#and more “dear god they're so ''''''toxic'''''' ” ships

[kathrahender]

"We should stop normalizing abuse" "We should stop normalizing toxic relationships in media" "We should stop normalizing shipping X and Y characters together" "We should stop normalizing X trope" "We should stop normalizing this" "We should stop normalizing that"

How about we stop normalizing harrasing people over something fictional, hmm? Or you know- how about we stop normalizing telling REAL people to kill themselves?

And with "harassment" I mean "harassment" for any reason. For any reason. So don't start commenting things like "Yeah, harassing is bad, but-". No. If you're okay with harassing people in certain cases, get the hell out of my blog and block me NOW.

Lrb dear god, this reminded me of that time when Alfred-chan got sooooo mad at my post explaining why fans should respect bisexual headcanons for Maria and Malenia instead of pretending like they're canonically lesbians and that they get oppressed and erased by mxf ships with them. They kept vagueing that post for like a MONTH in their blog including in tags under reblogs of Maria fanart, passively-aggressively changed their url to character+sexuality to "spite" me and then even made a sockpuppet account to start shit with me in the comments.

They deactivated when me and Val completely obliterated their "you cultivate lesbiphobic following by telling people why they should respect all sexuality headcanons instead of acting cultish or assuming their experiences and stereotypes equal canon confirmation" garbage with actual facts and logic tho but I screenshotted everything fjthfgfj (I learned to document everything the hard way after they've changed the she/they pronouns to they/they pronouns ONLY to accuse me of misgendering, so thank you for making me wiser I guess 😎). Even more vile, as they, a white person, larped as an Arab in that sockpuppet to hold even MORE "privilege" against me in discussion gjtjfh Because for them race, gender or sexuality are just badges of honor and dishonor, they don't see these as traits of actual human beings. And Dr Eugene X, who worked with them and weaponized her race to accuse everyone who disagreed with her of racism, didn't bat an eye at such a terrible act too?? As usual, rules are not for their friends, lol

It is not even the worst thing Alfred did, and yet all of this just, just, JUST because I wrote a point on why bisexual headcanon people did nothing wrong and there is no ground to claim something is canon when it isn't. 🤦‍♂️ Like, they were soooo convinced that I hated lesbian headcanons and that I'd feel angry if they called Lady Maria a lesbian, when what I was angry at is this exact toxic behavior in the fandom. No matter how much you like a headcanon, don't be a bitch about it. Maria doesn't """belong""" to any gender or sexuality, she belongs to anyone who likes her and is invested in her complexity as a character!!!

Yet, apparently, common Malenia simps / Finlay shippers are no better than common Maria simps / Mariadeline shippers. Just, wild how after shit like this, many people have the guts to claim that it is "sexist redditbros" who are the biggest problem of creators in the fandom. 🤦‍♂️ They'd actually blush if they encountered what such self-proclaimed "feminists" do to their own (!!!) over headcanons. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

why tf is no one talking about disgusting ships with sukuna

sukuna artists try not to ship sukuita and sukufushi go! (Difficulty: impossible)

Trigger warning for sukuita and sukufushi shippers/any sukuna shippers (why do y'all even exist)

except sukuraume, self explanatory

Like u can NOT be shipping minors with a fucking thousand year old curse dude that's fucking illegal in more ways than one

"Oh, but it's an aged up au!" No, that doesn't make it any better. ☠️ It's STILL disgusting and the character's age STILL remains the same even in the anime or manga you can't argue otherwise, it's also sexualising a character that's not even the age of consent.

It's the fact that all these sukufushi and sukuita shippers can get away with it because like HALF OF THE FANDOM likes it.

AND THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS WHY THE SHIP STILL WOULDN'T BE VALID EVEN IF IT IS LEGAL (which it isn't).

ESPECIALLY. Sukufushi. No, Sukuna isn't interested in the way you think he's interested in Megumi. All he was after was to have Megumi's cursed technique, NOTHING ELSE. And you can't tell me you ship sukuita either, they HATE each other's guts. In fact, they're FAMILY. Yeah so try that again you fucking bitch cause everyone who ships allat are disgusting. ☠️

And if you still ship all that, the relationship would be toxic as FUCK. Think about it. USE YOUR BRAIN. I can't express how much hatred I have towards these disgusting ships that I come across on a daily basis and NO ONE is hating.

If no one else will say it, I'm saying it. No ships other than Sukuraume ACTUALLY makes sense. At least I can see Sukuraume, but TojiKuna, SukuGo, YOU NAME IT, WHAT are those. TOJI AND SUKUNA HAVE NEVER EVEN MET??? AND SUKUGO IS JUST SELF EXPLANATORY. They're just all weird.

Please, PLEASE. I'm literally begging it urks me so bad and it gives me the ick everytime I see it. And you DOWNGRADE MEGUMI into a fucking twink EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME. No, he's not a femboy. No, he isn't a twink. No, HE DOES NOT LIKE SUKUNA. INFACT, THEY BOTH HATE EACH OTHER JUST LIKE SUKUNA AND YUJI.

Dear god I'm so tired of seeing talented artist's artstyles go to waste because they like weird things.

Can I just enjoy sukuna art without having to see disgusting proships when I go into their page just to find out about the absolute disgust that they ship? It's SUCH a waste of talent and a good artstyle. This is illegal just stop please and thank you.

It's bitching hour I see, don't mind if I join! A lot of the TF2 fandom (mostly just Tumblr/Twitter parts of it) seem to be huge pussies about shipping. There has been talk about straight Pauling ships already and this falls under it too. TF2 fans on here seem to just fear being slightly unconventional with ships, no age gap more than 5 years or so, only the three most popular ships or else eat dirt, no straight Pauling ships, what do you mean bi people exist? It's stupid. You like a ship that isn't fucking red Octoberfest? Starve! Nobody will write or draw anything for this pair for months! Like a ship that's slightly controversial within the fandom like basically any pairing with an age gap, classcest, M/F Pauling ship, anything with pyro in it (also dear god this fandom treats pyro like an uwu baby that doesn't know sex when the guys a full grown pyromaniac with a job! He's mentally ill not a fucking child!! Sorry for side tangent) will get your head stuck on a pike ffs. I remember when I joined I really liked the popular/non problematic ships too but the attitudes of some people smh. TF2 side of Tumblr please get a bit more open minded with what you ship or just leave the people who ship unconventional shit alone. I know there's a line that 90% of the fandom won't cross and it's for a good reason imo (talking about incest ships here) but a relationship with an age gap of more than 10 years is not on the other side of that line, have fun and explore silly relationships with these fictional characters for once!! Let me have my toxic yaoi and toxic yuri in peace :(

Also I'm sorry about putting this long thing in your ask box, this escalated quickly

Agreed fully and also I'm gonna say something that's gonna rustle a lot of feathers–

People love SniperSpy. It's generally accepted that Spy is somewhere in his 50s to 60s, judging off Scout's age alone, and with SniperSpy he's sleeping with someone three years older than his own son.

And there is a absolutely nothing wrong with this when both parties are consenting adults. What I have an issue with is that I've seen a lot of people who ship SniperSpy then get on the arse of MedicScout shippers because Scout is "too young" for Medic.

My question is why? Why is it ok to ship Sniper, at 30, with Spy, a man at least 20 years older than him, but it's not alright to do the same with Scout, who's 27, and Medic, who's probably about 20 years older than him? Why is that? Why do you have an issue with one and not the other?

And it comes down to two things:

1. People think Scout looks too young. Which, I'm sorry, but at someone who's 5'2" and looks about 16-18 at all times (depending on whether or not I shave) despite being 23, fuck you. You do not get to decide if someone's physical appearance is "mature enough" when that person is a fucking adult. Get fucked.

2. Ableism. Scout is notoriously immature and often acts like a teenage. HE IS ALMOST THIRTY YEARS OLD. Maturity/behaviour ≠ age and the funny part is that these are the same people who tell you not to infantilise autistic people for perceived immaturity but then go on and infantilise A MAN WHO IS ALMOST THIRTY because he acts immature. Practise what you preach or get fucked.

People NEVER do this with Sniper and I'm not sure if it's because Sniper looks like he's 40 or because he acts like he's 40. But I'm inclined to think it's the latter, because people often do this with Pyro too as Pyro also often acts childlike.

So hey, if you do this, check yourself. Cuz you're probably being ableist. Ask yourself why exactly you think an almost thirty year old man can't have a romantic or sexual relationship with a man older than him when they're both mercenaries on a team of hired killers who kill people and break things FOR A LIVING. Are you normal about neurodivergent people? No, are you really?

Rating LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter ships

Rating LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter ships! If you ship any of these but I don't, that's perfectly okay! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions!

(but please. if you ship the illegal ones, then don't comment that you do. please.)

Warning: I have watched up to season 2 ep 6, but no further!

Autumn/Leo: nope, 100% best platonic besties, love their dynamic, -/10. I really love their in-show friendship and their moments are great, so a romance between them just feels wrong.

Paisley/Olly: 5/10, the chemistry and moments are there and it looks like the writers are building up to a romance, but I think the relationship would be unbalanced. The dynamic would also be kinda toxic, both of them need more character growth and development before they can have a healthy relationship. Like maybe when they're older and more mature?

Zac/Sky: 8/10, cute, love their dynamic and hope to see more moments in the future. What little crumbs so far are great, mainly because so far they're both easygoing and respectful people and I could see this relationship turning out well.

Olly/Leo: ehhhhh, don't think it'd work out well. Leo is similar to Paisley (in his difficulty in saying no, and standing up for himself but he's working on it and has come pretty far) and thus they'd have the same unbalanced dynamic, but they don't have anywhere close to Olly and Paisley's canon interactions nor years of friend history. Same thing as Olly/Paisley, needs more character growth first. I know a lot of people shipped them before the show came out, mainly because they were 'the obviously queer guy' and 'the feminine guy' or maybe just aesthetically, they look nice together to some people. 3/10.

Nova/Liann: 10/10, love it. Canon issues with their relationship are addressed, they have a comfortable dynamic and know each other well, they also have great moments together and I could see a romance happening cutely and naturally. Honestly my favourite ship.

Leo/Candi: DEAR GOD THIS IS SO TOXIC W H A T...NO SORRY NOT FOR ME

Leo/Aliya: 4/10. Leo and Aliya don't strike me as a relationship that would last long. Aliya has boundary issues (the Ley-La thing) and she's not good at noticing she's pushing Leo specifically (Over-Leveraged Leo) so some more character growth from both of them first. Then maybe I'll rate them higher.

Aliya/Autumn: 7/10, strikes me as besties but could also have a cool, sweet romance that could also happen naturally, if they get more 'romantic' moments together. Canon issues are addressed, and they have a good dynamic going for them.

Paisley/Zac: 5/10. They are very comfortable with each other, could see a romance happening but the platonic vibes are stronger. If they ever dated it'd likely end with both agreeing to stay best friends instead.

Nova/Aliya: Rivals to lovers, 3/10. Both have more character growth to get to before a healthy romantic relationship.

Paisley/Leo: cute, 7/10. Don't really have lots of canon interactions, but their personalities would mesh nicely and I could see a healthy, sweet romantic relationship. They're both cut from similar cloths, so they could be good for each other.

Zac/Aliya: DEAR GOD THEY ARE !COUSINS!

Leo/Niko: 6/10. Cute, same as Paisley/Zac, might date for a bit before agreeing to stay good friends. Leo would also 100% be Niko's realization that he's queer.

Liann/Paisley: cute, I love Liann and Paisley's moments in the very first episode and later on, Liann also gets more character development, so a romance between them would be nice. I feel like the eternal bestie vibes are slightly stronger, though, so 7/10.

Aliya/Paisley: okay but don't really see it happening. plus with Paisley and Leo being similar, a romance might not end well without further character moments OR maybe some solid canon moments. 4.5/10

Zac/Leo: platonic vibes are nice and strong, any romance would die off quickly and they'd stay good friends. The Over-Leveraged Leo ep is used as fuel for this ship by a lot of people, but to me the part where Zac just...approaches Leo and applauds his lovely situation then agrees to help, it feels more bestie than romantic to me. 2/10

Leo/Nova: would not work well in any world, they're just too different. -/10

So overall my personal ships: Liann/Nova, Zac/Sky. I'll wait for further canon.

AGAIN YOU CAN SHIP WHAT YOU WANT, THIS IS MY OWN OPINIONS.

[silvers-not-home]

rant below

can we please shut the fuck up

all of us. about almost everything. can we please. please please please just for one day shut the fuck up

can we shut the fuck up about ships and duo names and "oh this cc is better then this one and i hate their editing style and meh meh meh blah blaH BALH SHUT THE FUCN UP"

PLEASR

because jesus christ. oh my fuckign god. i cannot go on this website for twenty fucking minutes without seeing SOMEONE. ANYONE complaining about SOMETHING

and i know im probably being hypocritical about all this by complaining but dear god someone has to tell you guys that IT DOESNT. FUCKING. MATTER.

these are YOUTUBERS that play fuckingn MINECRAFT for a living and they're having fun and i want too aswell. i just want to scroll through my fucking page without seeing someone bitch about something. its so frustrating and irritating like JUST ENJOY THE FUCKING CONTENT THEYRE MAKING FOR YOU

here's the crazy thing, if you don't like it, stop fucking watching. its that simple. its that easy. seriously, if you don't something someone says. ignore it and block them

istg this fandom can be as toxic- if not more toxic then when i was in the fucking dsmp fandom at its peak and that is SAYING SOMETHING.

PLEASEEEEEUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH JUST SHUT UPPPP AAAAUTGGGUSHSUSJFUSJ PLEASEPRLADPELESEEREHEHEHEEEE

TL;DR

everyone needs to shut up about shit they don't like because i'm tired and drained from seeing everyone complain about everything

[brainfilehasstoppedworking]

What's better?

Taikaaki, Daikaaki, or KijoxTakaaki?

Geeeee...oof...that's tough. I like all three (and more because there are like. Two other ships of Takaaki I enjoy) for specific reasons. Taikaaki is cute and just fluffy. Plus I think their dynamic would be amazing and cute. Taichi is someone Takaaki needs, someone to make him feel like he belonged. Takaaki was someone who made Taichi feel like he wasn't unreliable. They work well together in my head. (There's better reasons but like. I just woke up so oops.) Literally read one of my fics or look at my headcanons for them to see their dynamic it's so good.

Daikaaki I enjoyed because I loved IshiMondo. It was my first Takaaki ship I enjoyed. Their dynamic is so opposite. They're all opposite, but they're very different. Different eras, different things they enjoy, different moral codes, different re everything. But God they love each other.

Kijoaaki is good because I think they're very unhealthy. I love me something that is toxic because it's just good too. Kijo will never, NEVER love Takaaki like how Takaaki loved him. And he takes that love for his own personal gain. Because Takaaki has issues. And Kijo just wants his body. To use him. I like that because it's something different I've come up with. It's different from the cute and loving Takaaki ships. Takaaki will always find better. Kijo was Takaaki's learning experience, to remind him he could do better when he matured more.

I like all three for different reasons. But for something I really will always enjoy is Taikaaki. I love them so much they're very near and dear to my heart because I weirdly relate to both and are just adorable together.

Thanks, Anon for the ask!!!

To the Jikook selfie blackmail anon,

when Jin asked Jimin "where," he then seemed to grab Jimin's arm or sleeve and Jimin told him he was going to the bathroom. Jin asked him to leave the camera then and appeared to be pulling on him, Jungkook then started talking about a selfie he took, and then Jimin who was still involved in his struggle with Jin said "okay I won't go" and Jin released him. There's nothing to say it was Jungkook who made him stay versus that Jin wasn't letting him go so he finally caved. Jungkook actually seemed relatively disconnected from Jin and Jimin's interaction. It's not even clear whether Jimin saw what Jungkook had on his screen by the time he said he'd stay because he'd barely looked over and everything happened very quickly.

But setting all this aside, how do you make sense out of believing that Jungkook would "blackmail" his boyfriend with a picture of himself with a hickey, a hickey that wouldn't be immediately detectable because it actually is just a great selfie of Jungkook? And if Jungkook indeed had a hickey on his neck in that photo, which I think is debatable, fans wouldn't inherently connect it to Jimin, it doesn't implicate Jimin in any way, so how is that even blackmail? Blackmail would be a goofy picture of Jimin or a suggestive picture of Jikook both. But even beyond the flaws with this reasoning, you have to believe in a seriously toxic version of Jungkook to claim he would essentially try to out his homosexual relationship (even if only for the truthers like you) to get his boyfriend to *checks notes* not turn off a damn Eat Jin Vlive, of all things. And you call it bravery, dear god.

And yeah let's talk about selective hearing and blindness for a moment because you're ignoring a whole interaction that came before in this same Vlive.

When the doorbell first rang Jin and Jimin talked about guessing who it was, saying there were two people in mind and Jin would go with the younger one. We found out the two people they had in mind—Taehyung and Jungkook. And the reasoning Jimin gave for his guess was that he only comes when they're on air. Jinmin went and checked the peep hole and it was Jungkook, and Jimin immediately asked him, "did you ever come when I called you before?" Jungkook answered "no." Jimin said "then why visit now?" Jimin even later repeated the sentiment when he asked Jungkook to say "I love you," saying he doesn't do it normally and will only do it in front of the fans.

You want us to believe THIS is a romantic relationship all because of an alleged blackmail selfie that only Jikookers ever would've connected to Jimin out of their own confirmation bias? I know y'all hate context and paying attention to Jikook interactions outside your carefully curated snapshots fucks with your fantasies, and if you just stayed in your lane about it I wouldn't even care, but you're not going to go out of your way to preach to other shippers about selective hearing and blindness, have some self awareness.

Hi anon!

Yes, all of the above! It is so strange to me that someone would ignore (and get mad at) a perfectly sound explanation like that. They wouldn't even have to give up their ship because of it. It's so... panicky.

If you look at the footage shot by shot, you can kinda even see Jin's arm up at Jimin's shirt. It's vague though, so I understand how that anon would disregard it.

That whole live was not a Jkk moment in time. Jin and Jk were vibing way more. Jimin was minorly annoyed (though not too seriously) by their antics throughout the part where Jk joined them. What you point out about Jk only joining because of the live is so obvious.

[downbytheriversside]

something you think that's underrated (show, music, ship, habit, animal, absolutely anything. can be multiple/a list. go wild)

Oh get ready to be here a while here we fuckin go...

Wind. It reminds me what it's like to be alive

Matt Maltese. Sad boy music that's so so good and makes me feel so much pain and catharsis. Also a lot of his songs are byler/Mike coded. You deserve an Oscar, shoe, everyone adores you, outrun the bear (byler will pov), as the world caves in, strange time (its second or third line is literally "and we'll both gladly lose our minds LIKE!!). Also paper thin hotel is tom wambsgan's song, and tom wambsgan's alone.

Lucas GODDAMN Sinclair. Need I say more? Doesn't matter cus I'm gonna- I genuinely believe he's the best written and performed character in the whole show, he's my sweet child ray of sunshine I love him dlfkgkfdn and he would NOT be the same without what Caleb brings to the table in his performance. And since day ONE he fucking ATE I keep putting EMPHASIS on so many WORDS but I digress. I do understand the problems with some of his writing which sucks but he is still incredible and you can tell that Caleb cares so much about him which I always love to see

The oh hellos album dear wormwood. Omg. Omfg. It's fucking TRANSCENDENT. ANYONE READING THIS WHO HAS GONE THROUGH/IS GOING THROUGH A TOXIC OR ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND LISTEN TO THIS IT IS SO HEALING. Not only is it cathartic asf but it depicts the anger and regret and pain and resignation and fucking every emotion under the sun that you experience in those kinds of relationships. And just how connected all of the songs are. The album itself is a loop, seriously. The last part of Thus Always to Tyrants (the final song on the album) leads right into the beginning of Prelude. And while we're on the subject of thus always to tyrants can we talk about how fucking impactful it is to end the album on that note? On a bittersweet toast to the people who hurt us because there is no getting rid of what they did, only making yourself stronger from it and healing?!!? About the notion that what they did was terrible but that is something you'll never forget because you can't but you're moving on to better things, wondering if they will change/have changed from who you knew them as?!??! ARE YOU FUCKNG KIDDING ME!!!!! AND just how connected the lyrics and melodies are in all of the songs. I've listened to the whole album easily over a hundred times and I still notice new lines that relate to each other or when bg melodies in one song are the main motif (?) of another. You can tell how much care and thought and love and emotion was put into its creation and I love it so so so much. Also if you dear reader do not want to spend 40 min listening to the album please please please just listen to Pale White Horse and Where is Your Rider. Oh. My. Fucking. God. Jesus fuck these songs. I'm just typing about them and I got chills like. I'm not joking at all when I say these songs actually changed my life. And the interconnectedness of them (sorta like a horse and its rider?) is just so special. They're whole fucking experiences to listen to and I will never get tired of it. Aaaaaaaahhh I wanna keep talking about this album but we'd be here for a long long long time but I might make a post about it if anyone was actually interested on my music blog @lyricsdumblikethelinoleumfloor at some point so. Stick around for that ?

Forehead kisses. We need more of those pls

Sincerity. For the love of the night sky. BE EARNEST! BE SINCERE!! BE GENUINE I WILL FUCKING STAB YOU-

Little thumb rubs while holding hands

My mutuals all of you deserve love and appreciation and tenderness every one of you fuckers I love you all <33333

Cucumbers. Shit fucks

LIBRARIES! Please if you can visit your local library, it'll be so lovely I prommy

Humans committing to silly bits together. And just like building off of each other's energy. One of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed and that I'm so grateful to have experienced

Introspection. For the love of fuck pleaaaase more people need this. Everyone needs to practice introspection idc just do it it's not some shameful act it just helps you grow

Peach flavoured things. They're yummy 😋

My ever growing gnome figurine collection pretty underrated imo kinda flying under the radar imho

Burger King foot lettuce

Laying on the floor and doing nothing. 10/10 activity honestly. Especially when you're in a sun spot shit fucks

And that's m'list! Glad you made it to the end, sorry for the long post

[carlos-tk]

hello beloved and happy nice ask week !!

i know we talked briefly in replies about buddy the vampire slayer, so i wanted to ask what you fav season, character, couple and villain from it are !! + if you wanna use this to gush about any other shows/characters you like feel free to (/nf) <3

Hi my dear Flare 💗

Thank you for giving me a chance to talk about my forever gal Buffy 👩🏼

My favourite character: Of course it has to be Buffy Summers. Strongest girl in the universe. I love everything about her. Her strength, her courage, her personality, her sarcasm and wit, her kindness, how much love she has for everyone around her 💗 She’s dynamic, she’s layered, she makes mistakes and she isn’t perfect. She just feels like a real person that you want to root for. We got to watch her go from adolescent to adult and persevere and survive it all. I could talk about her for hours!! SMG gives such a great portrayal of her and it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role

Favourite episode god there’s so many good ones! Let me just say ‘The Body’ S5 E16 is one of if not the best episode of television ever, one that you’ll rarely ever want to watch again. It’s a beautiful, heartwrenching exploration of grief and mourning. and in a show that deals with so much death and destruction from monsters the worst loss you have is a human death by natural causes 💔 That episode is so hard to revisit so I’m gonna give you a favourite that is a fun one! ‘Tabula Rasa’ S6 E08. In the episode, a spell goes bad and every character forgets who they are and it’s just so funny. You get a lot of references to earlier episodes and funny jabs about the characters usual selves and the comedy was a nice break from how serious the rest of the season is

My fave couple obviously involves Buffy herself. Spuffy or Spike x Buffy! Vampire slayer and vampire. Literally trying to kill each other enemies to lovers excellence. There’s a lot to say about this ship but the thing I fell in love with most about this paring is the fact they just capture your attention in any phase of their relationship. They're just so interesting!! The constantly changing dynamic is just something special. You’re invested when they're enemies, when they're reluctant allies, when they're lovers, and when they're something undefinable by the final season. Their journey is a long one fraught with so many differences and similarities to become a real love story. But in saying that the ship was definitely toxic and not all that healthy at times but whatever!! and I understand people who don’t like it because the writers certainly made a choice in one particular episode that really does sour the relationship. Also sorry not sorry if you’re a Bangel fan lol 😅 I have some fave ship quotes I can share too because look at the material:

“When I say I love you, it’s not because I want you, or because I can’t have you – it has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try… I’ve seen your kindness, and your strength, I’ve seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a woman. You’re the one” LIKE they wrote that and I was supposed to be normal about it!! Impossible!!

“No you have to stay”, “You’ve got another demon fighting for you”, “That’s not why I need you here”, “Is that right? Why then?” “Because I’m not ready for you to not be here”(screaming btw!!)

“But I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again, do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways. Every night I save you”

“Buffy, shame on you. Why does a man do what he musn't? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev... To be a kind of man. And she shall look on him with forgiveness and everybody will forgive and love. And he will be loved”

“I've lived for sodding ever, Buffy. I've done everything. I've done things with you I can't spell, but I've never been close to anyone, least of all you until last night. All I did was hold you, watch you sleep and it was the best night of my life. So, yeah, I'm terrified”

This is them in the final episode btw and I cry everytime 😭❤️

Fave season has to be S3. Buffy’s last year of high school and the introduction of Faith, another slayer! The ‘big bad’ of the season Mayor Wilkins is one of the best too. It had great overarching themes, amazing character development and a satisfying conclusion. The season as a whole is probably the series most consistent and some of the best episodes are from it. It is just stacked with contenders if I sat here and named it would be the whole season 😂 ‘The Wish’ is a goodie, ‘The Prom’ is <3 ‘Helpless’ is just !!!! and the 2 part finale ‘Graduation Day’ is spectacular! It’s a fan favourite with good reason

The best villain is so hard because there’s so many great options, I’d say S3s Mayor Wilkins or S5s Glory. Mayor Wilkins is a reminder that the worst guy in the world is probably a white male politician lol!! he was also a demonic snake for anyone that doesn’t know 😂 and Glory! Buffy battled all kinds of vampires and demons and the S5 rolls around and her enemy is a legit God from a hell dimension😳 and by far the worst has to be S6s pack of complete losers ‘The Trio’ that these days we’d call incels 😂

Thank you for joining me on this journey of my og hyper fixation ❤️ and if anyone wants to ask me more about my fave shows pls do!!

[widevibratobitch]

Ship game!

tagged by beloved auntie @vera-dauriac ! thank you <33 and as always, because i am incapable of just giving a short simple answer... lets go

OTP:

Carlos/Rodrigo AND Rodrigo/Philip. Putting them both because they need each other to reach their full potential.

Ship that you love but your friends don't (and that's ok):

uhhhh it's honestly hard to think of one that i wouldn't share with any friend at all

Wholesome ship:

it used to be Carlos/Rodrigo but then i started dissecting them more and turns out there's more codependency and manipulation than you see at first glance so I'll say uhhhh Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler? they have their own issues but. yknow. nothing compared to opera couples.

Comfort ship:

Snufkin/Moomin ig? it's special. it's close to my heart more because of what it symbolises than because i want those two to fuck (i do NOT actually want them to fuck at all, dear god, i don't even want to think about it). it's still very melancholy and regret-tinged. i feel like the 'comfort' questions don't rly apply to me cause what i love in fiction above all else is tragedy, unhappy endings, toxicity, generally Bad Things. the way i like to engage in media is weeping tears of genuine anguish over my beloved doomed characters/ships so there's not much space for true, long-lasting comfort.

maybe Eddie/Chrissy from Stranger Things too? cultivating a healthy relationship with another person while battling an ED is not easy to say the least (maybe even impossible, at least to me) so yeah, maybe in an AU focused on her recovery they could be a comfort ship to me.

Crack ship:

Duke of Alba/father Domingo

Ship that should be popular but isn't:

Athos/Aramis. there, I said it. I feel like most people in the 3M fandom take the easy way out with Athos/d'Artagnan and Aramis/Porthos (which I'm a huge fan of in the BBC series, but just cannot see it happening in the Dumas verse) and while I can understand that, I genuinely think Athos/Aramis makes SO much more sense (plus makes a perfect OT3 with Mme de Chevreuse!!!).

Opposites attract ship:

Snufkin/Moomin, Eddie/Chrissy (maybe Carlos/Rodrigo too? they're a bit more complicated than just "opposites attract" to me tho)

Canon ship:

Ten/Rose and Aramis/Marie de Chevreuse) (what can I say, I'm a huge fan of the divorce arc <33 she doesn't even physically appear in the first book and they have 1,5 scene together throughout the entire trilogy - but the contrast between the way Aramis acts about her in 3M vs the cruel, horrible behaviour he exhibits towards her in VDB + her trying her best to ensure he gets executed in the end... it does things to me <333)

First ship:

Don Giovanni/Leporello. well, I used to halfheartedly ship others before but this was the first ship that I truly went INSANE about when I was like 13.

Cursed ship:

again. Alba/Domingo.

I’m so relieved you want a bittersweet ending. That’s what I was leaning towards but I know a lot of people don’t like that. (Also I was struggling to make a hea that wasn’t like 50k words). We’re also not going to talk about the fact that I find writing characters having healthy communication to be hard. So. Potentially toxic Elucien? I don’t know, I’ll see what I come up with.

🥺 Your pets are adorable. I have a cat, too! She’s very cute, and once I reveal myself I’ll send all the pictures.

Ooh fancy hot chocolate is a good pick. I, unfortunately, am a hardcore coffee gal. My go to is cold brew with some oat milk (and I’m a pumpkin spice girlie so I’m in my element right now)

This is my first gift exchange! I’ve been posting fics for a little over a year but I wasn’t on tumblr yet for the 2023 gift exchange. This is also my first time seriously writing Elucien so we’ll see how it goes😊 (I’ve written for other ships)

I’m so excited to send you your first snippet! I’ve just got to decide how nice I want to be.

Ok here’s some questions to stay on theme.

Are there other book genres you like?

What are some of your favorite Elucien quotes? (Can be individual ones too)

If you had to pick a superpower, what would it be?

ooh look at us, being on the same page! TOXIC ELUCIEN!! your mind, you genius

i can't wait for the cat pics in december!! i've had pumpkin spice one time in my life and it was really good (minus the coffee lol)

noo not unfortunately! we all need to have something that's bad for us to enjoy in life, ok

NICE! (i'm never going to figure out who you are, do not worry) it's your first time seriously writing elucien!!! oh my god i'm even more excited now

you can be mean to me santa, i'll love it

-- me questions time! --

are you going to make me expose myself as a pretentious bitch? apart from fantasy, on my sheves i literally only have classical literature and nonfiction (HOW did this happen)

--

QUOTES, i'm speeding to get my e-reader

"He hadn't mentioned Elain, or his proximity to her. Elain had not asked him to stay, or to go."

"Her brown eyes were wary. Usually, that look was reserved for Lucien."

"I'll talk to her." "Don't," Elain said flatly. "Please don't wait on my account," she said, taking the seat at the head of the table.

"It was the most uncomfortable thirty minutes I could recall." (this is feyre but it was HILARIOUS)

"I might die of surprise," Lucien said behind me. "You made a joke, Feyre."

"Then, shattering the silence like a shooting star, a voice—Lucien's—bellowed across the chamber "TO YOUR LEFT!" (which, weirdly, might be my favourite lucien quote)

"It'll take more than that to kill me," Cassian said with a smirk that didn't meet his eyes. Elain only said to Cassian, "No, it will not."

"What happened." When Rhys spoke like that, it was more of a command than a question. Elain waved her hand in dismissal[...] (they're besties)

“Well, I’m late for something incredibly important,” Lucien said and before I could call him on his outright lie or beg him to stay, the fox-masked faerie vanished. and "Elain had already departed with Feyre, claiming she had to be up with the dawn to tend to an elderly faerie's garden. Cassian didn't exactly know why he suspected this wasn't true."

because THEY'RE MADE FOR EACH OTHER

and the elucien classics

"Who are you?" He knew without demanding clarification that she was aware of what he was to her.

"I can hear your heart beating through the stone. Can you hear mine?" "His name is Lucien." I wasn't certain if I'd ever heard his name from her lips.

--

i'm so basic about this but i'd totally pick teleportation as my superpower i have reasoning! it's because i'm afraid of airplanes to the point of: i will simply not get inside of one

as always dear santa, tell me your answers to your questions too (please), byee

[ryuusei-niu]

Dear, I'm neurodivergent too. And I understand completely that when you feel hate, you have to feeling all the way until it explodes like that cat meme with the explosion behind (I'm a hater of the humanity and oh my). But there's times and times. What happens with you with caleo sometimes happens to me with percabeth (and you have understandables reasons [the plot, some toxicity, etc]. I don't have much more that i feel it's so overestimated and I can't see how is a so charming ship). But I'm not going through the world saying to the four winds that I hate today percabeth or that I think they're boring, that I don't like the way Annabeth treat Percy, that I think they're somewhat toxic. And maybe this is because I had a lot of hard time saying what I think and getting scolded for that before, so now I think twice before saying (look just at the time you send this and how later I'm answer). I'm really glad that this didn't happen to you and you feel you know, free and all to say what you think. But even, and I maybe be wrong but I dare to say that more, if you're neurodivergent, you should be most careful because we can take us a little far for emotions, for saying like that.

And also, those are ships. Fictional characters. Maybe Annabeth is a comfort character for someone as Leo is for me. Or percabeth makes them giggle and warm their day as valdangelo do with mine. I'm not going to be toxic about something fictional (and it took me 3 years to learn that).

Being neurodivergent can be like, a motive (? but not a justification. Just, try to think twice (and I know well that is not easy). Try to stop and say 'hey, Would I like this to be done to me or to something I like?'. If the answer is yes, go ahead and do whatever you want bestie, as long is legal go on. But if the answer is no, you can do it anyway but think about it before do it.

(please let me know if this sounded rude or something because I tried to recall a lot of argentinian phrases and oh my gods, idk how it turned out but I wasn't trying to be mean, just give advise(?. And again, you can do whatever you want, I'm just a random weirdo of the internet).

Valgrace stans are making me hate valgrace

[white-poppie]

hii, can i request silva, illumi, zeno, chrollo & hisoka w a reader that thinks they're really strong, cool and admires them has a silly, innocent lil crush on them?

Puppy Crush

A/N: Hey Nonnie, thank you for requesting this. I won't be doing Silva and Zeno as they are very old and I am not comfortable, rather I would do Kite and Kurapika. Thank you.

Pairing: Illumi, Chrollo, Hisoka, Kite and Kurapika with Gn! reader

Illumi

Listen if you are the kind of person who thinks powerful men are cool here is your man.

Illumi is honestly very oblivious

(or if he knows he just chooses to ignore it.)

Either way, he is of a very stoic nature and doesn't really care about others' feelings.

If you are someone who is very close to him (like a family friend or a valuable asset) He might find it endearing.

Honestly, overall he is just very nonchalant and doesn't care.

"You know I think Y/N has a thing for you," his mom sighed.

"...They do?" he questioned.

"Are you really that oblivious?" she gasped, "don't you see how they look at you? With practically heart eyes, it's cute honestly."

"Talk to them Illumi! They are perfect for you!"

Chrollo

INFJ gang yuhh. Honestly among the adult trio, he is the coolest (stg if you are a toxic Chrollo simp, here is your chance to leave.) Literally gonna base him on myself.

Listen, he either knows or Knows and is in denial/shy. No in-between.

Either way, he is very observant of you.

He is taking care of every single variable.

He notices any slight change or discomfort? Ready to run laps to make you comfortable!

He is tracking your food habits, sleep schedule and everything subconsciously (yes it is not even a conscious effort!)

He might look very scary and tall, my lord he blushes so much when he looks at you. he is like o(°///▽///°)o.

You two are so madly in love with each other that it is visible to everyone except you two.

Pakunoda is shipping yall so bad

Overall he is just a sweet and gentlemanly guy.

Chrollo was quick to notice your growing sense of dread among the many people in the auction.

Before he could comprehend what was happening, he was dragging you away from the crowd. He made you sit on a bench and fetched water for you.

"You okay there?" he asked patting you head.

"Yeah, thank you Chrollo, you are so sweet, I can't help fall for you all over again." As soon as the words left your mouth, your eyes widened.

Chrollo's face reciprocated the expression, but slowly melted into a smile, "good, the feelings are mutual then."

Hisoka

Dear Lord, why him? Anyways...

Hisoka thinks it's cute that you are so weak compared to him.

Yes, he is attracted to power, but he also likes the authority over his s/o.

May or may not tease you just for fun to see your reactions.

Flexes like a pro.

Gets in trouble so you take care of him.

Hisoka looked at you as your dexterity wiped his forearms that were filled with cuts.

"You need to be more careful," you scolded.

He chuckled and leaned back, "sure darling."

You growled and your cheeks grew warm, he only smirked at your reaction.

Oh such a cute little plaything you were

(I TRIED MY BEST TO KEEP IT NORMAL OKAY?? I DONT LIKE HIM AND I TRIED NOT TO LET MY HATE REFLECT)

Kite

Sweet baby boy, it has been so long since I wrote for him.

The most direct and intelligent among all of them.

Still, he can't help, but poke fun a little.

He thinks you are the most adorable little thing.

He teaches you basic self-defence so you can take care of yourself.

WILLINGLY lets his hands linger on your shoulders while fixing your stance. (smooth mf)

Will hope that you confess to him first, but if you take too long he will just go ahead and do that.

"Keep your fists on shoulder level," Kite commanded and you hesitantly lowered them.

He sighed and moved back from where you were standing, grabbing your hands and positioning them down. A shiver ran down your spine.

"Focus, Y/N," he said close to your ear and moved away with a kind smile

Kurapika

The loml, my husband, the father of my children.

Dear god, it's me again, what harm will it bring you to get me a Kurapika. I do not wish for a perfect man who is tall, buff and caring. I am just wishing for a blonde himbo with anger issues who ghosts everyone but is one of the only reasons I am happy. Is it too much to ask?

Okay, Kurapika...is dumb when it comes to feelings.

Like you 'like- like' him? You sure? Why him though? Are you okay? Do you need to be taken to a doctor?

He is such a gentleman how can you not fall for him???

Eventually, he does catch on though (After Killua and Leorio repeatedly point the obvious out.)

He still thinks why would you like someone like him?

Thinks he is very lucky to have someone like you.

Slowly starts falling for you too.

Why do you care for him so much he wonders? Why do you wait for him every time he disappears?

You were crying, why were you crying? Well because Kurapika just randomly decided to show up after ghosting everyone for almost two years. Making you worry sick, you spent so long looking for him. You even thought he was dead!

You were hitting his chest, sobbing in his embrace.

"You are so mean, so mean to me!" you cried out.

His hands rubbed on your back, and tears lined his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me tell you that there hasn't been a single day I didn't think of you when I was away. I love Y/n, truly."

(I AM NOT CRYING, YOU ARE!)

Hello) One question that does not carry any negativity, just your opinion is interesting. So why don't you like shadowpeach?

(for my part, I'm not a fan of this ship either, considering what these two monkeys have been through, "especially the Macaque", I find it hard to call them a couple given their past relationship. They're more like brothers to me, who like to do for each other a little shit )

I hope I didn't offend shadowpeach fans with this question. Even though I don't like this ship, I'm neutral about people who like this ship

well, at some point some chinese peeps spoke up on here how shdwpch is rather disturbing to them because the leading/most popular theory on what six ear is that hes a literal piece of swk (a physical manifestation of swk's evil traits, basically) which some of the chinese peeps also dubbed a brother relationship (i'd personally go as far as call swk some sort of mother of six ear considering that six came Outta swk) and like...

seein how uncomfy the people are who have these characters as part of their culture, their nation, their history, their religions and their childhoods with that entire shipping deal? dear god, i'd be disgusted with myself if i kept doing something as fuckin Shipping when it goes so hard against the wishes of people who's opinions matter. shipping is trivial n unimportant. the culture of people is not

thats the main reason but also yeah, similar to you, as a psychology nerd especially seeing shdwpch happening after Everything they went thru n how much these two fuckin hate each other, i find shippin them laughable

so my decision was basically the result of "which is better? respect culture that is not my own or defend a ship i dont give a shit about, find toxic n ridicilous and keep offending a culture that is not my own?" which is clear that the former is the answer here

there's ofc chinese peeps (on twitter) who seem to like shdwpch but having just one chinese person be uncomfy is not worth Fucking Shipping in my eye

[shonaegi]

I'm so curious what mental gymnastics you have to go through to decide ""pr//sh//pping"" is a good thing to align yourself with.

I think the only think they'd ever have going for them is the idea of "don't shit on people for liking something you don't". But also?? You don't have to be a pr//sh//pper to believe that?? And honestly the reason it doesn't work coming from them is because it's usually in conjunction with "fiction doesn't affect reality" which. Girlies I'm sorry but it can. Desensitizing people to fucked up topics can in turn make them more compliant with it or even make them view it as ok. This is coming from someone who was unfortunately dragged into something for a portion of time and honest to god I am so glad I got out of it without becoming a victim. /srs

And now to the thought that made me type this up impulsively. You can be critical of ships and the implications on the person shipping them. To go to the drastic examples there's no fucking way you can tell me to not be critical of someone shipping in//st or the like. But even without being as drastic, I think its really good to be critical of ships between characters who in canon would have a toxic/ abusive relationship and how it may reflect on someone who is romanticizing it. I am going to talk about T//gaf//ka now.

I find utility in using unromanticized T//gaf//ka to cope. Realistic portrayals of their relationship is so fascinating I think you can get so much out of it. I think coping through shit is awesome. That being said I think people making romanticized shit out of it is one of the most triggering things on Earth and I'm sorry if you look at canon/ in-game characterizations and go "Yeah you can have something healthy sprout from that"... What The Fuck???

Byakuya is very much uncomfortable with the attention he gets from Toko in canon. He lashes out at her because of it. Toko has an unhealthy obsession with him, undoubtedly due to trauma and an unhealthy perception of romantic relationships. Aand something something that part in THH where he told her not to speak and she fucking didn't until he told her to again. I am not going to talk about Syo because that's where it's personal heart emoji. <3 I don't wanna delve too much into them; my thoughts could be another whole post on their own.

Anyways, all of what I just said is why I find them to have coping utility. It may not be 1:1, but I have been there. And being there is why I think it can be insanely problematic to ignore all of their canon characteristics/ relationship and go "teehee wlm/mlw ship <3". I don't want people to think blind obsession is romantic (also the issue with shit like the yandere trope but that's out of my area). I don't want people to think persistence towards someone who does not want you will get you them in the end. I can't cover shit that completely rewrites canon but I think if you rewrite an unhealthy relationship to be healthy. Just find new characters to ship. OR LET THEM BE PLATONIC FRIENDS DEAR CHRIST I think Toko and Byakuya growing past what all happened and having a positive relationship is really awesome. It's not something you ever owe to someone you had an unhealthy relationship with and in real life may not be ideal but fiction is still a playground for stuff that may not always be feasible in life. But I think I've made it clear why it's an issue to give them a romantic relationship.

This is so insanely long I'm so sorry I didn't think I had this much in me either. To wrap it up I kinda just can't take pr//sh//pers seriously anymore like ok be in denial abt it I don't have the time to waste on you. But I think it's still important to dish criticism against it that isn't "p//do shit bad" because while that's 100% correct, these fuckers won't acknowledge they're romanticizing abusive relationships, and will just dodge it. Oh the beloathed "I'm not defending that, I just think you shouldn't yell at people for a ship."

Defending any kind of abuse bad you may now like the post.
