Should....

Should I make a poll involving ships?

Just for the hell of it?

I can't write for the life of me, but I've just thought of a tasty soulmate-fic premise (romantic or platonic!):

When their eyes are closed, a soulmate can see what their other half sees.

Whether it's super clear, or just impressions, or perhaps the more one stares at something the clearer it gets, just imagine the potential.

Soulmates taking turns to close their eyes and communicate through notes to find eachother. Soulmates who know when the other's fallen asleep because it's completely dark on the other side. Soulmates who can't sleep because their other half is somewhere way too bright and have to write passive-aggressive notes asking if they could "please turn the lights down!" Soulmates who are bored and would rather watch the others everyday life, no matter how mundane. Soulmates who's friends and/or family make fun of them for zoning out to watch through their other halves eyes instead of paying attention.

And then, on the other hand? The angst potential is delicious-

Soulmates who are so desperate to stop their other half from knowing that they wear a blindfold, or straight up blind themselves, to prevent it. Soulmates who hate the thought of someone intruding on their private lives, whether they're meant to be together or not. Soulmates who have terrible home/work lives and hope against hope that their other half doesn't find out or worse. Soulmates who are abused or get into fights often, trying their damnedest to protect their eyes above all else. Soulmates who's eyes are damaged, accidentally or otherwise, terrified of the thought that their other half won't ever be able to find them.

There are so so many ways you can swing this:

One soulmate afraid that their other half had died, having never been able to see through their eyes. Their soulmate was born blind, and managed to see things they thought they never could/would thanks to their soulmate.

Soulmates that met during childhood, living their lives as a whole, using their connection for simple, silly, domestic reasons.

Familial soulmates! Twins who aren't quite psychic but know what the other is doing all of the time. Siblings who are stuck with eachother and pretend to hate it, but are secretly glad they'll always have the other. Found family where it feels like they've always had the other and are impossible to separate.

Long-distance soulmates, teaching eachother about where they were born/grew up, showing eachother things precious to eachother.

Daytime Vs Nighttime soulmates who are barely ever awake at the same time, treasuring those in-between moments.

Soulmates with nightmares, one waking up in a panic, blinking hard and trying to calm down as quickly as possible. The other getting glimpses of the aftermath as they blink, perhaps rushing to their side if they can, comforting their distressed soulmate.

College/University AU soulmates knowing too much about their other halves area of study. Writing eachother notes to go to bed or to eat when they both forget and stay up studying way too late.

Assassin/Spy AU soulmates, using their bond to complete their missions as effectively as possible. Or perhaps the assassin/spy's soulmate is their target. Especially tasty if you throw in undercover work.

I could write a million of these prompts-

the PJO -> Voltron -> My Hero Academia pipeline is so funny to me. like yeah we all know - you were into PJO, got into VLD in ~2016 when the entire pjo fandom moved over there, and in the last two seasons you jumped to BNHA, right? right. bonus points if you were in Homestuck too. we all know how it goes.

POV: Rappa was tricked into allowing Overhaul's "angel" and their two friends (who are also Kurono and Rappa's "partners") to escape, but he managed to catch all three just in time before Overhaul realized.

I don't know where all these Spinaraki shippers came from in the last few months but hello hi welcome thanks for being here I love that y'all are here

Mha fandom when you say that Izuku’s biggest fic mischaracterization isn’t making him twinky:

WHEN DID BEING A TWINK BECOME A BAD THING CAN I JUST ASK THAT

Like yes, twinkifying one male character in a ship can be annoying—it can perpetuate heterosexual roles onto same sex relationships (“who’s the woman in the relationship/who wears the pants in the relationship?”), BUT LET US BE CLEAR:

TWINKS ARE A PART OF THE QUEER COMMUNITY. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A TWINK, MAKING A CHARACTER A TWINK, OR SEEING A CHARACTER AS A TWINK.

WHEN in the ever loving FUCK did that somehow translate into “the twink has to be the stereotypically aggressive one so it doesn’t abide by queer stereotypes”. HOW DID WE GET HERE.

She really went for it.

I pretty much only ever check in on mha for togachako and spinaraki. and Man

I think people tend to misinterpret characters by glossing over many complex nuanced aspects of their personalities to fit archetypes they want to interact with (in a fandom way) and to help their shipping goals by means of this.

I find it far more intriguing thinking “what would it take for these two characters to fall in love” than justifying whether their canonical relationship is romantic or if it’s a “good” ship.

This could take the form of underlying circumstances in the plot of the story or even an AU where they’re baristas in college and not in world-ending scenarios, but also with new developed backstories and prospective development of their characters due to these (theoretical shipping story’s) events.

Jirou being the only hero at gunga mountain reacting to Ochako's actions enough to keep having that focus on them more than once is also connected with how she gay panics around Momo and bonds enough with her for their ship to be popular. It's the sapphic reacting to the sapphics. Am I making sense here

Rät by Penelope Scott has been a Nezu song in my head for years. Glad to finally be able to put down some of the vibe of why.

[smallvictorianchildwhofoundwifi]

Please do a Monoma x Todoroki!!

Sorry this took so long! It took me forever to find a song I thought matched their dynamic but I was listening to my daylist and heard this amazing song that I thought really fit these cuties

Without further adooo *drumroll*

Your Stupid Face by Kaden MacKay !!

I also think this song fits bakumono/timebomb but we're not talking about them rn

There isn't a lot to it this time, Monoma hates him but uh oh, accidentally fell in love with his stupid face

One thing that really pisses me off in fandoms is when I’ll ship a rare pair and finally I’ll find content for it, only to go to the comments and see shit like “where’s my *insert super popular mainstream ship involving one of the characters here* content at?🥺” bitch literally everywhere else in this fandom, go enjoy that and let me enjoy the few bits of content I have🙄🙄

[theophagie-remade]

"Hey, look at us" "Look at us" vid but it's myself and I listening to the cheesiest love songs ever made while thinking about bkdk

[flutteringfable]

seeing that kids are still like. really extremely passionate about what ships are “canon” or not today makes me weirdly happy. nothing has changed and i think that’s hilarious
