Jayden/Antonio

G: Goofy / Y: Yearning

Awww yes yes!

G: Goofy

Despite the tendency to make a million gold puns a second, Antonio is actually very serious during sex. Be it taking ot giving, Antonio is soft and kind and in the moment. He did at one point try making puns, but it didn't feet right

Jayden, like in everything else, takes sex very seriously. He's very calm, cool, and collected about it. If he isn't, Jayden is kind of afraid he'll break in the face of such softness

Y: Yearning

Oh baby, are these boys ready and raring to go at all times. They're in their twenties, they're both born at all times. The amount of times Jayden has to drag Antonio back to bed because Antonio is THIS close to doing something he can't take back is frankly phenomenal. Antonio doesn't mind though, he's all for a good quickie

Thank you! @estel-eruantien

Rarepair: Tyler and Enid

If Enid interested me more, I'd be shouting all about it because they mirror each other a lot and I'm a sucker for shipping narrative foils. Alas, Enid does not interest me as much so I have not. That said, they are a good pair and I like seeing them interact. I just have more fun exploring their dynamic as the boyfriend and the girlfriend's best friend who hates the boyfriend but has to play nice because girl code. Ironically, she also hates him because girl code. It's very fun for me, this dynamic.

ok so ive seen 2 episodes and if i'm getting the vibe right, good omens season 2 is basically just a fanfic on screen? idk how it ends but it better fucking be best friends to lovers

or you know. some MORE queerbaiting, whatever. i'm used to that 🙃🙃

I CAN NOT BELIEVE that in the year of our lord 2023 Tessa Thompson and Brie Larson are FINALLY allowed to have their characters be a little fruity together!!! I remember being on the front lines fighting for Carol/Valkyrie!!!! They were championing the cause!!!!!!! And now they are FINALLY interacting I'm gonna cry

so a thing this fandom does that remains FASCINATING to me, as a function of the fact a lot of this fandom is people's first fandom or only current fandom, is just... assume a lot of things it does is a scourge that this fandom has invented or doesn't exist outside of it? or like, is uniquely bad here? and i won't deny that sometimes mcyt fandom is a bit more intense by virtue of numbers, but like...

duo names: confusing fandom-injokes to describe duos and groups tend to be an anime fandom thing specifically for many historical reasons, but they're not uncommon. hey quick--if you haven't been in KHR fandom, can you guess what 1827 is? no? i'll give you a hint: that's actually a ship name. or, ygo fans, tell me the difference between puppyshipping, prideshipping, violetshipping, and rivalshipping. my hint is that they're all kaiba ships and two of them are actually the same ship. good luck!

reducing characters to a specific trait: have you read fic in another fandom before? i would recommend you go do so and come back to me. my example here is "sasuke likes tomatoes", for the record.

common au fanon that's confusing to outsiders: my deep cut here is "when i got into certain tv fandoms i was baffled by the existence of sentinel/guide fics", which is a slightly older tv fandom thing so many of you probably don't know what i'm on about. but trust me: in certain fandoms it's ubiquitous and unless you've watched a completely different tv show you're gonna have to entirely pick it up from reading fic. oh hey, hybrid aus and watcher!grian, nice to see your relative here,

fanon being treated as canon: did you know there's this whole bnha character, naomasa, who is treated as canonically having a lie detector quirk? did you know that, best i can tell, that's not in canon anywhere, it just got echoed through fanon enough that everyone treated it as canon? 'fanon trait becomes so ubiquitous everyone assumes it has to be there' is not a new thing. also, batfamily fans, i have been lead to understand the tim and coffee thing is also this.

characters being treated badly to make a different dynamic look better: the fact we have the term 'character bashing' tells you all you need to know, here. if anything my one complaint on this front isn't even that it's happening--it's that i wish bashing and/or "not [character] friendly" was tagged a little more frequently, haha.

characters being reduced to their family dynamics: tale as old as time. "even the family dynamic thing" yes even that. just because this fandom tended to be particularly ship-adverse in the past didn't mean it didn't do basically the same behaviors as any fandom with shipping did with those dynamics, just gen. and other gen fandoms also do that. yes, down to the "and shipping reduces them to a ship, unlike my gen dynamic, which is very in-character; why can't people just be friends?" thing. some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

characters being reduced to their ships: some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

The Discourse: yeah this is an "actively running show" fandom thing, but also a hiatus fandom thing. ask a homestuck about vriskourse sometime. as much as i hate to say it, it probably made doomsday discourse look cute.

and those are just like... some things i've seen people complain about on my dash recently. idk it just hit me there are probably fans in mcyt fandoms who are assuming that some things (like hybrid aus or duo names) are the kind of things that only happen here, so i thought i'd offer some examples of other places they happen! i also have even more examples if you'd like.

to be clear: this isn't shaming anyone for complaining about any of these things. lord knows i go complain to my friends about it all the time, just the other day i was complaining in the category of 'they keep bashing my guy'. it's more of just... a gentle reminder that maybe we're big, maybe we're loud, maybe we have problems... but these problems aren't always unique.

so uh. we're all suffering together i guess...?

(Never too late for a) SVTFOE Hot Take

I actually think you could have vastly improved the narrative if this guy was Eclipsa's monster husband instead of Globgor.

EDIT (23/08/23): I probably should have put this upfront but if Toffee was Eclipsa's monster-man instead, let me be absolutely clear that

I WOULD HAVE USED THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO GIVE TOFFEE A SYMPATHETIC BACKSTORY AND REDEMPTION ARC INSTEAD OF BEING JUST PLAIN EVIL LIKE A LAZY WRITER.

my first post on my new tumblr blog, let's GOOOO

[dimdiamond]

The most insane but at the same time my favourite thing about the ships in Dungeon Meshi is that you don't really have so much content in the majority of the manga UNTIL you reach certain later chapters and THEN all the little things between the characters before and after these chapters get a different light and you can't UNSEE the ship.

And that's why, dear friends who haven't read/finished the manga, when you see fans obsessed with dunmeshi ships you don't get how real the madness is here.

Oh god that was such a soft period of my life Ccino and Nightmare became a special alternative pairing that has a very dear place in my heart
