#this is in regards to queer ships btw!!!

[secretsofthewilde]

One of my favourite things about starting a new show I've only heard about secondhand through Tumblr is discovering what's canon and what's just a wildly accepted headcanon.

Following on from that, it's always a particularly special treat when I start a show and feel rather confident that the main ship I'm aware of is something that's not canonical, only to realize within the very first episode HOLY SHIT they're actually obsessed with each other and even the other characters are saying so - I don't think the fans were being delusional this time.

[mieczyhale]

@gay-jewish-bucky IT REALLY FUCKING IS. No matter what if it’s a canon gay couple it’s just not going to be good enough for the exact same people who complain about wanting more gay rep. Part of getting gay rep is accepting that we’re going to get rep for all kinds of gays, all kinds of relationships, all levels of relevance - not just the kind that some people want or deem acceptable.

We finally have what is, in my opinion, a pretty well balanced canon queer ship that isn’t just ~hints and eye contact~, that isn’t squeaky clean, that have meaningful conversations and show love and affection like it’s not a big deal. It’s treated on equal levels to any straight ship on the show and I think that’s a breath of fresh goddamn air tbh.

I know people are always going to complain, but this topic has gotta be one of the most annoying and most exhausting ones. People should be happy we get any kind of lgbtqa+ rep, and that that rep is getting not just more diverse over the years but better too. There’s never going to be Perfect Queer Representation and to bitch and hold out for it?? To nitpick the fuck out of every ship?? Why would you, y’know??

Vivziepop glazers will basically downvote you and make excuses if you call out the sexist writing on how Viv writes her gay men, btw this is from r/CharacterRant

Edit: Minors do not interact, reblog or like my post bec I will block you.

I'm pretty sure if OP posted it in the main sub Hazbin Hotel, he might as well get downvoted for sure despite being an SA Victim. Viv Glazers surely never failed to disappoint me and I'm so glad Tumblr exist bc this is the website where you're allowed to rant about Viv and her shows. FUCK THIS SHIT MAN. Maybe Viv Glazers should learn that people have different perspectives and actual issues in her works. VIV is not a SAINT OR GOD you GLAZERS! GET THAT IN YOUR DAMN HEAD FUCK I HATE THIS FANBASE IT JUST MADE ME MAD.

Edit: About to go to sleep since I will finish my work tom my comment just got 16 upvotes I guess glazers must've realized I got a point LMAO.

Also the comments that got downvoted who point out the issues in Viv's writing got upvoted including OP's comment on Stolitz in regards to sexual coercion since there's also a person who denied the r@pe got upvoted before hours later got downvoted and it shocked me why people would upvote that comment that screams mental gymastics to defend a Ship that is made through sexual coercion that includes the class difference and power dynamic. The post from CharacterRant sub got people's opinions turn into 180 I guess bc they realized the other people like me who point out the issues and have concerns about the show might as well have a reason the shows that Viv write is not really good most especially when it's related to queer representation and SA.

Lastly the point of this post is to showcase the double standards in the fandom on how they view criticisms most especially when you apply that to stans/glazers who refused to see the actual criticisms and think it's mixed with the so called "haters" when I myself am a fan of Viv's work but also recently gotten more critical bc the roses tinted glass fell off when I start to analyze Viv's behavior online including her shows. So if you think this post is just whiny, egotistical and immature, sure tell me that, I'm not perfect and I accept that but that wouldn't changed my issues with the Standom's behavior that invalidates valid criticisms that critics like me have been voicing for years nor how the Fanbase has gotten even way more toxic over the discourse surrounding Viv's immature behavior including how divided the fanbase is, let's not forget the Standom's cultish behaviour to defend Vivziepop from any form of valid criticism, btw I also don't agree with other critics all the time but I can also see when there is criticism that is valid. So before anyone accuses critics for being "haters" maybe try and understand where we were coming from, the people became critics are also fan of Viv's work, if I was truly a hater then I wouldn't reblogged or like fanarts of the show including listening to musicals from Viv's work, just bc I'm a fan doesn't mean I have no right to voice my concerns over Viv including her work. Sometimes Stans should understand that fans can like the work but also criticize it.

Also the mods from CharacterRant removed the post from an SA Victim, damn for a sub that is supposed to make essays of your issues from any media, they would sure remove a post from an SA Victim's issues with Angel Dust's character. Truly the most Hypocritical moment from that sub.

Update: I went back to see the post and it seems to me the removed post was brought back again. I guess the mods feel guilty for what happened.

mike’s behavior shift & byler endgame confirmation

little yap moment (long rant):

just to start, i wanna say that i was a m*leven lover from s1-s2. given i was young asl, it was a wonderful ship for kids, but as i’ve grown and gotten more into analyses for media it has become clearer to me why my dislike of mike wheeler’s character despite my love for him originally, actually came from a lack of understanding.

so yeah, i truly think the moment i started developing my own byler agenda was in season 3. i had always known that will was queer, season 1 episode 1 with joyce and episode 4 with troy, it was just so clear to me. but i never saw it actually developing into a love story, i actually saw it as a little bit of queerbait when i saw the “crazy together” scene (ik crazy to say but i was also literally 11). but season 3, was like a huge smack in the face that oh mike is 100% the queer one WITH some kind of feelings towards will. i love how we as bylers joke about it? but truly will’s feelings for mike were so masked it’s insane to me.

back to my rant, i was a little caught off guard by mike’s CRAZY behavior switch from likable friend and leader to el’s personal make-out buddy and actual hater of his own best friends (mind you mike was always my favorite character originally, he was the protagonist that was a little unlikable but that’s my favorite kind of character). it wasn’t until my rewatch recently that i totally clicked for me again that mike was so in love with will, i can’t remember who mentioned it but mike inviting will to his house after el dumped him was absolutely unnecessary, lucas was needed but mike just had will there because of his genuine need for will to be there. rain fight outburst and post breakup crawling back to will was so clear that mike valued will on a level unbeknownst to anyone else around him. even beyond the el breakup, mike is lowkey such an ass to everyone else 😭. he needed to be guided by everyone else to apologize to el, lucas, and dustin. but will was like air to mike, he breathes will, the second he hurts will, he immediately crawls back to him because he knows at the minimum that will’s feelings are greater than his own arrogance.

and now season 4? there are so many wonderful analyses out there regarding mikes straight up queer behavior, but i really feel like this season is what fully converted me. btw i was still afraid of this possibility of queerbaiting, i had a strong feeling that maybe i was still reading into it too much but when will’s feeling were CONFIRMED in the first like minute, i knew in that moment that byler endgame was real. like i said above the way will’s queerness was clear to me was no shock, but seeing it be visually shown that he was IN LOVE with mike i was truly convinced in that moment that this was it, they were setting them up to be THE endgame couple. (ps i had NOT interacted with any byler content until very recently, i just had this instinct). and after now having read the analyses and rewatch the season again, i literally felt like my eyes were opened and like the show was spelling it out for us. the california plot line being the MOST boring without byler development, the fights and apologies, the heart to hearts, and van scene all just either fed my confirmation bias or proved to all audiences that this is what we need to be looking at. it is insane that season 4 has like 6 incredibly byler focused deep moments and there’s still byler doubt in my opinion. anyways yeah back to my original point the complete decline in mike’s character development the last two seasons completely confirmed it for me in my most recent rewatch. there was no reason to absolutely nerf his character like that, and if they do set up m*leven endgame, i actually will have lost respect for the duffers but also for my favorite character. but i have full faith that this show would not destroy everything it spent the last decade building up to.

TLDR: byler endgame is imminent and as a once byler skeptic and even m*levin fan, i cannot wait to see this story wrap up in season 5. i need the trailer, actually the whole season but the trailer will do for now.

[hiwelcometothemonstersancturary]

So even though we currently don't know much about the nightmare critters, what current ships do you have?

hmmmmmmmm, regarding just stuff w/ the nightmares:

nightmare critters as a polycule

rabie baby x baba chops

rabie baby x bobby bearhug

baba chops x simon (because it's hilarious. to me)

poe x bubba x kickin

simon x bobby

simon x dogday x catnap

simon x allister

maggie x piggy (slowly getting brainrot over these two btw)

allister x dogday x catnap

allister x dogday

i think these are the main ones to me/the ones i would draw fanart of? but i rlly like the majority of the nightmares and smiling critters ships with the exception of hoppy x any guy in a cishet relationship. i don't mind her being w guys if it's a polycule or a very queer relationship but when it's cishet i'm just "what". mostly related to my own interpretation of her as a character than anything fandom related! if u guys like hoppy w other guys then who tf am i to say a thing abt it. ship what u want, etc etc <3

if i add their bbi versions to poppy worldwide i would probably make maggie and piggy an official thing tho!!!

Fatui Harbinger Sexuality HC's

Its no secret that the Harbingers are all queer in some way, shape or form. It's just fact at this point, but I wanted to share some of my headcanons for the Harbingers + the Tsaritsa. TL;DR at the end.

Starting off with our beloved Cryo queen, I am a firm believer that she is either aroace or an asexual sapphic. The Tsaritsa is the Archon of love. It had to happen. I mostly headcanon her as aroace just for the irony of it (love goddess doesn't seek love herself type of deal), but I also don't really see her with anyone. I know her and Pierro are a popular ship, but it kind of follows along with the weird pattern of Harbinger x Archon, and it got out of hand after ZhongChi (DottoNahida scared the daylights out of me). And I headcanon all of the Archon's to be asexual, so she falls in that line too.

Second up we got the Director, Pierro! Again, aroace mostly, but I've played a little with him and Rhinedottir being past lovers (interesting concept to me, can't really explain it because of the minimal information I have of the both of them) so from time to time I fluctuate between aroace and aroflux. The one constant for him would definitely be asexuality though, cannot see this man having kids. He's a cat dad, fight me on it.

Second in line, Capitano! He's a straight ally. Definitely the supportive dad that doesn't exactly understand but he'll defend his children (coworkers) if anyone gives them any problems (not like any of them can't handle it themselves, they just like having scary dog privileges!)

Next up, our morbid doctor, Dottore! He's a little fickle, as I can see him being bisexual because of his one date with Soreh and obviously his affiliation with Pantalone. Probably aceflux, it's just not something he's really into and doesn't care for it. Just depends on his partner I suppose. In regards to his segments, all of them are asexual and go by non binary pronouns. They differentiate between one another using their names (Alpha, Beta, Omicron, etc...) and personal attire preferences, so people just refer to them as "they/them" in order to keep them separate from Prime.

For the beloved angel, Columbina, she is sapphic! Definitely a demigirl too, since she is an angel and all. Not much to say, unfortunately, but I think it's self explanatory.

Ah my lovely wife Arlecchino. Like most, I think of her as a masc/butch lesbian. Was definitely Signora's gay awakening.

Pringles man—aka Pulcinella���is a straight ally as well. Much like Capitano, he doesn't quite understand all of it, but he's happy that everyone else is happy and doesn't mind learning more.

Scaramouche is demisexual, even after he turns into Wanderer. Much like Columbina, there isn't much to say about him.

Sandrone is aroflux like Pierro. She's happy being by herself with her dolls, and doesn't feel the need to have a relationship with someone. Also a demigirl!

Signora was a closeted bisexual, since she never truly figured it out before she died. Entirely Arlecchino's fault btw. Anyway, hope she's happy with her beloved Rostam.

Pantalone is pansexual (ah, see what I did there?), and leans towards the asexual spectrum.

And as everyone knows, Childe is a raging achillean/bisexual. It's just fact.

TL;DR:

Tsaritsa: aroace/asexual sapphic

Pierro: aroace/aroflux

Capitano: straight ally

Dottore: bisexual, aceflux

Columbina: sapphic, demigirl

Arlecchino: masc/butch lesbian

Pulcinella: straight ally

Scaramouche: demisexual

Sandrone: aroflux, demigirl

Signora: closeted bisexual

Pantalone: pansexual, acespec

Childe: achillean bisexual

[graendoll]

So I just read this post and have some additional thoughts. I'm making a new post so as to avoid any potential shipping nonsense on OP because no one wants that.

Basically OP is talking about how Buck's storyline is about learning how to love and be loved and Eddie's is about self-discovery (very abbreviated overview...please read the original).

Anyway, Buck's storyline being around learning how to love and be loved made me start thinking about Tommy and how he fits into this.

(Full disclosure I ship Buddie. I am not a multishipper, but generally don't have a problem with other ships. I just avoid their content because it hurts my feelings 😅.)

The way that Tommy has been presented thus far is, imo, another stepping stone on the path of Buck realizing what he really wants so he can find a fulfilling endgame love/partner. The post I linked goes through the lessons Buck learned from his other romantic partners, and so far Tommy has been framed as "the LI that makes Buck realize he's queer".

The few scenes they've had together up to now really don't feel like the way an endgame LI gets presented. I know folks are rooting for him and Buck to be it, but the writers would have to pivot a lot to do that. (Not that they can't, just...it WOULD be a pivot).

First, Tommy did not pursue Buck. Buck is pretty consistently chasing after his failed romances and Tommy is no different.

Second, the narrative choices have inserted Tommy in specific scenarios between Buck and Eddie. Tommy and Buck have really only been Eddie-less two times. First, when they had coffee and Buck asked him out and second, when they kissed in the hospital. Both of these were ways to move Buck's story forward and had little to do with the development of Buck/Tommy because narratively they're entirely one sided. Tommy comes to coffee so Buck can admit he wants to try something and they kiss in the hospital so Buck can come out to the firefam without making a lengthy, time sucking speech.

Tommy is there in both cases to move Buck's story along. Every other interaction between the two has either had Eddie in the scene or mentioned him a strange amount. I don't remember any of the other people Buck dated being framed so closely to Eddie or having Eddie haunt their relationship the way he has with Tommy.

This doesn't mean Eddie and Buck are endgame, but what it does mean is that Tommy is LIKELY a plot device to propel Buck's narrative along. (A narrative which includes a pre-packaged family, btw, who love him exactly as he is. Which maybe he'll decide he DOESN'T want, we don't know.) As OP of the linked post said, Buck is learning how to love and be loved and Tommy, while significant what with the bisexuality of it all, really just feels like another step in this process to me.

Obviously this is just one woman's opinion and like OP I'm old and have been disappointed too many times to put my whole chest into believing Buddie is endgame, but right now the narrative isn't really implying Buck/Tommy is either so whatever happens I think Buck is still a work in progress regarding his HEA.

(Also it shouldn't need to be said but please don't get spicy about ship wars kthxbye)

Edited because tumblr is being weird about embedded links on my phone....

9 people you'd like to get to know better

I was tagged by @realmoftenderness: thank you so much! 😍🩷 Apparently this has evolved lately, and I love this new version 😁

3 non romantic duos

1 - Pao-Lin and Nathan

AKA the Tiger & Bunny Gender Team. Their dynamic is impeccable: Pao-Lin as the kid who's trying to work with a gender that doesn't fit quite right, and Nathan as the established queer adult who shows her, even just by being there, that the possibilities of who you can be are endless. And yet, not only do they have a peer-to-peer friendship and equal respect for each other as heroes; but when Nathan, who seems so strong and solid in who they are, is actually made vulnerable by all the hurt she's experienced because of her queerness, Pao-Lin is the one who saves her, by pointing out just how wonderful Nathan is because of their different, unique identity.

I have so many feelings about them, and I wish the show had let them interact with each other and explore their shared themes and experiences way more than it did. Luckily, as you can see above, we have Ueda and Yoshida's manga firmly on our side. 💛💖

2 - Data and Geordie

Data was possibly my first main Blorbo, decades before the word Blorbo came to be. And his friendship with Geordie, while being one of the main tenets of both their characters, still, IMO, never got all the credit it deserved; particularly in regard to Geordie's feelings about the many, many time we (almost and then not almost 😭) lose Data, when other people's reactions are often put more in the forefront. Part of that was due to Geordie's status as a more secondary character, sure; but in part it was, perhaps, by virtue of their relationship's own nature. Their frendship is already established; it is more obvious and natural than the laws of physics the Enterprise keeps bending on its adventures; it simply, well, is. The other characters had to learn to understand and love Data; Geordie, apparently, simply accepted him and loved him before the very start. (Insert heavy-handed symbolism here about the blind character easily seeing past someone's surface; the show sure never shied away from it.) And this meant... a lot to me. 💛

(I have not yet seen the last season of Picard, but a glimpse of a headline makes me think I might need to say: please, no spoilers?)

3 - The Doctor and Donna

(Spoilers for the 60th Anniversary specials here, turn away if you need to. They're only one year old, after all. 😅)

You know that post that says these two are the biggest win ever for fictional queerplatonic relationships? (This one, btw.) Yeah, all of that and then more. Donna doesn't give the Doctor heart-eyes, she does not follow him blindly; she yells at him, throws things at his head, and then runs not behind him, but right at his side, with her eyes firmly wide open. The Doctor calls her the most important woman in the whole wide universe, and he means it. At one point, they become one single being, and it is glorious. They would have gone on together forever; them having to lose each other broke me (and probably them) far more than all the other separations in the show could. 💔

Imagine, then, my utter, endless delight when, after almost fourteen years, the 60th Anniversary specials not only reunited these two, but actually gave them a fully happy ending in which the Doctor (well, Tennant's version, anyway) joins Donna's amazing family, parks his TARDIS in their backyard, and just hangs out with them forever and ever, amen (shut up, time is all just wibbly-wobbly stuff, in the end). 💖💖💖

A ship that might surprise others

I'll be honest: I sat here for literally hours trying to think of a ship of mine that might be surprising (and that wasn't, like, stuff from 20 or more years ago that is really too cringe for me to want to bring it up now). I usually like pretty obvious ships, with the gamut of my tastes mostly running along the incredibly wide spectrum of "fluffy friends to lovers" to "snarky friends to lovers". 😅

So in the end I decided to go with something that has actually caused surprise to several people before, not so much because of the ship, but because I even knew about the show at all: Ray/Fraser in Due South 😂 (Apparently Canadians think that only Canadians know this show? But a) Italian TV will air almost anything, and b) the language of classic slash shows is universal. 😁)

Okay, maybe you might be surprised to know that the answer to "but which Ray, though?!?" is actually "Both". I am not a veteran of the Ray Wars; I existed in my little safe corner of "I discovered this fandom a couple of years after the show finished airing, and I just chilled at the edges of it, watching bootleg VHS tapes and reading fic on LiveJournal".

(You can't tell me that Fraser wasn't madly in love with both of them, anyway. It's just fact, as far as I'm concerned.)

Last song: Nightingale by Demi Lovato.

Last film: Pretty sure it was Onward, which I watched with my siblings and enjoyed a fair bit (which was definitely helped by the fact that I did not see/recognize who was voicing Barley until the movie was over).

Currently reading: I just finished (re-)reading Kimi Ni Todoke and it's as utterly sweet and delightful as I remembered. (I do not think I got to chapter 63 on my original readthrough, though, because I did NOT remember it also shattering my heart like that. 😭)

Currently watching: The Ranma 1/2 remake.

Currently consuming: Nothing. I should probably have some dinner.

Currently craving: a lot of extra energy to work on my T&B Secret Santa and the Advent Calendar! 💪💚

I am tagging (with zero pressure, as always!) @nicoroni, @imaginatorofthings, @seaofolives, @youngerfrankenstein, @hearjessroar, @zimithrus, @saltedpin, @thekuraning, @horikoshi-secret-ao3-account, and anyone else who would like to play! 😁🩷

"Birthdays", "awkward", "Taennie", "imagination", "TAE", "liar, attention seeker". If these words do not leave your mouth or a jikooker's, you’ll have a stroke.

There. Fixed it for ya 😘

Also, literally no one here is having a stroke over any jikook video. Maybe anon you need to "get out of your imagination" . Y'all so desperately want us to feel something about those teasers and clips that you are willing to imagine that we are having strokes over them. It's a fckn entertainment show, not a "day in the life of an idol couple" vlog series. They went to those locations with a crew, those aren't clips from their private trips. Why tf would we feel anything bad about a travel show? We've seen multiple seasons of BV and ITS. We know the drill. The only difference this time is that instead of the seven of them, it's just two. That's it. It might be a huge deal for y'all, as it should be (would've been for me if it were taekook), but trust me, we really, really aren't bothered.

Btw, didn't jimin travel to the US for hobi? He shows up for all of them bcs that's who he is. He is a very caring friend. What you forgot to mention is, jimin himself said that he hadn't met jk on his bday last year, infact he met yoongi on his own bday eve, who brought a cake for him. Why do y'all always ignore all the other members in favour of proving your narratives? Jimin himself said he was only close to yoongi and hobi last year. As for jk's bday in '22, hobi, jin and jimin all went to wish him. Y'all really need to stop singling him out. Just like how jungkook only saw jimin and hobi. Similarly in solo era, jimin only met yoongi and hobi. Seems like y'all are trying to downplay his relationship with yoongi here.

"Jungkook said “speak to someone” and not himself because they couldn’t even sit down and have a heart to heart" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sure love. Believe this if this gives you happiness. Why tf would they want to have a heart to heart infront of cameras??? Or do y'all really believe that anything and everything that's shown on tv is real and unscripted?

"For all you know jennie was probably the reason he became a little bit happier. " Y'all really need to stop using taennie. Proving anything in regards to tae ain't doing shit for your ship. Why is your side hell bent on proving him straight and involved? What does it have anything to do with jikook? Someone does have something to do with jikook though, and she's been a bit quiet since dropping those bombshells. But you'll never see us even talking about her after that. Bcs we really don't care about jimin's dating life. But jikookers are weirdly interested in tae and his alleged relationships, going so far as to pair him with his wooga squad friends.

"You’ve turned these boys lives into a lie so that you could force a reality that isn’t true onto them" No love that's all on you and your fellow dummies. The people who believe that a queer couple will enlist together. The ones who refuse to believe that jk and tae are very close, closer than any other pair in BTS. The ones who've oversexualize jikook to the point of not even understanding the difference b/w reality and ff.

You have an entire series coming in less than a month and instead of being happy about it,here you are, picking up unnecessary fights. Are y'all ever satisfied with your ship? Does your ship even exist without mentioning taekook and tae?

Hi anon!

It's always the same things with them. Just like they have their chosen moments to proof Jkk (GCF Tokyo, RoseBowl, Hickey-gate, enlistment, coupledays... some weird number theories... you know the drill) they also have their chosen topics to disprove Tkk (Taennie, Get out of your imagination, ITS talk). I think a lot is about contesting with Tkkrs for them? Like.. the usual rebuttle to a Jkk debunk is to come with something about Tkk. As if Tkk being not real would make Jkk real suddenly.

I have seen the birthday talk so much it gets boring... and the thing is, it's always about Jm going to Jk's birthday and not the other way around (I am actually unaware of the times Jk spent Jm's birthday with him outside of when they were together because of band stuff... anyone know?). But Jk actually does not always spend Jm's birthday with him right? When they were in Busan it was clear they were with their respective families.. and not spending Jm's birthday with their families combined. So how does all of that hold?

I'm very tired of Jkkrs saying things like... you are turning Jkk into fanservice and reducing their relationship to only that. No we are not! Not around here anyways.. and I'm not going to be held responsible for whatever it is other Tkkrs are saying.

I am in the editing stage for The Big Breakdown Of The 33 Paragraph Essay Ask, but here's the short version:

I think they mostly wanted to try to explain their stance one more time. This is my best attempt at a short breakdown, without bias. The only reason I’m trying to keep my bias out is because I think it’s better to try to extract the core of the essay in the purest essence possible when trying to explain someone else’s point. Ik I’ve said some variation of that already but I want to say it again.

The main points are:

An attempt to reiterate what they believe ‘proship’ means, and why they think your version is…lacking?? Illogical?? Secret Third (But Similar) Option? Or just straight-up wrong. Somewhere in there.

An attempt to convey that they understand why you won’t believe them. 

I gotta say tho, the way they actually went into that (further than just an ‘I Get It’) being so close to how I put earlier it is. Unsettling. As I’m typing this out, I don’t honestly remember if I got to that point in the Thirty-Three Theses* yet when I said something about it. If yes, it was probably just fresh in my brain. Either way every time i read it again I feel like someone i don’t know just briefly glanced through the mirror at me.

Their third point is basically “I’m afraid that if it’s okay to harass pedophiles, then queer people will be harassed under the pretense of us all being pedophiles just because homophobic/transphobic/etc dickheads want us to leave. So that’s why I’ve decided I’m Proship.” with a very dramatic lead-up that implies concern for you, + a moment of ‘btw I don’t support that stuff myself. For the record.’

There is a reminder of that one time an anon accused you of pedophilia. I do, actually, remember that, because I remember wondering if the anon just heard that you were trans and suddenly saw red. I couldn’t think of any other reason to call a minor a pedophile, unless they just wanted to upset you for no reason? Idk. anyways.

There is also expressed concern for people who aren’t necessarily queer, but people who are writing about pedophilic/incestuous relationships who either don’t know any better, are trying to deal with their own trauma through writing, or adults who aren’t writing anything like that but it’s For or About kids and People Will Call It’s Sus.

Still, their main concern seems to be queer people. 

Long-winded explanation of why they won’t come off anon, which boils down to ‘i am not going to get harassed because i do not need that damage to my mental health’

I don’t know why they worded the last few blocks like a mysterious warning. I think it and the war drums comment are probably because they got weirdly dramatic and self-righteous about it? Idk. Either way they’re expressing concern for you (whether real or fabricated, who knows), with the implication that they think you’re being used/manipulated. Or that they think you could easily be used/manipulated? One of the two.

I have no idea if any of this is performative, or if it’s entirely sincere. The last bit is kind of insulting to you, even if it’s indirect. But what I’m hearing there is “you are voting for the Face-Eating Leopards Party, who promise to only eat the faces of Bad People, but you don’t realize that they can and will easily pin the ‘Bad People’ label on you and your demographic.”

Also, regarding their definition of proship: It’s less about what you ship and how you treat other people for shipping things, whether you like the ship or not.

So by their definition, even if someone did ship something like, idk, Dreammare (most common icky ship that I hear of), they’re not necessarily proship. If they believe that people shouldn’t be harassed over what they ship, and also stick to that and aren’t a fucking hypocrite, then they’re proship. Whether or not the ship in question is pedophilic, abusive, toxic, pretty average, or pure wholesome fluff has no bearing on it. 

I go more into that in the Big Breakdown.

I'm going to have to go places in a moment or two, but when I get back I should be able to finish my editing.

...At least, in the google doc. I'm debating whether tumblr would have better formatting and if I should make it a tumblr post instead of sending a link to the google doc, but if I did then I'd have to fuck with the images, and change some of the OTHER formatting because tumblr doesn't do underline for non-links.......

Either way, send me a message or something if you decide you want to see the whole thing. We're at 7525 words, which includes the essay from Proship Anon themself. most of it's me though

My “Thirty-Three Theses” comment is a reference to the Ninety-Five Theses that made Protestantism a thing. I only reference it because that’s a lot of fucking theses, and they were nailed to the door of the church that the author was bitching about and I think that’s funny. Otherwise it’s entirely irrelevant. I just wanted to share the joke.

7525 WORDS??? JEESSUS CHRIST MAN

but yeah the whole "anon calling me a tranny pedophile" was actually cause they were originally harassing my older brother for being a "tranny pedophile" (they did call BOTH of us trannies so.) despite the fact we're both minors, and also "what're you doing at the devil's sacrament" shit of "see you on Einstein's (epstien's) island"

but like... jesus. you're doing god's work ong.

and like. honestly. i do not give a shit about what someone draws/writes to cope with stuff, that's not my business, yk? my stance on that is that you. should not post it online. keep it between you and your therapist or whatever

[dichromaticdyke]

re: skwisgaar attraction myth debunk turned feminist critique (AMAZING post btw) - feel free to ignore/not respond if it's too much/incomprehensible (english is fake)/rambly

honestly i feel like said post gets into the lesser discussed aspect of the mtl fandom as i believe a lot of us want to view it as different than other fandoms with a majority male cast; but it's not. this is a fandom full of misogyny-affected folks, especially of tme persuasion, who never outgrew or if new, elect to partake in, ye olde fandom habits of internalized misogyny shining through like it's their goddamn guiding light.

i dont know exactly how to phrase this in a demographically correct way, but it feels like despite the mtl fandom being overwhelmingly queer and a lot of the misogyny-affected tme folks being trans... the "i'm not like other girls" mentality was not broken out of; people decided "i am not a woman" and suddenly unpacking internalized misogyny wasn't a thing they decided they had to do anymore!

like. it feels like mtl fandom is about being "quirky" and shipping dethklok together but god forbid you wanna focus on the women in the show; abigail, amber, trindle, etc. it's... a tale as old as time (as those of us who have been in fandom spaces for a while would know) and it's so fucking saddening.

i've seen media analysis and critique of this show (MOSTLY YOURS!!) but more often than not it feels like the fandom doesn't want to delve into that either; they like mtl on the surface level. because it's edgy. because it's metal. because it's funny. because they find xyz member of the cast sexy. and i feel like this interwined internalized misogyny being projected out via mtl fandom behaviors with this complete lack of regard for the quality aspects of the show and the depths of the characters within it... i dunno. as i said, it's saddening.

...again, i hope this wasn't too word salad-like, or rambly, or long, or anything, but oh my god your post got the gears turning in my brain head so full of all the thoughts ever-

and yet again, AMAZING analysis, incredible dedication, and fantastic feminist critique.

don’t worry darling this wasn’t too long of an ask and i find it VERY intriguing.

because yeah i do absolutely fall into both camps of this to an extent. i love shipping the boys and talking about them, because i do love them as characters, but yeah it’s so easy to fall into the trap of not caring about the female characters in the show. and i would agree, again to an extent, that the female characters were not given much care or time from the show to properly be explored in a meaningful way (though, how much of that was a deliberate choice by the crew and how much of that just happened due to adult swim meddling in the latter years, we’ll probably never know). i always find it interesting, for example, how fandom will latch onto magnus but not care about abigail, despite abigail having more screentime and having a major impact on the plot of the show (had the band never broke up over her, salacia wouldn’t have attacked when he did, forcing them to finally learn about the prophecy and the doomstar arguably before they were ready, AND without salacia’s attack, the revengencers wouldn’t have been able to catch dethklok at the funeral and kidnap toki and abigail). of course with abigail, it’s not just misogyny playing a role there, but racism too, though luckily there have been some people calling out fandom treatment of her.

i’ve talked a bit before about how much it sucks that abigail wasn’t given really anything to work with, but it also makes sense given that the show is from dethklok’s point of view and they don’t really care about her either. that’s why it feels so strange (and SHOULD feel strange) to see nathan proposing to abigail in aotd—we didn’t know anything about her because he didn’t know anything about her, and that was kind of the whole point of that arc in the movie. women are objects to dethklok, and because of that, they become objects in the show, and i do think the statements “this is a deliberate critique of misogyny reinforced both by powerful men and metal culture” AND “this is a result of the crew failing to create and integrate meaningful female characters into the show” can both co-exist. honestly, i think mtl has a lot to say about gender (idk how much of that was intentional, but i’ve been thinking about it for a While and want to make a long analysis post or video about it at some point).

regarding the fandom spaces i mean. fuck, you’re talking to a decently popular lesbian mtl creator. i have one foot in the camp of being a misogyny-affected person (tme also, for reference) who makes up a majority of the fandom, but also the other foot is in the “not attracted to men” camp. as much as i like the shipping and smut writing for funsies, i genuinely feel like there’s more to this show than most people give it credit for. i have written so many analyses about it (with plans for more) for a reason. i’ve been in online fandom spaces for about half my life now, and no other piece of media has made me have this many fits of divine madness.

all this to say, yeah, it’s a silly adult swim show, i’m sure 95% of what we see on screen we’re not meant to think too much about. but the reality is that, the text belongs to the readers once it is out in the world, and the way readers respond to it can reflect internalized biases or thoughts. that’s not always the case! sometimes i just wanna see two silly long-haired men kiss because i think it would fix them. but you don’t leave your biases and oppressive thoughts at the door once you enter fandom. and i certainly don’t leave my literature MA or gender studies degree at the door either!

[scovilletwothousand]

this is a PERSONAL OPINION but my personal pet peeve is those people who are like “i thought mewgulf were married and they weren’t i’m so heartbroken, i can’t believe it was just fanservice. but now i like zeenunew they’re definitely married!”

like please, how do you get tricked by the EXACT SAME KIND of fanservice not once, but twice?

have none of them heard the phrase “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”

EDIT: guys i need you to know that i have a personal life and don’t keep up with the lives of bl actors, idk what woody show you’re talking about and i only vaguely know of masked singer. i know there are some out actors like cooheart, fluke natouch, and porsche apiwat, and porsche is actually married! he acted in a bl with his literal husband! like there are some very cool queer actors in thailand! this is about people who fully believed mewgulf were married, raised hell when they weren’t, then turned and fully believed zeenunew were married without even possibly thinking they might be similar. (this was before the masked singer btw, i heard this take MONTHS ago, like right when cutie pie was coming out, im just fucking slow at voicing my thoughts) this is about a very specific brand of people i’ve only seen like twice on the internet

LIKE I SAID IN THE TAGS they are adorable, they have great chemistry, the whole shebang. i’m willing to believe that they’re dating, but if it blows up as fanservice JUST LIKE MEWGULF then i don’t wanna hear anything, because this is about being victim to fanservice once and then when a similar thing happens just accepting it as is without even the thought that it COULD BE fanservice agair

if i’m flat out wrong and zeenunew do turn out to be dating or married, then i’m happy for them! i’m glad they found happiness! i’m just saying that bl couples (not just mewgulf, not even just thai ship couples) have a history of being all over each other and then completely ignoring each other once the contract is up. that’s why it’s fanservice. it’s not bad (like i said, zeenunew is adorable) but we KNOW that almost everything in celebrity life is fabricated, then fabricated to look real, then get tricked every time!

just like, believe what you want, because that’s what i’m doing, but be careful!

also, in regards to one other thing, i’m not???? a mewgulf stan???? i literally never was? i almost had to dnf tharntype and i hated it so much that i didn’t even watch tharntype 2. i haven’t seen literally anything else new or gulf have put out. mewgulf was adorable and zeenunew is adorable, but i’m not fans of either pair, i just enjoyed cutie pie so i get a fuckton of content about it and zeenunew lmfao

i also haven’t seen literally any of the “coming out” things you guys are talking about so maybe i am wrong! i wrote this post at like three in the morning because it came to mind as something i was thinking about MONTHS ago when cutie pie was just airing, and i thought about it again when i saw a zeenunew edit on tiktok. maybe i am wrong! i’m a cynic and an asshole! and i’m happy for zeenunew if they’re happy together! it’s just my personal philosophy not to ship real life human beings so i just get bothered when it happens, even to married couples!

[pinkyjulien]

Y'know, I wasn't sure if I should reblog this one post there, especially since people went out of their way to censor it by mass reporting it alongside other posts, getting my wholass blog flagged as well

Thankfully, a year later, I've been able to appeal all the posts, simply because I never found out what was flagged, assuming it was sexy/skimpy virtual photography.

But no, it was simply this.

A fandom who can't handle queer men, queer player celebrating the smallest crumb of queerness confirmation on a niche NPC. This really got y'all sooooo butthurt- but fuck it, I will reblog it here, now that I can :>

Pardon my saltiness, this got me so upset yesterday and I never got to talk about everything that happened to me regarding all of this.

Remember how the fandom reacted, btw? For the new commers that thankfully dodged it all, here what went down.

Shortly after this stream/post, a lot of people started to cry about it.

A popular Goro/FemV shipper made a post calling out Pawel and how "Devs shouldn't have any place in fandom spaces"

Yes, we're talking about a dev who said "Oh yeah we left hints on purpose in the game"- mind you this Goro Shipper, alongside others, were going apeshit over the possibility of Goro having hidden voice lines/interaction in Jig Jig street, asking about it on streams (Yes, Pawel's streams) but I guess Devs confirming and giving hints is only valid when the fandom decides it!

Another person, this time a Mitch shipper, got an anon telling her about this info; being a Mitch/FemV shipper you can imagine how well she reacted. After telling Anon to fuck off, she apparently wrote smut of Mitch "eating pussy", I guess in an attempt to counter the Gay allegations. And if you think that's fucked up- yes, yes it is! That's about the most transphobic and homophobic shit ever; I'm not saying the person is, but what she wrote WAS highly phobic.

I was, of course, accused of being that Anon, despite the fact this person has been blocked for almost 4 years now, and I've been doing everything in my power to avoid her at all cost

In my Trans Awareness Day post, I mentionned this "fanfic" at the end, and how "eating pussy" is NOT a hetero/cis only sexual interaction, and of course some people thought my post was "too agressive"!

Last year, while reporting and blocking one of the many harassing anon blog of the fandom, I stumbled upon a post; an anon trash-talking me, my ship, talking about Mitch and how my "gay headcanon" wasn't valid since my V is trans.

This post broke me, I won't even hide it, this was such a low blow, nasty fucking comment from a pathetic asshole hiding behind a screen.

This fandom is so passively queerphobic with a nice fake paint of inclusivity. Complaining in private about how much of a "waste" gay characters are. Sharing disgust of seeing canonly bisexual characters, such as Goro, being shipped with Male OCs.

I hate every single persons who participated in this; supported this non-sense of "Devs shouldn't confirm anything unless it pleases ME"

Supported the transphobic fanfic of "eating pussy makes a man love women"

Again, I never spoke about it publicly and never had any ""occasion"" to. Not that I ever wanted to poke that fucking beehive of highschool bullies, but seeing what flagged posts caused my whole blog to be censored enraged me

My apologies for the PURE fandom wank there! It's been eating me since yesterday, now that it's out in the open I'll feel better :>

BITCH HELLO??????? HELLOO??????????????????

CONFIRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMED FULLON

[will80sbyers]

I hate when people compare Steddie to Byler. Those two ships (in canon especially) are not the same. At all. They act like Byler not happening wouldn't be queerbaiting because then Steddie would have been queerbaiting. When it never was??? Steddie not happening is not and never will queerbaiting. It doesn't make it queerbaiting when actors are asked about the ship and they say they like the idea or whatever. It annoys me SO much when people act like these ships are the same thing or that Byler wouldn't be queerbaiting - or when people say Steddie was queerbaiting because then it makes people say that Byler not happening wouldn't be queerbaiting.

This isn't me hating on the ship btw. I think it's fun. I don't care if you ship it, I do like it as a fun ship too. But it was not fucking queerbaiting and Steddie and Byler regarding canon material are not the same at all. Steddie was never romantically coded. Neither of them is confirmed to be a queer character and being in love with the other.

not much to add to this! Steddie does not exist in canon, deal with it people. I'm tired of this discourse, byler is completely different under every single aspect
