#thats not necessarily a healthy thing to do

[moonheart1313]

THANK YOU

All of this exactly! I'm genuinely amazed at the overwhelming hate for Stolas in these last two eps. Bc to me, all of Blitzo's and Stolas' reactions toward one another make perfect sense! Everything we've had revealed to us about their relationship (meeting and bonding as children, Blitzo being the one to seduce him as an adult, Stolas living in an abusive and loveless marriage, Blitzo being the "unfavorite" with his father, etc.), has been leading up to all of this.

Both men are in the wrong, but this episode focused on Blitzo finally seeing the PAIN he's caused people, being forced to confront it. All those people at the party are people he dumped and ran away from. But Stolas is the one who dumped HIM (at least from Blitzo's POV). And Blitzo wasn't ready to let that relationship go and tried to act like everything was fine.

Neither Stolas nor Blitzo knows how to be in a proper relationship, the former due to inexperience/ignorance and the latter due to his enormous insecurities and trauma. And I think that's what people just don't really seem to grasp. Sometimes characters, people really, don't always make the right decisions. This doesn't make them bad or abusive or evil--they're just making decisions based on their emotions.

Stolas wanted to explain his feelings in Full Moon and, to the best of his current ability, he did. But one, he caught Blitzo off-guard and two, didn't give him the proper time to actually process and work through just what Stolas was trying to tell him. But Stolas wanted to her HIS feelings out that he's been rehearsing in his head for weeks now. And just wanted to either be rejected or accepted--he just wanted to know. And once he had his answer, at least his perceived answer, he just wanted to be done with the conversation and swallow his hurt down.

And Blitzo had no idea any of this was coming. His assumption was, at to an extent still is (at least until his last convo with Stolas during Apology Tour), that Stolas was bored with him. He sought to impress him with sex so as not to lose their relationship. And when Stolas suddenly began throwing all these feelings at him, he didn't know what to do with that. Blitzo has only just started to get used to humility and respect in his friendships (for example, Moxxie and Fizz), but romantic/sexual relationships are a bit tougher for him. Which is why he went to his best defense mechanism--joking around and being overtly sexual. Which to Stolas probably seemed like he was just mocking him.

I mean, if I was being totally honest about my feelings and someone did that to me? Even if I was expecting a rejection, I'd still be hurt. Like REALLY hurt. And even so, I completely understand Blitzo's response.

And something I want to point out that I haven't seen brought up very much--the crystal. Stolas gave it to him, explaining it's use and giving Blitzo a huge out of their relationship. Letting him go with a heavy heart. Blitzo brings up the crystal at the beginning of Apology Tour, saying he wants to feel like he's "earning his way". Now this is funny af to me. Bc Blitzo? Sure, he enjoys feeling like he's accomplished something (past his original line of work as a clown), but the idea that he has to earn his way and he wouldn't hesitate at getting a free pass so he can continue to do his job?

Come the fuck on. It sounded like a huge excuse to me, even if there's a hint of truth to it. If he didn't feel what he felt for Stolas, he would have taken the crystal, told him "Well it was fun while it lasted, have a good life, bucko" and left. But their relationship IS deeper than that. Even if Blitzo may not know what the feels for Stolas, it's deep. He can feel concern for him. Jealousy. Even heartache.

Sorry for going on about this, but I'm irritated by just how many people imo have grossly misinterpreted these episodes, and the Stolitz relationship in general. You don't have to like the ship, live and let live, but all of the posts saying Stolas is such a hypocritical abuser have really misunderstood his character. Its okay if you don't feel the same level of sympathy for him that you might feel for Blitzo, but don't ignore the struggles that Stolas has, too. These are two very complicated men and part of the fun is watching them attempt to navigate a relationship.

And sometimes even the best of relationships can be really messy.

Been seeing some criticisms of Stolas from the last two eps that I’m just like…did we watch the same show?

Disclaimer before I begin; I think both parties have made mistakes and both need to grow. I am only focusing on Stolas bc people seem to give Blitzø the benefit of the doubt/understand his actions in a way they seem unwilling to do so for Stolas

Going through different opinions I’ve seen:

- “Stolas is abusive bc he forces Blitzø into sex work/he threatens Blitzø’s business to get sex”

I do agree that Stolas creating the Full Moon transaction wasn’t great, and their relationship could never be more than sex until that was dropped. HOWEVER Blitzø is not blameless in that situation. He is the person who snuck into Stolas’ house and seduced him bc he wanted to steal from him. Blitzø’s business is based off of using Stolas’ stolen property. You could argue that it shouldn’t belong to Stolas or that imps are treated so lowly in society Blitzø had no other choice? But asking for the book back isn’t “threatening Blitzø’s business” it’s…getting back what he stole so Stolas can do his job

- “Stolas is abusive bc of the power/class difference in their relationship”

I do think the class difference is something they’ll have to overcome but I would call it a character flaw of Stolas more than abusive. We do see him condescend to Blitzø earlier in their relationship in Lululand and Truthseekers but I’d argue that is more to do with Stolas being incredibly sheltered and too lovesick from his first relationship. I’d argue this is an earlier element of their relationship that there may still be some work left to do but by the breakup I don’t think is there as much. I think Blitzø externalizes a lot of his insecurities onto Stolas’ perception of him, but it’s mostly that a projection

-“Stolas is at fault for the break up bc he wouldn’t hear Blitzø out/bc he projected Blitzø outside his house”

The breakup is both their fault but I don’t think this is really fair. Yes, Stolas was so busy rehearsing his lines that it didn’t occur to him that Blitzø might need a minute to react or might feel like Stolas’ feelings came out of nowhere. But we don’t always react perfectly when we’re upset or hurt. I don’t think Stolas really believed Blitzø would say yes. A part of him probably hoped, really wanted to think Blitzø would but he was probably expecting a rejection. And to not only be rejected but to be mocked with the words you most want to hear after you’ve just been vulnerable…I would probably walk away from that situation too. Did Blitz start to realize at the end that he fucked up and Stolas was serious? Sure, after he screamed a bunch of insults at Stolas and made him cry. We as the audience know Blitzø’s history and saw him change at the last second but Stolas doesn’t and had his back to him so couldn’t see his expression soften. Also Stolas has lived close to 20 years with a wife who always screams and belittles him so I don’t blame him for not wanting to hear Blitzø out after that

-“Blitzø tried to apologize and Stolas wouldn’t hear him out”

Except…no he didn’t? Sure at the very end of Full Moon he attempts a last minute sorry but only after he’s pushed Stolas so far. He could’ve tried to text Stolas an apology or he could’ve tried to apologize when they were by the pool in apology tour but he doesn’t. At that point he’s still just trying to pretend everything is fine between them and get back to sex with Stolas bc he believes that’s the only reason Stolas likes him and if he can only give Stolas a good lay everything will go back to how it was. Blitzø doesn’t want to apologize, he wants to reset the status quo and Stolas won’t let him.

-“Stolas being upset in Apology Tour came out of nowhere/is bad writing bc he only cared about Blitzø for sex before”

I’m sorry…did we watch the same show? Sure, Stolas is a bit horny on main for Blitzø in the first 2 eps but that’s bc this is his first relationship and he’s excited. But as early as the Harvest Moon Festival he’s wanting to spend time with Blitzø and talk to him more. From then on he’s trying very hard to connect with Blitzø and keeps being shut down. If Full Moon had been Blitzø’s first rejection of Stolas you could maaaaybe see Stolas’ reaction as overkill but not with everything we’ve seen of their relationship and is shown in Stolas’ apology song. The only reason you could think Stolas felt nothing for Blitzø is if you took everything Blitzø said at face value and he is shown by Fizz’s reactions and Stolas’ actions to have a skewed perspective

TLDR; Stolas is not blameless but the way some fans maliciously interpret all of his actions just doesn’t square with the text of the show

I think its important to discuss and talk about personal experiences with other neurodivergent people. Cause like, we've all had personal experiences that don't necessarily align with how we view a whole group of people. And I've tried to avoid talking about personal experiences, so I won't bring unnecessary hate, if I had a bad personal experience. (And not that it would, but people tend to generalize online, yknow?)

But like its important to talk about things that don't work out or line up. Cause like, people don't talk about it in good faith, and people don't acknowledge their own faults in these situations.

So let me say some things and talk about my own personal experiences. To preface, I've been having a really hard time talking to people in my life who are autistic, and I have ADHD. Usually, it works out fine, because yknow, people who are nd get along better than those who are nd and nt. But I've been struggling with the fact that they need space, and get overstimulated easily. While I need reassurance and attention, lest I am understimulated and depressed.

And I'm sitting here listening to the same song over and over, while writing this, watching the music video on the side. Right after I ended a call with my boyfriend (he's autistic) and its really hard to hang up, when his presence often gives me so much dopamine. I love being around him. But he needed time to be alone, so I'm here coping with the fact that I won't talk to him again until tomorrow. And more so than that, there are other people that I struggle to talk to because they need an extended amount of alone time and space. And it's really hard to accept that hey, they don't hate you, but they need room. The RSD sucks. The emotional dysregulation sucks.

And I get the immediate knee jerk reaction, that it's not fair. But it is fair, my second reaction goes, you are given space too. And I know that, I get very socially drained so easily. So, its a fight in my brain. Either be responsible and considerate, or be impulsive and self sabotage relationships for my own benefit. It's not easy being compassionate and considerate, when that is not your first thought, when you're also mentally ill and exhausted.

So like, here it is. I am here to talk about interacting with other neurodivergent people, where our personal experiences are not sanitized or always positive. So, I'm here to start a conversation. Reblog with your own personal experiences, or relate to mine. I think we should be more open to talking about negative interactions, being neurodivergent isn't an inherently good or bad thing, it's just we're different and interact with the world in a different way.

I don't hate the other people in my life, nor do I wish harm upon them. But I struggle with them, just like I struggle with anything else. Share your thoughts and feelings, and your own personal experiences. I'd love to hear them.

Hey!! 💗 I’m so curious to know your headcanons on Simon previous dating history and sex life 🙃

Heyyy!!!

okay so essentially this is my entire take on it:

2009 OG ghost:

I can 100% see 2009 OG ghost be celibate considering his personality and unwillingness to participate in sexual activities, who knows tbh, but hes probably either a virgin and doesnt care or a very low body count (though its never mentioned he had a gf of any kind)

being fr rn its the trauma lol

wouldn’t do friends with benefits. too busy

2022/23 reboot ghost

reboot ghost probably has one night stands lets be honest. hes fairly confident in his looks… 194 cm tall big guy which girl doesnt want him

they were all probably one night stands where he needed to blow off some steam from the stress. not necessarily because he is hypersexual!!!!

wouldn’t do too much after care with one night stands. a simple “are you okay? do you need water?” and he leaves

the way he talks is also so smooth like have yall seen the conversations between him and soap😍 straight up professional flirting

obviously emotionally unavailable for a serious long term relationship. i think 2009 simon is much more gentleman and reboot ghost is straight up like the song ‘heartbeat’ by childish gambino😭😭😭 would ghost the girl for a while

wouldn’t be a HORRIBLE boyfriend, imagine the way he banters with soap but just less graphic and more gentle sweet like tone thats how he treats his gf

can take sexual hints easily but is really oblivious to romantic ones. you wanna fuck him???? he can tell by ur voice and like three words. but you wanna hug him tightly in a non military duty terrorist hostage situation where you were emotionally distressed kid???😰😰😨 he cant tell

fwb with him is brutal. its more like “hey can i come back here every 6 months to fuck you once and have a few beers before i leave for another 6 months and possibly never come back because i died in the middle of nowhere?”

probably has never had a serious long term relationship ever in his life :( nevertheless a healthy one. he joined the military at a young age and never thought of romance as his thing

had sexual feelings for other women but never anything like a ‘crush’ yk what i mean?

i can see reboot ghost willingly escalate fwb to a serious relationship, if that person is incredibly caring towards him and likes his jokes😭

he wouldn’t actually admit it at first. itd probably start with something like the two of you screw around, you act strangely caring towards him and he gets scared. but then slowly you are who he comes home to.

who do u think is most naive and gullible in skz?

Who's most naive and gullible in Skz?

Chan

I would say he's pretty naive and gullible, his people pleasing tendencies get in the way of his using his "logic" when around people that are charming. Even around people that he doesn't necessarily care about. And i think he would unconsciously trick himself into being gullible when trying to like himself to others.

Lee Know

Pretty focused on himself and his own views and beliefs. You can't really trick him into anything he doesn't want to do. He just follows his own convictions and path.

Changbin

He is kinda in the middle. I believe he was very naive and gullible in the past and has burnt himself through it and has had to learn to be more savvy and discerning with people. I think he still has some naivety because he's so good hearted himself and wants to believe people are like that too, he wants to give people a chance but i believe often times he's left disappointed. At least now i see him recognizing signs early on and dropping people politely the moment he realizes they're not genuine.

Hyunjin

Poor guy, he is aware of his naivety and he tries really hard to be discerning of people but he just keeps making the wrong decision each time and ends up being tricked, used and fucked over by people. Or he at least believes that to be true.

Han

He seem really gentle and innocent, like a child. I think its very easy for people to take advantage of him🥺 that made me really sad actually☹️the whole energy of the card and all...i feel like he has noticed that pattern but he doesn't know whats "wrong with him" and why this keeps happening and why he can't seem to be able to protect himself and discern people. Theres a very sad energy there and a feeling of uselessness, nackedness, vulnerability, feeling stupid, feeling incapable and used and abused. A feeling of incapability too. Poor guy, i hope he learns with time and has people around him to help him out with that and have his back while he learns. I hope he finds peace with that whole thing someday.

Felix

Also very innocent, childlike energy but more lighthearted and mischiveous. I think he also knows he's very naive but it doesn't bother him much and he just takes it as part of the experience of life and doesn't think much of it. For him it doesn't feel like somethings being taken away from him like with han. He just embraces people the way they are, trusts them blindly and if they end up being little shits, then so be it, he has enough of himself and enough resources to not be bothered by "leeches". The risk of being naive is much smaller to him than the joy of finding great people and great experiences and he believes the chance of having a great experience is much bigger than the chance of being efd over.

Seungmin

Isn't as rejecting as lee know, takes what people say to him or what he reads somewhere but always with a grain of salt, and if its something of importance he does research on it first, maybe consults other people too, thinks about it, sleeps a night or two over it and makes up his mind if he wants to believe it or not. He has a very logical, open but careful approach, i would say he's at the healthy middle.

I.N

I think with him it depends. If he likes someone or if he likes what he hears he chooses to be naive because thats just nicer to do. If he doesn't like someone or something he rejects it strongly and sticks to his own believes or preferences. Idk how to label that tho...i think he's selectively naive? But them thats not naivety is it?😂 i think then its called voluntary delusion or something of that sort?😂

So to rank them from MTL

1. Felix

2. Han

3. Hyunjin

4. Chan

5. Changbin

6. I.N

7. Seungmin

8. Lee Know

tw: a//bu//se

Before I get into this I just want to say that although I am a critic of HH/HB, I still like the show either way. This post is not meant to attack anyone, its just to give my thoughts.

So there has been something about Stolitz I have been thinking about recently and I just think that even IF Stolas is sorry for what he did to Blitzø, its best for the two to just move on. I mean imo if you were to get back together with your abusive ex after they apologized for the horrible stuff they did (whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or in this case coersion) then what is stopping them from doing it again? Even if they DO stop hurting you, it doesnt change the fact that they hurt you. Just because the abuser claims something like "Hey, whatever horrible things I might say and do to you, I still love you no matter what" is a BIG red flag. Stolas is an abuser. Blitzø is a victim. People say that its Blitzø's fault he does not feel the same way Stolas does. Even if their relationship was healthy, you can't force someone to fall in love. Even IF Blitzø felt the same way as Stolas those moments are few and far between. And just because you have a crush on someone that doesnt necessarily mean that you should be in a relationship with them, ESPECIALLY in this context. Just because Stolas was sexually repressed does not excuse the fact he forced Blitzø into sexual coersion. Just because he had a mean wife it does not excuse him for his actions. The show puts Stolas in a light where he didnt do anything wrong, and made him and his relationship with Blitzø a predictable cliche love plot. I always WANTED to like this ship, I really do... But when I see people trying to romantacise something toxic, it makes me worry if this is how they will treat REAL people. Because, lets be real most Vivziepop stans are 13 year olds who think saying the f-bomb in every sentece is peak writing.

To Stolitz shippers: Just because someone doesnt like Stolitz, does not make them homophobic. I dont like Stolitz because it romanacizes a toxic relationship. Yes the show is fictional, but fiction has bleed into reality before.

I think this is the best video that hits the nail on the head. I am not trying to demonize people who like this ship. I HATE HARASSMENT.

To Critics/Haters: PLEASE DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS SHIP. While I find myself uncomfortable shipping relationships that are toxic, its imature to harass people over it. It does not make you a better person. Not all Stolitz shippers are horrible people, there are both horrible people in the Fandom and Hatedom. We already have many people in the community who left the community from both sides. So please be more open minded about this.

Thats all

Cant believe im getting rbs on a post about junepei when yesterday I went on a big rant shitting all over junepei 😵‍💫😭😰

Akane who sacrifices her entire life, and her loved ones lives, and the lives of many others, all in the hopes that she can forge a timeline where she and Junpei can be together and live a peaceful life, only to have traumatized Junpei so much in the process that he doesn’t want anything to do with her in the end

[ravewing]

honestly after rereading arc 2 ive realized that ive come to like the idea of qinter than the actual canon version of it.

like at the end of the day ive been a qinter fan since i was in third grade so of course im going to be biased towards it and itll always hold a special place in my heart but i must say that a lot of their canon interactions were just qibli making jabs at winter to a point where it sort of seemed like he didn't like it anymore?? if that makes sense?? dont get me wrong i love the sunshine x grumpy dynamic but with them idk.

i cant lie i feel like the entire jade winglet completely cut winter off and they were always against him even though literally he was completely justified in pretty much everything he did?? like im sorry but him going to save hailstorm (HIS BROTHER THAT HE THOUGHT WAS DEAD FOR YEARS) rather than going to look for the ancient nightwing who has killed hundreds of his tribe was perfectly reasonable. the vase scene was completely reasonable (could you imagine YOUR best friends defending the man who put you under a spell and wanted to commit genocide on your people and wipe them out entirely?? id be pissed as hell). to an extent, winter being suspicious about moon and the cave explosion was reasonable (i do agree that he came off as very aggressive in that, but at the same time you have to see things from his point of view. how WOULD she have known about the bomb?? not to mention how hes been conditioned and indoctrinated to distrust nightwings).

i feel like qibli especially comes at winter for these things and tells him that hes wrong for it and that hes being toxic even though hes LITERALLY NOT. and the whole thing with him saying that if he had animus magic that he would change winter's personality always rubbed me the wrong way. i feel like toxic is too strong of a word but i dont think that theyd be necessarily healthy together, not until theyve matured a little more and have found better ways to cope with their past traumas instead of repressing it and putting on this charming guy who makes jabs at people persona or taking it out on other people through anger and frustration.

in all honesty i feel like tui shouldve gone with moon not making a choice in the qibli/winter/moon love triangle to sort of show that you dont need to be with someone to be happy and that its okay to stay as just friends– icl, thats how i thought that it was going to end when i first read arc 2. i feel as though moonbli was a little rushed, and i do like the idea of winterwatcher (just like i do with qinter) but i dont think that he's emotionally ready for a relationship. also this is unrelated but when initially reading book 6 i thought that moon was going to end up with turtle; ive always thought that theyd be cute together lol.

im thinking about it now and i really like the idea of turtle and winter but i cant for the life of me remember if theyve ever had any one on one interactions. if theres anything please can someone send in reblogs ..

im getting off topic now so tldr i like the version of qinter that exists in my head but i feel like they shouldnt be together in canon, not at least until they sort out their own issues.

[pwippy]

hi guys what do the humans eat???? all contestants were born on alien planets and idk i feel like alien food would have evolved differently to grains and such on earth.

its possible that when aliens took over earth they saved *some* organic life like rice and olives (which can be seen in a few shots.) i find this really odd though because delicacies for aliens are a WEIRD variety of very inedible compounds. not to say aliens cant enjoy rice but if tetrodotoxins (a NEUROTOXIN found in the organs of some sea creatures (fugu pufferfish etc) (foreshadowing for guardian shines deep sea planet ig)) are the culinary equivalent of something like caviar or truffles i think casual foods would be more like stainless steel (referencing the screw in the below picture)

if the foods displayed are (likely a little evolved) versions of the organic life on earth that brings up a darker issue of aliens going in and intending to keep humans as pets but thats for another day

im pretty sure the only instance of humans actually eating is when till eats his plain (MAYBE) rice. ivans instance doesnt count mainly because we dont see him actually eat the fishbone jello thing AND he doesnt have a plate. hes kinda just the centerpiece for the banquet.

genuinely their diets besides rice might just be supplements (if you get vitamins through supplements you dont necessarily have a "healthy diet"). like pet food, its more cost effective to just buy the bare minimum like kibble rather than go out of your way and spend more money on a varied diet. for humans, its decently common to own a dog, but unlike the relationship between aliens and humans, we can give them food we eat (like beef, greens, etc). since humans cant eat cyanide scraps there has to be a whole SECTOR dedicated to humans. this means in universe there has to be factories and farms literally just for human food and again its not space or cost effective to have a bunch of them when you could have like 3 leading brands for a mashup of crazy nutritious rice with 0 flavor

thats pretty much it on my end but heres more kinda irrelevant details: aliens know what cherries are (or they just stole casino machines. gambling fools 😒), they eat olives (or something similar to olives), and they eat fish bones.

[mag200]

rileys whole deal in season 5 is so annoying (like. hes annoying all the time but im getting specific here) cause its like. of course you're going crazy feeling like she doesn't love you enough and she's not touchable enough for you, your problem is that she has a life and you don't. you're not like a real character you're not a person, you have nothing outside of her. buffy has school and a job/calling and her family and friends. last season riley had school and a job and friends and now he literally just has her. this is not good for anyone i mean no one would feel sane or healthy in that situation. what he needs is hobbies. he needs to develop some interests that aren't his girlfriend. but instead of doing that he decides to get super toxic and pissed off at buffy that he's not the only thing that exists in the world to her while she's dealing with shit that is way bigger than him (like the threat of glory and, oh yeah, her mom slowly dying). and everyone keeps telling him, you're so good for buffy, it's so nice how she's not miserable with you :) and hes like yeah that's not good enough i wish she was miserable. dawn literally tells him about how when buffy was with angel she was crying all the time but with riley she doesnt have to worry and riley takes it sooo personal and its like. mate thats just the difference between being 16 and 20 sometimes, like thats a good thing you should not want your girlfriend to be crying about you every day. anyway what im saying is nothing was ever going to save him from being super boring but their relationship might've survived if he had like picked up dnd or something. i don't know if buffy necessarily does need some monster in her man like she really does love a kind of pathetic damsel to protect but he really needed to be interested in something outside of her. literally anything just pick something.

What are your least favorite ships? Not counting Subaru x one of the minors (i sadly have seen some around)

whew...... least favorite ships..... now thats a bold question HAH and i may have some. ah. Bold answers hah.

im generally pretty open to most ships, its just a matter of like. either i already liked the ship / was really into the ship or im more neutral about it and you just gotta convince me why i should at least give it a shot or be like "this could be good in certain circumstances". i dont usually care if a ship is toxic or "problematic" per say bc 1. this is rezero and sooo so many ships in this show arent 100% healthy lbr and 2. i will like a ship if its like. complex, and if theres problematic stuff, then its done for a reason - like it's not just there willy nilly. but thats just my personal feelings on it yep!! :o fiction is different from real life and all that.

more under the cut!!

that being said like. you know, kinda like you said - the obvious answers would be like subaru x any minors and just any sort of incest ships bc like. i do not see the point of it. that and you know, like a lot of people, i tend to avoid these sorts of ships with 99.999% of fandoms im in. i aint here for incest or shipping adults with minors. and i know theres like fandoms like game of thrones where this sort of thing IS relevant in the story, but with rezero - like it just is not relevant here and adds nothing unless youre into that. i do get that fictional stuff is different from real life and its not necessarily an indication of someone's character. i also definitely know this bc ive cowritten a gluttony if selfcest fic for this fandom as a very extreme crack treated seriously story hahh. but yeah like. ships between family and adult x minor are Not For Me in this fandom. i dont feel like it adds anything to the story and its also like Really out of character.

granted, i cant really say much on that bc ive written and posted selfcest for this fandom but like. in my defense, i did way too much research for that fic (..............i researched a lot of psychology stuff) and also gluttonybaru is Canonically Not Normal about subaru. the more you think about gluttonybaru the worse he gets HAH. like. dude has canonically kissed subaru via emilia's book of the dead....................

but obviously ofc i do not condone any of this ^^^^ in real life.

anyway on a lighter note!! im not a huge fan of most ships between subaru and *insert a female side character here*. like im not a big fan of like. subaru x anastasia, subaru x priscilla, subaru x elsa, subaru x yorna, subaru x pandora, like... the list can get kinda long bc people in this fandom in certain english spaces like to ship him with like any girl ever, it feels like sometimes. it gets to the point where sometimes i feel like subaru is just the self-insert to be shipped with women that people have the hots for.

like with most content about these sorts of ships, its hard for me to see much point to it - and there IS potential there. there is almost always potential in so many different tropes and ships, and theres some cool fanart in this fandom with these ships!! but you know, i hear about people suggesting ideas with these ships or writing fic about these ships and its just not my cup of tea bc it really sacrifices the characterization of all these women. and elsa is like already sexualized enough okay and its almost never nuanced and taking into account her backstory :( like i could be convinced to ship these ships with like idk 20k to 200k words of relationship and character development, but as it stands i personally really dont like them hah ;-;;; and also priscilla is clearly more into women okay (she canonically talks about how men are only allowed to fantasize about her and nothing more or she'll cut off their heads!!) and anastasia seems more into like julius and priscilla so like. HAH.

subaru x crusch is not something im a big fan of but im pretty open to it hah, i just havent seen much fancontent about them that really piques my interest :,)

anyway i also just. dont like the idea of taking a gay subaru ship and genderbending only one of them due to homophobia. and ill emphasize and underline that last part - due to homophobia - bc ive seen really good genderbend subaru content in this fandom where subarus afab and shipped with like julius or reinhard or something and there was clear effort and passion put into it!! and i do think its interesting thinking about how genderbend aus would affect this sort of thing for sure <3 i really really enjoy seeing the well made genderbend aus in this fandom!!

but i see other people suggesting fic ideas or making fics sometimes where its like fem subaru x male side character or like now-fem side character x subaru but it like its only clearly done bc some people just cant ship a gay ship, they gotta make it straight and then not put effort into thinking how this would change more things. and the female character in the duo now is Especially terribly out of character :(( the homophobia is just so so irritating to me. i go on the fic reddit thread sometimes and i see stuff like. i think once i saw a thread about someone requesting ottosuba and someone else immediately went "oh, with femotto right!!" like. ...... please. they are a gay ship :,,,))))))) let them be gay Sometimes at least!! maybe we can genderbend both of them sometimes??? :,)))

also on a less serious note HAH ok like..... ok hear me out, dont kill me for saying this either, but - fredotto. frederica and otto. and - ok dont get me wrong, i think theyd be really really interesting for multiple reasons, right. and ive seen some cute fancontent on them that i liked a lot!! so i really do think they have lots of potential!! like theres the obvious "otto had a crush on a cat as a child and frederica's a cat demihuman", then theres the other obvious fact of otto and frederica being connected via garfiel being their brother/brother figure, and also like personality/temperament wise they could bounce off of each other in interesting ways but like.

the thing with fredotto is that i feel like in english fandom its treated as the "more likely" otto ship to happen, at times. which is Absurd to me after studying otto's lore way too hard bc not only is this dude just way too obsessed with subaru (like regardless of whether you view it as platonic or romantic or not, ottos like Down Bad either way LMAO i just dont see him having eyes for anyone else at this rate)... but also otto OPENLY ADMITS that he'd be bad in a relationship with a woman. like im really sorry but frederica would probably be Too Good for him. and he would Know That.

otto………. can you specify what “the most important thing” is. like do you mean ONLY your career or—

anyway so its like. you want me to believe that otto "i could never be in a relationship with a woman as i am now" suwen. could date a woman????? right now???? i dont think so LMAOO. like i would feel BAD shipping a woman with otto bc barely anyone deserves otto, ok. idk you might be going "suffaru arent you kinda mean to otto" but like being an otto fan also means being his biggest hater and dude is just super super cringe. and even if he had a crush, the chances of him voicing it is Probably Low.

like ships like fredotto, again, need like idk maybe like a few thousand words of development At Least on both ends, bc frederica?? we barely know anything about her at the moment, so its Really hard to approach a ship like this in an in-depth manner right now. like id love to explore fredotto!! id love to learn more about frederica!! id love to go crazy with this ship!! but yeah its definitely kinda hard bc we barely know anything on frederica :< :( and yeah once again. i think shes too good for otto. i think almost every woman is too good for otto. if youre shipping a woman especially with otto you gotta jump through hoops to Really convince me on this HAH. bc i think shipping him with men is just gonna lead to two different possibilities (codependency. and/or otto trying to femme fatale his way through life 👍)

yeah anyway jokes aside. fredotto at worst feels like just a case of pairing the spares and like Clearly they must only be in a straight ship or something HAH.... like i would love to read/write extensive relationship development on them though ;-;;; they got good potential, youd just have to put in the work for me to Believe that they could happen ;-;;;; but most fredotto english fic content atm is just them already being a Thing in the background like ;-;;; this would Not Happen from either of them without development!!!

also i have some fredotto tumblr posts floating around with what i Think would be fun to do with their dynamic…. idk where they are rn hah but yep i think they got potential :,) !!

anyway HAH i hope you did not mind reading about my least favorite ships in this fandom bc this is everything thats coming to my mind now 👍

Shdhfhf not Shima basically calling a guy a loser and a creep for wanting a vid of Yuzu that wasn’t sent to him and then a SECOND after wanting to do the same thing with a vid of Mitsumi LMAOOOOOO. And at the end a double attack that another guy had the vid and not him shdjdjdjdjjf

Also the girls???? I love them so much they love each other so much im crying. Side note but Yuzu i’ll take you out of the closet myself if i have to we gonna free you from men soon I promise.

Lastly, on more serious note, Chieri is a character I didn’t dislike at all, but this chapter did it. She’s a pick me😭😭 wants boy’s validation regardless if it annoys the girlfriends and thinks “men are better to deal with than girls” even though she doesn’t actually have any male friends either. She only keeps boys that think she is cute without forming friendships but also puts other girls down. Is icky as hell. However im sure given the nature of this series that Mitsumi will break some stereotypes she has and make her realize that women are people (yikes) and not just all a competition. I’m sure i’ll like her after a redemption arc. Although i gotta say people like her irl sometimes don’t get a redemption arc or learn any better so i don’t think is unrealistic if rather than learning and growing into someone better and becoming friends with the girls she just breaks her mask in public and Mitsumi learns that not everyone is a friend. In a way i think thats also important because so far Mitsumi is just nice to everyone and all issues resolved. She has been able to befriend everyone and that’s not necessarily realistic either. But i don’t think the manga is going that route again, as the theme seems to always be that kindness and communication feeds healthy relationships with those around us, thus I def think she’ll end up becoming friends with the girls. I’m sure i’ll like her character by the time we get there and she shows growth. But also kinda wish to see what happens if Mitsumi CANT get through a person and is not able to befriend them at all.

A form of SH? (Self-harm?)

I wouldn't say it's a form of self-harm. Actually, the opposite! It's a form of self-care! From my experience and from friends' experiences, it's a coping mechanism that helps with our trauma. If antis, think we're making fun of the problematic themes that's far, far from truth, and a very harsh thing to think! If people make fun of problematic situations, then that's a problem, and I wouldn't want to associate myself with such a person.

I hope Antis knows that proships are against harassment in general and respect others with different opinions. (Or they should be. That's the definition, lol.) If a proshipper is threatening you, then they're just a shit person and don't belong in a no harassment zone while harassing. Yet somehow, I often see antis like to use their catchphrase "KYS" all the time. I find such attitude to be awful no matter proship/anti/neutral whatever. Harassment is bad. No one deserves to be called a "good person" if someone says awful things to other human beings.

But like I said, it's a selfcare kind of activity in fiction. It's a safe way to control or explore the dark themes in fiction. It's a healthy way to express the trauma without hurting oneself or others. Some antis don't know this, but when you've experienced trauma, it has to come out somehow one way or another. People don't necessarily HAVE to like dark themes to express or cope with their trauma. Everyone copes differently. Some happen to enjoy / cope with taboo subjects in the fictional space. Which there is no shame. Your fictional taste does not reflect your morals (obviously, lol).

This brings me to another topic, Antis, who believes that if a proship likes the taboo subjects in fiction (ex: incest, age gap, what else? Victim and murder? Lol, there's so much that antis doesn't like.), that it means they like it in real life. That's, again, untrue. Your fictional interest doesn't mean you like it in real life. So that brings the question, "Why do they like it in fiction then?". Well, like I said before, often, it's a coping mechanism. Other times, people just like it in the fictional world. Perhaps there's more or less to it, but it's not anyone's job to understand the why. And if you find it uncomfortable thats complety valid! There are some things I find uncomfortable. That's when we have the power to block and remove ourselves from looking and reading things that we are not okay with. LITERALLY. Like we don't have to intrude a "problematic" artists media if we KNOW what they draw! Or read something that says "non-con warning" or anything WITH a WARNING SIGN THATS THE POINT OF WARNING SIGNS AAAH ⚠️

My thing is, if you're a nice person who respects others and doesn't harm others, then you're good in my book lol I don't understand furries, but if they never hurt a person or never been disrespectful to your surroundings then you're gucci. I have some friends who I don't understand their fictional world, but they've been nothing but sweet to me. Who am I to judge their fictional interest if they as a person treat me better than many other actual human beings lol

Also

Proshippers are aware of what's right and what's wrong in real life. We don't like predators, or incest, or victim x murderers in real life. DUH! Antis, we're on the same page. We don't like those kinds of people! We keep telling them, but somehow, many of them can't differentiate reality and fiction, which to me I find that to be a very, VERY big problem in today's time. If the line of fiction and reality is blurred, then how can people express their creative freedom without having to take a chance of being a "problematic person" or getting accused of harsh things. Also HOW YA GONNA FACE REALITY WHEN RENT IS DUE NEXT WEEK?! If a person is a problem to another human being, then that's valid to stand up and speak out. Uh, with evidence ofc. Don't just spread around "so and so is a Predat0r because they like so and so ship." Fiction isn't evidence. People will look at you weird if you claim a person is a problem and provide a drawing of Plantcest LMAO. People are gonna be confused why you're showing a drawing to them.

Policing others on what's right and wrong in a FICTIONAL SPACE like that's a problem itself! They're fighting ghost problems and threatening REAL PEOPLE for their interests, and that doesn't sound like a healthy space for anyone. Activism is good, but to the fictional space where it doesn't affect people in their day to day life if very concerning. Hence, why people say "touch grass".

Not every proshippers are good people. Just like not every antis are good people. Every group have their problems. This whole black and white view is unrealistic. No one is perfect. No victim is perfect. No "unproblematic" person is perfect. The world is grey or as I like the world is rainbow.

This is very long lol

In conclusion, proshippers aren't self harming for indulging dark themes. It's a self-help (many therapists would recommend it). Self-harm is threatening others and policing others what YOU think is okay or not. Self harm is also avoiding your trauma and avoiding your fictional interest because others pressure you to think how they do. You're a person with your own mind. Allow yourself to express how you do and don't let others tell you how to think, feel, and tell you what to do. You're human. I'm human.

FICTION ≠ REALITY and be kind to each other! There's more to life than to get mad over what others like lol take a chill pill and think about what you want to make of this world!

Okay, have a great day, yall!

I learned that octopus beating heart stop when they swim so they prefer to crawl because swimming exhaust them. Do you think thats one of the reasons why Azul does like PE?

To clarify, one out of an octopus’s three hearts stop beating when they swim. The heart that stops (the systemic heart) is the one that circulates oxygen to its organs; the ones that continue beating (the brachial hearts) circulate oxygen to the gills, which help the octopus breathe. An octopus can survive with only one brachial heart/one side of their gills (since the octopus can also absorb oxygen through its skin), but if the systemic heart goes out of commission than they’re out of luck.

… I don’t know if I would go so far as to say that Azul likes P.E.?? It’s true that Azul tries hard in P.E. class, but that’s because he wants a good grade (see: Beans Day) and he doesn’t actually enjoy some of the physical activities he engages in (particularly flying, team sports, etc.), or trying to resolve conflicts using muscle. We do know that Azul does some circuit training to keep healthy, but this is building strength in the arms rather than being an aerobic exercise exercise (which are two completely different things). He has been described as having poor stamina but a strong grip; it’s likely the aforementioned poor stamina which contributes to his dislike of many physical activities, not necessarily a heart stopping.

We also can’t be sure if Azul even has three heart to begin with since he’s in a human form now (ie he has no use for the two extra hearts which pump blood to his now nonexistent gills). I don’t know if this would even be true of his merform, since his upper body is more human than octopus (so there may not be a 1:1 correlation between his anatomy and physiology and that of a typical octopus).

[astroyongie]

I don’t know if you ever got my ask bcs tumblr keeps eating them recently :’) but I was wondering among the groups that you’ve done readings for, which bgs and ggs did you notice have the highest competition between its own members? not necessarily a bad thing ofc! I believe in healthy competition

I will do competition overall without adding the healthy because some of the groups I will say have unhealthy competitions.

anyway all groups have competition, but those I see with more often are: Stray Kids, TXT, Riize, EXO, BTS, IVE, Le SSerafim, NCT, Enhypen, The Boyz, ITZY, Vespa, Twice (thats the ones I remember)

[basilbunnii]

any physical nina and jack hcs? like how they look, disabilities, how strong they are etc?

i am SO glad you asked :D i've got a lot of them so buckle in LOL

(all under the cut this is a biggie)

nina:

this goes without saying, but obviously i completely see nina as a scene queen who leans into "trashy y2k" (she's a huge fan of ke$ha and the millionaires)

i feel like shes also totally for getting a lot of piercings because she enjoys feeling bedazzled all throughout the day even if shes sleeping or in pjs/comfy clothes

an absolute glitter FIEND to the point that she's the person putting glitter in her shampoo, glitter in her perfume, glitter accessories, glittery makeup, drink shimmer in everything— literally anything that can be glittery will be glittery

going back to music though, i think her top bands are paramore, the millionaires, and ke$ha— like she's a very healthy mix of scenemo and y2k and it really serves

i also know i draw nina a lot different than other people AND I AM TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN MWAHAHA

so my nina does not have a full body bleach because (if i remember right, great, if i don't this is my canon) she gets the acid/bleach dumped over her which i am of the impression it would only bleach her face

i also think that nina would have a moment of clarity after and thats why she would let her smile cuts heal over and scar

i think the chemicals would also get rid of a LOT of her nerve endings in her face so she would not feel a lot of the previously mentioned piercings

i also think her hair would be crispy crunchy from all the hairspray and hair dye and being lit on fire

i can see her also being a big fan of led lights— like the idea of being able to constantly change the color of things around her to match her vibes or her outfit seem totally fitting

onto disabilities, i think nina definitely has QUITE the handful of mental illnesses, but i also feel like she would have pcos which would lean into her wanting to be more feminine from an infertility standpoint and "wanting to be more of a woman" so to speak

as for the mental illnesses she is 150% someone with bpd in my mind. i also think she suffers with psychosis and ptsd, as well as i think she would be on the spectrum (she's def got a special interest in fashion/design)

i also think a lot of those would pop up in her childhood, namely the bpd and the ptsd, because of the bullies and the outcasting, but i think jeff's influence on her life would lead to more prominent symptoms and reactions alongside psychosis and delusions caused by the psychosis

she's also got a problem with obsession and obsessive tendencies (as i think we all know or acknowledge— i have no clue if that was canon in original but fanon hast declared it)

i do think she's definitely strong so to speak, probably a bit more than the average person, but i think her "strength" would come from agility and flexibility when it came to murders

that being said i think she was definitely in dance and gymnastics when she was a kid which contributes to that

i do also think that she gets hurt pretty often regardless because she gets trigger happy and loses her accuracy (much to jack's dismay)

shes way more spry and quick than most people so while maybe you could out-strengthen her, you couldn't outrun her and she would be able to slip out of difficult positions easily

totally off of vibes but she lived in the midwest before the slendermansion

like as someone in the midwest of america that story REEKS of midwest 👎

jack:

so i feel like jack leans more into a simple emo getup— hoodie and jeans, flannel and jeans, not super showy (but nina would definitely dress him up)

its giving very overdressed girlfriend and underdressed boyfriend (at least next to her he is)

jack doesn't necessarily listen to a lot of emo songs though, honestly its a really healthy mix of everything "alt" so to speak

when it comes to disabilities, jack has super noticeable ocd

he's always super clean, always organized, everything has a place and it's in it's place (the complete opposite of nina who is the messiest person on earth)

he's definitely got other things like ptsd, depression, etc etc but i think the ocd definitely plays a HUGE role to the point that it's way more important to get across than anything else is because a lot of the mental illnesses of creepypastas are assumable (in my mind at least but i am super into psychology)

i don't think jack has any super noticeable disabilities and my justification is because he is literally a demon they don't usually have a problem unless they're a sinner in origin and mr man was sacrificed not a sinner

i don't think his vision is perfect for a demon though, i do think that the lack of eyeballs is a bit deterring there

doctor handwriting

very very doctor handwriting

there's a big separation in the way he acts whenever he's level-headed and whenever he's remotely emotional

i do think it's fairly hard to get him over that point of level-headedness though— he's very calm and collected until something is pretty personal or sensitive

i've seen a lot of people on here (one or two LMFAO) call him a feline-type demon which i agree with to a degree, he purrs and he's definitely got almost pressure points that make him purr, but i don't believe in the tail (arrest me i am an early 2010s creepypasta fan it takes me by surprise every time)

i do also indulge in elf ear jack i thoroughly enjoy that

jack definitely has a few piercings, but not nearly as many as nina (because thats a VERY high bar)

in terms of strength— i feel like my headcanons are pretty assumable because jack is a demon

he's already pretty strong as is, like he is nothing to fuck with even when he's calm and collected and unprovoked— but get him riled up and i think its a million times worse

there's less of a barrier whenever he's emotional because it creates this blurry-headedness that obviously does not mix well with being a demon and the emotions make him go from like this normal mode to a much scarier much more intense "final form demon" mode

if you take anything out of the strength portion, take "dont fuck with the demon" out of it 🫶

i mentioned that nina lived in the midwest, jack lived on the east coast (namely new jersey)

if you made it this far have another piece of art i made for my ipad background of the sillies (theyre on nina's couch cuddling i love them)

if yall want relationship hcs next lmk.... or shoot me an ask if you want other characters bc istg i've been holding onto these since i was 10

[worflesbian]

the whole thing about rank and power dynamics and how janeway can't have a relationship with anyone on the crew and thusly is both cut off from and placed above everyone around her... thats not fucking healthy and im Thinking Thoughts. ik people do talk about this but for the most part we really Don't interrogate starfleet being a military enough, or the fact that these kind of hierarchical structures are like Not necessarily a given like there are other ways to lead... ways that Don't distill all responsibility and authority down to the shoulders of one person setting them apart from everyone around them. ik i was thinking about btvs this episode anyway but literally "you've got a superiority complex and an inferiority complex about it", buffy and janeway being women who to some extent didn't choose to be leaders in their situations who nonetheless spend seven seasons being blamed for every failure and carrying every victory and start to see themselves as above the law but also undeserving of the loyalty of those around them, being dragged out of their depressive episodes by the need to protect those people, unable to have a real relationship with any of them so they resort to someone who doesn't "count" because being above everyone makes you so, so alone
