#so I love coming across a pairing that’s like. wtf. and not in an ick way either. just…HUH? baffling

[redshoes-blues]

Sometimes I come across the most random ship on ao3 and I’m like…how did this happen. Like I’m so curious. I need to hear the author of the fic explain how these random characters who have never met in their media and have nothing in common are perfect for each other. Because they clearly have a vision that I’m not seeing and I want to see the vision!

Ship rant

Finally figured out why I don’t like sukufushi ships so much. It’s because in most of the fics Megumi has no agency. I’ve read like five where he’s written with a backbone.

Like just cause Megumi is quiet doesn’t mean he wouldn’t fight back. His whole arc is him literally being on the verge of suicide because of how much he fights back.

Sukuna will abuse, beat, etc this boy and Megumi just takes it and doesn’t fight back yet somehow they’re in love. The power dynamics are so skewed like what?

Every time he’s paired with Sukuna, he’s almost always turned into a trans man or omega boy (which fine that’s your kink go off) but why is it only ever Megumi and never Sukuna oh it’s cause yall feminize and fetishize Megumi to the extreme.

Whereas when Sukuna is paired with Yuji, Yuji fights back, the relationship dynamics seem more even. Even in the fics where Yuji is a trans man or omega boy, he still has more power and agency, he gets to fight back. Yuji isn’t fetishized the same way cause he’s buff and roguish.

The same shit happens in itafushi fics where Megumi is the bottom, they put so much focus on him being girly and feminine and it reeks of fetishization. Yuji is this buff man with a huge dick and Megumi is so tiny and just takes it like wtf?! (Not taking about PWPs btw)

Just normal fics. He has no agency he’s just this pseudo weak little anime or k drama girl stand in but has Megumi’s name and looks.

The same shit gets applied to Inumaki as well just cause he’s pretty/effeminate (which he’s not he’s just short and skinny?!?)

There’s nothing wrong with liking pretty men or effeminate men but the fetishizing starts to get weird af when you can almost never find a normal story that doesn’t focus on how soft and pretty and tiny he is.

This is a thing across the board in all fandoms. (Draco Malfoy for one but he gets to keep his snark and personality, so does Dean Winchester and Stiles, etc they all get to stay pushy and sarcastic and aggressive despite being feminized in fanfics ) but for some reason Megumi doesn’t and it just gives me the ick. (Lowkey Dick Grayson has the same issue but this ain’t about him)

If you ship sukufushi this ain’t at you persay just the type of fics I’ve come across one to many times.

I guess all I’m saying is if you’re gonna make Megumi a uke at least give him a backbone or something man.

Also just cause a man is pretty and thin doesn’t mean he’s a uke for real. Y’all really ignored Megumi’s dominating ass personality, the way he bosses Yuji around, straight up ain’t afraid to die to fight Sukuna or whoever and twinkified him cause he’s pretty. 🙄

And dadified Yuji the same man who legit has an almost canon praise kink, housewife skills, and does whatever anyone tells him too ok.

Once I saw a J*ronica Stan requesting Bughead and Varchie fanart specifically so they could redraw them as J*ronica. I don't even know if that's allowed but just thinking about seeing my favourite pieces of fanart corrupted that way made me ick

Hello dollface! 

Well I don’t know why they’d want bughead or varchie art? If they were just going to redraw them anyway, why the need? Meh, not my circus and all that. Like, for real, I don’t like the ship but I don’t think they shouldn’t be allowed to ship it. 

I think they should embrace it as the crack ship it is and enjoy their part of the fandom without being trolly and rude to the other shippers because they’re upset they’re not getting what they want. Which, dude, I get. I feel that on a cellular level. I watched a pairing I love get a story line, then watched as she got fridged for his man pain. 

That blew. Did I go off on other shippers who were getting canon romances? No. It’s not their fault they ship something that worked in their favor. Do I go off on ronmione shippers because they’re canon and my crackship of dramione isn’t a thing? No. Because I’m an adult for one and also self aware of what it is the ship is. To make their ship happen, I personally feel they’d have to destroy their characters, disregard everyone they love now, and then what? And in canon? 

The expectation that they’re owed the ship because they ship it is the real issue to me. Jughead doesn’t owe them anything. He’s not betraying them by loving Betty. If anything, to me, it’s kind of shitty to expect canon to destroy their characters to make something happen just for them. Basically it seems to be, when I do stumble across it, a lot of Betty hate, wanting their fave to get the bad boy (which makes me think they don’t get Jug at all tbh), thinking daddy issues creates a bond (uh, wtf? also, Betty’s dad is a serial killer? if anything she and Veronica should be bonding over bad dads over anyone else), and rich girl/poor boy aesthetic. Oh, and hEiGhT dIfFeReNcEs. 

All things, that btw, work for bughead but I’m not out here telling people what to do. I think, genuinely think, they’d be happier if they loved it for what it is instead of working themselves up over stuff that means nothing. And coming to bughead blogs to troll? Lame. Which, for the record, if I get more of, we’ll go on a bughead gif journey so, whatever. 

TL;DR- Ship what you want, love what you want. Stop thinking creators owe you something just because you like it. Stop being dicks to the people who are shipping what’s canon. I don’t see them on varchie or veggie blogs, you feel me? Which makes me think they resent just how obvious Jughead is in his love for Betty. Also lame. Character assassination to please a small group of people is a bad look. Self awareness and maturity is always classy, they should really try it on for size. 

This is not actually a jeronimo hate blog, it’s a bughead blog. So, let’s end it with what’s really important. Bughead.
