#i'm a filthy shipper

[embrose]

Okay, this is the most random thought ever. But I have to put this somewhere because it won’t leave me alone.

I watched Paripi Koumei, or Ya Boy Kongming recently. It was okay, had some fun moments and the main selling point was obviously the premise. The music was better than I expected. I enjoyed it, solid 7.5/10.

And I ship the hell out of Kongming and that club owner Kobayashi who’s a three kingdoms nerd.

It’s just, the way they play chess, and scheme together, and chat, and generally are friends and bond. I kinda imagined them as this background couple who just befriend each other and get together quietly and naturally ‘cos they just click, and support the main girl as husbands, it’s nice XD

I have to speak my truth

Excitement!! Gurathin has been casted and he's hot!

[fastfists]

Figured, I'd throw my taste into the mix with this...I don't really have a ship I dislike BUT there are ships I just refuse to ship for reasons. I shouldn't have to explain why that is. Also, like can be romantic or platonic (or silly); since I like think platonic ships deserve some love too. Though most lean to romantic than platonic for me. Most of my OTPs are very obvious XD

[notknickers]

Not to start discourse, but... The weirdest cognitive dissonance I get from fandom blogs with "proship dni"... Especially when they interact with me first in the context of fandom.

Saw a headcanon saying Gepard is Swedish, and while I have no real opinions on the matter, my Hetalia rotted brain was reminded of the song Drømmer Jeg that plagued every SweDen shipper and now I've been listening to that bop on repeat for the better part of an hour

So thanks I guess?

Why are you endlessly reblogging Squall/Rinoa?

Because it's there, that's why.

Omg this is amazing

For the theme: pirates

Now, Scott could tell you a lot of things and it'd be your own choice to believe it or not, but He is not convincing anyone that he doesnt find Martyn's crewmate attractive.

Impulse, one of Martyn's closer and trusted crew members, 6'5, dark hair, with broad shoulders and pecs, big arms hes only ever dreamed of being held by.

He's only ever seen the man in passing, especially when him and Martyn get into their drunken scuffles during opportune meet ups at the tavern, he cant help it! It was fun fighting with the blonde! So it was only a matter of time before he, well stumbled drunkenly into the man's big strong arms.

And No He did not drunkenly flirt, hum contentedly and burrowed his face in the man's Massive pecs, with him, no matter what Cleo, Pearl, El, Owen or even Martyn tells you.

Impulse has always been physically affectionate when Scott's seen him. Sitting so close to his crewmates that their legs touch, throwing his heart on Martyn's shoulders or holding a forearm in a futile attempt to prevent a fight.

And every time - every single damn time - Scott has wished it was him. Scott's wished he was the one who could feel the roughness of Impulse's skin, the warmth of his body. It's something Scott would never admit openly. He has a reputation to uphold, and he can't see Martyn be happy about Scott fraternising with his crew.

Drunk Scott obviously had different ideas.

Scott wakes up with a hangover. Yet, he didn't drink enough, because he can still remember exactly what he did with Impulse. Throwing himself at Impulse like- like some drunken maiden. Even worse, he can remember how it feels. And worse still, he wants to feel it again.

He finds himself in an unfamiliar bed, eventually discerning this must be the tavern. His questions to why he's here are answered by a note on his bedside.

You were pretty drunk last night, so I got you this room and made sure you got to bed safely. You should be able to find everything in the chest by your bed.

- Impulse (or 'Mr. Muscles')

Scott could simply die on the spot. It's not helped by a second note with familiar handwriting.

Impulse loves chocolate. If you give him cocoa beans, he can make it. Go get him, heron.

- Marty

Scott is never getting drunk again. After today. He needs to drink after this.

Shipping should just be fun and we should be congratulating each other when canon gives us shipbait im being so serious. Like yeah sure I'm a "filthy" akianer but that doesn't mean I suddenly hate anhane. I'm cheering for them actually. Did you see the fugcking yuri card. Jesus christ. I don't like emunene very much but God damn is that some good yuri. Wow emu you are flirting so hard. they're such fucking lesbians. Just kiss already. Oh I prefer nenekasa? So what. Emunene shippers go get your meal. Clapping for you

Show the entire video! After she lightly picks Sam, she does the sane with Meril and John. She obviously drinking and happy to see her friends. Or according to you married to all three of them in an secret marriage.

Firstly please learn how to spell, especially if you're a disgruntled twat anonymously polluting my inbox.

Secondly, the entire video was infact posted and I have reblogged it. The video is doing the rounds on the shipper blogs. No one is hiding anything. Everyone is free to interpret it as they choose to. Now I know this is a second punch in the guts for you. First big punch was seeing Sam at the funeral. May I suggest diaphragmic breathing. It helps regulate a shot to shit nervous system such as yours. I will also suggest that you stop being a glutton for punishment and face the music. Sam and Cait are more than friends babe.

Now for the record, I do see Cait hugging John Bell after she kisses Sam, this happened after John Bell interrupted their intimate moment. So what? It doesn't detract from the fact that Caitriona initiated affection with Sam, (who according to your filthy lot, loathes Sam) and then put her arms around Sam and initiated a kiss 😘. She did that by choice, she went to him and clung her arms around his neck like couples do. Now I'm very sorry if you are unaware that this is classic couple behaviour and if you've never had the pleasure to experience this in your sad little life. It would actually explain a lot.

Thirdly, there was no Maril hug (not Meril). I don't know what pipe you're smoking love but it's very obvious that you're in a panic and a bit of a tailspin because deep down you know the reality of the situation. I can feel some empathy for you.

In the meantime, sit on this, it may help snap you out of your brainwashed fog 🖕🖕

Right we've all seen jokes about the Red Crown being totally sick of Narilamb. And it's great and all, BUT! I think we're overlooking a hilarious option; Filthy Shipper crown. "Wingman" crown. Fanfic writer crown. "OMG just fuck already" crown. Crown that sabotages the Lamb's other relationships and encourages the Lamb to rebel against Narinder but spare him afterwards so they're both alive long enough to make the Crown's OTP canon just through a combination of "if you live forever you're gonna do everything eventually" and process of elimination. "You lovebirds just pretend I'm not here, I don't mind" crown. Crown that puts them through a "knock knock knockin on Hooty's Door" style event. Do you see my vision.

I always see people who have never been antis, talking about/questioning how some antis even ARE antis when you look at their taste in media - ie the ever famous joke of "Hannigram is #problematique" "but it's a show where he eats people" or whatever.

I thought I'd weigh in as someone who could, hypothetically, be called an ex-anti (which, thankfully, nothing ever really came out of it - it was just very 2014 keyboardwarrior-esque behavior of me being a chronically online young adult who would share posts in a group chat making fun of certain shippers, or reblog posts about how 50shades is The Most Problematic Media Ever to exist -- basically I was an anti with anti-lines of thoughts, but i never, like, a ran a Shipping Discourse Blog or whatever)

For me, personally, it was a few different things. I can now see how it's incredibly hypocritical that teenaged me shipped Light/L, while still thinking that Dramione was Bad And Abusive. It ultimately boiled down to a) being pretentious, and b) just not understanding media or what proshippers REALLY believed, with a side of c) not realizing that nuance exists. like i was pretty late to join tumblr, I think I immigrated here during PEAK "yourfaveisproblematic" era which definitely did have an impact on my opinions and my tastes.

to elaborate, a.) being pretentious. i mean this one just kinda goes without saying. "I engage in media in a way more intellectual way than you do, don't you know that? You're a filthy and disgusting person who writes Snape/Hermione because you're an actually disgusting pedophile IRL who would probably date your own student that you're abusing if you could. Meanwhile, I'm a very smart, good, and pure person. When I read Uncle Vernon/Harry, I'm doing it in a G-d honoring whump way that clearly condemns abuse, incest, and rape. Unlike YOU who only writes harmful stuff as a way to get people off :/"

(as an aside, i think this line of thinking will ALWAYS be present in fandom and popculture in some way, sadly. ie the recent trend of people hating on booktok bc the books are 'trashy' and how these porn addicts should read real classic literature instead.)

as for b.), not understanding media - i cannot emphasize enough that i was GENUINELY stupid and disconnected enough to think that proshippers REALLY WERE pro-All Of The Degenerate Dead Doves That They Wrote.

why did i feel this way? why did i understand that Lolita clearly isnt pro-pedophilia, but for some reason i thought that someone shipping weecest was? well, first of all, i think that fanfiction is (generally) seen as Less Serious than classic literature, and fandom is a fun place, so i guess i somehow thought that every fanfic/fanartist who wrote Problematic Things, especially Problematic Things that they portrayed as Sexy, really DID enjoy the thought of that Actually Happening To Real People.

and i think THIS is the bulk of why antis ARE antis. i'm not calling them all stupid - i do think BEING an anti is stupid, but at the same time, there are people who are truly smart and good-intended people who just have some really off color opinions about, like, homestuck ships or whatever. Lawlight is okay because notebooks that kill people don't exist so it's IMPOSSIBLE for the Harmful Aspects of Light/L to be romanticized! but schoolyard prejudiced bullies DO exist and are a REAL problem so Drarry is BAD (*truly completely unaware of the fact that there's 'realistic' aspects of the Light/L dynamic and 'unrealistic' aspects of Drarry - such as, for example, Hogwarts arguably being even MORE of a fantasy setting than DN is.*) I know that media literacy is the hot buzzword of the year to throw around in 2024, but, like, i really did not have media literacy.

as for c.), not realizing nuance exists - ok "nuance" might not be the best word here, but i dont know how else to describe it. like, each time ive typed the word "problematic" out in this ask, i've done so in a very tongue in cheek/ironic/retroactive way, but, like, those posts about how Everything Is Problematic, Including Your Fave ARE true. and i didn't like the fact that my favorite media or favorite person might've Made A Mistake! i need to Talk About Its Issues Because I'm So Betrayed That My Dear Sweet Comfort Media Would Do This To Me. I Need To Prove I Clearly Condemn It.

like, i legit morally could not justify reblogging a twilight post without adding in the tags '#this is my guilty pleasure it sucks that the books were so racist though' or whatever. Most people were lucky enough to avoid that line of thinking, but there was an actual group of people who felt a genuine need to virtue signal all the time, partly bc, hey, they WERE passionate about talking abt #issues in media, but also bc of a subconscious fear of If You Reblog A Singular Piece Of Hetalia Fanart, You're Literally A Nazi And Will Get A Callout Post Written About You.

and during all of this i was at the tail end of my high school experience (yes i know im younger than most of your audience, ha). i was going through A Lot emotionally, going through a lot of life changes, and lived in a very . . . interesting household/place where i couldn't do ACTUAL good in the world that i was passionate about. so to make up for the fact that i was genuinely in no place to do legit activism, clearly i had to save the gay community by arguing about johnlock queerbaiting or whatever.

^ and honestly i do think that is the position of most antis. theyre isolated and cant seem to do Enough in the Real Scary World so they have to resort to talking about how bad of a person someone is for "shipping abuse", bc theyre not in a situation where they could, for example, ACTUALLY fight the good fight to end abuse or raise awareness for it.

There was way more to it and way more that I could say, if I wanted to, but this post is long enough as it is and probably doesn't make much sense.

I feel bad for antis, honestly, or at least the ones who are antis in the way I used to be.

--

Oh yes, passionate young fools who think they can at least fix the internet if not their lives make up most of the cannon fodder. Some of the ringleaders are just mini dictators and wannabe cult leaders, but most anti-leaning types are just traumatized or clueless, even a lot of the ones who do serious damage and don't just mock shit in private with their friends.
