Are there any (of course legal) ships you DONT fw?????

i'm not that picky but there's a few i don't fw particularly

enatoya, toya x tenma (thought i'd include it here, since i don't think they're illegal like the other sibs ships), i guess kanamafu counts too? i mean i've drawn them once i just can't say i'd do it again, ena / tsukasa x any vbs members, and i think minori x any of the guys

again there's nothing wrong with shipping i just don't find these my cup of tea. they're cute but they're not for me ^^

school spirits was so funny for doing a plot in one episode about how mad two of maddies friends were that she didn't tell them simon could see her & having it be resolved w maddie saying "i'm sorry i kept it a secret, i'll never do it again & i'll tell all the other ghosts right away" only for the ghosts to be like "well, hang on a minute. i know we were pissed you kept it from us, but maybe lying really is the answer here. just don't do it to me"

Memories

After years of working together, the rivalry turns into something deeper, but suddenly Killer dies. To save his lover, Cross overwrites their timeline.

He doesn't know that Killer tries to load the latest save file at the same time thanks to his determination, but overwriting erases everything.

Due to the damage, they both lose their memories and start from the beginning, driven by a weird sense of loss — and the need to find someone.

Thoughts on queerplatonic Zoro/Nami?

!!!!!!!!!!! I love them. I think I have said this quite a lot already but the dynamic between Zoro and Nami is so interesting and sweet to me.

Something about Nami being seemingly weak but showing she has been through a lot and being one of the strongest members of the crew and Zoro acknowledging that and admiring her for that but protecting her every time she needs help because he knows what she's capable of. Nami knowing Zoro carries a burden all by himself and trying to help even though he doesn't want her to because that's just how they work.

Their personalties clash a lot but they understand each other so well when needed and share the bond of being the first crew members to join Luffy!!! They act like they can't stand each other but actually they share such a deep bond and love,,,, It's insane. Gay/Lesbian but you never know if it's solidarity or hostility, they're just there supporting each other and sometimes yelling at each other too.

Since I'm a multishipper I love lots of ships within the crew I believe that a lot of them are just in a poly relationship, but Nami and Zoro have always been the ones on each corner of the polycule because I don't consider their dynamic to be romantic at all, but it is deeper than just a simple friendship. So QPR Zonami is more than welcome in my headcanons because they're just that sweet.

okay, so i just finished re-reading Any Way the Wind Blows and this feels so blatant as to be smacking me in the face: simon is disabled.

now, the reason why that makes itself even clearer in this book than in wayward son (where he, of course, also has the wings + tail) is because simon is once again in the world of mages - despite doing his best to leave it behind. compared to wayward son, where hes basically and literally in the wild west. where theres magical beings everywhere, where simon practically fits in because he is one.

but ill get back to that.

ive seen a lot of really interesting points about what simon's wings represent and mean, and i'm not disagreeing with those. but in a very literal sense, they are a disability.

think about it like this: the world of mages (and Normals) is not built for humanoids who have giant webbed wings and a tail. simon constantly struggles with controlling these limbs, and their size makes it ten times harder. spaces are too small, furniture and objects are broken when he spreads them, and many a shirt or jacket are ruined.

he struggles to find a good way to deal with this - spell them away? wear them out by cutting holes in things? fold them extremely painfully into his shirt? even though this last one is treated like a solution for a little while, its far from ideal. who is simon doing this for? himself, or everyone around him? yes, of course Normals cant see them. and yeah, hes expressed discomfort about baz and penny spelling them hidden. but thats not the point. even with this botch job of a way to "wear" his wings, which succeeds at hiding them from Normals, simon still states a couple times that he knows people stare at him and his seeming hunchback. i mean, thats blatant.

(he eventually, with shepard's help, realizes a good way to work around this - zippers or buckles on shirtbacks - which very much feels like an aha! disability aid moment)

im not saying disability is based in how people look at you, or it only being a societal thing. (as in, when he wasnt in the world of mages, he wasnt suddenly 'not disabled at all') disability is a huge spectrum. but those things absolutely can be a part of the disabled experience.

but all of that doesnt even get to my main point: simon has no magic anymore. and in the world of mages, thats a huge deal. magic is like living and breathing, especially for baz and penny. its not something they question or have to worry about not being able to call upon. hell, even before simon lost his magic he was disabled, just to a different extent.

before awtwb, we dont hear much about mages whose magic is weak. but they come to the forefront now - which just solidifies that solid magical ability = able bodiedness.

smith is promising a miracle cure. a cure. think of it like bullshit orgs such as aut!sm spe@ks, wanting to "cure" autism - he wants to cure people. (and hes just as full of shit) why? because weak magic is seen as a disease, a problem, even subhuman.

take daphne, baz's stepmom. her quality of life is fine, great. her weaker magic doesnt seem to put her at a disadvantage. she manages her disability well. but in comparison to the norm, to what is expected of the average mage, shes got nothing. less than nothing. she feels shame over what she cant do.

smith's case becomes even more blatant when we see, at the end of awtwb, that he wants to essentially cull weak magicians. that they're holding back society. that theyre better off as powerless as Normals - who are blatantly seen as subhuman - than as weak mages. much like how ableist rhetoric puts forward that disability is a fate worse than death.

which brings us back to simon. he insists hes a Normal, now or always has been. baz insists hes the most powerful magician to exist. both of them are wrong.

and right. and right and wrong.

simon is some third thing - not a mage, not a Normal. akin to how disability is its own minority aside from race or ethnicity he has a foot in each world, and he always has. but now he cant achieve blending into either.

this is why the increasing presence and humanization of other magical beings beside mages is so important (thank you shephard!) how mages tend to seem magical beings is very ableist. theyre subhuman, theyre not to be trusted, theyre freaks, theyre dirty, etc. except oops, how can you keep thinking that penny, when this very nice one works at a cafe and helped you translate shephard's engagement terms?

even baz and the events of wayward son play into this - yeah, some vampires are horrible people. but plenty, like baz, are just people. with a range of experiences and morals and ways of living life. (take nicodemus) (i could make a point about how simon's stalwart acceptance of baz's vampirism helps baz comes to terms with it and how this is also super disability coded, but thats another essay)

in the beginning of awtwb, he decides to go to the extreme opposite of his chosen one powered life - to live as a Normal, and the second step (after cutting himself off from baz and penny) is getting his wings removed.

except he cant do it. and even having his wings touched is horribly uncomfortable. now, this partly has to do with how much theyre sensual parts of his body - same as his tail. but its also, separately, very intimate. theyre treated very clinically, like a fascinating specimen to pore over. im not trying to give niamh shit here, just saying what i saw.

but theyre part of him. people with disabilities often deal with being stared at and poked and prodded by the medical field (if theyre not ignored or waved off. maybe both.). even every day folks feel the right to touch disabled folks, or their mobility aids.

for a lot of people, mobility aids are a part of them - its like a stranger touching your face and thinking theyre doing you a favor. when instead theyre being weird as fuck.

simon's status as previous chosen one even plays into this sort of thing - people see him more as a figurehead, for what he can and cant do (including his wings!) than a person. hes a tragedy, hes a hero. hes inspirational, hes to be pitied. sound familiar?

the end of awtwb doesnt spell out whether simon ends up deciding to keep his wings (frustratingly). but they spell out that he would absolutely would, in my opinion.

simon increasingly treats them as a natural extension of his body. think of the scene where he flies about the watford goats. how he expresses his feelings with his wings and tail. and of course, how he learns to let baz loves each and every part of him: including his dragon limbs.

baz loves him, and loves them, not in a fetishistic way, but because its simon, and he loves everything simon is. not just what he represents or can or cant do.

Out of queue and definitely rambly but MAN

Ok last reblog (I’m on mobile so too lazy to add links) mentioned Solarpunk being more about settling down in a location whereas Lunarpunk is more nomadic and traveling on the water and such and

I

Got

A

Image in my head

Of a romance story. Or coming of age. Or both?

Of someone living in a solarpunk community along the shore, and someone living in a lunarpunk ocean nomadic community that stops by that shore and stays for a few days/weeks every time they come around. There’s always gardens and extra seats kept in storage for when they come around, warm beds to stay in, etc.

And these two people over time become close friends and maybe even fall for each other? But on top of the song and dance of ‘do I tell them, how to tell them, etc’ they have to also grapple with the fact that one of them stays put and the other is nomadic and their group only swings by once or twice a year on average (for a few weeks each but still)

And they gotta decide (once they finally confess to each other) what they’re gonna do. One person would miss home if they left with the nomads and their family and friends, and one person would miss traveling the seas and THEIR friends and family if they stayed put.

Idk if the solution would be to stay some years and travel others or what but thats ‘not 3am Ani’ to consider

Idk if this makes sense idk if this’ll seem like a good story idea and I SUCK ASS At writing romances (or having them hahaha *crying sounds*) but like

Yeah thats my braincell rn

are we able to take inspiration from some of your art? asking bcuz your half spider elf fighter guy looks pretty cool and my friend wants me to draw them something similar (ofc not a direct copy)

I'm always happy for folk to take insporation from my work!

[ratatatastic]

hey remember the sandal shoey sasha and luosty did?

well heres another angle of it and yeah unsurprisingly, like anyone could guess if they have the capacity to rub two braincells together, was in fact luosty who prepares it and explains why he enthusiastically joined in lmaooooooo

heres luosty preparing a beer cup dunk not even a good 10 seconds earlier and not bothering to help mikksy with it. hes here for one (1) thing and one (1) alone!! and thats not doing any work at all!!!!

at least lundy helps mikksy tip the cup over luosty didnt even try which is so funny considering mikksy already has so much trouble lifting the cup by himself he almost falls over several times or hits several people in the head with it like luosty sweety dont let him do it by himself hes not strong enough for that this is a hazard 😭😭😭

NOT LETTING GO FOR A SINGLE SECOND!!!
