Everyone: What?!

Mira: Since when?!

Lucy, confused: 3 yea- Hold on, you guys were at our wedding. Gildarts walked me down the isle!

Everyone: We were?!

Gildarts: I did?!

Radioapple week: Day 4 (Bonding(?))

I'm currently obsessed with the "Buckshot Roulette" game and decided to make a silly (hopefully not too deep of a lore but I dont trust myself to not make this shit deeper) Hazbin Roulette AU with Alastor as the dealer and Lucifer as the player.

I may or may not will make more of this in the future, maybe..

What Reverse: 1999 character have you never seen a yume/ocship of? Please comment!

[liminalnghtshade]

this is mostly a what-if headcanon after this episode but there is something that cuts me so fucking deeply about lucy and kipperlily being the only ones who wanted to keep them as the high five. she was learning how to be someone who wasn't fated for greatness in a world full of prophecy and mystery, to be happy with her little group of friends. how to be happy with who you are. then she goes on the big quest they've all been so excited for and her best friend, the one who held her when she was at her coldest. the one that when anger couldn't warm her anymore, the one who used her arms. she was murdered by a plot larger than any of them. and there was no miracle. she didn't rise from the dead like kristen. she was stripped of what was most important to her. and kipperlily had everything she had been working towards stripped from her left only with a rage that is now the only connection she has left to her dead friend

Seeing a lot of comparisons between vaultghoul and reylo and:

Listen, ship your ships; that's the tumblr way, and I'm not here to judge you

But for me, that's bullshit.

I personally checked out of the star wars films when it was clear finnrey was being shelved in favor of reylo

Because finnrey had the chemistry, and I could feel that reylo was being forced. I could tell from the writing. I could tell from the acting. I could tell from the interviews.

Such is not the case with vaultghoul. Is it a slightly fucked up ship? Yeah, but we're all freaks here.

The chemistry is there. It was there from the jump. It's easily perceived in every scene, and none of it feels forced.

That doesn't mean vaultknight doesn't fit; their smiles are sunshine. Their heart-eyes are sweet as apple pie. I'm not mad about it, but the chemistry just doesn't quite seep through the screen as easily.

Instead, I found myself yelling "DO YOU NOT SEE THE WAY THEY'RE LOOKING AT YOU?" every time Max had a scene with Dane.

This is a ramble, but what I'm saying is: chemistry in media is a thing, and everyone perceives it differently. I didn't get reylo. And I don't see vaultghoul as a second-coming of that ship.

It's its own thing, in its own fucked up little way. And it's fun.

"But the ship is pseudo-incestuous!!" THE GIRL CANONICALLY FUCKED HER ACTUAL COUSIN???

Like incest bad. Don't do incest. Don't be Lucy. But I feel like maybe thats not the grounds on which to be arguing here? Never mind that they are literally NOT related (no matter your personal headcanons). Ms. 'Incest is a normal part of growing up' probably isn't going to be morally hung up on that. Even if she (in the case of actual incest, not headcanon father figure pseudo-incest) absolutely should be.

I don't even ship it myself. But Lucy Maclean is a capital F Freak. You gotta accept that.

[the-bi-fangirl-biatch]

if i had a nickel for every time i shipped:

a man that's an impossibly old creature that has a dark past and deals with problems in a harsher way than usual due to understandable circumstances and who is highly competent and charismatic (and who has a soft spot for dogs),

with a younger woman who is just new to the world of adventuring with (literal and figurative) wide eyes and a softer heart than most and who is skilled in her own way but grows to make the tough decisions in the end,

and they're both narrative foils of one another, both morphing into a little bit of each other....

AND the antis are calling it a father-daughter relationship

I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird thay it happened twice.

[zukkaoru]

could you tell me more about why you dislike femskk?

okay disclaimer before i begin: this is not meant to be a dig on every person who enjoys femskk. the biggest reason i don't like it is honestly because it's just not my cup of tea and honestly it really makes no difference to me if other people like it. but beyond that my biggest issues with it are

1. the phenomenon of fans "yuri-ifying" the most popular m/m ship and then using that to prove they like female characters and f/f ships. this is not a bsd-exclusive thing; it happens with stsg too and i don't like femstsg for the same reason. but there's a big difference between actually liking female characters and just genderbending (or even making transfem) the big m/m ship. i literally went to the f/f category in bsd on ao3 the other day looking for fics and about half of them are skk fics instead of fics about like. the actual female characters in bsd. who i was looking for fics of. similarly, there have been some redraw trends going around twitter - specifically the i prefer girls cover redraw - and i have seen. i don't even know how many femskk redraws of that (along with a couple femfyolais and a femrimlaine) but only one redraw with actual female characters from bsd. same with the scene 14 redraw that was going around, and while that one wasn't originally two female characters, i have still seen significantly more femskk (and femsigzai, femsigchuu, femfyolai, etc) than i have ships with even one character who is female in the source material.

and imo this phenomenon is made even worse in the bsd fandom bc so many fans just see bsd as the skk show. so of course they're writing off the actual female characters; they literally don't care about anything besides skk. and obviously i can't do anything to force anyone to care about other characters but like.... bsd has so many other wonderful characters and dynamics (both romantic and platonic) that a good half of the fanbase won't even glance at because they're not skk. i do like skk, but bsd is about so much more than just them. they are, objectively, only one small part of it. like if you only care about skk, then just be outright about it and don't pretend you're "proving" you like female characters and sapphic ships bc you like femskk too

2. of the fans who only like skk and nothing else about bsd, most of them. don't even characterize dazai and chuuya correctly? i think the some of the best skk characterizations i've seen have been from people who actually like other characters and ships too, and some of the worst skk characterization i've seen has come from people who literally don't care about any other ships or characters. this isn't a hard and fast rule obviously but even with 30k skk fics on ao3, i have struggled to find ones that actually feel true to their characters. and the characterization seems to only get worse when it's femskk. if you're just going to turn femdazai and femchuuya into two completely different people, what's the point in it even being skk? why not write k.ousano or h.igugin or even a ship with one canonically female character? if you have to change the core characteristics of both dazai and chuuya... do you even really like them?

3. about femdazai: i actually don't mind the transfem dazai headcanon in general but most fans get her wrong. i made a post about it here but basically so many times i see femdazais that are just. completely unrecognizable as dazai. you can't strip away core aspects of dazai like idk the fact that dazai doesn't show any skin from neck to toe just because you made her a girl. i have seen some femdazai that's good! but i have seen so much that is just fundamentally wrong for dazai's character as a whole. mostly on twitter.

4. about femchuuya: i really truly just don't get femchuuya. i THINK the hype here is probably bc lesbians seem to get attached to chuuya (which. valid. i am also a lesbian chuuya fan.) and so they want to draw a chuuya they can be attracted to (i.e. femchuuya) which like. cool whatever i'm not here to judge. but looking at it from a "would this character actually identify as female" perspective, i don't actually think i can picture that for chuuya. maybe it's just because i so strongly hc them as nonbinary? idk. this one is honestly just a neutral "i don't see that but you do you"

tl;dr: from what i've seen, femskk is often mischaracterized, and genderbending the big m/m ships in a fandom is often a way fans "prove" they like the female characters and f/f ships while not actually caring about anything other than their main m/m ship

this is probably a really stupid idea but hear me out: what if lucy gray actually does make it out of Panem and finds the free people living in the north and she ends up falling in love with a boy who looks like this

TBOSAS was a great movie and an even greater miss---here's why:

The problem here is no fault of the movie. It's not that it isn't a good adaptation or that it cut out too many important scenes. The casting was amazing, the acting phenomenal, the writing and plot translated immaculately into the screenplay format, and the ending was tragically beautiful. All of those boxes are ticked. The problem lies with one thing: Coriolanus Snow.

To understand what I mean, I'll bring the main trilogy to the stand. All of the books were written in first person from Katniss's pov. There were things that we as the audience don't know because Katniss doesn't know them and vise versa all do to her inner monologue. But there are also things we as the audience do know that Katniss doesn't because she's an unreliable narrator. She often misreads people because, whether she'll admit it or not, she's highly suspicious of those that aren't obviously weaker than her and is quick to judge in general. Her biases and black and white moral standpoint can be attributed to her environment, ptsd, and, though not confirmed, Autism (source: I'm actually Dr. Autism) or bpd. So, in this case, she's unreliable, but we understand it's not malicious and it was translated well in the movie (i.e. her thinking Peeta wanted her dead, her thinking Peeta is only acting like he's in love with her, her misconceptions about Finnick.)

Coriolanus Snow on the, other hand, is an entirely different case. He's a bad person at the start of the book and that isn't up for debate. His thoughts about Lucy Gray should make you angry, let alone about people who knew and cared for him for years (Tigris and Sejanus). He is also an unreliable narrator, but in a completely different sense than him. While hers is founded in ignorance and defensiveness, his is built in paranoia and narcissism. He's obsessive, possessive, demeaning to any and everyone, and thinks he's owed more than he is and hates anyone that has what he doesn't. We get all this through his inner thoughts as well (him hating the very idea of Lucy Grey being with anyone before him and likening her to a whore---implying she's slept with peacekeepers, wanting to own her in the literal sense of the word hating Sejanus for having basic human empathy, hating looking down on the Plinths who have been nothing but kind to him, so on and so forth). I say he's bad because, though he hasn't done any of the horrible things he thinks about or acts on them is because he didn't have the power or social standing to back them, something he has plenty of as a president. All this to say, the movie lacks that insight into the character that we gain with Katniss. Enough that people that have only watched the movie genuinely believe he was a nice person drove to the brink or thought there was a little gray area in regards to his morality. Enough that people that think the actor is hot will say they like "Coryo" not Snow, or some people send hate mail to the author because they think she tried to humanize him/excuse his behavior, the exact opposite of the point of the book. I don't fault the movie too harshly for this too harshly. Other than having a voice over, they could do very little to convey his every horrid thought. And because of this and Tom's phenomenal acting, Snow was able to manipulate the audience just like everyone else he fucked over.

Snow is a narcissist who can't wrap his mind around people genuinely being kind while having no ulterior motives, because he would never do that from the kindness of his heart. He thinks everyone is trying to back stab him and want to turn on him and are out to get him or are trying to embarrass him because that is what he would do if he was in their position. Unlike Katniss, he can read people and he can act his ass off, but unlike Katniss, he can't see the best in people because he doesn't want to/it doesn't benefit him. He had many opportunities to do the right thing or the kind thing and actively chose not to.

He, more than anyone in the Capitol, even more than Sajanus, should know what the Districts go through. He grew up poor, starved, and was forced to grow up too soon. He knows what it means to have nothing, be starved, and go into the arena and almost be killed. Yet, he looks down on them and sends children who were younger than him when he went into the arena, to their deaths because it benefits him.

He's a horrible person. He's always been bad, but he strove to be worse. I'm not saying the movie wasn't able to portray this in it's own way, but since it's not as obvious and in your face if you're too focused on how cute you think his face is, you can miss it. You'll find reasons to justify his actions just like he does and, ironically, become like his inner monologue where he continuously made himself the victim in almost every scenario.

Again, great movie! Fantastic even, my I beg of you, read a book. Or watch a youtube essay about it.

If I had a nickel for every time the D20 fandom shipped an F/F ship between two NPCs, one of whom is positioned as a major antagonist with ill intent towards the party, and one of whom was dead before the narrative began and specifically had been killed by the antagonistic NPC for religiously motivated reasons, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but honestly what the fuck

[tea-cat-arts]

I’ve noticed a pattern among (I’m tempted to call them “Lucy enthusiasts”?) and I refuse to elaborate

[binarisunset]

something that makes me hysterical about the movie is the way the writers took arguably the biggest moments of Coriolanus and Sejanus’s relationships with other people and made them about each other

like Lucy Gray singing the song she wrote for Coriolanus about how much she trusts and loves him and Coriolanus crying about it??

well no we can’t have that, we’re gonna have Coriolanus walking away from her singing it to chase after Sejanus and leave Lucy Gray looking heartbroken

and Coriolanus finding Sejanus’s pic with Marcus (and nothing about him) and realizing that Marcus and D2 is where Sejanus’s loyalties were always going to be?

can’t have that either! instead he’s gonna find a picture of himself and Sejanus right after Sejanus’s execution to make the betrayal hurt even more

I’m pointing out these changes as a snowjanus shipper myself, because they were critical moments in the book that worked as the culmination of these relationships and also served a specific purpose (Coriolanus realizing he’ll never be able to change Sejanus’s mind and Lucy Gray singing about how much she trusts Coriolanus only for that trust to be completely destroyed in the end)

and it’s not like snowjanus didn’t have moments in the book either, they had A LOT specifically during Part III that they could’ve used, but that would’ve required more time to properly develop the story and you really can’t do that in a movie that is already long as it is

[cookiemumster1]

it’s so funny to me that while i was watching the fallout show, i never even considered the ghoul and lucy as a ship because the entire time her and maximus were on screen i wanted them to be together
