#idk hes just so shippable yk

[burningleaf2x9]

oh, the fabulous fics I could write if only it was acceptable in this fandom to write ships that aren't part of the main pairings

[neyafromfrance95]

what's wrong with haladriel tag today? everyone is spreading hate or getting baited by the antis. doom and gloom. only a few posts are of the shippers goofing or discussing the ep in a way that doesn't feel like the show ended haladriel for good.

yeah, idk. i try to not scroll down the tag nowadays. i finished the episode and it was fine to me. i understand everyone's complaints and frustrations as i myself wished for sauron to see galadriel being in captivity at least (and my main issue is galadriel's shortened screentime), but i feel like we might be overreacting a bit and ruining our own shipping experience?

what saddens me the most is that i don't see the fan creations getting appreciated. the shippers would make great gifsets, edits, art - no reblogs. write fics - no comments or kudos. maybe the fandom is still small but i look at the stuff from s1 and it had so much more interaction and encouragement from other shippers.

even the metas from s1 aren't all about "when will celeborn appear and can galadriel be shipped with sauron when she is married to celeborn?" it seems like haladriels didn't give a f about that forced discourse back then and were just wholly enjoying the ship.

as i've said, i think elrond kiss is not the worst thing for haladriels. it might indicate that celeborn won't be introduced (yet), so galadriel won't have to "go back to being his wife". elrond/galadriel won't turn any more romantic than this, at most it will be ambiguous. and they might be testing the waters for how the audiences react to canon divergence. if elrond can be galadriel's jacob, why can't sauron be her edward?

listen, so many of the most iconic ships have never kissed or were never officially a couple. if the dynamic is shippable then why stop shipping just bc a season doesn't go exactly as the fans wanted it to go in their wildest dreams? we still have s3, there still might be the mind-palace communication explored in s3. after all we know the whole show was inspired by the idea that sauron ever so gropes to see galadriel and at some point galadriel closes the door on him but he still allows her to roam his mind freely!

+ this season still was like a continuation of sauron and galadriel mirroring each other, it confirmed that galadriel has feelings for sauron and that sauron is obsessed with her. there is still one ep left where this slow-burn build-up is supposed to climax.

my point is, let's try to be more positive? and being positive isn't necessarily confined to being delulu. it means creating fan content or hyping up fan creations, it means taking what we get in the episodes and dissecting it with passion, engaging with analysis, having fun!

i have been in many other fandoms and i know that a fandom can't be longevous if it's sustained on frustration and negativity and discourse 80% of the time.

for what's it worth, let's let the creators know that we want haladriel, not that we hate the show the same way the lorebros hate it. yk?

1,7,19,27 for omori!!!

1) what otps in your fandom do you just not get?

i just do not get sunflower at all. i’m very sorry but it makes no sense to me. those 2 boys are not ready to date and they are DEFINITELY not going to date each other after basil had the idea to make mari’s death look like a suicide??💀💀💀 that’s just. not happening sorry

other ones are aubrey x any of the guys sorry. the one i hate the most is definitely p/hotobomb though like are you actually seriousssjxjdhfh that’s a gay man and a lesbian AND ALSO. basil? would not be interested in aubrey and aubrey would Not be interested in basil. not to mention everything that happened would make that even more impossible too like i don’t know if aubrey could look past the suicide thing + i don’t think basil could look past aubrey bullying him enough to Date her lol. i used to hate s/unburn more than p/hotobomb but seeing p/hotobomb genuinely makes me uncomfortable. s/unburn just feels dumb to me cause they’re more of friends imo, it’s the same deal w k/elbrey although i’m def more uncomfortable when i see s/unburn just cause i do not like the idea of sunny dating anybody in that friend group. w k/elbrey to me idk they’re just friends so they wouldn’t date yk but if the fanart is cute maybe i’ll rb it

7) is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

…basil. i’m unashamed to admit that. he’s so fucking awful idgaf. it’s lowkey the same way i feel about sun (2/3.5) but 10x worse. basil is genuinely terrible to me he used to be my favorite character but now seeing him just annoys me LOL. “he was 12” when i was 12 i would definitely not have framed a death caused by falling down the stairs as a suicide, but okay. and i wouldn’t have let that ruin my best friend’s life and just not told anyone what happened sorry that’s just so fucked up and for whatever reason everyone thinks that’s a normal tween behavior which it’s not… i don’t hate him for his bpd symptoms i hate him for ruining sunny’s life when he could’ve gotten help from an adult or like. 911. thereeee is a difference and i’m actually sick of being lumped in w ableists that hate cluster b disorders cause that’s literally so far from the truth ?|]£~€>{} you guys will hate aubrey for her bpd but if i don’t like basil because he’s actually lowkey a bad person then i’m evil?? i get maybe he was so scared to get sunny (his fp) in trouble he didn’t call for help but that just doesn’t excuse what he did at all actually 🩷 accountability still exists and you also don’t have to like somebody if they fucked you over, regardless of if they apologized or not. so i don’t like him! also his design is lowkey ugly to me

19) what is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

nobody interacts w the characters w much thought which is so fascinating considering the game is so well written and explores a lot of deep topics with tact lol. yes this is referencing basil likers mostly

27) least shippable character?

Sunny. that boy does not need a relationship i think he needs time to chill and be normal actually. he needs to have friends irl first. things got really bad for him and he was isolated for 4 years like jumping into dating would be very bad actually

[alithetiredartist]

WELLL obviously there wouldn’t be a knives but also i really like knives and she’s a big part of scott’s character development. Hunter wouldn’t do that tho. So no Knives 😔 I could see him being in a toxic relationship tho.

Willow being Ramona in an au is very funny to me because ofc she’d still have her insecurities, shes Willow. But also there are seven people fighting over her.

I wanna say Gus would be a nicer version of Wallace because I always imagine Hunter and Gus as roommates but Gus just doesn’t have the Wallace✨ yk? Maybe Matt.

Vee would be Stacey and Amity would be Julie.

Now for the exes (not in order) The twins are the Blight twins, Roxie is Luz (bi-furious‼️), Skara as Todd, I don’t realllyyyy see anyone as Lucas but maybe Bria (?), and then Boscha as Gideon is very funny to me. Nobody’s a Matthew either. I think either of the Blight twins would make a good Matthew but it’s funnier to me if they’re the actual twins.

Sex Bob-Om would be Luz (?) as Kim, I think Viney could be Stephen? idk nobody is a Stephen to me :( same w young neil. Actually maybe King. Then tho it’d be more that it’s at Luzs place and King is herrrr roommate. I have mixed feelings about that. but also Luz just isn’t Kim to be and I know aus are just putting characters in situations but i wanna do it right 💥. Maybe if Matt was Wallace then Gus could be Stephen. That’s a ship. Wallace/Stephen. Do people ship that? But I’d want there to be a young neil I think. Maybe someone from the human appreciation society could be his young neil. Also Gus has a lot more self confidence.

Envy to me is whoever is the most shippable with Skara while also being ok to date Hunter. I know Viney/Skara is a big thing rn but Viney is not Envy Adams. Maybe that guy she went to grom with. I think that’d be good. Since he was only in a few episodes and most of his screen time was reactions/jokes I can give him whatever personality I want.

To be honest, I could see Amity being Envy but then Willow would be Scott and Hunter would be Ramona and that wouldn’t work. For me. It probably would but i like this version more :]

Anyway the plot would also be very different (for obvious reasons) Hunter isn’t as “I just want things to be easy” as Scott but I could see a world where he becomes that. Maybe after a long time after working for his uncle he just wants to settle down and be easy. That being said, it wouldn’t be applied as much to romance. I like the idea of him being in a toxic relationship and then cheating on whoever it is with Willow for like a day but he wouldn’t date a high schooler. I don’t really know who he’d be in the toxic relationship with, though. In my head sometimes I like making Hunter and Willow break up and make him be in a slightly toxic relationship with Edric but aughhhh. I’m already making them both date Luz at one point plus the Skara and boy she went to from with. It would just be too much. Maybe Jerbo lmao.

Even tho I did redraws from the anime, I think their plot would definitely be closer to the movie or comics (closer is a strong word, it’d still be very different). Hunter is too grateful of a person to do what Scott did in the anime and he would put more effort into making things right with Willow instead of going back in time and stopping himself from fighting her exes.

Hiiyyyyaaa!!

I'm here to pick your brain on the salty ask list. 9, 11, 13, 20, 22 and 27.

I am so so so sorry it took me so long to answer this lmao, but I am here and I am salty af so lets dive in

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

Let's see Damon, Hayley Camille, Stefan, Davina, Kol [only TO or like post-Davina Kol] uhh let's see HOPE, OHMYGOD ELENA, how did I miss that, ok this list is way too long mostly just everybody except Tvd!Klaus, pre-5x11!Caroline, Bonnie in literally ALL seasons I loved her and wanted to protect her but hated the writers each season, ENZO I LOVE, Rebekah but depends, and KATERINA PETROVA IS MY BITCH AND OHMYGOD SILAS CAN GET IT and now I realize this was NOT the point of the question SO yeah, the characters uptop are the ones I thoroughly dislike, and as to why let's see;

Damon can die bc he's literally everything wrong and dirty and pervy in this world concentrated into one loathsome fucking disgusting cockroach fucknugget being and I hope someone skins his cock thanks. Hayley and Camille and Davina bc they are literally the most GRATING characters ever written in the tvdverse and thats saying a LOT bc there are so many subpar annoying characters but these three take the crown on that, Stefan bc he, in the lovely fucking DOPE @kirythestitchwitch's words, is the human form of dry wall paste, and look ma'am me and my libido are just not here for it, and also bc steroline makes me wanna scream bloody murder and then commit it, so yk I HATE HIM :)

and Kol bc god fucking damn, I hate Kol's characterization in TO with a passion so strong I could probably switch places with Atlas and hold up the sky with the sheer *force* of my hate, mostly bc he was this wildcard who nobody could pin down into ANY box and he's just CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY and like he's perfect OK LIKE HE'S PSYCHOTIC AND FUNNY AND EVIL AND PSYCHOTIC AND FUNNY AND JUST CRAZY and then they made him into a Disney Prince and I'm just like fuck you @ the writers for fucking up my boner, so yeah :))))))

Hope simply bc the bitch exists like I have not examined her character close enough to form an actual opinion and I dont want to either, but I hate her bc she exists.

I ship Elena w non-existence thanks 🌼🌈💖🤝🏾 [ and I realize this is not a reason but :)) whatcha gonna do anon force me to say one??? cuz lemme tell you there are plentyyy but I just got lazy by the time I got to the end of the list lmao]

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I actually don't think I have that sort of character in my non-hit list.......hmm weird, I seem to hate dislike all popularly disliked characters, although I do LOVE LOVE LOVE Silas, but like I havent seen that many *opinions* on him to know if he's a popular or an unpopular character.

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

Caroline is actually very very hypocritical herself, but I actually like that bc it grounds me to her as a character bc she also has her flaws and a lot of them are pretty upfront, and she faces the consequences of these flaws quite often so like even when she has these flaws, it actually just endears her to me, bc it makes her so *real* in my eyes yk

20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?

Josh and Aiden?? Bonnie and Enzo I think?? idk I dont actually care about pure ships lmao like sure theyre cute and all but I cant get invested in one yk, nothing much to invest in when it's already all perfect and *pure*

22.Popular character you hate?

Hmmm......this is not *hate* at all but I just don't? see the appeal of Kai, like I just don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

27. Least shippable character?

Damon, TO!Klaus, Stefan, Elena too? and if you mean least shippable OTP literally every ship other than Klaroline and Kennnettzo is unshippable to me bc if it were, best believe I'd be shipping it.

this is the ask game

[aerltarg]

2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 26, 27 from ask game

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

oh, it's actually hard to answer bc pretty often my otps can work as brotps for me as well. it also means that when i can't ship some characters they don't work for me as friends either. not to mention that in asoiaf i'm open to many ships, and if i'm not very passionate about some it's not a sign i can't see them in romantic light.

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

may i say any sansa ship? 😭 as well as sansa herself lmao. idk generally i can't ship characters i don't like because i'm just not interested. and it's not to say i don't like book!sansa (show!sansa is another case 💀), i just don't find her arc as intriguing and epic as arcs of some other characters. however, it's absolutely her obnoxious fandom's fault that i don't want to touch anything about her now, pairings including. sansaery? pass. sansan? i used to have a soft spot for them in my heart but now? nah. sansa x anyone? pls have mercy, she's already a fandom bicycle.

and jonsa ofc. i would never mind some crack ship as i do this one if not for their obnoxious stans that did way too much to list there right now. but this burning desire to persuade every rock on the street that your crack ship is canon will never stop being ridiculous lmao

also braime. tbh i used to low-key like them but some of their stans weirded my away lol. i get that not all of them are like that but still. it's generally my great pain when i see braime/brienne/jaime stans who are also dany/targ antis. every time i see them i cackle and run away as fast as i can crying from disappointment lmao. it's really a pity because i'm either very neutral or like in my own way all three of them.

6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

jonrya it is! i never hated them, you know, but they never were more than siblings and brotp to me. however, later i encountered the deluded crack ship fandom that shall not be named and understood that if there is any possible romance for jon with any of his sisters-cousins we all know which one it will be lmao. also their stans are very sweet and i really like many of their takes on arya and jon! i generally love relationships of jon and arya very much so it wasn't that difficult in practice to see them in a quite different light.

7. Is there anything you used to like but can't stand now?

meta culture lmao. reading different analysis and interpretations of the text used to be very interesting to me (and still is tbh but in other fandoms) though asoiaf is a different case. imo many people aren't honest in their so called theories and analyses. i get that all of us are biased but some "meta writers'" denial of their own biases influence fandom in a bad way. it looks like too many people run to them to get answers to their questions about any minor detail as if they were grrm himself. yk instead of using their own reading comprehension lmao. you see how this meta culture ruined fandom just looking at the most delusional stans and shippers who spread their agenda by writing endless text posts full of nonsense and bullshit but styled as oh so intellectual and thoughtful analysis. it's insane how many people actually buy it and don't check canon accuracy of such claims themselves. it got to the ridiculous point when random people try to argue with you with some far-fetched embarrassing "theories" as if they were canon facts or quotes straight up from a fanfic because they read somewhere some other confused soul's post and got from a context that this quote is canon (despite the fact that it wasn't written in grrm's style at all but some people can't use their brains even if their lives depended on it it seems).

anyway it's become too long and rambly already so tldr. because of such "neutral unbiased" analyses i got the habit of fact checking almost everything i see in such posts. there's only a small amount of meta writers from targ/dany/jon/arya stans that i trust because i know by practice and following them for some time that they don't pull anything out of nowhere, back up everything they say with canon quotes, don't decontextualize anything and (that is the most important thing to me) are reasonable and open to discussion unlike so many bnfs nowadays.

8. Have you received anon hate? What about?

ah, not in this fandom yet, god bless! i think i'm not loud enough for the needed amount of time to deserve it lol. but since i'm not going anywhere soon maybe one day i will 😂

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

robert baratheon and tywin lannister, obviously. tbh it's pretty hard for me to hate any characters because you know. they're fictional lmao. just lines on paper, they can't hurt you. and even such dudes as tywin or robert don't get real distaste from me if they're written well enough. my problem with them lies not only in their canon crimes and shitty consequences of those but in fandom's (or at least some parts of it) unwillingness to acknowledge that they're canonically written as shitty, not as stan/pity/worship material. tywin isn't as clever as some think and robert is a coward outside of battlefield, not to mention some absolutely disgusting denial of his nature from targ antis only because the man happened to be the most vocal targ hater in-universe so these folks feel like he is their main book representative and whitewash him completely lmao

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

uugh idk even. i'm either low-key interested (or used to be at least so i can stay pretty neutral for the sake of nostalgia lol) or too indifferent to really care.

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn't? Why?

all my faves have their own crowd of haters i'm afraid 😭 but let me say rhaegar. even among some dany/targ stans my man is so misunderstood lmao. it's not even his fault i dare say it's fanon about his half-imagined crimes that somehow got widespread to the unbelievable degree. and when i say they're half-imagined i'm being very generous actually. ofc he isn't perfect, no one in asoiaf is. and yes, he's a pre-series dead minor character but almost all little information about him is actually positive, not to mention the narrative itself that doesn't paint him as a villain or just a shitty dude. on the contrary, he's an idealized to some degree dead prince who could've been a good king (like some other historical targaryens, jacaerys, baelor breakspear, aemon son of jaehaerys, etc.), a mysterious yet tragic figure. i have much to say about why it's so popular to shit on him in fandom but yeah. his haters should send their complaints to grrm instead, no one forced the man to write him like that lol. and i mean that no one has to like him ofc. but it's misinterpretation of the text to claim he was intentionally written as a villain or smth by grrm.

12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn't? Why?

i don't know if it counts as unpopular but i would say tyrion's arc as a whole because i enjoy his character and like in my own way. i can get why some people don't like him but this man will always have his own place in my heart i must admit.

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

is this unpopular tho?.. ok but renly wouldn't make a terrible king. i dare say he would be better than both robert and stannis. yes, he wasn't shown as perfect and i don't claim this. he wouldn't be the best or the most brilliant or the most just or noble. yet still better than his brothers. his flaws weren't anything other high lords didn't have, his mistakes weren't anything other lords and kings didn't do. in many ways he would make a better job than robert or stannis, too bad he died so early, even though i get why it was important for the narrative.

26. Most shippable character?

well generally for me it's the ones i love the most lol. jonerys/snowstorm is my never dying otp but i admit my sins, sometimes i just see dany with other characters (often from other fandoms pls don't @ me). however, since dany is THE fave of mine it means i would rather twist the other guy or girl to fit into the good match for her than twist her for another character in my new born crack ship lol. and i never stay for too long with the ships with which i feel they don't really fit and don't do justice for each other lol. maybe that's the reason i'm not much of a rare shipper / crack shipper afshdjdb

27. Least shippable character?

everyone i don't like? 😭 as i've said sansa for the reasons above lol. you can insert many others in her place lmao
