Inspired by a post I can’t find rn but if you made a similiar post calling Meryl and Vash girlfriends just know you inspired this travesty

so it seems the poppy war has become my absolute favorite series so ofc i'm losing my mind comparing every scene with my other favorite series (red queen) and making an unfathomable amount of headcanons

rewatching s3 and I am obsessed with morgana and merlin’s constant bitchy little side-eyeing

[royalsea-art]

so I picked up again the old campaign I used to DM for! Currently having adventures in a weird eldritch demiplane yayy

Val (tiefling wizard) belongs to my friend Ezra, and Iulia (Big human girl) belongs to @inkeyjay . Stath (human guy) is a dmpc they dragged along against his will

in my rewrite nisha gets detained by the raiders post-BL2 and locked up on sanctuary. hammerlock takes the chance to question her abt her time on elpis with aurelia.

My fave thing about the WxS dynamic is that emu/rui/miku are always like tsukasaaaa it’s 3pm it’s time to make you do incredibly dangerous and life threatening stunts!!! & tsukasa is just like ok 😔 into the cannon I go 😔 while nene (arguably the most normal and sane person in WxS who could easily put a stop to this) is like yeah see you later idiot. Bye. (Not looking up from whatever game she’s playing)

[deathdestructiondoom]

Oh yeah i forgot the main ships

Everyone is poly (yes even VBS) except MMJ and WxS cuz i see Airi and Shizuku as Minori's and Haruka's older sisters and it feels weird to ship them all together.

And same thing can be said for Tsukasa and Rui to Emu.

However Rui used to date Nene before they realized they arent straight/j

[brackle]

AHHHHHthis is so CUTE!!!!1!!!! THEY are SO CUTEEE

I love both of these nerds so much, they are unhinged sillies. I feel like they have a love/hate friendship.

[hauntingblue]

Watching a 1998 one piece ova.... looks like it's the first ever released episode and it's not too far off.... either way old style I miss you

[td-brick]

I love platonic jock but the way people portray them is so boring oh my god 💔💔💔😓😓 Like truly they could have such an interesting dynamic as friends but people are just like "mlm wlw solidarity/hostility loll!!" YOU'RE BORING. YOU SUCK AT CHARACTERIZATION. TRY AGAIN!!!! And it's the same with aleheather too like in both these cases I ship them so maybe I sound bitter but I promise I'm not it's just. I wish people actually did interesting things with their friendships. And the same could go for shipping them romantically too, actually, but that's a whole other thing

i get really tired of the vbs fanon of "oh haha wlw mlm hostility" "oh an and akito HATE each other and fight all the time" and just only focus on the vivids and the bad dogs INDIVIDUALLY when the whole point of vbs' story is that none of them could do it alone. they all need each other. and sure, in the vbs initial story the vivids and the bad dogs do have a hostile relationship, but that's before. they're a team now, and they all work to support each other, again, none of them can do it alone.

sure, an and akito banter with each other, but it's not actually malicious. they do genuinely trust and value each other. im reading the "find a way out" event story right now and akito is constantly thinking of the other three, not just toya, and how the four of them are all constantly there for each other and have helped each other improve beyond what any of them could do alone. the main theme of this event story is to show akito's growth-- how far he's come between then and now, how much allowing himself to rely on others has helped.

the point is, is that they're all friends, and they all love and trust and rely on each other. that's why it always feels so shallow when people only focus on toya/akito and an/kohane. shipping majorly contributes to this, how people only like to consider the Fun Gay Ships at the expense of the canon deep relationships these characters have with each other. and then on top of that there are fans who are hostile to those who ship either of the girls with either of the guys, which, since the het ships, in the fandom, are generally viewed as "worse" or "erasure" or what have you, it just goes to further solidify the "divide" between the vivids and the bad dogs in the general fandom consciousness. and it's SOOOO FRUSTRATING.

VBS ARE ALL FRIENDS OKAY. THEY TRUST EACH OTHER AND RELY ON EACH OTHER AND WORK HARD TO ACHIEVE THEIR COLLECTIVE DREAM. they could never do it alone and they could never do it if they didn't trust each other. toya writing his own song. vbs going camping for inspiration. vbs putting on events. collaborating with other groups. practicing. exercising. shopping. hanging out. celebrating holidays and each other's birthdays. an and akito and toya riding the train to pick up kohane. all of the event stories and card side stories are all about how much time they spend together and how much each of them want to improve for each other. they love each other. vbs love each other and im tired of popular fanon pretending they don't.

[mymarifae]

i come back to this topic like every month i feel like but the longer i sit with it and the more vbs events that come out the more i just do not fucking understand where the "vbs is wlw/mlm hostility!!!!!!!1!11" idea came from and why it's still the most popular interpretation of the group's dynamics. i mean i do understand - it's people accepting fanon as canon before they engage with the canon material and misinterpreting canon on purpose to maintain the fanon. but like

?????? where did things like "akito is sick of how gay an is for kohane" (and vice versa - "an hates seeing akito and toya be gay") come from . because this has no basis. neither of them have ever shown to get irritated over the other's love for their partners...? more often than not they don't even react. an has teased akito very lightly maybe a whole three times. and not in a "ew gross" kinda way. more like "awwww how cute" and then he explodes and dies. and i can only recall One instance of him teasing her... (that veryyyyy early area convo that's like "you know you're always talking about kohane" and then her retort shut him up real quick and he never brought it up again. probably because he learned then and there that it'd be hypocritical 😭) their bonds with their partners are incredibly special and it's not a thing they go poking fun at because it'd be a dick move

idk. vbs can just be friends, yknow. no need to go slapping any "hostility" onto it. they can like each other. an and akito don't have to borderline/not-so-borderline hate each other. hello? it's so dark in here
