#<- sorry to put this in the ship tag

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

Lol you reblog a post on fandom ignoring racism and then reblog a steddyhands post you are literally who the post is about. Izzy Hands is racist and homophobic and abusive and you ship him with his victims. You are the problem.

oh i don’t actually ship steddyhands! sometimes i’ll reblog fanart tho if the art is good enough and the steddyhands isn’t actually super prevalent. like, the reblog you're referencing is barely shippy. i couldve just tagged it with the characters, but i decided to tag it steddyhands in case any of my followers really don't want to see any content of izzy stede and ed all getting along at ALL

also, if you actually look at the steddyhands tag on my blog, there's only 22 posts. and there are 12,807 posts on this blog in total. so it's not on my blog often, and it's tagged so people who have steddyhands blacklisted don't have to see it

of those 22 posts, 7 of them are fanart, and in 4 of those fanart posts, i say something in the tags about not liking the ship. of the 15 other posts, 9 of them are my own original posts (or posts where the op @'ed me in them) discussing my issues with steddyhands, 2 of them are other people's posts talking about their issues with steddyhands, 3 of them are absolute shitposts talking about steddyhands in homestuck quadrants or a blackhands divorce au where every possible combination of ed/stede/izzy/jack happens, and only one of them is a pro-steddyhands post that i reblogged and said in the tags that i don't ship it

meanwhile, my fandom crit tag, which is where i talk about racism in fandom and reblog other people's posts about racism in fandom, has 449 posts in it. so like, steddyhands is rarely on my blog—and when it is, more often than not it's bc im criticizing it.

also, i don't actually think steddyhands is inherently bad (altho i'll be the first to admit that a LOT of the content made for the ship is incredibly bad). i think steddyhands can actually be done in a way that doesn't prioritize izzy's feelings or excuse his racism and homophobia, and where izzy's character growth isn't ed's problem or burden in any way. so i don't personally feel like the very existence of steddyhands content on my blog puts me at the same level as like, ofmd discord mods who disregard people's complaints about racist content in the fandom because they value "let people have fun, fandom isn't for drama" more than they value making the space safe for fans of color.

the steddyhands on my blog is incredibly sparse, very easy to avoid if you just block the tag, and most importantly, it doesn't excuse izzy's bigotry. i feel like there are a LOT of ofmd fans who contribute way more to the problem than i did by reblogging fanart where ed izzy and stede are getting scared in a haunted house.

chilchuck x laios x senshi is really the best because NO ONE has a good clock on their relationship.

half foots see this total bear dad half foot with two even huskier men.

tall men see this normal looking guy with two completely contrasting bfs.

dwarfs see the most faggot dwarf theyve ever seen in the history of fruitness with two even more fem looking guys.

in reality, senshi and laios are both the 20yo twinks at a gay bar listening to a middle aged divorced man talk about car mechanics and hanging onto every single word he’s saying with heart eyes.

Favorite non j/mart jonship

I am soso curious about this actually. Also I want to think about my favoritest blorbo and make other people think about them also. So here's a poll with some Jonships. Can be platonic or romantic. Choose whichever speaks to you most. (Note: this is favorite jonship ASIDE from j/mart. If that's your fave, pick your second fave here or pick none/no preference please, not other).

No pressure but if you rb w/ tags explaining your choice I will love you forever. Also would appreciate reblogs for a larger sample size.

Edit: I don't think many people are going to see this but if you do and you are part of the 1.2% (at time of edit (6/9/2024, 14:11 EST)) who voted for Jonpeter or Jonmelanie please please tell me your reasoning, not just why you like them but why you chose them over all the other options. I like them too. I won't judge. Please. I want to love them the way you do. I want to understand.

zolu is maybe one of the easiest ships i've ever liked. they're dating, except when they're not, they're best friends even when they're kissing and they're still captain and first mate when they aren't. they hold hands, they hug. they have sex. they don't.

Luffy can hold Zoro's katanas and Zoro can hold Luffy's strawhat and no one bats an eye. one says "You're so cool!" and the other says "You're strong" and it's just another way to say "I see you, this is why I follow you/this is why I trust you". it's not seeing each other for a long time and still knowing how the other's steps sound like against wood and sand. the captain runs and the first mate follows. it's always "Zoro and the others" and "Where's Luffy?"

if they're just friends, if they're something more, if they don't have a label for it, at its core, it's just about how they get each other. they understand how the other's mind works. however you view them, it doesn't erase they fact that they love each other in a way they don't love other people.

sorry but the "trying to get rid of us" part.... like we were here from literally day one. you came into OUR house and decided the show was about something that it's not. also, even if we weren't here from the beginning, we deserve to be here every bit as you do. why are you trying to gatekeep fandom, when it's always been for the freaks. especially on the incest family horror show
