hot take on billford is that the secret third thing is obsession with being seen by someone for the first time in each of their lives

i think the reason i hate childhood best friends to lovers but not when theyre mlm/wlw is because when its a het ship, people expect them to date as children/teens, so most of the movie/show/book is denying romantic feelings, rather than expanding on the once thought to be only platonic feelings in mlm/wlw ships

Imagine when Optimus and Megatron were younger, Megatronus took Orion out to see stars at night.

Like he would have jets on the bottom of his feet and would hold Orion and fly around the sky.

What do you think of those who say sherliam is meaningless, proofless and purely platonic? Those that Says shippers are delusional lol

short answer, i don't

long answer,

i think people are free to interpret the characters' dynamics and relationships however they want. it's totally fine for them to not ship sherliam, but in that same way they should be fine with people shipping sherliam. i don't go around saying people who ship, for example, johnlock are delusional. how is that my business? do whatever you want! ship sherlock and william with whoever you want! i don't care! good for you! 😭

i don't rlly wanna get defensive bc i genuinely don't care about people who don't ship them, but sherliam is still the official pairing. even if their relationship is(...was) officially described as rivalry, they're still a pair and they get paired on stuffs like official illustrations, merchs etc whether you like it or not

well i'm a sherliam shipper myself so i am a bit biased lol. i feel like it's a bit hard to say they're "proofless" when they were intended to be pairs from the start and their relationship progress was integrated into the story itself

for example there are multiple instances--multiple? two instances where they're described as being "destined," which are this jump sq manga dojo post or the volume 17 synopsis (the jump sq post is an interview thing with the authors where miyoshi sensei also explained how she came up with sherliam's character designs etc, it's pretty interesting so i recommend you read it! it's in japanese, so download the pics and use machine translator to read it)

they probably weren't being straightforward about it, but assuming these implied they're soulmates: are they platonic or romantic soulmates? i don't know! how do YOU want to interpret it?

obviously they never said "hey these two are dating!" in the story so in theory sherliam aren't really 'canon,' but this is where us fans come in to make analysis/theories, fanarts, fanfics, etc! that's what makes it fun, the fact that people can come up with different interpretations! if something from the source material can only have one meaning it'd be so boring!!

fandom activities are supposed to be a hobby, something that you do for fun. if it stresses you out or makes you upset because of, say, a ship you think doesn't make sense, maybe take a step back and see where you went wrong. if you have time to call other people delusional because of a ship they like, what about using that time to talk about ships that YOU like instead?

sorry i think i'm getting all over the place 😂 but ultimately what i wanted to say is, you DON'T HAVE to talk to/about people you don't like about topics you don't care. you can ignore them and even pretend they don't exist, it's fine i promise. we're talking about fictional men, it's not that serious ≡_(ゝヽε:)ﾉ

curate your timeline, block/mute people, be pickier with who you interact with, and most of all, don't forget to have fun!

i'm so bad with writing in a structured way but i hope you're satisfied(??) with my answer o(〃’▽’〃)o

I want you to tell ‘em that you love the way that they don’t stick out like sore middle fingers

[Continuation of this]

Fanfic prompt: Vio travels back in time to the moment shadow tried to recruit him to the side of darkness

And joins this time around with the intention to win him over at all costs and with all means necessary so that the other doesn’t have to die again

He will do everything to prevent it this time

The second he joins he immediately starts to aggressively push at shadow with any and all things he can to make him switch sides

Gifts

Compliments

Even straight up flirting (he is desperate enough to do anything by that point)

But shadow with his single overworked braincell is incredibly dense and it flies all over his head except that Vio obviously wants to be friends with him

Vaati at the other hand is creeped out to hell and back as in fully disgusted and disturbed by Vio

Like that is just messed up

He is so uncomfortable by it that he tries to shield shadow from him (because shadow is his and ganondorf's weird magic baby/thrall/demon/ thing and nobody else should be allowed to look at his property like this)

Because what the heck is that supposed to be

(The second Vio found out he got worse on purpose just to piss him off)

And he can’t even kick him out because it is a weak reason for getting rid of a useful player

Shadow finally gets some form of affection in this timeline (good for him bad for Vaati and Vio because they are both fighting about shadow by this point)

Vaati decides against sending Shadow anywhere alone with Vio

Vio tries hard to convince him (as in nearly begging him because he needs to keep the timeline predictable )

It somehow makes him even more uncomfortable with shadow being anywhere near him

Vio then just straight up starts begging him on his knees and everything

After the most uncomfortable hours in his entire life he agreed (but he definitely will be breathing down his neck because that was just unsettling)

When the confrontation happens between Vio and the colors at the fire temple

He doesn’t tell the lie of how he understood darkness or something he just straight up tells them that he went because of shadow

The colors are concerned

The colors are also weirded out by the way Vio acts because from what they remember Link never was a degenerate

So why is Vio so obsessed and unsettling about literally everything (he has decided to troll everyone and also can’t change his role on the whim because Vaati is probably watching him )

It ends up interesting to say the least

Vincent: —lets not get into it. all i want to say is that if you think about it again…let me know.

Cloud:….

Vincent: or don’t. Your choice. Do what you like, but try to get some rest before then.

What are they running from?

[jackass-jones]

I’m not deep enough in the yttd fandom to really know if this is a controversial take to have but. I think soushin is interesting. I don’t think this in a “omg wow they’re soooo in love and I want them to be together” way, not at all lol. But I think to act like it’s impossible to see a romantic/sexual aspect of their relationship is really fucking stupid. I try to refrain from acting like there’s a solid truth to their relationship cuz the game isn’t finished yet so there’s always the likelihood that we’ll get more information later, but the thing that always gets me is when ai shin mentions that hiyori claimed to be an older student at his school but he later learned that wasn’t true. It sounds so eerily like a grooming story and the way we see human shin retreating into himself In reaction to that hits really hard, like he’s embarrassed it ever happened

Then there’s stuff like the detail that hiyori would always take pictures of shin without consent and would hang them up, or the fact that hiyori kept a personal shin ai for himself that he had control over, or the way that maple is supposed to parallel shin. It all just sounds like they had a relationship that blurred the lines a lot in a way that was very uncomfortable for shin. Moments like the shin ai sobbing and Hiyori saying “no don’t be like that show me your cool side shin!” and shin reacting to that, it’s like hiyori is trying to praise shin while hurting him. Seems way too much like a common occurrence

I think also (but maybe im just projecting) that shin is pretty queer coded in a lot of ways (hot springs scene, soft-natured personality that he tries to smother, his relationship with hiyori paralleling a romantic one, etc) and I think this plays into his relationship with hiyori a lot. Because of gender roles and toxic masculinity bullshit, i really doubt shins soft personality was allowed to fly under the radar for most people, so he was isolated a lot. Hiyori probably made him feel special at first with the way he seemed to like this about shin, but it becomes pretty clear that hiyori loves to fawn over shin and treat him like a cute baby and really only loves shins personality cuz he sees it as easy to take advantage of. I think it’s really easy to imagine a scenario where shin is a closeted teenager who finally has someone he feels he can confide in and hiyori blurs the lines between romantic and platonic a lot and shin latches onto this because he wants to feel like he can be loved by another boy and thinks this is his only shot. It’s way too common and all the pieces just fit right into place, you know? And I’m aware of the line where shin says hiyori is like an older brother to him but imo I think these two things can actually perfectly coexist cuz again, theres blurring of lines going on cuz this is an abusive relationship and feelings are being toyed with constantly

Basically all this to say, I very much think it’s likely that there was a romantic and sexual aspect to this relationship going on. I wouldn’t say they were labeling themselves as boyfriends or anything, more like it was a vague mess that hiyori refused to elaborate on. I don’t ship these two cuz I think it’s pretty clear shin wants out of this relationship, but I think inherently being mad someone wants to explore the idea of them having this kinda relationship is really ignorant and is only gonna result in only shallow ass takes about abusive relationships being allowed
