#i ship this so much but i dont see much content for them so...

[caliartcat]

omg I love your art soooo much they are so cute!! if I could do a request I would love to see some kristoph and apollo father and son content it's so funnyyyy and I saw in your tags that you also see them that way. I definitely think apollo would attach to him like that and look up to him a lot lol

dont know what specifically you're looking for but i made this. kristophs big brother instincts have unwittingly kicked in. they will never talk about this again (do not tag as ship! I'll Cry.)

#pet that fucking bunny #somehow i want to be both of them #apollo justice #kristoph gavin #ace attorney #art #requests #calis art #i dont even know how my own tagging system works at this point pffff

Penciled Lines

(Cross-posted on ao3, if you prefer to read it there. Reblogs still appreciated!)

Missa wakes up, and he thinks he might be doomed. This doesn’t scare him nearly as much as it should.

Missa is awake early—by his own metric, anyway. His nocturnal nature causes “early” for him to mean “early night” and not “early morning.” Regardless, “early” means that Philza is not asleep yet, still going through his nightly rituals. “Early” means that Philza is sitting up in (his? their?) the bed, pillows propped up behind him, notebook in his lap, sketching away.

And when Missa wakes up to the soft scritch-scratch of a charcoal pencil on textured paper, his forehead just so happens to be brushing Philza’s hip.

Missa can hardly breathe.

Oh no.

He knows that if he gives any indication that he is awake, Philza will stop sketching, close his notebook, shift himself over until he is politely seated on his side of the bed, and greet Missa with a friendly smile. Philza has done it before, when Missa wakes up early. That’s how Missa knows he’ll do it again.

Thus, Missa can hardly breathe—his breaths have to be the slow in-out of sleep. He can’t so much as twitch, either. He has to keep quiet and play dead or else he’ll be found out. Seen. Caught living the lie.

“Husband,” Philza calls him. They’re not married. They share a bed. They’re hardly ever in it at the same time. They have a son and a daughter. Neither of them know Missa very well. Philza has had an extra set of armor and a skull on his backpack for months, waiting for Missa. Missa doesn’t even know Philza’s last name.

Philza is a good man and a good friend—and Missa doesn't deserve him. Still, he takes what he can get. Curls around it. Hoarding every innocent kindness Philza extends like a starving creature: the generosity of a backpack fully stocked with equipment; the trust Philza places in Missa to watch the kids when he’s asleep; and now, the courtesy of not moving his hip from Missa’s forehead to ensure his “sleeping” isn’t disturbed. Missa clutches all of these little offerings in his greedy claws and hugs them into his chest, even as the guilt eats away at him.

Because, regardless of the lack of mutual feeling, he loves Philza. He loves him so, so much, and that is why he is doomed. He can’t afford to lose what little he has. He can’t cross that line. 

So Missa lies beside Philza, forehead pressed against Philza’s hip, pretending to sleep so he can imagine that they’re not just lying in bed together, but lying in bed, together; and later, when Missa truly wakes, he will sit on his side of the bed and look at Philza’s face soft with sleep and think about how lucky he is that he still has a side-of-the-bed to begin with.

Missa doesn’t mean to drift off. When it starts to happen, he’s hopelessly torn between shaking himself awake and thus giving himself away, or remaining how he is, silently fending off the inevitable. In the end, Missa clings to that scritch-scratch sound of Philza’s pencil on the paper for as long as he can before the fog at last pulls him under. 

Eventually, he dreams. In fact, he dreams of the calloused fingers he dreams of every night, hands like his own, an artist of Death, cradling and shading the contours of his face—a softness dashing charcoal across his jaw, and over his cheekbones, and perhaps on his lips, too, if he’s lucky. Defining every edge of him.

~*~

A deep sigh. Phil stops sketching as Missa shifts in his sleep. He tilts his head up so that the tip of his nose is now just nearly brushing against Phil’s hip. The motion disturbs the wild splay of his dark hair, revealing more of his face: eyelashes, cheeks, warmth. Tender blush of something Stygian and otherworldly. New.

Phil’s lips tilt upwards. He turns to a fresh page, and he starts again.

[lunar-wandering]

i’m never ever going to make a post like this again, but if i see ONE MORE POST about this im going to actually break down sobbing so.

Sun Wukong and the Six Eared Macaque are NEVER canonly stated to be brothers.

Yes, they are the origin of the “evil twin” plot point. Yes, the may be inspired by an older legend of “two monkey god brothers”.

But not once, does the text of Journey to the West say they are canonically brothers.

I did not spend an entire week researching these two (and done it multiple more times whenever it was brought into question), just for people to go around saying “They were canonically blood brothers in Journey to the West, and Lego Monkie Kid will make them brothers later on :)”.

(Of course, if you headcanon them as being brothers, or prefer to see them that way, that’s fine. I have no problems with that. It’s your interpretation after all. It’s people saying it’s definitely canon that I take issue with.)

First and fore most, Wukong literally can’t have siblings. Sure, he can have siblings by choice, like the other pilgrims, but he was born from a rock, y’all. I think we would’ve heard if the rock had done anything else.

Secondly: The text of Journey to the West does NOT say they are brothers. I don’t know why we have to go through this so many times. In fact; in Journey to the West, it says they didn’t even know each other. The Six Eared Macaque, as well as Sun Wukong, are declared as the same species (a mystic monkey, that doesn’t match up with any other kind of being, of which there are only four in this world), not as family. Six Eared Macaque was only able to disguise himself as Sun Wukong, and copy his abilities, because of his ability to hear the past present and future- he listened to all the training Wukong did, and thus replicated it. And even with the ability to hear so much, outside of no-one being able to tell the two monkeys apart, he doesn’t actually do that good of a job at pretending to be Wukong (hitting Tripitaka on the head for example). The two of them had never met before this in Journey to the West canon.

(I’m mainly keeping this post about Journey to the West, but it’s obvious Lego Monkie Kid has changed many backstories. However; if the show was going to go with the route of them being brothers, I’m extremely certain it would’ve been stated by now. For one, the creators do interact with the fans, and have encouraged Macaque/Wukong content. Secondly, “beloved friend” would most certainly have been changed to “dear brother”. He would’ve described the hero and the warrior as brothers in that story, because there literally would not have been a better time to drop that information story wise. If they were going to be confirmed as siblings, it would’ve been done by now, I assure you. Of course, this doesn’t mean I think Macaque/Wukong will be canon either. If anything, it’ll just stick to them being friends, which makes perfect sense in a story that focuses on friends and found family like this. You can headcanon them as brothers if you want, but do not go running around claiming it as canon- and telling newcomers who are questioning and genuinely don’t know that it’s canon.)

Thirdly: “but what about the movies where they’re brothers” you say. “but what about Dislyte, where they’re brothers” you say. Now look at me. If you were heterosexual, and you saw a story like the Six Eared Macaque being obsessed with Sun Wukong’s life, what would you take away from that??? Almost definitely, the first answer in your mind would be siblings. Not to mention the other popular idea of him literally being part of Sun Wukong (this is also not canon. Sure, allegorically he might represent Wukong’s internal battle with his violent tendencies, but literally almost every character in Journey to the West is an allegory. The whole damn book is an allegory. But we’re not looking at the allegory here, we’re looking at the story), these are both common directions that would be taken. But just because it makes for good story potential, to give a deeper meaning behind these two characters by making them siblings or part of one whole, does not make it canon. You can’t look at one interpretation of a story and say it was canon to another. Would you take Gnomeo and Juliet and say “well since they survived at the end, it must be canon they survived in the original play, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong”? No. No you wouldn’t. Because that’s an assumption, that’s a twist on a story to give a new meaning to it. But even if it’s fun, it’s not part of the original.

So, to put a cap on this post, sure, go ahead, think of the Six Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong as brothers if you want. I literally couldn’t care less. That’s your own interpretation of it. Block the shadowpeach tag if it makes you uncomfortable, that’s what tag blocking is for.

But do not. Do Not go into people’s askboxes and tell them the Six Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong are canonically related. Do not go into the askboxes of people who ship shadowpeach and send them death threats for their own interpretation of a shows interpretation of two guys who didn’t even know each other in the original text. Do Not tell people who ask that the two of them are canonically related, because then you’re just spreading misinformation.

Once again, if you view them as family, and don’t do any of the above, you’re fine, this post is not about you. Have fun with your ideas and stories /gen

This is the only post I’m ever going to make on this subject. If you try to argue with me you will be blocked. You can reblog, but for the sake of my anxiety I’d rather not have any replies or comments on this.

Please, y’all. If I can have enough respect to stay in my own bubble, and not force shadowpeach on people who don’t want it, and can keep myself from claiming that it’s going to be canon, then why can’t the people who have decided to interpret them as brothers do the same?

#Monkie Kid #JTTW #Journey to the West #tagging the big names here because i want this to reach #gonna be honest. im terrified to be posting this. but i GLANCED in the main tag today and saw something and just. #i cant. ive had this rant building in me since august of last year. i cant keep silent about it anymore #i'd rather not post this at all. might even delete it. i dont like interacting with drama #i HATE fandom drama #i know the reason why there seems to be so much of it here is because the LMK fandom is new #and still growing #and that things will probably settle down in a bit #but i just. every time i see someone say ''Macaque and Wukong are DEFINITELY brothers'' #instead of ''i view them as brothers'' #i just get SO FUCKING ANXIOUS #i remember the initial drama #(which. by the way was started by one person. one. Just One. One person was all it took for nobody to check sources) #i remember my friends getting hate messages and death threats #and i remember everyone taking a break from shadowpeach for a bit #and. tbh. it's never felt the same. there's not as much content of it anymore. #it almost feels like everyone panicked and scrambled for new ships to replace the ''oh so awful shadowpeach'' #and even after things settled down. the damage had been done. #too many people too scared to come back into creating the content they had enjoyed creating before #just ONE PERSONS POST was enough to ruin the comfort and fun of so many people #and i will never forgive nor recover from that. #..... #vent #this is very much a vent post #i think im going to go offline for the next hour or two #to give this post a bit to settle down after i post it. #i might delete it after i come back online. who knows.

#unrebloggable because i dont want anybody who sees this to do so without knowing that i fucking hated dj at the time #largely bc the fan content was uh. i don't want to say bad but it was deeply uninteresting. but in the comic on the other hand? #i actually found the resulting conflict interesting and seeing two human characters have to reckon with if being mlm would change how #their friends perceived and treated them was literally the best and most grounded and most validating portrayal of what it was like to be a #queer teenager that i had ever seen. it meant a lot to me #but that wasn't really the same as shipping it #which i very much do now as an adult #teen me would hate myself but its okay me i got older and gayer and came back to this comic with a bunch of mental illnesses you're welcome #i'm not dissing rosmary btw i fucking loved it as a teenager. so much. it just didn't have the same reckoning with the reality of queerness #i was obsessed with rose as a teen. i wish i could go back. now i like her deranged gay dad instead

[auroracycle-enjoyer]

feel like this will be a very very VERY unpopular opinion but i don't really see the chemistry between scar and fin. like yeah, they're a sexy power couple i guess, but they never really had time in the series to develop their friendship before just falling head over heels in love. and that sucks, because all the other couples got more acquaintance before they got together.

and it's really clear to me how all of the other couples seem to uplift their partner and naturally support their partner's weaknesses. like auri convinces kal to take risks, and he (mostly tries to) keep her from running into dangerous situations without thinking (he's just generally the Most devoted partner one could Ever ask for though. and the times when he goes feral for her asdfkjdfd o h m y g o d).

tyler and saedii have their incredibly horny telepathy thing going on, and they are also just the Definition of a power couple. if you look up "power couple" in the dictionary theres a picture of saedii kissing tyler while also stabbing someone and they're also playing like three incredibly convoluted strategy games at once. maker's breath.

then we have zila and nari, and although they don't get that much screen time (page time?), we can see that after the timeskip zila is much more emotive and nari seems less prone to angry outbursts. and you canNot tell me they didn't work together like that.

idk its just like. in comparison i kinda feel like scar and fin's relationship is kinda meh. and i think the fandom kinda does them a disservice by making their relationship monogamous when im like 95% sure they would both be down for a long-term polyamorous relationship.

the ending kinda just feels like it wanted every single one of the characters to get with someone? or maybe im just aroace and im missing the point *shrug* just me thoughts here

#just my personal opinion!! please dont be mean about this #and of course i dont mean to offend anyone who does ship them #the aurora cycle #aurora cycle #tyler jones #scarlett jones #saedii gilwraeth #kaliis gilwraeth #finian de karran de seel #finian de seel #zila madran #nari kim #i just feel like scar and fin would be SUCH great single wine aunts #take the tydii kids out for wild adventures #take the aurikal kids out for wild adventures too except auri wants to go too bc adventurous woman !!! and kal HAS to come with her #they just feel like theyd be so much more powerful single idk #youll still see me reblogging ALL the finlett content though because. every single person in this fandom is a goddamn genius i swear to god

[moeblob]

Among many others? I like a fair amount of ships with Ferdinand and my indecision has led me to smooshing him into poly a few times? But I guess Bernadetta gets the honors to be drawn here since I got their end card in my first AM run and I love them both very, very much.

(if I had any more energy for FE I’d draw him and Sylvain, too, cause that’s one I don’t mention much but let the horse boys be horse boyfriends)

#fe three houses #ferdinand von aegir #bernadetta von varley #my babies i love them both so very much #i just really like drawing him and felix bc im the only one that does that i know of? #so like.... other ships for ferdinand get some content that i see and im like i love that for him #but then i dont feel motivated to contribute more content to said ship since others are doing it lol #there is one student that i cant bring myself to ship him with at all ? #a few students i much prefer him as being just friends with but have no issues seeing content for them romantic #idk i just want my son to be happy and loved #i actually wrote the start of a poly fic for him and felix and sylvain and it was kinda cute (im biased)

[keepinventory]

continually so baffled by the flock of people that just started shipping izutsumi with marcille like immediately. i didnt know anything about dungeon meshi at the time but now i Do and now looking back its like. ? Why. Are you for serious forgetting the bath scene with farlin. Why are you so quick to abandon her. Is it because she's a monster. Are you fucking mad at her. We're doing all this shit for her and you're just gonna drop her like that? Because she doesn't appear as consistently as the catgirl? That's all it takes? Fuck you. Fuck you

#👽 < text tag #to be completely clear LOVE IZUTSUMI. WONDERFUL CHARACTER. SHE RULES. #but 1. she's 17 #2. even if she WAS of age i still dont see it. like oo she's a cat! that's the extent of her relationship with marcille. #Why was there so much shipping content of them. I don't get it. it was enough that i (someone thatdidnt know dunmesh) saw it CONSISTENTLY #on my dash. i just dont understand. You guys just all hate farlin thats the only explanation i can think of #this entire post was made because i saw someone describe dunmesh as ''an elf girl consistently almost kisses a catgirl over and over'' LIKE #LITERALLY FALSE.

Started thinking about the Amanda Waller + Ben Turner relationship again.... fuck, I'm gonna need a minute

#I JUST- SHDIAUDJSHDSHEYEYRYRYRY guys. guys #i know none of you see my vision and thats okay. i will make you see my vision. i will force you to see my vision. i will- #like jesus fucking christ oh my god. its so interesting and gives me so many emotions and just!!! #i know im not making sense bc none of my moots are sui sq fans and also like half of the content fucking me up specifically here is in my #head because i cant stop thinking about my absolute power fix it au but like!!!!!!! #also the fact i have a fix it for a comic that isnt out yet is so funny to me. its literally fucking real though. god knows we need it #may my own content carry me through the dark times (extreme villain waller arc) #anyways this fucks me up so bad you dont even know. someday ill actually explain it #dc hire me to write a suicide squad ongoing PLEASE. i could do it so good it would be so fucking good dc PLEASE 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #also like this isnt me shipping them btw. like 110% not that. just to clarify. #i wouldnt even call it a friendship bc like. theyre not friends really. he has the most equal dynamic with her i would say but it still isnt #equal. shes v much his boss even though they have an understanding and respect there #like she believes and trusts in him much more than anybody really even himself. like she sees the good man and the leader even when he #doesnt. but she isnt nice about it. and there is a lot of conflict between them when there needs to be #like as much as ben is “wallers man”--the team leader she wanted from the beginning before rick flagg pushed his way in #ben i would say is still a very moral person even when lost and unsure of himself and his goodness (which is like one of his main things) #like i feel like while amanda can lean very into a “the ends justify the means” mindset in her worse moments and do bad things to get #herself out of a corner ben has like a deep and meaningful understanding of how the choices of your methods and how you act can weigh on you #like even though he was brainwashed and whatnot (thats still the story right? i cant remember) he holds a lot of guilt and baggage over his #actions and i think is able to temper amanda's worse tendencies in terms of that by calling her out when he recognizes that behavior #idk. i just really think that amanda waller and the suicide squad as a whole has lost its way without a more moral authority presence there. #like someone who can call her out and keep them more on track. which i really thing ben is and could be #i just very much am interested in their dynamic and how that would look like as equals and how i think they could help each other. #which ofc is what my wip is about and revolves around #blah #sui sq

[heirtotheempire]

I better not see any ship wars in the tags when the episodes drop. Y'all can be mature. Leave sabezra shippers alone, and leave those who don't ship sabezra alone. If you see them as a couple, that's cool but an opinion. If you see them as siblings, that's cool as well, but still an opinion. Different interpretations exist. What do you gain from being a jerk about it either way?

#my post #seriously #i look through the ezra tag a lot bc hes my fave and its surprising how much vaguing and complaining there is already #chill out! #if canon doesnt go as planned then write a fic or something #christ people #for the record im neutral about sabezra #like i dont go out of my way to ship it and look at content for it #but its not a bad ship at all?? if it becomes canon then who care #quite frankly i dont see them as siblings or a couple but just buddies #so i heavily dislike this notion that they can only be siblings OR partners

[piningprecussionist]

(Not an rp ask)

What is your opinion on chau x kim? I'm not a shipper of it myself but I heard it was a proship since knives is 17 but also I saw she was 18 in the comic so I'm not sure where to stand on it honestly. But I'd like to hear your opinion about it !! Sorry if this is a bit of a random ask (ーー;

You're completely fine!! Do not even worry about it.

So, yeah- When Scott first meets Knives, and I'm not entirely sure how much time passes between then and when they start dating, it was *literally* her seventeenth birthday, as I am reminding myself reading back over these panels presently. And then at the start of book six, the first time we see (real, non-dream,) Knives, she has apparently been eighteen for a week!

Now, I'm going to preface with a little something before I go further into this: I am totally fine answering this ask and others like it I think! but, I will note, I do get like a (not fun) physical sensation in my chest- partly anxiety (lol) but also something else I think- thinking about them like 95% of the time- it's gotta be like. Handled The Right Way, if that makes sense. Let's get into it.

So, first off, I'm just gonna re: some of the stuff relative to this I've posted here before- both nonrp and rp, since I use RP to develop my read on Kim and shed some light on how I see things I guess!

These clips come from this ask (and reblog) here!

This rp ask here, which is simply too difficult for me to get in a good screenshot I feel, so I recommend just checking it and the tags for it out- I will share my Bonus Commentary reply though:

This ask as well! Tags less pressing, but still provide a little insight.

And this is probably a dumb inclusion if I really want to make a pseudonym to post fics under, but. I have posted my (very early) thoughts on the SPTO sparks scene to AO3 before, so- (and before going into this- I did remember that Julie and Gideon have that sparks scene after the fact!)

And here's the Barely Anything Lines hinting at the ship that I had in that fic that I used to justify that blurb, while we're here:

I think I've gone over my feelings a little bit in the discord as well, and there might even be more rp stuff relative to it, but I'm not going to go back and get any of that honestly- at least, not right now, or unless requested, since I don't really feel like it's necessary, if it does exist. This gives a pretty good glimpse in I'd say- especially that second to last one there.

So. Yeah.

Used to ship it; have expanded my horizons since then. I don't really want to knock it because like... for some people this is a legitimate life experience for them- one that might have even turned out well, miraculously. And there also a lot of minors in this fandom evidently, so like, any other baby gays out there just wanting to Project for a minute? I feel that. Sincerely I do. It's not the wisest choice but better to read fanfiction about it than go out and actually make out with a 23 year old, Gods forbid. (Genuinely felt sick thinking about that; fucking gross. Any minors out there: Please Make Good Choices. Look out for yourselves. Begging you. There are too many freaks in this world- I promise you whoever you're thinking of probably isn't the magical exception.)

But there are definitely things to consider about them that are very interesting to me, still, so like. I'm in this weird state of conflict; I don't know if it's just me being like "it happened, you can't escape it" or having been desensitized/some sort of Brainwashed by how many times I had to use Knives in the game to quick heal- maybe something else but I just don't feel like flaying myself open like that unprompted for just anyone- but like. Oh man.

Sorry, gathering/writing this that feeling like went away but came circling back for this last bit, it seems. Which makes sense I guess. I feel like I'm setting myself up for a Pyre right now eugh shfsgkjfhjg

I dunno. I'm not gonna lie and pretend like I know it to be some big formative ship for me in my early teen years, but it was kind of important in finally coming around to realizing how queer I was, I think. My memories of the time are fuzzy, but it would have been one of the things- there were likely larger ones, my current obsession could be recoloring my past here so I'm trying to acknowledge that.

But there is like. A dynamic that is posited by them that is also one I'm a really big sucker for. More so now than I was then, so I find myself grinding my teeth about that a fair bit at times.

I definitely still really like it as something unrequited no matter what I think; I like the idea of Knives having a really big crush on Kim, genuinely. I think it's cute and funny as hell for how uncomfortable it would make Kim, who's just trying so hard not to be a fucking creep while this ray of sunshine hangs off her- something she absolutely does not deserve (in her eyes.)

I'm obviously more partial to Kim resisting any advances made at her, but I can understand so, so badly why someone might be attracted to the idea of Knives managing to thaw some of Kim's frigidity with that. Ugh.

If they work for me, I think they'd have to work for me after Knives is gone at college for a bit. Kim would need to know Knives for longer than she knew her as a minor- and they'd have to be FRIENDS in that time, quite strictly. Kim would need to not feel (intensely, because frankly, she would unavoidably feel this way at least a little no matter what,) like she was a fucking groomer going into it, basically. I don't know what I think past that.

You know, I'll put my feelings like this: with the exception of a fic I saw recommended to someone that intrigued me, I have managed to resist reading any/many fics featuring them, despite it being a large majority of the wlw Kim fics that exist, and also kinda just Kim fics generally. It's kind of Insane, especially considering how much Kimona SCREAM at you from the pages of the comic itself- but I digress....

I've been working on this for like over an hour now I think so I really should cut myself off. I am like,, too hungry and mildly stoned to be rambling off about this maybe. If you want more concise/specific thoughts, I recommend prompting! I can try and channel the responses easier with a bit more direction, maybe?

...

actually another thing real quick- I like. Do not know that I could ever feel comfortable, truly, consuming content for them, not knowing if the OP has good intentions. I just Do Not trust people, largely, so that's just like. A little thing. Idk. "Death to the author" or whatever but I am still allowed to feel personally uncomfortable ya know! I don't want them taking my silent observation as like,, passive acceptance in the event that they were. Idk if that makes sense, I need to go eat already, I'm hitting post before i drag this out to TWO hours

from the little of the tag i've skimmed it doesnt seem like the shipping scene is very robust here. most art also seems to be of the non-human variety. i suppose i must fulfil my duty as The One Guy™

#wiiild text #again im VERY NEW to the fandom so i could very well be mistaken on any/all of this #and dear lord in heaven do not take this as me blaming anyone for anything. this is just standard small fandom stuff yknow. #not accusing anyone (in general or specific) of “doing things the wrong way”; thatd be really silly to apply to a fandom #just...remarking that i'm probably going to have to do the work myself to see the things i want to see. which i'm very used to lol #from what i can tell there doesnt even seem to be an “official” ship name for rat and mole and..... #i mean im just gunna call it molerat #most content i see of them is just pointing at the canon and saying how gay they are. which is fair; because they indeed are. incredibly so #but most of it seems to stick so closely to canon + nothing else. which isnt a bad thing! its just...theres so much more there could be!! #and its more or less a desert for anything besides molerat; besides the one chief/lesser wease.l/cheryl??? w/e her name is kiss #like where the HELL is the chief wease.l/mole??? /rat??? where the HELL is toad??? #where the HELL IS BADGER #where is the art of lesser wease.l fawning over chief like the big loser (affectionate) he is??? #where is the ZEST #i guess think of this as my mission statement. granted i dont pull a toad and drop this blog in a week lmao

im not mad abt this so dont start discourse over this but i do dislike the barbiecore x gothcore sapphic ship aesthetic bc that's just it. an aesthetic. i dont like how a ship is boiled down to that by fandom or creators both. even if u like the contrast btwn grumpy and sunshine characters or whatever theres sth abt the way the visual of it is emphasized so heavily but only when it comes to sapphic ships.. it doesn't sit right w me. its like these arent real characters with depth and dimensions, just cutouts with different backgrounds.

#yes this is after seeing wednesday content but ive seen so many ships come n go in my day.. the pinkette vs ravenette yknow #ofc disclaimers not that it's inherently bad or bad writing and at the same time i feel alot of ships dont canonically emphasize #the contrast but rather fandom forcds them into these boxes. either way i dont vibe w it as much i have to say.. #it feels like so many sapphic ships are enjoyed for being aesthetics first and foremost rather than fleshed out characters interacting #in a way that feels organic n compelling etc. ofc the aesthetics can be present n even important but why do creators #and sapphic fans alike focus so much on those 🤔🤔🤔 gen question btw

Do you like Sonawdow? And have you got any w.i.p’s to show of them?

Not really and no :)

I did this one a while ago but you need to read the fic by @teamxdark for the context

I was planning to do a lyric comic as like a gift for people but i deleted it last week I just dont feel the passion i need for such a big project

But I do have two sonadow songs for you to enjoy

I do have a lot of multi ships and one of my favourite sonic ships has shadow in it- but I’m not brave enough to do art ahahaha oopsie

Thanks for the ask xx

#ask #anon #seagull squawks #sonadow #i dont hate on people who ship them btw #theres so much good fan content out there #i dont mind it in the context of SatBK but i see Lancelot and shadow as different characters #and comically i love all the sonic boom sonadow stuff thats all very funny #so if i did do a lyric comic it be with sonic boom tbh #but yeah otherwise not it for me im afraid #i like them as friends or secret friends but thats it

i know a thousand other people have said this already, but im so tired of the fact that people just dont write good fanfiction about female characters or female relationships. all the 100k-word epics on ao3 are about m/m or m/f pairings, and i just mourn for all the life-changing stories we could have about female characters, the ones that fundamentally re-frame your way of thinking, the ones where the romance is slow burn that's hot and heavy and so, so achingly intimate that the page is bleeding with it.

where are those stories?

#and it's not just because there are more male characters in fictional media #it's mostly because we all care about men more #because a m/m pairing between two male background or side characters from a popular show will have AT LEAST QUADRUPLE the amount of content #than the content for a f/f ship between MAIN CAST members from that same show. #it just fucking sucks. and i wish i could change it. #it's not always enough to just write it yourself yknow? #thats not really the solution here #it would require a massive restructuring in how we prioritize female characters #especially in order to prioritize them separate from male characters. #the majority of shows or fandoms where a female main cast member is popular? their number one ship in fandom is with a male character. #can't escape it man :( #mine #fandom #i feel like we just dont like dedicating that much time to thinking about women—even fictional women. #it's not as fun or as interesting as thinking about men. and why is that hm? #i cant change what people like to write #but its always so devastating when i see an author who writes really really well #just stick to m/m stories. and theyre fantastic!! but id love to see what those writers could do with female characters too. #an account with like 8 different 50k fics about the same m/m pairing. AND while often writing a f/f pairing as a background pairing #(which is a whole other annoying issue that deserves its own post) #it just makes it even sadder that they dont dedicate that same energy toward imagining what it might look like for that background f/f #pairing to have a story of their own with just as much love and care. #(AND LIKE. YOU CANT EVEN TELL ME ITS JUST CUZ THE CHARACTERS ARE CHARACTERIZED DIFFERENTLY #LIKE TO SAY THAT THE F/F PAIRING JUST WOULDNT BE AS INTERESTING BECAUSE THEYRE MORE STABLE OR NORMAL OR NOT AS CODEPENDENT OR SOME SHIT #LIKE NOT ONLY IS THAT JUST SEXIST. IT'S ALSO HYPOCRITICAL #'CAUSE YOU'RE OUT HERE GIVING WHOLE NEW FANON PERSONALITIES TO THESE MALE CHARACTERS #FUCKING. STEVE HARRINGOTN AND EDDIE MUNSON FROM STRANGER THINGS WOULD NOT IN A MILLION YEARS DATE IN THE SHOW. #SO TO WRITE SOLID FANFICTION WITH GOOD CHEMISTRY YOURE GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR PERSONALITIES A BIT. #AND THAT'S NOT A BAD THING!!! BUT IT MAKES IT ALL THE MORE FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU JUST...DON'T PUT AS MUCH EFFORT #INTO THE FEMALE CHARACTERS. JUST CUZ YOU DON'T LIKE THEM AS MUCH.

Actually, DS9 is pretty much the only show I have watched where I have had opinions on ships besides “I hate them” or “They seem good for each other so I GUESS it’s fine but I’d rather look at something else.” These are as follows:

Most of the canon endgame ships, including Jadzia and Worf because I think getting married and remaining married until one of you dies counts as endgame, are actually pretty cute and I did not hate watching them (this is high praise for a ship coming from me). My favorite of them from a character standpoint is Ben and Kasidy, which tbh is also the only one I wasn’t immediately irritated by when it first started. The others I was annoyed with at first but eventually came around to, and ultimately they are mostly pretty well written too.

The only major canon ship I REALLY DON’T like at all is Ezri and Julian. I feel like they will commit so many medical ethics violations because due to lack of other providers they are literally each other’s doctor and therapist and both have a HISTORY of committing medical ethics violations when treating people they are close with (Ezri just generally, Julian specifically with romantic interests). Also it was so forced and rushed. Maybe it could’ve been fine if they’d had like an entire extra season to flesh it out but I would honestly have preferred if they just didn’t do it at all. Also I feel like poor Ezri should’ve gotten like a year to just exist and figure out her issues before being shoved into any relationships AND before returning to work as a therapist because holy shit she fucked up administering therapy so bad so many times.

The one non-canon ship I most think should have been canon if the writers had dared to because it would’ve actually worked really well is the O’Brien polycule. Miles and Keiko clearly care about each other a lot yet have kind of an unstable relationship as it is, but every time they bring a third person into it, it seems to help significantly. They should stay married but Miles should also date Julian and Keiko should also date Kira who is also dating Odo. I think this would eliminate like 90% of drama in these characters’ relationships and generally improve station morale.

Julian and Garak was fun when I was watching the show and discussing it with friends, I guess I would’ve liked to see it in the show if it was handled well because they have an interesting dynamic and it would’ve presumably put an end to the parade of really insufferable “Julian has a crush... on DAX and/or a GIRL WE NEVER SAW BEFORE” events, but at this point I have seen way too many out of character incorrect quotes posts about it clogging the tag and so now I’m kind of tired of it. I get the appeal but let’s post about something else sometimes. Alternatively, let’s make posts about the ship that incorporate the characters’ actual personalities even a little bit. Either is fine.

Quark and Odo should NOT date because Odo would not treat Quark right and Quark would not treat anyone right. Quark wants a relationship so bad but I think he is just way too much of an asshole to everyone he cares about and should be banned from romance forever, sorry Quark. However, and this is crucial, the ship is such an incredible comedy setup that I am still generally happy to see posts about it anyway. “Quark and Odo try dating but they are really bad at it and have a nasty breakup” would also have been a viable episode plot and a fantastic addition to the “Quark fucks up an attempt at romance really bad” episode collection.

Sisko and Dukat is a terrible ship if it’s requited, because Sisko not only deserves better than that but also has too much of a moral backbone to ever even consider dating a person who sucks as bad as Dukat does. HOWEVER, it is funny when people write Dukat as having just an absolutely doomed and miserable one-sided crush on Sisko, who just straight up hates him and has no positive feelings towards him at all. And honestly? Considering what we know about Cardassian flirting and what we know about the horrendous way Dukat treats women he canonically has massive unrequited crushes on, you could make a good argument that "Dukat has a massive unrequited crush on Sisko and is handling it so badly and that’s at least partially why he did this” is a valid read of several of his actions in the show.

I have no real interest in a ship between Jake and Ziyal for its own sake; it’s been boring in every way I’ve seen it presented even though one could in theory do interesting things with it. HOWEVER since the writers were so determined to introduce weird fucking horrible to watch romance subplots for these characters (all of which were thankfully brief, but like, still awful), I think it would’ve improved the show if they were in a relationship simply by virtue of the fact that they were around the same age.

#even my favorites of these im not super invested in in the way people tend to get invested in ships but like. #i think they work. #you probably wont ever see any content from me about them but im happy to see other people's content. you know #i'm not tagging this and have carefully avoided using actual ship names in order to avoid bothering people who ship these. #so please keep that in mind and do not send me bitchy anons about it <3 #also this one i dont have strong enough feelings about to include in the main post but bc it's fairly popular and so people might ask? #weyoun and damar as it is shipped on tumblr is a ship between two characters who are straight up not in the show #it doesnt bother me but i dont get it #like when i see people shipping this they've pretty much always completely changed both characters' personalities #and sometimes also redesigned them???? #and like. have fun i guess. but also maybe you should try making ocs

oh no I'm out of b1urr posts to spam rb and torment my followers on main with

#well Actually maybe if i looked through some old blogs i could find stuff but i. dont want to #the psychic damage i get whenever i have to look through them and see shit tier b1urr content including #1) b1urr being characterized as ''feminine'' so that he fits in the role as the ''girl'' #(often done specifically for sh0ckb1urr but ive seen it for other ships too) #2) b1urr literally being abused and this is treated as cute or romantic #3) b1urr being extra flirtatious and/or mean as a way to overcompensate #for the popular depiction of sh0ckb1urr that caused the previous problem listed #4) general misunderstanding of his character (making him a social butterfly and stuff like that) #5) general objectifying of b1urr (this tiea heavily with the first issue #and i dont even want to unpack the Mess that is in terms of how feminity is presented as well as gay ppl in weird gay fandom shipping bs #bc this is NOT an exclusive problem to fanon b1urr content but he's unfortunately a great example of it) #and its like. Oh Boy is it Hard to find b1urr content that doesnt fall into any of those descriptions #its just. pounding my head against the wall #this is why i dont look through the tags as much these days 💔 #i just get met with disappointment bc this is #to my detriment #the standard depiction of b1urr in this fandom :////// #anyway this was just sparked by seeing b1urr buttcheeks for the thousandth time. it broke me #maybe this might inspire me to make blurr content again. spite and desperation #🐝 could you repeat the last part? 🟦
