ok i rambled a lot in the tags and there’s a STUPID TAG LIMIT so my thoughts are CONDENSED and LAMEand not smart. but i could be. i could be if i wanted to. also the second half of this is literally me just talking about krepicolor im So sorry i got so off topic and distracted. the first half is good tho and makes sense i think

Why am I chill with most color ships but eh or 😡 and 🙄 or 🫤 on most killer ships

#i think it’s probably due to how most killer ships have him under nightmare #whne was the last time you saw kist or butcherknife or kross or mtt poly outside of nightmare’s reign?#where they’re free from their abuser? And happy? and able to heal?#a lot of the time killer and the others stay stagnant. they can mentally improve over time but they’re always still stuck in that god damn #castle with nightmare controlling every aspect of their lives. even if the relationship itself is healthy #the enviornment isn’t #i only really like killer ships if they get to escape #i can enjoy killer ships where it’s acknowledged that the environment is unhealthy. that a lot of how the relationship works is to cope and #feel a brief moment of control in a way. at least for killer because ain’t nobody else having control over his ass without them dying #he has enough with nightmare thank you #i like exploring how killer functions under nightmare versus not. how relationships would work in that situation #the issue is that this is never acknowledged. nightmare’s abuse is toned down to focus on the ship #or god forbid the ship itself is purely abusive with no redeeming qualities (some versions of kist)#it’s just not a healthy situation for killer. he does not deserve that #you have seen how he can grow and improve and change and be happy with color. in a place where he’s free from his literal trafficker #color never had someone like nightmare abuse and condition and kidnap him. ships involving him don’t seem oppressive or like they’re trying #to brush off what he endures or try to glorify it #a lot of killer ships do #krepicolor save me. i think they’re literally the ideal ship. like literally perfect in every way #epic and color team up to save their love interests from nm and kiss along the way and cross and killer BEEN kissing. then they are allhappy #come on. it’s kross’ silly dynamic (cross is easily reactive and killer loves to figure out curiosities about him and learn buttons to push)#it’s colorkiller. it’s crepic. Need i say more on those two.#it’s epiciller. they are both funny. they both hide shit like it’s their life’s goal. they both put on masks to hide everything about #themselves to fit what they think they should be in the situation. they lose parts of themselves in the facade until they can’t tell who #they really are as easily. epic has played the nonchalant dork for so long that he doesn’t know how to be anything else. it’s not him it’s #to cover up the layers of guilt and trauma.#killer morphs himself to be whatever he thinks his abusers want him to be. he plays the role of their fool for as long as they wish. and he #forgets who he actually is under all that. what *he* wants. who he is. true self expression is something he’s been banned from for so long.#he struggles with the fact he isn’t nightmare’s slave or chara’s vessel anymore. he’s almost forgotten how to be anything else.#i think they’re neat. also i ran out of tags but trust me i have thoughts about epicolor too. krepicolor is forever peak
