Rejoice and come together! All self shippers/oc makers. Please share your wonderful inserts or original characters for my eyeballs to behold. 👀 oh and make sure to share the other half (or multiple parts) of your ship!

I just really want to give people an excuse to share their ship. If this goes well, I'll make more posts with other fandoms, cause god knows I can!

And heck, canon shippers rejoice too! I wanna hear your favorite lost boys ship in general and why. 💞

Positivity for the ship Salo x Steb from Arcane, for an anon

I like the idea of this ship, mainly because I love what you'd brought up to make it toxic. It's a very interesting idea to see people brought together, seemingly clash horribly, but then ship them too ♡

Salo getting on Steb for being mute, being non-human, and even being smaller than others of his class is such a good way to highlight the toxic yaoi of it all. Even better yet is that means it'd make him a much...rougher person in the relationship.

Steb, being mute, might not even be able to go to anyone if he's unhappy. Not that Salo would let him, either.

I just think whenever there's such a heavy power imbalance, along with degredation and taking advantage of another character's heart and kindness, it makes for such an interesting dynamic.

Plus still, it shows a dark feeling about Salo's own disability, which is further something to watch for. His own hatred and feelings toward Steb's mutism can reveal his feelings about himself, in some ways.

It doesn't even matter that it might be considered a crack-ship. Some of the best ships have never even met ♡ -Spirit

even if it kind of feels like im not paying attention to the actual plot of the source material and just looking for excuses to ship them?

No.

You're allowed to enjoy whatever part of media you want!!! Yes, even if it's just the ships! ❤️❤️❤️

himiko/tenko

Send me a ship and I'll talk about it!

Ah, one of the more popular f/f ships out there! Let's talk about that, shall we?

The dynamic between Tenko and Himiko is that of a sunny day and a gloomy rainstorm. Himiko is a character that showcases a lot of symptoms of depression (which are often attributed to her "laziness") and while Tenko isn't undamaged herself, she's a beacon of almost blindingly bright hope to Himiko. To move forward and express your big emotions without a care in the world, to see the sunny days, to express a childlike wonder despite having grown older--those are things Himiko admires about Tenko, I think. She is inspired by Tenko to move forward with her life, and to find joy and happiness within it, despite the horrible feelings Himiko has been facing.

What I personally like about this ship: it has that "opposites attract" vibe, as I stated earlier with Himiko having depression and Tenko being this energetic ray of sunshine. I think having a positive influence on your life when you're in your darkest moment is really good for the soul. I love how Tenko enthusiastically cheers Himiko on, even when Himiko couldn't see it for herself. Sometimes when you're at your lowest, such positivity can feel harsh or even painful and uncomfortable. I imagine when Himiko learns to love herself a little more, that Tenko's love for her will shine the brightest--and it will be a welcomed, relieving thing.

what are your thoughts on Batfam x Batfam (batcest i think?) ships

I’ve got no problem with them at all!

I usually like to go more with the gen batfam stuff because I love the found family trope, but I’ve also read my fair share of ship fics. It all boils down to an interesting premise, and/or if the tags/triggers are something I’m comfortable with.

There are definitely some of those ship fics sitting in my bookmarks right now for a frequent reread ✨ and eventually I will probably write a fic like that, too. So it’s always good to check the tags 💚

Of course there’s also some ship constellation that I don’t read, personally. But that’s my own personal preference, and everyone else is free to enjoy it at their leisure 🙌

I dunno who needs to hear this but fiction doesn't make you a bad person

Don't feel bad about writing or drawing murder, That's okay and valid!

Don't feel bad about writing or drawing things that people disagree with, if it makes you happy and feel better (so long as it's tagged correctly) then it's completely valid!

Don't feel bad about posting your ship art in the main tags, Art is art and you should be proud and do so!

Don't feel bad about changing your favorite character in a show to a completely different person, They can be whoever you want them to be!

Don't feel bad for liking things in fiction, It doesn't represent real life!

Art and writing is a good way to get rid of trauma and to get rid of bad feelings in general, Or it can just be fun! Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. I love you no matter what

🫂

Feel free to add on any tags! Rbs are welcome and encouraged! Anyone can interact!

[minty-playhouse]

Been seeing this on tags a lot lately and I'm here to tell you all this: there's nothing embarrassing/shameful/cringy/whatever about shipping.

You don't have to apologize for your ships in your tags/posts in any way. If someone is bothered by shipping they can curate their timeline/account/dash. It's not your obligation to tailor what you blog/talk about for others, specially when it's something as silly as shipping!

Babble about your blorbos kissing and whatnot as much as you want!

Positivity for the ship Silco x Steb from Arcane, requested by an anon!

First off, I must preface by saying I haven't seen Arcane, so all info I get is just from the wiki.

That being said, this does seem like an interesting ship to explore. Steb is brave, and quiet, and valiant. It would take a lot to turn him away from that, but Silco 'corrupting' a hero also has its own issues.

Silco does what he wants, that much is obvious. If he saw a cute, young thing, and wanted it, I could see him doing anything to have Steb. He's the type to have Steb kidnapped just to get to speak with him.

There's lots of chances for very cute and wholesome scenes with the two, from different worlds and different ages, coming together and understanding each other more.

On the other hand, there's also lots of chances for dubcon, angst, and misunderstanding. More often than not, their personalities are likely to clash. Less so with Steb being introverted, but still some.

On top of all of that, Gilco is an amazing name for the ship, I haven't seen many really good ship names that isn't just names pushed together, but that very much is one!

Daisuke x Taichi for the ship game? 👀

Oh, that's an interesting one! Young!me had quite a fondness for their relationship - which may have been influenced by the fact that they were one of the first ships (or "pairings", as we used to call it back then) I had ever found yaoi doujinshis about...

While I would say that their relationship was HEAVILY underutilized in 02 and onwards and that they should have been paralleled a lot more in a lot of situations... I like the way their senpai-kouhai dynamic is being played. Daisuke looks up to (and probably idolizes) Taichi in several aspects and it shows - from their shared love for football to him wearing goggles and putting tons of gel into his hair to imitate the floofy-cool style... From a platonic angle, Taichi may very well be the big sibling Daisuke would always have liked to have. From a more romantic angle, I'd be the first to claim that Daisuke's crush on Hikari is him trying very hard to compensate for the way it was actually the older Yagami who caused him all sorts of confusing feelings - and made him question his preferences very early on... Might have a bit of a one-sided crush (like a hurt puppy that would like to be pampered by the person he admires and adores), but that's what makes it so endearing to me.

Again, I believe there is a lot we haven't seen; judging by their individual development as they get older and as Daisuke grows more into his own person (indicated by the way he is NOT copying Taichi's hairstyle anymore in Kizuna onwards), I am sure Taichi could also take away a lot from Daisuke's never-ending positivity.

[doesyourshipmakeyouabadperson]

No.

Not even if you're repulsed by other ships involving the characters.

[popironrye]

I don't normally reblog ship discourse, but it's literally this easy. And uncomfy can be a WHOLE list of reasons, from the legit morally questionable choices like compship to complete non issue things such as simply not liking the character being shipped. You are allowed to simply just not like a ship for any reason. But don't act like blasting another shipper in their comments, their dms, or worst trying to get others to blast them in a 'call out' post for not shipping a fictional character in the same ways you do doesn't make YOU the weird one in this scenario.
