TLDR

Okay I cannot believe I'm about to go off like this, but this has been bothering me for awhile, and it's only making me more spiteful. I have been enjoying the influx of Billford art lately. Amazing, great wonderful. What I have Not been enjoying, is the absolute vitriol the Billdip fans have been getting since the influx of TBOB. I was a billdip shipper for awhile. Hell I was a billdip shipper when I was a Parapines shipper-- I liked shipping Dipper with boys. I was also like 14 or 15 at the time. Obviously, if you follow me now, you'll probably notice what my main ship for Dipper is. I grew out of Billdip, and moved on to Pinescone. I have been shipping Pinescone for 10 years. However, not once did I go around saying "Lol, glad I matured and became a better person and shipped something healthier", nor did I post in the billdip tag, condeming people for a fictional ship! And saying mine was better because it was less problematic.

"I'm really glad people stopped shipping Bill and Dipper together. Bill is a 1000 year old triangle demon, and Dipper is 13--" Stop. Repeat what you just said.

"Bill is 1000 year old triangle--"

Repeat that last word to me. "....triangle?" TRIANGLE! I'm sorry what?! This ship is already completely wild enough. You're getting mad at this fictional age gap-- AND BILL IS A FUCKING SHAPE! A FUCKING SHAPE! This ship was weird from the moment GO! And Billford isn't any better. IT'S STILL A SHIP WITH A FUCKING SHAPE! And you're going to sit on your high horse and look down on the Billdip community. On top of it-- they have an age gap too! Bill is still thousands of years old or whatever-- however long it's been, who knows? And Ford was in his 20s or so when he met Bill. That's still a huge, ridiculous age gap-- that Bill could easily use and manipulate; which he did....and then also caught feelings and became a sad ex, but that's beside the point~ Both of these ships are still insane. And again, the bigger thing I think people are just ignoring about these ships--is that Bill is a TRIANGLE! THREE LINES CONNECTED TOGETHER! And this is the hill you're going to die on? ...Cause apparently it's mine. First of all-- as many people pointed out-- Ford Pines did not exist until the second half of the final season. People couldn't ship Fordbill because there wasn't any Ford to introduce.

"Well, even before Ford, I never shipped Billdip! I always disliked it." ...Okay, that's totally fine. Not everyone needs to like or agree on the same ship. Lord knows there's probably people who don't really care for Pinescone either. There's a lot of popular ships that I can't stand. But I'm don't go into a ship tag I don't like, screaming to a void for self validation. I don't go around mocking other people for ships that they had in 2014-- or even still today! It doesn't matter! I did that when I was a kid-- and then realized that was rude, and it was better to just ignore the ships I didn't like and enjoy the ones that made me happy. And grow a community of kind, like minded friends. And listen, I am all for safe spaces and being able to block things that make you uncomfortable. I am not saying people who find the BillDip ship uncomfortable to be idiots or babies or overly sensitive-- or anything like that. I think if something makes you uncomfortable, that is okay and I think it's perfectly fine to blacklist a tag that you don't want to see. I also think it's imperative that people tag things as accurately as they can so people looking at your work can know if one of your pieces has a thing that they don't like-- and therefore can avoid. What I don't appreciate is the fanhate for this ship that is sprouting up like weeds. You can not like something, you can be disgusted by it (I have my Gravity Falls ships I can not stand, nor do I feel comfortable with), but attacking real people for a FICTIONAL SHIP-- two characters who are drawings on a piece of paper and can not be affected mentally, physically or emotionally by fanwork; who still retain the same shape after everything we put them through-- to the point that you send death threats, or threaten to Doxx, or just harass relentlessly, I have always found that more childish and disgusting. You are causing real world pain to people. Me fucking up Dipper Pines is not going to do anything to him-- because he doesn't actually exist. He's a cartoon character. I could squash him and stretch him in Wonka's taffy machine--- I could throw him mock speed at a wall and watch him explode on impact-- but he still exists. He's not dead; I can pick him up and dust him off, and If I wanted-- I could decide that eh, 'Not a scratch on him'. And I'd be right. Because he is a cartoon character, and I am just a fangirl. I can not change anything about him-- I have no ability to make anything I headcanon canon. And even if I was the original artist-- it doesn't change the fact that Dipper would still be nothing more than a creation. A construct of shapes; he can not be hurt or traumatized in a way that leads to real life consequences-- because he is not real. I am not a cartoon character. My friends are not cartoon characters. Artist and Writers who stay in their lane...are not cartoon characters. If you hurt us...it will linger. It will leave a scar. If you can not tell the difference between Fiction and Reality, then I think maybe media might be too much to handle-- and I think you need to really reevaluate yourself.

And just to vent some other things that i keep seeing that are frustrating: You can't claim the twins are only 13-- and then on August 31st go "Happy 20-something Birthday Mabel and Dipper!" And then proceed to drop a picture of them as adults. Well which is it? Do they age or not? Because Gravity Falls showed them canonically aging. If you think the twins age-- then you can't suddenly turn around and go, 'no you can't ship them-- Dipper is a child!' but you drew him as an adult. So sorry, it looks like you can't draw the twins grown up anymore. You claimed they're 13, so better draw them 13 forever--. Aged up stories and works exist for a reason, especially for a fan who grew up on the series. The characters might have grown up alongside them. It's not unlikely for a person to ship Billdip when Dipper is much older.

And on that note, for people who are like 'well older billdip is fine-- it's just people shipping him during the show that deserve to die.' Okay... and like I said, this rant is coming from a recent influx of Billford shippers spitting on Billdip shippers. You know? The TOXIC Old Man Yaoi!

You're still shipping something that is problematic. You are still shipping something twisted and wrong. And I am not judging you. I am here for this divorced arc. I am thriving. But you can't just pick and choose what is and isn't okay. And let me first off explain; if there is something that personally triggers you about a toxic ship, and you want to avoid that-- again, perfectly understandable. Perfectly reasonable. You are the makers of your content space. And I am not judging anyone for that. I want people to be safe. I want people to have a good time in fandom spaces. I want people to not have to deal with the things that upset them or frighten them, or disgust them. But you can not say one is fine, and one is not. They're both bad! They're both toxic. In real life, these ships would both be charged with serious crimes! And yes, there are some crimes that are worse than others, and if you asked me what I thought was more problematic-- I'd say Billdip-- but both of these ships are extreme, and severe in their problematic content. You are still consuming problematic content. If it's a personal thing, that's fine; avoid it. But don't sit there throwing stones from your glass house.

Toxic DATV defenders when you ask them why they take valid criticism against the game as a personal attack:

more low effort memes

+Mini rant I guess

Look I don't care if you like the game, in fact I'm happy for you because you got your money's worth. Everybody has something they love that someone else hates, and that's fine.

But that doesn't excuse the fact that there are people in this fandom that will go off on you for the tamest criticism imaginable you could have on datv. Because all of a sudden you aren't a "true" dragon age fan if you dislike the game in its entirety, or even just parts of it.

Or worse yet, you get called an alt-right homophobe or something similar for criticizing the game like wtf🫠(we can partially blame all the dumbass "anti-woke" grifters surrounding datv when it got released for that ugh 🙄)

But toxic positivity isn't that much better than the alternative, it's still toxic.

begging some of y'all to do this

[distant-screaming]

so. some of you may know that it is my birthday today. some more of you may also know that @winnysatang is quite possibly the best person to ever exist on this earth. what none of you know yet is that for my birthday gift, fawn made me. covers. for my fics. she'd been planning this for MONTHS. SHE MADE COVERS WITH ART FOR MY FICS. SPECIFICALLY FOR MY WLW TINNGUN AU, WHICH REMAINS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE AUS. WHICH IS JUST. I had to go hunt down a whole box of tissues which should tell you all you need to know.

anyway, this is super important for two reasons. the first and foremost is that, of course, fawn is my absolute favorite person ever and everyone should know how amazing she is. the second reason is this: today is september 24th, exactly 7 days before october. now, some of the longtime mutuals may know this, but every october I participate in both whumptober + flufftober, writing for every day (albeit a little late occasionally, but the spirit is there). so as a way to celebrate both my love for fawn + her work and my excitement for October Writing, I've decided to do a fun little pre-october series. for the next week, I'll post two of my wlw tinngun au fics and write a little blurb about them, along with fawn's artwork. hopefully this'll get people in the mood for some Dee Writing!

To Ren: ‘  i will always love you.  even when you don’t think it’s a possibility,  i am going to love you.  ’

"Y-Yeah? Me too! I'll always love you! Forever and ever and ever!"

He can't help but latch himself onto you; carelessly throwing his arms around your body and pulling you into a warm embrace. He stills for a moment then, clearly ecstatic with having you in his arms and so close to his heart.

It felt right.

It also made everything leading up to this moment worth it. All of his hard work into getting you to notice him — to love him — was finally being recognised, and you were willing to be with him no matter what came between you two.

It felt perfect.

October Update!

Hey everyone!

I know october is happening tomorrow, and I also know that people are gonna be drawing some art for the spooky season, including some horror type art. Both Goretober and Whumptober will be running this month so! Lots of angst and horror stuff from that alone.

I'll be reblogging some of it, so below are some tags to block if you don't wanna see!

tw blood, tw injury, tw horror, tw gore, tw death, and tw medical are all tags I can see myself using. There may be more specific ones too (such as tw mind control, or tw nonhuman for like. werewolf or vampire stuff!) The tw is there so I remember it's a WARNING for what may be present! If you think more tags are needed on a particular post or reblog, please feel free to ask me to add them! I will, of course, be using my standard angst tags as well for everything.

I just wanted to give a heads up. I myself am dropping a ghostly oneshot tomorrow :) I hope those of us that enjoy spooky and horror type works enjoy the month. And for those who don't I hope all of the tagging works and you ALSO enjoy the month! :D

rivren: ‘  if you frequently play with my hair,  i might just fall in love with you.  ’

full pressure but if you do this I'll continue it on the sideblog 😼

"Have you considered going bald, then?"

Despite the harsh words, Ren's hands are soft as they tangle themselves betwixt ocean-coloured tresses. Soft, pliant, and pretty: just like its owner — and a direct contrast to him.

Where Ren was sharp enough to bleed, River was kind enough to mend his wounds. Lonesome like the moon while he shone blindingly bright like the sun. A raging storm sweeping through a halcyon ocean. Two polar opposites of each other that somehow meld together perfectly.

And yet despite it all, Ren could see himself falling in love with River too.

"It'd suit you." His lips ghost against the nape of their neck — a heartbeat away, but never touching. "Maybe bring out the colour of your eyes."

sorry to all my beloved mutuals for all the politicscreaming, i am so fucking tired. and so acutely fucking aware of what a privilege it is to just be tired rather than dying or dead.

and i am so, so angry.

Happy General Conference Weekend!! I am sadly working today so I won't be able to participate in the live blogging until tomorrow, but I hope everyone had a good day and feels spiritually edified. ^-^
