#literally any group ship

[a-nice-egg-offering]

I just know they’re gonna make macdennis canon and it’s going to rly piss me off when they do lol. It doesn’t make sense with every piece of character and world building they’ve done but as the years go on they’ve started to lean into what the fans want rather than their original vision so I won’t be in the least bit surprised it’ll just be disappointing

Had this in the tags but I want it apart of the post actually

Magma from last night w/ @neonsix67 !!!

I drew a bunch of my bg3 Tav, Ormand. (He's a handful. I thank Neon for letting me be a menace with this man on her team.) Some dca content (Sun, Being!Eclipse, and Fool from gitm). And then some oc stuff with N-8 (Nate) my beloved son, the computer program.)

Neon drew her pumpkin-head spooky season oc, Eyefil (beloved batdr oc♡) and Moon! Along with the lil Iris and Light's in the edges w/ commentary hehe~)

#light's spot #my art #oc #others art #okay so #Ormand tries to be helpful #he beat the first two trials w/o any trouble (Kill ur Double and Leapfrog) but like #he's a paladin. he has no stealth. Torgana (neon's tav) had to come in and one-shot the puzzle after 45 minutes of #Ormand struggling istg #i felt so bad he just couldn't physically be sneaky enough lmao--- #also he likes slipping through the floor into the chasms so uhhh #👀 #and tonal shift rq #but N-8 is another robot I'm collecting that I donXt need #he's literally an AI that drives a space-ship. that's it. no one can see this neat physical form of his #unless they're also an AI #he's weird and is one of the few w/ y'know actual personality and ideals beyond his main function as a pilot ai #he's rediculous #he once hacked an entire group of space adventurers into a base with minimal trouble #and then in the AI space just straight-up shot this ship's main AI to get her out of the way so his adventuring group #could make a swift get-away with the item they stole #his moral compass flips between: Whatever the calculations say will make it easiest. Whatever is more funny. #he never told anyone he shot that AI btw... they think he just restarted the system. #Eyefil #N-8 #Sun dca #sun fnaf #fool gitm #moon fnaf #Ormand

every time I read something where someone tries to explain why Mike and El deserve to be endgame I end up less concerned about the person’s love of the ship and more concerned about 1) the persons' ability to interpret basic themes and images in media and 2) the dynamic they have or expect from/with a partner in real life

#like?! somewhere between misunderstanding the entire show and thinking its cool to lie to your partner lies most m*leven shippers lmfao #like if you wanna ship them because they're canon or because they're cute together and you wanna explore that DO IT #but lets not confuse our headcanons for the show?? #or...make characters into things they're not trying to arrange a jigsaw puzzle we just spent a 13 hr szn being shown doesn't quite fit #the way they enjoy this couple though…it’s literally either terrifying or attributing byler traits to Mike and El LMAO #LIKE #the lack of desire for communication. or shared interests. or even...any kind of POSITIVE depth that doesn't happen in a group setting? #anyway. let me stop lol #anti mlvn #elmike #the me tag #stranger things

[rotisseries]

the phenomenon where people will take friend groups/found families in fiction and try to confine them to very specific familial roles/dynamics and all that is so funny cause TO ME the best friend groups are ones where it's almost a polycule

#posts made by a girl who's brain is shipping poisoned maybe but IDC!!! #I think you should be able to take almost any two characters from a friend group and say yeah I think these 2 kissed at least once #this is what was so great about trc like unfortunately i never latched onto it the way so many here did #but that's the reason trc fatally gripped the vulnerable minds of so many 2010s youths!! #it's a series about a lesbian and her friend group of guys who all have some sort of homoerotic toxic polycule thing going on #this is also why some of us (me) will put up with stephen king's various bullshit for the fucking clown movie/novel #like ok there was. those scenes. but he made a friend group of people who are literally all in love with each other. almost canonically

Unfortunately the article's claim that slavery was peripheral to African states has the problem that the abolition of the trade brought Dahomey, Benin, and the Sokoto Caliphate to near economic disintegration:

This article in turn is a good case of decolonization historiography as applied to the Kingdom of Dahomey. While I consider the claim that 'slavery was peripheral to the economies of African states' to be special pleading given the abolition of the slave trade brought Dahomey, Benin, and the Sokoto Caliphate to major weakness that made the conquests in the Scramble a matter of marching and the butcher and burn approach, it does make the point that to understand the decisions of African rulers the focus needs to be on African, not European, understandings of what their goals were.

It might be more easily noted that the African states did not see the dangers in mortgaging so much of their liquid wealth in the forms of slavery and doing little to build up anything more diverse.....but that should be equally put into the context that the European states only saw this *after* the era of mercantilism and the start of capitalism made it clear that a mono-focused economy is a glass dome waiting a good hit from a sledgehammer. The conditions furthering this shift did not apply to Dahomey, which made its bones and its money by exploiting the slave trade in its classical system and in the pattern most familiarly known to modern eyes.

Namely its soldiers, including the Ahosi, rampaged in the interior of Africa dragging poor sorry saps who couldn't run away fast enough by those human chains to ports and avoiding anything done to their *own* people with Oyo a particular favorite of their raids. It is a not entirely dissimilar result to Bolivarianism in Venezuela mortgaging the economy solely to oil....and then OPEC pushed oil prices off a roof and took the Venezuelan economy with it.

Judging Dahomey by its own standards likewise means recognizing that an autocratic society has all the usual brittleness of autocratic societies, including the endemic risks of military putsches that tended to be key parts in how Europeans finally brought African states over the brink of collapse. When the slave trade would implode in the 1830s the prosperity of Dahomey started to creak with it. 50 years later when European power returned with a deadly vengeance it was not strong states they faced outside of cases like Ethiopia or Kanem-Bornu where the slave trades in Western and Central and Eastern Africa were at their height, it was brittle ones devastated by the loss of much of their mobile capital and the ability to replenish supplies of gunpowder and firearms.

#lightdancer comments on history #black history month #african history #military history #kingdom of dahomey #and I'm going to be impolite enough to say it #there is literally no good or defensible system of slavery #even the mamluks who had it easiest of any group of slaves were still enslaved and subject to all that entailed #so claiming African slavery is more moral than European will go over poorly as it deserves to do #I highly doubt the enslaved people whether they were sold to the hellbound ships or not would have agreed they were better off as slaves

ok i did not realize that nine billion people ship five pebbles and seven red suns i thought it was like a few outliars. hello why are there so many of you????

#everywhere i turn i see it in the tags of art posts. hello??? #dont the iterators all consider eachother like. Siblings. like its not just moon #the ancients literally considered themselves as parents to the iterators. like thats said very clearly #i dont know if they consider ALL iterators to be siblings or if they only consider other iterators within their local group to be siblings #but either way moon is still speaking generally when she tells the players the ancients were the iterators parents #like. hello #maybe its not outright said outside of moon and pebs but its still. weird..?????? #i dont wanna start shit im literally just asking. like are people skipping over this info somehow?? or something??? #even if it wasnt weird id still be meh over ships tbh. like shipping is fun! but i dont feel like any of these characters are shippable #anyways please do not come at me im just like. confused #mossball.txt #five pebbles #seven red suns #rain world

For the ship game if you like: Malina

yeah I ship it!

I kind of always shipped it but I started liking it even more when I got in a debate irl about malina vs darkl!na, and realised just how good it was

fav things: the ORPHANAGE, how supportive Mal is of Alina (and ik people don't think he is, but he IS), how they are literally the embodiment of "your partner should also be your best friend", that one line from the show "Mal and I changed the world" which I could scream about for DAYS.... basically I love this ship it's so fucking cute

does shipping malina count as an unpopular opinion? I feel like it kind of does lmao, but my real hot take is that Alina shouldn't have lost her powers at the end of r&r! her ending is perfect APART from that - me and my best friend irl decided that she should have lost only the power from the amplifiers and kept what was hers originally, and honestly that's replaced canon in my mind

#ty for the ask! #sparkling #answered #mayhem.txt #grishaverse #malina #to elaborate on the debate thing: this was so funny bc me and a bunch of my friends do debate at school #and we went to the session one week and the activity was 'in groups of 3‚ pick any topic and do a 3 minute speech about it' #and the other two people in my group were both grishaverse fans so we said 'okay for our topic we need to pick something grishaverse' #and we IMMEDIATELY thought of malina vs darkl!na #one of them asked 'so what do we think' and me and the other girl said at the same time 'malina!' 'darkl!na!' and just Looked at each other #and we did the speeches but the whole point was that we could offer counter arguments by raising our hand during the other person's speech #and it was CHAOS #me and the darkl!na girl were SCREAMING at each other lmao #she went first and i went second + then the third girl went up and said 'okay hear me out. NIKOLINA' #and we just both went '🤷 can't argue with that' #but our teacher was SO CONFUSED about why we were fully SCREAMING at each other #(it's chill we're literally besties and she doesn't ship darkl!na anymore 😭😭) #anyway! fun bit of #mayhem lore

Kpop stans look at idols that have lived together for nearly a decade being genuinely affectionate with each other and scream queerbait and then declare the most cringey ass fanservice and actual ship bait to be evidence of them being gay and supportive of lgbt rights.

#“these two have something going on for sure” #“they have the whole lgbt community supporting them” #and they are the companybassigned ship being shoved into vaguely romantic videos for a massive cashgrab #that's literally just there to sell fuckass overpriced creams and the damned merch just for these 2 is double the price of full group album #but oh no #they are totes real #its not like the company saw an opportunity to exploit the queer market and the deranged unhinged psychotic shippers #and went oh yes let us sell 3 variations of this fuckass useless merch that comes with cardboard pieces and a half empty bottle of cream #no like ya'll know who you are #you know exactly which shippers I am talking about #never EVER interact with me #you give me the actual ICK #your previous fave ship isnt some fucking lgbt queens for faking an entire relationship bullshit for clicks #they aren't doing anything groundbreaking #and let me just say this #none of you shippers give a flying fuck about actual lgbt idols who are struggling in the industry #at all #you only give a shit abiut your fave being gay and fucking the other member you ship them with the rest of the people can rot #to the point that any threat to your real person ship means you start slandering or shitting on this other person #and I genuinely hope you stub your toe every 5 minutes and never find a comfortable sleeping position #oh and for the record #no actual lgbt idol is going to do the kind of bs your fave company assigned ship is doing #you know why? cause its career suicide in a place like that #do you not know what happened to Holland? or Maman? Do you remember what happened to Lady? oh that's right you never cared. nvm

[gregoftom]

some of y’all haven’t grown past the treating queer ppl like shit for liking a ship you don’t take seriously stage and it shows

#i think it’s suuuuuper funny that ppl act like only straight girlies like tg lmaooooo #and they act they r the ONLY ones criticising s4 which is uh. not true lmfao #and yk what it’s ok to feel let down by the fact that s3 finale and 4.01 happened and then took a back burner #ppl acting like tg have no focus whatsoever bffr??? lmao they’re one of the favourites of the show #not even shipping perspective - just their writing and interactions you can find article after article abt them/it #so muc as i fucking hate the term bromance that wouldn’t exist in a billion articles if there was nothing #and i’m gonna say smth radical here - it’s ok to like the show mostly for tg #gasp!!!! cant believe ppl might like snth the most that resonates w them or grips them or inspires them to create art/write #as queer ppl maybe it’s nice to see in such a popular and ‘’’serious’’’ show idk. but you get what i mean #and idk man i’m just getting wae flashbacks to years ago when mlm shippers were treated like abso garbage #*war #and yeah ok there ARE some ppl out there who are shitty i’m sure not that i’ve seen any on here but ok. but like. that’s the same for any #group of ppl lmaoooo #‘’’tg shippers are so annoying!!!’’’ why? bc they express frustration at seemingly loose ends of what looked like a tightly written story #abt charas they like togeyher?? no? ok then why speak your mind #and yk i wouldn’t be so skeeved out if it wasn’t ONLY the tg shippers being targeted like. yk how that looks right #literally ain’t seen shit for any other ship or chara enjoyer tbfh #ppl say they hate greg or tom but don’t come after apologists only talk shit abt shippers lol. so it’s ok if it’s not gay gotcha #you see what i mean??? anyway. #sorry for a rant but holy fuck. it’s worse on twitter than on here but 😬

[mrburnsnuclearpussy]

#all you have to create is something about skinny white men in love and everyone will care about you and them #anything else is just nothing to you ppl lol #what’s the point of trying to be an artist I swear I just wanna give up coz I can’t create enough finished art in general #WHY CANT I DRAW LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS A KID. it felt so easy and now I’m scared to do it for no reason ugh!! #i wish I was interested in the same things as everyone else coz at least then the quality wouldn’t matter and people would care anyway #sorry I know this comes across as really childish and mean and yeh it is I’m just venting #coz sometimes I look at certain popular profiles and stuff and it makes me ache coz I’ll never be a part of the big club where you can feel #love and I’ll never be able to coz I’m just a robot thing with no humanity!!! #even the LITERAL ROBOT is still reduced in the fandom to being shipped like just fuck off all of you #one of my bigger recent passion Roberts is a story and even when I have some motivation and energy I just remember that literally not a sing #single person on earth has any reason to care about it and why should they! so I just feel like crawling into a hole and sulking like a piss #pissbaby which is what I’m doing lol #just because it’s not about young skinny men and the ‘purity/beauty/divinity/superiority of romantic love </3’ and #and YUMMY SQUISHY ORGANIC RED PASSIONATE things because illl never be a part of all of that anyway #I’m not amazing I don’t have the inherent drama and meaningfulness of romantic love in me as a potential so I’m basically nothing #my life means nothing because i can’t feel the one thing that matters #-(one thing that matters according to the world and like all communities and societies and any place to feel like you’re a part of somethin #) #and if your broken (empty of romantic love) like me you’re told to go play by yourself in the corner and not complain that #everyone else gets to be in the group #‘just do your own thing it doesn’t matter what society thinks’ is well meaning and <3 but for me I just hear ‘don’t be a part of us’ #what if I want to be a part of something? what if I want society to know and understand me?

[paintingformike]

it would be a cold day in hell before i, a lesbian, start becoming a staunch defender of a hetship on twitter dot com

#yes this is about queer mlvns on twt sorry theyre just such an interesting group of people to me #i already felt weird about them bc they always downplay how the writing of mleven’s relationship #in relation to will is like. inherently homophobic if they were endgame #it would be a different story if the painting plot didnt turn out the way it did #and its like. you’re literally queer and you don’t know any better? have some shame idk 😭 #but honestly i feel more hostile towards multishippers who like both and always make it seem like either ship being endgame would be fine #no it wouldnt be fine. i can assure you its too late for them to undo certain plot points #and still be able to make mleven endgame without it being ethically weird and disrespectful to will’s character #i keep seeing people say that “as long as they can work out mlvn’s issues” and its like. the damage has already been done. #will’s painting and feelings already became the main propeller to fix their relationship #(or atleast it would turn out that way in a mleven endgame scenario) #they cant turn this back any more. sorry but thats the truth

[ceniwen]

Also when I call the yakshas family it’s less about them actually being family but having a close bond due to the mutual suffering they went through. They do call each other brother/sister but as (asian) honorifics.

#they are found family ig #but my interpretation of found family isn’t like traditional family #found family to me is a very close group of friends who have bonded due to something #so #i don’t ship any of them because i literally dont know their personalities #but i think this has to be said because nuance is basically dead now in fandom #no it is not incest to ship them

[aprofessionalwithoutstandards]

We need to discuss the vagueposting. Ranting about medicpauling is valid and not the issue, however. It's miss p x merc, an older man/young woman, and there's been/are fans into heteronormative and straight up predatory dynamics. Hating it and wanting to avoid it is understandable.

But publicly gossiping on your blog to your followers about shippers' orientations based on the pairing and how they draw Medic, where its active creators on Tumblr cannot be counted on one hand, is not on. There's a difference between describing what demographics are attracted to a ship vs stating the few fanwork creators belong to it.

There were only two people in the tags last year you could be referring to. Assigning people straight vibes or trans vibes or gay vibes assigns stereotypes. It erases identities, and potentially ends with someone having to justify depicting non-het relationships and experiences by outing themselves or proving they're LGBT+ enough. I don't want to go through that, and neither should anyone else.

Literally what the hell are you talking about

#i can't even remember the post ur talking about it must be so old #also if you literally knew anything about me you would know that i talk all the time about m/f ships and have no issue with them lmao #i am VERY open about having had to 'prove i'm lgbt enough' because i am bisexual #the reason i make JOKES abt them is not bc i have some secret plan to call all bi people straight #it is honestly offensive and extremely presumptuous to say something like that about me. you clearly know nothing about me #anyway medicpauling fans give me more shit than literally any other group i have ever interacted with on here #so when i 'vaguepost' next time know it's not bc i hate gay people but because you people send me essays over shit i never said #ask #gee-wozz

[emile-hides]

Behold; EMILE’S BIG LIST OF GUYS

A full, probably not cohesive, list of every random little guy in the Fairy Tail Anime roster that sparked my interest even just a little bit.

Why did I make this list? Because I want to talk about this multitude of freaks so very badly, and the only way I can do that is screaming into a void begging you oh rando on the internet to come ask me about said freaks.

I have headcanons upon headcanons, rewrites upon rewrites, fake lore and just general frothing at the mouth for pretty much everyone pictured in these images.

So do me, a rando on the internet, a solid favor, and send me a guy, any guy, to say words about to the void for my own sanity.

#Fairy Tail #Orginized in 6 smaller images of groups of guys #For convenience #I have Redesigns LGBTQ+ Headcanons Ships Narrative Restructuring General blorbo appreciation #Ask me about a guy I am begging #I've been really enjoying drawing Lily recently he's sketched in the corners of my everything at this point #Ask about A Guy ask about A Group Of Guys Ask me to Draw A Guy I will Draw You A Guy So Fast #I'm thinkin so many thonks you don't UNDERSTAND #I want to focus on the new OW Omnic so badly but brain full of thinkin thonks I can't move on #help me help me I need this so badly #Just to get it out of my system #Also I've mentioned it before but if you wanna request X Readers for literally any of these characters as well #or character x character fics/headcanons #@kakusu-shipping in my ship side blog go there and ask for it I will do it I will do it I promise

[lesbiansanemi]

I love accidentally stumbling across blogs and then reading their bios/insanely long DNIs and thinking to myself “wow you would hate me and my account lol I hope you find it and get mad one day”

#just stumbled across a DNI I was on like eight different times lmfao #yes actually I do support dark fiction and gore #and yes I *do* like like 10 of the ships you claim are irredeemable and morally reprehensible for no reason #and no I do not think you silly little 18yo tumblr user should be telling what groups are and aren’t allowed to say certain slurs????? #idk slur discourse is just dumb as shit in general lol #anyways ppl so obsessed with everything not being ‘problematic’ that they have a DNI that takes like five scrolls to get through..... #you are accomplishing nothing with this other than being mildly entertaining from an outside perspective (not in a good way) #also before someone gets butthurt I do not deliberately seek these ppl out or interact with them just to be a Dick #but I will remark on how dumb I think it is personally lol #OMG ALSO???? it was like ‘if you have literally any kink DNI’ like KFJDJDKSKSKSB WHAT #WHAT sorry I forgot about that one I’m SOBBING #not even ‘nsfw blogs DNI’ or anything like that (which that one I kinda understand) #just.... IF you have even a SINGLE kink as a person do not like my posts #BRUH oh my god #kaz rambles
