i will champion rarepairs until i am a wisp in the wind of a stars light. My babies have chemistry, and if all who can see it is me, then that is already all who need to see for me to thrive in the light of my creation whether i write them or dream them, and anyone who tries to take that from me will suffer a fool's death of pity
fanfic writers who write for rare pair ships are treasures and I hope they all know about the impact they have on fandoms. like… they’re the ones bringing these ships to lives, they’re one of the few people who saw the potential between two characters whose dynamics, whether or not they interact in canon, were overlooked by most fans, and they created something beautiful out of these potential dynamics. like??? hello???? that is pure genius.
not to mention how they’re the lifelines for other people who enjoy these ships but didn’t have any fics to consume until these tireless writers spent hours or days or weeks or months or years writing about these characters and their relationships, and just shared the worlds they created with their audiences for free.
or how they singlehandedly introduced the ships to new people who would’ve otherwise never thought about these ships before.
how they could just make people fall in love with the dynamics between characters who have little to no canon screentime together.
how they could just make people fall in love with the dynamics between characters who aren’t lovers in canon, characters who don’t indicate any clear hint of romance in canon.
how they see what most fans don’t and how they create such beautiful worlds for these characters are simply insane.
fanfic writers who write for rare pair ships are treasures.
shoutout to every fanfic writer who writes for rare pair ships.

i was kind of imagining all 15 pipes dropping at the same time in one cacophony but he drops them one after another very methodically and then sighs and goes At least i only dropped 14 of them.. & then there's. well you're smart you can figure this one out

i'm so tired of the yaoi-ification of mlm ships where people feel the need to make one of them (usually the fandom-assigned bottom) into a teeny tiny waifish twink and the other into a huge musclebound super aggro guy (usually the fandom-assigned top) i know this is like a thing many people have been saying for years but i just feel like it has never actually gotten better in fandom spaces. the fatphobia of it, the gender essentialism, the homophobia, it's all so fucking annoying it makes me want to scream
#prev tags#hey Gil I’ll just say it outright because I simply Do Not Care and it upsets me a lot#I cannot overemphasize just how common this is for Dead on Main (Jason/Danny) and it fucking exhausts me#Anger Management was there#it was popular. and then seemingly overnight Dead on Main became popular#y’all. so many fics I’ve seen you could swap Danny to Jazz and it would have been a better scenario because you’re telling me Danny willingl#goes to a library or bookshop to read mid-late teens????? cmon man#and then nearly all of the fics made Jason the big burly tall man and Danny the tiny transmasc twink. I (a trans person) Really Don’t Like#That. sure ship whatever you want to ship and do whatever you want to do. I can still be vocal about my gripes though#guys. stop making Danny a transmasc tiny twink in Dead on Main ships. stop perpetuating that dynamic.#genuinely just self internalize for a second on why you like that dynamic and then reread this main post#i saw other tags that I agree with: Tim Drake also gets slapped with a transmasc sticker because he’s tiny and I hate it I hate it I hate it#the amount of folks who I see make Jason the Big Tall Masculine Man in the dynamic and then headcanon him as Latino is… concerning#like hey homie what are you trying to say#adding onto this later. but I’ve seen so many more transmasc danny fics that are ship fics#it’s so much more common for the headcanon to be a ship fic and it’s just… hey why does he have to be transmasc when romantically paired?#mull that over. there’s other fics where him being trans adds onto the story and is written well but god so many fics I see are just…#“hey why did you make THAT the dynamic?’’ yk?#I’m a flavor of trans and aroace and seeing how much being trans is sexualized and seeing transfems instantly falling into the Dommy Mommy#corner and transmascs into the frail submissive sub corner is Really Upsetting#<== prev tags

The fun thing about picking up a cat from the street is that they know a negative amount of rules and will commit entirely new crimes
