#there is no NOTP

[skipppppy]

Shoutout to ship pairings that only work well as exes. Sometimes romantic and platonic dynamics just aren’t the vibe. Sometimes characters have too much chemistry to not be drawn to one another romantically but also the idea of them actually being together long term just doesn’t feel right in your soul. Two people who really wanted it to work but didn’t and now they’re dealing with the fallout. Show me the bitterness. The civility through gritted teeth. The alimony checks. You’ve seen the rawest, most vulnerable part of me and now you’re walking around the street as if we’re strangers. Maybe they stay friends and that unspoken resentment lays dormant just beneath the surface, both of them refusing to look it in the eye. Maybe they don’t talk at all and trail each other’s memory like a shadow. Maybe they never fell out of love but got hurt too badly the last time to try again. Maybe they kill each other

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

what’s the opposite of “i ship it”? i don’t mean anti-shipping i mean more along the lines of “this couple got together in canon and i want front rows seats to their future bloody bloody divorce“

#it’s not Notp because it’s not about erasing canon as in ‘i wish these two never got together in the first place’ #it’s ‘it would be SO funny to watch them scream at each other over who gets to keep the coffee table that both of them despise’ #it’s not ‘i hate this pairing’ but ‘their relationship would be more entertaining if it burst into absolute flames’

idk if you're still doing these but how do you think the animorphs would do against the original X-Men?

[Obligatory joke about the X-Men having an advantage because they cloned Jake to make Bobby.]

Animorphs Advantages

Trust in leadership. Full offense to Scott, but he can be bossy and overbearing to the point where it causes infighting. Jake's team will not hesitate to go up against impossible odds at his command, and basically never questions his orders in the heat of battle.

Flight hours. Warren might outweigh Tobias by a good 200 pounds, but he doesn't spend literally 15+ hours a day 7 days a week flying around hunting. And Tobias gets very good at taking out bigger opponents like David's golden eagle or the helmacron ship.

Adaptability. The Animorphs can survive in most environments most of the time, and are nigh unkillable. Jean can be taken out by a rock to the head. Scott can be taken out by a rock to Jean's head.

X-Men Advantages

Coordinated attacks. They can and do hit their enemies from multiple fonts at once: Warren goes high while Hank goes low, Jean goes mental as Bobby goes physical, so on. The Animorphs' weapons are all variations on hitting or stabbing their enemies up close.

Sheer raw power. Scott can punch a hole in a mountain. Jean may or may not be able to destroy entire planets. Bobby can make an entire city in the time it takes Scott to level one.

The fact that they actually go to school. Hank's obviously the one with the big advantage over the C- average high school dropouts, but Scott, Bobby, and Jean are also smart enough to be teachers in some continuities.

Animorphs Disadvantages

Distance. This is always their drawback, but they only have melee attacks. Scott, Jean, and Bobby can all attack from half a mile away.

Leaky communication. A ton of their strategy depends on being able to talk to each other without their enemies hearing. Even if they figure out that Jean can hear every word they're saying, they're going to be massively hampered by their inability to talk privately during battles.

X-Men Disadvantages

Compassion. Assuming that this is winner-take-all no-holds-barred fight, the X-Men will not only hesitate to kill, but are likely to stop fighting if one of their own is killed. The Animorphs have no such pangs of conscience, or at least don't let those stop them.

Lack of control. All of them are, to some extent, afraid of their own powers or hesitant to use them. You don't see Rachel beating herself up about what'd happen if she let the beast win or got too much phoenix power.

Conclusion: I'm giving this one to the mutants. Sorry, morphers.

#animorphs #x-men #all-new x-men #a v. x #cavemen vs. astronauts #uncanny x-men #me? spend 400+ words dunking on scott summers? it's more likely than you think #also - apologies for any errors in x-men minutiae #i haven't actually read most of all-new x-men or anything else with the core 5 #i still love brian michael bendis; i just abhor jean/scott so much that i straight-up cannot read them #they are my lifelong NOtp

holds head what does gosho girls even mean

gosho boys i understand cuz the quartet is originally known as 3/4 gang. gosho boys is just what EN fandom calls them

following gosho boys lineup it would be ran, kazuha, aoko, akako but this comes with a few caveat:

haibara and sera not being included is a personal offense to me

i refuse to acknowledge HakuAka. to me magic kaito is a kuroba kaito harem romcom or NOTHING

drawing 5+ people is self infillicted misery

#personal #hakuaka is my notp ngl when i heard MK is continuing i started sweating #PLEASEEEE dont make hakuba a further simp for akako

This is canon btw

If you even care

#anti milkvan #byler #otp: you said yes #notp: so you can speak

[dax-enfinity]

i hate that ship where you have to give the characters a complete 180 for them to even work on paper, and then you don’t even recognize those characters anymore because the shippers just make the ship the characters only existing trait.

[catgirl-catboy]

Reasons why someone may not like a ship without having moral beef with it:

The writing in canon was badly written.

The fanon for this ship mischaracterizes one of them in a way they can't stand.

They hate the character designs, and/or get eyestrain from them standing next to each other.

They hate one of the tropes used in the ship.

Making this ship happen would go against their headcanons.

They don't like the arc/story beats where this ship got content.

They don't like one of the CHARACTERS.

All the BNFs ship this, and they got tired of it.

An absolute jackass shipped this, and the ship was tarnished because of that.

They haven't gotten to the point in canon where they met.

It reminds them of a past relationship, and in a bad way.

They prefer another ship.

No i mean its actually so so so funny that they never tried for a second to push for or even lightly imply a merlin/morgana romance (which would be the formulaic thing to do, given that the other two leads were already paired up). They just couldnt do it. They had to be like ok we have to be real here.. not only is he gay and not only is she a lesbian, but they absolutely despise each other. Obsessed with their dynamic

#like even if theywere both in anyway shown to maybe possibly have a man/woman relationship it STILL WOULDNT WORK LMAO #merlin #morgana pendragon #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #imean yea i know theywere friends in season 1-2 dont get me wrong #BUT EVEN THEN #EVEN WHEN THEY WERE FRIENDS. they had to be like yea..thers no way this is going to work #theyre not a NOTP #theyre like the anti-otp #cause like in the first season theres some implied potential for merlin and gwen #and also morgana and arthur (before they were ahem siblings) #so its like. maybe the writers were exploring these dynamics and their potential? but never morgana and merlin #the farthest we got was when arthur thought for a second that merlin had a crush on her i think bc of something he saw taken out if context #anyway merlin is such a funny show #Magical Microagressions for Merlin #thats what its aaaalll about

[sourcabbages]

looking back on everything that happened in the vld fandom now as someone in their 20s with a more developed brain...nothing fictional shouldve ever been that serious LOL

#i didnt learn abt all the shit that went down until like a couple months ago bc i stopped watching after like s3 #ya i think the creators shouldnt have fucked with the story so much to spite the fandom #but dude if i got harassed by hoards of children (and adults) online and called p3d0 for being ok with a fictional ship #and leaked material that u arent supposed to legally have on the internet as blackmail for making kl canon #and got sent cupcakes with needles in them???? like wtf??????? #id be fuckin spiteful too #a notp can just be a notp u dont have to justify disliking something 💀 #just late night thoughts 🙏 #text #mine

[disquietiswhatitis]

Let’s try this again :)

My last poll wasn’t organized as well as it should have been. I got lazy and condensed way too many possibilities into the “Other” option. I know the primary reason why people voted that way but it still felt too chaotic. I tried to be more thorough this time around but I’m still sorry to the rarepairs I couldn’t include in a 12-answer max poll. I saw a handful of people mention some poly ships but unfortunately, I couldn’t include them either for the same reason. Similarly, I also eliminated the “show me the results” option. You want to see the results, you gotta vote lol.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT: Cat Grant isn’t included because I already know that she’s the second most popular Kara ship. I knew that even before my last attempt at a poll and probably shouldn’t have included her then, even as an “Other” option. No hate to the people who like that ship, I’m just more interested in seeing people’s preferences beyond that.

jayfeather and moleflight toxic yaoi…

Oh wow there's not even anything in the Molejay tag. Is this pair so rare it's not been done yet?

Jayfeather and Moleflight, toxic yaoi, "I named myself after the time I trounced your angelic ass" and "I've personally assigned my entire afterlife to trying to prevent you from causing chaos." They want to kiss each other sooo bad it makes them look stupid. The rituals, they are so intricate.

#Molejay #Better bones au #I'm actually not much of a Jayfeather shipper normally #I know a lot of people who really like exploring all of his potential romances but I'm only into Jaypoppy #And this specific version of Molejay #Jay and Kestrel I adore as like... ''Jay has changed my life and given me the power to question authority'' #Jay and Briar I just love as besties #I actually *hate* him and Half as a ship it's legitimately one of my NOTPs #Jay just sits with me as the sort of guy who doesn't feel romantic attraction very often and it ranks low on his list of priorities #He's too busy being a menace #Babe wake up new sexuality on the aroace spectrum just dropped. Hes Irritatoromantic #He only feels attraction based on how annoying it would be to fall in love with the person lmaooo #QPR? No. He is in a CPR. Cahoots Platonic Relationship. #Funny that the only two Jay ships that do anything for me are for two cats who would have died in the same epidemic #Bone babble

one thing that always tickles me when i wander back through the wincestiel tag is that everyone seems to be coming from WILDLY different places on which legs of the triangle really do it for them and which are just kinda there. so, let's break it down:

btw if this gets hijacked into ship-war bullshit where people openly use it to dunk on pairings they dislike, i will make it unrebloggable and bear a petty grudge against the perpetrators for the foreseeable future. some things are not for you and that's fine. just vote option one and reblog if anthropological curiosity moves you to do so.

#wincestiel #supernatural #destiel #sastiel #wincest #dean winchester #sam winchester #castiel #all 3 ships are tagged on the original post for your blacklisting pleasure; if you're seeing this and offended by NOTP ick go filter the tag
