boyfriends who kick ass together

Riven and Helia do art related activities together during the weekends. Helia introduced more art forms besides music (collages, paintings, etc.) to Riven. At first Riven sucked at them, but after being reassured by Helia, he’s better at them. It also helped him express his feelings more!
Remember the scene where Helia called out Riven’s treatment to Musa? (S3 EP19) Imagine they both do that to each other. It’d be nice for each of them to find out their flaws from one another, and work it out with each other. (Or work on it by themselves.)
They both enjoy taking walks/jogs with each other. It just takes longer incase Helia wants to sketch something he sees on the way (only on walks).
Sleeping in bed together at first, Riven needed a lot of space. He eventually cuddled up to Helia, then allowed Helia to cuddled up with him. Now both hug each other while sleeping, but can change incase one or both of them need space. (Riven likes being little spoon.)
Another point: Helia helps with pointing out Riven’s toxic masculinity.
Riven tries to do things “traditionally” romantic for Helia (Writing a love poem, etc.), but either Helia (genuinely) laughs at it or just says,”You tried your best.”
Helia takes care of his skin because of his skin routine. Riven makes fun of it at first, but then gets slowly interested. Now they both have skin care routines!
Helia likes looking at Riven’s face and expressions, probably sketches them. Riven likes looking at Helia, especially when he’s smiling or laying down (Because he looks great with his hair down and out.) Really makes him blush and question himself. Ya know?
“Why did you grow out your hair?” “Because I can?”
“You’re pretty gay.” “Says the one wearing a crop top.”
Additionally: “Look at these cute pens.” “Helia that’s gay.” “...Riven we’ve been dating-”

AHH I just meant that while rivelia is a popular specialist/specialist ship (maybe the most popular one actually?), it's often liked from a very... fanon perspective. People really enjoy the Angry Red Character and Calm Pacifist Blue Character trope (i do too!) but in canon rivelia just isn't really like that? At least, not to the extent that people usually think of them in fanon.
People often focus on that dynamic of angry/calm for rivelia when there's a lot there that can be really interesting! Like Riven's dislike and distrust of Helia at first actually being residual feelings of dislike of Sky (and assuming that Helia would be another Sky). Or how Helia never disliked Riven, even when he was being a little bitch to him! Or how Riven understands Helia's more negative feelings in ways that even Flora sometimes doesn't. Or Helia being able to express annoyance with Riven without Riven considering it a personal attack or challenge like he still does with some of the others. Or Riven still getting really worried when Helia does dangerous shit on missions (in a way that he really doesn't get with the other guys). Or Helia always being a quiet comfort for Riven and being there when he wants to vent.
There's just... a lot that goes into their friendship that people often miss because they end up focusing a lot more on the angry/calm or fighter/pacifist dynamics. And like,,, there's nothing inherently wrong with that don't get me wrong, but I wish there was more rivelia content that was based on their canon relationship! I think riven/nabu (rivbu? naven... ??) also gets that fanon treatment of angry/calm when again, so much more goes into their friendship! But for rivelia specifically, they just have a lot of potential as a pairing (platonically and romantically) but so much of it gets missed out on :(
they/he - nom nom nom - - multifandom- sorry if i like spam, just means i enjoy your content :P
