Slight vent I guess but mostly a rant
Is it bad that I can't really stand romantic angst. Like of course a relationship can't be without it's muddy waters, I get that but at the same time if the fanfiction is completely angsty and could just be solved by both of the characters just sitting down and talking it out I just can't stand that kind of writing. I get that it's realistic in a way but at the same time I read fanfiction to kind of escape reality rather than be reminded of it. Also I've dealt with issues similar and simply talking does solve shit so it pisses me off when a ship of a angsty fanfic just doesn't talk like, "bro, I've dealt with something like this before. Can we move on to the next problem?" And also to make that worse, in said angsty fanfic Person A then gets drunk and has sex with someone that isn't person B to cause more issues like istg I feel like the author doesn't even ship it at this point and just hates both characters I swear or fucking romanticizes angst just for the sake of angst like STOP. Yes this is to rant about a certain fan comic that hasn't left my head and I absolutely hate it but the art style is unfortunately really good.
That being you can like what you like if you're into things like that for the sake of "making the story interesting" but I just don't. I rather be happy about a drawing than be sad or even grumpy about it.
#Rant#Fanfic Rant#fanfiction#Shipping#Yes this is a “Lapidot” fanfic I'm ranting about#Also including sex on a angsty fanfiction is a major ick unless if it's like the good ending kind of shit#I don't like angst#Fan Comic rant#Sorry about the rant

Lapidot Angst Week Day 1 : Nightmare
The beach was shaded in the green from a legion of hand-ships. Their booms from breaking the atmosphere were still echoing in the distance. The gems on the beach, frozen in shock. The glowing, whirring balls of energy charged at the finger of the lead ships. The young human-hybrid spared a glance at his fellows; the tall and usually stoic Garnet, staring at the sky, her eyes wide in shock, Pearl, her spear drawn in reflex against the oncoming threat, the tip shaking in fear, Amethyst, fists pulled up to her chest defensivley, her head whipping back and forth between the static balls of energy aimed toward them.
His shield. Where is his shield?
The screen door to the beachhouse opened, somehow heard over the deafining buzz of energy above them.
No. Go back inside. Don’t come out here.
Peridot stood on the porch, defiantly staring at the armada of ships. She looked down at the gems and said, as the lasers shot from the cannons,
“I’m a Crystal Gem too.”
“NO! STOP!” Lapis shot up from her hammock.
Her chest heaved with breaths she didn’t need. The walls of the barn greeted her and the silence of the moon base assaulted her ears. Her head shook back and forth, reorienting herself.
A dream? Or… Oh no. Did Steven?
She lept out of the barn and took flight towards the top of the base. Landing on the top floor she ran to the windows facing towards Earth.
The half-shadowed planet didn’t show any signs of the ships from her dream, but stars forbid that Steven might have somehow contacted her through her sleep, and they had already entered the atmosphere…
She lept down onto the second floor and strode toward the orb in the middle of the room.
“Show me the beach.”
The walls flickered to life, showing the ocean splashing against the sand, soundlessly, over and over again. Turning, she was once again below the Crystal Gem’s temple, whole and staring serenely over the waves.
The pressure in Lapis’s chest lifted momentarily. Then her brow furrowed.
“Show me the Crystal Gems.”
The scene shifted to the inside of the house, Pearl whisking away at some mixture in a large bowl, to some wooded area where Garnet was sitting at the bank of a pond, watching a family of frogs jumping from pad to pad. Connie was sitting at a desk in a bland room with other young humans. Then the picture jumped to a dark canyon where Steven, Amethyst, and Peridot were planting sunflowers.
Flowers in a Kindergarten?
Lapis chuckled aloud.
I suppose if anyone can do it, it’d be those three.
She sat down and sighed, letting the walls return to their steely grey.
They’re all safe. Everything is okay.
Sporting a small smile, Lapis flitteted down to the first floor of the base, where the doors to the barn were still wide open. Her footsteps padding against the weathered wood. She stood in the middle of the barn, wondering what to do.
The hammock swayed gently in her corner, the couch and TV set were upstairs along with all five seasons of Camp Pining Hearts. She had tried and failed to get the TV to work.
Peridot could have done it.
Lapis shook her head and walked to her pile of meep morps. She had put all of them into their proper place and set them up correctly, even Peridot’s very first meep morp “Wow, Thanks”.
They are installation pieces after all.
She felt a pang in her chest. Backing away from the meep morps she ended up at the wide opening at its front. Looking over the interior of their home, her heart ached.
What is happening? What is out of place?
Confused, she let her wings carry her to the second floor once more, clutching at her heart all the while. Lighting on the edge of the rectangular hole where the stairs would ascend, Lapis looked down at the barn.
Funny, it almost looks like a meep morp from up here. Peridot would love…
There it was again, the throbbing pain in her chest. She moved away from the opening, towards the side of the room.
She sat along the cold wall, wrapping her arms around her legs. The pain faded away to a dull aching as Lapis looked up through misty eyes at the orb lightly glowing in the room’s center.
“Please,” she said in a pleading, tearful whisper, “show me what is missing.”
As the walls began to flicker once more, she continued,
“Show me Peridot.”

lapidot angst(?)
eng lyrics:
wake up on earth
painted planet
on painted grass
at the painted dawn
know that on earth will remain forever
under my heart beats for you the words
my sun
my sun, get up
give me fifteen minutes to start
sorry, goodbye
and on earth will remain forever
my sun

HEADCANON (lapidot angst. suffer >:] )
Peridot is PISSED at Lapis for leaving. Peridot understood what she did wrong, but she also realized that Lapis wasn't really great either. And especially with taking the barn and everything in it along with her, not even considering on how that would make Peridot feel.
AND. after destroying the barn on Blue's head, she just pops in with a simple "Hey.", and nothing else after that. I'm guessing that the reason why we hardly see them in Future is because Peridot isn't really willing to work with Lapis anymore unless necessary, and doesn't wanna tell Steven that.
Lapis notices Peridot's grudge and is deeply saddened and upset with herself, knowing that she really hurt her. She couldn't bring herself to confront Peridot about it and apologize, so she went to Bismuth, and the two have grown more attached. Peridot sees this and thinks Lapis left her in the dust, again. She continues to distance herself from Lapis, and even shows some hostility toward her, giving her furrowed eyebrows and a huff whenever she walked by. She probably also didn't let Lapis near Pumpkin either, only near the last few days of her life.
so yeah that's the idea. eat up

top 10 yuris
usually i would answer these asks in a jokinG manner but you've asked me about a topic i am extremely passionate about so prepare for a massive text post
addinG a cut here because this post is larGeee and i don't want it cloGGinG up any dashes
NUMBER 10: hatbow!
at number 10 due to the extreme lack of canon interaction but the fact it's here at all despite how little of it exists is a testament to how much these two have rotted in my brain. Go play a hat in time it's so cute and so fun i wish there was more content of these two

NUMBER 9: kimona!
ah kimona. how i wish there was more actual canon content of these two. this shit made volume 5 for me it's the reason volume 5 is the only volume i own of the hardcovers (for now). there is undeniable tension between these two i refuse to believe bryan lee o'malley wrote this without the intention of makinG it seem romantic. and as a friend once said "they two bad bitches n they kissin each other 🔥🔥🔥🔥"
NUMBER 8: ROSEMARY
iconic in every sense of the word these two are special to me. i have to include them here purely due to how influential they were it's awesome not much else to add here as this isn't one of the ships i'm severely brainrotted about i just think they're neat!

NUMBER 7: lumity!
i used to be biG into these two they're wonderful and it was Great seeinG somethinG like this on modern television. shoutout dressinG up and travelinG toGether (iykyk)

NUMBER 6: weblena
now we're GettinG into brainrot territory. the showrunners said somethinG alonG the lines of "webby won't Get a romantic interest because the show isn't about romance" and i Go "what the fuck are you talkinG about we already had a romantic subplot with her and lena that was clearly the point of all of that" there is a scene in season 1 where webby calls lena a "beautiful idiot" and then looks at her like this
TELL ME THAT ISN'T gAY! YOU CAN'T BECAUSE IT'S gAY AS SHIT THESE TWO ARE SO FRUITY TOgETHER DUCKTALES 2017 I LOVE YOU FOR EVERYTHINg BUT I WISH YOU ALLOWED THESE TWO TO HAPPEN
number 5: sashanne!
much can be said about this ship and the anGst behind it and all that. i'm huGe on sashannarcy as a whole and i considered addinG that ship to this list but i thouGht talkinG about the dynamics of the pairs would be more interestinG sashanne is a stronG case of missed potential to me, a lot could have been done to make their dynamic a lot more compellinG even more-so than it already is and a lot could have been chanGed about the way they handled sasha's "redemption arc" in season 3. season 3 as a whole is a mess that i have many opinions on but that's for another day. despite all the flaws and missed potential this ship still aches me in the best way possible. they were 13 years old at the time of amphibia and they had to deal with ALL OF THAT. at aGe 13 sasha elizabeth waybriGht attempted actual honest to God suicide due to a fiGht she had with anne while lean on me was playinG in the backGround and the world was forever chanGed. amphibia was so held back by so much and the amount of missed potential in it (especially in season 3) kills me but despite all of that this relationship shined throuGh as one of if not the best part of the show for many people. Good shit!


NUMBER 4: lapidot!
NOW WE'RE gETTINg TO THE gOOD SHIT how come even in media that has explicit queerness everywhere i always tend to Gravitate towards the dubiously canon clearly more than friends who were done dirty by their lack of screentime toGether? lapidot is a lot for so many reasons and i'm very much not alone in beinG abnormal about these two. IN FACT REBECCA SUgAR HERSELF DREW HUMANSTUCK ART OF THEM! AND THE OFFICIAL CARTOON NETWORK SOCIALS HAVE RECOgNIZED THIS SHIP MULTIPLE TIMES!! the way these two Grow to be comfortable around each other and learn to live in this new stranGe place toGether is so charminG and so Gut wrenchinG when you're rewatchinG the show and know what's cominG. in the episode where peridot learns to bubble stuff for the first time she sends the bubble off and when she asks steven where it'll Go he says "home" AND THEN IT CUTS TO LAPISSSSSS. SHE THINKS OF LAPIS AS HER HOMEEEEEEE DON'T EVEN FUCKINg gET ME STARTED ON DISTANT SHORE I ACTUALLY SOBBED SO FUCKINg HARD WHILE WATCHINg THAT SCENE IT'S UNREAL they were done so dirty with their reunion as well what do you mean all we Got was a "hey" I NEED TO SEE TEARS AS THEY MAKE OUT DAMN IT!! these two are imperfect and they stumble throuGh this whole life thinG a lot and there are many ups and downs to their relationship but that's what makes it compellinG that's what makes it so Good and damn it at the end they made it back to each other... if we ever Get more official su content and these two aren't canonized in it i will end up on the news

NUMBER 3: stephcass!
yea what did you expect of course this was Gonna be here these two are everythinG to me and every day that passes by where they aren't canon is a day i am in physical pain their dynamic throuGhout batGirl 2000 Gives me life and the anGst that comes from it is delicious the obvious queerbait in batGirls doesn't help this at all. they knew what they were doinG and you can't convince me otherwise these Girls and their relationship persevered despite all the editorial nonsense that tried to split them up and each time they came back stronGer than ever they have such undeniable chemistry and they're universally loved as a pairinG come on dc you would be actually stupid not to put them toGether come on everyone already clocked them like 2 decades aGo
NUMBER 2: junerezi!
dear lord this pairinG has had an affect on me. you really do Go into the epiloGues expectinG roxyGen and then end up on the other side screaminG and clawinG at the walls in the name of junerezi i was hooked on them before i even read meat! the little crumbs in candy were so dense and so impactful to me their dynamic is so incredibly fun to read and their scenes in meat are so painful and so powerful they are the reason i own the epiloGues physically i need beyond canon to be done already so i can see the end of this plotline throuGh i need them back toGether you don't understand june's death in meat while in terezi's arms actually made me feel numb irl for like a week i wish people would Give the epiloGues a chance because they're actually really damn Good and the junerezi is sooooo delicious i cry so hard i usidgfbuiydboguiszdghbfuijdsbvgfyihsdfobuijgbf[9usapigbvfuidjbsfuijdb
NUMBER 1: MARCANNE
spoiler warninG for amphibia
i don't talk about these two often on here, not as much as i'd like at least. but marcy wu as a character and this ship specifically literally chanGed me as a person. there is a reason i still call marcy my favorite character in fiction despite havinG read stories i consider to be much better than amphibia since. and this may sound stupid but i Genuinely do not know if i would be alive today were it not for marcy i started amphibia at a very rouGh time in my life and the character of marcy and the lenGths she went to for anne hit me so incredibly hard due to that imaGine with me for a second that you are 13 years old. a child Genius! everyone around you recoGnizes you as someone who will be incredibly successful later in life you have 2 people who are incredibly important to you. they mean everythinG to you you would Give the world for them and yet those two people cannot be bothered enouGh to enGaGe with you about your favorite movie or your interests in General

marcy Gave up her entire life back on earth just to be able to exist around anne and sasha. she had everythinG GoinG for her earth was her home she Got Good Grades her future looked briGht she was studyinG for the SAT from aGe 13 and earth was where all of her interests were. everythinG she knew. and she Gave that up for anne and sasha. do you know how deeply you have to care about someone to be willinG to do that? do you know how stronG your love for them has to be? cut to true colors. this episode ruined me i won't even Get into the confession scene. i have that scene memorized by heart and i start to tear up whenever i think of it i Genuinely don't think i can handle talkinG about it the stabbinG scene however.

once aGain i remind you this is a 13 year old. imaGine beinG 13 and usinG what you think may be your very last words ever to apoloGize to someone. someone you so deeply care about. you are dyinG in front of them and all you can think to say in that moment is sorry. because you believe they hate your Guts at that moment. could you imaGine GoinG throuGh that?
could you imaGine then wakinG up realizinG you're alive only to be Greeted by niGhtmarish hallucinations of your worst fear. and what's your worst fear in that moment? your friends hatinG you. them leavinG you behind after all that you went throuGh to stay close to them

the first thinG she said when she woke up was "sashy...? anne..??" SHE WAS DREAMINg OF THEMMMM
AND THEN WHEN SHE'S TAKEN OVER BY THE CORE HER FANTASY IS gETTINg TO EXPLORE NEW FANTASTICAL WORLDS ALONgSIDE ANNE AND SASHA!!! ALL SHE WANTS TO DO IS SPEND TIME WITH THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO HER this is quickly turninG into an essay about just marcy so let me try and Get into some of the more liGhthearted aspects every sinGle scene we see of marcy and anne throuGhout their time toGether in season 2 is the Gayest shit i've seen in my whole life. them sobbinG and huGGinG each other after beinG reunited... anne boopinG marcy and tappinG her on the head later in the episode.. anne tryinG to impress marcy by actinG smart... marcy STANDINg STILL IN ONE SPOT UNTIL THE SUN WENT DOWN IN A DAY AT THE AQUARIUM AFTER ANNE LEFT TO gO WITH THE PLANTARS. ANNE BLUSHINg AT MARCY'S INFODUMP IN NEW WARTWOOD. THEIR ANTICS IN THE SLEEPOVER EPISODE. THE PROCESS OF ANNE gETTINg HER NEW ARMOR AT THE END OF SEASON 2 AND THE WAY MARCY LOOKS AT HER AFTER SHE DECIDESSSS
as previously stated this ship is extremely influential to me and i would not be the same person today without it. i don't even know if i would be here today without it. so i would like to close this post off by sayinG thank you amphibia. thank you matt braly. and most of all thank you marcy wu <3 you are a treasure that i will cherish for the rest of my life nothinG will ever compare to you



#gwen thought dump#thanku for the ask jackie!! sorry for the insane amount of text#i Get passionate about my yuri's

BBB Butterfly is doing writing commissions
Hello Tumblr fam, friends and associates!
I am making my second attempt at writing commissions! Click the keep reading for all the details!
I'm making writing commissions for two reasons.
Reason #1: my uncle recently passed away and I'm learning as an adult how freaking expensive laying a person to rest is. He had life insurance, but it's not going to cover everything, especially the burial. And the remaining amount will be on my parents' shoulders since the rest of the family can't really help.
I just want to help my parents out in some ways, even if it's just using the money for everyday essentials in the house, like the bills or groceries.
Reason #2: I just finished my tutoring job for the school year. And I don't really plan to reapply for the next school year since it's a part time job and I need a full time budget to achieve my personal goals. Plus, I don't believe tutoring/teaching is for me. But even if I was to reapply, I will still be unemployed until the end of August. And the money I currently have isn't going to last forever.
My commissions are only fanfics this time, which I know will probably limit the amount of commissions I get. But I feel a little more comfortable writing fanfics at the moment than an original short story or poem.
The two fandoms I'm writing for are The Owl House and Steven Universe. I might add more fandoms to the list when I start writing more fics for different series.
What I'm willing to write: romance/romantic ships (happy ending or light angst) and non-romance fics (ex. a platonic or familial centered story)
Ratings: General Audiences to Teen (maybe Mature if it's an adult couple ship)
What I'm not comfortable writing: strong violence/death, explicit sex scenes (I will write suggestive and "fade to black" type of sex scenes but only for adult couple ships), no adult/minor ships
TOH ships I will not write: Luz/Hunter, Boscha/Willow, Amity/With a male character, Belos/With anybody
SU ships I will not write: Jasper/Lapis, Steven/Any of the gems
I may add other ships to the list depending on how (not) comfortable I feel about the idea of that particular ship.
Prices (may adjust at a later date):
1,000 words or less: $10
1,000 – 4,000: $15
4,000 + words: $20
$2 discount on my favorite ships (lumity, amillow, willuz, willumity, lapidot, connverse)
Payment source: Right now, PayPal, but I might use an alternative payment service like cash app or venmo later on.
It might take me some time to get started on these fics since there is a lot going on in my life right now. But I will get to them as soon as I can.
If you want to read my posted fics on AO3, here's the link:
Please send me a message if you are interested or have any questions! Again, please be patient with me since this is my second attempt.

Obligatory RWBY, Ruby, Weiss, for the ship ask meme, plus Lapis for spice
So this is long, and for my own sake, Ruby and Weiss share the fav pairing and poly ship... Also because they are the same pairings lmao. Look. I can't excuse myself. I'm very bland with my ships when it comes to RWBY. Lapis, on the other hand--
Ruby:
NOTP: Rosegarden... I can't like it :(
BROTP: Nuts and Dolts. I used to like it a lot in the early days, don't know why I stopped liking it in a romantic way.
OTP: Whiterose! Pretty obvious, huh? I love them. Mean girl turned into an slightly less mean girl through the power of a cute girl who wasn't fazed by her being an idiot and crashed through her walls with the strength of a truck to make her realize she had to become a better person.
Second choice: Ladybug. I think there's so much potential for them. Looks like she could kill you but is actually a cinammon roll, and looks like a cinammon roll and is one, but could also kill you.
Fluffy Pairing: I think Pyrrhuby goes here, no? It also could go on the Angst part. I could have saved you. I should have saved you. I wasn't able to save you. I was so young, and unexperienced and now the weight of your death accompanies me forever in my journey.
Angsty Pairing: Fallen Petalls. I love you but I hate you because you did this to me. But then the factor that Ruby HAD to do that to Cinder, because they are on different sides and I'm the good guy and you're the bad guy and we can't be together.
Fav Poly Ship: Pretty obvious... Pollination my beloved. I love it. The prospect of loving one another so much that they end up pulling a team STRQ and become their own family.
Weirdest Pairing: Okay. I don't know if it's weird... But I have at least two wips that I would love to finish about Fiery Pollination (RWBY + Cinder). Like. C'mere Cindy, join the polycule. We WILL fix you, there is no escape, asshole!
Weiss:
NOTP: Uh... I don't know? I guess Whiteknight in a romantic sense. Mostly because of FNDM influence.
BROTP: Whiteknight. Look. It works. Specially after they went to the movies with Oscar and all those memes about them passing Oscar as their kid to get a discount. It just works!
Second Choice: If it's not Whiterose, I love Freezerburn. In canon it's sooooo obvious that Weiss appreciates Yang a lot, and she's even learning her dumb and stupid jokes and using them. I love that Yang seems to be the only one to appreciate them lmao.
Fluffy Pairing: For some reason even tho I don't like ND, I think that Frozensteel is pretty cute. Woe! Cute Neurodivergent girls be upon ye, Schnee!
Angsty Pairing: Schneekos... She's dead! And then you almost died at the hands of the same person that killed her in an eerily similar fashion. Maybe if you had been there for her, maybe if you had joined Ruby at climbing Beacon's tower... What if's, what if's.
Weirdest Pairing: Cinder/Weiss. I'm not sure what it's ship name is, but I read ONE fic where Cinder flirted with Weiss and it hit a switch in my mind lmao. They are so intense, I can see them getting on each other's nerves so much lol.
Lapis:
NOTP: Ugh Steven/Lapis. People used to ship Steven with Lapis on the early days. I remember it happening because Lapis looked more like a kid at the beginning, but then it persisted. I hated it so much.
BROTP: Lapis and Amethyst. Depressed and Anxious girls team up!
OTP and Fluffy Pairing: LAPIDOT ALL THE WAY BABEYYYYY. I WAS THERE WHEN WE BEGAN SHIPPING THEM AS A JOKE BEFORE 'THE RETURN' AND 'JAIL BREAK' HAPPENED. I died when they began living together in the barn. I really wished they could have fused :(
Second Choice: Pearlapis. I began shipping it because of their aesthetics. Plus, Lapis is supposed to be a high-ranking gem, and thus could have gotten a Pearl based off her rank. So... AU where that Pearl is our Pearl? Wihihi.
Angsty Pairing: Jaspis. The toxic relationship... Like yes we feel so good together but we're so shit to each other. :(
Poly Ship: Jaspidot. I like it! I read some fics when I was younger where Jasper got Stevenized (pfft) and she decided to get better. She mends her relationship with Lapidot aaaand eventually gets together with them. They were cuuute.
Weirdest Pairing: Ah. 4-5 people Polycule... Lapidot + Garnet. Don't ask me why!

i want to drop more information about My Bizarre Roommate but I'm worried that I might accidentally spoil the story of it without meaning to. I will say this, I did mention in another post that mental health is kind of a theme in the story despite being a Lapidot fanfic. Mainly because I'm tired of Lapidot being used for romantic angst(lookingatacertaincomic*cough cough*) and I just rather have mental health/personal angst tbh because honestly with autism and multiple mental issues thats just relatable asf. But yee, I want to drop some information but I don't want to spoil anything because I want people to actually be interested in it.

okay time for some dotty backstory. if you've been on my blog for all this you get a veteran's discount.
i am mabel at heart, i love shipping and will ship any two characters. i don't care if it's a healthy, positive relationship or a fucking disaster, if i see an interesting story between two characters, i'm there for it. but the ones that i find most interesting, my otps...i have not had the most luck with. i bet on losing ships. from my plucky beginnings in the mlp fandom, to my horrid experience in the voltron fandom...the less i say about THAT the better.
a ship becoming Endgame is not very important to me, in fact i ship many things i'd never want to see in canon, but it hurts doubly so to be snubbed by canon, and be scrounging for table scraps and batting away hate anons in fan space.
there have been a few times i've shipped the fandom juggernaut, like wrightworth or komahina, but they already were long before i joined their respective fandoms. they didn't feel like they were mine. i was never a successful Early Investor.
i started shipping billford as a joke in my head summer 2015, before the last mabelcorn episode that actually showed their backstory, because i figured the author of the journals and the series' main antagonist would have had some history, and it seemed like it had more potential for a dark, interesting, adult story than billdip, the gf fandom's biggest pair. but i didn't expect anything from canon.
and then the last mabelcorn happened. and then the finale with the bondage shit and piano serenade. and the journal. each one was like a punch to the solar plexus in the best way. i NEVER thought we'd get so much bait. but like...it's not Real real, right? some people in fandom joked about it, but plenty others were vehement in hating it, and it was never the number one thing being talked about. i was quiet about my enjoyment of it, would like posts about it but not reblog, or reblog without tagging the ship name, because i was 16 and terrified of being Cringe. i drifted away from the fandom and found other interests. i raised my eyebrows a bit at some of the things alex hirsch was saying in the big 2023 fan interview about their relationship, but again...skepticles.
and then i was vindicated harder than i could have ever imagined with the new book. not only by all the canon romantic language used, the angst, the compelling depiction of abuse, but by the fandom. it's not just A ship, it is the ship, not just in gf fandom but across the website. it has topped the tumblr ship rankings for two weeks, only behind poolverine, a blockbuster mcu ship.


they used the divorce gif as the post footer. i must be in bill cipher's lotus eater machine. i am having such a fucking ball you can't even imagine.
the only comparable situation i can think of, where i was an almost-prophet, was when i started crackshipping amethyst and peridot steven universe shortly after s2 started, and then we got all that interaction between them. but ultimately, lapidot won over in the court of public opinion, albeit neither ship actually became canon.
this, to me, is like if amedot got a whole lore-heavy canon story about their relationship and became the number one ship in the whole SU fandom. my little joke ship has gone full rags-to-riches. this is my roman empire.
sorry i'm back in my 2015 triangle yaoi phase i will NOT shut up
#dottypost#dotty lore#ig i did also predict fukawa/komaru in danganronpa but again. nowhere near this level of popularity#anyway i may or may not be having a manic episode#meme me a river
