#or even really multi shipping

Honestly I need to put this out into the world:
I don't think a lot of people (mainly buddietwt at the moment) understand that shipping something doesn't need to be endgame. I can ship buddie and Tevan, because relationships don't have to last forever, they could still be friends after a break up too, but in my honest opinion right now Tevan is what buck needs and people are being way too harsh to Tommy for no reason. Is he perfect? No. Literally no one is.
I promise you it is perfectly normal to love people even if they aren't your forever person, in my opinion, this goes especially hard with queer people and relationships.
#tevan#bucktommy#buddie#tv: 911#911#911 abc#this isn't even going into the possibility of polyam relationships#or even really multi shipping#you can love people as just part if their journey#my ex boyfriend and i are still cosmically intertwined even if we aren't romantic anymore#what im saying is tevan can break up whatever but ill ship them even if its just part of the journey#its not a betrayal to want buck to be loved#especially when hes just starting to accept himself

link to the post I accidentally wound up prattling endlessly about in the tags 💀
#doctor who#tenth doctor#martha jones#david tennant#freema agyeman#(good god. without even meaning to I went into 'psycho stream of consciousness tagging' mode. whoops)#always thinking of that one post#where OP mentions how the writing tries to make it seem like Ten looked right through Martha/etc#which is a good concept for demonstrating his grief. but also isnt what we really see throughout S3#(not saying he wasn't a grieving MESS because he was. but he's a multi-faceted character and he can grieve AND value Martha simultaneously)#but we see such fierce protective instinct+trust; a bond between them that obviously isn't some one-sided affair#+ his clear intent to impress her/be admired and respected by her (apropos the post that inspired this sentiment)#but RTD obviously isn't the most infallible of writers#*cough* [list of reasons I cut down b/c long] *cough*#He can make Martha say “he's not seeing me/he doesn't look at me” but then you just watch with your eyes and you get a different story#It's like the opposite of when Moffat tries to make you believe someone is super important through bold claims without showing his work#instead RTD tries to make you believe Ten is functionally blind to Martha's existence while showing numerous examples of the contrary#then bring in the novels+myspace blog+cartoon that he all signed off on. Which tie together to create a canon backdrop#basically I said all of that to say this—#it's the whole reason I had to make this blog to get this sort of stuff off my chest (even if it's just for me sometimes)—#Ten not only SAW Martha—he trusted+respected+enjoyed+adored her. And it's a good thing#it doesn't cheapen his grief. I feel like people must think it does which is why I constantly see bad unnecessary takes about them#it just means that Martha was SO important to him and it's ok. they had a killer friendship outside the unrequited minutiae and it's ok#there's even a comic where 'someone' makes him believe she's Martha and he makes her change her appearance because “it's still too raw”#Just saying you don't say that sort of thing about someone whose existence you're all blasé about#Martha already gets fucked by the narrative in enough ways without people totally missing her significance in the Doctor's life#you don't have to ship them to appreciate them on a deeper level#anyway. fuck. if you actually read all of these then I'm so sorry#creating this blog has taught me that there are only like two people who feel the same way about tenmartha matters and it’s fine 😂#but if I didn’t give myself an outlet it would probably form a tumor SO there we are then

okay but how insane would I be if I admitted I was curious about the ship dynamic between The Ghoul & Norm?
The only issue I foresee is that, in my head, Norm is the younger brother and cannot possibly be over 22 years old… but boy, does that little worm in my brain bring up the ship every time I write.
Sometimes I just think it’d be so interesting? Norm has gained some backbone by the end of the series and I really think he wouldn’t be afraid to just… say what he thinks to The Ghoul’s face. He’d also have none of that ‘Vault Dweller Goodness’ that The Ghoul has associated with Lucy. There’d be a strange combination of respect and animosity… plus, I think he’d appreciated Norm’s dry humor.
Imagine: Lucy & The Ghoul are traveling together and Norm joins them at some point. Norm is keeping records of all the Wasteland creatures he comes across because he’s genuinely interested in how the surface has affected things and people…
…which leads him to asking rather probing questions to The Ghoul. Does he have genitalia? How long did the process take to become a ghoul? Are they experiencing radiation exposure just by traveling with him or do they have to be in closer proximity? Is he semen irradiated?
Purely scientific, of course, but The Ghoul would turn it right back on him and ask if he wants to experiment to learn these things.
Norm is disturbed, initially, cue crisis…
Who knows who knows.
#ao3#fanfic#kinda#musings#norm maclean#norman maclean#the ghoul#cooper howard#norm x the ghoul#it’s still kind of vaultghoul but not really#ghorm#hahaha#is there even a ship name#is anyone interested in this dynamic? is it just me and my multi-shipping brain?#fallout#it could be a platonic ship too#like I don’t think everything needs to be done to end romantically or sexually#but the dynamic itself is something that’s so fascinating to me and something I just love exploring in my side-fic that I work on sometimes#it’s a ghoulcy fic entirely from the POV of Norm#so I have some fun exploring how he views things and interprets things#especially his interactions with The Ghoul are something I’m trying to understand because BOY is there some things to explore#idk i’m tired#can you tell what’s been on my mind for the last several weeks?

Its funny isn't it. there's a side of the fandom that can only cope if they think of Eddie as some cardboard cutout that they can project onto. Its why I think they have latched onto T*mmy so quickly, because he is literally their dream beige version of Eddie and for so long Eddie being a character who has his own motivations has ruined their headcannons. Didn't someone work out that Buck this season has had way more scenes involving Eddie than Eddie has involving Buck? But Eddie is supposed to be the one twiddling his thumbs whilst Buck is out there living life etc.
No, but that's exactly it for a portion of the people on the fandom and that is definitely what made people jump straight into T's arms. Eddie is a main character. He has dept and development. He has 6 seasons worth of a personality that doesn't fit the ideal partner they see for the wobbified version of Buck they made up in their heads. And considering the way that canon established Tommy as Eddie two steps to the left that Buck is projecting feelings into, fanon went wild. Tommy has no established personality. He has the begin episodes that paint him in a not so great light. They have the few scenes that exist with Buck where he exists, okay? He's doing the bare minimum. Sometimes not even that. But that means he is a character they can project anything they want into. He's a blank canvas. That means the space can be filled with whatever they see fit. And that means they can take the personality they convinced themselves Eddie had and copy/paste into T and move on. I've seen some awful takes. AWFUL. Like, some people are legit attacking Eddie to make him look better in comparison because they can't deal with the way that Eddie is still Buck's partner in crime. Eddie is not allowed to exist outside of Buck and some people just wanted to see Oliver make out with a guy. T does that. In a blank canvas. The show is historical for handling Buck's love life poorly and people are putting too much weight on interviews. They lie all the time because they can't give things up. I wanna know what's gonna happen if this relationship isn't the smooth sailing people decided it will be. There is a chance it will be fine and end amicably. But there's also a chance that it will get messy. Right now it could tip either way and I don't think that part of the fandom is gonna be ready to deal with shit if it gets messy. If T does something that goes against the perfect pedestal they put him in. People are already ignoring actually canon stuff like the way he left Buck in a curb, failed to communicate why he was leaving until he was in the car, and then didn't come back. So like, it's crazy. And yeah, a lot of Buck's arc so far has involved Eddie somehow, but Buck is adjacent to Eddie's. But I guess that's making it worse, because they don't like Eddie unless he's providing Buck with something they see fit and they are getting that somewhere else. Some people are showing that they don't have critical thinking skills when it comes to queer couples and honestly, that's kind of alarming.
#im not saying this is what everyone is doing#i am coexisting with some mutual who ship it so far so#i mean i am getting blocked left and right but#some people still care about eddie even in the multi shipping both and i can respect that#i can't respect belittling Eddie to make a ship valid#Eddie is the main character here#but yeah#it is definitely happening#911#i really need a tag for asks#anon 😌#anti bucktommy#just to be safe

I’m sorry critters I have a confession:
I just don’t like Fearne and Ashton together romantically. I don’t like it.
Personally I love wild child aromantic Fearne who beds who she wants, flirts with everything, and is basically a loose canon.
And I think Ashton needs someone whose soft with them. They still need to have a desire for adventure and getting into trouble, but I really think he’d do so well with someone a little more grounding!! Which is just not Fearne, who doesn’t always think of others when she’s making decisions (this isn’t a bad thing, I fucking love this about Fearne)!!!
And don’t think I don’t love their dynamic, their friendship is so cute!!! The stealing game, and even the forehead kiss was adorable and I love to see them together. But I just,,,,,,, don’t like it romantically.
#really just wanted to put this somewhere#I’m not usually fully against a ship even if it’s not one of mine#I’m a multi shipper gdi#also ship wars are stupid#as is most in fandom fighting about ships#and this is not hate towards anyone who does ship it or either character!!!#i just don’t ship it god damn it#and a niggling thread of dread is telling me#their end game#which makes me sad#critical role#ashton greymoore#fearne calloway#belles hells

seeing what people will do to get people to vote their ship is so funny to me. i’m willing to bet this entire tournament has gotten at least one person out of their writers/artists block
Shipping is serious business, lol. I hope this helped people with their creative blocks, that'd be really funny.
#It's funny because even though I'm aro I love shipping#maybe that's why I'm a multi shipper actually#I don't really have OTP's#Would you guys be interested in me ranking all of the ships in this tournament once it's over?

I will lose my fucking goddamn mind if I come across another fake dating fic where the endgame isn't tagged.
Like, if you start a fic with an endgame in mind, and then that changes while writing the story, that's fine! Just Change the tags! That easy! Some people don't multi-ship, and it's fine that you do, but maybe make it clear how it's gonna end because me and a lot of other people don't like certain ships and that's fucking okay.
#the sudden and inexplicable realisation that i probably dont multiship bc as a mostly aroace person#i cant imagine liking more than one person at one time and therefore having more than two possible outcomes:#dating the person you like or not dating the person you like#those are the two options in my head#“i only really ever like one person at any time” bro you hardly like anybody at any time#anyway#the fic(s) im thinking of was p!ns and p@tches#sensoring it because i know its a rarepair and if someone searches it i dont want this rant coming up#searching is generally how i find my content instead of tags#seriously though i have like Maybe three characters i multi ship and i cant even remember who#fake dating#fanfiction#i swear to fucking god if someone says “some people are gonna like ships you dont like get over it”#or some shit like that#they will immediately be blocked im so fucking sick of not being taken seriously#i know that. im okay with that. take your own advice maybe and tag ships properly

It’s not necessarily that the wwdits fandom is edgy, it’s that this usually happens in fandoms all the time. Many people eventually get bored of the one ship after a while and crave new dynamics. It’s not a bad thing in and of itself, the problem comes when they don’t understand what they’re feeling and start trying to find reasons to justify it, hence starting toxicity claims and over-analyzing the first ship to a fault. But yeah to answer your question, it’s just a normal thing that I’ve seen happen in probably every single fandom I’ve been in.
Oh thank you so much for taking the time to explain this! 💕
I admit im not part of a lot of fandoms, and most of them are nearly dead. What you said actually makes a lot of sense.
And I think the whole toxicity discourse is just so illogical bc these are fictional characters in a silly fictional world and whatever they decide to do has no bearing on the real life n real ppl. Its just for fun. Its ok not to like a character or a ship but when they try to justify it by saying its 'problematic' and 'toxic' i can't help but to roll my eyes. Believe me we're not taking relationship advice from a silly vampire show.
And i also think its funny (n kinda frustrating tbh) that nandermo isn't even canon yet and some ppl are already treating it like it happened and its now gone, so lets move on to a new ship (which never includes my blorbo nandor) 😅
#im fine with multi ships#but with wwdits it's every othr character but nandor#its like fans just want to forget that nandor even exists#which makes me really sad#wwdits#nandor the relentless#nandermo#what we do in the shadows#wwdits asks

After catching up on fandom things today I just gotta say that I am fascinated by the way that someone can turn something around to feed their perspective. And it's like, guys, I was here for TJLC...nothing can get as wild as that, I think, but ship wars do nothing but get aggravating and they make people that don't want to get involved so annoyed they pick a side.
There is such a thing as multi-shipping and also just being decent and staying in your own lane and enjoying your ship and the fanworks being produced. Curate what you see and who you interact with and it just makes your life so much easier.
#look I'm a multi-shipper#just look at how much buddie fic I've written#but I was also never clear on why I stopped writing buddie#or why one of my last long fics got really hard for me to write because of all the drama#granted I had other personal reasons like wanting to write other stuff but I don't even really read buddie fic anymore#bucktommy has inspired me to write in this fandom again#and I would be thrilled if they were endgame#just like I would also be thrilled to see buddie happen if the story arrives there organically#but I hate the disrespect that is being shown to the canon ship and also to the actors and it makes me support one over the other

#right so#firstly: oliver stark i love you please never stop#the way he talks about buck is so nice!! not to mention always reiterating that the show was queer before bi buck was confirmed#secondly: oliver stark i love you but please stop!!!#lmao. ben affleck smoking jpeg#i completely understand his reasoning behind what he says about tommy#he can’t confirm or deny anything and changes are he doesn’t even know anything. just like before#when he was waxing poetic about natalia and buck’s future#i just do not like the whole narrative of tommy being a perfect queer elder who can do no wrong and is there to guide buck through this#it’s a disservice to his character. and to buck’s#and to eddie’s if you really wanna go there#tommy is the perfect first boyfriend because he’s got experience. right? that’s what we’re saying?#experience does not equal perfection#and like i said the other day. it suggests eddie is not worthy of being a queer love yet because he has no experience#they hadn’t written the final episodes yet for a reason. they’re posting positive b/t posts on social media for a reason#they’re testing fan reactions to decide what to do with b/t. sorry but i genuinely think that’s the reason#and this characterisation of tommy as perfect and ideal for buck and they’re smitten etc#a second ben affleck smoking jpeg#i have nothing against tommy or b/t together or multi shippers. nothing at all#but i sweaaarrrrrr#if i lose out on the ship who have 6 years friendship and a history of getting through neg and pos experiences together#coparenting and saving each others’ lives. literally and figuratively#being so intrinsically linked to each other#not to mention oliver and ryan’s chemistry#if i lose out on that because people can’t stop screaming about tommy on social media#i will implode and take this place with me#especially because focusing on buck’s lovely new perfect relationship will probably mean that eddie is pushed aside#with a shitty storyline they put no effort into. wait what who said that that’s crazy#i agree that bi buck isn’t about eddie (it’s not about tommy either) and potential queer eddie isn’t about buck#but i’m so done with people saying we can’t hope the two storylines come together in the future. why is it suddenly bad to want buddie

...I am not happy about the return of the "Vincent Valentine is really Sephiroth's father's" truthers.
(Not that they ever really went away, I just hadn't interacted with any in a long time and unfortunately an artist whose art I enjoy for other fandoms is into the Vincent is Sephiroth's dad theory.)
(Also I want a PS5 so damn badly so I can play the game instead of being teased by other people's posts and having to self-exile myself from the fandom for like a year as to not get spoiled too much.)
#for some reason i have found myself on the side of the few who are professor hojo fans#i don't even know how that even happened but i think i just like mad scientists#my favorite character will always be Cloud though#also my primary ship is now Tifa/Aerith because of Remake#i also would not say no to Tifa/Cloud/Aerith triad#but honestly Cloud really isn't in a place to have a relationship#but my favorite thing to see in fanfiction these days is people having multiple relationships over the years#as people fall in and out of love and just change over time#that's honestly my fantasy - that no matter how many times your heart is broken that there is always hope for new love#hence why i tend to be a multi-shipper

unpopular opinion but a ship being queer coded doesn't make it compelling
#the dynamic between the characters‚ on another hand‚ does!#sometimes ships from certain media are carried by 'queer coding' instead of being relevant because of the actual relationship#that‚ to me‚ means very little#what does it matter if their colours compliment each other or that their names are intended to hint at something if the relationship in#the story fails to portray anything romance-like or their dynamic is just poorly written?#i could go on a tangent here because this is coming from me wanting to rant about a specific genshin ship but i will shut up#i just want to be a hater#i don't even hate the ship itself it's the fans who take scenes out of context and depth from the characters to make the narrative fit#also the constant idea in fandoms that friendships/platonic relationships can't have depth or be the reason someone cares deeply for#somebody else. or even the idea platonic feelings can't be complicated.#i think it's also hard for me to swallow every genshin ship because it's obvious they use queer coding without compromise as a way to#profit with both the staights and the lgbts but whatever#yes i am aware of the censorship but i'm also aware they're a multi-millionaire company that keeps repeating the same 'formula'#for marketing everytime new characters are released... and it works.#genshin will never be as gay as actual gay media from gay creators and i think people have a hard time grasping that#a bit unrelated to my original point but also not really because i do think it influences the way people interact with the story#i'm not trying to say people can't have fun by the way 😂#this all started because i dislike a popular ship and that makes you feel like you're somehow missing a few screws#how come i'm the only right person here 🤣 (joking)

Ngl kinda happy that the N + V week didn’t happen on halloween like the name halfway suggested tbh
I will admit a liiitle bit of it’s because I’m not personally a fan of N + V but like also-
Like, don’t get me wrong I don’t think doing some cute ship art for halloween would be a bad thing/a week for one ship doesn’t necessarily preclude other people doing their own stuff/multiple existing at one time but like- I kinda think it’d just be a really good time for some general prompts focusing more on the horror parts of the series/maybe some fluff that can be romantic or can apply to everyone in the whole cast?
(also even if I think the idea of it being a “ship war” in general beyond mild jabs/memes is kinda dumb vs just having your own preferences and opinions based on your analysis- if we are going on ship war terms, I don’t like the idea of either side trying to claim it and that goes for “my side” too :( )
#also I will admit tbh part of it was even as someone who likes N + Uzi I just wasn’t a fan of the most recent ship week list#like- it didn’t really feel like it applied well to what I liked about the ship#(also why the hell was Uzi the one picked to be yandere by most people? like- yeah ep 4 but like that was kinda other factors#she wasn’t really doing it of her own will + it was more insecurities/ being afraid of abandonment than IF I CANT HAVE HIM NOONE CAN imo?#like- not a big fan of yandere in general but like. if you wanna go that way N should get to be a lil violent and messed up too :(#as a treat-)#Multi rambles into the void-#No offense to anyone btw!! just- random opinion time-

im reading all my old hwu fanfics oh god.. like i was a decent writer but some of the stuff i wrote smh......... and like.. the ships. or one in particular. had to write for the most popular ship if i wanted anyone to read anything i wrote but please know that i HATED it
#if you know then you know#i didnt write much multi-chapter fic (mostly bc i like to plan things too much in advance) but that was the longest fanfic i wrote#idk where i ever got up to with posting it but the doc on my computer is 26k words#13 chapters + 1 paragraph of chapter 14#what a waste of my life lmao. like yeah im glad i wrote a lot for a few years there. definitely a good skill and some good practice#but yeesh#im sitting here reading it and it's from the LI's perspective (which i think was a great choice on my part lbr)#and im just like..........wtf are you doing you gross irresponsible adult man. like yeah danny's VERY stupid here but you're Much Worse#im also realising that danny is absolutely the precursor to my main hawke now. VERY similar personalities#personal#when i say i hated it.. it was fun to write because i enjoyed writing and i liked interpreting the existing dialogue we had in the quests#and turning it into an actual descriptive story. and i was good at it. i was good at writing characters and their feelings#i Really enjoyed writing that character. it just sucked that the ship was horrible and i felt like i had to pretend it wasnt#dethan was the actual good ship but - for all the talk i saw - people didnt actually read it#even the one fic i wrote with chris did waaay better (but tbf that's probably one of the best fics i ever wrote; the post-proposal one)#anyway. if im cringing while reading my old stuff it's not because it's badly written#it's because the way the characters behave already made me cringe when i wrote it lmao

yes!! it's very interesting to me that the fandom is so different from tgcf, despite overlapping quite a bit.
i think it's a little bit of a combination between different factors, like:
the audience seems generally older (tgcf, i've noticed, has a large teen audience, maybe because of the rating? svsss has a couple explicit scenes), and usually, in my experience, an older audience won't be engaged in drama as much
it's a deliberate parody novel that doesn't take itself too seriously (which i looove about it), so its readers don't take it too seriously either
and the novel itself, in my opinion, openly invites you to look beyond the main pairing (like with the extra where liu qingge seems convinced he's shen qingqiu's soulmate, but also yue qingyuan and shen qingqiu/jiu sharing a red string, and shen yuan having great chemistry with most characters)
also, despite it being translated into english by seven seas in 2021, it doesn't have any recently added material that pushes it onto people's radar (like with the tgcf donghua and revised version), thus leaving it to people that seek it out themselves (if that makes sense). svsss is, sad as it sounds, "outdated" in comparison, which could be the cause of it's open and easy going fandom!
The lack of shipping wars in the Scum Villian fandom is really fucking funny because we all ship different people with the main character Shen Qingqiu, and instead of fighting about it, we collectively decided that he deserves to have a harem consisting of every single guy in the book.
#excuse me for psycho-analysing your silly multi ship post#i had a lot of thoughts!#it made me think about why fandoms differ so much even when the source material is so closely related#i really think its an age thing tho#svsss so far to me seems to attract an ''older audience'' especially on tumblr#anyways#bingqiu and liushen are my favorites so far<3#but i looove me a little cumplane (god that shipname) on the side. as a treat#also yue qingyuan / shen yuan. so deliciously bittersweet#scum villian’s self saving system#svsss
