#it's fiction i can ship it all i want

[risingfire17-the-weeb-trash]

List 7 reason why you ship Amuto lol 👀

Someone's looking for inspiration for the fic she promised me lolololol Ok I gotchu!!!!

He protec...like seriously I've lost count of how many times he's saved her life DESPITE being with Easter, her enemy! My favorite is when Easter traps her in that greenhouse and he knows where she's going to be before anyone else and rescues her! And when they both jump to catch the embryo and fall, presumably to their deaths, and he uses his body to shield her as much as he can.

She's the bright and shiny manic pixie dream girl he needs (I'm a slut for that trope ok don't @ me! TT_TT)

When he's hurt or in trouble, she's the one he goes to for help, (instead of Easter or his sister) because he has faith in her. And even if she's mad at him, she worries for him and goes out of her way to make sure he's ok.

She can tell when he's hurting or acting against his will, even when others can't and get mad at him. It's why she refused to fight him when Easter fused him with an X egg to control him.

Despite wanting to be close to her, he knows when his presence will hurt her and makes sure that doesn't happen (when he tricked Tadase to anger Amu so Easter didn't make trouble for her family for helping him)

He changes for her, from buying snacks to apologize for the broken tarts to defying Easter to protect her. His confession is an age-appropriate kiss on the cheek and then taking off and sorting himself out while he waits for her to grow up. When he comes back to visit, instead of sneaking into her room like he once did, he gets permission to visit from her parents (Look at him building a good relationship with his in-laws!)

Let's be real, he's hot and smooth af, and look at her blush! She knows it too!

Get Ready for the Traffic Shipping Tournament of 2025!!!!!

It is time to vote for your favourite ships again!!!

The top 32 ships from the 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series fandom on ao3 was chosen to take part in this tournament (The stats of which you can see here)

However unlike last years match placements, which were random, this year we're giving everyone an opponent of their size by placing them in pairs by their order (Basically: 1 with 2, 3 with 4, 5 with 6,... so on and so on)

Every round of polls will last a week

Round 3 is NOW

Finally and most importantly, be kind to each other. This is just a silly tournament

I hate the stretch lines in the front of Curly's uniform because that means the devs rushed to make a model in like a month or so and thought "They gotta at least know he has huge knockers, gotta know he's got back pain." Cause like what is the thematic importance of his tits having overhang?

What responsibility is that representing? Breast reduction? It shows an inherent greed in his character due to the excess and heshouldletmeholdone and that he clearly is blinded cause if he tries to look down his damn ladder all he's seeing is his own cleavage.

The mentally stable Dimitri Fire emblem 3 hopes.

It surprises me that there's still ppl claiming so, but then I remember we're talking about 3h interpretations and I have to make peace with it.

But that doesn't stop me from venting a little bit in this little space I have lol. Actually, it dries me and makes me feel bad to bring this up because I will have to talk bad about Dedue, and I don't want to talk Bad about Dedue. He's a genuinely good boy. But "Human" nonetheless, which means Flaws. I like Felix too but he's become some sort of a clown that doesn't make me feel too bad. I like Felix tho, In a different way.

Mostly talking about these two because the take that "Dimitri has better support system" baffles me because, technically, these two are his support system in HopesVerse. The persons who Dimitri relays on and seek solace/advice/support. The rest doesn't really tackle any of his personal struggles (aside from the Mage!Mitri frustrated dream, but that's out of the bad equation in our 'mentally unwell' set of pixels, and Shez only has a glimpse). Contrary, to Houses verse where the whole blue lions cast knew about his shit, didn't know what to do, but didn't leave either.

I tackled this topic with other person on Twitter who was (or still is) on board with this take and the phrase they used was They contained him better, which of course I agree and remarked that was exactly the problem. Contain him is gonna be contra productive. I used a water dam analogy, where the structure of such dam is damaged, and the pressure of water keeps accumulating. Causing a foreseeable damage for the dam itself and the surroundings. You don't need to be a genius to understand it, you need experience or knowledge for mental ill topics tho.

I really don't want to extend so much on here because it's mostly just, rant format more than a proper analysis so I just want to point out these two things in their support conversations.

First, Dedue. Encourage him to keep on the vengeful path. Which we know was the final goal of Azure Moon and if you payed attention to 3 houses message. The whole Vengeful argument was something Bad, to keep it simple. Despite Dimitri actively looking for answers/guidance for something that, in a rational state he can see clearly like vengeance will consume his life (also Shez and Felix called out this behavior). Dedue answer only encourage him to keep on that path, because he would do that 💔. Presenting 2 oposite views is a great formula for confusion and disorientation. Now, Dedue's role is primary SUPPORT, not guidance nor orientation. He will support his shit no matter what, and we are quite aware of that if played Houses.

Second, Felix. Felix is a special case. He is smart but also an idiot lacks A LOT of soft skills to actually be of help. He's the only one who knows in this verse about Dimitri having a mental issue. In their A support to say the least, so they don't close or solve anything. What makes it more worrisome is the fact that Felix conceals the issue as a secret.

"So try to keep that whole "removing their heads" thing in check, yeah? We can just call it our little secret."

this extract here makes me feel so unwell 😭help

The whole burden falls over him and his lack of skills and wisdom on the matter will be too much for him later on. He at least, will be able to recognize that the problem is beyond of his capabilities and will look for help. Felix himself has his own issues and journey where he needs to learn. He's forced to get pass beyond some of his angry teen behavior but hasn't completely get over it.

There is a lot more to tackle, but that requires more work and time. What are the topics some of you think is important to cover around understanding the Hopes verse resolution? Dimitri's route? something? Do you think the route without Byleth is better? With that being said, I would like to delve deeper into character analysis, and the role each played for the Lords too. That also requires to talk about the Byleth and needs a whole analysis on their own, which requires time (which i don't have much lol) To end this vent, I would like to encourage people to do a little research for the terminology they're using like "Support System". Who makes it up and how it operates successfully. The fact that ppl saying "he has better support system" only because he didn't go feral on the run alone is not entirely valid. A reminder that people can feel alone with or without people around them. And containing the issue within doesn't solve any problem. At best, it's presented later. At worse, it gets worse.

[utilitycaster]

I know I said something very similar to this recently but honestly I don't feel like finding it, but: I do think it's valid to explore a character who has often been deprived of the opportunity to make choices for themselves. However, I find that fans who get really wrapped up in that particular part of the narrative almost invariably are like "I want them to make their own choices" and also have a very specific list of what they think their own choices are, and will throw a tantrum when the character actually makes an entirely different choice.

[gojonanami]

Uh? It’s CANON Gojo and geto saw each other as BROTHERS.

alright I’m gonna answer this now lmao — I think with fiction everyone is entitled to their own take on things but with gojo and geto I believe the two to be soulmates — whether it’s platonic or romantic —

I personally see it as romantic, but if you don’t that’s completely fine and I’m not here to force my opinion onto you — it was in the tags — you don’t like, don’t read it! That simple.

I mean I could explain to you why I see it as romantic —

gojo calls geto his “one and only,”

the button left behind when geto defects is his second button that gojo ends up with — the button often given in Japanese culture to romantic partners / interests,

gojo literally says, when he sees kenjaku in geto’s body, “I know in my soul you’re not suguru geto” even in the English dub they localized is as “in my heart and soul,”

to add to that, kenjaku’s whole plan hinged on gojo freaking out upon seeing geto’s body — gojo is someone who is always very calm — he only gets emotional when it comes to geto. literally itadori dies and megumi got taken over Sukuna and he stays completely calm (for the most part), nothing in comparison in his reactions to geto’s defection or kenjaku

geto’s body literally fights back against kenjaku when trying to hurt gojo — and kenjaku has been alive since the heian era at least, and he says he’s never seen that happen before — what that says about their connection is pretty clear cut in my opinion.

the whole theme of jjk 0 is that love is the most twisted curse of all — where did gojo learn that from? Obviously there’s more than one type of love — but this movie was focused on romantic love in particular (between yuta and rika) but also was reflecting on geto and gojo’s relationship

gojo’s last words to geto are allegedly three words according to the VAs and what else could they be? Other than the theme of the entire movie — “I love you???” and then Geto literally blushes in the manga and says, “at least you could have cursed me in the end” — which gojo kinda did.

there’s a whole bunch of other things I could analyze and I’m not here to debate with you or anyone else! it’s fiction — it’s up to us to interpret things that are vague. And you are entitled to your opinion — but what I don’t like is you telling me that my opinion is wrong when it’s not!

It’s vague in the manga for a reason. never did they call each other brothers, nor did they call each other lovers — all they said is that they were best friends. And a lot of people are best friends with their brothers but also a lot of lovers are best friends so

you are allowed to have your opinion friend, just don’t tell me mine is wrong — if you don’t like the ship, read the tag and don’t read the fic!

himbo blonde TV star X fat nobody from england 🇺🇸🌴🇬🇧 hollywood's next dramatic headline

shit chatting and WIPs under cut (i really liked the sketch 🤷‍♂️)

naw but ive been wanting to draw anthro Bolt and dog Jeff for ages 💛 idk why i went all out on this, i didnt even like how the flat colour looked in comparison to the sketch ohhhh thats probably why huh. ok

classic Jeff move - make no proper art for actual months i think, drop one banger that's not anything i actually planned to make, then dip again for a few months byeeee

[ihhfhonao3]

Shockingly, I do think there can be nuance in this issue. "Being proship is a discourse stance, you're going to find discourse and people arguing with the 'other side' in the tag that is intended for discourse, and part of our culture is built upon fighting back against the people that have hurt us and calling out their hypocrisy and cruelty" and "seeing all of this negativity and hatred from antis in a place that is supposed to be safe and welcoming is actively harming my health, because screenshotting someone saying 'you deserved to get raped' and having someone else repost it saying 'this is insane can you believe this!!!' doesn't make me feel very good about myself. and it makes it worse that this is put into every single tag we have, including tags that are more intended for positivity and spreading joy like the tag that is explicitly labeled 'proship positivity.' some of the other tags are also for things that might squick me out, like the comship and darkship tags. there is no place for me to go, I am surrounded by discomfort" are thoughts that can and should coexist I feel

you seem like one of the calmest eluciens about the ship war 😂

*gently holds your hand* I say this in the sweetest most comforting way possible but...it's because I don't care 🤣🤣

I appreciate people's passion for the series and the characters but...SJM will do what she wants in the end. I'm 99% confident Elucien is happening because logically with the story she's been telling, it's what makes sense to me but you know what - she might do a 360 and change everything in the next book so that 1% doubt will always be there because I'm not her and I don't know what's in her brain lol.

I love Lucien, I love Elain and I very obviously love them together. I will ship elucien until the end regardless of what happens because to me, they will always make more sense than any other ship. But I also don't want to spend time arguing with people or trying to convince them about whether I'm right or not when in the end, we could all be wrong anyway haha.

There's a lot of nastiness that comes with this ship war and it's just not worth it. It takes away from the joy the series gives to people and there are real people behind these screens. Ultimately, I'm here for a good time not to deal with people being mean. I've also been in the fandom for a long time and had my fair share of arguments/pettiness so yo girl is TIRED and has seen it all lol. My policy always comes back to ship and let ship but don't be an asshole about it.

[batcavescolony]

The pain of finding a fic with the concept you've been yearning for. You've finally found it, it's the only one in the fandom like it... But that fics main paring is a ship you HATE with a burning passion 😭

[louiesselfshipramblings]

Danganronpa Yume Thoughts

Gonna be real: I have NOT directly played any Danganronpa game. I have, however, watched a friend play both most of 1 and parts 2, plus I've seen a bit of gameplay for V3, so I have a grasp on it for the most part. That said, the series has attractive gals, and just my luck, all my darlings meet untimely fates. Boo hoo :[

SO! I wanted to just ramble on some thoughts for each one. Gonna have a different s/i for each gal, for simplicity sake. I'll also be assuming either the Killing Games did NOT happen, or best-case scenario happened where everyone gets out alive (which I think is the ending of 2, anyways). So, uh. Mild spoilers. Mainly characters specific.

Celestia is very interesting, as I really analyze her. Her whole persona as "Queen of Lies" is just a front to appear special, to be more than just plain old Taeko. It's not enough to just be the Ultimate Gambler, she has to be this spectacular, strikingly dressed French woman, with desires for a classic European castle and a harem of vampire boys, heh. It's kinda funny to think of, but also quite sad. Maybe she didn't want everything she said, but perhaps in her lies remains a kernel of truth about what she really wants.

I think of em all, Celeste is the hardest for me for making an s/i. Maybe Ultimate Actor, to compliment her? Maybe Ultimate Empath, to help her? That's really what I want; to help her feel...how to say this...to feel right. To examine who Taeko is, who Celestia is, and come to who is real for her. Maybe it means a quiet life as a small time cardshark, maybe it means a prestigious life as the head of a casino chain. Whatever it may be, I want it to be something that makes her happy, something that makes her feel special, and something where we can do it together. I think she deserves it. Hm...maybe I hide my true talent, sorta like Makoto did. The Ultimate Guide, perhaps? I dunno, still a work in progress.

Comparatively, and I mean this is the nicest way possible, Ibuki is super simple. She is! She's just a silly girl who wants to rock out and sing and make people smile all around the world. That's the goal of any musician. And she should be able to! I'm talking world tours, baby! Solo act across Japan, China, India, Europe, African, North America, South America, and sure Austrailia if there's time. She'd want to bring her music to every corner of the globe...and maybe also try a bit of food there. Get a bit of a regional appetite, ya know! So what if she gets fat; she's punk, and fat is punk >:]

Firstly, was kinda thinking like...the Ultimate Groupie as my s/i lol. Seemed a lil silly. Maybe the Ultimate Manager? The Ultimate Supporter? Ya know, just SOMETHING that will make getting the Ibuki world tour easier to get off the ground. Not that she couldn't do it herself, but always nice to have a hand, yeh?

Kirumi...now, I find her interesting, as she straddles a middle ground. Not as simple as Ibuki, but definitely having more complexity akin to Celestia. Kinda just the dynamic of culprits to victims, I suppose. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, buuuuut...I don't think Kirumi would wanna be prime minister? Don't get me wrong, she's talented, she's capable, but she's young. Like, what, hardly in her twenties, and she's responsible for the well-being of an entire nation? Yes, she does take her duties as the Ultimate Maid seriously, but just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean ya GOTTA. It's like putting a gifted kid through a special program; they can prolly handle it, but is it gonna help em through the long run? Prolly not. I feel she'd be much more content and happy (even if she doesn't fully get it) being a maid to a family as is, and see where she goes from there. I think she should get that choice.

As for my s/i with her, this one is easy. I'd be the Ultimate Butler, her perfect counterpart. Why? To spark some drive in her, some friendly competition. To pull out some emotion, some pride, some cockiness, even...some romance? Just someone who can keep up with her, and break down that icy wall around her. Or at least, have it come down on her off hours, ya know, ehehehe...

[optiwashere]

Answering a batch of these anons at once and under the break because I don't want this blog to be a pit of negativity.

Also, as a reminder: any bashing in my inbox will be ignored and continuous bashing will get you blocked. Be kind to others within the fandom. We can all have different preferences without being assholes to one another ty ty.

If you like that Space Frog/(ex-)Sharran ship, it's probably good to skip this. Also, what people ship has no impact on how I think of them so we're probably still cool unless you give me a reason to think otherwise lol.

It's very difficult to love both characters, exist in this fandom, and try to explain to other folks that, no, I don't see it lol. I've had to do it like 12 times now. It's fascinating.

I tried to read some fics to understand the hype. The toxic thing is part of the enjoyment, but they get past the murder attempt so fast and turn pretty quickly to respecting each other so it never even gave me toxic ship vibes. Just two ladies going, "good for her!"

So then I try to approach it from a more wholesome angle. Or a redemptive angle. Oh well. Not everything can be for everyone! I'm certain there's plenty of shippers in the fandom that can't stand my interpretations, so I'm not going to try and take a moral high ground on this. Just different tastes.

Also, a ship doesn't need to have any canon basis to be shipped, but maybe I'm too used to genuinely awful toxicity in toxic ships.

Plus there's no real "canon" in BG3 other than what exists in each of our playthroughs, so it's all moot anyways.

That's pretty much where I stand on it anon, so you've got me in your corner on that as well.

In my playthroughs, their banter when I had them together was always very neutral in any sort of romantic light. Again, a ship doesn't need canon basis to be a ship, but it really does come from that one scene. And that hatchet gets buried almost instantly.

So I just never got it. Maybe it was more of a thing in Early Access? But I like to consider stories when they're finished in totality rather than from the morsels EA gave people.

And I love that for you!

She has a fucking lich-queen to murder.
