#I'd ship them tbh...

[sharkbaitblr]

Kit and Elora are literally my favorite 'not' friendship ever. Their dynamic is chef's kiss, I just love them.

They're giving enemies to lovers slow burn and I'm living for it.

i’m never ever going to make a post like this again, but if i see ONE MORE POST about this im going to actually break down sobbing so.

Sun Wukong and the Six Eared Macaque are NEVER canonly stated to be brothers.

Yes, they are the origin of the “evil twin” plot point. Yes, the may be inspired by an older legend of “two monkey god brothers”.

But not once, does the text of Journey to the West say they are canonically brothers.

I did not spend an entire week researching these two (and done it multiple more times whenever it was brought into question), just for people to go around saying “They were canonically blood brothers in Journey to the West, and Lego Monkie Kid will make them brothers later on :)”.

(Of course, if you headcanon them as being brothers, or prefer to see them that way, that’s fine. I have no problems with that. It’s your interpretation after all. It’s people saying it’s definitely canon that I take issue with.)

First and fore most, Wukong literally can’t have siblings. Sure, he can have siblings by choice, like the other pilgrims, but he was born from a rock, y’all. I think we would’ve heard if the rock had done anything else.

Secondly: The text of Journey to the West does NOT say they are brothers. I don’t know why we have to go through this so many times. In fact; in Journey to the West, it says they didn’t even know each other. The Six Eared Macaque, as well as Sun Wukong, are declared as the same species (a mystic monkey, that doesn’t match up with any other kind of being, of which there are only four in this world), not as family. Six Eared Macaque was only able to disguise himself as Sun Wukong, and copy his abilities, because of his ability to hear the past present and future- he listened to all the training Wukong did, and thus replicated it. And even with the ability to hear so much, outside of no-one being able to tell the two monkeys apart, he doesn’t actually do that good of a job at pretending to be Wukong (hitting Tripitaka on the head for example). The two of them had never met before this in Journey to the West canon.

(I’m mainly keeping this post about Journey to the West, but it’s obvious Lego Monkie Kid has changed many backstories. However; if the show was going to go with the route of them being brothers, I’m extremely certain it would’ve been stated by now. For one, the creators do interact with the fans, and have encouraged Macaque/Wukong content. Secondly, “beloved friend” would most certainly have been changed to “dear brother”. He would’ve described the hero and the warrior as brothers in that story, because there literally would not have been a better time to drop that information story wise. If they were going to be confirmed as siblings, it would’ve been done by now, I assure you. Of course, this doesn’t mean I think Macaque/Wukong will be canon either. If anything, it’ll just stick to them being friends, which makes perfect sense in a story that focuses on friends and found family like this. You can headcanon them as brothers if you want, but do not go running around claiming it as canon- and telling newcomers who are questioning and genuinely don’t know that it’s canon.)

Thirdly: “but what about the movies where they’re brothers” you say. “but what about Dislyte, where they’re brothers” you say. Now look at me. If you were heterosexual, and you saw a story like the Six Eared Macaque being obsessed with Sun Wukong’s life, what would you take away from that??? Almost definitely, the first answer in your mind would be siblings. Not to mention the other popular idea of him literally being part of Sun Wukong (this is also not canon. Sure, allegorically he might represent Wukong’s internal battle with his violent tendencies, but literally almost every character in Journey to the West is an allegory. The whole damn book is an allegory. But we’re not looking at the allegory here, we’re looking at the story), these are both common directions that would be taken. But just because it makes for good story potential, to give a deeper meaning behind these two characters by making them siblings or part of one whole, does not make it canon. You can’t look at one interpretation of a story and say it was canon to another. Would you take Gnomeo and Juliet and say “well since they survived at the end, it must be canon they survived in the original play, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong”? No. No you wouldn’t. Because that’s an assumption, that’s a twist on a story to give a new meaning to it. But even if it’s fun, it’s not part of the original.

So, to put a cap on this post, sure, go ahead, think of the Six Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong as brothers if you want. I literally couldn’t care less. That’s your own interpretation of it. Block the shadowpeach tag if it makes you uncomfortable, that’s what tag blocking is for.

But do not. Do Not go into people’s askboxes and tell them the Six Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong are canonically related. Do not go into the askboxes of people who ship shadowpeach and send them death threats for their own interpretation of a shows interpretation of two guys who didn’t even know each other in the original text. Do Not tell people who ask that the two of them are canonically related, because then you’re just spreading misinformation.

Once again, if you view them as family, and don’t do any of the above, you’re fine, this post is not about you. Have fun with your ideas and stories /gen

This is the only post I’m ever going to make on this subject. If you try to argue with me you will be blocked. You can reblog, but for the sake of my anxiety I’d rather not have any replies or comments on this.

Please, y’all. If I can have enough respect to stay in my own bubble, and not force shadowpeach on people who don’t want it, and can keep myself from claiming that it’s going to be canon, then why can’t the people who have decided to interpret them as brothers do the same?

It is wild to me how many people are like, "hahaha op's speech did nothing," as if I am running and participating in these polls to get validation for my blorbo. If I just wanted to be content with my blorbo, I would absolutely not be tossing him up on a platform to be heckled for a week straight. I would be retreating to some echo chamber Discord server to experience the emotional equivalent of everyone gathering around and petting a puppy.

I literally do not think Essek is going to win this poll! I do not think he is going to win the tournament! I seeded Laerryn number one for a reason! For a number of factors I think it would be very difficult for anyone to beat her! I literally put him and Laerryn on the same side of the bracket so that they would not end up in the final, because I did not think it was going to be an interesting fight! We as a fandom beat "Laerryn could smash any wizard in Exandria without contest" into the ground weeks ago! I considered writing a stump speech just for kicks for every semifinalist, because I like to argue things and I love playing up a ridiculous and meaningless kayfabe!

But like, Laerryn has swept many polls, and it's deeply boring to me if she wins in a landslide. I am a polling nerd, and I can confirm that no one watches landslide races. They are not interesting. And this is fully just for the fun of it, so I am gonna make it interesting.

If there's no challenge, no consideration of how the other side might win, then what the fuck is the point of running a tournament?

In conclusion:

Hmm for the ship thing, how about the Vee's as a whole? Obviously ik you love staticmoth but I'm curious of your opinions on all 3 of em in a relationship

oouhg hmm like radioapple i really do not think about this one a whole lot but unlike radioapple i might? have to say no?

1. why don't you ship it?

tbh ?? my brain tells me velvette is a lesbian and i Roll With It . also because i love the idea of velvette being so sick and tired of the two stupid horny demons making out right next to her every time they go out anywhere because they dont have nearly as much self control as she does

2. what would have made you like it?

if we get a vees song . my brain will go OOH I LOVE THEM . im so 100% positive AHJASFJG . also maybe if i saw more fanart of all three of them? like all three of them being in a relationship i mean, i see vees fanart all the time but i dont see a lot of vel being included in the StaticMoth Ship, so i bet if i saw that more i'd be like oh my god them !!! and they'd start to explode my brain /pos

3. despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

its super cute !! and honestly i love the idea of them being just absolute menaces in public together, knowing damn well theyre un-fucking-touchable because if anyone dares mess with one of them they mess with All Of Them . also the idea of vel being fucking done with them making out constantly while she does it in spite of others when they flirt with val or vox also makes me laugh

How do you feel about Nejihina? I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but they always made so much sense to me... Neji had a crush on her when they were kids, and after everything happened, she seemed to be the only person he really cared about. I always felt like Naruto wasn't really interested in her, but Neji was. Also, a marriage between them two could have united the branches and solved so many problems! what are your thoughts on them? I'd love to read a nejihina fic from you :)

I love NejiHina and I ship it for the same reasons you already mentioned! Their fight in part 1 was one of the standout moments of the manga for me, and I thought they had some great development. Would have loved to see some arranged marriage for them in canon, alas.

I have this yearning to drag the characters and ships I hate through the dirt on my blog, but I just... I have no energy to waste on drama. And, I know it feels vile, I'm not really on a crusade to hurt others.

Hi, Micah, my favourite constellation. 👋🥰💕💞 I was wondering 🥺👉👈 if you'd like to be my Valentine's? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I know that, uh, you broke up with your boyfriend few weeks ago 😥 and, um, you 😬 just, uh, recently... DIED, 😰 so, I can understand if this month of 💝 love 💝 is rough for you and you need that space from... Love™️, but, I just want you to know that 👉👈👉👈👉👈 I care and appreciate about you a lot. 💗 I, urm, L-word you, too, I guess. 💘 If you ever wanna, I'd really like to spend a nice day with you on this month of love. 👉👈👉👈👉👈👉👈👉👈👉👈 AGAIN, only if you want to... Love is strange and complicated, like me 😞, so, I get it! 😣 But, I promise, 👆 our day won't have any blood and murders involved, but I can't promise it'll be... explosive!!! 😎💥... 😏💦... :)

 Micah stares at Strange who was on a rant at xyr guest room . Certainly , is it a pleasant surprise to see the Antigod at the doorway , gifting xem a heart shaped box of chocolate ( that Strange happened to . . . eat some pieces ) ⅋ bouquet ( Micah wonders why the flowers are quivering , like it's afraid of Strange ) . Micah can't remember the last time xe would be asked to be someone's Valentine's . Across xyr life , as a hopeless romantic with a grand heart of stars , xe would always be the one to ask someone out . With Adoniram , Micah was the one to seek a romantic relationship with him after their high school graduation . Xyr gaze flickers from the gifts over to Strange who seems to be trying its best to hold confidence . Micah's lips twitch into a bashful smile , giggling at its . . . highly expressive effort .

〚 How the fuck can xe say all of that ? 〛Philos questions Strange's ability to speak with the emojis ⅋ all . Strange things . Micah chuckles at her bewildered bluntness , rubbing xyr neck before xe gives xyr complete attention to Strange again . ❝ Strange , ❞ xe softly starts , holding its hand after xe placed the gifts on the table , ❝ I extremely appreciate this , truly , you're so lovely , ❞ Micah squeezes its hands . ❝ But , ah , I'm actually planning to ask Warlock if it's interested to spend the Valentine's Day with me . ❞ Strange should be aware of xyr status with Warlock , but maybe xe doesn't want to point out the most obvious fact . ❝ I mean , February is the month of love , so I would really love to spend any other days with you , at least . ❞

 Micah is endeared by all of this from xem . Xe's fun , considerate when xe can be , ⅋ the strangest . It'd be an honor to get to spend a February day with the first Antigod , one of xyr closest friends . ❝ Love ya too , Strange . ❞

For the ship ask— I’m becoming a big fan of liechtenstein x seychelles recently, so how would you rate them?

I've never really thought about these two together, but I think it could be cute.

I do not think they have interacted in canon. I tried to look up the relations between the two nations, but I didn't find much. Sey is a popular Swiss vacation spot - so maybe it's popularity is high for Liechtensteiners too.

Unfortunately, I do not know much about Sey nor Liech to really say how I'd fit them together or what their relationship dynamics would be like.

I just saw fanart of a ship i don't like and would probably get hatemail over but the joke on the caption was so fucking clever i almost felt compelled to reblog it

[ssaalexblake]

It is, objectively, super funny that the Trek fandom in general is sitting around hoping that STP ignores their faves and doesn’t try and involve them. I mean, it’s many other things as well, but it’s funny that I keep being recommended random posts of random people crossing their fingers hoping that their blorbos will be ignored, never be seen on screen, and therefore saved from anything from bad characterisation to death via stupid contrived avoidable circumstance. 

[highlifeboat]

Damn, Mia having so many women down for her, yet not being polyamorous is sad🤣🤣

Well, to be fair, in this case the only woman down for her IS Sarah. (And maybe a little one sided Zoe)

What’re your favorite kh ships?

If I'm being honest... I really only true ship SoKai these days (my forever OTP). Mainly because I feel like that's the only one I can really ever see actually being canon (well, aside from Yozora and Nameless Star, and I also ship them: a lot of that for Versus XIII reasons. My heart won't let go). And, I mean, not that a ship needs to be canon for me to ship them. Not at all. But I'll admit that I've grown out of some of the KH ships a wee bit, as I've found more adult ones in other fandoms to get invested one.

That being said, the KH ships that I do still care about are:

SoKai

RokuShi

Namiku

RokuNami

Terqua (though it seem these days the kids call it Terrqua. Or Terraqua?)

Gulava

Skulmera

Playerlitzia

YozoraNameless Star

Xehaqus

AkuSai

SoRiKai

RiKai

Roxiri (though not in canon. More in fanon. More for crack, kind of, actually. And friendship first and foremost)

I'm warming up to Replinami some these days, because of the tragedy of it all.

I've also started to warm up to Rion a wee bit... that past Shanna thought she'd never see.

SoNami in CoM only.

I could do XionRoxasNaminé. NamiXI, too.

VenAqua slightly, but I'd always choose Terra and Aqua over it (but one thing about the Wayfinder Trio for me, if I'm being truthful, is that I prefer the three of them as friends before any romance with any of them. Part of me even really thinks all three of them are truly just meant to be friends.)

A lot of people ship Ven and Strelitzia for some reason. And I doubt it'll ever happen, tbh. Who knows if they'll ever even really get a chance to meet and be friends. But I do get why they think it'd be cute.

And while I don't know if I truly ship them anymore, a part of me will always have a soft spot for Ventus and Naminé. Because for some reason, I really used to ship this crack pairing, back in the day.

I also don't really know if I ship them... but despite what I said above, I do get the feeling that Nomura might be doing something with Lauriam/Marluxia and Elrena/Larxene.
