The Nuzi Hate Is Ridiculous And Just Saddening/Defending Nuzi.

Alright, so...let me just start off saying that this'll be the last time I'm going to discuss anything drama related, especially what goes on in the Murder Drones Community. Honestly, at least over here on Tumblr, the fandom isn't that bad and awful and is not that much of a trainwreck as it is over on the toxic bird site, but this is something that just NEEDS to be discussed in general. This situation and just the insane amount of drama and fighting that's been happening with the MD fandom lately has honestly been tiring and has taken a toll on me. it honestly has, if I'm gonna be honest, it's been draining and I just don't wanna talk and deal with this anymore. I just wanna move on from this situation and continue obsessing over and watching my favorite robot show and not deal with any of this unnecessary and childish drama anymore!

Anyways, for those who don't know, there's been a lot of arguing and fighting in the Murder Drones fandom as of lately, at least on over on Twitter, but it's been happening over on things like Tik Tok, even YouTube and it isn't uncommon exactly, but it is something that's gotten worse in as the show continues to grow in popularity. The main discussion and arguments when it comes to shipping in the Murder Drones fandom are between Envy (N X V) and Nuzi (N X Uzi) there's other ships in the fandom people like, but Envy and Nuzi are two of the most popular ones and the ones who are often the topics when it comes to shipping wars. I've already discussed and talked about the craziness and drama that's been happening with the fandom with some fans harassing and going after the VA's, people getting on them for their opinions, trying to switch things around to fulfill their egos, ect. But, the main thing I'm going to be talking about with today's topic is Nuzi and the amount of unnecessary hate it's gotten and how I think it's unfair, because it's seriously gotten worse and worse. And if you don't know what the ship Nuzi is and aren't very familiar with the ship or MD itself as a whole, basically, Nuzi is the pairing between Serial Designation N and Uzi Doorman from Murder Drones, who are two of our main characters in the show. Now, people have been shipping these two since the pilot and have enjoyed their interactions and at first in the beginning of the show it seems the show was hinting at the two being just good friends but as time went on, the show started to develop and explore the two and things started to change and the show has started hinting at both N and Uzi starting an eventual romance down the line and hinting at some romantic tension going between them. Now with Uzi, it seems she's definitely starting to fall in love with N and gaining feelings for him, but she seems to downside her crush on him and it's pretty one-sided since meanwhile with N and his side of things, he seems clueless and isn't aware of Uzi's feelings and it seems that he only sees Uzi as a friend and nothing more beyond that and the show hasn't hinted on how N feels about Uzi right now..of course, it's too early to tell for where the relationship between these two will go and it's too early to have N and Uzi fall in love and start an relationship but there is potential and room for them to start a relationship eventually, there's room to dive more into their dynamic and relationship and potential to have a good romance between the two.

Now, as I've stated..Nuzi has gotten an extreme amount of hate lately, some misinformation and rumors have been spread around in the fandom to the point it's caused people to start attacking others who are fans/love the ship and started going after and harassing fans who make fanart of the two, anits and especially diehard shippers of both Envy and Thuzi, (but it's mostly Envy shippers) keep on throwing around and saying the excuses on how Nuzi is a "P*oship" and how N is an adult and Uzi is a minor and how they're siblings, or say how, "Uzi has a crush on Thad!" "N has a crush on V and even admitted it!!" And they'll just use EVERY excuse in the book..they'll turn shit around and do whatever they can to make people feel bad and shitty for simply even adoring and liking Nuzi and finding it cute, hell it's even gotten to the point where some fans started going after others for liking other ships in the fandom like Vizzy/Pink Lemonade, and just any ships involving WD X DD. I'm not kidding, I've seen fans and others argue that Nuzi wouldn't work out because both N and Uzi are different robot species and how on N has killed and slaughtered Uzi's people. Apparently because both N and Uzi can't make a good pairing because they're apparently, "boring and uninteresting" and one is a WD and the other is a DD, but because both V and N are DD's and because they knew each other in the past that automatically means something..? Seriously?? I'm not joking when I say some of these fans are downright ridiculous and childish, they'll do whatever they can to stop people from liking ships like Nuzi and shame people for even enjoying it and make childish hate posts on said ship constantly, and it's overall just so hurtful and ridiculous, Dude. And it's people like them that make this fandom look awful and downright toxic, it's people like them that make others think that everyone in the fandom is like this when that's far from the truth!

I'm honestly really sick and tired of how this fandom mistreats and bullies other people just for simply liking different ships, people have stated that they feel hurt and feel like they can't like certain ships without them being attacked and shitted on, they feel like they can't like something they enjoy without others dragging them down and being hated on. It's ridiculous how some of these fans see Nuzi as the most awful and horrendous ever made and it needs to be forgotten forever. It's ridiculous and laughable how some of these people point out and rant on how much they hate Nuzi, only to make it the only thing they talk about and mention 24/7, some of these people literally just whine and complain about how they're not a fan of said ship. I mean, it's totally fine and okay to not like certain ships and you don't have to love and enjoy the same things as others do, but you don't need to make hate posts all the time and bash others for finding comfort and liking the ship they like, you don't need to make rants 24/7 on how you despite said ship..it just makes you look so damn childish and just unbearable, like okay..you're not a fan of certain ships, okay? JUST MOVE ON!! WE GET IT, just stop harassing and making us feel like shit and horrible people, stop making us feel terrible for loving Nuzi, just move on and just don't interact with us if it bothers some of you so damn much. I mean, it's gotten so bad that some have left the MD fandom because of the toxicity and childish behavior from some of these fans. Just please stop and be nice to one another, it's not right how some of you will harass and do whatever you can to make people feel shitty for enjoying what they love and trying to paint them out as these awful individuals. Like seriously, I just cannot stand shipping wars and I really despise them, shipping wars are such a waste of time and are just an excuse to harass and cause unnecessary drama and it just results with people getting hurt. And I've said this many times before and I'm gonna say it again, shipping shouldn't be the ONLY thing to focus on when watching and getting into any piece of media. There's much more to love and look forward to, there's more to appreciate and shows have more to offer than just ships, SHIPPING AIN'T EVERYTHING.

One more thing I'm gonna add and talk about before we finish up is that..I don't even understand and get the hate Nuzi has received, I mean I'm fine and totally alright with people seeing them as friends and respect their opinions. But, what's with some of these people just disliking and harassing people for seeing the two more than just friends and wanting them to be something more? I've seen people argue and say that it's either too cliche and just call both Uzi and N, Starco 2.0. And it's just ridiculous how some of these fans and antis act whenever there's moments with Uzi and N together or when the show is hinting at a possibility of the two being an item someday. Is this seriously how these toxic fans are gonna act whenever Nuzi have any moments together?? Whether it's romantic or not? It just seems the idea of Uzi and N being something more just burns these fans up inside and just frustrates them to the core. Nuzi ISN'T what you guys think it is and it's more than that, nothing is being rushed and forced and nothing is being written poorly between them either, and they AREN'T another Starco. Also, Nuzi isn't just here for fanservice, these moments we've gotten with Uzi and N were already planned out and worked on, MD has been in the works and in production since about 2020, wayyy before the show even came out and before the fandom was even a thing. Uzi and N were already planned and hinted at being something more and having something special between them, they were always meant to have something deeper and important and the show seems to be going the route in wanting to develop further into Uzi and N's dynamic and their relationship as a whole. The scenes we've gotten for Uzi and N have always been planned out and if Nuzi happens and becomes a thing in the series, it's because Liam wants it to be and planned it that way, NOT BECAUSE OF FANSERVICE!! It's fine if you're not a fan of the pairing and just don't find any interest in it, you can love and like what you want. But please stop acting like it's a big deal and something to get angry about, because it's not..it's not worth it. It's not worth throwing tantrums and acting over the top about, just move on and ignore.

Anyways, this is all I've wanted to talk about when it comes to this Nuzi hate and the drama that surrounds the ship when it comes to the fandom, I've just wanted to give my thoughts. Also, everyone in the Murder Drones Community, just PLEASE be nice and kind to one another and respect each other's opinions. ♥️ You guys are better than this and getting into arguments and shipping wars aren't worth it and are just plain silly, doing any of this just results in people being hurt and affected, getting into shipping wars aren't worth it and they're are better things to do. Please, be nice to each other and if you aren't a fan of certain ships in the show then that's fine and alright. Just move on and scroll away and respect other's feelings and opinions, you don't have to like a ship that's popular or what many seem to like! Just don't be a dick and treat others like crap and make hate posts just because you're not a fan of said ship, just please move on and keep moving forward! Plain and simple, just ignore and move on with your day, mistreating and hurting others just isn't worth it.

dinluke wedding would be so crazy… you’d have ahsoka and bo being divorced in one corner, han and boba trying they’re best not to fight each other at their best friends’ wedding in another corner, forced ghost shenanigans where all the mandos in attendance wonder why luke (and ahsoka) are talking to a wall, han makes a joke about mando sex earning him a death glare from leia

#AND EVERYONE LOVES GROGU!! #and they look at luke like does this me you’re a dad now? #would din’s fam be sus of luke? #i think a few of them would be but the armorer likes him so they just suck it up lol #also what is the ship name for ahsoka and bo katan? #bosoka #i’ve seen that #ahsokatan is underrated tho… looks like ahsoka’s full name but wtvr #dinluke #star wars #otp

its usually not that big of a deal to ship something other than what is canon but genuinely if u care about makorra and prefer it to korrasami in 2024 you're homophobic like theres no getting around that one like this simply is not about ship wars you NEED to get a grip

#yes posting about this at all contributes to the existence of tlok ship wars in 2024 #but the fandomization of relationships as a concept at all sucks so bad #like damn the show explicitly told you that this relationship doesn’t work and then made media history and you’re like ‘awwww but’ #like shut the hell up

If you accuse real human people of being homophobic bc they don’t ship the two fictional white men that you do, you have empty space where your brain should be.

#like…. ever #unless they say something objectively homophobic about the idea of the two male characters being together #and no ‘he’s not gay’ isn’t objectively homophobic you heathens #also if you’re talking about a large entity like a team of writers or a corporation or a film company or tv channel or whatever #then yeah you can make the argument that those are homophobic #but like…. if it’s just some random people on the internet saying your ship sucks and they don’t think it’s canon #then yeah #grow up and stop trying to make your dumb lil fandom wars into real world issues #fandom wank #gonna go ahead and tag this as #johnlock #and #destiel #and also #lokius #cause y’all kids need to see it 😒 #anti johnlock #anti destiel #anti lokius #homophobia in fandom

The new Kenobi show really helped to spark my old enjoyment of Star Wars (as casual a fan as I am loll), especially when it came to Obi-wan and Anakin/Vader’s dynamic! The hurt and angst is chef’s kiss imo XDDD

So, continuing on from my medieval redesigns for Luke and Leia, here are the start of my designs for Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan! Anakin’s in his Dark Side mode; Padmé is ... Well, I’ll try to come up with some beautiful queen dresses to at least reach the prequels’ level loll; and I gave Obi-Wan a braid so that I could use that trope(?) of a close companion braiding it in order to show affection -- yep, that’d be Anakin XDDD And I just think Obi-Wan looks great with long, braided hair! :DDD

#note that I'm not trying to draw the movie actors #it's hard for me to capture someone's likeness so i usually just redesign them completely #plus it's more interesting and investing for me as opposed to drawing the same movie design over and over ^^;;; #art #my art #star wars #star wars fanart #star wars prequels #revenge of the sith #anakin skywalker #padme amidala #obi wan kenobi #portraits #character design #character concept #sorry farseer i'm jumping ship to star wars now lmaoo #for my farseer followers: i legit got stuck at the start of liveship #admittedly i shot myself in the foot cuz knowing that fitz and burrich aren't in there sucked the interest out of me #if it keeps up i might as well just move on to tawny man and save liveship for another day

And what if I said Lesbian flag color picked from pictures of Mon Mothma and Asajj Ventress. Would my crack ship sound implausible then.

#daily asajj thought of the day #what the fuck. what the actual fuck am i doing. #99% sure i'm the first person to create ship art of these two #if anything #i'll post it when i won't feel like it fucking sucks but it exists #this was more difficult than it looks btw #still wondering why i did it tho #sw #star wars #asajj ventress #ventress #mon mothma #need to find a name for them #yeah no i don't have any ideas for it #still sighing smh at myself what led me here #star wars lesbians

Man ty for popping up on my dashboard. I miss voltron, but whenever I try to check what's up I get reaaally bad flashbacks as to how the fandom was. It's kinda worse when u accidentally triggered a community of a popular ship (its not kl@nce) :')))) hnghjgn idk how u do it

voltron is just. such a funny phenomenon. the show was like a C+ at BEST but we all stuck around anyway clinging to the hope that things would eventually improve and then they NEVER did. & so we all had to make do with literal scraps and we were RESOURCEFUL!!! 😭 I have honestly never seen a fandom where the fan content was so divorced from the actual source material like 💀💀💀 and i think this scarcity of good content forced people to be extra creative, which is why the voltron fandom was 1) so genuinely hilarious and 2) full of content producing MACHINES

Literally all we could do was just talk to each other. we were forced to survive off each other’s kindness & it made everyone super co-dependent. it really was a bunch of high schoolers forming parasocial relationships with other high schoolers; of course it got messy!!

also this is such a minor detail in the grand scheme of things but voltron hit tumblr at like the exact time social media became more accessible to people under 13 years old. and like. conflict and discourse is an inevitable part of fandom. but the end result was we had college students picking fights with LITERAL middle schoolers. and I genuinely cannot believe we all thought this was normal behavior!!!!!

#I genuinely get sad when I hear people talk about how voltron caused them so much stress. and then they mention that they’re not even 18 yet #like… wow #god I hope emma does not become an active and involved member of a fandom it’s just. it’s not very moderated. #also people often trivialize voltron’s messiness down to ‘ship wars’ and they were ship wars. but there was a very moralized element to it. #and people were heavily invested in fighting over this. not just because muh ships but people were also very much coming at this #from a place of personal trauma or experience. and in hindsight were just retraumatizing themselves. #ugh. idk fandom kind of sucks. but tumblr in 2012-2015 was such a fun time for me & it was a formative experience #and then I hear people say that voltron turned them off from fandom forever when they were 14 and I go :( #sigh. I’m very tired and on mobile where I can’t really see or edit my tags lol so I apologize for the mess #anyway to answer your last question anon I think that people who were 16+ in 2016 (like me) #had an easier time coping with voltron during + after simply by virtue of having been alive a little longer and therefore #having had more time to establish a solid sense of self/identity. if that makes sense. #ask #anonymous

Some people need to learn about respecting other people’s ships regardless if they like them or not.

I mean this with utter sincerity the way BOTH Portwell and Rina shippers treat each other is wild. Like damn, y’all really can’t just let people enjoy ships??

I love Rina but I 100% think Portwell was handled poorly in s3. Regardless of if they were “meant” to end or not, they should’ve gotten better treatment.

Some Portwell shippers will literally take any chance to say that Rina is dumb or any other negative descriptor. Because their ship didn’t work out. Say we’re delusional or that Rina doesn’t have any chemistry which just isn’t true.

But some Rina shippers refuse to acknowledge that Portwell was built up in s2 in a pretty adorable way. And cheer and mock Portwell shippers for being upset that something they like didn’t work out. That they’re delusional because they thought it would last longer.

(This is obviously not every shipper in the fandom but unfortunately these posts are loud and excessive)

I’m for healthy debates about why one ship works and another one doesn’t. But that’s not what’s going on here. What is happening are childish and rude posts that are single-handedly making this fandom awful to be in. Like just have some basic respect for other people.

Enjoy your ship but don’t drag down others for having a different one. A basic concept, but one I think some people still haven’t learned.

#I feel bad for the people who don’t even ship Rina and Portwell like how do y’all cope? #I have been through too many toxic fandom ship wars can you tell? #hsmtmts #rina #portwell #this is just scratching the surface but I don’t have the energy to deal with more than this #this is both on Twitter and Tumblr so don’t start with the nonsense of one platform is worse than the other #in regards to this show #twitter in general sucks

my favourite irony of the current shipping discussion is the folks who allege WolfWren enjoyers sent “threats” to people who enjoy cishet ships (I have asked for ANY examples or usernames of anyone doing this multiple times), have also been calling for Filoni to suffer & die if he doesn’t make their ship canon. but don’t forget, it’s definitely the sapphics and queers who like WolfWren that are the problem

#queer nbs & women get harassed for MONTHS by sabezra stans: [complete silence & all the major sabezra blogs still interact with those folks] #wolfwren gets a little love from the cast: “UMMM ACTUALLY THIS SHIP WAR IS SO TOXIC NOW AND THE WOLFWRENS ARE THE PEOPLE THREATENING OTHERS #are there wolfwren fans that suck? probably. & if you would like us to do something about it please give us examples and show us who #so we can make sure we aren’t supporting ANYONE sending threats and hate. #I’ve even seen wolfwren shippers giving sabezra shippers advice on blocking IPs + turning on stronger privacy settings #but where the fuck were Sabezra shippers when other Sabezra stans were talking about rape + murder + abuse in queer peoples posts? #I have about more than 20 examples of disgusting vile HATE (actual hate & not “haha RIP this ship) that I’ve been directly sent #multiple wolfwren fic writers have had to turn off their comments on fics because of homophobic hate #artists have been getting dumb shitty homophobic comments on their wolfwren art with “gay garbage!!! Sabezra of life!!!” #and I’m not seeing anyone calling out sabezras as a whole for being bad toxic people (which no one should because they aren’t) #do you understand & feel the hypocrisy now? #I have no doubt there are “mean” WolfWren fans that are saying silly shit like “hahah we won” and “our ship is better” #and yeah! That’s mean. HOWEVER it is not fucking harassment or the same as “fuck this LGBT shit” #and it’s wrong that queer sabezra stans are being harassed too- there is way too much biphobia & homophobia in this whole fucking fandom #but let’s not act like being called homophobic is the same as suffering under homophobia #and let’s not forget that queer people are capable of being homophobic themselves by perpetuating harm #thank you for coming to my TEDtalk #text

[falthiere]

the internet + fandom’s inability to perceive relationship dynamics beyond the triangle of “romantic/platonic/familial” is so draining sometimes

really it’s more like “romantic/familial” bc people never give a damn abt exploring platonic dynamics anyways and platonic is just a word ppl throw at two characters as an excuse to not think abt them before yapping abt their fave ship

#dream journal #it sucks bc i feel like that mindset has rubbed off on me even as an aro #so i feel like i can only try to discuss character relationships while using these as a framework #when that does so many duos a disservice #i know people like to shit on people who find the fandom focus on shipping wearying #but i just think it’s so ass when ship brainrot gets in the way of actually discussing character relationships #without it turning into a ship war #idk this is incoherent sorry #this post is abt nvfr but it’s also abt my Aromantic Exhaustion #i love genshin but lowkey being in the fandom turns me into the joker #like i don’t wanna shit on ppl who do this bc like. u do u and u are free #it’s just so tiring as an aro
