Because the “shrodinger’s queerbait” nonsense will never go away, indulge me an analogy (and a long post).

wlw ships are the “made from scratch” cake in a world where we only ever expect cake mix from the box.

Say you have a show where, in the first interaction between a male and female character, there is a red box. It could be a Betty Crocker box of cake mix. Because all it takes is just one smile — one wink — one raised eyebrow— and the fans don’t question it. We’re clearly making a cake here. The box is red.

Meanwhile, you have two female characters building their own relationship that have elements that could build to romance. There are eggs in the fridge. A few more episodes, there’s flour in the pantry. Sugar. Baking powder. Queer fans start whispering…we could be making a cake here. Other fans scoff “you will read into anything. They’re just eggs! Everyone has eggs in their fridge!” Maybe so, maybe not. They are written off as discrete ingredients, nothing to see here.

That red box is still sitting in the pantry. Obviously we’re going with that one, and it’s definitely cake mix. That guy and girl stood next to each other again.

The wlw relationship is now full-on batter. It was a cake recipe all along, but it’s not baked yet. The crowd that wrote off every ingredient is now saying the writers are just going to “squander” that box that could be ready-made cake mix or that they’re being “forced” to bake a cake with the very ingredients the writers deliberately bought and put in their pantry.

Now it’s in the oven, the cake is baking. That crowd will still insist it’s forced, or maybe its actually something else, or it’s rushed, or it’s pandering. Whether the writers painstakingly built a pantry to make the cake they truly wanted or they were cultivating good ingredients and realized they had the fixings for a more decadent cake and went there, it doesn’t matter. It’s still a recipe. One that fans who always have to piece together ingredients had hoped for or saw from the get-go, despite being scoffed at and disparaged. Just because that crowd didn’t see (or refused to see) those ingredients as part of a whole, doesn’t make it any less of a recipe.

And wlw fans shouldn’t have to keep writing essays to demonstrate that the wlw “cake” has all the ingredients every cake mix does, or keep pointing out that fans were ready to believe a cake was being baked when they saw a nondescript box, but that they’ll do anything to discredit or doubt the cake from scratch that’s now cooling off on the counter.

It is partly a function of heteronormativity from the audience in immediately seeing romance in any whisper of interaction between m/f characters and passing off all charged interactions between female characters are sisterly or platonic. And it also comes from writers, who are either being cautious so as not to spook corporate overlords or audiences, or who are preserving plausible deniability.

To take the analogy further, box cake mix is fine! It works! It is, practically speaking, what a lot of folks know by default. I thought I was a Duncan Hines girl once myself. Vanilla cake mix has the ingredients measured out, it’s a safe bet, it tastes like cake.

But it doesn’t mean every red box is cake mix. And it doesn’t make the cake that had to be pieced together from scratch due to censorship, caution, time, narrative build-up, what-have-you, any less of a cake.

#Also this is a pillsbury cake mix hate blog so it doesnt count. The good ones have red boxes. #are we discoursing on this fine evening? Why not. #This could be about literally any wlw ship #but as someone who binged 8 volumes of rwby before 9 and missed all the drama but sees the vestiges of it years later somehow #its wild to me. Because as someone who saw the narrative in one gulp #it is very obvious they have put a lot of love and attention into Bumbleby #anyway this applies to #Bumbleby #korrasami #clexa #bubbline #harlivy #i could keep going #Having to defend a wlw ship like it’s a dissertation EVERY TIME is exhausting #And the fact that wlw fans have been burned before shouldn’t be wielded as a sword and a shield every time a wlw ship is viable

I wish you could mark things on ao3 like ... anti-bookmark them. And then when you clicked on something you had read and hated it would have a little box at the top that said "fyi, you read this and hated it"

Please. My memory is so bad and I have read and hated so many fanfictions

I have a very silly crack au I've been calling 'Milf Sheila au' which is pretty much just. Tex brings all the ai to bloodgulch and Sheila adopts Theta. Eventually the other ai too. Sheila, Church, and North have to figure out a split custody agreement (North argues that since Church and Sheila live together with the rest of the blues there should be a 50/50 split on time. Sheila and Church think it should be 66/33 split so they each individually get the same amount of time with Theta). When Theta is with Sheila he goes in a little rc car. Sarge keeps offering to mod the rc car and add weapons to it.

#O'malley is the third of the ai to be adopted by Sheila after Theta and Church. noone knows how it happened. #Gamma is fourth. #I haven't drawn a tank since I was like 8 years old #rvb #red vs blue #rvb sheila #rvb ai #rvb theta #ai theta #mikeys rvb art #mikeys rvb rambles

Since I’m guessing Tim’s kids are young, (like 10 or younger?) I think they should find Jason to be their cool teenage uncle and look up to him and wanna be like him because Tim would HATE that.

Tims kids only meet Jason bc while Tim may not be allowed to have any visitation rights somehow Bruce is still a trusted babysitter for the two kids and they both just latch onto Jason like he's the coolest motherfucker either of them have ever seen

#ask #anon #tims kids btw are 8 and 4 respectively #which tim somehow having a 4 year old hate him #its impressive #but yeah i also think the 8 year old is at that stage where #theyd hear about someone like red hood #and think he sounds so fregging cool #tims just seething #also i need to come up with names for these kids #and ngl im currently tempted to call them either #bluey and bingo or peper and george

One Piece Hunger Games Au

Hunger Games Au! mihawk is a victor, and adopts perona and zoro while they are young, perona is about to age out of reaping and either they both are called naturally or perona is called and zoro volunteered for perona

also, it happens to be the Quarterquell.

The tributes from the 75th annual Hunger Games will feature three from each district, one boy, one girl and one of the district’s previous victors

mihawk is the only victor in their district

now there are multiple ways this could go

1) the great ending is where they do the thing, district 13 busts in and everyone goes to the rebellion

2) the good ending is where zoro and perona are picked up by 13 but mihawk isn’t

mihawk is taken and turned into a mutt, they decided to be clever and use his nickname ‘hawkeyes’ as inspiration and turned him into a harpy, now hes not entirely muttified he actually just looks it and retained all his mental capabilities but they didn’t want that so they use a serum that basically turns you feral the downside (for the capital) is that it can wear off so it has to be constantly injected, so they do that then make the seraphim but they are also little harpies cuz cute and gotta use the natural disinclination towards killing children against the districts, anyway they all imprint on mihawk who imprints on them cuz feral + stressed overprotective dad missing his kids = adoption. anyway either they set them loose or they break out and they are going to the wilderness to live out their days when perona / someone else in the gang stumble upon them, they dont react kindly to most everyone except when either zoro or perona (or shanks) is the one to do it mihawk cuz even feral he can recognize his kids and the seraphim cuz they smell like mihawk (zoro and perona have both taken to wearing one of their dads coats around cuz sad :( anyway they get help and the serum wears off eventually and now mihawk can fly and shanks is a form of furry so yeah! good ending :)

3) bad ending

Perona wakes to the sound of a cannon going off. ‘But i thought it was just me and-‘ Trumpets blared.

Perona didn’t hear.

“CONGRATULATIONS DRACULE PERONA, YOU HAVE WON THE 75TH ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES!” Tears gather in Perona's eyes, she looks over to the side to see a figure leaning against a tree, his throat still leaking blood. “-Dad?”

everything i know (about love) - honeymilkplanet - T, WIP - Hermione Granger knows everything. Except this: when she accepts a bet to seduce her onetime enemy Draco Malfoy, hoping to enliven an otherwise uneventful eighth year at Hogwarts, she will tangle the web of Fate more intricately than either of them could ever imagine. Draco Malfoy knows everything - about love. Born with the rare gift of seeing the red threads that bind soulmates to each other, he’s known, since the day he met Hermione Granger, that she is his soulmate. More than this: he knows who her soulmate is - and it's not him. But regrets are for other people. When Draco returns to Hogwarts for his eighth year, disgraced and friendless, but more determined than ever, he resolves to defy his Sight and his destiny - the universe too, if he must - and, for the first time in his life, take the threads of Fate into his own hands. [slow burn soulmates AU with a twist (and lots of scheming along the way). hogwarts eighth year, and beyond.]

everyone seems to be firmly on the dadrius train but imo I just don’t think Darius is exactly… qualified… to adopt. I mean, we didn’t all collectively forget that he spent Hunter’s Entire Life projecting on Hunter, right?

Darius seemed to resent Hunter for… not disobeying Belos? Presumably because he views it as an insult to his Mentor’s memory. That’s all in good fun, but Hunter is a child, and one who will face physical retribution for just saying the wrong thing in front of Belos. And I don’t know if Darius has even realized this at our current moment in canon.

It’s tragic, but the show (and Hunter’s audio recording from the stream) tells us that Hunter was, at best, ignored by Darius. At worst? publicly humiliated with his self-taught sewing insulted and his personal belongings stolen. Darius, like Lilith, projected onto Hunter. (And imo, Darius, like Lilith, should probably work that out in therapy.)

The only coven head that seemed to ever be nice to Hunter was Raine, and they had the shortest run as coven head before they were found out as a traitor. They had little time to form any kind of connection with Hunter, and it was enough that them ignoring him or acting coldly was considering ‘weird’ to him.

point being: yeah, Darius has gotten better and, more or less, started making up for things. but just about a week ago he was still projecting onto a child, so maybe don’t give him full custody just yet. he’d make a great replacement uncle, but I’m not sure he’s ready for parenthood— even if it was with a normal, not-super-traumatized child.

also: how confusing must it have been for Hunter when Darius did that 180 on him? First Darius steals his cloak and insults his sewing and saying he doesn’t deserve to wear the patch, then he’s giving him a scroll, saying he should have friends, keeping flapjack a secret and encouraging him to rebel? and fixing his sewing?? and saying his predecessors would be proud? because he rebelled?? that must’ve been the most confusing thing ever for him.

#toh #the owl house #I’m still rooting for hunter clawthorne #Eda has been a parent for 8 years and ever since luz showed up she became Parenting Supreme #even she wouldn’t know how to deal with Hunter’s trauma but she’d sure as heck try #and she’d be better at noticing it. #Darius has known hunter for how many years? And the ‘child soldier’ thing didn’t raise any red flags? #that should’ve make him angry at Belos. Not at hunter. #and Eda was so good after hollow mind?? #raine and eda would probably be a better fit in general
