To an extent I agree with this. But if someone made an OC just to ship them with one of MY original characters, *personally* I would be uncomfortable with that because I am AroAce and tend to extend that trait to the rest of MY OCs. I do not like the shipping being done with MY characters (whether it be āwhat ifsā with canon characters or self-inserts), because of personal icky yucky feelings towards it and because most of them are AroAce. (Au characters I could give a fuck less about because they arenāt mine to begin with, I just wrote a story for them that I wanted to write. The only exception to this are C, Soul, and Sebastian because their human forms have become my characters.)
I donāt think itās cringe overall (i mean Iāve probably done it myself when I was younger and wasnāt Aro, so Iād be a hypocrite if I said it was lol), but itās also a case by case basis. If someone doesnāt want people to ship their OCs/self-inserts with THEIR characters, thatās their boundary they donāt want crossed and it should be respected (and those who defend that already set boundary are in the right imo). If someone doesnāt give a fuck, then go wild. For you self-insert shipper haters; donāt try to make a boundary FOR that person. Theyāre okay with it, so stop crying about it because it literally does not affect you as the viewer. (Hereās a hint; if you donāt like self-insert shipping, *donāt read it/look for it!*)
All of this is my view on it. You can agree/disagree with it I really donāt give a shit. But the general rule of thumb for shit like this is; if the author is okay with it and has SAID they are okay with it, then shit the fuck up with your complaining. If the author isnāt okay with it and has SAID they arenāt okay with it, then defend them.
OCs based off of peopleās worlds are cool, but be careful when shipping them with canon characters!
i still hate yāall bitches who say oc x canon shit is cringe like bitch you have ANY idea how flattered i would be if someone made an oc for my fantasy world? how utterly PSYCHED my ass would be they loved a character so much they fleshed out one themselves just 2 be with one of mine? fuck yāall haters
#my take#self insert#self insert x canon#self insert ship#self insert shipping#oc x canon#oc ship#oc shipping#just mind your own business#donāt break the authors boundaries when itās been set#and donāt force others to conform to your boundaries when the author is okay with it

Dear Mouthwashing fandom, explain to me, why next to the incredible fan art, I find a fuck ton of shipping content, especially between characters where this is highly problematic? SPOILERS FOR MOUTHWASHING AHEAD CN for talk about sexual abuse, death, suicide & violence
DISCLAIMER: I do not shame the general practice of shipping at all. I am a shipper myself and I think it makes up for a lot of interesting dynamics and narratives outside the canon. Shipping is an important pillar of fandom communities and I am unable to forbid you to do it. HOWEVER, in the case of Mouthwashing I want to talk about what, in my opinion, feels tone-deaf to the themes and the canon of the game. But let me start with a short summary of the game before I get into it.
Mouthwashing is basically a visual novel that takes place on the Tulpar, the last manned cargo ship of the company Pony Express. The crew, consisting of Caption Curly, Co-Captain Jimmy, Nurse Anya, Mechanic Swansea and his intern Daisuke, is confronted with a crash against an asteroid and the consequences following it. The story is told out of order to reveal the truth bit by bit. What caused the crash, what happened and how the crew deals with the time afterward being stuck on the ship. Revealing sexual abuse, tragic backstories, the horrible side effects of late state capitalism and the neglect of people in command towards the people they are responsible for.
To boil it down we have two men who, out of societal misogyny, hurt the only woman on their crew by assaulting her or not acting as they should have in their position of responsibility. All of this would not have happened if Jimmy didn't rape Anya and impregnate her, and if Curly had disciplined Jimmy in a capacity possible on the ship and in Jimmy's position as co-pilot. To be honest, with the amount of automatization the ship has, I don't think they need Jimmy if it is not a case of emergency, but I digress. Jimmy is the perpetrator of the story, but Curly is an accomplice in putting his aim of finding a solution and compromise over punishing his subordinate as he should have.
And now to my actual point: I am a big fan of the game, the narration style and the utter tragedy of 5 people losing their lives in the isolation of space, with their company not giving a shit about them. Otherwise, they might have been rescued much earlier or at all. Or had enough cryo pots in the first place. Or a nurse with experience. Or any amount of better equipment and not the most cheap shit that somehow made it through a resemblance of regulations. There are probably no regulations.
Being a fan I, of course, looked into the hashtags on several social media sites, and between the incredible art and analysis of the game, I quickly found shipping content, and I have no idea why. I have literally no idea how that narrative speaks to you in a way of shipping characters romantically/sexually. Especially three shippings really rub me the wrong way.
ANYA/JIMMY
Are you fucking kidding me? Literally, what is wrong with you shipping a victim with their abuser? There was not one interaction between them, that suggest that there was consent or affection, that Jimmy has any sympathy for Anya. He knows what is going on, he knows that Anya is pregnant and takes no responsibility. Even worse, his idea of FIXING this was to kill everyone, at least himself, to avoid responsibility! Same goes for AUs where she kept the baby and is somehow okay and happy? I get the urge to fix it, but that is not a good fix. There is no good fix if you are pregnant due to rape.
ANYA/CURLY
A lot of argument I hear for that is that "at least Curly is her friend and was nice to her" and if that is your whole foundation of argument, I want to ask what your standards for a relationship are. Please know that you deserve more than the bare minimum. Another question in that context: Is Curly really Anya's friend? His friend was abused and instead of protecting her, he tried to reason and help her abuser! That is not the behavior of a friend! There is no "but Jimmy is his friend too!". If your friend is an abuser and that does not make you stop being their friend....why?
JIMMY/CURLY
It feels like it is a law on the internet, that two men who look at least averagely handsome will be shipped, especially if they have the tiniest of connection to each other. I am not even sure if I would call them friends in the first place. It appears that Jimmy, whatever his bad life before that job was (thanks to the developers for not giving us a backstory), he is still absolutely unsatisfied with that he has. He is jealous of Curly and his position, seeing how quickly he takes on the Captain title after the crash and only realizes far too late how hard the position actually is. Curly on the other hand feels a bit like a people pleaser to me. He probably had pity for Jimmy, took him under his wing to help him? Fix him? Whatever it is, it made him ignore Jimmy's bad side to a fatal degree. I respect the toxic yaoi but are you sure?
TLDR; I am worried about how the practice of shipping developed, from a way to extend the canon, explore queerness in cis/straight dominated media, into a compulsion of where some people can't look at any form of media or constellation of characters without immediately smashing them together like dolls. If you do this, maybe step back for a minute and ask yourself if it is appropriate. On that note, same goes in case you defend Jimmy. Why?

For fun how about rating Wukong ship from lmk and give your opinion why?
SWK Ship Ratings
(Scores rank from -10 at the lowest, and 10 at the highest)
Shadowpeach
Name Rating: 5/10. Basic, but rolls off the tongue. Started the trend of Sun Wukong having extremely basic ship names- more on that below.
Canon Rating: 0/10. Whatever they had in the past, Macaque simply treats Wukong far too awfully to really justify the two of them ever getting together. Even the attempts at reconciliation feel more like extremely forced ship baiting, given how it goes from one of the two being marginally kinder to the other than usual, then immediately dropping it for more sniping. (Past!Shadowpeach receives 5/10.)
Fanon Rating: -10/10. Iāve spoken at length about this, but fans love to distort Wukong into a drooling abuser so stupid he canāt breath through his nose, usually while turning Macaque into a Possession Sue who only serves to be the authorās simpering self-insert who is the most perfect little baby of all time who has never ever done anything wrong at all even once. If there is an attempt to be ānuancedā or āunbiasedā it manifest as āSun Wukong ākilledā (re: defended himself against) Macaque so heās worse.ā Itās an awful, extremely pervasive dynamic that rots any fandom enjoyment I could have had for this couple.
Personal Enjoyment: 6/10. Getting to write Macaque as the legitimately awful person that he is takes off the edge of seeing constant āuwu sadboiā Macaque content. Still, I rarely touch anyone elseās Shadowpeach content because of this.
Peachlotus
Name Rating: 2/10. As youāll see, most ship names involving Sun Wukong are, uhā¦ extremely lazy. Just one of the other characterās traits with āpeachā slapped before/after it. Fandom really dropped the ball with most of these. This one is especially clunky, at least on my tongue.
(See, Macaque gets stuff like Lunartides, Inkypages, Shadowpeach, etc- all very cool.. We need to diversify the nouns is what Iām saying. Coulda been something like āGingerRootā cause orange fur + plant boy. āFlowerBudsā for the platonic name for peaches + lotuses. Do you guys see what Iām saying. It canāt just be raw peaches all the way down.)
Canon Rating: 2/10. Ne Zha also doesnāt treat Wukong too kindly, interacting with him mostly through insults and physical attacks. He does seem to have some understanding of the king, though, which gives him a slight boost over Macaque.
Fanon Rating: 1/10. It barely exists, and what little does exist is essentially just āNe Zha is mad at Wukong over what the fuck ever, so theyāre fightingā and little more. Thereās a lot of potential for bonding over immortality and awful pasts or being commandeered by domineering authority figures, which I wish was used more often.
Personal Enjoyment: 2/10. I donāt see the dynamic, personally. Again, Ne Zhaās only interactions with him are only ever vitriolic or exasperated in nature, which doesnāt leave stable footing for a relationship to stand. Maybe Iāll make a chatbot for them one day and see if I come around to it.
āFreepeachesā
Name Rating: -5/10. This shit is exactly what Iām talking about with the lazily slapping āpeachā onto whatever and going on. āFreeā has no meaning between Wukong and Tang- itās just a holdover from a more popular ship. Tang only mooches food from Pigsy. Thatās one of the biggest elements of their dynamic. Sure, Tang likes free stuff (food, rides, physical labor), but when does he ever get that from Wukong? It just makes no sense.
AND IF IT HAD TO HAVE THE FRUIT, TANGYPEACHES WAS RIGHT THERE
Canon Rating: 6/10. Tang literally drew himself and the Monkey King together inside a heart. He adores Wukong, thought maybe not for who he truly is- and the two donāt any interaction in terms of Tang realizing his autistic parasocial special interest idol is a lonely old sage who misses his friends, which cripples what was a pretty cute dynamic. I think Tang coming down from his hero worship and being just a genuine friend to SWK would be cute, definitely.
Fanon Rating: 9/10. Pretty enjoyable! Freepeaches is one of the few dynamics where Sun Wukong isnāt constantly turned into a punching bag/villain to be beaten around for the amusement of the audience, and the two are often portrayed as legitimately healthy together- I especially enjoy how Tang is portrayed as needing to move past his hero worship for the two to have a healthy relationship. Itās cute.
Personal Enjoyment: 6/10. Never addressing the resemblance to Sanzang or having them interact in regards to this while the circlet is back on Wukongās head feels like a massively missed opportunity, honestly. I think Sun Wukongās personal feelings have been left to the wayside for far too long in canon, and getting to a point where almost every fucking character represses their feelings is lazy and boring.
Peachbuns
Name Rating: 4/10. Again. Just āpeachā slapped onto an adjective or noun. Itās frustratingly boring. This one sounds delicious and both components are related to food at least, which fits Pigsyās backgroundā¦ but it also sounds like something a horny dude would ask for pics of in your DMs.
Canon Rating: 1/10. Pigsy isnāt willing to take any of Wukongās shit, so he serves as a pretty great ābullshit barrierā that provides a legitimately strict opposing force to Wukong, but thereās little else to even their relationship out. Heās never kind or supportive or worried- if the two interact, itās always through the lens of āPigsy is mad/suspiciousā. Thereās never any real bonding or growth between them at all.
Fanon Rating: 4/10. This ship barely exists, and when it does itās Sun Wukong being lectured through life by a big strong man- not a dynamic Iām a fan of. However, it is surprisingly kind to Wukong in terms of empathizing with his struggles. Again, I wish there was less of āPigsy teaches Wukong basic life skillsā because it falls right back into the revolting fanon that is āSWK is a big dumb fuck who canāt read or cook or take care of himself without a husband to wipe his ass.ā
Personal Enjoyment: 2/10. I just donāt click with it. Pigsy doesnāt like Wukong, doesnāt trust him, and doesnāt interact with him outside of that.
Moonstone
Name Rating: 10/10. This is what I like! Moonstone is not only a very real (and very beautiful) mineral, but it ties to both of them equally! You donāt see Wukongās status as a stone-born demon be referenced often, so this is a refreshing change of pace from the constant āpeachā names.
Canon Rating: 7/10. Changāe is a lovely woman who is simultaneously not be willing put up with Sun Wukongās bullshit while still legitimately respecting and admiring him. It makes for a nice duality in their relationship that most of his dynamics donāt provide.
Fanon Rating: 10/10. The working dynamic is so fucking good to start with that Iāve never once seen fanon drop the ball. Never. This ship is always so fucking sweet and honest with Changāe calling out Wukong for his bullshit while never pushing it to the āShit on Sun Wukong Showā levels that the fandom loves so much- she takes no shit, but does no harm. Sheās supportive and acknowledges his traumas and fears. Wukong does his best for her. Moonstone shippers get an A+ and extra recess time.
Personal Enjoyment: 7/10. I justā¦ I really like this one, dammit. Thereās not a lot to go off of, but seeing fanworks that do not primarily treat SWK like living trash/baby the hell out of him is nice.
Lionpeach
Name Rating: 3/10. Again. Very boring and generic. Iāve seen Fuzzypeach which is a little cuter, at least. Still, itās all the same āpeachā+noun format.
Canon Rating: 3/10. The devotion Azure bears to Sun Wukong seems like it would bear a higher marking, but itās shallow and flimsy. Azure never understood Wukong, never wanted what was best for him, never cared about his safety or happiness. Azure projects his beliefs and wants onto the people around him, blinding the big fella to shortcomings on their parts, and is delusional enough to never look inwards. Still, I can legitimately see
Fanon Rating: 0/10. Itās just smut. Thatās it. When it isnāt itās just āOoooh! Azure is jealous of Macaque! Tee-hee, sorry Azure!ā and thatās it. Iāve never actually seen any non-sexual, Azure-focused Lionpeach.
Personal Enjoyment: 5/10. Itās a fun enough dynamic to explore, especially with how unhealthy it is. Iāll probably make a bot of this too one day. Maybe a āyandere dadsā type. Or a mutual Primal Moon bot.
Celestialchaos
Name Rating: 10/10. Another not peach-based name is a win in my book!
Canon Rating: 6/10. Xiangliu is civil enough to Wukong (about as much as everyone else), but the mention of them having once been friends is what got my attention. Shrouded past + + potential reincarnation shenanigans + decently civil behavior = a very happy writer. Itās so little but it makes my brain itch.
Fanon Rating: 0/10. It doesnāt even exist babes ;( Iām scrounging for water in the lonely plains of a desert yāall. Iām a lonely little cactus and Celestialchaos is my annual three-inch rain.
Personal Enjoyment: 10/10. Cāmon now. You all were expecting this. I love this ship. Iāve already made four chatbots. I love Xiangliu as a wild little freak who desperately tries to push Wukong away from other people and sad lonely Wukong finding refuge in a freaky toxic snake. Especially I like the idea of Xiangliu pitting himself against Macaque and going after Sun Wukong just to cause a little trouble, only to actually catch feelings and start pursuing him in earnest. I like āI want you at your worst so I can prove that I still love you even thenā Xiangliu and āYou love me at all?ā Wukong.
I really like this ship.
End Result
(Scores ranging from -40 to +40)
Shadowpeach= 1/40
(Past!Shadowpeach would around 20)
Lotuspeach= 7/40
Freepeaches= 16/40
Peachbuns= 11/40

Hey bestie, dropping by with a mea culpa. When Peaceful Property started, you expressed concern that GMMTV was inching toward a model of using bl pairs in shows that would avoid being explicitly gay but still draw on shipping fandom to be successful. Coming off The Trainee, which was not a bl but did have expIicitly queer characters and romance subplots, I wasn't sure the intentions were quite that dark for PP, but having now finished it and seen the way some in the production have interacted with shipper fans, I have to call it: you were right to be concerned. At no point was this show ever a bl and none of its principal characters are canonically queer, but they successfully leveraged the TayNew ship to have fans interacting with it as if it was in fact a gay love story, that idea and fan commentary was explicitly encouraged by the creators, and the show has been quite successful despite never actually delivering on all the TayNew bait. I'm definitely concerned that we might have somehow swung back around to queerbaiting being seen as acceptable and good, as long as it features popular branded pairs. I don't have any bigger thoughts to offer about how this should be addressed, but just wanted to come back and say you were valid for naming that!
Thank you. I didn't want to be correct. And I am still hoping to wrong about what this says about where GMMTV is going.
But I am not gonna lie, seeing the posts about the finale did regnite the massive fury I had at this project when it was first called a bromance. So I am going to use your ask as an opportunity to vent.
FOR THE RECORD: I am not mad at you, or at the people and mutual on my dash that have enjoyed the show and are claiming as gay out of spite. My anger is at GMMTV and at GMMTV alone.
THEY DID THIS SHIT TWICE ALREADY!!! Back to fucking back.
I know High Schoool Frenemy is being watched by like 5 people on tumblr. But it's doing well outside of tumblr. They are using bl style fanservice with the 2 main boys of that show. I have seen the shippy content and compilations along with the other bl couples. Not to mention people like Jojo saying those characters are the his new favorite ship on twitter.
AND I AM SO PISSED!!!!
I am glad you brought up TayNew because there is no doubt in my mind that they used TayNew for Peaceful Property as a test. They knew there could be backlash. They knew the bl fandom could have rioted. But they also knew that if it that rage would have been directed at TayNew not at the director, not the company but TAYNEW.
And I think TayNew knew this. Because they spend weeks on social media doing preintive damage control, I have seen the posts of them (or at least New) saying it wasn't going to be romantic. I don't think the two of them forgot how they were left to eat the shit alone over the bullshit backlash during the TayGun kiss situation with GMMTV doing fuck all for them.
And what pisses me off is that BL audience didn't even give a backlash. They eat that shit up like it was fucking icecream.
The BL audience is literally doing their job for them. They are taking a show with some gay subtext and running with it.
They are showing up for the fanservice (again broder audience outside of tumblr), and gleefully closing their eyes and ears and saying well I Think It's Gay.
What do you think Mega Corporation GMMTV is going to take from the success and no backlash? If the answear is anything but: We can produce half of the BLs as usual and make the rest Bromances, you have more faith in corporations then I do.
Because Bromances can be watched by non BL audiences as well. The BL niche is a big one, but it is still a niche.
And now they won't even have to bother inserting arguable quality gay commentary or struggles or homophobia. Or any gay kissing, no more workshops. No more worries about how effective these potential straight boys are going to be at playing gay. All they have to do is making them do fanservice, and they are great at training people for that. Or better yet, actually use one or two ships that have kissed before and done actual BLs.
Will they stop doing BL at all, obviously not, you gotta give the BL audience something to remind them they can still show boys kissing, and we have the Ex Morning and Jojo that will never actually stop making BLs and some gay shit. But if in the next line up we will more bromances, and eventually we get half BL and half bromances I wouldn't be surprised.
Of course maybe I am just pessimistic and cynical. Maybe the proto bdsm in the heart killers is enough to persuade people that I am totally wrong. I guess we will see about that.
Thanks again for the ask and the oppurtunity to vent a little. Again I don't fault anyone for enjoying this, it was design to get the BL audience watching.
I will personally be keeping with my own resolution and never watch another gmmtv show live ever again, maybe binge the few that sound interesting and that's it.
At least I can find comfort in the idea that that other companies do not have the same level of BIG cast of boys and big budget to do the same thing and follow in the bromance trend.
#ask#lurkingshan#gmmtv#peaceful property#tagging this because the show is over#and i waited the all the damn way to vent about my issue with this fucking thing#and i want people in the tags to see it#so they can have it in the back of their mind#and i won't have to see too many posts#acting surprised when there are going to be more bromances announces at gmmtv next line up

Kremy Lecroux x Morning Frost brain rot
Hear me out, just extremely professionalā¦ amongst the lines of ānot getting feelings involvedā is so them to meā¦ but realistically, it never truly progress past a few longing glances whilst doing paperwork/tasks and shit. They would help each other out every now and thenā pre-canon, canon, and post-canon. The subtext is there but they never acknowledge it nor try to suggest anything to the other. Theyāre far too professional and they have other people to worry about.
I hope they never kiss, never hold each otherās handā¦ just small moments of shared longing then nothing.

i am going to say something that is . well i don't think it's controversial in that i don't think it has been said enough to cause controversy to begin with but skjdfhjds listen. hear me out
tim/ber/kon <<<<<<<<< timiveskon
on the one hand you have an uphill battle to convince me why these characters would even give a shit about each other (plus i mean megfitz massacred their characterizations and thats a whole extra mess) and generally it just reads to me as just treating kon as tim's spare love interest uwu without any care about his character.
but on the OTHER HAND.... timiveskon? chefs kiss. kon and ives are instantly bonding over nerdisms. they are both standing on the table and yelling about the rereleased edition of return of the jedi and kon is going on about how he has the original literally downloaded into his brain and ives thinks that's the sexiest thing he's ever heard and tim is just sitting there consumed by lust while they both yell about greedo. it practically writes itself. come on
#rimi talks#like. ives and kon in a room together could be so good. give kon a nerd friend!!!! a guy who GETS IT about wendy and star trek and star war#ives and kon would get tim to go to a con with them as the triumvirate. they both agree tim has to be bones#tim is like literally why. im not a grouchy old southern doctor :/ and theyre like THERE IT IS. THAT FACE. DO THAT IN ALL THE PICTURES#tim on a skateboard mid kickflip frowning like could leonard mccoy do THIS???#(he's just bitter he wanted to be spock but ives won rock paper scissors)#anyways sorry i just sometimes remember how much i really do hate tim/ber/kon. many ships i just dont care for but that one.........#it activates all of the issues i have with megfitz's shit tier writing AND a ''LEAVE KON OUT OF IT'' impulse#i have seen. FAR too many posts. that suck absolute shit. i will never have a good opinion of this ship#timIVESkon however. theres something here. i think its worth exploring

Every time Ashley is asked a ship question about Fearne, I am violently reminded that some people just don't understand how polyamory works
#š#cr discourse#fearne#critical role#cr3#text post#how many times must this be said#she doesnt wanna be pinned down#some of the way people talk about fearne ships is so painfully monogamous#idk how to describe it but just like.. please realise your biases and perspectives and learn to look outside of them#and stop asking her to commit to one person#she can be romantic with ashton and still be into chet and braius#and imogen#and ashton is not only fine with that but literally doesnt give a shit

i love reading haikyuu tiktok shipping discourse comment sections. it's so entertaining seeing so many people with such bad taste.
#it's always the exact same shit every time too#āname a ship everyone ships but you hateā and it's always kurootsukki oikage atsuhina and tsukkikage#like with the amount of times i've seen those ships mentioned in that context i'm starting to believe that NO ONE ships them actually#how is atsuhina hate so common when 2AM mac n cheese literally exists#everyone's excuse is always 1 of 3 things: āi ship kagehinaā āi ship sakuatsuā or āthey're just friendsā#guys... i hate to be the bearer or bad news.... but all three of these things can coexist#you can ship atsuhina AND sakuatsu AND kagehina...

"we all agree that there's no non-shippy explanation for this scene right" and it's literally one character calling another son/kid/bro/sis/any moniker typically used to signify platonic affection
#ppl can ship whatever they want i do not care but it's so infuriating when they claim it's universal when they pulled it out of their arses#this is specifically about the shit in my 'for you' tab about gotg3#NO THE ARROW SCENE WAS NOT SHIPPY WHAT THE FCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT#yondu literally calls kraglin 'boy.' the scene is like lifted straight from the one where he tells peter to use his heart to defeat ego.#it's the same wording and everything. if the scene cementing yondu as peter's mentor is echoed with the arrow scene...#maybe it's about kraglin being yondu's mentee in the same way peter was????#maybe bc kraglin's jealousy of yondu's parental love for peter is blatant subtext in gotg2?? bc kraglin isn't that much older than peter???#'no other explanation' i can give you 10 of those. you can derive whatever interpretation you want from this but don't say it's the only on#gotg3#kraglin obfonteri#yondu udonta#guardians of the galaxy vol.3#peter quill

Iām actually so upset over the grimmons resolution Iām tempted to start a YouTube channel and make a whole video breakdown of their fucking queerbait
#Iām saying this as someone who didnāt start shipping them until THIS YEAR#Theyāve always kinda just been in the background to me until I was doing my rewatch and was like#hey wait#add onto their little series where they go over YouTube comment#and they literally call out their own ship name and grif has that moment where he clearly values Simmons and their time together#and then in restoration you have that ācome with meā moment#which was amazing I loved it#but for what??#grif clearly only helped Simmons fight the meta because thatās what Simmons wanted to do#grif did not give a shit about what sarge wouldāve done#but because Simmons was staying behind to fight he did to#HELLO?#this is never said explicitly but is clearly the case#the meta throwing grif onto Simmons okay#come on now#and just for what?#I understand and in part agree with what people are saying about how they both got what they wanted from the beginning#grif always wanted to leave#Simmons always wanted to be a leader#sure I get that. but sometimesā¦character development exists#and one or both of them can realize that their desires change or arenāt right for them#idk maybe Iām just coping but god damn#rvb#rvb restoration#rvb19#grimmons#rvb grif#rvb simmons#red vs blue

sometimes i remember that most north fans donāt write him as an absolute insane person ethical manipulative girlfriend style and iām like. what is he even thenā¦ just a pleasant white man? you know what. more power to you if you need a pleasant white man for a blorbo but god that could not be me
#most ppl write north as just like. a nice person i think.#i know him though. i know him.#like nork is SUCH a popular ship (at least like. historically) and every time i see it i go āhaha that would never workā#and then i remember. oh right most ppl write these guys as like. just kind of decent dudes.#nork to me is like. worlds first ethical manipulative girlfriend (not actually ethical) x worlds first manic pixie dream Nice Guy#who both have literally no identity of their own and sure arenāt actually giving each other one#theyād be so miserableā¦#constant battle of ācanāt you see what a sacrifice iām making for youā#neither of them would ever admit anything was wrong. they both think they can fix it forever#just slowly falling apart. itās fine :) theyāre fine :)#n\orkington is even more baffling#i genuinely couldnāt even imagine the dynamic there#like i know itās pfl uwu baby wash but even still#heād be so miserable theyād treat him like shit ToT#oh god north/wash. wash run. WASH RUN.#noooo wash my little chameleon you canāt stay with him heās going to make you his baby bird#he wouldnāt even realize ToT he wouldnāt even know why heās unhappy. oh god. wash RUNNNNNNN#i just donāt think north should be in a relationship basically#āwhat about churchnorthā okay. letās be real. do we really think church should be being in a relationship???#their toxicity perfectly cancels each other out into like. something thatās actually good for both of them#wraps all the way back around. horseshoe theory.#okay this has turned into pure rambling. itās 4am

I'm 100 pages into Moby Dick and they just got on the goddamn boat
This book actually kinda fucks hard it's great?
#Moby Dick#Was not expecting a comedy out of this book tbh#Nor was I expecting homoeroticism#And I was NOT expecting Herman Melville to actually be cool about representing non-Christian religion in a Christian dominated society??#And there's only been one (1) woman in the book so far but she was such a cool character?#Plus there's a shocking amount of class consciousness in this??#Herman Melville Woke King??????#This book came out in 1851 and Ishmael's saying this Pacific Islander he met a couple of days ago is basically George Washington#He does keep calling him a cannibal and the guy does keep talking about doing cannibalism#So it might not hold up to modern standards for racial sensitivity in that regard#But like the man's saying that this guy wanted to give Christianity a try#Figured out that it wasn't for him so he went back to his pagan ways and literal idol worship#And Ishmael was like āWhoa based? God said to love your fellow man and this is man is as equal to me as anyone elseā#Real shit here honestly#This was pre-Civil War this is amazingly ahead of its time in terms of racial justice#Also: āhell is an idea first born on an undigested apple-dumplingā is based as fuck I love this guy so much#The first chapter is a masterpiece#āThis is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the shipā#THAT IS SO FUCKING GOOD#I can't believe it's taken me this long to START THIS BOOK

If I had a nickel for everytime my hetero otp ended up actually being canon but still gets treated EXACTLY like a rarepair, I'd have 2 nickels
#Zagdusa#Miles x Hailey#Mailey#Hailes#they dont even have an agreed on ship name thats how fuckin rare it is#i shipped them in the first game but didn't think it would be canon cuz nobody seemed to give a shit about Hailey dhskddb#i thought she was gonna stay a minor background character#and dont even get me STARTED on Dusa from the Hades game#SHE'S LITERALLY ONE OF THE MAIN THREE LOVE INTERESTS#BUT FOR THE FIRST YEAR AFTER THE GAMES RELEASE I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN HER SHIP TAG#even when im winning im not winning!!!#spider speaks#artflower

"Yona was just added bc Nintendo wants people to stop shipping sidlink!" Literally what the hell are you talking about
#yes nintendo is homophobic. no they do not give a singular shit about what their fanbase does??? what are you talking abouuuutttt#they literally dont care what people do as long as they get money??? like what#listen im upset abt yona having so many unanswered questions. mainly she came from another zora's domain#meaning she came from outside of hyrule. so that leads to a lot of questions.#but howww do you come to the conclusion that she was just added as a 'no homo' indicator#dont even get me started on the people genuinely unironically calling this queerbaiting. what are you onnnnnnn#'and oh but sidon said he used to see her as a sister! so its gross and wrong!' sidon literally thought out loud to links face abt how#had things been different and link had gotten married to mipha he would be his BROTHER IN LAW. SAID THAT OUT LOUD TO HIS FACE. so shh#imo. yona was added for one 'ohh wow exciting new character look at this' and two. as a way for sidon's trauma to be acknowledged#bc it was veeery briefely shown in botw. for like. a singular second if you snuck up on him at mipha's statue#but yona's defining scene in totk was her forcing sidon to confront that he wasn't being himself because of that trauma. and that#he needed to let go of the fear around it. if only temporary. because his people needed him.#so tbh?? sheis very important to the plot. she new mipha. admired her. knows why sidon still struggles with this and#how difficult and frightening everything becomes when he views the world through the lens of 'what if i lose someone again'#like. they added yona for his struggles to be spelled out to the audience even further#so to just boil her down to 'ewww woman gets in the way of my gaybies š”š”š”'. hello. did you play the game.#do you even know who these characters are. quick gimme ten facts about sidons character that you didnt make up for shipping purposes.pronto

People who fancy themselves intellectuals on this hellsite love to condescendingly bring up fandom issues to minimise them or go on about whataboutisms when the question simply is do you think people deserve to be told they ought to die or be abused over fiction and fantasies or nah
#''uwu fiction and reality have a complex relationship akchtually'' no shit. literally the only people who doubt this are the ones who#started making problems for everyone else. sorry you were too busy acting like you're above it all to notice#(why are you even bringing it up then?)#i'm pretty positive most people in fandom would love it if it was possible to go back to openly entertaining complex discussions about the#matter in more general settings and not isolated communities. if only Some People weren't always ready to start harassing others#over things that in the grand scheme of things don't really matter that much :)#but well. for how Above It All they like to act these people always do turn out to be anti-lites so...#fiction talk#+ another thing that annoys me is the whole. ''what do these terms even mean there's like 10 definitionsš'' like.#eg i don't call myself proship because despite its origin as a term it Does give off the impression that this is just about ships#but still it does mean ''i mind my own damn business'' and that's what pretty much everyone who self identifies with it will tell you#so really. is it really that confusing. is it. or did you just ask what it meant to an ~anti~ and got Their definitions of it.#mytext
