wanting to hide him from her dad. On the one hand, she thinks everyone should know how happy they are and how well she's being treated. On the other hand, if her dad finds out how well he's treating her, he just won't stand for it. Luckily for her, once her dad does find out and tries his usual intimidation tactic, Shun is just. completely unaffected. and there's just not much else that her dad can do unless he wants his daughter's bf to call CPS on his ass.

They're in dire need for NOMAD esims in Gaza! Please refer to the website on how to buy esims

the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore

who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”

at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it

I still maintain they shouldn’t have made Rhaenys’s entrance on Meleys a “shock” moment. I would have preferred it if Rhaenys’s escape and choice and journey to her dragon was directly paralleled with Aegon’s walk to the crown. 

Not only would seeing more of that sequence give the show the chance to show why she went through the floor rather than through the back door (presumably, it was blocked and showing that also would have shown the danger she was in, and how far the Greens had moved in order to keep her dragon a hostage as much as her) but it would show us the exact moment she decided to make her move and change her stance from passive to assertive and make her actions have a better throughline through the narrative. 

And I can’t help but think of the contrast, as Aegon and Rhaenys are both walking towards something that is empowering. For Aegon, the crown and subsequent love of the masses represent a change in his character as he feels that taste of power for the first time, as he takes that mantle. It’s a freedom for him, to be King, to be at the top of the pyramid. For Rhaenys, however, her freedom and her own power comes from her dragon. Just as we hadn’t seen Aegon claim his birthright (I use the term in context of the scene, I’m not looking to start a civil war), we hadn’t got a close look at what being a Targaryen means for Rhaenys: what her bond is with her dragon, what it looks like when she takes matters into her own hands.

And then it’s a true flip of power. Aemon on top, walking towards his coronation vs Rhaenys in the dark, watching for guards through the underground of the Dragonpit. You could use that to build the tension. What will she do when she reaches Meleys? Will she get to Meleys? And make the audience know that something will go wrong at this event, even as Aegon is crowned and triumphant. Make it less about shock, more about tension and payoff. 

Till Rhaenys is the one with all the power: the true power. A dragon… against Aegon’s trinkets. As that’s what that scene was about, what Rhaenys’s choice was. It was a repeat of history: her watching the wrong man get the crown.
