#message for shippers

[assiraphales]

it's so funny that i have you on one side shipping zolu and a mutual on the other shipping sanlu. feels like i'm in the middle of a war i don't know anything about and everyone is winning

you are walking down the streets of a very peaceful verona

#one piece #honestly good for them i've actually made a few sanlu posts simply bc opla sanji was down BAD for luffy #heart eyes galore #asks #zolu #sanlu #anyways I haven't been in fandom for a long time and while there are some ships I would never partake in....... it doesn't seem like #there's that much tension between shippers #i've been in fandoms where i've gotten death threats n vile vile VILE messages over #my approach has always been i'm in my corner of the sandpit and if u don't come over n try to knock over my sandcastle than we're fine #obviously when it comes to zolu i've already seen people be like 'well luffy is ace' which is something i've already expressed my opinion #but other than that not to much 'that ship SUCKS' as some i've been in lol

**P3R spoilers**

Full Moon Full Life is Life and Death singing together in harmony (with Death being intrigued by the beauty of life and encouraging life to give it their all while life is determined to pull through without falter)

Color Your Night is about a moon that fell in love with a special someone and their beloved reciprocating their affection back with a kind heart

I really can't unhear this and apparently the songwriter really did say something like that along the lines(in the persona magazine there was a mention that the latter show the warmth and kindness of the moon and as for the prior, lotus juice seems to have said full moon full life has a more friendly approach towards death as compared to the original p3 in a commentary)

These songs align with ryoji and the mc's relationship and what ryoji's said about how connections are formed both ways. They have a bond and they appreciate each other. It's what their whole link was about, forging a relationship on the paths of life and accepting death as a friend. I was really looking forward to what they'd do with this character because I had a big hunch after having seen the opening sequence AND the song that went with it.. I take these as their song and it's not so wrong considering what they're supposed to symbolize, P3R's approach towards the inevitable end is much warmer and tender! I believe that's one of the main themes, if not the theme of the game. While it's unstoppable, it could also be part of what gives life more meaning and makes it more precious..

I think that's really beautiful and it's what I like seeing, it also helps when death is one of the most loving and sweetest character you get in this franchise, isn't that a pretty sight!!

When you listen to the songs with this in mind, you can see ryoji's love towards life and the protagonist's immense.. He cares for him so much-to be fair, he has always been that way-and this time the protagonist does care for him back and considers him dear. That was made more obvious not just in the songs but in reload too, mc treasures his friendship with ryoji!! I feel that's very wholesome.

#ryoji mochizuki #ryomina #persona 3 reload #persona #and I'm not saying this because I'm a shipper or sth..; it's an analysis #I genuinely believe the songs do imply these sort of message #persona 3 reload spoilers #spoilers #I ship shuyuka so hard but ryomina is so so so wholesome and I appreciate them a whole lot too #it has to do with the plot and the message as well!!! #so ryomina nation rise I say #this is your stuff-it's your song!! I can confirm #and it's my new fav songs from the franchise.. you have it SO GOOD!! #you gotta say.. ryoji loves the protags so much #he's a sweetheart #p3 reload

so. . .angry rant is angry

but

this is. . .the WEIRDEST fucking fandom I have EVER been a part of.

like. . .most other ships would be justifiably upset by a ship they were into that had 0 love triangles suddenly having not 1, but two. every ship I have been a part of has loved both their characters. every ship I have ever been a part of would be fucking FURIOUS that some random OC was created SPECIFICALLY to spite half the pairing.

and y'all were SO mad about Marina that hate fics are STILL being written about her, but y'all will slobber all over this white man OC like he's the best fucking thing that ever happened to Penelope, as if Colin, the guy who has cared about her without ANY expectation or pressure, is somehow The Worst. But let's hype up the OC. Yeah. Let's justify why it's GOOD, actually, that we got yet another triangle (sorry, HINGE, because if it was an actual triangle, Debling would be trying to get into Colin's pants, too!). One that is even more cozy than the S2 one was (what's the closest Anthony even GOT to Edwina? certainly not with his hand on her waist leaning in all up on her business).

Noooo, we need Pen to be DESIRED! We need Pen to be the DIAMOND! We ship Pen with OPTIONS!

I ship Pen with COLIN, though. And I thought that's what we were doing here, but evidently not, because all these posts? Not Polin. But they're tagged Polin. Pebling is a tag. Use it. Spare those of us who actually ship this pairing. Because we're MAD.

Debling didn't have to happen. His existence isn't good writing. He's there because Shonda doesn't even LIKE Colin, but she HAS to have Polin as endgame because they have such an enormous fanbase, and the backlash would be career ruining. They kept the season on the shelf for two entire years, have relegated one of our leads to the sidelines (don't even TRY to tell me they haven't shoved Colin off to the side), posted promotions of this OC/Penelope bullshit (half for rage-bait, congrats, I'm there, and half to appease all the fans who have talked shit about Colin for 2+ years), and we are EATING IT UP.

Oh, this fanbase HATES Colin. You can't convince me otherwise. Y'all have spent 2 years talking about how you want him to grovel for ONE STATEMENT, how he's the worst guy in the entire show because he's entitled and takes Pen for granted, you haven't talked about ANY of his good traits, you want him jealous, you want him punished, you want him miserable, and you want Pen to be rubbing it in his face. You don't even want these things for his GROWTH, but instead for Penelope to have 'vindication'. His own love story isn't even about him. Some of y'all out here like 'oh, Colin's off screening doing something dumb in that still'. Flooded the POLIN tag with other Pen pairings, talked down to people who actually like Colin and have been concerned about him having a storyline or proper promotion (which he has no real evidence of getting, the man isn't even on the POSTER), say this is. . .what? retribution? for when Colin was interested in someone in S1, except, hm, oh yeah, NO ONE WAS ASKING FOR COLIN TO DO THAT!! No one was out here like 'Hope Marina makes Penelope sooooo jealous that she just HAS to step in and have him for herself'. No one was out here fucking SHIPPING THEM. But y'all are. In our tag. Without any push back.

AND IT WASN'T EVEN HIS STORY!!! It became PEN'S! Pen pining. Pen aching. Pen trying to break them up. Pen talking to Marina. Pen scheming. Pen agonizing. And we didn't fucking like it.

But this Debling bullshit? STILL NOT COLIN'S STORY!!! Still Pen's! Pen being pursued. Pen getting attention. Pen making decisions. Pen having a narrative.

Colin gets nothing. Has gotten nothing in this fandom and the writing for YEARS. Will continue to get nothing.

Y'all say you ship Polin but the instant any other dude walks into her line of sight, it's 'Colin whomst?'. Y'all say you ship Polin, but you also ship her with Debling, Michael, Dankworth, Anthony, Benedict, Anderson, Fife, random potted plant, dude in the background, Phillip, Jesus Christ himself, etc etc. She is this fandom's OOC Bicycle whenever it happens to suit us, so I'm not surprised.

Yeah, fucking block me for that, I don't care.

Most of y'all don't ship this couple. You say you do but you don't, not really. Because if you did, you'd be upset that Polin is losing screentime for this. You'd be asking where half your ship is. You wouldn't be settling for 'oh, he's off screen somewhere'. You'd want more of Polin's moments. Their tenderness. Their messiness. Their alone time. You'd be asking why this was necessary. You'd be wondering where Colin's growth is, where his story is. Y'all are content with crumbs. Colin could be a disembodied hand jilling Pen off at this point and you'd be happier for it because you clearly don't care that he isn't here.

The reality is- I have been SCREAMING about how this fandom doesn't give a shit about Colin for years now. Friends of mine have been bullied off this fandom. Story after story that was about punishment and revenge was written. Anything outside the status quo? Instantly spammed by mean ass anons. Luke Newton was harassed. His ex partner was harassed. His friends are being harassed. Luke Newton has said this fandom has taken their frustrations out on him. A real life person. Just trying to do a job.

And being shafted whilst doing so.

Why should he promo this shit? Huh? It was meant to be his season and it isn't. That's clear. It's so clear that to say otherwise like y'all are kidding yourselves.

I'm tired of this fandom culture. I'm tired of the Pen Standom being a placeholder for Polin.

I SHIP POLIN!!! Polin! As in Penelope AND Colin. As in MY OTP!!! As in the couple I want seasons and seasons of! I want Penelope to grow outside of Male Validation. I want Colin to be a fully rounded character who exists outside of Penelope. I want them to grow TOGETHER. I don't want this random suitor ass nonsense. I didn't want it from jump and I don't want it now. I will never want it. I do not care.

I continue to be the polin black sheep, but I CALLED THIS. I called it. And I hate that I did. I hate it. I saw this was the direction it was going back when our 'can't wait to see him groveling, screaming, crying, throwing up for Pen' bullshit was blowing up. Other ships see it. Other fans see it. Shonda calls him stupid, we call him stupid (yeah, you can say it's 'affectionately' all you want, I don't believe you), every damn time it's 'omggggg chill outttttt Colin will have his time'

Y'all don't WANT him to have his time. You want him to be a sexy prop. And congrats, that's evidently what you're getting.

Just like. . . just finally acknowledge it. Y'all aren't here for the pairing. You're here for Pen. And fine, that's your prerogative, but then just stop acting like you're here for the ship. Stop posting shit in the tag for the eyes and attention. You ship Pebling. Whoopdee doo. Use. Their. Tag. Pen/Someone Else is endgame in your fic. DON'T TAG POLIN. Colin sucks, he doesn't deserve her, he should grovel- You. Don't. Ship. Polin.

I am tired. I love Colin as a character, and a few of us do, too, and we deserve a safe place for that. And we can't even get it in his own fandom. We can't even get it in his own tag.

#polin #colin bridgerton #my darling my starlight my love and morning dove i will always adore you #yeah i tagged it do i look like i care???? #go through my posts I BEEN lived on this island #and yeah #it's a rant #feel free to block me #no shame no hurt feelings it's fine #or feel free to slide into my inbox or messages #this is a safe place for polin shippers and colin lovers #i gotchu

i think before joining or making a minecraft roleplay server every creator needs to either have played at least ONE campagin of a ttrpg of their choice (doesnt have to be dnd) or they must have spent their entire childhood roleplaying with people on any social media/forum/chat app their tiny hands could get a hold on. i want these minecraft roleplayers to have backgrounds in doing roleplay with actions written out *like this* in their friends text messages and getting into insane drama as teenagers in discord roleplay servers

#if you really want to get into it. there needs to be more mcrps with members who got in trouble for having mary sue ocs on roleplay forums-- #for the record i did in fact do both of the things mentioned at the end here #shout out to my bestie in middle school who would do underfell bone brothers rp with me #we texted each other roleplay and also sent each other voice messages. and also did it irl . #mcyt #mcrp #qsmp #and. to be mean #dsmp #yes i know this would possibly disqualify tubbo because he hasnt played dnd before now #but. he knows what kinning means. i KNOW he knows what kinning means #and he knows the spiritual definition. and hes a creek shipper #im sure that man has SOME sort of roleplay history before joining minecraft smps ok #on the note of things ive gotten into though i have in fact gotten into insane drama because of discord roleplay servers #shoutout to the rp server that ended because one of the main writers partners cheated on them . that server was a pit of toxic waste #but boy did 15yr old me really enjoy working on the story except for all the times i got suicidal about it #but thats the magic of roleplaying as a teenager ok #if you didnt come out of it traumatized were you REALLY roleplaying.

do u ever. think. reflect. ponder, if you will, about the fact that sam winchester is literally the impala. like sam is actually the impala. in episode 8 season 5 “changing channels” sam turning into the impala is indicative of the idea that he is that fucking car. You know like like like. like something to be possessed, right. like, something to be desired. totaled beyond repair yet still repairable by the hands of dean. And with no choice because you know he’s a FUCKING CAR. cars can’t consent u idiot. they never had the ability to begin with. and its you know i mean, dean’s love language right. hey, wanna drive? hey wanna. wanna take this car for a spin. hey i’ll even teach you. like do u ever meditate on that. do u.

not to sound incredibly biased as someone who throughly and shamelessly enjoys media that involves the person interacting with it (choose your own adventure, video games with meta elements, interactive comics, etc) but i think self inserts involving popular media are great, actually. is there no greater sense of love than wanting to make it a part of your life? finding comfort in the characters, the world, the lore? draw yourself hugging your favorite character, write about them handing you a flower. take a nap with your fictional friend. make your oc just you with a fun cape or a cool outfit and superpowers, life is short.

as long as you aren't preventing other people from enjoying it or stealing someone else's oc, go in peace and find what makes you happy.

#now excuse me while i go draw my sona carrying narry like a very grumpy cat #ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #people say cringe culture is dead and i approve that message #what harm is there in living peacefully and enjoying media that makes you happy in a way that makes you happiest? #self shippers can live well. people who ship nothing can live well. coexistence is a good thing #i don't ship for shit but i'll still attend your fictional wedding #lemme at that refreshments table i want to snag the little cakes and tarts

"One of our greatest freedoms in life is how we react to things"

- Charlie Mackesy

Honestly, just something that I think a lot of people in fandom should keep in mind when your first thought to how someone else experiences fandom is anger. It might be time to step back, or at least curate your fandom experience more so that it's what YOU want. Life is easier and happier that way

#all the messages i get of complaints about tkkrs or ymrs or shippers in general #or just the antis in my inbox #its all just so much #this cant bring you people joy #i know it doesnt because you TELL me it doesnt #fandom should be something that brings you happiness and serotonin #dont get so wrapped up in the drama that you forget that one of the greatest things you can do for yourself #is decide how you want to engage and react to things #jikook #kookmin #fandom discourse #quotes #the boy the mole the fox and the horse

hey just letting you know that desertfox555 (who you rb’d) is a wincest shipper

Good for them? I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to do with this information

#I appreciate the motivation behind your message anon #however I’m very much a ship and let ship person #as long as they’re not engaging in harmful behaviour towards others (which I didn’t find on their blog but correct me if I’m wrong) #I don’t mind reblogging gen stuff from people who ship wincest #also nothing on their blog was filtered for me? nor did I see any ship art in general #so not quite sure where the wincest shipper allegations are based on #answered asks #anonymous

Katee Stackoff has once again confirmed that Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin do NOT have romantic undertones (from this article).

#do any of the people her sent me messages screaming & crying that Katee is a diehard d*nbo shipper want to send me an apology? #you are welcome to ship whatever you want #but can we officially stop with the homophobic rants on how Din/Bo is the “most likely ship to become canon” and so “obviously written" #because no. it is not canon and was NOT how the actors were acting in any of those scenes. have fun writing your fanfic and enjoy. #just don't act like you are the most right and canon and special when your ship is just as dumb and silly as the rest of them. #and there was NEVER any kiss scene or romantic shit filmed- some of you just don't understand when an actor is making a joke. #ALSO- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please stop asking the actors about it at panels. #bo katan kryze #bo-katan kryze #the mandalorian #din djarin #text
