Like many great romances, the relationship between these two digital channels started with a disagreement.
It's like a @SBS2 vs @ABC2 engagement showdown on my feed from 6pm -9pm every night :|
@emephant what do you say, @SBS2? Arm wrestle?
@ABC2 @emephant We're more of a thumb war kind of channel....
Things quickly turned flirtatious.
.@SBS2 You'd have an advantage! Everyone on SBS is naked, we'd get distracted!
@ABC2 Sometimes we show football too..... besides we've seen your Friday nights, you're not unfamiliar with nudity.
And the ship had sailed.
I ship it. RT @ABC2: .@SBS2 You'd have an advantage! Everyone on SBS is naked, we'd get distracted!
@lesty76 We've been told to kiss, @SBS2. Meet you behind the bike shed?
@SBS2 were hesitant at first.
@ABC2 @lesty76
But @ABC2 were keen.
@SBS2 @lesty76
They definitely didn't want their parental figure/managing director involved.
@anthonysegaert7 @MicHubert @SBS2 Don't tag @mscott! That's like your dad overhearing you talking about sex! *blushes, hides screen*
It was pretty epic.
@ameliachappelow @SBS2 We are the Romeo and Juliet of government funded digital TV social media accounts.
@ABC2 @ameliachappelow Less death and mutual sacrifice though. #spoilers
...And dirty.
@SARussellwords @marcfennell @SBS2 @ameliachappelow Is "booty-tweeting" a thing yet?
@ABC2 @SARussellwords @marcfennell @ameliachappelow If it is we shotgun the doco about it.
@SBS2 @SARussellwords @marcfennell @ameliachappelow You and your sporting coverage! Dibs on the spoof doco.
@ABC2 @SBS2 @marcfennell @ameliachappelow oh my. Aunty said spoof!!!
@SARussellwords @SBS2 @marcfennell @ameliachappelow We didn't mean it like that! We just wanted a spunky cum back.
Other people complicated things.
@sbs2 is like the cooler, sassier cousin of @abc2
@mdlp00 @SBS2 OH NO YOU DIDN'T.
@ABC2 @mdlp00
And it just fueled their sizzling chemistry.
The sexual tension between @sbs2 & @abc2 tantalizing.
Then another obstacle appeared...
@mrbenjaminlaw @marcfennell @SBS2 @ABC2 Aren't they like half brother & sister?
But @SBS2 cleared that up quick smart.
@jedistocky @mrbenjaminlaw @marcfennell @ABC2 More like cousins, twice removed.
The fans were well and truly on board.
It’s nearly time for some hot, steamy @SBS2/@ABC2 fanfiction.
Today I found my new OTP: @ABC2 and @SBS2 #trueaustraliandrama
Just bang already @SBS2 @ABC2 #OTP
Not going to lie, @ABC2 & @SBS2 are my OTP. #iwillgodownwiththisship
The 2s were OK with that.
@tollplaza @Chainsawnicorn @ABC2 We'd like the title of said fan fic to be "It takes 2 to tango'. Please.
@SBS2 @tollplaza @Chainsawnicorn "what happens after station close..."
@anniea89 @ABC2 @tollplaza @Chainsawnicorn This thing basically writes itself.
Things got serious.
@SBS2 @ABC2 The 2's are the new Kimye. Can I be at your wedding?
@Anniestas @SBS2 It'll be televised of course. We'll sell the rights for dozens of dollars!
@Anniestas @ABC2 Dual broadcast. Makes sense for such an important national event. Your invite's in the mail!
@SBS2 @Anniestas I'm picturing a national, Wills & Kate style tour afterwarrds.
They defended each other, like good couples do.
howd i only just follow @SBS2. so much better than @ABC2.... (discuss)
@Ol4er @SBS2 Well now you're just throwing shade for the sake of it...
@ABC2 @Ol4er You can totally continue to compliment us, whilst not insulting them though. Feel free to do that.
@SBS2 @Ol4er Awww! Sticking up for us! #swoon
Then this happened.
Not what we were expecting, but we're into it. RT @ABC2: Look, @SBS2! Our fanfic is happening!
And actual fan art appeared.
I want to imagine @SBS2 and @ABC2 as a buddy cop pairing. Hanging out together and solving crimes. Is that weird?
No words... RT"@JabberworksArt: The @SBS2 / @ABC2 buddy cop movie everybody's clamouring for (starring @Jan__Fran ). "
Hey @ABC2, what do you think of our tache? via @tollplaza
Today, talk moved to the honeymoon.
So apparently you can now travel by Dragon between two mountains in Wales. The internet said so.
@SBS2 Are you planning our honeymoon? That's sweet.
You digital channels, always flirting. Get a room. RT “@ABC2: @SBS2 Are you planning our honeymoon? That's sweet.”
@Lawrence_Leung @SBS2 We're planning to! WITH A DRAGON.
