#you're very shippable platonically though?

[bea-l-t]

Why is everyone in aftg so hecking shippable?? Like literally I think I could justify any (within unproblematic reasoning) coupling with any characters except for like Riko and for some reason Nicky.

[tbgkaru-woh]

i saw a little bit ago that you said you don't ship wangxian (and before you smash the delete button LEMME EXPLAIN THIS IS NOT HATEMAIL) so now i'm curious as to what your fave wwx ships and lwj ships are, if you have any?

:'D you're all good WWX: funnily enough i like most platonic ships with wwx! I loved him with nhs a lot and then they just kinda...dropped the friendship altogether? my friend loved the idea of wwx/lxc as drinking gossiping bitches and while i don't see it it's like ship-in-law :'D i enjoyed his friendship with wen qing during his farmer arc, i LOVE the idea of hatefuck wwx/jzx, or well, more like hatefuck turns soft because things are said and revealed and wwx can't look at jzx the same (/positive). him and jiang cheng have deeper storyline than wangxian to me so if wwx's whole purpose was to platonically be everything and more for his "brother" that'd make his character excellent to me. i also had a headcanon while watching the show that wwx and xue yang were biologically brothers but each took VERY DIFFERENT path in live/was provided with different care. i REALLY love their on-screen chemistry and would love more of that in either direction, yllz wwx joining with xue yang somehow or "fixing him". or become greater archenemies even. i really don't like his behavior with yanli and lwj, yet those are the main ones for his character :'(

LWJ: i don't think i have any proper ships for him (hence why i don't draw much of him :( ), he was just so stoic and repressed i wanted to hear him sing, you feel me :') i enjoyed the problematic gusu trio doing all sorts of things with and to him, i like the idea of warprize lwj/wens with lans, drunk lwj was just so adorable and i wish more were privy to that sight of him :') i know jiang cheng and lwj are suppossed to like...not like each other because of how wwx acts around the other but i've never personally seen it, it's very fanon-y, at least coming from the show.

wwx is very shippable to me (apart from the main two characters he's meant to be connected to, just my luck) whereas lwj is not shippable to me at all (even though i like lwj more out of the two, i think it's just the nature of their characters and wwx interacts with others more, so naturally it comes up more)

Iris West-Allen for the character ask game 👀

How I feel about this character

I think she's awesome. We really get to watch her grow over the course of the series and watching her truly discover herself as a leader and hero in her own right is really wonderful to see. While she occasionally has powers here and there, she's a great example of a badass normal and proves that a powered character (Barry) doesn't need a powered love interest in order to be in love with someone who is every bit their equal. Iris is no damsel in distress; she's going to try to find a way to save herself every time.

That said, I wish her agency was more consistently her own. Her plots often get co-opted to serve other character's plots (most often Barry, but it's also been done for Allegra which was just weird...) which puts a lot of her achievements in the background or sub-plot area instead of centering them the way she deserves.

(The fact that she goes from student to journalist with no graduation in between is really frustrating. She's Barry's best friend and yet he's never shown as being super excited to attend her graduation and celebrate her achievement of a Masters degree??? S1, asleep at the wheel right there...)

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Barry, Eddie, Cisco, Caitlin, Lisa, Leonard (more for ColdWestAllen than for ColdWest on it's own though), Ralph (but again more for ElongatedWestAllen than DibnyWest itself), Linda, Laurel, Sara...

Probably more tbh, she's very shippable

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Barry again, I kind of prefer the platonic ship for them because of how their dynamic in S1/S2 is (though obviously the romantic ship grew on me...)

Cisco, Caitlin, Frost, Allegra, Kamilla, Linda, Ralph...

Everyone wants to be besties with her, okay? :D

My unpopular opinion about this character

The show does a terrible job of establishing Iris' feelings for Barry as romantic in the first several seasons.

In season one especially there is so much of other characters telling her how they think she feels, but every time she establishes what her feelings are for him are... those feelings are platonic. Aside from the cheating kiss that was the worst decision ever made by the show runners (and made kinda creepy given how it's been romanticized by later seasons) and was a heat of the moment thing that happened after yet another character (Linda) was telling Iris 'I think you're in love with him based on your stated as platonic, sibling-like behavior with him'.

Basically every 'shippy' moment I've seen pointed out for the first two seasons fits entirely with Iris' stated platonic feelings and can really only be interpreted as romantic interest if her stated feelings are ignored. (Especially Joe trying to get Iris to say she wouldn't have dated Eddie if she knew Barry liked her; way to take what she was just saying out of context despite the context having literally just been established. >_<) Iris is the one living in her own head, I wish other characters would respect that she knows what her emotions are better than they do.

This essentially leads to the problem where when Iris and Barry get together it feels less like it's happening because Iris is in love with Barry and more because everyone and their time-line reading AI has told her she marries Barry. And since trying to deviate from that got Eddie killed, what choice does she really have? She loves Barry, but is she in love with him? It's painfully unclear for quite some time and the show itself doesn't even acknowledge this problem until (briefly) in S9.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I wish she'd been looped in on Barry being the Flash from the start. Locking her out of the loop 'for her protection' only ever put her in more danger than she'd have been in if she'd been kept aware of what was actually going on.

Hi, for the character ask game could I ask 5, 8, 11 and 14 for Solid? 💕

Hello and thank you for your ask 💕

5. What is one thing you would change with this character (it can be their appearance, arc, personality, etc;)? Hm, for Solid, this is a very good question. He is not very likeable and my least favourite Silva. But I wouldn't change his jerk personality altogether, at least if it's to change it from the start completely, to make a different person out of him. But for a redemption arc, for Solid to make amends towards Noelle, then maybe yes, then I would change his personality.

I would change his behiavor towards Noelle when they were children. Even though since he was just a little boy, losing his mother and without a proper adult to guide him, his grief lead him to search for a scapegoat. I don't excuse him, but I know what the root is. Maybe he could have been less crueler towards Noelle? It is just that with this kind of thoughts, I always wonder how the Silva siblings could have been if they had a proper adult helping them when they lost their mother.

For the appearance, maybe I would give Solid long hair, because he is not only the sole Silva whose name doesn't start with a N, but also he's the only one of his siblings with short hair. I wonder how he would look like if he had long hair like his siblings.

8. Is there a ship that makes the most sense for this character (can be romantic or platonic)? Another good question, Solid is somehow the least shippable out of his siblings, at least for me XD

If we exclude potential OCs, I saw Alecdora being shipped with him and I can see where it comes from. I also saw Langris once and in a fic (practically a Black Clover version of Bridgerton, you can read it here if you're interested), he was even paired with Fragil. I think the Alecdora ship is the one that makes somehow the must sense to me, but Solid is still a bit unexplored territory when it comes to ship.

11. What has been this characters most defining moment? Or have they not had it yet? His defeat to Noelle during the Royal Knights Selection exam was certainly satisfying. But I think the moment that actually impressed me the most was when Solid openly recognized Noelle during the attack of the Elves, before she and the others went into the Shadow Palace. Of course, it doesn't seem like much, but when we consider who Solid is, what his past with Noelle was... it is actually big coming from him and I loved that moment. A redeeming moment for Solid, his start of being a better person in my books.

14. What trait do they find most admirable and how often do they find it? Solid certainly takes a lot of pride that he is a royal. Otherwise I'm not sure. But in the future, I'd like to think that he could take some pride of learning a bit of humility.

Oh, that's a headcanon I had sometimes, it's something innocent and stupid, but I imagine that Solid secretly loves to play guitar (a secret, because a guitar might not be an considered instrument fit for a royal) and that he is actually good at it. (This mostly comes due to a headcanon about how each Silvas is good with at least one instrument to play... Even Noelle, despite the fact that she is the worst singer, but that doesn't mean that she can't play, right?)

[tolkien-feels]

You know how you're aro-ace or queer (are you? Please, if I get your sexuality wrong I'm so terribly sorry, since I'm from a very practising Catholic family, yk, and I'm not very good with pronouns and sexualities), do you have those fangirly-feelings for fictional men/ people? Or do you just think of them platonically?

(Oh my god, I'm so sorry of this makes you uncomfy, I really am trying to find out how people of different sexualities feel like towards certain people (my family has a strict ruling on sexualities, yk, but they tell us to not to disrespect them))

Good on you for trying to learn directly from people who experience what you are curious about! That is awesome and not as common as I wish!

I am ace, yes, but I'm biromantic, so my answer will be (probably) very different from someone who is aroace. And I do very often describe myself as queer, a bit like sometimes I say I'm chronically ill and sometimes I say (specific diagnoses that I am Not sharing online) - "queer" is a useful shorthand for me.

I'll put this under a cut for length.

While it's an ego boost to know you think of me as someone friendly enough to answer your questions, I really want to make it very clear that this is how I personally feel. I can't speak for everyone or even for a majority of people. If you go around asking your friends what it's like to find someone sexually attractive, I'm sure you'll get many different answers - it's the same thing with romantic attraction.

Okay, so for fictional crushes - I don't particularly get them nowadays except very briefly ("Oh, this scene was very attractive! Okay, moving on." rather than "OH MY GOD I have a crush on this character!!!!"), but when, for example, I was a teenager, oh yeah, I got fictional crushes all the time!

This is difficult to explain because I don't fully understand sexual attraction, so it's hard to explain how what I feel is different from it. But while my friends used to talk about fictional crushes in terms of how hot they were or "why can't I find a person like this to make out with 😭" the way I experienced crushes was like... warm and fuzzy feelings and butterflies in my stomach and many "!!!!!!!" emotions while thinking about said fictional crush, but it didn't occur to me to want to make out with them, and if someone directly asked me about it, it was like "Ew, no, don't ruin it, I don't want That."

This is different from platonic attraction, which is "I want to be friends with them!!" To overshare - using the Lay of Leithian as an example because I've found out I'm remarkably consistent about it regardless of adaptations or versions of the story: would I go on a date with either Beren or Luthien? In a heartbeat. I don't have a crush on them (in that I don't particularly spend my time daydreaming about them), but if they were real and asked me, oh yeah, for sure, I do find them romantically attractive. Would I go on a date with Finrod, though? No, god, no. Wonderful character, would love to have him as my best friend, even, but I would have zero wish to do anything romantic with him if he was real. And it's not because I don't enjoy linking him to romance - I actively ship him with Amarie and can be persuaded to ship him with virtually anyone else. Shippability is different from "I personally find this character romantically attractive."

So yeah, especially when I was younger, I very much did get the experience of vibrating in a frequency that shatters glass while thinking about how attractive a character was, I just didn't get the "Oh, hot 😏" memo. I still actually regularly struggle to remember innuendo is a thing, because my mind very rarely goes there.

Also, since this is a Tolkien blog, let me share a very specific thing. You know this scene?

I have spent the past 20 years trying to understand what is hot about it. For me it's like, it's a scene. A cool scene, I guess, but there are so many cooler scenes. I literally don't get what people see in it? And so many people, too, so clearly there's Something hot about it, but I just feel confused? I have had so many conversations about it, but for me it's like saying "Actually, the most attractive character in the movies is Treebeard." I'm like "?????? Did I miss something vital????"

...I've spoken a lot and I'm not sure any of this was at all useful? But long story short, yes, I can be attracted to fictional characters, but I don't really find them hot. Aesthetically beautiful, yes, but not whatever weird thing people mean when they say someone is hot.

✨Shipping✨

I love shipping. I wanted to just jot down some quick things that might be useful to know when writing with me and shipping ever enters your mind.

[I'll be talking about romantic shipping here, I love platonic stuff and pm Anything goes there you can absolutely do platonic stuff with me go nuts.]

I do not ship robots with humans, it just ain't my thing. My human AUs are Very present on this blog though, so things can always be arranged...

I am multiship! ANYBODY can ship with me, I'm not exclusive with anybody. You got a multimuse and you wanna ship 2 characters with the same muse? We'll AU that shit no sweat!

I do not do polyam-ships with more than 1 blog, not because I have an issue with it, but I've just had a bit too many bad experiences where the communication between muns was poor and people ended up feeling left out, myself included.

ALL my muses are shippable, as all my muses are of age or. yknow. robots. I am however slightly hesitant to ship bot!Elio with just Anybody, as while she is a bot, yes, she is very childlike and vulnerable, and if you're going to ship with sol, I'd prefer a... Size-similarity, as well as Very good communication with the other bot he'd be shipped with. Don't be creepy or weird, please.

Bot!Asterope is Very flirty, and will most likely flirt with your bots a Lot. This is NOT me consenting to a ship, nor is it me Pressuring you to ship with me. Asterope is just Like That, he is very lonely, and Fazbear Entertainment has crammed him full of knowledge of various plays, dramas and musicals. If you've seen Wall-E, you know what this does to a robot.

Human!Sunny is gay. Self-explanatory, you wanna kissu you gotta be a boy.

I am open to suggestive roleplays, but I don't think I'll end up writing anything explicit on here. Not because I want to keep this kid-friendly, considering putting up an "18+" on the blog honestly... But 1: Most other blogs don't seem to be down with it and that's okay, I don't want them to feel like they have to dodge my threads, 2: I am not always in the mood honestly, I am ace and my desire to write smut is very up and down tbh, and 3: I have performance anxiety LMFAO, and tbh it might take a good while before I even feel comfortable writing it unless we Really vibe. I don't need all of Tumblr to see my stuff... But yeah I'm down for suggestive stuff, just DM me or get my discord for more-

I love toxic shit. We are all adults (if I put up that 18+ thing-) and we understand the difference between reality and fiction. If you wanna write dark or unhealthy relationships with me, then that's totally fine. We might just have to arrange a few tags to make sure everyone on dash feel safe.

Get my consent. Pretty self-explanatory. Don't push a ship onto me without making sure I'm open to it, and don't keep going when I'm telling you you're going too far. Just... Practise respect.

I do not see my Suns as related to any other Daycare Attendant. First of all, they are robots, and if they meet anybody Else, I consider them having been made Separately. The trio is like a little family (which is why I don't want to ship 2-3 of them with the same person in the same universe). Don't assume relationships with them, they've been through their own lives and have their own relationships. Also don't assume that if I ship with a Daycare Attendant that there's some kind of familial relation between them, because there isn't. I will adjust universes for our interactions, placing them in different pizzerias/plexes if needed, we'll figure it out together.

The human!Suns are not related to your human!Daycare Attendant, unless we Really vibe with that angle and we've plotted it out extensively. Aster, Sunny and Elio are stand-alone characters with their own lives and backstories, just like their bot-versions.

With all that said, come at me let's write a romance <3

[blckmrcls]

rules.

one.   selective and private.

this means i will not follow everyone back.     if i don’t see us interacting,  i won’t follow back.     and if we haven’t interacted within around two weeks of following each other,  then i most likely will unfollow.     i like having my dash clean.     i’m also mutuals - only,  which means that all open starters and starter calls are for mutuals only,  as well as memes.

two.   following back.

i won’t follow back if you:   post hateful content aka anything homophobic,  transphobic,  racist etc.     i also won’t follow if you post too much ooc.     from time to time is okay,  i do it,  too,  but not when ooc > ic.     i also won’t follow any 13 reasons why blogs,  multis with muses are okay,  but i will probably block your tags for the characters.     and same goes for any descendant muses.

three.   memes.

never shy away from sending them in.     whether we’ve roleplayed for years now,  or if we’re new mutuals.     also,  it’s okay to send in as many as you please.     i might not answer all,  but the more you send,  the bigger chances of me actually answering anything,  tbh.     i no longer put a lot of priority to memes,  though.     they get done slowly,  and not at all in any order,  so keep that in mind. 

four.   triggers.

i don’t personally have any triggers that need tagging.     if anything comes up,  will definitely let everyone know,  but as of now,  i’m good with anything.     however,  if you need any tagging,  just let me know.      i do read everyone’s rules,  but after a time i forget,  i’m only human.     so if i forget to tag something,  just shoot me a message and i will do better in the future.     i want you all to enjoy dumblr.

five.   shipping.

i like shipping.     i like it a lot.     however,  wendesday is not an easily shippable character and i do not intend to compromise her character for the sake of a ship. i also roleplay her as a comphet lesbian who is demiromantic and asexual which i will get into in my headcanons. so, if you're only following for a ship, i am not the person. everything with wendesday is a slow burn, romantic or platonic. additionally, i solely roleplay her as a minor so no nsfw or smut will be present here.

six.   pre-plotting.

this blog is mainly plotting - based.     i do enjoy threads which have been at least slightly thought - out and when i have some kind of path to guide me.     this doesn’t mean i won’t do random threads,  but it does mean those will be most likely quickly dropped and i won’t be telling you about it.

seven.   my take on wendesday.

as you may have read in my about section and in rule no.5, i have my own take on wendesday. i will be roleplaying her as a comphet lesbian, but i will be acknowledging what happened in s1 (further explained in a headcanon). she is also demiromantic and it takes a lot for her to create a romantic connection with anyone (not to be mistaken with her being romantic because that will not happen), and she is asexual. i am still figuring out to what level her asexuality extends and that will likely come as i write her, but she is definitely not within the socially described norm when it comes to sexual desires. moreover, i've headcanoned that she is autistic and has ocd (i feel like both are self explanatory but nonetheless, headcanons will be made). lastly, i am going to try and focus on wendesday's latin american heritage, which means that i will attempt to have her speak spanish more (mine is v rusty and it's european spanish, so any native speakers are always welcomed to correct me if i ever do anything injustice) and connect with her culture.

eight.   mun.

hello,  i go by tosia.     she/her,  of age.     english is not my first language,  but i do live in the uk.     love quoting vine and tiktok.     hmu if you’re on gae witch kinktok pls.     i’m very easily approachable,  honestly.     never fear of contacting me,  just keep in mind that should we hit off,  i will not leave u alone,  lol.
