So lets take a look at CaitVi’s romantic arc this season, or lack thereof:
Act 1:
Vi consoles a grieving Cait -> Cait wants Vi by her side as an enforcer , Vi says “fawk no” -> Vi gets drunk with discount Vander then Maddie comes and tells her Cait has fought for her (offscreen) which she appreciates -> Vi asks Cait to “never change” , Cait says “sure Jan😉” -> Vi and Cait kiss -> Jinx teases Vi abt her relationship with Cait -> Cait goes blind with rage, assaults Vi, then leaves her crying and broken
Act 2:
Cait sleeps with Maddie, looks sad -> Vi spirals into an alcoholic rage in the span of a montage while constantly thinking of Cait -> when Cait and Vi meet again, Cait attacks her and they insult each other-> Vi playfully calls her “cupcake” -> Cait, seemingly moved by this one word, betrays Ambessa and hatches up a plan with Vi -> Vi spits on Cait and she wipes her saliva on her mouth-> Ambessa mentions that Vi’s absence created a hole in Cait’s heart -> Cait checks on Vi during Vander’s attack on the commune
Act 3:
Cait and Vi have a talk abt Jinx, there are a handful of lines with Vi being upset about Cait feeding into Ambessa bullshit, none about what she did to Vi -> Vi confronts Jinx, Jinx seemingly gives Vi her blessing with Cait -> Cait finds Vi trapped in Jinx’s cell where she contemplated suicide -> Vi is upset about Jinx for two lines then Cait flirts with her -> they make out then Cait brings up her fling with Maddie -> Vi dgaf and they briefly have sex in prison while Jinx is doing god knows what
Epilogue:
Cait and Vi are now living together -> Vi claims she is the “dirt” under Cait’s nails and that’s that
In other words:
They kiss -> they fight -> ??? -> they fuck -> they back
If you thought the romance of Caitvi this season felt janky and undercooked, that’s because it was. No time was given to meaningfully explore the emotions between Cait and Vi, how they felt about each other, how their actions affected each other (except in brief montages and brief lines), their love for one another. All of the meat of the relationship was either done off screen, mentioned by other characters, or blink and you miss it microfacial expressions that the fandom seems to think is a replacement for actual character writing. All of this leaves Caitvi with hollow story beats that lack any real buildup thus no satisfying payoff.
I have to wonder, to the people who offer such high praises for Caitvi this season, have they never read/watched a good wlw story? Not even a decent one? Cause this was lackluster at best, a slap in the face at worst. Don’t tell me there wasn’t enough time either because Arcane had the time to devote a whole episode to a het AU ship, Arcane had the time to animate long, heavily romantic coded sequences between Jayce and Viktor, but couldn’t spare a dime for their flagship relationship in the show? What a mess

Yuri HanaNene Headcanons
Tumblr media
• Since I headcanon Boy!Hanako as transmasc I like to think Girl!Hanako would be transfem (it’s me, ofc I have to make all my headcanons as queer as possible)
• I also headcanon Nene as transfem so they’re still t4t in the Yuri HanaNene Universe (YHU)™️
• Hanako being a girl would definitely add a layer of complications to Nene’s feelings for her. She wouldn’t be thinking abt it in the heteronormative way of “he’s a boy so he probably likes me so I should give him a chance.” More likely she’d be freaking out at the idea of Hanako liking her because if she likes her back then that means something deeper for her personal identity
• Meaning that the Confession Tree chapter would center more around Nene having a sexuality crisis. She may have had some idea that she liked girls before, but now she’s having to seriously consider her identity and that’s scary for her (maybe Aoi’s advice to her is a bit more meaningful and we get some earlier hints that Aoi is also hiding parts of herself)
• But by the time she meets Hanako under the Confession Tree, she’s starting to wonder what it might be like to date a girl. It sounds intimidating, but also kind of nice. And just as she starts to open herself up to it, the confession turns out to be part of a scheme
• After 65 years Hanako has probably figured out her own sexuality, and since she had to repress that part of herself when she was alive (due to it being the 60s and all), she’s totally girl crazy and v much like the overly flirty Hanako we know in canon
• Nene already has enough reason to be secretive about her crush on Hanako due to her being a ghost but a girl as well?? There’s a lot riding on it
• That could give her something to connect with Kou over rather than his romance subplot being very separate from the rest of the cast and almost secretive. They both know about each other’s crushes and tease each other accordingly
• Imo Kou and Hanako would definitely still be just friends (girl or boy Hanako isn’t Kou’s type lol) but they’d still have those slightly flirty moments that they have in canon. Bicons
• Nene would initially be shocked that Hanako is so open about her interest in women, but that would eventually inspire her to accept her own sexuality
• True to the ASHK chapter, Nene would absolutely love giving Hanako makeovers. She does her hair up in different styles and lets her borrow her clothes
• Hanako’s defensive behavior whenever a man gets too close to Nene is more out of overprotectiveness than jealousy (tho that air of possessiveness is most definitely still there lol)
• In addition to writing poetry, Nene makes playlists about her crush on Hanako (wlw canon event)
• Nene tries to get Hanako to engage in “girl talk” abt their crushes but it always ends in Hanako flirting with her (cue a lot of blushing and “you’re not my type”)
• Since Nene is more affectionate with women I don’t think she’d mind Hanako’s clinginess as much
• In general Nene is a total girls girl and befriends women very easily so I think her and Hanako would get along better at first, but they’d still have that teasing nature of Nene bullying her that’s true to canon HanaNene (and every TBHK ship lol)
• I think their dynamic would be similar to Rae and Claire from I’m In Love With The Villainess. Hanako is very flirty at first and Nene thinks it’s just a joke, and at a certain point she’s just confused because she doesn’t think she’s lovable so Hanako must be joking. That would only be at the start of the manga tho, as I mentioned before the Confession Tree is a major turning point
• I could see Nene being very overprotective of Hanako in an “I’m the only one who’s allowed to talk shit about her” way
• Nene is bi with a preference for boys and Hanako is bi with a preference for girls. bi4bi t4t girlfriends
• At some point during the story they start sharing hair clips and regularly get into arguments over who lost one of them
• While Nene doesn’t initiate physical affection as much as Hanako, she does cling to her and hold her hands a lot more
• Matching hairstyles and outfits ofc
• Nene buys extra snacks/candies at lunch to share with Hanako after school
• Their feelings for each other are less obvious to others at first since they’re both girls but once they really fall for each other it’s impossible to mistake their relationship for friendship
• Picnic dates on the school roof
• Sometimes they slow dance when Nene has finished cleaning the bathrooms (Hanako’s not too good with romance so she takes these opportunities to make things magical for Nene)
• That’s All, Folks!

Im pissed off af so I’m gonna be ranting about how much less notes my sapphic shit get even though I’ve only posted properly about one fucking gay ship (I obviously love all the gay and mlm ships in Mauraders Era I just get pissed off sometimes!)
Tumblr media
The first one is a wolfstar headcanon, and in just one day it got 23 notes. The one at the bottom is a marylily headcanon, it got 6 notes in two days. This might be an unfair comparison but I also see how this happens to other blogs. Like I know we know more about wolfstar but tons of people love jegulus and we barely know anything about regulus, so why not marylily? Well my answer is just people don’t interact with wlw or lesbian ships and it’s annoying, because a lot of ppl I know ship these but then you know don’t do much or interact much :/ (not talking abt anyone specific, mostly ppl irl) and this goes for a lot of fandoms, but in those fandoms it’s usually male dominant characters + not enough females to ship which makes sense, but it’s not like that in the marauders, so it pisses me off. Sorry for rambling anyways the main point of this is my blog is sapphic first and foremost and I hate putting mlm ships on this blog for this reason… I might make a side blog for mlm ships idk :(

The fact that a lot of people are being so pressed and homophobic about byler *possibly* being canon when Robin x Vickie are practically canon onscreen already and no one is batting an eye tells me that
1) Straight ppl (and a lot of queer ppl too tbh) don’t take sapphic ships seriously bc there is a culture of literally ignoring lesbians and how special and equally queer wlw love is, so homophobes don’t see it as that much of a problem
and 2) The difference between having a queer ship as part of the main plotline between two crucial main characters, vs having a cute but relatively unrelated side queer pairing just for the sake of giving an LGBTQ character a love interest MATTERS when it comes to representation. There are so. Many. Cishet ppl who claim to be “allies” or just “okay” with the queer community until suddenly it looks like a queer ship between two MAIN CHARACTERS is going to be endgame *instead of the het ship*. A few minutes of screentime for Robin and the character put into the show specifically to be her love interest that showed up a grand total of three scenes in the entire season? Yeah, sure, that’s fine, but as soon as it becomes apparent that one of the main young teenage characters is in love with his best friend who is also a major character might actually be reciprocated? Ppl throw a goddamn FIT.
It is so telling that people are coming up with all of these excuses for why byler could never and shouldn’t happen, and why they’re adamantly against it:
“Mike has to be straight cuz he’s with el!” (bi ppl and comphet exist 🤨)
“It’s just not realistic, they’re just friends it came out of nowhere” (it’s canon that Will’s had feelings for Mike since season one so idk wtf ur talkin abt)
“M*leven is the main ship you’re just delusional” (they’re not tho??Are u forgetting abt lumax? Cuz they got wayy more attention and love in s4 than m*leven did. Also jopper and jancy exist)
“Mike isn’t obligated to like Will back” (literally no one said he was? It’s not that he’s “obligated” it’s just that he’s acting pretty fuckin fruity)
And ofc my personal favorite: “It’s the 80s it’s just not realistic for so many ppl to be gay” (if u rlly think gay ppl didn’t exist in the 80s I beg u to open a proper history book)
Translation? “I simply cannot bring myself to believe that a queer character on a show this big would be essential and well loved enough by the writers and actors to get a happy ending. This show was never stated to be strictly abt the queer experience (as opposed to something like heartstopper) so obviously my het ship will be endgame over the queer one, bc a major endgame relationship couldn’t possibly be queer. That makes me uncomfortable.”
Basically, straight people are getting upset about byler bc they’re used to queer ships being sidelined or just put there for clout.
They’re ALSO just used to seeing the main female protagonist end up in an endgame with a guy, bc god forbid a female MC gets to finish her arc single ���
We can acknowledge the difference between a queer side ship with one insignificant character and a queer ship between two major characters that is essential to the plot, while also talking about the fact that Robin and Vickie being relatively ignored both by homophobes AND the fandom is bc sapphic ships tend to get sidelined to mlm ships.
Sincerely,
Your local lesbian byler shipper

REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!
& DASHBOARD FUN ; mun addition ✧˖*°࿐
●  name ; cloves is fine!
●  pronouns ;  he/him and they/them!! either of those or switching between the two is 👍🏼
●  preference of communication ; DMs are ok! i only give out discord to ppl i’ve been rping with for a good while tho 😔 i’m not SUPER talkative but i try to reply to everything as best as i can!
● names of muse(s) ; ayalon!! i also.. have a canon character mutli-muse blog that i haven’t really done anything with.. maybe i’ll finally do something with it
● experience / how long ( months / years? ) ; i’ve been rping since i was 13, but for tumblr rp specifically i started in 2015!! and then took a much needed break from 2017-2019. i’ve always loved rping but the rp community back then was uhhhhh not as supportive of trans ppl or characters. it seems to have gotten better tho
● best experience ; i think anything i’ve done with my friend @carnivorarium // @phantasmaw!! i can’t really pinpoint a specific experience, but plotting and rping with them has been really fun and has really helped me get back into rping as a whole. IDK i was just so nervous when i first came back but she was super cool and nice and our characters hit it off super well!! 
this isn’t a tumblr rp experience but back in 2015 me and a friend created this huge fantasy world with all kinds of characters and we had the whole rp plotted out till the very end. i cant remember much of what we established but i remember it being really in-depth and thought out LSJHGKF i was always so excited whenever we both found the time to sit down and toss replies back and forth to each other. but then a few months later the website we rped on didn’t exist anymore and we ended up losing contact. i really wish i could go back and read everything we sent each other but im pretty sure i cant 
● RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS ; 
i actually have a lot and that’s why im so selective LDJFHK like the tumblr rpc has gotten better, yeah, but there is still so much room for improvement. 
1. being needlessly mean/high school bully level pettiness. Like bro there’s certain ppl on this website that do nothing but frequently make these long ass posts complaining abt how their oc(s) are better than everyone else’s, bc everyone else’s aren’t as “thought out, original, interesting, ect enough” and like? i just dont get it. i genuinely do not understand why ppl are so willing to kiss these specific kinds of ppl’s asses. the MOMENT i see any kind of “my oc is better than other ocs and here is a list as to why:” i refuse to interact. be proud of ur characters, but dont act like ur better than everyone else? i’ve also seen someone make a #girlboss post abt how “yeah there’s certain ppl on this website that want to avoid me so i go out of my way to befriend all of THEIR friends so they can never get rid of me :)” yeah ur weird. u are full on weird. u have not matured past 14. 
2. any complaining abt mlm and wlw. this includes ‘gay ships are so popular online that m/f just doesnt exist anymore.’/’everyone just wants to have gay ships so i’m going to get back at them by only shipping m/f.’ i dont think i should even have to explain why complaining abt gay ppl finally being able to indulge in fictional gay relationships is a fucked up thing to do and yet ppl still do it. stop having this ‘i have to get back at gay ppl’ mindset.. it’s gross
3. when i say no to a romantic and/or sexual relationship and all interest from the other person is lost. im not hurt when this happens, but it gets so annoying. if i say no to a ship and all interactions are suddenly cut off, it is so obvious to what ur intentions were and i really don’t appreciate it. my characters aren’t shipping fodder for yours. i know it can suck when someone says no to a possible ship, but it’s also so shitty to take that ‘no’ and then deliberately ignore the person just bc they refused u. it’s obvious, and i do notice it.
4. this is a personal preference ig but i dont like the ongoing trend of ‘my trans character was SA’d for being trans’ that is suddenly so.. popular within the tumblr rpc. it really grosses me out and i cant stand seeing it and i dont want mentions of that on my dash at all. it’s a no-no for me. 
● MUSE PREFERENCES ; fluff, angst or smut ; all three! tho i’m kinda selective with angst and even more-so with smut. i like to get a feel for someone and their character first before i rp angst, bc there’s been a lot of times i’ll be rping with someone and they would pile angst after angst on top of their character over and over again to the point it just got.. kinda ridiculous. like i love angst but sometimes ppl just get too caught up with making their characters go through the most fucked up shit as much as possible as a plot device. listen i love dragging my characters through the mud too but after awhile it gets repetitive and boring ;;v;; 
i love writing smut but given that ayalon rarely feels sexual attraction to other ppl and when he DOES he’s too busy just bullying them so. smut writing here might not be that big of a thing LKJDHFK fluff is a free for all tho!! he wants to knead on everyone like a cat and pull on them like laffy taffy. that’s ayalon being soft. 
 ● ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) ;  i think everyone’s got a little piece of themselves in their muses!! it’s hard not to. but damn i WISH i was a giant goth dude with great hair. i guess the biggest thing we have in common is that we’re both pretty stubborn when we have our minds set on something
tagged by: no one in particular LJDKFG i just saw a lot of ppl do it 
tagging: do what i did and steal from me. it’s ok to tag me too <3

@ultimaterealmofchaos​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ sent:  ❤ ━ do you have any crackships for your muse? any of them tbh lol  /  accepting!
any of them... more like all of them, god. most of my ships end up starting as crack ships and then they become more, either because of an rp partner or because i just have nonstop brainrot and i end up thinking myself in circles on it! let me check my muse roster and see if there’s any really notable ones. (or hell, maybe i’ll just list them all)
(an hour and a half later) okay i can’t list them all. here’s the highlight reel! the truly apeshit ones and/or the ones i ship the most!
*opens up my spreadsheet on lilian crack ships*
this would not be complete without lililight. they’re my confidant. my best friend. my silly rabbit,
lilimatty, of course. of course. i cannot not list it.
lilian/komaeda has the most awful energies im in love with it
similarly, lilipete is freaking everything i love how awful their energies are!
i’ve recently had such brainrot for fake dating anthony/lilian i think the narrative parallels are exquisite
lilimisa is also everything and i don’t talk about it enough
other ones:
points directly to mortison. the two of them literally never interact but i want them to SO badly. they’d fall in love so MUCH. also jessison deserves a mention bc i SCREAM every time they’re onscreen together. and jestorm. jestorm too.
i’ve been thinking a lot about denver/rio and denver/palermo i’m NOT gonna lie. i won’t go into specifics but any interested parties can hmu in dms
this list would not be complete without zenroto. the way i wrote an 100 page fic about these two actually. when you ship the mc of a dating sim with a love interest from a different dating sim. revolutionary, truly.
kouta/ryou has my ASS!!!! y’all don’t even get it they have my ass so ENTIRELY!!!!!
timlex. timlex. listen i can’t NOT talk about these two they’re my everything. i have a ship with a friend with them and they mean so much to me.
and speaking of ships that i have w that friend that mean so much to me i’m gonna CRY over normaiden listen i’m sobbing on the floor thinking abt them
godot/viola has my whole ass!!! with their persistent allusions to coffee!!! her jokes abt poison!!! ugh!!!!!!
god listen i will cry i think fukahina is so important they’ve BEEN important to me for so long. fukawa and asahina should kiss SO bad i just think they’re important
scrolls down a bit. one of my soul eater otps is actually kid/crona. i think they’d be really sweet together and the Thematics behind them are impeccable, truly. i do also like crona and black☆star (sir i love u but i hate writing your name) and yknow. kidcrostar or whatever their ot3 is. i don’t think any of those ships are especially popular, so. yeah!
angela/taylor! i’m saying they’re exes im manifesting it so hard. i need HOSTILE wlw interactions in this house thanks <3
i also want to mention johndrew and abraham/carver because they truly have my ass
narugodo is one that’s definitely grown on me a lot. i think they could be interesting together for sure.
hinazono... hinatsumi.... hinazumi.......
i think norman/scott is such a weird ass ship and while i’ve never written it out with anyone, the amount of traction it’s gotten in my head despite no outside prodding in the slightest is genuinely hilarious
i truly think octavian/annabeth has potential. i do. i do.
i do think raybbins and raykovitch count as crack ships. i stand by them though.
ok. i know. i know. but rebecca/paula truly
y’all know im safiya/manny supremacy y’all KNOW i am
im not sure if riamnoahlex counts but im making it count.
ritsuteru is so superior to teru/mob and im not sorry i just think they make much better sense together <3
aaand finally i’m gonna cap this off with yuri/monika! they are so special to me

thing is - i don’t actually care? if i’m reading something f/f, my first thought isn’t “oh i sure hope this was written by a wlw otherwise it’s problematic”, it’s whether or not the thing is actually good? and i’ve read plenty of good f/f stuff by male authors. some of them have been straight men, too. me and my irl gay friend talk all the time about f/f ships. we talk about them in nsfw contexts, which by internet standards would mean he’s “fetishizing” wlw, except that’s literally ridiculous. i don’t care if guys write or draw ladies in love or ladies having sex together, as long as they respect irl wlw. and most wlw i know don’t care about it either.
so why’s there an obsession that wlw are incapable of writing mlm, especially if it’s nsfw? is it just this idea that we can’t “understand” mlm? (which also has it’s own underlying issues besides the sexist implications - why would a gay man have more understanding of the biphobia faced by bi men than a bisexual woman?) is it because twitter fandom spaces and the like are filled with teenagers who tend to have very black and white opinions of things? is it this weird hostility between mlm and wlw that seems to exist everywhere online nowadays?
THIS. pls ily you’re proof that I get the best anons—
Seriously though, you’re absolutely right.
All the points you‘ve listed are true and valid and I don’t really have anything to add except WHY CANT EVERYONE MIND THEIR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS??
Like are y‘all really trying to tell me that you ain’t got anything better to do in the time you spend trying to forbid people doing things that ain’t any of your damn business? Why do you feel the need to jump in and force your opinion on others, moreover absolutely unasked for?
Plus y’all are bitching abt "oppression" BY FEMALES, while you literally got women on ur DNI list bc "they got enough cc x fem reader content already". Don’t see the irony? Apart from that, it’s just childish asf, so don’t act all high and mighty about your sensitive lil egos. YOU are being toxic and intolerant.
So thanks for poisoning the rest of us, fucking idiots.🙄

i know ur opinions on the ships we share so how abt bates/baxter, thomas/daisy (platonically ofc), rose/tom (idk why i just had that thought they’re both pretty and she reminds me so much of sybil actually omg fuck), mrs patmore/mrs hughes, robert/bates, cora/o’brien, cora/baxter (a sudden Thought)
@marv-llous OOH these are very cool, putting the list below! 
A+: OTP
A: I love it
B: It’s really cute
C: Not a bad ship
D: I’m neutral on it
E: I don’t really like it
F: NOTP
N/A: I don’t know the ship well enough 
Bates/Baxter: C! I will go on about their parallels - both are reformed criminals who were forced to take the blame for a crime orchestrated by a person manipulating them, then refuse to discuss the events because they think the people they love have very strong moral values and don’t want to disappoint them (both are very mysterious and kind yet soft-spoken) so as you said I like to think they probably knew each other pre-canon (Baxter mentioned living in London, or prison) and they’d both probably understand each other pretty well (also... Bates has a thing for lady’s maids...)
Thomas/Daisy: A! BROTP!! Let them be friends in canon!! (mlm/wlw solidarity for the win)
Rose/Tom: C, you’re right she’s like Sybil with the spunk turned up (and also later Tom has the wisdom and seriousness that Sybil added to their early relationship)!! I don’t really ship it romantically because he’s 15ish years older than her (I could be wrong? I think he’s a little older than Mary and she’s 20ish) but they’d be a power duo, I definitely see it platonically!
Mrs. Patmore/Mrs. Hughes: A, they are wives and I love them (they’re a power couple and support each other and are the mitochondria of the downstairs!! We deserved more sweet moments from them) 
Robert/Bates: B, I love their relationship and there’s absolutely no way they didn’t have some kind of romantic affair earlier on (esp before/after/during the war!!) 
Cora/O’Brien: C, it’s p much acknowledged (I think) in canon that they have a thing for each other and tbh I wish the show’d explored it (pining and there’s also ✨drama✨ what with O’Brien’s crimes and stuffs but the fact that Cora’s one of the few people O’Brien softens up to is such an angst factor and ye olde angst is wonderful) 
Cora/Baxter: B! Search “cora crawley” on my blog (it should come up near the top bc I don’t think I’ve posted much about her!), I rbed some amazing fanart of them awhile ago and I’ve been thinking about it ever since... (again bit of an odd power dynamic in most of the employer/servant relationships so all of those are ones where the power should balance out a little if they were to get together in canon but since we’re talking about the ship in theory? it is a Thought and I like that... there would be a lot of soft comfort 🥺)

Hi! If you don't mind could you share with us some Shaun and Becca friendship content? I love your takes on the modern assassins!
if you reblog this please dont tag it as a ship! i am p fiercely defensive over my mlm/wlw solidarity duos
when shaun described discovering the templars i pretty instantly assumed it happened when he was like 14? ish? and frankly the idea of 15-year-old rebecca, pre-temporarily leaving the assassins to go into extreme sports and thus having no outlet, having to deal with 14-year-old shaun, Shaun But 14, is the funniest fucking thing i can possibly imagine so i refuse to give it up
we don't talk enough abt the fact rebecca is canonically a year and a half older than shaun. its one of my absolute fucking favorite facts. every time rebecca tells shaun to get off desmonds ass she's doing it as a big sister. a babysitter. a very low level camp counselor. how bitter do u think he is abt it
i like to think shaun is The Reason that rebecca went into extreme sports - not the reason she liked it, but the voice that said "you know if you dont WANT to be a fulltime assassin that's like. ok. and it was kinda shitty you were raised to think otherwise."
i actually generally think that rebecca being raised in the assassins, leaving, but still being sympathetic and coming back to do work when she has her injury is a really good counter, not just to shauns 'came into the assassins later and is still like 80% suspicious,' but also to desmonds 'raised in the assassins but despite agreeing with their ideals cant stand them on a Personal level' and lucys 'raised in the assassins but despite liking them on a Personal level not agreeing with their ideals.' i think between the four of them its nice to get like a neatly rounded set of views on the creed as an organization
rebecca makes a history of having one night stands with shauns ex-gfs. yes this is why he is so flustered when rebecca said she 'had lunch' with kate. it doesn't actually bother him its just that she GOSSIPS abt him when she does it and shaun is that john mulaney segment abt being cheated on
the one time shaun attempted to snowboard w rebecca he nearly broke his nose. they don't talk abt it

I’m not about to say that Zukka Isn’t massively overrated and that a lot of the fans are cishets fetishizing mlm, or that Catradora is often unfairly overcriticized, hated, and overlooked (bc let’s be real, it is), but I haven’t seen much of zukka shippers trashing catradora. I’ve scrolled through both the notes of the original fandometrics post as well as the Zukka and Catradora tag for posts talking abt it so I could block the people that made them. (1/4)
But in the Zukka tag, all I could find were fans celebrating that Zukka got first with no mention of Catradora or laughing abt how Zukka placed over Zutara. And in the Catradora tag all I could find was one post and op claimed that they were joking (even though it’s really poor taste). And I’m trying to make excuses for Zukka fans, it’s just that I don’t really see this loud victorious sentiment (2/4)
that the mlm ship lauded by cishets has finally defeated the “evil” wlw. But it could also be that I’m not looking in the right places, or that I just so desperately want to not see fans of two ships that I love hating on each other. And it just feels like the main reason that Zukka placed over Catradora is that atla has a comparably larger fanbase than spop, because it’s had 15 years to gain fans, while spop has only had two. (3/4)
I understand and feel the disappointment of a far from canon mlm ship beating out an explicitly canon wlw ship, but I feel like there’s a more productive way of going about that critique than creating an us vs them narrative, and instead directly criticize the fandom culture that let Zukka thrive. (4/4)
let me. get some things straight because it clearly seems you have misconstrued parts of my post out of your guilt that you? ship zukka? or something? anyway:
i never said zukka shippers were trashing catradora. i said SOME of them were celebrating their victory, and whether they like it or not, celebrating that is not good
why is it bad to celebrate zukka being #1 ship and catradora getting pushed to #2 after roughly two months of being first? it’s because as far as i can remember, this is the first time a canon wlw ship has been number one. or any wlw ship being #1 for so long for that matter
how many times have we seen mlm ships pushed to the moon on this website? why can’t wlw ships have that same treatment? the reason why catradora being #1 felt important and special to me is because it is essentially. a celebration of love between two women. that it can be that valued. that it can be that incredible. that the dynamic between women can be so good! so powerful! that it doesn’t have to involve men, and that IS special, and that IS important, and to be knocked down by a mlm ship again... its just not a great feeling!
but like i said. that in and of itself is. whatever. who cares y’know? we still had a good run. but it is insensitive to see Any zukka fans celebrating the win!! because your win came at our expense! at the expense of all wlw who were so happy and excited to see a lesbian ship be the number one ship on tumblr! and honestly, what is so important about zukka being #1? i’m not saying anyone is bad or problematic for shipping them. i myself think they are cute and that their resurgence is a great foil to all those old het ship vs het ship wars. but did you need this win? did you need zukka to be the number one ship? 
if you are a wlw, either you see the importance of a canon wlw ship being popular and widely celebrated, or you do not care enough about other wlw who feel this way. if you are not a wlw, you shouldn’t even be involved in this conversation and should just. listen. to how painful it has been. and to acknowledge that ur mlm ships don’t need to be number one for you to be valid or whatever. if you’ve been on the internet, you KNOW how dominant mlm ships are
yes. i know how popular atla is. i love the show. i know how long it has existed. i watched it as a kid. i’m not throwing a fit because people dared to enjoy atla and find happiness and comfort in its characters and the fun and potential they see in zukka. i am not asking people to stop shipping zukka or to stop making zukka content, nor am i asking them to switch over and make catradora content instead. i’m not trying to start an “””us vs them””” mentality! and i have criticized the fandom culture that let mlm ships thrive while wlw ships got the short end of the stick! 
keep this in mind: i am not against zukka. i do not hate all of their shippers, or even in general. i am not calling any of them out for trashing catradora, because i don’t think many of them are trashing catradora, and frankly, i do not care. but is it really necessary for any of them to celebrate this like it’s a victory? like it’s at all monumental and not in fact a disservice and loss for wlw? who just want ships that reflect our identities to be treated with the same love and reverence and given the same hype?

toriel or sans for the ask meme!!!

ahh yay u reblogged that ask thing i was hoping u would. ok so. yue/yueki (whichever ud prefer!), azula, bakoda :)
omfg leo <33 this makes me happy ok buckle up for a massive post
yue
how I feel about this character
when i first watched avatar i didn’t rly get her,, like i couldn’t get invested,,
but the more i think about her the more i love her
she is so kind,, so good,, deserves the world,,,,
all the people I ship romantically with this character:
sokka (not to be heterosexual but they were rlly cute onscreen okay)
suki (the vibes!!!!)
katara (moon <3 and <3 ocean <3 gfs <3)
my non-romantic OTP for this character:
yue x a long, happy life leading the northern water tribe and smashing the patriarchy
my unpopular opinion about this character
i can’t think of anything because nobody ever talks about her!! she’s so slept on :(
one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
it would’ve been cool if she joined the gaang,, i just love that idea sm. she would’ve brought one more braincell too and they Need That
my OTP
probably yuetara bc i just love that thing where u ship two characters who are foils to each other... very good, usually gay...
but honestly i’m only just opening my eyes to the wonderful world of atla wlw ships so my opinion is yet to be solidified
my cross over ship i don’t do crossover ships lol i find it hard enough gauging whether two characters have chemistry onscreen u cannot expect me to extrapolate it across media
a headcanon fact
i think yue probably hated pakku and she was goddamn right
azula
how I feel about this character
listen i skipped this q bc i couldn’t unpack it enough and honestly later on in the post i wrote two entire essays of how i feel about azula so just read that
all the people I ship romantically with this character
nobody, she needs to heal
my non-romantic OTP for this character
azula x therapy
my unpopular opinion about this character
idk if this is unpopular exactly and it’s gonna take some explaining
basically i went into the show (bc i only watched it for the first time a few weeks ago lol) expecting that she would be a Bad Bitch™ bc everyone’s like,,, simping for her
anyway
that’s not what she is?? like at all???
and at first i did not like her and i was like why does anyone like her even a little bit she’s literally just an agent of fascism and imperialism
and while watching the finale i finally was like Oh.
she’s an abused child. and all she ever learned how to do was manipulate and fight and make war
and she literally never recieved love from anyone
i just don’t understand how you can look at her character and think “yass queen” OR “she’s a crazy bitch”
i am fervently on team Uncomfy When People Idolize Canon Azula But I Desperately Want Her To Heal
one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
realistically, her redemption/healing arc would be messy and complicated and not at all linear and hard to make into a compelling tv storyline
and any “redemption arc” that would be compelling children’s television would not be Good Enough For Me
and unpopular opinion i don’t think it would serve the story to add an addendum of book 4
so no i don’t want the atla writers to concoct an Azula Redemption Arc
but i want the characters in canon to save a little space in their heart for her 
for someone she has not directly hurt to see her circa sozin’s comet and say, “this is not the warmaking machine ozai tried his best to make, this is a deeply hurt child”
someone like iroh
scratch that “someone” shit i want iroh. i want iroh to hold space in his heart for his niece, to see that she is not a lost cause. please. you did it for zuko please do it for her
my OTP:
azula x therapy
my cross over ship
a headcanon fact
lesbian.
obviously.
bakoda (which is honestly at this point my actual otp i am fully subsumed)
when I started shipping it if I did
honestly idk? i think i got it from a tumblr post lol i was like “oh? we ship these two? excellent” and just Ran With It
my thoughts
the Old Gays vibes are immaculate. the yearning. the fighting beside one another. the raising children. perfect in every way
what makes me happy about them
that they can grow old together, happily, in their home, in a world at peace...... God
what makes me sad about them
the idea of bato just... pining... for years... the Angst
if we’re talking canonverse then i love mining bato’s injury for angst just consider the possibilities: bato feeling abandoned at the abbey... bato thinking hakoda will never love him if he’s left less mobile... bato not properly taking care of himself
i just have so many emotions about bato someone stop me
things done in fanfic that annoys me:
just straight up ignoring kya or even worse, kya slander, like,, she and hakoda were also in love 
((i may or may not have literally done that in one of my fics and still have weird feelings abt it but it was 600 words of fluff so))
things I look for in fanfic
literally ANYTHING i will read any fanfic that has bakoda as a tag, bakoda nation is all about the crumbs
but for real. the yearning. all of the pining. they need to spend years in love with each other without saying a goddamn word
also if it wasn’t clear from my fics,,, whenever a bakoda fic includes kya i Love that shit. makes me go all heart eyes emoji. i love her. i love her so much i need more kya content
bato/hakoda/kya ot3 content is so blessed,, i see bato as gay probably but i can vibe with bisexual or it can be a v configuration
who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other
hakoda with kya, obviously
my happily ever after for them
growing old together.......... just being old queer dads in love...... please i love them so much this is giving me Emotions
who is the big spoon/little spoon
bato is the big spoon he’s like a foot taller than hakoda and hakoda just wants to be Held
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
there’s a bakoda fic on ao3 where the tags “burn scar care” and “mutual pining” are adjacent and uh yeah. That.

(the the shipping ask meme) the young just us team?
(I'm doing the 2019/bendis line-up bc animated!YJ suuuuuucks, and I havent gotten far enough in the 90s YJ to form opinions but ‘19 YJ? it bangs and i love it)
lowkey ship: g o d bart/kon’s reunion? so adorable. the way they just? instantly started meshing again? tbh all of the core four’s reunions were WONDERFUL, but idk, something abt that one just? made me v warm n fuzzy 
highkey don’t: keli quintela/anyone bc she’s a FUCKING CHILD. when she grows up? i’m def open for talking next gen & age appropriate ships. but since it’s looking like everyone else is mid/late teens I'm DEF not shipping her with anyone in this group. i want STRONG friendships all around tho.
[softly] don’t: cassie/tim. i’ve read a lil of johns run and just.... yeah. not a big fan. nothing against it, but not a huge fan. I'm glad to see they still seem close here tho!
highkey ship but I'm scared of saying it because its not a very popular choice: actually I'm gonna say something controversial here bc the ones i Highkey ship and Everyone Should Know are all of the remaining wlw options. Which means m/w and mlm ships are the only thing left and..... we ALL know those are going to be more popular choices over the wlw ships. like that’s just a Sad Fandom Fact. so no matter what I would put here, it wouldn’t be ACCURATE l m a o ;-; bc all of them would still end up being more popular than my wlw yj ships. >:/
highkey ship and everyone on my tumblr knows it: literally any and all combos of the gals together? *SLAMS THE MF SHIP BUTTON* the only downside is that theres like NO CONTENT EXCEPT A FEW THINGS HERE N THERE AND I C R Y so if any of y'all wanna request some fics from be BLEASE DO BC IM NOT THE BEST SELF-STARTER WITH CERTAIN THINGS FJKDASFJ;J

flashyquirk replied to your post “who’s gonna deliver us the ballroom dance krbk au fic we deserve ”
as a lesbian i feel wlw IS required but that’sjust me
i Just realized that i’ve been trying not to talk abt my next fic on here which is going to be dual krbk/mmjr so it wouldn’t be obvious that i more meant. like. i don’t need to force myself to include more than 1 ship in a story but outside of that honestly? you’re so right there aren’t nearly enough wlw fics out there
the biggest bnha wlw ship on ao3 is mmjr which Just barely has over 1k fics and a cursory search shows a lot of the “top mmjr fics” are just other ships w background mmjr

hey whats up taz fandom can we chat
hey yall can we talk abt lesbophobia for a hot second bc it has been uhhh disturbingly prevalent lately. i just wanna preface this by saying i absolutely welcome feedback + don’t claim to speak for anyone else. if you have thoughts on this i’d love to hear them + possibly have a discussion.
so here’s the thing: there’s been an Uncomfortable amount of lesbophobia in the TAZ fandom lately in 2 distinct ways. #1 is, of course, the Lup discourse. I KNOW I KNOW you feel a creeping sense of dread at the very words but hear me out for a second.
here’s my hot take: her sexuality hasn’t been confirmed and anyone can have whatever headcanons they want without people slamming them up until her sexuality gets confirmed (if it ever does). before i delve into how lesbophobia has starred in this particular discourse, let me get something out of the way that may raise a few eyebrows at first:
blupjeans isn’t canon (yet).
 do i think it will be? yeah probably. is it as of yet? big fat nope! we know barry has feelings for lup. we know lup trusts him. we do NOT know if lup has romantic feelings for him. she told taako to trust him, she put a friendly arm around him in a portrait that she didn’t pose for that was painted before she knew he had feelings for her, and she picked up his glasses. it isn’t canon yet, and insisting that it is is dumb and a waste of time because it contributes nothing to this discussion.
Anyway! on to the main point. i headcanon lup as a lesbian. hi! what’s up, how ya doin. i’m a lesbian who loves projecting. most of my TAZ friends are in the same boat. none of us have made any posts, messaged each other, or anything of the like about disliking bi/pan lup HCs because—news flash—we don’t dislike them. we think they’re awesome. lesbians and bi/pan women aren’t “natural enemies” like some of you seem to want them to be.
but you know what i have seen? a RIDICULOUS amount of posts—a lot of them from people who aren’t even gay/bi/pan women—decrying lesbian lup HCs, talking about how much they hate them, how entitled and whiney the people who have them (lesbians) are, and like, listen. I get it. every fandom needs its opportunity to Let It Out re: hatred of the Big Bad Dykes. but it’s getting ridiculous.
if your reasoning for why lesbians can’t HC lup as gay is because she’s “been involved with/is involved with a man” (which, still, unconfirmed) surprise! that’s lesbophobic. plenty of lesbians (hi! me! what up!) have had past relationships with men due to compulsory heterosexuality. this doesn’t make us “not gay” and it super sucks for non-lesbians to try to enforce the toxic gold-star mentality that we as a community have spent so long fighting to move past.
lesbians having lesbian headcanons for characters with unconfirmed sexualities/straight characters harms no one and does not nullify bi/pan headcanons that people might have for the same character. We Can Get Along it’s not as hard as y’all are making this!
also, a lot of the justifications for trashing lesbian lup headcanons i’ve seen have included something along the lines of “all the other girls in TAZ are lesbians” “there’s a ton of lesbian representation in TAZ” “this is the PERFECT opportunity to HC a character as bi.” which. okay.
1: no. 0 characters have been Confirmed as lesbians. zero, zilch, nada. as it stands, taako is the only character with a confirmed sexuality. there’s confirmed WLW for sure! but No confirmed lesbians.
2: nope again! what is this in reference to, the side couple that’s barely mentioned or the dead ones?
3: hoo boy! here’s the thing: the other women in relationships in TAZ have been in relationships with other women. lup is the first to be implied to be involved with a man. none of the canon WLW in TAZ are canonically confirmed lesbians. there is and has been nothing stopping anyone from HC’ing sloane, hurley, killian, or carey as bi or pan. if lup is “the perfect opportunity” because she’s maybe involved with a man and you’re subconsciously making that a prerequisite for Good Bi Rep, that’s a You problem that you need to unpack on your own without dragging lesbians into it!
if you can tweet all day about how lesbians allegedly think lup being with barry is “not queer enough” (no one alive has ever said that and also that’s its own special flaaaavor of lesbophobia, so thanks) but you automatically consider a woman whose only canonically shown relationship was with another woman to be a lesbian, that says more about you and you should probably examine that before you project your weird insecurities onto your imagined Enemy Dykes. i know it’s easy to impulse hate us, but here’s a thought: Fucking Chill Dude
Alright!! onto the second Big TAZ Lesbophobia: objectification!!!!!!!
let me set the stage. eh-hem.
Years ago, lesbians in fandom said “Gee, I wish people would stop ignoring us!” And the monkey paw curled one finger, and the TAZ fandom was born.
i see posts Every Goddamn Day about how the whole TAZ fanbase are toxic homophobic fetishizers of MLM and to an extent i understand where that anger comes from because MLM fetishization is a pervasive issue in fandom (though the specific Issue addressed in most of those posts makes me fall asleep instantly because it isn’t even deep enough to drown in). but the thing that really gets me is that the authors of those posts—and like, a good 80% of the fandom in general—objectifies WLW to an OUTRAGEOUS extent and it is honestly hilarious for them to be getting on a soapbox about how shipping certain characters is homophobic while perpetuating almost that exact issue with WLW as their puppets.
i don’t know when lesbians and having a new wacky ~cute~ f/f pairing (between characters who have never spoken and never will) every hour on the hour became the Hot New Trend, but as a lesbian, It Kind Of Fucking Sucks Guys!!! we aren’t dolls. we aren’t your Pure Soft UwU playthings that you can jam into any pairing you want to make wildly OOC art of them braiding each others’ hair in the moonlight or whatever. if you’re a nonlesbian/non-WLW and you have 18 ships with the same 4 girls or you reblog posts like the “luptroth is the new ship” post (altho hey at least those two have fuckin Spoken), You’re A Fucking Geek and Very Annoying and i also probably feel unsafe or at the very least uncomfortable with you!
instead of pouring your energy into f/f crackships (get off your high horse, you aren’t ‘creating representation,’ you know damn well that isn’t how that works) maybe you could create some more fucking content for the two (2!!!! one of whom is UHHH dead!) canon f/f ships that we have—*spongebob “AND LIVE” voice* AND NOT AS THE BACKGROUND PAIRING TO A M/M FIC!!!!
also, quick note before i finish, stop using the futch scale to refer to nonlesbians/if you aren’t a lesbian you freaks it’s For Lesbians. bye
