I dislike you with a passion, romantic payjay.
#inanimate insanity#rambler o'clock#payjay ii neg#paper ii#oj ii#romantic payjay neg#i. just think they're more compatible and loving as platonic#like i see the romantic appeals#HOWEVER..#platonic payjay is just more flavorful to me#like yes#seeing your boyfriend die infront of you is a very scary sight#but imagine if it were your best friend#the one who was been with you since the statt#the one that has guided you through everything#and never once stopped trying to appeal to everyone#even you#more of a dagger in the heart than a heart broken#the aching for your best friend. the aching of someone who you loved dearly and the friendliness they gave out.#sorry im done rambling#tag rambles

it’s very sweet seeing the scene in Equilibirum where jadzia and julian are talking alone in the cramped ship quarters at night, and julian is just.
entirely and completely devoid of his old pushy behaviour even though it’s clear he still absolutely has feelings for her at the time. taking her feelings entirely seriously because she’s his dear friend and she’s scared and confused and he unfortunately knows far more of how she’s feeling that he can let on.
(and more than the writers were aware of at this point, which makes it all the more interesting how much it comes across in that scene tbh, and places his later comments that maybe she just has lots of trauma from the institute in a different light, since with hindsight it comes across less that he’s being dismissive and more that he’s fitting her reactions into a framework more familiar to him: that of nightmares resulting from trauma that hasn’t been processed fully.)
and it very much also emphasises jadzia’s affection for julian too, that she trusts him and is going to him to share her vulnerabilities and discuss her concerns because she knows julian will listen and show sympathy and will just. let her ruminate and wallow for a bit until she feels better.
really highlights the character development and shift in their relationship dynamic.
#star trek#star trek ds9#julian bashir#jadzia dax#.you know i do understand the appeal of them as a romantic ship like i get it.#.absolutely not for me but i can see it.#.it’s the friendship and comfort and trust in each other and all that.#.i just love their platonic bond so so much.#.esp bc i am an absolute sucker for when like… a character is in unrequited love and the other character knows this and it doesn’t make.#.the friendship awkward or anything.#.like ‘hah remember when you baked me heart shaped cookies for valentines?’#.’lol yeah and then i found out you were allergic to the icing i used lmao.’#.that kind of dynamic. where the prior state of unrequited love is just a fun piece of lore to the friendship.#.love that so much.#trek meta

I don't talk much about AlanJeff bc there's not much I can say that there hasn't said before but my god the one face Alan was making with his eyes close in absolute ecstasy and pleasure while fucking Jeff and the way he smiled after... I'm sorry Mr Sailub Hemmawich, but I need you to have at least 15 dramas more for you to make more of that
#sailub hemmawich#pit babe#pit babe the series#alanjeff#jeffalan#this man has so much sex appeal im so mad#i dont know how to explain but everytime i see him im like HOT#I don't care about your personal agenda and your romantic and fluff aspirations give me more of that

The way people get so weird about Shadria makes me wanna scream. What do you mean "well in CANON they're [insert label] and they CANONICALLY don't see each other romantically so it's weird and you can't ship it!!" My sibling in Christ, Sonadow is the most popular ship in this fandom. Y'all don't gaf about canon 💀
People will preach about not letting canon shackle your shipping experience in fandoms until it's a ship they don't like or deem "problematic" then all of a sudden the canon relationship status matters and shipping it now means that you think it's canon. But the same rules don't apply to other non canon ships. Just say you personally don't like it and pick a lane for goodness' sake.
#sonic#shadow the hedgehog#maria robotnik#shadria#i say this as someone who enjoys them as both platonic romantic and a secret third thing#the way shadria shippers get talked about in this fandom kinda pisses me off like get behind me my people#if you're not gonna act this way towards sonadow shadamy or soknux for also not being canon will you please behave#being unable to see the brilliance and beauty in shadow and maria in a romantic light is such a waaasssteeee#like you don't need to ship them obviously that's valid but STILL#one of the biggest appeals for me is the way their relationship and the love they had for each other doesn't fit neatly into one box#i made a post talking about it already so i won't again but ughhh#i think i'm gonna have to double down on making shadria stuff this year chat#last post for a little while. needed to get this off my chest before cracking down on studying#momento rambles

friend requested some fluffy agent 24 with my agents since I never draw any content for them lol
#that's cause I personally don't really ship them romantically (more into platonic/qpr 24) BUT I do see the appeal why most ppl do#also some the art/fanfic is really nice and cool so there's that :]#splatoon#agent 24#captain 3#agent 3#agent 8#oc: shion#oc: ananke#unlike that one calfish sketch I most likely will not be finishing/remaking this lol

How am I expected to watch tvd season seven believing Damon and Bonnie aren't in love or have the tiniest romantic feelings for each other.
#people constantly joking about them being a couple#damon infiltrating himself in every single one of her romantic relationships#them CONSTANTLY reminding them es and everyone they're best friends#almost as if they needed to remind themselves of that#likeee#the potential was there#damon was way too centered around elena but it would have been so nice for him to fall in love with someone who doesn't remind him of one of#his long lost loves#who doesn't have amara's face#as much as i like delena post s5 i certainly see the appeal of bamon#bonnie bennett#damon salvatore#bonnie x damon#bamon#kat graham#ian somerhalder

do NOT say core four polycue when you really mean tim/kon/bart & wow look cassie is also here ❤️
#i’m sure someone means it genuinely#so shoutout to them (?)#personally it doesn’t appeal to me but maybe that’s bc i’m sick of relationships being categorized#as either romantic or sibling-coded#like bruh maybe they’re just friends. sit down somewhere#u don’t have to say u see characters as siblings as an excuse not to ship them friend it is quite literally ur prerogative#you could not convince me that any of the girls are genuinely attracted to the guys. yes even greta welcome to my twisted mind#they r buddies!!!! chill!!!!!#and if people ship them i shake my head in disapproval and keep scrolling. laugh out loud#what’s bro yappin about#dc

love how years later i still really like cassidy/hanzo. Im gonna blame this on the fact every time im in a game with a cass we somehow end up hip to hip for most of the game and its just silly overall
#overwatch#overwatch 2#yeehan#yeehan is still the best ship name for them i love it#hanzo#cassidy#i was looking at my old art. as i do sometimes#and mannnn…… i still think theyre a funny duo#like i dont think i ship them hard romantically but in a flirting context. do we get what im saying#the immortal Will They Will They Not appeals to me….#ignore that comic i made where hanzo asks ana/jack/gabe for their approval LIIIIIKEEEE CMON THATS FUNNY#but yeah…… i wanna draw them again……#heh……. hey….. if anyones read this far….. you wanna throw an idea or two…..#JUST TO DO SOMETHING QUICK AND EASY i still think theyre funny……#if i get anything ill do them maybe this weekend im kinda busy for the next day or so#but i do wanna draw them again…. just to see what they look like with how i draw now….

Arcane act 2 spoilers beneath the cut
I keep seeing posts saying things like “RIP Jayce/Viktor shippers” as well as posts from Jayce/Viktor shippers expressing how devastated they are, and listen. I get it. I do. But I didn’t truly ship it until Jayce murdered Viktor. It didn’t even cross my mind to ship it until Jayce fused him with the hexcore.
I love me a fucking tragedy.
#arcane#arcane spoilers#honestly I like them as friends as much as I like the idea of a tragic ‘what could have been’ romantic entanglement#but like I see the appeal now#let’s not analyze what that says about me 👍

theres multiple reasons i dont like s/urgeamy but one of the things ive seen people do with it that annoys me a bit is the idea that surge and kit are going to become good because surge is gonna fall in love with amy and thats gonna be her only motivation to change.. and im sorry but am i the only one who thinks it would suck so bad for such fun antagonists to instantly switch sides just because one of them was "fixed" by romance and no other reason
#that is not an appealing storyline to me at least not for something like sonic where i dont wanna see canon romance#i DO think it could be interesting if amy being nice to surge and kit is gonna somehow be the start of a redemption arc for them#but not in a romantic way . not in an instant ''well i guess i have to switch sides now because i have a crush on sonics friend'' way#and ive seen some people assume that surge and kit are actually being serious when they come to the restoration as if theyve changed#i definitely dont think this is the case i dont think theyre good guys now#at least not yet it is possible they could calm down one day. but i dont think thats whats going on right now#i dont get why people are so obsessed with shipping amy with everyone anyway#shes just a little guy she should be doing average middle school aged girl activities like playing neopets or whatever#not entering serious romantic relationships . come on#especially considering most of her friends are a bit older than her#also the constant ''haha surge stole sonics girlfriend'' posts are getting on my nerves too#like my reasons for not liking the ship + the fact that the joke has already been made a million times aside.#it just always annoys me seeing amy be reduced to sonics girlfriend when theyre not even dating

gonna be honest besties a big part of why rook/solas annoys me as a concept is that i'm literally just petty! i did not live through an actual real life decade of people criticizing solavellan for being "toxic," "manipulative," "demeaning," etc. etc. only for a new crowd to come along and act like a different ship dynamic with solas that is actually literally canonically all of those things and more? has more chemistry? and is somehow superior because there's no "false pretense?"
like i'm not your dad do whatever you want peace and love and light and honestly mad respect if you like rook/solas explicitly in a toxic mess, "they make each other worse" sort of way. that's fun! it's certainly entertaining to play around with solas as a character in that direction because he makes for an incredibly charismatic bastard. i get it! or if you just prefer rook/solas's enemies to lovers type dynamic over solavellan's "she could save him if he'd only just let her" vibe and it feels more empowering to you that's understandable! but i can't read another "i never really liked solas/got solavellan but he has soooo much more chemistry with rook" (while he's manipulating them as a pawn and literally never respects them) "than he did with lavellan/inky because he lied to them" ass take i can't do it.
#madelyn rambles#this got away from me a bit lol#i'm trying to be fair and balahnced you see#i can't be annoyed that people don't 'get' solavellan#while not making an earnest attempt to see why people like shipping solas with rook#it's not and will never be for me lol#not JUST because i'm petty#the dynamic just does not work for me romantically at all#esp compared to solavellan#but yeah honestly tbh it's primarily because i am in fact petty#also!#it's just annoying to me that any criticism of rook/solas#is just attributed to jealous solavellans#like no there's plenty of reasons it might not appeal to someone lol#it just stands out more with solavellans bc they actually like solas#and don't think he's an abusive monster#so seeing a ship dynamic that leans into that just straight up isn't appealing for most of them

realizing im kind of a weirdo about laios and marcille
#possramble#ignore this im just babbling but#the thing is that like. i don't ship laios and marcille together. their relationship is so so important to me in that laios comphets himsel#and THINKS that he might be in love with her but he isn't and that's my insane obsession#platonic soulmates for real but they're so sweet together that i fully expect them to be shipped together#like i get it. that's almost the appeal for me. if dungeon meshi were any other series there'd be an epilogue where they get married#convention dictates that they're meant to be together as the male protagonist and his beloved female deuteragonist#but dungeon meshi DOESNT do that and i love it so fucking much they're the comphet besties ever for my strange little brain#like if i ever did an arranged marriage au it would absolutely be laios and marcille having a platonic political marriage and then just#the most insane mutual pining with marcille and falin while laios and marcille struggle their way into becoming best friends#the imagery of the king and his beautiful court mage being tender to each other and everyone thinking they're in love is like catnip to me#like yeah they'd be like that and have no idea people think they should be together and the subversion makes me so obsessed#the more people ship them romantically. the more i enjoy their platonic dynamic it's like some sort of weird comphet fetishism idk#people think they're in love and im outside the window like YES... YES!!!#but also the second i see stuff of them kissing on the mouth or fucking im like oh god no i went too deep in here i gotta get out#don't wanna see that. i'll go feral over the idea of laios and marcille being arm-in-arm like king and queen but they would not fuck.#i want marcille to be his default comphet beard and dance partner/plus one at official royal events but they're not kissing.#she's there on his arm because he's scared of the other noble women tryna get him and being a baby about it#and people see them muttering to each other and laughing and generally being very sweet and think that they're dating but they're not.#she's actually covered in hickies from falin underneath her dress and is gonna get dragon dicked right after the party is over#like she's in her bedroom and falin's helping her take her ridiculous dress off while listening to her complain about politics#and falin is the person she goes home to the person she falls asleep to and wakes up with#they're a triad of utter devotion to each other but only farcille's side of the triangle is romantic#it's almost like an open secret because they're not trying to hide it at all but people assume and are surprised to find out#like people are so right about her relationship with the toudens but with the siblings' roles switched#love of her life & irreplaceable life companion. does anyone get it#anyway. i don't know what's wrong with me#it bothers me that they're not the undisputed most popular het ship for marcille on ao3#it's unnatural. marcille being paired with any other man should be a fringe case.

I don't really consider myself objectum because I mostly prefer people and I'm not dating an object nor do I really want to. However I will say that IMO the most attractive objects are houses, white marble statues, and old black arcade cabinets
#personal#suggestive text#most the object stuff on tumblr just seems to be home computer stuff and that doesn't really appeal to me but cool yknow#(or like plushies)#tech has a lot of guts and working parts and often has parts that can move so it makes sense it's popular as an objectum thing to me#well arcade cabinets count as tech too. but i never see it#i do think it's kind of funny that since objectum had its popularity phase u see a lot of people doing the ''objects sexy'' thing here#and then they aren't. actually into objects. they just thought it was purely metaphorical#and then they get surprised when they learn there's people who are actually sexually/romantically attracted to objects...#(man i understand being for real about liking objects when i look at those all-black arcade cabinets)#hehe okay i'll stop talking now

Oh...He made a pun..👉👈 Maybe things can work out between us
#pan gushes#Normally I'm not this stupidly insecure about a crush (Maybe it's just bad timing when I haven't been the best mentally)#But I've been so worried that I'm not his type and that we wouldn't be compatible#but hearing him make a pun👉👈 Guess we have a similar sense of humor then. Maybe my s/i can make him laugh then#I still haven't figured out the details of my s/i for this game-#I was thinking about them and Y.agami being coworkers before he became a detective but eeeeh...Idk that one hasn't convinced me#I don't think they'd know K.aito since I'm not a fan of making my s/is part of the Yakuza#(In the case of my main Yakuza s/i- They work a regular job and just so happen to kiss men who are involved in the Yakuza)#Another idea I had was that they're a hacker who's connected to Tsukumo in some way#But I'm also interested in the idea of making them a thief like Sugiura- The could even be part of the same group#←That last one was 100% thought up bc Panchi likes the idea of Y.agami chasing them down bc they stole something#And him managing to catch up and pinning them to a wall or something#Oh! Right! The last idea is that they're connected to Higashi in some way but idk enough about him to say much else#And that's all my ideas!#I like developing at least one Non-romantic relationship with my s/i before the romantic one#Rn the Thief one is most appealing... I'm not immune to thieves (kisses a few thieves + has multiple thief s/is)#plus I think Panchi seeing S.ugiura as a little brother would be cute!#Idk we'll see! I gotta see more of the plot first#f/o: ⚖️

recently realized that the reason i’m so attached to angst and queerbait is because that longing is the closest thing i can feel to romantic attraction. romantic fluff doesn’t mean anything to me (if anything it makes me actively uncomfortable) and cutting a story off before it gets to that point is my way of.. living vicariously through the characters, i guess. grief is the closest i can get to heartache.
#there’s joy in being aromantic obviously#but i haven’t fully come to terms w that part of myself yet i think#and it’s sad#it’s sad not understanding the feeling of butterflies when you look at someone and the euphoria or a first kiss#but i just. don’t. feel that#and angst is really the only way i can connect to fandoms#that are primarily shipping-focused#because i just don’t see the appeal of romance without another thematic element woven in#which is why i like hannibal and merlin and similar shows#because with hannibal there’s the added element of understanding and intimacy that doesn’t come with a romantic relationship#and the obvious moral dilemma#and the romance in merlin is doomed and unconsummated and so tightly woven with destiny that it’s impossible to discern the two#idk. i’m tired#will rambles#aro vent#aromantic
