#i endorse this relationship

[ze-pie]

Ok like. I know pearlina is more or less canon (at least one-sided marina according to that website) but even without unequivocal official confirmation its still so hilarious to me how EVERYONE is on the same page that theyre lesbians and married. Like, its just an assumption. No second guessing

I know not everyone ships, and theres been some drama in the past in certain circles on whether theyre just friends or closer, but MOST people can agree that the two of them are insanely close and love eachother very much. Seeing how when side order got announced IMMEDIATELY i see “oh thats pearl and marinas wedding, right” all over my timeline and across the entire off the hook fandom just speaks to the synergy of both this ship and the people that observe it, even passively.

What I’m saying is that Nintendo, its okay, just confirm Pearl and Marina’s romance, the closet is made of glass,,

#pearlina #zepie blabs #i like a lot of the other ships in the fandom but this one is probably the one that seems the most endorsed by the canon #maybe its ridiculous but i genuinely am expecting something substantial for pearl and marinas story in side order #i want lore and character development on their relationship and multiple signs of affection #i wonder if the team behind splatoon is actually 100% down with pearlina but they know that its pulling teeth getting nintendo to go #full green light so they do what they can #wishful thinking though #also if you disagree id love to have a discussion!

hot take time about the mizu and akemi ship. y'all can disagree but i said what i said, because again, it's just an opinion!!!!

putting the rest under a cut so y'all are free to ignore this if you want. i'm just rambling anyway and, again, these are just my personal opinions.

okay like i gotta hand it to blue eye samurai like it's genuinely impressive that they've written their characters so well, like each one of them feels so real and fully-realised

and as a consequence of that, it actually. for the first time ever. has me rooting against a sapphic ship becoming canon endgame LIKE LMAO ???? i didn't think that was POSSIBLE but here we are ???

cuz like if you know me at all you know i usually instantly latch onto any femslash ship at any given opportunity. like i don't think yall understand. i was ride or die for korrasami before it was even remotely a thing, like at that point korrasami was still a CRACK SHIP in the fandom and i was gunning for it immediately and begging them both to leave mako's stupid ass!!!

but SOMEHOW this show, with all its gender fuckery galore and all its well written characters, has somehow made me look at the mizu/akemi ship and say "i'll pass." like dont get me wrong i was pinning my hopes on it initially in the first episode, but by the time i got to the end??? NAH.

like don't get me wrong they ARE cute and sexy on paper and i DO definitely see them developing feelings for each other (mizu towards akemi especially, less so the other way around because akemi just does not strike me as the pining type) but for an endgame? nah. it'd be weird and messy for both of them like!!! they'd be bad for each other!!!

they both want and need completely different things in life (mizu wants vengeance but needs acceptance/belonging; akemi wants freedom but needs autonomy and empowerment).

and they don't even share much in common that would help them bond in a romantic way? like not even interests-wise, but like. personality-wise too. their perceptions of life and approaches and experiences all directly contrast each other. like i know that they're narrative foils and all, which is great, excellent really, but romantically? there is no common ground between them.

besides, of course, both being AFAB and struggling with the patriarchy and misogyny, both having a surrogate father figure who raised them (swordfather for mizu; seki for akemi). aside from those things, they diverge in almost every single way?

like i do get the appeal of the "yin and yang" dynamic of opposites attract in ships (i have so many such ships from other fandoms after all), so i do suppose that, if given enough time for a really long and intense slow burn, it could work. but with all the plot plot plot the show's got going on, i don't know if that's going to be possible, especially now that mizu is ??? apparently going to london ????

and what would their endgame even look like? the two of them running off into the sunset together? why? when akemi has everything she wants and needs in edo palace? which, by the way, is completely the opposite of what mizu wants and needs, as mizu needs a place where she is free to be herself and is accepted and loved for who she is. she does not need, nor want, a life of political intrigue. she is not made for it, nor is it meant for her. akemi, on the other hand, is perfectly suited for such a life, while being completely unsuited for a life on the road, travelling, or living on a farm in the middle of nowhere. nor would akemi like or enjoy such a life either! she'd get freedom, yes, but it would hardly be fulfilling, especially now that she has decided that she wants greatness!

i don't know. if they become canon endgame, the show better put in the work. because this is a netflix adult animated show with the freedom to do that (unlike, say, cartoons on nickelodeon and disney where the creators all faced heavy censorship to get some rep in), so if they're taking the sapphic endgame route, they better buck up and put their backs into it because seeing the state of it right now, the chemistry is bone-dry and the prospects are disastrous!!!!

so until further developments prove me wrong and change my mind, every time i see mizu/akemi content somehow escape the confines of the mute function, i just reenact the gengar gay wrongs gif:

#fandom.rtf #wank.mp3 #shut up haydar #blue eye samurai #mizukemicritical #also i say critical not anti because im not 100% against it #like lemme be clear i support gay women's rights and wrongs!!!!!!! in this house we stand up for toxic yuri rights 🫡 #but! i'm talking about like. from the perspective of what i want to be the canon endgame of the show #like i fully endorse the show exploring a romance between them! #but im crossing my fingers hoping they are not the final canon relationship ykwim dkjfksjfsk #but regardless of my feelings just know i'm still out here in the trenches defending them from the reddit homophobes 🫡🫡🫡

How would Roy and leo's future life look like?

thanks for asking! 🩵

leo genuinely believes that roy loves him too, so he doesn’t feel a need to run or find some elaborate way to escape. roy knows this, which is why he lets leo have a phone in the first place to contact his dad and whoever else. he has more “freedom” now that he’s so infatuated with him.

there’s less torture now. the “rules” are still in place, but they’re seen more as an obligation to leo now. cook for them both, don’t leave without permission etc. the captivity isn’t as present as it was before either. you could say they appear more “romantic” now that leo’s so far gone. they cook, spend time with each other, kiss, fuck.

roy still takes on contracts, but leo is obedient enough to stay at home until he comes back. i also have this mental little scenario in my head that if roy ever wants a target lured out of busy places (like a club, a pub, etc.), he can doll leo up and use him to flirt his targets right where he wants them🤭

but leo still goes and sees his father! just not so often, maybe like once in a month or two.

another day, more of this shit again.

[image description: the ‘don’t make me tap the sign’ simpsons meme where the sign reads “queerplatonic relationships and nonromantic committed relationships - and people talking about these things, even if you are not interested in them - are not amatonormative. amatonormativity does not want these relationships to exist.”]

#gav gab #aro blogging #yeah the aro community sometimes talks about them a lot #that's because they're talked about VERY LITTLE anywhere else and it's a type of relationship that is more prevalent here #if you don't want to talk about them no one is making you #and lately all i see are 'people talk about and write about and celebrate qprs too much' posts #and not a lot of..... that actually happening. #which like....... damn where are those posts bc i sure want to see them! #you don't have to be IN one but can you PLEASE stop implying there is any kind of societal endorsement of these relationships #there is not. i fucking promise. #I Fucking Promise. #damn i wish there was any kind of respect or protection or encouragement of them! things might SUCK FOR ME a little less! #aromantic

[annoying-probably]

do any of you have fave proseka ships? platonic counts too!! -🐌

Oh totally!!

I'm mainly an akty truther, personally. But I really like most in-vbs ships!! Not as hot on toyahane and akian but they just aren't my go-to dynamics! I am a FIRM believer in antoya in a story dynamics way. I love them.

I like all the "basic" project sekai ships, really! Your Ruikasas and Emunenes and Ichisakis, and ofc Anhanes- Catch is- I'm a big multi shipper. My other big ships are probably KanaMizu and KanaEna! And KanaMino... And.. AkiMino... And ShizuMino... And KanaKasa...... And MinoKasa... And ShizuKasa..... And HonaKana...

okay so to be straight- I really enjoy ships with Kanade/Minori/Shizuku/Akito in them. I think they're just really shippable characters who work well in the dynamics prsk offers.

Favourites for my in groups are likely

HonaSaki(or polyneed), MinoShizu (poly jump), Akitoya, Emurui(could be PolyWonderlands) and KanaMizu.

Id ship poly niigo more but I am not that big on Mafuyu shipping. I think she is someone who rn doesn't really care about or need a romantic bond. So I do like qpr polyniigo. Like I said, love Antoya, but they're also one of my favourite hypewoman/hypeman pairs. They build each other up!!! They're the besties!! For other platonic ships- Probably EnaToya. But that's moreso sibling like.

In another thematic way- mafutouya!!!! Their stories almost mirror each others with just a small split- early salvation or not? Project sekai doesn't really allow character story and stuff in mixed events- but it would be a very fun conversation to see <3

oh I know I said I like akimino relationship but it really is more a qpr thing :) they're absolute best friends and I NEED to read the new event story soon.

Oh also minokohashiho. thanks Lynn!

Thank you so much for the ask, Mx. Snail anon !!!!!!!! I don't often get to ramble on about my lil strange pairings :)

#project sekai #nyx rambles #akitoya #prsk #pjsk #honestly im half asleep right now #id show you a relationship chart but i think it might become incompressible very fast #thank u so much again sobs #almosy wrote minokanakasa instwad of 1A shipping and y #yea i love them too!! subconscious endorsement!!

[mea-trinitas-profana]

sorry if you saw me liking that one post in the tag i thought it was just a silly haha joke i didnt know if the op was like actually mocking ppl

#i think its fun that people develop background characters or self inserts to kiss that priest i endorse it even #he doesn't have to kiss that old man priest if you see the relationship differently that is also Completely Normal #[lady gaga voice] Let's stay playful together ☺️

[ale-arro]

from "El amor es heterosexual" (Love is heterosexual), translated by me:

"I wonder if the rhetoric of love is nothing but another discourse and another practice that we adopted from the heterosexual regime. In any case, it's a discourse that is totally inoffensive and domesticated, something that doesn't bother the patriarchal and homophobic system at all. On the contrary, dykes, fags, and even trans people are much more palatable and accepted when they have a partner ('what nice boys, they're not promiscuous') and especially when they proclaim 'their love' ('look at how sweet they are, they love each other; they're like us'). As Foucault said, what annoys power is not homosexual relationships, but friendship... ...That is to say, the possibility of creating supportive, affectionate, solidary, difficult-to-pinpoint networks of friends that escape social control and go beyond the binary individualist or liberal model: "partner - love - marriage'."

#🚨 translation is not whole endorsement of ideas🚨 #i do agree with the general conceit but i would not have taken as strong of a stance and i would not have used friendship in that way #aromantic #relationship anarchy #aro media

Hi

Yeah, I've seen the 1 min 30 Izzy teaser. I've seen it many times. I'm choosing to not go crazy on here because the second I do, I will abandon my WIP, and spend all day going in mental loops.

I'm just stuck on feelings of- 'damn we were right' (happy) and 'oh, damn, we were right' (devastated).

#ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd s2 speculation #spoilers for s2- especially Izzy and speculating about what the teaser implies- in the remaining tags #I knew Ed/Izzy would be taken seriously. I trusted Con to take a look at this and give it the full attention it deserves. I'm VERY happy rn #I love Ed/Izzy(a lot) but it's not healthy and I'm happier that the show is giving Izzy a serious arc to deal with it vs the alternative #which is part of the fun most Ed/Izzy shippers (especially artists/writers) get! they know #that this relationship on the show IS complex and there's shit on both ends these characters need to work through #Liking Ed/Izzy doesn't mean you endorse the behaviors of either characters. This season will likely show us even more of their past #and show even more shit between the two of them. It's likely Izzy won't come out 1 clean either. But that's why this is a ship people follo #Con is THE person to have for this arc as MANY of his projects include these types of issues in relationships. The man is GOOD at crying #I am SO fucking excited to see how he'll handle Izzy you lot have NO IDEA #BUT-The second I see anti's say shit on how any character deserves to be abused I will block them. #let's remember all the people in this fandom who are survivors of abuse and think 'Would I say this to them'? If so. Fucking Don't. #Yes. Morality isn't tied to fiction. You can like what you like. But let's remember you saying stupid shit can still affect real-life peopl

i love when romantic love absolutely trashes a character. i love when the character is so obsessed it ruins their and the object of their affection's lives. i love yanderes. i love personifications of love that cant fathom or prioritize any feeling but love so all their actions are fueled by love to the point where they wont know or care if they are doing something sinister. i love cupids. i love aphrodite. i love toxic relationships. i love parasocial relationships. i love when love inspires tragedy and insanity. i love an intense, blinding, and terrifying kind of love. i love love.

#would like to clarify that i still am refering to characters through this whole post #i do not endorse toxic or parasocial relationships unless it is for plot #this is going to my yandere sideblog aswell #yandere #love #lovecore #heartcore #relationships #characters #writing #books #themes #plots #writers #romantic #romance #yanderes #yanderecore #...💌 #prompts #otp prompts #otp #shipping #gothic romance #parasocial relationships

gently requesting the aro community to remember as they go to defend loveless aros and nonpartnering aros and whatever else that society Does Not in fact support aromantic love and relationships, platonic or otherwise, friendships or otherwise, and acting as if they do hurts other aros who are not in fact any more supported or encouraged.

#gav gab #aro blogging #no it's not in fact encouraged to love your friends the way a lot of aros do #in fact people get very weird and arophobic about it #aros who love are not in fact better off or privileged somehow and pretending like they are helps no one and causes harm #when did people start believing that things like prioritizing your friendships or family members over romantic relationships #or being in qprs or other committed platonic relationships or whatever #was something that was like. endorsed. supported. encouraged. #it is extremely fucking not lmao and if it IS tell me where so i can go and live there instead #because HERE it fucking sucks for me and it double sucks to see my own community essentially go 'whatever shut up you're fine' #'this is not about you' #it manifestly is about me actually. it's about all of us. #people being different than you or defending their right to exist in their relationships and love the way they love #is not in fact an attack on you!

[gobbochune]

some of you ppl so clearly crave toxicity in your media but have if in your heads that enjoyment is endorsement so you decide instead to get your fix by harassing real people in real life just to be safe

#if enjoyment is endorsement #what is it called when you're terrified of your blorbo being in a shitty relationship #so you choose instead to tell a bunch of real people to kill themselves #at least your fictional fav isnt being harmed i guess
