actually I love Tentoo and he is the Doctor and it was the only ending for Rose that worked and it is a huge gift to be able to have the man she loves grow old with her, they were always heading for that, y'all be quiet. I 100% understand the angst but it's okay, they're okay, good ending-

#did you want her to...not end up with the doctor? #she ended up with the doctor. she ended up with the doctor and they get to AGE together #they get to have a real honest relationship the way they both always genuinely wanted #it's hard that the full time lord version has to carry on without her but that is the way that character's story ALWAYS goes #the doctor does not get to keep ANYONE. it would be a different show if he did #meanwhile there is a version of that same face of his - the one that was MADE for love? particularly born out of love for ROSE? the one 1/2 #2/2 that always wanted a FAMILY? and stability? and a normal life? the tenth doctor longed for that specifically because of rose #now he gets to have it AND be part-human so he doesn't have to watch her get old. he gets old WITH HER #and they're canonically growing their own Tardis so you don't even have to be sad that they're not adventuring in time and space as usual #because they ARE. it's the kindest ending for either character. and if the full time lord hadn't left without either of them- #-he would have had to lose them eventually. lose Rose because she's human? hello? painful? but instead he was selfless and left her- #-with a proper happy ending. which she CHOSE to have so you can't be like “he tricked her!” she chose to kiss one of them and it was Tentoo #they are the same man. Rose won in this scenario. #and I GET IT I am with Billie Piper I think it will always feel a little off that she was left with Tentoo and not the full time lord #I understand. it still makes me a little sad. but I know it's a good ending writing-wise. really the ONLY ending. #yes I know about the popular idea of Immortal!Rose or Bad Wolf Rose or whatever and that's cute and all BUT - it's not a GOOD thing #it's not PREFERABLE to be immortal. Rose doesn't want to live forever. she wants to be with the man she LOVES forever. #she doesn't want to not die or adventure for all time. she wants to be there to hold his hand. and when Tentoo is born she gets THAT! #Immortal!Rose is tragic. the Doctor would not wish the burden of immortality on the woman he loves HELLO #anyway #I ship timepetals. that includes Tentoo/Rose. because he is the doctor #so there #I have more thoughts on Tentoo specifically but I digress #maybe if provoked in an Ask or something idk #doctorrose #timepetals #opinion piece #tenrose #tentoo #handy

I have mixed feelings about Tim but I genuinely respect him for at least being honest about this (x)

#my post #911 abc #911 fox #911 #buddie #tim minear #tuck #I really really want Buddie to happen like most of us #but the entertainment space is very vulnerable #Buck being bi was SO monumental but even still we have NO idea how that will impact ratings and what not #same sex marriage wasn't even legal in all 50 states a *decade* ago #a LOT of people are still homophobic #this could help change that yes #this could help attract more viewers too #but we don't know that #if we are able to sustain and GROW the viewership of the show we are more likely to get buddie #and also #I'd rather have a show runner who straight up says hey it's okay that you ship it have at it #than a show runner who is condescending towards its fans #because there are a LOT of them

ok newsletter euphoria has worn off i hate love again

#why is sccs relationship ambiguous. confim theyre siblings Please. i need more characters who Cant be shipped. #characters just Saying theyre friends And Nothing More isnt enough for some reason. #them Saying theyre friends doesn work unfortunately. let peole be friends let people &characters exist outside the lense of romance shut up #sorry. i saw a post and have been bitter abt it. it wasn’t even utdr it was abt the owlhouse #romance is not 'the next step' after friendship. romance is not 'a better version' of a friendship. ill kill you #AND YEAH YES FRIENDSHIP IS A SPECTRUM. LOVE COMES IN SHADES. QPRS BLUR THE LINES. #but im Tired of people acting like platonic bonds are lesser. im tired of friendships in media Having to turn into a romance or Secretly be #im tired of characters fucking Existing in th same space and people going 'oh theyre in love' where. where. #'what about c/apsei' its funny. you guys cant even make your ships funny.

not to be a hater but it does drive me insane how so many online conversations are so centered around sidon and yona (and link 😞) and not any of the delicious narratives that totk gave us

like why should we talk about rauru and sonia and their relationship w zelda? why would we talk about zelda and how her relationship w link progressed post calamity? oh are we gonna talk about the sheer insanity that is ZELDA TURNIJG INTOA. FUCKING DRAGON??? no??? shipping discourse over sharks? ok

not to swing a bat at a hornet's nest but it really does feel like specifically mlm ships take precedence in fandom spaces over EVERYTHING else regardless of whether the ship in question actually has like. any canon backing whatsoever. like totk specifically, a ton of the story revolves around zelda, a female character which certain fans notoriously hate for the crime of. being a woman with feelings. like gee i wonder why we all simultaneously decided to ignore the story of this one. i wonder why we really really really want to focus on this random male side character's incredibly minor story instead of the literal titular character of the game. could it perhaps be because some of us are predisposed to ignore and dismiss women in all contexts. could it be perhaps that we don't want to reckon with a woman we didn't like in the last game reclaiming her agency and healing from her trauma and being a positive driving force in the narrative and would rather talk about 2 men and how lame and stupid the woman who dares to exist inbetween them is instead. hmm

#DISCLAIMER. i do not hate sidlink. like. whatever. you can talk about it all you want i do not CARE. but when you are a wlw in fandom spaces #you just. Notice Things. you notice that even when girls are centered in the narrative fans will push them out of the way and center men. #you notice that women are never given the same time for discussion that men are. no one wants to think about their feelings #the way they want to think about male characters. ESPECIALLY when they're percieved as 'ruining' a mlm ship by existing as a love interest. #it happened with botw with sidlink fans ignoring sidlining or villainizing both mipha and zelda and it's happening again with yona. #it's tiring. that's all #totk spoilers #asks #and yes i am aware that making that one stupid post about the statue was signing myself up to see this bullshit but STILL

Sometimes I forget how much shit McCoy canonically knows, at least to a degree of competence. Like ok sure he's not an Engineer or a bricklayer but he's damn well more than "a simple, country doctor"; he's got the sciences badge instead of the medical one for a reason

#like 23rd century be damned #mccoy wears so many medical hats #as well as a decent amount of understanding of biology/microbiology #and i mean. the guy whipped up a whoke cure in Miri with a team of 3 agitated ppl #himself #an old microscope #only spock to immediately bounce ideas off of #and very limited access to ship computers #he formulated a non-lethal fainting formula from ancient materials by hand #so thats chemistry #and back to the (micro)biology—he *was* a genuine option to end out in the immunity syndrome #and swinging back to miri—both pharmacology and virology with a hint of epidemiology #Oh! and he's delivered babies on multiple occasions. no word on if he's particularly trained in gynecology or obstetrics but. #frankly i wouldnt put it past him to be trained in obstetrics and midwifery #like yes a lot of his fields of knowledge are medical #but even in a far future it seems p wild that hes *this* widely competent aross fields like. #physicians are who ppl think of when they hear 'doctor' #and he is a physician #he's just. also. a surgeon. allegedly he is a space psychologist as well #and then see above for grounds to argue he knows pharmacology virology epidemiology and obstetrics/midwifery too #and knows biology and chemistry #no wonder he wanta tk study everything

Finally got around to doing that meme where you draw your comfort characters as Garnet and Steven in that one awful SU 'fan' comic.

Both of my comfort characters are kinda bad people, but even so, I feel like they'd be fairly enthusiastic to kick anyones ass.

The mall goth is Amber Sweet from Repo! the Genetic Opera and the emo is Matthew Patel from the Scott Pilgrim franchise.

Amber encouraging all of Matthews's worst character traits could be a crazy but fun few days for them, and terror for anyone in their paths!

I used to draw these two a bunch and it was SO much joy to work on them again! I love them both with my whole heart and I will excuse any misdeed they do. (joke)

#no genders only alternate fashion sub cultures :P #amber sweet #matthew patel #scott pilgrim #repo! the genetic opera #RTGO #I have the biggest crush on both of these weirdos #I couldn't really think of anything snappy or funny for matthew to say so fuck it lets do it! #youre lucky the scottish in me didn't have him say here we fucking go!!! #also just to make it clear I fucking hate that SU comic I am not approving of it by making this just doing a meme #and yes ofc I ship them why would I not ship two of the only concepts I'm attracted to??? who cares about universe limits #IDK if its true but I once heard repo was set in Canada too so they're not even too distance in space just in time #btw I dont think he'd natrually be much shorter than her but she wears like HIGH high heels so she looks taller than him

I think that it's possible to believe that being the love interest is good for a black female character, that spuhura is a popular ship that has the fandom in a chokehold, that fans made it even more beautiful, and still recognize that 2009 spuhura wasn't greenlighted out of love for black feminism but rather to try to extinguish any gay readings of spock

#not that they succeded #hey. hey you reading. if you don't agree? don't harass. keep on scrolling. or block w/e. ✌️ #star trek aos #this is just to say that I'm tired of seeing spirk shippers being accused of racism and misogyny #when they say that spuhura was made canon to straightwash spock #and always being told ''but being the love interest is better for a black woman than being single'' #yes friend i can see that and i bet that there were people on the crew who genuinely shipped spuhura and were happy to make it real #but do you really believe that the paramount higher-ups thought about all that? #when spock has been gay-coded and gay representation for gay people for more than 50 years #it was plain and simple homophobia and I'll thank you that you don't downplay it #literally it's not even about spirk it's just that spock has been always gay coded and any reboot made ever since tos always tries to erase #that part of his character. there is no longer even space for nuance #spock is no longer portrayed as mostly disinterested in women except for extraordinary occasions #it's spock x woman or else

Shipping real people is so gross TF get a life

sending anon hate is so gross TF get a life

#anon #listen babes i have to wake up at 6am on mondays and i am NOT a morning person #so you decided to fuck with exactly the wrong person today #could i just delete this? oh yes and in fact i almost did #i have no need or desire to justify myself to you 🤷‍♂️ #but like i mentioned... i am NOT a morning person. in fact i hate everyone and everything in the mornings #and you've just given me the chance to take it out on you xx #so here goes #the thing about rpf is that it gets a really bad rep but in all honesty it's not *that* different to any other fandom culture #i say this because rpf = real person FICTION. it is inspired by the versions of public figures that we get to see on our screens #(exactly like other fanfic/shipping is about fictional characters portrayed by actors) #in neither case do the characters we are 'shipping' actually exist - and most people are perfectly aware of that #(YOU anon are probably not! but let me tell you this: the versions of celebrities *we* get to see are their public selves and #almost certainly not the same versions as who they are behind closed doors and with no cameras. AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT) #it's still a character of sorts who people are taking inspiration from. and as long as it's never brought to the attention of the real #real person in question; then there is absolutely NO harm to it #let people find joy and inspiration wherever they want; anon! #but you probably don't understand either concept ('joy' or 'inspiration') #because your idea of 'fun' is coming into other people's private fandom spaces and attempting to bring them down #like the worst kind of high school bully except that you are even more fucking cowardly because you don't even have the grace to #say anything directly to our faces. nooooo you have to hide behind the anon function because you KNOW what you're doing is wrong #dickhead. #that is all i have to say to you! #hope you have a properly awful Monday anon - as joyless and inspirationless as you evidently are xx

[archduke-enver-gortash]

posting on here is like my sisyphean boulder i'm constantly rolling tbh

#god i am trying so hard to just have fun and be myself #but when i do that i'm immediately a strange outsider creep #and since i can't really mask my version of masking is just not talking and then obviously you don’t find any joy in fandom spaces either #i will always be a shitty unlikable freak no matter how much i pretend otherwise. it was obvious from the start that getting involved in #fandom spaces was a fucking mistake. it's always a mistake because you're some laughing stock at best and a horrifying freak at worst #i don't blame people for not liking me i've realised what an awful person i am long ago #but it's always so hard witnessing something like fun social groups from the sidelines knowing you'll never be a part of it #this is why my mental state has been deteriorating so severely in the last few months. that Realisation once again nothing fucking changed #i know it's stupid to get so upset over fandom but it's only a pattern for me #i stopped trying to be friends with people when i was a teenager because it hasn't worked a single time #this attempt at integrating myself into the wotr and bg3 fandom by sharing my shit was just one mistake #gortash/zeke is so different from anybody else’s work and i wish i could find joy in something that it isn’t fucking deranged but i can’t #like yes it’s just fandom bullshit! gortash/zeke is a fucking oc x canon ship! why am i getting so upset over it! #i love writing them. i’ve never been this happy writing anything. and it’s entirely indicative of a common pattern in my life #when i earnestly share parts of myself/things i’m passionate about people get creeped out. and honestly? rightfully so #i would leave the discord servers i’m in because it’s fucking crushing me dude. this is so petty but i’m so jealous of what you people have #but in one i am server owner and i don’t want to just dump that responsibility onto someone else and then dip #and in the other two i’m not sure anyone would even notice that i’m gone but i still worry about being rude #though i’m not entirely sure i didn’t get invited to one of those just so people could laugh at me. idk probably just being paranoid but i #it’s been gnawing at me #ok no if i’m being this vulnerable on tunglr.com i can also say that part of me staying is also still having the hope that i could fit in #one day. logically i know it won’t happen but it’s nice to have hope sometimes #watching you all from through the window having fun like a creep #so yeah. i’ve always felt like this but it’s been rapidly getting worse with my failed attempt at the bg3 fandom #idk just been crying non-stop for the last few hours. went through an entire pack of tissues in an hour it’s very disgusting #they’re all lying around me as i’m typing this like a pillowfort of snot lmao #so yeah. idk. if someone could come over and lobotomise me that’d be nice. orin where are you when we need you most #i never had any friends irl so i foolishly gave this a shot. i’m sorry #also doesn’t help that i can see someone dropping me for people that are easier to be around in irl rn #it just hurts because it’s always like that. someone you are around when you have no other option at best. not even that sometimes

[sinkat-arts]

Ugh. I get why they do it, but it's aggravating to get the "so and so has posted for the first time in a while!" messages in activity. I get so few notes that I always get excited... only to see it has fuck all to do with anything I've done.

Which is shitty, because I'm feeling very 'why bother' lately, at least where art is concerned, so notes and all that jazz kind of help.

#I feel like I actively annoy people when I post art lol #like a little kid shoving stick figures in your face #yes yes that's nice dear #even in ship specific spaces #so like yes I do get excited to see one single note ha #sad right?

[what-is-it-to-be-pk-esque]

Ugh my heart 💔 I got the basically unavoidable Astarion confession scene and he was so genuinely grateful 🥺 how could I turn him down or just be friends? 😩😭

(Wtf am I gonna do about Gale, I was supposed to romance him instead lol)

I'm a dirty save scummer tho and reloaded to see everything he says (i'm obsessed and need to understand how he thinks) but WE NEED TO TALK about some of the awful ways you can navigate that convo, wtf Larian lol

#bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #dont hug him or make him sleep with you right after that wtf!!! #what kind of awful oc...!! lol #the hug isn't as bad ofc but like... come on. we were just discussing body autonomy?? lol #and consent! he deserves a hug but he's not Karlach who said multiple times she wants one #give the man some space and let him choose!! #Astarion #ugh this ship is gonna be so good i can already tell #i couldn't even watch the sex scene if you go that route - truly gave me the ick #but i'll watch it later after i get there naturally to better understand him & see all potential reactions lol #i do love that you can ask to kiss him when you're locked in - like yes girl work on that consent together 👏 #ugh i am in too deep in Astarion hell #but i love it

[vegaseatsass]

I'm so exhausted I don't really know where or how to begin my one-day weekend, have spent the day just kind of collapsed into executive dysfunctional confusion when what I WANT to do is post on tumblr about gay tv

#i wanna talk about 23.5 because the latest ep made me feral but for like side couples #i LOVE the main couples but nidabambam and mawinton make me insane #i was rooting for aro ton but now i want mawinton so badly #there's something that happens with the ships that aren't the advertised pairs so whether they happen or not isn't prescribed #i know mawintinh is what everyone on tumblr wants and it's not like i would be unhappy with that ok #but mawinton both obsessed with other people and relationships and oblivious to how they already have a boyf - #thats my shit. #tinh just seems so uninterested in mawin rn too whereas ton is laser focused #and to put a character like charoen into a yuri like come on how many of us who DIDN'T 'just know' we were not into boys #picked a dude to crush on from afar and then went EUGH STOP WHY IS THIS HAPPENING if/when he actually spoke to us #that is way too familiar a narrative to put in a GL and then resolve with her getting with a guy i'm sorry #but her and ton becoming besties who love shipping OTHER people together. hell yes lmfao #that's what i'm talking about! two people who think they like each other but actually just enjoy doing fandom together <3 #buddhism fandom and friend fiction fandom #anyway i can't believe i spent that many words on them but i'm truly invested now. FLOWERS AND KNEE TOUCHES FOR MAWINTON #and i don't even know where to begin with nidabambam?????????????????? #i thought this would be us projecting headcanon onto some women who had some nice scenes together #i didn't dare hope for ?????? lucky/unlucky protective/clumsy glorious t4t grown woman love story #what the heck i felt like my brain was unravelling as i watched them #they really stumbled(/carefully protected the other from stumbling) their way into a STARGAZE DATE #what the heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i think something magical just happens when you hit a certain point in a story and you've LET the main couples grow and evolve #so they're more or less together and it's hilarious and adorable (oh my god ongsa and aylin taking initiative oh my god) #but they also leave narrative space for MORE LOVE STORIES IN THE BEAUTIFUL ENSEMBLE #and that's where i start to lose control apparently #23.5 #23point5 #dear diary

[wraith-caller]

GOD i just saw a post talking some shit about 'how to post ur art to twitter. keep it CLEAN dont clutter it up with lots of words' like BITCH THIS ART IS AN EXPRESSION OF MY FUNDAMENTAL DESIRE TO CONNECT EMOTIONALLY WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. wym dont talk about it????

#fucks sake do not make your art marketable #do not make it content #do not make it clean and blank and curated #THAT HAS NEVER BEEN THE POINT OF IT #even just the posts themselves you are sharing something from a space inside you that NO ONE IS PRIVY TO BUT YOU #EXCEPT WHEN YOU REACHED IN THERE TO CREATE THIS #yes even the stupid cringe art #the ship art #the self indulgen art #the oc x canon art #YOU ARE NOT HERE TO BE SILENT AND ERASED AND DETACHED FROM YOUR OWN CREATION #VOMIT UP A THOUSAND WORD ESSAY ABOUT IT #IN DIRECT DEFIANCE OF THE CONSUMERIST SHIT HEADS WHO WOULD HAVE YOU SOAK YOURSELF IN ACID TO LEAVE NOTHING BUT CLEAN WHITE STERILITY #TO MAKE YOU MORE MARKETABLE #god the internet fucking sucks now

[musical-chick-13]

For the ship ask game the Ponds Doctor Who? I was going to say DoctorRiver but that felt too obvious (feel free to add them to the chart if you want anyway though)

send me ships for the shipping grid

YES. BLESS YOU.

(Sorry, if I have the chance to include Doctor/River in ANYTHING, I'm taking it, lmao)

I ACTUALLY DON'T TALK ABOUT AMY/RORY ENOUGH. But I cannot TELL you how many feelings they've given me over the years. He waited for her for 2000 years! Just to give that little extra assurance that she would be safe!! She remembered him even when he was erased from existence!!! Even when that remembrance was subconscious!!! That's my shit!!!!!!!

That scene in "Asylum of the Daleks" where she talks about how she can't have kids anymore and wants him to be able to have that, so she's trying to let him go, and then he tells her he already knew anyway. And that they'll figure it out, because the important thing is the relationship they built. The ENTIRETY of "The Girl Who Waited" (which, hmmm, did I set the "giving her my days" speech to music for a project in theory class where we had to write a chorale, yes I did!!!!!!). I also have a whole separate folder on my computer of "Amy/Rory fanvids/fanfics" so.

"TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL" OH MY GOOOODDDDDDDDDD. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 YOU WILL PRY TATM FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS.

They're not Grade-A Deranged™ in the way that the Doctor and River are (which, I think in order for a ship to completely reach the upper left corner, that has to be present) but I LOVE THEM. Amy learning that maybe someone human and grounded (who would, in most other stories, be left as the Buzzkill Second Choice) can be extraordinary and emotionally fulfilling and compelling. Breaking down the idea of what "ordinary" really means, because look at who Rory became! Amy had a lot of confusion to work through re: the state of her romantic feelings, and that kept being a source of insecurity for Rory, even after they DID get married. But they got there. And after she made her choice, she stuck to it; and even in spite of her Mess™ he was ALWAYS there for her. There was something just...very real, about their relationship, even though one of these people had two lives courtesy of a rift in the universe feeding into her brain and the other one died like ten separate times over the course of them both traveling through time and space.

Someday, I will discuss all of my Thoughts™ on Doctor/River, but that is. A giant far-reaching project for another day. But tldr, I completely understand why these two characters fell in love with each other, and it makes me into a mess at every conceivable turn. (I do wish we'd had more episodes of them, though; and I wish we'd gotten to see more of the aftermath of TATM. I think they would have benefited from both of those things.)

#this is making me realize that I need to put more amy x rory on my blog #I remember watching dw when I was like. 18. and I went 'wtf Rory is LITERALLY the ideal man' and the show actually for once #agreed with me! big win for me specifically!!!!!! #also fun fact even my dad loves doctor x river #for reference I am talking about a much older cishet man who is NOT involved in fandom outside of what I tell him and for the most part #does not understand shipping. but again: he LOVES them. #like when tnotd aired and 11 was like. interacting with her data ghost. I was crying yes but my dad was also yelling at the tv (positive) #multi t(ASK)ing #SHIP: together or not at all #otp: you are always here to me #mel screams about the Weird Little Space Show again
