#'if they're gonna be THAT deranged then maybe i do in fact need to ship them'

[vitasexualiiis]

he's such a BITCH and i LIKE HIM SO MUCH 😭😭😭

[changlixx]

well for instance, chanlix and vmin are both considered the “soulmates” pairing, while there are a few who ship them romantically, the vast majority of the fandom sees them strictly as the platonic duo, the besties of the group, even those who are open to shipping. its like they’re both incredibly popular ships but not romantically? at least its one of the least problematic communities…whereas, and this brings me to the last comparison, jikook and taekook have somewhat antithetic fandoms (or so they wish to say), but it’s as if they merge into one when it comes to hyunlix? that’s why I couldn’t pick one in particular, it has traits of both sides; the fact that it wasn’t a thing prior to God’s menu era, and then their popularity skyrocketed all of a sudden thanks to some analysis and theories on YouTube, their visuals together (like the arena photoshoot), some viral TikToks, o8mori fanarts…and boom, they got the attention of so many locals which then became stays and hyunlix shippers. Like, the last live they had together got 1M likes on several tiktok clips, and the comments were so deranged, with how fast this ship is growing it reminds me a lot of TK. but considering the similarities between felix and jimin, a lot of jikookers also became hyunlixers, and they also brought w them the same kind of behavior, it’s kinda funny how as ARMYs they were at war, but as STAYs they agree on something. The real enemies to lovers;) I wish I could go on more because honestly, there’s so much more to call out, but I hope I got my point across. 😂

Anyways, all hail changlix

girl you're gonna get me in trouble.

but i agree. vmin and chanlix checks out. the part about the shippers being mostly chill too, although i've seen some deranged ass chanlixer behavior. my friend sometimes sends me posts from this chanlix blog that's just... well let's just say it's wild what the human mind can do. i read that blog and i'm like oh god, is that what i sound like when i talk about changlix? anyway, there's some crazy stuff but for the most part chanlixers are okay, just like vminers.

and as for jikookers and taekookers... yeah, i also think they're not as different as they like to think. one of the main aspects of the two groups being an intense need to prove that their ship is real, it's pretty strange. and maybe that's becoming a thing with hyunlixers too, i'm not too familiar with what goes on in that corner of the fandom tbh.

one commonality i see for sure is that when i was a yoonminer we were constantly attacked by jikookers, and now as a changlixer i'm regularly getting sour asks from hyunlixers. you don't see most of them bc i just delete them but hyunlixers are very mad about this blog existing lmao.

and no offense to any whole groups of shippers, i'm just talking about broad trends. i for sure have had plenty of bad experiences with jikookers but i'm sure most of them are perfectly nice people that are just doing their thing, just like hyunlixers. so if you feel offended by me saying that there's some alarming stuff going on in those shipping circles idk what to tell you. examine your shit.

Omg wait if I ask for a potc matchup FOR CON!?!??? WOULD YOU DO IT!???

Bet ima send it in anyways bc I think you'll enjoy this actually heehe

Please match up the addict rat man with questionable morals. Con may have issues with making "good" choices, they usually are really just trying to survive a cut-throat world. Seems selfish but will die for u especially when they're in love. Almost obsessive in their love, but they truly do mean well.

Seems like a subby mat that gets walked all over but you know Con can hold their own. Is far smarter than anyone could know, and reads u like a book.

Also the "failed biologist dropout" thing, like the sheer amount of random knowledge of sciences? In the 1700s? Chaos.

Con doesn't care what their partner is packing in their pants. Gender is both true and false, and Con gives no fucks

If u do this I'll laugh my ass off. If u don't well maybe we can discuss it in the server hehhhhee

omg hello con! (i'm gonna address this matchup as if im talking to them ahaha. and OFC I WILL POST IT HEHE!)

i ship you with barbossa!

hear me out... i feel like the two of you would make such a killer (literally probs lol) team! barbossa is very much Thee quintessential pirate: he knows the rules of the game and how to bend them to his will, and despite at times seeming almost deranged in his logic, he knows exactly what he's doing and sees the bigger picture clearer than almost anybody. he's very outwardly... dominant, so the two of you together might seem like an odd pairing at first; you tend to present as a follower who just goes along with the flow, but that's the whole thing-- you are actually VERY capable, and barbossa is just weirdly perceptive enough that i think he might pick up on this before anyone else. out of everyone in potc, barbossa is one of the most aware of the fact that he's 'inside a narrative,' so to speak: who could forget that iconic "you best start believing in ghost stories, miss turner, you're in one" line?? he SEES the world around him, and the people in it, for more than just what they appear to be: and i think he'd see you first as someone who could be very useful to him (random science knowledge? yes pls!), and then gradually as someone who deeply fascinates him. you have some 'pirate' traits for sure: you're reckless and self-serving and can roll with the punches. but you're also a fanatic defender of the people you love-- something that barbossa wishes he was, yet doesn't allow himself to do because it would come at the expense of his reputation. you both have a lot you could learn from each other-- a rarity for barbossa, who before you considered himself an expert at what he does, and a necessity for you, who needs a push to tap into your potential.
