#I'm Neutral on Ships as in I am witnessing all ships and am very likely to ship them if I continue to be shown them

[kakusu-shipping]

hi im back could you also tell me

🚫 Even if you like cradle ships, are there any specific ones that squick you or are a particular notp?

✌ Do you have any self ships that count as cradle ships? (i know you do but id love to hear about em)

Shaking you shaking you shaking you shaking you you're so good to me I am blessed with more asks

🚫 Even if you like cradle ships, are there any specific ones that squick you or are a particular notp?

Imma be honest; The meaning of Squick is totally lost on me. I understand it's use as a Ship I Personally Don't Like but the actually definition is an unknown.

I don't have any ships I could actively call out that I don't like. I'm neutral on most any ship I come across until sucked into it via exposure. If you show me and talk to me enough about any ship I will eventually be on board even if I Don't Go Here.

So while there's really nothing explicit I could call out, I guess kind of related adjacent is I don't like any Romantic ships involving The Warriors Of Hope from Danganronpa UDG. It's not Cradle exclusive, even Toy Ships between them bother me. I couldn't tell you why, though, it's just a personal barrier.

✌ Do you have any self ships that count as cradle ships?

Yes yes yes I do!!

I love a Self Insert that is just a Littol Guy and a large portion of them follow the last post mentioned trope of Littol Guy who Does Not Yet Understand there are Different Types of Love X Grown Ass Man who's full of Angsty Guilt over thinking Explicitly about an Actual Toddler

My Cradle Ship F/Os include:

Sun - Fnaf Security Breach (THE Guilt/Innocent ship)

Molayne + Sophoclese - Pokemon SuMo (actually everything's fine in this one)

Clavell - Pokemon Scarlet (Guilty one sided crush on Clavell's side)

Mr. Salvatore - Pokemon Scarlet (he's cheating on his wife with his elementary aged student)

Chesnaught - Pokemon XY (Little Prince X Sworn Knight)

Shirokuma - Danganronpa UDG (Oh this guy's a massive pervert about this)

Ginko + Adashino - Mushishi (more ambiguous on familial/romantic)

Teddy - Bobs Burgers (this one's really toeing the line here but I'll count it on themes alone)

Leuvis - The Promised Neverland (You ever fall in love with the guy your raising so you can eat him?)

Nezu - My Hero Academia (Familial? Romantic? I'm not even sure this guy can stand being around me)

Mr. Grizz - Splatoon 3 (I'm his cub I'm a clone of him I'm his boyfriend. What can't I be)

Winston - Overwatch (idk what I’m doing with this one I just think Winston deserves a littol boyfrank)

Belos - The Owl House (What if Hunter/Belos but I'm Hunter)

Some of these are because I think it'd make a fun story, and some of them are because I am a repressed Age Regressor and looking at this F/O turned my brain to baby mode. You'll never guess which is which.

au - tim sneaking out of jason's room one night at the manor and accidentally locking eyes with dick who is sneaking out of bruce's room at the exact same time, breakfast is very awkward the next morning

(i did think of having it be jason instead of tim but honestly jason has 0 shame and even less issue outing himself if it means fucking with bruce and, to a lesser extent, dick)

i'm cackling I love these types of things so much. they're so silly. sometimes we deserve mindless crack for these ships. have a *very* low effort ficlet bc this just makes me snort, enjoy <3

Dick closed Bruce's door as quietly as he could. Usually, he didn't have to sneak around when he slept with Bruce. But the temporary room Bruce had given Jason in the manor was just down the hall, and Dick didn't feel like looking Jason in the eye if he walked out of Bruce's bedroom in the morning at the wrong time.

Just because he was pretty sure Jason knew, didn't mean he needed confirmation and confrontation.

Dick had almost caved to staying in bed with Bruce when Bruce tried to pull him back down, but he kept some level of wits about him, prying Bruce's arm off of him and giving him a final kiss on the cheek before heading for the door.

The one thing Dick did allow himself, though, was wearing one of Bruce's shirts instead of his own. It was a size too large on him but smelled safe and comforting. Dick breathed a quiet sigh of relief when the door latched silently. He let go of the handle, turning around to creep off to his own bedroom in another wing.

And found himself staring at another figure.

With all of the lights off and only faint moonlight streaming through the windows, Dick couldn't tell who it was, at first. His reaction was embarrassing no matter who it was, jumping nearly a foot backward and clutching a hand over his chest.

He was a goddamn vigilante. This was just embarrassing.

The other person wasn't nearly as shocked as Dick, but they stood perfectly still, staring with wide eyes that faintly reflected what little light illuminated their face. Dick squinted, leaning forward to see who it was.

"Tim?" Dick hissed, trying to keep his voice to a whisper. Bruce had fallen asleep and if Dick woke him up now, he was never going to get the stubborn bastard back to bed.

Tim, still looking like a deer in headlights, just blinked at Dick.

"What are you doing up this late?" Dick asked. They'd all agreed to take tonight's patrol off, letting Babs, Helena, Dinah, and Zinda handle it in exchange for tackling the massive human trafficking ring in the morning with fresh eyes and cleared heads. The job was the only thing that had gotten Jason to agree to work with them in the first place. Bruce barely managed to strong-arm Jason into sleeping in the manor, with a decent amount of guilting from Alfred.

Jason, who was in the room only a few feet away from Dick. The room that Tim's hand was resting on the doorknob of.

"That's Jason's room," Dick said slowly.

Tim just nodded. "I know." He wasn't whispering like Dick was, but his tone remained impossible to read.

He just saw Dick walk out of Bruce's room. Had he put it together? It was Tim, after all. if he hadn't yet, Dick assumed he only had a couple minutes before it dawned on Tim.

"What were you doing in Jason's room?" Dick frowned. If he focused on Tim, it could keep the focus off of him for as long as possible. Dick tried to ignore how fast his heart was beating.

Tim's expression was hard to make out in the dark. "We were talking about the case." Still, his tone remained entirely neutral.

Too neutral, for Tim.

"At two am?"

"Well, what were you doing?" Tim huffed slightly when he said it, folding his arms over his chest.

He was shirtless, Dick just realized.

Shirtless and coming out of Jason's room.

"I was-" Dick stumbled over his words, choking as he tried to come up with an alibi. "We were talking about the-"

"I already used that excuse, pick your own," Tim deadpanned. Dick was pretty sure he also rolled his eyes. "I've known about you and Bruce for years, you know. You don't have to pretend."

The noise that came out of Dick's throat was almost as mortifying as the realization that not only did Jason likely know, but so did Tim.

"It... okay it has not been years," Dick's face was hot and he was glad it was too dark for Tim to see his blush. "I mean- it's been a while but not years-"

"Whatever you say." Tim shrugged, sounding unconvinced. "There have been feelings between you two for years, close enough for me."

If Dick died, right here, in this hallway in front of Bruce's door, he hoped the cause of death would be put down as homicide instead of natural causes. Because every word from Tim's mouth made another piece of Dick die inside, just a little.

"It's none of your business either way." Dick tried to stand up straight to sound more in control of the situation, clearing his throat.

"Trust me, I don't want it to be my business."

Dick would've laughed, if this was happening to anyone but him.

"What about... you and Jason?" Dick asked carefully.

Tim shifted on his feet. "What about it? I told you, we were talking about the case."

"Right." It was Dick's turn to roll his eyes. "In his bedroom, at two am, without your shirt?"

Tim stared at Dick for a long, torturous moment. A moment that made Dick agree with Tim, about not wanting to know any sordid details.

"I'm going to bed," Tim said suddenly, turning away from Dick. "Goodnight."

Dick had a thousand more questions he wanted to ask. How Tim and Jason even got together, when it happened. Last Dick knew, they could barely stand to be in the same room.

But Tim was walking away at an alarmingly brisk pace and Dick just sighed. He was too tired and mortified about his own secrets to chase Tim down for an impromptu interrogation that would just end up embarrassing them both more.

Maybe it was best for Dick's sanity if he didn't know the specifics.

Dick didn't consider how awkward it would be until he was standing in the kitchen, staring at Jason bent over a cup of coffee.

Did Jason know Dick knew? It didn't seem like he did, but he had always had a good poker face.

When Tim ambled into the kitchen and grabbed overnight oats from the fridge, he didn't even look at Dick. He seemed to be pointedly avoiding it, sitting as far away from Dick as he could at the oversized dining room table.

All while Dick couldn't seem to stop staring.

"Your cereal is going to get soggy," Jason muttered, and it took Dick a moment to realize Jason was talking to him. "At least eat it before trying to explode my head with your mind, or whatever your staring problem is."

"I'm not-" Dick stuttered. he shut himself up with a mouthful of cereal when Cass gave him an odd look.

Would she be able to figure it out just from his body language?

Dick had never fully understood the lengths her ability to read people could go. he looked away from her and stared at a random spot on the table, trying to eat at a normal pace.

Bruce was the last to wander into the kitchen. He squeezed Dick's shoulder as he walked by, making Dick jump. It was an innocent enough touch that no one would question, but all Dick could think about was the brief look from Tim before he quickly averted his eyes again.

The silence around the table was going to eat Dick alive. He started eating cereal faster.

"Oh for fuck's sake," Jason broke the tension, throwing his head back and slamming an empty mug down onto the table. "Everyone knows you two are fucking, alright?" He gestured between Dick and Bruce. "Stop being so goddamn weird about it, you're acting like there's a bomb in the room."

Bruce choked on his coffee. "Jason." He tried to sound reprimanding, but his voice was a few octaves too high.

Dick threw his hands in the air. "I knew you knew about that, but I didn't know about you and Tim until last night so excuse me for feeling a little awkward."

"You didn't know about what?" Bruce nearly yelled, spinning around to face Jason.

"Damnit, Dick!" Tim groaned, putting his head in his hands.

Jason just scoffed, pointing a fork at Bruce. "Oh don't even give me that self-righteous bullshit-"

Their argument went back and forth while Tim just rubbed his temples, muttering to himself and glaring at Dick.

Worst of all, Dick was pretty sure Cass was giggling next to him under her covered mouth.

Dick just sighed and ducked his head, dutifully waiting for the ground to open up and swallow him whole.

So much for his breakfast.

Why Looks to the Moon and Five Pebbles are family, and why Moonstone is considered a comship: An analysis of both vanilla and Downpour versions of Rain World

Hello! I know this isn't what I usually post, but this topic has been gaining some traction recently and I'd like to add my opinion to it.

This is very long so I’m adding a cut here -- Disclaimers and Discussion below!

A few disclaimers:

-> I am not going to be judging the morality of proshipping/comshipping/etc. This is solely meant to clear up misinformation, those conversations should be taken elsewhere.

-> I will be putting this in the #rw moonstone tag. As stated above, this is only meant to clear up misinformation. I do not want to be associated with the ship itself, nor do I want to offend people who like it. I'd like to put my personal biases aside and look at this from an entirely neutral lens.

-> All information is taken and interpreted from the dialogue within Rain World (copy/pasted from the wiki). I’m not going to be referencing outside material. If anything in this post has been debunked by a dev, please let me know (and provide screenshots, please. I won't believe you otherwise, lol). ***Post editing update: I used outside info once as a joke, and even then I provided a link. Is this extra? Maybe. But at least you can't say I don't know what I’m talking about.

-> Due to the fact that there is very little to go off of, I will be pulling from the same bits of dialogue more than once.

-> In character dialogue I will clarify who is speaking based on color: Quoting a Benefactor, LTTM, FP, SRS, NSH. Plain text is misc.

-> Yes, I call the 'Ancients' Benefactors.

Please, be respectful. I don't mean to start discourse, only polite discussion.

With that out of the way, we can move on.

First, I will add my reasoning as to why I believe they are siblings in the vanilla version of the game.

1) They consider the Benefactors as parental, and were (most likely) created by the same Colony of Benefactors.

" 'The Moral Argument: Five Pebbles is our Creation, and we have Parental Obligations towards him. As an Iterator, he is also a Gift of Charity from Us to The World (unable to reach Enlightenment by itself - being composed mostly of Rock, Gas, dull witted Bugs and Microbes - and towards which We thus have Obligations)'...And then there are polite farewells. None of us really miss the times when their cities were populated. Imagine having skin parasites that also ask for advice and have opinions...I'm sorry, that was disrespectful. They were our parents after all. "

- Pale Green Pearl, located in the Exterior

As you can see, it is directly stated -- not hinted at or implied -- that the Iterators see the Benefactors that created and lived on them as parental or familial figures. Why does this matter in relation to Moon and Pebbles?

" It's about the local aquifer - it must be quite old, from when Five Pebbles was in the planning phase...Building Pebbles so close to me was believed to be a risky choice, but the groundwater was finally deemed as sufficient. It was not a good decision, in hindsight. "

- Bright Purple Pearl, located in Shoreline

Here, it is confirmed that Moon and Pebbles were built unusually close together -- as we should all know. This also implies that the Benefactors of Moon's City were the ones who built Pebbles; This can be assumed as the pearl is found on what once was Moon's facility.

We don't know the intention of this choice, however, if both Moon and Pebbles consider their creators as parents, it isn't a stretch to assume they consider each other siblings as well. If anything, they are family.

This is the most damning evidence I have, so everything else is built off of this assumption that they are related in this way.

2) Moon is named "Big Sister Moon" in iterator chatlogs

I’m not going to add every time she is called this, but I will add one as an example:

" 1650.800 - PRIVATE. Five Pebbles, Chasing Wind, Big Sis Moon, No Significant Harassment "

- Sky Islands Pearl 3

It's easy to assume this is Moon's nickname, given to her by her friends (assuming her plushie blurb is a trustworthy source, lol). The nickname likely originates from her being Pebbles' older sister-figure. It's also possible that everyone in her group sees her as an older sister of sorts, however this would still include Pebbles as her brother-figure. I personally interpret the former, but that's just my opinion.

3) Sharing facilities is a metaphor for being from the same family.

***This is inspired from another user, but I couldn't find the original post to credit it. If the original poster would like to be credited via @ or a link, let me know and I will happily do so!

As proved in point 1, as well as many times throughout the game, Moon and Pebbles were built usually close together, most importantly sharing groundwater. As water is essential to the Iterators, sharing it is obviously not done without purpose. They aren't just two random Iterators next to each other -- they were put together for a reason.

Read this excerpt with this theory in mind -- makes sense, right?

" It's about the local aquifer - it must be quite old, from when Five Pebbles was in the planning phase...Water is the most important resource for our basic function. Most of our processing is outsourced to microbe strata which need a flow of clean water or else slag builds up, our processes seize, and eventually we die...Building Pebbles so close to me was believed to be a risky choice, but the groundwater was finally deemed as sufficient. It was not a good decision, in hindsight. "

- Bright Purple Pearl, located in Shoreline

This claim is arguably up to interpretation, but I still decided to include it to explain my reasoning further.

4) They have a huge age gap.

While this doesn't contribute to them being siblings, it does enforce my point of Moonstone being a comship.

" Originally water supply was very important when placing iterators. Later there would be a great equalizer - the fact that we breathe out as much vapor as we inhale water led to there being water available everywhere, and the latest few generations could be placed almost completely freely...Building Pebbles so close to me was believed to be a risky choice, but the groundwater was finally deemed as sufficient. It was not a good decision, in hindsight. "

- Bright Purple Pearl, located in Shoreline

If not self explanatory: Moon was a part of the first generations of Iterators built, and Pebbles' one of the last. If they aren't siblings, they have an age gap that potentially spans multiple generations.

I will also include quotes from Downpour, where it is confirmed.

I am aware this isn't what people are normally talking about when this is brought up, but it's important to add anyway.

Keep in mind that the original developers had a say in Downpours' release. Downpour is a Canon AU, it isn't just a fanmade mod anymore. The influence that Downpour has is undeniable, and it deserves to be included in these conversations.

" BSM: And as your Big Sis, you know how protective I am of you!~ BSM: ... BSM: I'm sorry, Five Pebbles. I'll always be here if you need someone to talk to. "

- Looks to the Moon, Rivulet ending cutscene

" SRS: She was appointed as Pebbles' superior. She has the power to stop him. NSH: I've been very close with Moon, and I can tell you she is incredibly caring. "

- Spearmaster Broadcast, Story (Gray) 6

" SRS: It was an odd situation, to be certain. It's quite rare for one iterator to be made the administrator of another. Just as rare as them being built right next to each other. NSH: His lack of appreciation used to bother me. Moon was a great big sister to him! "

- Spearmaster Broadcast, Story (Gray) 7

" GS: It's Five Pebbles - The one near Looks To The Moon. SI: Isn't she his senior, enough to the point where she calls herself Big Sister Moon? What about asking her? "

- Spearmaster Broadcast, Industrial Complex (Light Blue)

Keep in mind that these are private conversations between the Iterators -- not necessarily speaking formally, or to a lesser being, as we experience as the Slugcat. This is important later.

Now, I am going to be taking apart common arguments I see.

1) "They are only confirmed to be siblings in Downpour."

This, while technically true, can easily be argued against by the evidence I included above. Also, if they're siblings in Downpour, a canon AU, why is it such a stretch to assume it can't be the same in vanilla? They are shown to be explicitly related in Downpour, and while this isn't fully canon, why should a retcon as simple as confirming two characters to be siblings be dismissed as unimportant when discussing something as serious as incest?

2) "If they aren't canon outside of Downpour, then why is it considered incest in the base game?"

If I am wrong, and they weren't intended to be siblings in the original release, then it's at least a retcon. Yes, retcons can be annoying and inconvenient, but that doesn't make them any less relevant.

Besides, because Downpour got so popular, they were introduced as siblings to nearly everyone who's currently in the fandom. This means in fandom spaces, they are near universally considered to be siblings, whether you agree with it or not.

3) "Iterators are robots, and robots can't have biological family."

There are two things wrong with this statement -- It implies that Iterators are robots, and implies that romantic/sexual relationships between adoptive family members is not incest.

I'll start with the first claim: Iterators are never stated in game to be robots. Bio-Mechanical, yes, but people seem to ignore the "bio" part far too frequently. They are grouped with purposed organisms, stated by Moon herself:

" Do you know what a purposed organism is? Actually you are talking to one right now!Although, a small fraction of one. Nowadays I am mostly just my puppet. The bulk of me is in these walls but I am disconnected from those parts, to a degree where I am only vaguely aware of how bad their condition is. "

- Bright Magenta Pearl, located in Shoreline

***If anyone wants to hear more about this i will happily do so. I have a LOT to say on this topic.

Moon blatantly states that she is a purposed organism, directly comparing herself to a pipe cleaner slug. It's not confirmed that Moon & Pebbles are biologically related -- but at the same time, there's nothing saying they aren't. Hell, the sharing groundwater point I mentioned earlier could even tie into this.

And, no, I am not implying that a Benefactor could give birth to an Iterator, but they are still the Iterators' creators, therefore their parents. You don't have to be biologically related to be family, and in Moon & Pebbles case, they seem to consider each other family regardless of biological relation.

4) " 'Big Sister' may refer to Moon being his mentor figure."

I think this is a completely fair conclusion to come to, because they do call each other friends/neighbors more often than family.

" However, it seems this delivery was not intended for me. Everything suggests it was tailored for the specific predicaments of a friend of mine. Her name is Looks to the Moon, and her state is considerably worse than mine. She's a short distance to the east of here - much shorter than customary. A circumstance that has led to some difficulties between us. "

- Five Pebbles, Hunter Campaign

***I added the most relevant vanilla dialogue, but there are ~3 other instances (BG & DP) of Moon & Pebbles calling each other neighbors or old friends.

I personally don't think this means anything, simply the Iterators being overly formal (Remember the DP chats I added earlier?), but I see where people are coming from with this claim. Still -- with the information released in downpour, I think it should be assumed that this is either 1) retconned, or 2) just a speaking habit of the Iterators.

If anything, this claim further helps my point of Moonstone being a comship, as it would imply a mentor/student relationship.

Why am making this post?

Shipping is a very popular topic in all fandom spaces, and as a result, so is comshipping. No matter how you feel about it, there is one thing we should all agree on: Providing a warning when creating harmful content is important. Even in online spaces, people have a right to control what content they consume, and they can't have this control if we can't agree on what counts as sensitive content or not, or even worse, not tag at all.

You are not sensitive for not wanting to see harmful content, as well as you are not pure evil for engaging with this content either. As long as you are respectful and aware that this can hurt people, I truly do not have an issue. Just please, tag your posts with #sibling incest or #age gap, as that is what is canon to the game, whether you like it or not.

***As far as I know, nothing has happened as a result of this, at least not on a large scale. It is still important to mention, and especially important if I can help prevent this before someone is hurt.

I am making this because I don't want to see this become a topic of discourse in the Rain World fandom; I want to help stop it before it begins. I acknowledge that the people spreading misinformation are a vocal minority, and I hope it stays that way.

Let me clarify one final time: By making this post, I am not telling you that you should stop shipping Moonstone, nor that you should harass people that do. All that I want to come out of this post is respect and understanding. DO NOT use my words to harass ANYONE. I will not tolerate that.

Thank you for reading :D I appreciate if you listened to my yapping. I’m open to discussion, as long as you’re respectful!

Byeeeeeee :3

[emilystheories]

Regarding Elain's love life, I would happily read both an Elriel and Elucien book. In that respect, I am a neutral 'multi-shipper,' and choose to stay out of any shipping-related arguments because of it.

However, in a (hypothetical) scenario in which Elucien and Gwynriel are confirmed endgame, I strongly believe that an Elain and Lucien book would come first.

To (very respectfully) add to the discourse, there are two main reasons for this belief.

1. Timing.

In SJM's latest interview with Today, she confirmed that she is now only writing one book a year.

Then, in that same interview, SJM also spoke about the book she'll be writing after ACOTAR 5; that it'll be "emotional" for her, due to the characters she'll be writing about, and the world it's set in.

Given these hints, many fans believe this to be a Throne of Glass book.

As such, SJM's future release schedule likely looks like this:

2025: ACOTAR 5.

2026: Mysterious book (TOG?).

2027: ACOTAR 6 (or, could be CC4).

As we know, ACOMAF was released in 2016.

This means that if Elain's book isn't next, it'll be pushed back to 2027 — at the earliest.

That means that it will be 11 years — more than an entire DECADE — since Lucien first told Elain that she was his mate, and the resolution to their story.

11 whole years of waiting to see whether Elain will accept or reject the mating bond, which is undeniably one of the hottest topics in the fandom, and has been for some time now.

(To put that into context, the entire 8-book saga that is Throne of Glass was completed in 6 years... so almost half the time).

I just don't believe that SJM will further delay the resolution to the OG Elriel vs Elucien debate (and Elain's story, a character who has been featured from the very beginning) in favour of ships and characters who were only introduced in the most recent book — no matter how popular (and wonderful!) they may be.

2. If Elriel isn't endgame, then the dissolution of their relationship will need to be told from Elain's POV, not Azriel's.

Again, in this (hypothetical) scenario in which Elucien and Gwynriel are canon, these stories cannot eventuate until the connection between Elain and Azriel is resolved.

(And no, I don't believe the bonus chapter, that isn't available to everyone, is enough to 'shut down' Elriel — nor would that do justice to a popular ship that SJM has written about, in canon, for many years now).

Knowing SJM's patterns thus far, I very much doubt that she would write such a resolution from Azriel's POV. Instead, any break up of Elriel will need to come from Elain — from the woman's perspective. In the same way we witnessed Feyre process her feelings for Tamlin and Rhys, or Aelin with Chaol and Rowan.

To spin it a different way: if a Gwynriel book is next, it means that a decent chunk of Azriel's POV will be spent processing his feelings for Elain, before being able to 'move on' to Gwyn. It brings the 'love triangle' (Elain vs Gwyn; woman vs woman) to the Gwynriel book, which I really cannot see SJM ever doing. And, knowing that each couple only has one book, I'm not sure why anyone (especially Gwynriel shippers!) would actually want this.

Instead, in my opinion, the 'love triangle' has always been the point of Elain's book. Lucien or Azriel. Accepting the mating bond or rejecting it. Destiny, or a man you choose for yourself.

[art by elithien]

And, if Elain's book is next and she chooses Lucien, this is surely the best possible outcome for the Gwynriel ship, as it allows for a dedicated Azriel x Gwyn book in the future (with no involvement of Elain, or any ship war drama).

--

In rebutting these points, however, I know people will state that "Azriel has the most set-up and foreshadowing for the next book!" But to that I'd point out:

If true, this hints at an Elriel book more than anything (given SJM's ACOFAS interview, which all but confirmed that Elain's book is next).

Past character involvement isn't always a reliable indicator of future character involvement. As an example of this, most readers were convinced that Fury, Ariadne, Emile and the Thunderbirds would have a significant role to play in CC3 (given how much importance had been placed on these characters thus far), yet that couldn't have been further from the truth.

Similarly, many have also argued that the direction of the plot for ACOTAR 5 is more in favour of Gwynriel than Elucien (which is a valid opinion to have!). But I'd again suggest that this also isn't a reliable indicator, given that most of the plot of ACOSF/Nesta's book wasn't directly foreshadowed in previous books either. For example:

There was no mention of the Valkyries in previous books.

There was no mention of Gwyn in previous books.

There was no mention of the Dread Trove in previous books.

There was no indication that Nesta would ever compete in the Blood Rite in previous books, which is arguably the most pivotal event in ACOSF.

--

Of course, anything is possible, and I respect all opinions and theories on the topic. Most of all, I will happily read the next ACOTAR book, no matter which ship it features.

But, when SJM said that she thought it was "pretty obvious" who the next book would be about, I personally believe the only "obvious" choice is Elain — to continue (and conclude!) the love stories of the three Archeron sisters, before moving onto anything else.

In the context of this post specifically (and my perspective on the matter), this suggests that an Elucien book for ACOTAR 5 is the way to go.

I’m a new follower and wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your Lokius content. They are really well thought out and written. I was wondering if you have any headcanons on Loki’s time in Asgard like his relationships, any events you think could’ve happened, etc.

Hi Anon!

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your patience. I have several headcanons about Loki's Asgardian relationships based on comics canon and MCU canon.

I'm going to focus on characters outside of Thor, Odin, and Frigga, as I believe those relationships have been discussed at length by many other fans.

FANDRAL - Back in 2014/2015, I used to ship them together romantically. I'd like to think I added some depth to his character, but the truth is the canon leaves much to be desired with ONE exception. Comics canon reveals that Fandral fell into a portal that landed him in medieval Midgard where he became Robin Hood, married Maid Marion, stayed with her despite her aging while he remained young, mourned her death, and couldn't have a serious romantic affair since. I used this to flesh him out and create a healthier relationship with Loki, but I digress. I think at the very least, Loki and Fandral slept together, perhaps on more than one occasion. At the very least, they are somewhat friendly with each other. Loki saves his life in Thor 1 by throwing a dagger at a Jotun that's about to attack him; Fandral's the least hostile to Loki of the Warriors Three and Sif; in comics canon, he's the smartest/most cunning of the Warriors Three; he is the only character among Thor's closest friends to not threaten to kill Loki upon their encounter in Thor 2, and quite simply their temperaments when it comes to style, pleasure, and poetics are compatible. I think they suit each other quite well and could have made a good couple canonically if not for the fact that they are both flighty when it comes serious relationships (both due to trauma, if you take Fandral's Robin Hood backstory seriously). At any rate, Mobius surpasses him in many ways and is a wonderful character in his own right, for which I am eternally grateful.

SIF - While I don't think Loki hates Sif, I feel the same cannot be said about Sif for Loki. In Norse mythology, Loki cuts Sif's hair as a prank and is forced by Thor to magically create for Sif hair of gold. In the comics canon, Sif's hair was originally gold and Loki cutting it resulted in it turning dark brown or black. In multiple iterations of the comics canon, Loki's motivation has near-consistently been his jealousy of his brother's attention for her. Now, Sif in the MCU versus Sif in comics reads as a "girl friend" as opposed to a "girlfriend". However, Sif has a strong sense of honor and integrity, neither of which she is willing to compromise. I therefore see her constantly clashing with Loki's morally gray (at best) and outright malicious (at worst) intentions. The most traumatic comics canon experience Sif has been through with Loki was his taking over her body to become Lady Loki. That trauma left her completely untrusting of Loki's motivations even after he is reborn in the Journey into Mystery/Agent of Asgard/God of Stories arcs, despite Thor, Fandral, and Volstagg's advocating for Loki's innocence as a child. They may have been friends as children, but that friendship has long been broken. Whenever they are in the same room, it is tense.

HEIMDALL - Through the Bifrost, he is a near-omniscient guardian being who is significantly older than Thor and his peers. For this reason, I think Heimdall is generally neutral towards Loki's behavior, having witnessed all sorts of behavior throughout the Nine Realms. That said, his friendship with Thor creates a strong sense of protectiveness for him and wariness towards Loki by Thor 2. I was of the belief that Heimdall is the most serious of Thor's friends and that his regard toward Loki was not too afar from the Warrior's Three. However, the Loki series suggests he has a playful side, at least when Thor and Loki were younger. I think he may have humored Loki's antics as he had Thor's, like an uncle who indulges his nephews with an air of amusement, mild exasperation, and reserved affection. I also think he appreciated Loki's intelligence. It is a lonely duty to guard the Bifrost. I think Loki's visits and conversations lifted his spirits from time to time. Unfortunately, Odin's penchant for war and conquest, his political machinations, his deceit, his manipulation, and his favoritism toward Thor all come to a head.

VOLSTAGG - Not much is shown about Volstagg. I can say he is the oldest of Thor's friends and the only father among them. He detests Loki's cunning, and Loki detests him for his boorishness. Their archetypes are the classic "jock's best friend" and "dramatic bookworm." I don't doubt they quarreled a lot when they were younger, if Thor 1 was any indication, and that they secretly enjoyed those quarrels as much as they were annoyed by them. Like the rest of Thor's friends, lines were drawn after Thor 1 and Avengers. However, in comics canon, Volstagg defends the reborn Loki, as a child, in Journey into Mystery. Volstagg has many children with his wife and loves children generally. He provided kid!Loki with warmth, protection, and affection when many refused to give him a chance. I think God of Stories Loki would have respect and even some fondess for Volstagg because Volstagg shares some of Mobius's quirks: his love of food, his a soft spot for the small and helpless, and his exceptional devotion to his spouse (in Mobius's case, his partnership with Loki rather than his wife).

HOGUN - Hogun is the most difficult character for me to get a read on because he is just as quiet in comics canon as, if not more so, MCU canon. I can say he and Sif are likely close in personality. In my opinion, they therefore would be best friends with one another after Thor. His doubt of Loki and anger towards him come across as more muted (still waters run deep) than the others, but that does not mean it is any less passionate. He is also the toughest of the Warriors Three, the last to die in Ragnarok. In their youth, I can see him putting Loki at a distance, carefully observing him, but actively not engaging with him unless absolutely necessary.

Making myself a lil intro post to pin

Hello everyone! My name's Two (short for 217), though I'm apparently going by Saturn on this blog, which is also fine! I'm in my mid-20s, agender (they/them) and I really love cats.

I was obsessed with TFA (and Prowl, my first love) when I was 13, fell out of the fandom for a long time, and now I'm back! My husband is still beautiful as ever. He's literally shaped me as a person.

I'm getting into other Transformers media now, but I'm still new! So far I've seen Transformers One (4 times. my beloved), TFP, and I'm almost done with Cyberverse.

I'm a selfshipper and OC enthusiast. I don't care much for canon/canon ships, I LOVE making OCs and throwing them at characters I like instead. OC creation is my favorite ever thing to do so expect to see my little guys. And they are kissing my blorbos. Because I'm having fun 🧡

I'm a romantic at heart and am kissing my blorbos daily. But that said, I'm a sucker for angst and exploring dark themes, and will happily inflict pain and suffering upon characters I love and also any observer that gets attached to them <3 sorry not sorry. I am feral for dooming the narratives!

I'll list my favorite characters and OCs under the cut because I have can't-shut-up-disease and autism-fueled insanity so there's a LOT! Asks about either are always very very welcome and I will love you forever.

Lastly, this is a harassment-free zone, we are all friends here! Please take your hate and bad vibes elsewhere, if you want to police how people enjoy things, this is not the place for you. Yes, this means you, antis. Go away.

Selfships/Most Beloved Blorbos

Prowl 🧡 | TFA | the one the only, my beloved husband of 13 years and going strong. Nothing and nobody could ever dethrone him from his top spot he's so special to me. The only s/i from any fandom ever who I'm genuinely not fully comfortable sharing (it's new to me too. Sorry I'm weird about him). We are legally married. Nothing bad has ever happened to him.

D-16 | TF1 | my sweet boy my precious beloved I could have fixed him. He's my little guy. I love him. I want to hold him gently. I selfship with him but I also ship him with Orion I don't care. There are infinite universes and he has two hands in all of them. Well, most of them. He deserves to be loved.

Honorable mentions

Smokescreen | TFP | this boy is climbing up the ranks of my heart he's such a silly little guy. Every time I see him I just point at the screen like "there he is!! My boy!! You're doing amazing sweetie!" He's like a son to me. He needs so much therapy. This one's not really a selfship, but he's so special to me, he deserves to be on the list.

My favorite guys who didn't get their own blurb but they are still very dear to me. Including but not limited to:

Optimus Prime 🖤 [mainly TFP but tbh any] | Ratchet 🖤 [any] i'm an old man enjoyer | Knockout [TFP] | Wreck-Gar [TFA] | Starscream [any but TFP Star is a freak (affectionate)] | Cliffjumper [any] he's like a hamster to me | Sentinel Prime [TF1] [mmm bastard] | Whirl 🚁

OCs

Please witness my beautiful children

PHANTOM-2918-4/Phantom/Bird | mainly TFA, has a TF1 version | decepticon-turned-autobot | shipped with Prowl | #oc: the courage of stars

Ash Majors | TFA | autobot-aligned human/techno-organic | also shipped with Prowl (long story) | #oc: just to be quiet

Skyline | TF1 | new high guard, then decepticon | shipped with D-16 | #oc: all the stars will never be enough

Trixie | TF1, has a TFA version | unaligned alien creature | shipped with Sentinel | #oc: i'll be your animal

Wildside | TFA | neutral bot | shipped with Wreck-Gar | #oc: living on the wild side

Galatea | TFA or TFP | human-made bot/AI | TFA shipless, TFP shipped with Knockout but in the most angst-filled way possible <3 | no tag yet

Leo | TFP | autobot-aligned human | shipped with Smokescreen | #oc: next up forever

Briar | TFP | autobot-aligned human | shipped with Optimus (eventually) and Ratchet (even later) | no tag yet

Joanna | initially autobot-aligned human, then M.E.C.H., then decepticon/techno-organic | Briar's best friend. Not officially shipped with anyone, but Megatron/Joe is too funny a concept to pass up. It would never realistically happen. Doesn't stop me though. | no tag yet

Livewire | TFA, maybe TFP | autobot | shipped with Ratchet, best friends with TFA Longarm (what a nice guy!) | #oc: like a pulse

Bluescreen | TFA | decepticon | shipped with Lugnut (one-sided, pathetic) | no tag yet

Havoc | autobot | shipped with Whirl | no tag yet

Other tags

#two talks | general tag for my posts

#two draws | art tag

#answered asks | self-explanatory

#oc ask game | ask game related stuff

#ask game reblogs | just the games <3

Do you think the byler fandom being majority female was a part of the reason why there is such a large backlash to spicy bylerism? I feel like if there were more gay and bi dudes, there'd be more tolerance and understanding of male sexuality beyond the cute romantic side of things. Also, I don't know the makeup of straight girls vs. lesbians vs. bi girls on here, but I'd imagine some lesbians might be a bit uncomfy with explicit sexual topics related to byler

Hmmmm I wouldn't necessarily go with that as the reasoning. We have to acknowledge statistics and traditional fandom demographics - fandom spaces where things like fanart and fanfic are the focus have kind of always skewed female? Am I incorrect? But those are the things I sought out in fandom, the art and the writing, creative outlets (alongside fighting with people on reddit and twitter haha which I don't do anymore!!)

Look at Steddie for example. There are currently 28k fics out of 94k Stranger Things fics. Around 29% of the fics in the fandom are that pairing. And almost a third of those fics are rated E. Wow!! Compare Byler. 11.5k fics. Only a mere 6% of the fics are rated E. I'm going to assume that the Steddie fandom is predominantly female as well as the Byler fandom????

I think it's an age/generation thing to be honest. I could be very well wrong. Unsure why the Byler fandom does skew lower, and that's totally fine, but from my observations, the people I've seen the most vocally anti-sex in media and in fandom tend to be teens/early 20s. Even if I know a bunch of Byler fans are older, but the vocal ones have skewed younger. Could be just what I've personally witnessed, but anyone let me know if I'm off base here?

And also the silly mindset that also coincides with the age trending possibility - with Byler being younger characters and the current backlash against all of that which was never present in the past. Not to bring up a fandom we all probably want to forget, but the HP fandom was huuuge for years, right? Those were high school age characters, infamously with tons of E rated content, to excess. A personal note, I got into fandom stuff through my older sister, and HP and anime were her big things. I know some of the fandom lore haha.

I do think if there were more bi and gay dudes who were vocal and into fanart and fic (we are out here though!! we just may not announce it! I sometimes played neutral over the years!), that strong personal convictions might combat the anti-sex and spicy or E rated content contentious people. That's why I'm glad to have started over and started fresh and honest here. Because I'm gained a backbone in this fandom now? I'd love for some silly anti person to try to tell me about myself, using my own sexuality against me when they're supposedly propping up a gay couple as a hobby interest through a fandom, but judging those who are interested in authenticity and the full spectrum of what relationships and 'shipping' means in fandom. Like. How dare. Hahaha.

To be honest, I'd just delete the comment or ask and they wouldn't get a chance at attention.

(PART 1) "Ursha"

Human reader on a space team with larger, scarier, and stronger alien teammates

Notes: SFW, platonic, fluff, reader has a neutral-polite-sweet personality. (The reader doesnt talk in this one but will later) THIS IS VERY INFO-DUMPY WITH LONG CHARACTER EXPLANATIONS. Not proof read, sorry for any mistakes. I'm posting this at 1 AM.

I didn't have a better word for it than "space team" but basically its just like a group of astronauts who do stuff like transport supplies. Space truckers lol. Also my FIRST like, fic basically.

-------------------------------------

Some of your crewmates aren't exactly on friendship level with you, but they're all mature and professional at the very least- you do not want drama on an isolated spaceship in the middle of literally no where. (At least, for the most part)

But, the ones who do care about you (at least a little) are:

Ursha- introduction Not her real name, but a nickname she presented to you on your first day meeting her. Speaking multiple languages is a must for this line of work, but theres plenty of different translators to make it work as well. Apparently, its the closest sounding thing to her actual name- while also being a bit shorter. You haven't done much research on her species, but apparently although they are physically capable of more structured speech, their language consists of guttural sounds and whining. You haven't heard her speak it, but maybe one day she'll let you.

Ursha isn't exactly a teddy bear. She has a stony, matter-of-fact personality. She's about 7'6", with semi scaly red skin that dapples into a deeper shade on the tops of her strong arms (which she has 4 of) and down her forehead to the end of her nose. Her face is similar to a predator from the predator movies, but with a slightly different mouth. More like a mandrill, but wider and generally thicker. Your other crewmate, who's quite the bookworm, has noted that Ursha is actually on the smaller side of her species average. She has straight deep red hair, tied back. You have never seen her hair down.

END OF INTRODUCTION

The first day you and Ursha met, she was seemingly unfazed, but looking back as you know her now, you realized that the minimal eye expressions showed that she was quite taken aback. The shorter you are, the more shocked she is. If you're below 5'8" this woman will not be able to understand how you won't get crushed by the slightest hazard. A shipping crate wasnt strapped in properly and its bindings snap? Smushed. Mild turbulence and you fall off the loading dock platform? Splat. Space pirates hijack the ship? The end of you. She eventually realized you were less defenseless than you seemed, especially with your gear, but she still tends to underestimate your ability. You know it comes from a good place though, and sometimes it almost feels sisterly. If you try to take on a heavy load she will seemingly materialize behind you and effortlessly take part of it. If other crew mates comment or even tease her about it, she will respond that you are simply ambitious and shes being responsible by keeping you from being OVER ambitious. Her delivery is completely neutral, not passive aggressive, not compassionate.

If you get injured she also seems to have a habit of suddenly appearing. She seems quite stealthy and fast for someone of her height and bulk. One time you had quite a bad fall- Although it was just tripping over yourself in the hallway- you managed to do a weird spin in attempts to steady yourself only to twist your ankle when you finally fell as your foot caught on your other leg. Along with landing on your knee and then elbow. That was not a fun day. Upon witnessing the horror of your baby giraffe-like movements and the gruesome finale, several crew mates- Ursha included- rushed over to make sure their small human teammate didn't just die. Two of them split off to alert the medic, while Ursha and one other crew mate stayed beside you. After the initial shock, you were left just stewing in a puddle of embarrassment and bodily pain. You felt a large hand gently hovering against your back, seemingly trying to comfort you while being afraid of breaking you even further. Like someone holding an injured bird. It was Ursha. The other teammate talked to you and both of them gently rotated you into a sitting position. At this point the other crewmates and the medic were arriving.

You were carried to the med bay where your foot was wrapped. You were advised to stay down for a couple days if not longer. After you healed, Ursha would always ask how your foot was when you both started work that day. And then every day. For like a year.

[mothheart-ships-archive]

So I think I'm coming to a decision and here's what I want to say:

I am choosing to be neutral. I do not want to take sides, and I don't really wanna be involved in discourse and see people say that someone should die or something. That's wayyyy too hard for me, as someone who has lost someone close to me to suicide, and has witnessed many more crack under the opinions of people who don't even know them.

More under cut.

I come from a fandom where darker topics are roleplayed all the time, but the people there agree that certain topics are yikes and do not support them irl. We agree that characters intentions, thoughts, opinions, etc. do not equal the intentions, thoughts, opinions, etc. of the roleplayer; the fandom source is dark, and it allows us to explore darker themes, angsty plots, and interesting stories. We recognize that some stuff just isn't our cup of tea so when engaging with each other we don't engage in those topics!

Additionally, I think characters and ships and narratives all rely on the source and CONTEXT they are based on.

Another example: It's like cancelling George R.R. Martin for writing about war and murder and incest and rape in Game of Thrones. These things, unfortunately, happen, and exploring them in fiction is normal for a lot of writers and they are still able to admit that these actions irl are wrong. And yet Martin is not cancelled. People who are not comfortable with these topics don't watch the show nor read the books. People who do engage with the media make ocs and ships with murder and darker themes as it is within the realm of belief for the source. It does not mean that they, nor Martin, support rape or murder or incest.

This. This is what I'm understanding of Proship at the very least. I do not know enough about comship as it is a new label that I'm not as familiar with and I am still struggling to understand it. I think it is VERY important to be critical about the media you consume, to question themes and the creators is healthy, but I do just as genuinely believe that people can explore darker themes without actually endorsing it irl. THAT is the most important thing to me. If someone is prancing around saying they whole heartedly wanna do things to children... that is a completely different story. That is not even in the realm of shipping. Those are the people to watch out for.

Think about the memes about this, too. The "i could fix him" and "i could make him worse" memes. That's toxic idealization, but put in a way that is humorous and something a lot of people can chalk their very own ship dynamics up to. I don't see people sending death threats over that.

Which means it's all about context and intent. Not all proshippers agree with various dark themes, and from what I've had explained to me and from what I've seen it is generally just letting people explore fiction the way they want to. Sometimes it's a way to cope. Sometimes it's to create a story. Sometimes it's just to have fun.

If you're reading this and choose to disagree, that's your decision and it will be respected. People are allowed to agree to disagree over something as simple as fiction. Feel free to block me.

This said, here are my boundaries, I would like for them to be respected if we have a conversation/talk about ships.

-I do not support incest irl and would prefer not to engage with romantic incest ships. I will block if this is disrespected.

-I do not support pedophilia and would prefer not to engage with adult/minor age gap romantic ships. I do not mind ships with age gaps as long as a MINOR is NOT involved. I will block if this is disrespected.

-I do not support rape irl. I do not support unhealthy relationships where sex is more important than the emotional well-being of the partner. I do not support situations where 'no' is not respected. I do not support non-consensual actions between individuals. I do not mind it as a detail of narrative, I do not mind it as being part of a character's/oc's/insert's back story. But if there are heavy themes of active noncon in a ship then I do not want to engage. I will block if this is disrespected.

-I would like to get to know the actual human person I'm talking to before judgement is made over the little things.

-However, fascists, racists, pedophiles/MAPs, terfs, anti-lgbt, antishippers/anyone who actively harasses anyone for differences or brings harm to others ARE NOT welcomed here. If you identify as these or with the ideologies of these identities then please do not engage with me. These are not little things. That's a person's life.

Thank you for reading, regardless of your stance on the subject of pro/neutral/antishippers. I hope you have a nice day whoever you are.

[estelofrivendell]

Hi! Here's my description for the matchup trade, thank you so much again for doing this!

I’m Tori, a 20 year old autistic girl (pronouns she/her) who would prefer a ship with a man. Also, I tend to prefer the humans in middle earth (so like Aragorn, Faramir, Boromir and Eomer) so if you could kindly ship me with one of them specifically I’d be very grateful.

I’m really short, only like 4’ 10” (142 cm) with wild, long and wavy auburn hair and really light blue eyes. I’m slender but very toned, and I also wear glasses. I'm pretty neutral about both my appearance and myself in general and I don't think I genuinely hate anything about myself. I'm generally neutral about most things actually, it takes a lot to make me mad and even then I'm good at controlling my emotions. I have chronic joint pain all over, scoliosis and some other illnesses but I stay very active regardless. I’m really polite and try my hardest to be nice to everyone, but if you cross me or give me a bad vibe I can be a little cold and aloof. I’m a tad awkward, but I’ve been told I can be charming and I’m really good at making others laugh with witty comments. I tell amazing stories because I've had a lot of experience with different things during my life. I’m very generous and don’t mind helping others or doing nice things for them. I’m also extremely energetic and always have to be doing something, to the point where I’m honestly not sure I really know how to rest. My friends say I give really good advice and am very wise, and also that I have warm, inviting energy. I could lowkey befriend anyone if I really tried. Though I'm also very sensitive and don't enjoy being teased too much, so I don't tease others either. I also hate seeing people, or really anything, upset.

Where I really shine is with my large number of hobbies and interests. Because I always like to keep busy, I have a lot of different activities and side gigs to keep me occupied. In Middle Earth, I’d probably be some sort of ranger who picks up a bunch of odd jobs here and there. I currently work as a librarian but my other hobbies include:

🦉 Falconry & befriending crows

🦉 Caring for horses (I've always been a horse girl lol)

🦉 Cheesemaking, Cooking and Baking

🦉 Gardening and Plant Identification

🦉 Writing, Journaling and Drawing

🦉 Sewing

And a couple other things. I’m generally a very skilled, knowledgeable person and I’m very proud of it. I love being outside and can’t stand being cooped up indoors for too long. However, I do enjoy having somewhere nice to return to when I get tired from being outside all day.

Alright, I think that’s about it! Thank you so so much, take care of yourself and drink lots of water!

I ship you with Faramir!

If anyone is going to be understanding of a chronically ill S/O, then it is Faramir. He's very patient and overall a wonderful human being. You still trying your hardest to remain as active as possible despite the difficulties makes him appreciate you more since that is certainly not an easy task. He finds your auburn hair very fascinating since it's a rare colour regardless of country and how wild it is. Gondorians are taller than average so he finds your short stature intriguing because the shorter end of their people are most likely taller than you. What he loves about you the most is not your appearance but your gentle heart; he loves how generous you are and that is the trait he values the most. He believes selfishness and lack of patience will not get anyone anywhere and seeing you helping others even if they did not ask for any help is when he discovered your good heart. He is as wise and knowledgable as you are and also gives good advice that it is no surprise to anyone to learn you two tend to go to each other first for counsel instead of anyone else.

He's more reserved than awkward nor does sound to be a very humourous person so your relationship would bring jokes, wit and laughs that Faramir never knew he needed and Boromir makes a comment how his brother is starting to gain a good sense of humour. Your approachability and unwillingness to tease others also puts him at ease as he is the kind to avoid anyone that proves to be completely unapproachable, and has had a lot of experience with others berating him. He asks a lot about your hobbies and skills (especially befriending crows) not because he knows nothing about them but because he wanted to see and hear about it from your perspective. He shares all the hobbies you listed (except for falconry, befriending crows and caring for horses) and he would ask for permission to read your stories and even help you with it. I think he's into poetry and would share his own with you, and maybe some of them are even about you ;) I also can see him helping you with cooking and baking especially for a really big meal, and is genuinely interested in learning about gardening and identifying plants. All in all, he only seeks a simple life away from war and destruction and he believes he can have that with you since what you do reminds him of the good things life has to offer.

💕 for Undertale & Deltarune? :3

Thankyou very much for asking!!

I'll be honest here I haven't gotten super into Undertale or Deltarune shipping. I have a lot I like sure but I didn't really go out of my way to find content for any of them like I do for other fandom ships?

That also means anything not mentioned I'm probably neutral towards tho, sense I don't have strong opinions on the one's I like anyway fdkgjdfk

Problematic ships under the cut

Undertale Ships

I really liked Toriel/Sans back in the day, and still reblog it from time to time. They're losers and I think that's funny. Step-Dunkle Sans for the win

In that same vein Asgore/Gaster is so very *chefs kiss* Devoted Royal Scientist X The Depressed Lonely King. My god. What dreams are made of

Because of those two I got really attached to Asriel/Papyrus, just to continue the Goat/Skeleton thing??? fdkgjkdf Mostly tho Post Pacifist Flowey or Souless Asriel. I think they're cute. "I think I'm the evilest thing to ever live" 11 year old mentality X "I think I'm the greatest thing to ever live" 12 year old mentality (Papyrus is a grown-ass man though I am not infantalizing him)

ACTUALLY though Papyrus/Frisk was my OG Papyrus ship, while everyone else was all about Frans and Papyton, I was on the Stupid Little Guys train. I ADORE them. Frisk didn't want their Gender so they gave it to Papyrus

Does liking Alphys/Undyne even need to be stated at this point? It's like the default of Undertale shipping. They're cute. Good for them.

Alphys/Madds/Undyne is INCREDIBLY cute though I hope she gets pulled into the Alphyne polycule so badly she is their little meow meow

There was like a week of my life where I got super hard obsessed with Asgore/Mettaton spesifically because of one artist who drew the thottiest Mettaton with a Biggest little guy Asgore I'd ever seen and I'm still on that. Mettaton deserves to be a Sugar Baby to the King of Monsters

Chara/Asriel is extremely cute they are best friends they are siblings they are partners they kiss and snuggle and one day they'll rule the underground together and Chara is convinced they don't deserve Asriel

I think Asgore/Chara would be a very cute ship but there's probably no content for it. I just think on it sometimes.

Frisk/Chara Queerplatonic body sharers post game is very good to me. I've also seen an AU where Frisk gives up their soul for Asriel to come back and they share a body and I think the three of them should vibe like that.

Frisk/Monster Kid is always appreciated in this house we love Monster Kid content in this house

On that note I love you artists who make the briefly mentioned Suzy an Undertale version of DR's Susie and have her hang out with Frisk. They are buddies and I love them so much.

Deltarune Ships

Kris/Berdly is the only one that actually hard matters to me I love them I love them so much they are gaymers. Especially love it with Transfemme Berdly for no other reason than I love her my baby girl

Kris/Spamton is!!!! So good!!! I love Spamton a little freak an old man who's really weird about this teenager he just met he makes them so uncomfortable I think it's hysterical

Kris/Ralsei while we're on the train is incredibly cute and another instance of a Darkner being very Unnormal about Kris in a way that makes them uncomfortable. Ralsei infantalizes Kris while also putting them on such a high pedestal. Good uncomfy Yandere content

Another probably doesn't need to be said but I think Susie/Noelle is pretty alright. My opinion on it is very same as Alphyne it's fine it's canon gays and it's cute. No complaints from me

Lancer/Susie/Noelle though?? Incredible. Top tier. Susie will go nowhere without her little guy Lancer, and Noelle thinks he's cute as can be and incredibly silly. Is he involved romantically? Unclear but he sure is there

Roulxs Kaard/Spade King was very juicy back when we only had chapter one. The last bit of porn I witnessed before Tumblr fully closed it's doors was some nasty shit of the two of them. RIP the OP of that work they got hard banned four separate times.

Roulxs/Queen has sense filled the Roulxs Kaard malewife shaped hole in my heart however and it is so much funnier than whatever he and Spade King had going on. Queen talks about him like how we all talk about Spamton and I think that's glorious

Queen/Swatch Queerplatonics my dearly beloveds

Are Sweep Cap'n Cakes a polycule? Someone said they were brothers and I cannot remember who or if it was canon. I like them as a polycule. They kiss on the mouth

I love you Jevil/Spamton divorce does it count as a ship if my favorite part of it is they're broken up?

Jevil/Seam is incredibly cute I love them soft I love them angsty I love them devoted and broken and wishing for the old days and I love them together and happy and silly old married couple

Spamton/Addisons any Addison or all Addison I love Spam/Addi ships a lot because it can't be sweet they left Spamton homeless and alone in the streets. The good ol days only kinda ship.

You lowered your face into your palms and sighed heavily with frustration at the intensified emotions you felt and the thoughts that grew louder. You pressed your fingers hard against your temple, trying to ease the sudden pounding in your head. You tried to avoid the tears that welled in your eyes by squeezing your eyes shut tightly, trying not to force the tears out. Still, despite all your might, you couldn’t restrain the tears as the dreary sadness you felt worsened, and you let the tears stream freely.

Your chest heaved with every heavy sob, filling the silent corridor of the Razor Crest. You tried to keep quiet to not wake Grogu, who was sound asleep in the compartment. And worse, you didn’t want Din asking you why you were weeping. So you sat there in muteness, giving your full attention to the thoughts that were crushing you, convincing you that the only solution for you to be happier in your relationship and in life was if you were thin. Din could do so much better.

The sound of the cockpit floor hatch made you snap out of your troubling thoughts. You swallowed your panic and wiped the tears from your face with the sleeves of your top, sniffing back all the tears that threatened to come out.

You heard the loud patter of Din’s footfalls hit the surface, and you immediately stood to turn away from his direction.

“I locked in the ship on autopilot,” he said in a low, raspy modulated voice. “It feels strange being up there without my co-pilot.” You think you hear a smile in his tone.

He was standing behind you very close, close enough that you could feel the heat radiating off his solid body.

You turned in his direction, although your gaze didn’t meet his.

“Sorry, I--I,” you stammered. “I’m tired. I think I’m going to join Grogu,” you replied, striving to keep your tone neutral.

With his exposed fingertips, he reached out to lift your chin to meet your eyes directly. He observed how red and puffy your eyes were, evidence that you had been bawling.

“You’ve been crying,” he said and frowned. “What is causing your sadness?”

You felt a hardened lump form in your throat that fought with you to release the words you so desperately wanted to keep to yourself.

“I’m fine,” you managed to say and smiled at him.

“I don’t believe that, cyar’ika. These tears streaming down your beautiful face are of sadness.” He reached to remove his helmet, setting it gently beside the both of you. He wanted you to know that he was concerned without the barrier of his helmet.

Your saddened eyes met his beautiful brown eyes that were hues of compassion, concern, and affection, but you shook your head disapprovingly, wishing he hadn’t asked because those words provoked the tears to cascade down your face once again.

“Please,” he implored, witnessing the torrent of tears stream rapidly down on your face without ceasing, “I need to know what is making you cry.”

You shook your head repeatedly, trying to convince him that you were okay. But Din knew you well enough to know that you were distraught. He didn’t exactly know of your debilitating thoughts because you mastered keeping them to yourself. Except now you stood in front of the man you loved, wholly exposed and defeated; your sadness so deep that it turned your face to stone.

Din felt incapable and clueless in how to comfort you. All he could do was embrace you and let your avalanche of tears cascade on his cold chest armor where your head rested. He knew enough to know that you were silently screaming, holding on to your darkest thoughts. He kept stroking your back in an attempt to calm the raging war in your mind, but he could feel your chest heaving with every breath you took.

“I’m tired,” you finally attempted to disclose the secrecy.

“Then let’s rest, cyar’ika,” he said softly, not wanting to pressure you to talk if you weren’t ready.

You let go of his embrace and looked up at him, finally meeting his gaze with your distorted vision. His tender fingers cleared the tears that stained your cheeks, and you closed your eyes to speak the words that you could no longer bear on your own.

“I’m tired of not being good enough,” you said with a quavering voice. “I’m tired of feeling like… like I am undeserving of anything.” You paused briefly, shifting your gaze from Din to the floor. “I’m tired of feeling like I don’t deserve to eat some days, that I don’t deserve to go out some days. I always feel like I have to hide myself to make everybody comfortable because I don’t deserve to be seen. I don’t deserve to love and be loved by you,” your breath slowed after the confession of each word. “Because you can do so much better.”

You stepped away from Din, wiped your tears, and straightened your posture, determined to contain yourself from not suffocating with each shallow breath.

Din had resisted every urge to stop you from uttering every word that came out of your mouth. Each admission felt like the impact of a swift, hard punch in the gut. But he had the sense that every word needed to be revealed, no matter how false they were. He was grateful that you opened up to him, providing him with insight into what afflicted you. Still, now Din wished he could remove the poisonous thoughts and trap them on carbonite block and drop them in the deepest depths of the oceans in Trask where it would never reach the surface to torment you.

He swore to protect you and keep you safe, but now he felt useless because he couldn’t protect you from the unseen formidable opponent that had him outmaneuvered.

“When we walk around certain crowded areas, I see the way they stare at us— at me. They look at me in… disgust,” admitting that thought was so hard for you, and it completely crushed you. “They’re probably thinking what you’re doing being around someone like me.” You sat down on the crate in defeat.

“Who are they to determine who is and isn’t lovable?” He asked you, the timbre of his voice low as he challenged your negative thought. “Y/N, when I pass by people, they might stare, but of intimidation. They must wonder why someone so beautiful and sober like you is doing with someone of…” he paused for a moment, “my reputation.”

He waited for you to speak, but you sat there solemn and silent because the thoughts that ran endlessly in your head had tired you. But Din wasn’t done talking.

“Even if they were staring, it doesn’t mean anything about our relationship. It’s just us—you and me. Nobody else has a right to an opinion about our relationship. But if I ever hear someone say anything about you, I swear to you,” his hands balled into a tight fist, “I will end them. I won’t allow anyone to hurt you, not physically, not emotionally.” He said that with an intense fierceness that rendered you immobile; woe to the asshole that dared to utter a word against you.

You stood up and paced around again, unable to remain still.

“I never believed that I could be loved at my size-- this body…” you admitted and cowered in self-loathing.

“I see both. I see your body, and I see you. And I think both are amazing. And I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise I’ll never lie to you. You don’t have to hide or minimize the parts of yourself you think are unlovable.” Din’s reassuring, warm gaze permeated with benevolence and heartfelt intent. “You’re mine to love and to adore.”

He reached to take your hands and tenderly kissed them. “Ni kar’tayl gar darasuum,” he spoke each word with intense ardor and passion that your heart nearly burst.

“But you can do so much better, Din.”

“It’s up for me to decide who I’m attracted to. I’m absolutely attracted to the radiant, dynamic, multilayered, thoughtful woman that you are.”

He looked over at you. He smiled with encouragement, his eyes warm and comforting.

“Your size isn’t your identity. You are compassionate, warm, and kind. Your weight doesn’t dim the things I love about you. And if someone can’t see how amazing you are, they don’t sound like someone worth spending time with.”

You nodded, your spirits lifting at Din’s kindness and affection, and the ache in his heart eased slightly.

“Did you fall in love with me for my appearance?”

“No, how could I? I didn’t know what you looked-” you paused and looked at Din, who had one eyebrow arched. You understood that he was challenging your destructive thoughts.

He smirked when he observed the moment the realization kicked in.

“You saw the good in someone so hard, cynical, and dull like me. You broke down my every layer until I could no longer hide behind my armor, and even then, you saw the real me—my vulnerability, my weaknesses. Y/N, when I first met you on Nevarro, you smiled at me when everyone else saw my presence intimidating. Kriff, your radiant smile was enough to lift my defeated spirits, I-” he paused for a moment. “I was instantly yours at that moment.” He let out a soft laugh. “That night, I swore to Grogu that I’d win your heart, that I would somehow woo you,” His voice filled with deep longing. “But Y/N, my favorite thing about you is the resilience in everything you’ve overcome. I’m proud of you, cyar’ika. Every day I wake up wanting to be a better partner for you and a better father for Grogu. I flourish when I’m with you.”

He paused briefly to admire you despite your swollen red eyes from all the crying.

“Let me help you nurture these parts of yourself you hate. I want you to start seeing yourself the way I do-- don’t look at yourself the way your discouraging thoughts do.”

You turned your blurred gaze back to Din, and your vision slowly adjusted.

At that moment, you forgot about everything but Din’s loveliness and comfort.

“I love you,” Din whispered softly. “I’ll always remind you.” The words spread from his heart and lingered on his lips, the utter truth of them enveloping you with reassurance and heartfelt sincerity. Din loved you.

He brought you even nearer to him. Your bodies didn’t quite touch, yet still, you gazed at each with an extraordinary passion that wrapped around your heart. And then, at last, he bent his head to yours, and his lips met yours. Slowly and gentle at first, but then with increasing urgency. His strong hands explored your body. Every inch of your plump, soft skin was beautiful, so desirable that it made his heart and mind riot with excitement. Every touch, every kiss, held deep emotion and profound meaning.

He let go of you and brushed his lips against your ear, “I’ll show you how much I crave your touch... how much I desire you.” He whispered with a possessive ardor that sounded like a promise.

Henlo! R u still doing Narnia ships? If not feel free to ignore this :D

I'm an Aries, Neutral Good alignment, and Slytherin. To strangers and acquaintances I'm quiet and serious, but those who really know me know that I'm talkative and that I can tease people. I'm the sort of person who would rather engage in a verbal fight than a physical fight (I'm really short and weak lol), I'm quite good at roasting people to lol. I love discussing things like social issues and politics with my friends, I think it's healthy to do that once in a while. I'm quite sassy, sarcastic, overthinker, and optimistic. My friends say that I'm smart and kind tho.

Since I'm not in any sports, I'm very focused on my studies. Academically, I'm more of a "jack of all trades, master of none", but I prefer subjects leaning towards the Social Sciences and languages.

I love reading, writing, dancing, and music. I love learning different languages too, aside from my native language and English, I can speak a bit of Mandarin and I'm learning Danish too.

Other trivia about me:

- can play flute (a bit) and ukulele

- Have asthma

- I love dresses and skirts and boots and long socks

- Mostly sing off-key

- Weird, like i make weird motions and sounds at home

- POC

- Very hard time making and understanding puns and jokes

- Not even 5ft 🤡

Lol almost forgot to add I'm straight (am female)

Anyways have a great day and stay safe!

Salamat, thank you, 谢谢, tak du!

Oh course I can do one for you! and I am super sorry over how long it took to get it done. Life has been a little crazy.

The Chronicles of Narnia

I ship you with....

Edmund Pevensie Edmund, as we've all come to learn, is a very complicated person who only grows with time. I think the similarities between the two of you really complement each other and, in cases like this, it is better to be similar than have the opposites attract.

I've always seen Edmund as the wiser of the Sons of Adam. Perhaps it is his cleverness or his wit. But either way, I've always seen him as the brains to Peter's brawn - even though Susan is far more intelligent. I think you and Edmund share a lot of pastimes but you do have different ones, which is always great.

You and Edmund could totally get into a roast fest and most of it would most definitely be targeted towards Peter on Edmund's part.

Like with all the other character requests I have done, I always go with what instantly comes to my mind, and for you, Edmund was a clear choice. He can be brash and a bit harsh at times but I genuinely think you two are a good match.

I hope you liked it! And, again, I am so sorry over how long this took.

🌵 congrats on 500!! could i be shipped with a teen character from stranger things, and maybe one from harry potter too? im an entj, ravenclaw, sagittarius, and enneagram 3w4. i'm a writer and want to become an author & screenwriter for tv. im 5'3, with dark blonde hair and blue eyes. i'm impatient, strongwilled, ambitious, perfectionistic, and blunt. i love reading fantasy books, listening to jeff buckley & fiona apple & the cure, rainy days, and being in nature <3

hi lovely! thank you so much, it's very exciting!! i love this underrated prompt as well so you picked wisely! it's been a few events since i've done one of these, so hopefully i've still got the magic shipping quality! i stalked your blog (a little, not in a creepy way - love the theme btw, the shade of green is perfection!) but i couldn't find any pronouns or anything to specify what you are comfortable being referred to so i left it as gender neutral, i hope you are okay with that!

i hope i did some good match making and you enjoy the little snippets of the relationships i've created!

for stranger things i ship you with:

jonathan byers (non-creepy au - or now current universe since duffer brothers changed the scene we all saw👀)

and/or steve harrington (post-king steve)

for jonathan, i think he is drawn to a strong person when it comes to romantic interest. he is definitely more withdrawn, quiet, and stand-off-ish. he also likes smart people (i feel) who know what they want. he is very go-with-the-flow as long as you respect him. i also feel like he would love to read fantasy books if introduced to it (i don't think he had time to allow will to introduce him into the world of fantasy as he had to work from a young age and help his mother). i feel like you two would have roughly the same taste in music. you two would have a lot of dates where you just enjoyed each others company while listening to the rain as you sat on the byers porch. you two would have dates where joanthan took one of the thing you wrote and took pictures of things he thought went with the story/play/screenplay you wrote and you would choose one of his already developed photos and write a story/(quick)play/(quick)screenplay based on that. on the flipside of that, i feel like you would bring out jonathan's more social side. he's an introvert so you two would probably bring out different sides for each other.

for steve, i think he would definitely fall for you when you come into family video. he probably would make a fool out of himself, but you two would strike up a conversation. since i picture steve as an extrovert, he would have no issue doing anything with you. you two would click like a puzzle piece. while you are both extroverts, you both are in tune with your domestic/calm selves so you two will have a healthy balance of chaos and calm in your lives. you can have a nice, calm date, but then you can also have an exciting, adventurous date. you could also bring out the outdoorsy part of steve who has probably never had the chance to really experience nature until you. steve would absolutely love reading what you write and would brag to anyone who came into family video that one day, his partner will write a tv show that would put whatever movie they are buying to shame.

for harry potter i ship you with:

oliver wood (circa 1990s - teen Oliver, but y'all would last)

oliver shares a lot of traits as you. he is incredibly competitive so i am sensing a little enemies to lovers troupe. you two would definitely banter, bicker, and have your own little competition of wits, but love swirls beneath the surface and it eventually it will come to the surface. there will be fights, there will be arguments - you two are similar in many ways. but, since you also enjoy the calmness of life, you can show oliver that there is more to life than the go-go-go. once the love starts to come to the surface, i think both you and oliver would open up more to each other. sharing vulnerabilities, worries, fears, etc. through it all, you guys wouldn't lose the spark that brought you two together. you will never lose the light-hearted banter/competitiveness. you two will never be bored or not know what to do. your relationship would be built with adventure woven into the seams. it's you and oliver! showing that sometimes opposites attract does not apply to love.

feel free to send in more prompts for my 700 follower celebration lovelies! it's my pinned post (until it closes)!

For that character list ask thing: Ssssssoraka ?

send me a character and i’ll list:

favorite thing about them I really am a sucker for purely good, heroic characters (although you wouldn't guess it based off of the character this blog is centered around) and Soraka is the pinnacle of that. She's the epitome of "doing what you can"- she's had to learn this lesson over and over again. She's bore witness to so much suffering in the world, and although she gets discouraged, she finds it within herself to rise again and do what she can. I'd be lying if I said I didn't aspire to that. There's such a depth and maturity to her character.

least favorite thing about them I wish she had more voicelines and I wish Riot would remove the weird ones. (Not the banana one, that one's wonderful, but there's a couple more questionable ones that need some. . . tweaking.)

favorite line "Never waste a breath". The way the voice actor delivers that line is so soothing. I love it.

brOTP Not exactly a brOTP but I think Soraka and Pantheon would have an absolutely fascinating relationship. Pantheon would want to hate her on principal. . . but I don't think that'd actually last very long. It'd be really cool to see that develop.

OTP I'm not much of a shipper, so I'm pretty neutral towards most ships she's in. I think there's potential in a lot of them- Soraka's pretty easy to get along with. . .

nOTP . . . it's just a matter of whether she'd let anyone that close to her. I feel like, despite everything, she's a bit of a guarded person. She's not used to letting herself be vulnerable around others, despite being okay with acknowledging her own vulnerability when she's alone.

random headcanon She never asks for payment for her services. . . but she really does enjoy home cooked food from the families of those she helps. Nothing tastes better. She enjoys trying food from all over the world, from every tradition and time period she can get her hands on.

unpopular opinion Her goat legs are lovely and people who omit them from fanart are COWARDS.

song i associate with them I absolutely cannot explain this one, but the first song that comes to mind is "Numb Little Bug" by Em Beihold, particularly the chorus section. It's a song about being numb and burnt out, and I imagine Soraka struggles with that on her bad days.

favorite picture of them I'm really fond of this animation by @stain-is-the-name! I'm really fond of all his Soraka art in general and I also like his Soraka roleplay blog @the-starchild-herself. Check both out!

My very own Dragon Ball Original Character, Accordion has his own design at last! Hooray!

As I was drawing him out, I wanted to incorporate some noticable Namekian features while at the same time, retain his appearance "demon like". Profile below!

Name: Accordion

Gender: Male.

Age: Unknown. Estimation: Older than Ma Junior/Piccolo, Younger than Goku in human age.

Species: "Demon" Namekian.

Occupation: Former soldier and subordinate to King Piccolo/Piccolo Daimaō. Currently, subordinate to Ma Junior/Piccolo.

Alignment: Formerly Lawful Evil, Currently Neutral Good.

Personality:

Before: Aloof, cares very little to nothing about other lives, ruthless, sadistic, blood thirsty, loyal to his Master/Sire.

After: Serves as a big brother figure to his current master/younger brother, protective over him, still unsociable most of the time, quiet, genuine hearted and independent thinker.

Family:

Katas: Grandfather (Deceased)

Kami: Good half of Sire separated (Now part of Ma Junior/Piccolo)

Piccolo Daimaō: Sire, Former Master (Deceased)

Other "Demon" Namekians: Older brothers (Deceased)

Piano: Younger brother (Deceased)

Tambourine: Younger brother (Deceased)

Cymbal: Younger brother (Deceased)

Drum: Younger Brother (Deceased)

Ma Junior/Piccolo: Reincarnation of Sire/Younger brother

Son Goku: Former enemy, Current Father in-law.

Chichi: Mother in-law

Son Gohan Jr: Brother in-law

Son Goten: Brother in-law

Clarinet/Son Rinet: Niece

Son Goshen: Nephew

Son Fuji: Niece

Yamcha: Mate

Wanta: Daughter

Backstory:

He was one of King Piccolo/Piccolo Daimaō’s stronger yet not much known minion/spawn. Born shortly before Piano when King Piccolo/Daimaō was freed from his long imprisonment, his main duty was to safeguard the elderly villain. He assisted his rejuvenated, youthful Sire/Master when they conquered the world, overthrowing the King of the World.

As Accordion fought alongside his master and witness him die in the hands of a young Son Goku, King Piccolo at his last moments, telepathically gave him the duty to watch over, take care of his newest spawn and survive to see his wish realized. Accordion was assumed to have perished along with the Daimaō but in reality, he laid low to oversee his deceased Master's heir's survival and training him to accomplish their Sire's wish: killing Goku. But after witnessing Piccolo change over the years from the first fight with Goku up to observing the initially perceived demon turned Namekian undergoing character development through his bond with Son Gohan, Accordion himself felt that there was more to his own life and the world than what he was told early on in his life. He soon got over his evil heart and ways as well as developing his own individual character and humanity while still serving his current master/younger brother. From there, he came to know Yamcha who had his relationship with Bulma/Bloomer ended. They help comfort each other and assist one another to move on and in doing so, tiny sparks fly between them...

Yes, I created this OC because one: I feel there is not enough love for Namekians or interest about King Piccolo/Piccolo Daimaō and his minions. Two: I want to ship Yamcha with a character since the poor dude’s obviously been treated as a sad joke by both canon and the fandom. In all seriousness, I don’t understand why Yamcha is considered the least favourite DB character, he was really cool in DB and half of DBZ. I honestly like Yamcha and I do believe that he deserved better than what shit rep the canon storyline gave him. Hence, Accordion being created to remedy that and I really wanted to make some gay love~ Accordion would love Yamcha for who he is, regardless his flaws and imperfections. After all, nobody's perfect, am I right?

P.S.: I'm shipping both Gohan and Piccolo together (HanP/Piccohan) since HanV/Vihan is definitely not my jam. That ship is definitely my NOTP in Dragon Ball. Don't come bashing me for this. If you don't like, just ignore, ok? Nuff said.

Accordion, Clarinet/Son Rinet, Son Goshen, Son Fuji and Wanta are mine while the rest of the mentioned characters belong to their respective owners.

UPDATE

I also ship him with Dabura since I don't mind Yamcha with Tien.
