Cutest Couples of Convergence
In the spirit of Valentine's, the Convergence Chronicle sent out for nominations around the city to receive a list of who people believe is the 'Cutest Couples' of Convergence.
The list was long and intricate, but two couples stood out and have taken the crown(s) as the
CUTEST COUPLE(S) OF CONVERGENCE
Shynne/Theodore
Shynne and Theodore describe their meeting one year ago in the City of Convergence as one typical of our post-apocalyptic world. Shynne was standing in the Convergence City Park near a burning barrel warming herself, when Theodore approached to ask questions about the city. Over the course of the conversation, Shynne became tickled and began to laugh. Theodore mistook Shynne for an infected and almost bludgeoned her in the head with a club. True love!
What had started out as a bludgeoning quickly turned into something a bit more interesting, but then people began to show up and Theodore ran away spooked. It was a good thing that he came back for more. At least we at the Convergence Chronicle want to believe Shynne believes thus.
Shynne and Theodore had to be quiet about their relationship at first. Both were paranoid about outside influence and with an angry ex-boyfriend, it was just safer to remain hidden away. There is a mystery, tenderness and subtle dark romance to having a secret love-affair. It also has the added appeal of bringing someone back for more over and over again. It certainly had this affect for this pair.
Shynne describes Theodore, as "caring, compassionate," and loving the way he smells, though other people have complained about his odor. She does complain that he leaves crumbs everywhere, but "it's whatever." She says he brightens her day, and by the smiles she gives when she sees him, it is obvious to the Convergence Chronicle that she cares for him deeply.
Theodore describes Shynne as "the best." He says she puts up with his bullshit (which let's face it, that's all any man really needs in life), but also talks back to him and shows no restraint. He commented that she calls him a "bitch" to his face and that he finds it, "oddly endearing."
When asked if either of them would change anything about the other, Shynne said she wished Theodore would stop wearing his fez hat (we at the Chronicle do not know what she is talking about, that fez is awesome), throw away his Hawaiian shirt, stop his robots from watching her at inappropriate times, and stop being so sassy! She said, "He's kind of like having a big puppy at times," but that, "it's nothing I can't handle," while smiling wide.
Theodore responded, "All I want is to be able to eat peanut butter cookies in bed, but noooo, I get 'crumbs everywhere'!" He then went on a rant about how the cats vacuum the crumbs up, and that Shynne should not be so sensitive about his crumbs. After a moment he informed the Chronicle that in order to stop her from threatening to destroy his stuff, he asked the robots he brings home to see which one could creep Shynne out the best. Currently Jim the Toaster is winning the little game by screaming in pain at random when she tries to make a sandwich.
At this point in the interview, Shynne began grumbling about how she would never make sandwiches for Theo again.
When asked if the couple would change anything to make falling in love more 'perfect' both agreed that it already was mostly perfect and there was no sense in messing with a good thing. "I've seen enough Doctor Who and heard of literal Chronomancers to figure that <redacted> with the space-time continuum purely to get laid is both baller AND world-ending." stated Theo. "My daddy always said, 'never <redacted> too bad with a good thing.' in more or less words. And he was smarter than Mr. Don't-<Redacted>-With-The-Space-Time-Continuum over here," Replied Shynne while jabbing a thumb toward Theo.
The couple has this advice to give those of Convergence who are looking for love. "Wear a rubber kids, but I assume you mean actual advice people will take?" Was Theo's first response, before continuing. "Don't focus on romance," he explained that trying to be in a relationship doesn't work if you are not happy with yourself. "just do you and you'll be fine." Shynne agreed by stating, "Stop looking." She recounted back to the story of how she met Theo and that she was not looking to fall in love, it just happened. "I bitch a little, whatever, but I wouldn't trade him for the world." However, she went on. "when you try to look too hard, more than half the time it just doesn't really work out or it all comes to bite you back in the <redacted> some kinda way."
The Convergence Chronicle thanks Shynne and Theo for sharing their story with us and the whole of Convergence.
Eglantine and Heather met at the Green Door Tavern when Heather was working at the bar. Eglantine recalled that being in Convergence the first few days/weeks was pretty stressful and she came to unwind with some friends and have a drink. The two began talking and Eglantine teased Heather for having noticed her cleavage. Steamy first meeting!
Neither describe their meeting as 'love at first sight' and explain their romance more as as a 'slow burn.' Eglantine explained to the Chronicle that she found Heather's words flattering, especially when she was in a foul mood the night they met. It was likely that Heather talking about how nice Eglantine looked was not meant to be over-heard, but we at the Chronicle would like to believe that maybe Fate gave a little push in the right direction that night.
The couple recalls there being a lot of flirting, especially at first. Heather flirted and Eglantine flirted back, "I liked the flirting. I liked making her blush," Eglantine told us. "I think everyone else knew we were dating before we realized it."
Heather mused how Eglantine floored her after the third of fourth night of her coming into the Tavern to flirt and talk about life. "'I have found a way to spend my time!'" Heather recalled Eglantine proclaiming to her, "'I walk by each hour to see if you are on shift yet.' The comment floored me. It was blunt, forward and so foreign to me. My jaw dropped. I think I nearly fainted."
It was this moment during the interview that the couple made a few cute jabs at one another regarding Eglantine's cleavage. Heather calls them the, "best pillows ever."
The couple admitted that over-all, the biggest issue about being a couple and trying to be happy is admitting that they are a couple and wish to be happy. When faced with the possible end of the world, it is sometimes hard to admit to oneself that there is something that is really wanted and just going with it.
We at the Chronicle listened to them and took away that these two women are not selfish people and at the end of the day did not want to seem selfish to their friends and family. They are hardworking and loving, but their relationship is something they wanted for themselves and they were not used to that feeling. At the end of the day, they said 'screw the apocalypse' and decided they love one another and that's all there is to it.
"I think we were pessimistic that it couldn't work, but I could be wrong." Eglantine stated. "Cynical is another word, Love." Heather coupled with her lover's statement. "What is the difference?" Eglantine inquired. "I don't think there is one. Not in this case. Burned once, shy of fire?" Heather replied before the couple brought the conversation quickly back to Eglantine's cleavage.
Heather describes Eglantine as beautiful, amazing, confident, endearing, attentive, otherworldly, complex, subtle, engaging, life changing, a word wizard, and "a gift."
Eglantine describes Heather as, "My reason for being, my heart's delight, the person who inspires me to be more of what I am." She went on to say that the two of them were a lot alike in many ways and that her partner did not hold her back, but pushes her forward, and that Heather is funny and they have hilarious conversations.
When asked if they could change anything about their relationship; 'what would it be?' Eglantine quickly replied a swift, "Nothing." Heather mused for a moment and stated, "If I could, I think I'd change more the setting than the relationship. It'd be nice to be back before D13 and be able to do things like travel the world and just worry about getting a dog or a cat...Not how to stop the next near destruction of the city." Eglantine became excited about this statement from her partner and replied. "Oh, yes, then we could get that brewpub off somewhere quiet, and be nice little Pacific Northwest lesbians in flannel plaid and combat boots."
The Convergence Chronicle asked the couple, 'If you were able to do it all over again and make it perfect, would you?' Eglantine replied, "I think it already was perfect. I'm happy to see where things are going to go." Heather seemed a bit disgruntled, but about something not exactly relationship oriented, "I would like to not get desk duty for going to help a friend, and to not have shrapnel in the shoulder." She continued. "I think though, we are stronger for being slow and facing everything together." Eglantine replied, "I still feel bad for the desk duty and the shrapnel. So yes, I would not let her go with me that time I went into a bad part of town. But other than that, I have adored the long, slow burn of our relationship."
The couple has this advice for those on the prowl for love. "Love might be big, but it isn't everything. And there are so many types of love." Says Heather. "Uh huh, don't look for it, but don't push it away just because it isn't what you'd expect or what your mother would have approved of." Eglantine continued. Over all, the couple would like to see Citizens of Convergence focus on other aspects of their life and let love come to them. Accept who you are, accept what you are, accept how love comes and goes and, "Find something to live for, and you will find someone or someone will find you, and you being you is what will pull them in, as much as any perfume." Says Heather.
The Convergence Chronicle would like to thank Eglantine and Heather for sharing their story with us and the rest of Convergence.
