#shipper complaint

[teafiend]

As a fixated shipper, it is quite frustrating that this drama had few scenes of them together in one frame facing the viewers although there were no lack of interactions, due to the angles they utilized prominently for the show. I mean, I love the framing and angles dearly (Jung Eun Chae and Kim Jae Uck truly have the most beautifully entrancing of side profiles, and the style employed for the show did them a lot of justice), but they are exasperating, nonetheless.

This is my main complaint - as a shipper - for this beloved show 😫🥺🤪

sometimes i think some people in this fandom believe they own the characters they like, and this turns fandom experience into such a toxic and unhealthy one. caring and worrying about a character is very different than disliking anything it's done to them because it doesn't please you and your idea of their personality and who they should associate with.

this begs the question as well, how much is this about Agatha and how much this is actually about just petty hatred/dislike towards Wanda and canon discourse towards Rio? because, in the dawn of Agatha All Along's release, she's been the least one talked of in comparison to her witch mates in some corners of this fandom.

[author's note: it's just so funny to see some clearly biased complaints about recent events in the mcu and the comics, such as Agatha's deaging in the recent runs of the comics. it's obvious that she's been deaged, and it's very ill-intentioned to bissfully ignore the exact time period that her character was first de-aged and redesigned: after Wandavision and Kathryn's Agatha. i thought this was obvious, but since it evidently isn't, Kathryn's Agatha isn't Hagatha. it makes much more sense to match a character that has always been secondary and related to others, without well-defined appearance, and with the ability to age herself down, to its more popular mcu counterpart. also, why complain about a character that hasn't even been released yet, that we don't know a single official thing about, not being inserted in the comics? when said character is rumoured to be a genderbent version of an already existing character i.e Emerald Warlock? so now everything is bad because a single character that never even existed until a few months ago isn't inserted in everything that pertains Agatha's storyline and Agatha's only? are you even listening to yourselves? how come Agatha allegedly being ever-tied to Wanda is such an awful issue, but suddenly her being tied to Rio isn't? are the double standards in the room with us right now? these are just a few issues and complaints i have, and i feel it's high time they were voiced]

heheheh I need to make art of my favorite ship, no it's not just nuzi

I'm over here reblogging all the adorable nuvzi/dapper trio propaganda after the finale, but I'm here for thnuzi/triscuit shipping

I can't claim credit for the idea - Imogen and Laudna corruption arc has floated around for a while - but honestly I'm not sure why this is coming up as some kinda gotcha for me? I'd fucking love that honestly. It would completely validate my statement that they are insular and toxic and often acting against the interests of the rest of the party AND either it would end with interesting character growth or with them departing and being replaced by new characters. I'd be excited for either!

me finally understanding why i prefer skk over sigzai even though sigzai is tailor made for me

sigma and dazai see parts of themselves in each other. sigma is a young kid (three year old casino owner is CRAZY) at his core. dazai is too, don’t get me wrong—his constant childish personality is both a facade and the part of himself he wishes he could have back—but it feels very different in a way. dazai puts in so much effort to keep sigma around because sigma is like fifteen dazai. a young child at his heart who has been dealt such a horrible hand that he becomes cold and unwilling.

i think that’s why i cant ship them even if I wanted to—it’s like dazai taking care of himself when he was fifteen. that, and it feels like the friendships formed in primary school. so for me it’s like shipping two eight year olds together if that makes sense. i love their dynamic and i really hope sigma’s alive but skk and their history remain supreme. sigzai shippers ur actually iconic and I understand u sm but this is just my take :] feel free to disagree.

my proof of this lies in the dancing scene mainly. like you could not look me in the eyes and tell me that isn’t primary school kids learning how to waltz. it’s so endearing omg. it’s dazai dragging sigma into this childish display, with sigma protesting like “bitch get ur hands off of me” and dazai just hums along. reminds him of himself. he’d probably react similarly. or maybe sigma’s reaction is akin to chuuya’s, but that’s a WHOLE different can of worms.

everyone in the tag is so disappointed with this season and it's baffling to me? to me, the parts that didn't work so well are dwarfed by everything that did work, especially episodes like Napkins and Ice Chips

It's very interesting to see how what platform you're on informs the fandom experience you get, and how certain fandoms seem to basically insulate themselves on one platform. Part of why it's been so hard to not rely on twitter primarily is that that's where the dmc (and specifically spardacest) fandom is, for the most part - you'll get some traction elsewhere too, sure, but if you REALLY wanna engage with the community, twitter's the place to be. (and I'm not talking about it for clout or numbers' sake - I'm talking about like. Purely the feeling of finding more people who like what you like, people you can talk to, get inspired by, have fun with - if your fandom is just you, your one friend and two non-english speaking artists who stopped posting 5 years ago... well, you can still have fun, but it can feel pretty isolating, too) With red dead, I came into it a bit resigned already because the reason i checked it out in the first place is that my boyfriend's best friend got him into it earlier this year, and he's been in my ear about it since (if he's reading this: ily and i say that lovingly lol), and I finally caved to see what the buzz was all about - but that friend, despite being a very successful artist on twitter, ended up discouraged by how crickets it seemed over there - like it was really just the two of them and a couple more friends interacting, and I just assumed that's the landscape I'd be setting foot into, so I was very ready to just be making art, as usual, because for me it's a primal need, just for me and my boyfriend and a couple of our friends, and if people outside that ended up enjoying it it would probably be just a happy fluke. But I feel like I ended up receiving quite a warm welcome here and over on bsky! I've been digging deep into tags and it seems a lot more alive here than twitter, haha. I'm still really only expecting to put out stuff for a couple people at most, but I'm happy to be proven wrong :)

Honestly, just something that I think a lot of people in fandom should keep in mind when your first thought to how someone else experiences fandom is anger. It might be time to step back, or at least curate your fandom experience more so that it's what YOU want. Life is easier and happier that way

girl maybe i just dont like the way lelana shippers sometimes talk about them

[coffinsister]

I just heard somebody genuinely complain that they feel like they are watching a children's tv show when watching the Disney series adaption of Percy Jackson

I-???? Well yeah???? What were you expecting??? It's a children's book??? It's a series where all the main actors are 13 or younger what the hell did you think it was gonna be about

Diss the series and diss Rick Riordan all you want for making stupid character after stupid character but you can't hate on the series for not appealing to your 30 year old self as much as it used to appeal to your 15 year old self what

Just some personal observations.

Unhinged Sukuna-stans: Accidentally makes Sukuna an idiot in their takes.

Unhinged Gojo-stans: Accidentally makes Gojo useless in their takes.

Unhinged Sukugo/Gosuku Shippers: Actually makes the best takes on both Gojo and Sukuna (imho).

So last week (last year lol) I made a post annoyed by Sam's absence from What if? - a culmination of my general frustration at his absence since TFATWS ended.   And like... in hindsight I wish I'd left out the line about Peggy, cos that clearly invited a certain crowd, and yeeeah, some of the comments added to it are the definition of A Bit Much.

I still don't like the character, and I doubt that will really change. She was always just a side character that I was rather meh on, and I'm not a fan of the actress in general.  But the level of vitriol that I've seen lately isn't doing it for me. 

Like, why am I spending my New Years feeling mad at a cartoon? Truly a touch grass moment. 🤣😭

Going back to quietly missing Sam and filling the void with wonderful fics from the (real) Sam Wilson Appreciation community.

not entirely sure what's been going on recently but (and feel free to send an ask /reply explaining to me)

people that got into rain world pre-downpour and people who got into rain world post-downpour aren't a different fandom

i think it is important to have positive spaces for both discussing the love of vanilla and the love of downpour because they have differences but it's still all rain world

peace and love on planet rain

Got through the second episode of the newest season of The Bear and I honestly don't know what everyone is bitching about, that's my super dysfunctional restaurant family and I missed them so much.

Romantic love and friendship love are not mutually exclusive and feeling one does not inherently cheapen or negate the other. There's a reason friends-to-lovers is such a popular ship type.
