(ln8 spoilers) jinshi thinking except for my godly looks i am just average and then his smartass goes and kills around five birds with just one brand. someone whose status is so high that even his name can't be said by anyone except the emperor jinshi branded himself with the crest of the empress vowing loyalty to her assuring her he doesn't wants to take the place of her son. one-upping his "bro" with this who refuses to let him leave the line of succession wouldn't let him become a commoner doesn't wants to let him become a servant to the royal family. only slaves get branded and if this ever got out there will be chaos in the court. gyokuyou tho considers jinshi like a brother and he did swear loyalty to her but if she ever tried to cross his family her clan's brand on his body would be enough to prove her as an adultress which would be bad for her and her clan.

and jinshi did this in front of these two people and maomao so now she is the only one who can see him naked and the emperor cannot order him to marry anyone which was something that was definitely gonna happen had he not done what he did. as a bonus he gets to spend more time with maomao after a long time and he did all this while saying the exact words: empress gyokuyou, your enemy i shall never be in front of maomao reassuring her because she once muttered i don't want to be an enemy to empress gyokuyou and he had heard her but before he could tell her that he had no intention of doing that either he couldn't because of the lishu incident. one of the major reasons maomao hadn't accepted her own feelings for jinshi one of the obstacles he promised to remove for her. even though he doesn't even know that maomao's concerns about her becoming gyokuyou's enemy had to do with his birth secret his true status. that no matter what he is the rightful successor. something jinshi himself isn't even aware of and yet without knowing that he did this to deal with it all in a single way most preferable to him: masochism

If your f/o is someone who isn't shown to easily catch any kind of feelings in canon... imagine them being unable to stop thinking of you. Maybe they always believed that stuff like love and/or friendship were totally beyond them, and yet here they are, smiling and thinking back to an interaction you two had earlier that day, or looking forward to your next meeting, because seeing you makes them so weirdly happy.

Maybe they're even in denial at first like "There's no way this person is making me feel this way-" and they eventually have to accept that yes, they do in fact care about you.

so i wanted to rant about this like an hour ago because of the way i am as a person, but didn't want to latch onto a reblog. so i'm making my own post about this!

looonnggg rant below i get very emotional very easily

so!! this has probably been shown to hell and back, but i'm still gonna talk about this cuz... wtf

now one of my main problems with the thumbnail paired with the title is the fact that things like "oc x canon," "yume," and "f/o" are slapped in there. maybe it's just my stupid ass, but it's sort of coming across as the act of selfshipping itself and the vocabulary used along with it is "going too far."

no???

that's the BASICS of selfshipping. those terms are used in perfectly normal contexts. there is rarely, maybe even never, a time when those terms have gone too far.

next. i'll admit, i did not watch the video. i don't plan to for this rant. but apparently, it is about situations in which selfships had become ACTUALLY harmful to those involved.

so the thumbnail is very obviously clickbait.

but why?? the situations themselves would have been enough to get people talking, but tacking on innocent terms to get some views is at the very least, kind of just mean, and at the worst, actually harmful to our community!!

instead of churning out ragebait to get a few clicks, why can't you just make your thumbnails ACTUALLY interesting to draw people into what you have to say? because ragebait will only make people upset enough to drive them away.

i'm definitely overreacting. whatever. this has been stewing in my brain for like an hour.

thank you, good day. i love you all.

When someone has the same f/o as you moodboard (ok sharing edition)

i want both of them to kiss ME but i don’t want THEM to kiss ykyk

[fumifooms]

Heyoooo. I wanted to say, I'm sorry about that mean-ass, insulting anon you got a while back. That ask ended up pissing me off so bad I ended up actually reading your Marchil analysis posts. Originally, I was meh and kinda confused when the ship showed up in Ao3 because I didn't see what people liked about it. Reading your posts about how they were narrative foils opened my mind more, and I realized, Oh shit yeah there's a lot of potential in this ship for how these two can develop each other.

Part 2: Marcille and Chilchuck may not have scenes like the infamous bath scene with Farlin, but the concept of someone who's terrified of being alone, the reality of her friends' mortality, a hopeless romantic catching feelings for a repressed, divorced man whose wife left him--okay yeah, I absolutely understand the appeal of this ship. Marcille would be like, Why the fuck is my heart thrumming for this sharp-tongued bitch, and also the terror from falling in love with someone so short-lived Part 3: Either way, love your analysis posts. I am going to be contemplating the potential of Marcille and Chilchuck for a long while. There is something so tragically sweet about it

You get it, you really do… I could list off everything I love about them but I’d be here forever because it’s literally everything and there are so many fun ways to spin it… You’re very right about them being tragically sweet, overall where their arcs meet the most is "Loving is something worth doing even with the risk of loss", and I say risk but really it’s more the inevitable eventuality of it as canon does love to point out. If you want the reward of being loved you must go through the mortifying ordeal of being known. No love however brief is wasted. Let me see you and stay. It’s very much sort of the final boss to their arcs for them to get invested in each other in such a way, to get involved romantically— emotionally with someone knowing what’s coming and that she barely has two decades left with him (who mistreats his health so much he very well could die early), and to shoot your shot for something new with hope in your heart and enough confidence that you’re worth loving. He’s not a prince charming but to her he sort of is, all virtuous husband this reliable dependable Chilchuck that, all "you may be flawed but I’ll still romanticize your qualities and convince you that you and your love for your beloved are something worth fighting for".

What if I was old bread that solidified to be hard as rock and you were like warm soup and by soaking in your presence I softened……… What if you stubbornly grew on me like yeast and it brought out my flavor like beer as I opened up and allowed you in………. What if your hair was golden, the epitome of beauty to me, and my hair turned silver, your worst nightmare……. I think about them a normal amount

We got someone named Chloe harassing self shippers now?

Further crack idea:

Chapter 3 Matilda meeting Actors AU Matilda and asking 51 questions about Mercuria and Kanjira 😭

Do you mean little Matilda or Canon Matilda? I'll do both just in case

Young Matilda: Huh? Who is this lady? (Kanjira) She's not Sonetto, are you sure you're me?

Matilda: Listen here you little menace! That's my girlfriend Kanjira, and this- (Holds Mercuria's hand) Is my girlfriend Mercuria! Get it right!

Young Matilda: Eh?!

Actors AU Matilda having to explain that no, she's no longer in love with Sonetto and has moved on and is currently in a happy relationship with her two girlfriends, meanwhile Little Matilda is wide eyed asking literally every question that pops into her brain.

"How did you manage to get two girlfriends?"

"..Is that an insult?"

"But they're so pretty for you"

"Listen here you piece of-"

She warms up to the idea of having Kanjira and Mercuria as lovers (they praised her a lot and found her really cute and Lil Matilda liked the attention), but she'll continue to have a crush on Sonetto until she can get over it.

Kanjira to Matilda: You really look like a duck when young!

Matilda: What?! I don't! Right Mercuria??

Mercuria: . . .

Matilda: Right, Mercuria?

Canon Matilda (pre 1.3 and 2.0) would be more apprehensive. She would be questioning Actors AU Matilda a lot more and wondering why she would move on from Sonetto.

There's still a chance Sonetto returns those feelings, right? Well, no. Sonetto is dating Schneider so, in this universe, not really.

"Why would you give up on Sonetto? The greatest Matilda would NEVER give up on something she loves!"

"Was I- Was I really like that? My God I was annoying "

"H-how dare you insult the great Matilda?!"

She's a bit... Bitter, saying she wouldn't give up like the Matilda in this world, which also clouds her judgement a bit. Mercuria and Kanjira can't lie, that is how Matilda used to act before entering the set.

[trans-rights-coastalmangoes]

y'all ever have that piece of media that you genuinely really love and it's got a huge active fanbase for it and everything but you can't really engage with the fandom at all because your experience with it was so so different than what other people are posting about

Imagine your nonhuman f/o that can read minds, reading your mind when you don't know.

F/o usually finds themselves in your thoughts more than theirs when you're around taking notes on your expressions, and how you act depending on what you're thinking. Perhaps it's all just a game to them and think it's fun or they're just awkward about bringing it up or some reason they can't tell you. whatever it is they're still there listening.

Maybe you're thinking about something that makes you flustered. A moment, a trait, ect being completely lost in thought, and conveniently they asked what you're thinking about or they may say/do something related to your thoughts conveniently making you flustered.

Or something more dreadful like an intrusive thought or a bad memory coming back when you least expect it. Thankfully your f/o was there the comfort you, and just knowing the right thing to say. As they make sure to take care with any needs you have.

It could be something more random like you thinking of the weirdest and craziest scenarios in your head, ponder over things that mean nothing to any other person as f/o secretly listen fascinately being amused.

The possibilities are endless, so as your thoughts!

I’ve definitely been having a lot of blorbo dreams lately.

I think… I think I had three in a row?

—

1. Kara & I were at this kinda fancy 1-story house with a pool? I fell in the pool, swam & left it on the other side, and there was this club there?? Like, it was a competition where people drew and did performances based on their art or something? But I felt self-conscious because I did MS Paint art so I left… and also I had déjà vu from an older dream that said that place was evil, which is also a valid reason to leave. Anyways, I swam back in the pool, & pathetically crawled back into the house & in room where Kara was sitting on the couch? And he just had this comical expression of confusion on him. Like, he didn’t care his wife was drenched & was crawling on the floor like an injured bug. He was just baffled. And I told him, WHILE still crawling on the floor “if anyone comes looking for me, tell them I’m not here”, and he was just like “…okay-“.

2. I guess I really wanted to go to California for this one specific Starbucks. But I turned into Hawks at some point(??), and I almost forgot I was there for Starbucks until I flew over the Starbucks and I was like “shit! I should get that Starbucks!”. But the Starbucks only had like… juice and those protein cracker packs? Anyways, I then realized I could fly to Disneyland like that (Disneyland and I have some serious beef in my dreams), but I fucking wOKE UP BEFORE I GOT THERE-

And 3. I was with this group of people? And we were in what was supposed to be a “DHMIS Inspired Escape Room”. Except the room took place outside… and it was themed after a schoolyard or something… and a monster rabbit was involved… & I’m 90% sure we were supposed to actually die. Barely actually DHMIS themed, but I’m pretty sure I saw Red Guy at one point.

I recently learned about Reverse Selfship AUs (where you are the fictional character and your F/O is the self shipper) and I am so entranced by the concept but have no idea what to do with it.

[alovesickdork]

Ya know something? I find it ironic that my brain's immediate reaction to getting betrayed by someone who I thought was my friend, was to get me to focus on Starcream.

"Oh, you've been metaphorically backstabbed? Here! Have the whiny jet who keeps betraying people!" Like, damn.
