What do you think about the idea of Tiger and Present Mic being a couple?

I have zero thoughts about Tiger and Present Mic being a couple. Not because I don't think they would work but because Mic isn't really a character I think much about. If you're into them being a couple then cool!

Sometimes I feel like I'm the most chill person in this fandom when it comes to ships and characters. Like I can find reasons as to why each ship would work and wouldn't.

Pandalily? Academic rivals FOR SURE.

Jegulus? HELLO??? Bestfriends brother? Grumpy x Sunshine?

Partyvan? Peter deserves ALL that love.

Marylene? Not friends, not lovers, but something. It's so heartbreakingly cute.

I can even find stuff for ships I don't even ship.

Jeverus? After he saves his life? Hell yeah!

Dramoine? ENEMIES TO LOVERS! REDEMPTION ARCS!

Prongsfoot? Best friends to lover? Sure, man, go for it!

Regulus x Sirius?.......... You... You do you bro???

Snily? That "always" line was cute, I gotta admit.

I genuinely won't judge like if you ship them - if you see them working out; GO. FOR. IT. THEYRE FICTIONAL!! Have your own opinions, it's okay!

AND THE CHARACTERS!!!

Yes, they all have their flaws. Yes, James bullied Severus. Yes, James repeatedly asked Lily even though she'd already turned her down. Yes, he changed!!

Yes, Severus called the love of his life a slur. Yes, he bullied children. Yes he cared for Harry to some extent! Even if it's only as a tribute to Lily, that's better than nothing.

Yes, Dumblewh*re raise Harry for slaughter.... That's it... I have nothing more to add for him.... Bitch.

Yes, Regulus is a death eater. Yes, Regulus was obsessed with the dark lord since childhood. Yes, he stole the horcrux!!

Sorry for the rant but like I'm seeing so much hate for so many characters and ships and I don't understand it. There's as much to love as there is to hate. It wouldn't be fair if they were perfect flawless characters. They're designed to be insufferable and loving and idiotic and a little crazy.

#again sorry #but like cmon guys whats so wrong with them #like of course i have my favourites but im not gonna put down someone elses opinions just because they dont line up with mine #and on the Sirius x Regulus ship i personally havent read one but i have seen a few floating on ao3 and like whatever floats your boat budd #que no-lip white guy smile #🙂 #this was rushed btw so my apologies for any mistakes i just saw a few hate video on lily for “ruing jegulus” #and i realised ive seen tons of hate on so many characters #and it really annoys me #also if youve read all this feel free to comment your opinikns bc i love hearing what other people have to say #i cant be bothered to correct how badly i mispelled opinions lmao #snily #prongsfoot #partyvan #jegulus #pandalily #marylene #dramione #jeverus

Scott in 3a literally never saying “STILES” in a “no wait STOP” kinda way, but multiple other people saying it is just so funny to me. Like Scott learned YEARS ago that there’s just no stopping his best friend, but the others still need to learn that this skinny defenseless human doesn’t listen to anyone ever

I think Gepard would also probably like to pick him up by the scruff like a kitten (and throw him in jail) !

Thank you for the compliment @durasposts ;w; I have been enjoying doodling Sampo so I am glad he's been appreciated!

#honkai star rail #sampo koski #trailblazer #gepard landau #not actually meant to be ship art but whatever floats your boat in regards to them ??? #i dont really follow many people on tumblr but i do know on Another Site ive seen fanart of silly belobog boys #many a time so i assume its very popular #too each their own and the trailblazer is just there to be impressed with lifting the much taller male even taller #the way people describe being fond of a character has grown progressively more bizarre to me #and i love it so much tbh ... i like the weird ways of admitting you like a character #im so boring and say oh i like this guy and then others i want to pick him up by the scruff of his neck #or someone i dearly love telling me i wanna swing him around like miss trunchbull would #and im like you know what the oc the person said it about im like thats really fair tbh

Reminder, everyone, that queerness is not a personality trait. It can be an essential part of your identity and representation fucking matters, but your personality does NOT define your gender or sexuality.

The point of this post is not to call anyone out in particular for perpetuating harmful stereotypes about queerness/gender, but to ask people to be more reflective about why we tend to base our understanding of queerness in particular around stereotypical ideas of femininity and masculinity. Hypermasculinity harms all of us. If you are a trans woman, there is no RIGHT/CORRECT way to be a woman. If you are a trans man, you should NOT feel like you are less of a man because you embrace qualities our heteronormative society deems “feminine.” Obviously, right? Well, if you were to observe fandom and shipping dynamics, these values become…murky.

I say this out of the kindness of my heart and with all the love in the world, but folks gotta be more careful when they say, “I can’t believe people think THIS character is straight!!!!” with 100% sincerity particularly regarding a narrative where the author very obviously did not intend to make characters gay. (You’re excused if you say it because you’re just passionate and having a good time and I respect you for that.)

I am bothered by these statements because…upon what exactly are you basing this argument? The problem is, because the author (derogatory) did not intend for people to interpret particular characters as gay/queer, there is a strong likelihood this statement is based on stereotypical ideas of what queerness looks like. “He is dramatic/emotional” is…uh…not a good reason to think someone is gay. A man with stereotypical feminine qualities does not necessarily mean they are gay. A woman with traits associated with hypermasculinity does not necessarily mean they are gay.

Do I think Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks are gay? YES. Do I think Tonks could probably be gender fluid? Yes! Do I adamantly believe that Sirius is a bisexual semi-aro superstar? Also very much Yes. So it’s not like I don’t have opinions or feelings about this. However, there is SO MUCH HARM in believing that men who embrace softness, beauty, and vulnerability MUST be queer. Okay, you say. But in MY mlm ship, one guy is SUPER DUPER masculine and the other one is feminine. Right. That’s part of my point. Hypermasculinity is so pervasive even in queer spaces that ships are often reduced to “this is the top/masculine person in the relationship, and this is the bottom/feminine person.” So…uhhhh…what does this sound like?

Yesterday, I had a conversation with my students (teenagers) to explain why “she wears the pants in the relationship” is an extremely harmful idea. I asked them, “Okay, so what does that mean when you say that?” Students responded that it meant that the woman was the “boss” in her heterosexual relationship—that she was the controlling one.

“So when you say ‘she wears THE pants,’ are you suggesting that one person wears the ‘traditionally masculine’ article of clothing and the other should wear the traditionally ‘feminine’ article of clothing?” I prompted. They could see where I was going with this. So I went on, “Think about what we’re insinuating here. We’re saying that men are leaders—or at least, they SHOULD be. Masculinity is being a leader, and femininity is being a follower. Making a snide remark that ‘she wears the pants’ suggests that she is NOT assuming proper gender roles and it might strike some of us as funny. But do we see the problem with this? What does that sound like to you? And for that matter, should ANY partnership be so unbalanced that ONE person controls it?”

Kids were shaking their heads, but one student was really troubled by this. “But in every relationship, there’s got to be the person in charge and the person who is just…” He didn’t really finish the sentence. I’m pleased to say that most of my students immediately recognized the glaring issue with this. Most of the class shot this kiddo very horrified looks, and he was so shocked that people weren’t on his side (goodhearted kid, but clearly some messed up gender roles going on at his house). I let them discuss a bit more and finished with, “Be reflective in your relationships, friends. Dynamics like this can sometimes point to power imbalances—and generally, people shouldn’t feel inferior in their partnerships.”

Fandom is SO LIKE THIS. We equate personality with sexuality and gender so hard!!!! We try to inject hypermasculinity into queer spaces SO HARD. At some point, your desire to be ‘subversive’ just turns into toxic heteronormativity. When you make Remus hypermasculine and Sirius hyperfeminine because it “just feels right” - consider WHY this feels right to you when there really is not a lot in canon that points to these things. Why does it feel right to you that one person should “be a top” and one should “be a bottom”? This is not to say this is ILLEGAL or you shouldn’t make Sirius feminine—it’s just…think about the underlying message here when it’s in contrast to very very masculine Remus.

My point here is NOT “stop making characters gay/feminine!!!” My point is, hell yeah, the characters who are canonically straight could be gay, but also I really recommend avoiding basing this on stereotypes. “I can’t believe people think this overly dramatic/emotional/fashionable/soft man is straight!” Unpack that. Really think about it. What are you really saying? Just…be reflective, folks. You are not immune to the heteronormative agenda.

TL;DR // softness, aggressiveness, beauty, love, gentleness, competitiveness, etc. belong to everyone, every gender, every sexuality.

y'know the sad thing about writing for a small/niche fandom? the thing you wrote doesn't get much interaction and in this economy and societal norm that means I don't get a nice hit of the happy chemicals

it's been three days since I last checked my most recent fic and the hits has gone up by like...2

kudos hasn't changed for a week :(

this is the existence I lead and I've made peace with it

(it's because I didn't tag it as rimster, isn't it?)

#bet it is #bet the rimster fans are falling on any fics with that pairing like starving ravenous beasts #meanwhile my little friend fic is flailing in the pool like that one meme #big sadge #writer grumbles #wel rambles #ao3 #writeblr #writers on tumblr #ao3 fanfic #ao3 writer #red dwarf #arnold rimmer #arnold j rimmer #arnold judas rimmer #dave lister #lister #rimmer #not actually #rimster #but hey. could be read that way if you want #it was written PLATONICALLY OK #i don't ship them myself #but whatever floats people's boats. i'm not here to gatekeep your ships #(i feel like this reads as SO sarcastic and i promise you i'm not)

Give Tobirama a cat who will bully him into taking a break from work because it demands his attention, meow! Let's see how long he can keep up his workaholic identity then.

(brilliant idea, probably from Mr Hashirama "I'm afraid of cats, but not afraid to use them against others" Senju himself)

I have exactly one (1) problem with OPLA Buggy.

I don't think his hair forms the little blue hat-ponytails the way it's supposed to.

He took his hat off. His hair was blue, but short. No ponytail. We were robbed
