i mentioned this on a post before, but i really dont think people understand zoro/luffy/zoros relationship to the other strawhats in general. zoro is imo the most mischaracterized out of all the east blue members and because of the mischaracterization issues with zoro/sanji it only gets worse? people dont understand that he wants/craves validation specifically from his people, and he loves them even if he can't say that aloud or articulate it as well as sanji could, he loves them very obviously. (theres several examples of how zoro will try to look cool for nami and luffy the most. the way people misinterpret zoro and nami is actually very similar to how people misinterpret zoro and sanji, but i digress)
zoro likes all of his people. loves them. is their friend first and foremost. what people misunderstand about him is assuming a romantic context would override/diminish the feelings of devotion he has already, on a baseline, for his partners.
#modposts#zoro and nami dont get along is one of the worst takes ever. have you ever had friends?????#meta#op#one piece#roronoa zoro#i feel the need to emphasize zoro and sanji as people who are similarly#fundamentally people who are friends and love eachother#im talking about this in a shipping context but#im also talking about it in a “these people are friends” context#i make jokes and other people have made jokes to the extent of “zoros biggest misinterpretation is that hes a top”#and what people mean by that is that he wants to please other people. all the time. he just doesnt know how to do that#and is kind of socially awkward.#and by other people i mean his fucking partners!!! his goddamn girlfriend and boyfriends!!! he wants to please THEM. spefifically#he doesnt care about anybody else.#east blue polycule

Thinking about Uzugiyuu again... I feel like the main appeal about them is opposites attract, but I think there's a bit more to it. The fanbook says that Giyuu feels envious about Tengen's sense of freedom, and it makes me think that in a way, Giyuu looks up to him too. Perhaps a small part of Giyuu wants to be free like Tengen. I love the idea of Giyuu getting to explore the "inner flashiness" in himself through Tengen, just him becoming more comfortable in expressing to make up for all the years that he wasn't able to. On Tengen's side, I like to imagine him going from "This guy's so gloomy!" to "Wait he's actually fun" and "he's flashy in his own way" I just love the idea of these two people finding the unlikeliest companionship through each other.
#my post#demon slayer#uzugiyuu#meta#kny#kimetsu no yaiba#giyuu tomioka#tengen uzui#im glad uzugiyuu id a nornalized pairing now#I can finally post about them without having to explain background context as to why I ship them#like I can just talk about them knowing that there will be people who accept it

Do you think any of the crew members (outside of maybe Daisuke) actually believed that Curly intentionally crashed the ship? Obviously, that's the story that they're told, and the "fact of the matter," but do you think Anya or Swansea ever for a moment really bought it? They've both worked with Curly for at least one other haul prior to that one, I don't think they would have ever gotten a grasp for a motivation and Jimmy's accusations sound like they're pulled straight out of his ass anyways.
I think they could have believed it at first, I mean the initial shock of the accident, Curly being in the cockpit, Jimmy's likely embellished story...
Though I think they realized one by one. Anya first because she knew the type of person Curly was and that he wouldn't take it out on them all (he'd just shoot himself) and knowing the type of person Jimmy is and that he actively would. Swansea likely started believing things weren't adding up towards the end and with all the evidence stacking against Jimmy, he realized either during his speech or right before it. Daisuke is the only one who'd have no real reason to not believe Jimmy as he died before having that doubt sowed into him.
Still, I don't think they let Curly know that. A big reason I think only Anya and Jimmy deal with Curly is because she had fond sentiments for him and Jimmy is obsessive. Swansea likely doesn't want to deal with someone he believes put them in this situation and Daisuke listens to him/wouldn't be much help. I think a big factor in Anya's case is that Curly went to confront Jimmy before the crash and knows it wasn't just him with something on the line. She could've believed something more sinister occurred but again, she has no proof.
It's still a little tragic after all that he has to live with the fact that they all believe he put them in that awful position. That they all could've thought so little...
#one of the things in fanart that irks me is the idea that Anya wouldn't know Curly didn't crash the ship but still treats it as if she does#and knows Jimmy did it concretely and like talks to Curly about it like if ur gonna use the canon she doesn't know then why is she saying#anything to him? like of that context? this is just a tragedy to her i feel like she's suffering with him and still wouldn't think he under#stands but is living the same thing like idk i like Anya reflecting about the similarity of their current positions but if this was his#choice even if he listened it wouldn't have mattered if he was planning to kill them all himself like im just now realizing some stuff#we foster implies things in canon are fact but sadly aren't and maybe thats more painful when we realize it.#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#anya mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#ask#enigminho

Kinda got a love/hate relationship with the history of K/S because it's like. Can I please have a queer discussion about this 1960s television show without it being reduced to "shipper discourse". I thought Spock and Kirk were homo long before I knew that their characters spawned a fanfiction counterculture. The bisexual dude who wrote the episode that really kick-started the movement didn't know it was going to coalesce into the fan phenomenon that it did, he was just writing what he knew how to write best: the repression of burning male desire, and two dudes doing homoerotic shit. Can I just talk about the repressed burning male desire please, and the implications of a gay angle to Kirk and Spock's story, without it being referred to as shipper discourse. Can I do that. Does this make sense
#yes queer men write fanfiction but the subculture itself wasnt really centered around us or around closeted male desire which is the part#i related to#and I don't always think it gets to be talked about in a way thats ever fully divorced from that context if that makes sense?#one could argue it never WILL be divorced from that context but I believe said subtext existed before k/s was invented so#anyway this is one if my most autistic posts to date#historic moment#i hope this makes sense#k/s#star trek#the premise#like i just feel like glossing it over as ship discourse is demeaning to the actual GAY part of the discussion. this was even seen when#Gay-Gay Abrams was making his reboots and people brought up the subtext as a possibility#and creators were like “grrrrr you shippers just want your two favs to kiss onscreen” which downplays the significance of two men#being INTIMATE ONSCREEN#and is a lazy way to sweep queer male rep under the rug idk idk Im tired#Kirk and Spock will always be dismissed as a possibility and thats the excuse thats always used#its just so tied up in that fandom culture#i mean its interesting its just also frustrating at times

"EVERYONE ELSE is misogynistic i LOVE female characters!!" - guy who is constantly ignoring important parts of female characters arcs bc they cant stand not hating One character for one minute. guy who mostly only discusses female characters relationships with men while complaining the sapphic ships "just dont make sense :/"
#meeple.txt#sorry im kind of losing it. over those dumbass threads#iykyk whatever#kind of batting a wasp nest rn saying anything about op#like sure making a multi paragraph barely readable angryrant about fandom misogyny sure makes you look better#but are you actually normal about these characters or do you just use them as argument pieces?#never seen op talk about candle or cabby or clover or suitcase etc etc etc outside of that post#or i guess. nickel x suitcase which as a ship just feels distasteful in a lot of ways but whatever#but that brings me to another point#do you really have any interest in analyzing these characters outside of a shipping context? whether its hating or pushing a ship#especially the way mic is often only really talked about either for tacomic hate or her relationships with men#and suitcase infantilization is brought up#yet op famously in the Fucked Up Taco Things post#went on about how taco Ruined suitcase and baseball's relationship#just stripping any agency suitcase had in that episode to villainize a character more#they were already doing bad and those things suitcase did were a conscious choice thats the fucking point!!!! she wants real respect#and baseball was kind of babying her constantly#im going to lose it#making a whole longggg post about how Nobody Truly wants to understand these characters. made by a guy who absolutely does not understand#tacomic#<- tagged to make sure op doesnt see this sorry tacomic tag /hj

"If I liked someone, I would hide it in the depths of my heart forever. I would never speak of it aloud, nor would I ever let anyone know."
so anyway I am watching this show now because there's not a lot to watch (for some reason I've gone off on a ZLH backlog and I do love to see Bailu) and omg don't spoiler but-
Xie Wei is talking about himself right, very hypothetically and this is not about Jiang Xuening at all :skull emoji: did he like her from like four years ago when they were going to the capital ... what's going on xie wei sir lmao as far as she knows he's whipped out his dagger 🗡️ like actually- at her more than a few times 😩 also, yo, is he also living a second life? (ok no spoil).
#cdrama#bai lu#zhang linghe#story of kunning palace#so i was following this up till the planned release in like may and then it got held up for many hot secs remember the weibo page was fried#and i was like its over we are never seeing the light of day#vaguely recall its sze related#but its here and when it came out i didnt actually watch it right away why idk but#anyway im here now!#i am shipping the zhang gongzhu and jiang xuening is tht ok#also jeeeebus wang xingyue is here what a roster#love to see it haha#t/n: *liked#but as in more than just “like” yk#in chinese we never use the actual word for love (as in, 爱 (ai))when talking about this particular sentiment in this context#it's 喜欢 (xi huan) always#which means a general non-specific “like” in some/most contexts (ie. I like lychees) but in this context it's really Not That#it is quite a bit more than that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)#the 我喜欢你 thing is not really a cn specific thing tbh i would say japanese is the same and even english to an extent idk OwO

I literally cant imagine beckory any age below 14 because it only works if tony develops as a person and also if they're a bit older + gregory has had time to get used to having friends and family 😭 which is why 12yo default gregory is still 100% a family boy aka his new fam is all he needs for the time being
#listen i only like beckory in a specific circumstance#not changing canon but in events after canon thats a hypothetical#i never thought about shippjng gregory until now because he needed friends and family#leagues more than a ship#and that still applies here to me#i always want to write tony as gregorys friend before the ship#because they need to BECOME friends first#its the unique circumstances of their relationship that im obsessed with jaheisueu#i always portray them older in drawings even if they wear the same outfits#bc thats just my bad for forgetting to change them#but all my beckory art is always in a context where#gregory has 3 star fam and has had them for a bit#and hes been friends with tony and ellis for a while too#so hes had a chance to lean into that routine and get used to having ppl in his life#i think if he started thinking about romance at like 14#thatd be another good sign for how his life has improved#that he can even think about it at all#yknow#pandas.txt#pandas talks#was just thinking about this today#i never considered shipping gregory in the 2 years hes been by fav#not only bc of the reasons above#but bc the only ship you even could have done was like gregory and evan#and obviously i didnt like that 💀#evan is the same way in that scenario#where he needs ppl who like him at all and good friends b4 anything

I need to be weirder about the scavengers and cannibalism...
#its been a long day... but im feeling better now. (thanks for the well wishes and such btw <3-)#(-sending my well wishes in return by tenfold bcs. damn. it seems stuff is really going around rn)#but yeah... just. augh. theres just smth about how the scavs sorta translate into more like. thriller-esque genres pretty well?#like. i feel somehow those themes compliment their characteristics? or could compliment their characteristics in a more rounded out way#sure. theyre generally a light hearted romp of absurdity with occasional themes of a not good not bad handling of 'mental health matters'#but they just really shine a bit in horrific circumstances. esp with the sort of absurdity they bring to the table#theyre odd people. even in the context of their generally weird and alien universe. and that right there feels like a trove of potential#its like. ok. the lost light crew? also odd. but thats a huge ship. full of people and variety and a sense of purpose and normalcy post-war#(normalcy being. whatever all those background folks were getting up too while plot happened around them. cruise ship stuff ig)#but in contrast. with the w.a.p crew. its an ark class ship with like. a handful of people. and a whole lot of junk and free time#both just cruising through space endlessly for years. one with hundreds of people. and one with like 6 people.#so both are technically isolated when theyre not making pit-stops planet or station side. but again. 100s vs 6 dudes.#think. top of the line cruise ship from hell with a small town sized populace vs a big shitty boat and 6 starving guys#both have the capacity to become case studies in madness. both could do really well thriller wise. but the scavs being a smaller group?#it only being the 6 of them emphasis the isolation perhaps. less variety. less change. same 6 people for 5(?) years#things could get weird fast. codependent mentalities. us vs them mindsets. an otherness about everyone else outside of their group#and then! then you add to the mix the fact that theyre eating/drinking from corpses?! *chefs kiss* awesome. love it.#non-stationary isolation + cannibalism. ough. perfect mix. a classic of maritime horror but in space! :D!#a big ship. small crew. living while knowing that as soon as you kick the bucket. your body is the meal. your body is the fuel.#no decorum about it. no faith. no belief. just perverse survival. bcs they might enjoy it. a bloody gluttony. with a bite. a sample. a taste#it takes seeing your buddy as a walking talking burger to another level. bcs every corpse you come across is also a burger. and a gas can#also fulcrum making candy out of corpses is so. particularly perfect when it comes to the horrifically absurd. just. smth about it. idk#but also also. the line. where was the line drawn for each of them? and when did they each cross it?#most of them dont seem like the type to jump head first into that. so how did they justify it to themselves? had they done it before?#and then. when did it become normal? a habit? smth enjoyable?#i might be running out of tags. but yeah. them being weirder. esp about each other and others.#nothing brings a group of people together like the overhanging knowledge that you sort of kinda wanna eat each other#(rlly wishing i could stomach realistic thrillers rn. but i just cant. gotta stick to written or artistic styles or risk panic attacks :/)#(ive tried a couple movies and shows now. and cant get through most of them. praise be synopses and peoples long rambles about them tho :D)#(nothing like reading someones passionate ramble about the meaning/symbolism of some gory nightmare without having to actually see it lol)

i miss posting and making and engaging with ieytd content but I will be honest sometimes it feels alienating. as a lesbian.
#bee's buzzing#ieytd#i dont know.. its probably just me being Strange. but.#the Main guy in the fandom is juniper. and he's interesting! but. i don't... think about him as often#and when i do it's never in the shipping / x reader context i see so frequently in the tags.#i dont ship him with agent phoenix because. my agent is an it/its dyke. so i dont really engage in that side of fandom#i also dont think about the handler as often because. idk i just think about the women more!#but juniper and agent phoenix and the handler are like. the only people i see talked about often#which is fine!! people like them. i also like them just. not in the same way/to the same extent.#im here for the women. but. they're not talked about often at all :[#when they are it's usually briefly in passing.#they get the worst of the mischaracterization too imo. because people just do not give them the same depth as they like to give-#- charas like john. it makes me kinda sad tbh.#and also the fandom does not. seem to make much space for f/f content.#i know like. the handful of other people who make f/f content for ieytd.#and. god. idk im still honestly a bit ticked off by one solaris post that 1) was not a good analysis i will be quite honest.#it was very surface level. like really basic info and also iirc not entirely accurate? i cannot remember anymore#but. 2). it started by saying 'nobody talks about solaris outside of fabbylaris' and that still makes my blood boil.#like. not to vaguepost but. the fabbylaris posters ARE talking about solaris outside of a shipping context. please. please#also there was a whole Thing a while back where people started being strange about non-feminine nonbinary agent phoenix.#and as a nonbinary butch-adjacent dyke. it made my skin crawl!!! im NOT feminine and idk why making agent phoenix not feminine is.#apparently Bad to a certain subset of the fandom#sorry but im a dyke and i WILL make the player insert protag a butch lesbian who doesnt use she/her.#and if you have a problem with that please think about Why people making the player insert nonbinary and androgynous/Vaguely Masc is-#- such a problem to you. and whether that is alienating to the trans people in the fandom.#okay. im normal now. goodnight.

being loved by someone who makes an effort to understand you does make u better as a person tbh
#i think about this a lot in context of self shipping especially#love can't heal you it can't fix anything that's wrong with you it can't even make things hurt less but it can help you understand yourself#it can help you understand others better#it can help you accept others for who they are and allow them to impact your life in unexpected ways#and tbh i dont love opposites attract tropes bc i feel like they have made people think they can't be with someone who is like them at all#or it wont work#tbh this is just me thinking about satoru bc im sappy leave me alone#i havent talked about satoken in any actual capacity in a minute let me have this

being one of the only people who understands the nuances of hayley and elijah is a hard job, but nevertheless…I shall persevere
#the originals#haylijah#like them as individuals and as a ship are so misunderstood leave them alone!!!#my friends have a free pass to dislike them but anyone else…it’s on SITE#idk I just think a lot of it is ppl taking things out of context#obviously not talking about personal preference bc that’s entirely different and totally valid#like the only ship in tvd that could give them a run for their money is klamille#bc I honestly prefer klamille when it comes to certain things#but hayley and elijah are my faves and im really protective over them lmao#also not to be petty bc I ship KH#BUT#what does that ship even offer hayley other than being a mother and savior to that man#I’m in a bitchy mood today I’m sorry#it’s tv at the end of the day and who cares#I just love ranting

One thing that I will say about me potentially bringing beej back (she says as she fills her drafts with posts about him) is the dynamic has to shift DRASTICALLY for it to work with the way I am now vs the way I was when I was obsessed with him
I was drawn to him because I had a desperate need to BE needed and his pathetic clinginess fit the bill, among other things like relating to his mother issues 😂 but im a healthier person now overall! And tbh I've never been happier in my life, with my partner, with everything 💖💖 I think in order for it to work he ALSO needs to improve and strive to be better and happier and idk...maybe that's beautiful!
I'm thinking maybe it's more of a slow burn because he really needs to learn how to be a FRIEND first before he can be in a healthy romantic relationship. So I'm imagining after he's had some time to reflect on his mistakes from the musical he ends up in me and my partner's house and we just...hang! We play games and watch movies and fuck around and he has a silly rivalry with my partner and he's given the opportunity to just BE happier and eventually down the line it just becomes something a little more ☺️
#jane journals#self insert talk#🪲 breather and the beast 🧃#updated ship taaaaag#am i gonna bother to retag all my old posts? FUCK NO#if u want some more context to my history w him its the same thing just with no emojis 😂😂#ourghh this ended up being more sappy than i thought itd be > w <#but idk its just smth i was thinking about!!#also my partner just interjected that its probably that they were just TRYING to summon a demon 😂😂#LIKE NOW THATS KILLING ME#beej having his little spiritual journey and reflecting in the void and suddenly hes poofed into the home of two hot ppl#his favorite thing#but yeah ourgh youll see that in the queue now and then!! :3#ive got it filled for the whoooole week while im on vacation with ruby ☺️☺️☺️#so ill be off and on!! i love you guys!!!#ill be taking pictures and stuff

chnt fandom was so mean to you and for what🙁ur so cool..
i can think of a couple reasons
#the whole transfem elijah situation#saying i related to elijah in some way#everyone either hating elijah or wanting to fuck her#the people who want to fuck her get blocked#so they probably hate me for blocking them over that#the people who hate elijah are so annoying about it so im mean back to them#they hate that shit for some reason#probably dont like the million elijah drawings that much either#someone hates me because i didnt like being accused of an egg laying kink#joke or not dont accuse someone you dont know of an egg laying kink???#that one was weird#couple people on twitter hate me because my ex said something about me i genuinely dont know what i did there but#like my only context was one screenshot of a priv account who was also confused about what i did and man i took that shit to heart#like i was gone for a month that shit sucked worst depressive state i have ever been in um#theres probably a couple people who were mad about me using ai with the homophobic elijah volkov copypasta#there was someone on my strawpage a while back who got mad at me for that so at least one person is#they said “you talk alot of all ai is bad for someone who homophobic elijah volkov” or something like that#which is funny because i havent used ai at all since homophobic elijah volkov#theres probably more i cant be remembering all the shit i did man#most of it is so insanely harmless like ok u hate to see a cute girl winning#also people hate when u ship a “bad” character with a “good” character#example uh rowlijah#so yeah theres a couple reasons i can think of#hated by an entire fandom at only 14 years old what a time to be alive#to be fair most 14 year olds are annoying#this includes me#like man i look back at the shit i said from like march and man i was annoying as fuck!!!! i probably still am!!!!#but idgaf... a boy can be annoying and obnoxious and sometimes thats ok
