Blue Oni
I can't believe I actually get to say this but Darin is actually dating someone
Blue Oni
He confessed to Allura on Christmas Eve and, much to his shock, the feelings were mutual
Blue Oni
so they've been 'dating' ever since
Blue Oni
I put 'dating' in quotes because they haven't actually gone out on any dates in public because they're afraid of the imPort fan community finding out and blowing it entirely out of proportion
Blue Oni
that's more for Allura's sake if anything because Darin has to resist the urge to bellow "I'M DATING A SPACE PRINCESS, SUCK IT" from the roof of his forge
Blue Oni
BUT
macey
DARIN IM PROUD
Blue Oni
he does have a special Valentine's date planned for them and in order to go out with her and not draw too much attention he's going to dye his beautiful blue hair black and have it straightened so he doesn't look like him
COOL GUY ZONE
COOL GUY ZONE
how does he see lucina do this and learn nothing. im amazed at how he avoids learning anything
Blue Oni
they also have a running mantra of "No more sacrifices" that they repeat to one another since they both have the bad habit of putting the world before their own needs and happiness
COOL GUY ZONE
but ALSO im happy for them... get them smooches
Blue Oni
they're done sacrificing their happiness and want a shot at it for themselves for a change and holy shit things are positive and good?
Blue Oni
COOL GUY ZONE
IT'S GONNA WORK BECAUSE UNLIKE LUCINA, DARIN CAN ACT
Blue Oni
also he's not trying to date himself he just doesn't want to stand out
COOL GUY ZONE
LMAOOOOO
COOL GUY ZONE
you ever been a better actor just to flex on your blue sister
✶ 𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨!
i'm SO PROUD of him
Blue Oni
as he walks around holding hands with a beautiful, silver haired, space elf
Blue Oni
listen, this plan has flaws
Blue Oni
but the last month and a half has consisted of a decent work/life balance for once for Darin
Blue Oni
he works 7 to 4 or 5 on weekdays in the forge, weekends off
Blue Oni
and goes home and he and Allura bingewatch movies snuggled under blankets since she's from outer space and he's from JRPG world
Blue Oni
and he is perfectly content with this set up
Blue Oni
they've recently started a movie collection where the main stars are mice
Slapricorn
it's a surprisingly well-populated genre
Blue Oni
so there's the Rescuers and the Rescuers Down Under, the American Tail movies, Stewart Little, the Secret of Nimh
WATERING CAN'T
Is it Stuart little
Blue Oni
THEY'RE IN THERE
WATERING CAN'T
Fuck
Slapricorn
there's also literally anything mickey mouse, but the kingdom hearts kiddies are here
Slapricorn
let's not make this weird

DARIN-SAN AND ALLURA-SAN
Blue Oni
HE HAS TO TELL HER THE GOOD NEWS
Blue Oni
he's going to be clearing a spot in the forge for Allura to work in since she got her Altean Alchemy powers back
Blue Oni
which means she can just...idk...conjure
Blue Oni
things
Blue Oni
He doesn't know how it works okay Momo he just knows she can MAKE THINGS and she had a Blue robot lion that hangs around now
Slapricorn
that is a drastic overslimplification
Blue Oni
right sorry
Slapricorn
she doesn't even work with the material stuff so much as "hey I'm going to put your soul back in your body, k? k"
Slapricorn
and also floating robot arms that function like muscle arms
Blue Oni
she puts her hands on things, they glow, and then they either do what she wants or they combine to do what she wants
Slapricorn
and robots that think they're people or something it's not clear
Blue Oni
also she can just build ships with it apparently????
Blue Oni
all Darin knows is that now if they ever need something that neither he, nor Momo can physically produce, Allura can just will into existence
elle?????
Man frick u she tried her best FOR YOUR SAKES
Slapricorn
I mean she didn't will the ship into existence
elle?????
U out there gettin love she out here loveless and BUSY
Slapricorn
she made it into a transforming robot because ??????
Slapricorn
there was a build process, but like a good 98% of the internals are just bullshit space magic
Blue Oni
Lucina's got no time time for love she's too busy punching evil
Blue Oni
Don't worry, Lucina, one day your Prince of Kanada will come
Amiho ho ho
omg secret dating, that is so cute
Blue Oni
the imPort fanbase is aggressive and terrifying
Blue Oni
all of their dates have been at home
Blue Oni
which usually means Darin has to buy desserts for their dinner and then hide them
Blue Oni
he'll buy something not-dessert related, eat that, then put the desserts into that box so Allura doesn't find them
Blue Oni
because she will find them
Heimerjingle ☃️
that's awesome and confusing but ok
Heimerjingle ☃️
the power thing not the dessert thing
Slapricorn
"awesome and confusing" is the best description
