if were talking crack!ships, whats your favorite flashback future one? i think im gonna have to go with Vera x Lorraine, because I just recently found out that that is apparently a thing someone has come up with and i was flabbergasted. its a pretty good one though.

HALLIE I do actually enjoy Vera x Lorraine bc it gets them both out of my hair

KYLE That assumes they don't team up

HALLIE I think they'd tire each other out though, like puppies Evil ones

KYLE I'm a sucker for any Hopper with a variant, like Hopper x Joe (disguised as Hopper) and Hopper x Evil Hop. There's just something really funny to me about shipping Hopper with himself, but with unnecessary extra steps added on

And then of course Dopper. I'm never not sharing this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15855315

TOM I actually don’t have any good crack ships Because they don’t compel me properly

KYLE How so?

TOM They do not spark joy The way actual ships do

HALLIE

KYLE It's not a crack!ship but I still think it's impressive that Xoc/Loell never happened. A sign of how strong the Xosha ship was

Now I gotta think of a new crack!ships tho

BLOOD BARMS AND ANEENS, WHY NOT. ALL OF THEM. ONE GIANT SHIP

EMILY On the Patreon I wrote a whole short story about Vespari befriending Haymish to resolve the angsty Haymish plotline so probably that

KYLE I've been writing a Cookie Crew visual novel in my spare time. Don't know if anything will happen, but it exists almost entirely to create crack!ships for Anastasia Brackleberry, including: -Anastasia x Eraf's Shadow -Anastasia x Hereafter Character (Booker?) -Anastasia x A.Lex x Madeline (Less as a throuple, more as a mediator) -Anastasia x Joe in Sexy Hop form -Anastasia x Badasstasia (An edgy clone of Anastasia) -Anastasia x a sentient castle

Some examples from the visual novel:

ERAF'S SHADOW ENDING CG-Eraf’s shadow dramatically holding Anastasia in a dip, but also saving her

ANASTASIA O-Oh!

ERAF’S SHADOW …

ANASTASIA Did you… come for me?

ERAF’S SHADOW …

ERAF [Off-screen] Queen Brackleberry!

ERAF [Rushing in] Are you okay?

ANASTASIA [Flustered sprite]

ERAF There you are!

ERAF’S SHADOW …

ERAF Sorry, she can have a mind of her own sometimes.

ANASTASIA [Flustered] Y-you don’t say.

BADASSTASIA ENDING ANASTASIA That’s not very nice.

BADASSTASIA But aren’t you tired of being nice?

BADASSTASIA [Seductively] Don’t you wanna go ape shit?

ANASTASIA [Flustered/blushing] Oh!

Shipping is fun and all but I swear every single time someone makes a comment, whether as a joke or in a legitimate analysis, about there being "no other explanation" for a pair's interactions, I lose just a bit more of my sanity

Like, no, you guys don't get it. Romance is not about the Amount of devotion, it's about the COLOR. the FLAVOR of it all. a character can be just as devoted to their platonic friend as they are to their romantic partner, and they don't love either of them more, just differently.

But because the majority of people still have it stuck in their minds that romance exists on the highest tier of love, I'm stuck seeing endless takes that boil down to "these two care about each other too much for it to NOT be romantic" as if that's the core determining factor to how literally any of this works

In conclusion: stop telling me that I don't understand the story if I don't interpret the leads as romantic, I am TIRED

#analysis #meta #miscellaneous #fandom #shipping #media discussion #amatonormativity #lgbtq #I feel like tagging any of the fandoms I was thinking of when writing this would be a little mean-spirited potentially #Disclaimer: no one has actually been telling me personally that I don't understand any story in particular #It's just that the way people tend to phrase their analyses feels unnecessarily targeted at the reader and that's just. not great #even if I agree with every other point they make

You know those "write badly!" posts that sometimes makes the rounds to encourage all you lovely writers that it's okay that not everything is a masterpiece?

Yeah, those.

I just want all you authors out there not feeling good enough to know that i just decided to reread one of the worst fics I've ever read. Because it's one of the best fics I've ever read.

The plot is simplistic at best. The language is horrible. The pacing is nowhere to be found behind all the "and then!!!" the author peppers their writing like a carbonara with.

But

The characters. The insights into their motivations is fucking master thesis level. I cry just thinking about the way the author predicted where canon was headed years ago. And the way they Preemptively fixed all the ooc-ness the mangaka is now struggling to wrap up.

It's been living in my head rent-free for years and i wouldn't want it any other way. Just with slightly less "and then!!"

So yes, write badly.

In three years time some sucker will come back for seconds because they loved it for all the things you Did manage to do right.

#writing #writeblr #fanfiction #it frustrates me that this is literally the worst written fic I've ever finished #but it's also in my top 3 for that ship #just goes to show greatness doesn't have to be good

Sirius: So how’s fatherhood treating you?

Regulus: Good. I didn’t expect this much crying, though

Remus: Don’t worry, Reg, it’s normal for babies

Regulus: What? No, Harry is fine. I was talking about James

James, sobbing from the nursery: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

the straw hat crew are so relatable bc if i was blinded by the sheer optimism of a guy who told me he was gonna support my dream no matter what, i'd pledge my loyalty on the spot too

#this is not necessarily ship art but. it can be if u want #one piece #opla #one piece live action #one piece fanart #straw hats #monkey d. luffy #opla spoilers #i guess???? maybe???????#nami is meant to be squinting against the glare but it didnt come off great so she kind of just looks confused abt her own reaction lol

I love Arcane because on the one hand you have this bitter, angry young woman who was kidnapped and illegally detained in a federal prison for pretty much the entirety of her teen years, and when she's finally set free she finds that nothing is as she remembers it, all the people she once knew are either gone or irreversibly changed, and she doesn't know where her place in the world is anymore.

And then on the other hand you have this rich girl nepo baby rookie cop taking two steps outside her own neighborhood and being hit with the realization that her government REALLY FUCKING SUCKS.

And they're gay.

#i just love watching caitlyn slowly becoming more and more radicalized as she realizes #oh hey wow the way our society and government are structured is really fucked actually #anyway arcane is great definitely in my top five shows of all time #arcane #arcane league of legends #caitvi #vicait #violyn #piltover's finest #jesus why do they have so many ship names
