#oc shipping discussion

[axvwriter]

Hi I was the anon who asked on Ryker’s page for aus of if Jaxon/oc romantic headcanons! I completely understood the reason why they weren’t comfortable so I didn’t press on

Oh so you were asking for romantic headcanons. Nice to know, thank you for telling me!

I suppose I should put somewhere on my tumblr that I'm okay with my ocs being shipped with other ocs so for anyone that wants to, they can find that info. Perhaps in each of my characters intro posts near the end I could stat that? Since there are a few I don't want to have any romantic relations with anyone like CatMask, even if someone were to make a shadow creature that's similar to it.

Hi, How do you think would Axel & Aim react to human boys(or children) calling them weird due to to their behaviour towards each other?

(Since Humans, especially Kids, can be very aggressive towards things they don’t understand(sadly). So I was curious what you, or Zu, would think how the boys would react in a situation like this)

Hmmm this is an interesting question! I'll speak mostly on Axel since Aim is @zu-is-here 's character and I wouldn't want to butcher or assaainate any of her characterization for him out of respect <3

Axel is already kind of used to being alienated by other 'normal' children. Despite residing in the Omega Timeline with his parents, it's clear the locals can still hold some grudge towards his father for the suffering he inflicted among the Multiverse during the events of 'UNDERVERSE'. Who's to say some spiteful people whisper to their kids to stay away from him and his siblings or to not trust them? Considering Axel looks the most like his dad, there's a small fear of him turning out like him, and because of this kids that aren't his fellow skeleton kind are hesitant or flat out avoid him, even leading to teasing.

It's most likely if he ever managed to bring Aim to the timeline and something like this happened, he'd be upset and try to stand up for himself and Aim. He's shy with confrontation, but he'd be scared of them actually convincing Aim to stay away from him. He knows it's embarrassing and he has a habit of messing up, but he would 100% not stay silent about it. No body can make fun of him and his crush friend! But he probably wouldn't understand the implications of why they are teasing him, kids are mean.

That and if it gets bad he can always just get his dad to scare the bullies away, haha.

I may have...mentioned a fankid a little while back (ｕ_ｕ*) here's the little squirt themselves, our very own Newt Utonium! The name is short for Newton, as in Isaac, who is often considered the grandfather of science (the professor's idea ofc) but they prefer to go by just Newt!

Just like their mother they came from an egg, which Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were very excited and curious about! Especially since they were born 5 years old and at the same time, they were looking forward to interacting with a new sibling. And a baby at that! They spent a lot of time with the egg fawning over it, discussing what gender they hoped it would be and what they'd be like once hatched!

And ofc Utonium is just as wonderful a father with Newt as he was when the girls came into his life! 💖💖💖

im sure everyone’s seen the argument by non-wincest shippers that canon weirdcest moments can be explained off as particularly close brothers. i’ve seen wincesties respond by straight up denying it, but honestly, i see where they’re coming from. they do TECHNICALLY have a point, yet still, it fundamentally doesnt sit well with me.

if you isolate all of these little incidents they could be perceived as purely brotherly. its got me thinking about what exactly makes wincest so appealing, and why i as a wincest shipper immediately have an exasperated reaction to people insisting that sam&dean are purely platonic.

i also see this argument frequently bundled with the stance that “weirdcest isn’t a justification for shipping wincest” (which is a whole other can of worms altogether— the puritan culture of ship culture rn), but you gotta take a step back and just ask yourself… why am i so intent on seeing these characters as platonic?

the prevailing argument ive seen is that siblings CAN be terribly close without being incestuous. this is totally fair. i’m not saying that if you are particularly close with your siblings in a sam & dean type manner that you are incestuous. obviously relationships between family is vastly complex & changes with the culture you grew up in.

the only problem here is that people try to go so far to explain sam&dean’s relationship as to not paint it as romantic. if they weren’t related, it’d be insane to think they weren’t romantic. they are consistently and repeatedly put in situations and exchange dialogue that’s used to convey romantic tone in western media. my point here being— the writers know that they are doing. and they are doing it INTENTIONALLY.

yes, certain cultures find extensive physical touch and kisses between siblings platonically acceptable. yes, you can be very close to your siblings without wanting to fuck them. but that is such a reach given what you are being presented with. you are missing the fundamental thematic point of supernatural: family horror!!

by so steadfastly arguing that sam&dean cannot be read as romantic you are purposefully ignoring the the text. you are glossing over the repeating themes of generational trauma and incest that are touched on time and time again, with john’s father abandoning him, mary’s parents being hunters, the struggle she went through to get out of the life but how family trauma & the past permeates itself into your being. you are ignoring the benders, the ghost pregnant with her fathers child, and the time azazel KISSED MARY in HER FATHERS BODY.

supernatural pushes incestuous themes SO HARD. it purposefully plays with & explores the double-sided blade that is family. it touches on a REALLY TABOO subject without being overwhelming or heavy handed. of course its going to attract people who enjoy these themes. OF COURSE we’re going to look at the two homoerotic brother leads and see something between them! it’s intentionally placed in the script! its a valid reading of the text!

this is why i get frustrated when people say that wincest shippers are twisting canon for the sake of shipping, because we’re not. when people say this they are taking a piece of media that is intriguing in how it handles a socially unacknowledged part of the human experience and forcing their viewing of it on others. they are saying that you aren’t allowed to enjoy those themes because it is inherently wrong or shameful to EXPLORE THE TOPIC. i dunno. that sounds pretty authoritarian to me.

it’s totally fine to be grossed out by incest or avoid wincest because it makes you uncomfortable. what ISNT okay is to say its an exaggerated reaction to canon, because it really isnt. in fact, its a pretty normal & sane conclusion to come to after seeing those two. the fact that they aren’t explicitly incestuous might even enhance this idea. it touches on the unspoken secretive nature of family trauma and the complicated, messy reality of crossing boundaries with blood without being cliche or overdramatic.

im going to incite occam’s razor here: yes, they could just be brothers. yes, you can explain it all away as particularly close siblings. yes, you can argue that it isnt explicitly canon. but really, why would you do all that when the show incessantly implies that they’re more? and more importantly, why are you so quick to say that a topic cannot be explored because it’s complicated? is that really the sentiment that we as a society want to hold regarding media?

[crypticmoth-art]

I saw a post about your TMA OCs, they look so interestingg, please tell me more about them [if you want to lol] <3

Oh absolutely! I love talking about my OCs! I shan’t bore you with all the details, as I do have quite a lot on them.

The three in question are originally from a TMA OC cosplay tag on Tiktok set in Regency era Britain before the Magnus Institute was established.

My Terminus avatar, Cassius Sallow, is a funeral furnisher and cabinet maker, both trades inherited from his father. He met Beckett Hurst, the person who would become his lifelong partner (in friendship, romance, and crime) when he accompanied his father at a young age to oversee the funeral of Beckett’s late mother. The two hit it off splendidly, and Beckett’s grief-stricken father, a man of great stature, insisted that Cassius and Beckett continue each other’s company.

Into their teenage years and early adulthood, Cassius prepared to take over his father’s business while Beckett became a student of medicine at Guy’s Hospital. The two also became Resurrectionists, disinterring graves to sell to surgeons and anatomists (which led to them experiencing the horrors).

With that last bit tying into Beckett’s untimely death! Beckett is actually a manifestation of Cassius’ End-aligned abilities, but whether he is actually a ghost tied to Cassius, or a manifestation of Cassius’ memory or delusions is unclear.

The third character is my Lonely avatar, Yves Ainsley. He’s a well-off barrister who is presently in a relationship with Cassius and Beckett (very Lonely to be in an active relationship with a dead man). I don’t have as much lore on him yet, because he’s the newest of the trio, but he owns a house in Soho, with all the rooms either empty or the furniture covered with sheets.

Much to his chagrin, he does keep himself integrated into high society, attending the occasional dinner party, and even rarer, hosting his own. His attendance of social events is not for his enjoyment, but to observe candidates that he can single out for the Lonely.

At some point, he became attracted to Cassius due to his subjected Loneliness surrounding the death of Beckett.

I have quite a bit more on them, but I think I’ve dumped a lot already and don’t want to bombard you!

Monroe Swan |Warrior of Light|

(Tags: Monroe, Monroe Swan)

Viera from Limsa Lominsa. She’s lived in Eorzea her whole life and always has had a desire to see more. After the calamity she had a crisis about her own uselessness. At the start of ARR she’s basically out trying to find out more about herself. She has issues with identity, being useful, and vulnerability. She’s a bard up until the SB lead up where she switches to machinist, post endwalker she swaps between the two.

She’s an orphan. She has a group she considers her “siblings” but she’s afraid that it will turn out that she cared more about them than they cared about her.

(Npc Ships: Aymeric)

Freya Voras |non-wol|

(Tags: Freya Voras)

Viera. Former matriarch of her village, Freya has been out on a vacation for the past decade or so. Summed up she’s basically a milf. Mostly a non combatant, but is more of a healer. She is very caring and calm, very little phases her.

Her family is her village and her children who have gone out into the world.

(Npc ships: Merylwyb)

Kuzhuk |non-wol|

(Tags: Kuzhuk)

A xaela banished from his tribe for killing his brother and general assholeness, he now lives on the edges of society and mostly hangs out in the wilderness. Has a small place on the edge of the territory of Freya’s village. He regrets his past attitude and actions and now really hates himself. Man of few words. His class is warrior. Doesn’t wear proper shirts. Does not like cities.

(Npc Ships: n/a)

Andvari Voras |non wol|

(Tags: Andvari Voras)

One of Freya’s many sons, yet their relationship is strained. On the cusp of adulthood, Andvari stumbled upon a void gate. From this unfortunate encounter, he improperly rejoined with his equivalent on the 13th, and now deals with a hungry voidsent tag along. Out of fear he flees his woods and ends up in Ul’dah, eventually joining the Lemures. While they can’t provide an explanation or solution, they can provide guidance and targets for his passenger. He very much has no idea what he’s doing and is generally very grumpy.

Three Houses fans, do you have OCs? Do you use them publicly or hide them? Do you pair them with a canon character?

Just curious so I figured I'd ask, since I often see my mutuals interact with each other or their mutuals about their OCs!

#DCB Comments #I have an OC that I use for /everything/ - every FE every Tales every other series #and I've had her since... maybe... 2006? #and she was originally my secondary to my main but one day I switched them and then #the original faded out entirely so my now main OC got herself a new OC as a sidekick #so I've basically grown up with my own OC lol. I only rly discuss her with the Shaman King fandom #but I keep her core personality and stuff the same in every series and just alter her background and relationships as needed #I often do romantic ships or one sided ships but sometimes I don't depending on #if I don't think anything would work that way for her in that given universe #unfortunately in almost every verse she has a romantic relationship with someone #canon literally kills off that character and it's basically a curse at this point #shoutout to tales of rebirth where she has no romantic relationships /AND/ nobody she cared abt died shjkgs #DCB OC Stuff

[rexscanonwife]

Y'all know your girl loves her AUs, and my partner pointed out that this is just a fursona with extra steps but idc here's the animatronic version of my s/i!! I wanted to draw her in the style of the official Security Breach art cause it's cute, I'll probably draw the real animatronic later lol but meet Missy Mouse! 🧀🐀

Her attraction amounts to essentially a karaoke room where kids are encouraged to play and sing as loud as their little lungs can (soundproofed ofc) and she sings along with them! She's modeled after the 60s and sings a lot of songs from the 70s as well but tends to favor 80s hits like Call Me and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! 💖💖

[acr3ss-the-cosmos]

Thought about putting together one of these for a while so I just did it ashsjdkdk. I don't actually have any strong ship bias for Yukong but these are just some thoughts I had. For characters I didn't list, I simply didn't see how they could potentially work, but of course if you have ideas I'm happy to hear them!

#ground control; (OOC) #about; (HELM MASTER) #((and this goes without saying but I would like some discussion and mutual agreement for any ship since things may not always work out)) #((and ofc ships with ocs are always on the table))

[kawaiiwaifu-theartist]

Hi! Hope you're doing well~ I was super curious, do you have any ships for Kuro Starling? :3c I think I remember you mentioning this at some point and I wanna hear about them!

Sure, I do have ships for Kuro here, the only main one is Kuro x Swank.

As you know, I believe Swank doesn't have enough attention of screen time to even develop. Like a one off, so I tried to write a oneshot for him and my oc and a fanfic with chapters, may take time to work it out but I'm sure it's definite.

Other ships as for the moment like Kuro x Aphex is something I was wondering about but didn't make it into a ship, since Aphex may get along with Kuro as a friend than a lover, I just think of it as platonic, just like Kuro x Melami, though I consider them as companions and friends than lovers. As you know, Kuro is thankful for the fashion sense he gotten from her.

Kuro x Fubuki is something, but think of them as companions, Kuro tends to take care of Fubuki if needed while Fubuki is air head, she appreciates the help she gets from him whenever needed. Kinda like best friends, not best friends into lovers, just best friends. The other ship of the NDO, Kuro x Vivia, is similar in their sense that they both read books. But honestly, I see them as companions, both have fortes that have a flaw to them (Vivia can see ghosts that he wish he could have died, Kuro's stars change black and white depending if he is telling the truth or a lie). So I believe that both of them being companions is as good as it is.

Now, if that is all that is needed to be ask, I can say that the other ships are mostly platonic. I'm not including Desuhiko in this since I see him and Kuro as 2 people who have to deal with their shenanigans (Kuro with his novel buying while Desuhiko's flirting with the ladies), like co workers and roommates.
