Daily reminder to keep shipping whatever the fuck you want!!!!

"Oh they've never even met" "Oh it's problematic" "Oh it wouldn't make sense" "Oh it's cringey" these are the words of COWARDS

Rarepairs, problematic ships, crossovers, these have all been alive and a part of random for literally forever! Fandom is all about enjoying fiction— it's the space to be weird and cringey about stuff you like! Don't let anyone take that away from you.

Keep mashing those characters together ‼️💥💜

A Quick Reminder

City of Asphodels welcomes everyone who holds proship ideals! But recently, we have been seeing many, many people misunderstanding profic/proship and what they mean.

Proship is being "for shipping" and "for fiction" by extension. ALL fiction.

Respecting that others have tastes in fiction different from ours,

Respecting that they may not enjoy things we enjoy and vice versa,

Respecting that people enjoy all kinds of fiction for all kinds of reasons and that says nothing about them as a person,

These are all part of what being "for fiction" means.

Demeaning someone or believing they are any "less" proship than you for having squicks or triggers in media is not proship.

Going on a someone's blog willingly to make fun of ships or medias they like for any reason is not proship.

Believing you can only like problematic fiction for the "right" reasons (e.g coping) and looking down on others who don't is not proship.

Hating others for their love of fiction is not "for fiction."

Hating others for their love of fiction will never be proship.

Nobody who judges, ridicules and harasses others is "proship" regardless of whether they enjoy dark or taboo fiction!

Keep enjoying what makes you happy, that's the best thing you can ever do 💜

[cityofasphodels]

A little bit of affirmation for all the denizens out there with selfships/yumes that are "problematic" or would be considered taboo irl.

You aren't hurting anyone by being with them,

Your love for them does not make you a bad or immoral person,

Who your f/o is says nothing about who you are or your ideals other than that you are very based,

Regardless of what anyone says, you are perfectly valid!

You are not "gross" or "vile" or anything anyone tells you for loving and being with your f/o, and I'm sure they want to stay by your side, too. Consuming fiction does not make you, or set you up to harm others irl.

As always, keep doing what makes you happy! 💜💜

Some positivity from Moonlight cookie...

I love and appreciate you, proshippers!

[cityofasphodels]

Remember everyone,

Being proship doesn't mean you like every trope/ship. It means you won't harass over it.

You are allowed to dislike things! You are allowed to think they're gross! You don't even need to like any ship to be proship— these qualities don't make you a phony or less proship.

Proship means anti harassment. If you believe in freedom in fiction and that harassment over fiction is wrong, you are proship.

[cityofasphodels]

Recently, I've been seeing an influx of antis who believe that problematic/taboo content is bad because it's all "shock value" or "fetish content."

I need to remind everyone that art does not have to have deeper meaning to bring you joy.

So what if what you mostly read is omegaverse smut? So what if you enjoy art of your taboo ships doing things that aren't directly sending a message? So what if the thing you enjoy is seen as "meaningless" because it does not outright criticise something in it?

When we say that we should be allowed to explore dark fiction, we don't just mean content that dictates a certain moral ideal— we mean every single piece of fiction, "icky" or not!

Because— guess what happens when we ban these "gross," "meaningless" artworks? We'll end up arguing over what is "meaningful" enough, and then everything becomes restrictive! This is no slippery slope fallacy. This is a pattern every attempt at censorship in history has followed.

To support "gross" fiction is to support dark fiction, and to support dark fiction is to support our collective freedom to fiction.

Keep reading what makes you smile 💜💜

...Can you write some things about Werewolf or Birthday Cake, please? I'd love to hear your HCs.

I'll do both in due time~ I have some thoughts about them, but I'll do Werewolf first!

These are general headcanons, so no trigger warnings apply as far as I'm aware!

Werewolf Cookie Headcanons

Werewolf cookie was made with a lot of pepper— seemingly black pepper— so I wonder if he's somehow related to peppercorn cookie? Who also seems to be made out of black pepper.

He's a loner by force in accordance to his lore, so I think he's quite touch starved. Not just for hugs— even just a pat on the back is rare for him.

Following the previous point, I think he'd actually be very confused and upset by people physically touching him :( because he's so convinced he'll hurt them

He's a guy who takes a lot of time to trust people, and most give up before they even get there. And when he does— how he displays affection isn't very verbal. To his closest friends, he'll maybe give them pretty rocks he finds.

We don't actually know how he ended up as WERETOFLOW, but I wondered so hard as to how this homeless guy who hangs in the woods became a star I made a whole story about it. See below

WERETOFLOW started with an abandoned guitar and one depressed Werewolf cookie. Upon hearing his tunes, people were amazed by his skills, garnering him sponsors and attention— hence how he even got the outfit in the first place

Last one for Werewolf, the cause of his scar is never explained, but I like to think it was caused by a particularly nasty injury when the villagers had chased him out

[cityofasphodels]

Ooooh!! Would you be comfortable with some x reader headcanons? If so, could I have some relationship headcanons for Yogurt Cream Cookie? If not, I completely understand, and in this case just general fluffy headcanons for him are fine!!

I am totally okay with Yume headcanons!

Yogurt Cream Cookie Romantic Headcanons

Granted that he's one of the richest men in the world of Cookie Run and also a massive puppy I can't imagine him not spoiling you? Like you'll off handedly mention wanting This Thing and he will get you it in two business days MAX

On the same vein he's a very determined lover, he tries his utmost best to fulfill every need and want you have. You say you want this rare thing that comes out only in batches of like 300 per century and he will fight tooth and nail to give you one.

My personal theory/headcanon on why this is is mostly due to the fact he doesn't feel like he's genuinely likeable. His father is a busy man and his brother is...his brother.

Following up on that he's most likely very shy when receiving affection, despite giving it in heaps. He gets flustered if you give him a kiss and looks at you with starry eyes, waiting for a second.

He loves physical touch and quality time, he loves cuddles as a result. Yoghurt cream loves being close to you and nuzzling you.

He loves it when you brush through his hair and gently pull/scratch at his scalp, it makes him feel safe and... vulnerable, almost. In a good way.

He adores it when you infodump him, whilst he himself doesn't mind talking on end, seeing somebody so passionate about something makes him feel equally fun and excited.

Following up on that, despite being a little...socially unaware at time he has a big heart and is greatly empathetic. He'll end up crying if you're crying, and he'll have fun if you're having fun. He's a big feeler!

Extra: He talks about you nonstop to Lilac, it's a miracle Lilac isn't sick of it. In fact, he (very subtly) try to set you two up.

Just a quick reminder!

There is no wrong way to enjoy a media.

Whether you are in it for the story, the characters, the gameplay, the community, whatever your priority may be— there is no wrong way to love a piece of work.

Yes, even if you make "inaccurate" headcanons for characters you love.

Yes, even if you are more into the aesthetics than any deeper meaning.

Yes, even if you only engage with it through playthroughs or video analysis other secondary sources.

In the end, you and all the other fans are together in loving and supporting a piece of work. If somebody enjoys the content in a way you personally don't want to see, simply block and move on! The only "wrong" way to be a fan is to be one who is malicious and hurtful to others and to real people.
