What are your top 3 Peppino ships?

I feel like i am not the person to ask about this bc i only have one ship and its pepstavo 😭😭

#answered #// #/// #//// #///// #i dont even know other popular ships 😭 #like i think i saw him w the noise but i dont really like. the noise… not enough to ship him w anyone but noisette #if i were going to really REALLY try to make a ship out of something #through the specific lens of ‘platonic but homoerotic at the same time’ it would be him and pepperman bc of the comic #as in #when peppino is invited to galas and art exhibits people are like oh my look at him; a new consort?? #and meanwhile hes like eating the entirety of the appetizers table #‘no no no; not this time. he is simply my muse…and i cannot live without him.’ #*dramatic sigh* #tbh i am more shocked that u said 3 bc that implies theres more than 3 and i could ONLY list three if i tried super hard 😭 #can u tell i really dont go through the main tag??? 😭 #NOT to sound like some fucking snob or elitist #but i am like so wholly devoted on characterization #bc at my core i am someone who loves worldbuilding sm #that ships kinda come afterward #(person who has 8 unfinished comic ideas) #theres a reason why i havent really shared any pepstavo stuff either #bc it kinda comes second #its also why i can make almost any ship make sense #augh #*make sense to me #bc if i put enough effort into characterization; i can see how to characters would have chemistry; romantic or not #*TWO #its why despite pepperman being some rando boss #that one comic had people go like 🤔🤔🤔 i can see that…

'#honestly I don’t like seeing it even for kink stuff' GOD THIS tag i feel this so much. if the kink is explored and over and moved past in the space of less than two whole sentences, it doesn't need to be tagged lmao. mention it in the authors/chapter notes or the summary idc, u just dont need to be tagging ur speedruns of kinks that r inherently about being dragged out lol. if its one that is a common squick then at least do 'kink a [briefly mentioned]' instead? yeah it'll still show up in the main 'kink a' tag but at least we will know before going in lmao

ANYWAY im sorry sdgsdghjfhd,, u unlocked a rant i didnt realise i had loaded there

ALL GOOD FRIEND, you get me!!!! It might be a little thing for me to have such a huge rant over myself, but I hate this trend of tagging Literally Every Little Thing so much because it completely ruins the integrity of the archive system 😭 In the same way that tagging non-essential characters and ships clutters and interferes with people searching for content through those (often smaller) tags, over tagging kink content interferes with the purpose of tags in general. Tagging literally any mention of any kink not only clutters or interferes with tag filters, it can also interfere with the actual definition of a tag (like. I 100% understand the worry on not tagging something as ✨controversial✨ as dub/noncon or similarly loaded kinks/topics, but it’s supremely fucking annoying to see people tag fully consensual smut as ‘dubcon’ only because there wasn’t 3k of kink discussion & fully stated ‘yes’es preceding the porn 🙄 ). How do you even filter content if the tags don’t accurately represent the works? How do you accurately gauge your comfort levels with kink fics hellishly overtagged? It’s already difficult enough to filter/navigate works based on people’s differing definitions, awareness and comfort levels, there’s no need to further muddle the waters with overtagging vaguely mentioned and/or blink and you miss it kinks!! If the kink could be deleted from the story and the story remains unchanged, there’s no need to tag it. If you’re really that worried, that’s what ANs are for!! Poor tagging has always been an issue (@ ppl that tag mentioned rarepairs and characters that show up for a single line: do you know that we all hate you and you need to get tf out of our tags 😡), but I can’t tell if the rising trend of overtagging kink is more the fault of purity culture or people just genuinely not understanding the concept of tags (probably both). Either way, it’d be a much better experience for everyone if people realized tags are there to be informative, not a statement 🙄🤦‍♂️
