thank you for providing resources in your reply regarding the members of a toxic group

I was in fandoms before the proship label was invented, and when the harassment first began to make waves in both the VLD and yuri on ice fandom, I thought that it was… pointless

not because proshippers are wrong or something but because the other side has convinced themselves that we’re bad. Any civil attempt of discussion with rebellious teenagers like that isn’t going to work

I’ve always stood for blocking and not engaging. Wasting time on toxic people like that would just bring me down. So yes, I completely agree, they should not be harassed. It’s just unfortunate that their harassment and stalking and endangering of themselves is not seen as a problem here

Then again after the nsfw purge (was also here when it happened) the atmosphere here changed. Tumblr is not safe for queer people anymore, and especially not queer kids

For anyone curious, here is the first ask regarding this conversation.

Yeah, I've also been in fandoms long before proship and anti proship became a thing. I've been active in fandoms since I was 12, currently I'm 28. I remember a time when ship and let ship was the norm. Sure, flame and ship wars existed, but because people fought over what ship was better, typically. Not because of some morality outrage.

And pretty much yup. Not even just teenagers, but adults also will not see reason when they are firm in their thoughts and opinions. Especially, when a person thinks they are in the right. This group of antis, specifically, think they are warriors of justice out to protect fandoms and children. They've essentially said it themselves and created a whole group to be on the 'look out" and make posts of people, usually proshippers, to block. They say it's so both sides won't interact, but regardless they continue responding to any hate they get rather than just blocking and moving on. Unfortunately, far too many proshippers also do this of not simply blocking.

I know proshippers are annoyed and frustrated with antis spreading misinformation and sometimes outright lying about what proshipping means and wanting to at least inform them of the correct definition even if antis don't change their stance, but even this; they will react with hostile aggressiveness or at best say you are lying. I've tried in the past to be polite with antis and explain this too, but they will not listen to even this. So, if they plug their ears to a simple definition, they will hardly listen to anything else even with so much information saying fiction does help victims and is a healthy coping mechanism, fiction does not cause people to commit deplorable crimes in the way they fear because usually people who were inspired by fiction were already predisposed and/or mentally ill to begin with.

So yes, I also agree that it is best to block every single anti on sight and not engage with them at all. At this point, I only explain what proshipping is to people who genuinely ask.

I think, proshippers should just continue to make any creative work they wish and make their own posts on their own blogs if they want, explaining that what you create/consume doesn't equal condoning something or wanting to replicate it in real life.

As for the 'impressionable' minors fear that antis have, again, like I've said, just spread awareness to real warning signs and internet safety. This is how you keep minors safe online by providing them with valid information by professionals and not yelling 'pedos' at everyone.

And yeah. It's very unfortunate that anti minors are stalking, harrassing and messaging complete strangers who they don't know if they are actually dangerous. Or worse, they are still doing this while thinking someone is a predator and still engaging anyway.

Tumblr is a 17+ rated app or at least it used to be. Now it's been lowered to 13+ which is a real shame. It's made this entire situation worse.

And worse still that it's queer poc who are virture signaling and calling other queer poc pedophiles. Exactly like evangelical republican conservatives do, hence why so many proshippers call them purists.

But anyways, best to just ignore antis, especially this specific group. They won't be reasoned with. Don't harrass them and don't engage with them.

AYISHA, THE COSMIC EYE

sketches of ayisha! i've been thinking more about the origins of her cosmic abilities, which i entail in the thread below! i wasn't originally going to color these, but i just couldn't do her justice without her regal color!

here is the lore related to these sketches! ayisha's lore is inspired by my own spiritual journey, hence her cosmic nature and themes.

Ayisha bears a powerful connection to cosmic energy. However, this is not due to a given ability nor was she granted this connection through magic. After being turned to a Shauldonon, in search of inner peace and a means of quelling the urge for violence within, she spent many years condemned to the underground of Aephimar meditating. Although she did already sustain magical energy, this only furthered her metaphysical ascension into the cosmos. Through years of silence, tranquility, and concentration, she meditated until the cosmos itself had reached into her; the truth was revealed to her. However, it was up to Ayisha alone to acknowledge her enlightenment and apply its teachings to her new life as a Shauldonon. While Ayisha does carry the power of stars, she does not abuse this power, and instead learns from it. There is still so much about herself and her world that she has yet to learn, but now with her third eye (quite literally) open and a determination to be intentional with her life, she embarks on the ultimate journey of recuperation.

AYISHA, THE ELDRITCH SORROW

one of my oldest kaiju OCs. a somber guardian and “goddess” of the planet, aephimar. ayisha has an equally somber and rather jaded past, which you can read here!

her story is still in development and i do have plans to flesh it out, but that’s something i’ll work on for fun/practice whenever i feel like it.

LORE DUMP GOOOOO 💀🦍

NOTE: This is not intended to be a large-scale worldbuilding project and is simply a head”universe” I have for miscellaneous OC ideas that I may eventually develop!

NOTE 2: “Cosmic guardian” does not imply that Ayisha is of alien origin. Rather, the magic that manipulates her form is of ancient cosmic origin!

Ayisha is a fabled guardian on the planet Aephimar. She hails from a scarce variant of beasts known as the “Shauldonon”. The Shauldonon are titanic immortal monsters corrupted by dark Aephimarian magic. Unless wounded or killed, a Shauldonon will continue to live forever. Though, this is only a myth. The Shauldonon have been condemned for many years. This is due to the influence of a religious cult that specializes in the confinement of magic itself in an urbanized world; though small, their influence changed Aephimar.

Ayisha was previously a mortal, but after facing years of abuse at the hand of the cult that governs a secluded city, she tampered with dark magic as a means of escape. She had unwillingly bore multiple children to the cult’s leader, all of which had been torn away from her. Ayisha knows not of what became of her four children, and in her grief and rage, she had become a Shauldonon.

That was hundreds of years ago. Unfortunately, the cult’s influence has only grown. Now Ayisha lives deep in the caverns of Aephimar, contemplative of her existence and continues to mourn her children. She is also considered a “goddess” of grief, according to old Aephmarian legends.

I'm still regretting that this very good run didn't last a bit longer (but as the saying goes: "don't be sad it's over, be glad it happened").
