#love those who ship what you DON’T ship

[jikooklove9795]

With the news just of JKs series, which seems to be the film split from the trailer, just with extras, am I wrong to pray that we don’t get a documentary for Muse?

I just have this really bad feeling that Jimin would say something more unhinged than he did during the Bangtan bombs we got and the interviews with p dogg, when he said he couldn’t remember the last time he had a crush, that he was alone, and he couldn’t relate to the love songs. That telling the producers what he wanted for Who was like them reading his diary, basically that whole segment is sus, and technically debunked Jikook. I can imagine him saying he’s never been in love etc. I just know he would do that. We’ve got Jimin choosing Who, about not having love, and JK chooses all songs about being with the one you love, so I wasn’t worried about him saying anything, just Jimin.

I am wrong to feel this way? I pray every night for it not to happen

Hi Anon!

First I need to tell you this before I go further on explaining why MUSE, the album as a whole does nothing to debunk Jikook:

As much as I love celebrating Jikook's bond and relationship I'm not someone who has any kind of expectations from both Jimin and Jungkook. I won't demand them to behave a certain way so that I get the confirmation my ship needs. Having such kind of expectations is not ony wrong but also unfair to them.

Anon, I hope I don't sound condescending which is not my intention at all. I'm just saying this in your best interest. I hope you'll take it in the right spirit.

Now I'll share my views on why MUSE does not debunk Jikook.

MUSE is a conceptual album as opposed to FACE which was autobiographical. As stated by Jimin and the producers they were following a storyline for MUSE. Also, when it came to MUSE Jimin had so much to share, ideas to give and discuss while for FACE we didnt get that, did we? Since FACE was about his own life and the struggles he went through, he was hesitant and holding back not letting us know much about it. Which was not surprising knowing how serious he is about his personal life.

And something which I think you're forgetting is that Jimin is an artist. An artist who will experiment with his work and explore diverse genres in order to bring to the table different stories for the fans. Stories which fans also can relate to. Stories which aren't about his personal life and experiences. His work is not always going to be solely focused on his personal life. So, try to separate his work life from his personal life.

Also, taking into consideration his situation (his country, the industry he works in) its highly unlikely for him to say "Hey! Jungkook is my bf. We have been in love for a long time now". That's not gonna happen anytime in the near future. So, what we will be getting instead is "I'm single for as long as I can remember. I don't even know how having a crush feels like".

This is the exact reason why "Letter" gets passed off as a fan song in the general fandom. Cause Jimin is not in a position to say "Letter" is for Jungkook. That's a sad reality. But its for their own safety and well being. Which provides them a cover, a protection. The same cover cause of which they were able to enlist together. Which in my opinion is the most important for them, I mean being able to stay together rather than risk everything and expose themselves.

However Jimin did provide a few hints here and there for those who are willing to listen.

And an even BIGGER HINT with this one here:

The billboard falling at the same time Jimin goes "Who's my heart waiting for". Someone whose facial structure is not that of a woman but of a man. A man with doe eyes. A man who stole his heart all those years ago. A man with whom he's happy and very obviously in love.

Have a nice day Anon!

Ahem…

This has been stewing for a minute, but I can’t hold back my rant.

Fic authors write because they LOVE their ships. They write for themselves, they write because they want to share with their audience.

But they owe you nothing.

I’ve lost count of how many writers who I know who have burnt out from fandom, who’ve deleted accounts and walked away. I know writers who’ve switched ships or lost their mojo in a fandom.

And that’s fine. Authors are human.

Every writer I know has a life outside of their fic, they are not at your beck and call.

Do you want content? Guess what? You can write it yourself. Or find someone who does commission work and PAY them to write what you want. (It’s worth it 😉) Want a completed product? Reach out to the author and ask if you can finish their fic. You’d be surprised at the response. Some authors love to collaborate.

Fandom is full of amazing writers who feel true pressure from their audience. They see minimal interaction, no comments, no reblogs. They get discouraged. But they keep going because they love their ships.

No interaction = no fic.

Lousy comments = no fic.

Be adult, be civil. Don’t be entitled or snarky.

I am thankful for content creators, I’ve made some great friendships. Several of you have kicked my butt into posting my own stuff.

Don’t be a jerk. If you want a finished product, Amazon, B&N, Kindle Unlimited, and your brick and mortar bookstore are full of great books.

LOA Shiptober Day 4: How They Met

October content month was ambitious..

This one took me. Shockingly long. Whoops! I’ll probably end up jumping around the prompt list and it might extend into November 😋

I’ll try to do day 31 on the actual date of Halloween though 🫡

[everlusts]

cannot believe i have to make this a point in the good year of 2024 but no i don’t think saurondriel represents affectionate, pure love. i think it’s toxic and all consuming and depraved and obsession and lust and hatred and baring the deepest parts of themselves to each other and yearning and lodged into their heart through sheer intensity

[fumifooms]

I think you made me start shipping Marchil

Your posts got me thinking about their dynamic then I wrote a fic that was supposed to be platonic but midway through I realized it could actually be interpreted as romantic too and now I'm just sad about how little time they'll have together

First of all, you have a lovely icon, second, I’m so honored… I finally read Not a bad way to go and it was soo so good like. My god!!! Pre-canon is underused and you did so many interesting things with it.

It sounded like a cruel joke, that the one who needed her concern the most was also the one least interested in it.

^^^ go read it go read it

Chilchuck was drunk enough that he needed to hold onto the walls not to fall, but apparently still sober enough to remember emotional vulnerability was his worst enemy, as he made sure to avert her eyes and said: “Namari made me come talk to you ” to make it clear he wasn't being nice voluntarily.

Yeah.

“Of course I'm scared of dying.” He scoffed. Did she really think so little of him? “But if I could choose, I would want to die doing something I love, like drinking. Or maybe fucking,”

Maybe you wish you didn’t know but my new favorite HC because of this is that Chil dies yes prematurely not of liver failure though but during coitus. Especially if marchil, the thought of him busting a nut and his heart giving out makes me laugh so hard. My god. Lmao. Oh god. Lmfao. Worst day of her life

Marcille knew Chilchuck wasn't a kid, but she often struggled to take him seriously as an adult because he was just so adorable and small. In this moment, however, she saw them exactly for what they were, even if it was just a glimpse. A sheltered, naive little girl trying to tell a tired, much more experienced man how to live the rest of his life.

Standing ovation

She tried to find an explanation to give him, but she couldn't even find one for herself. Why would she miss him? He was just Chilchuck, her coworker, Chilchuck who was cold, aloof, sometimes crass, evasive, and even outright mean. He who was level headed, reliable, trustworthy, perceptive and clever. He who had the least time left, even in a best case scenario. “I guess that despite your best efforts, there's still a lot to like about you.”

This fic goes so hard, standing ovation pt 2

“I just think it's better if we don't get too close. Don't you agree?” “I… maybe” she said, uncertain as he didn't know how to feel about that. Caring about people would only hurt her in the wrong run, she knew that, but unfortunately she couldn't help it.

I looove how they can be read to be similar on this aspect. My hand clenching around my phone as I rear up to rant about Marcille and the way she does keep people at an arm’s length subconsciously again my god my goood. Obsessed with this obsessed with this, underused for marchil. Terrified of loss through death vs rejection duo I love youuu

Brilliant ending I’m in shambles. I’m not gonna spoil it

You get marchil so much you truly do. The way they mesh, the way their views on mortality clash and both soothe & bruise… He doesn’t have much time left even in best case scenario (which Mr I won’t eat well I’ll drink and smoke a lot I’ll stress all day every day is determined to not make happen) which makes it all the more meaningful for Marcille’s arc when she learns from him to finally enjoy the present moments… It’ll only be a fraction of her life, but to him he’s giving her the rest of his life. What are some decades of love worth? Worth it, surely, if nothing else

People jumping ship cause of the new masks is very ahhhh. Telling. Tbh.

[bokutoasavillain]

I fear this may be too controversial but i really don’t get the hate on junlian when so many people ship xuexiao? Like I know they’re not exactly the same but it’s fascinating to me how one fucked up ship is so popular while the other is so incredibly hated?? Like they both have incredibly complex relationships in canon and both have one character who felt wronged by the other and then went on to force them to do things that went against their morals while also being really close to them and outwardly caring for them. Do you get what I mean? Xue Yang and Jun Wu both did these things yet Xue Yang is loved for the complex and fascinating character that he is but Jun Wu is reduced to a stupid jerk and people hate him. Maybe it’s the difference between the fandoms but I don’t think that’s the only reason. Idk I’m not telling people who they can and cannot like but I do think the difference is weird

[suoulfillem]

what’s crazy to me is i remember nothing about the last season of house besides the last episode where house fakes his death to avoid going to prison so he can be with wilson in the few months he has left to live before dying of cancer and they travel off into the sunset on motorbikes together. peak romance

[mars-ipan]

danganronpa is so fucking crazy bc it’s like “hi. this is a game series with a fucking amazing premise. unfortunately the writing sucks and is bad and you will spend half the time going ‘eugh why did they write that’ but you will play the whole thing anyways and get attached to your favorite characters and cry when they inevitably die. also it is filled with romance subplots that will stay in your brain forever” HUH??????

[batwynn]

I just had this intense dream that I made the choice to draw only a specific (kind of a dead fandom) ship because it made me so happy to draw and it was self care and I woke up like:

I never even liked that ship when it was popular what the actual fuck, brain?? 😭

[unboundbnha]

I’m writing a Jason Todd fic that has everything I want. The foundation of the fic is love: it’s Bruce’s love for his long-lost son. But it’s love that’s gone wrong. It’s love, but it’s love for someone who’s gone (or never existed in the first place). It’s Bruce’s fear — of losing the people he loves, of losing what makes him feel like he’s making the right choices, of feeling completely lost, because admitting that he’s making a mistake, making MANY mistakes, well. That means he’s failed. He can’t fail. Not in this. Not again.

This fic is about love: one person begging the other to see them, to love them as they are, to help them in the way they need. The other person is suffocating the first because they love them. They love them so much and just want them to be happy, but happiness to them has a certain look. Happiness can only be achieved in the right way. It’s horrible and painful and frightening and sad. It’s a story about love. It’s a horror. It’s a ghost story. Don’t you see? In the end, it’s all about love. And how sometimes the people who love us are the ones who kill us.

Tagged by @smolbeandrabbles​ - it’s ALSO been a while since I’ve done a tag game <tips hat 👒 > so thank you ☺️

Favourite Color: Blue, specifically ultramarine. I’ve got some watercolor ink pencils and the shade I’m using now is gorgeous.

Currently Reading: i just finished re-reading “the Exorcist,” I had listened to the audiobook, wasn’t sure if the audiobook was abridged, went by to my copy, and yep: abridged. This week, I also finished “Big” by Lionel Shriver and started “the Wager” by Gregory Grann and am going to start re-reading the “Silo” series because I see AppleTV has done an adaptation.

Last Song: Bittersweet Symphony- The Verve- There’s been lots of change this year, I’ve made myself a reflection playlist to help with the feels™️. Last songs related to fic were “Rush” by Depeche Mode and “Who by Fire” by PJ Harvey (covering Leonard Cohen, thank you “Bad Sisters”)

Last Movie: Full movie? “Captain Marvel”. But I watch that almost weekly. Last “new” movie watched was “A Knock at the Cabin” and I was happy with the adaptation. Someday I’m going to write a Dave Bautista fic, but I haven’t found the right character.

Last Series: Seeing Thrawn played by an IRL actor has sent me back to “the Mandolorian” Prior to seeing the clips from SWCE, I hadn’t had a hook into the show. But I’ve been reading about Thrawn since…yeah, I’m old…I honestly think that the continuity of keeping Lars Mikkelsen is one of the better ideas that the SW Universe has had in a while. Also, I finished “Poker Face” yesterday and it was amazing!!

Sweet, Savoury or Spicy: These days, it’s savory.

Craving: In January, I was in the hospital and have been eating mostly bland food since. My go-to these days is a quinoa blend with butternut squash and chia. Right now, I’m craving a vanilla bean skyr and’ll probably have one after I finish this post.

Tea or Coffee: Coffee, less these days (see last paragraph). Lots of blackberry flavored seltzer water too.

Currently Working On: I’m still in my Ben Mendelsohn era. My current fic is an “Outsider/Midnight Mass” crossover. As there has been an uptick in Ørson Krenn.ic fic on my dash, I’m am heavily editing my Krenn.ic/Kary series with the plan <hides head> to post it here. AND trailers for “Secret Invasion” are poking my dreams for Sam and Keller. But if I post anything, I will be standing on the shoulders of *giants*. You know who you are 🥰😉

Tagging @artemiseamoon and anyone else on my dash who cares to play along.
