In love with a 2-D Character?! Obscuary Edition!
Blurb: In which you are a character in a popular game the Tokyo debunker boys are coincidentally in love with.
Edward Hart
Granted his favourite character was not part of the selection when the game was first released, he chose Romeo's favourite character.
Why? Because he's seen one (1) fanart of you and Romeo's favourite character looked similar to you.
ABSOLUTELY LOVES YOU, you're so. You're hilarious, he absolutely gets everything you do.
Fandom-wise, he's pretty lax about everything, even in-game farming.
He cannot access the next chapter? Oh well, YouTube it is.
But he's a whale. Uses the Obscuary bar profits to pull on your banner
Gets you maxed out!!
He's the biggest fan of everything fandom. Fanfiction, videos, art, edits. Everything.
He even enjoys watching character discourse because it's amusing.
Isn't addicted to the game, just addicted to hearing your voice.
Has Rui and Lyca go to comic-cons to buy merch of you. Probably has used super-chats on your va if they stream.
He just wants to show his support
(Too much support that the va has made a specific message for him in your voice.)
Probably the biggest supporter of rps too, he enjoys all the headcanons
Rui Mizuki
Sweet sweet Rui, he doesn't usually play otome games. (he's going into this thinking it's an otome game.)
Is kinda disappointed he can't vr it out
Does not choose you as his first choice, chose the first character on screen because he accidentally pressed them
laments it after meeting you in Chapter 1! Your banners take way too long and he has horrendous luck
Your SR won't come home, it's one thing but why won't your R card come home either!? (This is me ranting. Rui come home :<)
Is the victim of many lost 50/50 + banner ending when he needed one more 10 pull for a guaranteed character.
Drinks made after you are an absolute must.
Is the kind of person who is very active in a fandom then just disappears for a while and becomes very active again.
YEAH during that activity, he's leaving kudos/comments on every fanfiction. Maybe he's even writing a few, but won't post them. They're for his own eyes + i feel he's very cautious about showing his art.
Because art essentially is a part of you, and even the drinks he creates are all carefully catered to someone's tastes. Similar to his writing and art, he's just not very keen on showing it.
Re-reads his own work though, just to giggle about it.
Lyca Colt
Omg, wait, he's a bit confused about the entire game, the rhythm game especially but he gets the hang of it.
Gets pouty when he can't do a mission, and that stops him from continuing to read the story.
But! Anyways, onto you.
Likes your design + thinks you're kinda cool.
(IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DEVASTATED WITH WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU IN THE STORY.)
Trad fanartist Lyca? Trad fanartist Lyca.
in cons, he's seeing them in the artist lane, he's getting sales made for your future banners. (Obscuary funds are an afterthought)
Also one of the "Pulls for everyone, doesn't really care who he gets but has a few characters he will avoid pulling.)
He's the type to get jealous when someone else likes you.
You know the "Please respect mine and Gojo's space, we're married and I don't like you shipping yourself with him," (Paraphrased) YEAH, that but not exactly like that. He's just keeping the jealously inside.
Probably really chill about the game. Doesn't really read fanfiction.
He just sees Rui or Ed read some, reads one passage, likes it and draws it out.
Prev [Hotarubi]

Hey you. Yes, you. Sit down, let's have a chat. Grab your favourite beverage and let's get into it.
You don't have to engage with things that make you mad on tumblr dot com. Social media is one of the places where you're able to curate your experience and you should do that. You can curate your experience here more than almost any other social media platform.
If you don't like a certain fandom, you can filter the tags so you don't see it as often. If there's a blog or blogs that you don't like (for literally any reason) you can block them. You don't have to justify these choices, you don't have to tell anyone about it, you can just do it. You don't have to make posts saying that ABC fandom is toxic so you don't engage with it - you can just not engage with it.
And I know this might feel strange to you, but it is perfectly acceptable to be quiet about things you dislike and go play in your sandbox with the people who you enjoy playing with. You don't have to justify why you don't like something, you can dislike something because it just isn't your vibe. And someone enjoying something you don't like isn't a moral failing on their part, it's just human. Sometimes people like different things than you - that's fine!
Fandom is way more fun if you engage with things you do enjoy instead of spending time getting mad/upset about the things you don't. Other people are going to have different interests. They're going to interpret things differently than you and that's okay! In fact, that's good. If we all though and acted the same life would be so boring.
Instead of making posts about how you dislike XYZ and people who like it are toxic, just... don't engage with the people. It's easy. The block button is right there. By engaging with the thing or people you don't like you're actually bringing more attention to it... so just... don't.
The longer you're in fandom the more you'll realize there are people who just enjoy the drama. That's how they want to engage with fandom and that's their prerogative, but if that isn't fun for you then you can simply not follow those people or even block them.
You can easily avoid fandom 'wars' and ship 'wars' by curating your experience and not engaging with the people who are involved in them. If someone said something that made you uncomfortable you can block them. If someone likes a ship you hate then you can block them or filter that ship name. Not everyone is going to like what you like, but them not liking your favourite thing isn't a personal attack on you, it's actually not about you at all.
Curate your experience. Find the people who you vibe with. Filter and block and unfollow the people or fandoms you don't vibe with. It might sound hard, but the sooner you realize that you control your destiny on this site, the better off you'll be.
#fandom#fandom wank#this isn't about a specific fandom or ship#i've just noticed that people are going further and further down the 'you don't like my fav so you're a bad person' path#and that's never a good place to be#because disliking something doesn't automatically make someone a bad person#if you want to get into the drama you do you#if that's how you want to fandom that's fine!#but it isn't how you have to fandom

so a thing this fandom does that remains FASCINATING to me, as a function of the fact a lot of this fandom is people's first fandom or only current fandom, is just... assume a lot of things it does is a scourge that this fandom has invented or doesn't exist outside of it? or like, is uniquely bad here? and i won't deny that sometimes mcyt fandom is a bit more intense by virtue of numbers, but like...
duo names: confusing fandom-injokes to describe duos and groups tend to be an anime fandom thing specifically for many historical reasons, but they're not uncommon. hey quick--if you haven't been in KHR fandom, can you guess what 1827 is? no? i'll give you a hint: that's actually a ship name. or, ygo fans, tell me the difference between puppyshipping, prideshipping, violetshipping, and rivalshipping. my hint is that they're all kaiba ships and two of them are actually the same ship. good luck!
reducing characters to a specific trait: have you read fic in another fandom before? i would recommend you go do so and come back to me. my example here is "sasuke likes tomatoes", for the record.
common au fanon that's confusing to outsiders: my deep cut here is "when i got into certain tv fandoms i was baffled by the existence of sentinel/guide fics", which is a slightly older tv fandom thing so many of you probably don't know what i'm on about. but trust me: in certain fandoms it's ubiquitous and unless you've watched a completely different tv show you're gonna have to entirely pick it up from reading fic. oh hey, hybrid aus and watcher!grian, nice to see your relative here,
fanon being treated as canon: did you know there's this whole bnha character, naomasa, who is treated as canonically having a lie detector quirk? did you know that, best i can tell, that's not in canon anywhere, it just got echoed through fanon enough that everyone treated it as canon? 'fanon trait becomes so ubiquitous everyone assumes it has to be there' is not a new thing. also, batfamily fans, i have been lead to understand the tim and coffee thing is also this.
characters being treated badly to make a different dynamic look better: the fact we have the term 'character bashing' tells you all you need to know, here. if anything my one complaint on this front isn't even that it's happening--it's that i wish bashing and/or "not [character] friendly" was tagged a little more frequently, haha.
characters being reduced to their family dynamics: tale as old as time. "even the family dynamic thing" yes even that. just because this fandom tended to be particularly ship-adverse in the past didn't mean it didn't do basically the same behaviors as any fandom with shipping did with those dynamics, just gen. and other gen fandoms also do that. yes, down to the "and shipping reduces them to a ship, unlike my gen dynamic, which is very in-character; why can't people just be friends?" thing. some of you have to have been marvel fans right.
characters being reduced to their ships: some of you have to have been marvel fans right.
The Discourse: yeah this is an "actively running show" fandom thing, but also a hiatus fandom thing. ask a homestuck about vriskourse sometime. as much as i hate to say it, it probably made doomsday discourse look cute.
and those are just like... some things i've seen people complain about on my dash recently. idk it just hit me there are probably fans in mcyt fandoms who are assuming that some things (like hybrid aus or duo names) are the kind of things that only happen here, so i thought i'd offer some examples of other places they happen! i also have even more examples if you'd like.
to be clear: this isn't shaming anyone for complaining about any of these things. lord knows i go complain to my friends about it all the time, just the other day i was complaining in the category of 'they keep bashing my guy'. it's more of just... a gentle reminder that maybe we're big, maybe we're loud, maybe we have problems... but these problems aren't always unique.
so uh. we're all suffering together i guess...?
#discourse#<- because. yeah.#this isn't meant to start a discourse this is more me laughing about Fandoms Is The Same#its also why i'm not bringing up the More Serious types of Fandoms Is The Same because i don't want to make light of it#and am instead bringing up the pettier ones#this sparked initially by someone acting like duo names are a this-fandom only phenomenon after years of being a ygo fan#and i was like. oh i've done this song and dance many a time.#and then i was thinking about posts complaining about things like fd and ships and everything else and i was like. oh that's an OLD song#so here. so we all remember sometimes that we all suffer together lol#this isn't a vague of anyone in particular i just constantly waver about making this specific post#anyway back to my usual discourse-free self

If Madoka Magica was released in 2014-2017, you'd have tags like #pmmmcritical containing unhinged and opinionated discourse posts like: "Unfriendly fucking reminder to STOP fucking joking about He/ad/less Ma//mi because her death fucking TRAUMATIZED Mad//oka and Sa//yaka and you're a monster if you think a 15-year-old getting decapitated by a witch in front of her friends and giving them PTSD is funny", alongside various random posts rabidly hating on Kyubey or Madoka's little brother.
#disclaimer: this is a joke post and purely hypothetical#you think i'm exaggerating but#back when i was into SU i saw posts literally doing this exact thing#specifically this one about not joking about garnet's reaction to the shard fusions#or various posts hating on the animal sidekicks or human characters#this isn't even touching on the shipping discourse that would have gone down#talks#op#madoka magica#puella magi madoka magica#pmmm#headless mami#fandumb#fandom wank#disk horse#discourse

I’ve always loved the dynamic between the ot3 we've had since 1.0 and with firefly joining the party it instantly became an ot4 for me lol so that's fun! Speaking of firefly infantilization, I absolutely agree with what you said and what’s sad is you know damn well that if the person inside SAM was a man people would’ve cared to explore the odd connection & parallels between “him” & blade beyond “dad & daughter 🥺” posting (not to mention the fact that she’s much older than him). And she literally told kafka to “stop playing with her food” in the jepella trailer. They're partners & equals, not a nuclear family 💀
It's the exact same for me! Well, except I started playing in 1.3, but don't worry about it. As soon as Firefly's identity as a Stellaron Hunter was leaked (wow that was a while ago now) I started waiting to see how they'd portray her relationship with the other three, since they all already had a great dynamic - and wow did 2.2 and 2.3 not disappoint. She joined the ot3 now ot4 easily!
Alas, infantilization is just the fandom fate of any short young looking woman with a man she's close to in her life. Over on Genshin's side, Sigewinne still largely gets treated as Wriothesley's daughter even though she literally saw him grow up and clearly acts like an adult. Nevermind that she, just like Firefly, is the much older one of the two. Just because Firefly actively tries to enjoy her short life in as many ways as she can experience instead of brooding 90% of the time like Blade doesn't automatically mean he's older or more mature... He's just depressed.
That said! There are people with very nice takes out there, even if they aren't directly ship. And since I too am very interested in the dynamic between Blade and Firefly, given their respective situations and wishes - have you seen this comic yet? Only part 1 is out and I don't know if the webnovel (fic?) it's based on exists in English, but just that part 1 is so nice.
#anon#ask#answer#i'll be fair and say mihoyo themselves aren't helping the firefly infantilization#outside her trailers her marketing is essentially just 'the trailblazer's cute waifu'#which hey fine#i ship it too#everyone has two hands#but the portrayal does make people perceive her as much younger than she is#though she isn't teenager level#and neither is silver wolf#both act like people i know who are in their 20s and people older could act like that as well#but fandom is obsessed with found nuclear family#i should make more ot4 and ship posts of every side of the square#i was talking to fero yesterday about some firefly/silver wolf scenarios#hsr#stellaron hunters#that comic i think was also posted on twitter#but i largely only lurk over there and have been doing that for a while#so i miss most things#but in case you hadn't seen it#it's very very good#so good i left my first ever pixiv comment#partly because people were leaving rude comments about how they disliked blade/firefly#because how dare you ship them with anyone who isn't dan heng and the trailblazer right#but let's not mention that other specific ship#or i'll reach levels of hater that could destroy a solar system#anyway i love my ot4 i'm so glad there's other shippers out there#kafbladefirewolf

the way some people straight up have no respect for asou's writing is actually kind of insane to me 😭 like youre a fan of HIS manga, but you outwardly express your disregard for the intentions he had when writing....... disregarding canon can be super duper funsies and cool sometimes, but to straight up say "i dont care what he intended and think my headcanons are more canon than what he wrote because i think he wrote it badly/he sucks at writing this dynamic/i dont like the ship (or whatever) he was trying to imply" is literally just insanely disrespectful IN MY OPINION 😖
i think maybe im just annoyed at how badly people misuse the words "canon", "coded", and "implied" (which im also guilty of occasionally- especially when i first came here) cuz like... "i choose not to acknowledge this thing that is canon or technically canon or implied" is fine (usually). "i know what the author intended but i dont like it or care, so im going to call my headcanon/ship canon and anyone who disagrees is disregarding canon and is stupid because i said so" is NOT fine... ☠️☠️☠️
#where did you guys learn fandom etiquette#OR ETIQUETTE IN GENERAL ?? CUZ WDYM 'ur bad at writing and my opinion is better than the actual source material lolZ'#not caring about canon or implied ships is fine but straight up being like#'well i like this ship better so im gonna say he just sucks at writing romance lol' is WEIRD#'he sucks at writing romance therefore my ship is more canon than the one he actually intended'#like what... ok..?#that is actually just straight up the opposite of what canon means... but ok...#critiquing his writing or expressing an opinion is very different from just disregarding and disrespecting the intentions he wrote it with#this isn't specifically about ships btw but its the best example i have of this#not targetted btw#this post is triggered by multiple things i saw on tiktok and reddit and maybe on here a while ago#dont really remember#also heres your obligatory 'u can do whatever u want but im allowed to call u out as rude if ur rude'#so nobody comes into my replies crying about how im not allowed to be annoyed at them for being annoying#do what u want it literally doesnt matter but u cant be an ass online and expect everyone else to just be silent#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#meows post

Hello! I'm quite new to the idv fandom, and I was wondering why luchinini is so popular among many? No hate or anything like that towards it, I'm just curious!
welcome. it is batshit in here be prepared. AS FOR YOUR QUESTION.... I actually don't know. for me it's the character dynamic. I think they fit together well as far as complimenting eachother. antonio is a romantic hedonist who lives to love and be loved. and luchino is. WELL. other than being a freak for reptiles. a logistical sort with a great curiosity and an even GREATER penchant for sating that curiosity. other people might have different reasons!!!!!!!!!! I just think personality wise they compliment each other well. It's popularity (i say that lightly) could honestly potentially be attributed to the fact they're both Italian. WHICH IS KIND OF FUNNY. a lot of ships are very random here anyway so I wouldn't be surprised lol
#sorry if thia is very lownenergu i just woke up#arenblab#aab#HAVE FUN IN THE IDV FANFOM#been partly having fun and p a rtly losing my mind for 4 years#i lov eit#i do have to admit that#another reason that i ship it#OR RATHEE WHAT GOT ME TO SHIO IT.#Was fandom work#specifically art (circusblades used to be a big one for me)#AND THEN EVEN MORE SPECIFICALLY.#this one fic.#it isn't bad. LIke morally ot anything#IT CAME FROM THE “PRE-PFOFESSOR” ERA. BEFORE HE GOT A CANON SURVIVOR DESIGN#the plotline was that. antonio and luchi (hunter form) are together. luchino#and kne day luchino manages to cure himself of his mutation.#(which yk he wouldn't actually really WANT. he canonically is crazy about it but i was invested so sh...)#so tye baron moves him to the survivor side. and he doesn't tell anyone what happened.#melly finds out though and they become besties. (hence my platonjc luchimelly bias)#baby-steps by mochiipetals if youre curious. im not writing the whole thing down but when i tell you i was checking this#work for updayes everyday.#it is pretty ooc yhough

I see a lot of people commenting on how a lot of other people, especially cishet women, are really fond of slash ships where the two characters, for all intents and purposes, hate or dislike each other in canon. A lot of clips or screenshots of the characters being nasty to or hurting each other along with comments of "Oh yeah, it's obviously true love."
The thing is, I don't think this is some romanticizing of cruel behaviour or even just being desperate for some mlm action... I think it's just the result of a lot of RomCom tropes commonly used in mainstream media. And I don't say this in a good way, just as someone who used to watch a lot of heterosexual romcoms because I like romance stories, and then, for irl reasons, ended up watching a lot of Hallmark Original Movies, which are romcom tropes boiled down to their most basic forms.
And, y'all.
It's so freaking common, in this genre marketed to and written for women, for the male and female leads to start out absolutely hating each other, and especially for the male lead to be quite mean to the female lead only for it to turn out that they just needed to get to know each other a little better and it turns out they have the greatest love story you've ever seen (in-universe at least)! This sort of romance is really common in media marketed at young girls and teens as well, especially older stuff.
And in that context... yeah. If that's a big theme/trope in a lot of the media you see that was written for your demographic, suddenly a pair of people, of any gender, who show that same starting animosity start to look a lot more ship-able, if only because you've seen so many canon ships start this way.
TL;DR: I think this whole thing is more indicative of some very real issues in the way mainstream media treats romance as a whole than something to place fully on the shoulders of shippers. Yes, a bit more media-literacy would be helpful to help people explain why they're drawn to certain ships, but I think even moreso we need to take a more critical eye to the studios and productions that are framing these tropes and influencing these thought patterns as they are.
(Also, this isn't meant to shame or blame shippers for enjoying these ships, this is fandom, have fun, I've just seen a lot of posts complaining about cishet women liking or creating these ships for creepy reasons and slamming them for romanticizing toxic relationships when I think generally that it's more likely they're either enjoying some enemies-to-lovers fun or applying tropes they're used to seeing with het couples in media to same-sex couples.)
#fandom#shipping#my thoughts#this isn't meant to defend people being creepy about things#this is just a topic I see discussed a lot but never in this specific context#and I think it's a very key detail to include in the conversation

Seeing content of your NOTP be like:
On the outside: *keeps scrolling because even though you don't like something, that's no reason to be a prick about it and pick a fight with its enjoyers*
On the inside:
#a goofie movie#reaction pics#fandom#ships#otp#notp#funny#relatable#fanfiction#fanfiction.net#ao3#archive of our own#geek#fangirl#fanboy#obviously I'm not gonna tag any show or ship in specific because I just said we can't be pricks about not liking something#and tagging the ships I don't like for its fans to see is pretty much being a prick about it#just in case#I'm only tagging the goofie movie because that's where the image comes from#this isn't directed at it in any way shape or form

I recently saw a person comment that Rogue was better off without Remy in her life.... My brother in Christ she literally went on a rampage. She tried to kill a man. She tried to kill several people in trying to kill that man. She fell into a coma in part as a result of this. She literally tried to join magneto against humanity. Her actions in helping magneto unintentionally lead to wolverines fucking bones getting stolen. And you think she's better off without him? I love rogue so much but she makes some objectively pretty bad decisions when she's had her emotional support Cajun forcibly removed from her.
And when Remy isn't in the picture all together look what happens look at the X-Men movies and how she's portrayed. You may not like Rogue and Gambit as a ship and that is totally fine but Gambit is basically the last line of defense from her being used as pure creepy fan service to the audience a good chunk of the time from what I've seen.
You only think she's a better character without Remy and more complex because he's literally a grounding force in her life her life gets incredibly toxic and complicated in bad ways without him. It's why he's considered her home and harbor. Even if the relationship was entirely platonic he is often just someone she can go to for anything and helps her cool her head and keeps her from falling back on bad coping mechanisms.
#im sorry#I just don't understand this conclusion at all#ship what you want to ship#this isn't even about ships honestly ship her with Scott if you want and make the love triangle there even more complicated#but like objectively in Canon when Remy is not present Rogue gets treated really badly#or she just has the worst time#and her story kind of revolves around the fact that Remy isn't there or how depressed she is#that's not to say that she doesn't have good arcs without Gambit being present#but removing him from her life entirely tends to end up bad#fandom discourse#I'm sorry I needed to rant about this#romy#this is like taking away someone's psych meds and then saying they're more interesting as a result#specifically avoiding most fandom tags so people can avoid ship drama#mod talks

"your ship will never be canon" yeah my ship is a four-person polycule where two of the people are basically a canon couple, two are dead, and two hate each other, what the actual fuck did you think i was expecting? use your imagination.
#this isnt about a specific ship i just used an example that would make this extra exaggerative lol#the example is mipha x revali x link x zelda btw lmfaoooo#but it doesnt matter cuz this can apply to literally any noncanon ship#why the fuck are people so obsessed with exclusively canon#aus exist for a reason- have fun with them#REJECT CANON#as long as its in a way that isn't genuinely harmful then why should fiction have these limitations#especially FANfiction#'ur ship doesnt even make sense' i MADE IT make sense dickwad#fandom#fanfic#fanfiction#meowing (yapping)

What happened to just smashing two characters' names together when making ship names...
No, I don't care if it's a nice play on words or whatever. Just mixing the names together makes it easier to know who the hell you're talking about. Plus, it makes it easier to look up compared to if the ship name's just a common phrase or smth
#this isn't directed at any fandom specifically just a general pattern I noticed#is this a hot take? idk but stop it#I'm not even into most ships I just don't know who the fuck you're talking about#zazz yells at the void

I'm in a mood right now and I'm going to load my queues back up soon so my blogs are more than just bland salt, but truly fandom was a mistake, I don't think I'm having fun with it at this point, and I want to just go back into my hole where I reblog or RT fanart and shitposts and just avoid anything with a whiff of discourse.
And, yes, that means avoiding the legitimate conversations, too, bc a lot of people don't know how to act in the mentions of those. I want to be ignorant of fandom shit, the real world already sucks so much ass.
#bog post#ugh also i have to work today and I'm getting a late start#crankiness all around for me#stay salty#I'm legit getting gunshy about sharing my BG3 OCs or headcanons in public#bc I've seen the things people say about the types lf PCs i make or ships i lile#even ostensibly people i agree with generally#and the vitriol and open blanket judgments in such a 'young' fandom#(vs like the DA fandom which has had years to get THIS toxic and specific and shit)#is just... man i don't know#i know the early access was out for a while but things exploded into a legit fandom on launch#i feel like I'm just chilling here with my drow PCs and my m/f ships#and it's a coin flip of whether or not i can just browse fandom tags without catching a half dozen strays#i know 'not all' whatevers#I'm an adult who can process whether or not something is ABOUT me#but that processing still takes work and it's wearing at me#fandom is meant to be fun and this isn't fun

It kinda sucks how Optimus Prime is a character who people (in real life) expect to be so Indubitably Good All The Time that they immediately shut down and refuse to acknowledge him whenever he does bad things or fucks up. Like I don't think I've seen any other character in this fandom get the same instantly negative reaction/never talk about him ever treatment that IDW Optimus gets.
Like, it's either him being a cop or the annexation of Earth. But instead of actually engaging with the story and going "so how does being a cop affect the way he treats and is treated by others" or "what led Optimus to annex Earth and how is this a reflection of his ultimately heroic ideal to treat organics as equal to Cybertronians despite the historical racism of his species"
people just instantly shut down and go "oh he's an asshole, he's stupid, he's not my Optimus, he's a bastard, he's edgy" etc etc and refuse to even like fuckin talk about him
It's so incredibly childish lmao especially when the IDW1 continuity in particular is already rife with characters who are also assholes that do stupid/regrettable things but people have no problems talking about/analyzing their stories.
My kingdom for a fandom that's willing to talk about IDW Optimus without immediately shutting down and just going "he's bad he's a bastard he sucks"
#squiggposting#discourse#idw op love#it's very annoying and kind of why i don't try to talk about him as much as i used to#i'm kinda tired of bracing myself for negative reactions every time#and tired of the general fandom silence about him#worse than hating them ppl also seem to make an active effort to ignore or to erase him#and it's the spite of that. like it's one thing to just not be interested or not care#but it's another to actively shun and ignore and erase him#it's not even just the cop thing either. ppl refuse to engage with any idw op specific lore that isn't like....#idk his relationship with sen. SW? but that's for shipping purposes#of course ppl care about OP lore when it's time to ship him with someone else#but how many people care about IDW OP for who he actually is? hardly any#even w/ continuity soup people take out the cop part they dislike but they never try to write idw op's personality#so like it's not just cop hate. ppl just genuinely don't like idw op's personality or care about him in general#which i have to ask why the hell not because this is literally a feral and flawed prime that people keep saying they want#people keep saying they want an OP who isn't universally beloved and gets criticized for his hypocrisy and stuff#IDW OP IS RIGHT HERE WAITING FOR YOU TO ENJOY#ppl just genuinely can't stand the idea of an OP who's a real person and not just Inoffensive Fun Dad or Sad Woobie
