What are some of your favorite things you like in a ship? Like what about Chilumi really does it for you and what are your favorite things?
Sorry for the late late reply.
Favorite things I like in a ship...
I wouldn't say I have a common theme among the ships I've liked. Generally, I need to be somewhat emotionally invested in one of the partners, and then my brain eventually manifests some ridiculousness that leads to whichever partner I end up shipping them with. I don't think I have specific things that I like.
(Incoming an answer no one asked for...)
I started out as a canon-shipper in my younger years. Like with Sailormoon and Card Captor Sakura. I was totally on board with each canon ship and went with the flow.
It wasn't until many years later that I eventually braved the treacherous waters of the OW shipping fandom that I just outright didn't go along with the popular ships. The only ship I gave any attention to was Hanzo and Mercy, and I had to basically feed myself with that one. I know that it makes zero sense to most people, but I think my brain just wanted to put my favorite OW characters together. I was a Mercy main, and Hanzo was stylistically my favorite character archetype in terms of combat (I like archers). There's a lot more I could say about it, but that will make this post potentially ten times longer.
Anyway, when I finally moved onto Genshin, I wanted to avoid falling into any ships...
But then Tartaglia showed his stupid face, and I was immediately drawn to his character. His banner was the one that made me break my pledge to stay a low-spender (just Welkin Moon and Battle Pass) and swipe for each bonus pack to guarantee that I'll pull at least one copy of him. Yes, this is long, roundabout way of me saying that I was only interested in Tartaglia for a while... Until I finished his story quest.
The moment Tartaglia and the Traveler shared after he cleared out all the Ruin Guards was the spark that started me have feels for THEM having feels for each other. xD;;
It felt like their strong ties to family (particularly their siblings) was something that resonated stronger than every other friendship the Traveler had made up until then. Also, he was so insistent on meeting up with the Traveler as frequently as possible, even if it was mostly to spar and train. And with the game sort of putting a blanket personality on the Traveler being quite proud of their fighting ability, I thought that they had a decent connection that could lead to a real relationship.
Also, the way Tartaglia is always so excited to see the Traveler when they happen to run into each other randomly. It just feels like there's so much more sincerity behind his greeting. And his voice lines! When it comes to directly talking about the Traveler, he's so possessive! Maybe I'm delulu, but I don't care. That's what my brain thinks! xD
Ah! I figured it out! All the ships I like, started out with the characters not liking each other at first. Usagi couldn't stand Mamoru at first because he teased her about her hair. Syaoran was so mean to Sakura when they first met! My headcanon for Hanzo and Mercy had a rocky start, but they eventually grew to like each other. And like the rest, Traveler had to beat the crap out of Tartaglia because he was a bad guy, but somehow they manage to come to friendly terms after a while. Yup, enemies/rivals to lovers is my shit!
#ask#anon#talking about ships#shipping history#i'm so sorry that this post turned out so long#i actually couldn't think of anything that unified my fave ships until i had to think of an answer to this question LMAO

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.
It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.
#she cornered me in the car and asked what shipping was and i almost had a fucking heart attack#imagine being like 16 years old and habing to explain knotting to your mother#random emo music girl I'm glad you had fun talking about your Band Guys to my mother#bc i also attended take your kid to work day at that office and i know how boring it was#but christ alive why did you have to fuck me like that?#anyways i hope this post reaches you so at the very least you know i think about you at least once a week#this has been weighing on me for ten years#im almost tempted to blaze this post

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times
Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use
#bearz rambling tag#no it’s not really possible to let everyone who uses this term to change#because as far as I know this is the most common word with use on Chinese websites#I didn’t know that pairing are called ‘ship’ here#like why would I even know that#‘ship’ makes zero sense to me#it took me a while to learn the fandom language people speak here#it’s hard#give people time#shipping culture is very different too#Like on Chinese site you HAVE to clarify the Top and the Bottom of this ship in the ship name#it is very very important to them#people who like the same ship but with different Top Bottom preference will fight till no end#imagine how confused I was when I first got here#where there’s no top bottom differences#it’s not really a smut thing#it’s more a dynamic thing#AxB and BxA is very different#oh I can talk so much about the differences on fandom cultures#if ya are interested in more please feel free to ask#it’s very interesting to me#I wanna talk about it

People keep on asking for more Baby Robin and Papadile so here is more Baby Robin and Papadile. Now never ask anything from me ever again
#My art#One Piece#Long post#Sir Crocodile#Nico Robin#Alternatively panel 5 would've been a close up of Crocodile's face from Robin's POV where he looks like he's giving her a death glare#Not intentionally he's just a big scary bastard with a Resting Murder Face and Robin is a small traumatized child#But I wanted to focus on the silliness of the moment so you get the goofy version instead#IDK man there's just something very funny to me about the idea of Robin just randomly info-dumping about a subject she's read about#And Crocodile being like ''?????????????????????? The fuck you talking about??''#Robin leaves the ship's kitchen and Crocodile just stares at the tomato like ''...It's a fruit? Forreal?''#(Meanwhile Robin is sweating bullets like ''I called his favorite vegetable a FRUIT right in his FACE he's going to KILL ME'')#Robin grew extra feet from the bottom of her feet to reach the counter and that actually isn't me trying to explain bad art away#In the original Papadile comic there was a panel of Robin doing the dishes with extra feet to reach the sink but I cut it out#(It was a stress relief comic I did not feel like drawing a complicated background in detail) (BUT YES I THOUGHT OF IT)#Nico Robin Age 11 is *more* than capable of cooking Crocodile just does not trust her with his food. At least not yet#She did start doing the dishes unprompted and continues to do so (mostly out of fear). Croc told her she didn't have to but allows it#IDK a lot of people seem to headcanon Crocodile as incapable of cooking and like. Surely Mr ''I don't trust people'' knows how to cook#Like he doesn't have to be a master chef or anything but and maybe he enjoys not HAVING to cook (pain in the ass with one hand + knife/hook#But surely he can cook decent enough. SURELY#Botanists don't @ me I know the ''tomato is a fruit'' thing isn't fully accurate this is just a silly little haha comic

Can we talk about how in the show Lestat and Armand are framed as narrative foils. Armand and Lestat who are both so aggressively theater kids, but Lestat who acts, who draws in the attention and holds it, and Armand who directs, who shapes and manipulates the narrative. Armand and Lestat's obsession with Louis and his love and frustration with his melancholy over Lestat and Claudia respectively. Who both felt second in his heart. Who fear loneliness above all else. Lestat taking what he wants to excess - no impulse control, and Armand letting things happen to him and trying to manipulate situations to get what he wants but never taking it. Armand, who even in the end, so much more powerful, never physically imposes himself on Louis. Armand who seeks complete control in subtle insidious ways. Lestat who seeks control in the physical. Armand and Lestat brought into vampire life in horrifying ways tangled up with SA. Armand who still talks about his maker with reverence, Lestat who hates his maker. Armand who pours all of himself into his partner, willing to shape himself into what they desire but ultimately needing control to feel safe. Lestat who pours all of his love into his partner but unwilling to change himself and ultimately cedes control in moments to maintain the relationship. Armand who clings to his breaking apart relationship for 77 YEARs, Lestat who let Louis go. Lestat and Armand who watch Claudia die, but one as a father and one as a murderer. Lestat and Armand so intense in their love but Lestat so painfully external and Armand so painfully internal as characters. Both constantly acting and putting on a face. Lestat as Mozart and Armand as Salieri (in the flashback scene!). Armand who loves routine and structure and repetion, Lestat who craves change and excitement. The calling cards are echos, who learned from who. Armand teaching Lestat the vampire gifts, Lestat teaching Armand a new way to live. on and on....
#I'm tired of ship content#Give me complex narrative foil content!! give me the haunting and doomed by the narrative content! Give me the analysis of the fucking prop#and sets and amazing costume design#there is so much in this show and no one is talking about it!!!#They are so two sides of the same coin coded#autism vs adhd coded#my toxic wives whom i love#lestat de lioncourt#lestat#armand#the vampire armand#amc iwtv#iwtv#armand iwtv

Poor little six-fingered Icarus
Flew too close to His Sun
Fell far away from home
And got himself burned for his hubris trouble
Stills from my "No Children" Ford Pines animatic which you can find here
Commission info here
REBLOGS OVER LIKES PLEASE
#gravity falls#stanford pines#billford#book of bill#bill cipher#ford pines#my art#my fanart#yeah i love the billford ship and dynamic#but i am not blind to the fact that bill is the worst thing that happened to ford#and that the language used in tbob to talk about said relationship#is very much loaded with implications

Extremely bad batgirls comic I made featuring Steph's sex life and Cass' ability to read everything but the room
#dc comics#dc#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#batgirls#feels really wrong not tagging their ship here. they could be in an open relationship if you want#and Cass is either aspec or not down for sex for another reason and they've talked about it and whatnot#or it's just cass wingmaning steph#also those little scribbles in the bg are. vaguely circuit breaker and red canary BUT ONLY BC I BLANKED ON CHARACTERS-#-IN STEPH AND CASS' AGE GROUP WHO AREN'T GAY MEN OR TIM OR KON OR BART#i could've just had steph fuck a woman but i liked to imagine this could happen in canon. if DC were based (worse. much worse)#anyway normally i hate uploading bad drawings in poor quality but that just felt like the correct medium for this idea#I'm working on two dc for gaza Commissions rn and im a bit blocked w the lineart rn but we're truckin!
