The 'Grace and Frankie' writers heard your complaints about Robert and Sol being a terrible couple and decided to add Grace/Nick, Bud/Allison and Brianna/Barry to the show to make them look better in comparison

#grace and frankie #robert hanson #sol bergstein #no but really why is every couple on this show straight-up trash #i used to like barry and brianna but she's an 11 and he's like a 3 and yet he's always whining? bitch. #i'd put anti tags in there but i don't know the ship names

[binalakai]

hey im kai! you can also call me roach, if you already know a kai in your life because i know how many noncis mfs are named that

im a 21 genderfluid filipino dyke with she/he/it pronouns, i occasionally post my art on @binalakarchive , where all my OCs (at least as much as i show publicly) and fandom art/cleaned up discussions go there. i also do commissions sometimes, best to contact me through that blog!! otherwise, i treat this blog like a neverending journal. i've grown up with it, and on god am i going to use it as such.

in a perfect world where i wouldn't need to establish boundaries, i would not even bother with a post like this, but the more people i follow/that follow me come across it's somewhat necessary soooo

DNI or like. BYF if you're not gonna listen to me anyway: (warning: it's long and text heavy. tldr; don't be weird to me, communicate with me like you would with a real life person because that's what i am, and we'll get along fine)

-basic dni huge bigot (racist, TERF/transphobic, homophobic, etc etc) stuff but if i catch that onto your blog anyway when you follow me i'll block you.

-if you post a lot of doomer stuff/are against mental health care in general, you best keep distance, honestly. its taken a long time for me to not open my wounds and delusions constantly towards the internet if it meant being valid in my mental illnesses. i'd rather not enter that era again.

-i dont get the whole "proship and antis" culture that happens, but for both sakes of people, if you identify with any of those things you might not like my blog too much. i love being critical and analytical of "problematic things", but i'll still discuss them openly n freely. dni if you'll be offended if i diss on ships/approaches to subjects that make me uncomfortable n find comfort in being critical abt it, and dni if you'll be offended if i diss on the idea that media with triggering topics should not have an outlet period.

-if you'll be offended if i block you out of the blue, doesn't apply to close friends/mutuals i just mean with randos who post takes i dont like or cause too much stress in tags i browse.

-if you're gonna get in huge trouble over seeing dirty jokes and crass humor in public you best not follow me. i try best to tag my stuff, but last thing i wanna do is have a stern talk about it.....which is why i also am wary about people under 18 following and will be a lot more liberal on blocking younger minors for their sake or people i assume won't vibe with me period

-if your parents have access to your social media and there's a chance i'll be DM'd by any of them. i dont wanna talk to any of your parents. if you have an issue with me, i'm more than happy to talk about things directly. (ESPECIALLY FOR BUSINESS RELATED REASONS LIKE COMMISSIONS. IT'S HAPPENED A LOT ALREADY DUE TO OTHER PARTY'S FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES I CANNOT FUCKING CONTROL. STOP IT. ITS ANNOYING AND A PAIN TO HANDLE.)

-if you get too involved with online drama/disputes. i'm not going to reblog a callout for you. if you get even slightly bothered by that statement, do not get close to me period for the sake of boosting callouts.

-if you have specific niche triggers that need to be tagged. i try to do catch alls or basic ones, but i genuinely CANNOT keep track of all my mutual's blacklists. my mind will slip and id rather not put someone in danger/i wanna keep that risk very very low

okay thankies <3 sorry these are so specific, i just wanna be insane on the internet in the safest way possible

#about

[madefate]

NAME?: claire

PRONOUNS?: she / they

MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?: blitzø, loona, bee, striker

RP PET PEEVES?: honestly idek anymore ?? the usual stuff bothers me - shitty anons, really excessive drama, etc. one niche pet peeve is when people assume that being "anti" whatever - uncritically shipping adults and minors and things along those lines - makes you some sort of militant prude? i simply feel the world is hard enough & the least you can do is tag your shit. but for the most part if i don't like something i just block & move on, and i never find any trouble these days.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?: i was talking about this with clarke & boy oh BOY, so technically i started a letter writing game with my best friend when i was a sophomore in high school, & then the next year was introduced to the world of xanga & i've never been the same. so - about 17 years!

EXPERIENCE?: looseleaf or emails, xanga, various forums, skype, tumblr, occasionally discord

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT?: honestly i'm an angst bitch. i was never really comfortable with writing smut until more recently, but even then i'm just like? mostly fine with it. fluff is super cute for little things, but it doesn't always spark my ADHD brain if there's not enough plot. angst is where it's AT for me - DIG into the trauma, LASH out, HAVE those ptsd responses, GET mad, DISCOVER something new! it doesn't even have to be angst - things like action! drama! whatever's really juicy and forces the characters to change / grow / admit something / break down / develop over the course of the thread, that's what i WANT.

PLOTS OR MEMES?: MEMES PLS. again, embracing ADHD here but 9 times out of 10, if i try to plot something i literally don't know what to say (unless it's an AU / canon divergence, etc). i'd rather just someone send me an ask or starter and i can let my thoughts race and write something that feels organic.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?: i write so. fucking. much. and i won't apologize. however! i've been having fun w/ one liners recently.

TIME TO WRITE?: i try to type away at things at work, like draft some replies, but usually it's evenings and weekends!

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: oh you mean the trauma of always feeling like you're failing and needing to be needed? lmao yes absolutely. however! since i'm a healthy bitch now, i ALSO put my therapy lessons into them! (eventually.) i also like to give my characters some of my own quirks or hobbies, so sometimes you get a little claire easter egg ;) obviously there are huge differences, but my emotions totally affect the characters i'm drawn to.

tagged. @fizzarollitm & @helldustedstories ty bbs! tagging. steal it from me!

[smittenshippingweek]

This post will be updated with any new info, so if you're looking for something specific, this is a good place to go!

Dates: May 18th - May 24th

Prompts: Here!

Tags: #smittenshipping week 2023, #smittenshipping week, #ss week dark (for anything that may include triggering or angsty content, e.g. blood or sad endings - block this if you don't want to see that stuff)

Extra info under the cut! (Rules, my socials, etc)

What is this blog?

To put it simply, the main blog for smittenshipping week! A place for me to share artwork, writing and anything else people may create, or announce important things like prompts, dates and more!

What is smittenshipping?

Smittenshipping is the name for the ship of Galactic Commander Mars and Galactic Commander Jupiter from Pokemon (diamond, pearl, platinum, brilliant diamond, shining pearl)! Also sometimes referred to as sinfulshipping, however the name smittenshipping is used here as referring to a queer ship as 'sinful' is a little problematic. As this is a rarepair however, I will use both tags to hopefully reach more people.

General Rules?

-I will not be sharing or including anything problematic, including proship. This may seem obvious or like a silly rule, but any romanticised depictions of unhealthy relationships will not be included here. Angst is okay, but I won't share anything gross.

-NSFW will also not be shared here, as I want to keep the blog SFW. I don't mind it being made though!

-Background ships are okay, as long as they follow the other rules (aka not nsfw or proship).

-Please don't make your submissions anti smittenshipping. This is supposed to be a week of appreciation for the ship after all.

-Poly is also okay, if you want to do something with that - e.g. including Saturn or someone else (as long as again, is isn't gross). You can also make it platonic if you'd like! Just make sure smitten is the focus.

- It's okay if things are late, but please wait until the week/day to post things. Don't share it early, as then it isn't really smittenshipping 'week' anymore.

-You don't have to complete every day - feel free to only make one post if you'd like! It's up to you! You also don't have to use the prompts if you don't want to. Be creative!

-This isn't necessarily a rule, but please tag me in your posts! I'd love to see and share them, and I can't guarantee that I will otherwise. If you have the smittenshipping week tags on your post though, I may also see it! I'll certainly try my best to share as much as I can.

-Have fun! Don't stress about perfection or push yourself too hard, breaks are important too!

Do you have any other accounts?

My main account is @galacticjester, and my sideblog is @incorrect-pokevillains! I have an art instagram too (@/renegade.nyx)

Hopefully this is everything - if I've missed something, feel free to let me know in an ask and I'll answer and add it here! Also feel free to ask any other questions you may have!

[almostbeabeauty]

Some people are obviously checking the anti tag and Helaemond shippers' blogs because there's no way they randomly came across your posts, yet we're the bad ones and for what, coming up with theories they disagree with? Big deal, why is it so hard for them to block us though? (I'm also pretty sure one of your anons is a well known anti from Twitter who's known for sending anon hate and stalking others, the message sounds a lot like them lmao, they're not very slick) Tbh I don't personally think Phia and Gayle are going to look alike that much when the latter is going to be wearing a black haired wig, but to say they don't resemble each other at all pretty delusional. They do, especially from certain angles, it's fine to admit it as it's highly likely the casting directors didn't specifically look for an actress similar to Phia anyway. However the denial some have over Helaemond and Alimond is pretty interesting. IMO they may very well be dropping the Helaemond thing in S2 despite playing with it in S1 (confirmed by legitimate leaks), but the Alimond subtext/Aemond's mommy issues are pretty obviously going to a major thing in his relationship with Al*s, denying this won't make it go away.

They most definitely stalk some Helaemond blogs. The way certain Helaemond friendly blogs will get hate as soon as their anonymous asks are turned back on. Yeah, how did they know it was back on unless you've been following their blog or stalking it.

They don't want Helaemond's to put out theories because deep down they must be worried those theories could happen. And when most people don't like something they want to live in denial. As to why they don't block OR at least blacklist the tags they don't want to see.. I have no idea.

Perhaps they are nosy and need to see what others have to say on the matter, even though they don't like it. Hey, I've been there. I've needed to see the theories and metas of my NOTPs before, to see if I thought the ship had a leg to stand on or not. But you know what you don't do after you do that? You don't send anon hate. Seriously. Making a real life person feel shitty over fictional characters is not it! It will never be it!

The one thing we disagree on is, I think the casting decision on the actress of Alys looking similar to Phia was a deliberate choice. But as others have pointed out, the actress also looks quite a bit like Daemon, who we know Aemond idolizes right now. Alicent's name, looks similar to his sister and uncle, has visions similar to his sister, and is supposedly a strong bastard just like his nephew he was obsessed with. She's like all of his obsessions rolled into one and I think the show is purposely playing on that.

I don't think they will drop the Helaemond relationship in s2 - why would they even bother setting it up otherwise - but they definitely could.

There is a reason the show made Aemond so close to his mother before he meets Alys. They made him the golden boy and now he's about to fall from grace in her eyes. Their relationship will most like never be the same (Alicent will always love him. She loves her kids unconditionally.) and that will take it's toll on Aemond since he's never had to face her disappointment like Aegon has.

We have Alys's audition leak and she says to Daemon "it's a pity you never had a mother." Umm.. why did this even need to come up? It didn't but the writers wrote it for a reason. If was shipping Aly$mond, I'd be worried right then and there about her playing on Aemond's mother issues.

#sorry this reply is so late #thanks for the ask #and you were right about pretty much everything! #anti alysmond #don't send anon hate people #block people or blacklist tags #it's so easy not to see the content you don't want to see #now i welcome anons that want to debate or have proof where I'm wrong with evidence behind them #ask #anonoymous

[keagan-ashleigh]

I have some new followers so I guess it's time to do another little presentation post 😌

About me

Hi! My name is Keagan, but also Clémentine (my birthname - you can use both, you can call me Clem too). I am currently 34, I live in France (in the south), and I am a graphic designer and illustrator - and hopefully in a couple months aspiring web designer 🤞

I am a proud bisexual & greysexual (I'll often just say "ace").

And I am nonbinary: I think genderfluid - I identify as woman sometimes but many other times this just makes me feel like it's not really me, it doesn't quite fit. I identify sometimes as a woman - I identify with what women experience also, I am a feminist and my experience is one of a woman, and although I don't identify as woman most of the time I feel to be part of it - and most of the time as nothing at all.

Edit, I forgot the pronouns : she/they (elle/iel or ael in french); I don't have preferences, but I've been called "she" all my life and very rarely experienced being addressed with "they" so I'd really like people to use it more. 😊

Also I am disabled: I am autistic - not diagnosed yet but I have just started the process of getting it diagnosed. I also have dyscalculia, and chronic pain (my squeleton is sliiightly crooked, not much but enough to cause me immense pain 🥲 - in knees, back, and hips) - I also have generalised anxiety disorder and depression. And I am short-sighted and I have tinnitus, and a couple other things.

I have been touched by a bitch of a fairy at birth I tell you 😂

I am very open about all of this so if you happen to need someone to talk to about those subjects, I'm here, I can't provide answers but I can share my experiences.

About my blog(s)

I have a blog for my art here: @keagan--ashleigh ; both are me, I've just put an extra dash as to not confuse people when they see 2 usernames interacting with them 😅

I have been on this blue hell since 2012, at first I had an aesthetic blog but it very quickly became a social justice blog, and I created a side blog (this one) for fandoms, at first mainly spn, then BBC Sherlock, and although I kept the title and decorum it returned to its multifandom/multisubjects state.

I also talk about other subjects occasionally, it's not a one-subject blog, I often blog & reblog funny stuff, social justice, etc.

I occasionally post in french but I have associated Tumblr with english strongly - I will maybe introduce a bit more of french in here idk.

I usually liveblogs Eurovision, the past years I have been doing that on Twitter bc it's hard to livetweet and liveblog at the same time but if twitter goes down I'll come back here lmao. And on twitter I also sometimes livetweet Top Chef in french but I might to that in here as well if I can't on Twitter idk - is there an audience for that here idk 😅

Most of my french specific stuff where on twitter, like I said I have associated tumblr with english and international stuff, and I don't know how I'll gonna get my french internet experience back in tumblr, we'll see but maybe you'll see more of my french specific stuff in the future, or I'll make a third side blog idk yet.

Worth to note I have a tagging system on both my blogs - and I tag the spoilers (unless for some reason I forget).

I often vent in the tags - it was, in this regard, better when ops couldn't see the tags in their notifications :o) I feel exposed now 😭

My ask box is always open.

About fandoms and opinions

My fandoms are: BBC Sherlock, Supernatural, Marvel, Our Flag Means Death, What We Do In The Shadows, Good Omens, Doctor Who, etc

My favorite ships: johnlock, destiel, Aziraphale & Crowley, lokius, nandermo, gentlebeard, 13th & Yaz, etc

About opinions and discourses:

I am a ship and let ship kind of person but that doesn't mean I approve of everything. I will never use the terms proshipper/anti because those words have been bastardised and the definition changes everytime I see it show up - so it's better if I just tell you what I like and don't like: I do not like incest ships, I do not like pedo ships, I am not against the fact of writing about those things but I don't like them being romanticised and glorified even. And no I don't think "it's ok because it's fiction" - whether it be fanwork or else what is written or shown in fiction has an impact on the real world, always, in a positive or negative way.

I will not engage in discourses about that though because it is tiring and useless.

I will not engage in ageist discourses either because - yes I think it's stupid to say fun has an end for people when they reach 30 but time will prove ageist people wrong and it's just sound stupid to me to have fights with literal kids over this. I'd rather enjoy my shit in my corner and not bother or be bothered by any of this.

I see a lot of ageism and condescendance from older people as well and I don't like that, being young doesn't mean people's inputs and opionions are wrong. About the fact joy must end at 30, yes, but cutting the discussions short (on various subjects) with "young people are so prude now / they don't enjoy anything/ yadda yadda"... no. No let's not do that. Times are changing and maybe some things we thought were ok then are not ok now and before we shut them up I think maybe we should listen and question what we think is true, let's not become the boomers of this generation ok, let's keep our minds open and be critical of ourselves first, we might at worst expand our worldview. And of course it goes both ways. Respect goes both ways.

At large, I will mostly enjoy my stuff and not engage with negativity, i do not have the mental health to deal with that, if people are wrong let them be wrong in their corners. Not saying I will never engage in any sort of argument but I'd rather stay away from most (especially those 2 I mentioned). I will never stop criticise mofftiss and Sherlock s4 though 😂

I also do not like ship hate.

I am uncomfortable with shipping real people but I am not against it of course do as you please as long as you don't overstep & be rude with the real people you're shipping.

And also, if I see someone implying a real person is "queerbaiting" because they appear queer & bully them into coming out I will virtually slap you in the head, ok, real people don't queerbait, period.

Last thing: I stand with the L, the G, the B, the T, the A, and all the other letters of that beautiful acronym so if you don't include trans people and ace people: please begone. :)

And also I try to be inclusive, I will not overstep and speak above other communities but I will try my very best to listen and forward those people's voices. I will not engage in discussions/arguments I am not meant to be a part of. I will try my best to take my part in making bigots feel unwelcome.

This blog, and all my accounts here and elsewhere are meant to be safe spaces for LGBTQIAP+, POC, disabled people, etc.

About me (again) - hobbies & creation

I happen to make fanarts, and I write fanfics and ficlets, I also do fanplaylists. Writing is one of my hobbies beside drawing, I also do photography, and I have recently started sculpting too. I love creating stuff so I often make little things, like I can sew, craft stuff, I do bullet journaling, etc.

Like I said I'm a professional artist, you'll find all the infos on my other blog but basically : I draw fantasy art, mostly women and feminine people.

I love science (astronomy and astrophysics in particular), arts, cats (I have 4), animals in general, I love music (I have eclectic tastes, I like rock, metal, classic, pop, jazz, etc...), I love to read & watch movies and shows (also eclectic but I love SFFF and horror the most).

---

Voilà, I guess it covers the basis of who I am and what this blog is. Welcome and I hope you enjoy the ride (if you don't it's ok, just don't be rude). 🥰

[margridarnauds]

Audrey/Seymour, Hyde/Lucy, Hyde/Emma

Ship It: Audrey/Seymour

What made you ship it?

...I will admit I have never actually watched this musical in full, but "Suddenly Seymour." Especially when performed live by Hugh Panaro. Rawr.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Get you a man who will feed your abusive boyfriend to a plant which he named out of love for you.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

...I literally have no idea what the unpopular and popular opinions on this ship are and I choose to keep it that way. I think that, looking at the tag at just a glance, it's actually that rare case with one of my ships where the fandom just...hyper-sanitizes it? Like, I love them as a comfort ship where they help one another and support one another, but I also do very much like that....he does feed people to the plant? He couldn't kill Orin, but he did watch as he died. He did get rid of Mushnik. And, while we can go back and forth on whether they deserved it...that is a thing he does do, and he was willing to let more people die if it meant that Audrey would still love him. I'm not looking at hyper grimdark takes, but I'm interested in like....approaches that go with that level of..."The things we do for love."

Ship It: Lucy/Hyde

What made you ship it?

It was very much....not necessarily Baby's First Darkship, because I've been shipping heroes/villains since I literally had a conception of romance as something Not Icky. I loved my femme fatales and ice queens and brooding bad boys and gothic heroes -- I always have and, unless something very dramatic happens, I very likely always will. (One of my first ships probably WAS Imhotep/Ankh-Su-Namun.) But if it wasn't Baby's First Dark Ship, it was Baby's First Musical Theatre Dark Ship. Like, I'd dipped into E/C, but I was kind of caught up in the sort of....purity culture around it? So I gave it up for a while. And J and H was the second musical, after POTO and Cats, that I REALLY got into, so it was kind of natural. (And HILARIOUS, given that Hyde is....pretty objectively a worse human being than Erik in every conceivable way -- He's definitely worse as a romantic partner. I really went from the frying pan to the flaming dumpster fire and never looked back.)

But, like. At the time, I was a very, very religious pre-teen/teenager, who was very strongly indoctrinated by purity culture. Like, to put this into perspective: I only allowed myself to listen to "Point of No Return" from POTO once a day because I thought it was a Bad Song (that I was nonetheless intrigued by) and somehow, only listening to it once a day, with the knowledge that it was a Bad Song, would somehow make it okay with Baby Jesus. (Yes...my twelve year old self was...a little strange in the logic department.) And so Dangerous Game was really.....it was sex, in a way that I really didn't allow myself to interact with sex. And it was a little scary and...intimidating and guilt-ridden, but I was also very interested in this push and pull. Lucy was this female character that I was really invested in, she had this very tragic ending that I rejected even at 12, and so I was really drawn to her and her dynamic with Hyde -- some of the first musical theatre fanfic I ever looked at was probably for those two and Chauvelin/Marguerite.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

I love (anti)heroine/villain ships where the heroine/villain are in a relationship that works as a dark parallel to another "purer" ship. It's similar with Morléans Marie Antoinette where it's like....Lucy isn't Emma, Hyde isn't Henry, and they're both these kind of cast-offs of society. Hyde is the part of Henry that he rejects, while Simon Stride/the Spider makes it very clear that Lucy will never be a lady like Emma, and so there's this...symmetry between the two of them.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't really go here as an active fandom -- I don't really know what the fandom opinions are on them. Like, so much discussion of J and H is about how bad it is and...like, it is and it isn't and I need to be at a certain level of trust with someone before I'm willing to talk about what I do and don't like about it, and every time I go on I see all these webcomics and crossovers I don't fully understand and don't particularly *want* to understand, so like...I'm here, but I'm not.

I guess...in my ideal J and H, it would really emphasize that Hyde himself has some of Henry just like Henry has some of Hyde -- Some of those things that Hyde does that Henry wouldn't do are horrible, but I also wouldn't mind seeing him, say, beat the shit out of the Spider. (Though he does kill Simon at the wedding reception so #GaslightGatekeepGirlboss?) Like, he's canonically possessive of her, so I'd like to see that possessiveness cross over into protectiveness. I'd like to see more of that push and pull, establishing this sense of...a certain level of equality even if he still has more power over her. It's still inherently unhealthy, because it wouldn't be *them* if it wasn't, but just...fleshing out what's already there. And, in my ideal version of things, she does survive him stabbing her (I HAVE NOT ACCEPTED HER DEATH SINCE 2010, I'M NOT GOING TO START NOW), and so she has to come to terms with everything post-canon. Like, the man's dead, and that's good, but also that she *did* love him, so there's also this sense of regret.

I can see, going into the tag, that there's been a bit of backlash against the ship -- Frankly, I don't care. I get why it can be offputting to people, I'm not blaming people for wanting Lucy to live a perfectly happy, fluffy life and to run away with Jekyll or Emma or any combination, but also it's kind of...there. It's one of those ships where I'm here like "don't blame me for being invested in the dark, toxic, but sexy relationship that is framed as being dark, toxic, but sexy." (Honestly, there wouldn't be anything morally wrong with shipping it either way, but in this particular case...it's in the canon. And, frankly, again, what do people expect from a gothic musical? Well-adjusted people?) I'll say that most takes seem to, as usually when it comes to my dark ships, go either too fluffy for them or too grimdark, when my personal favorite medium is "fucked up tenderness/angst/bittersweet endings."

Ship It: Emma/Hyde

What made you ship it?

I literally never considered it until you just suggested it, but I am now interested.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

I was talking about Lucy/Edward as that sort of gothic ship that is based on obsession and lust that borders just on the razor edge of hatred and love, but also...Emma/Edward are the gothic ship that is...the heroine in the haunted house (her house), married to a monster. It's a mixture of Beauty and the Beast, the gothic genre, and some of my favorite folkloric motifs around monstrous husbands. (I'm thinking of a mix up of Bluebeard, The Vampire/Corpse Eater [though that one and I have a...complicated relationship], and East of the Sun, West of the Moon.) He's Henry, but he Isn't, there are these traces of the man that Emma loved, and she wants him back, but there is also this darkness that is also compelling. Emma's never fit into Victorian society, anyway -- She isn't "seventeen, obedient, and sweet". That was part of the appeal of Henry, why she didn't marry Simon. She wouldn't go for Hyde's brutality, no, but I also think...she might, depending on the Emma, be willing to consider Hyde more than we might think. She's coming in with this strong sense of self and this strong sense of confidence that might or might not be enticing to Hyde.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

...if this is widely shipped in any way, I would be greatly surprised, especially given how vocal people can be about Lucy/Hyde.

DON'T PUT A CHARACTER BASHING FIC INTO THAT CHARACTERS SHIP TAG!

Really people, we know better than that.

There are curently two YuKai fanfictions in the KaiTaka tag that have no right to be there. And yes i tried to read them before i got to this conclusion after how irritating they are. Like had i found them looking thorugh the YuKai Tag I might have liked them because they aren't completely bad. I do dislike how Kai is being portraied but thats my problem.

What is worse, in my opinion is the way Takao is portraied here. Blatantly ignoring his growth through teh series and writing him as a homophobic piece of shit who would discard Kai for no reason. Like do you all remember that it was Takao who tried to do everything to get Kai to work with him? Like im not even mentioning the Lake Baikal scene here (Cause that whole thing was initiated by Max iirc correctly) and you can say he was annoying but he was also a pre-teen shounen protagonist. And just focusing on his outrbursts and egoism in G-Rev is bad too especially when you acknowledge teh abuse and mental trauma of the russian team and Kai. Mental illness and puberty can affect everyone, not just the ones who had traumatic childhood events!!

And with that I'd like to all remember a few simple things before posting in a ship tag:

Is the ship only mentioned in my fic?

Put it in, but tag it as *mentioned* even if its mentioned often. Those who don't like a ship should have a chance to avoid it

2. Is it a former relationship of one of the characters?

Put it in, but tag it as *EX/former* etc., see above

3. Can I handle the fans?

Or: what audience do i want? I assume that you'd want teh main ships audience before anythign else especially because some fans aren't nice enough to rant some other place than your fics comment section

4. Do I want to make anyone angry on purpose?

You're an asshole adn you shouldn't put that tag in - Period

5. Do I believe that I gain anything from posting in this tag?

See 3. Think twice if the gains really outweigh the negativity. I do understand taht sometimes you want that becuase maybe you have friend who read your fics and ship it. Or because its a really small fandom or ship with only few fics. Still, think about wether you'd want your main ship to be tagged in a fic that handles it teh way your fic does

6. Do I dislike or even hate that ship?

Don't tag the ship *without* putting Anti before it. If you explicitly want to show it in a bad light e.g. an abusive relationship then let the readers know. Don't fool fans of a pairing to read your stuff if you're gonna be an asshole about it (see 4.)

To wrap it up I'd like to mention that putting the side pairing in is not inherently bad. Some fic's like e.g. misdres four kingdoms have eveery right to be in that tag. But the two fics that started this rant or the infamous KaiRei fic on fanfiction.net that is named and tagged as KaiTaka for no reason at all (Takao isn't even mentioned in it????) have no right to lead fans on like that. Especially if one Character is bashed or portraied especially bad don't put it in there.

Im not free of bashing characters myself, some even really badly OOC but i would never, ever put it in the characters main tag or ship tag like that. Its a simple thing that keeps your work from ruining peoples days.

And I'd also like to add that its not just a "this perosn is bad" mention here but a portrayal that makes my stomach turn and my whole body tingel in the wrong way, it physically hurts me. And that reaction is usually reserved for a NOTP - which YuKai isnt. YET. But if i see any more of that "my ship is better thn your ship" tagged wrongly it will turn into one (like KaiRei did btw)

Rant end.

[ashlynniis-bracketeers]

Your tags on the proship/antiship post are gold.

You put into words what i haven't been able. Thanks.

It really is like that, some proshippers are deranged and viceversa

Thanks 👍‍

Putting this under a read-more in case people don't want to really see this. A TL;DR: PRECISE DEFINITIONS, PLEASE. SAY WHAT YOU MEAN INSTEAD OF HIDING UNDER A MEANINGLESS LABEL. I'M GOING TO DEFAULT TO BEING WARY OF YOU IF YOU USE THESE IDENTIFIERS WITHOUT ANY ELABORATION. I DO NOT USE ANY OF THESE TERMS AS A SELF-IDENTIFIER BECAUSE I HAVE ACTUAL PROBLEMS TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.

I think all of the currently-used terms are extremely stupid, reductionist, and reactionary for something that really shouldn't be such a vitriolic dichotomy. Nobody has a consistent definition of what any of the terms mean in the first place, so you get people arguing in circles about the same words they're using with different meanings.

Might as well elaborate on the tags I added on my reblog of this post by cryptotheism (Giving a screen-snip as well in case it gets deleted.), because I added those tags at the ass-end of last night and wasn't really able to get as in-depth as I wanted to.

So.

PRECISION, PLEASE.

THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT PISSES ME OFF ABOUT THIS.

Nobody really has any consistent definition of whatever the hell a "proship", "anti-anti", or "anti" is, and none of the terms make any form of sense to anyone who doesn't know what the context is already. Even to people that do know the context, the fact that the only terms are all related only to shipping (or, in the case of anti-anti, caring more for "owning The Enemy™" than actual analysis), which is basically just slamming two dolls together to make them KEES to 90% of people and looks stupid for taking so intensely seriously. It doesn't matter how much anybody identifying under these particular terms explains their view, the fact that the predominant terms they cram themselves under all tie back to the word "shipping" creates assumptions that may be wildly different from what they're advocating. If this is supposed to be a debate about exploring "taboo" subjects in fiction without automatically endorsing the taboos vs. approaching media showcasing these "taboos" with caution while checking if they actually used tact, then they need to not use terms that automatically link to nonsense shipping disk-horse.

For this, I'm going to not be assuming that it's only shipping. The names may be entirely shipping-based, but the debate that's being raged isn't, and that's what's important. If I was in charge, I'd have those meaningless terms outright obliterated from the popular lexicon of the debate, because they don't mean anything.

-

So, to elaborate directly from my original tags in the image, of how much these "definitions" of these terms varies:

"Proship/Anti-anti": Do you actually care about the possibility of fiction allowing for the exploring and education about "taboo" subject matter without outright glorifying it? How are people supposed to learn information on them otherwise, outside of clinical-and-possibly-outdated academic papers without any emotional context? Fiction doesn't 100% directly affect reality, just because some people use a piece of fiction as an excuse to commit atrocities doesn't mean you will, right?

Or are you just using the broadness of the term to wank to underage incest porn while making it everyone else's problem, parading yourself around like you're the second coming of Lolita (the book) when you're actually just the tasteless trainwreck that is the ending of Usagi Drop? Accusing anyone that criticizes a particular media having (insert negative general literary thing here, i.e. lack of tact/taste/proper knowledge on a sensitive topic it's trying to portray) of being a book-burning reactionary child? Completely disregarding people's boundaries (personal discomforts, full-on triggers, just general respect, etc.) because "Fiction doesn't affect reality, puriteen, get over yourself and grow up"?

"Anti": Do you actually care about reminding people to critically consume media, warning them to be careful not to fall into normalizing/glorifying things like incest/zoophilia/pedophilia/etc? Being wary as to whether or not the "taboo" a media is trying to explore is actually tackled with any competency? Analyzing as to whether a piece of media fucked up their portrayal of a topic out of actual malice or just plain human incompetence?

Or are you so neurotic about "Problematic™ Things" that you're using people's (rightful) hatred of things like pedophilia as a springboard to crusade against anything that could be seen as Problematic™? So afraid of human error or the existence of "Evil™ People™" that have fucked up portraying sensitive topics that you're trying to bar anyone from ever exploring them again so as to not risk it? Do you find yourself parroting "THINK OF THE CHILDREN, ANY PROBLEMATIC™ MEDIA RISKS TURNING THEM INTO DEGENERATES™" talking points?

-

Look at these terms. Look at the absolute gulf of difference between these things I've compiled under one term alone, all of which have a gradient between them. This makes a big problem of everybody assuming the extremes: One side thinks the other is advocating for incestuous dog-fucking, while the other thinks the first group are a bunch of murderous puritanical zealots advocating for book-burning. See the problem here?

Again, the predominant terms being shipping-based is dishonest to the fact that this isn't just shipping. It also relates to things like portraying marginalized demographics (PoC, LGBTQIA+, addicts, disabled people, etc.) and exploring sensitive topics such as suicide and sexual assault. Like, just because David Cage is a hack writer that keeps on trying to tackle race/assault topics really badly without any sense of taste of respect, that the Netflix 13 Reasons Why show was a massive tactless fuck-up that absolutely exploded as a result, doesn't mean that those topics should be barred from ever being explored again. People also need to realize that saying that they're doing something doesn't mean that they actually are doing it, so critical analysis may still be required.

It's one of the reasons I don't find myself trusting people who self-identify as "pro/anti-anti/anti" without any elaboration as to what they actually mean, because it could all means SO MANY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS, and just because they call themselves something doesn't mean that they actually are that. This focus on black-and-white, all-or-nothing, Us-versus-Them mentality, combined with just how imprecise the terms are, is just a clusterfuck that makes everyone that's Terminally In The Argument (especially Terminally Online™) go absolutely insane. A lot of people who are getting more sensible are starting to throw away the nonsense terms as self-identifiers for multiple reasons, anyway.

There's a certain clarity that comes from realizing that A) Some people will try to use anything as an excuse for abhorrent actions, including outright lying about the thing in question, and B) Some people are just plain stupid, refusing to understand the themes/subtext of a work no matter how unsubtle it is, and/or will start to unironically glorify blatant taboos just to spite the people that told them not to. Sometimes it doesn't matter how well a topic is tackled, somebody will twist it in some way just because they can, but that doesn't mean that the true version that was originally created no longer has any value or substance in the argument.

I have my own bad history with people identifying under both terms that leads to me not automatically trusting people that identify under them: I remember dealing with this one girl IRL that kept on trying to ship me with my IRL family members because "you aren't SUPPOSED to have a good relationship with your relatives, so that means you HAVE to be FUCKING EACH OTHER", and some guy online that kept on filling the tags of a specific media I like with "INCEST IS SO HOT U GUYZZZZ UwU DON'T BE IN DENIAL I KNOW EVERYONE SHIPS INCEST" bullshit in the main tags until I blocked them. Another case is someone I saw that kept on spamming a fandom tag with "THIS MEDIA IS PROBLEMATIC™ FOR X/Y/Z-" posts and then when I went to their blog I saw that they were linking all of their "Anti-Problematic™ Crusade" posts into Christian Evangelicalism and outright turbo-racist rhetoric.

If you read all of this, thank you for your time 👍‍. Again, I don't identify with either "group" (if you can even call them that) lmao. As long as people identify under those specific terms without any elaboration and nuance, I'm going to call both of them fools. Listen to me when I say: Respect people's boundaries (discomforts, triggers, etc.), learn how to curate your own experience (blocking tags/blogs, etc.), take a step back as to not get caught up in arguing-in-circles nonsense such as the mess I've been talking about, and for fuck's sake KEEP YOUR TURBO-CONTROVERSIAL SHIT OUT OF THE MAIN TAGS (whether it be some Spicy Taboo-Based Headcanon™, or bitching that the aforementioned Spicy Taboo-Based Headcanon™), not everybody is here to start arguments lmao.

I dont understand why "fans" are being mean to Seb stan now that he declared himself a buckynat shipper on the radio host interview he just did. If people can have ships of fictional characters, so can he : (

honestly friend i agree, i don’t care what he says in this sort of context or what he ships, he’s a person we’re all people

people on this site like to put people on pedestals and assume people are perfect, and then the second a person does something that group disagrees with, no matter what it is, that person is officially scum. it’s a really hateful rhetoric that’s prevalent on this site, and it’s incredibly toxic.

like.  i don’t like that ship, personally. there are a lot of ships i don’t like. some are actually toxic and perpetuate terrible things, some i just don’t like. everyone has those ships. but in saying that, people on this site have done a lot of research and a lot of thinking about ships and what makes up a ship and the basis of ships. actors? have not, in most cases. how an actor sees a character in their mind’s eye is always gonna be different to how the fans see them. and fans, esp those on tumblr, have this massive fannon base, that the actors don’t have a clue exists. so that changes how they perceive characters compared to fans. which means how an actor sees a ship is gonna be vastly different to how an actor sees it, not even taking into account difference of opinion that will literally always happen between humans.

you can disagree with what he thinks, you can say politely that you disagree, you can do w/e, even though as a general rule i think pushing topics about shipping onto actors is a kinda gross thing to do in general ngl but that’s my opinion

tldr: i agree, people attacking a guy they supposedly love just for liking a ship? gross. people disagreeing with him respectfully? a-okay

#just a few things hon in future i'd appreciate if u put a * in any ship names that i don't ship #purely bc i don't want posts like this appearing in their searches haha #and also i don't usually keep up with interviews and things like that #bc they make me hella anxious esp when they concern seb #so i don't usually know anything that's going on unless i get asks like this lmao #ask to tag #wank / #there's not really anything anti any ship in particular here but #if u want me to tag for an anti ship lmk #grey face #barnesanswers #also i would prefer if ppl didn't reblog this i cannot handle any discourse that will surely sprout from me #saying people are people lmao

[abruisedmuse]

I'm not going to unblock this person so they can see. I'm sure one of their pals is watching my account still. Getting ready to SS and put it on Twitter or something. (Hey! Hi how are you btw? Still being petty and snooping? Wonderful).

Anyway, yall seem to be pressed about me informing my side of the Fandom about this voting thing. So here we go.

1. The MOST IMPORTANT. I pay for these overlays. The acotar ones are sitting pretty in my copy. My acomaf ones I ordered the day it went live. In the future I will be purchasing the acowar ones, the acofas, and the acosf ones. With that being said, as a purchasing customer, if the company is having a vote on which artwork to showcase in the set, I have every right to put a fierce say in what is done. I'd rather not pay around $40 for an E/riel scene. I don't ship it. I don't wanna see it in art form. I'd like to point out that in the event it was going to be added it wouldn't sway my decision in purchasing the overlays. I still would.

2. Had it been voted and done. You guys would have been harassing us because it's canon now. And that we lost (even though this is false and elucien was in a overlay print for acomaf first). As always you would have been unnecessary about it.

3. I meant what I said. I don't want anymore drama. Look who's causing the uproar about this? You guys are. You are furthering my point. You blow everything. EVERYTHING OUT PROPORTION. My six year old acts better than this.

4. You do realize. Instead of being pissy you could have made a post similar to mine encouraging E/riels to vote for the scene? But I guess its easier to throw a tantrum over a post instead.

5. There are a lot of people reading these books and not caring about ships and ship wars. They dont care of the endgames. They vote too. Just food for thought. Im sure on facebook in multiple groups people shared the voting as well. Maybe not for the same reason i did. Maybe to defend your sinking ship. Regardless What's done is done. The vote is over.

6. It's very easy to scroll. I tagged it appropriately. I only made it where my targeted audience could see. I used an Anti E/riel tag. I made it like to keep the peace. So you guys can do whatever it is you do on your side of the fandom. Instead you guys sit there following accounts and tags that you know are not good for your ship. And then blast it when you find a post to attack. I guess points for blocking out names but still.

Why can't you guys just chill? Why can't you guys just love and support your ship. Stay on your side of the fandom. Stop looking for things that's problematic for your ship.

Yall are in a uproar about this when you could be voting for the scene where Feyre and Az save Elain. Like ???

It's Promo Time!

💙 Hello! My name is Micah, though I also go by the names Noelle, Julia and Star. It's nice to meet you!

🤍 I've always been something of a self-shipper, though when it comes to being in the self-ship community, I'm still fairly new and am really looking forward to meeting new people!

💙 My inbox or DMs are always open— never hesitate to reach out to me because I love talking with other self-shippers and making them feel as loved by their F/Os as I can manage! I don't quite know if I'll open gush asks just yet, since this is my first post on the blog, but that's not stopping you from sending one anyways!

🤍 I don't have a fancy Carrd like a lot of those in the community do (The whole site-building thing just goes way over my head), so I can't list my F/Os and DNI criteria there, but more on the former in a bullet point or two. Really my only DNI criteria is as follows: please do not interact if you are LGBTQ+-phobic in any capacity, are a pro-shipper, ship the pairing Stripes on Stripes from Centaurworld and if we share any romantic F/Os (Please respect this; the latter can really tank my self-confidence and mess with my anxiety).

💙 While I can be of the shy sort at times, I find myself to be an overly friendly and accepting person (Hence my eagerness to get to know others in the community) and would LOVE to hear from you!

🤍 Want to see my lengthy list of fictional others? You can check them all out on this page right here, complete with stylized icons for each one! I recognize that tumblr mobile doesn't support pages of these sort, so if you are a mobile user, please check under the cut for my F/Os and their tags! 💙 My pronouns are she/her.

🤍 To reiterate, proshippers/anti-antis are NOT allowed to interact with or even be looking at this blog, and if any of y'all are, get lost.

Really looking forward to going off about all of my F/Os for all to see!!

[sparkles-and-trash]

Thank you, THANK YOU for writing your post on pro-shipping. As a child, I was abused in every way a child could be until I escaped at age 18. I write rape and problematic relationships (which often become more healthy with time) as a way to cope and survive. My psychologist is supportive of what I do. He honestly is surprised I'm even able to function at all given what I've lived through.

I am in a Fandom that I love that has so many antis that it's frankly soul crushing. I'd leave if it wasn't so dear to my heart. So I hide and hurt while people say horrible things about me that are flat out disgusting and untrue.

Reading your post made me cry (literally). Knowing that others understand the pain and are supportive means the world to me. I don't understand how these people can equate reality to fantasy. I mean, why don't they go after murder mystery writers if they think that way?

Sorry for writing anon. I've seen too many screenshots get out for me to risk using my name. It's not that I think you'd hang me out to dry, it's just I've been through too much to blindly trust people. If you'd like to talk further, just make a post. (If you don't, that's cool too!)

Hey friend <3 

First of all, thank you for being so vulnerable and honest with me. I’m terribly sorry for what you’ve gone trough, and so, so proud and happy that you made it out, and are still around today. 

On the topic of writing/about trauma to cope, I know for a fact that it’s something multiple professionals recommend. It’s not for everyone, everyone’s story and trauma and coping is different, but as long as people who do write it tag and spoiler it so nobody who doesn’t wanna find it stumbles upon it, I think it’s wonderful that people have ways to deal and cope with trauma that helps. 

I’m really dodgy about calling myself anything in these terms, because I don’t longer know what things really mean, and saying I’m pro-ship feels scary knowing people think that is “supporting p*dos and in*est”, which sounds like they’re talking about actual harmful things that happen irl and not just words on a page about a non-existing person that hurts no one, and I would hate for things to get spread around that’s not true, and the be a target for harassment, so I try to avoid using any of those terms? 

I would call myself anti-harassment, pro-kindness, pro-using your brain and being critical before you engage with content that might upset you, anti-putting fictional people’s health and happiness over real people, I guess. 

If you ever feel comfortable or need it, my DM’s are open, and I will not tell anyone who you are, you can be totally anonymous if you want. I’m always here to talk! 

This actually goes for everyone, if you need someone to talk to, or have questions about something I’ve said, or if you want to tell me something I did or wrote upset you, or if you wanna just say hi, my asks and DM’s are always open, and I’m always interested in hearing how I can help, in any way.
