#but our ship is just as valid

[ailoveuu]

I'll update y'all if I end up losing this friend bc of this lmaooo

Rhaenicent is a ship that has been discussed by actors, show runners, it’s visible in the script, they’re together on every art. The story revolves around them in the way you can’t separate them. They think about one another, even if they are aparat they’re connected. Lots of potential

Shuggy is ship between one character who is as neutral to the other as it gets. Its history was a gag for 90% of the story and it got small content from again only the obsessive guy. No one cares for them that much, they are not discussed even as a friends anywhere, they’re one of the least popular ship for shanks. Potential? Crocbug and mishanks has more and they’re not even that in the text

Don’t compare actual valid wlw ship to fans being delusional about brothers

Have you tried minding your own business instead of being rude on the internet to someone who's just comparing ship dynamics? 💀 I'm not even going to discuss this because your tone is madly disrespectful, but even if it wasn't, sending this to someone who clearly enjoys both ships just because you don't like one of them is straight-up mean.

It’s kinda funny. I enjoy Coby and Helmeppo as just #Besties as much as I like them as a ship. But as much as I’ve recently seen people call them brothers I can’t see them as brothers. In love? Sure. Queer platonic partners? Hell yeah. Besties that you’ve got to keep an eye on cause they are unstoppable together? Absolutely. Brothers? I don’t see it. To me they are not brothers they are In Cahoots.

That being said I think Tashigi and Helmeppo would absolutely be siblings they would roast the hell out of each others’ taste in people and also argue about swords. And also have each other’s back and share gossip.

Oh actually one more thing. I know I did Cobymeppo fic recs but people should let me know if they want me to rec some fics that are just Coby n Meppo as besties.

The entire basis for D/C in the show is that the two characters are not blood related and interact relatively frequently. That's it.

Now, plenty of ships people ship don't have substantially more than that either. Shipping it isn't crazy. Even thinking that relationship could hypothetically turn romantic isn't entirely crazy. Baseless, sure. Contradicted by everything Dean has ever legitimately indicated about his sexuality, yes. Deeply unlikely because of how fundamentally SPN is based around a different platonic relationship, no kidding. But shows have done weirder shit.

However? Thinking that relationship must be turned romantic because you ship it and dissect every scene - including the scenery and number of eyeblinks - for clues to convince yourself everything is romance-coded so the show owes you to make it a thing? Is absolutely fucking batshit.

Furthermore? Calling the writers, actors, production staff, whoever ~*HoMOpHoBiC*~ for not believing they owe a bunch of randos on the internet to change the story they're actually telling to include something they never intended and repeatedly told you they didn't intend? For thinking it is, in fact, an absurd joke for fans to continue to demand a storyline that doesn't exist outside fanfic and bad meta to be written into the canon? Is batshit with delusional entitlement and faux internet activism on top of it.

The cherry that's inevitably on top of this shit sundae is being supposedly very upset at ill treatment of LGBT+ concerns by SPN ... and yet never holding King Queerbaiter accountable for all the shit he did to lead fans on in trying and keep himself relevant and employed. The guy that repeatedly lied about the writers' intentions. They guy that repeatedly lied about Jensen's feelings about the ship and still makes creepy sexual comments about him. The guy who repeatedly leaked info about original versions of scenes cut or changed because they might mislead fans into thinking that ship was a thing in the canon. The guy who repeatedly teased fans to wait and see, or implied specific upcoming scenes would be D/C. The guy who had a year to realize Bury Your Gays is a bad thing and literally joked about it before fans yelled at him - but hey he was busy planning the ship merch he could sell before his rubes realized Castiel wasn't in the final two episodes. The guy who went through with making that clownshow Castiel's final scene, under the known conditions it would only be done if it was that inherently ambiguous and that unreciprocated. The guy who, at the very same Denver convention Jared is STILL getting shit over, dodged a question about what that scene meant by saying he has his interpretation of what Cass was thinking but doesn't want his answer to be the definitive one on what was happening - in contradiction to all his other bait-y blather at other conventions that it was totally "a homosexual declaration of love" and fans should be mad at anyone saying otherwise or whatthefuckever! So you can't even pretend he queerbaits with conviction - because he has the spine of a jellyfish and the integrity of a Misha Collins. But ~*somehow*~ that's not even questionable, let alone bad, compared to the utter evil of consistently telling them no over and over and over again and finding it ridiculous they won't take that for an answer! OmG HoMoPHoBIA!!! No.

trying 2 draw the disco elysium cast and struggling so hard bc my natural instinct is to make them generic-hot but it would be a disservice to every character especially kim and harrier dubious and i need to fight it every step of the way

[brutermonger]

Please..🥺

Trigun Fandom.. please Don’t do this to me! I’ve seen too Much. Fandoms reduced to smoldering ashes and soot because of Ship Wars!

Our whole Shtick is Love and Peace💖✌️Start Loving and Peaceing MORE!

i think my writing has gotten worse actually

Hey folks who go "This character wouldn't go for this gender"...

We get it. You're a certain way and so you tend to see the world through your own personalised filter. So do I and everyone else, though. Are we not valid?

And sure, no one is forcing you to consume content that makes you uncomfortable. You can avert your eyes any time, as long as you try to be tactful about it and not hurt anyone.

But just for once I'd like to see a "I'm [a certain way] and I don't hate on people who have it different" post instead. Just like I'm figting my own decades long programming by exposing myself to pretty pictures and stories whenever the two people/characters make sense to me, you might wanna do that with whatever makes you uncomfortable for whatever reason.

You know why? Because you're kinda being just like the people who say these things about your deal. The very people you might've been hurt by your whole life. And I don't feel like you mean to send this sort of signal (I hope you don't).

It doesn't feel nice having to read these comments. It doesn't feel nice having your choice devaluated, for any reason. Maybe consider that the next time you feel like dropping a post.

this will not make sense to anyone except me and my mind but

regulus x blobfish

[little-laurance]

Not to stir up trouble, but the Aphmau fandom can be so hard to be in sometimes cause all of us have increasingly strong parasocial relationships with characters who kinda sucked

annie in canon: visibly has a strong crush on ar.min.

If I had a nickel for every time someone was weirdly possessive over my OCs and continued to use them even after we lost contact and got upset with me when I politely asked them to please stop. I would have 3 nickels. Which isn't a lot. But it's annoying as hell that it's happened even once.

[destieldisaster]

Stooooooop praising the parallels

[frau-wilhelm-klink]

Creating ships because ✨️they need to bang✨️ and everybody but them knows it😏

I'm sorry I keep posting my tiktok comments but please. What does this mean. What do people THINK shipping is for anymore???

[snapcracklepop-myjoints]

I'm enamoured by your off-putting swagger but we seem to be divided by. being in different countries and me already dating the love of my life. happy to wingman though

HEY EVERYONE CECI IS COOL COME LUST AFTER HIM

thank you bestie i appreciate your wingman efforts <3 if anyone falls madly in love with me i will credit you

i think there's a lot of overlap between being aro/ace and being ficto... that's not a brand new and shocking revelation at all i know lol but i've been thinking about that with me.

i'm not exclusively ficto, and i'm not 100% aroace but i am on the spectrums of them. my gray-ace/demisexuality comes before my ficto attraction- even with fictional people, i'd have to establish a bond with them before being sexual or romantic with them. like in every world my f/os are in, my s/is never skip straight to being in bed with them lol
