#not a ship post obv

Thinking about how Phoenix did everything for love, from writing relentlessly letters to get attention to almost killing him self in court.

And then, it came to him, in the darkest hour, in the form of a little girl, just as lost as he is.

[mildmayfoxe]

are YOU a cool and sexy weirdo or do you KNOW some cool and sexy weirdos?? do you love presenting yourself as a supporter of the arts?? are you a fan of giving money directly to artists?? do you still have some spaces on your walls that need to be filled or KNOW someone with spaces on their walls that need to be filled?? do you need to buy gifts for someone for whatever kind of potential reason? are you aching for objects to fill the void? I HAVE GOOD NEWS! 🎉❤️‍🔥

i don't think there is anything more dear to me than the weird "it's not romantic, it's not sexual, but 'platonic' and 'familial' don't quite cover it" relationship between:

the edgelord who may or may not have committed several atrocities.

the ray of sunshine who has been through too many atrocities but remains a ray of sunshine regardless/in spite of it.

I really can't understand why, but there's so much useless discourse in the pjo fandom - about ships, about interpretation of characters, about headcanons, and all stuff like that. Like, are most people in this fandom unable to have fun?

I mean, I've been in the fandom for ten years now, and (maybe it was bc back in the day I was in the Italian fandom) but back then there wasn't this much discourse???

Please, just learn to have fun, that's literally what fandoms are made for

Just hear me out xingyun's ship name but 幸运 (xìng yùn, luck) and ga-ming x chongyun's ship name being mingyun but also 命运 (mìng yùn, fate)

I cannot believe I have to write a post about this in regards to my Utena art, but an account on here called @/familyromantic just reblogged fanart I made of Miki and Kozue as ship art, and they are specifically a blog dedicated to incestuous ships and proshipping.

Of ALL of the art you could reblog of this topic, you choose to reblog non-ship art I made of two CHILDREN who have a deeply troubled and traumatizing relationship with incest in the context of their story, and tag my art as a ship on your blog.

Just to say this explicitly - any proshippers/incest shippers/sexual assault romanticizers/whatever: DO NOT REBLOG MY ART. Especially do not reblog my Utena art. I have already blocked this account so hopefully they won't be able to reblog any more of my Utena pieces, but I felt the need to make this post to establish firmly how I feel about this subject matter. Utena is a very triggering show that includes these topics, and that is unavoidable - what I won't tolerate is anyone who romanticizes and sexualizes these topics to engage with my fanart of the series.

Eden actually likes her name. When she thinks about the muslin-draped horrors she could’ve gotten stuck with, like poor Suzie, she feels guiltily glad she dodged that bullet. If she’d been the one who had to shoulder the impossible burden of being named Suzie, who knows how she might’ve turned out.

Eden is a word that could go a lot of ways. It’s almost as good as Lilith or Isis or something. It’s the kind of name that could be sexy, in the right hands. The kind of name you could say on stage: ladies and gentlemen, introducing the one and only Eden—

That’s where the picture stalls out, though. Eden Bingham is pretty awful, no matter how you spin it. She wants to pick a stage name like some glamorous Hollywood actress, but she hasn’t decided exactly what she wants yet. She thinks it would be real elegant to pick something French, like…like Verne. 

There’s a battered paperback tucked under her mattress at home, where sticky, prying little fingers can’t get at it. She’s not a fast reader, but she’s read it about a million times by now. Sometimes when she can’t sleep, she’ll take it out and just squint at it in the moonlight, tracing her fingertips over the faded elephant on the cover. It’s a story about some guy who was so bored he decided to travel all around the world, and nobody stopped him. He could just go. He didn’t have any kids or anything that he had to take care of or look after; in fact, there was some guy whose whole job was to look after him. 

For a little while, Eden thought about borrowing the main guy’s last name, but Eden Fogg sounds kind of old and stuffy. She could take the French valet’s name, but she’s not completely confident she knows how to pronounce Passepartout, and she’s terrified she’s going to say it wrong and nobody’s going to take her seriously ever again. 

The author’s French too, though, and his name seems a lot easier to handle. So, lately she’s been looking in the mirror and saying Eden Verne, hi my name is Eden Verne real quiet to herself, just testing it out. She’s not sure about it yet, but it’s definitely better than Eden Bingham. 

Eden Bingham is just a handful of years away from Edie Bingham, who spends her time looking after a house full of kids and wears shapeless floor-length dresses. But Eden Verne could be someone who travels and wears exciting makeup. Eden Verne drinks and swears and smokes, and she never has to deal with kids ever again. Beautiful, sophisticated men and women alike despair for love of her, but she never lets anyone stay more than a night. 

Anyway, she doesn’t have to figure out if she can carry off Verne yet, because the stupid boy she followed halfway across the country introduced her to his friends as Eden Bingham, so she never got the chance to decide if she was going to say something different. She probably wouldn’t have, but—maybe she would. Maybe. She’ll never know.

The thing with Argyle fizzled out pretty quick. He’s cute, and making out with him is fun, but he doesn’t ever seem to want anything real out of life. Eden can’t understand him at all, and worse yet, she’s pretty sure he doesn’t understand her. When they’re high, they communicate just fine giggling about the cosmos, but that’s not enough. She’s sure there’s supposed to be more, even if she’s not entirely sure what that means.

She broke up with him on an impulse, and sometimes she regrets it. He’s a good guy. He’s not like any other guy she’s ever known. He’s willing to drive clear across the country, which is what she liked about him to begin with. Maybe that’s as good as it gets for her.

But she can’t take it back now. It’s not even that she thinks he’d say no, necessarily; she just can’t handle the idea of trying to walk back something like that. She’d die of humiliation before the words made it out of her mouth. 

So Eden’s just here, in Hawkins, staying in her ex-fling’s best friend’s step-dad’s spare room because it’s still marginally better than having to hitch home to Utah. Argyle is planning to drive back to California in a few weeks, so she’s going to just ride with him then. In the meantime, she’s going to have a nice, quiet vacation in Indiana, doing whatever it is Midwesterners do in the summer, and then she’ll go home and nothing at all about the life of Eden Bingham will have changed.

The hype around aai2 is making me remember how much I love this franchise. More specifically, how much I’ve fucking missed being a part of a fandom with actual good quality wlw ships.

Most fandoms I’ve been in recently have either no popular f/f ships, or that one token wlw support ship with no personality of their own.

Meanwhile:

There’s Franmaya!! Junithena!!! Lanamia!!! Fradrian!! Truepearl!!! Aurametis!!!! Kay x every single female character she’s ever interacted with!!!!

It’s great.

I keep seeing ppl rank Tary/Percy low on ship tier lists on twitter and you guys are cowards smh REALISE THE POTENTIAL

Anyway what if they banged once to get it out of their system and then afterwards in the post-sex glow Tary is like yeahhh I’m over my crush now. and Percy wonders what he did. Shake his ego a bit. Humble the man.

I've been analyzing a few scenes to satisfy my tsume/kiba thirst for content lately and hear me out;

-SPOILERS FOR WOLF'S RAIN'S ENDING-

Kiba obviously cares for every member of the pack, but here's something I think may prove he at least favors Tsume. During everyone's last quarrel with Darcia, they sacrifice themselves to push Kiba on to open paradise, which leads to their death.

Hige suffers a fatal wound inflicted by Darcia and Kiba stops, clearly concerned for him, but after a reassuring smile from him, Kiba nods to him and moves forward.

Now, after Tsume joins the fight and covers him Hige-less, Kiba asks, once again concerned about what happened to him, but gets no response.

When Tsume gets wounded and Darcia skips past, Kiba stops, just like he did for Hige, but he sounds more alarmed and asks directly "(Tsume!) Are you alright?!" which he didn't do for Hige.

They talk for a while, which is really heartfelt in itself, but Tsume is obviously on his deathbed and pleads for him to go away and stop Darcia not once, not twice, but three times.

Because Kiba insisted just as many times, encouraging him with "Hang in there!" and even tried to grab him, to help him up at the least or carrying him at the most. Just like Tsume did for him when he couldn't run with the pack in ep 5. I think its significant that he was so desperate to have Tsume by his side again, that he didn't want to leave him despite Tsume very clearly and aggressively telling him to go away.

And after Tsume's last howl he clearly shows so many emotions.

Anyway, I'll do more of those, they're fun!
