#Cannon Compliant Ships

[capsensislagamoprh]

You can go ahead and blame @ruanek & @blonndiec for this shit. SUCK IT UP, BITCHES!

<3 you all. Party in Ten-Forward!

[rat-rambles]

Ok Alastor shippers of all sorts, I'm going to put in my two cents and before I get into I'm a pro shipper all around just don't be mean to each other and tags are there for a reason.

My credentials: I'm an gray ace, aro person who's been around Fandom a very long time. Personally I've been initiated with the “but al is ace aro so you can't ship him” discourse and first off that's not true both because we can date -I Have a long term Partner- and because I've explored a lot of my queer identity through Fandom and fanfics and I think others should get the chance to do the same. I'm sure a lot of people will learn they’re ace aro because of alastor. That being said ik a lot of you writers out there aren't ace aro and are new to the topic so I'm going to go over some of my personal suggestions of how you could make Canon compliant works. (And if you do any or find any please send to me I'd love to see it)

Oblivious Alastor

Canonically this man doesn't know he's an ace in the hole. And I don't believe an egomaniac like him would assume that there's anything “different” about himself. ik when I was a baby ace I thought everyone was just being dramatic basically before realizing I was the exception. I can see this going 2 ways.

Radiostatic (pre show): vox is obviously completely smitten with al and al sees dating a more powerful overlord as an advantage(which vox in the past was the more powerful of the two). And Al starts getting slowly more and more uncomfortable and vox gets pushy in a very manipulative way.

Radioapple: enemies to friends to lovers? After Al and Luci become close friends, Luci starts to catch feelings for Al and Al agrees to date him seeing as he is fond of him and he's a very powerful ally so why wouldn't Al date him? As the relationship progresses they’re both confused by Alastor's behavior. Luci tries to be respectful. You know maybe he's just very against pda. And al doesnt understand why he's not feeling the things he's meant to.

I can see Al reverse heteronormativity- ing his way into assuming he's gay because he's NOT straight.

Malicious intent

Same as the last one except Al knows he doesn't have feelings for them like that and is trying to be toxic and uses them. IE what if Al was a gold digger actually.

Maybe I am in love?

Al actually thinks that he MUST be feeling a romantic connection because this is the closest he's ever been to someone and once again, gets steadily more confused as he realizes what he and his partner are experiencing is different.

All of these can end in nice queer platonic bliss and I think any story where Al and his partner discover he's ace after establishing the relationship is inherently interesting.

Last note some ace vocabulary

Ace and aro are a spectrum. Typically with ace people they will self identify as either sex positive, sex negative, or sex neutral. With Al it's generally head cannoned that he's sex negative but that's not explicitly Cannon and sex positive and neutral aces are valid.

Sex negative: is self explanatory it's what everyone thinks aces are; I don't want sex ever the idea grosses me out ect.

Sex neutral: is when someone doesn't have the desire for sex but isn't repulsed by it either. If they are in a relationship and their partner wants to have sex they’re open to it but don't expect initiation on their part.

Sex positive: people have a hard time understanding this because it's the seperating of the need for sex from the want. Typically if a sex positive ace were to never have sex again they'd die happy but if they have a willing partner they are happy to participate. It builds intimacy. It feels good, it's nice but it's not the same as being allo and having that cardinal lust.

note: please know what type your head cannoning Al as in your works when writing it, although people of course can change which they feel they align with, it's important to know how he's feeling about it.

I'm not as familiar with aro terminology but like with ace it's more about the drive the need the anguish. Al wouldn’t in cannon crave romantic connection.

Like with ace it's not actually cannon what type of aro he is some aro people are completely repulsed by the idea of romantic relationships or they only like it in theory (which playing around with the idea of Al liking a relationship in theory but not in practice could be a lot of fun.)

The gray romantic umbrella are aro people who can have romantic attraction to some degree. They’re still aro you can head cannon Al as it but please do a little research into which one you think your version of Al would identify with there quite a few so I'll spare the list here.

Demi romantic is when someone can develop romantic attraction for very specific people, very rarely. These people won't be on Bumble but might fall for someone after knowing them for a few years (or an indeterminate amount of time, my timeline was a year and a half I shit you not) a lot of you are looking for that.

As for kink. Lots of queer people especially are into kink because it's intimate, it's physical, it requires trust but it's not actually inherently sexual a lot of the time. And we do know that Al likes torturing and being dominant so yeah he'd be kinky that's completely canon compliant.

At the end of the day Al is ace aro in the show and that's what counts. Have fun be creative, explore the depths of your queer little minds and please be nice to each other.

(and if any of you make works related to this please please please send them to me thanks)

[your-sad-gay-lover]

I'm writing a marauders era cannon compliant fic, I'm curious if anyone is interested in reading it?

It's mainly focused on relationships and the complications of family.

Mainly from Sirius' pov but also Regulus and Lily.

The main ships change as time goes on but mainly wolfstar and jegulus (though flowerpot definitely is also important) it also includes many others.

The real main relationship is between Sirius and Regulus as they grow up and apart.

Theams are definitely darker as there is a lot of descriptions of the black family dynamics.

I'm pretty nervous about posting it.

[magpod-confessions]

This is weird but for some reason when it comes to tma I’ve had a lot of trouble reading specifically jonmartin fics? Like I love the ship, it’s one of my favorites, and I’ve read a couple that I’ve really enjoyed and it’s not because any of them aren’t well written, there are some amazing ones out there, but I’ve always had trouble just finding ones I really enjoy or can stick with? Only recently I realized it was bc I agreed with the cannon assessment that those two just wouldn’t have been compatible had it not been for all the trauma they went through, and these days I can enjoy a lot more fics since I know what I’m looking for, but I just find it funny/weird that tma and jonmartin is the one case where I prefer cannon compliant stuff, especially considering what happens in cannon

.

[ofmossandmen]

This is my blog and I can talk about whatever the hell I want.

I've been hesitant to involve myself in any form of "shipping drama" just becuase that's not the energy I need in my life right now. With that being said, I don't think there is any harm just stating where I stand so...

I do see some ships in the MCSM fandom that I don't like, one in particular has been gaining at least a bit of popularity as of recent. Yeah, I have thoughts and feelings about some of these pairs but you guys...I'm a tax payer, I have a job, I'm studying for a degree, I own a car...I do not have the time or the energy to have this stuff consume me.

In my personal opinion from my experience in fandom...fandom is really just a space for fans to take the characters from media and essentially play with them like barbies. We make our own stories, we create our own interpretations of our characters, and we make relationship dynamics that might not be cannon compliant.

Everyone is sooo hyped about "cannon non- compliant" until you break cannon to ship characters who wouldn't work in cannon. God, I have been in fandoms where Rarepairs who have never/barley interacted were the backbone of the fandom.

It kinda feels like the same ideology that went around with anti selfshippers is making its rounds again but with rareapairs. "That's cringe." "That's not possible in universe." "You're making the fandom worse." Ok...and???

What I'm trying to get at is that yeah, there are gonna be ships that will give you The Ick ™. But at the end of the day, being nasty about how someone else enjoys being in a fandom just...kills the vibe so hard. You are more than welcome to despise a ship to kingdom come, but attacking a group of people for being creative in their own space. Kills. The. Vibe.

[sgraffitobonito]

Getting into a new ship like

*skeptical yet curious*

“oh, you like this pairing? …Alright, you’ve intrigued me”

*5 hours, a non-cannon-compliant fic, and a box of tissues later*

“Damn ok maybe LordSpeedoRat69 has a point”

[atlasdoe]

i don't usually make posts like this but...

THE MARAUDERS SERIES BY PENGIWEN (AKA THE BEST CANNON COMPLIANT MARAUDERS FIC) IS NOW ON AO3

i could talk about this fic for hours it is my favourite thing ever. It's like if The Marauders were produced by the CW but in the best way ever.

It has literally everything you want in a marauders fic and I am telling the truth when i say that. I need everyone to read this fic

The main ships are Jily and Wolfstar

REGULUS STANS YOU WILL LOVE THIS

REGULUS HATERS YOU WILL ALSO PROBABLY LOVE THIS

Also if you love time travel you will also love this fic

Literally ask me anything you need to about this fic and I will answer it. I am about to become the most annoying person ever. Drop me an ask an out anything and i will answer it

The whole fic is about the marauders from their first year to the end of the war (and with flash fowards of seeing the events of the main series from certain characters pov)

pretty much everyone gets a pov at some point it's brilliant

there's literally so much to this fic and now that it's on ao3 you have no excuse. READ IT PLS I BEG

[melodiousmonsters]

Some random sketches of the celestials because I made a majority of them before I developed a crippling minecraft addiction.

I will continue my trend of making super long posts but this one may be a bit shorter as a lot of the information on the celestials is very relevant to the plot of the melodious monster chronicles that I want to turn into a comic or something some day. So I don't want to spoil anything important for obvious reasons. I'm also very unmotivated to write a whole lot so that'll also make it shorter.

As you may notice the celestials look marginally different than their cannon designs. I usually like to keep the little details in my monster designs cannon compliant (I might end up redoing those blow't drawings for that and a few other reasons, I kinda messed with it a bit too much for my own tastes) but in this case I'm not drawing a standard individual of a species, there's only one of each celestial and each one is their own character so I want their designs to reflect their unique personalities and also to better reflect my own tastes. As for them being their own character all of them have their own names that I won't share as they aren't all that important. Also all the celestials have a sibling-like familial relationship because it's cute so there will be no celestial shipping here.

The celestials themselves are pretty much a pure organic form of their element's essence. The elements themselves are energy from the celestial's constellations so the celestial's physical forms are basically the personas of their constellations if you think about it.

The celestials also made the natural and ethereal monsters themselves with no help from the colossals or anything. I wanted to make the celestials more important and be on-par with the colossals in terms of power and influence over the monster world so I made them more responsible for things. I will try to explain how monster species are first made by just copying it from a document I made on how that happens. A lot of context is needed to understand the fundamentals of how my monster world works so some things may not make sense so if something confuses you, uh, idk just guess

"A species of monster is formed by a god manipulating some elemental essence that it’s able to control, then it mixes it with a compatible power element to animate the elemental energy into the lifeforce ( and body in most cases ) of a living sapient creature. The elements making up a true monster's lifeforce determines its species and class. Once a specific elemental “signature” has been associated with a species formed solely from it’s lifeforce, anything else made with that same “signature” will be that species.

The natural and ethereal monsters were created by Galvana with slight assistance from the other celestials when the ethereals were made. With its control over all the elements, Galvana wadded together elemental energy and zapped it to life forming the first single elementals. After a while with just them (and after the other celestials were fully aware of this project) the celestials began trying to mix even more elements together and then bring them to life. Turns out that worked and created unique species. "

My top 5 Crackships

Inspired by my top 5 8 characters thing going around, I want you all to vote on your favorite of my Top 5 Questionable Rare pairs

I will be providing excuses reasoning excuses below the poll, so if you feel like roasting me properly seeing my justifications, do that - or don't!

And remember, they're fictional characters, so it costs nothing to be normal about this and have fun

*Not all of these are controversial, but those that are? watch out!

Excuses:

Zuki:

If you follow me then you know I'm an OG Zutara fan, but on the rare occasions I'm feeling Cannon Compliant, Zuki is my go too ship. This has all to do with the comics, where basically Zuko's only confidant is Suki and you get wild panels of them looking at each other like this:

I was devistated when Korra came out and it seemed like Sokka and Suki didn't last, but if the above is why, then I'll take it.

Stobin:

I am going to get so much flack for this one I think. BUT. Consider: The cannon ships in the show are generally not well written. I like Hopper/Joyce, I like Max/Lucas, but Nancy/Jonathan and especially Mike/Eleven do literally nothing for me, they are so bland. I do see the irony that one of the things that makes Stobin well written is because its one sided on Steve's part because Robin is gay. But their interactions are literally the reason to watch the show if you ask me. Pushing past these excuses though, I just kinda dig the ship. In my head its an open poly situation for certain, but sexuality is so wild and fluid and weird, and Gold Star status is gatekeepy at best anyway, so like, why the fuck not. I had a great aunt who had an open marriage with a gay man, (big beard behavior) and they had kids and did everything together. Its like... Platonic soulmates + if you will. And that's what I want for Stobin. Platonic soulmates + and a big ole polycule surrounding them. Or maybe its just my incoherent bisexual ass talking

(If I could put fan-art with the polycule in it I would but I wouldn't repost someones art like that... so I'm stuck with cannon images)

Zacknei:

No one has played this game. When people think Zack, they either ship Cloud or Aerith, and honestly I ship both those as well (though ClAerTi will always be my top for them). But I love Cissnei. She has big Sydney Sage energy for me, and all of Zack's emotional beats in the second half of the game surround her (...or cloud) not Aerith (just for the record). Also if you join all the fanclubs and work hard you get invited to your own fanclub and I'm pretty sure there's evidence that Cissnei is the president which is hilarious. I just love their interactions and was DEVASTATED at the end. Analytical Girl & PuppyDogHimbo is a beautiful ship dynamic. Also Rick Gomez will always be my Zack Fair VA. I hate the new guy so much (and its not his fault!! Sorry man!)

Aquarella:

So the section is really short. But my god. Cinderella and Aqua have the most chemistry of any character in that game series bar none. I'm including Riku and Sora in this. I'm including Roxas and Axel. Ok, not really this is not the hill I want to die on. BUT. At least in Birth By Sleep, this is the emotional high-point. Aqua taking her hand like a gentleman at a ball? The way Aqua saves Cinderella from getting run over by her demonic carriage??? The way she lovingly protects Cindy's body with hers? Did you see Prince whats his face doing any of that ? NO. And then. If Aqua were a guy everyone would've seen it when this game came out (but I guess gay people weren't invented until 2015 or whatever.

look how devastated Aqua is when Cinderella goes to Charming at the end. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEM.

Sorayla:

I really do like Raylum, but this is a poll on my hot take rare-pairs, not cannon compliance. Let me start off by saying, no, I haven't seen this season yet, it only came out twelve hours ago whats wrong with you? This pair grew on me starting in Season 4 after the time skip. I think it goes along side my preoccupation with tough smart girls and their dumbass golden retriever himbos. They have a nice trajectory, and with Callum going a lil dark and edgy on us recently, I like their banter a lot. Especially in Season 4 I was surprised by them and I crave more adventures with the two of them alone. I don't think it will ever happen, but I like it none the less. They bring a certain... Sokka & Suki vibe to the party that I'm here for.

Anyway, I tag @ebbilayart @retiredficwriter & anyone who decides to do it!

And if no one feels like setting themselves up as a target, that's good too!

[neyney2010]

Help a girl out please?

Does anyone know of a cannon compliant drarry and wolfstar fic where Sirius and Remus dont die? I would also love if theyre both the main ships

Thank you!

[capsensislagamoprh]

So, Netflix... you have the chance to do something really fucking epic right now...

[soup-of-the-daisies]

I think that the mauraders Fandom is annoying as hell sometimes. They act like the have a superiority over other hp fans cause they proudly state they throw cannon in the garbage. They flood every comment section that's not about them so they can talk about Mauraders which is weird considering that they have so much content they don't need more.

With remus it's crazy cause they treat fanon like its cannon and will talk about how he smokes cigarettes and wears doc martens as if he robbed sirius closet. They also refuse to admit remus does any wrong and treat it like a cardinal sin if you mention one of his cannon flaws.

we are annoying 😭 sometimes i get really bad secondhand embarrassment looking at comment sections of like a tiktok about fandom the marauders stans fill the damn thing up to the brim. the comments under a post being like, slightly critical of a characterisation are sometimes okay (provided it reaches the right audience) but if remus/sirius gets disliked? or james/regulus? the homophobia accusations are EVERYWHERE. then the tumblr complaints about “we don’t talk enough about this ship” or “we don’t talk enough about that character”, like they’ve never had the experience of enjoying a rarepair. i don’t frequent marauders twitter (if it all), but i know through the grapevine that it’s one of the worst.

the remus re-characterisation is so intriguing. a specific, really impressive fic that i have not read is partially “to blame” for this, though the author acknowledged that remus’ background was not canon compliant and the changes affected his character, but now it’s treated as canon and he’s snowballed into this cool, suave, snarky and disinterested ‘bad boy’-type who’s so tall he has to bend to fit through doorways and has lots of muscle under his temu t-shirt. i tend to make remus a smoker (mainly because smoking was common for many people in the 70s, 80s and 90s) but by god, that man is NOT cool.

he has many flaws in this characterisation (because he’s, simply put, a humongous and vile asshole to literally everybody, specifically his supposed soulmate sirius) but they’re not treated as flaws—just parts of his cool personality. they make him poc, partially for rep, but then they make him aggressive and harsh. i don’t see why he can’t be poc as well as a shy, fearful, tea-drinking and sweater-wearing dork whose flaws are mainly running away from “problems” and making up issues in his head that he’s terrified of coming true.

bringing up canon in anyway gets rebutted with a “we don’t care about canon because it’s sucks”. which is fine, really, but why are you in the fandom then? these characters (at least by name, and their parents, and their family background and their role in society and maybe their hogwarts house, house house, future deaths, which side of the war they were on, hints of their personality) were canonical. like, i can’t stress this enough—they’re part of canon. at least mentioned in them, sometimes only by last name but sometimes also by their entire name. hogwarts, the magic spells, diagon alley and knockturn alley and gringotts, the invisibility cloak, the families… voldemort and his death eaters, dumbledore and his order, the aurors, that’s ALL the potterverse. they think canon sucks but they still use it. please just… go to a different fandom, maybe? another one with a magic school and society?

[probablynotamimic]

So I got an announcement about the future of The Stars May Not Wait For You But We Will.

Alrighty so- the results of the last two polls ive done have had winners- but both have high percentages of people that don't want me to experiment too far from my original premise. And as a chronic people-pleaser, scared to do anything that might make anyone even a little upset or disappointed, I shall be doing a thing!

"Whats the thing you're doing?"

- Thx for asking! Imma make the fic into a series.

"What?"

"How does that work?"

Okay so the current fic will be winding down, Imma try and end it in a satisfying place in the next few chapters or so. (NOT RESOLVING ALL CHARACTER DRAMA, just getting to a natural stopping point that hopefully feels satisfying if I do my job right.) No new plot points will be introduced during that time, and the Loop part of the main ship wont evolve into anything romantic during this time.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The Next fic I write will be an immediate continuation of this fic's plot. (No I have not decided on a name for fic #2 yet.) "Why do you need to separate it?" The fic has rapidly exceeded the original bounds and my original premise, and as such, I'd like to create a new fic with new tags, relationship tags, and plot. (Just tacking a whole bunch of stuff on that wasn't in my original plan feels a little jarring in my humble opinion.)

This fic #2 will have the following changes:

It will have a new plot/adventure- I've got IDEAS (be afraid)

The fic will still be gen, as the ship isn't the main focus, but the IsaxLoopxSif dynamic will be evolved into a romantic relationship eventually

Head-cannons galore- which is to say, I still want it all to feel more or less seamless with cannon, but I'll be taking far more creative liberties with world-building & such. I just feel calling it cannon compliant at that point would be a bit much :P

Pls let me know if you have any questions in the comments or reblogs, I frequently spew nonsense out of my keyboard and if I confused anybody pls say so!

[resident-gay-bitch]

opinion in Barty/Peter?

Honestly I haven’t read much about them. The most I’ve really heard of them is crack stuff on tik tok.

But I am a multi shipper and love odd little ships and honestly I can see the potential. Like cannon compliant party meeting and getting their flirt on at DE meetings. Like at first Barty is taunting Peter for betraying his friends and taking the piss and stuff but then they get flirty and… you know 👀👀👀

I rate it, on my personal scale of enjoyment, a 6/10! It’s there and I can see it but I probably won’t go out of my way to read it. But who knows!? I could change my mind and love it next week lol.

I’m curious what tumblr thinks of them now because tik tok marauders and tumblr marauders are so vastly different and I’m curious.

[chaifootsteps]

Hi!! Same anon with a foot in the fandom and the shipping servers of hazbin here! (The one who told you about how everyone of the creative side that ISN'T always blowing steam up Dani's ass, HATES HER GUTS). Literally, SO MANY active people in the fandom have her quietly muted. Another fun fact, Husker//dust is actually one of THE MOST DEVISIVE ships in the fandom. Hazbin fandom is sort of broken up into ships. Husker//dust is the loudest but NOT the biggest: just look at AO3: Radio//dust fics: 2,024 Husker//dust fics:  809 

Val//vox: 583 Radio//husk: 504 It's not overwhelmingly more popular than any other ship.

Here is the issue, for as many people that ADORE Husker//dust, it is as many people's ALL TIME NOTP. I can't tell you how many creators i know who have had both the word and tag blocked for years (and have been PISSED the last year how the husker//dust people stopped tagging their ship because they were "sure it was cannon so everyone just has to deal with it."

It isn't just a petty ship war reason, most hazbin fans are very pro multiship. It's the fact that the spindle crew's love of husker//dust lead to all of the fandom's number 1 bullies and bootlickers to hop on that bandwagon. The husker//dust fandom is UNBEARABLE to interact with because it has captured all of the cloutchasers, Viv ass blowers, fandom police and 13 year olds in the greater hazbin fandom and put them in one place. It is single handedly the most toxic section of the Hazbin fandom. By having it blocked people like dani just DISAPPEAR out of your feed. (unless you also follow sto//litz) A lot of creators have had very personal negative interactions with the Husker//dust fandom and it soured the ship for them (even if they were once into it). They used to regularly hop onto other ships' fan art and say "do husker//dust next!" there was an OVERWHELMING wave of fandom harassment in 2020-2021 lead by people with husker//dust bios explaining why all other ships that weren't cha//ggie and husker//dust were problematic and bad (and they did this by harassing some of the BIGGEST artists and writers from other ships. Constantly. In call outs, in the comments of their works, using their ship tags, etc) Tiktok was FULL of videos making fun of all ships but Husker//dust while literally stealing fanart of creators to make fun of their ships. (examples of videos: a HUGE radio//duster's gorgeous ship art over a soundtrack of barfing noises or with cartoon edits of characters like sponge bob pointing at the art and freaking out about how hideous it is)

I see a lot of people upset with the art style of the new show, a lot of people upset about the voice actors, a lot of people upset about the direction of the plot but you'd be surprise how many people are okay with all of that but their ONE straw for dropping the series was 'if husker//dust became cannon or teased and I can't avoid it's fandom anymore on twitter' So tl:dr: promoting one ship after letting the fandom go unchecked and wild for 4 years wasn't the great show promotion they thought it was either. I think they thought it was THE favourite ship of the fandom simply because they are the loudest and most drama prone and because Viv only follows the accounts that idolize her and therefore ship Husker//dust because it was the 'most likely ship to be cannon compliant and GOD FORBID you ship something that isn't cannon or part of Vivzie's grand vison)

Well...shit! Looks like we're about to get Stolitz 2.0

Everyone cross their fingers and pray that the comparison ends exactly there, because if one of these characters extorts sex out of the other, I don't know what we're all going to do.
