aaah, and I thought the throbb/theon fandom couldn’t disappoint me more than it already had
and yet.
okay, so, whatever, I’ve been made aware of a situation on twitter and honestly I’m tired, so let’s just have it out.
apologies for the long-ass post but I honestly am tired of being the uber-correct person who addresses everyone directly and properly and so on and all I get is finding out people trash talk behind your back anyway and don’t engage with me if they have a problem.
so, yesterday I’m minding my damned business, I see that @fleurdulys​ is apparently in some discussions with anti sansan people calling her names, I send her a message like ‘oh god they found you I’m so sorry’ because I have seen anti sansan takes back in the day, two people including someone that had stalked her for months start tagging me too and accusing me of the usual condoning That Horrible Problematic Ship and of being a pedo apologist blah blah blah, I block both of them, the day after another two show up in my mentions uninvited, I block both of them.
then someone who was monitoring the situation warns me that some anon is trash talking me and fleur in the curiouscat asks of some other person that I had absolutely no knowledge of until then. I went to block them, found out I had blocked them already because they were anti thr/amsay and shipped a theon show only ship I really don’t like so I went and blocked them in JULY before they changed nickname because I’m an adult and I like to think I can cut out of my life people I don’t want to risk interacting with because I know I don’t have anything to say to them. said person accused me of ‘using as a tactic calling everything calvinist’ which... well, when the problem is that antis are basically being that it’s not a tactic but whatever, I addressed it on twitter and changed my screen name as a joke because y’know what let’s embrace it, I don’t like calvinists anyway.
I go and forget about it and then the same someone monitoring the situation informs me that these lovely people had this other exchange - I’m not mentioning who it is but they’ll know and at this point I’m honestly done:
Tumblr media
now.
sorry but what the hell.
first of all, going in order:
I blocked receiver of the CC ages ago because she ships a thing that for me is an absolute no and I have very good reasons to not like it, and I have zero interest in talking to people who ship that AND are th/ramsay antis, which is a thing that I have zero patience for whichever side of the fence you’re on - saying it as someone who doesn’t like th/ramsay but ffs I don’t agree with anti-ing stuff, if you hate it blacklist and move on with your life;
also, I wasn't lurking on her anons because I didn’t even know she was involved but someone else monitoring the situation told me I was the subject of one of them and I went and checked for myself, so like... sorry I’m not unblocking because I never searched for her, I never talked to her, I never wanted contact with her and she and the anon are there trash talking me and fleur for shipping a fictional ship so what are we even talking here;
and that’s the premise, but: I had gotten my 'bitch ass away from throbb' in 2011, the amount of fics that fandom has would Not Exist At All because *I* was the sole steady contributor (ie the only person who kept on posting it) 2011-18 (and fandom drove out the only other steady contributor in 2015-8 lmao), *I* was the one organizing most theon-based fandom events (which were opened to all ships, including the ones I hated, and if I could handle posting th/ramsay fanart/reading th/ramsay prompts/assigning them when the exchange was anonymous and I had to post all the contributions when looking at th/ramsay art made me sick back in the day I think OP can tolerate people existing and shipping stuff she don't like), *I* was the one periodically coming up with ways to make the tag less filled with hate, *I* called out every single anti shaming anyone for their ships - from thramsay to theonsa because there were theonsa antis back in S5 but she wouldn't know I suppose -, so like she can pay me the favor to not even going there because if it wasn't for me she wouldn't have throbb fic to read *period* (not to brag but check, before I started spamming the tag and helped bringing in people along with someone else who's not in fandom anymore there were literally six), so how about she check what are her contributions to the fandom (less than mine probably) other than creating drama? thanks.
also ‘theon and robb would beat pedos up’ please check your facts, theon/jeynep is going to most likely be canon and she’s like thirteen and he’s twenty-two, which is a nine year age gap, which is not even that far from sansan. also your favorite theon ship has an eight years age gap in the books too so just stop. you ain’t coherent. at least be coherent. but you can’t, because every single asoiaf ship is problematic for some reason. ;)
and that was it for OP.
now, for the anon, who honestly... the entitlement, I swear to god, but in order: if you’re that pressed because I haven’t written throbb in months also thanks to people like you you could have like, come and talked to me on tumblr because regardless from what you assume I don’t bite. also I see that you’re a throbb shipper and you’re calling me THROBB CONTENT GENERATOR?
CONTENT GENERATOR?
ARE YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF IT?
I’M A HUMAN BEING, I’M NOT YOUR DAMNED CONTENT GENERATOR.
I DON’T GENERATE CONTENT FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, I WRITE FIC FOR SHIPS I LIKE. throbb is my otp (still, even if y’all really are trying to drive me out lol) and I wrote novels of it for years for free because I love it, BUT NOT BECAUSE I’M YOUR DAMNED CONTENT GENERATOR. 
content generator.
I’m just. actually you know what, if I write throbb again after this, you can be 100% sure there’s gonna be full-on blown canon sansan in it for a very long time and I’m absolutely not going to make it avoidable if you don’t scroll half of the fic. also ‘I could ask her to write it but she’d put sansan in it so I won’t’ who the hell do you think you are?
who the hell do you think you are?
I take prompts when I can because I want to and because once in a while I enjoy the idea of writing stuff for people because other than being something I love, I like the idea that I can make someone’s day nicer by filling them a prompt if they like my writing, I don’t do that just because you ask.
what the hell? so you’d ask and me, a poor idiot, not knowing it was you, would put it on a to-write list of prompts that’s like ten pages of notebook long because that’s how long my goddamned list is, while you’re here laughing that someone whose writing you like but whose personality you obviously despise has written you your favorite ship for free not knowing that it’s for someone that doesn’t like her all that much?
jesus christ.
like, I thought this fandom couldn’t get lower than the let’s plagiarize fics deal last july, but this is honestly rich.
and then you wonder why whenever I think about finishing sfbd or writing a ship that used to make me happy to write now I go like ‘f* this noise why should I bother I’m writing any other damned pairing instead’.
and I have to read this shit from someone who, when I blocked them the moment I got the fandom twitter account, who I never searched for, who I never talked to and who is friends with people who happily accuse others of being pedo apologists because they ship sansan which is, oh, wait, an almost-canon ship with canon text supporting it and that grrm himself certainly doesn’t hate and has admitted to have been leading up to, and now wants me to unblock her to talk??? when their friends showed up in my mentions absolutely uninvited because I sent support to someone who was arguing with them because we both ship sansan and I’ve done it for longer so I know how’s the deal?
and from some kind of anon who sure as hell reads my fics enough that they know I’m still the most prolific throbb contributor to the tag even if I haven’t written throbb in a year and some who calls me content generator and not even contributor as if I was some kind of juke box machine where you put in prompts and get out 5k minimum fics for free? and who still would like to read them enough to throw that shade but has no issues trashing me because I’m pointing out that antis think exactly like 17th century calvinists, which is a thing that can 100% be proved the moment you look up how the aforementioned calvinists thought?
like, I’d like to kindly tell the both of them to find a hobby that’s not trying to fele better harassing people they don’t know for fictional ships and remind everyone on here (because I’m sure anon is on tumblr as it’s where I hang out most of the time anyway) including the few anons who have asked me if I’d consider writing throbb again in the last months and who asked me if I’d run theonexchange again at some point that fic writers are human beings, not jukeboxes, and that being assholes has, as a usual consequence, driving the content creators out. I’m not a content generator, I’m not here to get laughed at because I fill prompts and I generally like to put content in the tags and not drama and because I think that being a fandom contributor should mean spreading positivity instead of shaming people for what they ship.
anyway: as a conclusion to this rant, I’m definitely not writing throbb that doesn’t have sansan in it anytime soon and if I run theonexchange again at some point (which I would like to but with these premises you’ll see that finding the force of will when I have a life is kind of a problem) if I find out that OP or any of her friends want to participate they’re kindly welcomed not to because I’m banning them on sight.
wow, get my bitch ass away from a fandom I kind of helped make and contributed 10% of the ao3 content to.
congrats, you just made sure I really won’t when I was taking a break but I was planning to come back at some point even if right now it’s quite tempting.
thanks for reading this if you got to this point and sorry for the rant but I’m tired.
I’m really tired.
also I’ve always said I shipped sansan from the moment I was in this fandom, I tag it also for blacklisting purposes and I don’t even put it as a side in fics that much because it doesn’t come up, so if anyone is so disgusted by it they’re welcome to learn to coexist with people who ship stuff they don’t like.
again: I’m really tired.

Yugioh Ep 24 S3: Blimp’s Ultimate Form
So, I realized as I sat down to the blog today that I’ve been doing this for like...a year and half now? I think? So I figured...how many of these have I MADE? Cuz I thought...I MUST be getting close to the 100th recap pretty soon, and guys, the answer was shocking.
This is, in fact, the 121st recap (including Season 0). That is a LOT of content. I don’t think I have that many pages for my own webcomic (which basically only tells you how long and physically exhausting the drawing process is more than anything else). Along the way I realized I was a.) really bad at numbering episodes, and b.) reaaaaally bad at spelling Kaiba at the start of this series, really cringey how I used to spell everyone’s name, I can’t really look back there.
Anyway, in case you are curious, the 100th episode was the “Pharaoh turns Karibo into a rainbow for some reason” episode. So, unfortunately it wasn’t that extraordinary. I forgot to write down which episode was 69, which is a colossal failure on my part.
So that being said, this is the last episode of this arc! Honestly, this arc could’ve been a lot shorter because at this point the only resolution left is for Noah to be a decent person once in his life and for Kaiba Sr. to die (which he’s already done, so...mission already accomplished)
Noah recently came on the PA system to inform us that he accidentally decided to kill everyone (congrats, recently reformed Noah), and so he’s going to do the decent thing and let them know where the exit is without actually doing a damn thing to make a portal to get them to said exit.
Guess where the exit is?
Tumblr media
I don’t know why the hell this show keeps going back to the local Dave and Busters where Tea got attacked on a dance machine.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At this moment, Gozaburo decided to turn into some sort of giant red ghost devil.
Yes. Exactly what it sounds like.
Apparently this was a thing he could just do this entire arc.
(read more after the cut)
Tumblr media
The fact that Seto’s Dad can just morph into a giant red demon is like...not even a problem for anyone on this cast. He literally goes back to his side of the field and goes right back to playing cards. Cuz youknow. Cards.
It’s basically a "Anyone with a millennium item can shoot lasers but never actually does” but demon format. Gozaburo *could* turn into the hulk but like...why?
Meanwhile the rest of the cast are playing cards against the card monsters, that are really just 3D models that Gozaburo had on file. He could have used...literally anything to throw at these people and he went with cards. He could have just dropped a boat on them but...I dunno, maybe he didn’t know where the boat folder was.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yugi trying really hard to not acknowledge the annoying as hell Joey face and give it any more attention than it already has.
Tea and Serenity scramble to the exit largely unscathed, dragging Tristan with them because he is too small to hold a card hologram and is too monkey to be at all useful back on the front lines.
Tumblr media
And they just wake up. Just like that. Just like they woke up from a simple nap or something.
Tumblr media
And voila, Tristan is no longer a monkey, his brain is back to normal, the writers were like “we really have to focus on Noah right now, please forgive us if we just pretend line all that brain damage Tristan went through, his brain being 5 DIFFERENT PEOPLE at the same time, having his brainwaves turned into an actual monkey, and then back again within the space of a few hours- just pretend he’s fine now. 
It’s fine. Tristan’s fine.
Tristan wasn’t really...all that bright to begin with so...he’s fine.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And so, as our B team is getting back into the real world, Noah sees this little post-it note on the side of his computer that says “PS, Yugi is a main character and must be present for the finale although he will serve little purpose there” and so Noah pressed that intercom mic button to say:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And it’s at this point that Noah says “I’ll just make you a portal and warp you right there” and then I guess everyone standing around Noah kind of looked at eachother and was like “NOW you do that? NOW? AFTER the chase through the monster copy-paste factory?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The show is desperately trying to convince me that Noah is now fully a good brother but ehhhhh he’s not. Like, I’ll be honest, they give him the best send off they could have possibly given to such an irredeemably evil character. Like, Seto himself is such a bag of pistachios that you really have to stretch Noah pretty far into evil territory to make Seto look like the good guy in comparison, and it sort of made me not really buy this whole Noah redemption arc.
It’s more like a prequel to a redemption arc that apparently won’t even happen in this series of Yugioh. He comes back at some point, and I only know that because I had to do a google image search of this kid for some reason and it was like ah, yeah, this is definitely a screen cap of a later, glossier looking Yugioh. But, for now, I’d say that Noah’s arc isn’t so much about him coming closer to his family or turning towards the ‘light’, as Pharaoh put it last episode. It’s more about Noah finally letting go of his Father, which should have been the arc of Seto Kaiba.
Instead, Seto did absolutely nothing to let go of his Dad, to the point that Seto is now fighting a computer that just kind of looks like his Dad during a missile strike aimed at Seto’s own face, and Seto did not stop till he won, because of his own damn pride.
Tumblr media
Like I think I mentioned this in the last recap, but if they wanted to have Seto show any changes in this arc (which he hasn’t done) then he should have walked away. Instead, he’s very clearly still using his past trauma to fuel the obsessive reasons why he’s playing cards in the present.
Tumblr media
Oh, and PS, Yugi’s here, I don’t know why he is, but it does make for some good scenery shots for the commercials so you know, why not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gozaburo decides it’s about time to turn into a 50 ft rage monster, and he pushes them to a ledge. Ah, dangerous ledge trope, it’s been a while.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, finally, as was hinted basically since S1, Yugi gets Seto to jump directly off a ledge of a very tall structure. It finally happened.
Don’t think about it.
Tumblr media
And into a portal? That gets them to the exit? Like y’all...this is a kid’s show and all so I shouldn’t question any very convenient plot devices but like...what?
Anyways, they’re fine now, don’t worry about it.
Tumblr media
And so, now for a brother pow-wow between Mokuba, who is either still very, very much in Stockholm Syndrome Territory or maybe just doesn’t know that Noah dropped a rocket on his face while Moki was AFK.
Tumblr media
And so Noah walks off into the fog cloud because he is the only person on this entire show who would rather die than share a brain (and you know Moki would’ve been down. Moki/Noah as the next Yugi/Pharaoh could’ve been a great thing but youknow, also very much way too complicated for this already complicated show).
It was very melodramatic.
Tumblr media
And TBH, I will miss Noah a little bit, he had a fun, insane sort of snobby sass, but I can understand why they might not want to keep even more villains around on this show that is already like...dozens of villains, just so many villains.
Anyway, remember that they woke up in a lab and not in a blimp, so they still have to like...get off this damn boat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lol nearly forgot this was an anime. Glad Noah got a magic girl moment before he kicked it.
Also, I’m pretty sure it was shirtless Noah in this glowing yellow farmer’s tan that got this episode flagged for Adult Content when it was still in my drafts folder. Tumblr’s bot got super excited to shut this one way down lol.
Tumblr media
And then what follows is like one of the best animated loops in Yugioh. One so good that you bet your ass I clipped it to view for my own leisure.
Mokuba, sensing he’s slowing down for no reason makes the mistake of telling his brother “I’m not going to make it” and so, as an unsuspecting Duke Devlin reaches out and says “grab my hand,” Kaiba does...THIS
Tumblr media
when the entire time Kaiba was strong enough and had enough jumps to do THIS
Tumblr media
Like he could have easily picked up Mokuba but youknow, any chance to throw a kid at Duke Devlin’s face shoe-first, I guess.
Maybe this is why Moki wears a puffy vest?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And so it was here, as the flames encroach on my wonderful blimp baby that I was getting ready to say goodbye, but guess what, she ain’t dead because...of a completely insane reason we’ll get to in a bit.
Tumblr media
Oh, and PS Kaiba’s Dad is a flame monster now. Because of...technology?
Tumblr media
It’s probably supposed to be metaphorical flames but youknow, apparently Kaiba had the foresight that someone at some point would become a flame demon and try to devour his entire blimp, and so he made a feature you can add onto what ever blimp you decide to buy from him just so you can outrun fire people attacks.
Tumblr media
And it turns out Blimp was the real Magical Girl all along.
Tumblr media
Blimp lore is getting pretty wild y’all.
Imagine playing cards on it now...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then everyone collectively decided that Noah WASN’T DEAD. It was very unhealthy! Thanks 4Kids!
Tumblr media
The irony about this exchange is that it is Bakura who is the one who’s uploaded to a flash drive, not Noah--Bakura is on a flash drive around Yugi’s neck but they have never discussed this. Like I’m pretty sure no one even has still picked up that Bakura died and that’s going to be the thing I look forward to the most next episode. If they even address it. Which they might not.
And so, Kaiba looks at the wreckage and the rocket parts that he now has to explain to the UN (and probably not for the first time) and he says:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And thus ends the Kaiba’s Kojima-esque War Crimes arc.
Oh man, next time we get to go back to Marik.
Man oh man.
I don’t even REMEMBER what was going on in that arc guys. It’s been like...man.
I might have to read my own blog to refresh myself haha, I honestly have forgotten a lot of details.
Anyway, in memory of when the blimp still looked like a blimp, I guess this is the last time I can ever post this song:
youtube
And here’s a link to read these recaps from the beginning in chrono-order

tagged by @troybarnesbucky, thanks! :D
Why did you choose your url?
‘smores’ is a nickname i was given maaaaaany years ago when i was just starting to get into the online world (rip imdb msg boards). my username was mors or something like that, based on my real name, and the people i became friends with started calling me ‘smores’ instead, i really liked it, and it’s just stuck ever since. the ‘100′ is just a random number bc smores was most likely already taken when i made this blog
Any side-blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them
nope! either you love me with all my hyperfixations or you don’t love me at all, i’m much too lazy for side blogs
How long have you been on tumblr?
next month it’ll be 11 years, been here since 2010 jfc
Do you have a queue tag?
nah, i usually stick everything in the queue anyway so i don’t have to reblog everything myself so there’s no point for a specific queue tag
Why did you start your blog in the first place?
hmm, i don’t really remember, but tumblr was probably this Brand New Thing back then everyone was talking about so i probably figured i might as well get one too bc why not. over a decade later i’m still here for the pretty gifs 😌
Why did you choose your icon?
bc mickey milkovich is one of the greatest characters of all time and i love him with all my heart. and look how crazily cute he looks with his gun 🥰
Why did you choose your header?
bc ian and mickey are one of my most favorite otps and their wedding is a cause for celebration ❤
What’s your post with the most notes?
i rarely make my own posts, but this one crying over ian and mickey dancing to those specific lyrics of ‘perfect’ at their wedding and how poetic cinema it was became so much more popular than i ever expected akjdkajd the gallavich fandom was really going through it that day :’)
How many people do you follow?
i follow 255 blogs but like 90% of them are inactive anyway, i just don’t feel like going through them and unfollowing. i can’t follow too many (active) blogs bc it overwhelms me and gives me anxiety
Have you ever made a shitpost?
like i said i rarely make my own posts, but i’ve made a couple of shitposts here and there back in the day
How often do you use tumblr?
every day, even if it’s just to stop by for half an hour and put some posts in my queue. if i’m away for more than a couple of days, then something’s probably not quite right
Did you have a fight/argument with a blog once? Who won?
kinda? i found out someone blocked me and didn’t understand why, so i reached out and asked, and then apologized and promised to never do it again, but they were a b**** to me in return and made me feel like shit. so not exactly a fight, more like a confrontation where i was trying to be nice and the other side was just mean. i’m still blocked so i guess they won, lol. don’t mess with noorhelm stans y’all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but that’s about it i think, i tend to keep to myself bc i really reeeeeally hate confrontations
How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this post’?
i hate them. don’t tell me what i need to reblog, i can decide for myself, thanks. also stealing @troybarnesbucky answer bc so true --> “fucking annoying, a symptom of this performative activist mentality that has been so pervasive online in the last few years and I hate it. “
Do you like tag games?
yeah, tho sometimes it depends on my mood or how much free time i have or on what those tag games are, like for example there’s a lot of music ones and i don’t have itunes or spotify or any sort of music library really so those are usually less relevant to me 🤷‍♀️
Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
idk??? i’m not sure i have any, it’s not something that matters to me anyway
Do you have a crush on a mutual?
I love all my mutuals and followers 😊
Last song you listened to?
'saved my life’ by sia (it makes me think of cg ian and mickey and then i cry....ain’t fanfiction the best???)
What’s your phone background/lockscreen?
this lovely darren criss pic. it’s soooo pretty and i love it but i’ve been wanting to change it for years now bc it’s been my lockscreen since i got this phone, but idr how to do it and i’m too lazy to look it up and try to figure it out so 🙄 (but hey at least i managed to finally change my ringtone! baby steps)
tagging anyone who follows me and wants to do this! :)

I hate how with the new chapters people are hoping Levi and Hanji didn't become a couple or something. They don't want them to be too close because that would invalidate their ship (ErwinxLevi). They'd rather see Levi be lonely than to see him find comfort in and be close to Hanji because of their own shipping bias. They don't want Levi to be close to anyone but Erwin and don't see how that makes them biased (because eruri is "canon"). Ship and let ship. Sorry I had to let it out to someone...
warning: this isn’t very nice to eruris or levihans so just… read at your own risk.
i could probably rant for like 34 years about how fandom treats romance as this large sweeping once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, like people don’t fall in and out of love on a regular basis, like marriages don’t end for reasons that aren’t “person a is an asshole.”
really, the idea is more than a little damaging in the way it encourages people to hold onto things even when they’re over. (lmao don’t tell me fandom doesn’t influence real life? don’t tell me that people don’t pull from fiction and expect that/get disappointed over it not being like that in real life. the things young people have said to me/asked me… astounding, tbh.)
anyway, lots of people remarry. lots of people don’t cling to one relationship forever. few people take the opposite route and shut themselves off forever.
but the biggest problem is that romantic fiction paints previous romantic experiences as irrelevant and unimportant and “less than” whatever is current. that honestly makes me angry. even if a relationship ended in angry divorce, can writers stop pretending that there were never feelings there? can they stop with the bullshit like ~oh, he’d never felt a love like this~ when there was literally nothing wrong with his previous relationship? it just didn’t work out oor his partner died? people just like to fucking feel good about themselves, like to imagine that a person who used to be in love w/ someone else will like them more than their previous partner. fuck off–love doesn’t work like that for most people.
why this entire thing is relevant is because there’s no doubt in my mind the eruris don’t want erwin’s relationship to levi diminished in the name of this new and current possibility, and…god??? i can’t blame ‘em??
like look, the eruri fans’ behavior recently hasn’t been altogether stellar (and of course i’m making a sweeping generalization, here; not all fans, etc etc), but levihan fans have been almost as fucking self-important and smug in the past and i wish y’all’d stop pretending that you weren’t. i distinctly remember 30230 posts about how they LOOKED at each other #canon, or how worried he looked in one panel when she was hurt. let’s not forget all the squealing over him bathing her and…other weird fucking things that got the levihan fandom subset into a goddamn tizzy and in ways that truthfully creeped me the FUCK out and made me embarrassed to even ship the same thing. i’d personally keep that embarrassing shit to myself but fandom generally does whatever it wants, so there’s no stopping it. just do whatever you want; everyone else does.
my stance on this is: the eruris are probably bracing themselves for the onslaught of levihan (not to mention er////e///ri, kill me now) fans squealing about how their ship has a higher chance to be #canon, and how they’re glad erwin is dead because it made their ship more likely to be #canon – like damn, okay. that’s pretty heartless but a’ight. not to mention all the fans who will write drivel like what i mentioned above: stories and meta that will narratively pretend that erwin meant little to levi in comparison to hange. (i mean obviously no two relationships are the same but narratively speaking it’d be cool if people stopped making the current one out to be ~better~ like it’s a ~deeper love or whatever stupid shit inexperienced buffoons think sounds realistic.)
sidenote: yall always going on about how poly ships are the best shit ever and i still ain’t seen one post talking about levi and hange working through the aftermath of losing erwin together. lmao??? why? cause the love is gone since it’s down to two? whatever.
in the end: shipping in fandom is always gross. there are always tons of really diehard fans for every ship that want that ~deeply tragic and romantic idea of one partner forever bc their love is just so strong~~~!! they’d rather their characters brood and be Sad™ for the rest of their mopey existence than find even a friendship comfort in another person (but ofc if they do find a friendship sort of comfort lmao they have to make sure they put the word in there 3012 times to define it precisely so that nobody is “confused”!!!!!!!!). i don’t know why anyone thinks this is fucking romantic & i don’t know why anyone even believes levi would be unspeakably lonely without erwin. like obviously he is going to be sad and miss him (even if you don’t ship it can you guy stop pretending erwin means nothing to him at all?) but jesus christ learn how to fucking write actual human beings–you know, people who aren’t defined by their romantic attachment???
the levihans just want to take the moral high ground here and it pisses me off nearly as much as the eruris clinging desperately to this tragic love bullshit. like don’t pretend that this whole guilt-tripping “let levi be happy” chant doesn’t have about 34 ulterior motives. please. if levihan had seemed a solid canonical possibility in recent chapters, and hange had died, y’all’d be bitter when the eruris stepped up and used that same logic against you. y’all just as bad and some of you are reminding me a little of vultures perched nearby, eyes on the prize. like geez, calm down? let stuff happen? this ship war bullshit over fictional characters is ridiculous. there are unfollow buttons on this site for a reason. there are block buttons for a reason. there is xkit and tumblr saviour and blacklist. if seeing the eruris say this stuff bothers you, then start unfollowing, blocking, blacklisting.
cause like…if you REALLY mean “ship and let ship” then…why are you even reading this stuff? what the eruris are doing doesn’t affect you. they’re not going to ship what you like just because half their ship is dead. they’re not going to stop liking their ship because erwin is dead.
like if you want some sympathy regarding how they don’t want levi to get close to hange because they want levi sad forever, okay: you’ve got it. but if this is ‘look at how dumb the eruris are lol’ then you don’t have my sympathy at all. yeah, they dumb af. so are the levihans though.
