Headcanons: Archangels, Angelic Relations & “Brothers”

My personal headcanon is that created angels are beings made of stardust, light, and the spirit of life granted to them by God. The archangels referring to one another as “brothers” is the closest wording that humans chose to use to understand angels on a more human level. It can also interpreted as “brothers in arms”, or fraternity “brothers.” Created Angels are not biologically related to each other. They literally do not function the way humans or any living animal does. Archangels are their own divine beings that transcend humanity.

With that said, I will not ship Lucid with any muses that view him as a sibling. I will not engage/pursue a ship with the archangels or Lucifer unless their mun requests it/is interested in shipping them (again as long as they are not considered siblings)

I’m only addressing Archangels and other created angels because either Lucid is or is not related to them on a familial level, it varies from rp partners and verses. Lucid is not going to be related to any Winners.

A QUICK SHIP PSA

i just need to get this off my chest, especially since this has been biting at me for days. i feel like some of y’all are gonna disagree with me but so be it. just please note: this isn’t really targeted at anything specific, just a general thing i’ve been seeing.

but like. why are we sending death threats and hatemail and general harassment over ships?

first of all, sending death threats and harassment in general is a no-no. even if the death threats aren’t targeted, it’s horrible to be saying this kind of stuff. saying things like:

“[insert ship here] SHIPPERS DIE!” or “[insert ship here] YOU’RE NOT WANTED ON THIS PLANET!”

imagine if those brackets were replaced with your ship. how would you feel?

now, you might be thinking like, “oh it’s just words-“

no.

words hurt. even over the internet to strangers you don’t know. it’s pretty shitty to do that. even if you think you’re being “funny”, you’re not.

and second of all,

YOU DON’T KNOW WHY PEOPLE SHIP WHAT THEY SHIP!

some people may have past trauma and therefore develop an attachment to that ship to comfort them. some people may just find their dynamic intriguing. some people may have completely separate reasons for shipping it!

even if the ships are deemed problematic, even if they aren’t deemed problematic, you still don’t have the right to judge others for their shipping opinions, much less harass them for it. as stated earlier, that’s pretty shitty.

i find it incredibly stupid how people think it’s okay to be so shitty to other people for such a minor thing like a ship on the internet. can we try to spread positivity and be nicer to each other, please?

anyways, that’s it for today. thanks for listening, and let’s try to be better to each other, okay?

[falleri-salvatore]

That's White Rose, like holy shit that is absolutely White Rose. I don't mind the premise or concept of the ship, but the zealots made me gain a visceral reaction against it born from spite.

Again, remember this mantra people: "Shipping is a hobby, not a religion". If you see a ship you don't like, your first instinct should simply be to scroll past it and ignore it, NOT attack people for shipping them.

No im not “grieving” Buddie, do you know how amazing it is to have queer/bisexual men representation in today’s media? Do you know how important it is for all of the community and the younger people watching this? This is a huge milestone and Buck’s sexuality is valid outside of any type of ship. Today we celebrate.

[elainiisms]

this scene was 10x more emotional and romantic than any scene between them and those boys

[freakstrider]

I’ve had to deal with a devastating issue today; and I feel like us Proshippers need to have a conversation really quickly about something very important.

Drawings of real minors in sexual situations should not be created or posted. Ever.

I’ve made that mistake when I was 12, and it still affects me deeply to the point I call myself a CSEM victim because of my stupid and immature decisions. (Actually, if you knew me when I was Destroyalition, you might’ve seen my vent posts about how bad it affected me when I was younger.)

I understand if you’re a selfshipper and want to show your love to your f/o by drawing you guys in romantic situations, but drawings of real kids in those situations are risky. Sexual drawings of that nature are something we should be warning kids not to draw at all. I don’t want anyone else to feel the same pain and grief and anxiety I felt after learning what I drew was harmful and illegal.

Please, be careful. Don’t let adults draw you in sexual situations. Don’t let yourself make a dumb and immature decision. Please stay safe and be careful.

So Minor Proshippers. Listen up. There’s an alternative that is safe to this called creating OC self inserts. Please use those instead to your hearts content. Make sure they don’t look like you though, and please heal.

I just feel like this needs to be specified to the MAXIMUM. I am dearly sorry to everyone who was as immature as I was, and made the same mistake. Take this as a warning, don’t learn the same way I did. Stay safe.

THIS

I’ve been in fandom for over a decade and what OP says goes for ALL ships in ALL fandoms for both shippers and antis:

If you don’t like what you see, just block and/or keep scrolling.

Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. As long as they are properly tagging it so it doesn’t appear in the ship tag, and as long as they’re not calling out any one shipper or a group of shippers in particular and making fun of them (aka bullying), or sending people hate either in person or via anons, then just leave it be.

If the problem you have with a take you come across can be solved by either ignoring the post or blocking the person who posted it, then it is a much better use of your time to just do that instead of replying.

Because more than half of the time antis will post the most unhinged, crazy, outlandish takes that they can think of, with the intent of eliciting a response from the shippers that they can then use to paint them and everyone who ships that particular ship as toxic and rabid for attacking them, the antis, for simply stating their opinion.

It’s bait! Don’t fall for it!

Especially if they don’t tag it as “anti (ship name)” or try to censor the ship name in any way like gr*via, or if they straight up tag it as the ship, then it’s clear that they want shippers to see that post and get upset and go after them for it.

They’re asking for a fight, don’t give it to them!

And screenshotting their posts and reposting them to make fun of them is bad for two reasons:

1) Pictures can not be filtered through muting tags and blocking like blogs and posts can. So people who took steps to avoid seeing anti posts by filtering anti tags and blocking anti blogs, wind up still seeing those upsetting takes on their dash or even in the ship tag too when people post a picture of it without applying the proper filters. So by posting screenshots you’re only giving that hate a wider audience by allowing it to be seen by more people, including people who were taking steps to actively avoid it in the first place because seeing it is upsetting to them. So all you’re doing is making your shipping community a more toxic and negative space by promoting the voices of the haters instead of the amazing content that your fellow shippers are creating to make your shipping community a more positive space.

Fandom is supposed to be an escape for people. Life sucks sometimes! Especially nowadays with so many horrible things going on in the world, a lot of people go into their ship tags hoping to see some content about their ship that will make them smile, and something happy to think about to help them get through the work day, school, or whatever stressful situation that’s upsetting them irl.

So when they go into their ship tag and see posts about people hating on the ship, and negative opinions, it’s only going to make them more upset. Which will only lead to more fights between shippers and antis because someone saw a bad take on a bad day and that caused them to lash out at the person who made that post.

2) Posting a screenshot of someone’s post so that all your friends can point and laugh at it with you and ridicule the person who made it is bullying! You don’t like it when antis take screenshots of your fanart, fanfics, edits, headcanons, and other miscellaneous ship posts and make fun of them with other antis, so why are you doing it to them? Two wrongs don’t make a right! It’s just plain rude no matter who’s doing it!

The only time it is acceptable to post screenshots of someone else’s post is if it was a response either in the tags or a reply to your own post, or if the posts are evidence of someone being problematic in your community and you’re calling them out to make your fellow fans aware of people who could potentially cause them harm.

And by problematic, I mean stuff like homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. that cause real people harm. Not a take on fictional people that you just happened to not care for and are trying to somehow make having that opinion seem just as bad as real life bigotry in order for you to justify attacking someone and kicking them out of the fandom for disagreeing with you on something.

It is never that serious.

Take it from someone who used to get sucked into pointless fandom drama and actively sought out anti posts to fight, your fandom experience is so much better when you focus on the positive parts of it than when you get stuck on the negative.

I feel so much happier in the morning after staying up until 3 am reading fanfic than I ever did staying up until 3 am scrolling through antis posts about my ships.

It’s not healthy at all to seek out things that upset you and fixate on them. Trust me, your mental health will improve drastically when you do everything in your power to avoid things that make you upset and seek out things that make you happy instead.

And I know some of you will say “but making fun of haters is what makes me happy lol”. And so I’ll point out the fact that if your main source of happiness is making others upset by making fun of their posts, then you are a bully. No good person takes joy in making others miserable.

If you wouldn’t like it if someone did it to you, don’t do it to them.

Neither side will ever get the other to change their viewpoints so there’s no point in bullying each other over opinions on fictional characters!

Curate your fandom experience by filtering and blocking to avoid the content that makes you upset, and maximize seeing the content that makes you happy and your fandom will be a far more positive place and you will be so much happier for it. ❤️

I love you guys and gruvia, but I just don't think we need to be like trolling anti-gruvia tags, bothering them in their notes, or even screenshotting their stuff and insulting it, no matter HOW dumb the stuff they say is.

They're allowed to be as vocal as they want on their own blogs, which they use to interact with people who share their feelings and opinions. This has been something I'm seeing a lot lately and. It especially bothers me in instances where they've extended the courtesy of tagging so people who like Gruvia can filter/blacklist, but instead of doing that, certain gruvia shippers are using the tags to actively seek them out and taunt them behind their backs. With the screenshots, you've also taken away their option to deal with their own post in the way that's best for them if it "breaks containment" (unlikely in this fandom, but still).

Gettin a little harassy and mean-spirited, guys. Their opinions are quintessential "anti" opinions and they drive me insane, but let's make our OWN, privacy-respecting posts if we want to talk about that maybe

[profic-robloxian]

HEY KIDS DON'T FUCKING DO THIS

This account just followed me and I am SHOCKED. This is not okay. A minor should NOT be in a "sus and horny" Discord server, and DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT RUN ONE

Report this server if you can. This is dangerous and irresponsible. We cannot let a space like this exist in our community. WE CANNOT LET MINORS INTO NSFW SPACES.

*Do not send hateful messages to OOP. They're doing something horribly wrong, but please remember they are a minor.*

[atwocd]

i'm rewatching the boys to get ready for season 4 and "oh hughie. it's not power. it's punishment. you don't deserve none of it" "what and you do?" no because MY GOD the way both hughie and butcher think they're the fuckest fuck ups ever and hold each other in the HIGHEST REGARD????? like butcher thinks there's nothing redeemable about himself, that he ruins everyone's life, that he deserves to die for all the shit he did and while yes he makes fun of hughie for being weak or whatever he admires hughie's moral compass SO MUCH and he'd be lost without it AND the way hughie thinks he's useless, that he can't protect anyone he loves, that he will never manage to make anything of himself ever and yes, he has issues with butcher's way of doing things sometimes but he admires him for how strong he is and how he gets shit done LIKE!!!!!!! THEY LOVE AND ADMIRE EACH OTHER FOR THE EXACT REASONS THEY HATE THEMSELVES OH I'M GOING INSANE

[antis-delete-your-blogs-pls-thx]

Yeah, this is seriously concerning. I think you guys should block and be aware of someone with this amount of Tumblr reach saying this shit.

This b0gl33ch guy fully intends (and has done already, as you can see) to falsely slander queer abuse survivors (a particularly vulnerable demographic, especially to this type of accusation in the current climate) as pedophiles because of coping/vent fic. He's wished death on us multiple times and stood by it, only to deny it when pushed. Multiple times. Despite the evidence otherwise being right there. He's refusing to listen and moving the goalposts back and forth. When he himself has shared "underage NSFW art" for shits and gigs. Hey, bud, if it's harmful, you "joking" about it doesn't lessen that harm.

Again, he denies his behaviour, despite proof being right there.

I also had someone tell me in private that one of the people collaborating on a project with him has sexually harassed others multiple times in the past, so I worry that he's so convinced the predators must be here that he's oblivious to the ones right next to him.

Every time we point out to him our being queer survivors is relevant to a conversation about a) art censorship and b) coping mechanisms, he just rants that we're saying that to escape being pedophiles. To the point where he's actively erased our identities. So I'm very concerned about how this pedojacketing behaviour is likely not going to stop, even with the demographic he's aiming it at in mind.

Oh, and here:

Same guy who's just SO concerned with the harmful effects of minors potentially seeing "problematic NSFW content" online, to the point he wants to censor survivors (and supported getting one blacklisted from an entire industry, btw. That survivor is now destitute and dying from a medical condition they cannot afford to treat). Apparently he was totally fine with NSFW Velma (from Scooby Doo) art, too, and she's canonically a minor.

quick PSA for any cookie run fans who like my art:

please do not use my past-shadow milk design without permission and especially without credit!!!

my friend just told me about people on tiktok using my blueberry milk cookie design, i went and looked and i found two videos by the same user, one video without credit. please do not do this!!! please ask me first, i know my ask box is closed (ill reopen it after i post this) but my DM's have always been open!!! its a design/character that's become very personal to me, yes i know it's just a concept design for a canon character but it still means a lot to me, and it makes me highly uncomfortable when people do stuff like this.

if you want to use my other art in edits that's okay! but please ask me if you want to use ANY of my designs, not just cookie run, for any reason! this is why i get nervous posting AU designs, because i'm scared stuff like this will happen, and now it has.

and of course PLEASE credit me. why do i even have to say this, it's common courtesy to credit the artists you take art from, but apparently some people don't have enough respect for artists to even do that.

edit: also, just in case i'm being too vague:

fanart is completely fine with me, just please credit me (and tag me because i want to rb it)

also, i'm fine with people taking inspiration from my designs as well. i'm not trying to gatekeep, i just want people to ask me first please.

do people still make redraws of this.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE RAGBROS !!

[mcflymemes]

i feel like people keep interchanging MAINS, EXCLUSIVES, and AFFILIATES and haphazardly using them without really recognizing what they mean, so here's a brief description of the differences.

MAINS are the primary group of roleplay blogs you interact with on a regular basis. you might choose to prioritize them in terms of replies or ask memes, or focus on their dynamics more often than you do others.

EXCLUSIVES are the only version of that character you will write with. as an example, if you add a canon superman or a princess jasmine to your exclusives, it means you will not write with or follow any duplicates of those characters.

** this can also include FACECLAIM EXCLUSIVES, where you won't follow duplicate faceclaims of your favorite blogs. weird example, but if you're writing with a blog using tom hanks as their faceclaim, you might say you're faceclaim exclusive with that blog and refuse to write with or follow any other blogs using tom hanks.

AFFILIATES are blogs with extensive ties to your blog's canon. their characters are weaved into your storyline to such a degree that you cannot separate them from one another. maybe they're your primary or single ship partner. maybe you created the characters together. maybe they're from the same piece of media and you want to establish their significant ties to your muse and their story. this is a step up from exclusives, and their url is often linked in your pinned or placed on your rules page.
