#why can't my ships be happy?

[infinityinakiss]

every single one of you fuckers that predicted that the season finale of loki was going to be as devastating as the good omens finale, go stand in the corner, because you somehow manifested this shit and now i'm crying.

#the guttural scream i let out when i realized he was going to sacrifice himself #god why can't i get a break #why can't my ships be happy? #loki #loki series #loki series finale #loki spoilers #lokius #loki laufeyson #mobius m mobius #good omens #ineffable husbands #ineffable spouses #ineffable divorce #ineffable idiots

Hey, Star Trek Writers... -taps the glass-

#star trek #the only people from Voyager's main cast I could see wanting to be a captain are Chakotay ??? maybe? and DEFINITELY Harry Kim #Harry Kim is the only guy on that ship who I'd actually cheer and scream and cry and click my heels if he became captain #bc it's actually something I think he'd be suited for AND it fits with his personality/goals...<3 #like I saw a clip from Picard and like...Seven of NINE??? Why would she want to be a captain?? I think in that case 'making captain' is jus #shorthand for 'we finally accept you into structured society and you're no longer an outcast' which I do NOT like #also Tuvok's a captain???? Why???? Nothing about Tuvok screams captain material or that he'd even WANT to be a captain #I imagine him being chief of security or a professor (or both) until retiring - MAYBE a first officer #OH same with Janeway only she would HATE being an admiral and loves being captain #like next they're gonna tell me that B'Elanna Torres is a starfleet captain* - NO ! she is an ENGINEER! #Sorry I can't get over how bad Tuvok would be as a captain - he's not suited for it and does NOT seem interested #*so that we can all go 'oh yay I accept this as shorthand for the federation accepts her' - HEY #if the only thing you can think of to show that a character has achieved true happiness & respect & peace is becoming a 'respectable' rank #in the future pseudo not-military: maybe think about that more deeply

I can't find art of my ship anywhere so I GUESS that means I have to make it myself, here are some doodles.

#ugh i can't believe i have to make my own shipping fanart #tfw you're complaining to your sister that you can't find any content of them but then you remember you have the power #man i do not know how to draw kissing or hugging or any of that romantic stuff #mostly i just know how to put paragraphs of dialogue in between two talking heads #but this seems to be something of a rarepair even though they are obsessed with each other so i suppose i gotta try #karlach #lae'zel #shipping #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #karlzel #i think that's the ship name but i have found so little of them that i'm genuinely not sure #laelach #(just in case) #but come on they're perfect! they're sunshine/raincloud! dog energy/cat energy! tall/small! hot and cold! canonically into each other! #character who represses sadness and character who doesn't understand happiness! pretty girls who can both bench press each other! #considering what their banter looks like i don't get how this isn't a more popular pairing. who else does karlach wistfully sigh over? #my sister tells me that lae'zel is not well-liked by the wider fandom and that that may be why (so sorry if other people have bad taste) #or maybe people don't often put the barbarian and the fighter together in the same party at the same time #anyway now that you're 100% convinced feel free to draw them making out so that i don't have to k thx <3

why is there such a notable amount of toxicity toward sunstone on my dashboard so frequently? isn't shipping supposed to be about having fun? :(

i see people generalizing the entire sunstone community as this one person they saw mischaracterizing the characters a few times as if other ships don't do the same thing? it's not common but not abnormal to see. shipping requires whatever imagination the artist desires!!

where's your joy? where's your whimsy? clank clank as i make the fictional robots kiss like barbie dolls

this fandom needs more positivity!!!

#sorry for the rant it's just actually starting to upset me at this point #will probably delete later #but like why can't we just let people be happy? and have fun? #i used to think this was the least toxic shipping fandom I've been in #i just wish we could all have a good time without throwing shade at things other people enjoy #I'm going to keep doing my best to spread nothing but positivity in this shipping fandom #even if I'm not met with that same kindness in return

Watching Bad's vod where q!Foolish, q!Cellbit and q!Baghera are trying to set up q!Bad with q!Forever, now with CC!Bad's comment about his character being oblivious in an aromatic way is great

The others talking about who to ship q!Bad with while he sits in his chair, the aromantic and skephalo flag slowly fading into the background because this man will not be with ANYONE unless it's Skeppy

And I love that about him. They're currently talking in metaphors and q!Bad is just "????? I don't understand" and I love him for it.

Foolish: we're talking about the emotions in your heart right now!

Bad: Diamonds are forever!

Either he did that on purpose or that's the best coincidence to ever happen

#I heard the word aromantic and ran with it #Q!Bad is Aromantic now sorry I don't make the rules <3 #Love him for this #Honestly I'm asexual and shipping makes me uncomfortable a lot of the time it's hard to watch some of the streams sometimes #I don't mean like Foolish and Vegetta or platonic Philza and Missa #I mean more like Bad with Forever and Fit and Foolish and Roier #So... non-canon I guess? it makes sense in my head I just can't put it into words #But anyway seeing q!Bad shipped with practically everyone in existence gets really uncomfortable for me #so CC!Bad making his character oblivious in an aromantic way makes me very happy #because it feels like a “he doesn't feel that way at all + doesn't realise others can so he doesn't think of it as even a possibility” thing #I would watch Jaiden but I struggle to watch other's streams anyway as the eggs are currently my main hook #+ my fixation is Dapper mainly #qsmp #qsmp badboyhalo #just to clarify I do ship Skephalo (I might not like shipping much but I'm not blind!! /lh) #but in a platonic/queerplatonic way #can't describe why though other than it feels more like what me and my queerplatonic partner have than romantic to me

i would love to hear about the ollie and handler crack ship here’s a silly doodle as well

LOVE THE DOODLE YOU SEE THE VISION!!!

Also this got my ass to design Ollie so:

(Love him - Also redesigned Reggie for this too so thanks!!)

And idk if it's moreso a crackship or a rarepair that only works in an AU (HACKS up Starstruck), but Reggie's line of "...and I hope Ollie made it out too. I hope a lot of things." It's totally me reading into it but like,,,,I want them to talk because Ollie is not dead to me in my heart of hearts.

Maybe the only change is like Reggie taps into the communication on the radio in Hot Water instead of using the earpiece, so Ollie ends up hearing him also? And they end up getting along really well (with Reggie having to jump through a couple hoops to be like "haha what agency..."). There's an Agency base in the South-East coast of Australia and maybe the Agency ends up adopting him after he washes up on the shore with the escape pod (after HEAVY questioning).

Alas take a doodle of my own:

Transcript (it's just canon lines):

Ollie: "She's being controlled, it's not her fault."

Reggie: "Agent, I have 0 experience dealing with giant security squids."

#idk i know realistically JJ and Reggie will probably never interact so like this is the one I can root for right? #<- ollie is probably still at the bottom of the ocean #alas. i think they could be silly together. because like. idk. they have the same vibe to me #i feel like they would have a GREAT TIME at a barbeque actually #i digress #in terms of the art though!!! Ollie!!!!!!!!n #I've never drawn dreads before shdjdkf i had to redraw the hair on that first one genuinely about 6 times #idk it came from like. if he's been underwater for a long time dread would prolly be somewhat convinent in terms of hairstyles #also we don't talk abt how ollie probably knew fabby because it's implied she was working down there???? #tbh she probably hated himshsjekdld he would be clueless #and uhhhh back on my I can't draw reginald crane in a way im happy with ever. an example ahdkdlf #I've liked exactly 1 drawing of him I've ever done i think i need to do a completely different design over just the little tweaks here idk #anyways ty for the ask sorry it took so long to answer you can see why lmao #it was fun though!!! like i say it got my ass to draw ollie finally and i do like his design #ieytd #i expect you to die #[agent moose's art] #reginald crane #ollie ieytd #oh ship name ummmm #hm #earpiece??? uhhhhhhh radio signal???? idk #leavung it for now im so bad at naming things

Warning: *depression* *not a happy post*

Your heart is hurting in a million different ways, and you can't tell anyone about it. So many depressing feelings and thoughts run through your heart and mind. You feel lost, confused, and maybe even scared. You resort to a not-so-healthy coping mechanism.

But then afterward, your f/o comes into your room and embraces you tightly. You dig your face into their neck and they do the same. They did their best to comfort you through these difficult emotions.

F/o: It's gonna be okay, no matter what happens, it'll all be okay someday. You'll see. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. I'll be here for you through everything and I'll never leave. I know happiness seems far away but you'll get there. Eventually. You're gonna be alright, I'll make sure of it.

And you go to sleep together, crying and being consoled by them. Not knowing if things will be better. But at least you have your Love to comfort you.

Going through a lot of shit right now, this might be a bit self-indulgent, I'm sorry.

#self shipping #fictional other #self ship #f/o community #self-shipping #f/o #f/o imagines #sad #whys the world have to be so messed up? #why can't people just be happy and live their lives #I just want everything and everyone to be happy and okay. #I hate this world sometimes #😈my comfort demon💚

i don't make resolutions, but if i did

it would be to finish this fic

(and to be kind to myself for however long it takes to actually do so)

#i'm finishing it if it kills me #i know i've been writing this makeout scene for 3 weeks but baby that can't last forever #if we want to get deep and dark and serious for a second i do think a lot of my struggles to write lately have to do with engagement #and how incredibly low engagement has been on the last few things i've written #which like. is what it is. i'm not entitled to anybody's time or comments or kudos. #but when you write stuff you're proud of and it feels like it's barely getting read it's hard to keep momentum. #this isn't intended as a woe is me or whatever it's just kind of like. there. hovering. #happens enough times you start to wonder if it's you. am i just writing for the wrong fandom/ship? #(too bad if so. they're in my bones i'm writing for them and no one can stop me.) #but yeah. if you ever wonder if authors do care or notice about hits. comments. kudos. buddy i am here to tell you #not only do we care and FLOURISH we also notice when those things drop off and readers vanish #and it is a giant bummer. and sometimes makes us wildly paranoid about why that might have happened. #so if you liked a fic today--not even one of mine. just. anybody's. share it. comment on it. #kudos at the VERY least (cuz frankly kudos is there to be an 'i got to the end and this was nice' feature. #so when you get 500 hits and only like 30 kudos? it feels like 470 of those people hated your work) #anyway. that got out of hand. lil' too raw lil' too honest. happens when you let yourself ramble at 11:30 instead of sleeping #to sum: let your local fic writer know if they've made you happy #and as we go into 2024 i am swearing to myself that this fic (and probably several others) are getting finished #come hell. high water. or dishearteningly low engagement numbers. #(and then maybe we...actually work on something original. cuz why not. new year same old me but i'll do my best.)

[archduke-enver-gortash]

posting on here is like my sisyphean boulder i'm constantly rolling tbh

#god i am trying so hard to just have fun and be myself #but when i do that i'm immediately a strange outsider creep #and since i can't really mask my version of masking is just not talking and then obviously you don’t find any joy in fandom spaces either #i will always be a shitty unlikable freak no matter how much i pretend otherwise. it was obvious from the start that getting involved in #fandom spaces was a fucking mistake. it's always a mistake because you're some laughing stock at best and a horrifying freak at worst #i don't blame people for not liking me i've realised what an awful person i am long ago #but it's always so hard witnessing something like fun social groups from the sidelines knowing you'll never be a part of it #this is why my mental state has been deteriorating so severely in the last few months. that Realisation once again nothing fucking changed #i know it's stupid to get so upset over fandom but it's only a pattern for me #i stopped trying to be friends with people when i was a teenager because it hasn't worked a single time #this attempt at integrating myself into the wotr and bg3 fandom by sharing my shit was just one mistake #gortash/zeke is so different from anybody else’s work and i wish i could find joy in something that it isn’t fucking deranged but i can’t #like yes it’s just fandom bullshit! gortash/zeke is a fucking oc x canon ship! why am i getting so upset over it! #i love writing them. i’ve never been this happy writing anything. and it’s entirely indicative of a common pattern in my life #when i earnestly share parts of myself/things i’m passionate about people get creeped out. and honestly? rightfully so #i would leave the discord servers i’m in because it’s fucking crushing me dude. this is so petty but i’m so jealous of what you people have #but in one i am server owner and i don’t want to just dump that responsibility onto someone else and then dip #and in the other two i’m not sure anyone would even notice that i’m gone but i still worry about being rude #though i’m not entirely sure i didn’t get invited to one of those just so people could laugh at me. idk probably just being paranoid but i #it’s been gnawing at me #ok no if i’m being this vulnerable on tunglr.com i can also say that part of me staying is also still having the hope that i could fit in #one day. logically i know it won’t happen but it’s nice to have hope sometimes #watching you all from through the window having fun like a creep #so yeah. i’ve always felt like this but it’s been rapidly getting worse with my failed attempt at the bg3 fandom #idk just been crying non-stop for the last few hours. went through an entire pack of tissues in an hour it’s very disgusting #they’re all lying around me as i’m typing this like a pillowfort of snot lmao #so yeah. idk. if someone could come over and lobotomise me that’d be nice. orin where are you when we need you most #i never had any friends irl so i foolishly gave this a shot. i’m sorry #also doesn’t help that i can see someone dropping me for people that are easier to be around in irl rn #it just hurts because it’s always like that. someone you are around when you have no other option at best. not even that sometimes

Pink and White girl with very feminine design, with very long pink hair, who wears an outfit that is similar to a wedding dress, uses a bow, and sacrificed herself to save the universe/world

and

her girlfriend with a darker color palette who would die for her, who uses a gun and who is depressed after losing her, and who is the last person to remember and able to bring her back to life

(wow I just badly resumed both Rebellion and Elysian Realm finale)

I am sorry but Elyden is just MadoMura wearing a cosplay, hell both ships are super depressing

#i love my depressing lesbian ships #lesbians can't be happy it's only self sacrifice to save the world #lesbians just don't know how to say i love you like a normal person #always have to make it complicated #but that's why we love them #madoka magica #homura akemi #honkai impact #honkaiposting #honkaimpact3rd #honkai elysia #honkai eden #pmmm

[dazais-guardian-angel]

delighted that i'm so much more fond of chuuya at this point than i was just a couple years ago. it took the stormbringer play, the cannibalism play, and the fifteen manga (still haven't gotten to those two novels in their entirety, I Will Soon I Promise), it took 6ish+ years, but i can confidently say I Get It Now. Now i just need asagiri to break him (affectionate) in the manga and actually give him a character arc already <333

#i went through my own character arc okay i have Learned #still don't really get it from the pre-light novels era but i definitely get it now #he's actually written so well in those lns it's astounding. now fr if only that could be transferred to the actual manga *sigh* #if you can't tell i'm still so pissed and betrayed by the meursault arc. on all fronts lol but chuuya was one of the worst victims ughhhh #i may be hyped about this fyodor shit rn but do not mistake that as me forgetting how angry i still am over all that anticlimactic bullshit #happy birthday chuuya you really deserve so much better </3 #been thinking so much lately about what asagiri is planning for him. or if he's planning anything at all. the signs are so contradictory!!! #i know the fandom made him a huge thing from the early anime days when he probably wasn't meant to be more than an extreme side character #why? again i still don't understand (shipping. it's shipping okay; that's why i was always unfairly biased against him lmao) #but even if that's the case then he wrote the light novels that are SO GOOD so like!!!! #now there's buildup!!!! now there's expectations for him!!!!!! #you can't just never have verlaine and adam not come back in the story again at some point #in the same way that ango did from a light novel #and how oda HAS to be addressed by the end of the story #and all the lore bs in 55 minutes #just WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING WITH CHUUYA ASAGIRI. I NEED TO KNOWWWWWW #THE SIGNS ARE VERY WORRYING BUT IN A COMPELLING WAY AND I NEED THEM TO PAY OFF SO BADLY #me going literally insane lately over a character i still claim to not be one of my favorites. lmao

#i don't know what's it with tiktok but i either cry or become really sad/disappointed when i watch some videos #now there was one about driver pairings people think are close not actually being close (especially charlos) and while i know that's almost #everything between teammates is for pr but... it just can't understand why they have to pretend this much if they really are not close or #not friends or anything like that. like... they could act normal. #and when i think about this pr shit/them acting like they're close i feel bad for liking them together and believing that their #relationship really is how it looks like it is #i feel so naive and it feels so childish to find happiness in a relationship where almost everything is for pr #like... i can feel people laughing at me for liking this or that pairing and calling me blind and things like that #i've seen so many toxic things in this fandom it's hard not to remember them. and sometimes i just don't know how to ignore what other #people say/think #like... this is a fictional world here. especially when it comes to shipping/enjoying pairings #and i should be able to ingore some things and focus on the things that make me happy but sometimes i just can't #and in times like this i just want to stop writing about them so people wouldn't think what my brain tells me they think when they see it #my useless posts

[ikkaku-of-heart]

@kaizokugaris asked: 🕯️/ coughs as push my zoro <3 send me🕯️to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character.

"Zoro...it feels so weird, but also so right, to say we're actually in a relationship. I think I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that he might even stick around long enough to get married or something. We're aligned on a lot of things. We both don't mind some distance. We both put our captains above just about everything else. We both wouldn't mind taking in a few kids someday. And we're both absolutely willing to shank anyone who fucks with our lover." Well, Ikkaku might not immediately go to stabbing as a reaction. She might electrocute them instead. Or some other creative way to fuck them up. She was pretty inventive when it came to weapons.

"I guess my main worry, apart from those insecurities that still eat at me some nights, is his dream. I mean, of course I support it! He absolutely could become the World's Greatest Swordsman and he should work hard to achieve it! But...ok, maybe I'm projecting a bit of Law onto him, but I'm worried about his dream consuming him. He already pushes his body past its limits training. I'm worried he'll push away me and his crew and other people who care about him, too. I'm worried he'll lose himself in the pursuit. Hell, I'm especially worried about what comes after he does get the title. Will it be enough? Will he find a new goal to pursue? Or will he grow lackadaisical and isolated like Mihawk? Or bored and destructive like Kaido? I want him to be happy, both when he achieves his dream, and long after. I just hope I can be part of what makes him happy, even after he's become the World's Greatest Swordsman."
