9-1-1: Lone Star - Favorite Fandom Moments

Thank you @thisbuildinghasfeelings for coming up with this lovely idea, and for the tags @everlastingday @reyesstrand @carlossreaders @nisbanisba @tellmegoodbye @heartstringsduet @firstprince-history-huh @bonheur-cafe @carlos-in-glasses @chicgeekgirl89 @herefortarlos!

I haven't been part of the fandom for long; I joined somewhere at the end of October 2024, and I still consider myself new. Sometimes, I feel a little like an outsider, which has nothing to do with you all. You have been wonderful and supportive, truly!

Discovering Tarlos and Fanfiction

While I joined in October, I actually discovered 911LS in April 2024 when I, feeling bored, decided to type 'gay' into my Disney+ search. I wish I could say I saw a clip somewhere that made me look into 911LS, but nope, it was just me typing 'gay.' Who would have thought that I would fall in love with Tarlos and the whole bunch? Not me! I have never felt this way about any movie, TV show, or book—never. I binged the first four seasons and then rewatched them all right after finishing. Around July, I started wanting more. Now, I knew fanfiction existed; I just never got into it and never had the drive to read fan-created content until I came across a post on Reddit about Tarlos fanfictions. Missing Moments by @paperstorm was right there, and thus my Ao3 journey began.

Writing My Own Fics and Joining Tumblr

After reading various works, I started wanting to share my own. I had never written anything more than a couple of pages of random scenes, but I had this very clear idea in my mind for a Tarlos fic, so I just tried writing it. English is not my native language, and it was my first time writing a story in English, so my anxiety was through the roof when I decided to post the first chapter of Weep Not for Me. I kept telling myself that it was okay if people didn't like it, but then people did like it! I was elated at how welcoming the fandom is, and while Ao3 was great, joining Tumblr was the icing on the cake.

Now, she doesn't know this (I think), but the main reason this account even exists is @nisbanisba. I recognized her from Ao3, formally made an actual account, and followed her on here. Thanks to her, I got to connect with so many people! I'm always amazed by how different this corner of the internet is from my past experiences—how nice people are, even to newcomers and strangers like me.

Watching Season 5 Live

It's such a great experience to read everyone's thoughts about an episode as it airs for the first time! The reactions to scenes, the comments that add depth or make me notice things I otherwise wouldn't have, the theories, and, most of all, the giggles over shared moments like Owen heroically galloping on Thunder or TK's birthday party—so many moments that I would have otherwise experienced alone, in my own bubble, but instead I enjoyed in the dead of night at 2 AM with so many of you. Special thanks to @tellmegoodbye and @ironheartwriter for the Discord server that allows me to catch these last episodes (the link I used to use stopped working, but they saved me). While it's too soon for the show to end, I'm glad I got to enjoy this last season of a show that means so much to me with everyone here.

The show may be ending, but the characters will always remain, and I hope that most (if not all) of you will continue to share this love for 911LS—whether through gifs, fics, art, music, or anything else. I know I will.

I'm not sure who has or hasn't done this so, I'll leave an open tag!

Pt.9

For the first time in her life Lydia shut up.

She was sitting in the middle of the room while everyone else was frantic around her.

"How can this happen? How does he even know she exists!"

"He must be in our minds that's it!"

"He wasn't supposed to come till 1995. We had time!"

"Yeah well obviously we don't!"

"I don't care about the facts I want my daughter safe!"

The room is silent.

"Oh my god." Dustin is the first to start.

"Your daughter?!" Lucas squeaks.

Eddie raises his hand. "Yeah um, mine too."

"WHAT!" Mike roars.

Robin is giggling, Nancy is shaking her head while smiling. Everyone else looks generally unsurprised.

"Relax dipshit," Max says. "People have children all the time, including gay people. No big deal."

"Well it's just-"

"If you think Steve ending up with Eddie is the biggest surprise and not that there's a time traveler in your living room you're even stupider than I thought. I can't be the only one who thought they were already dating." Everyone else nods their head in agreement and that seems to be the end of that.

"Back to planning," Nancy starts. "Lydia knows how the first round went. If Vecna knows everything we've discussed then you can't know anything else. We have to treat this as a two-way camera. Only the bare bones."

"But I can help!" Lydia argues.

"No Lydia, you've already told us everything you know. You are no longer a part in this plan. For your safety and ours."

The two engage in a staring contest. Lydia is the first to break away with a huff. Leaving the room in a flurry.

Eddie trails after her.

"Hey! Wait up!"

He finds her outside on the porch, her face in her knees. He sits next to her giving her room to breathe.

"What's going on munchkin?"

"I'm no use to anyone! I don't even know why I'm here. I'm useless. This is life or death and I'm only in the way, I'm a hazard."

"No babe that's not true. You didn't ask to get possessed by the scary wizard man did you? That stupid bastard. He won't hurt you. I won't let him."

Understanding seems to pass on her face but she doesn't say anything.

"Let's go back inside huh?"

"Yeah."

---

When they go inside Lydia pulls Nancy aside. "Can I talk to you? I know why I was brought here."

---

"Ok so the plan is," Nancy has a large sheet of paper on the table, she has little monopoly pieces representing everyone and a large marked she's drawing little connecting lines with. Lydia and Eddie were sent to do something, anything but be involved. Eddie would get caught up later. He didn't want to miss the chance to babysit his daughter.

"El will be our manpower. The kids will be sent to the Creel house to burn the body like we did." She gestures to Steve and Robin. "This time he won't get a chance to heal."

Robin and Steve are looking at her for their next instructions. "Robin you're with me. Steve, you and Eddie watch over Lydia. All she has to do is stand there and try to summon him."

Steve crosses the room in anger. "My daughter will not be bait!"

"Steve," Robin puts a hand on his chest. "Babe you know as well as I do that it's the only way to get him here."

Steve won't stop. "Why do we have to chase him down?! Huh?! Aren't we speeding up the timeline? Shouldn't we wait for him to find us?"

Nancy shakes her head at him. "Steve. He nearly killed us once on his time. This time we have an upper hand. Do you really want to see what he's like when he's had time to plan? To put Lydia in more danger?"

"You know I'd never-"

"Then trust me...it's the only way."

---

All chapters will be posted today!!!! Woo-hoo! Maybe I'll wait till tomorrow to post the epilogue idk.

[yooniesim]

I'm very glad to see this post after learning that others were harassed by this person just for banning them from a server. Learning about this situation made me have a few more thoughts, so I'll add them here, while boosting the original post.

(same cw as above, as well as mentions of csa & grooming)

First off, I'm extremely disappointed in the narrative he's tried to push now that everything else he tried didn't work- that this is an attempt to frame a gay man as a pedophile. It seems that Tianshi attempts to find any reason he can to avoid acknowledging people's actual concerns. If you ban or block him, it can't be because of anything he did- it has to be that you're homophobic, or racist, or just a bad person. It's impossible to be uncomfortable with him or his lack of boundaries- if you are, you're morally Wrong. It's a self-centered and entitled viewpoint. He's completely ignored that pretty much every person that's been uncomfortable with him has been queer, trans, and/or masc themselves. For me, it has absolutely nothing to do with him being gay or a man, and everything to do with a) not having proper boundaries or responsible tagging skills, b) being extremely hostile to csa survivors that express any discomfort or simply ban/block him silently, and c) refusing to admit fault in any sort of way or try to improve even a little. This is a man that lacks respect for others and seems to be unaware of basic decency.

I'm very surprised that this is the narrative that several simblrs have decided to throw themselves behind. I was under the impression that the sims community was very against the simulated exploitation of children- several large sims discord servers have extremely strict rules regarding mods of this nature, despite the content being fictional. I wonder, then, if these simblrs defend colonelnutty and magicbot the same way that they are defending yin shimo? Do y'all believe that they're being unfairly shunned for their content involving sims children? That they're simply being prosecuted in a homophobic manner? Or is it because these incidents are entrenched in hentai/anime culture that makes it okay? Is it okay because fictional japanese children are Other and simply don't squick you as much to see sexualized as children that Look Like You? Or do you just not like CN/MB anyway so it's easier to condemn them? Please explain.

That being said, I personally never wanted this to be about ship discourse or some kind of anti-kink discussion. That in itself would be hilarious for anyone that actually knows me- I tend to not care about fiction, and I have quite the laundry list of kinks. But it's because of that fact that I'm very strict about tagging and posting that content. None of my followers here know about any of that because this is not a strictly 18+ blog, I tag anything that could be considered nsfw appropriately, and my patreon is not 18+ either. I'm going to keep that content labeled and/or separated appropriately because, shocker, I'm a responsible adult. Tianshi did not, and still doesn't, take measures to make sure this is the case with his content. Because he doesn't believe he has any problems to address. In his immature way, he thinks it's everyone else's problem and he's doing everything right. And that behavior is what concerns me more than the fictional content itself.

(extra cw: description of past csa/grooming in the next paragraph)

When I was a child- around 11 years old- I had abusers that were in the 19-21 range. They exposed me to hentai, to l*licon and sh*tacon, and normalized it to me in order to draw me into sexual conversations and roleplay with them. They justified it as it being fictional and compared it to the regular anime that I loved, as if me being picked on for being a nerdy little kid was the same as them being "picked on" for their hentai. They would get extremely angry with anyone online that criticized them for how open they were with that content, they would attack them, and I would too. I didn't understand why everyone was getting so mad at the people I liked, that paid attention to me, over something that wasn't even real. It took me years and several good friends to realize that the things I was talking about in polite company- because it was normal to me- were not okay. That I was instinctively pushing my peers into sexual conversations without realizing I was crossing lines. I had to learn boundaries on my own because adults online didn't give enough of a shit to have any with me. Knowing that I was a child willingly participating in that type of content either made it more sexually satisfying for these people, or they simply did not care. These people were men and one woman, and yes, the men were gay/bi (the woman was straight, I think). Shocker, but being gay does not exclude you from being an awful person. It doesn't have a correlation with being a pedophile, but they do fucking exist. So get your heads screwed on and don't automatically jump to homophobia because this dumb fucker happens to be gay. It just makes you look like a reductive moron.

But back to the point... since then, I can easily recognize that same behavior. That's why this whole situation bothers me so much. I will distrust ANYONE that refuses to responsibly separate their kinks and attacks others for being uncomfortable or wanting boundaries with them. I will distrust anyone that laughs at csa survivors and calls them prudes and morons and assholes just for banning/blocking the person in question or asking them to tag properly. It makes you a fucking terrible person even if you aren't "a pedophile". The fact that this guy has had this many incidents with so many people over the years- from tumblr, my server, and now another server- makes me even more confident than banning him was the right call. And I think it was the right call for the occult server as well. They didn't deserve to be bullied and harassed for banning him. There was no witch hunt by one person- whether that simblr was referring to the anon or to me, I'm not sure- and framing it as such is irresponsible and callous. Multiple people came to me, and to the mods of this server it seems, but you know why they're not speaking out? Because they're scared of being attacked. They're scared of being harassed like we have been, and they're afraid they'll see simblrs they like defend the person they're scared of. But I'm not, and never have been, scared of lil Tianshi or whoever his friends are. (Frankly I haven't heard of most of them so I can't even comment on them) I'm going to stick to my morals no matter what. And those aren't (as much as Tianshi likes to frame it as such) anti-kink or prudish. They're in favor of healthy and appropriate boundaries, and of safe, sane, and consensual.

Hopefully, I won't have to say this again. And hopefully, no one else will be attacked by this weirdo or his mindless mooks any time soon. But if anyone is, I've got your back, and I'm glad to talk if you need it.

so, why did I delete my old blog? The short answer is I banned yin-shimo/tianshi88 from my now defunct occult simblr server and his friends proceeded to spin a narrative on tumblr that was false. In the moment it was not worth it to me fight back, but I am back and I am fighting for what I think is right–sharing what happened and why we chose to ban him in the first place. 

If you want the full details, I am going to lay it out under the cut but bare with me, I have never had to defend myself like this, and never thought I would. You can view this as drama or whatever, idc. I just want to say my peace and not have to think nor talk about this ever again.

Also, do not harass the mods if you know who they were. Do not harass anyone shown in the screenshots, they are only shown here for transparency sake. 

cw: homophobic rhetoric, harassment, sexualization of a minor mention

A few months ago I made the occult simblr, baby! discord server. It was public so anyone could join and there was no way for me to guess how many people would end up joining! (Almost 80!) I am thankful for the learning experience but it ended on a sour note. 

One of the users who joined goes by tianshi88/yin-shimo, a known cc creator in occult simmer circles, but to be frank, I was completely unaware of this person until yin-shimo joined my server and occasionally talked.

Some time goes by, and one of the mods suggests we create a server blog to reblog our users’ content! I say yes. It was a good idea, but an anonymous ask came in (screenshot below). This is where things go south. I made the call to reply publicly, which I regret, but only because a few people made it way more trouble than what it was worth.

So let's talk about the claims and what we (the mod team at the time and myself) found out—the initial post by yooniesim (link to his post about it, which he gave me permission to link here!) The allegation is about sexualization of a fictionalized minor in the anime/manga Blue Lock. Yin-shimo himself claims this pose is done by the character in the media itself. The character in question is a teenager. I hate that I am explaining this here but ahegao is essentially a sexual pose from hentai (anime porn). It is my opinion that media portrayal of this kind of thing is weird at best, dangerous at worst. The fact that it is a reference to it is a problem in of itself, but ultimately we decided this behavior was weird (as well as his actions following the initial callout about it) and it was best to remove him from the server and we made a brief statement in the server given the circumstances surrounding it. I do not have the screenshot for this server announcement nor our reply, but nowhere did in the original ask nor in the replies we made as mods, did anyone call him a pedophile. We stated “sexualized a fictional character” because that’s what it was. 

However, worth noting there are other things he has done, which imo are worse than what I am detailing here, as referenced in Yoonie’s linked post, that added to the decision to ban him, which can be triggering to read about, so fair warning! 

The next day I considered deleting the ask of the blog to not create drama out of something serious, but I didn't before I received a reply from puppycheesecake.

I do not have the screenshot but they essentially accused us of framing him as a pedophile–this is where I became aware of yin-shimo’s sexuality/pronouns for the first time and said we were participating in a witch hunt of a gay man started by “one person” ( the anon).

My response was to delete the ask and block them. I would have responded and told them to stop lying, because that’s what they were doing. But as a queer person, being accused of that triggered me on top of everything else so I deleted the ask and the mods and I made the decision to make a second statement to tie up loose ends in the server.  We turned off anon asks on that blog, and the day after i decide to take a break, what happens?

This reblog of a shitpost on my personal blog, on a post in which I  am talking about how much I love simblr shows up in my notifications—

That was the moment I was done. You’re not going to come onto my blog with lies and try to spin a narrative when it’s very clear you are more interested in protecting your friend than what is true.

most of the mods, including me, are trans/queer, so fuck off with that “gay man is a pedophile” narrative that you’re weaponizing. 

I didn't know yin-shimo’s pronouns nor sexuality, nor did it come up when the mods and I made the decision to ban him from the server.

This behavior is childish–something like this should have never happened in an 18+ server, nor should this have turned into drama, and yet here we are. 

As for “only one person” (as referenced by puppycheesecake)—once we made the call to ban him, several people came forward to tell us his presence made them uncomfortable in the server, so I think we made the right decision in the end. 

Ultimately, yin-shimo is upset he has to face consequences for his own actions and used his friends—neither of which were in the server—to do his dirty work. 

I regret answering the question publicly but I am not sorry for banning him, nor will I apologize for what we did not do–which is what is alleged in what context I have provided. I am going to reiterate that not once did the mods call him a pedophile. 

To everyone else, it is up to you how you want to curate your online space and who you want to interact with. I am not making that decision for you, but hopefully this clears things up.

I was super excited when I saw your post about watching A League of Their Own. I have to ask, are you enjoying it ? Do you have a favorite character?

I FINISHED IT!!! Boy Howdy did I fucking love it, oh my gosh!

It's so hard to pick a favorite!!

I mean you've got Carson, our adorable and awkward housewife without children who just wants to FEEL SOMETHING. She wants to experience the world and know joy and adventure and freedom. She wants to see the world differently and change her stars. She wants to PLAY FUCKIN BASEBALL babe!

Then you have Max, who I truly feel is such a parallel to Carson, despite being opposites in just about every way. Where Max self-advocates and is spirited, Carson is docile and agreeable. But in many ways, they are both being wrapped up neatly in these little boxes by everyone they know and expected to fail because of their upbringing/where they came from.

Even Shirley was just paranoid from lies ppl told her I can't rlly be mad about that???? I kind of get an OCD vibe from her with the whole "believing something bad will happen if she does or doesn't do X" and the very obvious reality that her homophobia was taught is just so forgivable.

Then there's Greta. Oh My God Greta. She's like if Good and Bad Janet had a kid and she was really gay, I'm IN LOVE with her. I want her to call me Doll and Babe and slap my ass and bully me a little bit, it would be so h o t.

And WE CANNOT NEGLECT how fucking hot and butch Jo is, since we're on the topic of Greta. A woman with a fire in her soul and a passion she finally decides to hold on to. Plus the CONFIDENCE baybee, absolutely one of my favorite characters.

This has gotten unreasonably long and I know there are countless other amazing characters to showcase how and why I love them. But if I ever EVER want to post this and don't just want to spend the next ten years adding random details I loved about this show, I have to stop now and just give it to you as it is.

this blog is a safe place

this blog is safe for queers of all kinds: it is safe for gay men and lesbians, for bi and pan people, for aro and ace people, for allosexual aromantics and alloromantic asexuals, for polyamorous people, for trans people and nonbinary people, agender and pangender and genderfluid and others i haven’t heard of, for he/him women and she/her men, for cis people with unconventional gender presentation who are tired of being called ‘eggs’, for two-spirit people, and probably for someone else i haven’t thought of.

this blog is safe for people of all faiths and races and nationalities. it is safe for people white or black, asian, indian, hispanic, the natives peoples of all places, and anyone else i may have missed. for people atheist, christian, jewish, muslim, hindu, buddhist, sikh, for believers of obscure mysticisms and religions most think of as old mythology, and so on.

this blog will never condemn ordinary people for the actions of the governments that have authority over them or the religious institutions that have indoctrinated them. i have no ill will for the collective populaces or the individual people of red states and conservative nations, or common believers of historically destructive christian denominations and the like (i can’t just condemn every catholic now, can i?). some people are kind gears in cruel machines.

this blog is safe for people with neurodivergences and mental illnesses that are stigmatised and demonised even among people familiar with psychiatric ableism (is there a proper term for that?). i don’t know what many of those are but suffice it to say i’m working to scrub words like ‘psychopath’ and ‘narcissist’ from my casual vocabulary.

i will not interact with bigots or exclusionists on this blog in any way. i will never subject my followers to the sight of a debate about the validity of their existence, no matter how well i think i or anyone else can defend them. this blog will not share bad opinions for the sake of mocking them, or attempt to ‘own’ someone trying to make a point that doesn’t deserve consideration to begin with.

if it’s ever necessary, i will attempt to resolve conflicts privately, where they are not seen, such as in DMs. this is civility, not cowardice. anyone trying to get me to argue with them on a public post will be given this warning once, then blocked. (not that anything like that’s ever happened to me, anyway.)

this blog does not confuse doomscrolling for activism; it will not reblog out of guilt. there is a time and place to learn about the horrors of current events and i don’t know when that time is but my silly little blog is not the place.

this blog attempts to tag common triggers and phobias* and gets the obvious ones right sometimes, but i don’t know what i’m doing so always feel free to ask for your triggers to be tagged.

this post will be edited as time goes on, as i learn new things and i remember things i���ve forgotten to mention and i think of better ways to say what i’ve already said. this post takes suggestions. i think everyone who isn’t perfectly privileged is a little bit afraid that someone will claim to be safe and inclusive but then turn around and say “no, but not you,” when it really counts. i never want to be the source of that fear. i want you to know that you (yes, you), are safe here, and what ‘safe’ means when i say it.

*i use “#[trigger] cw” as my standard syntax for these tags

...Gosh, this post needs an update. I'll work on that.

I have a discord server for organizing my life, and one channel on there is exclusively dedicated to keeping track of shows. If I were this organized about my research, the book would be published already. Oh well.

☼ Currently Watching (Binging)

Previous seasons of Take Guy Out Thailand (yt). Not only is it gay and stupid and a great way to listen to unscripted colloquial Thai, but Lek Davika is one of the podium leaders <3 Downside is almost no subtitles, but it'll really bootcamp your listening skills.

Merry Queer (gaga). After His Man finished airing last week, I went looking for other gay reality shows and found this. Obviously it's meant mostly to educate straight viewers, so it's very gender theory 101 and all, but you do get to learn a decent amount about queer history and culture in South Korea, which I found interesting. Plus, the stories are incredibly sweet.

☼ Currently Watching (Airing)

180 Degrees Longitude (gaga). This is excellent. I'm worried about how it will end because it's serious gay media, so it might be tragic. It's not protected by the bl/romcom genre conventions. I hate sad endings, so prayer circle for this one.

Minato's Laundromat (gaga). I hate age-gap romances, but this is done pretty considerately. It's a sweet, slow-paced, slice-of-life drama, and to me it's worth watching for Japanese practice.

In a similar vein, Takara to Amagi (gaga). Again, it uses a lot of tropes that I hate (infantilized uke, oh no sex is terrifying/so sorry for having a libido, we would rather die than communicate clearly, etc.). But Japan produces relatively little bl, and it's always short, so I just watch it anyway. I need listening practice and I refuse to watch anything hetero. They need to put out a second season of Rea(L)ove, with more queers this time.

Returning to Thailand, The Eclipse (yt). I like it well enough so far. It's weird to try to see First as a high school student after Not Me, but he's a delight to watch regardless. I like that GMMTV is producing this subgenre of queer-directed anti-establishment bl. Very cash money of them.

Vice Versa (yt). I'm trying y'all, but I just don't like this one very much. It's much more in GMMTV's normal mode: cute but sexless, and without much of substance to say. Which is fine obviously, romcoms don't need to say anything. Make as much gay cotton candy as you want. So long as someone else is making KinnPorsche, Not Me, and the Pornographer, I'll be happy.

Love in the Air (yt). I've actually only watched 1 ep of this, but I'll catch up eventually. I know everyone clutches their pearls about how problematic MAME's stuff is, but I've honestly never thought it was as bad as all that, and at least it's not boring.

☼ Rewatching:

I'm not rewatching anything at the moment. It's been a few weeks, so I might take KinnPorsche for another spin. I've also been thinking about rewatching Bad Buddy, just to try and figure out what everyone's so into. I mean I enjoyed the show when it aired, but to me it was just more GMMTV normie fluff. Perfectly nice, but forgettable. People are still posting about it though, so maybe I should give it another chance?

☼ Looking forward to

Be On Cloud's new movie. I have watched that trailer 900 times and I will watch it again.

The announcement of KinnPorsche season 2. Come on, Be On Cloud, I know you got me. Don't leave me hanging.

The Cherry Magic movie. Speaking of cute and sexless fluff. Whatever though, Kurodachi can give me diabetes for all I care. I just wanna see them live happily ever after.

GAP the series. Woahhh, lesbians.

tagged by @strideofpride

Rules: List all of your WIPs and tag as many people as the WIPs and whichever fic you (followers/anyone reading this) find interesting, you can ask about it and I'll either tell you about it or post a snippet or both!

(The first section of this is the gg stuff, near the end is the Other Fandoms—either way, I have more WIPs than tags, so…)

The last having gay thoughts fic: this is the Serena one! It’s really an excuse for me to talk about my complex thoughts on Serena’s relationship with her sexuality and with the idea of being in the closet and, also, some derena being supportive of each other’s Healthy Adult Endeavors

Something entitled “?????” in my docs: it’s about Nate having a post-things nightmare, but really about the way that everything ch*ck does in canon is just. Fine somehow, and about what it means to continue to have a relationship with someone who hurts other people and to ignore what they’re doing, and I’m just stealing Nate so I can scream.

The pre-series crossover au: pll and gg both start with a gap year and a missing blonde, and so somehow that means that Serena is in Rosewood instead of in Connecticut

The sequel to the dair single parents fic: if I’m being honest, I should probably call this abandoned, but never say never I guess. Anyway it’s about relationship negotiations ft. A six year old and also Blair’s issues

The heroes & villains au: everyone has superpowers, no one is coping. Starring former villain Serena, baby hero Dan, local vigilante Nate, actual supervillain Jenny, and Blair and Vanessa as themselves

The one where Georgina dies: so Dan is on Milo’s birth certificate, and he and Georgina don’t have a custody agreement. Which means that he legally has a right to Milo still. Not that he really figures this out until he’s being handed a freshly traumatized teenager. Also, married queerplatonic derena and nonbinary dan guest star. (This is not abandoned, but it is on pause because of real life things that made it hit too close.)

Zombie road trip: arrowverse au! Sara brings Laurel back while shutting down the spear, and then they do a post-s2/pre-s3 road trip to star, central, and wherever Nyssa is to explain exactly what’s going on. Featuring sibling bonding, explanations for how the multiverse fits into time travel, and nice things happening to Laurel Lance for once.

Feral teenage metahumans: also arrowverse! Flash introduced the Eiling subplot, which is like… crack to me, and then never gave it a proper resolution. This is kind of that except metahumans aren’t dependent on the particle accelerator, but present under stress like in the comics. Which means the black ops guys have been active for longer and gotten their hands on more than just one, even if they did kind of escape. Also Captain Cold is accidentally the hero of Central City, and Iris West has the most intense conspiracy board known to man or God.

The imperfect vessels fic: supernatural. Au where angels leave stylized scars when they exit a vessel. Sam Winchester is kinda messed up.

The one with the Russian teenagers: mcu. Nat defects a little earlier, and somehow this leads to Clint and Laura watching twenty-eight teenage assassins do ballet in their living room

Tagging: I do not know ten people. I do know @natearchie, if you’d like. Anyone else who wants to can absolutely feel free, though, I love hearing about people’s writing!

[thatpinkbetch]

I'm going to answer it this way, because I'm actually not a fan of some of those, and I've heard this is the way to do it if you don't want it ending up in the tag or the search I think? If i censor any of the ship names it's not out of malice! I simply don't want any of this to end up in front of eyes that just want to enjoy their ships 💖💖💖 if there is anyone who doesn't want to see opinions against t*d*d*ku, k*r*b*ku, or even iz**ch*ka, please don't read any further! Oh my goodness i hope this is all legible...

Anyways, hello!! Thank you so much for the ask!! I love talking about my opinion avkvmsocnaocjsoxks it also makes me really happy you like my blog 🥺🥺🥺 (I hope this answer doesn't ruin that avskvneognsocjs)

I'll start out by confirming that I'm not a multishipper. It makes me excited to see how the act of shipping itself can make others happy, but it's just not that way for me. I actually never read fanfic until I got into bnha (bkdk is just that powerful 😁😁) I'm actually...a little serious when i ship, or when i enjoy media, i analyze pretty heavily, so also, if that doesn't sound like anyone's cup of tea, i would once again recommend to stop reading and enjoy your day please!

I love analyzing characters and storylines and dynamics, but i will admit, I'm not a fan of most of the ships - not romantically. I think all the characters have interesting relationships to each other, all of the kids are great friends, and I love bonds and friendships so much 🥺🥺🥺

Those first two are perhaps the biggest, at least they definitely were the biggest when I first entered. Once i caught up, I didn't really understand the enthusiasm, but people have fun shipping, so that's nice! I think of those two as easy ships, if that makes sense? They're pretty simple, and easy to digest.

I personally am not a fan of romantic t*d*d*ku for a very specific reason; it feels weird to me for Todo to immediately fall in love with the first person who's ever shown him kindness (since his mother of course). Todo had never had any friends, nor any want for friends, obviously because of the abuse he faced as a child. Mido was his first exploration at a life outside of his father, a life he got to make for himself, it just doesn't feel right to me that he should immediately think "oh, is this romantic love? Is this the one and only for me?" Well, perhaps a teenager might think that way, but i don't think that's actually how he feels deep down, and I'm sure that's something a lot of us have to learn as we grow (I've definitely struggled with my own understanding of romance for the past 8 years). I think he still is trying to learn how to socialize and to make friends and to be a friend (and he's doing SUCH a good job!) But to immediately plunge into romance, which can be complicated, i don't think that would be right for him. I hope that makes sense! I know they're a very cute ship, which makes for fun! But again, I can be a little serious when i ship...

K*r*b*ku kind of falls into similar territory for me? Baku definitely had friends growing up, but he's seemed to always have trouble understanding his feelings and where he stands with others, causing trust issues. Kiri is really the first person he knew where he stood with, a person for him to be comfortable with and feel on equal ground, which i think is such a huge and positive role in his life, and i don't necessarily think that it needs to be romantic - for both of these, i think these relationships are incredibly important, to everyone involved, and making them romantic doesn't make them any more important!! In fact, i feel like them as friends actually can offer a more complex, interesting, and human dynamic between these characters, as sometimes people simply default to romance and then end up pushing for the same old tropes and ignore all the intricacies Horikoshi includes in his writing.

Again, I love Mido's friendship with Todo, and I love Baku's friendship with Kiri. I think these relationships are incredibly important, and friends are incredibly important. People who ship them are having fun, which is so lovely, and i hope they continue to have fun! I hope you personally find more fics about them that make you smile and brighten your day 💖💖💖

Iz**ch*ka is a little difficult, because they certainly are cute, separately and together. I thought they were cutest before Ura was told about her potential crush on Mido, when she was simply a source of bubbly energy and positivity that helped Mido open up and feel comfortable around other people. I feel though that, romantically, it's extraordinarily one-sided, and at this point, i have to wonder if they really are "end goal." End goal for shounen, of course, is hardly ever explicit ahzovndlfjsoxo but i feel like a better storyline for Horikoshi to take would be for Ura to realize that she's been confused, and these feelings haven't really been a positive experience for her. I've definitely gone through things like that as a teenager. Now, the ship can be very cute! They're basically the same person, and they're cute and bubbly! But again, it simply isn't for me.

I think Momjirou is very cute!! Of course, as a lesbian, i sense strong lesbian vibes from Momo, and strong bi vibes from Jirou, and I also saw the ship potential ever since the USJ attack - which i think, so did everyone else ahaovndofjsojfsk they're best friends without a doubt, though i have to say, i really like Kamijirou. She just makes him so soft, and he's so in awe of her, and she thinks he's so funny, I love how supportive he is of her, especially since she can be really insecure 🥺🥺🥺

I also think Ura and Tsu are very cute but another easy ship, and i kind of really like Ochamina 🥺 they're both pink and space themed, they're bubbly and energetic and kick ass, and i think they'd be super cute...

I saved todobaku for last, because, you know what they say, best for last! 😇😇😇

I've said it before, but if there was no Mido (impossible obviously, and i would never want that) then todobaku is where my heart would lie. Baku has never really been shown chasing after anyone except for Mido...and Todo, which really gets at my heart. There's a grudging respect there - very, very grudging ahakckdkfjskdk which i find very appealing! Todo is very important to Baku and he has also been able to show Baku some things about himself that he needed to question and reevaluate. Meanwhile, Todo puts up with exactly 0% of Baku's shit, which i find absolutely hilarious. It's funny to me how Baku wishes to intimidate Todo as he does everyone else, and Todo simply does not care. And Baku wants to be mad, and ends up mad that he can't be mad since Todo is a strong and worthy opponent. They just have such an interesting chemistry, there's so much friction, so much tension, and I enjoy it, particularly since they clearly should be friends, would be great friends, want to be friends, but Baku simply won't get over it 😂😂 I do prefer them as friends, but friends that are incredibly close, two people that understand each other on almost a telepathic level, two people that give each other shit while also refusing to take the other's shit.

I do agree that many people in this fandom seem to think their ship stands on some moral high ground? It could be a disconnect from the previous generations of fandom, or it could also be the growing mentality on this site that everything needs to be a battle of moral superiority, and also that what you like is part of your personality, and if someone doesn't like what you like, then they don't like you or that they think you're factually incorrect. I personally have stopped going into the bn/ha tag simply because I don't enjoy, well, many things i find there, and I'm happy with those that i follow. I've definitely seen hatred and invalidation for both LGBT ships and m|w ships, neither of which I'm comfortable with. I definitely don't go off tumblr for fandom stuff because there's practically no acceptance for any same gender ships, or any queer headcanoning, which, I'll be honest, makes me scared, as i am a very anxious person avdkvndkfje i do think it should be noted that we should be as accepting of cishet ships as we are of queer ships - no debate on this one - but again, you are right when you say that many cishet headcanons have been used to invalidate LGBT voices, and any and all allies must always be aware of this! It is much more often that queer voices are silenced, that queer ships are ridiculed, that queer shippers aren't allowed to enjoy or see themselves. And to anybody that doesn't want to be an ally... Whelp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what are you doing here ajxkvmdogjdicjsicjsodj I'm gay

I haven't really read much of anything recently, let alone other ships, platonic or otherwise, because energy has been low for me for a long time. I wish i could participate more and support all my friends and other fans, but it's been a bit of a struggle 😣😣😣 I'm so sorry! Something that I can do is make posts and analyses and metas, as those are quick and make me excited, so I'm always happy to respond to asks like these! (I say as i take two hours to write this response...)

I hope people have been taking care of themselves and remember that tumblr is really good at letting you cater to your own interests! I hope if you've made it to the end of this response that you enjoyed it, and you're not mad at me ahsovjekgjsocjwodkso if you are, that's fine, I'm sorry, I probably am really bad at social/internet etiquette and such that help you filter 😣😣

To any who are curious, you cannot change my mind ahdogmdocjdidk thank you to whoever sent this ask!!! A lot of this is a bunch of rambling I've always wanted to talk about but was frankly too scared to post! I hope I made sense and answered everything you were asking!! Please have a good day/night/life!!! 💖💖💖💖💖

I just thought about my growth and I just wanted to put it down somewhere, so y'all can ignore this cause it's gonna be long I'll be sure to tag it as #long post lol

When I was growing up I changed schools in 1st grade to a private Catholic school cause my family moved houses and the school was majority frequented by WHITE Latines (my previous Kindergarten year being a majority black catholic school, RIP Mercy you were the fucking best I loved everyone there) and got in to the new school through scholarships and grants and my parents wanted me to go there, so I was one of the few low income students in my class of like 15 students while everyone else was middle class and above. And let me tell you that shit was hellish, I was literally bullied from like 1st through 8th grade essentially because I was far more connected to Mexican culture (most of these kids were like 5 generations removed from Mexican culture their parents were like mostly white) because I wasn't pale like those cave dwellers were, and because I was poor (not to mention I had to go home and deal with the colorism of my white passing father :/). My school wouldnt do shit to help me out, only ONE of my teachers ever looked out for me and encouraged me to never be ashamed of who I was and what made me special. He influenced me to continue to draw, write, make music, etc. And don't get me started on how they felt aboug gay kids lol I suspected I was Bi around like 6th grade, I'd always known I was different I just didnt have a name for it yet. So you can imagine how it hurt to sit in religion class going over the church's ideas on gay people. So anyway, when I left that school I was so fucking elated. It was the most painful fucking 8 years of my life. There was the source of most of my anxiety and depression that STILL lingers with me today.

So when I finally got to go to public high school in my neighborhood it was THE most beautiful fucking culture shock, I was actually mad my parents ever made me go to private school. My high school was majority black and latines of color, I never once in my four years of high school felt othered or bullied. If anything the people around me we're so open, inclusivity and difference was the norm. I finally knew people who were like me but most importantly people who WEREN'T lile me: people who were poor, people whos parents were immigrants, people who were proudly brown and black, people who themselves were immigrants and refugees, people whos families were as mixed as mine, people who were gay!! I'm not saying there wasnt racism or any negative -isms, there always is, BUT whatever lil anti-black, xenophobic, homophobic, etc. stupid ass was dishing that shit out, got their ass handed to them deservedly by whoever was willing to do something about it. Those four years of high school taught me to love myself little by little and set me up for the better. And it especially taught me to stand up for OTHER people, because other people ALWAYS had my back, unlike the one friend at my old school who would pretend like she didn't see me get hurt.

But I especially owe a great debt to the black lesbians and bi women I knew and was friends with near my junior and senior year. These were girls who were fearless and self loving enough to take up space, to say I'm right here this is who I am, these are ALL parts of me and there isn't a fucking thing you can do about it. They taught me to love myself and to help others love themselves, that my same sex attraction wasn't a problem, that the bonds you make with other women but ESPECIALLY other woc are SO SO fucking special, that there is a time to speak and a time to shut up and listen, that there are times where you NEED to speak up for other people because its important that support comes from someone who looks like you, that you owe it to other people to keep your community in check if you really care about your community and theirs, that you need to take care of the people you call your friends because you never know if they'll ultimately become your family.

I owe so much of who I am today because I finally knew what it was like to have a community who knew the value of how difference can create a sense of unity and inclusion. I only ever got to this point where I am proud of my identities and proud of what I have to offer the world because I was allowed to learn and change through the kindness and love of other people who knew what it was like to live every day with the feeling of otheredness. And I'm just so so fucking grateful and I only ever want to continue to learn and to spread that kindess to other people who might've grown up hating the unchangeable part of who they are because they were raised in unsafe and uninclusive environments.
