#but that's actually like. popular in the fandom LOL

[speakviolence]

my only post partaking in shipping drama. Reading is your choice to make, and it’s not my problem once you do LOL

the small group of dorks on here/twitter crying about ghoulcy are doing so bc it’s popular, and arguably, more popular than the canon ship. They would not give a single fuck if this ship was contained to niche sections of fandom on the internet. Like. That’s it. Popularity fuels hatred, this is a very common practice on the internet. Stop getting into slap fights with people who don’t like your ship.

Drama over a non canon ship with two adults in it, MIND YOU LMAO. An actual controversial/questionable ship would kill some of you, no doubt.

And stop tagging your anti shit in the ship tags. That’s literally begging for attention then getting mad when you receive it from a group you instigated drama from.

Please get a grip, yall. It is fiction.

#ghoulcy #vaultghoul #I really try to avoid drama but I had to say something #get a hobby get a job get fucked idk #just smth baby cuz this insanity is not normal #and btw posting in a ship tag is just…going to suggest that tag/posts to you??? like #back in my day we used anti tags and anyone who posted in the reg tags was deservedly mocked

[undying-lilies]

This might be a weird thing to ask, but will you tell me about some of your favorite non-canon OTPs (as mentioned on your Valentine's Day post), and your headcanons about them?

girl that's not weird at all!! I would be THRILLED to share them :D

one thing about my non-canon OTPs is that they are so non-canon, in fact, that it's impossible for them to ever BE canon. I mean they both involve a character that literally has one scene and little to no lines. neither of these couples have ever even met on-screen and they probably never will, but is that gonna stop me? absolutely not

first off, let me introduce you to the gloriousness that is Jacen Syndulla and Paige Tico

(Paige Tico is Rose Tico's sister from The Last Jedi who sacrificed herself by blowing up her ship for the rebellion, but we're going to ignore that last bit for ultimate fluff purposes and also because on this blog we ignore every character death ever)

their ship name is Paicen

they meet in a marketplace on Lothal

Paige and Rose are looking for an important ship part because their ship broke down, but it's hard to find and they're getting frustrated. so the first time Jacen sees Paige is when she's yelling at someone for not having the part they need

and he thinks

that is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life

so, in true Kanan fashion, he goes over to Paige and tells her very smoothly that he'd be very happy to fix up her ship for her because what a coincidence, he just so happens to be a mechanic! but Paige, oh boy Paige, she takes this the wrong way and starts yelling at HIM for being a hotshot pilot and she can do it herself, thank you very much, and if he doesn't know how to find a chip for a standard nav reader then he should GET LOST

and, also in true Kanan fashion, Jacen has two thoughts:

A) I think I'm in love with you

B) oh no I messed up

he apologizes for assuming that she needed help and Paige just stares because ... she wasn't expecting an apology. this guy is definitely not who she thought he was. they get on the same page, they laugh it off and introduce themselves and exchange contact information and eventually go on a date (which is very successful)

they're like the next-generation version of Kanera: just very lovey dovey and sweet and in love with each other

Jacen brings Paige flowers all the time (and roses for Rose because he's a gentleman)

a silly headcanon I have is that when Jacen turned 16 he turned into a "heartthrob" and suddenly ALL the girls were falling over themselves to get him to notice them ... he doesn't even have to do anything, he just walks into the room and they all swoon. the only girl who didn't swoon immediately was Paige 😌

when I was first obsessed with them like two years ago, way before the Ahsoka show aired, both Jacen and Paige had only one (1) canon scene and little-to-no lines. and I was like, well that clearly means they're soulmates. they're perfect for each other

now let me introduce you to my other favorite non-canon OTP: Crosshair and Bultar Swan

(Bultar Swan is canonically Plo Koon's padawan - yes he did have a padawan, you're welcome - and she's in the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones! and also she doesn't have much of a canon personality, so for the sake of ultimate fluff once again, we're going to say that she's similar to Luna Lovegood & spaces out a lot & is also very connected to the Force. just a very traditional Jedi)

THEIR ship name is Sniper Swan

Paicen was love at first sight? These two are a slowburn. A really, really, really slow slowburn

they first meet in the Clone Wars, but there's nothing particularly special about it. Bultar goes on a couple missions with the Bad Batch and they work well together. she and Crosshair make a good team in battle. it's all business-like and on friendly terms

Bultar is a very peaceful person - she doesn't use her lightsaber a lot, and she prefers to talk things through before resorting to extreme things like violence. she genuinely respects all the clones and thinks of them as people, just like her

Crosshair sees this, because he sees a lot of things with his enhanced vision, and he doesn't understand it. he tries to poke and prod at her to try and get her to crack, to snap back at him like other Jedi might, but she doesn't. she takes all of his cutting and snide remarks with patience and calmness and eventually he mirrors the patience back. he can ask her questions that normally others would start an argument with him over it, whereas she just gives him a realistic logical answer

they know each other for years before they even think about catching feelings for each other as a possibility

depending on the timeline - canon, No-Order-66 AU, Adoption Magnet even (👀) - they get together in different ways

but it usually goes something like this: after years of knowing each other, Crosshair starts catching feelings for her - and of course because it's Crosshair it takes him a long time to admit that, even just to himself - while Bultar is as oblivious as Adrien Agreste when it comes to Marinette. she has no clue until someone (either Wolffe or her own clone captain) tells her about it and warns her to stay away from Crosshair for her own good

poor Bultar who's been raised in the Jedi Temple her entire life has no idea what to do with this information - people are capable of falling in love with her? she's capable of falling in love? - so she has a bit of a mental crisis

she takes some time to think through everything, carefully process her thoughts and emotions and feelings - and when she has successfully done so, she's surprised to find that she ... does, actually, like Crosshair back

it still takes them a bit to get together but all things considering, it's MUCH much shorter than the other stages of their relationship XD

Crosshair keeps Bultar grounded in the moment and Bultar helps Crosshair be more comfortable with showing emotions and being vulnerable <3

man that got long XD technically I have one more I invented - Korkie Kenobi Kryze and Soniee, one of his classmates from that one Clone Wars arc - but I don't have nearly as many headcanons for those two lol. Hope you enjoyed getting to hear about my non-canon OTPs!! (I know I had a great time typing this all out hehe)

#thank ye for the ask! #paicen #sniper swan #star wars #jacen syndulla #paige tico #bad batch crosshair #bultar swan #oh i also hardcore ship foxiyo too #but that's actually like. popular in the fandom LOL

Bluepoch gave us the gift of barely-subtext tragic sapphic-centric media do NOT throw that away.

Context regarding PJSK and Undertale under cut.

Project Sekai cast is dominated by female characters but mlm is more popular, meanwhile Undertale has canon wlw rep and oh my god they’re at the bottom. I have nothing against these fandoms or media (I’m literally currently/was in them) but yeah. I just HOPE r99 doesn’t end up in a similar state.

#mochagaming #if r99 ever gets even more popular and people somehow manage to out-yaoi the yuri i may actually buy a gun #‘write more yuri then’ I AM <3 AND LETS KEEP WRITING YURI R99 NATION #this is an irrational fear btw #especially since the fandoms i previously in kept fixating on the men in women-centric media #which is not bad #good for them #but its alienating for me LOL #thankfully rn r99 fandom is still diligent woman appreciators so thanks guys #keep it up #I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST MEN OR MLM #I JUST REALLY NEED THAT SAPPHIC SPOTLIGHT #LET THIS DESPERATE LESBIAN DREAM THAT HER FAV GAME STAYS YURIFUL #(because fandom activity genuinely affects the game itself so…) #reverse 1999 #I am not trying to discourage any form of fandom content #But if I see someone complain about ‘lack of men’ in this game I… I genuinely dont know??? what to say??? #we dont even have enough lesbian rep. it is always cast aside. #it should be prioritized (by bluepoch) i think #like to charge reblog to cast

honestly my best guess to why people are anxious regarding sending asks is that they see you as either a popular person or a scary/menacing one (thanks to the contents of this comic) and so, they get nervous about sending asks. or something like that. i can't read minds i can only make guesses.

wild, sweet though

#not residuum #residual asks #why do people think residuum is popular #i promise you its not lol #but tbf i dont actually know how many followers residuum has #so maybe it is??? but idk i never see anyone talk about it outside of like #segregated discord areas #but im only in like one discord #residuum is just a niche part of the fandom i think

[bdoubleowo]

i do not get the insistence that tumblr sexymen “gotta be pathetic” like. not. really??? bill cipher and sans undertale, classic sexymen who are known for being incredibly overpowered. wheatley and onceler, characters who started off a litte/very pathetic and grew to be overpowered. There is perhaps an aspect of patheticness, especially angst, but they tend to have genuine power behind it.

#patheticness isn't even on the sexypedia trope list. not even by another name. #YES sans is made cooler by the fandom but. sans is the hardest boss fight in the game ToT #they make him edgier not more powerful #i know i'm not really subscribing well to what sexymen actually are but that's not really what this poll is about at this point #its a glorified popularity contest lol #the second clown and rt got voted out was when it was decided it wasn't really about sexymen now was it #to be clear i'm not like. attacking people who claim this or am i even really mad at them for it. just a bit confused. #og post

the disparity in kudos between a skk fic and a fic for literally any other bsd characters/ship :/

#like okay i get it skk is the most popular bsd ship by a longshot #but it does kinda suck that my skk fics will always end up being more popular than literally anything else i write for bsd #when i have way better fics tbh #okay i'm unleashing this from my drafts lol #like i get it kudos/hits/bookmarks counts aren't telling of how good a fic is #but out of my last five fics. my skk one has ONE HUNDRED kudos more than the next most kudos #and idk it also sucks that i know my skk is better than 90% of the fandom but. even my skk fics get significantly less kudos/etc #than big writers in the fandom who AREN'T EVEN GOOD #or are like. mid at best #i know in theory that the bsd fandom doesn't care about characterization but like. not only do they encourage bad characterization #it feels like sometimes they're actively against good characterization #even in j.jk and a.tla where there are major issues with bad characterization #more people seem to at least appreciate the good characterization. (even if they aren't good at it themselves.) #but i swear to god no one in the bsd fandom cares about anything besides whether dazai and chuuya are kissing. it begins and ends there. #it never ceases to amaze me (derogatory) how a fandom where the source media draws So Much inspiration from classic literature #can somehow have NEGATIVE media literacy skills #why don't you guys take a break from your edgy dazai x softboy chuuya fics and you fems.kk with dazai in skimpy clothes and your #beast chuuya sobbing and killing himself over dazai's death #and go read some of the books by the actual authors. and then write me an essay about the themes that has nothing to do with shipping. #and THEN you can come back to the fandom. #listen i love skk but oh my god sometimes the fandom makes me hate them. #anyway one of these days i'm going to get anon hate for complaining about the bsd fandom so much but that's fine #at least i know there are characters in the show besides dazai and chuuya. and when i do write skk AT LEAST I DO IT RIGHT. #hello grace here

[videoviolence]

stupid thing to complain about but in the internet hemisphere it sucks when you hear someone say they like "slasher movies" and you know inevitably that 9 times out of 10 it will never mean anything more then they like scream or the big three or black christmas . because other slasher movies from that decade that deserve the limelight just dont have the same, idk, 'yaoi' appeal or characters that fandoms can strip of their main source to project whatever they want onto them . like maniac or pieces or blood rage or edge of the axe or the burning or mortuary or whatever will never be That popular or ever mean anything in "slasher fandom" spaces cuz theres just no audience for it . it sucks that you have to really seek these convos out & all that artistry and passion goes down th drain .

#and this is not me like . actively shaming people for headcanons or shipping or whatever else but I feel like if you Prioritize that #over the actual story & character studies & other technical aspects of movies that could be celebrated . im gonna side eye you #just because 'fandom' as a mindset has become the go-to consumable method of watching Any movie without having to turn your brain on #idk it sucks . and this is Obviously a bigger issue then just in slasher tumblr spaces because then it leads to alot of people who get like #viscerally upset when horror movies of that time deliver on horrifying concepts just because theyre getting their safe bubble popped #that protects them and only permits them to see these Fleshed Out Characters as nothing more then bait for imagines or ship fodder . #instead of fucked up people . and not mischaracterized x reader's #AND I LIKE BLACK CHRISTMAS AND THE BIG THREE ETC ETC ofc i do . this is not me shaming these movies for their understandable popularity #its just disheartening more then anything lol #hudson.txt

[grey-lark]

Not gonna lie, there is an non-insignificant part of me that thinks it would be hilarious to make Jackrabbit a Steve/Tommy/Carol fic at the last minute and just end with ‘Congrats, you unknowingly read over 200,000 of crack ship!’

#jackrabbit underneath #i mean I'm not going to but i still think about it #what can I say i really like those assholes #and i think it would be funny to suddenly commit to one of the least popular ships in this fandom lol #also season 4 kind of made me go 'you know I don't think Nancy really wants to do romantic relationships actually' #and the writers' attempts at making Stancy a thing again only made me double down on that being a bad idea for both of them #i'm still a fan of post S3 reconciliation Stoncy though #so like with many things we're just gonna ignore S4

The Sanders Sides to Dream smp to Life Series/HC/Empires/etc pipeline is real and someone needs to say it

#like i was watching hc before sanders sides but if you were to actually look at my art this is the timeline #and i know of several other people who went down this same exact track of fandoms #literally was someone's 3rd youtube subscriber for their sanders sides content then they got popular for dsmp and then did life series #then they fell off the face of the earth but they're doing minecraft videos now lol #anyways this is my proof #thatnks for coming to my ted talk if you actually read the tags #life series #trafficblr #hermitcraft #hermitblr #dsmp #sanders sides #mo speaks

Really digging out the old OCs now; Pan-na, Pilok, Azalea, squirrel boys Will and Damien, and Cupid and Venus <3 (Patreon)

#Doodles #Original #The Original Onslaught has begun >:) *stock maniacal laughter* #Lots of old faces! Lots of unfamiliar faces haha #You might actually recognize the last two individual boys as Blind Willie and Big Boy - those two I've Actually posted over here lol #The rest not so! Goshdang! I actually don't think I post Azalea much of anywhere lol like Maybe once on DA? Possibly? Heck #Same with Pan-na now that I think of it actually she's a Tomodachi Life-specific character haha #I had a few that despite not being fandom-tied I just can't get rid of to make room <3 They're residents! I'd miss them! #I really spoiled Pan-na - lots of cute clothes and a pretty room - so she gets special treatment in doodles too haha #Pilok was made while I was really into making original species on DA - anyone else here fill out the long development sheet? Fun stuff haha #I wish I'd finished a few more memes that got popular on DA back then ♪ Like the OC Remix! Very fun I made a rough of one years ago #Looking at Pilok now she kinda reminds me of the aliens from the DBZ special where Bardock gets sent to the past lol #Azalea was another random design that got a few doodles 'cause I thought she was edgy and cool haha #A more animalistic take on a stomachmouth - I don't think she can talk even she's just shaped like a humanoid maybe to blend in? Dunno #Oh looking back at my notes she was only supposed to have three fingers lol oh well #I don't think I ever drew her with her stomach open either but I'm pretty? sure I always imagined it being teeth-lined haha #Chomp #Squirrel boys! If you remember a few years ago I tried to draw Will again and was like ''>:?your face'' lol - I think I got it better now! #Still not 100% but better! He has very Shaped features haha #Big Boy turned out silly haha very one-large-anime-eyed - he deserves it lol #His hair falling over itself looked cool in my early doodles :0 Careful lines! Not so careful now lol #And Buzz is just missing haha #And finally Cupid and Venus <3 <3 I don't remember now but those two and their third girlfriend Spider might've been my first polycule? :0 #These two were a couple before inviting her in tho haha - there's a whole big backstory of how they met and all that #Venus was one of the main characters in Other Side of the Gun and then split off into her own side story with Cupid- It's a whole Thing #They're very sweet tho <3 I love them ♥ #Kinda seasonal for Cupid haha I didn't plan that! Her favourite holiday is Valentine's Day of course

okay but like, the nekoma vs karasuno match isn’t going to be the only game in the next film right? like i do think it should get its own film, but if there’s only two movies, there’s no way the second film can cover literally everything that comes after not the rest of nationals not graduation not brazil and certainly not the msby black jackals vs schweiden adlers game. the second film is just going to be 2 hours of montage to get thru everything who decided this

#i’d rather wait 5 years for an actual last season #tho even a full 20+ ep season probably isn’t enough to cover everything #i’d wait a decade for a properly animated end to haikyuu like it’s worth it #why do anime production companies make such bad decisions??? #the haikyuu fandom is so large and dedicated you don’t need to get two films out quickly #to ‘capitalise on the hype’ or w/e #maybe that makes sense for a show like jjk or w/e other shonen of the year #but haikyuu’s had steady popularity for a full decade it’s a safe bet omg #haikyuu #im late to this convo but i literally just got caught up okay lol

Sketchbook doodles since I’m testing out a new pen. Ended up combining sketches of two of my current tv show obsessions....

#fanart #severance #severance apple tv plus #stranger things #stranger things 4 #steve harrington #steve #mark #mark s #sketchbook #the pen i'm using is the pilot g-2 0.38 pen and it's been great to use! #i was looking for a dupe for the muji 0.38 pens and i actually like the pilot ones better since there's a better grip on it #drawin fanart for two ends of the fandom popularity meter lol #severance spoilers #spoilers #stranger things spoilers #stranger things 4 spoilers #also the post it note profile sketch of mark is like the most accurate sketch i've done that actually looks somewhat like adam scott lol

[coolspacequips]

I think if all ppl can say about allura is that she's an obstacle to kl or that she's dead to be kl angst or that ppl shipping her w Lance suck then maybe just don't talk about her ever LMAO

#ppl will truly be like 'Lance is bi 😊 but yuck allurance is het trash' bi means liking more than just ur same gender fuck u lol #i love kl but i can't fuck w the fans too much at large bc they love to talk about k and l screwing on alluras grave if they remember her #just say ur hateful and go dont bring allura into this didn't the show treat her bad enough FUCK #at least l fans there's a 50/50 chance they recall dead dead out of the way of Keith allura with some kindness #but k fans it's a 75% chance they hate her and go out of their way to talk about how awful she is and gotta say i don't trust like that #u can dislike any character for whatever reasons but the optics on this are bad and the specific things they say are red flags fr #so many ppl say Lance is bi bc it's a popular fanon to explain he's a flirt w girls but we actually want him to be gay #instead of actually saying it bc they think he's bi... the whole fandom was/is specifically v biphobic #i hc everyone as bi and that means sometimes it's a mf ship but it's still queer like come on #anyway this is for no one I'm just idek bye #text posts #might just delete this I'm so tired 😫 #not even to touch on specifically the misogynior of it all #it's 2024 and I'm still seeing fresh takes that are the exact same shitty takes from years ago

[bisexualdinahlance]

Sometimes I think it's less about the canon het romance lacking chemistry and more about people thinking the two guys are hot and so they WANT them to have more chemistry... Even when they don't lol

#fandom wank #this isnt actually about anything specific i just hate when people act like just bc a ship is popular #thats bc its actually a better ship with more chemistry than the alternative #like i remember clint coulson or whatever #most boring ship of all time did they even interact on screen?? #sometimes the gay ships are boring too lol #sometimes they dont have great chemistry #chatter

[dumpsterrabbitsotherblog]

Gonna be silly and start tagging my dsaf art as fnaf as well, especially feral

#This is actually because fnaf is a much bigger fandom and I really really want to get popular enough to open commissions #Also I'm thinking about opening commissions #But they'll be a touch expensive because I do enjoy having food and water #So like £50 pounds for a full effort one like the circus rabbit one since I can't add a popularity fee yet lol
