a ship not fitting into my "demolition lovers core" category of my favorite ship dynamics is so embarrassing for them. if one of them died, they would just give up. like, you wouldn't even sell your soul to bring back your lover? commit 1000 (100 if the devil/me is going easy) murders? soooo uncommitted.
#technically 999 or 99#demoliton lovers#ship dynamics#shipping#i said this#the only ship i have as a murder couple and not as demolition lovers core is snowbaz which#i don't know if i've thought about that hard enough tbh.#but the other way around prinxiety and otayuri are demolition lovers and are not murder and that's funnier and truer#they have the Edge and the commitment but no canon violence lol#otayuri don't even have the commitment tbh but like hell they would give up making a deal with the devil#it's the 'ends in tragedy' vibes too#see this is the elite analysis you would get if you sent me and ask about analyzing a ship for demolition lovers AU today!

I love that 911 is finally allowing Buck to explore his sexuality. I was hoping that it would be with Eddie first, but I guess we're starting things off with Tommy.
I don't know how to feel about Tommy tbh. He seems like a nice enough guy & from the small interactions we've seen between them, they've got some decent banter. In the next episode, they're going on their 1st date, so that's going to be interesting to see how Buck navigates it. I'm trying my best to be open minded and give this ship a chance, but a big part of me does not care about it; so i'm hoping this is a quick fling.
The elite end scenario would be that Eddie eventually gets jealous because he's realized his true feelings for Buck and confesses his love to him. Buck ends things with Tommy. Buddie has their 1st kiss and go on to live happily ever after!
I also understand that we're supposed to play along with believing that Bucks feelings for Eddie are platonic & vice versa, but we've BEEN known what's up between them for 7 SEASONS. They need to lean into it already. They've dragged this ship for way too long. This is not even a slow burn anymore...which makes it that much more frustrating. Because in my mind they've been married for several years now. These writers have played with our feelings for far too long!

rating regulus black ships!!
jegulus | 11/10 - i love them so much. when i rejoined the fandom in 2022 and saw how the ship had blown up in the years id been gone i was really confused, but then i read just lovers and was immediately convinced lmao. they are the epitome of sunshine x grumpy and i adore them both
bartylus | 5/10 - theyre not very compelling to me, but theyre not bad by any means. i think they work better as friends but i understand why people ship them. i just prefer other ships personally, but ive read many great fics with them too!
jegulily | 20/10 - im obsessed with them. i love regulus, james, and lily separately, but together they balance each other out. plus it helps that its a combination of my two most favorite monoamorous ships (jegulus and regulily), like whats not to like? theyre definitely a top tier ship
moonwater | 10/10 - they are so cute and so overhated! theres so much potential here, like they could be friends to lovers or enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers, basically any trope you can think of lol. and think of the angst! the drama! i love them dearly
regulily | 1000/10 - yall already know how i feel about these two! they are literal soulmates and i love them to bits. their personalities mesh so well and, this might be a controversial take, but they make more canonical sense than jegulus does imo (not that canon really matters in this fandom lmao). i could wax literal poetry about this ship i love them so much
rosewater | 6/10 - i have other ships i prefer for both of them but theyre still cute and i can see why people ship them. honestly its a similar situation to bartylus, except they intrigue me just the slightest bit more lol
regumary | 4/10 - im sorry i just cant see this ship. i can see their relationship being platonic but not romantic. i also think mary is a lesbian, which doesnt really mean much considering i also love the trans girl regulus headcanon, but most of the time when i see this ship its very cishet and just not my thing. sorry yall!
regdora | 2/10 - i just cant see this ship either. its not bad necessarily, i just see the relationship between regulus and pandora as that of a sibling relationship. no hate to people who ship them, its just not for me lol
rosestarkillerchaser | 6/10 - i understand why people ship them, its combining three popular ships (jegulus, bartylus, and rosekiller), but im sorry i just cannot see james dating barty and evan. im not hating on people who ship them and its not bad by any means (i like them more than most other ships involving evan & barty) i just dont actively ship them. ive read some good fics tho!
rosestarkiller | 5/10 - similar situation to bartylus yet again, its just not compelling to me. i think regulus works better with evan & barty as his friends rather than lovers which you can probably tell given my other ratings lol
blackeclipse | 10/10 - ooooo i love them. all the best aspects of jegulus, moonchaser, and moonwater in one, its elite. james brings the buoyancy that regulus & remus need while regulus & remus help keep him tethered. they work so well together and i love them all dearly
xenoreg | 8/10 - a crackship ive come to enjoy recently! definitely a weird x weirder kind of ship which is the best. oh to be a fly on the wall of the slytherin common room when regulus told barty, evan, and dorcas that he was dating xenophilius lestrange, ravenclaws resident conspiracy theorist (pandora, of course, would have been overjoyed to have someone to trade ideas with)
regulene | 7/10 - they intrigue me tbh, like marlenes brashness and regulus’ coldness contrast in just the right ways. theyre like fire and water and i love that. plus the potential for a quidditch rivalry is phenomenal, especially considering that they could both be the seekers for their respective teams. theyre kinda similar to dorlene imo
regulilylene | 9/10 - im gonna be honest here i think i made this ship up, but i really like their dynamic. marlene and regulus are on the opposite extremes of hot and cold and lilys right there in the middle to keep them grounded, she evens them out

I think post s8 bonnie could work with Elijah tbh. but I feel like human au bonnie/Elijah is also really elite. their babies would look like Zendaya or something ridiculous beautiful lol.
might’ve gave myself an au cause of this 😂 idk if somebody did this already so if you did lmao…. My bad.
Bonlijah could’ve been such a fun and intriguing dynamic. It’s so funny that Elijah recruited Bonnie to help kick his brother’s ass and not only do we not see them plan this at all. Bonnie still has this fiery passion in the mist that while threatening his life? Elijah is tempting Bonnie to not do it because it’ll hurt her. *chefs kiss* as told by TO Elijah likes a woman who can kick ass, and maybe kick his too. Daniel joked once that he’d play Bonnie if he could lmao.
I can see it in a post s8 stance and as humans! Maybe Bonnie and Elijah cross paths while they’re traveling and Bonnie realizes Elijah has no clue who he is. She should ignore the original against her better judgment but Elijah walking around with no memories is super vulnerable. I’d love to see what conversations could be made because Elijah’s actions were the catalyst of Abby getting killed and turned.
It’ll be some issues and toxicity that needs to be ironed out as usual. Which is normal for a TVDU ship, but some people seems to claim that Bonnie deserves better than a toxic romance but never hold their favorite (white woman x evil man) pairing up to that standard. Not to say that Bonnie doesn’t deserve a “normal” relationship it’s just that in a franchise of predatory creatures like vampires a normal was never going to exist.
Also Bonnie spends most of her time single. Upholding standards such as morality clauses just follows narratives the writers put on her. We don’t have to see Bonnie as undesirable just because the writing does.
#dria responds#bonlijah#bonnie bennett#elijah mikaelson#Bonnie x Elijah#Elijah x Bonnie#tvd#the vampire diaries#bcs when people say they dislike a Bonnie ship for whatever reason they never word what their saying w/out sounding like their coming from#and it always comes from someone who has 3-4 posts with Bonnie on their blog that never is about Bonnie lol#a place of condescension lol. it always gives how dare you… versus hey I don’t understand but if you could explain… and yeah

So I was thinking about Feanor
(as you do) and about his mental state post-Darkening and I understood the ship-burning (it's not pure madness).
We have to remember that the characters do not know the plot, or even the whole context and situation. Which I often fail to internalize, and so do many other people.
Feanor's logic goes like this:
my father died, the Silmarils are stolen, allegedly by Morgoth, while I very conveniently was at this party
I'll kill him! But surely the Valar are just waiting for it to take my Silmarils (which they asked for), maybe they provoked the situation... I must protect the Silmarils from the Valar and their minions *Oath*
OK now I need to go after Morgoth *negotiations, fight, ships*
*arrives at Beleriand* Now we'll kill Morgoth (the easy part) and build our own independent kingdom (the long part). But what if while I fight Morgoth, Nolofinwë takes all the good lands? *burns ships* now he won't.
The plan is: Kill Morgoth quickly, establish kingdoms, when/if much later humilated Nolofinwë&co arrive (after they learned to build ships I guess?) the kingdoms are already established
Oops, Balrogs
Wee ok I'm dying but still, if I could gight Morgoth's most elite forces myself and lasted this long, my sons would defeat him without any problem. But what it they are weak and go back to the deceitful Valar instead of establishing their own kingdom and living as the Noldor should? They will get betrayed in Aman, as I have been betrayed. Come on, sons, swear the oath once again to be sure.
With this assumptions it makes more sense. And Feanor's knowledge of Beleriand was very limited, tbh nobody in aman knew how large force Morgoth had in Beleriand. It was supposed to be a quick victory.
The problem wasn't defeating Morgoth and reclaiming the Silmarils (that's why reclaiming them is not even mentioned in the oath), the problem was keeping the Silmarils and the land from the Valar, Fingolfin and others.

xavier + male reader who's a ceramicist?
Xavier Thorpe x ceramicist! reader
(Xavier Thorpe x male reader)
one type of artist + another type of artist = elite ship 👍👍
we all know Xavier is Nevermore's "resident tortured artist", but his gloomy demeanor is very easily changed by the existence of you
safe to say Xavier is very deep and romantic, and as a fellow artist, he feels he connects with you a lot more than the average person or lover
gift-giving is very prevalant in this relationship
you make him a set of paint pots and water jugs, each with a different design
it's little mindings like this that Xavier loves, so obviously he starts using them immediately
he of course, repays the favour and makes artworks for you. from little doodles, to a whole painting. of course you keep them all
you both have a collection of these gifts from eachother at this point
you make him a small raven ornament from clay, and he keeps it clasped in his hand or at the very least, in his pocket no matter where he is
kissing eachother and not caring that his face is covered in paint and your hands are covered in clay
wearing eachothers shirts, which are covered in paint/clay stains
giving eachother lessons on your respective art forms
you paint eachother one day and he laughs at your somewhat failed attempt at capturing his beauty, but he keeps the picture anyway
when you first showed him how to use a potters wheel, your hands over his trying to guide him, the clay basically went everywhere
which was of course, hilarious
after a couple tries tho, he managed a pretty nice piece of pottery, which he was very very proud of - so, of course, you kept it pride of place with the rest of your works
overall, it's a very chaotic and messy pairing. but there's lots of trinkets, paint stains and kisses to make it all worth while :)
hope this is okay anon 👍
(i really like this dynamic tbh may develop this into a fic)

Flattening, Too Many Types, and Spiritomb
So WolfeyVGC released a video a few days ago about how in spite of having no type weaknesses, the few pokemon with this trait are pretty uniformly horrible. Like, bad enough to almost never see competitive play.
One of the points he brought up was that while weaknesses are a big deal, so too are resistances, and generally the way weaknesses get overcome on these weakness-free pokemon is by having resistances offsetting them. Now and then you get an immunity overriding the weakness, and that's great, but there aren't enough immunities to fully remove a type's list of weaknesses.
Spiritomb, on release, didn't have Fairy weakness because that wasn't a type yet, and it was still kind of bad, because it didn't resist any of the most popular types. The same is true of Sableye. With weaknesses and resistances largely ignored, you end up with a question of base stats, and these "weakness-free" pokemon were...kinda weak.
This comes up really heavily in the extremely silly Too Many Types mod for Pokemon Emerald. The true result of having, just, a BOATLOAD of types introduced...was that every pokemon jumped from like 30% odds to be hit with neutral damage up to like 80% (Edit: I recognize that "30% odds" doesn't match with the fact that 60+ percent of the type chart is neutral across all of Pokemon's history. These two "odds" were taking into account the player's actions taken to defend themselves by swapping in grass vs water etc). You couldn't avoid neutral damage because an enemy's "coverage moves" would almost certainly be some dumb-ass type like "Magic" or "UFO" or "Furry" and you wouldn't happen to be immune or resistant. The odds that you'd be vulnerable were also really low, and double-vuln was nigh-impossible, but that didn't matter. The inability to reduce or avoid damage via matchups is just as big a part of gameplay as the ability to one-shot your enemy's grass type with your fire, especially when you're trying to do a battle of attrition, such as any of the Team dungeons, gyms (yes, you can do either of these by going back to a Center after each fight, but nobody WANTS to), or The Elite Four.
Thus, what really mattered was raw stats and the raw power of moves you could get that matched your own type and thus got STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus, for those of you who don't do Pokemon stuff but are reading this anyway). With vanishingly rare exceptions, that was ALL that mattered. In reality it very nearly could have been called the Oops No Types mod instead. I don't want to devalue the work that went into the mod; There were a couple extremely weird types that made for clever gameplay moments, and certainly there were a lot of funny type names, like Gun, Furry, Bean, and Sans (which was reserved for Shedinja with its 1 hp and immunity to most damage), but for most of the game you might as well have had no types at all if you were looking at what your strategic options were and how you played the game.
And this is also interesting when you consider the idea of adding a new type. At one point Wolfey pondered a 19th type and what that would look like, suggesting Sound type (It already has some members like Cricketune and Loudred, much like how Fairy had...Clefairy and most other pink pokemon). One thing I noticed was that the addition of Fairy, in addition to shaking up the meta, increased the amount of neutral moves by about half a percent, from upper 61 percent to low 62. It went down when Steel and Dark type were added, mostly because of how Steel resists bloody well everything. But that was a Steel-specific gimmick and you can expect that the addition of almost any other type will increase the average "odds of neutral move interaction." Probably not to the extent of Gen 1 Normal or Dragon, but still SOME. There's a mathematical upper bounds on the design space, not simply because of the difficulty to learn the arcane type matchup chart (that ship sailed way back in Gen 1, tbh, and then was mostly solved more recently by a tooltip that shows whether your attack will be good, bad, or neutral), but rather because every increase in the total number of possibilities you have to plan against makes it less and less possible that any plan will handle everything, or even handle enough. And I think that's really neat. Like the limit of how large a kaiju can be before its own body will, by the nature of gravity, crush it? The design space of Pokemon only allows for so many pokemon types before the blank space between the type interactions becomes too dominant in the play space.

Thoughts on Dany x Brienne? As a fellow Briennsa who just found out about this ship, I’m kinda in love with it, but you have elite shipping takes especially for Brienne so I was wondering what you think about these 2 (I feel like they’d have a similar dynamic to Brienne/Sansa or Brienne/Arya imo)
tbh i’ve never really thought about that one BUT right off the bat it’s giving show Brienne/Margaery vibes as in like, Dany finds herself very charmed by this awkward large woman and Brienne is very taken aback by someone clearly flirting with her aksks
first thought that comes to mind is this really goofy post i made breaking down female line claimants to the iron throne - brienne would be shireen’s heir like on a technicality lmao BUT i had mentioned that one thing i wish dany would do is look into female line claimants & reach out to them for alliances. i think brienne is a really good candidate on paper for A Targaryen Loyalist (if she wasn’t so busy trying to find the stark girls) - she’s an heiress who is pretty unpopular yet has a permissive father that lets her do whatever, she sided with renly so she clearly cares more about Following The Right Ruler over Following The Law, and neither she nor Selwyn were outwardly supportive of one group or the other during the rebellion (so no "usurper's dogs" beef there). Under slightly different circumstances I think she’d be the perfect sort of mormont/tarly/seaworth esque dyed in the paint type loyalist but for DANY specifically, not the targaryens at large (an important distinction when you’ve got not one but TWO male targaryens about to come into the westeros political scene in a big way to scoop up the targ loyalists from dany).
When it comes to the emotional aspect, I think Brienne loves a good anti hero/villain story 😭 I mean, look at how she eats up Jaime’s breakdown in the baths. Look at the way she is moved by Septon Maribald. Brienne desires, in my view, a confirmation that anyone can make the Right choice and start to turn their life around. She wants to believe in the goodness of people even though she’s very pragmatic about the evil existing (see making Podrick watch for rapers). And I feel like that really appeals to Dany too - like Brienne, she's the sort of person who desperately wants to just cut through the bullshit and Do The Right Thing even if she's not sure what it is.
Now I'm imagining like, what if the Andal Knight following Dany around was Brienne omg. Her very large loyal knight who believes in what she can do, and isn't just arbitrarily propping Dany up because it politically benefits her.
#theres something here i get the appeal#bubbleteaflan#sorry this took so long omg i got my askbox down from like 35 to 6 the last few days and uncovered a lot of asks that were buried lakjdflks#asks

Might I ask for your thoughts on the Reginald? 👉👈
Reginald Copperbottom
How I Feel: I am a big fan of cheesy, over-the-top theater kid villains, so of course I'm a fan of Reginald. I think I need to cook more thoughts for him, tbh, I don't have much for my interpretation of him ^^
Ships: As mentioned on the RHM version of this ask I'm a Copperright fan but I'm also a multishipper and extremely flexible!
Platonic OTP: It do be Copperright again, as mentioned on the RHM ask ^^ I just think Reginald needs a consultant that won't give him a massive headache, and sometimes that's what a right hand man is for
Unpopular Opinion: He's got a lot of love from the fandom, reasonably, but I think other sticks deserve just as much love as he's getting ^^ love for them all! Love to go around! Blasts all of them with appreciation!
Wish This Happened: I don't have strong opinions I just think he should interact with the elites more

Hi! Swanon here 🦢
I loved reading your yapping to my question. I feel like i understand your Moze much better now ! I love that he feels so much yet doesn't know what or why. Im so excited to get him in 3 days.
I also casually think about your dan heng fic that was the prologue to the blade one. And i had another question ! Hopefully, you dont mind. I was wondering if things would have gone Dan Hengs way if only he had confessed in that closet. I remember the protag was like annoyed at the thought of Dan Heng asking someone else to teach him the game, but then was ok with the friends with benefits arrangement.
Like would the protag have accepted, or had to have some time to think about it. Would the protag be more or less willing to move in with him. Also, would the Astral express ever tell the protag about Dan Heng's feelings, or do they respect his privacy that much. Would Kafka get in the way, or would she let things happen, however that goes.
I dont know if it's noticeable, but i love thinking about all the possibilities and timelines. Im also sorry for yapping. Take your time. I 6 read Ratios' fic yet, but im sure it will be a great read again. I just need to get in a Ratio mood, haha.
SWANANON HIII
I'm glad I was somewhat coherent in that longass Moze analysis since I have so many damn thoughts about this man. (I caved and used my pity for feixiao and got both of them; her playstyle is genuinely so fun?? sorry ratio lmao)
Speaking of that Dan Heng fic I was actually reading it today to just deconstruct how I write... crazy.. Honestly it would've absolutely gone his way had he confessed; when I tend to write an MC I usually lean to a somewhat blunt personality (that occasionally comes of as quite crude), so MC is someone who values communication. Alas, Dan Heng is nothing of the sort... alas. Sorrows and prayers. You're right, I did try to hint at MC's jealousy when thinking of Dan Heng pulling someone else into that closet, because both of them were sort of tiptoeing into 'feelings' territory. Dan Heng knew but was in verbose denial; MC just felt irritated about it and likely just blamed it on the drinks lmao.
Anyways with both the Dan Heng and Blade series, their lack of voicing how they feel about something makes them both veryyy entertaining to write for. Like quiet, simmering jealousy? Elite. MC's also written to be quite an intense and adaptable character to complement theirs, which is also why he doesn't mind being fwbs with both. (WENCH!!! VILLAGE WENCH!)
But again, the MCs I write tend to value dialogue more, while also brushing off any advances of characters. Therefore any feelings he had for either would've been pushed down subconsciously since both Dan Heng and Blade are SHIT at having heart to hearts.
Genuinely, in terms of a relationship, whoever confessed first would've had a better chance. Like MC has chemistry with both of them so it would've been quite easy to form a relationship with either, or at least I hope it reads that way. Yes, MC would've moved in with Dan Heng 100% (even in that one blade one he was READY to jump ship lmao).
To answer the Astral Express part, I feel like they wouldn't outright tell reader. Like they'd absolutely make fun of Dan Heng for it (and for his lack of game tbh.. because how is shitcommunication #2 confessing first... bro... one job.. you've got a chest in your mouth instead of WORDS). And Kafka... she's just there for the entertainment tbh; that one section where I included her just terrorising Dan Heng by being all touchy with MC... lmao she's fully using the best friend privileges just to kick this emotionally constipated doofus into action
But honestly, she's rooting for Blade 100%. It's just a consequence of being closer with him naturally (she'll support MC either way tbh); like the poor guy's smiling for once he no longer looks like a wet cat... please date this man... he has not smiled once since starting his engineering degree (joke) (not really) (this will be me next year)
Which is why she's helping him more proactively by essentially dragging the two of you together; like she's still kicking Dan Heng into realising his feelings by dragging you away from him, but that's away from him, unlike with Blade.
speaking of both of them there's actually a little both of them fic idea festering in my mind.... gosh... anyways...
for the alternate timelines, same. Not just because there's a grillion different ways for a scene to play out, but it's so intriguing to think what MC might've done differently. Bro MC getting caught with Blade by Dan Heng would be MAD icel. (...anyways)
ratio mentioned ratio mentioned
For the fic you're referring to there will be some slight aventurine / reader so... but honestly it's more focused on worldbuilding initially rather than romance
anyways slowd1ving yap has concluded I'm currently working on an inbox request and on chapter 4 of lament of ouroboros hell yeah

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!
#necrotic answerings#batcest#sorry sorry to the shippers who are going to have this post caught in their filters#i am specifically not tagging the ships for that reason but sometimes tumblr will put it in the tagged content anyway#so sorry about that one#anyway i'm so serious i have Big feelings about the steph and cass thing.#i will probably never post it because oh the fights it'll start. but i've got feelings.#also my jason and roy feelings are pretty recent won't lie#like i used to be neutral on it. even have it in recent (within past few years recent at least) fanfic i've written#but the straw that broke the camels back was -as usual- wayne family adventures.#a recent episode had roy waxing poetic about how jason “saved” and “believed” in the outlaws as their leader#and i was like nope. i'm done. i can't. unsubscribing from this ship. goodbye.#red hood/arsenal is a guilty pleasure comic i won't lie to you (mostly for the duela dent content)#but i can't do it anymore. i can't witness roy being fucking BUTCHERED like that. i am done i've left the building.#writing this i found i actually don't dislike as many ships as i thought i did. bc i love to be a hater#but rlly most batfam ships i'm agreeable to#it needs the correct context and characterization but I'll be down for the cause if i think it could be fun#only the ones i mentioned are the ones i rlly dislike enough to be grumpy about#also bruce and constantine. i also dislike and am grumpy about.#but i do think that *could* work. y'all just need to read a hellblazer comic#bc you guys (the general you) do not understand constantine stop making him silly magic mcguffin guy. free him.#tumblr ate some of my tags on my last post so I'll stop rambling for fear of being silenced by tumblr gods again.

I'm so glad to see people writing Sebagni!!!! It made me actually start to seriously think about writing my own, thank you for your service, can't wait to read what you posted! It's literally the best ship ever
Go for it!!! I and I’m sure many other Sebagni appreciators would love to read whatever you have in mind! Elite ship, deserves so much more, cannot understand how it’s not more popular tbh.
