#but I am not a shipper I fear

[ellsarchive]

Can I confess that I actually don’t ship people. Like anyone. I mean there’s people that I’m like “oh I wouldn’t mind if they got tgt” but I do not care at all

one thing for the warriors fandom from the comics that I think is just a cool detail: Rembrandt is a highschool student. This was explored in 'The Warriors: Jailbreak' comic (which is considered still cannon), with the side plot of flashbacks focusing on the relationship between Ajax, Rembrandt, and Rembrandts schooling

That's a piece of cannon to do with what you wish!

paul holden who shows up at the curtis house for thanksgiving dinner because he can’t bear the blank walls, the table full of food that wouldn’t get eaten, his father’s cold stare across the table. paul who’s welcomed inside with no questions asked, given a spot at the table, and is treated like a part of the family. paul who enjoys the atmosphere and the kindness of darry and his family but he knows he’ll never quite fit in with them, and he’ll always have his own— well, what you could call family.

Any ships you don’t like in the batfam fandom that is popular?

OOOH this is such a fun question because I have quite a few

StephCass - i'll be honest this is one of those ships where the fandom ruined it for me. because 2000s StephCass is an elite dynamic, they care for each other so deeply. but the fandom has been intent on defanging and purifying this ship. i don't know *why* but StephCass seems most popular with the anti-Batcest crowd who get very mad if you compare it to ships they deem Batcest. i have an entire meta commentary on this in my drafts I'll likely never post discussing why the only reason StephCass gets the pass for not being Batcest ties directly into misogyny (because the women of the Batfam need to exist as love interests first, not family members so Steph was never going to truly get to exist as a "full" Batfam member so long as she could remain a viable love interest for Tim, and the same can apply to Babs, Helena, and even Cass in some cases) and that just sours me to it. like if i want yuri in Batfam i think there are far more interesting/fucked up ships for Steph like Babs/Steph or Helena/Steph. and when it comes to what i'd actually like to see in canon, i don't want to see Steph relegated to love interest of a Batfamily member, even if it's queer. let her date and exist outside of Gotham the way every other Batfam member gets to, DC *please*.

Bruce/Selina - i can't fully articulate why this ship isn't my thing, it just isn't. i think i just can't conceivably agree with Selina letting go of so many of her fundamental morals and beliefs for the sake of a man, even one she loves such as Bruce. ironically, i think that's one of the few things Gotham War got right about these two. the only canon love interest i like for Bruce is Zatanna and i mourn we'll never get much of that.

JayRoy - i will admit when i was newer to DC the first comics i picked up for Jason were all New-52 and i shipped this. but now that i'm a pre-Flashpoint truther and i've actually read well-written Roy Harper comics, i only see the flaws in this ship. ngl if ppl were actually fun and interesting with it, playing with the idea of Roy knowing Jason as Robin and still seeing him as just Dick's little brother who's gone a little mental, it *could* be fun. but this Red Hood & the Outlaws (2011) and Red Hood/Arsenal (2015) dynamic *butchers* the fuck out of Roy and strips him of everything interesting. and even as a Batfamily stan, my number one pet peeve is when other DC characters get *butchered* in a Batfamily character's book just for the sake of propping up the Bat as some kind of savior. free Roy Harper from this mans.

Bruce/Oliver - we could be here all day if i listed all the Bruce ships i don't like, but i figure this one has to be included. because oh my god either the people shipping this *really* don't understand Oliver Queen or they just hate his ass because why would you subject Oliver to this man. he can't *stand* Bruce. i really hate the popular BruOliie shipping dynamic of like "oh they were boarding school besties" because if you want that, you *should* like Bruce/Zatanna, not these two. Oliver just always gets butchered in these fics and i won't stand for it.

Tim/Bernard - the ESSAYS i could write on this ship and why i dislike it. the fucking *fear* DC (and most popular media tbh) has with depicting queer relationships as anything other than totally perfect and cute for fear of accusations of homophobia has stripped this ship of *any* real grit. Bernard is a non-character in Tim Drake: Robin, he exists to cheer Tim on and prop him up and just be The Boyfriend. we occasionally get glimpses of an interesting character with really interesting trauma and nothing is *done* with it bc at the end of the day, Tim and Bernard must be perfect and cute. what's fun about Tim is he is the *worst* boyfriend alive. that boy is *ass* at dating. all of his relationships are rich with conflict and yet the moment he dates a guy suddenly all of his flaws vanish? i hate it. i mourn what this could've been if we kept messy Tim Drake and had a Bernard who was actually informed by his trauma. DC please let gays be messy again. also of all of Tim's 90s/00s friends to bring back as a love interest, Bernard Dowd was just a *bizarre* fucking choice. Sebastian Ives was *right* there come on now.

Any Crossover Ship - look if crossovers are your cup of tea i'm happy for you but oh my god if i have to see that little green ghost boy or that ladybug girl in the Batfam one more time i think i may explode. i have a lot of thoughts on *why* i think specifically Danny Phantom and Miraculous Ladybug get crossed over as often as they do with the Batfam, but i don't think anyone wants to year that. my only exception to this is Jason/Bucky Barnes, but it *has* to be comics!Bucky. like. Judd Winick's Jason and Ed Brubaker's Bucky would hatefuck and that i wish to see it. any other crossover ship (especially the Peter Parker ones that seem to be rising in popularity) just do *not* do it for me.

honestly besides that i don't think i dislike many ships. (aside from being super opinionated on Bruce ships, but that's mostly bc ppl will use him to butcher the character they ship him with) there are some ships i'm neutral to because i simply do not know enough to have an opinion (like Dick/Wally). i guess the only Batcest ship i'm not particular to is Bruce/Damian, but I wouldn't say that one is popular nor would i say i dislike it, just that it's not my cup of tea. most Batcest ships click for me in one way or another because i like their Weird dnyamics. i guess i could also say i dislike most ships that have come out of Young Justice (tv) because. oh my *god* why were those group of characters put together on a team. it's baffling. but even then it's not disliking those ships, it's moreso disliking that show's depiction of those characters so. everything is really dependant on the canon context for me!

Hi I am yapping abt llorumi again but less about hating the idea of them together at all in any way because Im slightly normaler in the head. However

I need people who call llorumi toxic yuri and say people can't handle it toxic yuri bc they dont like llorumi to come to me with a real actual f/f ship. You are not taking a moral high ground while genuinely legitimately arguing characters who, in canon, are a man and a woman, are yuri

So I've been reading Intoxicating Fear for a while now and (Oskit shippers don't come after me) I don't see Kit and Ambrose being together. I get Ambrose but can be somewhat gentle with Kit, but I just don't think I've really seen it till now. I don't think their vibes or morals line up. I could see Jude and Ambrose together, as like a power couple of sorts, but I think don't Kit and Ambrose would be well together. (I'm sorry if this is repetitive and no one asked for my opinion on the matter. I love your work so much,

HAH HAAAAAAGGHH!!! YES!!!! WOOOOO!!!! THANK YOU ANON!!!!!! *sending kisses and bouquets of roses and popping champagne* I ABSOLUTELY ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION ON THE MATTER!!!! HAHAAAHHH! I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! Now, Oskit shippers also don’t come for me, but I agree!!! Wholly and completely.

I agree that Ambrose can be gentle, and that their morals or vibes join up at all! My reasoning against them as a couple is simply because Kit would never, ever forgive Ambrose for what he did to him, what he took from him. Kit didn’t have a good life growing up, and then he found Mentor and his calling in the Hero academy — so when Mentor took him in and gave him a home and a life and love, Kit slowly, very slowly, let his guard down and started to believe the stories and movies about life being good, and then— Omen attacks and Kit is left alone again after taking the risk of hoping for a better life for himself.

It also doesn’t sit well with me because who has the power in their relationship? Ambrose, always, always Ambrose. So even if Ambrose made advances would Kit be too afraid to say no? And that makes it too like situations that happen in real life for me

Jude and Ambrose however? They are on the same kind of power balance (both in power and status and how they hold themselves) which would be a-okay to write, but because Kit is Ambrose’s second victim *ever* [and also just his victim] it is far too personal for Kit to ever get passed that and love Ambrose —— unless, Ambrose compelled him, and then it kind of goes into the Jessica Jones realm

Having said that, Oskit shippers, I get it, I love a good unbalanced power dynamic myself where love blooms — hell power imbalances in general (esp in whump, WOOF) — and I also love that you see something in the story that I never intended, and felt strongly enough about it to bring it to my attention!!! It has been a very fun and fucking hilarious experience, and I really like the coffee shop AU idea so it probably will happen, just not in canon 😉

But ANON, may the gods smile on you today for sharing your thoughts and opinions on the matter, I thought I was fighting against the army of Oskit shippers by myself, but now we can go back to back and fend them off with spears XD

hiiii again!! :3 ty for telling me how to properly <3 jeff!! but i was wondering about how cutesifying and shipping him was problematic? i would NEVER do such a thing, even despite how i type xD, but it would love an in depth explanation! ty again!!! <3

Ugh...where 2 begin?? TW: anger. Rage. I am going through a tough time. And this is a sensitive subject for me. Read...if you dare.

FIRST Jeff is not "cute" nor is he shipping material. Not 2 say that Jeff is not worthy of love and respect (he deserve both in infinitum) BUT he is never shown 2 have any romantic interest in anyone in the source material. I am not saying that one cannot draw conclusions based on this (one may "headcanon" him as gay, straight, acesexual, bisexual, etcetera), but it is problematic to force him in2 relationships with people he does not approve of. Ask yourself with everything you do: would Jeff like this? Would he approve? If the answer is no, then it might be time 2 reevaluate yourself.

SECOND there is a gay problem in this fandom. NOT SAYING that I hate gays! In fact, I once had a gay friend...yes, this Worm is loving. What happened 2 that friend? Well, if you know anything about me, you should know...(that friend was also trans gender. See? This Worm doesn't discriminate...well, unless ur a bully or a hater (that is 2 say that if you are a bully or a hater I will only discriminate against u on those grounds. If you are a gay and bully I still do not like you but good for you for being gay. I wish you a happy BF (boyfriend) filled life but also a life where you trip and fall and knock out all ur teeth because ur a bully)))))))))

The Gay Problem I am addressing is in fact for the benefit of the Gay Community. I think people assuming Jeffrey is gay feeds into them "cutesifying" him. Jeff can be gay. You can headcanon him as such. But is being gay a reason for someone not 2 be cool? NO!!!!! And we all know Jeff the Killer is the epitome of cool. I am noticing a correlation between making Jeff into a CUTE UWU BLUSHES *NUZZLES* TICCIJEFF YAOI~~BL~~ character and headcanoning him as gay. you can make him gay as long as he stays COOL. That is all I am saying. YOU CAN BE GAY AND BE COOL I REPEAT JUST BECUZ U R GAY DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE 2 UWU AND OWO ALL OVER THE PLACE (Ex: Maximus P. used 2 be cool. Back when we were friends. Now, not so much...) So yeah. That's the gay problem.

SHPPING him is another similar matter. Jeff simply is too complex 2 be shipped with any lesser Creepypasta. Perhaps if he found an equal (I am slightly less offended by shipping him with Jane the Killer becuz I feel there are lots of nuances 2 be explored and I feel Jane does possibly have the depth necessary 2 comprehend Jeff's inner workings). But I most often see people shipping him with Ticci Tobi which WHY???????????? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DOES TICCI TOBIN EVEN DO WHAT IS HIS THING IM SORRY I DONT GET IT CALL ME A FAKE CREEPYPASTA FAN (TW: don't. U will face my wrath if u do) BUT I DO NOT LIKE TICCI TOBI OTHER THAN AESTHETICALLY (bless the fanart of u fans. Very talented people. I look upon your art with admiration no hate peace and love) HE DOES NOTHING HE HAS NO COMPLEXITIES ALL EVERYONE MAKES HIM OUT 2 BE IS UWU OWOWOWOWOW S3X WITH JEFF SHIRTLESS TOBI AUTISTIC TOBI (no hate 2 autistic people RE: Maximus P. and also Corbin from school and also some people at school call me autistic no hate peace and love peace and love) BUT THAT IS ALL YOU GIVE HIM WHO IS HE WHAT DOES HE DO HE IS NOTHING COMPARED 2 JEFF WHO CONTAINS MULTITUDES JEFF IS AN ONION TOBI IS A GLASS ONION (a song my dad likes and explained 2 me and alos like the detective movie) HE IS NOTHING. NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hhhhhhhh.....seething........................................................................

*Deep breath*

*Composes myself*

(I just learned about asteriks. They mean 2 imply that the speaker is doing an action)

Grrr....those "fan"girls (and boys and others) only want a charicature of Jeff...not the real thing. They simplify him down into a funhouse mirror stereotype. They want 2 see him without his scars...2 take away his identity just 2 make him match their idealized vision of "perfection." Hmph. Go read some BL....that might be a little easier for u 2 digest. Leave Jeff the Killer 2 the adults.
