#a shipper mess

[momentomori24]

Surprisingly, hearing Vox and Val technically (I love how technically needed to be added) aren't dating didn't upset me as much as I thought it would. It did... for like a minute until I thought about how painfully much it fits them.

Val throws tantrums and is ready go out and kill people to let off steam, but decides to stay put in his room and sulk instead while he waits for his flat-faced prince to come and comfort him before he does anything drastic. He's killed and abused people for the slightest hint of non-compliance, which he sees as giving him an attitude or questioning his authority, but he doesn't so much as flinch when Vox raises his voice and starts shaking him in frustration more than once. He doesn't lash out or get angry when Vox tries to talk him out of marching towards the hotel, but instead listens to his points and takes his words to heart even when they weren't what he wanted to hear. He's not interested in Alastor, but is willing to sit through watching the extermination broadcast because Vox is a passionate football dad about his one-sided rival getting dunked on. He doesn't even act jealous towards Vox's obsession, just weirdly amused and supportive even tho he hates not being the center of attention any other times. And then there's Vox, who acts like he's annoyed to have to put up with Valentino but still does it anyway. He acts disinterested about Val's ranting over Angel until he hears that Angel might've quit because he's an jealous, insecure loser that wants that mf's attention to himself. He lights his cigarette and decides to call up their lowest earners for him to terrorize without being asked just to lighten his mood a little (unrelated but i feel for their employees). He keeps his eyes on him both in his room and when he's at the pub through the cameras he's got everywhere. He takes his hand like one would with a princess and smiles fondly at him before disappearing when noticing they're being watched. He's the only person that Val trusts enough to calm him down when his temper gets the better of him. And Val-- despite his volatile temper and obnoxious quirks-- is someone he respects and cares about, both as his business associate and romantic partner.

And they aren't dating. Val and Vox clearly have a connection and understanding and attraction yet are unable to confront those feelings in fear of being vulnerable. So they aren't dating. Val obsesses over Angel and Vox obsesses over Alastor to distract themselves of the other only to fall back into each other's arms at the end of the day. Even tho they aren't dating. They celebrate, dance, sing, support and shamelessly make out with each other. They're the only ones that would put up with each other's bullshit no matter what-- but for some reason, they're still not dating. They are two of the worst Overlords in Hell, capable of committing so many despicable acts and jumping to immoral tactics for their own gain without any regrets, but opening that door into genuine emotional vulnerability? Acknowledging their softness for each other? That's where they draw the line. They're clearly made for each other, but neither of them dare to step over that line to commit to something more.

Which means that we could get to actually see these changes take place. We could get to see more sides to these two we still haven't seen before. We could get to see them actually start dating and the complicated journey it took to get there. We could get to scream and kick and seeth as these two morons continue to dance around admitting their very much requited romantic feelings for every stupid reason under the sun episode after episode. We could get to see these two fix each other and make each other worse simultaneously. Mostly make each other worse. We could get to see them have a romantic duet. We could get to see them be happy together-- officially together-- while they make life worse for everyone around them.

All this mumbo-jumbo, sleep-deprived ranting will likely not happen, but the potential character growth, the dynamic development, the resolved romantic tension, the SONGS we could get??? I'm clinging onto this hope for dear life until it's ripped from my cold, dead hands.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel vox #hazbin hotel valentino #voxval #staticmoth #only a few things make me giddier than two horrible men being less horrible when they're together #two businessmen who keep their hearts behind lock and key and refuse to acknowledge that they might actually be in love #whose actions speak louder than words even when they don't want them to #this is absolutely fueled by the bad liars comic by lola summer and how it portrayed their dynamic btw #and by the valentino animatic as well #case in point i really want some tender moments between these two and the vees in general #like please #viv please #not brushing this up have my incoherent rambling about these two in its purest form #i'm frothing at the mouth over these two and you're going to suffer through this mess with me #shoutout to all the staticmoth shippers that used viv's confirmation about them not dating to make themselves stronger you guys are awesome #momento rambles

You know that saying about how moles and freckles are places where your soulmate liked to kiss you in your past life? Imagine your f/o taking every chance they get to kiss you on those exact spots. Having them sneak a quick peck to the area and seeing them smile to themselves against the skin before they pull away. Them kissing an area where there are a lot of marks over and over again, as if they’re trying to appreciate each and every one. Them grabbing your hand and lifting it to their lips to kiss any spots there, or having them roll up your sleeve to peck any marks, having them sit in front of you to kiss any along your legs… just your f/o making sure you know they love kissing you on those specific spots <3

#this is getting the usual catchall ship tag but this post is still targeted #yamima has been doing this nonstop and it’s driving me insane #literally he will just grab my face and pull me away from whatever i’m doing to kiss a spot directly under my ear and agdkfhdk #it’s terrible because then he lets go and continues whatever it was he was doing while acting like he didn’t just DO THAT #like man i am a MESS AND YOU’RE LEAVING ME HERE :( #anyway hi self shippers how are we feeling today #no i’m not sappy. what could’ve possibly made you think that/sar #f/o imagines #imagine your f/o #self shipping #self ship #selfshipping #selfship #f/o community #romantic f/o #imagines #fictional other #quartzshipping

Me talking to my friends about Jarlaxle and Artemis. It's about toxic old man yaoi. It's about two people fundamentally seeing past each other. It's about divorcing without ever having been married. Its about throwing knives at a painted depiction of the other. It's about the regret and a full century of not being fucking normal. It's about avoiding an entire city cause you know he might be there and getting yourself kidnapped immediately after. It's about thinking how good it would feel to *stab* him with your *knife* It's about MESS. bUT ALSO ABOUT SEEING A RELATION BEING WORtH SALVAGING DESPITE THAT. ITS ABOUT HAVING GAY THOUGHTS IN A WASP COCOON... dO YOU SEE?

My friends: "okay."

#the legend of drizzt #artemis entreri #jarlaxle baenre #i am having thoughts about him #i hate the santized version alot of fans push #im not here for sweet shit im here for mess #im a loustat and Krisnix shipper i like disaster and divorce and mess

*Gendry and Arya finally get together*

Bran: pay up dummies

Theon: oh really? Years with their heads up their asses and the SECOND I make a bet

Rickon: are you really going to make us pay?

Bran: rules are rules

Jon *sees Theon pass Bran the money*: wait, you REALLY made a bet?

Theon: it's just-

Jon: no "justs". This is so wrong in so many ways! You think it's a joke? That you can use other people's lives as entertainment? Bran and Rickon are still boys, but I expected more from you, you ass

Theon: but-

Jon: I don't want to hear it. Rickon, this isn't right. Never do something like this again, no matter what Theon says

Bran: *waits for Theon and Rickon to leave, arguing among them*

Bran: I'm guessing you still want half of this?

Jon *holding out his hand*: not all of us are rich Bran

Bran *splitting the money*: was that you placing mistletoe all over Winterfell this morning?

Jon: that was probably a guardian angel. Or Cupid

Bran: I saw you buy it yesterday

Jon: some mysteries are best left unsolved

#jon watched gendry making heart eyes at arya as she started a bar brawl once and has been the number one gendrya shipper ever since #and may the gods strike him dead if he ever lets up on an opportunity to mess with theon #gendrya #gendry waters #arya stark #jon snow #theon greyjoy #starklings #house stark #asoiaf

The charlastor ship was huge after the pilot and of course vivziepop knew about it so having charlie and alastors relationship suddenly be coded as familial feels a bit petty ngl

#she can do what she wants of course it's her show but like so many things this season it wasn't built up at all #so it just feels tagged on so that alastor could have beef with lucifer #and to tell charlastor shippers (who where a huge part of the early post pilot fandom) that they're no longer welcome #cause god forbid anyone still publicly ships those two after the episode #they'll become the next victim of the rabid fandom #that's messed up #hazbin hotel #charlastor

tbh I feel the same way except I wish people would stop tagging Mumscarian with Grumbo. I do not care about Scar being there let me see the spoons!!

🤝 We are shaking hands, my friend, sometimes I just want to see two really awkward tall dorks, without the main character™

#sorry grian but almost every time i resort to reading mumscarian for the lack of mumscar its literally just scarian + grumbo #and like if its your thing then good for you #but i just need..... the tall idiots.....the awkward mess... none of the griangst. thanks #maybe it will happen eventually i would really like to see me mumscar without the other stuff #mumscar is not that popular. spare us mumscar shippers #hermitshipping #grumbo #mumscar #redscape

they're so sick for this

#the blue lock merch team really said 'let's mess with the reonagi/nagireo shippers before the breakup episode drops' #well thanks guys 🥹 now my reonagi/nagireo grieving hours has started off with more pain than i would have otherwise been subjected to #i hate it here #i've never known peace since finding out about them #idk why i'm subjecting myself to this pain when seeing it in manga form already tore me to shreds #head in hands #i can't do this anymore #reonagi #nagireo #mikage reo #reo mikage #nagi seishiro #seishiro nagi #blue lock spoilers #The Cloud Talk

it's been nearly 6 months since the ted lasso finale and im still pretty much:

#ted lasso #messing with us tedbecca shippers and giving rebecca some rando...ruining a canon ship...trying to girl boss a character- #-who you didn't even let have her own work plot when it was time... #making two men who had a beautiful relationship growth fight last minute over said girlboss and making them grossly misogynistic #leaving one of your characters in an ab*s*ve relationship was an awful woman and all the mentioned ab*s*ve moments were- #-just for sh*ts and giggles #ohhh and also making it mandatory to forgive even the sh*tty people when it's ok not to #taking your lead away from a place he was most stable and maybe or maybe not having him get back with his ex who told him he was too much.. #-got with their therapist (and you never dig deep into that mess) and maybe cheated... #yes to be with his son but there were options for him to stay in london and bring his kid and ex so they could both parent or show a- #representation of these kind of situations and maybe have henry living with each parent 6 months each and getting the best of both worlds #also your boss is more rich than she started and was providing for you your kid and ex #instead we get ted only deciding to leave after his mother told him his kid missed him (as if that isn't obvious) such a weak way to go- #-about it and tbh ted leaving his kid far away to go to london instead of like half an hour way is kind of stupid all round really #they wanted a mary poppins situation except mary poppins made some roots of her own and had connections so it didn'twork #yeah i am still...feeling a lot

The dismissal of Camila Dunne as a 'mary sue' deeply bothers me, when you've been in fandom for as long as I have and seen people grab a white dude with honestly 5% of her depth and run with it. Sidelined male characters are given complex inner lives, but a woman who displays MANY conflicting traits on screen and has motivations of her own cannot be anything but a cookie-cutter "too perfect, not realistic" characters.

Camila is loving, caring, maternal. She's also the child of immigrants and has the "stick by your man" mentality we see ingrained in latin america sexism, she won't drop the bone even if it hurts her because being the "divorced woman" is simply not a possibility that ever crosses her mind, its seen as a moral failure on her part. Which incidentally happens to line up with Billy's own morality issues and how he doesn't want to be a deadbeat dad and how they stay in this loop, feeding each other's insecurities but also helping each other. She's goal oriented and stubborn, she loves photography and is very talented at it, she resents being reduced to the "mother" and sidelined even as she loves her child more than anything, she wants to be desired and she's willing to cheat for that, even if she regrets it later, she's forgiving, but she's not willing to let Billy's ludicrous fantasies and insecurities get in the way of her happiness.

Like?? HOW is this a Mary Sue. You don't have to like her, but put some respect on her name.

#daisy jones & the six #daisy jones and the six #camila dunne #i love her loads and i AM a billy x daisy shipper #a hardcore one #but Camila's mess with Billy is exactly what makes it so compelling #also Camila and Daisy putting up fronts and these fronts getting bought by the fandom will never not be funny #considering they're the exact opposite of what they want us to see #mymeta #i guess

you and the others percy defenders are pathetic.There is so much proof and you braindead bitches refuse to see it 💀💀 can't wait to see yall cry when you'll see him getting fired and wenclair happen

Anon, I wanna thank you really. Because by sending this, you're setting an example. You're proving our point that you're just a bitter wenclair shipper who desperately wants their ship to happen. You don't want justice or raise awareness on SA and r*pe victims or an abuser to pay for his crimes. This is just a ship war to you. Just look at your message: you're all aggressive, calling us bitches when all we do is pointing out holes in the "evidence" and using logic.

I'm not mad at you though, you're probably just a teen who thinks cancel culture and activism are the same thing. Now go to sleep, kiddo. This is a school night.

#I am so sorry to all the unproblematic wenclair shippers who just want this shitshow to be done with too #this mess is going too far #percy hynes white

What do you say when people say that katara rejecting aang in eip was her saying she wasn't interested in him because it is an excuse but she was for jet

because Aang also gives her the perfect way to say that she doesn't like him and Katara doesn't take it

A: That I'm just like a brother to you, and you don't have feelings for me. K: I didn't say that. An actor said that. A: But it's true, isn't it?

All she had to say was "Yeah". She didn't and says almost word for word what Yue said to/about Sokka ("I wish we could just be friends, but I like you too much, and it's too confusing to be around you" / "Because we're in the middle of a war, and we have other things to think about right now. [...] I'm just a little confused"). That simple

I honestly think the element that EIP's balcony scene (i.e. that Katara wants to wait till after the war is over) offers to Kataang both 1) really important in contextualizing her expressions of her own crush towards him, 2) really interesting, and 3) important thematically. But post for another day maybe

Most of my thoughts on things I'd care to express in atla (shipping or otherwise) is in my atla meta tag, so I always recommend looking there first to see if I've said something you might want an answer to

#atla #pro kataang #otp: penguin sledding #rip to kataang shippers who don't like the balcony scene but i want the mess from katara's side thank u #thanks for asking #could do without the kiss maybe but like. ppl ignore everything else in that scene and it's a sham #anonymous

Do y’all really think Fabian would go to college in America (specifically Ohio) to chase after a girl who, while he cares for and misses her (bc lbr they also trauma bonded on top of having a thing for each other), dumped him over a letter and ghosted him? Like, yeah maybe they found each other again later in life after Anubis, but it would not be because Fabian was chasing after her. Why must we refuse to let him have dreams and a life outside of Nina?

#i still stand by the fact that we got to see a more interesting fabian in s3 bc of this whole mess #the kind of Fabian we briefly saw in early S1 before he and Nina became so inextricably linked #he’s a very smart guy but he’s also PROUD (like helloooo canonically confirmed) #like im sorry to fabina shippers (which i am don’t get me wrong) #but #man is not going to chase after ANYBODY #not even nina #like you really think he’s going to an american uni? man def went to like cambridge or oxford or another prestigious uni in the uk #like the ONLY way i see them rekindling is if they were invited to the same place/event like a wedding or a reunion or something #and they both actually attend #it’s POSSIBLE #but i frankly don’t think it’s a romantic notion for him to put his life on hold to find her #he’s moved on in that sense i think #he def still loves her bc you always love a first love a little #and they could and probably would work again #but cmon #house of anubis #fabian rutter #nina martin #fabina
