#i dont take ships very seriously

[parental-unit-of-chaos]

Bruce and Clark or 'Superbat', They act like a married couple with kids from pass marriages. Clark also follows Bruce around like an annoying puppy that doesn't know what a social battery is, and it's funny.

/////////

Clark: - oh yeah and I almost forgot!! *Has been ranting and raving over something that Bruce can't even remember what it was for 7 hours*

Bruce: * thinking: there is so many words coming out of his mouth, but he gives no information that I ask for in meetings.*

I wanna hear your favorite ship from the DCU and why.

I don't mean why as in "they're cute" or "they work well together", I wanna hear bullshit reasoning like "they have opposite color coding" or "they hate eachother"

watched mouthwashing finally. the fact that i saw people be more aggressive towards curly than jimmy is kinda strange. kinda real weird

[shiraoyagi]

random take before i go sleep

anhane and akitouya arguably have more queerplatonic coding than romantic coding in canon

ok that's all

Sansa stans dont compare her or ship her with rapists. you only ship Sanrion to use Sansa as self-insert because you want to fuck Tyrion, you don't actually like Sansa

anon. I'll be honest with you. I'll not be taking this ask seriously because I have no interest in proving to you that I like any fictional character whatsoever but I want to answer because I think it's so funny that through your hate and ignorance you can see right through me. yes I confess all my Tyrion stan act is because I think he's incredibly hot. Do I think he's the main character. Do I think he is the character that best embodies the heart of the series. Do I cry for him as if he were my friend, do I feel his chapters pulling at my heartstrings. Am I fascinated by the relationship between the way he's treated in-universe and the way he's treated by fandom. Do I believe he is the author's vessel to do meta about his own work more than any other character (for more on this also read: adwd) well yes. Yes of course to all of this. But at the end of the day im just..... thinking with my pussy because I'm a simple girl. when you do it, it is boring but when I do it.... It is actually praxis

corentin's attraction to emmrich: simp city. internally on his hands and knees from day one

corentin's attraction to davrin: "you want me so bad it makes you look stupid." he's going to be annoying on purpose AND THEN make davrin work for it

spectragus dont get enough credit for being a sun and moon ship but like. destructive sun and moon ship. sun and moon ship but they're the forces of nature the sun and moon actually are. the sun is harsh and relentless and unpredictable in its evil but also it's kindness, the moon is sharp and cold and cruel, a harsh light that doesn't allow you peace, but can also guide you, a light in the darkness. even on nights with a new moon, with no light in the sky, the moon is always reflecting the sun, and it'll be that way until they come to their end.

Please make sure you don't let me go☆-

Hi so I watched this Vocaloid song...it might be talking about social media in some way, but I'm me so I think about fictional other stuff. Under a self-shipping lens it is very applicable to me. And very bittersweet. So I redrew some scenes with my beloved void!

The video is so fluffy and cute, but the lyrics hit me really hard.

[pesteringchum]

ngl i dont really care about ships anymore but whenever i hear someone say they dislike davejade i physically feel this in my soul

[claredanko]

honestly dont get me started on how ppl have completely misinterpreted and misrepresented disco elysium its such a complex and beautiful game and theres so much to unpack and then u go in the tag and its just kim and harry being gay likeeee ok the subtext between them is just Barely there and. this is so serious to me bc by focusing on the subtext of their relationship u completely miss the broader, more significant narrative threads.... the entire sense of the game is that this is just 2 guys in the mechanism of something so much larger than themselves that they barely understand and the complexity of the world and other people in said world is just as if not more important than whatever harry is doing. its a unique game bc it approaches the world with such care and depth like i havent replayed the game in a year but i can still talk abt how memorable and important annette or billie mejean are... not bc they have significance to the plot but just bc they exist THATS part of why didco elysium is brilliant... not bc harry and kim r the central most important characters and everything is about them. theres also the matter of the world's politics but i wont get into that bc this is long enough as is ill just say that its messaging is deeply resonant and well written

I always get so angry but then I play video games and I'm no longer so angry

my final controversial dick grayson opinion is that everyone who is either for or against the sla/dick ship takes it far too seriously i have no horse in this race so i am not afraid to say that slade wilson aka Deathstroke the Terminator is a goofy-ass character and sla/dick would be hilarious. of course it would never and should never happen but if it did they would be so funny. they're old friends they're bitter enemies they're reluctant allies and of course they are both clinically unwell. they are divorced but have never been married. for a short time in the late 90s their costumes were color coordinated. they veer wildly between legitimately liking and respecting each other and being 10 seconds away from trying to kill each other with the nearest blunt object. their divorce arc has a body count of over 100,000

pre-relationship bullshit haikyuu teams probably had to put up with before various ships managed to get their shit together

daisuga probably was really annoying with like small/petty jealousy, like a girl would hit on one of them and the other would be standing behind their back making faces about it and mocking it and everyone else on the team just has to put up with it. and then theyre all overly sweet to each other to make up for the petty jealousy or some odd version of "winning them back" after the flirting event and the team is rolling their eyes *so hard*

i think asanoya is so annoying bc nobody can convince Asahi that Noya likes him. Like full stop. Eventually someone pulls him aside and is point blank like "Noya said he has a crush on you ask him out" and Asahi is just like: "Haha he was probably joking" and just leaves the scene. Like the absolute refusal to believe it from Asahi combined with Noya's classic teen boy inability to be sincere means that even after theyve both been told they somehow still havent gotten together??? how long is this going to take???

tsukkiyama probably ruins everyone's week the week before they get together bc one of them *saw* a confession letter stuck into the other's bag and absolutely went (emotionally) off the rails for the days leading up to them discovering it was for them.

I am fully of the camp that iwaoi start dating before they label it/make it official so the whole team is screaming like "PLEASE HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT" meanwhile Oikawa is saying "we just went on a few dates and kissed a few times it doesnt mean anything" and Iwa is in the background shouting "yeah I dont wanna be anyone's boyfriend that's lame" and then they wander off to go eat dinner together holding hands and the team is left in frustration because ALL they talk about is how theyre *not* in a relationship.

for bokuaka its mostly just Bokuto pestering every goddamn person he knows for like 4 months asking "do you think Akaashi likes me?" or "do you think he'd say yes if I asked him out?" and then one day making Konoha *snap* when he says "I need to tell you a secret" and the secret is that he has a crush on Akaashi as if nobody had known that

with ushiten I imagine Tendou was probably really obvious with his crush/interest but in like a very casual "not taking myself too seriously" kind of way so he's comfortable openly flirting, and Ushijima, against everyone's expectations, doesnt seem to mind the attention but is still who he is, so the whole team just has to put up with the most INSANE interactions. Like Tendou walks into the locker room and cat calls him and Ushijima just replies with a formal "thank you" and Semi is contemplating slamming his head in a locker. There's like 12 months of this.

okay okay but I think arankita is *very classic* in that Aran compensates for his crush by over-supporting Kita. so like the whole team gets super annoyed bc Aran wont risk disagreeing with him, is always offering to do extra work, is generally just sucking-up really badly and the twins suffer the most for this bc Aran used to just ignore their antics but now he's super annoyingly on them all the time to try and impress Kita

kuroken is a little different. Yaku asks Kuroo every single day if he's asked Kenma out yet. Lev asks Kenma if he has a crush on Kuroo every chance he gets. Fukunaga gives them a wink when they leave practice to walk home together. This is the only pairing in which the team is the irritant pre-relationship and then post-relationship everyone loses interest and moves on.

I'd include kagehina but once again the entire goddamn show is everyone putting up with them flirting so whats the point.

since i'm not gonna do a better explanation than the conversation that was followed up with @markiafc sooooo.

[inserts 61371834194 words explaining why i think post-canon fdb might end up accepting the imperial marriage arrangement which i think can be a compelling idea for his character study (with tragic undertones ofc)] - he will just go into his 'i guess i'll try being a normal guy' era after his idea of jianghu crumbles one time (lxy) after another (llh)

a good marriage isn't (necessarily) about passion and intensity. it's about living with someone you can be cordial with, live a peaceful stable life, to have company. fdb and princess would still have a happy life - they are compatible, and princess is fond of him. fdb can love his wife perfectly fine. he would ace at it. (pun intended)

but then you have dfs, the vestigial representation of his ideal jianghu persona and dreams of the past pulling him back. drawing the impassioned youth out of him who wants to either destroy the Evil or reform the Evil (that he assumed is Evil)

excerpts from mark's replies:

[...] they're a couple of prestige and duty, the ideal alliance between man and woman as marriage dictates. it makes fdb honorable and responsible, he will do right by her. no wife of his will ever suffer. he's learned this from masters. with dfs, he's always going to be lxy's disciple, llh's companion, the daring xiaobao. they're enemies by all accounts and that equalizes them in a different way. challenge are their vows! fdb will never submit to dfs or give an inch in any way. the man brings out anger, pride and endless hard work to keep up. he must prove himself worthy to dfs over and over again for the rest of their lives. and ofc, the specter of grief over lxy/llh are their wedding robes……. a crown prince loves his legitimate crown princess in one way, and loves his disgraced co-conspirator servant-mistress differently. it's safe to say the esteemed & wealthy heir-aristocrat would love his crown princess in one way, and loves his morally ambiguous co-conspirator sworn enemy in a different way too

there will be no issue for me simultaneously making difang and fdb/zhaoling work in post-canon timeline. all i have to do is think about xdq/nianzhi/lwx
