#i ship this bullshit

[dollya-robinprotector]

Well, y'know, something something about the patriarchal man gatekeep gaslight manipulative monopolizing confine the only pure light he ever sees - his innocent sister and the experienced old uncle who looks a bit careless and homeless but is actually very gentle and can only look at the prisoned songbird girl from far away…

Ye I'm normal about them I promise-

Is anyone gonna explain to people that ‘proship’ does not actually mean ‘problematic shipping’ or ‘problematic ship’ or are we just going to let this misinformation spread some more?

It means pro-shipping. The prefix pro, meaning ‘supporting.’ In favor of shipping.

It only became a defined position after anti-shippers who initially identified themselves as anti-a specific ship started harassing creators they didn’t like, doxxing them, and trying to get them fired from their irl jobs for shipping reasons around 2014-2016.

So people who had been in fandom for long enough to know where that kind of rhetoric leads (ffnet purges, LJ strikethru, as well as the direct harms caused by doxxing) observed this increasing trend of harassment and rallied to say ‘oh you lot are anti-shipping, as in opposed to certain ships? Well in that case, we are pro-shipping, because we follow the adage of ship and let ship.’

Before that point, it was just basic fandom etiquette to not bother people who ship stuff you don’t like, and to understand that if something squicks you out, it’s not the fault of the people who made it.

If someone says they are pro-ship, it means fuck all about what they actually enjoy in fiction.

It just means they’re opposed to harassing creators for making content that doesn’t cause tangible harm to real people. A better way to understand the ideological position is being anti-harassment and anti-censorship.

I have a lot of ships I find disgusting blacklisted so I don’t have to see them. But I am not interested in forcing people to comply with what I think is gross. That’s what it means.

Curate your online experience, and understand that your disgust response is not a defensible moral indicator or a justification to harass, deplatform, and dox fan writers.

i think we, as a society, moved on far too quickly from the fact that Alhaitham will canonically steal a sip of his friends' drink to see if he likes it or not

to be fair- this is rooted in speculation from his character demo, but it's also incredibly hard to refute unless you jump through a few mental hoops -> i.e.: saying that Alhaitham simply saw the bottle on the table {there wasn't one, and in which case why not just pour himself a cup from that?}

anyway-

this is probably a regular occurrence too considering the blatant LACK of a reaction from Cyno, Kaveh, or Tighnari

*at a mandatory Akademiya event or smth where there's a buffet table* Alhaitham, pointing at something on Cyno's plate: are those any good? Cyno, rotating his plate towards Alhaitham's hand on instinct: they're not bad, but not the best either. *Alhaitham simply hums around his 'stolen' treat*

*celebrating at Lambad's* Kaveh, pushing his drink into Alhaitham's hand: oh good, you're finally here! hold this, I have to go to the bathroom Alhaitham, taking a sip and immediately scrunching his nose: this is awful. Kaveh, scoffing: then don't order it

*Collei's birthday party* *Alhaitham reaches towards Tighnari's plate* Tighnari, straightening up but not moving his plate away: oh- you won't like those ones. try these *He points towards a slight variation of the snack and turns it towards Alhaitham*

I love how Grumbo is basically just Grian and Mumbo being weird about each other. Like weirdly attached???

Their bases are always v close, they have children together, Grian keeps being obsessed with Mumbo, even referencing him in random videos for no actual reason, they literally say stuff like "You have the perfect face", "I'm like Mumbo's needy girlfriend.", "Grian, you babe," the others' approval has been weirdly important since they got to know each other, they're literally chosen soulmates, and they can and will create a summoning circle if the other dissappear,

And that's just some random ass moments that I can remember rn, but God Damn these British men are weird about each other, and it's endlessly entertaining for me.

If you watched Top Gun (1986) and you think Tom Kazansky and Pete Mitchell are 100% straight then you are blind or you didn't watch the same movie as me because there's no way you can't see the chemistry between them and their UST.

I love how beautifully intertwined monster trio is. Zoro and Sanji being Luffy’s right and left eye, his upper and lower half (referring to fighting style), the defensive swordsman and the offensive cook.

The way the number 3 is a key concept in Zoro’s entire character and it fits for him to be a wing with Sanji.

Or how Luffy is the undeniable Sun, Zoro is the Earth (son of Roronoa Terra), and Sanji is the Sky ( son of Vinsmoke Sora).

Or even further, Luffy has his beautiful Sun God symbolism, Zoro has King of Hell, but what does Sanji have? Both of these represent immortal beings but what has Sanji always been? Human. What sits exactly in the middle of heaven and hell.

Hey, you guys wanna see a cursed ship?

I wonder how many of Tommy haters ever experienced racism. My guess is a very small part of them because let me tell you one thing: you don't spend after work time with your racist coworker on your own. EVER. You don't share stories and jokes with them. EVER. You know the mental cost of spending time with a racist when you're a poc? No you don't. And you think Hen and Chim would choose to spend their free time with a racist instead of anyone else? Instead of going home? No one forced them, and there's no one else. They decided to have drinks together because Tommy changed and they want to support change.

You can call out his past behavior, absolutely, and I did it myself because it needs to be done. You know what needs to be done too? Acknowledge positive change. It's crucial to see and support change. Change is what makes the world better, little by little. But you wouldn't know if you're not a poc, right? How does it feel to be a white knight trying to get some "good ally" points from the poc you use for you hate campaign? All that for a fucking ship? Is it worth it? Do you have your ship canon now?

But please, educate me on racism and how Hen and Chim acted in S2, apparently forced (by who?) to spend their free time with Tommy.

Fandom these days is wild.

I remember how Jaydick used to be the go to vanilla, childhood-crush-to-lovers soft ship for young, first time shippers that wanted something simple and completely unproblematic.

Now going by the general consensus if you ship Jaydick you're a fucking freak of nature and you should repent or burn in hell.
