#ship rambling

[vinnyandthephenomena]

i like to think of jam as such a “would you love me in another universe” type of relationship. or what could’ve been? that’s what feels so tragic to me. like - jay could’ve been the only other somewhat close relationship tim had in his life other than brian. or if they had met under different circumstances, would it have been healthier? or even how jay felt? he said it himself he wasn’t exactly doing anything pre-mh. hmm. he felt less alone; but i can only wonder how else it could’ve gone if they were close in another scenario. or ; if they could’ve met in a less depressing part of their lives. they are like a book with the last pages ripped out!

Does anyone else ever think it’s really funny how the relative popularity of Schneewood Forest, Invisibird and Hellbore implies a love-triangle where Robyn and May are fighting over WINTER?

I had a relevation for my multishipper mind!! Since I have been neglecting my thoughts on Astrid/Krogan and Heather/Krogan since I’ve thought Krogan is more attracted to men, I had the relevation is that his type is people who are paitent, but who will also not put up with his shit. Or anyone else’s for that matter. Which includes Astrid and Heather.

I might work on some Heathgan soon… tbh. Idk when but I will try to. If you wanna send me ideas feel free to do so. Heather x Krogan was actually one of my very first romantic pairings in this fandoms so I do kinda wanna do something special for them.

I headcanon Krogan as intersex now too so that opens up more ideas for me… because not only can they bond over sweet little nothings like enemies to lovers, but it can start with Krogan revealing the fact that he is both genders to her and her being open and welcoming to him so!!

@serrantsaloto (I think it was you that mentioned you liked Heather x Krogan so eeee I might have someone to talk to this about instead of yelling into the void)

Anyone else have bunch of oc x oc ships among your ocs with your ocs. Did that make sense? I have a few like my professors Johnathan and Snake are dating..but i never post anything about it cause feels weird to talk about and who wants to see Snake being a simp for his boyfriend lol.

I like to keep all my ocs open for interactions/ships with others ocs so i feel these inner oc ships of mine would make ppl think they not available. >_<

[sapphic-suchoripterus]

Idk if I've talked about this but idc

whoever saw both Tenko and Rantaro and decided they were both cishet and dating... why?

how do you look at either of them and think "yeah these two are straight and cis"

Like what

I could understand shipping them if you made one or both of them enby but I never see that

It feels weird cause like, if Rantaro were like enby or transfem then I could see it but nope, people that ship it just make them cis and str8 and I cant understand it

"i want more media with zero drama, no tension, and zero problematic characters and i am not joking"

Great! Here are my recommendations:

[ramblesamongstardust]

I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?

[oobbbear]

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

[teslacoils-and-hubris]

*gore and body parts everywhere, just absolutely drenched in blood* yeah I'm being normal about people misinterpreting a fictional character whom I enjoy a normal amount

[gas-station-chai]

I ship them but in a "definitely on their 3rd divorce" way

[anthurak]

Underrated (or at least underutilized) ship dynamic:

Villainess-bully-meangirl/bestfriend-minion-girl-clearly-gay-for-her-boss that ISN’T actually abusive/manipulative/toxic, or at least decently functional. Like Minion-Girl turns out to be that ONE person whom Mean-Girl actually likes and is unequivocally nice to and even loves back. WITHOUT any big ‘I only saw you as a tool’ reveal or ‘tossing her aside when it’s convenient’ moments.

And if they aren’t already together, then how about them getting together doesn’t result in any ‘love-redeems’ bullshit? Maybe instead it goes the other way and Mean Girl ends up enabling Minion Girl’s villain arc?

I wish she had more scenes... Whateva

the post: everything has a right to exist in fiction, even if it's fucked up

the comments: i was going to reblog this until i realized op likes fucked up stuff in fiction. this is a common dogwhistle phrase for people who like fucked up stuff in fiction. they have to talk in code to trick people into agreeing with them. stay safe out there!
