#<- just cuz the og is shipping them

[purpldawne]

self inserts are great. some people have one they use for every media and i love seeing this one specific little guy people choose to represent themselves go on fun adventures and make friends with their favorite characters and fall in love with others. some people have a different insert for every media they ship from or even for every ship they have and that's??? honestly really impressive and cool how so many different things can represent a single person. sometimes they're fantastical and magical and sometimes they're just A Guy™ in Situations™ even if it doesn't really "fit" the media they're an insert for. and some of these designs?? SNAPPED my spine stole my bones yall are so talented

[zuzu-fairys-tail]

i just realized i forgot to add lucys blush...

Anyways i feel as if this fits almost every ft main ship tbh but i chose natsu and lucy cuz the colours are the same as them in the og

[ace-shenanigans]

obsessed with the OG!SQH/SY ship. i am enraptured. obsessed. feral. i gotta ask if you have any more ideas about them?

HELL YEA I DO

- Sy transmigrates as himself/an npc before binghe makes it to cqms, and spends a lot of his time dodging the plot by being a rogue cultivator. Its on one of his plot-avoiding adventures that he runs into og!Shang Qinghua and inevitably gets dragged into the plot (havent decided if airplane joins the world or nah, but if he did then hes obv a different character)

- Sqh originally only keeps Sy around as a source of information to save his own skin and fully intended to drop him at the earliest convenience, unfortunately the wife beam too strong and sqh slowly finds himself feeling protective of this strange man who keeps running head first into dangerous situations for some 'deus ex machina' that'll help them both

- Sqh does think Sy is some kind of seer btw, because how else would he know so much about things he shouldnt? Sy is 100% down to run with that narrative because it lets him get around the system's punishment protocols for revealing too much.

- Sy is ofc not trusting of Sqh at first cuz all he knows about him is the few throw away lines from PIDW, but after he starts to see just how much the man does and deals with Sy does develop a begrudging respect for Sqh

- Sqh keeps Sy on a pretty short leash even after their relationship improves because hes not about to let anyone else get their hands on someone with so much valuable intel, but he does enjoy sicking Sy on both the demons of Mbj/Lbh's court and his own martial siblings (yknow those 'translator' joke videos online where the translator says what the person really means? Thats Sy for Sqh)

- Sy is required to stay mostly quiet about Lbh's whole abyss arc, but he does make sure sqh falls into 'tolerable' terms with the future emperor to avoid the man's scripted end (and if that leads to some mobing content then thats just the way the ball bounces)

- the sect isnt really sure how to handle Sy at first since hes an unknown rogue element, but they eventually find themselves somewhat endeared to the oblivious man thats apparently bonded with the semi-reclusive an ding lord, especially after he 'stumbles' across sqq and lqg in the caves ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[angellwingss]

Wasn’t going to go on a big rant but you know what since that other post is gaining traction yeah I think I will. So big long rant under the cut. Lolll

I feel like. A lot of people might tell me ‘it’s not that deep’ but to me it is that deep.

I don’t have a problem with JayVik or it’s shippers like. At all. I just think some of them are à really good demonstration of like. Every bad thing when it comes to fandom ever LMAO.

Once again I am (supposed to be) writing a whole big long essay about this already so I will try and keep this kind of short and sweet and it might be a bit lacking but wtvr.

I think a lot of JayVik fans tend to be white queer people. Someone left a tag on my OG post that said basically ‘my take is I’m a faggot and I don’t have to care about a character if I don’t want to’ and no hate to that person cuz you’re right, but this is exactly the kind of stuff that made me make that first post.

I feel like a lot of white queer people have an issue with seeing outside their own identity? If that makes sense? This is seen time and time again with the way some of them behave when big movements happen online, some have a tendency to centre themselves and whatnot so i think it’s kind of the same thing.

It makes total sense that a queer person would prefer queer ships and would prefer JayVik over MelJay, that is not a crime. But I do think part of that is because they can’t relate/identify with Mel or see themselves in her like they can with Jayce or Viktor.

I hate to also make it about feminism but i think a lot of you guys are super like. Male centred, like just in your attraction which once again, not the issue not a crime. But i think it’s also why CaitVi, which is a canon queer ship, although popular is still not quite as popular as JayVik despite being canon. Women fetishizing gay men in fandom is not something new, which I think might play a small part in it- I’ve seen a lot of people especially back in s1 infantilizing Viktor and acting like he had no agency or independence and that he NEEDS Jayce to take care of him (that’s another thing. Ableism(looks at you with my eyes)) and they also do the same thing with Jayce where they act like he had 0 agency with any decisions he makes and that he’s like a big dumb baby who doesn’t know anything politics. Hey, guys. That’s a grown man.

My main issue isn’t that people prefer JayVik over MelJay it’s just that some shippers demonize Mel to an insane degree, blame her for getting in the way of their ship (this is also happening right now with Maddie- there’s a leak going around saying that she gets with Caitlyn and people are so upset that this character is getting some INSANE hate and I feel like that’s the same thing going on.)

they blame her for ‘stealing’ Jayce etc etc like. Idk. You don’t have to ship MelJay but I wish more people would appreciate Mel just as a character- imo she is super interesting and has a great story but she’s only ever seen and ‘the other woman’. I’ve seen people say she isn’t like, well characterized and that her story entirely revolves around Jayce which. Yeah she’s definitely heavily involved with him in s1 but she’s clearly got a lot more going on than just that and you would know that if you GAF 🗣️🗣️

for just being. Who she is. I think Mel deserves more attention just in the fandom and it’s just frustrating. People making memes about Jayce going insane over Viktor leaving but like. Mel also just got fucking kidnapped guys. His lover has just vanished without a trace why is nobody also talking about that !!!! Why can’t he care about both these people at the same time !!!!!!!

Anyway I’m not nearly well equipped enough to talk more in-depth about like. Any of this but I do think the demonization of Mel and refusal to see her relationship with Jayce as it is can often times be boiled down to racism like straight up. And also things like the fetishization of gay men in fandom and just things like that are sometimes what can lead to female characters- even the well written ones to be shelved and pushed aside in favour of their male counterparts.

Obligatory ‘not all JayVik fans’ obviously a lot of you are awesome, shouldn’t have to say this. If I’m not aiming for you, you shouldn’t be getting shot.

[necroromantics]

Friendly reminder to do what makes you happy. Create cringe OCs, indulge in fanon, make AUs and fun joyous stories, crackships and whatever the fuck else you want to.

Do what makes YOU happy and never let anyone take that away from you. Never let someone box you in, never let someone tell you what you can and cant create cuz of their own judgements and internalized shame.

This fandom is full of a lot of young people just trying to enjoy themselves, and even adults who just find interest in something. Read Jeff The Killers (Woods) OG story. Read Ninas, Janes, Tobys, etc, and then come to me and tell me that wasnt just some dumb kids trying to have fun.

Go watch Marble Hornets, go read up on Slendermans creation. ALL of it was just some random ass people online wanting to CREATE something because they thought it was fun. It made them happy.

Do it bad. Do it cringe. Do it ugly. Who the fuck cares. If it makes you happy, do it. The only thing that ever matters in life is creating things that bring you joy. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise, please. There are no rules, there are no right or wrong ways to create, there is no punishment for making "cringe" or "bad" art, but there is punishment to the soul for neglecting your natural desire to create

And if you shame people for being happy and indulging in OCs, AUs, stories, ships, whatever, that they enjoy, if you shame people for creating art, block me. My account holds no space for that kind of negativity. Thank you

Here's a clearer version of the Hermit Falls Zodiac (+ the og Journal Page)

Here's everyone's roles in the au:

Sunbeam & Cresent Moon: Grian & Pearl (Dipper & Mabel) - twins of divorced parents who were sent to a Nowhere town for autumn break to reconnect after being separated. Currently living with their great uncle Scar. When Grian finds a strange journal in the woods he and Pearl become obsessed with uncovering the secrets of this town. Ps, Tilly is Waddles :3

Top Hat: Scar (Stan) - the twins Grunkle and the proprietor of Trader Scars: The House Of Wonders!, a local tourist trap. He seems to spend a lot of time in the basement.

Lowercase i: Impulse (Soos) - local handyman at Trader Scars, father figure for the twins.

Cool S: Skizz (Wendy) - cashier at Trader Scars, generally laid back but will deck you if you hurt his friends

Rocket Ship: Cub (Ford) - genius scientist who lived in Hermit Falls decades ago, Scar says he jumped towns and left the Trader Scars building to him, but no one's heard from him since

Fancy Mustache: Mumbo (McGucket) - local mad inventor living in the junkyard. Insists his name is "Big Ron" Cub always looked guilty when he saw him…

Gemstone: Gem (Pacifica) - daughter of a rich family staying in Hermit Falls on a business trip. gets bored and decides to have a rivalry with Pearl. Just cuz

Old Skull: Cleo (Robbie) - local artist and mortician. Sorta tried to kill Pearl on her first week in Hermit Falls. Tensions were high between them and Grian after that

@ Symbol: Joe Hills (Gidion) - owner of a rival tourist trap: Joe Hills’ Tent O’ Magic, where he puts on dazzling acts of poetry, music, Puppet shows and magic tricks. Everyone seems to like him, but Scar doesn't trust him

Joel (Bill) - interdimensional Demon watching over Gravity Falls. Burt his home dimension to the ground. Still hears her his friends in the back of his mind. Why did he do it?

Will I continue this? Maybe? I'm busy atm but I like the concept. I've sketched some designs but nothing I'm super happy with so far.

Ps If any of yall can come up with a surname that fits Pearl, Grian & Scar (maybe Cub two not devided if him and Scar are brothers yet) that would be cool ;)

Also, well done to @harley-the-pancake & @octopus-defence-squad at correctly decoding almost everything! I'd give you cookies if I could

[1tsstargaze59]

OK SO I LOVE HIM 💜🍇

Here's Beachside!Fear aka YA BOI FINN ft. Ariel

You are now obligated to love him ✋️🫵👉❤️‍🔥

Reposting Ari's artwork for anyone who hasn't seen it cuz she's gorgeous 🧡🍊✨️

Continuing my anxifear agenda hehehehehe

Their ship name in this AU is Sassy Sangria ❤️ I will specify that they aren't canonically dating in this au (yet-), I just like shipping them in everything (almost) XD

OG Beachside!AU post for more context & info!

Explaining all my design logic under the cut :p

Finn~💕 Lowkey in love with him XD His design is a bartender uniform with inspo from the Fear human designs of @marishach and @eechytooru mainly (becuz they always draw him hot and that's kinda the point of this AU, we are on a beach and everyone's attractive! XD)

For his casual outfit, I'm taking inspo from early 2000s fashion as well as Daisuke from the game mouthwashing XD mainly for his Hawaiian shirt deal lol and the hibiscus 🌺 Also! Dionysius! Finn's fruit are grapes and he's a bartender, so Dionysius inspo makes a lot of sense. He definitely dressed up as Dionysius for Halloween lol

ALSO HIS HAIR AHOGE DOOHICKY IS INSPIRED BY CHOCO BALL COOKIE SO HES BRAZILIAN CODED BYE-

[demaparbat-hp]

I’m sorry, but don’t you feel bad for your fav ship cuz’ like, a lotta Zutara fans are obnoxious and hate Aang and Mai for no reason. It just, kinda ruins your ship and makes it one of most hated ships in the fandom cuz’ of them. You’re the one of the few sane Zutara fans and I’m proud of you. Stay this way through your entire journey.

Oh! Thanks! I, uh, I'm glad you believe me sane 🤭

Honestly, there are terrible people in every fandom, but those are just a loud, small minority. Most of us are just here to share our love for these characters and their world.

The ZK fandom is, sadly, very well versed in ship wars and fandom hate and...well, we all know about it.

That being said—I don't let fandom wars or toxic behaviour from fans on any "side" dictate how I enjoy the og series or ZK.

People have vastly different takes on ATLA. Some may not like Aang as a character, or Mai, or Katara, or Zuko, or Sokka—and that's okay! We all have our own ideas and our own ways to interact with canon and the Fandom.

But things get out of hand when someone sends you death threats using anonymous asks, or calls you horrible slurs, simply because you enjoy something (I am talking through personal experience here).

I support discourse. I support metas and takes and headcanons. I support those who say "Well, I understand why you like this couple/character, and I respect that, but I don't like them because..."

And that's the thing that's sometimes missing—respect.

I know what my stance is regarding ZK, and Kataang, and Maiko, and this senseless hostility. And I will always defend it, but that doesn't mean baseless insults need to be part of my vocabulary.

I can't tell anyone how to engage with fandom—and I'm not trying to! These are my own personal views on this matter, and I hope everyone understands the intention and meaning behind them.

[wormedrabidnerd]

I promised I wouldn't drink anymore, but I'm missing OG F&C Gumlee toxic yaoi like a mf.

Ok, but being serious...I miss them and their dynamic so much.

I miss them being jerks to each other (mostly Marshall) and having this unresolved tension cuz they weren't close enough to be friends but they 100% liked each other despite being complete strangers to each other.

These motherfuckers hated each other while thinking about each other all the time and that's the seasoning that made me like their ship. I WAS IN THE TRENCHES SHIPPING THESE TWO AT THE RIPE AGE OF 10!

Look at this shit, man...

They were interesting because they weren't like Marceline and Bubblegum who already had a previous relationship at the time, these two weren't even in friendly terms, they couldn't even see each other!

I was rooting for them to communicate and build the shit outta that relationship, but now we have a "perfect" relationship that was just rushed, honestly.

After all this time my feelings past the autistic hyperfixiation had settled down a little and I'm now able to pinpoint some things I didn't really like about the series.

And please don't get me wrong, I love the current Gumlee and how they make my king visibly black like they should, but it just isn't the same. It was rushed by a damn platform that only cares about producing rushed content and nothing else. I miss how the magical aspect of their world played a part in how they interacted with each other, all of them!

Speaking of, that's something I miss too and wished was different in the series: the lack of magic and the "get real" lesson they give us. What if I don't want to get real? What if I want more magical adventures??? I have enough with life already, I want some escapism! I'm sure there's a way of doing that without it being Finn, Jake, Marceline and Bonnibel all over again.

I wanted more of this:

Y'all have no idea how much the background-characterification of Ice Queen hit me, man. They really took away her own backstory, her swag and ambitions just to simplify it, use her as background character and make her a Simon clone/variant and I honestly hate it. She was supposed to be unique in her own way, just like the rest of the gang and now they're confused as their counterparts even more than before.

I just hope season 2 gives us magic again somehow, but it sounds so unlikely :(

[seeking-elsewhither]

me watching the phantom menace be like:

IT'S A SASSY PADA-OBIIIII

Oh Asla— I mean Master Qui-Gon Jinn, a pleasure to make your acquaintance at last

eheheheh Qui-Gon and Padme constantly bickering is so dad and daughter of them ngl

why did nobody warn me I was gonna lowkey ship Qui-Gon and Shmi??? I am NOT a shipper why am I shipping these two hWAT—

sneefle, not Qui-Gon lifting Anakin into his pod ;-;

oh Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon banter I am HERE FOR IT

cri because *swipes my sleeve under my nose* because because in the council scene and and it's like like the prodigal son with obi wan and anakin but it looks and sounds like qui gon's gonna replace obi wan and obi wan's jus tryna be the best and goodest padawan and student and follow to the letter

and obi wan coulda just stood by and let the council dunk on qui gon but he stepped up and told em he could do it he could be a jedi knight

and he questions his master and his master takes it all in stride and he feels bad and apologizes to his master later

and he doesn hate anakin even if he should because he's sorta like a replacement (though qui gon just saw his two prentices) but he doesn hate anakin and he still loves his new little brother-sorry-fellow-padawan even though he has every right to hate him because

because that's obi wan - a kind man, a good man, true and brave, who tries so so hard and so so much and hopes he'll be noticed and he's gentle-spirited and dear and

sobs because he's just like meeeee

I have a thing for brothers where the elder very clearly loves the younger despite it all — Boromir and Faramir, Thor and Loki, Hunter and Crosshair, Peter and Edmund, Savage and Maul, Obi-Wan and Anakin

And the beautiful thing about all of them? All those younger brothers love their elder brothers too. Maybe you don't see it in their faces or their deeds or their words — until, until, until you do

and it, it breaks me every time, because they love each other so so very dearly and truly, but neither believe so. they each always think the love is solely on his end, only I love him in our relationship, he doesn't feel the same way, but that's okay, it's okay, if the love isn't returned, if he doesn't feel as I do, I'll still love him, even if he never loves me back, even if he hates me, even if he cuts himself off, even if the world ends, even in my grave, even if he tears me to pieces and breaks my heart a billion times, I'll still love him

*wipes face* wow so uhhhh I just sobbed over that I'm good

oh also, MAUL

or should I say SMAUL did you see how littol he looked next to the neimoidians?

I like how when Qui Gon and Maul are separated by a ray shield, Qui Gon decides to calm down while Maul paces - it's like staring at contrasts, Jedi and Sith, Light and Dark, Patience and Impatience

audibly squealed when Maul came on-screen because omg hiii doomed brother no. 972428

I still can't believe I ended up liking Maul this much. always knew he was an interesting character, and the phantom menace does well to establish him, but tcw fleshes him out— I mean, not, not literally, cuz he's half, half metal— anyways they made him a pretty intriguing character and that's impressive

oh look a young sheev— PLEASE LET ME SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE IT WOULD FIX SO MUCH IN THE GALAXY I BEG YOU

NO QUI-GON

NOT ONE OF THE OG SPACE DADS NOOOOO

sobs Obi Wan ever so kindly assuring Anakin that he'd look after him

[diathadevil]

The way Taiga and Ryuuji realize the culmination of their relationship and the feelings they have to one another, the growth they show during a very dramatic fight with their family, just... Taiga finally believing in herself and in Ryuuji's love for her.

Sorry y'all I am a weak bitch to these friendship to lovers tropes.

I am not immune to the last three episodes of Toradora and I WILL rewatch them every few years or so.

[ace-shenanigans]

What do you think about the other SVSSS characters? Are there any others you like besides Shen Jiu?

Thoughts under the read more cuz this gets wordy, and im only doin the characters i think about the most (sy, airplane, lqg, lbh, yqy)

I have many thoughts about them and i def have my faves besides SJ, but he scratches my brain in a particular way I cant really explain.

Shen Yuan is an interesting main character, his status as 'most unreliable narrator' presents the story in a way that makes it both entertaining and infuriating to read. His views on himself and the world around him are so skewed by his late transmigration and deliberate emotional obtuseness, and I wonder how different things wouldve been if hed been born into the world like airplane. I like his relationships with the other characters, especially liu qingge and his own disciples, but im not really a big fan of bingqiu (blasphemy i know) Cute ship just not really my thing.

Speakin of airplane, hes another one thats fascinating to see. Hes so much more competent than he lets on but even he seems under the impression hes not all that great, which begs the question of how much of his first life trauma persisted into his second. Its a shame we dont really get to see him shine all that much, but hes a very entertaining second lead. That said, hes not really one of my faves (double blasphemy, burn the heretic), but i do like the fanart of him

Liu Qingge was my favorite character originally, i like his bluntness and his relationships with both versions of shen qingqiu. Enemies to friends (to lovers) is a trope im weak to, as is the miscommunication trope when its done correctly. His dedication to the sect and his devotion to sy!sqq is so fun to explore, especially as a liushen shipper. I wish we got to see more of his misgivings with the og goods get addressed, such as the brothel visits for example, but that might just be me wanting more sj!sqq content lmao

Luo binghe is a neat character, and a decent story driver. I love how his svsss and pidw versions are both so similar in some regards, and yet are notably very different characters all the same. Bingmei being more open about his insecurities because he has a genuinely safe space to talk about them is a cool contrast to bingge, who likely has to be somewhat on guard 24/7 even with his most trusted wives because of the nature of pidw's world building. His interactions with sy!sqq, lqg, nyy, and mf are all fun to explore as well, especially in how they differ from what sy originally expected. I also appreciate how absolutely unhinged he can be, and the degradation of his mental state throughout the books because of xin mo, sy!sqq's mixed messages, and his own attempts of self harm by regularly trashing his dreamscape is written so well.

I could make a whole separate post about Yue qingyuan, the things i love and hate about his character, and the tragic nature of his relationship with both sqqs, but then we'd be here all night lmao. Outside of SJ, hes my favorite character in the whole series. Hes such a tragic figure that does so little yet so much for the story, and I wish we had gotten more of his story in the extras like we did for SJ.

[dllamarama]

YAASSSS YAASSS YAAAASSSSSSS

yep i had to scream for that whole episode. questionable choice of plot to keep the story moving and to make hee joo fell from the cliff. i mean of course it is cute to see baek sa eon being obvious with wanting to be with hee joo.... but dude you're married and your team didn't know that she is actually your wife. i would definitely turn head with your affection for hee joo if i didn't know she's your wife.

i really like how baek sa eon who was unable to tell his feelings to hee joo got a medium through 406 to convey his sincerity. he can never do that without 406 and him knowing that hee joo is on the other side is comforting to him in a way that he is indirectly confessing to her. he was so guarded with his heart. he never make an effort because he was always ready to let her go. because he thought that this marriage was not something that hee joo wants. but since it isn't that way anymore, he is now able to do just what his heart wants. he likes her...

omaigad the amount of OG kdrama plot in this drama is just *chef's kiss* just how it was when i first watch kdrama 20 years ago. just that in WTPR they toned down the ML that makes it less controversial that how it was before. you haven't seen OG kdrama if you say that baek sa eon is a walking red flag cuz I've seen worse. so personally i thought that it is nice to see this kind of drama make a come back again. not to mention that the married couple plot is back again. Full House, Princess Hours, Wedding, Something About 1% was some of my favourite OG kdrama and i always love seing how the misunderstanding in those dramas were what keeping me at the edge of the seat. the angst, the pain, the plain stupidity, the pride and ego, the realising they love their partner so much that they don't know how to rectify their mistake. i miss those... of couse slice of life and romcom kdrama are great too, but i wanted heated arguments, heartache and angsttt more angstttt just to feel like slapping the main leads because they are too stoopid.

and finallyyyy at the end of the year we got the comeback. we almost had it with Queen of Tears but park ji eun was too obsessed of making a dramatic useless multiple much un-needed plot twist until it turns into rubbish. the only good thing that drama give me was Kim Soohyun and Kim Jiwon chemistry yes I'm shipping them forever other than that it was a disappointment.

i hope that WTPR won't dissapoint me as well. i was hoping the 12 eps will do the drama justice if the kdrama writer have lost the ability to create a decent drama with 16 eps. if you can't sustain the plot just shorten and make it concise and actually i like 12 eps kdrama
