#or to be fond of anything in general

yknow i say im a huge multishipper but i wouldnt actually consider myself much of a shipper at all. just open to the idea of trying everything once. the term has typically romantic connotations and follows the assumption that i think, and want, these characters to be good for eachother.

I'm, personally, less interested in the prexisting chemistry than i am in the puzzle of figuring out what differing circumstances could potentially cause two characters who have seemingly nothing in common to become eachothers everything.

This could explain my favorism towards rarepairs and more convoluted dynamics, and my aversion to popular, fluffy pairings that have already been explored a thousand times over, there's no work for me to do there.

Not to mention that when a ship becomes too popular it starts cannibalising itself, and lots of good, interesting characterisations are lost in the sea of people bending characters into pre-orchestrated, saccharine dynamics. alot of which are usually downright fetishy in nature, particularly in mlm pairings.

I mean i would say being able to get ooc and self indulgent is downright mandatory for making a good fic, but there's only so many times i have to read a fic about a big, overprotective, manly-man top who does all the work and the shy, small, swoony, softhearted femme-wifey-bottom before it starts to just be lazy.

I actively have to go out of my way to search 'switch' tags if i want true-to-the-character, mutual emotional reciprocation. which i really, really shouldn't have to do as an ace person who actively skips through nsfw.

And it's not that popular wlw pairings aren't guilty of these problems aswell, but those tend to lean more into the 'soft lesbians who can do no wrong' stereotype, which always completely (butch)ers all nuisance that makes the ship worth shipping in the first place.

As well as that's if they're even the focus of the story at all and aren't just shoved to the side by the main mlm couple. mlw pairings can be culpable of both these things, with the added risk that you find out the author made a twitter post with the characters in front of the 'super straight' flag.

Though i also wonder if me being aspec plays any part as again; im not as interested in the romantic aspects as i am in the possible hurdles they may face throughout the potential relationship.

Anyone else feel like this?

Not Tumblr meta turning me into a Spuffy shipper. Not Tumblr meta at all.

The fact that Mollymauk hides his worship of the Moonweaver by pretending to serve the Platinum Dragon—and everything about the, “I am your god, long may I reign,” scene is just so funny to me because…it makes it feel like the Moonweaver is fine with blasphemy as long as she personally finds it funny.

Artagan misleading his followers and masquerading as the Moonweaver? Potentially deceiving them for some nefarious means? Absolutely not. Molly indulging in every luxury and lounging around in nothing but a tapestry of the Platinum Dragon’s image, declaring himself a god? Hilarious—

(Also, given that the Platinum Dragon has saints, do the Moonweaver and other gods have them too? Asking for silly Mollymauk reasons—)

Also I've been in this fandom for like 2.5 seconds approximately and I don't respect a single one of y'all BUT cmiiw the girlypop high femme lesbian mommy etcetc whatever PSH is a fairly new development isn't it. Like my first bias was Sanini but then I realized HJ is a diversely creative fairy prince who wears half-skirts, paints his nails and talks about fashion for men AND women and I was like O YES HI HELLO THIS ONE'S MINE HI. It's fascinating that apparently there's a whole genre of fans who see Joongie as the masculine dom to Hwa's willow-waisted femme omega bottom when like... They both have "masculine" and "feminine" traits. Above all that they're cool fun guys and I like them a lot (assigning gender to personality trait is finest grade dumbassery, not to mention gender essentialism. I don't recommend doing that)

if someone doesn’t grasp how misogyny is baked so deeply in our society from the jump, have them try for even a SECOND to make a pinterest board for a cinderella au with a male cinderella stand in because Jesus Christ it’s physically impossible to look for any variation of male-cinderella-aesthetic and not just get pictures of princes

Gosh, I haven't seen Johnny Toast and Johnny Ghost in so long! Here's hoping this doesn't pull me into my old AU obsession again :P

Hehehe you of all people would know lmaooo you were right there with me

Yea that's them :] or at least my shoplifted versions that I'm running away to write with and saying here's my fun new guys after I found them in a wet cardboard box on the side of the street. And if anyone makes the connection back to their source material then shhhhhh 🤫

And if it does bring back your interest, then enjoy! I had fun redesigning them and rethinking them <3 mostly just in relation to some of my other OC lore :]]]

hot bully take: there are so many complex group relationship dynamics being portrayed in bully and im honestly tired of how the fandom waters most of them down to "oh theyre all besties"

[jinstronaut]

anyways being a mean girl on the internet at a grown age in a space where the thing we’re celebrating is so meaningful and lovely is such a bad take

to meee :3 akechi and sumire arent exactly friends throughout january, (they only get really close several years later) but as a side effect of neither having anything better to do and the two constantly haunting kichijoji i think they inevitably fall together more often than not. ren takes sumire out for darts and shes weirdly better than she was last time (sidebar but the fact that sumire and akechi both mimic your throws but sumire sucks shit at darts too much for it to do any good is so cute) and shes like oh yeah akechi-san has been teaching me. oh wow i got a forty! unaware of the way she just blew rens mind.
