Three Ships

Instead of exact ships - here are my favorite genres of ships.

Doomed Ships.

I love melodramatic love / that’s impossible, that is destined to fail, that absolutely will never happen but it doesn’t matter to either of them cause they can’t stop loving each other. Even through heartbreak. Even as it gets harder and harder. Even if it kills. Cause they will find a way to be close to each other - to see each other - to pine or touch or just breath the same air.

Prime examples: Six Flying Dragons. Chicago Typewriter. English Patient. Mood Indigo. Brokeback Mountain. Free Fall. Wuthering Heights. My Mister. No Regret. Call me by Your Name. Warrior Baek Dong Su. Your Name Engraved Therein. Devil Judge.

Fate is Against It but Here We Are.

You know the stories. Two young loves are separated by fate or circumstances and reunite later. My father killed your parents. Our families hate each other. I have sworn revenge against you or your family… our parents got married… I was hired to kill you. Oh the feeeeeeels are here so fate be damned!

Prime Examples: Shark/Don’t look back, Come & Hug Me, Addicted, Bad Buddy, Long Time No See. KinnPorsche. Uncontrollably Fond. Angel Eyes.

Unreasonable Devotion.

I will die for you. I will kill for you. You are my entire world and nothing exists outside of you. I have spent my life focusing on you and you alone. This is quite possibly my all time favorite trope. The madness of obsession. The unbearable romance of it.

Prime Examples: Queen Seon Duk, My Beautiful Man, Addicted, We Best Love, history1: obsessed, Healer, Hello Monster, Will it Snow for Christmas?, Love in the Air, Werewolf Boy

First Ever Ship

A poly-romance for King Arthur, guinevere, and Lancelot. Though I did not recognize it as such at the time. I watched the 1967 movie musical Camelot at my grandmothers house when I was a kid… and absolutely pined over the sweet and endearing King… and his horny wife… and his noble, dumb knight Lancelot. The king loved them both. I loved them all. I wanted them all to stay together forever.

Same situation happened again with the trio in The King Loves! Just… stay together, all of you, and be happy!

Last Song

NCT 127 - Lemonade (working on a dumb fan vid for it so I’ve been listening on repeat)

Last Movie

It’s been a bit… uhm… Alienoid, I think.

Currently Reading

Hail Mary by Andy Weir - ugh the science hurts my brain but I’m in love with the musical space spider rock alien so… nearly finished it. Just finished Fevered Star (not as good as Black Sun but not bad). Up next… Fairy Tale by Stephen King or Weaveworld by Clive Barker.

Currently Watching

Shadow & Bone: Season 2, He is Psychometric, kokdu, the end of the world with you

Currently Consuming

whatever I want. Currently a slightly over ripe dragon fruit and some Singapore Tea.

Currently Craving

I dunno… an alien abduction? A robotic housemate? A talking plant? A close friend irl. My friends have all moved away and I am starting to forget what it’s like to enjoy someone’s company.

Wanna play? If you haven’t done this one already.

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

#text #fandom #aro #ace #aroace #aromantic #asexual #this became extremely obvious with Encanto - where the main message of the movie was ignored #and people were so desperate for shipping they started shipping background characters or even the family members....eugh #like at some point you must understand your inability to interact with media outside of a narrow romantic scope is an actual problem #at some point you need to accept you don't ACTUALLY like the media you're interacting with #like genuinely can you say anything else that you like about a piece of media besides the fact you want two characters to kiss? #genuinely i do believe the way some of you interact with things needs to change because it's made fandom spaces literally unbearable #also it has severely limited some of your guy's critical thinking skills #if you want content based around shipping then look at the romance genre it's literally right there for this very reason #shipping just needs to stop dominating fandom discussions and interactions. shipping should not be the main focus of every genre ever ffs #that or y'all need to literally start tagging your shit so that people can actually block it out and find the posts that they want to see

the great irony of early one piece antagonists believing zoro was the actual captain and using luffy as a puppet ... oda really threw us a bone and curb-stomped it right in our faces. yes, zoro could be a captain in his own right. yes, zoro could match luffy in strength. yes, zoro knows this perfectly well. and you know what? he chose luffy two years ago, and he will continue to choose luffy again and again. roronoa zoro, the pirate hunter, who followed a wannabe pirate with a nonexistent crew on a whim because luffy brought him his swords and made a half-assed attempt at a bargain. zoro, who made a vow to never lose again on both his and luffy's honor. zoro, who told luffy he'd make him commit harakiri if he got in the way of zoro's goal, only to turn around and be willing to sacrifice his dream if it means that luffy reaches his. zoro, who stood in place and took luffy's pain and told a warlord to take his head instead of luffy's, who got down on his knees before his supposed rival and begged mihawk to mentor him so that he could return strong enough to protect his captain. zoro, who has conqueror's haki- a natural born leader- but chooses to stay at the right hand of a man he has deemed greater than himself.

and the thing that luffy fears most? being alone. being rejected. being left behind. and what should have been his foil- the pirate hunter to his pirate king, the nonbeliever to his divine, the king of hell to his sun god- instead becomes his first and most devout follower; the one who demands to follow him to hell and back. oughhhggg i'm sick to my stomach

#one piece #roronoa zoro #monkey d luffy #zolu #what the hell is wrong with him #the very definition of becoming bewitched body and soul #do you get me #luffy is zoro's helen of troy #in that #he'd launch a thousand ships to put a smile on luffy's face #i need to crack open that mossy green head of his and see what's going on inside #has anyone told oda that he could possibly be cooking one of the greatest love stories the shounen genre has ever seen #one piece is a 26 year long ongoing slowburn #luffy: it's rotten work!!! ^_^ #zoro: yeah i fuckin know but god what does it matter. it's for you #pls dont tag as platonic lmao

How did Treasure Planet manage to come up with the greatest aesthetic in all human history? Victorian elegance plus space-age flair, with just enough dirt and grime and wear and tear to make it feel real? A combination of traditional and computer animation that perfectly embodies the movie's blend of old and futuristic? How does it get any better than that?

#treasure planet #turned it on on a whim #because sylvia's lovers put me in the mood for sailing ship vibes #and it turns out it fits in really well with the north and south space opera i've been thinking about again #it's really hard for me not to give thornton a giant beautiful space sailing ship #(no you can't do it! the point is that they're industrial and purely functional!) #also i've got another post brewing about how treasure planet is an excellent boy's adventure coming-of-age story #and we need more of those because i feel like the genre doesn't exist in the same way these days #but i'm not sure i could say what i mean without getting folks up in arms #so i'm keeping it to the tags

"augh, this [media] sucks. it's all about shipping"

romance is a genre, harold

#this is the funniest thing that i keep seeing #im hardly mad at it honestly it's just funny at this point #like sometimes i'll see people criticize shows that used to be plot-based that in later seasons turned into just romantic drama #and i get that can be frustrating. but if a show has been ''about shipping'' since the pilot then maybe it's just the genre #this is like the funniest and most mundane version of dead dove #imagine explaining to a boomer or something that a show sucks because ''it's about shipping'' and then having to define shipping for them #and they look at you and say ''you... you mean like.... a romcom?''. how would you recover from that. what would you say

I have a thing for ships where the characters absolutely hate eachother and want to kill eachother. Like they despise the other character so much it turns into love. They want to tear the organs of the other characters out and devour them, then stab them 84 times and gouge their eyeballs out. But they are in love.

#hoffstrahm #coffinshipping #lynnmanda #shotgunshipping #chainshipping #hannigram #stuilly #Lawlight #my personal favs #its a certain genre of ship #and i go feral over it #EVERY TIME #maybe im just batshit crazy #ship dynamics #enemies to lovers #maybe? #but more intense #and bloody

[wired-heartbeats]

I think self shippers are allowed to have complicated-ass relationships with their F/Os, like yeah we love the lovey-dovey sweet flustering stuff, but also some of us go nuts for a good case of

‘we want to and probably have practically strangled each other but also you’re my soulmate and fate has intrinsically tied us together and I would protect you and fight for you in any given universe but also you’re an actual dumbass and I will tell you so and if we ever go down it’s going to be by the others hand’

Or other related variations, I think it’s great to go hogwild and not all F/O relationships stop at Romantic or Platonic or Familial, the dynamics are endless and can be so fun to play with and navigate

#maybe I’m just really obsessed with the yearning/slow burn/self-fulfilling tragedy/mutual bond for better or for worse #but it really boils down to. there is love there. there has always been love here. and we both have to live with this #also the dynamics you can up with are like. playing 52 card pickup with fanfic tags #it’s FUN and works with most genres of ship situations. angst tragedy comedy romcom enemies to lovers lovers to exs to enemies #it’s also fantastic for aus but also tends to happen with fos you’ve had for a while or that are on the edge of definable #ALSO fos that deal with like the multiverse/multiple timelines !! #cats chatterbox #52 tag pickup seems like a fun self ship ask game but I dunno how it’d work but if someone wants to do that go for it! could be fun ehehehe #self ship #self shipping community #self ship community #self ship stuff #is this anything. do y’all hear me

call me a basic white bitch for this but the first stanza of bury a firend by billie eilish fits so well with early regicide. like cmon you cannot tell me that doesn't fit with artificer being confused about sk's friendliness. plus the last line ("when we all fall asleep, where do we go?") could be something to do with her massacre and the fact that the scavs she killed are still in the cycle

HELLO?? THIS IS SO PERFECT ACTUALLY??? i was not familiar with this song, so i youtubed it, and.... the creepy ominous atmosphere, the quiet intensity... ? it feels like one of arti's nightmares, where she's just finally reaching her breaking point. her rage toward scavengers has burned out, and she has no hatred left for anyone but herself. she's tired of fighting , but she can't stop. she wants to accept SK's mercy but she just doesn't know how. she's too broken to be worth fixing, and she's scared and confused and frustrated at him for still trying.

"bury the hatchet or bury a friend".... that is literally the choice he keeps giving her, isn't it?

#rain world #rw shipping #rw regicide #artificer #scavenger king #artificer redemption au #my autistic ass has been trying to make a regicide playlist for months #but ive just been sleeping on the whole basic white bitch genre apparently
