> 3/4 of the posts are about st3ddie or just about steve

#saw one in which steve was like ''no robin you don't understand! i have never been loved! i don't know how that feels like!'' #i have several grips about that interpretation #going from the fact that's not true (dustin is clearly a big steve fan + robin herself cares about him deeply) #to the fact he probably wouldn't be introspective enough to voice his emotions this concisely not to mention he'd probably wouldn't take #a moment to realize he's never felt loved if that were the case. i mean. he could think that. when he's like 35 and more in touch with his #inner world. 19yo steve can't even get the hint that hitting on a girl who's already clearly taken (nancy) is wrong so like i don't expect #him to be that smart #but i can live with people having takes i don't agree with. my opinion doesn't have to be everyone else's opinion if you see steve that way #it fine #what bothered me was the fact he was saying this to a lesbian living in the 80s lmao #who tells him that 1) her whole life has been an error 2) she doesn't think he'd want to be close to her if he truly knew her and 3) #3) is paralyzed by fear of social suicide if she dares believe for even a second that the girl she likes may like her too #like i dont need people to do deep dives into robin lore and quote from memory lines from Surviving Hawkins abt robin feeling like she's #rotten inside. not supposed to have friends. feeling like something is wrong with her and that pushes people away etc etc #the fact that she's a lesbian should tell you enough abt who has the biggest chances of being loved 😭 #also bothered me that it showed up when looking up posts abt internalized homophobia because?? where's the internalized homophobia therw #unless it's gay steve feeling bad abt it in an AU (as if canon robin didn't go through it) #like look im not bothered to find steve-centric content in the robin tag cos people are gonna tag her in posts mentioning her. #she's his friend. #but there are barely any posts at all about robin's internalized homophobia. like i saw 2 or 3. compared to all the steve or steddie ones #where's the love for my babygirl 😭😭 #anti steddie #not really but y'know i don't wanna bother anyone #edit: the bit about there being like 3 posts on robin w internalized homophobia isn't exactly true. there are a few. but they still feel #drowned in st3ddie posts #like something isn't right here

We talk a lot about there being zero content for a niche thing you're into but ohhhh my god. Oh my GODDD WHY IS IT SO TORTUOUS. OH MY GOD WHY. KILL ME. PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY LIKE OLD YELLER. OH MY GOD WHY

#ramblings of a lunatic #you mean to tell me... if i want content of nightwing!damian...i can't just scroll through the tags for hours...i have to MAKE IT??? #blasphemous. insulting and disturbing. no thank you #i can barely draw regular style dick OR damian now you're telling me i have to come up w a design for future damian? #and then proceed to draw it consistently? in scenarios? I'd rather be turned into paste #seriously though I'm at a loss as to how there's so little content of nightwing!damian that isn't reverse robins #did you guys not read nightwing (2016) issues 16 to 20??? #did u not read the part where dick sees a vision of himself as a twisted corrupted nightwing (called deathwing. hehehe stupid)- #-who is brought back to the side of good and the light by an adult damian going by nightwing??? did u not read that and be reborn????? #wild. crazy even. we could not be living more different lives (@the hypothetical audience I'm tyrannically rambling at) #anyway.

showing my growth by rejecting the “every ship gets happily married and becomes wonderful parents to lovely children” mindset and admitting that many pairings should just not be parents

#long gone are my days of woobifying shadow and sanitizing sonadow down to aw cute hedgehogs and one of them is traumatized #they are RIVALS and shadow will never be that lovey dovey with sonic even if they have been dating for 30 years thats just not who he is #they can find happiness/contentment in each other like i imagined but that sprinkle of toxicity would never rlly go away #and again even if theyre perfectly happy existing like that. not a good environment for a kid! #i dont even imagine them getting married anymore like i still like my idea of the ''cat orphanage w a chao garden'' house that they live in #but they wouldnt be married. they'd be partners and sonic would live there. but he'd ''live there'' in the same way he lives with tails #in that. its a place to come back home to when needed but a lot of the time hes just elsewhere exploring and having adventures and stuff #and shadow would probably tag along on a lot of these adventures. but not all of them #also feeds into part of my idea for the future which has always been present which is just. sonic being romantically involved w a couple #other ppl (knuckles for example) #those relationships dont have a label theyre just friends and then sometimes theyll kiss or go on dates or something #he and shadow are partners. thats concrete. everything else is just fluid/undefined (also should clarify that this is in like a poly way lol #shadow is aware of these relationships and has no problem with them and sonic knows that) #anyways i didnt mean to ramble but i have been thinking about this recently #how i'd modify my older idea of sonadow in the future #thats the end. ps once again promoting the poly sonic agenda. if you look at him and you dont think hes poly. youre just wrong im sorry #(excluding aroace sonic enjoyers for obvious reasons lol) #serena.txt

[infizero-draws]

in reference to hermitshipping/trafficshipping on this blog btw, i've historically never used those tags (other than a few instances where i felt it might be especially needed) on my art just bcuz

1) a lot of times for my art its very vague. like scar and grian are just talking here seemingly but if i myself had shipping intentions when i drew this, should i tag it as trafficshipping?? that's the kind of vagueness that made me decide to just not in general. because

2) i post a LOT of trafficshipping content, so i don't see a need to tag it. if you're someone who doesn't like that content, just block me 👍

#i *will* try to be better about tagging specific ship names tho. that kind of presents a similar problem with the desert duo content but #ehhh i was already kind of doing that anyways. only some of my desert duo content is tagged as scarian even though all of it to me #IS scarian. idk esp since i see them as like secret third thing and not ''normal'' romantic relationship it makes it esp hard for me to #know when to tag that stuff bcuz its like. what is and isnt considered ''romantic''???? explodes #but anyways yes i will try to be better w tagging specific ship names but if you dont like shipping in general i would just block lol #not art #(this isnt targeted at that anon btw they just made me realize that i should probably talk about this lol)

[volfoss]

as a guy that loves getting into obscure media that like. maybe 5 people talk about now. it is interesting the difference between consuming media that is SUPER popular and everyone loves your fave (a curse i would never wish upon anyone. the posts will never be good) and a media that like. there is NO ONE actively posting about. it has barely any fan presence online. and honestly its kind of peaceful

#twist rambles #like. being into the wit/cher books and games and show (the good one. the hexer) was a hellish experience. there was such isnane shipping o #that old man everywhere. there were 5 million bad takes. there were ibs whump fics (which is a plus. more of those should exist). #and it was just like. 50 million incorrect characterizations of my faves. it made me a bit insane. but then irt vol/foss and gan/gsta #its like. peaceful silence. like gan/gsta actually well. has like a minor audience i just have a lot of the tag blocked bc racism is insane #esp when ur like wow ^-^ would love if this complexly written black character was treated half as nicely as the popular guy in that media. #it does not happen. but w vol/foss. there is NOTHING on ao3 (good for me due to loving to torture myself and friends w bad fanfic) and mayb #five posters in the tumblr tag. like NO ONE is really actively playing this that ik of. even on the jp side there hasnt been a ton of #interest for A DECADE. but its weirdly peaceful other than i CANNOT talk to anyone whos played it and go insane over how well its written #its so dire that ive contemplated emailing the person who made a rly helpful fansite back in. 2004 or earlier. and being like hi. thank you #nearly 20 years later lmao. like im glad both of those medias arent super popular BUT it does mean i rly have to make all the content for i #or pester chris for 5 million hours as im in the vol/foss agony mines. but all of that to be said. popular media is such a hellhole for fan #content most of the time. so its been weirdly nice to just be peacefully vibing. even w f/e im still on shadow dragon so its VERY like ok i #care abt this old man that everyone else doesnt like so i can just. peacefully exist.

[palebloodpresence]

what if i said my genuine opinion of "rom the vacuous spider" is that she's actually not like, peaceful because she's stupid, she's just extremely fucking chill bc she's so enlightened. like she WILL defend herself but really she just wants to hide in her cool lake world and hide dark rituals

#idk i have crazy amount of thoughts on rom lately (makes a post thats half tags) (im sorry in advance) #like that she was blessed by kos.... now how you interpret HER and her relationship w the fishing hamlet may vary but like #kos strikes me as sympathetic towards humans (who are not hunters. it is the HUNTERS nightmare. though ive always wondered) #(why are there research patients there? what did THEY do?) #(anyway. idk i like to think that rom was very kind (if a bit. dumb maybe? but like tbh thats so subjective.) and thats why kos blessed her #thats extremely cheesy and sappy for bloodborne ikik but like. ye #though ive also seen other theories on how she might have ascended that ARENT related to kos giving her eyes #or ones that focus on the cut content abt kos being ebrietas's name at one point in development #which has VERY different implications (+ tbh? more likely #ebrietas has a more confirmed affinity for helping humans and also the whole 'altar of despair' grieving #(which re the character model: tbh i think its MEANT to be rom #but they didnt design it very accurately) #anyway thats all thank u for coming to my impromptu ted talk #OH WAIT edit i forgot to add i think we should consider WHO is calling her vacuous. the brygenwerth scholars? we know SO little about #1. who she was #and 2. where she earned this title. for fucks sake shes not even that spider shaped. whos to say this moniker is accurate? #not trying to start shit. i would love her even if no thoughts head empty #but like i hc her as niceys idk

[piningprecussionist]

(Not an rp ask)

What is your opinion on chau x kim? I'm not a shipper of it myself but I heard it was a proship since knives is 17 but also I saw she was 18 in the comic so I'm not sure where to stand on it honestly. But I'd like to hear your opinion about it !! Sorry if this is a bit of a random ask (ーー;

You're completely fine!! Do not even worry about it.

So, yeah- When Scott first meets Knives, and I'm not entirely sure how much time passes between then and when they start dating, it was *literally* her seventeenth birthday, as I am reminding myself reading back over these panels presently. And then at the start of book six, the first time we see (real, non-dream,) Knives, she has apparently been eighteen for a week!

Now, I'm going to preface with a little something before I go further into this: I am totally fine answering this ask and others like it I think! but, I will note, I do get like a (not fun) physical sensation in my chest- partly anxiety (lol) but also something else I think- thinking about them like 95% of the time- it's gotta be like. Handled The Right Way, if that makes sense. Let's get into it.

So, first off, I'm just gonna re: some of the stuff relative to this I've posted here before- both nonrp and rp, since I use RP to develop my read on Kim and shed some light on how I see things I guess!

These clips come from this ask (and reblog) here!

This rp ask here, which is simply too difficult for me to get in a good screenshot I feel, so I recommend just checking it and the tags for it out- I will share my Bonus Commentary reply though:

This ask as well! Tags less pressing, but still provide a little insight.

And this is probably a dumb inclusion if I really want to make a pseudonym to post fics under, but. I have posted my (very early) thoughts on the SPTO sparks scene to AO3 before, so- (and before going into this- I did remember that Julie and Gideon have that sparks scene after the fact!)

And here's the Barely Anything Lines hinting at the ship that I had in that fic that I used to justify that blurb, while we're here:

I think I've gone over my feelings a little bit in the discord as well, and there might even be more rp stuff relative to it, but I'm not going to go back and get any of that honestly- at least, not right now, or unless requested, since I don't really feel like it's necessary, if it does exist. This gives a pretty good glimpse in I'd say- especially that second to last one there.

So. Yeah.

Used to ship it; have expanded my horizons since then. I don't really want to knock it because like... for some people this is a legitimate life experience for them- one that might have even turned out well, miraculously. And there also a lot of minors in this fandom evidently, so like, any other baby gays out there just wanting to Project for a minute? I feel that. Sincerely I do. It's not the wisest choice but better to read fanfiction about it than go out and actually make out with a 23 year old, Gods forbid. (Genuinely felt sick thinking about that; fucking gross. Any minors out there: Please Make Good Choices. Look out for yourselves. Begging you. There are too many freaks in this world- I promise you whoever you're thinking of probably isn't the magical exception.)

But there are definitely things to consider about them that are very interesting to me, still, so like. I'm in this weird state of conflict; I don't know if it's just me being like "it happened, you can't escape it" or having been desensitized/some sort of Brainwashed by how many times I had to use Knives in the game to quick heal- maybe something else but I just don't feel like flaying myself open like that unprompted for just anyone- but like. Oh man.

Sorry, gathering/writing this that feeling like went away but came circling back for this last bit, it seems. Which makes sense I guess. I feel like I'm setting myself up for a Pyre right now eugh shfsgkjfhjg

I dunno. I'm not gonna lie and pretend like I know it to be some big formative ship for me in my early teen years, but it was kind of important in finally coming around to realizing how queer I was, I think. My memories of the time are fuzzy, but it would have been one of the things- there were likely larger ones, my current obsession could be recoloring my past here so I'm trying to acknowledge that.

But there is like. A dynamic that is posited by them that is also one I'm a really big sucker for. More so now than I was then, so I find myself grinding my teeth about that a fair bit at times.

I definitely still really like it as something unrequited no matter what I think; I like the idea of Knives having a really big crush on Kim, genuinely. I think it's cute and funny as hell for how uncomfortable it would make Kim, who's just trying so hard not to be a fucking creep while this ray of sunshine hangs off her- something she absolutely does not deserve (in her eyes.)

I'm obviously more partial to Kim resisting any advances made at her, but I can understand so, so badly why someone might be attracted to the idea of Knives managing to thaw some of Kim's frigidity with that. Ugh.

If they work for me, I think they'd have to work for me after Knives is gone at college for a bit. Kim would need to know Knives for longer than she knew her as a minor- and they'd have to be FRIENDS in that time, quite strictly. Kim would need to not feel (intensely, because frankly, she would unavoidably feel this way at least a little no matter what,) like she was a fucking groomer going into it, basically. I don't know what I think past that.

You know, I'll put my feelings like this: with the exception of a fic I saw recommended to someone that intrigued me, I have managed to resist reading any/many fics featuring them, despite it being a large majority of the wlw Kim fics that exist, and also kinda just Kim fics generally. It's kind of Insane, especially considering how much Kimona SCREAM at you from the pages of the comic itself- but I digress....

I've been working on this for like over an hour now I think so I really should cut myself off. I am like,, too hungry and mildly stoned to be rambling off about this maybe. If you want more concise/specific thoughts, I recommend prompting! I can try and channel the responses easier with a bit more direction, maybe?

...

actually another thing real quick- I like. Do not know that I could ever feel comfortable, truly, consuming content for them, not knowing if the OP has good intentions. I just Do Not trust people, largely, so that's just like. A little thing. Idk. "Death to the author" or whatever but I am still allowed to feel personally uncomfortable ya know! I don't want them taking my silent observation as like,, passive acceptance in the event that they were. Idk if that makes sense, I need to go eat already, I'm hitting post before i drag this out to TWO hours

#w oof. that was a doozy. mostly just on account of how long ive been working at it #but yeah. they fuck me up in some sort of way idk man. i cannot stress enough how much i want to bite people that are freaks about knives + #+ btw. like Going For The Throat I Need You To Bleed Out And Die want to bite people. so even considering it casually i find myself feeling #+like i am a massive hypocrite with the word scrawled in blood across my back or something. but im just a starving gay sdfjkhjsd #and i love Kim So Much. Denying myself Kim content is Actual Hell. and I have persisted. #(i mean. i also probably read some of this stuff back when i was a teenager. so. idk how much im really denying myself. but it's the + #+ thought that counts right? right?? hh... i likely dont remember any of them anyway so. it should totally count.) #ooc #txt #glitterminionking12 #am i really gonna put these in the tags.... hhhh yeah i guess i am #if any of the people that know me read this and can see i am shooting myself in the foot here please slap me in the discord i'll understand #i might just be having a Moment #sp comic #spvtw #spto #kim pine #knives chau #possibly the only post- unless i get asked about it more- that is gonna get the ship tag for them i guess? what even is their ship name... #ship stuff #no seriously what is their ship name im sitting here blanking i dont know how to tag this for people that dont wanna see it. or do i guess #knikim #sounds kinda like knick-em in my mind so im doing that for now #since starting to type any of the ones i thought of doesnt make a suggested tag pop up or anything #if there is one someone please tell me maybe and ill tag it #long post #headcanons #i guess? #spvtwtg #forgot that one

never seen a more severe case of 'fandom shipping brain to the point where one ship makes up most of a character's tag' before willow park girl i am so sorry

#skye's ramblings #willows been my favorite since s1 she is such a good character n no one cares abt her unless shes with their favorite white boy!! cmon #ihave almost nothing against hunt//Iow aside from the completely personal arospec 'i prefer them as besties' that i feel w most ships #and there is sooo much discourse surrounding this ship its insane to me but thats a tangent. anyway #i simply think that when i scroll 20 or so posts into the willow tag i should not only b able to count 4 not-hunt//Iow posts. yknow #imiss when i could go through her tag and find bestie shenanigans with luz and gus and art that actually centered around. her specifically #and when the most shipping content i saw of her was with luz. i love Iu//mity n dont think willow needed a partner at all but that was cute #one day a popular show will give me a canon wlw poc4poc relationship. one day #'theres a lot of discourse but thats a tangent' and this is also a tangent. adhd. bye

Hrm

#so like…… uh #I always feel scared? to post content I make be it fanart or cosplays of lore olympus anymore to tumblr bc like ppl bash it so much lately #when rlly it’s like super a matter of people conflating ‘media I just personally don’t like and am not into’ to being ‘problematic’ #I’ve heard every reason why people think it’s evil but like. just say you don’t like the romance genre… #it’s just supposed to be a cute and fun romance novel in webcomic format #like every claim against it on why it’s ‘evil bad’ I can refute (obviously like not just little personal ‘I don’t like this thing’ but like #@ the people who get so heated over it) #I say this also as a Greek person who has literally done a lil bit of acedemic university level research on the Homeric hymn to demeter #the comic isn’t trying to be an ~aCcUrAtE iNtErPrEtAtiOn~ it’s trying to be a romance story riffing off the concept #(not to mention people blatantly misunderstanding LO!Persephone as a character #like to the point where they’re literally just being ironic since she’s so misunderstood by a lot of people in the comic too) #(like just say you hate height differences also. as someone who is short and looks younger than I am like these people r literally just sayi #saying things that make me feel like oh so then I should never be in love bc even though I’m an adult I might not look old enough to have a #parter who’s even the same age as me bc that’s the same thing as a child w an adult. which is like. that’s already something I have always #struggled with and internalized and been paranoid about and unfortunately since I track various mythology tags I constantly get stuff like #that spewed at me and hooo boy does it make me feel inadequate #not to mention the fact that now in the comic Persephone is literally thirty years old bc there was a time skip #I get it this might not be your favorite interpretation of Demeter but it works for the context of this story #it’s not trying to be the ~canon~ Demeter. it’s trying to be functional to the story lo is telling #anywho…. nyall just let me have my silly little romance story…. not everything has to be a fight over problematic or not…. #just let me have a silly little romance story to sigh about pls….

One of the most self indulgent aus I've made in a while :3c Sol gets eebied and has a bad time, more at 10

[image id: a digital drawing of a pokemon trainer oc, Sol, showing how they change across a span of time in four stages. In each drawing, they are a white person with brown hair shaved on one side, blue eyes, and glasses. Their clothes change periodically as time passes.

In the first stage, labeled "First Day," Sol is wearing the survey corps uniform from the galaxy team, which consists of a red cap, a blue coat with fluffy white collars on the neck and sleeves, blue pants, tall socks, and woven sandals. They are standing visibly uncomfortably, pulling the collar away from their neck with one hand and grimacing at the scarf they're holding in the other hand. Around them are various notes, pointing out the fact that they are a scarf and hat hater, and that the sandals feel weird.

In the second stage, labeled "First ~Month" Sol is now wearing mostly their usual clothes, with some alterations. They still wear the survey corps coat, though now unbuttoned, and nothing else from the uniform. They have on their usual purple shirt, ripped grey jeans, and black shoes. They are also still wearing their black and yellow striped jacket, though it's around their waist to make room for the survey corps coat. They seem much more confident now, holding a pokeball in one hand and partially leaning forward/crouching down determinedly. Around them are notes pointing out some burns on their clothes, how their jeans have ripped much more than they were previously, and the arctrans on their wrist (previously an xtrans).

In the third stage, labeled "Red Sky," Sol is no longer wearing the survey corps coat. Their black and yellow jacket is properly on now, and their outfit is otherwise the same as it was before, though the colors are beginning to fade and they're much more damaged than they were before. Sol is hunched forward nervously, gripping their sleeve in one hand and a pokeball in the other. Their hair is much longer and flatter, reflecting the fact that they are visibly falling apart.

In the fourth and final stage, labeled "Post Red Sky" Sol is still wearing the same outfit as previous stage. The colors are much more faded now, making the jacket seem more grey and pale yellow than their previous vibrant colors. They glare out at the world, clutching a pokeball threateningly, other hand clenched into a fist as if ready to punch someone at a moments notice. Their hair has a significant amount of grey in it now, whereas previously it had only been a few sparse streaks. Various notes around them say that they got a haircut, are now extremely distrustful, and that while they won't wear the survey corps coat anymore, they did put the patches onto their coat (more for identification purposes than any real loyalty to the team).

The background is an abstract block of color, starting with yellow and progressing into red as time passes. End id]
