A Few Changes...

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all been well! The last you guys saw of this blog, we had that thing where Careen Ingle, one of the Unikitty showrunners, posted a tweet confirming that she’d been writing with the intent of Master Frown being an adult and Unikitty being a child. This led to a lot of drama and pedophillia accusations being thrown about, and I wrote up a post discussing staff inconsistencies, show inconsistencies, and the concept of death of the author. And then I took a break from the blog to give everything time to simmer down and think about how I personally felt about those things.  How much importance people put into things showrunners say outside of a show but don’t actually include in a show varies wildly from person to person. While I’m likely to see something a showrunner says as “bonus” information that I can accept or ignore as I see fit, it’s clear a lot of the Unikitty fandom sees Ingle’s comments as law and is no longer comfortable with Unifrown as a romantic ship because of it. There has been noticeably less romantic Unifrown content since Ingle’s tweet, and that’s fine. I am not here to police how anybody else feels about death of the author just as I don’t want them to try and police me about it, and thankfully it looks like the fandom is taking a similar “live and let live” approach to this. That, or people are being really good at deleting anon hate instead of feeding it. Either way, nice.  If this was a normal shipping blog, that’d be the end of the discussion. But this blog has always been a little but different due to one thing: I never made AwYeahUnifrown to just be about romantic shipping in the first place. I didn’t start this blog just to ship Unikitty and Master Frown romantically. In fact, Unifrown as a romantic ship is actually pretty low on my list of ships (I’m sorry if that seems like a massive betrayal to some of y’all.) I started this blog because I like Unikitty and Master Frown’s dynamic in any way, shape, or form. I like them as friends, frenemies, or enemies just as much, if not more, than I actually “ship” them. Every piece of “Unifrown” content I’ve made myself for this blog - fall those image sets I’ve made for each episode where they interact - can be seen as platonic. It just seemed like, since I didn’t DISLIKE them as a romantic ship, also reblogging romantic content and calling it a “Unifrown blog” made sense. But now, with this situation, I get the feeling there’s a lot of people who only want to see Unikitty and Master Frown platonically, and I want to respect those people. I want to make it so people can enjoy the content I make featuring Unikitty and Master Frown being platonic dorks without also needing to see a romantic ship they may no longer be comfortable with. While I’m sure many people will blacklist #Unifrown altogether, I’d like to keep tagging platonic content as #Unifrown because people who ship Unifrown will still enjoy seeing that content. So here’s what I’m going to do:

Any posts or reblogs on AwYeahUnifrown that feature Unikitty and Master Frown interacting in a way that can only be seen as romantic will now be given the tag #Unifromance so they can easily be blacklisted. 

The blog’s description has also been updated to mention this tag and detail how this blog is about Unikitty and Master Frown in ANY sort of relationship - friends, enemies, or lovers. And this is the last I hope to say on the matter! And by “hope” I mean real talk here just for a second, and with any luck this will never come up again: Like I said before, drama about this seems to have died down and the haters seem to have moved on, so I’m not expecting this blog to deal with a lot of harassment on this issue. However, there’s the slim chance this blog becoming active again when everyone is very bored at home could inspire a new wave of ship-to-ship combat. I've been around in fandom long enough that I don’t give much mind to anon hate. If all I get is a few rude people showing up in my inbox that need deleted and blocked, it’ll be dealt with quietly. However... Well, if get thrown into the middle of a cyberbully-laden ship war and run out of  the patience to not clap back... All I’m saying is I clap back hard.

Have you heard the news about Unikitty and Master Frown’s ages?

Ugh.

TBH I’ve had an incredibly bad day for reasons unrelated to this and this was just kind of the cherry on top for me, so I’m not in the right headspace to make an official “statement” or a decisive stance on how this blog is going to move forward, but here’s a pile of my immediate thoughts. 

Before I get started…. It pains me to ask this, and I’ve never asked anything like this before, but I would appreciate if Unicrew Staff Please Do Not Interact With This Post? Maybe even don’t read? I suppose I can’t stop staff from reading and replying to this if they really want but I don’t think it’s gonna to benefit anybody and it’ll probably just be uncomfortable for everyone involved. I’m going to write the rest of this post FOR FANS, not with the idea of staff reading it in mind.

Anyways….

So like…. I’m fully aware the staff can do whatever they want with their show. 100% aware. Do not get me wrong. I know the unicrew doesn’t owe me anything. But…. people have been asking for ages for a while??? Staff have left it fairly vague?? Staff have reblogged Unifrown fanart? To 180 on that this late in the game feels a tad mean, and some of the responses to people sad about the news have also been kind of mean. :( One staff member in particular has been a bit more aggressive than seems necessary with shippers? Another blog got a “Yikes” from them for being jokingly over-enthusiastic about Hawkofox and…. That’s…. how fandom is? We love our ships and like to be enthusiastic/silly? Seeing that was kind of the moment I started getting nervous about staff seeing/replying to my stuff. I’m not here to smack talk anyone - I deeply appreciate all the work of everyone on the Unicrew - but…. Well….. Yeah. That was an awkward moment that made me feel a bit insecure in “my own house” so to speak.

Again, the staff can make any decision about their characters whenever they want, but obviously I’m rathered saddened by this, if only because stupid people are using it as an excuse to call people who shipped something they didn’t like pedophiles. All of this also means new fans who may have not gotten the memo about the ages - because it’s not confirmed anywhere in canon - and come in shipping Unifrown will be likely targets of some pretty nasty anon hate. It’s honestly tempting to ignore anything that isn’t stated in the show outright anyway and go full blown Death of the Author when stuff like this happens. It’s fun when creators of works explain how they interpreted things that were never stated as fact in canon, but one of the many things the people being bullies to the Unifrown shippers right now are forgetting is that not everyone accepts anything a creator, staff, etc may say was their intention as irrefutable canon. Some people may decide to flat out ignore the ages given on Twitter and continue to have their own headcanons based purely on the show, and that’s not WRONG. That’s been considered a valid way of viewing fiction for CENTURIES. It’s gone a bit out of fashion in modern fandom, where it’s so easy to communicate with authors, but TL;DR If you assume anybody who ships Unifrown after this is trying to promote pedophillia and send them hate, you’re dumb. Plain and simple.

So what does all of this mean for this blog?

I don’t know how I feel about running this blog with this new information.  Even if I decide “You know what? I don’t consider Twitter answers canon, and I’m going to continue to enjoy this ship until actual canon irrefutably states official ages and no part of me feels squicky about that” it still means I’m going to have to deal with the DRAMA of people who see Word Of Staff as absolute law bringing the anon hate and pedophile accusations. And maybe I’d be in more of a mood to say “Fine, bring it!” if I wasn’t already barely updating this blog before this happened. Unifrown week mainly didn’t happen because I was in the hospital, but I also legitimately had forgotten about it until I was reminded by folks asking me about it. Goes to show how big of a priority it is to me lately.

So…. right now I’m not really updating this blog anyway, and given the drama I’m probably not gonna start back up anytime soon??? But I also don’t feel a need to immediately DELETE EVERYTHING either. So for now I guess the blog is just gonna chill and exist on an indefinite hiatus. Peace.

Is unifrown week still happening?

Soooo I was hoping to put together a list for Unifrown week again this year, and then I landed myself in the hospital! :'D It's nothing life threatening but I'm stuck here for the time being. I'll drop a belated prompt list when I'm better but you guys should start the fun without me!!
