#because they 'ruined' the gay ships

one of the WORST things i see in fandom/ship discourse is when people say "straight ships just dont sit right with me.." like hey.. what do u mean by that.
ESPECIALLY if we're talking about GIRLS who EXCLUSIVELY like mlm ships... i dont care what you say, i think youre fetishizing gay men and youre weird for this. (same thing with guys who exclusively ship wlw but i see that less in fandoms.)
but then, on the other side of this we get people calling them "heterophobic.." NOOOO THAT ISNT REAL IM LITERALLY RIPPING MY HAIR OUT THAT IS NOT A THING.
its not "straightphobic," in fact its literally more homophobic than anything (do not deny that its super fetishy, we all know that its fetishization so dont play dumb..)
(im not saying u have to ship straight ships btw i literally dont care, ship what u want, im SPECIFICALLY talking about people who hate on them, call them toxic because theyre straight, comment on every post that their gay ship is better, etc.. generally just people who are super annoying and fetishy about it. not just people who ship what they ship.. the thing im talking about is basically watered down fujoshis..)
#this happens in EVERY fandom#its inevitable i think.. but im tired of seeing it#lemme tag some of the fandoms im thinking about sorry u can ignore this post lol#pjsk#project sekai#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#any anime actually#EVERY anime actually..#im not going to tag mlp because i think it deserves to be untainted by this#HOWEVER.. i have seen people do this about fluttercord and pinkie pie x cheese sandwich#mfs act like the ponies having semi-canon husbands and canon baby daddies makes them homophobic#because they 'ruined' the gay ships#SHUT UP OH MY GOD#they didnt ruin anything i hate ship discourse ur literally weird#just cuz ur ship isnt canon doesnt mean u have to stop shipping it#i love twipie!! it will never be canon and I DONT CARE!!#tloz#the legend of zelda#lemme elaborate on that one#i see lots of people hc link as transmasc (lovely hc) and then say that that makes zelink a non-straight ship#hey buddy. thats literally transphobic. whats wrong with u.#sorry for posting discourse again im just bein silly

like the only thing that makes me uncomfortable about straight boy ships is the like. "female cuckoldry" aspect where ppl are like yeah theyre cheating on their bitch girlfriends bleh bleh like theres always misogyny embedded there and ESPECIALLY if their irl gf/wifes are not content creators or just arent as much in the limelight its like. weird! i realize the phannie is saying this but i do actually have morals with rpf lol and it turns out my moral line is misogyny
#cuz really when people talk about rpf ruining friendships its bc of that#its bc of people being weird about their actual partners and saying crazy shit about no the baby isnt even a real baby guys#theyre cucking their partners whomst we hate for stepping in between yaoi#phan works well with me because well.#as phil said he loves the CONCEPT of women so.... no one to step in between really#and like the stuff with shipping catrific got weird not because its any weirder than phan#(yes i really believe that even today knowing they are gay)#but because people made it weird by harassing cat for no reason other than being a public woman#who sometimes hangs out with dnp.#she doesnt deserve that jermas gf doesnt deserve that

transwoman Druvis and gay Forget Me Not ruins my life and makes my head bang the walls (lovingly)
RIGHT???? RIGHTTTTTTTT??????? I love that ship so much when there's always something irreconcilable between them and when they're extremely divorced
#reverse 1999#and also I love complex and very human dynamics#yeah hes a gay man. yeah shes a transwoman. yeah they still love each other to a degree#you cannot expect feelings to vanish over something like this#especially when the thing that separates them (identities that dont match) is also smth that unites them (being queer in the 20s)#they're an old divorced queer couple TO ME#i like the idea of FMN being w/ druvis partially bc he projects heavily onto her#and her transition fucks him up because he sees himself in her#and seeing her being able to change and grow and be happier with herself ruins his whole projection thing#bc it implies that he too can heal and change for the better. which is smth he cannot ever admit lest the the weight and consequence#of his actions ever catch up to hin#while druvis is desperate for companionship support and community#look i could write a whole essay abt these two i love this ship in a very specific way

When you’re so hyperfixated you feel physically ill seeing any other character shipped with your faves
#Kakagai#Maito Gai#Kakashi hatake#I enjoy my hyperfixations but I won’t lie and say that it’s fun#when you start to get REAL fixated on it and any ship / mischaracterization literally ruins your day#is when you know you’re really fully autistic#it can be so embarrassing#I’ll be at work and come across any other Kk or Gai ship and feel my heart drop to my stomach#and I can’t just rot in bed and consume content of them because I have a job to do it’s bad LOL#sins posting

i forgot to draw something for pride month so heres creek. you know. as a treat
the true pride festival experience (i had my first one this year! it was so fun!! i also lowkey fell in love with some cute alt kid but i was also a state away from home and they did not talk to me)
#south park#tweek tweak#craig tucker#sp creek#creek#pride month#trans craig tucker#honestly the problem with creek is the fear of mischaracterizing them#like back when i was a major creek fan there was so much back and forth on what canon creek is#like NOO!!! TWEEK CANT HAVE EYELASHES!!! STOP MAKING HIM UWU!!!!#or NOO!! CRAIG ISNT JUST GAY!! HES MORE COMPLEX!!!#its all just out of some weird sp fan fear of being an actual fandom#which… it is. its always been.#shipping and cosplay and fanfic and fanart are just sp fans being a fandom#it mightve just been because i was on sp PINTEREST (never again)#but the pressure creek (and mostly craig) stans put on fanartists and fanfic authors to make them fit their perfect image of both of them#is just so overwhelming#its like 25% of the reason i dont like creek anymore#ill still draw and write them though because i dont let fandoms ruin stuff for me#because thats cringe asf#also sp tumblr solos i love you guys ur all so nice

My madoka magica hot take is I like sayaka/kyoko as a ship more than madoka/homura
#madoka magica#both ships are very very good and make me feral but god kyoko/sayaka really caters to me#i am biased cuz sayaka is my favorite character lol and i just want good things for her#but i mean we get them as enemies fighting to the death obsessively like sayaka gets so focused on proving herself to kyoko she cant think#of anything else and she wastes her energy fighting her instead of witches and just the foil like#both used their wish to grant something for someone else and kyoko lost everything as a result and decided that nothing good will ever come#of helping others so she should only look after number one and of course shed think that cuz shes all she has left#meanwhile sayaka refuses to take care of herself because she never wants others to suffer so she only exists for others#and both of them change their perspectives in pursuit of each other theyre literally red and blue#and i love seeing the development of their relationship and kyokos feelings i love her offering to kill ryosuke for sayaka#and how terrified she is in that moment when she sees sayakas lifeless body separated from the soul gem#or how she shares her story and remembers why she started fighting because of sayaka and fucking#THE WAY SHE ACTS SELFLESSLY AND STUPIDLY OPTIMISTIC TO SAVE SAYAKA FROM HER WITCH FOR#THE WAY SHE SACRIFICES HERSELF TO CONNECT WITH HER THE LOVE SONG#THEM HOLDING HANDS WHILE SAYAKA CRIES AND KYOKO IS THERE FOR HER AND THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER SO WELL#god fucking dammit these fucking gay people are ruining my sleep#yeah idk if its obvious but i have a specific type when it comes to ships i love when characters beat each other up and are the center of#each others motivations and go through the horrors together and come out the other side and love each other deeply#love each others flaws and theres understanding and tenderness#i haaaave to draw them but i also have to draw a lot of blorbos rn alkksk

breaking my silence (was never silent about it) but the One Thing i hate the most about this godforsaken fandom is its obsession with a character that was there for like two scenes and had the most underwhelming basic underdeveloped relationship with one of the mains
#not even tagging anything this is about t*a of course#and like. i'm not naming names purely bc i don't want anti posts to be ending up in character tags#bc i mind my business and im not trying to ruin anyone's fun BUT personally.#personally i think dlaud and kave shouldn't be a thing we still talk about every two posts in SEASON FOUR#can you let me out. can i escape this#im joe king btw. or like im not but i get being obsessed with EXTREMELY minor characters#it's just. it's always felt to me like one of those things you ship because it's the only gay option#which sure. fine. but personally they send me to bed

I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂
#welcome to another Mick Airs Out Their Grievances and by god is it a VERY long one#prob best if u don't expand the tags#am I being maybe a bit meaner about this than I would be for any other movie? maybe but pac rim is one of my favorite movies of all time#so I think I get a pass on this one.#one of the groups on campus is hosting movie nights & I went to this one bc I've only ever watched pac rim on my laptop and wanted to watch#it on a larger screen. yay yippee I love this movie!#there r maybe 10-ish of us in this room and a three person friend group is sitting on the couch one of whom has seen the movie and two who#have not. okay so far so normal.#and then the movie starts and they won't! stop! fucking! commentating! the whole fucking movie!!! I don't have a problem with doing that#when I'm in just my friend group because I know that I can tell my friend to stop talking or pause the movie or whatnot but not when I'm in#a large group w people I'm not good friends with ffs#and the comments aren't even funny or anything they're all oh this is JUST like in iron widow!! oh they're SO gay and autistic!!! and#they're talking so loud about this that it completely drowns out the movie audio which has already been turned up a few times#like. be considerate!! some of us want to yknow actually listen to what's going on and not whatever bullshit you're saying#I nearly walked out three or four times before I actually wound up doing so#I may have been a bit of a bitch at the end but I don't care. I got up to leave because this was not an enjoyable environment and one of#them offered to turn the movie down if it was too loud. this caught me a bit off guard since I expected them to still be so wrapped up in#their convo and. well. I may have said 'it's not the movie that's too loud' before closing the door#this also reminds me a lot about my issues with online shipping culture and it bleeding through into how we interact with media irl#this is probably heavily influenced by my aromanticism but I'm so sick of people constantly reading romantic relationships into everything#AND placing more importance on those relationships than any other form. I don't mind romance in media. I think if done right it has great#emotional impact on a story but when a movie is running and when other people who may not want to hear it are in the room watching it too#is not the time to be loudly saying 'he's autistic!' 'they're in love!' 'she has a crush on him!'#I have my own interpretations of the movie some of which agree with what they said and some of which don't but that's beside the point of#knowing how to coexist politely in public#anyway. I think they were awful and annoying and they ruined my night out.#I think I'm just so incredibly mad about this because I love the movie and I was looking forward to watching it in a group of people who#found it cool as well while still having some modicum of politeness#I almost wish I had been meaner but that's the extreme annoyance talking I think#hater hour over love u guys bye

I fucking HATE how the fandom treats m.ine. it's so bad 😭
#ash rambles 💚#so many shitty takes... too much time on twitter ruins a man#i hear one more person call him a crazy obsessive yandere and i think I'm actually gonna lose it#he's either portrayed like that or as one half of a ship#his actual character is lost on so many people because oOoOOoOOooOoO mInE wAs GaY#i dont doubt that he likes men. it's just that I've seen so many people be weird about it-#also. it's not fucking sexy to wanna kill your partner. a bullet between the eyes isn't an act of love.#I saw a tweet today about how m.ine actually wanted to kill k.iryu because he thought d.aigo liked k.iryu romantically#and m.ine only wants d.aigo to himself. and THAT'S why m.ine wanted to kill k.iryu.#let that sink in. 😐.#i hate how the fandom treats him SO MUCH#i will sit in my corner here. and i will kiss m#m.ine. and we will kiss a lot. and things are good. we are happy. we are far away from all of that.#I'm not saying every fan of his is horrible. I've seen a lot of great stuff and content! but holy shit I've seen some horrible stuff too#and it's hard to not feel like I'm doing something wrong by shipping with him. by loving a guy who the world has always hated.#and ofc I'm not! but still! even whenever i rb content of him here I'm always so afraid ajdhajsj#like ah yes this is the day i finally get cancelled on tumblr dot com for (checks notes) ... shipping with y.oshitaka m.ine??#I'm honestly afraid to take him up to being an official f/o ajdhajsb i think he'll stay in crush jail a little while longer..#i hate how the fandom perceives him so much!!!!!!! i also just hate the y.akuza fandom in general lmao#i do also like k.iryu so.. I've seen shit 😐#I'll delete this later but oh boy i am in a mood#and i know this isnt the first time I've blogged about this#and for that i do apologize. but i really do love this guy and despite wanting to look for content of him i always end up finding the most#infuriating shit!#i know he's done fucked up things. he's not a great guy. but! our relationship is built on mutual trust and i will NEVER write any of that#creepy obsessive shit that the stupid fandom always portrays him as doing! he's not going to kill someone for getting too close to me-#I'm just... upset- get behind me honey! I'll shield you!#and by kissing him I'm not brushing over any of the shit he does in the game. yes he beheaded that guy. yeah he slapped that orphan.#but i adore him and omg i hit tag limit... oopsie daisy lol sorry guys 😭 I'm really sorry for always talking abt this#you were beautiful 💸

I think doing shipping through and aroace lens makes things complicated but also interesting. I think one reason I don't enjoy straight ships as much is because it's very rare for people write/talk about them with a queerplatonic dynamic. straight romance is so "normalized" in society, it's hard to get any other dynamic out of those ships from other people in conversation or writing. it's mostly always romantic. (especially when "guys and girls can't be *just* friends" is extremely common and has ruined mamy of my own friendships) but I enjoy a handful of a straight ship with that dynamic. it's just way more rare to see talked about than gay ones from my observation. anyway point is, more queerplatonic type ships and stuff please! those aren't explored enough!
#its really hard for me to describe what queer platonic means to me and how i see it and how that applies to ships i enjoy or even irl#i guess one way to explain it is being life partners without the need for romantic/sexual stuff and they dont date other people#dedicated to each other for life and act like partners but arent romantic/sexual about it.#example are cynonari. they adopter collei togther and are dedicated to each other. but theyre very fun as queer platonic relationship#and for straight version theres himeko and welt. a strong pair. work well togther. our train parents. platonic but life partners#partners in this crazy space train adventure that take care of us gremlin kids#and then theres also the queer straight platonic dynamic that's fun as well. 2 queers who form a straight platonic ship#think kafblade. how i like to imagine it is a lesbian and agender-aroace-gay-in-previous-life come together as platonic life partners#playing with this stuff and going outside the normal gender/sexuality box is fun#lee text#lee rambles#ive seen hi3 fans get very loudly upset about hsr fans shipping himeko and welt. but i never see them discussed as queerplatonic!#it could make everyone happy haha. life partners but not the romance. theyre our train parents but they arent a married couple!#disclaimer: ship your own ships. this is only about my ships and how i feel#before identifying as nonbinary i was subjected to the whole “guys and girls cant be just friends” bulshit and lost friends over it#im not even allowed to be friends with people as an aroace if im seem as a binary gender!!!!! it makes me so angry#i think straight shipping as an aroace that enjoys queerplatonic dynamics is a very weird trigger for bad feelings from those experiences😅#but its not why i prefer thos dynamic. the why is just being aroace in general and wanting that kind of relationship if i had a partner#but having a side of straight obsessed people ruining our friendships over their straight obsession feels bad#by straight obsession i mean we cant be friends anymore because they decided they saw me as a binary gender opposite theirs 🙄#and accused me of liking them and said im the one that ruined the relationship#where was i going with this i think im just rambling and info dumping about my brain stuff too much 😅

why have we decided, as a society, that a kiss or a confession is what makes a love story a love story
#oh my god it could be about so many people#but it's actually about neil and todd#dead poet society#i'm angry at every human who uses “they're not gay” every time they don't agree with a ship#okay joanne#why would they be straight#they could be pan#bi#omni#i don't fucking know#you CAN obviously not like a ship but first of all don't ruin the fun for others#and second have a little media literacy#breaking news#mutants are an allegory for minorities#poc#lgbt#people with disabilities#anyway#bowglimmer#THEY DIDN'T KISS NOR FULLY CONFESS AND YET WE KNOW THEY'RE A THING BECAUSE CHEMISTRY MATTERS MORE#oh and friendships are love stories too lol

*grabs your hands earnestly*
it's not about the Canon, that is not to invalidate any feelings that is to say we are fandom, our works are transformative because we take the bits and pieces of a something we love and we break it, take the pieces that speak to us a spin them into something that resonates, it's about the dynamics and the potential and putting characters we adore In Situations because the narrative failed them or it failed us, or for fun or for science or just because it's fucking hot, it's not that serious and it holds a certain gravitas
it's playing in the sandbox, pure and simple, beholding ourselves to Canon is the antithesis of Spirit of the thing
do you see?
#idk#im not tagging this anything#because this is not a call out by any means#its a lament#bc ive seen a few sentiments about how it hurts too much to ship it now#about abandoning intended fic bc the joy is gone#and look i Get that feeling#i was there gandalf#overly invested in nearly every major and minor subtext queerbait bury your gay sweeps week bullshit since 2005 And more retroactovely#im here now#and im not gunna pretend i didnt get zapped of a bit of that uppercase Joy with how certain things unfolded#but the shift in fandom of only shipping with the hopes of canon is wild#i saw the shift happen in real time like i know it was britanna that paved the way for what it is now#because i watched it happen#but despite the ache in my chest i always feel bc i am if nothing else overly invested in doomed femslash#i see such fertile ground to plant art and fic#aus and fix its#angst and canon divergence#the relationship is in ruins but isn't that a delicious place to tell a story from?#this is a fandom that produced 180 fics in a mere month#you all are so cool dont abandon that bc things got a little fucky this season#nows the time to rise gdi#we win by not letting them dictate how we play with their toys#i feel very old man yells at clouds coded rn im sorry

me: *does not stop complaining about the aos movies*
also me:
#LISTEN#it’s legit like some of my favorite casting choices ever#i cant help it#i can and will eat up any version that gives my man’s sulu a bigger role okay#even tho I do bitch about the unecessary Spock uhura romance the entire time#HES GAY#and so is she#and she’s too good for him anyways sorry not sorry#also the personality changes kinda make my eye twitch it’s by far the least of the crimes#spirk#like frankly it’s ridiculous how obvious the attempt was to squash all shipping stuff#with that weird romance#especially because it would have made more sense for Kirk and uhura given the ending of the original show#but they chose Spock deliberately#and yet the chemistry between pine and quinto was still too strong lmaooooo#Spock and Jim are just like that#you cant change the homoeroticism without completely ruining their dynamic#but boy they sure tried it!#star trek aos

oh god okay i understand that maybe not everyone is as indecisive/comfortable with saying "it depends!" as me, but like, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, but i just can't take people who call izzy a villain seriously
#he's a little annoying dude. i swear to fuck#'the real villain in the show is the system and izzy is siding with the system' babygirl he's a pirate 😭 he really isn't 😭#he could NOT more clearly be -- he literally IS -- that kind of gay man who wears his leathers and anger as an armor because being scary ha#been his way of fighting The System => being consumed and destroyed by it; and who looks down and feels disgusted by flamboyant#and effeminate soft-handed gays because if they're this soft then they clearly haven't experienced this kind of abuse that would make them#harden up. ....you know what i mean.#like idk this show in general like... doesn't have a 'villain'? it's about stede (and ed's) journey and their development. not necessarily#about their Conflict With Someone/Something. i guess it might change in s2 but idk. there are just Situations in which they find themselves#and because of/md is a comedy no one really... holds things against other characters in a long-term way? izzy stabs stede and sells him#out to the english and ed punches him for the latter (which he says 'ok fair' about!!! like!!!) but does he go 'and for all the shit you've#done i'm Firing you as my first mate? no! he slams him against the wall and feeds him his toe but he's like. ok get up and back to work#and he doesn't seem particularly disgusted or upset with him in that final blackbeard's flag 2.0 moment. (nor manipulated; inb4)#like. it's a workplace romcom. the workplace is a pirate ship but it's a workplace and izzy is that annoying coworker who's a bitch and#often ruins everyone's fun but no one like... Seriously ostracizes him. more like applies some light bullying BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY.#COMEDY. do we remember that?#and like. it seems he's going to have a bit of a larger (?) role in s2... it really doesn't seem like the show sees him as a 'villain' or#even an active 'antagonist' either. like ok let's agree 2 disagree and may both sides block each others' asses into oblivion because god#knows both sides have some annoying people but mannnn sometimes... insisting that things Can be divided into Good and Bad... is worse?#shrimp thoughts#once again i wrote a tag novel about an incredibly silly thing. welcome to leatherbookmark

people really will hate female characters for the stupidest shit
#‘man A picking her instead of man B makes me hate her because man B is sad’#tbh idc if you like or don’t like characters#it’s just so fucking annoying to see people hate female characters because they ‘ruined’ a gay ship
