#I don’t ship them but idc if you interpret this as ship

[xxmisukii]

Oh boy…. being a Jayvik shipper is hard (especially on twitter)

I can understand if people see them as platonic, romantic,… but brothers? When I and my sister heard that ppl see them as brothers, we looked at each other with disgust (we’re not the only one). And everytime I see post on tik tok or twitter that is aimed for shippers, there is ALWAYS at least one comment that says “oh but they’re like brothers” (if u see them like that, then ok it’s your opinion idc, but if you proceed to argue about it NON STOP with the shippers, calling them stupid and delusional, then something’s wrong with you, if you can’t even respect someone’s opinion)

AND they always use these same arguments whenever they can:

Argument numero uno: “but Jayce said he’s like his brother”

like yeah we get it, he said it, but what was the last time he called him that ? In season 1.

He stopped calling him that after.

(And it happens in real life too, you can change how you see someone after some time)

Number 2 “but writters said they aren’t canon”

when did they said that? (I’m genuinely asking)

and so what? it’s not illegal to ship characters even when the creators says it’s not canon. go argue about it with some animators, music creators, voice actors,… because they ship it too (btw same thing happened with Luca)

Also did they forgot about concept of “shipping”?? it doesn’t matter if they end up together or not. Ppl shipped Elsa and Jack Frost, FFS

If Jayvik was heterosexual pair, no one would fvcking deny it, everyone would say that they’re romantic and more than friends (I know this argument is used a lot, but it’s the reality)

Argument number 3: “Men nowadays can’t be just friends”

Yeah sure, but girls and boys always have to be something more than friends, right?

(The homophobia is loud)

The reason why many ppl ship it, is because they have good chemistry, dynamic, lore, etc. and not because they’re both dudes

If the creators want them to be just a friends, then they should interpret in the show more

If you can’t live with the fact that ppl ship two male characters, then don’t interact, easy

(Anyway this is all, sorry about this long rant, but I’m tired hearing the same things EVERY.DAMN.TIME😀 these ppl make me feel like shi sometimes)

[lucyskywalker]

I’m actually very curious to know why you don’t like jonsa! my reasons for example are: their fandom is acting way too insane for a ship that never happened and won’t ever happen; kit harington is unfortunately ugly. what are yours?

There are so many reasons that I dont even know how to begin with.

Alright. Let's go.

1st reason: It is only solely based on the show, and I really mean that. When you get to read metas and posts surrounding the ship, u realize these people never opened the books, while traying to pretend they did. I'm not being entitled. It is just obvious with what they write. Everything is taken out of contest. Especially surrounding Jon's pov and his lack of relationship with Sansa.

+ I despise the show. The only good thing about D&D's creations were the Dragons CGI and the dothraki and valyrian language, and it ends there. Out of it, everything sucks. They have rewrote all the female character in such a sexist and ridiculous way that I can't even start explaining for you.

2nd. I ship jonrya. Ik it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do. And no. Idc if they become canon or not. I like the concept. I love their relationship. And I love what they can become. Now why the fact I ship Jonrya actually matters? Well, specially after season 7, a lot of Jonsa fans started taking things from Jon PIV that were about his love for Arya, and make it be about Sansa, with ridiculous excuses for their takes. The most commun and easy example being "What do you know of my heart, priestess? What do you know of my sister?" When Jon asks Melissandre, he is referring to Arya. And no. It is not a different interpretation. It is about Arya he is talking about. Another one was "Would you bed your sister?" And Again Jon thinks about Arya, but when you read Jonsa's metas; they say he is thinking about Sansa. Another common Jonsa take is that Jon died for his men in the books, or for Sansa, when again, this is not the case. He died for Arya. And that is explicit on the text with no room for other interpretation. No wonder why the last thing he tought was about her.

Jonsas straigh up lie about what happens in the books to support their takes, or they just read metas here on tumblr and believe it. Idk and neither do I wish to know.

Not only that. They started behaving as they had a moral high ground over jonerys and jonryas... when they don't, it is still incestuos and still problematic to modern standards - not only that, they behave entitled to this day, and attack Jonrya shippers and Jonerys shippers in a real coward way.

Many, many times, I received anon hate telling me to *kms*, slit my wrists. Someone even wished for me to get raped over a fictional ship.

My disdain over the ship is not only with the ship itself, hence taking a lot of Jon's dynamic and bound with Arya to give it to Sansa, which is really important in both of their stories and arc, but mostly about the fandom, and how I was affected by it. If it was treated only like a crackship (what book wise, actually is), as my beloved hitsukarin from bleach, I would have no problem with it.

But the community is far one of the most toxic ones I have ever seen or been in contact with. Actually, dealing with them heavily impacted my mental health.

3rd. I really didnt like Sansa way before dealing with the fandom. Since my favorite is Arya, the way Sansa treated her never vibed with me. (And no. It isn't normal sibling behavior. I am an older sister. I would never do half of the things Sansa have done, not even on 11). After book 1, I felt pity for her, but she still was the last interesting character for me, even if her Vale story was.... I guess, more berable.

After getting into the fandom, tho, Jonsas and Stansas ruined Sansa for me in every possible way as well to the point I read her chapters and I won't feel any kind of enjoyment in her journey or her character. She is my least liked character, not because "she is the most horrible person in the books" (she is not. She is far from being that. ) but because her fans made me feel terribly bitter about her. It is not logical or fair, but again, I'm not trying to be.

[sinkingwmyships]

my avenday / sunturine ship chart!! template here, thank you for making it 🩵

i guess this is less in general and more in relations to my emotional regulation series? (kinda… vaguely canon-compliant AU where they help each other, well, regulate their emotions, via kinky segs among other means 🫣) i was j very into their dynamic in that series at that time. but this also just contains a number of hcs i have for them, that idt changes too much in b/w AUs anw.

enjoy~

typed text below cut (bc who knows how legible my handwriting actly is); may contain some extra notes/thoughts i wasn’t able to squeeze into the chart (will be in [ ] )

Stupid Ass Ship Chart

General info

Sunday Oak

sexuality: unclear/never explored, but if i have to: gay [lowkey tempted to just say “humanity”(/pan)… like bro def thought it’s normal to love everybody both ways (platonic & romantic) until Robin came out to him and he was like, “why do you hate men?” - R: “i don’t hate men i’m just not attracted to them that way” - S: “what ‘way’ there is only one ‘way’… no?” - R: “… brother imma hold your hand while i say this”]

gender: cis male

Aventurine/Kakavasha

sexuality: gay

gender: cis male

Ship name:

sunavenday 🔄

Ages + difference:

Sunday: late 20s

Aven: irdk

2 years apart max

Heights + difference:

idk [and idc for height difference so i just never think abt it], but Sunday feels slightly taller

Describe their vibe:

emotional hurt/comfort; rivals to lovers; slow burn

very protective of each other; try to out-spoil one another [cmon they can both easily be sugar daddies]

Scale ratings

[i’ll let u look at the image for my ratings, but here are the ones i wrote notes for]

Aggressively romantic ↔️ allergic to PDA:

Aven: fluctuates depending on his mood

(Severely) mentally ill ↔️ mentally stable:

Aven: he’s working on it ywy

Big spoon ↔️ little spoon:

Sunday: doesn’t mind [either]

Aven: if he does agree to spoon, he’d prefer little

The weapon ↔️ the wielder:

i think both of them can be both depending on the situation [ie. neither would mind being the other’s weapon, and both would trust himself and the other to trust him to be the wielder]

Functional ↔️ soggy loser: [i think this is meant to be in shippy terms but i interpreted it in general life terms as well]

Aven: some days [are harder for him] than others

Short answer

What brings them together?

eventual trust, mutual understanding, mutual interest -> feelings

Sunday: too pent up for too long

Aven: i mean… he calls Sun “the most handsome man in Penacony” for a reason ;)

What’s keeping them apart?

Aven doesn’t trust Sun is genuinely into him; Sun can’t believe he pulled such a baddie and is afraid any advances would scare Aven away.

Poorly describe their meet-cute:

One is in a sticky situation and the other happens to be available to help him out.

List their reductive fandom tropes/their ship appeal:

Hot man x2 🤷 (or babygirl x2 tbh)

“The most handsome man—“ ok we get it

(popular interpretation) “why is he YOUR man but MY narrative foil?”

[update: i think toxic yaoi is also one of them…? 😭 it’s not an appeal for me but a lot of ppl mention it when they talk abt sunven]

Who’s the armrest?

Aven (both tbh)

Who’s the headrest?

Sunday [unfortunately his halo may skewer Aven if Aven is the headrest i think]

Who fell first?

Aven (but i think around same time)

Who fell harder?

Sunday

Who cooks?

Aven (more skilled + doesn’t mind it)

Who cleans up more messes?

Aven for literal ones; Sun for work/publicity-related [ie figurative] ones

Who’s the bigger yearner?

Sunday

Who confesses first?

Aven

Touch?

Sunday: most places ok (he’ll just get a bit bashful) except halo is a ‘do not’ and he’s finicky w his hands. wings are ok but sometimes will make him react bc the touch is unfamiliar [ie he’s not used to being touched there]

Aven: doesn’t associate touch w pleasantness, prefers a warning. especially enforces this rule w his partner imo. but once he gives permission then it’s ok. has to use hands [ie desensitize his hands to touch] for social interactions (eg handshakes)

[herondalegfsblog]

My question to you with the Will and Jem thing is, why not?

You mention how them being parabatai basically makes them brothers, so it’s weird to ship- does that mean Emma & Julian is inherently weird tk ship? No it’s not.

Parabatais are inherently meant to be like your sibling, yes some parabatais do have that kind of relationship (Jace & Alec) but a parabatai is meant to be someone who is almost your other side. I just think it’s weird to use that as an argument against them.

I am also like you and prefer to view them as best friends rather than romantic, however I don’t think there is anything wrong with shipping these to. There is contextual things in the text. These two characters have a deep love and understanding of each other, both willing to sacrifice happiness so that the other is happy. I don’t think this inherently means there romantic, I just think that when a character has a love for another character like Will&Jem it can be interpreted in a lot of different ways. Cassandra even recently just went on Instagram to say that she wanted Will’s first word to be Jem- these are two characters with a deep connection.

Jem had so much love for Will and his family that he protected the Herondales for the rest of his days, that’s devotion. And even at the start of the series, we saw Will only being kind and caring towards Jem.

All I’m saying is why these things are inherently romantic, they have certain undertones which can be viewed and interpreted romantically. Will is waiting in death for Jem and Tessa.

I would also argue with you on the Jem&Tessa thing, however since you do think that I think you kind of misinterpreted the book and I would recommend another reread.

you just spent a whole essay stating how much they loved eachother and i absolutely agree — will and jem loved eachother so much. but they were not in love with eachother. which is why i find it weird to ship them. they spent the whole series talking about how they were brothers, neither of them ever hinted at or alluded to the idea that they might be in love with eachother. in fact, one of the main things that makes will will is that he is in love with tessa ONLY and above all else.

shipping emma and julian is different because they CLEARLY exhibited romantic intentions towards eachother whereas will and jem never did. again, it would be like the random and unwarranted shipping of james and matthew who never exhibited any romantic feelings towards each other, only brotherly feelings. showing “devotion” towards eachother as you named it doesn’t have to mean romantic love, like i said it’s okay for two men to be best friends and be devoted to eachother without everyone just saying yeah yeah they were into eachother. no? they just loved eachother dearly and thats completely fine.

plus, neither jem nor will are interested in men😭 thats like if someone were to ship alec with clary? like clary is straight and alec is gay, it’s not right to change their sexualities just cuz we feel like it. in the same way, jem and will are both interested in women, so it’s frankly wrong to ignore their sexuality like that and ship them together.

i honestly think that shipping them genuinely goes against what this book is supposed to be about. these are two best friends and brothers who just happened to fall in love with the same girl, but because of how much deep love and care they have for eachother, they didn’t hate eachother for that, and wanted the other person to be happy with her, SEPARATELY. and i think that’s beautiful.

and idc if you disagree with me about the jem and tessa thing, i definitely didn’t misinterpret the books and it’s likely that you did actually, seeing as they’re my favorite books, i study english literature, and i’ve reread them more than any other series. lol

[ben-wisehart]

hi! do you ever feel like the bingqiu fandom is binghe biased? like a lot of the time its giving.. “wow binghe is our little precious bun who deserves the world and more! ..oh and stinky neet loser sqq is so blessed to have him lul” it feels unfair towards sqq :( it makes me sad hes no ones fave but thats okay like whatever right? but even when its bingqiu hes treated like an afterthought. like we have binghe fans criticising sqq for not doing more, sj fans are frankly delusional, sqh fans think hes “too mean” to their precious hamster, liushen fans only like him bc hes a good hole/dick for lqg (obligatory “not all men” lol) idk i only follow a handful of svsss twt accs because no one seems to like him, he feels either tolerated or treated as a gag character lol 🥹

i just dislike a lot of fanon bingqiu i think? i read all the books before hopping on twitter and i see some absolute rancid takes on there like the woobification of Shaun(tm) qinghua and jiumei.. which is easy enough to avoid tbf so whatever floats their boat idc. but when i follow bingqiu accs, it feels like OC x OC rather than ~bingqiu~ if that makes sense? like i LOVE the manipulative crybaby domtop x flustered thin face subby pillow princess they have going on!! and fanon bingqiu is just.. not it? and obv id never send hate or anything (i just block and keep it moving) but it makes it kinda sucky when the fandom is already teeny tiny and a large chunk of the fandom isnt what i envisioned/expected i guess which is so odd! when they essentially erase canon!! if it’s like some queerbaity ship or whatever, people can characterise them however they want but its like CANON how they act/are in bed/etc and its all taken away!!! idk im probably just whining sorry 😭

(i included all my thoughts here sorry for the spam!!)

hey, thanks for stopping by!! I definitely know what you mean with regards to SQQ, but I will assure you that there are very much still plenty of dedicated "sqq mains" out there. My sphere of influence on twitter is heavily biased toward people for whom sqq is their favourite character, so maybe I'm not getting a representative sample of the fandom overall, but he's definitely a very well loved character and has more than his fair share of people who do him justice in their writing and for whom he's their primary blorbo!! I remember posting this on reddit a while back and more than half of the responses (though admittedly a small sample size) had him as their fave. So, I don't think he's without appreciation!

But with that said, I do get where you’re coming from. I’m not gonna talk about readers who take his actions in bad faith and actively dislike him (HOW??), but as you’ve said, even among people who do like him, we don’t always understand him as well as we could. Most fans do get on some level that he’s an unreliable narrator, but it’s still very common for people to take him at face value and completely miss his depth. He’s a funny little guy with amusing narration, but he’s also kind and selfless, and he’s also smart and witty, and obnoxious and annoying, and frankly pretty insensitive, and deeply, deeply traumatised—and a million other things! He has layers.

I think all popular characters in fandom will inevitably start getting boiled down to a few key traits. And as somebody who’s been writing fic for 15 years, it’s really hard not to let your own biases colour your portrayal? I absolutely do it with SQQ!! I focus on his kinder, warmer aspects and downplay his flaws, I’ll readily admit that. We all get drawn to a favourite character for a certain trait, and that trait becomes the grit around which our interpretations form. If you’re somebody that likes silly characters, you’re going to write SQQ and dial his silliness up to eleven. If you like kind characters, you’ll write SQQ with emphasis on his kindness. None of these traits are OOC in and of themselves, but if you start to only read fanfic and don’t revisit the source material, you can get lost in what’s popular and forget all the depth that actually made them interesting in the first place. And once you’ve grown attached to a particular version of the characters in your head, it can be really hard to let go of it. I don’t really know where I’m going with this, but I'll add that I think protagonists are just particularly prone to this happening because they're usually the one the audience relates to most.

Idk if any of that really addresses the stuff you were talking about. You mentioned dom top Binghe/pillow princess sqq and to be honest I’m kind of reluctant to talk about this in depth because I’ve received negative comments in the past for supposedly being anti-bottom Binghe, when all I’ve ever said on this matter is that I think it’s a bit weird to insist that “I’m scared of hurting you so I might as well let you do it” is proof that Binghe is canonically a bottom. The fact that someone found that statement so threatening to their view of the characters that they would go to my ao3 page, click on the first fic they saw that happened to feature bottom SQQ and leave their holier-than-thou anonymous opinion there is just bizarre to me.

To be honest tho, it tends to be Binghe characterisation that puts me off moreso than Shen Qingqiu. The only SQQ characterisation that truly bothers me is when people write him as willing to hurt Binghe, or willing to do anything with underage Binghe, but there is a LOT of Binghe stuff that I’m sensitive too. Idk if you read this thread of mine but like, even my friends whom I love make “Binghe stalking/imprisoning/"atticwifing" SQQ” jokes and these bother me way more than any random stranger saying SQQ would get off on spanking Binghe.

And like, it’s kind of hard because objectively, Binghe is a very dark character, so it doesn't feel particularly OOC to say he would do those things, but it's about framing. It bothers me when the emphasis is on how fucked up he is and not how hard he's trying, because it implies a level of futility that I just don’t think is there in canon. To me the beauty of him is in how much doing right by SQQ doesn't come naturally to him, but he ultimately decides to do it anyway because he wants SQQ to be happy. (I feel it needs to be said that I don't mean this in a judgy "if you write dark Binghe you don't understand him and are a bad person" way. Just that I myself can't handle that, and I strongly disagree if you think it's where Bingqiu's relationship is headed).

but idk, I've found my corner and I'm very happy here. I actually don't read fic as often as you'd think, mostly because I am sooooo picky, so I totally get where you're coming from :) but the fandom is still decently sized and very diverse, so there are always going to be at least a few people who share your feelings, if you can find them!

[bardocks-tiddies]

Bingo made by @sepiamestus

Going into excruciating detail under the cut because i love bardock so much i am so autistic for this man

I like them in theory. I mean duh?? Goku’s dad? Rad as fuck

Squashing him like a bug (/affection). I mean, yeah. Would he let me? No ofc not. But idc

He doesn’t get enough canon focus. He really doesn’t. He got a little screen time in Xenoverse 2 and Super, but they’ve changed his personality so much, and I don’t think Xenoverse 2 counts as ‘canon’.

LEAVE THEM ALONEEEE. How many times have we watched him die to Frieza? In movies and games and stuff? Leave him alone.

No one understands him but me and my circle of mutuals. His personality has been horrible morphed by FUNimation, and then Toriyama himself in Super

Banger design. His blood-soaked headband? Rad af. No I’m not including Super.

Doesn’t get enough fanon focus. He gets some fanon focus, but so many people write him as a tragic hero/loving father and it makes me cry every time. He’s canonically a terrible fucking father.

Like them better as part of a dynamic. I love his dynamic with Team Bardock (Fasha/Celipa, Pumbukin/Shugesh, Tora/Toma, and Toteppo/Borgos). I may not like his changes in Super, but I do love his relationship with Gine.

I know what you are. I interpreted this as “Character is Not Straight™️” and Z Bardock is certainly not straight.

I need them to be weirder. I need Saiyans in general to be weirder.

Transing their gender as we speak. I don’t think Saiyans really have the same gender social construct that Earth does, and I of course love a good trans HC, but I genuinely dont think it really works for Saiyans? If anyone else has any trans Saiyan HCs I won’t judge ofc, but I personally don’t.

Free space! The blorbo himself <3

I hate them (I think about them constantly). I do ofc think about him constantly, but I would never say I hate him.

They gave me new mental problems. Tragic hero Super Bardock (as opposed to Z Bardock) has certainly given me mental problems. Like from DBS: Broly. He gave absolutely everything and his priority being his two kids? All for Goku to just forget who he is? Genuinely some of Toriyama’s best writing.

I need them to be less weird. No.

WET CAT SOUNDS. :)

I like them but everyone is weird about them. I don’t think so? I don’t interact with a lot of DBZ spaces tho.

I cri

I miss my wife, Tails

Hate all their popular ships. I think the only “popular” ships are Bardock x Gine (which I adore) and Bardock x Toma (which I’m also absolutely on board with).

I don’t get the hype. There isn’t ENOUGH hype tbh.

Autism beam. He’s the most autistic bitch except maybe Goku, which makes sense since autism is genetic, we just know where Goku gets it from. Although I’d also make the argument that Gine is autistic, too.

Who was I before you… I mean I have dissociative amnesia so I thought it fits lol

I NEED them to be happy. After all the remakes of the destruction of Planet Vegeta, he deserves a rest.

[goblins-riddles-or-frocks]

i followed you because of darklina but i went down a rabbit hole bc half your listed fanfic was helsing (and im into dracula too a bit but i was only familiar with castlevania’s alucard) so i spent some time reading alutegra stuff and they sound interesting. i put the show on my list even though ive spoiled myself atp

the main point of my ask is if you think integra is a lesbian. I haven’t watched the show or read the manga but i came across a discussion where some fans were say alutegra shippers are erasing her lesbian identity and forcing feminine traits on her. idk. what are your thoughts?

second, in canon, if integra was to open up about romantic feelings once alucard came back, how do you think he would react?

sorry for all the questions and i hope you write more alutegra fic!! i need it for when i start and finish ultimate lol

Obviously I… do not think that considering how much ship fic I have posted? Like I’m not sure what you are expecting me to say here! I’m not interested in ship wars. And if someone is dead set on her being a lesbian then like good for them lmao. Canon tells us fuck all, interpret it however you want idc

But omg getting into Hellsing for ship content and then it’s ten hours of a wildly suicidal Dracula in a stupid hat goring nazi vampires. Good luck 😭

Fwiw, if you like manga, I think starting with the manga is a slightly better entry point. The Ultimate OVAs follow canon pretty closely but the first episodes make some odder stylistic choices, and the vibes just end up being a little different.

As for romance, like I struggle to see her doing that tbqh? We don’t talk about feelings in this house! And it’s literally a character choice that she keeps like three feet from him at all times in canon lmao.

But also yeah I mean he’d go along with it? He has zero boundaries + probably views a sexual relationship of some sort between them an inevitability— like I HC that he was absolutely fucking Arthur and Van Helsing too. If she reads into that context though, she would HATE it.

And then there’s the element where… he doesn’t do well if offered like. actual kindness. So if she’s unmistakably talking about feelings and making it clear she cares about him, then very high chance he’s going to either write it off as her being young and silly, or he might just think that she’s mocking him. Idk it would just be very thorny regardless.

OH I just scrolled up and saw the “when he came back” bit. Idk man honestly that’s harder to parse. I typically think they’re even more dysfunctional after the timeskip because they barely know each other anymore at that point.

[mentally-deranged-bit]

They/Xem ∘ Call me Bit :D I draw what I want! Mostly Sonic right now... and… and Hollow Knight…

ALL LINKS IN THIS POST ARE CURRENTLY A LITTLE WONKY. I'M WORKING ON IT, THANK YOU FOR PATIENCE

︶꒦꒷✧꒷꒦︶

I try to use this site as intended and reblog posts instead of liking them. I'm sorry if I liked your post, I probably wanted to reblog it but slipped into old habits. Notify me if I have reblogged anything on this list. Trust me, I want to know and I will not bite you.

Also, sometimes I reblog my own art because I like it and want to share it again lol I swear & use lots of emoticons. I'm also pretty chill with people interpreting my drawings! In fact I like it when people come away with different opinions! Have fun, man!! I try to tag characters, type of post & anything else important within so my blog is easier to search through! If I've missed something, please tell me! I don't like to inconvenience people!

The current Sonic hyperfixation* started February 20th after I binged season 3 of Sonic Prime. Not sure how long I'll be like this, but I def liked Sonic before so I'm not just gonna drop off the face of the earth either yeah? [*NOW ITS A SPECIAL INTEREST HELP]

I will draw eyestrain & other stuff, but I will tag those so y'all can block those out if you want!

Tag masterlist Do I tag in a way that likely makes it a bit harder for me to be found? If so, idc because it helps me hopefully keep it chill around here lol

Sonic Headcanons These are important to understand certain things i will draw & honestly just kinda fun!😭 Very much a WIP rn!

Eye Guide in case you’re curious why I draw them like that

Art im Proud of right now~

Shadow Being Introduced to Lady Gaga’s Music ||| Silver Baking Cupcakes ||| Hornet wanting to be asleep

Other stuff that’s sort of important under the cut because this is… quite long

The way I tag posts is more or less in the order of

Every Character in the post’s name > ship name > fandom > type of post > any other thoughts

sometimes I mess up lol

Examples

a post where it’s just a doodle of sonic and it’s my art would he tagged like this most of the time

Sonic the hedgehog, sonic, bit.doodle

A reblog of a post about someone’s oc

[Name if I know it], “others ocs” or [the fandom of the oc], bit.reblog

Not everything mentioned here will be tagged on each post and sometimes I’m not sure how to tag to this standard, but I try! Let me know if something is missing :D

This does kind of keep me from reblogging some stuff because, for example, I don’t know enough about Godzilla to even BEGIN tagging any of the cool shit i find there but hopefully I’ll figure that out lol.

[ladymorghul]

Self insert allegations are just “fangirl” allegations with a shiny coat of paint, it’s to imply that being a woman and engaging with a male character means you want to fuck him and nothing else. It’s the same as “girls watch sport for the hot players” and not because they can enjoy the game. The truth is that male actors tend to be pretty, that’s why they put them on tv. I wouldn’t personally say Ewan fits into that, but there’s literally nothing wrong with just finding a grown man on television hot. If you do want to fuck Aemond, that would also be okay.

But I find the same behaviour, that the people who cry about Helaemond being a self insert for Aemond fangirls are the ones who post about him the most, and frequently the ones who say borderline disturbing things about Ewan (a real person,) rather than Aemond himself. Like things about his personal life/fantasies/etc. Again, very normal to find him attractive, very fine to post about liking him, but very weird to publicly speak about a person you don’t know in a highly sexualized manner.

i generally agree with this however most alysm*nds and a part of aemond fandom is genuinely possessive of aemond. like they fiercly hate everyone who doesn't interpret aemond as they do or ship him with al*s. they think they have a right to gatekeep aemond, especially from helaemonds so i do think many they have a toxic because of how much obsessed they're with aemond.

the anon i answered to was the second who said i want to fuck aemond and i want to invite them to skim my blog from first post to last and find ANY post that states so.

to me it was even weird to find out that this fandom has so many x reader fics, though that's none of my business

in any way idc about how obessed someone is with aemond or ewan or whatever, as long as they don't act like an authority over this character and bully people who don't interact with aemond's character to their standards

honestly this fandom is putrid and i kind of regret engaging with it. lots of misogyny, weird people who claim to be book readers but screech over non canon ships, bullying bc they're possessive of a character and act like that character is their boyfriend and can only be shipped with al*s (which many project on) or with y/n 💀

i'm sorry but very few fandoms have produced such unhinged individuals

also i'm gonna close my inbox if i keep getting nasty shitty asks

maybe thats basic but korrasami for the ship game. if youve already done it what about kya/lin?

korrasami - ship it

what made you ship it? the archetypes (esp korra <33), i thought it had good bones. temporary estrangement and gay awakening, prime subvarieties of friends to lovers. putting meat on the bones thru fic made me stick with it, now i basically just have my own version

what are your favorite things about the ship? characters deriving sth positive from women they're different to/oppositionally placed in the narrative. the ways i interpret them being alike vs. different: i think they have more core affinities than might appear (sheltered, resultant naïveté + loneliness, open-hearted, idealism wounded by circumstance), but they present and operationalise in v divergent ways, so there's space for curiosity and learning while having a foundational kinship/solace. this word is ruined but there's sth pure? about each that they'd value in the other if they themselves feel fraught. none of which need be romantic but they're hot girls so

is there an unpopular opinion you have on the ship? it would have a smaller but more compelling fanon afterlife if it wasnt ~canon rep, but greater good, i know! also bi4bi that isnt m/f is rare and fun so thats usually my treatment of them, but idc if ppl have sexuality headcanons that contradict canon, it's not going anywhere

kyalin - don't ship

why don't you ship it? i personally can’t see it working! my instinct is that they’re too different—there's a stick up lin’s ass obv, and kya reads to me as hippy dippy in a slightly brusque and bristly way rather than one that might help ease in people that don’t already feel receptive to her. basically, they're both probably defensive in a way that would make that initial gulf hard to bridge into actual intimacy. i also really don’t like the thing of dating your brother’s ex, this narrow second generation social/dating pool that sequel series always seem to have. meet other people that are not family friends, queens

what would have made you like it? idk, probably not much. maybe if they interacted more there would be something to jump off

despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it? from what ive seen, it’s actually really cool that a fanon ship of two middle aged women has so much traction! for all its weaknesses, lok didn’t skimp on the milfage and that's wonderful

send me a ship

n+a=j truthers annoy the shit out of me lmao

honestly it’s like the asoiaf equivalent of anti vaxxers like why are there so many interpretative backflips in you theory

they think r+l=j is “too obvious” or even that “it doesn’t add anything to the story”??? cuz sure n+a=j adds sooo much ijbol

some n+a=j truthers seem to like this theory because they want jon to be AA and think dawn is lightbringer. hmm no. lightbringer is drogon probably. also, a literal sword being lightbringer is such a turn-off idc

others seem to be the complete opposite: they are almost afraid of jon being a little bit more important to the prophecy stuff than what they would like. they know there’s no way in hell jon is going to be legitimate in the books, so they don’t care about throne claims (and anyone with 2 braincells knows that dany feeling threatened by jon’s legitimacy in the show was just another stupid ideia from d&d), but the magic stuff?

they hate the idea of him being the son of rhaegar and lyanna because they know this means jon will have an important role to play in the long night and the prophecies related to it

now, i don’t think this means he’s AA (i think AA is dany anyway because jon being AA and dany being his nissa nissa is so fucking stupid and sexist)

but i find it sooo funny how some people in this fandom wholeheartedly believe they already know/figured out everything about how the prophecies will unfold in the end

because we don’t, honestly. prophecies are all about not being obvious

so what if jon ends up having an important and surprising role in this whole thing? i have my own theories regarding that, but i don’t even dare to talk about it in fandom spaces because everyone just assumes that they’ve got everyting figured out and that the most obvious interpretation is the correct one

so yeah, jon being the son of rhaegar and lyanna has obvious magical repercussions, but some of y’all are just too scared to admit it and instead decide to deny it altogether

but it’s completely possible to be a dany fan, believe she’s AA and also think jon will play a key role — a different one, but important nonetheless. it doesn’t hurt i swear lol

and then there’s the third group: the rhaelya haters

i’v seen multiple times people going like “i hate rhaegar and lyanna, i hope my pookie pie jon snow is not their son” like i’m sorry this is not how it works lmao you don’t get to pick and choose “better” parents for your favorite characters or ignore the importance of their parentage just because you don’t like their parents

look, idgaf about rhaelya, i don’t ship them. i’m very rhaegar-neutral (don’t hate him, don’t love him, tho i do think he’s an interesting and intriguing character). i like lyanna i guess but i’m not that invested

that being said, sorry to break it to you, but hating rhaegar and lyanna (as individuals and/or as a couple) is not a good reason to deny the huge amount of hints towards r+l=j and its obvious implications to the story (specifically to the magical side of the story)

because if you do that, you’re not starting from the premise of what makes more sense to the story, but from what you want. then, you have to work your way backwards and do mental gymnastics in order to make some sense out of your theory

I’ve figured out how to word my contempt for “straight ships”

I don’t hate fictional straight couples outright. What I hate is the absence of effort and genuineness 90% of straight ships have.

Someone else’s love is not a right you are obligated to. Most straight couples are written with zero effort to earn the love they have. Because many straight creators think there is no work to be done. That a straight man and a straight women being together is inherent. No work is needed to be done because it’s expected.

And I hate that.

I hate it with any relationship, I like relationships because they have depth, but I particularly hate it with straight couples because that is the “normal” mindset towards it. It either happens as a man expects a woman to fall to his feet without doing anything for her or a woman expects a man to throw his life on the line because that’s what is “supposed” to happen and that is so gross to me. That’s not what love is.

Usually I dislike the straight pairings in stories because they are that. You don’t see the two people grow, together or on their own. They don’t prove themselves worthy of the others love, they think it’s something they are granted, have a right to. I don’t usually demand “evidence” for ships because it’s all make believe and for fun but I will not like most thrown together straight ships because of this very thought. There’s no reality to their bond. They do not like even like each other most of the time, and somehow I am supposed to suspend believe and think the most average or even terrible and bland straight relationship is the greatest love story of all time, every time I see it?

Some of my most special ships are between a man and a woman and sometimes I imagine they as straight but they are special because of the journey they went on together and I witnessed them experience that. Or they just have so much genuine love for each other, even if I didn’t see them get together I can still feel their affectionate in all they do. They were that well written that I couldn’t possibly deny the obvious love they have for each other.

Also. I’m gay as FUCK. The most cisheteronormative emotionally constipated strangers-at-best straight pairing will never appeal to me because I have zero stakes or relatability in that. They have no love for each other, no kind of bond or understanding or similar place in the world that lets them understand and feel and devote. They are noting to each other and therefore nothing to me.

[gayvampyr]

hate when ships get super popular and then become prioritized over aspec headcanons, and i don’t just mean ppl think their interpretation is correct and everyone else is wrong, im talking about extremely toxic and hateful vitriol that pollutes fandom spaces and makes them unfriendly and even hostile toward aspecs. i hate this especially when the character has very clear aro/ace coding and subtext and everyone will just be like “no you’re wrong AND homophobic they have CHEMISTRY” yeah sometimes that’s called friendship. like idk how to convince people that if a character is all but canonically aroace and the only ambiguity is that they just haven’t said the word aloud and you just. erase that aspect of their identity, that’s aphobic. idc if you’re like “yeah they’re aspec and in a relationship” or “i think they’re gay but i respect your interpretation” that’s all fine and good. but im just asking y’all to stop acting like aro-ace characters are somehow lesser or that your interpretation will “fix” them.

anyway im just tired of romantic relationships being positioned over platonic ones. i like shipping as much as the next person (okay, maybe a bit less than the next person) but sometimes they’re just friends. let aro/ace people have some sort of rep and stop acting like all of our headcanons are wrong or bad. you’re ruining fandom for all of us <3

[star-scrambled]

so with sonic and knuckles basicaly being brothers in the movie, how you feeling?

I think everyone really wants an answer out of me as the person who ruthlessly crowded the movie sonknux tag for months, so here you go! I said I’d comply with whatever happened, and now I am, and I’m having fun with that ADORABLE ending 🥺 idc!!! and idc in the sense that i’m happy either way!!!

The thing that has been ticking me off though is how I’ve yet to actually see a definitive confirmation of their relationship at the end, less so at official sources (as far as I’m aware) and more so at the people who decide to take rude jabs at eachother’s opinions as they inform me. I’m not going to trust someone saying “this is why they’re not siblings at all” when they’re actively judging people who got that from the ending and are creating good comforting content in their own space. I don’t endorse anyone doing that honestly, I thought it was common sense to respect eachother and lay off if you see something you don’t like.

On a more personal reflective note: It’s a strange thing to witness this happen, but it’s kind of funny to me too??? Like, how common is it for your ship to have One Canon of Dozens that seems to push for a relationship more familial 28 years after the characters’ original debut AND in arguably what’s become the most well known media with them, and what do you do about that? I personally have a deep soft spot for the found family message of the movie, and honest to god the fics people have made in the past few days alone about it have driven me to tears SO OFTEN because of how adorable and sweet it all is, but like......in terms of my art content, what is Movie Sonic and Movie Knuckles if not regular Sonic and Knuckles with extra fur and new shoes? I’m still drawing the exact same characters, and so far indulging in both the media where the ship is rocky and where the ship is completely justified feels...REALLY fucking weird. Like. Is that Okay. Am I completely closed off from enjoying this because I dug myself a hole for two years that’s too deep to jump out of and start over again? Or can I make this work somehow?

My only hope is that, if it is confirmed ten fold that they are undeniably siblings and not just awkward found family friends to besties (how I see the ending and onward so far, purely /p), people take the effort to check the dates of my pre-movie fan works before sending asks about it. I wouldn’t even consider myself a spokesperson for the ship anymore, if I’m being honest, again because of the weird behaviour and different views and interpretations I have of them compared to most anyway. Sonuckles/Sonknux will always have me in its grasps, and I’m obviously not changing how I create non-movie ship, but I’d rather make even more fun with what I got than waste my energy and cause unnecessary problems for myself trying to resist it.

I hope this is what you wanted to hear??? Like I’ve posted before, if anyone unbias can actually tell me what’s going on with them, PLEASE lmk!!! 👍 but either way team sonic fans STAY WINNING BABYYYYYYYYYY AAAUUYEGUSGGHGHHHHG SOBS
