#I'm not against these kinds of ships

[dizzying-faust]

Sol//Ky is one of those ships where I get the appeal of it and why it's an important fandom ship, but I still personally find it mid.

How it feels to not like timebomb after s2

I think the most beautiful thing about writing of Howl and Sophie's pair is that they are written as people before being written as a pair. Let me explain this very quick.

The thing about book Sophie and Howl is that they are not really fully fitting into any "classic" romantic trope. They are not exactly enemies to lovers, as their angry chats are definitely cannot be considered a life or death battle, they are not rivals to lovers because the only aspect of rivalry between them is the cleaningness of Howl's room. They are not friends to lovers, as their relationship just doesn't fit into "friendship" structure at the very start, nor they are roomates (yes, they live in the same house but that's not the core aspect of their relationships). Of course, you can go on and fit the name of the trope you found specifically for them, but that's the thing.

They simply cannot be processed through a pairings lenses only, in order to understand how they act in relationship you need to analyse them separately, as a characters first of all. Cause that's what the book itself does!

Sure, it doesn't have a whole lot of romance instead, but it gives us time to learn and observe the life of incredibly written, alive characters, understand them as personalities first of all, while slowly immersing the dynamic between two characters (in this case, Howl and Sophie) into work. They are written as personalities, both being fully separated and interviewing, changing eachother's point of view.

It's difficult to find a trope for them. They're are not a trope. They are Howl and Sophie, and that's probably the only way their dynamic can be properly described. Just as real people, they are not really fitting into the boxes of linial character progression, but go way deeper into being complex, filled with little differences and moments only people with their personality can have in romantic (or any different) kind of interaction. They're imperfect, and silly, and multidimensional and the reader knows them well enough to imagine them interacting way beyond of what the book says to them.

They are being people before being a ship, a pair of a trope — and that's why they work so perfectly charming in the end.

Howl and Sophie are unique in being themselves.

Re-watched the loumand fight and man I CAN'T WAIT to snort on Lesmand's word offs filled with sexual tension cocaine

The knowledge that a giant number of the people who made the b/y Fandom absolutely miserable by never shutting the fuck up about b/j were so fucking smug about getting their "owed" Laura/marisha pc romance only to have to swallow a functionally asexual relationship (and a plot heavy campaign that has allowed for very little of the character magic of c2 and even c1) genuinely makes me smile sometimes. Because there are some who took that very in stride and they're doing fine, they're here and going a little hard on the whole cottagecore thing because for some reason that's what fills any wlw space where sex is missing or downplayed, but that's no real big deal apart from the broader purity culture implications. The ones who think relationships should look a specific way, say, like beau and yasha did... Well those people left and we don't have to hear from them anymore and I think that's just beautiful. It's so peaceful.

CW Leaked hazbin hotel content talk under the cut

K look I'm a big fan of Guitargates and I know Abel will probably end up with Emily or whatever but now I want to ship Abel x Peter too so bad lmao

Also like the concept of Emily x Abel though I'd prefer the other like I mentioned. And Emilute. I like Emilute too much to let it go.

And I mean it'd be nice to have an actually healthy mlm relationship that's not stereotypical or has veery questionable background. Even though I like the other ships too I want to have one where they're just dating properly and healthy like is it so bad

I rewatched the season two final recently and Mariner literally like,,, slides up to Ransom while telling the bridge crew about Freeman's transfer and steals his drink and sips from it and he just takes it back like it doesn't even bother him, he doesn't seem grossed out by it at all. Is this just normal for these two? Are they really truly 'share drinks without asking' levels of comfortable with each other? It's making me insane

proshits get so upset when anyone - it doesn't even have to be an actual anti - includes them in their dni. like proshits think they're being fucking oppressed bc someone doesn't want to interact with them. i'm not even talking about fights here; just one person saying they want to stay away from proshits is enough to cause rage in many.

it's also important to note that a lot of these proshits are grown ups complaining about minors not wanting to interact with them, lmao.

like... you guys know ppl have boundaries, right. you guys know everyone is allowed boundaries. that's why the block button is there for. why won't you just block the ppl who don't want to be around you, then? why won't you stick in with YOUR community??

since you claim that antis are often the ones who love starting fights for getting all pissed, you certainly love throwing hands with fucking teenagers on the internet, and it's pathetic. it's not even funny.
