#ii ship neg

[oscconfessions]

ii ship discourse makes me want to kill people. why are we talking about this pedantic bullshit when there's so many more interesting things we could be talking about with this show. it feels like the fandom doesn't even care about the story half the time man it's exhausting

erm......... i need your opinions on saltpep (hasnt touched ii shipping in ever (i mean i know some ships and enjoy seeing them but like i havent made any shipping content))

Ouh... Salt/pep...

Okay so Imma be honest here. 2/10. Wow I don't like a popular pair who could've thought.

The thing with Salt/pep to me is that I don't really like the general treatment towards Pepper when it comes to Salt. I know that the show kinda just made Pepper to bre Salt's best friend with a weird sapphic tension but I have noticed things about their relationship that really do show that meanwhile they can hang out well, Salt is never truly there for Pepper at all.

Pepper has to deal with Salt's obsessive crush on OJ and she can't really even shut up about him at all, and whenever they talk, it feels like Pepper just... agrees with Salt and when Salt doesn't approve something, she starts panicking. But they're surrounded by others so their relationship doesn't fall despite being pretty. Not so mutual on being there emotionally for your friend.

The thing is that the alternate dimension on episode 12 season 2 kind of shows that they're doomed to fall/that Pepper will truly never get her closure. Of course that Pepper loves Salt dearly (to an extent), but it's kind of implied that they ended up having physical fights because Pepper stood up for herself, and yet, Salt still forgave her. Maybe they're codependent and that's why they can't let eachother go, and Pepper finally killing Salt is just. Shocking.

Because she tries to explain herself but is so hurt once she stops talking. Salt did some real damage to her, although Pepper isn't completely innocent, but she suffered the most based on how weak her self confidence is and how quick she was to ask Salt that she also was important to the duo, only to be met with Salt basically telling her "You just... kinda are there and do what I also do".

And that hurted me in a personal level I'd say? All things considered. I just really don't like Salt and I don't like shipping her with anyone (therefore my monogamous Salt hc. also i do ship her with redeemed Trophy though but they are NOT okay), and I don't think that she's emotionally available for Pepper, not even as a friend. I'd really like to see Pepper blossom into her own person too. To be more than Salt's shadow. And seeing Salt growing because of that.

I do think that in other settings (such as swap au's where they take OJ's and Paper's place) they are really nice all things considered so like.

On AU's? 7/10

On canon? Nah.

Just to be clear, I’m not a proshipper but I do enjoy some suitcase ships. However I’ve been unable to enjoy them and actually started to get uncomfortable shipping suitcase with anyone other than balloon because of people not liking it.

I’m fairly certain it’s because people headcanon suitcase as a minor and everyone else has adults, thus why people not liking it. I’m not sure why balloon is the exception though.

And I would say the people who headcanon it aren’t in the wrong, it’s a silly headcanon with no bad intent, but I think some forget other people have different views and suitcase was never said to be a minor or even implied.

I hate these kinds of people who don’t like when someone doesn’t have the same headcanon has them even though they are doing nothing wrong. It really sucks

Upvoting "suitcase was never said to be a minor or even implied". Do people only headcanon her that way because she's kind? To others? Is that why Balloon is the exception to their logic??? The world may never know

romantic toipad is better than romantic tacopad by a large margin

(Some) People in the ii fandom right now: SHIPPING THE CONTESTANTS TOGETHER OR WITH MEPHONE4 IS INCEST THAT'S PROSHIPPING AND IF YOU STILL SHIP ANY CHARACTERS YOU'RE A DISGUSTING AND TERRIBLE PERSON!!!!!!

People in real life: Hey man what's up?

[mumpsetc]

What I Think is So Interesting About the Knifecase Discussion Happening Rn is That People Get Angry When You Say Knife Is a Violent Aggressor Type When the Show Itself Pulled an Obscure S1 Incident That Could've Been Forgotten/Retconned Back Into the Limelight Specifically To Keep That Aspect of Him Present in His Modern Characterization, Even if It's to Show Hes Moved Past That.

Knife Being Like This is Good, Its Thematically Potent. If ii is Going to Go for a Theme of "You Can Do Bad Things and Change But People Aren't Required to Forgive You" Knife is a Decent Smaller Scale Version of That, and I Think His Conflict With Marshmallow Could Be an Effective Parallel to Mephone and the Contestants Whenever That Comes to Fruition

i can’t hold on how uncomfortable tacocse makes me anymore i actually hate seeing it on my dashboard

like. ship what you ship. i don’t care. i have good friends who don’t mind or really like tacocse and i don’t care but i fucking. THEY. AREN’T GOOD FOR EACH OTHER. one of them is literally delusional and the other one has probably never been in a real healthy relationship before???? NEITHER OF THEM HAVE ACTUALLY. they would tear each other apart unconsciously. again no hate to tacocse shippers i’m just. so tired of seeing tacocse on my dashboard just because i follow all of the tags for taco…

they would make each other uncomfortable. they wouldn’t actually understand each other’s feelings in a way that’s healthy or would let the relationship progress. and maybe i’m wrong, maybe i’m only saying this because i’m reflecting onto the ship, you’re allowed to come in and correct me and my information on this

but please be aware that you can’t make me like tacocse. you can analyze in reblogs as much as you want but i just can’t bring myself to like it.

and i don’t owe you any explanation on why i dislike it so much.

inanimate insanity and its lesbian queerbait problem: a rant

(made by a lesbian)

TW: DISCUSSIONS OF LESBOPHOBIA, MYSOGINY, AND TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS

okay, I have been really wanting to get this off my chest for a very long time since I joined the ii fandom and watched s2 and s3.

when watching and analysing everything, something really did not sit right with me, and that is the treatment of sapphic ships in the show. sapphic relationships in the show are treated very differently compared to gay and hetero relationship

a relationship for a hetero couple in the show can usually go like this:

the two characters, male and female meet for the first time -> they start to interact frequently and start to form a "bond" -> halfway through the series, something happens between them, causing their relationship to fall apart -> but a few episodes later, they make up, and all is well -> fanbase really likes ship -> creators make it canon

---

however, a relationship for a sapphic couple in the show goes a little something like this:

the two characters, both female, meet for the first time -> they start to interact frequently and start to form a "bond" -> girl 1 starts to visibly show romantic feelings towards girl 2 -> a few episodes in, girl 2 does something "toxic" or "mean" towards girl 1, and their relationship falls apart and it is like that for the rest of the show -> fanbase deems it as "toxic" -> creators don't even give the ship a second chance

or alternatively:

two characters, both female, start interacting for one or two episodes -> they seem really into one another -> they never have a single interaction ever again after that

---

I could go on for ages about more examples of this, there are so many sapphic relationships in the show that had so much potential

tacomic had so much potential

soapmic had so much potential

cabtube had so much potential

clovercab had so much potential

candlecab had so much potential

but yet, sapphic relationships in the show are either doomed by the narrative or demonised the fuck out of

---

tl;dr: they're have been many sapphic ships in inanimate insanity that had so much potential but they are all doomed by the narrative

Slowly starting to dislike more popular II ships

I don't know what it is since these are ships that I used to like/at least tolerate but now I'm starting to genuinely hate some of them

Idk I want more rarepair content

Any thoughts about SoapMic??

0/10 on a romantic setting.

7/10 on a platonic setting.

It's pretty much one of my discomfort ships, mostly due to how the fandom treats it as the only other alternative to an healthy Mic ship when there are far more interesting dynamics out there, both with masc and fem characters.

Although I can... get? Why people can like them? Because of aesthetic and such? I personally just think that they're really boring as a couple. Even outside of the fanon, Soap is just... a very under-developed character and it's kinda hard for me to see her in a relationship like that with Microphone, but again. I AM a very picky person when it comes to Mic ships and I haven't really seen an wlw ship that I like for Mic (since the fem characters are just very specific too I'd say).

I didn't mind them for a while but afyer bad experiences with shippers on the fandom I kinda don't want to see it at all? Although I think I just still dislike it but not as strongly as before. I don't care much about it.

I do really like their friendship though. I usually headcanon them as having a sort of sister's dynamic, but in any case their friendship is just nice and I think that's what matters.

There are far better ships out there though, but I can get it. Definitely not for me and I'm still bitter.

[osc-confessions]

i dont quite get the appeal of knifan, to be honest? i cant recall any other times that theyve interacted than that one scene where knife closed fan's laptop on his fingers. maybe im just weird, i dunno

[ii-neg-confessions]

all ships involving trophy or nickel suck ass like they'd be straight up abusive or toxic idgaf who it is

[ii-ship-confessions]

i fucking hate knifecase

Did anything in particular happen or have you always disliked Fan? I'm out the loop with ii so I don't know recent information or anything

Might be misinfo but i think fantube is canon now?? Or will be??? (Again might be misinfo but i heard someone say brian confirmed this during the recent bfbxii event)

my hatred for fan is purely theatrical BUTTT i do think he would make a shitty dad and personally not a big fan of the idea of fantube being canon (i’m not a fan of any ship being canon)

What set of my recent posts was watching the new episode and hearing ppl say tt and fan are the greatest parents ever, while paintbrush IS RIGHT THERE (i swear pb is more of a parent to bot than fan has ever been, ik it’s because fan isn’t even on the show anymore but honestly i don’t think you could convince me he would be a good parent if he was there)

Ngl also a little out of the loop, i’ve been mainly ignoring whatever ae has been saying and only get the occasional ii posts on my dashboard (i’m very aware of the criticism ii has been getting tho, i’m glad people are talking about that more because when i was hyperfixating on ii i felt like i couldn’t talk about stuff like this at all without getting spellcasted into the void)
