What's your opinion on the ship of theses problem?

okay im not sure if this is completely unrealated to the latest amelia episode or not BUT im still gonna reference it and use it to explain because im bad at words

(for context: kozlovski, mia, and [name idk] were talking about how the body replaces frequently (also tatoos disappearing but thats unrelated)

JACKIE

But then... I mean... Am I even still the same person as... as say thirteen year old Jackie who tried to fake her own death?

KOZLOWSKI

An interesting question. What do you think?

JACKIE

Well... no. Because every part of me is new.

MIA

Yeah, but it's still Jackie!

KOZLOWSKI

Is it?

--------

KOZLOWSKI (CON’T)

Now let us say a man robs a bank.

MIA

Okay...

KOZLOWSKI (CON’T)

Then he waits until all of his cells have renewed. He is now an entirely different man! Do you absolve him from responsibility?

MIA

Of course not!

KOZLOWSKI

But this man does not share a single atom with the man who robbed the bank.

MIA

Who cares about his body, it's his intent that counts! Right?

KOZLOWSKI

Jackie, if you think of yourself as the lump of matter you inhabit, then you are, literally, never you. Because the matter is constantly changing.

JACKIE

So who am I?

KOZLOWSKI

Another excellent question. And one to which there are many answers. I would say... you are your memories.

this sums up my opinion on the matter really well

basically, you are ur memories

if you remember when you were 15 then you are the same person

if you lose your memory you arent you till u get it back if ever

if the ship is fully replaced but slowly, but it was never burned or broken and nothing massively changing happened, its still the same ship

#this is my opinion btw #ship of theses #philosophy #thought of the day

The Princess' Dolls

After Danny has ascended to the throne of the ghost king, something goes wrong with his clone Ellie. Her form destabilizes again, and when they stabilize her, she's physically only five or six years old.

Danny takes to watching her, but looking after a half ghost child is a lot harder than it looks, especially when Ellie learns duplication but can't seem to figure out how to undo it for hours on end, and each clone gets bored really fast. To counter this, Danny makes Ellie a set of dolls, all modeled after the Justice League and various related figures. He even uses a special enchantment he learned to make sure the dolls stay intact no matter what Ellie puts them through.

Ellie loves the dolls and she and her clones have a tendency to put together large productions using them, ranging from superhero fights to sitcom stories to fairy tales to a few 'things' Ellie remembered reading online before she was de aged.

Meanwhile, almost every single Justice League member has been noticing some oddities as of late. They can hear voices from no where, they feel like something is touching them when there is nothing, their muscles sometimes spasm without cause. And, on occasion, they find themselves sleepwalking as they dream of a giant telling a story.

No one brings this to the attention of the other members until several members get knocked out on a mission, only for their unconscious forms to start acting out a play.

(Or Danny accidentally makes several Justice League Voodoo dolls and a young Ellie keeps playing with them)

#dp x dc #dpxdc #dc x dp #danny phantom #dp x dc prompt #dani phantom #de aging #Danny accidentally makes several Justice League Voodoo Dolls #It's up to you if he made the villains as well #The 'things' Ellie found on the internet was mainly shipping fanfics #Superman and Batman woke up in an awkward position when they passed out during that play session #Are they really Voodoo Dolls if they don't completely control the person? #Neither Ellie nor Danny know about the effects of theses dolls #Up to you if the Justice League is real or fiction in their world #Danny usually watches out her little skits when he has free time #Ellie controls multiple dolls with her clones which is why almost every member feels it #The Justice League is freaking out when they realize someone is messing with all of them at the same time #They are rather shocked to discover its just a half dead princess playing with her toys that no one knew were voodoo dolls

yeah taimizu IS toxic and off putting actually ‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️

EDIT: TO BE CLEAR THIS IS A POST IN FAVOUR OF TAIMIZU!!! I AM A DIRTY TAIMIZU SHIPPER!!!!!

#it's funny because that was my FIRST thought about them but then i realised wait this is scratching some itch in my brain #people are all very correct about this btw and their discomfort and dislike of the ship is valid #but it's so interesting to me and that's why these days I'm leaning further into that toxic aspect of their rship in my art #that whole “strangles you with the red string of fate” drawing i did was meant to capture that as well #like this equal amount of aggression and twisted affection/attraction they have for one another #like it's very fucked up #and people are not wrong to think so but i enjoy it LOL #one of the theses of my fic is literally “theyre fucked up but they make it work” #like i dont want them to be perfectly healed and normal by today's standards #i want them to be crazy and murderous but work through their shit individually AND together and make things work #and have feral nasty sex bcs mizu deserves to be a pillow princess (TO MEEEEE) #i still have a meta drafted that actually goes in depth on their rship and why we “”“should”“” root for them #but my brain is goop rn and cramps are KILLING MEEEEE so have this first instead #taimizu #blue eye samurai #fandom.rtf #shut up haydar #wank.mp3

Fans who dunk on kataang as a ship because Katara was written flatly post OG series really grind my gears. As if her marrying Aang and having a family with him was the root cause of the LoK writers sidelining her when her peers still got to be way more invloved in the story.

I will be the first to admit that Katara's initial goals and characterization got quite lost post OG series. In a way, she was only reduced to a healer and her accomplishments outside of mothering children with Aang and banning bloodbending are not shared with the audience. For the first season of LoK, I think this is fine. This is not Katara's story anymore and her speech to Korra at the beginning of the season is her passing the torch to the next Avatar to have her own adventures. Katara at that point is basically a nice cameo. We're not supposed to think that this sliver of her life which Korra sees is all that's important about her.

This does not hold water in future seasons when it's revealed that Toph and Zuko are still alive and both have more active roles in the plot, whereas Katara did not have an active role in plot lines she should have been more involved with (water tribe civil war, for example). To some fans, this reduces the little that we do see of Katara's character in LoK to only being those parts, rather than just pieces of a more realized elder from the perspective of someone younger (Korra) who doesn't know her whole story.

The way that people blame her marrying Aang on the way her overall character was handled is so baffling to me. Do these fans honestly think she would have escaped that fate for certain if she had married Zuko or someone else, or stayed single?

#atla #lok #avatar the last airbender #legend of korra #katara #kataang #lok writers: *can't continue to write a complex female character consistently* #some fans: IT'S HER FICTIONAL HUSBAND'S FAULT #truly baffling #this post kind of has two theses my bad #tldr: the lok writers would have sidelined katara regardless of her canon endgame ship. pleae do not blame aang he has no agency

Joel is heterosexual but he has had a select few qprs !!

Most notably (unsurprisingly) with Etho, Jimmy and Grian. There was potential for one with Scar but.. we saw how that went </3

Is it still considered hating a ship if you view the ship in a, "This is a disaster that cannot work because of the characters' fundamentals" but still enjoy reading and/or writing about the ship in a dramatic, tragic manner? Like, I enjoy it when it's doomed and there are better pairings?

Yes, this is about eNVy. I don't think it's appropriate to say I hate the ship. I'm fine in principle with fics that have it, and I'll happily admit some of its fan-art is quite nice. It's just that I enjoy it from a different angle of "There might be a spark, but they're fundamentally incompatible in their current form. And that the shift in characters needed to allow it is deep in the realm of fantasy."

This all might be down to me being new to shipping discourse. Perhaps I am wrong about this whole thing, and I'm on an Advanced Level of Hate. Whatever the case, I don't want this to be taken as me attacking folks that do like the ship in a more traditional "I want this to be the case in the show" manner. Robo-lord knows there's enough toxicity in the fandom and I would rather not contribute to that; there is room enough for all of us here.

WHERE is Sievarden why is she barely in Ancillary Sword at all yet 😭

Watching Breq grieve her ancillaries and the companionship and comfort and touch they provided her, now being just one person so touch starved and heartbroken and stressed after tearing open her old wounds and remembering loving Awn and feeling that horror all over again… while also knowing full well how horrifying her past actions were and confronting that she’ll never be the same…

WHERE is Sievarden when you need her??

Also, the scene where Sievarden blatantly asks if Breq could hypothetically fuck her and Breq’s just like “I can but I won’t lol bye.” And then Sievarden with Ekalu instead just going “I would if she wanted me to” while KNOWING that Breq can hear everything onboard MoK is the funniest thing.

Please (well don’t actually spoil) tell me these two end up wrapped up in each other’s arms and holding on for dear life again

if i see one more person say that the aventurine & ratio ship is just the haikvh of hsr i think i will go absolutely nuclear w/ the block button

i have no opinion on aventurine x ratio because THEY ARENT EVEN OUT YET. THEY HAVE NOT MET IN CANON YET but god if they get the haikvh treatment im gonna mald. i cannot stand the ship at all which sucks because i LOVE kaveh & al haitham as characters but i literally cannot go into the characters tags because theres nothing there since i have the ship tags blocked.

its so frustrating to see people make expectations on characters backstories and interpersonal relationships before actual canon comes out. ive seen this happen so many times and i lived through the webttore twt fallout. speculation and being excited for a character is great and fine but youre setting yourself up for failure if the character you created in your head doesnt live up to the actual canon character then your initial excitement and joy is just. gone :(

#if you come at me with 'tHe LeAkS sAy OtHeRwIsE' go back to twt or reddit and leave people alone who actively do not look at leaks #the only leaks i look at are like. future character kits and basic character details like appearance/faction/planet/etc #not sure if tumblr still places uncensored mentions of ships/characters in the tags but justice in case #i have nothing against anyone who like theses ships/characters/dynamics #but i just obsessively curate my space #yappin

Was that what it was like to internalize an enemy so deeply that when the enemy was gone. You kept him alive? Batman knew he didn't have the leisure to chase the Joker's ghost around the inside of his own head. He had to stay focused.

Got a bit into Stormblood. I got a bit excited early on because I’ve decided my character is from Ala Mhigo (exhibit A: he is brown) and we’re here to liberate it! Got a new outfit for the occasion and equipped the ‘Liberator’ title. Only uhh. Well. The writing isn’t... doing them any favors.

They’ve built up a lot of goodwill from Heavensward so I’m gonna... I’m just gonna keep on rolling along despite the writing taking a marked downturn for the most part. The villain’s introduction was hammy and a bit camp and he clearly subscribes to Warhammer 40k rules of ‘bigger character, bigger pauldrons, Obvious Leader Material for his fascist empire’. He’s kinda fun and I get what they’re doing by making him an insurmountable threat in Act 1. He is rather silly though in several ways that I’m not sure really fit, tonally, for what they’re going for. I know a lot of people here like him a lot so I won’t say anything too critical of him but uhhh... giving him a golf bag full of swords was. A choice.

But let’s be positive. Things I like so far: Lyse and character development thereof, the main character canonically having the chance to refer to Alphinaud as ‘Alphy’ (even though I didn’t take that dialogue option for other reasons), the music and voice acting remains good.

Anyhow this was mostly an excuse to show off my fun new oufit that leans into the early dieselpunk look a bit for my whole magitek gunbreaker thing i got goin’ on. Kept the cowboy boots, though. :V
