#not a ship post but idc if you interpret it as one

[little-dreamz]

small shoto and cg shoji. i can not stop imagining how absolutely adorable this pairing is and i have seen absolutely nobody talking abt it.

♡shoji being tall enough and strong enough 2 make todo feel actually small????

♡shoji canonically uses his arms as protection for others by enclosing them in there, do you know how perfect that would be for an overwhelmed shoto????

♡shoji also canonically is just extremely caring and does a bunch of small things for everyone that i think should be taken into account more

♡he would absolutely be the type to look at small todo like hes the tiniest thing in the world

♡like shoji would break him if he tapped to hard

♡todoroki crying and shoji immediately panicking

♡bro has never used so many arms to grab so many things in so little time before

♡i cant get over them, they are everything

long story short: small shoto big shoji

*shakes this post like a bag of catnip* pspsps, come get your text posts you little freaks

[lucyskywalker]

I’m actually very curious to know why you don’t like jonsa! my reasons for example are: their fandom is acting way too insane for a ship that never happened and won’t ever happen; kit harington is unfortunately ugly. what are yours?

There are so many reasons that I dont even know how to begin with.

Alright. Let's go.

1st reason: It is only solely based on the show, and I really mean that. When you get to read metas and posts surrounding the ship, u realize these people never opened the books, while traying to pretend they did. I'm not being entitled. It is just obvious with what they write. Everything is taken out of contest. Especially surrounding Jon's pov and his lack of relationship with Sansa.

+ I despise the show. The only good thing about D&D's creations were the Dragons CGI and the dothraki and valyrian language, and it ends there. Out of it, everything sucks. They have rewrote all the female character in such a sexist and ridiculous way that I can't even start explaining for you.

2nd. I ship jonrya. Ik it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do. And no. Idc if they become canon or not. I like the concept. I love their relationship. And I love what they can become. Now why the fact I ship Jonrya actually matters? Well, specially after season 7, a lot of Jonsa fans started taking things from Jon PIV that were about his love for Arya, and make it be about Sansa, with ridiculous excuses for their takes. The most commun and easy example being "What do you know of my heart, priestess? What do you know of my sister?" When Jon asks Melissandre, he is referring to Arya. And no. It is not a different interpretation. It is about Arya he is talking about. Another one was "Would you bed your sister?" And Again Jon thinks about Arya, but when you read Jonsa's metas; they say he is thinking about Sansa. Another common Jonsa take is that Jon died for his men in the books, or for Sansa, when again, this is not the case. He died for Arya. And that is explicit on the text with no room for other interpretation. No wonder why the last thing he tought was about her.

Jonsas straigh up lie about what happens in the books to support their takes, or they just read metas here on tumblr and believe it. Idk and neither do I wish to know.

Not only that. They started behaving as they had a moral high ground over jonerys and jonryas... when they don't, it is still incestuos and still problematic to modern standards - not only that, they behave entitled to this day, and attack Jonrya shippers and Jonerys shippers in a real coward way.

Many, many times, I received anon hate telling me to *kms*, slit my wrists. Someone even wished for me to get raped over a fictional ship.

My disdain over the ship is not only with the ship itself, hence taking a lot of Jon's dynamic and bound with Arya to give it to Sansa, which is really important in both of their stories and arc, but mostly about the fandom, and how I was affected by it. If it was treated only like a crackship (what book wise, actually is), as my beloved hitsukarin from bleach, I would have no problem with it.

But the community is far one of the most toxic ones I have ever seen or been in contact with. Actually, dealing with them heavily impacted my mental health.

3rd. I really didnt like Sansa way before dealing with the fandom. Since my favorite is Arya, the way Sansa treated her never vibed with me. (And no. It isn't normal sibling behavior. I am an older sister. I would never do half of the things Sansa have done, not even on 11). After book 1, I felt pity for her, but she still was the last interesting character for me, even if her Vale story was.... I guess, more berable.

After getting into the fandom, tho, Jonsas and Stansas ruined Sansa for me in every possible way as well to the point I read her chapters and I won't feel any kind of enjoyment in her journey or her character. She is my least liked character, not because "she is the most horrible person in the books" (she is not. She is far from being that. ) but because her fans made me feel terribly bitter about her. It is not logical or fair, but again, I'm not trying to be.

[xxmisukii]

Oh boy…. being a Jayvik shipper is hard (especially on twitter)

I can understand if people see them as platonic, romantic,… but brothers? When I and my sister heard that ppl see them as brothers, we looked at each other with disgust (we’re not the only one). And everytime I see post on tik tok or twitter that is aimed for shippers, there is ALWAYS at least one comment that says “oh but they’re like brothers” (if u see them like that, then ok it’s your opinion idc, but if you proceed to argue about it NON STOP with the shippers, calling them stupid and delusional, then something’s wrong with you, if you can’t even respect someone’s opinion)

AND they always use these same arguments whenever they can:

Argument numero uno: “but Jayce said he’s like his brother”

like yeah we get it, he said it, but what was the last time he called him that ? In season 1.

He stopped calling him that after.

(And it happens in real life too, you can change how you see someone after some time)

Number 2 “but writters said they aren’t canon”

when did they said that? (I’m genuinely asking)

and so what? it’s not illegal to ship characters even when the creators says it’s not canon. go argue about it with some animators, music creators, voice actors,… because they ship it too (btw same thing happened with Luca)

Also did they forgot about concept of “shipping”?? it doesn’t matter if they end up together or not. Ppl shipped Elsa and Jack Frost, FFS

If Jayvik was heterosexual pair, no one would fvcking deny it, everyone would say that they’re romantic and more than friends (I know this argument is used a lot, but it’s the reality)

Argument number 3: “Men nowadays can’t be just friends”

Yeah sure, but girls and boys always have to be something more than friends, right?

(The homophobia is loud)

The reason why many ppl ship it, is because they have good chemistry, dynamic, lore, etc. and not because they’re both dudes

If the creators want them to be just a friends, then they should interpret in the show more

If you can’t live with the fact that ppl ship two male characters, then don’t interact, easy

(Anyway this is all, sorry about this long rant, but I’m tired hearing the same things EVERY.DAMN.TIME😀 these ppl make me feel like shi sometimes)

[thecoolerliauditore]

(Original long ask anon here) funny enough I really like snowbugs too lol. It’s my favourite little crack ship that I know it’s not serious in the slightest or would have a lot to build off of. But hey it’s not the only ship like that, we got Lizzie x Etho purely for their connection to Joel.

But I digress. Thank you for explaining the Jimmy part more, I understand your perspective much better now. Yeah it would be very hard to write Jimmy as toxic in third life without it becoming very out of character, but that’s why I like the challenge. And from reading fanfics the life series being ooc is way too common.

I have read so many rancher fics where they change a scene to fit their narrative. A popular one being Jimmy getting stuck in a hole by the divorce quadrant. Tango came along, laughed along against Jimmy “you can get out of there little guy” and took a bit to final help Jimmy get out. It was all fun and games but nearly every rancher fic that shows that scene turns Jimmy into a damsel in distress and Tango as his angry hero.

I would have to agree that a post break up would work best, probably also why I like snowbugs is that we get double post break ups lmao.

And I. ☝️don't like it when ranchers or any other ships for that matter are portrayed as extremely ooc either. Fics are probably the medium in which the most ooc stuff occurs, just as a consequence of the writer having to fill in gaps (and like you said ppl find it fun/challenging to write extreme ooc) hence why I don't really. read all that many lmao (I do like AU fics for the most part though they're fun) Idc what other people do and I'm glad they're having fun, it's just not for me.

That being said I don't really agree with that take on the Jimmy getting buried scene. It's all "fun and games" because it's fun and games for us and the CCs, but I don't see why you can't interpret this scene as more distressing.

Like, they are yelling over eachother, Tango is telling them to stop and Jimmy is shouting for help. Martyn (or Scott? I'm not entirely sure but it was one of those two) even shot Jimmy off a bridge earlier, nearly killing him, so I can totally see him seeing them as legitimately dangerous in this scene.

I do agree that Tango is far from being a hero here (especially since he gets pushed down the hole too lmao ranchers moment). People love wish fulfillment 🤷‍♂️

It's an interesting way to approach what we could consider "OOC" I suppose because if you're going to approach the series in a character-focused way there's always going to be some amount of omitting interactions and making things more serious than they really are. i.e. ignoring the conversations about youtube and such. But again yeah the cherry-picking of "this scene where scott is nice is Serious" and "this scene where scott is not nice is Fun and Games" drives me insane.

hey can i ask your opinions on thrushpelt? just anything you wanna say about him :)

yea i like thrushpelt!! ive admittedly grown kind a bit of sick of some of the fandom's "soft boi who is sooo nice and perfect" characters lately (fernsong, alderheart, gray wing etc) but it hasn't really applied to thrushpelt at all i think he's a real one. i enjoy the tragedy of him viewing the kids as his own and then losing them while being unaware they are still alive in another clan (until the point of people demonising bluestar for it anyways. yeah that was fucked up of her and that's what makes it interesting. can't hate her for it personally) and also the headcanon/interpretation i've seen around where he DOES figure it out and keeps up the secret regardless. oughh. i know they're inevitably out there but im also glad i don't really see people ever acting like bluestar Owed thrushpelt romantic reciprocation because that's a miserable goddamn mindset i've seen both within the warrior cats fandom (dovewing in regards to bumblestripe, or pre-TBC squilf and ashfur) and in numerous other fandoms (listen idc that it's a silly cutscene in a children's game if i see someone post that take about the super mario odyssey ending one more time im going to get violent!!) i don't really like them as a romantic reciprocated ship all that much for this reason as i feel like it undercuts that idea of healthy rejection they're associated with. i do think people give him wayyy too much credit for responding Not Badly to rejection tho. how low is this goddam bar LOL. i like the idea of them staying friends, despite the missing kit thing. also i like bird prefixes which is always bonus points unless you're crowfeather.

yk, I was goaded into reading Self-Cest for the Danny Phantom fandom (it was a good read and I stalked the author’s entire dischoreography afterward) but now I’m wondering how that would go for Han Sooyoung and her avatars. Specifically 1863rd Han Sooyoung.

How would they get over the dispute over who the true hsy is? Would they conclude that they’re just two different people because the 1963rd was only possessing the other hsy to write? Would they be able to differentiate? Questions questions questions

The fic was by Dream_Trance if ur curious

'goaded' I like that word. I too have goaded people into reading selfcest content I think.

I'm guessing you read my recent Han Sooyoung meta where I talk about how I think their split happened and then sent this ask. You got me absolutely right in that case, there IS a secret selfcest version of that post I didn't include because of woke (well, actually because I want people to focus on the theory lol and weird selfcest shipping distracts from that).

The thing orv does with the alt universe selves that is sooo interesting to me is all of them, and I do mean all, have these twisted and complicated feeling about their other selves. And that's all canon, all I do is tint those feelings in a slightly more romantic direction. for fun. (despite all appearances I'm secretly a canon purist. no, not really. but imagine if I was)

So, what is Han Sooyoung's whole deal?

From what we see in orv, their whole dynamic is basically.... 1863 is cool smart badass powerful protagonist-like and 3rd is the 'rip-off' constantly trying to catch up to her awesomeness / keep up / 'plagirizing' her. This happens a lot, starting from when Han Sooyoung is 13 years old and accidentally plagirises herself for the 1st time.

1863 writes Ways of Survival? 3rd gets vague dream-memories and writes SSSSS grade infinite regressor.

1863 becomes a constellation named Architect of the False Last Act? guess what 3rd does.

See how the narration always mentions 'btw 1863 did this first' - I'm not making this up. 3rd even plagiarizes 1863's lost memories into existence again !!

So if there is one 'true' Han Sooyoung...it is pretty clear who that would be. But crucially, 1863 does not mind at all being ripped off and isn't bitter about it. (unlike sp, who is very bitter at first.)

When Kim Dokja comes to her like 'someone plagiarized your novel!!1!!1!' han sooyoung says lol idc because she knows its just 'daytime ego'/3rd.

Even during the scenarios, 1863 is constantly helping her out because she sees 3rd as a bit of an idiot who does not know anything (very sp style) so OBVIOUSLY she needs to come along and save her while pretending its a huge hassle and she totally doesn't want to. (very 'this will be the last time i help you' for spyjh).

Like, for example, way before 3rd gets Predictive Plagiarism, 1863 is giving cryptic dream hints to help her, and when that doesn't work just straight up temporarily passing on the skill.

but she's totally doing it for fun and because she likes to throw a wrench in others plans haha and not because she cares or anything. totally.

And ALSO let's just talk about this epilouge moment that drives me crazy. 3rd is doubting herself and crumbling under the pressure so 1863 emerges from their subconscious to help her one last time and says LET ME DO IT. Aargh!!!

selfcest yuri...

So yeah, this is a brief look on how I interpret the 3rd/1863rd relationship (Han Sooyoung version.) I have more thoughts on them during the epilouge specifically and the avatar skill but. different post.

hi! do you ever feel like the bingqiu fandom is binghe biased? like a lot of the time its giving.. “wow binghe is our little precious bun who deserves the world and more! ..oh and stinky neet loser sqq is so blessed to have him lul” it feels unfair towards sqq :( it makes me sad hes no ones fave but thats okay like whatever right? but even when its bingqiu hes treated like an afterthought. like we have binghe fans criticising sqq for not doing more, sj fans are frankly delusional, sqh fans think hes “too mean” to their precious hamster, liushen fans only like him bc hes a good hole/dick for lqg (obligatory “not all men” lol) idk i only follow a handful of svsss twt accs because no one seems to like him, he feels either tolerated or treated as a gag character lol 🥹

i just dislike a lot of fanon bingqiu i think? i read all the books before hopping on twitter and i see some absolute rancid takes on there like the woobification of Shaun(tm) qinghua and jiumei.. which is easy enough to avoid tbf so whatever floats their boat idc. but when i follow bingqiu accs, it feels like OC x OC rather than ~bingqiu~ if that makes sense? like i LOVE the manipulative crybaby domtop x flustered thin face subby pillow princess they have going on!! and fanon bingqiu is just.. not it? and obv id never send hate or anything (i just block and keep it moving) but it makes it kinda sucky when the fandom is already teeny tiny and a large chunk of the fandom isnt what i envisioned/expected i guess which is so odd! when they essentially erase canon!! if it’s like some queerbaity ship or whatever, people can characterise them however they want but its like CANON how they act/are in bed/etc and its all taken away!!! idk im probably just whining sorry 😭

(i included all my thoughts here sorry for the spam!!)

hey, thanks for stopping by!! I definitely know what you mean with regards to SQQ, but I will assure you that there are very much still plenty of dedicated "sqq mains" out there. My sphere of influence on twitter is heavily biased toward people for whom sqq is their favourite character, so maybe I'm not getting a representative sample of the fandom overall, but he's definitely a very well loved character and has more than his fair share of people who do him justice in their writing and for whom he's their primary blorbo!! I remember posting this on reddit a while back and more than half of the responses (though admittedly a small sample size) had him as their fave. So, I don't think he's without appreciation!

But with that said, I do get where you’re coming from. I’m not gonna talk about readers who take his actions in bad faith and actively dislike him (HOW??), but as you’ve said, even among people who do like him, we don’t always understand him as well as we could. Most fans do get on some level that he’s an unreliable narrator, but it’s still very common for people to take him at face value and completely miss his depth. He’s a funny little guy with amusing narration, but he’s also kind and selfless, and he’s also smart and witty, and obnoxious and annoying, and frankly pretty insensitive, and deeply, deeply traumatised—and a million other things! He has layers.

I think all popular characters in fandom will inevitably start getting boiled down to a few key traits. And as somebody who’s been writing fic for 15 years, it’s really hard not to let your own biases colour your portrayal? I absolutely do it with SQQ!! I focus on his kinder, warmer aspects and downplay his flaws, I’ll readily admit that. We all get drawn to a favourite character for a certain trait, and that trait becomes the grit around which our interpretations form. If you’re somebody that likes silly characters, you’re going to write SQQ and dial his silliness up to eleven. If you like kind characters, you’ll write SQQ with emphasis on his kindness. None of these traits are OOC in and of themselves, but if you start to only read fanfic and don’t revisit the source material, you can get lost in what’s popular and forget all the depth that actually made them interesting in the first place. And once you’ve grown attached to a particular version of the characters in your head, it can be really hard to let go of it. I don’t really know where I’m going with this, but I'll add that I think protagonists are just particularly prone to this happening because they're usually the one the audience relates to most.

Idk if any of that really addresses the stuff you were talking about. You mentioned dom top Binghe/pillow princess sqq and to be honest I’m kind of reluctant to talk about this in depth because I’ve received negative comments in the past for supposedly being anti-bottom Binghe, when all I’ve ever said on this matter is that I think it’s a bit weird to insist that “I’m scared of hurting you so I might as well let you do it” is proof that Binghe is canonically a bottom. The fact that someone found that statement so threatening to their view of the characters that they would go to my ao3 page, click on the first fic they saw that happened to feature bottom SQQ and leave their holier-than-thou anonymous opinion there is just bizarre to me.

To be honest tho, it tends to be Binghe characterisation that puts me off moreso than Shen Qingqiu. The only SQQ characterisation that truly bothers me is when people write him as willing to hurt Binghe, or willing to do anything with underage Binghe, but there is a LOT of Binghe stuff that I’m sensitive too. Idk if you read this thread of mine but like, even my friends whom I love make “Binghe stalking/imprisoning/"atticwifing" SQQ” jokes and these bother me way more than any random stranger saying SQQ would get off on spanking Binghe.

And like, it’s kind of hard because objectively, Binghe is a very dark character, so it doesn't feel particularly OOC to say he would do those things, but it's about framing. It bothers me when the emphasis is on how fucked up he is and not how hard he's trying, because it implies a level of futility that I just don’t think is there in canon. To me the beauty of him is in how much doing right by SQQ doesn't come naturally to him, but he ultimately decides to do it anyway because he wants SQQ to be happy. (I feel it needs to be said that I don't mean this in a judgy "if you write dark Binghe you don't understand him and are a bad person" way. Just that I myself can't handle that, and I strongly disagree if you think it's where Bingqiu's relationship is headed).

but idk, I've found my corner and I'm very happy here. I actually don't read fic as often as you'd think, mostly because I am sooooo picky, so I totally get where you're coming from :) but the fandom is still decently sized and very diverse, so there are always going to be at least a few people who share your feelings, if you can find them!

[cowboy-robooty]

show me a moment of how spain raised romano back then

i had a little autism moment and didnt realize you were referring to my tags in my latest post and was about to say that requests are closed right now brubble O_O but anyways here ill show you stuff from le manga since we can both agree that the manga is definitely canon material yeah?

see I understand that romano never directly calls spain his dad and lots of hetalia characters call eachother big brother all the time, but the reason I see this as spain raising him is cuz he definately acts as a caretaker for romano while he was growing up. He follows romano secretly when he goes off to return home by himself just like how a parent would follow their kid secretly the first time they go to the store themselves. he takes care of babie romano and is shown to simply spend time with him in a non instructional way, making their relationship feel more personal than a boss and servant/disciple and shizun if you will. he lets romano hang out while he works the same way a work from home parent lets their own kid have little chit chat with them while they toil away, before making sure romano gets his afternoon nap. and also he never actually gives romano corporal punishments for not finishing his chores. He scolds him the way a parent does rather than locking him in a room as punishment, as it seems whats more important to him is that romano respects him and understands responsibility rather than actually getting shit done.

Also theres this part where he admits that he was the one who determined how romano grew up (spoiled or not). I personally read and watched hetalia and saw this as a bonafide spain raising romano moment, because i saw everything pointing to spain acting as the role of a caretaker for romano as he grew up, and a very personal one at that (seeing as he treats romano with a significant amount of yeilding and understanding, making it feel less like he treats romano as a servant and more like he treats romano as a kid he needs to take care of and give chores to to make sure he can develop a sense of responsibility).

But also it should be known that i dont want to engage in any sort of discourse about hetalia shippings and relationships and all that jazz because i think its stupid and i couldnt give less of a shit. if youre spamano nations strongest soldier then go ahead idc your blog your house dude, i aint going to barge in and spit directly in your soup lol. no hard feelings for this ask! i think itd be rude of me to not give you any explanation for why i think the way i do, since theres nothing wrong with asking about that!! but just know that past me explaining why i interpret these guys the way i do, i dont wanna discuss this subject further

[outrunningthedark]

i've been following u for years now and i love ur blog! but i wonder if u feel like ur getting less enjoyment out of 911? i ask bcuz i feel like the posts and asks i see from u about the show seem overwhelmingly negative, and i just wonder if maybe...u haven't noticed? which sounds dumb but i've definitely gotten into the "habit" of being a fan of something and not realizing until way after the fact that i'm not actually a fan anymore? i'm sorry if this seems presumptuous!!

Reasons why my posts are probably coming off as negative (which is not the first time I've heard this, lol): - I choose to respond to "negativity" rather than delete it because the opinion is usually coming from a place of confusion or frustration, not just trolling for attention. I like to let people know that their feelings are understandable even if not everyone agrees (ie the 'baiting' discussion - is it textbook qbait? nope. but they're also not doing anything to halt the speculation) And tbh, someone else's interpretation has no impact on my own feelings or my experience with the fandom. Negativity that isn't related to real life (excusing ableism, for instance) isn't thought about beyond the few asks I may get in a day when there's more difficult things going on as soon as I sign off. If someone not liking my favorite show was the catalyst for a bad mood...I'd consider my day pretty successful up to that point, lol. - I ship Buddie and want to see the Buckley-Diaz fam be a real thing because of Christopher. I'm not one of the fans who say "ngl idc about Buddie, I just want my fave to be gay" - that's cool, do you, but I want the chemistry and the story more than the "representation". Limited or no Buddie means my interest in the show will take a hit. - My favorite individual character is Chimney. The one that was written out for most of 5A without explanation. I started thinking differently about the show back then, and how he's been handled upon returning has not changed my opinion of the show runners re: undervaluing his presence. - How the show writes Maddie pisses me off because (as an anon talked about the other day) she's *still* disconnected from nearly everyone. It doesn't bother me if "all she does is cry" because I get that Jennifer has a knack for it, but I *do* understand how some could find it tiresome to see her emotional so often. Give her something funny! Let her have a one-on-one convo with a friend where she gets to relax! Make people have a reaction other than "Ugh, not this again" because, I'm sorry, not EVERYONE is gonna love your fave character upon first meeting them or connect to their story. You have to give them a reason to care, especially as the seasons go on. Show a different side, something else someone might be able to relate to! - Idk how anyone can get (genuinely) excited for future episodes of this show when there is a clear divide between how the fandom feels about certain characters and their arcs vs. how the people actually making the decisions approach the situation. Yes, being in a fandom will result in "taking things too seriously" because some people make their fave piece of media their entire personality, but having a show runner be like "lol, we have this running joke about Buck's abandonment issues" or admitting that she struggles to fill in gaps in the story is not going to make the fandom - the people taking the time to read these comments and react on social media - feel like she gives a shit about any of this.

[ladymorghul]

Self insert allegations are just “fangirl” allegations with a shiny coat of paint, it’s to imply that being a woman and engaging with a male character means you want to fuck him and nothing else. It’s the same as “girls watch sport for the hot players” and not because they can enjoy the game. The truth is that male actors tend to be pretty, that’s why they put them on tv. I wouldn’t personally say Ewan fits into that, but there’s literally nothing wrong with just finding a grown man on television hot. If you do want to fuck Aemond, that would also be okay.

But I find the same behaviour, that the people who cry about Helaemond being a self insert for Aemond fangirls are the ones who post about him the most, and frequently the ones who say borderline disturbing things about Ewan (a real person,) rather than Aemond himself. Like things about his personal life/fantasies/etc. Again, very normal to find him attractive, very fine to post about liking him, but very weird to publicly speak about a person you don’t know in a highly sexualized manner.

i generally agree with this however most alysm*nds and a part of aemond fandom is genuinely possessive of aemond. like they fiercly hate everyone who doesn't interpret aemond as they do or ship him with al*s. they think they have a right to gatekeep aemond, especially from helaemonds so i do think many they have a toxic because of how much obsessed they're with aemond.

the anon i answered to was the second who said i want to fuck aemond and i want to invite them to skim my blog from first post to last and find ANY post that states so.

to me it was even weird to find out that this fandom has so many x reader fics, though that's none of my business

in any way idc about how obessed someone is with aemond or ewan or whatever, as long as they don't act like an authority over this character and bully people who don't interact with aemond's character to their standards

honestly this fandom is putrid and i kind of regret engaging with it. lots of misogyny, weird people who claim to be book readers but screech over non canon ships, bullying bc they're possessive of a character and act like that character is their boyfriend and can only be shipped with al*s (which many project on) or with y/n 💀

i'm sorry but very few fandoms have produced such unhinged individuals

also i'm gonna close my inbox if i keep getting nasty shitty asks

[cocamalfeta]

Just an advice please do not go with taekookers narrative of the comapny is protecting them (tk) and all. Being in the fandom for 4 years i can tell you that it's just their coping excuse. Like you tell me how do you think they're hiding one gay couple (tk) by selling (according to them) another gay couple (jkk) ? Like how the hell does that make sense? Like do you wanna tell me that the comapny is protecting TK's gay relationship by making jungkook do fanservice with another member? Like so exactly are they protecting jungkook or not ? Does this even make sense?

See tk were very close at the beginning but in later years they kind of drifted apart and because of that same reason tkkrs did not got any moments so they came up with the excuse of this "Tk is private and not for cameras". Jungkook and taehyung had a talk in BTS's show ITS where jungkook himself said that over time taehyung became more reserved and things got awkward between them. It could be because taehyung was having his show so he didn't get much time to spend with his members or could be any other reasons but yeah for what tkkrs called as tk being private it was them actually feeling awkward around each other. Now they seem more than fine to me. They must have caught up on their lost time.

Another thing is according to tkkrs years back someone in a handshake event asked jungkook to chose between jimin and taehyung and he said something like his relationship with taehyung is not for cameras and all. Idk if you know how a handshake event works but you hardly get 3-4 seconds to talk idk how can a person ask such a question nd get answer like that from jungkook lol and there's no proof of this being real. Another is they actually asked jungkook to chose between jm nd TH and he actually chose both by tick marking in front of bothe of their names and there's picture of it too as a proof.

They are known for making up theories out of thin air just like they made a group dinner at atomix as only tk dinner like they writes whole damn essays over it.

Idk i just simply see going to get into that tkkrs spiral just like all the baby armys. Cause the few posts you have rted are clearly not it. I saw you rting one post of sign language that and mind you tkkrs were called out by actual sign language expert language after them claiming tk talking in sign language during my universe. It was all over army twitter... they're known for misleading.

I'm sorry if I'm coming across as rude or some shipper trying to force my ship or anything but belive me idc who you gonna ship in the future when i know none of these ships are real and there's tens of tkkrs so one adding up there won't cost anything to me. But my only concern was you beliveing their theories without backtracking it all.

Anyways, taehyung is quite definitely dating Jennie, and there's video going viral of supposed jk with his gc. Idk I'm just telling you to fact check before beliveing anything be it any ship.

Well, hi there. It seems someone else should do the backtracking now, as JK has straightaway denied dating any girl. And forget about ships being real or not --this is not what this is about. Facts will always be subjected to multifarious interpretations depending on your narrative, and as long as you develop your theories without insulting others’ stories or ramblings it should be fine.

That aside, “my relationship with taehyung is not for cameras” is such a beautiful, iconic statement to make. But the thing is, I believe Taekookers “do” have some grounds regarding the privacy matter. Because, yes, privacy is a huuuge issue in Korea, especially regarding women and children. Jikookers dissed Taehyung because, supposedly, their brother and sister didn’t even want to see him / weren’t on good terms with him? Yes, Jk and Jimin had only brothers, no sisters, and Tae’s statements regarding his siblings heavily hinted at privacy issues.

In the same vein idols’ privacy regarding real relationships  should be as fiercely protected. Them being gay in an extremely homophobic country where until now no other idol had came out of the closet –and the one who did was kicked out of his company-- of course would led their company to protect them even more, separating them or cutting them out of filming and overall not pairing them together. For instance, remember the “Flying yoga” episode where they had to be “randomly” paired up for the final poses but instead ended up with the usual ships (Jikook, Taejin).

Just remember the blackmail issue with threats of disclosing a gay relationship in 2015-2016 by an unknown source (supposedly Dispatch) and fans mentioning BTS members, as well as the infamous footage of Taekook being separated while on camera around the same time. I just “think” you could argue Jikook being so much in your face with their loudness “could” prove they can’t be in a real relationship. And Jikookers’ narratives oscillate wildly in that regard: one moment they think they’re laying low because of MS and another they’re loud because they don’t give a f. anymore. Narratives shouldn’t be that inconsistent.

Anyway, I’ll post your ask because at the end of the day I’d rather believe more in Vminkook's amazing friendship than them being involved in a committed relationship with each other. Friendship is so vastly underestimated. I’m glad you quoted Jk choosing both of their friends as I came to realise --while watching Taekook content-- that JK enjoyed a very close bond to Tae too. I even thought their interactions were nearly identical as those of Jikook: the same jealousy / possessiveness, the lustful and longing stares, the holding hands/arms, hovering around each other, sleeping together, dating / private trips, using ILY hand signs on performances / grand gestures, getting real intimate at times, overall lack of boundaries and being comfortable around each other, and so on. Considering that, Jungkook's relationship with Jimin wouldn't be as much distinct as Jikookers would lead you to believe. That's where I'm standing rn.

just out of curiosity since you mentioned you only have a couple of ships, who do you ship in genshin?

*sweats*

Don't mind me as I panic because I'm literally scared of the shipping-side of fandoms in general (I've seen how people talk to each other on twitter when their ships don't align and, oh boy, I want nothing to do with that...) >.<'

But my ships are fairly popular aside from one... I guess? I have three I like. Just to give a specific number. And while I don't read or write ship fanfics, since I prefer x Reader, I do like to look at fanart occasionally.

I'll put them UTC because I assume some people don't want to read that on their timeline since this is primarily an x Reader blog <3

Zhongli x Guizhong

I've shipped them pretty much since I started playing the game in 2021. I got super invested into Zhongli's lore and eventually came across her name. Then I started digging deeper into her lore and theories about her and fell in love with her and the ship.

I suppose this is something of a niche ship? Especially now with the new Lantern Rite where GuiPing seems to have overtaken it. And I've already seen people attacked over shipping GuiLi because of that too on twt now... cause apparently it's homophobic to ship them now? Idk... make it make sense. This is why I usually stay out of this.

2. Cyno x Tighnari

These two... I swear Sumeru has changed me somehow because as I stated in prior asks: I'm usually not into shipping characters so whenever I start liking two characters I have a sort of "denial stage" at first where I'm like "nah, I don't ship them... or maybe... no.... yes?".

And at first I was like "yeah they're best friends, whatever"... then I saw more and more fanart and was like "yeah, you know what, they're kinda cute." and eventually fanart converted me into shipping them. So, good job fanartists - the domestic and cuddly scenarios you put them in made me cave 👌🏻

And lastly...

3. Alhaitham x Kaveh

This one also seems to be quite popular and I basically just got past the above mentioned denial stage, haha! 😂

I have to admit I couldn't stand Kaveh at all at first, he seemed like a handful and I was like "yeah, they'd never get along in a million years, especially not as a couple."

Then I played Haitham's story quest and saw the interaction with Kaveh... then I saw more fanart again. Then [insert denial stage here] and I guess I'm now at the point where I can say, yeah... I like them and I also like Kaveh now... he is just such a kindhearted soul (even if he is a bit eccentric, I suppose).

Good job fanartists, once again 🤝🏻

So yeah, that is all of them.

I want to mention that I am really lost when it comes to shipping terminology and I also don't really want to get involved in all that stuff. It's all a bit too stressful for me.

I do want to draw fanart of these ships but I'm a bit too scared to do so and only drew things that could be interpreted as both ship or platonic (they're posted on my art blog, I'll keep this blog clear of that). Because I've seen how vile shippers get towards other ships at times when they don't like the portrayed one... instead of - you know - ignoring it??? Especially on twt.

And don't get me started on some "rules" people have put up for shipping. Like, just let me have the idea of two fictional characters being all lovey-dovey. If it makes me or anyone else happy, who cares? (as long as it isn't problematic ships ofc...)

I never intend to write ship fanfic however since that is something I also don't enjoy consuming myself. I always preferred self-insert 🤷🏻‍♀️

And lastly, idc if anyone ships these peeps with someone else or doesn't ship them with anyone at all. It's fictional characters and at the end of the day... it ain't that deep (which is why I'll never understand why some people make such a fuss over it...)

That person on twitter is always so unnecessarily shady towards Jonny, they're one of the mods on the subreddit and I always see their comments. They're clearly a Matt fan that doesn't like that Jonny has received more attention from critics and that his character is the most sympathetic out of the two. Every week on episode discussion posts they're always defending Hawk when people criticize his choices and how he treats Tim and calling Tim naïve and unrealistic about everything, also blaming their evey confrontation on Tim, which, you know, fine if that's your interpretation of the show, but it's clearly about when the actors.

I also remember more than one time someone made a comment basically saying oh, they have such good chemistry, I wish they were together in real life. And again, people shouldn't ship them, Matt's married, but when this person defended Matt's marriage they were again so shady about Jonny, saying that he's not Matt's type and if they were Matt and were married to Simon they wouldn't want Jonny either. It's just so unnecessary to say that.

I've kept up with awards conversations for years, and everyone says that the lead actor for a limited series field at the Globes is barren this year, there are very few big shows, if Jonny had competed as lead he would have easily gotten a nomination along with Matt, but since the Globes combined the limited, drama and comedy categories for supporting he was in a much more competitive field, against some juggernaut shows like The Bear, Succession and The Morning Show. If Matt was in supporting as well he wouldn't have gotten the nomination either, it's not about any lack of campaigning on Jonny's part, it's about the categories.

ykw i am so fucking done with that user im gonna publish this

i was so appalled by that user today like the fucking nerve to blame this on jonathan?? like stan or celebrate whoever you want idc and enjoy matts nom but why the fuck do you have to shade jonathan

and i agree i have seen them shade jonny SO MANY TIMES its insane. i am not on reddit so i dont know what shit they pull there but oh my god thats such a weird thing to say re: the ship thing?

shipping irl is weird af but that response is even weirder

literally its all the fault of golden globes and not bc jonny didnt campaign, there was no point even if he had - and according to that logic he wouldnt be nominated for critics choice?

like ffs focus on your own faves pls its possible to do that and celebrate them

Regardless of whether we're talking platonic or romantic or whatever—you're right, Bill is obsessed with Ford post-betrayal, you can't even say it's just to try to get through the barrier because he invites Ford to join him and then carries him around like a little kid's favorite stuffed animal long before he realizes Ford might still be useful to him—

But like, that's post-betrayal. It's an entirely different story pre-betrayal, when Ford calls Bill a "fickle being" who seemingly only visits him irregularly, but nevertheless Ford's got a shrine COATED in art of Bill, a shrine he spent either a whole lot of money or a whole lot of time creating. It's not much of a stretch to say Ford worshipped Bill (with whatever undertones to "worship" you personally feel like tacking onto the dynamic). If there was a one-sided anything back then, it was on Ford's side.

And then, very abruptly, it switched. And I do mean abruptly—Ford's change of heart is more dramatic and obvious, but based on Bill's notes in Ford's journal it seems even he made a pretty quick flip from taunting Ford over being deceived to trying to sincerely persuade Ford that his way is right. I wouldn't be surprised if something about the confrontation over Bill's betrayal is what triggered his switch from seeing Ford as a disposable pawn to seeing him as a friend and (dubious) "equal."

They were each dying for a little affection and compassion from somebody who at best disdained them and at worst hated them—but both of them were on both sides of that dynamic to each other. They were each enthralled with the other but never simultaneously, it was never reciprocated.

idc whether or not you interpret that as a "ship"; if you look at this tragedy and it makes you feel like screaming (mainly at Bill, but like, in general), then we are seeing the same vision

I dont ship billford and theres a lot to say about their dynamic being fucked up and unhealthy and unbalanced but I do think they got homoeroticism objectively

[star-scrambled]

so with sonic and knuckles basicaly being brothers in the movie, how you feeling?

I think everyone really wants an answer out of me as the person who ruthlessly crowded the movie sonknux tag for months, so here you go! I said I’d comply with whatever happened, and now I am, and I’m having fun with that ADORABLE ending 🥺 idc!!! and idc in the sense that i’m happy either way!!!

The thing that has been ticking me off though is how I’ve yet to actually see a definitive confirmation of their relationship at the end, less so at official sources (as far as I’m aware) and more so at the people who decide to take rude jabs at eachother’s opinions as they inform me. I’m not going to trust someone saying “this is why they’re not siblings at all” when they’re actively judging people who got that from the ending and are creating good comforting content in their own space. I don’t endorse anyone doing that honestly, I thought it was common sense to respect eachother and lay off if you see something you don’t like.

On a more personal reflective note: It’s a strange thing to witness this happen, but it’s kind of funny to me too??? Like, how common is it for your ship to have One Canon of Dozens that seems to push for a relationship more familial 28 years after the characters’ original debut AND in arguably what’s become the most well known media with them, and what do you do about that? I personally have a deep soft spot for the found family message of the movie, and honest to god the fics people have made in the past few days alone about it have driven me to tears SO OFTEN because of how adorable and sweet it all is, but like......in terms of my art content, what is Movie Sonic and Movie Knuckles if not regular Sonic and Knuckles with extra fur and new shoes? I’m still drawing the exact same characters, and so far indulging in both the media where the ship is rocky and where the ship is completely justified feels...REALLY fucking weird. Like. Is that Okay. Am I completely closed off from enjoying this because I dug myself a hole for two years that’s too deep to jump out of and start over again? Or can I make this work somehow?

My only hope is that, if it is confirmed ten fold that they are undeniably siblings and not just awkward found family friends to besties (how I see the ending and onward so far, purely /p), people take the effort to check the dates of my pre-movie fan works before sending asks about it. I wouldn’t even consider myself a spokesperson for the ship anymore, if I’m being honest, again because of the weird behaviour and different views and interpretations I have of them compared to most anyway. Sonuckles/Sonknux will always have me in its grasps, and I’m obviously not changing how I create non-movie ship, but I’d rather make even more fun with what I got than waste my energy and cause unnecessary problems for myself trying to resist it.

I hope this is what you wanted to hear??? Like I’ve posted before, if anyone unbias can actually tell me what’s going on with them, PLEASE lmk!!! 👍 but either way team sonic fans STAY WINNING BABYYYYYYYYYY AAAUUYEGUSGGHGHHHHG SOBS
