**Update: The works mentioned in this post have since been taken down. The “message” was removed by AO3 because it was a violation of their TOS and it seems the author chose to remove their “opinions” piece.**

Despite the ongoing world crisis, I hope everyone is doing great as the year comes to a close and prepping for a safe holiday season.

I don’t really post here a lot, but I just wanted to talk about a problem that exists in every fandom and has recently come up for me in the BSD fandom. This problem is typically referred to as: toxic behavior, however, I sort of hate that term because it’s an umbrella term that encapsulates a wide array of behaviors that is purposefully vague so as to imply everything can be toxic, which means the definition changes depending upon the person, and ends up getting thrown around to describe any behavior that a person dislikes. That said, most people can agree that the term ‘toxic behavior’ includes “shipper wars” and harassing people because of their “ship”.

Yesterday, a user on AO3 going by the penname E_C_arts posted a message titled “deer Soukoku fans” and giving it the not-innocuous summary “please we’re begging you, please stop”. Clicking through leads to a rather prime example of this particular flavor of toxic fandom behavior, guised as an attempt to defend those who were allegedly victims of this self-same behavior, also a lovely example of emotional manipulation.

Although what’s currently posted (and what I managed to screen shot below) may not seem terrible on first glance, if not a little cringey, and can be easy to agree with (don’t bully people that write for a ship you dislike), this was not their original message and has been edited since being posted and, and only after receiving the number of comments it did and which they’re now noting as “proving their point” – a point which they erased, thus manipulating perceptions. I wish I had gotten a screenshot of the original, but if you scroll through the comments, you can find some people that quoted it.

This person most definitely did open their “message” to Soukoku fans by literally telling them to “stop writing” for it. They claimed there was some unspecified AU (or maybe multiple unspecified AUs) that had been overwritten for, that it was overused, and not original. They went on to talk about how the abundance of soukoku content was turning off new fans to the series (don’t even know how that logics…) and bullying people from creating content for other ships, basing these irrational sentiments off some false claim that removing everything with the soukoku ship from the fandom would only leave behind a sad, inacccurate (and oddly specific) 305 posts.

Evidence of their now deleted perspective can be further seen in another post they made to AO3 a couple days before this ugly rant. Titled simply “My unpopular BSD opinions”, they didn’t manage to garner much attention and went mostly ignored because, well, it’s your opinions about the show and that’s whatever. Of course, when you click into it, the very first “opinion” shared, is that they hate Dazai x Chuuya. Okay, that’s an opinion everyone is entitled to, and that’s fine. You don’t like the popular ship, that’s…not exactly an unpopular opinion, there’s quite a number of people that don’t ship soukoku. No problem. Until, they go on to elaborate.

Despite the title of this piece being ‘their opinions’, they state as ‘fact’ that its confirmed that this is “not a thing”, so ‘please stop shipping them it doesn’t work, it’s way too overused for it to be “funny” anymore’ (I’m a little confused about this wording, because Shipping is Serious Business™, so…not sure there are too many soukoku shippers doing it because they think it’s hilarious or whatnot, in fact, most soukoku fics are tagged ‘angst’, which we all know, angst is very ‘haha, lol’…but whatevs). They then include the same sentiment they expanded on in their Dear John to soukoku fans and subsequently deleted: “Please stop, there are too many au’s with almost the exact same plot Chuuya and Dazai being together, its really difficult to find any non-Dazai x Chuuya au’s”.

On the surface, once again, there are some “truths” to this sentiment. DaiChuu is a popular ship and there is a disproportionate amount of soukoku ship fics on the fandom comparative to other ships (soukoku comes in at a whopping 10,000+ currently, with the next popular ship Aku/Atsushi sitting at a decidedly less 2500+). It’s really not that difficult to find non-DazaixChuuya fics, if you know how to use filters on AO3, but there are going to be less to read from when you filter it down, and depending on your ship, you may find yourself in a fic desert, and I can certainly understand why someone young and lacking in rational thought processes might want to blame the popular ship for this predicament.

The problem with this logic, and it permeates every fandom, not just BSD, is that the shippers sharing and loving their ship are not to blame for your lack of ship content. You just don’t have a popular ship. If all the people who love soukoku stopped creating content for it, as this person is ‘begging’ them to do, that’s not going to increase the amount of content for your ships, because the reason that content isn’t being created is because there aren’t enough shippers for it. So, the only way this person’s logic works, is if what this person is actually saying, isn’t that they want these people to stop creating content for the BSD fandom, they just want them to jump ship, stop creating content for soukoku and start creating content for their ships.

Any creator/fan is going to have a visceral reaction to that: who the fuck are you to tell me what to create? And for free, no less!

This moves us more towards a clearer definition of what is toxic fandom behavior. In short, its telling anyone how they should interact with or interpret their favorite content. I mean, even Word of God does not have this power. That’s because every single fan in a fandom is an individual human being. They are possessed of their own autonomy, and as a creator I know, that once you put something out into the world and give it over to others, you have little control over how people consume and feel about your work. You can tell them your intention, but that’s not going to sway them to interpret it that way, and that’s…just the way it works.

Now, the elephant in the room needs to be addressed. It’s easy for me to be ‘offended’ by this person’s post and not see their complaints because I am a soukoku fan. I’m also the target of this person’s rant, and one of those people this person is attempting to emotionally manipulate into writing for other ships in the fandom for which I have no preference. But I am capable of seeing the other side of this argument.

First, because I do have other fandoms in which I am part, and for which I have a rare-pair ship. For example, I am a Gundam Wing fan and a 2x5 (Duo/WuFei) shipper. I’ve posted two 2x5 fics on fanfiction.net. While 2x5 is not the rarest of rarepairs in the Gundam Wing fandom, it is significantly eclipsed (as are almost *all* ships in the fandom) by the 1x2 (Heero/Duo) ship. Do I hate 1x2 shippers for my lack of 2x5 content? No. I just appreciate what I’ve got all the more, and I’ll create content for it when I feel compelled, and I sure the fuck won’t implore 1x2 shippers to stop writing for their fave and write more for mine because I want more 2x5 – that’s sheer entitlement, right there, pure and simple. I also ship 3xD (Trowa/Dorothy) in Gundam Wing, which *is* the rarest of rarepairs – I think there’s only, like, two stories in existence that features this pair on the entirety of the internet. I’m also a RavenxMurphy (Murven) shipper in The 100 fandom and I do not hate Bellarke fans because…those people are scary and have canceled the show’s creator for not delivering on Bellarke, and in BSD, I ship Atsushi/Lucy (yes, I said it, they’re cute af and I hope Asagiri delivers on that ship). I also low-key ship Yosano/Ranpo (sorry, Ranpo/Poe shippers, I understand the appeal, I just think him and Yosano is sooo cute, please don’t kill me…), and I also ship Yosano with Kunikida – all of which are some of the rarest in the BSD fandom.

Second, because I have seen and called out shipping harassment in the BSD fandom, so I am well aware that this kind of thing exists – as it exists literally everywhere and in every flavor. Against soukoku shippers from antis and by soukoku shippers against shippers putting Dazai or Chuuya with any other characters and by soukoku shippers against other soukoku shippers that are, uh, “doing it wrong”. None of these is appropriate. You’re not fighting fire with fire if you’re an anti-attacking the popular ship, you’re just creating a bigger fire and burning the entire fandom down. You’re not defending your ship if you are a soukoku fan attacking non-soukoku fans, you’re just punching down by attacking a less popular ship. And top/bottom arguments aren’t just toxic, they’re also deeply entrenched in fetishization of same sex pairings through a forced heteronormative lens and is, kind of, sort of, actually homophobic in its basis (yes, I said it. It’s ignorant and homophobic and trying to argue with ‘personality/physical traits’ as evidence of who serves what position in the bedroom can be emotionally and mentally damaging to members of the LGBTQ community. Claiming that Chuuya should be bottom because he’s shorter/smaller, or that Dazai has ‘bottom energy’ because he’s more flamboyant and ‘feminine’ is straight up discrimination – a shorter guy can definitely be top, and a manly man can be bottom, it’s not a behavior based on perceived gendered traits, it is just a fucking preferred sexual position, and no, you are not ‘fixing it’ by purposely using positions for these characters that eschews the stereotypes either. Trying to justify positioning by personality/physical traits at all, in any way, shape, or form is just not okay – if it’s your preference, it’s your preference, no justification needed, just recognize that it is *your* preference and arguing what’s ‘right/wrong’ positioning is just plain wrong).

But this brings us to a different issue: bad actors and blaming a whole community for a ‘few rotten apples’. I could easily lump this one person in with everyone that does not ship soukoku and deem them all toxic, aggressive, entitled, bullies attempting to harass soukoku shippers off the platform. Or I could see them for what they are, individuals with individual motivations and drives and morals that also happen to share the same shipping preferences. Is it true to say that there are no soukoku fans that engage in the behaviors described by E_C_arts? No, there are definitely those that do, as there are antis that engage in that same behavior against soukoku fans. But this person also asserts that soukoku fans turning ‘every BSD post about soukoku’ is also a toxic behavior. To which I refer you back to one. This is how they engage with and interpret the work. Don’t yuck on someone else’s yum. People want to gush about how cute they thought soukoku were in an official art, or that they felt there was some hidden (or not so hidden) interaction between them that validates their ship, or their inspired to create soukoku content based on it, so what (for the record, it irks me too when people go ‘see it’s canon and Bones totally ships it’, because it’s unlikely, given BSDs genre, that any romantic relationship will be confirmed, soukoku notwithstanding). It is not, in fact, toxic to gush over it. Let them have their fun with it, let them enjoy their ship. Now, if you go and make a comment about liking the art for other reasons and they reply to you about “…but also soukoku”, then still, that’s not toxic, that’s just them enjoying the content the way that they enjoy it, so let them enjoy it, and you opened yourself to engagement without any qualifiers for the type of engagement you were soliciting, you can’t then backtrack and go ‘but I’m not a soukoku shipper, they should’ve been able to read my mind and known that, it’s totally toxic of them to share their personal reasons for loving the show in response to my sharing my love for the show’. But if you comment about another ship, and they reply to you “…ew, gross! It’s 100% soukoku” then yes, that’s toxic. A lot of people fail to make this distinction, that they are, maybe, merely being triggered and not actually harassed, by feeling like their ship isn’t being validated because they see another ship all over the place and everyone they engage with ships it.

It’s also toxic, to take an experience with one person and hold every soukoku shipper in existence responsible for that one person’s inappropriate behavior. The truth is, that bad actors amongst soukoku fans are not unique, not to the ship and not to the fandom and not even to fandom culture in general. Every group in existence everywhere has bad actors in it that, while the group disavows their behavior, they continue to be held accountable for those individuals and judged by them. For current events, look at how the BLM movement has been blamed for bad actors (many of whom were not actually BLM activists) that took advantage of the protests and started riots and chaos. A small percentage of people were involved in these behaviors, but the entire movement, despite speaking out against rioting, continues to take the blame for it. For me, that’s the root of toxicity. We need to start holding individuals accountable and stop blaming people who have no control over those individuals, because they share a few similar beliefs or interests. That’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But the shippers as a whole are not to blame for the actions of a few, and the reason that it feels that there are so many more soukoku fans that do this is because of volume, there are so many more soukoku fans. It’s basic math. If two percent of fans are these toxic kinds of shippers, then there’s going to be so many more of them in a larger population than a smaller one.

I try to call out toxic behavior, no matter if it’s my ship being lambasted or one of my fellow shippers doing the lambasting, whenever I see it, but the trouble is, I don’t typically go into fan content that isn’t for my ship and, thus, I don’t see it. The same goes for the vast majority of soukoku fans out there. We’re here for soukoku content, we’re seeking out soukoku content, and avoiding what isn’t soukoku content. But here is my offer to all of those who are outside of my ship. I like to argue. If someone is harassing you for having a non-soukoku ship, call me, let me know, I will argue with them for you. I will explain to them in no uncertain terms, and in many unpleasant ways, that they do not represent the soukoku shipping community and they are an embarrassment to us. Content for any and all ships is welcomed and encouraged within the fandom. Write, draw, contribute, be a part of the fandom and express yourself, please. If you are a soukoku shipper (or even if you’re not), and someone is harassing you about your top/bottom preference, call me, let me know, I will argue with them for you. I will explain to them why their justifications for which character should be top or bottom in a same sex pairing is grossly misrepresentative and exploitative of the LGBTQ community and rather disgusting. Do not assume that because we seem to remain silent on these types of harassment that it’s because we are in agreement with them, it is only because we haven’t seen them – why would we, we’re not going in those spaces that weren’t created for us. Ask the community for help, don’t attack the rest of us for the poor actions of a few that we were not even aware of. Let us help you in policing them, rather than assuming we don’t care. We are just too busy staying in our lanes, but if you need us, we are here. Majority of us want a clean, friendly, welcoming community for creators of all types as much as you do.

All of this aside, there are spaces and places for these debates and AO3 is not it. Posting this kind of message is actually a violation of AO3 TOS, constituting as harassment, which is defined on the AO3 TOS as “…any behavior that produces a generally hostile environment for its target…”( https://archiveofourown.org/tos#IV.G.). This general behavior also falls into the realm of another kind of toxic fandom behavior: hijacking a platform/tag for your own purposes that is a direct contradiction to its express usage (otherwise, known as trolling). AO3 is for posting fan-made content that contributes to a deeper understanding and expansion upon the original work. Using AO3 to attack people who are using AO3 for exactly what it is designed to be used for is an abuse of the platform. It’s not okay and invites similar content that will ultimately interfere with the original purpose of the platform. AO3 is for fan content, not for your own personal rants about other people in the community, please keep it that way

I do also want to note, that this person choosing to edit their post after receiving the justified ire from fans (notably soukoku and non-soukoku fans alike upset by the audacity of this person, who, as far as can be told, has never themselves contributed fanfiction to the community, to tell people what they can and cannot write) for their original comments, is a form of manipulative abuse called ‘gaslighting’. They are now claiming to be a victim that “never said to stop writing”, despite that having been the literal words they used in the opening of their original post. They are now pointing at these comments as “proof” of their point that soukoku fans are aggressive bullies that attack without cause when there was definitely cause from the original comments. This person clearly has bigger issues than just lacking shipper content for their personal preferences on the BSD fandom.

To all of those who are afraid to share content for your ship because you think you’ll be harassed, as evidenced by this person’s claims, that is simply not true. While there might be one or two people that say something, we all get them no matter if you have a popular ship or a rarepair ship, haters are gonna hate – I’ve gotten my share of hateful comments towards my ships too, but there are many more people that share your ship and are interested in your content, in fact, some of them are starved for it. While having a rarepair might mean you’ll garner less interactions with your content, you have a better opportunity to form a deeper bond with the people that do interact, and they may be more appreciative, because what you’re delivering to them is so much harder to come by. The existence of one ship does not affect your ship’s popularity, and if it simply went away, that doesn’t mean that your ship would receive more attention – in fact, it might mean the show itself would receive less attention.

Create and let others create and use platforms for their appropriate purposes, and most importantly, when it comes to addressing toxic behavior in a fandom, look to yourself first. Are you placing the blame where it belongs? Are you addressing the root cause of the problem or swinging blindly and attacking innocent bystanders in the process? Will what you say actually help the problem? Or will it contribute to the issue, and maybe even create an issue that didn’t exist before?

I was thinking about something, on the subject of fanfic writing.

Long post ahead. Feel free to skip but I gotta rant.

Fanfiction is less direct than fanart, that strikes immediately. Fanfiction requires an effort to read, even if it’s a pleasure once you read it. If you like it ofc.

I am a fanfic author. I wrote Naruto fics like you guys know, and I wrote fics for a small fandom that ships 2 italian singers who dueted once.

I observed fandom dynamics in this small one because I could see how it was born and how it proceeded and ate itself, because in most fandom there is some event that divides people and leads to the end. For Naruto it was the ending as before there were ship wars and many dramas but they weren’t as tragic as the ending, its pairings and the new shit. In this small fandom I wrote analyses that were incredibly appreciated, even more than my Naruto ones, and ofc I wrote headcanons and mostly fanfictions. Darkish and darkfics actually, and in the beginning there was no moral issues because people in Italy understand that fiction is not reality.

But shit happened anyway, because of twitter and details that it’s pointless to mention. This made most people act like hypocrites, and I called out these things, I wrote unpopular opinions especially on one of the parts of the ship and I was targeted as enemy lol. I argued back, you know how it works. I blocked people, I kept on doing my things. But with people blocked and unpopular opinions expressed, I was no longer popular. It didn’t matter that one of my fics was a Psycho Pass crossover, with inspiration also from dystopian literature classics, set in a retrofuturistic Italy where a sort of consumeristic fascism enabled mind control, and despite that technology being available, its slow bureaucracy still exists and influences the system, where I chose all the characters for all the roles in the most careful way, and where I made aesthetics and a soundtrack....it didn’t matter that this fic was very popular when I first posted it on tumblr then Ao3. It started to be ignored. Just like my other fics.

I kept on writing because I do it for myself, my girl whom I met in that fandom, and the occasional 2 readers, but whenever I post smth on my other tumblr I see how I am totally shunned, while a mediocre author who writes the same plot over and over, is adored. This other author periodically writes reviews to others’ fics, where she apparently praises but actually talks low and criticizes everything, but she’s popular because she writes a lot, like, AUs of all kinds with no regard for ICness, and her reviews happen always when she posts something new, so other authors feel compelled to review hers. She’ll become a politician I swear lol

Sure it’s not because person 1 is a better author, it’s because she’s got better manners. Even person 2 has because she’s fake and ppl don’t see her insults in the beginning. So it’s about manners, and this is what I wanted to express because it’s happening in this fandom as well.

Because I don’t like to see things that piss me off and I don’t like to discuss or worse, to be fake, I blocked so many people I don’t even remember, and among them there were big blogs as well. I wrote unpopular opinion, about Naruto the character and his dynamic with Sasuke, but mostly about Itachi, and this made me unpopular because how dare I not call him a cinnamon roll right? I am also sincere when I receive asks, which means being blunt at times, if smth pisses me off in my blog. And I’m too sincere when I say I don’t read others’ fanfictions because I was disappointed too many times lol.

In short, I don’t keep contacts. And in a fandom, having this or that blog ‘recommend’ you is crucial, like in real life, apparently.

Not blaming anyone here. I made my own choices, I have a hard life already, I sure don’t care about being fake nice when I have opinions. I would like to read some good fics but I don’t have the patience to look for good ones cause I know I won’t like most of them and I can’t pretend. And I learned the hard way that if you tell (some) ppl that you would like some respect they’re gonna feel attacked because (some) ppl feel entitled to tell the author whatever, but they don’t tolerate if said author talks back.

So, I am happy to see that readers always like my Itasasu fics, despite my unpopular opinions, I’m really happy. But I don’t always feel like writing IS as you guys know. Right now I’m working on 2 fics at the same time, a dark N*rusasu that is the sequel of another dark NS, and I don’t expect this to be popular because it’s a dark NS and Nar is not a ball of sunshine, actually I received a lot of hate for OFAF already, or for In The Dark, I’m actually surprised whenever I receive a positive comment lol. I’m also writing Broken Things, which is Shisui x Sasuke, which is a super rare pairing, and while I know that rarepairs are less popular, I remember how much more enthusiastic ppl were about my other Shisasu fic, Victims of Peace.

This is kinda making me doubt the value of Broken Things, even though, rationally, I know that it’s a completely different thing, as the plot is less important and it’s more slice of life-ish, and even though I’m enjoying writing it very much, maybe because I had this unpleasant experience with the other fandom, I kinda associate the two things.

Anyway. I wanted to let this out. If I’m not a popular author it’s not like I’ll stop writing. In fact I’m also writing fics for the other fandom cause instead of interrupting them I intend to finish them, because I value my writing more than popularity and more than being nice at all costs lol. You guys do you, I’ll do the same lol. Hawk out

martin!

eheh its the day after but i finally got around to answering this

How I feel about this character

mahtin my beloved. jon’s bear husband is a bitch and i like him so much. i think he’s a very cool character, i like that he gets to be pragmatic, bitchy, charismatic, insecure and gentle at once. i like that he has flaws and a short temper at times and that he writes mediocre poetry. he gets some of my favorite “oh, fuck you, actually” moments on the podcast. i care him. i think if i met someone like him in real life i’d eventually find them oddly charming

All the people I ship romantically with this character

i do really love jonmartin. i have big feelings about them and i like how they slowly got to know each other, how they built their connection in the midst of terror. i also really love martim, very often in the formula: friends with benefits with a loving connection, who gradually build a relationship from there. jonmartim is also a big fave, they would balance each other really well.

as for rarepairs, it takes an interesting rare-pair story to convince me. or if you are @gerrydelano, it takes literally a bunch of disconnected rambles about a secret ship in his fic and im sold ten times over

My non-romantic OTP for this character

eheh i’ve talked about this more extensively in the melanie ask but i really think a melanie&martin friendship would be extremely cool

My unpopular opinion about this character

people write him too flat too often. there’s So Much content around him but he’s rarely characterised with the amount of depth he deserves. it’s hard to write in-character stuff, for sure, but he has a very specific voice that very easily falls into a stereotype, i think? like he’s often the “cinnamon roll too good for this word too pure <3″ or “mean asshole” (though more often the first one) and neither really fits

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

idk if there's anything i would add cause so much time is devoted to martin, especially in s5. i wish he had said “yeah i am a gay man and also im so fucking hot” on record cause he deserves it

feel free to send me other characters <3

#tma #martin #sometimes i talk #femmedionysus #asks

Bane/Edward AND Edward/Question

im only gonna do one bc honestly i dont have anything to say about riddler/question other then i think its funny lmaoo

what made you ship it?

telltale’s batman did this to me! they never interact on screen but we can tell they have a lot of history from how Bane talks about him and reacts to his death

also @trellanyx ENABLED ME

(im still captain of this ship goddamnit!)

what are your favorite things about the ship?

Edward is always looking for someone who can challenge him and match his intelligence but he also clearly likes strong guys like Batman. Bane is the perfect guy for Edward bc of this!! hes strong, a genius, and he wouldnt object to Edward’s life of crime bc hes a criminal too!

them both being genius criminal masterminds is the big reason i like the idea of them together. they would play off each other well bc of that and bc of their very different personalities. i also like the idea of them genuinely caring about each other haha

is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

its a super rarepair so i think just shipping it in general is an unpopular opinion lmaoo. i legit created the ao3 tag for it, its that rare

anyway stan riddlebane

#hoodies q and a #hoodie talks about batman #riddlebane #bailey1rox

👉👈 Every ship ask for the boboiboy fandom? please? thank you //sad cape whoosh

aha now we’re talkin

1. What was your first OTP? boifang- my sister had only about a thousand screenshots of them before she finally managed to drag me in so its not like i had a choice--

2. What is your current OTP? answered this already

3. Do you have any OT3/OT+ ships? What are your favorites? hmm the only ones i have rn are goboifang and manramen x kaizo x pirate soldier guy. oh but like lowkey ayu yu x kiki ta x ejo jo dont question me okay-

4. What is/are your favorite trope(s)? idk if its a trope but like i want some brotp in my otp yknow and monsta does that right i just hhh bless. but also like the whole yin-yang thing going on with fang and bbb is just ahhh im weak

5. What is/are your least favorite trope(s)? hmmm in the fandom its mostly the hetshipping like i have no hate on any ships but a lot of times it does feel like theyre shipping for the sake of straight than dynamic which is really. unfortunate.

6. Do you have a certain kind of ship you’re more attracted to? bros being homies okay im so weak for the idiot memelords who all share one singular braincell its wonderful.

7. Are most of your ships “pure” or “problematic”? uhh i think as far as this fandom goes none of my ships are actively being bashed on and theyve all got pretty wholesome dynamics sooo nah? but then like i go and angst them all up so idk if that makes them problematic lol--

8. Who is the most shippable person you can think of? ...fang. probably because i think about him the most and also cause he got one of the best character development arcs and that just gives him a really solid dynamic with other characters //now im just making excuses hes my favorite okay

9. Are there any fandoms you don’t have any ships for? kind of? im kinda neutral on ships like i dont Need them (esp not in canon i actually prefer canon to be shipless bLESS MONSTA) and i don’t bash on any for the most part i can See all ships. but i dont necessarily actively Ship ships all the time yknow? so ig the answer is no...

10. Do characters have to have canon interactions for you to ship them? lmao nope (see kiki ta x ayu yu and probs a dozen other ships that dont come to mind at the moment)

11. What makes a great ship in your own opinion? uhhh dynamic??

12. What drives you away from a ship? lack of dynamic-- shipping for aesthetic is nice but i just appreciate the good art without really connecting to the ship itself yknow

13. Is there anything you ship but refuse to interact with the community for? mm yes. idk i feel like the fanbase is polarized between “soft pure bean with no or few ships” and “thirsty simps 18+ only” and both categories scare me too much to chat ships with lol

14. Has a fanbase ever made you ship or not ship something? Why? yES but not the bbb fanbase thankfully cantsaythesameforthelastfandomuhm

15. Do you like/participate in ship wars? Why or why not? already answered this one

16. Are there any ships you just can’t/don’t understand? What are they? boya. also saifang, come to think of it (the latter is significantly less popular). in both cases i consider them as a familial bond and cant really see them any other way? like i see bbb and yaya as mlm wlw solidarity and sai as an older brother to fang more than anything else so yknow hshsh

17. Are there any popular ships that you just don’t like? What are they? i mean the collective fandom otp is boicest so yknow. not my jam uwu

18. What is your favorite unpopular ship? bruh my otp is unpopular ToT

19. Do you prefer fluff, angst, or smut for your ships? angstangstangst *cough* ill take a nice order of fluff please and thank you kindly uwu

20. Do you prefer bigger fanbases or smaller ones? big fanbase have more content and its easier to find ppl to talk about rarepairs with. small fandom already have so few people its near impossible to find anyone to talk about your toiny ship with and even harder to find fellow fans irl. big fandoms have more potential toxicity tho--

21. Have you ever received hate for a ship you liked? lmao yeah but not for this fandom //probs cause i rarely talk about bbb ships in public anyway lol

22. Do you have any ships that you ship, but would never want to see as canon? all of them. i praise monsta every day for making their content 100% gen and i would never want it any other way bLESS

DR ASK MEME LET'S GOOOO! 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 18, 22, 26, 27, 30, 31, 34, 45, 46, 51, 52, 60, 76, 99 ♥

7. Favourite class trial from all the games?

-- Without a doubt, SDR2 Case 5. It was honestly the only trial that got me excited, even after being spoiled so hard. I didn’t have much of an opinion on Nagito when I first saw it, but afterwards I was just in awe. Not because I admired him, just because it was so interesting how he managed to come up with all of that.

8. Least favourite character?

-- I’m not exactly sure if I have one. There are certain characters I dislike because of strange writing, lack of story purpose, general dislikeable traits [inappropriate behaviour] or just because of personal bias. Overall, I’d say I dislike Ibuki the most. It’s more of a neutral-dislike though. It’s not that she’s bad, per se, I just don’t see her appeal. She’s just sort of there to me and her chipper up-beat attitude is hard to keep up with. I guess she’s a mix of all the traits I listed above.

9. Least favourite class trial?

-- There are a few I dislike because of their difficulty or their windiness. SDR2 Case 2 hits both of these. I really hate the Twilight Syndrome Murder Case sideplot, and Peko’s talks about being a tool are a bit uncomfortable even if I do like her relationship with Fuyuhiko.

10. What would be your Ultimate Title?

-- I think I may have considered this? I remember an old prompt had me listed as the Ultimate Character Artist/Designer.

13. What’s your opinion on the Danganronpa 3 anime?

-- I still have not watched it as of now. I’ve heard mixed opinions. Some say it’s good, others say it’s awful. I’m interested in the Future Foundation, though. Also this might help lighten my opinion on Ibuki a bit.

18. Favourite rare ship?

-- Maki x Angie! One of the few rarepairs I have, I am completely famished for content. Only 12 fics on Ao3 and most of them are unfinished, have them as a background ship or are short in length :(. I need to draw them more together.

22. Favourite talent?

-- No opinion. If I had to choose, I’d say Ultimate Assassin purely because it was wasted potential. Inventor, Detective and Soldier are pretty close as well.

26. Favourite execution?

-- Kaede’s! It’s memorable and I like the suffering in it. I wish there were more like hers. Yes I do hate Der Flohwalzer now.

27. Least favourite execution?

-- Mikan’s. Really upset me how there was fanservice in her execution of all things. Just plain insensitive! The idea is bland itself as well.

30. Which character would’ve deserved to survive?

-- Probably Leon. Dude didn’t deserve to die so fast. Such a cool character design and personality! And for what? Dying first in the first game because the designers were sick of him???

31. Is there a character you think who shouldn’t have survived but did?

-- Not exactly, no. I remember being super happy when Imposter died because I was mad at Byakuya though ^^;; imagine my disappointment when I found out that was a fake. Overall, I don’t have an opinion. Some of the survivors would’ve been cool as blackeneds, but I’m neutral on all of them. Petition for Mastermind!Himiko.

34. Best character design?

-- Ooh, I really liked Fuyuhiko’s but I’d say it’s a tie between Mondo and Juzo. I just think they’re neat, alright?

45. Unpopular opinion?

-- Ultra Despair Girls was better than any of the main games when it comes to plot enjoyment.

46. Unpopular headcanon?

-- Kokichi is bisexual.

51. Character you thought you were gonna dislike but loved in the end?

-- Maki, for sure. I disliked her for a while, but now I can tolerate her pretty decently. She’s ok.

52. Character you thought you would like but disliked in the end?

-- Byakuya. Honestly I only liked him as first because I thought he was hot and then got super mad because he turned out to be a rude piece of shit.

60. Saddest moment?

-- I didn’t cry during any playthroughs, but V3 was just a pain rollercoaster so that gets its own moment.

76. Favourite research lab?

-- Shuuichi’s!! Sure, there’s poison everywhere, but it just seems cozy. Otherwise I’d say Himiko’s or Korekiyo’s.

99. Your absolute NOTP?

-- Maki x Kokichi. No. This is the first thing I think of when I think of BAD. AWFUL. I’ve considered being lenient for pre-game, but no. I’m lumping them together. No.

crozving!! and le vesconte!! and irving!!

Crozving

When I started shipping them: Oh I don’t know, a few months ago? When we had a haha what if we shipped them…. that would be crazy… unless..? And now we are just in rarepair hell

My thoughts: GOOD! SOFT! TENDER!

What makes me happy about them: I just love the idea of two lonely souls coming together and making one another whole. It’s perfect. I love it

What makes me sad about them: The depression and loneliness, self hatred and lack of self worth between the two… choice

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: this is so rare its literally just between us so like… yeah

Things I look for in fanfic: actually writing it

My wishlist: Just like… more. can we do more?? pwease im dying

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I ship crozier with Fitzjames, Blanky, and Macca. I ship Irving with Hickey, Tozer, Little, and Goodsir (yes!! its good!!)

My happily ever after for them: I think finding comfort and safety in one another, finally allowing themselves to settle down in a good place with a large garden and room for their dogs (maybe adopting one of francis’ many sons).

Sweet BOY Irving

How I feel about this character: love him! I think like many people I really didn’t like Irving’s character but then as I continued to write and rp as him, I sort of took control of the wheel and made my own boy

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: oh jeez. As said above, Crozier, Little, Goodsir, Tozer, Hickey, and Jopson (forgot to put that above but its fine).

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: I really love the concept of Irving being good friends with Goodsir and just helping him be a lil funky god honoring scientist.

My unpopular opinion about this character: He’s not as bad as people make him out to be as the uptight christian that a lot of people make him out to be ://

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: a discussion about his hot boy summer in Australia

Favorite friendship for this character: Jacko and irving!!

My crossover ship: Gosh if I had to it would be James Reed from the Hunger (yeah James Reed from the Donner Party) but specifically his interpretation in the hunger (as a closeted gay man). Just let them live and settle in California together

Finally dundy time -power stance-

How I feel about this character: absolute love of my life, look at my blog url lmaoooo. Declan Hannigan is king of bg characters

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Fitzjames, Des Voeux, Jopson, and Hodgson

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: I love him and Armitage being awkward snack lads

My unpopular opinion about this character: you can vilify him for abandoning the sick but it wasn’t Dundy’s decision alone and Little was the first person to say they should abandon people. You guys are just mad about it

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Like any sort of interaction with James, fun times, let him talk more??

Favorite friendship for this character: Fitzjames and Gore. i love Lieutenant bffs

My crossover ship: god I really don’t have one. Do i count?t

hanks bby

send me a fandom, character, or ship and i’ll answer these questions

#thankkkk #long post #hungry-hobbits

Rarepair Headcanons Meme

An unpopular headcanon that I have A headcanon about one of my rarepairs A headcanon about a character that most people ignore A headcanon of mine that totally contradicts canon A headcanon that I wish more people would use A headcanon that I actually prefer over canon A "guilty pleasure" headcanon that I have A headcanon that I'm surprised more people don't share A headcanon that changed the way I see a character A headcanon I made to fill a plot hole in canon A headcanon that I rarely get the chance to talk about A headcanon that contradicts popular fandom tropes A headcanon that I created now on the spot

- mcrdeviantclub

I saw this on my dash and decided to answer all of them for Petopher!

An unpopular headcanon that I have: Chris Argent and Peter Hale have been in love with each other the entire time, since they first met in high school. They drive each other nuts, especially with Chris’ straight-laced stuffiness and Peter’s devil-may-care brattiness. But no matter what, Chris is always happiest when he’s around the werewolf, and Peter’s best anchor is Chris (he has two -- family/pack and Christopher).

A(nother) headcanon about one of my rarepairs: Chris likes accepting hunts that take him across the country or even overseas -- not necessarily because he likes to travel, but more so that he can take Peter with him. Amidst the blood and gore and violence, they can openly be a couple. When they’re on the road, they’re free to just be themselves.

A headcanon about a character that most people ignore: Victoria Argent knew from the very beginning that Chris and Peter were having an affair. She hated it; it was the biggest source of contention in their marriage. Chris would come home covered in coarse black wolf hairs, and was NOT allowed in their bedroom until he had showered; Victoria wasn’t stupid. But she also knew that she and Chris were in an arranged marriage, not a love match. Even though Chris loved her and respected her, there was no way she would ever get between the Hunter and his werewolf. And she wasn’t vicious enough to tell Gerard, so she just grit her teeth and bore it. But it just added to her hatred of werewolves, and the Hale Pack in particular.

A headcanon of mine that totally contradicts canon: That Chris/Melissa never bloody happened. I just can’t. It’s evil. Everyone knows Melissa’s supposed to be with the Sheriff. I hate Jeff Davis, crushing all my hopes and dreams! >_<

A headcanon that I wish more people would use: I do wish there were more mpreg!Petopher fics. :\ But really I just want more Petopher; beggars can’t be choosers.

A headcanon that I actually prefer over canon: Isn’t that the point?

A "guilty pleasure" headcanon that I have: I’m a proud ABO fan -- bring on the mpreg! \^0^/

A headcanon that I'm surprised more people don't share: That Peter’s NOT a total psycho waiting to kill everyone just for funsies. He wanted revenge for what happened to him and his family, he resented Laura and Talia for being weak alphas, so he did what he felt he had to do. Everyone else he killed on the show had it coming anyways.

A headcanon that changed the way I see a character: Shipping Petopher actually let me like Chris Argent more. I’m more willing to sympathize with him now, because S01 - S03 Argent was a complete tool; just a self-righteous hypocritical bullying anti-villain.

A headcanon I made to fill a plot hole in canon: Chris totally was the one to pull Peter from the fire. He helped Laura make arrangements for Peter to stay at Beacons Crossing Home, and this was why Laura and Derek thought it was okay to just abandon an injured pack member while they hightailed it to NYC -- because they knew Chris and Peter were together and thought having Chris was probably all Peter would need to get better. Unfortunately, they all grossly underestimated the extent of Peter’s psychological, emotional, and physical trauma, when he woke up and his entire pack/family was gone.

A headcanon that I rarely get the chance to talk about: Alpha!Peter bites Chris rather than Scott, and together they go after everyone who was involved in the Hale Fire. I don’t even think I’ve read a fic like this?

A headcanon that contradicts popular fandom tropes: I do not enjoy Steterpher/Stetopher/whatever the name is. I don’t think Chris is the sort who would ever touch any of those kids. (Peter might, though. :P)

A headcanon that I created now on the spot: Chris taught Peter how to ride a motorcycle, and for their 1st year mating/wedding anniversary he bought Peter a beautiful brand new bike, which Peter still has. Peter taught Chris how to correctly identify over 1000 plants, including the Nine Herbs Charm, and several rare strains of wolfsbane.

KPS Tag

@kagsprotectionsquad

This got pretty long, so under the cut it goes (my main, the blog I’m following from, is @inazumaelle btw)

1. What is your (nick)name?

Aida. I have a nickname, but it doesn’t make much sense out of context, and is only used by some of my skype friends.

2. What are your pronouns?

She/her

3. Who is your favorite character in Haikyuu!!

Kageyama, definitely.

4. What are your favorite Kags ships?

I have a weak spot for Kageyama/Kenma/Kuroo, Kageyama/Asahi, Kageyama/Tanaka and Kageyama/Suga

5. Do you have a rare pair ship involving Kags that you love, so yes which one?

I’m p sure everything I listed at 4 is a rarepair (except maybe Kageyama/Suga? Idk)

But honestly, I love p much every ship with Kageyama because the creators (be it fic, art, or posts) always sell it so well

6. What is/are your Haikyuu!! otp(s)?

Like I said, I ship pretty much everything if the creator makes a compelling argument for it

7. Are their any other fandoms that you’re part of, so yes which ones?

I’m in quite a lot of fandoms, ha. I’m currently most active in the Voltron and Yuri on Ice fandom. Getting into Kuroko no Basket, but I'm straying away from content until I finish watching go avoid spoilers

8. What are your favorite things to eat and drink?

Drinks:

I love milkshakes, Gazeuze Champagne, chocolate milk, coke, and regular milk

Food:

Hamburgers, pizza, rice, chicken, mac n cheese, spareribs

9. Which animals are the best/your favorites?

I don’t really have a favorite animal, but anything cute, heh

10. What is the best opening and ending song in the Haikyuu!! anime?

The opening of S1, and I don’t have a preference for the ending. I may or may not always skip them

11. Which ice cream flavor is your favorite?

Lemon!

12. What country do you live in?

The Netherlands

13. What things are you incredibly afraid of?

The future, mainly…

14. What are some of your favorite songs at the moment?

Tom Odell - Another Love

The music box version of On Love - Agape

Thomas Bergersen - Flight of the Silverbird

15. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

Night owl! I prefer to stay up after midnight, but I can only do it when I have no obligations the next day

16. Who of the Karasuno first years do you think should be captain and vice-captain once they’re third years?

Hmm, that’s a tough one. I haven’t really thought about it much… It really depends on how everyone develops? I mean, I can see all of them fitting the role if their growth goes a certain way, yknow?

Hinata’s awesome at motivation and pep-speeches, but would prolly struggle a bit with the technical aspect. And maybe I’m just dense, but I don’t think Hinata is all that good at reading people, so that would be a bit of an issue

Tsukishima would be great at the technical aspect, and while he would probably notice if his teammates were out of sort, he might struggle with addressing it because he’s p guarded, so not a big fan of emotional one-on-one’s.

Kageyama would be good at the technical aspect, but he might struggle with putting his observations into words. He might not necessarily be good at pep speeches, but his unwavering determination and confidence in his team would be p reassuring on its own.

He’d probably be vise, because as it is I think he might shy away from an outright leadership role out of fear of falling into old habits? It’d be reassuring to know there’s a captain to reel him in and sort things out if it goes off-rails.

Yamaguchi would be pretty good at the social aspect: pep speeches, motivation, and noticing if his teammates are going through stuff, and he would be good at talking it over with them. But as it his, his nerves probably would get in the way. It’s not much of a boost of confidence to see your captain freaking out before a match, I’d imagine

TL;DR

I have no clue. I can see the potential for it in all of them, so it rly depends on how their character growth goes

17. Do you have any Kags headcanons, so yes please share?

I have a bunch of them! My main one, tho, the one that doesn’t change no matter what context or AU I put him into is that he’s autistic.

18. What is your favorite fanfic involving Kags?

Aaah, I’m awful at picking favorites, but I love the angsty ones, especially if it’s gen!

19. What nickname do you use for Kags?

I usually just spell it full out, but if I don’t I switch between Kags and Kage.

20. What is your unpopular opinion about Kags?

Eh, I can imagine there are people who aren’t wild about me headcanoning him as autistic…

21. What are some of your hobbies?

I play the trumpet in a brassband, and I like photography and writing.

22. What is something you like about Kags?

Soooo many things omg?

I like how he intense and excited he gets about the things he’s passionate about. I

like how he has next to no middle ground between throwing himself into something fully or just being completely disinterested. t’s so relatable

I like how he always strives to improve- both his volleyball skills and to move beyond his “King of the Court” past

I like his awkwardness

I like how interesting a character he is: that he seems like a permanently pissed off asshole even tho a lot of that is a combination of an unfortunate neutral expression and a tendency of being both completely honest- prolly often without realizing how harsh it comes off as- and his words coming out wrong.

I could go on, but this post is already long enough, heh.

Do you ship any extreme crack ships? (Same question for other minor or major fandoms)

I’ve been shipping rarepairs since I didn’t even know what shipping was, I just knew that the plausible pairing was boring and I saw more possibilities elsewhere.I’m gonna include also rarepairs cause I ship many of them too. And by rarepair I intend a pairing where the characters met/interacted even just once, or an unpopular pairing or a pairing no one cares about, while by crack ship I intend characters who never met but who, if they did, would be very interesting together. Characters who need alternate timelines, AUs and similar plot devices to meet because in canon one died when the other was too young, and so on…basically what y’all do.

Naruto

I listed my fave Naruto pairings here, so I’m gonna paste my reasons (do we really need them?) from that link.

ShisuixSasuke

I can proudly say: that’s my crack ship. Here I explained why I am really intrigued by its potential. The non-massacre filler arc had interesting elements, one of those was Shisui training Sasuke. Lots of angst potential, like both loving Itachi and being jealous of the other, and somehow getting close to each other.

MadaraxSasukeMy second fave rarepair. It’s interesting, dark and hot and bittersweet, sort of, at the same time. Sasuke is pure and easily manipulated when Itachi is mentioned. And he respects strenght, which Madara has plenty of. Also Sasuke is sarcastic and rude, a rebel. Madara is sarcastic and snarky, a rebel too. They both are visionaries, in their own way. I explained it better here and here.

ObitoxSasuke

My third, almost second fave rarepair. I find this pairing very intriguing, with a lot of dark potential. I explained it better here. Obito and Sasuke did spend time together so there’s room for imagination. I think that Obito felt some resentment towards Sasuke for Itachi’s death, even though he used him for his plan. And he did tie Sasuke up and watch him as he was unconscious. That part had a lot of tension. It’s easy to imagine Obito doing things to him, or asking Sasuke to do him things, so he would help him. Anyway, Sasuke respects strength and Obito is very strong, and knowledgeable. Part of my “canon behind the screen” pairings (I mean not only he tied him up, he healed him, he also transplanted Itachi’s eyes on him and he stayed around…)

MinatoxItachi It popped into my head out of nowhere after a cute doujinshi where they interacted in a totally non shippy way, and somehow it turned into something else. They both are idealists, both are calm and composed but determined and future oriented. They both sacrificed themselves to protect their precious person, but in doing so they both ruined their lives.

ShikamaruxSasukeBoth are very smart but in different ways. Both are observant and strategic. Both are usually lost in their own thoughts, one in contemplation of clouds and stuff, the other lost in memories and plans and considerations. Both are familiar with revenge. At his best Shikamaru is open-minded, as shown in the way he never had prejudices against N*ruto as a kid. I think in a post-ending setting he might be one of the first to actually talk to him because he knows how it feels to want revenge above everything, among all things, so he shouldn’t be one of those who judge him. At his worst, Shikamaru’s individuality has been brainwashed by Konoha like everyone else, so he might keep an eye on him cause he doesn’t trust him. Which means darker interactions and possibilities. Also his shadow jutsu…

DeidaraxSasuke and here is why

ObitoxItachi Obiita is the new Madaita! Itachi’s Madara is Obito. Obito helped Itachi with the massacre, being his (dark) mentor, sort of. And despite Obito’s devotion and love for Rin, the way Obito talked about Itachi to Sasuke, and the way Itachi talked about “Madara”, suggested a dark master-pupil relationship with some sort of sadistic pet-like affection from Obito’s side, but also real admiration and resentment for Sasuke, the cause of his death. I explained it better here. And it’s part of my “canon behind the screen” pairings (it totally happened, after the massacre, in their Akatsuki days).

(Pairings like Kakasasu, Kakaita, Juusasu, Suisasu are rare but not strange at all, or Kakasaku, Orosasu, it’s all in that link)

Bleach

I pretty much ship Renjixanyone. Or rather, anyonexRenji lol, in a dark sort of way ofc.That doesn’t change. Also dark anyonexUlquiorra, bonus points darkIchigoxUlquiorra or darkIchigoxRenji, or anything involving Shuuhei. but since I also like het Bleach pairings I also like RenjixMomo or RenjixOrihime. Oh and ShuuheixMomo. Or Matsumotoxanyone. My main ship is Byaren but I’m open minded. I once read a 70+ chapters in french, a KenpachixUlquiorra modern/gangster AU where lots of shit happened and not only I didn’t care about the ship but I was only there for the many dark things happened to Ulquiorra by the hands of Aizen and more lol

Psycho Pass

Ok this seems crack/rare/unpopular cause I almost can’t find anything bottom Kougami and it’s such an intriguing dynamic, and also quite plausible if you consider his slave-like state as Enfoncer having to obey to Inspectors…but all I can find is the opposite and ugh. boring. Anyway, GinozaxKougami. I just love it. And I dislike how Ginoza is usually portrayed instead. I’m quite indifferent to Makishima instead, but I woulnd’t refuse some dark MakishimaxKougami.

Noragami

Tbh I mostly like to see Yato in angsty and painful situations lol, I like the canon details of blighting and stinging and his tears for the shinki memories, as I previously said. So since all this is kinda bottom-ish I’d be ok with any pairing as long as these details are there. (it was the same with Saiyuki tbh)

Game of Thrones

Tbh I started shipping in GoT quite late cause I was just enjoying the show. Anyway, I just don’t ship some characters, like Arya (except for meeting Nymeria and going on adventures together). Instead I kinda like Sansa with more than one, like JonxSansa was surprisingly interesting (and I was surprised to see there was a consistent fanbase for them) and I have a soft spot for TheonxSansa, both as characters and even more as a pairing. Oh wait this isn’t a rarepair…well what about Yara GreyjoyxDaenerys lol, and TormundxBrienne, everyone’s into JamiexBrienne but meh. Speaking of Tormund I saw TormundxJon edits and thanks tumblr, now I ship them.

I’m sure I’m forgetting many but ok lol

#vivalarevolution: bonds #vivalarevolution #shisasu #shikasasu #madasasu #rare pairings are fascinating
