exactly, anon, exactly. shouto is the lesser of three evils LMAO. shouto will treat you the best out of the three, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll treat you well.

[pluralhottakes]

sometimes pro endos and anti endos should just. chill. interact. don't limit yourself to only interacting with people with morals that are 100% the same as yours. everyone's all "no one is perfect" until the imperfection is that they don't agree with you on something. like no actually flaws aren't just skills people aren't good at, they're also moral things

tl;dr just chatting with people who disagree with you is ok and not everything is about syscourse

I'll be honest, as a rando I completely agree with you on the canary curse thing but it sounded so cringe and you worded it very poorly

what the fuck is this even trying to say? Bestie of course I worded it poorly I wrote it in probably under ten minutes while shaking from my extremely fucked up dopamine levels. I don't even know which post this is talking about

Anyway um i dont even really know how to respond this 😭 think before you speak I guess

I don't know if you're aware of this or not already but Pearl has said multiple times that she is incredibly uncomfortable with people shipping her, whether it be her real self or her characters. I know this is supposed to be "for the fans" but personally as a fan I find it kinda gross that people who are supposed to be fans will still purposefully go against boundaries that she's made clear many times over, fully knowing how uncomfortable it makes her. even if you go to the lengths to make it that much more unlikely that she'll see it, you can't guarantee that she won't see and/or hear about it.

I'm going to try to explain my thoughts as succinctly as I can because this is a mentality many people have and I feel like providing the viewpoints of the other side of this discussion is important.

I understand that it is important to respect the boundaries of CCs and to not actively make them uncomfortable. But the thing about boundaries is that it only applies in spaces where we are interacting with the CCs.

Boundaries are set to avoid CCs from coming into contact with uncomfortable situations in their personal spaces where they are interacting with their community. It's there to make sure their environment is comfortable for them.

I haven't mentioned this blog to cc Pearl in any way, shape or form. I haven't entered into her personal spaces to inform her about this bracket, or the fact that people ship her or anything to do with shipping, thus I have abided by her boundaries. Respecting Pearl's boundaries is not mentioning anything about this to her and not invading her spaces.

If you believe that abiding by her boundaries is by not making any of this then I disagree. Because fandom isn't her space. Fandom is a place for the fans. It's in the name, fan-domain. This is a place where fans exist and interact with each other and discuss things related to the creator but it's not for the creator. This isn't a place created for the CCs and the CCs aren't obligated to enter fandom spaces. If they are engaging in fandom spaces it's because they chose to and thus they need to understand that fandom doesn't operate on their rules, because fandom is a shared space and so they don't operate on any rules! Everyone enjoys content differently and it's not up to us to tell other people what's the right and wrong way to enjoy something. Fans shouldn't be expected or forced to make and share things based on what a small handful of people feel comfortable with because in that way it's them invading our personal space.

For example, a person shouldn't be forced to use an ingredient only in the way the manufacturer intended nor should be forced to listen to what a chef thinks is the right way to use it. If they like putting cheetos on a cupcake then they should be allowed to do that, sure some people would find it weird and the creator of cheetos wouldn't have intended it to be used that way but if they enjoy it then they enjoy it and if they post it on their socials saying how much they like it then they should be allowed to do that!

@/codgod's diagram is a good way to visualise this

Pearl does have a Tumblr that she is active on so as a way to prevent Pearl from finding this I don't use #pearlescentmoon for any of the shipping content (polls, propaganda or prizes) which is her main tag that she actively looks through, instead I use alternate side tags which allow people to find stuff related to Pearl while not being seen by her, thus I am not invading her space (I don't just do this with Pearl, if a cc is actively on Tumblr I make sure to only use their side tags). The event is also over which further reduces the chance of her finding it, and if she does find it, she can block this blog.

Blocking this blog will allow Pearl to not have to see any of the content here thus making her space comfortable again, she has every right to block me and shouldn't feel the need to tolerate seeing this blog on her dash. The same applies to you, if you don't like what's on this blog or my response you are more than welcome to block me, you shouldn't force yourself to interact with me if you don't like the space here.

This is also a really good post about this topic

This response isn't me justifying shipping, or me trying to persuade you to agree with me, it's just me showing my personal opinion on this topic. Honestly I expected an ask like this to come at some point and I don't blame you for not understanding why people continue to ship mcyt characters. I actually used to not like mcytshipping too back in the day, but I learned more about the community and realised shipping exists because of love for a CCs content. We see the stories they make and the interactions the characters have with each other and expand upon them. We get curious about what would happen if the characters developed feelings for each other, how would that affect the story, how well do their personalities balance each other, would their relationship be better if they were put in a separate context.

Creating new stories and new dynamics for these characters, and expanding them in ways the original media didn't isn't gross, it's beautiful.

At least that's what I think

The way I can excuse Price for using a family as leverage during an interrogation but I can't forgive Graves for betraying the boys 😭😂 WHY IS IT SO MUCH WORSE TO ME?!

Honestly it's probably cause in the end the family didn't get hurt BUT GRAVES WAS OUT TO GET MY BOYS!!! I COULD NOT FORGIVE THAT

It's because we care about the boys.

It's a betrayal. We feel it more because we're emotionally connected to the boys. It feels more like a slight against us too because they're characters we care about.

Sure, what Price did was questionable, but no one (innocent) died. No one (innocent) was hurt. No one was going to get hurt, and we know that because we (as the player) were in control at that moment. Price was threatening a person who deserved to be threatened, and the player decided who to aim the gun at and whether or not to shoot.

But Graves? There was no control over that. No control, and it was a direct threat to characters we're supposed to care about. (Not to mention Graves literally sent his men out to just slaughter the entire town). It's supposed to feel worse because it is worse.

It's easier to forgive Price because he was doing what had to be done. Even though what he did might not make him a good person, in the end, we forgive him because 1. He's the hero. He's the one we put our hope and our faith and our trust in to save the day. 2. We have that emotional connection to him. He's on our side so we care about him.

It's worse to you because it is worse. That's the simple answer. We know to put our trust in Price no matter what he might do, because we both have the same goal in the end. But Graves? Graves betrayed the characters we put our trust in and we have that shared connection with. Graves betrayed us too.

Skill issue maybe. But kindness certainly didn't help the prosecuted for the rest of the show.

Maybe a balance is needed between me being proactive and merlin being kind, bc merlin sure needed a bit of the former (this is really more of a complaint for the showrunners rather than merlin. I read so many fics of merlin being proactive and helping magic that canon is slap in the face with his passivity and class traitorness)

yeah Merlin’s approach to certain issues definitely show the writers’/showrunners’ hands than his actual character (where he is pretty outspoken in these topics) but there’s also the nuance of keeping his magic secret and yada yada

but also, one of the reasons we like Merlin is because of his goodness and open-mind. there is a reason he is a foil to Morgana, who was proactive in magic users rights, had an identity crisis of her own, and descended into villain-hood. there is a reason why his struggle between his duty as Emrys and Destiny is so compelling and how it slowly become his struggle between Destiny and Arthur

are there moments where i wish Merlin did certain actions differently? 100% yes i do (2x08 for example and his relationship with Morgana) and i know a lot of the time these narrative choices were made in order to keep Merlin in his 5 season struggle of ideologies by the showrunners themselves which just hurt his character in the long run (similar to how they revert Arthur’s character back to his s1 caricature sometimes 🙄) bc if he progressed too “quickly” then it could lead to a different outcome than they wanted at the end of the show

but i digress

Even as a pan, seeing sex/kinks everywhere is tiring and boring tbh. There is just more and more and it's already too much now. Plus, most of the time, in movies, it feels like they put sex stuff to distract the viewers from the fact their scenario is shit.

OK YEAH this is one of the things that pisses me off the most about queer representation in media: when they basically think nothing but sex, or surface-level romance, or both, is enough to count as representation per se. If a queer character exists only to have queer sex, welp, obviously that sinks down my hopes for any aro/ace representation, but beyond that, that makes them hardly a character at all. That's fetishization at best. Not saying there shouldn't be any sex in queer media, but it shouldn't be the only thing.

Nootmare you look very huggable.

*Nightmare stares, looking rather perturbed and confused. He glances at Cal.*

"This is not even a question. Do I still have to answer?"

"Yeah! They don't all have to be questions. You have to respond to any ask, question or not. That's our agreement, remember?"

*Nightmare sighes and rolls our eyelight.*

"Yes, yes, I do. I was just clarifying. Now then . . ."

*He turns his attention back to the ask, arms crossed and socket narrowed.*

"I don't understand your opinion given my apperance, but I would advise against getting any ideas."

Just say you think cp is ok as long as the minors are fictional you fuckin pedophile

Normally I ignore hostile or pre-judgmental asks on the off chances I get them, but I'll make exception for this one because it seems like a good opportunity for some much needed nuance-- also because I get this person's disgust, I really do.

But you, my fella, must understand that this isn't about the morality or even lack thereof behind dark fictional content, at all. You must realize that wanting dark and taboo fictional content (yes including that one you mentioned) not being allowed to exist actually does nothing to improve or protect irl lives, much on the contrary actually. No, I don't think there's any possible moral reason behind fictional cp content (nor do I find it 'ok',) but once again, this isn't about morality.

Please take a moment to read this thread (it words this topic better than me) then think it over. Trust me, it's a better use of your time than annoying ppl online with words you can't even bother standing up for with your name/face.

As sad as I'd be if it turns out Dabi/Touya's dead I want him DEAD so bad. Like he deserves it😭 I don't even know if I mean that as in "he's a horrible person and deserves to die" or "he's been through enough and needs to be put out of his misery" but I want him deceased

LMAOOOO i am 100% with you on that anon!! & for me, it’s both—especially since death is what he wants. like he fully intended to die and take his father and possibly brother with him during that final battle. the man wore white on purpose; it was supposed to be his own funeral. in my opinion, the best end for him would’ve been him and enji dying together—this way, touya gets what he wants (to kill his father) and enji makes amends for all of his transgressions (with his life).

your bio says "block me if you're a proshipper"?

but proshipper literally means you're anti harrassment. The pro stands for "for", like being pro abortion.

It just means you don't harrass others? so you want people who don't care what you like in fiction to block you?

Genuine question, since I noticed a lot of younger people online are saying proshipper thinking it means you like "problematic" ships (this is misinformation spread by terfs/radfems too). You can be a proshipper and not like anything problematic in media at all.

Peace and love, hope you have a good day ❤️

hi there! i put that description on because a couple years ago that term was more synonymous with referring to people that was okay with/liked/supported stuff i wasnt comfortable with (at least in the fandom spaces i was in), and i was getting death threats from said people during a period of time and simply didnt want to interact with them if i could help it.

when i say "please block me" i know it comes off as harsh but i really, really do mean "this isnt personal, im not asking for trouble im just asking to curate our own spaces on the net if we can help it bc im personally not comfortable interacting with the things you support. hope you have a good day tho ;v;". [note when i say "support" i mean ships and such that was personal icks, and not being anti harassment] the but thats quite a bit to put in a tumblr bio ahjbsfa

but at the same time that term has changed a lot so ive been debating removing it too, but idk :") this whole thing has been a messy topic for years so i also dont rly know what to do moving forward. im also completely on anti harassment but i dont wanna put myself in either of the two notorious camps yknow? i have bad associations with both :"")) its a toughie but i hope you understand, thanks for reaching out and asking tho, hope this clears some things and dont hesitate to reach out if you wanna talk about it more (only if you're gonna be nice about it)!

One small issue I have with duo names is that a lot of them are because of extremely specific things that happened, not things that really reminds me of the characters together, and let's be honest here, crazy duo, insane duo... These duos could represent more than half of the people on the island!

But honestly I think my problem is that I have a bad memory and I memorize the name of the duos by association, like guapo duo where Cellbit called Roier guapito, that I can remember, but now the difference between crazy duo, insane duo and chaos duo?? My dumbass could never.

And another thing, not very relevant, it's sad to see that Mike + Slime is called green duo and not green grief, a missed opportunity 😔 (<-<-<-Not a good name, just likes it because the two words start with the same letter)

okay i’m gonna use this ask to clear something up rq! nothing against you anon, i’m honestly not even too sure what you were trying to convey here (in the sense that idk if you’re saying this to agree with me or because you think i’m a fan of them and disagreeing with me), but i’m not a huge fan of duo names!! i agree with all of this!! i think a lot of them are badly chosen and broad and, most importantly, impossible to keep track of.

which is WHY i created the duo names spreadsheet in the first place. i’m aware i can’t stop people from making new ones. so the best thing i can do is alleviate the issue of memorization by creating an easy to navigate tool to organize and chart them all. i don’t know if people are Aware of that or if i’ve been giving the vibes of someone who really fucking loves duo names. hence why i’m clearing it up now just in case ^_^

Their slow dancing scene is going to be the most beautiful, impactful, perfect and iconic like the way Mork holds Day's ways, the way Day squeezes Mork's shoulder the way Mork twirls Day 😭😭😭 this whole trailer is better than gmmtv2024 I'm not sorry for saying this

ALREADY THE SINGLE MOST SCENE MOMENT SEQUENCE OF EVENTS OF ALL TIME LIKE THE WAY THEY'RE BOTH SMILING SO BRIGHTLY THE WAY THEIR HANDS NEVER SEPARATE NOT EVEN FOR A SECOND ALWAYS KEEPING THEM SOMEHOW CONNECTED THE WAY DAY CLOSES HIS EYES AS MORK SPINS HIM AROUND THE WAY MORK FIRMLY HOLDS DAY'S WAIST WITH HIS ARM AROUND IT GOOD GOD ABOVE JESUS CHRIST THE POWER THAT THAT HAS THE INFLUENCE THAT THAT HAS THE IMPLICATION THAT THAT HAS THE SHEER IMPACTICISM AND HIGH ROMANTICISM THAT THAT HAS THIS IS INSANE I FEEL INSANE
