#single parents
In case you haven’t seen it, DHr Twitter has been taken over by Socmed AUs. So I started something that was a plot bunny and have turned it into a full story on that platform.
This site will be delayed, so my twitter feed will be a quicker response time, but nonetheless I’m doing this for the heck of it.
Our plot bunny? Single Parents, with a twist.
The Contract
So as a way to get started, let’s introduce most of the cast, shall we?
(Prologue 1)
I decided to do a bit of a wrap up of this crazy crazy year we have managed to get through, each day for the rest of the year will go over some of my show’s and ship’s from throughout the year.
After a 2019 that saw the wrecking of one of my longest OTP’s of Veronica and Logan, the ruining of my GOT ships (and the whole show), the killing of Reylo – aka the thing that drew me into Star Wars and still the only one’s I’ve were the ones they were in, and countless more, I went into 2020 already apprehensive of what would come.
I’ll start with the shows that have meant so much to me over the years that came to an end in 2020, for the most part they all had final seasons, meaning they all had the chance to wrap up their storylines and provide some sort of closure for us.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: I’ll be honest, before the last season, I was actually more of a causal watcher, I never was super invested in this show until the last season and they introduced DOUSY, this ship was probably my ship of 2020. It made me write more fics than I had in forever, more gifs, and even the first group chat I joined, I fell hard and fast for this ship, and was so expecting it to not end as endgame or for Daniel to die, because it was 2020, and because of my shipping track record. This was one of the best written ships, especially in such a short timeframe -without feeling rushed- and as much as I wish I see more of it, a part of me is terrified of them ruining it if they ever do anything further with them. Overall the finale was one of the best I have seen in a long time.
Arrow:I have loved and hated parts of this series, and the ending was pretty similar, I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it, regardless, the lack of Oliver and Felicity on my screens is sad. I wrote a little of these two back in earlier seasons and was always so thrilled with the response I got – fun fact, while in lockdown, I did debate finishing a story I wrote years ago!
Blindspot:I struggled with this finale, my otp for this show was ruined in the first episode by killing Reade off, and while I was okay with the overall final season, and I choose to believe that it ended with Jane alive, I did kind of feel let down, especially with the waits between seasons I had endured. I felt it there was rehashing of already used storylines, and for a limited number of episodes, it could have been done better.
The 100: where do I start, I had been with this show since the start, I had gotten so many friends into it in season 1 and Bellarke is probably one of my very main OTP’s. I had planned to write something going into the last season, a thank you of sorts to the show and the character’s, and then had gone to throughout and then after, but every time I’ve gone to, I’ve been disheartened. I wanted to say regardless of if they were endgame or not, it was such a special ship, regardless of the hate and of people’s opinion on it, it was such a big part of the show, the ship and the shippers were such a large reason we even got more than one season – I know I was not alone all those years ago when I was so surprised it got picked up for another season. And although the show went a little weird, and I wasn’t really a fan of the later seasons, I kept watching, only to see the characters and the storyline so ruined, and such a horrible ending (regardless of ships). I will say, the Bellarke ship did get a little weird for me after they got together in real life, and the RL version is the one I will pick any day, the two are such lovely people (both I have had the pleasure of meeting a few times) and their real happiness definitely outweighs any fictional storyline.
Honourable mentions go to The good place – who wrapped up a in a serious but comedic way that only it could pull off, how to get away with murder – it might have lost my viewing at times but I actually enjoyed the ending, god friended me – I might not have overly like the ending, but it was a light hearted show that broke things up a bit, will and grace – I mainly watched this out of nostalgia and I think I almost preferred the newer episodes over the old ones, single parents – if only to remind me of my love for gossip girl, I was sad to see this get cancelled, and finally Stumptown – who went the opposite of some of the shows of late, by being renewed only to be cancelled, somehow a show with Robyn (HIMYM) and Nick (New Girl) as the main characters was one of my favourite new shows for the year.
Stay tuned for continuing shows tomorrow!

@snazzieyama asked, “otps and single parents au please uwu! congrats on 200 babie!!!”
1. “You’re the next-door neighbor my child has attached themselves to, and I’m so sorry.”
2. “We work together and we’ve always been a little on the hostile side toward each other, but I had to bring my child to work today and you’re the only one they’ve gotten along with so far.”
3. “After my spouse died, you were the friend who helped me pick up the pieces and raise my child, but lately I’ve been looking at you… Differently.”
4. “Our kids are best friends, so we end up spending time together so that they can. Luckily, you’re really cute.”
5. “My child wandered off at the grocery store, and I’ve been panicking, but you’re the kind-hearted stranger who brought them back to me. Please let me thank you with dinner.”
6. “You’re the first person I’ve gone out with in years, and I’m nervous about it anyway, but halfway through dinner I get a call that my child has a fever and I should go check on them. I’m so sorry, but I-what do you mean you’ll go help me? Are you really that understanding?”
7. “My job keeps my crazy-busy, and you always offer to watch my child. I feel guilty constantly leaving them with you, but neither of you seem to mind.”
8. “I asked you to be my child’s godparent when they were born, but lately I’ve been wondering how you’d feel about step-parent.”
9. “Our kids are partners for a school project, and neither of them told us about some really crucial supplies they needed until the last minute, so we’re out on an 11 PM Walmart run.”
10. “We went on one date, and it was decent but didn’t really go anywhere. However, your contact is right beneath my friend’s in my phone, and I accidentally called you when I was sick and asked you to watch my child. My bad, but could you actually please come because I think I might pass out.”

I know that Single Parents is a show about, well, singleparents, but I’ve been shipping Poppy/Douglas and Will/Angie since the beginning of the season. I mean, look at how cute they are!
