#but they are far from the only ships

[thats-ill-eagle]

(Also applies to both yuri and hetero ships.)

It's all about the balance. Even if the abused partner is also an asshole, if they are mistreated by their partner without returning 'the favor' to them, that's not 'toxic relationship that is such a shitshow on both sides, that it's entertaining to watch'. It's just abuse that should not under any circumstances be romanticized or downplayed by the show/movie or its fandom, even if it's fictional.

If you're interested, here's a prompt from the ones who just shared:

"Then why did you do it?" "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"

No rush hehe I hope you get rest and have fun writing this!

Now, see, I could have taken this as an open prompt and went with something else, but I know you like dreamling and so I was good.

Thanks for the prompt dear! 💖 Also special thanks goes to @cuubism for actually going through it 🌻🌻🌻 any mistakes are me ignoring her wisdom or straight up forgetting to edit it. one of the two.

Dreamling - some flavor of hurt/comfort(?) 'you dare?' kind of situation going on there, 1,394w

▾▾▾

“I cannot fathom why—” 

Dream halts mid-sentence, his outrage rendering him speechless for a precious moment in which Hob tries, fruitlessly, to come up with a way to placate him, to explain in a way that will somehow pass as acceptable to Dream. The betrayal is tangible in the air, so charged that Hob’s hair actually stands on end as if from static. It feels like standing at your front door, still safe but seeing the hurricane on the horizon, knowing that this false safety can and will change in moments. Hob cannot think of a single thing. 

“You.” Dream grits his teeth so tightly that they scrape loudly, the sound of it making Hob’s own teeth ache uncomfortably. “Know.” Dream says each word as if it takes a great burden to even use human speech and not simply burn a hole in Hob’s mind. Given Dream’s past record, which Hob had recently learnt of, perhaps it does. “You know I do not ask.”

“I know.” Hob winces.

There’s no denying that he knew. Knew full well that asking Dream’s sibling for help was a guaranteed way to not only outrage him, but also land Hob a very creative punishment and the end of their long friendship.

He knew that, and did it anyway. 

Would again, if he had to.

He will not apologize for that.

Dream seems to come to the same conclusion, cheeks reddening in a surprising display of humanity, of lack of control over his appearance. The darkness that creeps into his eyes is distinctly not human. Hob shudders but fixes his eyes on Dream’s, refusing to avert his eyes like a reprimanded youth. He did what he did, and he’s not sorry.

''Then.” To Hob’s surprise, Dream seems to level himself, to school the darkness out of his eyes and ask with a calm that is somehow more unnerving than his rage. “Why did you do it?" There is a finality to this question, like a judge asking for one last confession to tip the scale one way or another. There will be judgment at the end of it, Hob knows. 

“Because…” he sucks in a breath, there’s a ball of nerves in his stomach and frustration, surprising him with its intensity, it feels almost like anger.

Why is he here, searching for excuses for something he believes in wholeheartedly? He doesn’t want to learn firsthand of Dream’s notorious pettiness but he’s not here to play these sort of games. 

The outraged huff is stuck in his throat— he didn’t even realize he had raised his voice this much, not until the ring of it strains his ears. He is practically shouting. And he doesn’t care. 

 ''BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.''

There’s anger in it, frustration, a measure of desperation.

“I bloody love you more than I fear you, that’s why.” His own cheeks burn, itch, tingle with the indignation of it all. “Because I’m a besotted fool who would make a pact with the devil if I had to, if it meant helping you.” He gestures curtly at Dream, then spreads his arm in an exaggerated motion of question. “Why else? Seriously, why else?!” He stops at that, breathing harshly. This is not how he had imagined, not even close. Fuck it. And fuck Lucifer, too. And Dream’s all too pleased sibling, on top.

Through his outburst Hob had stopped paying attention to Dream’s face, only his eyes, latching onto them as if they were his anchor in this universe, the only constant thing, in life, in this.

When he finally looks, really looks, he realizes with a start that Dream’s cheeks are no longer red with anger, that his eyebrows are not as tightly knitted, that his pale lips form a small and lax ‘o’. 

His friend looks taken aback, pacified and…surprised.

Like he couldn’t fathom this being the reason for Hob’s supposed betrayal of trust. Like this was the last rationale he had expected to hear, like he, an Endless being of incomprehensible wisdom, is unable to conceive this simple truth. Like he’s at a loss now.

Like he’s a bloody idiot. Hob shakes his head in amazement, his own anger evaporating as quickly as it came. Yet again he wonders how it is possible to be all knowing and yet so blind, so oblivious to such a simple truth, one Hob didn’t even try too hard to hide, really.

“I know you didn’t want me to,” he softens his voice, speaking more quietly “but I really didn’t have a choice. If I could do this on my own, you know I would have, I’d do worse for you.” He smiles at Dream, he doesn’t even try to sound self-deprecating, it’s the honest truth. He would.

His hand drops by his side and he awaits then, for his judgment.

“You love, me?”

Hob doesn't know how to respond to such a simple question other than–

“I do.”

There’s nothing else to add to that, he said it all, he did it all, even Dream must understand this is no passing fancy. One does not risk their immortal soul for something insignificant. Especially not Hob. One does it when it means everything. And in this case, it did. Dream did. 

Dream seems to again, come to the same conclusion. 

He wilts, shoulders sagging. He looks both much older and much younger at the same time, like this knowledge has stricken him, hurt him.

“You shouldn’t” is all he says. 

“But I do.” Hob answers in return. 

“I see that.” Dream’s voice is a whisper carried by the breeze, gentle, endless, aching. He looks torn in that moment, the judge whose scales no longer measure in any understandable manner. He casts his gaze down. 

“Just let me,” Hob says. He did not come here demanding boons, nor love, only to help Dream. “Forgive my impudent human inclinations to save what I love, and let us continue as we were. Friends. “

“Friends…” Dream repeats after him, as if in disbelief.

Dream opens his mouth to say more—to accept or refuse, Hob doesn’t know—but in that exact moment Matthew half-crashes, half-lands on Dream’s shoulder, a flutter of black feathers and barely muffled curses.

“Boss! Oh for fuck’s sake— I mean cracker’s sake— I mean what the hell— I mean you’re fine—you’re actually okay, I was sure that this time you’re like legit—” he notices Hob then, and cawing loudly he curses again “You actually did it you son of a bitch— you really did!” His wings open excitedly, brushing against Dream’s face, covering it up.

“Matthew.” 

“Uh-” Matthew folds his wings immediately. 

Hob looks at Dream then, the moment is decidedly broken but he has to know if he’d see him again, he can’t just go on not knowing, it’ll drive him insane. “Dream—” he starts, but Dream speaks over him.

“We will discuss this—” Dream’s lips tighten, eyes flicking to Matthew and then back at Hob. “At a later time.” He concludes rather curtly, seemingly deciding that addressing exactly what they will be discussing is not something he wants his Raven to be privy to.

“Right…” Hob murmurs, not speaking further of the topic either. It’s one thing to break Dream’s boundaries over life and death, another entirely over his own impatience and need to know. Dream wanting to see him again at all is already a damn good sign, and Hob will take it, gladly.

“I’ll see you later then, Dream” He uses the name even while not being sure he is still permitted to, that he did not lose the privilege. Dream tilts his head but doesn’t object, instead he nods once and disappears in a swirl of golden sand.

“Show off…” Hob murmurs into the empty air, shaking his head in disbelief. There’s a good feeling in his gut, he should probably be worried but he has a feeling that things will work out, that it all will be just fine. He can’t explain it, but he has learnt to trust his gut over the years. After all, it once led him to believe that he would never die.

It was right then, and it’ll be right now too. He and Dream will figure it out and will be better for it. Just like the other time, just like always.

I don’t understand why Kishimoto never added Kakashi having thoughts about Gai when he died in the pain assault. It’s like he doesn’t want his relationship with Gai to have depth but then adds all these interactions and feelings that show how much he means to Kakashi.

He thinks of his dead friends and family, he thinks of Konoha 11, but he doesn’t think about his longest and biggest support? Not even a passing thought?

Might Gai is Kakashi’s best friend and rival, he isn’t a nuisance to him and he doesn’t think he’s less than him. Their relationship has substance and evidence to show how much they care about one another, im sick of Kishimoto and his constant need to diminish it then prop it up and then diminish it again. How can he be so inconsistent with relationships and character writing??

#kakashi hatake #might guy #maito gai #pain arc #kakagai #not even shipping in this instance just their canon relationship atp #I get Kishimoto probably didn’t think that far ahead in the series because so much of their dynamic is explained later #it aggravates me that Gai’s support is constantly made minuscule in reference to others #Gai - the one who was their since he was 5 years old and immediately supported and cared for Kakashi #Gai - the one who Kakashi has leaned on so frequently that he’ll pass out after Gai arrives because he knows he’ll handle it #yeah I’m glad he showed appreciation for his support after the pain assault #but it still irks me real bad that his relationship w Gai is diminished #ESPECIALLY in favor to Obito who he wasn’t even truly best friends with and only carried his legacy out of guilt #Gai IS Kakashi’s true best friend and rival and I’m very happy it’s expanded on later #but it doesn’t take away how Kishimoto centers Obito as his best friend and biggest influence #I’m not taking away from his influence at all but I’m angry that everyone thinks Kakashi’s relationship w him is so deep #compared to Gai #I feel it always comes back to the fact that everyone thinks Gai is ugly and a joke #anti kishimoto

I hate ship wars so much because, not only are they a ludicrous reason to abuse each other over in online spaces, the arguments only ever seem to tear down queer readings of a text for the sake of personal interpretations of a relationship (even if that relationship is also queer).

So you just have people arguing back and forth with each other over why their particular queer reading is the one true legitimate or canon or 'healthy' (please save me from that word, I want to pluck it from the world and tear it to shreds) queer reading and all others are wrong, dirty, sinful, a fetish... (you see what I'm doing here right?).

I hate ship wars. I hate how puritanical, antiqueer, and misogynistic they always somehow manage to become in the name of championing a queer relationship.

#this coming to you from going into both the #bg3 #tag and #one piece #tag and only seeing ship wars when all i wanted was cute relationship art #baldur's gate 3 #one piece live action #op #opla #the trials of existing in fandom i guess #anyway it doesn't matter if something is fanservice or queer baiting #if gender and sexuality is played with by the text then it's canon #that almost kiss the writers have no intention of following through on happened #that crush that's intentionally left ambiguous happened #it's in the text and therefore lends itself to a queer reading of the text #as far as one piece is concerned #zosan #vs. #zolu #is dumb when both a great and all three of them being together in a tangled mess is greater #(though i don't know what to tag that as)

Your posts are some of the highlights of my tumblr experience – I've always been focused on Luffy/Zoro but before OP:LA released it seemed kinda? Rare, almost? At least in comparison to other things. But now so many people like it too! And are writing wonderful little essays like yours! I feel understood. Personally they've always been a qpr to me (I hold Luffy's basically-canon aroace status VERY close to my heart) in the most soulmate, ride or die, married without even kissing once, forever and always with their own special kind of love no matter what anybody else thinks, kind of way. I love reading your thoughts because even if may not be in the exact same flavour as me (which I respect) I feel like you get them already. Keep having fun! The world of OP has so much in store for you!

don't say such nice things to me i'll cry :(

#asks #zolu #obvi I wasn't in the fandom before opla so I didn't experience what it was like as a zolu shipper but I had noticed a lot of older posts #wishing there was more content / definitely being a smaller ship compared to some of the bigger ones #BUT !!!! opla definitely had some massive zolu moments that I think resonated with people and I definitely saw a spark between them #but the manga and the anime has only solidified that and made me see The Vision (soulmatism) even more #and i'm so glad for you that there's more content now!!! and glad for me!!!!!! #I def see where ur coming from w ace luffy which is 1 of the reasons I made a post a while back about about asexuality & shipping culture #I think their relationship is so transcendent of physicality (not to say its wrong to see them as intimate in that way) but its so based on #their love and respect and utter devotion to each other. to wanting to spend their entire lives together. to sharing their lives 4ever!!!!! #zoro and luffy make me so ill in a way a pairing hasn't in years so i'm so glad to be able to share w u and other zolu stans #its been so fun so far ty sm (seriously) for the encouragement n kind words

Lucemond shippers should have their brains studied fr bc everytime I accidentally catch a glimpse of whatever they’re doing they’ve descended deeper into insanity in a way that I didn’t even think possible

#.txt #they keep saying shit like it doesn’t matter the actors have like a 10 year age gap the characters only have 2 years between them #but they always draw the actors faces so. #anyway newest development is apparently they’re now shipping luke with other characters aemond’s actor played which. #yea sure man you’re not shipping the actors I really believe you now lol #they’re getting bored of their own ship but don’t want to admit it it’s actually kind of hilarious #atp it’s so far removed from the source material what’s even the point #im not surprised that these people exist but the fact that it’s so popular???? how??? #we need to conduct studies on this shit fr

What about Coppernob ships? (Unless it's a spoiler)

There’s nothing to spoil. So far I have no plans to ever ship Coppernob with anyone. 

And engine relationships do exist in the Bird universe – which is not a given in my fics, lol. But Nobby will never ‘get’ this sort of thing. It’s a character arc for him that he becomes less condemnatory and more understanding about others ‘aping human affections’ (this is similar to all his internalized good-engines-don’t bullshit about naming yourself, too). Some of his attitude is because that’s what he was taught, but I also think he’s slow to move beyond it because he’s naturally the vehicular equivalent of acearo. He loves others deeply; that’s the whole series! Just… not in these kind of ways. 

If this does ever change, it will probably be because when I get around to writing his fiercely explosive relationship with Mars – F.R. 44, ex-W.&.F.J.R. 3 (this was back in the 1860s-1880s) – I find that it just runs away with me and turns into “what’s gayer, being gay or whatever these two have going on.” 

#nobby and mars were SO aggressive #cornwall is just nobby's most famous rival lol... he was far from the only and he is NOTHING compared to mars #but also. like. #they were soul-twins #mars GAVE nobby his nickname????? #like nobby was so emotionally stunted in this era #and mars wasn't doin' too much better #(the 1860s traumatized the hell out of them both) #anger was the only way either of them knew how to be honest #and the fact that they were constantly 'no holds barred' did in fact make them intimate friends #... which. again. i'm not saying this is a ‘canon’ ship. #but i'm not sure how i'm gonna write this and have it *not* read as at least a little gay y'know? #especially with their brothers 4 and sirius looking on at this being like '...' #like *they* were once rivals too but they've patched things up solely so they could work together to keep their twins from killing each oth #(or kill them themselves and have done with it lol) #'guys. pull yourselves together. having train sex in broad daylight in the middle of ramsden docks would be LESS inappropriate than this.' #coppernob things #various furness ocs #chatter #ttte shipping #okay thank you for the steady stream of shipping asks this is the *best* valentine's day

[onepiece-polls]

I love your polls and it’s great you try to be on both sides to give fair chance to everyone, but the way you talked about shanks/buggy is crazy They’re fine together but in canon they’re brothers and your shipping googles got so tight you actually sounded like you could believe they’re anywhere close to canon which is u know stupid af

lmao, okay, this came out of nowhere 😂 Like... I talked about that months ago. But okay.

Anyway, Shuggy is canon. They're making out behind you right now.

#Anon please 😂 #Calling me stupid because you think I think shuggy is canon #but all the while claiming that the fact that they are brothers IS canon #My dear... neither are canon. It's all in our heads. #as far as I know only the marines said Shanks used to see Buggy as a brother #and what the hell do they know about the relationship between two pirates? #sounds like historians talking about queer relationships by saying 'they were REALLY good friends' #And... I don't usually talk about my ships on this blog but that was for the shipping war #shipping goggles was what the tournament was ABOUT... #But come closer... come look at my main blog... #I assure you you can only enter that blog with shipping goggles on 😂 #This is all meant jokingly from my side of course #I don't see any ship but the confirmed ones as canon #even though some might be canon TO ME but that's something else entirely #Why not... you know... let people ship what they want to ship however much they want to ship it? #Do you see me taking offense to people who don't want to ship something? #No everyone is free to see relationships as platonically - even if they're canon confirmed to be married #I just take offense to people calling other people stupid because they don't agree with them on fandom things #Especially when they're claiming THEIR headcanons are actually canon #Honestly imo anyone talking about 'shipping goggles' is just trying to make people who enjoy shipping feel inferior #I'm sorry you can't believe we're all equals no matter what we ship or don't ship #anon #ask #not a poll #I hope you all get that this is not an invitation for you all to send me more messages about this #I don't want to start a discussion #I just want you all to respect each other

Sometimes I forget how much shit McCoy canonically knows, at least to a degree of competence. Like ok sure he's not an Engineer or a bricklayer but he's damn well more than "a simple, country doctor"; he's got the sciences badge instead of the medical one for a reason

#like 23rd century be damned #mccoy wears so many medical hats #as well as a decent amount of understanding of biology/microbiology #and i mean. the guy whipped up a whoke cure in Miri with a team of 3 agitated ppl #himself #an old microscope #only spock to immediately bounce ideas off of #and very limited access to ship computers #he formulated a non-lethal fainting formula from ancient materials by hand #so thats chemistry #and back to the (micro)biology—he *was* a genuine option to end out in the immunity syndrome #and swinging back to miri—both pharmacology and virology with a hint of epidemiology #Oh! and he's delivered babies on multiple occasions. no word on if he's particularly trained in gynecology or obstetrics but. #frankly i wouldnt put it past him to be trained in obstetrics and midwifery #like yes a lot of his fields of knowledge are medical #but even in a far future it seems p wild that hes *this* widely competent aross fields like. #physicians are who ppl think of when they hear 'doctor' #and he is a physician #he's just. also. a surgeon. allegedly he is a space psychologist as well #and then see above for grounds to argue he knows pharmacology virology epidemiology and obstetrics/midwifery too #and knows biology and chemistry #no wonder he wanta tk study everything

[sonknuxadow]

it's so wild to me that people talk like sonic and knuckles just now started acting gay in frontiers or that the sonknux ship only exists because of frontiers theyve been gay this whole TIME you just refused to admit it until now

#where were you when knuckles was caught staring at the moon thinking about sonic HMMMMM #ok actually. and id like to preface what im about to say with the fact that #while my feelings on it and the way the fandom acts about it are complicated i DO like sonadow #and im not trying to argue over which ship is better here thats not the point im trying to make #but anyways now that im thinking about it i think people only acknowledging how gay sonic and knuckles are in 2022 #has something to do with shadow not being in frontiers #because. its a fact that sonic and shadow are like the default gay pairing for sonic and they tend to overshadow sonic and knuckles #moments between sonic and shadow always get a much bigger reaction than ones between sonic and knuckles #and a lot of the other media with sonknux moments also had shadow in them #so no matter how gay sonic and knuckles are people Always choose to focus on sonic and shadow instead #sonic could do the exact same things with both of them and people would only care when its shadow #i know because its happened before #people also tend to take certain themes and dynamics from sonic and knuckles relationship and apply them to sonic and shadow instead #even if it doesnt make sense and theyre just making stuff up #or they make shadow act like knuckles to make the dynamic appeal to them more instead of just. liking sonknux instead #sometimes people even go as far as taking onscreen moments that are obviously about sonic and knuckles #and try to make them about sonic and shadow instead (example: the i love captains scene in sonic prime) #sonic and knuckles still go ignored even if whatever media that's being talked about has sonic interact with knuckles MORE than shadow #and none of sonics interactions with shadow could reasonably be interpreted in a romantic way #(again like season 1 of sonic prime . there were like 500 sonadow posts when they barely even interacted) #basically where im going with this is that shadow not being in frontiers #possibly forced people to actually think about sonic and knuckles because shadow wasnt there to distract them #AGAIN not trying to argue about which pairing is better this is just a pattern of behavior i have noticed

thinking about a darker timeline au where somewhere along the line blake and yang have a rough breakup and team rwby kinda falls apart and they have to reconvene down the line when salem becomes a prominent threat again so we have bumbleby as middle-aged bitter exes who still very much love each other

#did this idea come to me while watching a raeda edit?? maybe #raeda was my first and only exes to lovers ship and tbh i kinda love the concept #obviously this au is VERY far from being canon in any way but idk maybe it’s something #rwby #bumbleby #emma.txt
