I understand that every fictive/kinnie is gonna have ships they aren't okay with and they have the right to vent their discomfort, but sometimes I would also like people to remember that for every fictive/kinnie uncomfortable with a reasonably popular ship, there is also almost always at least ONE fictive/kinnie out there for whom that ship was a reality, and they probably already feel uncomfortable enough in that situation without doubles calling all its shippers sick freaks or w/e

what is your zelda notp and why? Is there another zelink you love besides oot zelink?

Hello anon!

Uuuh well... There's only one ship that I don't like in Zelda franchise and it's Malink, not bc the ship is bad, bc the fandom ruined it to me.

Ok this will be too long but here goes: I am a baby in this fandom I have only started loving the franchise for 4 months so there are things that I still need to understand. My first Zelda was BOTW, so I had no idea about the plot of OOT BUT I remember that in forums and facebook groups people mentioned that there was a canonical ship in that game confirmed by Nintendo, at first I believed that, of course that ship was Link x Malon. I didn't know who Malon was until I saw some Uzucake fanart and thought "well maybe she's a close friend of Link and they have a nice development!" I remember I asked a friend and he told me it wasn't true, so I was very confused!! Then I played the game and realized they were just friends? She couldn't remember him 7 years later until you played Epona's song and only then she remember him, which leads me to think that they didn't have such a close friendship. Then I read the famous theory, the first time I read it it made some sense but then I started to think "how are they canon if in the game they barely even interacted??" then I drew my own conclusions and investigated a little deeper. I realized that theory didn't make sense. And look, it's perfectly fine for everyone to have their own headcanons about their favorite ships, but the problem lies when you take that headcanon as canon and force others to believe it. I started to dislike that ship because when I was looking for OOT Zelink fanarts on Twitter and Facebook, there ALWAYS were comments saying that Malon was his real wife, there were comments from people comparing Malon and Zelda, I even saw insults towards the works of the artists who drew OOT Zelink WHICH IS DISRESPECTFUL. I'm talking to you about recent times, the fandom has changed, the popularity of ships has changed, what happens now is not the same as what happened in the early 2000s or 2010s. I feel like... Malink became "popular" among the problematic community of the Zelda fandom due to this theory that over the years they have taken for granted that it's canon and that many people who support that theory are the same people who hate Oot Zelda. You'll be surprised how many videos on YouTube there are about this topic and how many people support it (at least on the western side the ship became very popular). Of course there are nice people who don't behave like that, I'm just speaking from my experiences. I prefer malink as buddies, I enjoy fanfics where Malon and Zelda are besties:(

Also yes! I support all Zelinks but here's my top 3 :

OOT Zelink

BOTW/TOTK Zelink

SS Zelink

uhm… why do u ship a human with a pig? (˘•‿•) is it morally okay? /gen cuz i’ve also seen this girl on tiktok who ships herself with spiderham! idk if u know her, shes “luvtrooxhiz”. i didn’t wanna ask her cuz im super shy…but i just figured to ask u since ur a spiderham blog XD

hihi !! i hope this is a good response for ya, im not an expert on anything ever, but ive been ran back and forth through the internet's laundry through years

apologies for misspellings on last slide :((! as for the user in question, ive seen her around and think her stuff is super killer, but last time i checked she's not too keen on hamnoir and would rather not interact, which is entirely valid <3

again, tysm for asking me though, i appreciate relaxed discussion ^^

PSA

If you are having a knee-jerk reaction to hate Tech/Phee. Take a moment to introspect and figure out WHY you are having this reaction.

If you’re upset about Tech/Phee because you think there shouldn’t be romance in TBB. Ok sure. Whatever. I don’t understand your reasoning but you’re allowed to have this opinion. Fine.

If you’re upset about Tech/Phee because you have created (subconscious or consciously) a pseudo-romantic relationship with a fictional character. (Not a crush, not simple self-shipping) that is so insidious you feel genuine hate for another fictional character. Like. To the point it is impacting your day to day life. Seek help.

If you are upset about Tech/Phee because Phee is a black woman, and you are unwilling to address and unpack that internalised racism (like a grown fucking adult) block me and grow the fuck up.

Hello Tumblr.

This post is aimed specifically at the Hazbin Hotel fandom, but also applies in any other related cases.

Aromanticism and asexuality are a spectrum, and, as an aromatic asexual person on said spectrum, I’m tired of that being ignored.

I understand that aroace representation is scarce, and it can be frustrating when an aromatic asexual character is shipped constantly, but I implore the the sex and/or romance repulsed aromantic asexuals to remember that the identities of non-sex/romance repulsed aroaces are just as valid as your own.

Aromantic asexuals can have relationships. In addition to myself, I have seen many frustrated aroaces talk about how there is an expectation that they cannot date. This idea is harmful, and by perpetuating this idea you are doing just as much damage as someone who ignores an aroace character’s identity outright. Please, consider your fellow aroaces when you speak about shipping.

In addition to this, I want to add that no one is forcing you to consume ship content. If you don’t like a ship, it is best not to interact with it. If you’re worried about seeing it, most platforms have the ability to block or ignore certain tags. Many of you do not seem familiar with the “don’t like? Don’t read” concept, so allow me to explain it. People have a right to enjoy fictional content as they please. It is not your place to tell them what they can and cannot enjoy. You are not the center of the universe, so not all content will be curated to your liking. If you don’t like something, then ignore it. This is a very simple concept.

It has never been a crime to represent fictional character in an inaccurate way, and it never will be. Unless someone ships something harmful that normalizes highly criminal and immoral behavior, it is simply not your business.

Have you ever just started shipping two old men, one demon and a hunter. Who has canonically kissed with tongue. That are characters who both died in a show that ended 2 years ago with the worst finale you have ever seen and then start questioning your life choices?

So this is crobby

This generation can't consume media.

I say this as a part of this very generation. To me, media and specifically fiction, is all about the imagination and fantasy that comes with it, I see so many folks nowadays calling the most minor things "toxic" or even dangerous sometimes.

I will use shipping communities and villains as prime examples; I'm sorry but liking a non-canon pair that aren't super nice to eachother or being a fan of a villain doesn't make me or others DANGEROUS people in the community. It's genuinely such a childish mindset, I couldn't care less about disliking stuff but underlining people for such petty reasons is pathetic.

I've seen people get called terrible names and get accused of real life crimes because they like a villain. I don't care what the villain did, if it's not real, it doesn't define what these actual people think and believe.

I personally don't like Hisoka from HxH, he makes me uncomfortable but does that mean his fans are terrible people? No, it doesn't because he isn't a real figure that they support. And I can say this about so many other characters.

Shows, books, comics, games and any form of fiction is straight up boring if we're always supposed to like the good and morally correct characters or dynamics.

It's so frustrating to enjoy things nowadays when everyone is holding up a knife to your throat because you happen to like a morally wrong- or sometimes just morally ambiguous- character. Let people enjoy things. If somethings not for you, stay away from it, instead of feeding into it with the most childish argument to exist.

eddie kaspbrak shouldn't always be connected to richie tozier. reddie is a nice ship and i think it's cute but unfortunately it not only has been set as a focal point in the fandom but also has twinkified eddie. it makes me so sad to see this perfect, poetic, brave boy watered down into nothing but one half of a relationship.

Setup and Payoff

Dear Rookie writers: <clenches fist, looks out longingly onto a field of continuity> Look. I get it. You had to execute the ship. You were moved to an earlier time slot, so less risqué content. You tonally shifted to a comedy. Covid fucked your timeline, etc etc etc. FINE. I give you all of that.

But for the love of all that is good and holy can you PLEASE WRITE NORMAL FUCKING STORYLINES THAT MAKE SENSE.

Screenwriting is simple. Setup. Payoff. Like, for example:

— setup: show actively sets up friend ribbing friend about a coworker crush/romance. The PAYOFF would be said friend loses their shit when the coworkers actually get together (examples: Boyle in B99, Jacob in Abbott Elementary, Michael Scott in the Office, Schmidt for Nick and Jess in New Girl).

— setup: show actively sets up consequences to office / coworkers finding out about secret romance. PAYOFF: actual work consequences happen (ie, Ben and Lesley break up in parks and rec).

— setup: characters CONFESS THEIR FEELINGS to OTHER CHARACTERS in an ensemble cast so that the audience knows there are actual emotional stakes. PAYOFF: we get emotional insights and CLEAR emotional STAKES. (Ie, B99, Parks & Rec, New Girl, The Mindy Project).

— setup: you have two characters who want to be together but can’t due to [insert obstacles]. Unresolved tension continues to rise until characters can be together. (Ie, Castle, X Files, Alias, ER, Buffy, Once Upon a Time).

Every single move the Rookie has made this year has deflated each setup like a fucking pin in a balloon. — Lopez ribs Bradford about Lucy and in the end neither supposed bff brings up the romance again, save Lopez over some dumb radio message? (And we never get some confessional from Lucy to Nyla or anyone about how she pined for Tim in UC school, and all we get is some throwaway “*That* Bradford” one-liner?)

— Season One of Talia warning Lucy re: Nolan so they break up, to Seasons 2-4 of Lucy being a subordinate to Tim so nothing can happen, to Grey warning them about office romances, and in the end, we get ZERO reactions from any characters that they’re together and ZERO consequences to the relationship other than some mild Post-It wrangling?

— The unresolved tension that starts off with a bang in S1, ratchets up in S2 and complicates itself S3 and S4, never ACTUALLY gets addressed by Tim or Lucy confessing their actual feelings to each other? Just suddenly “if we do this” to “our kids will be xyz” in a few episodes?

I JUST DONT GET IT. I DONT UNDERSTAND setting up a storyline that could be SO FULL of juicy confessions, angst, longing, pining and just maybe ONE LITTLE SEXY SCENE FFS only to turn it into the MOST bland and milquetoast ship. I KNOW these characters can do hot and sassy and argumentative because we’ve seen it. They can definitely to angsty. But this whole we’re-going-to-dial -down-every-emotional-payoff-to-a-mild-5….like….to what end, writers? TO WHAT END?
