Unpopular ship opinion. Cameron/Charlie could have a great romance written about them from antagonistic reluctant friends, to eventually being in love. Why am I actually so into this idea?
YES! I totally imagine that. They would realize that they’re not that different. Once they get that out of the way, they really start to click. They would start out all awkward, not knowing how to act. But they learn to appreciate each other for who they are.
reblog and put in the tags your Tumblr History. How long have you been here? How many URLs have you gone through? Is this your OG blog? How many sides do you have? Etc…
Ever just sit and stare out a window trying to think of how a shrimp would see you?
I. HATE. IN-TEXT. CITATIONS.
Not just when I'm writing a paper, but when I'm READING a textbook it looks SO messy (Rick-Astley, 1969, p. 420) and it's SO distracting, (Morbius, 2022) and SO disruptive (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, & Rudolph, 1964.) to my reading and (Bird, Grouch, Monster, & Monster, 1997 ) learning process. And why are some of them SO FUCKING (According, 2007; To & All, 1991; Known, Laws, & Of, 2378; Aviation, 57 B.C.E.) LONG???
