This Is So Perfect I Swear - Blog Posts
the accidental ship aka Armin/Jade
+ armin does not want to hike. jade wants to hike. armin complains he does not have boots. jade buys boots. armin still does not want to hike. jade says he can borrow some of his clothes and they’ll have a picnic in the woods. armin agrees to go hiking.
+ (jade’s voice cracks) “aha nerd” “SHUT UP armin i’m going through my second puberty”
+ jade loves wearing weird 80s inspired sweaters and wool shirts. he basically dresses like a hippie and owns too many turtle neck and beanies. armin only owns nerd hoodies and will gladly steal anything that will fit him.
+ jade eases armin into outdoor activities so it’s not a big shock of really intense stuff that send him back further in his cave. he encourages armin to get a little more sun, vitamin d will help with his mood, he promises.
+jade owns a lot of plants and names every single one of them. he introduced every one of them to armin. when he gets a new one he’ll send him a picture and ask what its name should be.
+ they definitely smoke weed together from time to time. jade gets really giggly when he’s high and just tells the most absurd stories to make armin laugh.
+ their first kiss probably happened while they were coming down from a high together and were both very very tired and it just seemed to be the next natural move to make.
+ jade isn’t a big gamer but he sure plays stardew valley and animal crossing and also tried his hand with the sims. playing with someone just makes it even more fun. they end up playing with a big family living on a farm raising chickens. armin shows him all the cheats.
+ jade is a very chill and sweet, and he can sense sometimes when armin is particularly stressed out and bottling it up, or when his add is acting up, and he just needs to be grounded. jade is very good at that.
+ armin helps him take care of some things in the garden, and take care of his own plants too. he always finds himself smiling when he surprises jade talking to one of them. he says it’s good to talk to inanimate things because you’re sure that they’re listening.
+ similarly, when jade gets random bouts of dysphoria (ding dong i hc jade is trans) and is just not in the mood, armin will him his space but still make sure that if he needs to talk, armin will be the inanimate object that he can be sure will listen.
+ jade was 5’7 before starting T and ended up at just a little more than 5’8, and now being almost as tall as armin. he jokes that if only he could get another inch they could settle the Height War
+ neither of them are morning people. well, jade a little more than armin, he’ll most likely get up before 9, but he’s also more likely to take a nap in the afternoon. he’s given up trying to get armin up before 11 on days off.
+ armin learns to like being outside a little more; he learns that he love most of all taking walks at night with jade, when the grass is wet and the air is cool, when the stars shows and they keep their voices down because everything else around them is silent.
