!!!! first of all thank u sm for this ask anon I've been waiting for someone to ask me about my non otp ships dkdjdjdjd maettael are so very sweet 😭 in the simplest of explanations, they're so lovely with each other but it all balances off because they also bicker a Lot. The best friend vibes go off the charts. With the rps lens on tho ohhhh taerae is so dkdjdd smitten and matt is equally as down bad. The song taerae wrote for matt and him crying because matt looked pretty in the sunset will forever remain my maettael roman empires.

I just think they're neat really! A very good ship, a beautiful and lovely dynamic irl it's just so good. I think taerae was someone matt needed in his life, a same aged friend that he previously most likely wished he had! And honestly imo it's like. Matthew teaches Taerae to Feel and just lay off the many many thoughts he has while Taerae teaches Matthew to be free and less scared of boundaries (esp in terms of like age or hierarchy, in both ways; up and down). Idk if this makes sense but yeah KDJDJS that's the best way I can explain it! I think they really do fulfil essential roles in eos lives and I'm so glad they found eo and became such close friends. Watching them go from acquaintances to best friends was a beautiful journey!

Honestly looking forward to more of them together because they always manage to bring a smile to my fave
