Ah yes I sure do love shipping ships hated by the fandom who has no fandom etiquette or whatever and clog out the tags w hate and nothing but hate to the point I can't see any content🤪🤪🥰🥰

[s-ephiroth]

not to start anything mean intended because i'm not that kind of person, but

i can't for the life of me understand people who claim to be sephiroth fans/have sephiroth based ships and go on and slap a capitalized "proship dni" somewhere in their bios/profiles

never understood this and never will, (for reasons i shall elaborate below) though i may get the potential reasons for it and just... it absolutely baffles me how misused the term proship is

that word literally means "in favor of shipping", that's what the "pro" part of the word is for. it doesn't mean you have to necessarily ship every ship that exists ever (that would be 1. insane and 2. not very feasible), just that you understand people will have different ships, you respect that others' preferences exist and mind your lane

it is basic fandom etiquette, it's literally old school "your kink is not my kink and that's ok". it's blocking folks with ships you dislike (notp) instead of trying to regulate what people do with narrative tools (characters) in a fictional space

sometimes other people are eating shrimp and you're allergic to shrimp. it doesn't mean the other people are immoral for eating shrimp

some people use proship to mean "problematic ship" (aka ships with dark thematics that wouldn't be ok irl) when 1. it doesn't mean that, and 2. you can dislike a thing without misusing a word

no, someone who's proshipper won't force you to ship their ship you may dislike, if you're wondering. that's not what the word implies at all

enter sephiroth

oh, you know him. sephiroth who took part in a genocide when young. sephiroth who took part in a war and very likely killed people. sephiroth who got betrayed by humanity so much that he chooses to torch down a small village and choose to become cosmic horror instead and haunt a twink

this is not a wholesome character!

like, i do believe that sephiroth has the potential to be cute/do good/work well as a slice of life protagonist if you frame him just right, but by canon definition, where he goes, someone dies

he's not fully good and not fully evil, he's a morally grey character reacting to the only life he knows and having multiple instances of terrible decisions. he's a victim as much as he's propagating evil

he's a very complex character and loving his character is understanding that not all that does or that happens to him is ideal. and that's ok, his very birth/conception alone is full of dark/taboo themes

and see, here's what i don't get: people who use "proship dni" in their bios, aside from the obvious performative flavor to that, (it's the internet! a sign won't stop people who are particularly mean!!) presumably don't want to interact with one or more of the following:

- people who ship anything in general (if going by the literal definition of the word)

- people who ship anything with dark/"problematic" thematics (by going by the misconception of the word meaning "problematic ship")

- people with a different ship that would be a notp or people who aren't into yumeshipping (oc/self insert x canon) (i'm not gonna get into my horror stories from twitter about this one but it exists, i was attacked once for trying to run a sc event)

if it's for the first reason, fair, but why only list one side of the discourse instead of just putting you're not into shipping? it feels like trying to bait people into a fight

the second is the one that baffles me the most. any ship you put sephiroth in has potential to have dark thematics, because sephiroth, as a shipping component, brings all these dark themes into it. unless you're redoing his whole life from scratch, he'll still have the history of having killed people, having fought a war, having been experimented on from pre-birth, etc. and if you have to redo this character's whole life to avoid dealing with his thematics entirely... do you even like him at all? are people who enjoy dark thematics forbidden from engaging with potentially wholesome thematics as well?

and the third is just hypocritical pettiness, really. you're not morally superior for shipping sephiroth with yourself or your oc or a different character that you prefer over some other character. sephiroth is still sephiroth, regardless of who he's with. he'll still do sephiroth things, whether positive or negative. you can dislike other ships without being morally performative about things. you can have notps!! you can dislike a ship for hitting you with the wrong vibes or because you like that other ship better

but in the end it all just boils down to it having the same vibes as antis using ao3: you're making use of the most proship thing out there is and saying proshippers shouldn't interact with you

i don't get it

oops another oc :: hayley campbell in "suburban legends" ( stranger things season 2 - season 5 )

Everyone agreed Hayley Campbell was a star. The sweetheart of Hawkins, Indiana they called her, with a voice like sugarcane to match. It wasn't long before she'd started her own band, The Hawkins Five, playing at local football games and even getting a regular gig at the Hideout. It's there Hayley meets Eddie Munson, her first true friend after her cousin Nancy ditched her for Barb Holland freshman year. But soon, Hayley's charming demeanor and seemingly flawless life take on a mind of its own, propelling her into the throngs of popularity with the likes of Steve Harrington of all people. And as she heads into her sophomore year, she has the looks, charm, and grades to match the new heights she's taking herself to. To the rest of the world, Hayley Campbell had it all, but behind closed doors, her family struggles with the new spotlight that's been thrust upon them, and when a fight between Laura and David Campbell sends the former running out the door on an innocuous Sunday night, everything changes. The disappearance of Will Byers send the town into a madness not seen in 30 years, and with it the lives of Hayley, her friends, and her family turn Upside Down.

literally why would marvel introduce jude law in captain marvel via a shirtless scene in his bedroom (instead of a fully clothed scene of him teaching children) if they didn't want me to think about yon and vers fucking??? and then follow up that slutty shirtless scene with them doing a vigorous, practically intimate physical activity together???? marvel was on their knees absolutely begging me to write the fic

Okay, and Mary and Henry are divorced now, right?

Song Prompt: Flight Risk by Tommy Lefroy

He's drooling a little on the pillow. Maybe it should be endearing.

Outside, it's cold. The hoarfrost is thick on the windows, maybe the door handles too. She's palmed her car keys already.

She's pretty sure he's asleep.

She takes a breath. She can do this. The creaky floorboards, the rusty hinges, it's just like being twelve, or maybe seventeen again.

She's got her jacket zipped up, the red, battered leather too thin for the wind she can feel through the cracks in the seal on the door. The bug's going to need a few minutes. Or maybe longer. She hopes not.

She doesn't think she can be there, not when he fumbles awake. Not when he's come to expect it.

And maybe that's the worst of it: the corner of his mouth, the way that he will stop to touch her face. The way he looks, a little more disheveled in the morning.

It makes her want to run, his hopeful eyes, the smile he's got when they are curled together, sweaty in the tangled sheets. It's almost like she's drowning in his patience.

It's just outside, the car. She doesn't need to turn around and stay. She doesn't need to curl into his shoulder.

seeing a fantastic artist you admire and you find out that they are miserable and hateful and obstinate 😔

td3 Adam Parrish 🤝 s5 Elena Gilbert: trying to break up with their boyfriend for an entire summer before college, finally breaking up in college then going back to him two seconds later. This is just what being a Cancer sun is like.

I love how sadistic, mean, creepy, trollish law seems to just have this absolute love for luffy things that overrides all else. Like I mean he’s had that fluffy had since he was a kid, wears those fluffy necked/lines clothing on multiple occasions, fluffy father figure in cora, his navigator who he is super protective over is mega fluffy and gets special cuddle privileges with mr trafalagar ‘don’t touch me I’ll stab you’ law. It’s just so amusing to me

i bristled like a sprayed cat at that first typo lmfao

YES. its great. he is all that terribleness (i say appreciatively) but he is also a enjoyer of finest things in life like fluffs

dude freaking kikoku has a furry white guard trim that matches his hat and his wife.

You know you can actively dislike a ship without making a clown of yourself in the ship tags by claiming the fans are delusional for seeing it as romantic when the source material is THIS.
