#or is this more of a reboot ship

[silverspleen]

Why yes I am still in War Criminal Ship Hell, thanks for asking!

Price/Gaz shippers, I was today years old before I learned of your existence. Please write me your manifesto. I get it, I think I get it at least, but your should tell me the storied history of your ship and your favorite element of the dynamic. Just to make sure I actually get what I think y'all are putting down.

I’m going to make these into mini keychains! Please use this poll if you would seriously want to buy one (Size: ~2.5”-3.5”, clear acrylic, 8USD each not including shipping & tax) Think of this almost like a preorder form~

Once poll closes, if there is enough interest I will go ahead and order what this poll reflects, which should take about two weeks. I will then make a separate post linking to my Etsy so you can go ahead and purchase them 💕 (Yes, I can ship internationally)

EDIT: You can now buy them here!

I’m gonna be honest I didn’t realize the new 52 messed with Kon that much till I read your post and now I can’t get over the potential. I’m a Tim/Kon girly at heart so I would devour anything you write exploring the 52 vs typical Kon. Also Time being in a clone sandwich is 👌.

the new-52 messed Kon up SO bad it's ridiculous. like, to the point i would personally argue he's a completely unrelated character to pre-Flashpoint/Rebirth Kon. his personality, his suit, his origin, all different. the only real similarities are the name and powerset. and even New-52!Kon's powers are slightly different from pre-Flashpoint!Kon. New-52!Kon is a clone of a future version of Jon Lane Kent, cloned by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. to provide genetic material to Jon Lane Kent, whose body was not handling being half human/half Kryptonian well, it was a whole thing. New-52!Kon is also where we get the infamous "Kon-El means 'abomination of the house of El' and Kara basically named him a slur in Kryptonian culture" tidbit, because that is the only time that's canon. (originally Kon-El was a name gifted by Clark to accept Kon as his family way back in the 90s) he also never went by Conner Kent. New-52!Kon just straight up didn't have any real human identity or connections, outside of being very close to Tim and some Titans.

the very TLDR of Kon's history is: during post-Crisis/pre-Flashpoint, a clone called Superboy is created by CADMUS. at first, he's considered to be a clone of a dude named Paul Westfield and is not Kryptonian whatsoever, he was simply made to look like Superman and only has Tactile Telekinesis as a power. then, it was made canon that actually he was a clone of Lex Luthor and Clark Kent, but Lex hid this fact and slowly, Kon developed more Kryptonian powers. he's given the name Kon-El by Clark, and is taken in by the Kents, getting the name Conner Kent. then Flashpoint happens, we get the New-52, and we're given the above version of Kon-El, who is a clone of Jon Lane Kent, created by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. who has mostly very strong telekinesis powers and some Kryptonian powers. he's with the Titans for a bit, then at the end of the New-52, he kills some aliens and feels bad about it so he decides to fuck off and is never seen again, it's presumed he's dead but never confirmed. then Rebirth happens and DC makes Jon Kent the current Superboy, we get Supersons and all that, and it's assumed that no version of Kon-El exists. just at all. he's not around whatsoever, Jon is our only Superboy. *but* in 2019, we get a new Young Justice run and the pre-Flashpoint Kon-El is back, and we're given the explanation of: Kon got accidentally teleported to this alternate realm called Gemworld and then Flashpoint happened, and since that was a Crisis Event that changed the timeline, the poor lad got *erased* from the timeline, causing most people to *not fucking remember him* and for him to remember a timeline that no longer exists. some of the Young Justice team vaguely remember him, Ma and Pa Kent remember him, but notably, Clark *does not remember him*. it's not an issue of "Clark ignored Kon in favor of Jon" it's an issue of "Kon was erased from the timeline and didn't exist for years bc he was stuck in Gemworld and Clark just doesn't remember Kon or Kon's timeline" which to me, is far more tragic but i digress. since then, Kon has been back and is present in most significant Superfamily runs, with his own recent mini-series, Superboy: Man of Tomorrow. (which was very good btw)

so basically: the New-52 fucked Kon up so bad they wrote him out of comics for years and then brought back the pre-Flashpoint version, but never *explicitly* killed the New-52 version off. so hypothetically, it's possible that there are currently two characters existing in the DC universe named Kon-El who have been Superboy. and like i said above, one of New-52!Kon's only real significant relationships was with Tim, it was the only thing the New-52 managed to get right about Superboy, his closeness to Tim. they have a *lot* of moments that read incredibly queer. and ofc, it's just outright confirmed in Dark Crisis: Young Justice that Tim had a crush on pre-Flashpoint!Kon at some point. so while comics are intent on pretending New-52!Kon doesn't exist, i am intent on putting Tim in a clone sandwich.

because i do think it's fun to play with Tim having genuine feelings and potentially a relationship with both of them. and the fucked up nature of him not fully *remembering* his relationship with pre-Flashpoint!Kon (which is a canon thing, in YJ(2019) Tim has vague memories of Kon he's struggling to piece together and understand why he cares about this guy he doesn't recognize so much) and how frustrating that is for Tim. he knows he loves Kon, but it's all foggy besides that. and so it's even *more* fucked up if Tim dated New-52!Kon before he got emo and ran off into the unknown. obviously in canon no one has told current Kon about New-52!Kon bc comics are doing the good ol' tried and true of "sweep that shit under the rug" but for fanfic, i think it's fun to ask the question of: would anyone *tell* Kon? especially Tim? who now remembers dating both versions of them? would he admit to Kon that briefly, he had another Kon? how would Tim cope with that and move on? personality wise, they could not be more different. they dress and act and look different. they're not the same person, but there's certainly a questionable factor of Tim's dating history including two Kon-Els.

the idea i've had for a while is Tim slowly starting to date pre-Flashpoint!Kon again. it feels familiar and like home. and Tim has grieved and accepted that wherever New-52!Kon is, he doesn't want to come home, he didn't love TIm enough to stay and try. so Tim takes the Kon he has, and genuinely has a happy relationship. like for once, life is good and things almost make sense for Tim. but then, of course, New-52!Kon comes back. he decides he wants to try again and he finds Tim. only to find well. he's been replaced. and technically, he's been replaced with the *original* that he didn't even know *existed*. and if being a clone is bad enough, that just makes it a hundred times worse. because imagine knowing you're actually the second Kon-El your boyfriend who you never *technically* broke up with fell in love with. that's gotta give you some kind of complex.

so i think it's fun if both Kons try to step back and let the other Kon date Tim. both of them have reasons to feel like the "replacement" or "fake" Kon, and it makes them incredibly awkward with each other. do they count as the same person? bc they definitely don't *feel* like the same person to each other, but with weird timeline stuff, who can really say. them settling on an awkward throuple that's really meant to be Tim just dating them both but somehow they end up dating each other too is so fun for me. they both feel like imposters to the Superboy name but are so deeply in love with Tim Drake, it's the one thing truly connecting them. and then of course, Tim feels bad in that somehow, he's betraying both of them for having feelings for the other. but they make it work, with a lot of awkward angst and miscommunication. i just think it'd be fun. very difficult to write to get all the weird timeline nuances down in a way that's understandable in a fanfic (bc you can't just. infodump like i did on this post) but doable. also difficult to tag, because even though i argue these are two different characters, i'm pretty sure Ao3 groups them under the same character tag. so it'd be difficult to convey it's not *really* as selfcest-y as it would imply. comics, man. DC will never acknowledge New-52!Kon again, and he's admittedly a terrible adaptation of Kon-El, but. i think he was sort of neat in his own right and i'd *love* for DC to just inexplicably bring him back and make the current Kon deal with the consequences of all that. and them make Tim kiss them both. obviously.

bro it's been 9 years activision please

[canonically47]

nowen, aleheather, rajbow, mkulia, axeripper, calepriya, damizee, all together in one fic sounds like a fever dream. but that's gonna be real in a while with Total Drama: The Bridge Between Generations ;)

[anakinetenno]

They have such a cool dynamic, it’d be interesting to have a Dan and Elise focused episode (besides The Ski Trip)

[maddythesadone]

me when I like two ships and it's just a pretty girl with the most weirdest boys as her crushes

[cecelianonymous22]

Ive never watched anything other than the original TDI and a good chunk of clips from the TDI reboot season 1

Ive more just watched the analysis videos and BHultra's annual infodumps

Yet i was on ao3 last night going through rajbow fics because hello i need more of the canon queer couple in my life i love them

Also because i was hoping trans bowie would be a semi popular headcanon

Anyway

I saw one fic that like,,tagged wayne as having adhd and raj with autism

Which in canon, from what i have seen of them, no, i genuinely think they're just two separate flavors of dumbass

,,,but with the way these guys are written in fics, my audhd ass is like woag they so me fr

i hope the folks planning on resurrecting Supernatural [re:jackles] are taking notes on what's happening in the 9-1-1 fandom and with this Buck character right now. i know next to nothing about this show, but i do know that 'Buddie' is a major mlm ship between two guy friends and that this guy Buck - a strong macho man in his 30s - has just been canonised as BISEXUAL! with a MLM kiss! after SIX seasons! the subtext was there all along but the network was not on board, by the sounds of it; a change of network saw this queercoded middle-aged male character finally set free. no more subtext, no insinuations that could be interpreted one way or another, just undeniable beautiful text. 

i'm thrilled for everyone in the 9-1-1 fandom and for this positive queer rep in media! here’s hoping other shows will take note - namely Supernatural. Dean has 15 seasons of queer subtext under his belt and he would now be in his mid 40s. it’s never too late to canonise a queer character. characters are never too old to realise they’re queer. this is such an important message, and while i can’t speak for the buckgirls i can say that queer deangirls have been relating to his queercoding for almost 2 decades, including 15 seasons of bi!Dean and 12 seasons of Destiel. seeing a character like Buck come out as queer after SIX seasons (i’ll keep saying it, it’s fucking amazing) is such a win not just for queer folk but for good storytelling; i know there were likely obstacles in finally getting here, and it would be great if queer characters could come out whenever they want instead of struggling against tptb, but six seasons has given the show a wonderful amount of time to delve into Buck’s character and journey with him through various plotlines. as a fan of the slow burn for romance, and a good amount of time for character development to play out, i love that there’s six whole seasons of Buck backstory to delve into for the leadup to his bisexual canonisation.

happy bi day Buck, may you inspire more creative control to cater to the characters instead of some suit in an office who’s never even seen your show and doesn’t care about your journey and narrative freedom. today is a great day.

(the first gif is Buck’s first mlm kiss. the second gif is a moment from a gay comedy called Looking that many people have pointed out perfectly encapulates how a Destiel kiss might play out on screen.)

I think that it's possible to believe that being the love interest is good for a black female character, that spuhura is a popular ship that has the fandom in a chokehold, that fans made it even more beautiful, and still recognize that 2009 spuhura wasn't greenlighted out of love for black feminism but rather to try to extinguish any gay readings of spock

[rococovirgo]

i was gonna remake the lil character bio pages for these two but with how long those took, i'm just gonna post the sketched out redesigns instead :') later on i'll draw some fancy art of these two when i get a day off work again

i also slightly altered how they both kinda exist and why ragdoll is considered modern with like, a really basic timeline i made that shows the change and how they technically are different

there is a bit more detail but i kept it simple for now, i may draw how ragdoll basically came to be and how they ended up separated from the show itself with no memory of it vrsiondko

[nosygay]

watching gossip girl to get in the Halloween spirit because these romance plotlines are some of the scariest things I've ever seen

[no1ryomafan]

Me: Taking off my ship goggles, while the polycule jokes are funny the intention with the Getter Team was less romance and more so a strong friendship that turns into brotherhood. It’s still about how relationships are important, but less of the angle of love and more of having comrades will make facing conflicts easier, even if you may be ripped away from your friends-

Also me: There is absolutely zero platonic explanation without shipping goggles on to explain why the FUCK Ryoma said “oh so you want me to bite you?” in such a playful tone with a grin on his face to Hayato simply calling him a watchdog, that’s straight up flirting.

Ideas pt 22 I WOULD WANT THIS IN THE REBOOT

I NEED LESBIAN RAMONA BAD WOLF! I NEED LESBIAN RAMONA BAD WOLF! I NEED LESBIAN RAMONA BAD WOLF!

IF EAH EVER GOT A REBOOT I NEED LESBIAN RAMONA BAD WOLF! I want her to meet someone at school who's like her! A bit of a troublemaker, breaks the rules, and people fear a little. She's like Ramona but not completely. She gets detention, is a solid C to B student, and people do cower when she's near. She wears leather and fannels (they have similar styles too!) She has auburn hair that's always in a messy bun. Now I don't know who she is BUT I WANT HER. Ramona is higher than A list as the scariest person there. While she is like C or D. She's been suspended a few times. But Romona holds the record for the most in school history lol

I DON'T WANT RAMONA AND THE OPPOSITE, SWEET, KIND GENTAL S/O WHO LOVES PINK AND ALL THAT! NO TRYING TO MAKE HER A BETTER PERSON OR KNOWING THAT SPOT BEHIND HER EARS THAT MAKES HER MELT AND LEAN INTO HER TOUCH! NOPE! I WANT THEM TO BE BADASS SCARY DORKS IN LOVE!

I WANT THEM TO PUT THEIR EDOWS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER HEADS, TO WRESTLE, TO THROW PAPER BALLS AND PLANES AT EACH OTHER IN CLASS THEN END UP BEING SENT TO DETENTION BLAMING THE OTHER THE WHOLE TIME!

I WANT HER TO SECRETLY MISS RAMONA WHEN SHE GETS SUSPENDED (Which is ALL THE TIME lol) AND FOR RAMONA TO TEASE AND MAKE FUN OF THEM SAYING THAT THEY MISSED HER (doesn't know she actually did miss her. She won't ever tell her that though. Won't even admit to herself.)

I WANT CERISE TO TEASE AND MAKE FUN OF ROMONA FOR HAVING A CRUSH! I WANT ASHLYNN TO SHIP THEM! I WANT RAVEN AND HUNTER TO SUPPORT THEM! I WANT APPLE TO BE JUDGEY AT FIRST BUT GET USED TO THEM AND SHIP THEM AFTER SHE GETS TOGETHER WITH DARLING!

I WANT HER TO ACCIDENRLY FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT HER FAMILY AND ROMONA GETS MAD AT THEM, SAYS A FEW THINGS AND WALKS AWAY AND INGORE HER FOR A FEW DAYS EXPECTING HER TO BLAB IT TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL AND THEN AFTER A WEEK PUSHES HER FROM BEIND BY THE ARM AND SLANS HER AGAINST THE WALK LOCKING HER IN WITH HER ARMS GROWLING AT HER FOR WHY SHE HASN'T TOLD ANYONE YET! ("Oh so NOW you want to talk to me?" *crosses her arms* "Enough with the crap! Why haven't you told anyone yet?! What are you waiting for?!" "For your information, I haven't told anyone!" *scoffs* "Yeah right! Now who did you tell!? Blondie? Grimm?" "I just said I haven't told anyone dog breath! In fact, I'm not going to tell anyone! Not Blondie, Not HM Grimm, Not ANYBODY!" "B-BUT YOU" "If you would have let me finish talking instead of storming off like a baby you would have heard me tell you I wasn't going to say anything!" *Huffs and looks away while her arms are still crossed* *Ramona is speechless and puts down her arms* "W-Why?" "Because it's none of my business that's why! I don't care who your family is!" "Oh." "Yeah oh!" "Well, you better not!" *points a claw at her* *holds her hands out in defense* "Relax, I'm not. Now can we go eat lunch?" *The bell rings* "UGHHH! Great! Now I'm going to starve for the rest of the day!" *Romona talks her hand dragging her out of school ignoring her asking where they're going* *They end up a bit beyond the school's ground and into an Apple orchard* "What are we doing here?" "You said you were hungry right?" *Climbs up and a tree lays back comfortably on its branches and throws her a bright red juicy apple* *Catches it* They spend the whole day rest of the day together eating apples and throwing the cores at each other as if nothing happened while the narrators talk about friendship and all that stuff.

Everytime I see the huge difference in ghostsoap content vs ghostroach content I just think about how us Roach fans could've had it all if activision just added our boy in the reboots :')
