Gordon/Barney/Alyx is really really funny to me conceptually bc it's like, two hot geniuses in their 20s who look at the 40-something smartass who hangs around and go 'yeah that guy. we both want him carnally'

#and they're SO right #half life #half life 2 #gordon freeman #alyx vance #barney calhoun #freemance #valhoun #freehounce #idk what the hell their poly ship name is sorry lol #(me. posting about a ship with an age gap on the 'can't be normal about age gap ships' website: #SURE HOPE THERE ISN'T ANY AGE GAP DISCOURSE IN HERE) #this was the first time I've drawn any of these characters in LITERAL YEARS and. wow........ #feels so crazy that this was the fandom that got me to join tumblr in the first place (in 2011!!!!) and I used to draw them ALL THE TIME #interests change I guess #but I think I'll always come back to hl and portal occasionally. they're too much a part of my dna at this point LOL #my art #description in alt text #oh my god I just went back through my half life tag and the last time I drew these three was when I drew that freehounce meme LMAOOO #how serendipitious

omg now we have the yaoi and the yuri version of the rebirth key visual! 🥳 win for the gays AND the lesbians! yippee!!!

#seriously though i love the aerith/tifa version! they look great! #anyways zakkura and aerti canon <3 (jk i swear! but people are using these for cloti vs clerith ship wars and its stupid) #so maybe if i make it obnoxiously gay (like myself) then i can deter the het shippers (not all just the ones that are starting ship wars) #also love that this is being used to fuel ship wars and everyone collectively ignores seph lol #like if this canonizes cloti and zerith somehow (saw ppl actually say that) the what does it mean for seph? sephxhimself canon? sephseph? #(idk how this canonizes any ship tbh especially cloti and zerith cause like… they’ve been canon for like… years…) #im ranting in these tags im so sorry i just think its so stupid but im also seeing it on twitter so like… of course its frustratingly dumb #ff7 #ffvii #final fantasy 7 rebirth #cloud strife #zack fair #aerith gainsborough #tifa lockhart

I need to point out the fact that the shipping side of this fandom has committed hate crimes (against me)

So like- we had solidaribeans, we had magical mountain, we had boat boys. We all know this, Joel gets bitches real BUT

Were the Fuck is my Gribeans content huh?? /lh

Like???? Something something Joel and Grian being the only ones they could trust in the end of LL, running away from the rest of the server together, dying inches from each other..

Joel killing Grian twice and Grian still following him, their plans or revenge. Getting revenge on people who did nothing to them because the other wanted blood.. something something

On 100Hrs Joel being there when he died, when he was revived, when Scar died. Something something them both needing constants in their lives and using each other to fill it

NOT TO MENTION THE ‘LETS MAKE OUT SCENE’ COME ON GUYS

This is frankly disappointing and my day is ruined /lh

#trafficshipping #hermitshipping #i guess? I mean I don’t know how to tag 100 Hours TBH #do i main tag?? #idk i’d hope people have the shipping tags blacklisted but #dont wanna risk it #i barely use twitter and it scarred me #100 hours hardcore #i’ll tag that.. cause idk who looks at that anymore #if you found this through that tag.. then im sorry?? #im rambling ANYWAYS #they make out and kiss and have explored each others body’s your honours #OH RIGHT I FORGOT #gribeans #or smallishrian? #idk #oh and #deadliest duo #thats what I call them because its the original name of Joels original episode title when they went on a killing spree in LL

women will literally accuse women and esp lesbian circles of "not unpacking ""man-hating""" alleged ""misandry" sweetie xo" getting offended ppl aren't appropriately uplifting how "men are amazing and awesome and attractive and i won't be shamed for thinking so" as if appreciating men is a real counter opinion than blame whatever gave women of every sexuality instance to be jaded weary cautious and tired and who'll complain every now and then and continue on with her life until she dies putting up with patriarchy. just welcome to the "woke" internet where misogyny's over and "man-hate" "shamed for not hating men" is worth springing to defences for

yeah i've only seen people talk like men's rights activists and think they're being unbelievably progressive on tumblr it's kind of fascinating. like i can see how seeing people hate on men could mess with people and stuff but you can't demand men appreciation posts that's literally the whole world outside of idk your tumblr dash (or even on your tumblr dash because fandom misogyny from people who think they're not misogynistic at all is really something). men get praised for "babysitting" their own kids like be serious? it's very let men be masculine

i don't think being like men are soooo gross and we hate them is actually constructive and it can definitely veer into transphobia (you'll always be a man/"a male" and thus a danger to women/why would you ever want to become a man they're the enemy and the bane of society etc) and homophobia relatively quickly?

but the way people ON TUMBLR ""combat that"" is often so off to me like if the most basic feminist principles offend you then i'm not really sure where to go from here. i remember seeing a post that was like "men aren't your enemy. they're your friend/brother/father/colleague/neighbor" with a lot of notes and like i don't know how to tell you this but that's literally who's most likely to harm a woman, the men she knows?😭 and obviously not every system of oppression is exactly the same but would you say the same thing to someone criticizing white people like...just very weird

i think women who are attracted to men and dating them making jokes about how they only tolerate being attracted to men because they have no choice and especially the whole i'm bi so i love every woman and only find 1 in a 1000 men attractive (very often said while in a relationship with a man) thing is obnoxious and annoying for like everyone who has to hear it lmao but also when women who date men make jokes about it (not about them being ugly or unattractive or whatever but about them being bad partners in general) it's like. what else are they going to do like you said they're gonna endure patriarchy for the rest of their lives and as girlfriends/wives/mothers they go through the most it's very bleak? idk. it's not like you can date a better man yourself out of patriarchy

of course men aren't a all as bad as the worst guy you can imagine and they're not all out to get you or whatever but saying things like "men don't all benefit from the patriarchy rich men benefit from the patriarchy but jake, 23, is not oppressing you" is like. kind of insane. jake, 14, was oppressing me like have you never interacted with boys in school😭 and it's not like it was entirely their fault we all have to outgrow misogyny it's just you know society etc but some of them never outgrow it lmao and just...the takes you see on feminism on tumblr are astounding i hate it here

#and like i do think that young guys who feel bad about themselves only having people who make them feel worse and who actively make them #worse like incels and idk youtube algorithms to turn to is a problem but like. again it's the same thing as white people who feel bad about #being white to me in a way like are women and GIRLS supposed to coddle them and say it's gonna be okay you're great even when they're #like actually harming them by being misogynistic to them? that's already what they're taught to do always #the notes on that male loneliness epidemic post i reblogged a few weeks ago still haunt me like OH MY GOD #and if you think misogyny isn't as prevalent anymore you're very naive. and probably misogynistic yourself #i'm not even sure young men being more feminist is true (well it's probably true when you compare it to like the 50s) but even #when men ARE like yeah women shouldn't have to do everything i can help with chores (the use of the word help is already a red flag lmao) #when you look at what they actually do they still do way less like i don't have links because these are tags on a tumblr ask but i read #somewhere that men think chores are 50/50 when they're only doing like 30% of the work? like it just seems hopeless #sometimes i'm happy and then i think about the mental load #sorry for not uplifting men 24/7 you can just hang out on the steve harrington tag or something there's actually a lot of people doing that #when someone said um does the ronance fandom not seem terfy to you...because of a post that was like can the lesbian ship ronance #be about the lesbian ship ronance not about steve A MAN #like you can't make this up #i meant it when i said the average tumblr user would benefit from being exposed to more misogyny like i swear they forget it's even a thing #like obviously they wouldn't BENEFIT from it lmao but their posts wouldn't be as dumb and that would benefit me🙏 #ask

Not a public proshiper myself because of heavy fear

but Lunar x Eclipse x ruin. Especially with Ruin tricking both to their side to work with them.

first off i am So sorry this took like a week to get to (im still workin on the other thing in my inbox too i prommy </3) and second off, God thats so Real. there's a reason i use a sideblog to be proship instead of my main and that's bc of one huge reason: excruciating anxiety

[synthshenanigans]

there’s one on here currently and they’re bringing back up old controversy (jashshipping)

Yeaa I saw that. They also seem to post a bunch of CJ related things, so I might make the daily photos one since there isn't one for just CJ screenshots/photos

#im gonna be a fait bit busy today so I cant make it rn #also wont be making it tomorrow as there's another strike happening then [ill make a post on that later too btw] #but i want there to be an account just of stuff from the vids or of the ones he posts on twitter #as for the shipping thing #i wish ppl wouldn't be so rude with things sometimes man #my stance is basically the same as CJs. interpret it however you'd like just don't show it to ppl who are uncomfortable with it #also don't harass or be a dick to people who do or don't ship it #im glad it died down since then at least & that there's not a bunch of hate going around #this fandom is simultaneously really nice to be in & also really draining sometimes #tho it definitely isn't the worse. ive been in a lot of ones that are a LOT worse than here. big & small #place is actually quite nice mostly. despite some things that deserve needing to be called out [like some of the ableism toward Heart] #I think things would be a lot better if people just let others do their own thing. as long as its not like. fuckin illegal or offense #or against CJs boundaries. just let others vibe out in there own corner #ain't that what we all said when TH purists complain about CJs covers? No ones forcing you to consume the content. is all good #just stay where you're comfortable! if anyone's forcing you to look at their stuff then they're the issue. and that goes both ways #again just listen to what the guy said. don't show it to people that don't like it. don't harass people who do it don't like it. an like #just be groovy #sorry for the rant this has just been on my mind for months now #im generally very neutral on things but i hate everyone just yellin at each other when there doesn't need to be yelling in the first place #again this place is hell of a lot better than other spaces ive been in #its a main reason this is the first fandom I've actively participated a shit ton in #im actually using discord & talking [a bit] to other ppl for once lol #idk man i like it here. Just don't make a reason for people not to like it here #again apologies for the rant op. this has just been on my mind for some time & i really don't want shit being blown up again #also apologize if anythins spelled wrong or sounds like nonsense #shitty keyboard + dyslexia + not being able to edit tags can make dumb results lol #moss rants #[atlas asks]

This was going to be apart of a larger project, but this text doesn't fit the idea. But I liked it too much so I want to upload this version separately, so if you see something similar to this that's why.

"You can't fix me," he said. Deadpan. Not a suggestion but a statement. A warning.

Dead silence filled the air.

"Of course not," a reply pierced through. "You're beautiful as you are."

wriothesley x neuvillette = lame. doesnt compliment eachother. clearly ppl just ship them for superficial reasons + they showed up on the same patch together. thats pretty much it 🥱

wriothesley x clorinde = power couple. compliments each other Very well. they slay. what else can i say. just look at them

#random ppl finding this from the character tags dont come at me. let me speak my truth. MY PERSONAL OPINION. #idk the ship names and i dont dare use them lest i summon them.. #i hc wriothesley & clorinde as a t4t bi couple 🤭 (sorry im obsessed with these types of ships LOL what can i say) #i need people to see their potential. they fr act like a married couple who work together #like MOST i can see neuvillette is having a one night stand with him and they never mention it again lol i cant imagine them as a couple.. #.txt

Question for you, on the subject of SPOP ships: would you have been okay with Glitradora (essentially the poly trio) being a thing, had Nate Stevenson decided he wanted to go that direction? I'm just curious as someone who loved how the Catradora arc was done in the show.

(And for the record, I understand your indifference towards both Korrasami and CaitVi--the latter will need some more seasons in the oven to really flourish, while the former is severely hampered by the constant executive interference Nickelodeon pulled on LOK during its original run.)

if glitradora were made canon i would have eaten my own face (/pos) my god the CONCEPT,,, the DRAMA,,, the DYNAMICS,,,,, that would have been my roman empire actually

also agree w everything you say here indifference is a great word for it. caitvi i actually see the potential in them i don't dislike the pairing it just rlly isn't compelling to me. i actually felt a little,,, weird about it? it felt like it came out of nowhere to me?? which i know isn't true but something about it just strikes me as Rushed idk (vi is still one of my favorite characters though)

as for korrasami i lowkey feel bad hating on it bc i KNOW how much the network screwed over the writers about it, but like,,, man i don't even see the potential in this one ahgakjsdas. i will admit though a big part of this is just the general writing of tlok i felt wasn't great so the character dynamics seem sorta weak to me. i AM glad for what they did for representation in kids' cartoons though and i'm glad ppl are having a good time shipping them. the fanart is gorgeous also

#i will also say though. part of what i dislike about korrasami is that i simply do not find asami compelling. korra was truly the only #character in that show that i REALLY liked everyone else was either just kinda There or i actively didn't like #i think what it comes down to for me is that i feel bad for not liking these mainstream wlw ships (i forgot to mention this before but #chaggie via hazbin hotel is ALSO on this list) is bc like. i am AWARE of how important these relationships are in terms of #representation of wlw ESPECIALLY korrasami and that there's nothing WRONG with the ships but #so often im like.... this is unseasoned plain chicken to me. they could literally just be besties and i think i would enjoy that MORE #and then i spiral im like. oh god wait this is the societally ingrained minimizing/softening/erasure of sapphic relationships and #watering down to 'girl best friends' #am *I* the problem? is this internalized lesbophobic rhetoric?? #which. i highly DOUBT. bc i DO like wlw ships. as stated any combination of catra/glimmer/adora i ADORE #but it. bothers me #especially bc these ships are soooo popular and idk if we've just gotten used to only getting the unseasoned chicken or if #i AM. in fact. the problem #RORY HAS A GAY LITTLE CRISIS IN THE TAGS OF THIS POST SORRY I KNOW YOU DIDNT ASK FOR THIS FHSKDJFHJS #ask #mine

[musical-chick-13]

Thinking about that "If K*ylo R*n were a woman everything would be better and this character would have worked" post, but after some consideration...I genuinely would have still hated this character.

Like...Idk maybe there's something to be said for the still-subversive nature of characters like this being allowed to be horrible women, but I don't hate this character because he's horrible, or even because he exemplifies a bunch of things in fiction I'm tired of seeing, I hate him because he doesn't feel fully-formed as a character to me and I don't think the movies know what they're trying to accomplish with him from a narrative standpoint (which are, imo, the biggest Story Sins a writer can commit). All of which would still hold true if this character were a woman.

#I WILL say. this character wouldn't be as popular as they are (and they ARE popular. fandom is not just limited to pockets of tumblr) if #they were a woman. nor would The Popular Ship be r*ylo. that's not me scaremongering about misogyny that's just. true. #we have SEEN that be true again and again and again #the OTHER thing about this character is that...I feel like he was MEANT to come across as #'he's so tortured and pained and complicated' but then they never did anything to SHOW ME THAT COMPLEXITY #if I look at like...(idk using another Tortured Male Character Who Did Bad Things) Theon. I can get from point a to point b with him. #I SEE the things that influenced him and I SEE how he got to a point where he thought acting the way he did was the only way forward. #I do not see that with. the other guy (sorry I am trying SO hard to make sure this doesn't accidentally end up in the character tag) #you either need to show me where the 'horrible'-ness comes from or you need to commit to the character just choosing to be horrible #not every character needs to have some Deep Reason Why they do what they do (like they can literally just be evil it's fine) but you can't #try to convince me there IS a Deep Reason Why and then NOT EVER SHOW ME THAT REASON #they (meaning sequel trilogy) like...sort of tried? a little? I guess? but the 'trying' was...barely anything and then they #didn't ever fully COMMIT to it. #THAT'S the problem I have. #(the 'not following through on alleged complexity' is also one of the big problems I have with [character I also hate but whose #name I'm not saying for reasons of self-preservation]) #and yeah maybe because of Subconscious Bias they WOULDN'T have been so wishy-washy on how Deep or sympathetic™ this character's #motivations were if they'd been a woman maybe they really WOULD have just made her straight-up evil with no Underlying Reason #(which yeah that WOULD have worked better for me I think?) but if we are saying 'this character is exactly the same but a woman' #.......no sorry. unfortunately a female character I can't defend this time. #(and I DID think about this. like 'do I hate this character due to a knee-jerk reaction toward men--even fictional ones--I consider to be #threatening/because he reminds me of people I don't like irl' or 'do I prioritize Hating Men' but...no I truly would just #hate this character regardless) #like I really do think my biggest pet peeve is when the story/creator themselves tries to hit me over the head with 'this character is #so COMPLICATED and DEEP and PSYCHOLOGICALLY INTRICATE' and then not ever actually PROVING that to me
