every winter solstice I am consumed with thoughts of Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost...

*nodding head while pondering the tags* okay I’ll be real I really wasn’t expecting anyone to express interest in reviving gda ask blogs ( not that I’m complaining, that is my number one special interest right there ) so I ended up leaning into the horror OC group angle and have been working on fleshing that out—I’m still starting a gda community of course ( will reblog this again when I do ), my attention will just be divided between the two

But what if I created a gay dessert anime community. Would you all ask blog with me again

actually I know I mentioned a horror oc ask blog group idea a while back, but then never got around to really writing out the idea for it ao that folks could join—might do that

But what if I created a gay dessert anime community. Would you all ask blog with me again

actually I’m just imagining crown clown living up to the namesake, clowning around like a silly little jester, but in the most inconveniently life threatening ( what happened in the ark arc with tyki ) and painful ( phantom thief g arc ) manner for it’s accommodator as possible

been rewatching some episodes of dgm, and I’ll be real I do find something kinda funny in the fact that, so far, each time Allen has managed to get a hit on a noah with his sword, rather than leaving them totally human like he first said it would, it instead backfired on him and made the situation much much worse

Allen: this is my sword of exorcism, capable of cleansing the noah from a person without harming the human side of them

Crown Clown, on two separate occasions in a row: you sure about that

perliculture is so advanced. i thought those fun-shaped “freshwater” coin pearls were fakes or cut to shape but they really get mussels to grow these

some look messier than others with thicker nacre but even the neat ones occasionally have nacre bumps.

i need to know... why do you proship? this isn't a hate ask, or anything meant to belittle you. i genuinely need to know. im curious and it's eating away at me. for context, i don't proship. not at all. i need to know. i'm so scared that i might be one of you

"I'm scared I might be one of you."

My god. Anon, I'm so sorry for whatever hate and misinformation you've been exposed to that has left you thinking this way.

Firstly, to summarize—pro-shipping is merely the belief in the freedom of fictional creation. That's it. While it does broadly encompass subjects like rape, incest, ect, it is both more complex and more simple than that.

You do not have to engage with, enjoy or be involved with any content you do not enjoy or agree with as a proshipper. You simply need to recognise it has a right to exist regardless of your personal feelings, and that the author has a right to create it.

E.g; you may not agree with incest, but you're also not going to go around harassing the people who write it and campaigning to get them to remove it. You just block it and pretend it doesn't exist. If content makes you uncomfortable, you just don't get involved with it or the people who create it.

I always say that 'proship' should actually just fully adopt the label 'profiction' because it now encompasses far more than just shipping.

It doesn't specifically have to relate to sexualised things, either. There are people who disagree with depictions of domestic abuse in media, power imbalance relationships, drug use, alcohol use, ect. Proshippers, even if they're not interested in that content, recognise it has values and existential rights.

You can be a proshipper and never even write or engage with smut. I know plenty of proshippers who exclusively create non-sexual content. I know plenty of proshippers who do but also don't create content with topics like rape, pedophilia, monsterfucking, ect.

As a personal example; genderbending gay ships into heterosexual ships always grinds my gears. I hate it. If I could, I'd wipe it from the face of the earth.

But.

People have the creative freedom and right to do it. Its not my business. I just block every tag imaginable, block creators who focus on it, and scroll the fuck on whenever it does happen to slip through the cracks like an unplugged load. Its not my place, my right or ethical to harass anyone over it. I don't have any authority to tell them to stop. I make what I like in my little corner, they make what they like in their's.

And that's the gist of it. It can go into a lot of depth when you bring things like censorship, art history and copyright into it, but we can skip that for now.
