#you also ship a non-canon ship

[moliathh]

Ppl will bitch about how Alutegra shippers only ship them bc "oh they don't know how they met lol" as if it wasn't the first fucking thing we saw in the manga and Ultimate

I do think Alucard x Integra is not a canon ship because, classifying them into only one type of relationship, that would strip their relationship off opportunities to be interpreted by fans in a variety of ways (which probably was Hirano Kohtah's intention too since the ending was quite open and he didn't intend for a sequel or addressing the "after that") but it is baffling to completely deny the implication of romance because as I said "open to interpretation" INCLUDING romantic route. Besides that, it's lowkey rude to just assume every alucard x integra shippers are "new" fans, I have seen fanworks older than me. The least we could do is respect our predecessors. And let's not assume other people's interpretation as "mischaracterization" because Alucard and Integra relationship have several points where you can interpret as "romantic" or at least "sexual". And I don't even want to mention that the whole point of shipping is delulu, if you think Alucard x Integra is a stretch therefore "unshippable", you might as well treat every of other ship with the same attitude since besides Pip and Seras, none of Hellsing ships are canon??? And talking about canon couples, Mina Harker is married to Jonathan Harker, it is vague in Hellsing but in the novel she did not have a romance with Dracula, while in the Coppola's movie adaptation, she did have a sorts of romance with him? idk how far was it was hypnosis or romance but to each with their own interpretation i guess? And while we are at it, in that movie adaptation Mina Harker was a reincarnation of Vlad's wife, and they signified it by using colour coding, specifically speaking was dressing her (Mina Harker and Vlad Tepes's wife) in green (This motif had been incorporated into various of later adaptation like BBC Dracula or stageplays). Now who in Hellsing wears dominantly green? Wasnt that Integra? It is clearly a delusional stretch but that's the whole point of shipping?

the idea that there can only be one queer person (+ an outside love interest) in tv shows/movies is so stupid and unrealistic

like besties,,,, we flock like ducks

if there’s one, there’s another ten

in the last seven years of my life (age 12-19) my best friend (at the time) came out and there was like a ripple effect, now i’m a lesbian and friends w more queer people than cishet people

i was gonna say i need a show with a Token Straight Friend™️ but that’s literally tao in heartstopper

JJK Headcanon : SaShiSu Edition!

A list of random things these three would get up to :

Satoru tried smoking with Shoko once... it did not end up well.

Suguru has tried convincing Shoko to quit but to no avail.

Shoko like to get piggyback rides on both of them.

Satoru is the scapegoat for any mean pranks that the three of them get into.

Shoko either sits to the side to watch whatever stupid idea they have or join in (if it doesn't require her to use her RCT).

Suguru is the master mind of (most of) these pranks.

Satoru steals candy from Suguru's pockets.

Shoko has a bag of candy handy to throw at Satoru's face.

Suguru has big pockets, and he intentionally stores candy in his pockets to provide for Satoru.

Satoru finds excuses to hang with the two of them, especially after a mission.

Shoko does a little bit of scrapbooking, demanding more and more photos every time the three of them link up.

Suguru couldn't care less about a damn scrapbook, but he'd be damned if he showed up in less pictures than Satoru.

Satoru's favorite thing to do to mess with Suguru is to poke him.

Shoko will go on coffee/tea runs, getting Satoru some jasmine tea and Suguru a black coffee.

Shoko's favorite thing to do to mess with Suguru is to tickle him.

Suguru only plays video games with Shoko because he got pissed at playing with Satoru (he'd always lose).

Satoru can absolutely dominate the other two in some basketball. At some point, Suguru is quit trying,

Shoko likes to keep the boys up on a consisten skin-routine, so she bought them some cute, matching headbands that're animal themed.

Suguru's favorite thing to do to mess with Satoru is to yoink his glasses away.

Satoru can't help but laugh every time he wakes up to find a stupid drawing on his face.

Shoko is the life of the party, until she is begging to go home, which could take 30 minutes, give or take. Suguru is always the one carrying her on his back.

Suguru sometimes switches up which side his bang is on just to confuse the other two.

Satoru's favorite thing to do to mess with Shoko is to steal her uniform jacket.

Shoko's favorite thing to do to mess with Satoru is to draw on his face when he's napping.

Suguru's favorite thing to do to mess with Shoko is to pretend to be injured to annoy her.

Since I'm re-sharing that Conner Superboy + Superman comic again, I wanna talk about what went into it a bit!

I've noticed a lot of fan discussion over how "in character" Clark's initial discomfort over Conner's existence is. Some people think it's too mean considering Superman is supposed to be a beacon of kindness. Others feel that any re-imaginings that involve the two of them instantly getting along erases that initial tension into conflict-free fluff. Granted in the original source material Clark had just come back from the dead so he had a lot going on, haha. But what about adaptations like in the Young Justice show where he didn't go through the Death of Superman arc? Clark is uncomfortable around Conner, but then Conner saves him in the finale and they're on better terms. It's understated and doesn't tell us a lot about either of them.

So that little comic I made was my attempt at tackling the initial tension between Conner and Clark. Since I wanted my take on Superman to commit to his immigrant allegory, I made sure that the way he responds to things all relate to that theme in some way. He has very personal feelings about what legacy means when he's the last of his kind. How does he pass on culture when he's so disconnected from his own? How does he nurture someone who will eventually carry all the expectations he's set for himself?

And then out of nowhere someone took that very personal choice away from him. Someone's gone out and made a new Kryptonian and Clark didn't have a say in it. It's a violation. Sure, Conner didn't have a say in any of that either, but that doesn't stop Clark from feeling very uncomfortable about the circumstances of Conner's creation. My hope is that by keeping Clark's characterization to his immigrant survivor roots, that initial tension towards his own legacy can still feel "in character" in a way that let's us view their relationship through a new lens. Superman should be allowed to have imperfect reactions to things, it makes him way more interesting.

Anyway this is foreshadowing for eventual Conner + Kara + Kal El stuff.

I’ve been thinking about byler a lot recently, and I’m bored, so heres the main reasons why they’re my favorite ship (in no particular order). (Disclaimer: this is not an analysis, just pure opinion.)

1. Their Chemistry/Dynamic - I feel like I don’t really need to explain this much. In a very opinionated, not analytical stance, their overall vibe is just amazing. This is because of all the things I’ll list below, but when you’re not thinking analytically the chemistry is still obvious. This is what made me want to analyze their relationship in the first place.

2. The natural slowburn of it all - Love at first sight is one of my least favorite tropes of all time. I also don’t like slow burns when their entire thing is embodying the trope of a slow burn, if that makes any sense. To me, Byler is in that just right zone where they feel more natural than they do tropey. Their get together and everything in between will feel natural to me.

3. The cinematography - Byler scenes just LOOK AMAZING. The coloring and everything just always eats. They match! (And when they don’t its during fight scenes!) Their scenes look so comfortable, especially in season 2. I don’t know how to explain it.

4. Actually good arcs - They both have individual arcs. They don’t feel like one was made as a love interest and nothing more. Both are involved in the actual plot of the show, and their romantic plotline feels like its actually being used to get their arcs somewhere or to develop a theme. They feel like they’re worth my time.

5. They’re not THAT obvious - I love having subtext to analyze and things to speculate about. I like that it’s not totally a given that they’ll get together, and that their build up was gradual. I tend to lose interest once a relationship is established.

6. It’s a mutual and uplifting relationship - The way they have a CRAP TON of heart to hearts throughout the show where they’re supporting one another unconditionally??? Mike staying by Will’s side when he’s POSSESSED. Will helping Mike with his and El’s relationship even though he’s IN LOVE WITH HIM. The way their romantic relationship places a lot of value on their friendships (Will being mad at Mike for drifting from the party) and lives outside of one another. The way they’re not afraid to call eachother out or apologize. Their value of honesty and the breaking of it for the better of the other (Will’s monologue). The way Mike’s a better person when he’s with Will. Mike making Will feel like he’s better for being different. They’re exactly what eachother are looking for. Ugh I could go on forever.

There’s more to it, but I think this covers most of it. My brain may be rotting, but at least the ship is actually good.

just wanna say I agree wholeheartedly with your tags on that fandom post. I have been following sunny on here since 2015 and there is a constant cycle of sensitive, and frankly delusional people, who claim the show, make crazy headcanons and justifications to make it tolerable and acceptable to them before they eventually shun and condemn the show altogether. it was very bad in 2018 and made me withdraw from the fandom lmao. I remember being most annoyed with the endless woobifying of charlie and the absolute condemnation of dee above everyone else. like, they're all bad. that's the point of the show. I just don't understand how they could stomach it in the first place

You are a warrior, dude.

The reason it took me so long to join Sunnyblr in the first place was the fact that ~early 2020 I was rarely seeing anything here that was based in canon, mostly weird headcanons that made no sense to me, and Reddit genuinely seemed like a more based place to exist for this show.

I literally needed a friend to give me specific accounts to follow because the tag was (and, sorry, lowkey still is) a nightmare. (Though to be fair I’ve been in fandoms on Tumblr for over a decade and literally never liked scrolling tags.)

I got into Sunny and I fell in love with Sunny because of canon. Because it’s so fucking weird and fucked up but it’s FUNNY, and there’s genuinely nothing like it. The characters are horrible stupid terrible people but they’re actually deeply complex and rich to study, so much so that you feel extremely compelled in a multitude of ways to dedicate yourself to some part of them, or all parts of them. But.. if you strip them of those core identities, of what the characters stand for, that compulsion is gone, void, irrelevant.

Because it’s the extremely raw, almost purely acting on basic instinct, unfiltered humanity, worst parts of the self, inability to recognise or follow societal norms aspects of these characters that are relatable. It’s relatable in a way that *should* make you uncomfortable, feel unsettled, and maybe a little relieved that these parts of people can be acknowledged... That’s a unique and interesting feeling, something people engage with media like this to explore and expand upon, and it’s often something that genuinely helps or supports people who wrestle with a lot of the heavy concepts Sunny satirises (and sometimes just, shoves at you head on).

When people start to disregard all of this, for whatever reason they do, that’s when you end up with the Fandom using Sunny Characters as an “ability to project” or (much worse) a “near blank canvas to play with” (because, yeah, if you strip them of their literal reason for being created and continued existence, ofc you lose their whole identity!?)

The problem seems to be that either 1) they just don’t understand the show well enough to get that they’re disregarding this aspect of the plots and characters, and so they genuinely don’t recognise that the fandom for Sunny exists because of these terrible compulsions and insane trauma exploration and that’s why we enjoy discussing and playing with these characters or 2) they do understand this but they can’t engage with it without some kind of personal moral conundrum or extreme discomfort, so they have to sanitise or completely alter the characters to enjoy them.

The thing is, if you fall into category 2, you just don’t belong in the depths of it all, and it’s an unfortunate truth you have to face. If you cannot enjoy canon, if the actual show makes you extremely uncomfortable and you’re only here for a gay ship or to project your gender and sexuality onto one character, you need to go stan something else. I say that with the greatest intentions for you. As Anon here has stated, it’s an insane cycle in this fandom over and over, you’re just going to upset yourself and resent the show and the people here, because we like the canon and the fuckery because that’s what the show is for. That is the literal point of the show at the end of the day.

Now if you’re in category 1, I heavily encourage you to actually *talk to people about the show and the characters*, read analysis, watch the episodes with different frames of reference and in alternate states of mind. Do your own analysis or character work, try and just write out the plot of your favourite episode and put to words *why* you like it. Hell, try and write a fanfic or a spec script from the mind of one of the characters, even if you think you can’t write.

Honestly, honestly, honestly, if you genuinely like this show at face value but you’re only engaging with fanon because you feel like you ‘shouldn’t’ openly enjoy the canon because it’s seen as ‘bad,’ the best thing you can do is have a conversation with someone, or multiple people, who get the show.

That being said, I do wanna open this shell Discord I’ve made to people. For people who *enjoy* the canon, who want to discuss actual Sunny (and also have fun with it, of course!) you’re welcome to join.

A lot of you get it. I’ve made some amazing friends in this fandom and regularly have extremely stimulating and insanely throught provoking convos with the people I’ve met here. I love it, it drives my insane passion for this show and I am eternally grateful to have found people who love this show for what it is. I hope, if you’re struggling to figure out why you like this show or struggling to accept that you like media like Sunny, you reach out or join a conversation and learn to love it too. And if you don’t, if you genuinely hate the canon of this show and only like the version of Macdennis you saw in a dozen different Tiktok edits to Taylor Swift songs, I really hope you move on for your own sake.

[sasukeless]

just found your blog and having a blast scrolling through it thank you for sharing your very correct opinions with the world, very satisfying. now i'm curious (and sorry if you've talked about it before) what do you think of shisui?

basically

[zia-zee-bee]

Just for your information, Mike has never show any feelings for Will neither.

He canonically has feelings only for El.

And yet, all of you Bylers like to pretend he has, just for some little details, looks or gestures he did towards him.

Why you can do that with them, but the moment we do that with Nancy, who also showed some ambigous looks towards Robin, and Robin showed some towards her as well, then it becomes a problem?

Why are you Bylers the only ones who gets to be delulu?

The reality is that, if Nancy and Robin don't have canonical feelings towards each other, then neither Mike has towards Will.

Neither of our ships will never be canon, unfortunately.

So it's useless that you act like a superior one.

We all already lost.

(Also, how exactly tagging Stonathan would have helped you not being attacked?)

..is this the same anon?

[thepunkmuppet]

I know basically nothing about rowena, but I now finally get what people mean about shipping things aesthetically. because what do you MEAN love of my life sam winchester, 6”4, deeply damaged but lovely straight white dude-man, has a cute, interesting and disgustingly tragic relationship with A TINY GINGER SCOTTISH WITCH WHO’S THE MOTHER OF A RECURRING VILLAIN AND PLAYED BY AN ACTRESS WHO’S OLDER THAN HIM????? WHAT??? I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

like what is this. I love it. I’m obsessed. enemies to friends to lovers, height difference, age difference, and just generally UNCONVENTIONAL AS FUCK for a straight ship??? spectacular gimme fourteen of em right now

[drop-drop]

blablabla "stop saying they're just friends" blablabla "you're all cowards they're obviously in love" blablabla NO

you will not pry QPR huskerdust out of my hands, ever, even should said hands be cold and dead

it's about angel feeling safe to be exactly however he wants to be at any moment, knowing that husk will not act on the flirting and the propositioning!

it's about husk grumbling and telling him to fuck off but still smiling when he has to deal with his antics, still happy, somehow, to find a reason to go to work every morning other than a chain around his soul!

it's about the both of them knowing someone gets them, and carving something solid and precious out of something broken and cold.

i don't care if you ship them romantically and/or sexually, i'm happy y'all are having fun with that, but stop implying or outright saying they wouldn't work as anything else goddamnit

[maxthesillyy]

aro posting, but who (a lot of people) even cares if max and chloe r gonna be canonically dating in double exposure or not. your amatonormativity is showing.

[hermitcraftx]

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.

no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this
