When it comes to OG!Cale ships I like both OG!AlCale and OG!ChoiHan but it really depends on the scenario

For example, I like OG!AlCale in both regression aus and TBoaH adjacent timeline things because I think a huge thing I like in their dynamic is how mysterious they both are to the other party. The fun of their dynamic is them discovering more about each other and the various miscommunications they have cause of their own personalities, and I think that works very well no matter the universe.

But with OG!ChoiCale, I feel like I can really only enjoy it in TBoaH adjacent things or if they both have the memories of the first life.

To me, a big thing about OG!ChoiCale is about the life they lived together, how they hated eachother, how they both didn’t know eachother for years, how they could have spent time together during the war due to unfortunate circumstances(there not being enough people left)

Like, I think OG!ChoiCale can be such a cool dynamic, such a sad, but comforting one at the same time. It’s a little bitter how the man you thought you would hate forever became a close companion, how he’s more similar to you than your younger self woild have ever thought, but do you really hate it?

Can you really hate having a person who understands you, when so many people have died? When so many are gone?

Something about the sadness of it all, how it was tragedy that brought them against each other at first, but now it brings them together. How they could only ever grow to understand eachother because of the pain they face, the pain that they shared. At some point, can you really hate him, even until the end? After all those years? After coming to understand him? No, you cannot.

Like, it adds in extra layers when they both care about each other at some point mid-way through the war, but they still can’t really talk to eachother properly. They care, but they frustrate one another, anger each other. Choi Han doing increasingly more risky and self sacrificial things because ‘I’m a hero’ ‘I have to do it.’ ‘It is justice to save people’, despite the fact that it’s at the expense of himself

And Cale’s frustration at Choi Han’s attitude. He can never wrap his head around the fact that Choi Han destroys himself for the sake of other people, and believes it’s heroic(He knows Choi Han doesnt, he know Choi Han hates it too, but he doesn’t know what else to say to himself other than the fact that ‘it’s for the greater good’, because he will go crazy if he doesn’t)

He’s mad, but there’s some twisted sense of understanding in there too. Cale understands, because he became trash for his family, he became trash to protect them, he had to do it.

But that’s only what he thought.

He was older now, he had lost them all, and he had seen how his trash act hadn’t done anything to protect them. It only distanced him from them, and now they were gone, and he could never see them again, he could never make amends.

Cale is mad at Choi Han for sacrificing himself because while Choi Han is hurting himself, the people who he loves, and the people who love him, watch him do it over and over again and he doesn’t listen to their worried cries.

He’s mad, but he understands. It was frustrating to be on the other side, watching someone destroy themselves for the sake of others when the people who cared about them wanted the exact opposite. The only difference between him and Choi Han was that Choi Han was never a good liar, he could never hide how much pain he went through.

In a way, Cale thought it was better that way.

At some point, there is love that is there. Love that follows them, and it’s so painful because they both know the tragedy edy to it that is how they are doomed, how they can never be happy in the first time line where they knew each other.

Because as Cale and Choi Han, they can’t be happy. Not when so much has been lost, not when the world is falling apart, they may love each other, but loving each other as they are means being in a world where everything else they love is gone.

It is a cruel kind of love.

Like let’s say they do pursue these feelings, even though knowing those two I don’t think they’d ever say anything in that scenario. If they did it would probably be Cale going like:

“Choi Han, do you love me?”

Choi Han doesn’t say anything, but his silence in place of adamant refusal is enough of an answer.

“Do you love me, Cale?”

Cale doesn’t say anything either, only smiling at Choi Han with his signature, cynical and bitter smile.

He didn’t deny it either.

It was a confirmation of feelings, but unlike the confessions from romance novels and stories, the main character and lead do not end up together and live happily ever after.

They stay together, but the world around them is not happy, not at all. They are together, but not as partners or as lovers, but two people who live in their suffering because all they can do is live.

I feel like anything they do together would always have an air of melancholy to it. Maybe they kiss, once, and no more, because there is no point in making it a regular thing. Not when everything in their world will end, even if they keep on fighting for it to not be that way.

They kiss, and it’s short, but in that short moment, the world is nothing but Cale and Choi Han.

Isn’t that selfish? If it’s like this, then they could ignore how everything has gone so badly. But that is exactly why they cannot be together, there is no ignoring the reality of their situation, no matter how sweet it would be to live in a false dream and never wake up.

I like my OG!ChoiCale a little doomed.

#I LOVE DOOMED YAOI!!!!!!!! #I can only like OG!ChoiCale when they’re different from TCF ChoiCale #actually that’s something I don’t like in a lot of things #where it’s just TCF copy and pasted but Roksoo is gone and OG Cale is in his place #it’s something I don’t prefer personally #because I like OG Cale as he is #and not as KRS’s replacement #I like both of them and they both deserve their own stories #not to say that OG AlCale is similar to TCF AlCale #they aren’t really similar #but I guess I’m more particular about how I feel on OG ChoiCale cause they’re my favorite ship 😭 #yes the ship with zero screentime is my favorite #I know #it’s tragic #but yeah I like OG!ChoiCale as doomed old man yaoi #I think there is a lot of potential in their dynamic #because of how doomed the TBoaH universe is #tcf #lcf #just rambling #trash of the count's family #lout of the count’s family #tcf novel #lcf novel #og cale henituse #choicale

Genuine question why does so much of the jwcc fandom hate Ben and Darius as a ship?? the age gap is the same as all of the other popular ships in the fandom but that’s the only argument I’ve seen for it. They’re literally fine.

#jwcc #benrius #Ben Pincus #Darius bowman #camp cretaceous #also for the record Darius canonically turned thirteen on the island so the ‘two year gap’ thing isn’t even real #I genuinely don’t get it #they’re cute?? they have lots of screentime together and a really healthy beautifully navigated dynamic?? #when I checked the fandom I was shocked to find it was a rarepair #does anyone know what’s going on there??? #the only way to claim they have an age gap bigger than any of the other ships aside from yasammy #is to choose to believe that of your own free will?? #if you’re uncomfy with a one year age gap that’s totally chill I get that and that’s so fair #but most of the people using the argument ship things with the same age gap??

Happy Holidays!!

#Mianite #I’d like to apologize for the tag essay you don’t gotta read all that idk what happened #you know its interesting how red has called jordan ‘skipper Sparklez’ implying that he places them on the same level #especially since both of them have messed with capsize’s ship. but jordan places himself on the same level as capsize #because theyre both captains (which stops being true since capsize demotes him to boatswain) #and capsize makes Tom a captain meaning she places him on the same level as herself (Tom is a captain because he owns a ship btw) #(which btw is why capsize was like ‘you’re leaving my crew?’ to Jordan when he got the ss jerry but technically since he says the ship is #‘for capsize’s fleet’ it belongs to her) #I think the issue with Jordan and Capsize is that he doesn’t actually like her as an individual but as an idea #that idea being ‘having a teammate’ because it’s just been him up until that point. #arguably jordan doesn’t really care about capsizes feelings on things examples of this are #her saying no to getting married but he like ignores that and continues on with the idea that they’re together/ going to get married. #him throwing gold at her and assuming that was all it took to get a date out of her instead of asking (like everyone’s given her gold he #ain’t special) and the ss jerry which was made to impressive her but it’s in a color he likes and also he named it #also him stepping over capsizes boundaries and kissing her #me personally I will not write them having a positive relationship because Jordan’s ruined it for himself truly #I think we as a society need to put more blame on Jordan when it comes to capsizes death by the way #like while he wasn’t the only one in the room BUT he was the only one capable #Tucker was stuck in a hole Tom was being a bitch in the background Red was paralyzed in fear #and when Capsize gets threatened you know what he says? ‘Skipper you gonna do something’ (something along those lines anyways I don’t fully #remember) like he let Furia fucking villain monologue are you serious??? #also it’s way more interesting that they don’t get along #or maybe i just like issues idk #feel free to disagree ofc

yeah so it’s not like my codependent james & sirius don’t love or care for other people. it’s that, when it comes down to it, their default is the other and sorry if u don’t think that’s different but it is.

they’re not putting the people in their life on a twisted graded hierarchy, they’re just?? each others?? most important person?? like bro why is it that the most common tropes on fucking earth are a problem when it’s prongsfoot????

#if u couldn’t tell already #i keep going onto the anti pf side of things #and ykno what i’m gonna do it. i’m gonna take the plunge. do what i dislike. and block. #(no but i’ll try to. really) #lEt tHeM bE bRoS #dOnT cHeApEn tHeiR fRieNdShIp #yah and while we’re at this it let’s also let the history books say they were friends #because we don’t have enough male friendships so we need representation 😀 #(sometimes??? do they realise??? they’re regurgitating older homophobic phrases or???) #like bro. ur not the only one w life exp. #‘sometimes i think these people don’t/can’t—‘ shut up shut UP #i hate romance irl. can’t do it will never do it don’t like it. #but that’s not my fictional consumption now is it? #and won’t be either #j&s occupy a space more than friends OR lovers #also don’t know why some people r seeking realism?? in this universe?? esp considering what they’re writing usually?? #like. some self awareness pls? #if y’all can’t tell. i’m annoyed lmao #i’m just sick of seeing j/s treated like. idk. it’s the first or only ship to romanticise friendships or wtv #WHILE and this bit is imp WHILE loudly shipping w*l farar and j*gulus like??? #just say u like those ships and go?? #but also. that last point is just me being frustrated. i get the bitching bc i do the same w those two ships #so like. yeah. respect their right to rant. but won’t respect the rant lol #also…this isn’t @ like anyone in particular . it’s just many people on the anti pf mwpp side i’ve seen who have similar arguments #and they’re always the stupidest #which i wouldn’t care for so much it if they didn’t constantly bring up ‘real life! realistic! not how it works!’ etc etc #yah #that’s it for now #i’m sure i’ll come back later lmao #pen’s whining

[fruixtii]

no one except me should be allowed to touch childhood friends to lovers tropes ever

#this is really only about twst #theres not really a problem with riddle and trey but it’s just so off putting to me for some reason it doesn’t feel right #they’re relationship seems so strictly platonic to me. like as a kid trey had this friend who didn’t get to have actual fun #their* #and he allowed him to actually have those experiences #but then everything went wrong because he did and you see him suffering and you just want to help!!! #you want the best for him you want to see him happy. i cannot see anything romantic in their relationship #for kalim and jamil it isn’t even about them being childhood friends it’s about how jamil feels towards kalim #maybe in the future after they graduate they’ll be friends but i don’t think jamil will ever actually feel comfortable around kalim #they don’t even have any chemistry like riddle and trey sort of do #and i don’t know how silver and sebek isn’t obvious #they read as brothers through and through. silver literally said sebek is a brother to him. #i cant even comprehend seeing their relationship as romantic ever in any universe #they seem more like brothers than jade and floyd do #idk. my brain is just so wired to seeing them as brothers that whenever i see people ship them i feel sick #oh and theres also the fact that i feel like silver is so much more mature than sebek. i think thats also a really big factor. #it really affects their dynamic #silver has such older sibling who takes care of their younger sibling alone #like if both of them didn’t have parents silver would totally take up the parental mentality and he would always make sure sebek had someone #to rely on #ok that’s enough hate posting for now

this was from a long time ago but i haven’t posted much abt dr so. is this something. did anyone have this idea yet

#please don’t flame me i do not ship sora and nya #if it is kinda weird tell me n i’ll take it down #i also don’t know if this crush on older siblings slash counsellor thing actually happens or if it only happens in fiction #but whatever they’re fictional #shoutout to squib #ignore the uh. 6am #i did not remember it being 6am #i haven’t posted anything in so long so take this i guess #is ninjago tumblr still like. alive #i haven’t seen much but also everyone i follow has moved on and i don’t really check the tag so i hope so #ninjago #lego ninjago #sora ninjago #ninjago sora #nya ninjago #ninjago nya #dragons rising #ninjago dragons rising #i don’t think i have to tag spoilers it’s been long enough

anyways ROUND 2!!! 17 and 21 for taka shishi <333

taka shishi hehe <3

Genuinely the only two ships I’ve seen for him are with ren and sakyo and I honestly don’t think I could see him tolerably with like anyone else, so I will say that I don’t like hateeee him with ren. I enjoy their dynamic platonically more than anything and I cannot see takanosuke with a woman, but like, I guess I could tolerate it. At a distance. Of at least 20 ft minimum. And with a hazmat suit.

This comes to any depiction of him and Sakyo together at all, but it’s fun trying to find the balance between Takanosuke being very obviously 100% head over heels hopelessly in love with Sakyo but also not being a complete doormat for him either. A lot of their dynamic together before they’re like super close is takanosuke essentially treating Sakyo like a cat who’s on edge and trying to get as close as possible to try and pet it while not making any sudden movements and scaring it basically, and it’s a fun dynamic to write. I think it Around a Campfire you can kinda see that when Takanosuke’s first asking questions and all that. He so badly wants to just go full in and be besties immediately but he’s proceeding with caution and only going further when Sakyo reciprocates in some way and it’s a fun dynamic to write. I worry about going too far one way or the other though. There’s extents and conditions to both sides of their interactions and so it’s really easy to mess it up I think.

#axel’s silly little thoughts #ren and Taka is one of those ships where like. I know WHY people ship it. but I cannot begin to imagine actually doing so #takanosuke is so funny I usually love shipping my favs with a ton of others but he is only compatible with one fucking dude #I considered Zyro for a second but they’re dynamic is too brotherly in my head for me to really see it

whys ygo the only fandom I’m in that’s really populated with crackships/rarepairs out the wazoo. Like there’s ofc A Lot of popular ships but no one looks twice at ‘weirder’ ones like ones where the charas never spoke. More fandoms could learn from this 😔

#sorry I’m still thinking abt that fic I rbed earlier it was really good #tmm fandom esp…..all my fav tmm ships are weird rarepairs 😭 that like 2-3 other ppl are rly into too #I’ve never seen another mintkanna shipper actually. stares sadly out into the horizon #I know she was only in one ep but still. they would’ve been iconic together. bitchy rich lesbians. do you see my vision #she was also one of the only og tmm side charas to learn abt a mews identity! #one problem I had w new was every ufcking side chara found out the girls were mews like what. why. #it’s hardly even a secret in new bc they look the same in mg form as civilian forms 💀 #in the og anime it had more impact bc No one knew hardly!!! #sigh. at least ryoukish has picked up and there’s more fics and art for it in the wild now. nature is healing etc #ichimint too altho besides mintkuro that’s always been the 2nd most popular fem pairing I think even years ago #but we could get more niche. #🤔 #ygo ppl ship like they’re throwing darts at random charas to pair them. they ship charas that weren’t in the same season or same SERIES #the crossover ships between ygo series. well the series premise itself lends rly well to that #there’s in universe crossovers so it’s not far fetched #ygo my beloved. still prob the fandom w the best fics I’ve ever been in bc of the variety and quality 🫶 #sanchoyorambles

I’m trying to get back into reading webtoons, because my ability to consume media has hit an all time low, and so I’m rereading The Remarried Empress, and I have only one thing to add since rereading it

McKenna may not be the main character but he’s the main character of my heart <3

#uni talks about the universe #webtoon #the remarried empress #mckenna remarried empress #I fucking adore this man #also side note is he and ergi a thing #they only had one scene together but low key I ship it #he deals with too much of heinley’s bullshit #love that man but he’s driving McKenna into an early grave #also just like my post I made three years ago I keep getting distracted by the pretty outfits #I need an art book just filled with the dresses of the remarried empress #pls they’re so pretty #that rose dress is still on the top of my mind to this day #also yes my ability to consume media has really gone down the drain #I haven’t been able to watch the shows I want to or read the books #its so hard and i don’t know why #hopefully this can help me start up again

[byeler]

the thing is i COULD like m*leven! the set up is there! i thought it was cute in s1 and s2! the reunion scene in s2 was SO poignant and palpable because you could feel how lonely they both were, how much they missed each other, how important they both were to each other. and then they spend the next two seasons throwing stupid, contrived relationship problems at them and instead of fixing them in a way that builds any confidence, they slap them with a band aid that doesn’t address any of the actual issues. s3 is an issue from the get go with their fight being based around a lie that hopper basically forced onto mike, but still doesn’t get around to resolving the wedge that it’s put between them and the rest of the party. and now s4 has mike afraid to say i love you, despite having all but said it already, and having to use their gay coded (but not explicitly gay, despite their insistence that it would be made clear) character to prop them up instead of allowing any happiness in his own love life. all while relegating mike to the background in both of these seasons and giving him so little plot outside of el.

m*leven’s potential is there, but they simply do not know how to get these characters to work together outside of a puppy crush stage. they could do so much more. they could have such a genuine bond. but it’s becoming more and more apparent that they don’t have anything in common besides codependency

#byler #i’m frustrated i really am #it’s feels more and more like they just don’t know how to write a good romance #quite frankly i’m not a huge fan of j*pper or j*ncy either #lumax is the only canon couple i genuinely enjoy #and when SO much of the plot is based around love #specifically romantic love #(when they could be putting a much bigger emphasis on platonic love but that’s another rant) #it’s very distracting to just be so off put by the romances they’re shoving at us #i think the reason byler appealed to me so much is bc they really weren’t trying to write a romance #they were trying to write a friendship and succeed with that way more than any of their ships #whatever!!!!! #idk!!!!!!!!! #st4 spoilers #s4 spoilers #stranger things spoilers

Never go to Louisiana. Worst mistake of my life

Damn I’m glad I left Wattpad. People complain about tumblr users but geez the new generation of Wattpad users are fucking idiots man.

#I left Wattpad a long time ago but wow #I go back for a visit down memory lane #and I find an idiot with an account that is only a year old #seriously don’t reply to comments you think are hate #if you really want to then do it on a burner account or something #but it’s a waste of time #I wasted my time and replied to them obviously #but they were arguing with someone on Wattpad #and it wasn’t even over a ship #they were mad a comment was saying “hey whores #broski they obviously mean it with love #Wattpad people know they’re whores #we just reply with equal energy #sit down #shut up #and get off Wattpad if you don’t like it #the only valid thing to argue about over there is your OTP and other toxic fandom behavior #anyway I like tumblr better #ya’ll are more chill sometimes #but also low key chaotic #it’s fun
