for the ship change; I generally want to know the deal about spectra/gus. I’ve seen quite a bit of it

spectragus and shundan are both twink m/m ships that have annoying shippers who largely mischaracterize them in their portrayals. the difference is that while i dislike danshun i absolutely ADORE spectragus.

i love their canon master/servant dynamic, where spectra really could give only two fucks about gus AT MOST while gus is absolutely obsessed with spectra and would kill and die (has died?) for him. gus revering spectra as his savior and subtextually, his religion, is so fucking sexy to me. and spectra hardly gives a fuck about him! i love it! it's all about devotion and putting your lover on a pedestal and making them your religion when you shouldn't be!

i also love how they're very obvious narrative foils of mira and ace. i dislike how a lot of new vestroia turned out (i dislike a lot of new vestroia in general lbr) but i loved spectra and gus being foils to mira and ace. wish new vestroia was written better.

however, i hate the way majority of the shippers ship it as if it's some cute evil boyfriends and removing the power dynamic between them so they're equal and care for each other the same amount. they are not equal and spectra does not care about gus the same way gus does him. it completely strips away the most interesting parts of the ship and twists both gus and spectra to fit whatever narrative they like best. which is fine, have fun, but i've seen some people actually get mad at others for pointing out how unhealthy specgus is in canon so the shippers have annoyed me. please stop being a pussy and just admit that canon specgus is "problematic" and live with that fact, lol.

send me a ship and i'll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

me: teehee yay gus is in mechtanium surge with spectra yippee

my brain, being nice to me for once: hey isnt it cool how gus has been by spectra's side this whole time? through the entirety of new vestroia, and in those 2 years since, he's never left his side. despite how much has changed, they haven't left each other's side, isnt that nice?
