#yes we shipped real people

[beatinghauntedheart]

remembering the time I wrote an rpf about emo bands attending a high school for music and my ex friends actually read it and gave me new things to add to it

might rewrite it for shits n giggles

My indecisive ass can't choose what person to ship Kakashi or Naruto with so! Polyamory it is then!

[squeezetheduck]

Here’s the thing with people shipping Alastor, I could not care less about who people ship Alastor with or whether they ship him at all, what I do care about though is people making him allo.

This is one of the few cannon ace (possibly aro) characters out there and he can 100% be shipped in verity of ways without ignoring he is ace or aroace.

Make him aroace but still platonicly obsessed with Lucifer or Vox.

Make him sex repulsed or indifferent it doesn’t really matter (I could 100% see him having sex with someone for entertainment purposes just like I can see him being sex repulsed).

Even make him Demi/grey-ace if you must show him reciprocating sexual attraction.

Bonus points if he’s aro and you play around with platonic relationships/QPRs.

I know at the end of the day he is a fictional character and people will do what they want, but please listen to aro/ace fans when we ask you not completely ignore his sexuality when there are so many ways you can still play around with his characterization without disrespecting one of the few cannon ace characters to exist in TV.

like the only thing that makes me uncomfortable about straight boy ships is the like. "female cuckoldry" aspect where ppl are like yeah theyre cheating on their bitch girlfriends bleh bleh like theres always misogyny embedded there and ESPECIALLY if their irl gf/wifes are not content creators or just arent as much in the limelight its like. weird! i realize the phannie is saying this but i do actually have morals with rpf lol and it turns out my moral line is misogyny

[seven-stars-in-his-palm]

i will not choose violence. i will not write a thesis about how everything the fandom uses as shipping fuel is actually thinly veiled abuse. i will not write about how even without the abuse bill has never will never love ford the way they seem to think he would. i will not write about how bill's backstory is not a justification for his actions. i will not write about how we shouldn't accept everything bill says at face value (because for some reason we dont already know this). i will not write about how fod has been reduced to this ship and it is doing a disservice to his character. i will not write

hot take, mike and el arent in love, because they are fourteen

well i guess mike is fifteen but still like as someone who has been fourteen/fifteen

GUESS WHO I WAS NOT DATING:

A. THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

B. MY FUTURE SIGNIFICANT OTHER

C. ANYONE WHO I WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" TO AND ACTUALLY FUCKING MEAN IT

D. ALL OF THE ABOVE (the answer is D by the way)

LIKE Y'ALL THEY ARE FOURTEEN

THEY MET WHEN THEY WERE TWELVE

"I knew right then and there in that moment that I loved you" MY ASS

Bit of a reminder from Misha that some of you need to hear(again).

like it's just the way that outside of the BATB/POTO 'love what's ugly and ostracized' narrative itself cocteau was gay and everybody hated his gall about it, howard ashman was gay and had to conceal it and died of aids after finishing his work for disney's batb.... rather than have dark be homophobic and spitting in the face of his inspirational roots (the sole canon detail i can't stand) it's much much much more interesting for me to both read and write not someone who's meant to be a pervert (in humor) and an agape lover (in serious contextualization) only to turn and say 'no homo' to the crowd every single time but rather, instead of all that, someone who, simultaneously taking daisuke into account, is both extremely firm yet simultaneously insecure in the struggle to establish their identity not only in regards to themselves but also around others.

that applies to a lot, but i've been considering it especially in regards to dark's gender and daisuke's attractions. dark in my portrayal (while overall 500% nonbinary) is closer to someone bi-gender rather than agender; the feminine aspect to him isn't just theatrics, it's actively also part of his entirety to him, (compared to daisuke's passivity; the ten thousand canonical princess allusions,) and even if nobody ever recognizes it in a cognizant way, it is always, always there, the same way that erik blurs and obscures gender in leroux's novel (my second enormous inspiration, sugisaki's outright admitted primary) and sakurai occasionally discusses his relationship as both a performer and a person as well (my third enormous inspiration and sugisaki's secondary,) (see 1, 2.) simply put, the tragedy of (my!) dark does not ever derive from his being able to choose and sit comfortably and confidently with this sort of identity (in fact, it's one of the few things he can stubbornly, viciously decide for himself [alongside daisuke] as essentially a non-human, autonomous 'angel',) it's instead the way that his personality is so strong and 'anti-feminine' in the eyes of convention that said aspect of himself often gets disregarded for strictly masculine (and regardless, further self-contradictory and therefore isolating,) expectations.

dark himself alone does not care if others do not understand him; this is meant to be one of his far more admirable and impressive traits. he's staunchly independent: he knows who he is, what he's supposed to be, and he knows that if he actively presented himself more femininely (crossdressing to 'pass' essentially,) then people's behaviors WOULD be very likely to change around him, but he doesn't even do that because it goes against his overwhelming sense of pride. he never contorts, he never twists himself, what matters to him is that he and he alone understands himself and knows what he is, what he isn't. but he is, without proper support or acceptance, still alone. even bearing a strong character, the stifling loneliness and inherent, underlying self-sense of broken/wrongness of the 'other,' (god's luciferean problem child, the black sheep, the black-leather wearing punk,) is still inflicted on him. dark exists solely for himself, he exists solely for daisuke, which is simultaneously wherein the inversion and insecurities lie: if dark is canonically the live metaphor for all the aspects of daisuke's self that he attempts to and yet cannot possibly, conceivably repress, from his loves to his faults to his shames and his criminal sins as a thief, then the likes of daisuke's own personal confusions in regards to himself and his attempts at intimacy/socialization with others is the other, hidden side of dark's absolute self-confidence; it's every fear of perpetual isolation, misunderstanding, and abandonment for things outside of daisuke's own control.

queerness in relation to the self (transgender allegory) queerness in relation to others (non-hetero-romanticism) mental illness (depression, anxiety,) etc, etc, dark's thematic basis may at its most general simply be "a secret that feels wrong and that you feel you can't really tell anyone or else you'll get in trouble/won't be as liked as much" but it feels much better to give due respect to each of these primary roots.

Oh wait did I get confused, I read it as confirming Jamie as bi, was it confirming Roy as bi?

[pageofheartdj]

I feel like my shipping is like pokemon xD

They have two branches of evolution after it developed into multishipping! It stays that way or evolves into polyshipping xD

[13eyond13]

actually stunned by how gay The Beatles has been all this time and I just never knew

[bitchy-peachy]

"That ship doesn't make any sense! 😂"

And what are you gonna do about people shipping it, bitch? Cry about people having fun with fictional characters?

[spagkeitti]

guys !!! its the husbandz

[youhavelessproof]

ngl I do not understand people holding fictional relationships to real world standards. especially ones that are not set in a normal modern world.

personally I don't like Dickbabs because they are not the kind of toxic I enjoy reading, but I don't think it's a lesser ship because it's toxic.

y'all do realize that these characters exist in a universe in which they are nearly dying every other week, right? it's fine, expected even, if their interpersonal relationships are fucked up.

another example: I personally like holding Bruce to task for being a bad father but I don't think someone is wrong for not doing that or for justifying anything he's done.

this isn't the real world. it's a comic book universe. the characters are allowed to have relationships that aren't typically seen as healthy in our world.

[airbenderedacted]

So who’s your favorite character in Wander Over Yonder? And what’s your fav ship(s)?

Oh, I love playing this guessing game!! ♡ ～('▽^人) ✨

Favorite character? Well...
