#these are all valid ships and i love them all

[koriandrprincessoftamaran]

I get it

E/riel’s have been disappointed & shook since the BC.

I understand there are aggressive shippers out there on all sides with ✨ ZERO ✨ emotional intelligence & can’t help themselves from being actual villains.

All that to say, the biggest difference between Elriel v. Gwynriel/Elucien is we do actually use canon with complete context & build upon that. Canon from multiple series most times. We’ve kept up with the story.. We actually understand the narrative THE AUTHOR is wanting to convey. It’s both.. iykyk

If Elriel’s actually follow cannon you’ll end up with chosen love (if Elain even gives him a chance after that BC), their powers don’t sing or dance for the other, Elain has a bond trailing her forever, & Az leaves Elain for his mate when his bond snaps (bc it’s canon he wants a mate bond. He straight up says he’s envious of RHYS & CASSIAN. Az, quite literally, waited 500 years for a MATING BOND to snap with Mor.).

It’s clear y’all don’t understand that Elain’s treatment of Lucien is NOT unique to Lucien as a character. She’d be treating Az the same way if that bond snapped in Hybern, the same way y’all don’t understand that Azriel’s visceral longing for a mate is NOT unique to Elain as a character.. the same way y’all don’t realize that if Lucien never said anything, y’all wouldn’t have your favorite scene of them sitting in the garden.

I’ve seen a few post lately saying we’ve read too many fanfics, have confused cannon, & that we’re envious of Elriel… that’s what’s prompted this rant lol… This take is rich coming from the ship that had fics with Azriel’s shadows playing/DANCING for Elain, only for that dream to be drowned in a muddy grave in chapter 60 & in the BC of ACOSF.. yet y’all still are out here trying to explain that away or try to spin it as a positive… An Elriel shipper had an artist commission them as Eric & Ariel. At first I thought that commission was supposed to be an uno reverse of irony & apparently it’s not, it was actually for Elriel month & intended to only have one level of irony… Who’s really envious & confusing canon here?

Never seen an Elucien post saying “Darn, I wish Lucien’s power didn’t come out when he was trying to get to Elain, I wish his power was absent around her like Az’s shadows. Shoot, I really wish Lucien didn’t give Elain incredibly thoughtful gifts for solstice & ask Fayre multiple questions about Elain so he could know her as a person. Really wish he didn’t fight his way through a battle field just to see Elain. Actually, I just wish Lucien didn’t think of Elain’s well being at all, he should’ve NEVER thought about her still not eating, how thin she was, & how much that look in her eyes worried him.”

Never seen a Gwynriel post saying “Aw man, I wish Azriel didn’t notice how Gwyn’s freckles crinkle on her nose when she smirks & I wish he didn’t bait her into a challenge like he did with the obstacle course. I really freaking hate that his shadows danced with Gwyn after we got direct confirmation they don’t do that for Elain. Darn, really wish Az thought of his hands tainting Gwyn when we got his PoV.”

It’s absolutely hilarious that they’ll try it when I have YET so see an Elucien proof of ship post that isn’t straight from the books (with the complete context of the quote) & have it not support the overarching narrative THE AUTHOR is wanting to convey regarding a fated mate.. I just.. y’all, it’s okay to be wrong.

If I need to spell it out for you, the overarching theme is ✨ like calls to like ✨ & the mating bond transcends all… I’d hope we all know this as we’ve had to read that saying 832 times & have 832 examples of mates CHOOSING to accept the bond after getting to know them & healing.

We speak with 100% conviction bc it’s OBVIOUS! Elucien’s have been nothing but validated by SJM each time she released a book building more tension for Elucien to explore.. ACOSF was 100% validation for her Elucien’s.. I see Elriel theories & posts all the time bc I follow the Azriel tags. I don’t engage unless the Elriel tag is missing bc I won’t hop on a post that’s obviously for their discussion & rants. Tho, when I do go snoop, I have never seen a Elriel theory or take that can’t be disproven BY THE BOOKS aka THE AUTHOR..

I get it

We’ve all waiting YEARS for SJM to finish a series & we want to see our characters HEA.

I have ✨ ZERO ✨ problem with yall shipping Elriel, it’s just the fact y’all still scream that “your book” is next.. Sweetheart, there’s no book… & it’s that y’all copy & paste Elucien/Gwynriel characteristics & dynamics onto your ship. Like, yall do realize the depth of irony you put yourselves in every.. single.. time?

Just enjoy your side of the fandom & understand that the ship YOU WANT can ONLY be achieved through fanfics or realize that your ship is actually just a pick’N’choose of Elucien & Gwynriel.

I’m sorry that I’m not sorry for considering y’all a joke at this point in the maasverse. Every Elriel take or “proof” I see ends with me laughing my ass off, bc it’s comedic gold the amount of hoops y’all need to jump through. Realistically, only thing Elucien’s & Gwynriel’s need to do is just sit back & wait. Because on this day of May 6th, 2024, we should know that something greater than the cauldron chooses mates, Elain & Lucien are STILL CONFIRMED TO BE MATES, Elain has yet to have an on page conversation with Lucien discussing the future of their bond, Azriel’s shadows still ONLY dance for Gwyn or Azriel, & Az’s chest still ONLY sparked for Gwyn…

ALAIS, Elucien’s have been trying to help manage y’all’s expectations since 2016 & now have us Gwynriel’s to back them up bc it’s allllll in the books babes! (We can pull evidence from all of her series that supports SJM’s theme of like calls to like, mating language, & mating behaviors to show actual proof of our ship)

Honestly, it doesn’t matter how much y’all try to “I know you are, but what am I?” us to death, it still won’t change the fact that after the CoN scene & chapter 60 in ACOSF, y’all should’ve just taken that L with grace & dignity..

I know the best thing to do is not engage or add to the flame & that they bait, I just can’t help it. I work in the legal field & arguing a point is in my blood! 💀 I get it, don’t yuck others yums, it’s just so funny that we are still neck deep in discourse with them about mates getting a book together… in a contracted fated mates series..

#pro gwynriel #pro elucien #anti e/riel #whats done is done #and the gag is #the call is coming from inside the house #today tomorrow or next year e/riel sank

ALL OF THIS LONGASS POST IS JUST MY OPINION. I REPEAT, JUST MY OPINION:

Remember when 90% of the fandom shipped Buck with Eddie, or if not, at least hc bi Buck and/or gay Eddie? We were basically a united queer front. And now that Buck's bi narrative is being told through the lens of a romantic connection to another dude some viewers are gravitating toward that romance. Which I personally don't see as them gravitating away from the depth or importance of Buddie's relationship, it's just that another romantic queer option has been presented and it's drawing some fans. Why not? And it's simply not possible for Bucktommy shippers to be "betraying Buddie" because it's a freakin' ship, not a religion. They've just developed a new ship preference for their own reasons, and that's fine. (or enjoying things as they are for the moment which is also fine).

And I think the reason Tommy/Lou/Bucktommy has thrived and become popular when previous love interests didn't goes deeper than "those girls are getting in the way of our ship." At least not directly. It's that even bringing in those women in was always a sad attempt at "romances" when the network knew damn well the bulk of fandom wanted to see a queer narrative for them with or without Buddie (yes Buddie was the driving interest, but still, it was a bigger issue than that or at least I thought so) The audience preference was clear so the only reason for FOX to keep insisting on female love interests with not a breath of the words gay or bisexual beyond "wink-nudge jokes" was to aggressively tell us THEY'RE CLOSE BROS, YOUR SHIP IS JUST CLOSE BROS FOREVER AND EVER SO START SHIPPING THEM WITH THEIR GIRLFRIENDS RIGHT NOW! OH YOU DON'T LIKE THOSE GIRLFRIENDS? OKAY, HOW ABOUT THESE ONES?

That shit immediately put a sour taste in my mouth. And FOX would have kept the cycle going forever, sending in a revolving door of girlfriends whilst we continued to insist on seeing the clearly more meaningful and important queer narrative onscreen. So while I do ship Buck + Happiness at the end of the day, queer rep was important enough to me that the only girlfriend I would have accepted or welcomed would have needed to be bisexual (or pan, or demi, something) to wake him up to his queer identity beyond just being another shallow (comphet) love interest.

Tommy being the character to wake Buck to his queer identity automatically makes him more meaningful and important in the narrative than Buck's girlfriends. If I was placing bets I'd still put my money on Buddie as the probable endgame, that's just me, but there are good reasons why previous love interests were pushed off the show by fan rejection (some of which had to do with problematic actresses *cough*honorary latina*cough*) and why Tommy/Lou/Bucktommy is being embraced by so many.

****caveat: I don't mean to imply that there weren't some buddie fans coming from a place of misogyny when ripping apart past female love interests, I just think for the most part that criticism was a wild oversimplification, painting our whole fandom with the same ugly brush in order to invalidate our very valid pro-buddie (at least or pro-queer Buck and/or Eddie) arguments.

Seeing several people GENUINELY think that Raeda and Huntlow aren’t canon PURELY because neither of them kissed like Luz and Amity did is REALLY SHOWING that people’s media analysis skills are getting worse 😐

#toh spoilers #toh #raeda #huntlow #LEMME CLARIFY THAT QPR RAEDA AND HUNTLOW TRUTHERS ARE VERY VALID!!! I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT Y'ALL!! #also as if Willow and Hunter didn't get the SMOOTH ASS ANIMATION that they use for badass and romantic scenes #and as if Eda didn't give Raine a few pecks on their cheek!! #and both of them were put RIGHT NEXT to Luz and Amity #also they're both good examples of ships that you can feel their care and love for each other WITHOUT a smooch #I LOVE Luz and Amity and all their kisses but I have a soft spot for these two <3 (can you tell I'm aspec??) #fandom salt

Daisy and Basira's relationship is such a sweet agony, because at its foundation it's so transparent, so honest. They both know what they're doing, however much they pretend to lie or hide it. Such is the situation they're in that there's no choice but to cling to eachother.

Have you ever been in that sort of situation? The type where the closest person to you is deeply morally flawed and you're realising just how in the wrong you are, but their hand is the only one to grasp. You see the claws along their fingertips and you turn your head and hold them close.

On many occasions Basira talks about the wrong Daisy's done, she knows where Daisy's kill spot is, she figured that's where Jon would be. And yet she never tries to convince everyone that she's capable of fixing daisy, because she knows she's not. Daisy knows this just as well, and perhaps it's a foundation of their trust.

To be loved is to be changed but to be changed is to be hated; a relationship where you accept each others flaws is a commodity, and a rare one at that. Whether those flaws are mundane or deeply damaging, these kinds of connections have a tendancy to grow beyond the point of return.

To know that you're in the wrong together is a comfort. It's not good, nor is it right, but it's a place you can sit. A place you can stay. And as your comfort grows so does that leeching wrongness you protect, and in the end it may just eat you up.

To continue the way Daisy and Basira did was what drove them towards their end, but even at that last painful moment there was a tenderness, a rose in the thorns that makes the wounds worthwhile.

#I know a lot of people struggle with Daisy as a character because a lot of her traits are really triggering which is totally valid #But she's just stunningly written and her connection to Basira is painfully beautiful #Exploring sapphic love in a wrong‚ bloodied‚ awful‚ painful way is something that's so important... #And even if you don't ship them just that connection #Even the most evil people have beauty to their lives and that's one of the reasons so many folks are swept up into bad ways #But regardless of the meaning of her story I do love Daisy #(and of course I'm obsessed with Basira but I feel like that goes without saying) #tma #the magnus archives #the magnus institute #daisy tonner #basira hussain #jonathan sims #tma analysis #tw blood #tw horror #tw toxic relationship #tw violent imagery #Reading all of this back I'm realising some of it probably doesn't make any sense but I'm too tired to fix it #Do message me if there's any of it you wanna discuss or feel should be changed 😌

If you would’ve told my younger self there were more Jizzy non-shippers now she would’ve been ecstatic and then promptly disappointed as to the reasonings of why lol.

#‘bc they have a bro - sis relationship!’ ok cool! would love to see this dynamic between them more! post more hcs and fics about it #‘bc they’re kids!’ welcome to fandom ppl will ship two cartoon puppy’s together and have you stepped foot into any other kids fandom #or fandom in general ofc they are! this is nothing new #but sure ok. valid response #But never- #and not ‘ppl write them like shit and turn Izzy into the most basic bitch ever and Jake does all the cool shit while she’s just there’ #<- can tell you are not as mentally ill about Izzy as she is #like good god Wattpad is FULL of that shit😭 especially the damn hospital and nuclear family shit #also the ‘love’ portrayed between them was the cheesy shit oh my gooood and then the whole ff tag became full of it #painfully traditional and boring #or Jake was a shit husband and it was like Izzy girl if you don’t get out of this marriage 😕 #I think their funniest dynamic is when Izzy is secretly his biggest hater at times because she’s stuck in his shadow #now they’re both intelligent but Izzy is the brightest out of the three of them yet her contributions will always be overshadowed by Jake #he could never hate her BUT… sometimes he does think she’s planning on killing him #and he keeps his distance #ok rant over #pixie quips about jatnp #pixie yaps abt fics

oftentimes there will be a video or article or whatever that is giving advice about, essentially, how to show up more authentically in the world, and there will inevitably be a bit that is like "don't automatically walk into a space with the thought that you'll be rejected". which, on the surface, yeah -- makes total sense. rejection sensitivity does create a sub/conscious energy that either people pick up on and sub/consciously respond to, or just hamstrings your efforts and stifles your personality and makes you appear to not be interested at all (in which case the other party is the one feeling rejected first, so they're just responding in kind).

okay, great. but here's the thing. the idea is that you have this internal belief about yourself, that you're unloveable or undesireable or boring or whatever it is, and you're expecting that to be reinforced by other people. and what the advice is saying, is to not think that way. except... why do people tend to think that way in the first place? self-rejection is a learned behaviour.

I don't actually think I'm any of those things. I think I'm a fucking delight. but the problem is that my body -- the subconscious processes that really run the show here -- does not recognise that as a truth. my body has plenty of experiential data determining that no matter what I think about myself, other people will invariably be less charitable and far less enthusiastic about me, and will respond accordingly. it doesn't matter what I think. what matters is the evidence -- the "reality" as my body interprets it. frankly, sometimes it seems my body thinks I'm a bit of an idiot and is going "yeah, yeah, you're a delight, sure. anyway, back in the real world,"

I think people really put a lot of stock into "just change your mindset!" without incorporating the reality that there's no amount of affirmations or whatever that's going to override repeatedly being treated as if there's something wrong with you or that you're unfit for relationship. at this point, the best I can do is just be frank about this from the outset -- if you are like most people, you probably won't dig me very much. or at the very least, you'll dig me superficially, but the deep stuff will be off-putting to you. if you are not like most people, you will have to put in quite a bit of effort for me to really see and understand that. this is reality. and if that happens enough times -- more than once, that is -- then maybe my body's story will change. but there will never be a guarantee of that, and I can't expect one. beating my fists against brick walls going "but I am loveable! I do have interpersonal value!" isn't going to convince other people of that. they'll just have to come to that conclusion on their own (or not, as it were).

there's got to be a secret third thing -- not self-abandonment and self-rejection, not magically convincing my brain to somehow deny what it knows to be real, but maybe just accepting life as a complexly traumatised and very strange individual who will always be hard to know and hard to love, and that's not a flaw or a condemnation but it is a disability

#like. cptsd - developmental trauma - relational trauma - that's all disabling. i will never show up in relationships the way i ''should'' #because i can't. that ship has sailed. the more i try to deny that the worse i get #i think this is very easy to overbalance into ''so i'm never going to try ever'' which a lot of people with cptsd do (and that's valid) #but i think i'm at the ''i'm not gonna twist myself into unnatural shapes for it but i'll keep the light on for the possibility'' stage #and likewise it isn't all on me anyway. other people may also never show up in relationship the way i'd like them to #but that's got to be okay. can i live with it? if yes then live with it. is it untenable? then dissolution must occur #but it's not a blame game and there are no martyrs here. it just is what it is. #in the end... there will always be the Configuration. i DO already have the love i want. just not in *this* world. #but at least i have had the immense privilege and fortune to know and feel that deep and profound joy. #allworld's forgotten boy #singularity.txt

[starstuc]

a female character will go through the worst trauma even known to a man and everyone will downplay it and always say how a man character had it worse or just ignore everything a female character went through

#or they will have the same trauma and it’s always the male character that went through so much 😞 and the female character gets ignored #or how much of significant role a female character will play in a show but everyone hates on her without a valid reason and give all their #love to a male character that had screen time like 50 seconds #stop reducing female characters and making their only purpose to serve a role for a male character #also they need to start writing more female main character the way they write men #i want to see the mentor mentee relationship with female characters #instead of always the parental figure being a man make them a female like why have i not seen any female parental figures #also stop hating them because they get in the way of your ship like what girl if any of the ships that involve said hated character #and the two you ship aren’t canon then no one is getting in the way of your ship #bsd #bnha #jjk #seraph of the end

hi! person u rb'ed the fandom gatekeeping post from. it was very much written with a specific situation in mind: people who haven't engaged with the source material directly (meaning no lets plays, no proper excerpts, nothing) who act as if they have an understanding of said source material. often leading to shit just being completely made up and treated like canon. less "couldnt play the game themselves" and more "is claiming to know all about a book that they admit to never reading". i was venting about people claiming certain things about source material, who then got mad at me for correcting them while admitting they never read the thing in question. i should probably be more specific in how i present personal posts bc i always forget anyone can see them lol

Hey, I appreciate you taking the time to clarify the issue. I'm fortunate to have never come across anyone like that myself.

#asks #op #I find arguments over what is or isn't canon or did X Character really say ___ really unpleasant and try to avoid them all #analyzing the source material and sharing theories/interpretations *should* be fun but a lot of time it's not #IDK. I think it's from ppl imbuing it with more weight than it has? #like if their personal headcanons/wishes are canon it somehow validates than more. So they seek to argue their HCs are canon no matter what #I guess even when they haven't consumed the canon XD #IDK. I def can't explain that part bc I don't understand it at all. I don't have any desire for my ships to be canon and don't care if #the source material backs up my interpretation of characters. #what I want out of a discussion of the source material is like “here's this mini-series analyzed from a Marxist-Leninist perspective” or #“here's the Batfam with their interactions explained by Attachment Theory” whereas what i get instead is #“Canon PROVES Bruce Wayne is a Good Dad who would never hit his kids!” or alternately #“Canon PROVES Bruce Wayne is a horrible father who is incapable of love.” and I'm just like JFC can we lighten up a little people? #Oops.

the ddlc ship theory >:3 (read as: my personal opinion that i’m pretending is a universal thing cause i wanna pretend i’m better than everyone /j)

The fandom-favorite ones: Sayonika and Natsuri

There’s nothing wrong with them, in fact i like them a lot! it just feels like they became the game’s immediate OTPs because “natsuri is enemies to lovers and monika and satori are the ones left over”. yes i know that’s not why people ship them mostly but i can’t help but feel that

yes, i love natsuki and yuri’s arc so so much and i love monika and sayori’s dynamic it just baffles me that both ships are so popular. not complaining tho!

The “”Platonic””: Sayuri and Monisuki

the quotations is because there is no platonic ship in ddlc. they are all terribly gay for each other.

that said though, i personally cannot see these as anything other than platonic, and that’s completely a me problem lmao

i think they’re cute, but i don’t think there’s romantic chemistry in either natsuki and monika’s dynamic or sayori and yuri’s

still amazing ships alfksbdkebdkd dan salvato how did you make such a perfectly sapphic group of girls

Last but not least~

The severely underrated: Sayuki and Yurika

these. are single-handedly. my favs. and it baffles me so much that they’re not fan-favorites, not because i think everyone should follow my opinions, but genuinely because of dynamic

it’s very explicit that there’s the tiniest bit of segregation between natsuki with sayori and monika with yuri, with one pair being more “childish” while the other is more “mature”

and maybe that in itself is the reason why sayonika and natsuri are so popular, because it mixes it up! and i do love them for that! it makes for a great dynamic! but it feels so much more wholesome when the people match each other’s energies, which seems to be the case in yurika and sayuki!

anyways

thanks for listening to my ted talk™️

[windydrawallday]

One of my other favorite things about shipping fictional characters and making stories with them is telling experiences that go beyond the usual perfect "these two meet and become OTP in the instant" and/or are planned to be OTP at the end of the road. I mean, I'm the crazy shipper that can pair even a bunch of characters that barely mention each other meeting off-camera in canon x'D

But I find fascinating these types of scenarios that are "less perfect" and full of bumps on the road: those of beings that find themselves in need of rebuilding again a bridge of feelings that was severed by death (and even separation, a little "dead" still alive but not with you anymore in their lives).

In contrast to the usual "encounters destined to end together" here experiences are already tainted with grief and a sense of resignation… but at the same time, questioning if it will be possible for these experiences to serve any other purpose after these events. "The Love after the Love" (a spanish song I had on repeat all this week) it's what I like to call it.

And I think it can become one of the most hopeful scenarios to play around with because it is very real and something that could happen even to OTPs "Happy Ever After"'s…

[TW/CW for mentioning a real person's death and grieving]

I need to put in parallel a personal family experience about this same theme: I always remember dearly one of my uncles from my mother's side of the family who had a partner, and they looked SO PERFECT together. Good, sweet, hardworking people. Never saw sadness in their faces, always sharing trips and plans together… I almost fell envious of their sons and daughters for having such perfect parents haha

Until my aunt died during bad electricity management in her laundromat shop. I never saw a man as sad and emotionally destroyed as my uncle. It was plain painful to see him, like a ghost haunting his own home. We tried to support him during that first year of grieving until we saw he was ready to go on his own.

Then, after another year, he confessed to us (I was always happy he confided in my side of the family) that he was seeing a new partner but that he wasn't sure if keep doing it. We asked why to him, and the answer, to this day I think, is one of those that I have carved deeply on my memory: because he felt he was unrespecting his past partner.

This memory feels a bit fuzzy for me right now (this was… idk 12 years ago now?!) but I can remember clearly my mother telling him that he needed to stop feeling guilty for something that was out of his control (the death of his partner) and to think in his own happiness too. That for sure aunt would have approved of him living on because she knew he is a very lovely man full of love who deserves to not let that love die with her memory.

That it will be harder to start over, that's a given. But if he felt the need to build that bridge again but in a different direction, why hold it back?

And that experience became one more brick in my life that cemented for me that love doesn't die… once. Or it can't be killed on that first try. You will build many bridges, burn half of them, seeing part of them fall from catastrophes out of your control. But I can assure you you will always find a way to build a bridge again.

Not just because of a partner, or a new partner, or a partner after that one. Because we all hold a love so great it's unfair to let death be the end of it.

Before death definitely arrives to snatch your heart, keep loving. For the sake of love. Love is worth the effort, the pain, and the lessons.

Because loving is living. And living is a daring thing to do, to spit against death and say "My heart still beats, still exists, still feels".

That's the reason why I like putting these scenarios in fiction to. Again, I'm a sucker for angst too, and seeing a pairing endure death and separation but this? Letting my beloveds find a way out of the past, accepting that they are still living and worthy of finding someone that loves them even when carrying these broken parts, to share their most dear experiences with them? That's my jam, so much!

And if that's not the most hopeful message you can leave to this world, I will buy a hat and eat it.

PS One more additional note: with this, I want to validate too that a "Love after Love" never EVER loses its value after the first time: love just gets STRONGER!

#windy squeals #cw death mention #death mention cw #cw grief #grief cw #please dont let me buy a hat and less eat it #no but seriously: its a little funny so far this become the year of “grieving love” for me #i got a friend thats dealing with a heartbreak another thats dealing with cutting ties with old friends #and here i am playing that same theme of Love after the Love in fiction has a way to lowkey cope too with my own past loss #and is so VALIDATING #THERES MORE LOVE AFTER DEATH AFTER CUTTING TIES AFTER THE PAIN AND THE SEPARATION #im all sappy right now orz #ill make some tea and eat my chocolate cookies i saved for today #another addemdum to the last PS #and my reason to keep shipping characters after shipping other characters #i dont believe love dies with one OTP #my beloveds deserve to find love and be loved again #i think thats a more beautiful ending for them than just plain letting them grieve forever #and that it doesnt need to be a new pairing either to fill that ending #it can be a found family or a friendship/brotherhood of friends #love has no limits so imagination either!

just your friendly reminder that loki was actually an amazing disney + marvel show and the sylkie vs lokius ship war and ethical debate on the internet distracted from the gorgeous visuals + score + acting + actually engaging plotline 

#loki #marvel #still bitter that its literally the most hated #i dont care if you think the selfcest plotline was weird #it was really good #and all the hard work that got put into it was literally dismissed because a majority of the internet was only cared about whatever ship #*they liked more #so yeah its been a year and im still bitter people hate it #also the sophia di martino death threats and shit was not needed #i loved sylvie and just because she got in the way of lokius does not mean you get to treat her actor like that #you can ship both and still be a normal human being who doesnt harass actors #lokius and sylkie can and will coexist as great ships #sylkius superiority actually #all three of them are in love #anyway rant in the tags over #loki's still my favorite marvel disney+ show #ms marvel is pretty close though but i havent finished it #like i religiously listen to the loki score in my free time because nathalie holt did not hold back #were there issues with the show OF COURSE THERE WERE #there was a lot of valid criticism on the internet too but i still liked it #anyway rant over

If you ship edissy but then go and hate on steddie and come up with the dumbest reasons as to why the ship "isn't canon" or "valid" then you're a hypocrite and most likely homophobic, bc if you really wanna use any of the tiny meaningless interactions between Eddie and chrissy and milk the shit out of it and create ideas that have no logic just to feed your ship, then you can't just go and act like Steve and Eddie didn't have some ACTUAL scenes (more than two which is already something Eddie and chrissy don't have) that could be taken as something else, and those are scenes that unlike edissy don't need any milking or reaching to make it something more bc they already did that themselves, with the way it was portrayed, does that make steddie canon?? No, but edissy is also VERYYYY far from being canon either, so if you wanna be left alone to ship edissy then stop judging and making fun of steddie bc they have more reasons to ship them than y'all do.

Stop acting like edissy is superior or some shit like that bc it's not its far from it bc it's not a canon ship so it's just like any other and the bullying all bc someone praises steddie is disturbing to watch

#I'm so tired of them acting like ed*ssy is more valid than steddie not only does it feel extremely homophobic #Bc them claiming it's not a valid ship almost feels like saying that those relationships aren't valid which if you look at it it's actually #Exactly what they are saying and it's sooo harmful and gross #And on top of that they are far from having the proof of ed*ssy that they think they have #Bc like I said if they wanna go by all the logic that they love than steddie is very much real too #If anyone attacks me for this post you're homophobic bc I said nothing but the truth here and I wrote everything #That I as someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community feels when seeing what is said about a gay ship #It's all valid criticism and if you can't take that then maybe leave the internet and grow up and also while you're at it #Learn how to have some respect #Stranger things #eddie munson #steve harrington #Steddie #Ed*ssy #Chrissy
