#tagged so i don't upset any shippers
Text
Man, every time I start to think Sheldon and Amy are cute on screen, the show goes and shows me why Amy would be happier finding someone more on her level. Sheldon too would be happier had he never gotten tangled up in feelings but at least it makes sense for his character to fight such things. I guess it make sense for Amy to cling in a relationship, as we see with Penny (and the shows utter cowardice in not making Amy -and Raj- bisexual is just a crime!), but a guy being a maybe-sorta-boyfriend is no reason to decide he's the best you can do and cling to him. I love Amy, but she needs wake up and realize that Sheldon's not gonna be what she wants or needs.
I suppose it's growth for Sheldon to admit he wants and needs people in his life. I just don't think they should've gone there with him and Amy. Leave them as just friends and let Amy explore her sexuality with other guys (and girls!) while Sheldon looks on and starts to wonder about his own capabilities in developing a pair bond. The show could then bring him attempting to date or leave him to his strongly aromantic coded self who wants companionship in the forms of strong friendships.
But yeah, the only couple I find I'm actually enjoying and seeing as a good decision is Howard/Bernadette.
#dont even get me started on the lost opportunity of Amy/himbos#the shows most bit of wasted potential#sheldon cooper#amy farrah fowler#anti shamy#tagged so i don't upset any shippers#ship and let ship#but its not for me#i still think they have some wonderfully cute moments#but mostly i'm sitting there thinking they both deserve better#tbbt#the big bang theory

the day osc tumblr stops fighting over tacomic is the day we all heal [adding my personal opinion in the tags]
#tacomic neg#adding the tags so the people im talking about can see this and actually digest it with their eyeballs#its just so tiring#why do u guys care about ship discourse so much for ships that aren't even bad or hurting anyone#please just look away and stop complaining and being unnecessarily mean to people who are doing nothing wrong#i've never seen any actual tacomic shippers MAKE them abusive or toxic or belittle other ships and be so hostile towards them#also it'll make you much happier instead of making you pointlessly mad all the time if u just stop caring#i think people should just stop fighting each other cause it gets nowhere and just makes both parties mad and upset for no reason#but the osc thrives off of negativity and infighting for some reason idk why im even saying this. im not surprised this is happening.#its been like this ever since i joined. don't you guys ever take a break instead of being so negative all the time?#its also hypocritical for reasons i've said before but i don't feel like starting anything up

a truly terrible idea has latched hold of my gremlin brain which is, buck and tommy do break up so that buck can pursue eddie because either tommy thinks buck is in love with eddie or buck feels like he should be with eddie because everyone else keeps suggesting there's something more there BUT buck/eddie getting together changes their dynamic so much that neither of them are enjoying themselves (and they're worrying about losing what made their friendship so special because of all the changes to the dynamic) AND buck and tommy keep hooking up [air quotes] platonically (with tommy stumbling into inconvenient feelings and pining pathetically for buck while fucking him) while buck struggles to sort out intense feelings toward eddie (which obviously have to be romantic of course) vs. his calm, more settled feelings toward tommy (they're not as intense as his feelings about eddie so they can't possibly be romantic) blah blah long story slightly less long but buck realizes he's been in love with tommy the whole time and was having trouble separating strong but platonic feelings for eddie from his romantic feelings toward tommy and then tommy's like "newsflash asshole i've been in love with you the whole goddamn time"
i'll never write it because it's irredeemably stupid and i value my peace but it IS sitting in my hindbrain tormenting me right now
#thank you for coming to my ted talk#i'm not tagging this bc i don't want it showing up in any show or ship tags but...............................#terrible evil plotbunny free to a good home#nobody ever writes about the friends who get together bc 'why not everyone else already thinks we're dating' and then it doesn't work out#because the dynamic changes SO MUCH that you're not sure if it was such a good idea in the first place#now add a third person to the mix that you like but aren't sure how you feel about them#not sure if eddie would be aware it's casual and non exclusive or if there'd be miscommunication leading to angst#honestly this is just me venting my frustrations with those breakup fics masqueraring as b*cktommy that have tommy#graciously sacrificing himself on the altar of b*ddie's true love and stepping aside magnanimously#that's not interesting to me to read even as a b*ddie shipper#if buck and tommy have to break up let it be real and messy because real people are real and messy#let tommy fight for buck even if it doesn't end up working out#let buck and eddie feel guilty because buck did genuinely care about tommy and eddie does like him as a friend#let tommy cut both of them off because even though he likes both of them he still has feelings and it hurts seeing them together#let tommy be petty about showing off a new love interest or fwb and how much happier he is with this guy than he was with buck#let buck wonder if he made the right choice or not bc he didn't ever want to hurt tommy#he only convinced himself tommy would be completely fine with the breakup because he needed him to be fine so that he could do it guilt fre#let eddie wonder if they made the right choice or not bc while he finally has what he's wanted for years it did hurt someone he really like#maybe it'll all work out in the end for buck and eddie AND tommy but i just want it to feel real and not overly polished and sanitized#and no one is hurt or upset or petty or flawed#anyway#i like mess#don't @ me#i might have to write this now but i don't want to be chased off with pitchforks and torches#text#shut up giallos

okay okay so im watching woh right, and there were two scenes where characters lost their guan (the headpiece men are seen wearing). and it got me thinking about the md/zs donghua and that scene on the pier where lawnji knocks off jc's guan (in front of his ancestral hall too btw)
gao chong lost his during an altercation while he was being accused of crimes (which he was innocent of) and then wen kexing removed zhuo jing's guan after accusing him of the crimes he committed. furthermore, removing a guan is essentially saying that person is unworthy, that they are criminal and unfit to rule etc etc.
also from historical kdramas i watched, the noblemen who are punished for the crimes they committed are stripped of everything and have their hair let down, and its the same wrt to historical cdramas too.
so, for the donghua team to have lwj remove jc's guan in the finale (and also lets his hair come loose), which never happens in the novel mind you, there really isn't any good faith interpretation of that scene. its very clear what the donghua team wants us to think abt jc's character, and considering the only "crime" jc commits is.... being "against" wwx... it wasn't justified in the slightest.
you could see it as if he did it unintentionally but from how everything was set up, from how lwj looked at jc, how he spoke, I'm not giving no benefit of a doubt. it rly just makes wwx and lwj's characters look even worse than they did in the novel. not even jgy or wrh or wc got that level of disrespect and they were the actual VILLIANS. i find it insane jc got such abhorrent treatment when the worse thing he did was get rightfully mad when those two snuck into his ancestral hall w/o his permission.
i see fans try to justify it but it really was overkill to do that to jc's character, no matter how much of an asshole he was, he never did anything so heinous to be humiliated like that. it was disgusting, and it left a bad taste in my mouth even when I didn't understand the full cultural context behind it.
i know im not chinese so i cant speak too much on this matter but this is simply what I observed from watching these east asian historical dramas and how they portray these things.
#the donghua ending for jc just makes me so sad. esp since they said he went into seclusion after that#its very upsetting and icb w/wx and lawnji fans like that scene bc it makes their faves so ooc and unlikeable#no matter how deep the dislike for jc runs for lawnji I don't think he as a second young master would do something so vile#jcposting#emily.txt#pls pls dont show up in any tags I'm just rambling I dont need illiterate shippers attacking me

I am once again asking people to shut the fuck up about what people ship.
Yes, even if it makes you 'uncomfy'. Yes, even if you feel it's 'wrong'. Yes, even if you don't understand the appeal. Yes, even if you don't personally see the characters ever liking each other. Yes, even if it's a kink or fetish you don't understand.
Unless an image is of real, human people being harmed or forced into something they did not consent to, or a real, living creature that is not capable of consent, shut your fucking mouth and scroll away.
Yes, even if you think the drawing is 'illegal' (it isn't). Yes, even if you think the person is wrong for drawing it (they're not). Yes, even if you think their 'coping mechanisms are bad' (art therapy is an entirely normal and common practice). Yes, even if it personally triggers you (that is not the responsibility of the artist. It's yours. Block the tags/person.)
Life is full of horrible stuff much more legitimate to getting upset over than a bunch of lines and colors without any actual thoughts or feelings.
Learning to discern fiction from reality is a useful life skill. Start figuring it out now and save yourselves the trouble later on in life.
You are not better than someone else because of the fake morality you harbor over line and color. You're just not. Much like how best selling authors or renowned film makers are not evil for creating media surrounding sensitive topics, your average shipper on Tumblr isn't either.
Your repacked highschool bullying so you can still separate yourselves from the other people in fandom now that it's mainstream and you can't use it as a means of othering anymore is neither cute nor necessary. It doesn't make you a good person to clutch your pearls over a drawing.
If fake people are more important to you than living, breathing artists, it's not the artist's morality you should be questioning. It's yours.
Every time you want to complain or get bent over a fictional ship, take that energy and go donate a dollar to relief for Palestine. At least then your rage farming will make a fucking difference.

"Dead Dove: Do Not Eat"
About the tag, the origin, and why I think no one on either side of the fandom divide knows how to use it
First of all, I'm crosstagging because I think it's a general issue, not just something for pro or anti shippers. I see the tag get misused on both sides and I just wanted to throw my two cents in
So, where did the term originate? Like all culturally significant things online, it started as a meme. More specifically, a meme from the television show Arrested Development. Character A has put a dead dove into a brown paper bag to store in the family's fridge. On the bag, he has taped a sign that reads, in big bold letters, "DEAD DOVE. Do Not Eat!"
Character B comes across the bag, reads the warning, and opens it anyway. When he's met with, you guessed it, a dead dove, he proclaims "I don't know what I expected".
This is an example of (and has since basically become the spiritual successor to) the "Exactly What It Says On The Tin" trope.
If you want to check out the full history and countless examples of the trope, please check out the page on tvtropes. But for a slightly shorter history - it originated in a British commercial for Ronseal's Quick Drying Woodstain, which the tin claimed "dried quickly". And in the commercial they told you "It does exactly what it says on the tin!" So, the tin says what the product does, then the product does it. You get the idea.
In fandom spaces, the trope just means that the title of Thing (be it movie, show, fanfic, etc) tells you exactly what happens IN Thing. If a show is called "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", you already know it's about a girl named Buffy who slays vampires. If the movie is called "Cocaine Bear", you can bet a bear will get into some cocaine at some point. If there's a fanfic called "Fluttershy Has Tea With Jesus"... you get the idea.
While both tags started out with the same intentions and meaning, I don't think it's any wonder that "dead dove do not eat" has been so easy to misinterpret. For one, "exactly what it says on the tin" sounds more straightforward. You don't have to understand the specific reference to infer it means to check the label (in this case, tags) before purchasing (opening) the product (fanfic)
But dead dove is harder to understand if you don't know the reference. And at a glance, it sounds much darker. Doves have symbolism in multiple religions, and are seen as a symbol of peace. A dead dove evokes images of gore, violence, general unpleasantness. It must only apply to something sinister, right?
The thing about "exactly what it says on the tin" is that the tin needs to say something. You can't point at a blank label and say "here's what you can expect". People would be much less likely to engage with your product if that were the case
In the same vein, slapping "dead dove do not eat" on a fic with no other tags can lead to confusion. In this tag's case, it's a warning. But what are you warning about if you don't also put it in the tags? It leaves people's minds to conjure up only grim and upsetting images of what might be in your fic. Especially when, as it's also common to do, the tag gets shortened to simply "dead dove".
And while, yes, the tag is most likely to get slapped onto fics with dark or upsetting subject matter, that means something different for everyone who comes across it.
Most people seem to think it only applies to inappropriate relationships (age gap, incest, etc). But I've seen it applied to a variety of things, from potentially triggering material (like suicide) to things that simply may not be everyone's cup of tea (like excessive gross-out toilet humor).
In the end, "dead dove do not eat" is a tag that, in my opinion, should not be used as a descriptor as to what type of content your story contains. But rather, a gentle warning to say "hey, I'm specifically telling you what you're about to encounter, so whatever happens next is up to you".
After all, if you read the warning and still open the bag to find something you don't like...
I don't know what you were expecting.
#proship#proshippers#proshipper#proshipping#antiship#pro ship#anti ship#antishippers#antishipper#anti anti#certainly this will lead to nothing bad#anyway if you disagree or have something to add feel free!#this is just pulling from my own knowledge and experience of what i've seen around#so let me know if you're experiences or observations are different#i would appreciate it

Hey is it just me or do certain fans complain about how much they hate the other groups instead of loving theirs.
I don't think calling out the misogyny in this fandom is wrong, not in the slightest (my most popular post is calling out the way people treat ena versus akito because of their gender), but most of the time these call out posts just result in more negativity and arguments rather than any like. Productive discussion.
I don't wanna hear about how minoharu and anhane are more canon than ruikasa and akitoya and are Therefore More Valid And Liking Ruikasa More Is Wrong And Bad (exaggerated but most of the time people do insult a ship in order to promote their own) (also sometimes implies that rarepairs are less valid which is a dick move). I wanna hear about the interesting (and I mean very interesting) relationship that an has with kohane, her feelings of inadequacy and slight envy, I wanna hear about how minori (and the rest of mmj) inspired haruka to get back on the stage, and how minori finally got to "repay" haruka in a way.
I didn't start liking ichika because of people endlessly complaining about how underutilized she is and how You Guys Just Don't Get Her, Read The Stories And you'll Discover That She's Actually Perfect Actually (this one isn't an exaggeration but it was on YouTube not Tumblr so in it goes), I started liking her because I learned about her character, her sheer determination and love for her friends, and her want to resonate with people's hearts from people who really like her.
I'm not gonna pretend the Ruikasa fandom and akitoya fandom can't be annoying, a lot of them are toxic and have a habit of making everything about Ruikasa/akitoya while reducing their relationships with other characters to push their shipping narrative. It pisses me off. A lot. I could write (and probably will write) an entire essay on how entitled and bitchy Ruikasa/akitoya fans can be, and I definitely understand how it can build up resentment towards a ship, and how their mass popularity is most definitely attributed to the fact that they are men (which results in an extreme lack of understanding of their actual characters and overall dynamic, reducing them to "top tall sexy one" and "bottom cute feminine one" which upsets me to hell and back). And calling this out is not wrong in the slightest.
but needlessly attacking a ship that someone likes is not a call out. calling Ruikasa and akitoya "a stupid ship" is not a call out. Actively insulting people for liking it is not a call out. Adding Ruikasa and akitoya tags to your post bashing them is not a callout. It's being a dick. You are not doing anything productive by calling Ruikasa and akitoya shippers idiots or stupid or insulting their taste you are only going to piss people off and you know that you are going to piss people off.
Acknowledge but do not attack. Be civil. And if you cant be civil then save everyone some time and keep it private.
Oh yeah. And be annoying about your blorbos. Make KING kanamafu art. Put shizuairi in Fragile. Talk about how much you love your girl ships and your girl characters and don't event mention the guys, make fanfiction and fanart of the girls, I really really want you to, genuinely, because they do get less rep in the fandom than their male counterparts, so more content of the girls is always great. It feels a lot better than complaining about a ship you don't even like, I promise
(Btw I mention this in the tags but if anyone wants to add input or correct me on something you totally can. My words aren't law and this post is just me stating my thoughts, and I invite you to share yours if you want.)
#also if anyone has anything they want to add or correct me on and add some input that's fine btw#and one more thing. “be civil” applies to everyone. including akitoya and ruikasa fans. dont call other ships irrelevant dont attack them-#DONT ATTACK THE OTHER RUI AND TSUKASA SHIPS BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE THEM. FUCK#project sekai#prsk#my writing

Okay, I’ve been a bit scared because I’ve been observing from the sidelines, but I do want you to know this isn’t a hateful or troll ask, I’m genuinely asking for clarification.
In my experience, “pro-shipping” has always meant ‘problematic shipping’, and all of the people I’ve talked to about this have said the same thing.
Am I the one who’s misconstrued? I really don’t get it.
Being called “pro-harassment” or “pro-censorship” is hurtful and confusing as all hell.
I don’t harass people for what they create. I don’t care to do that. I block and move on, and warn people if I know they could be upset by the content.
But I also don’t understand how certain things are justified.
I am personally not bothered by much, but I have watched friends and acquaintances go through visceral traumatic reactions because people have decided to air out their coping by sharing it with the public. (I.E, people who write romantic incestual fics, etc)
I don’t give a shit what people write. I really don’t. But it feels harmful to use the excuse of coping when you, in turn, could be hurting dozens of others.
Like I said, I genuinely am not trying to be hateful here. I’m confused, and still distraught that all of this is happening. I don’t think anyone deserves to be harassed. I just also don’t get the logic here.
Pro-shipping never once meant problematic shipping. It meant opposite of "anti" because antis would come and invade the tags and asks, calling them all kinds of names if they found their ships distasteful.
Sorry that being indirectly accused of supporting harassment hurt your feelings. Imagine how I felt, being DIRECTLY accused of supporting rape in real life because of my taste in fiction. You are throwing in your lot with people who can't distinguish fantasy and reality.
I don't like incest fics either, anon. They are triggering for me. So you know what I do? I don't read fics tagged as incest. For that reason, I have never been triggered by an incest fic. I suppose I would be if I read an incest fic that wasn't tagged as much, but you will never find a single pro-shipper who defends posting such content without a tag. You are responsible for your own experience online; it is your job to curate the content.
If it was just seeing that the fic exists that triggered the response, then I'm sorry to say they're still in the wrong. As a survivor, learning that triggers exist and how to navigate those triggers is on you. We are responsible for how we deal with our trauma. Your friends didn't deserve their traumas, and they deserve kindness and support, but requesting that people never be allowed to write distasteful fiction so that they don't have to be upset by the idea that someone somewhere shipped incest is not reasonable. Their feelings are valid; it's totally reasonable to be triggered, to strictly curate your online experience. It's reasonable to block everyone who ships the upsetting incest ships, to put an "incest shippers DNI" on your page, all of it. It's not reasonable to call them supporters of IRL incest or to accuse them of causing your trauma. It isn't hard at all on AO3 or Tumblr; they even give you the option to blacklist/filter out certain tags so you can avoid it without blocking users. There's easily half a dozen safeguards that already exist that are a lot less radical, a lot less likely to be weaponized against queer users, and a lot easier to enforce than trying to remove them.
Me writing fics, such as a character using kink to cope, can only harm a user who doesn't curate their feed (and who reads fics they know will trigger them, which I can only assume would then be a purposeful form of self-harm). Denying other survivors their coping mechanism, though, IS a direct form of harm. Stigmatizing recovery by saying that survivors are in any way akin to abusers for creating fiction is a direct form of harm.
It sounds to me like you've absorbed some very harmful and very narrow ideas of what recovery should and should not look like, and what is and isn't a good/valid survivor. You might want to reflect on why you're turning your attention to policing what survivors do to cope so much.

sorry for how pissed i am in this rant i'm just tired of the bullshit.
I wish the radio apple haters make there own fucking tag and leave us alone.
I'm getting tired of each time clicking on radio apple just too see people shitting on our ship like leave us alone. go take your hate somewhere else.
we just having fun, we not bothering people, it is you people who just will not stop, you all just will not stop bad mouthing, just will not stop saying we horrible or we erasing a character like go fuck your self, i have been keeping quit, like i have been nice, like I have not got into any fights with you fucks.
but the endless loops of you assholes coming into not only my space but others who ship radio apple or any other Alastor ships I have enough so go get a fucking life.
if you can't learn to take any enjoyment in a fandom then maybe don't be part of one.
there ships I don't like but I don't bad mouth or go into there space, i don't spend my every waking hour to bad mouth or let them know they horrible pieces of shit.
a fandom will die if us shippers disappear, a fandom will die if us shippers don't come up with au's/head canons/what ifs and many other things that make's it fun.
we are the back bone of the fandom we are what make it fun.
you fuckers just want to suck any enjoyment there is and make rules and guild lines in how people should ship and how everything should just be canon, like no that is not fun. you fuckers don't know how to have fun if i want to be bored i will just watch paint dry wait no hell watching paint dry is more fun then you all bitching now that i think about it.
and let me also say i'm am fucking getting tired of people saying Asexual people can not have feelings or even allowed too love so go fuck your self. we allowed to have feelings we allowed to have emotions, we not fucking mindless robots.
we able to bond with other's, and love is more then fucking like rabbits, love of family, love of friends, love of oneself, love of helping others , love of parent/child and the love of being with another for a lifetime.
and those saying they are asexual and they are upset about Alastor being with someone well then make your own fucking TAG and bitch about how much you don't like about Alastor ship's there
because there is asexual like me and others who enjoy shipping Alastor so what's give you the right to claim owner ship of him
and those bitching about us erasing Alastor also go fuck your self because we are not like you assholes. We know what is head canon and what is just canon
SO I WILL SAY THIS AS KINDLY AS I CAN GET OUT OF MY FUCKING SPACE, i have not enter yours, i have not once attack you all but you all finally pissed me off leave me the fucked alone and leave the people who ship Alastor the fuck alone.
because all you doing is making people pissed at the end of the day.
#hazbin hotel#radioapple#hazbin alastor#people pissing me off#haters need to make there own tag#and stop using ours

I 100% believe anon is for real. I once got someone whining in the comments of my fic that a character couldn't be bi, he had to be gay, so my headcanon was invalid. When I told them that it was clearly labeled and thus they shouldn't have clicked on it if it upset them, they got madder, repeating that it was an invalid headcanon. I told them to ask a parent or guardian to look into a net nanny program of some kind to prevent them from seeing AO3 and other websites where people are allowed to post whatever they want and suggested they learn how to use AO3's search program to exclude tags if they didn't wish to bother their grown-up with such concerns. They repeated that the headcanon was garbage. I gave them a link to an article on digital self-harm and told them that viewing things that upset them was unhealthy.
The really funny part? Their "proof" that the character is gay is that he, at age 12, was not interested in strippers at a club and was uncomfortable. You know, like almost any kid would be at that age in a strip club. Don't feel comfy with big booty strippers and beer at 12? You're gay, it turns out. You have no choice. You have been AGAB - Assigned Gay At the Bar.
They stopped when someone in fandom well known for writing the popular M/M ship involving this character told them they were being, direct quote, "so fucking cringe you're making our entire generation look cringe by association you fucking biphobic baby beluga, go throw yourself in the ocean and scream there because no one on land gives a fuck".
Turns out even other shippers of the M/M pairing find "wah noooo you can't have bi headcanons noooo" annoying as fuck and embarrassing by proximity. You can do that shit but in 2023 you're not going to get much support for it by fandom as a whole.

An izuocha shipper said this:
Bkdks are just so transparent and easy to read. The people who rant now and want "justice for iida" are the VERY SAME people who always call him irrelevant to the story, boring, annoying, talk down his friendship with izuku and still havent forgiven him being rude ONCE to izuku in the very beginning of the manga before he and izuku even were friends (ohhhhh but anti bakugou people have to forgive bakugou ABUSING izuku for 12 YEARS, right?) and unlike bakugou didnt need over a century to apologiez! Lets be real, there is maybe just 1% of bkdk shippers who are really mad that it wasnt iida. For the majority thats not what the real problem is. They arent mad, because iida was "swaped" with ochako in the opening, they are mad because it was ochako and NOT bakugou! NOT ONE OF THEM would complain if instead of ochako reaching her hand out for izuku, if it would have been bakugou! Despite that there is no such moment in the manga between them! Its all about their shipping agenda. The anime can be as inaccurate as possible, bkdks dont care as long as bones highlights izukus and bakugous relationship even if its not manga canon.
What do you think about it? I'm interested in your opinion
And I am happy to give my opinion!!
Once more it's just other shippers trying to take a stab at BkDks and for what? Because they can't let it go. They're just bored and can't help but be asses.
For one, a lot of BkDks I have seen NEVER said Iida is boring or that irrelevant in any way. When it comes to other characters, I have seen a lot of BkDks defend them, Iida being one, Uraraka being another.
Hell, ask a BkDk who their favorite female character and most likely you'll get Ochaco Uraraka aka Uravity as an answer
No one is upset that it wasn't Bakugou that held Midoriya's hand in the opening. We're upset because once more Uraraka is just being used to fuel that role that it seems she's being forced into, which she doesn't deserve. She doesn't deserve to be a girl who only seemed to have Deku on her mind. A lot of her actions aren't even influenced by him and it sucks that others don't get that. On top of that, Iida, who a lot of us love, myself included, hated seeing his big moment taken away like that.
That's what it's more about. When that chapter came out that the opening is alluding to, no BkDk shipper I saw get upset. Why?
Because Iida is another good friend of Midoriya’s, he's also a great character on his own and it was nice seeing him getting the spotlight in that moment. It's like with Kirishima, BkDks like Kirishima because he is also a great character. He just happens to be a friend of Bakugou's. Do BkDks hate that? No!
Also BkDks and Bakugou fans aren't asking for anti Bakugous to "forgive" Bakugou. No one cares how they feel about Bakugou.
At most, what is being asked is not being so annoying about it and leave that space alone that does like his character. They're constantly the same ones sending threats, purposely tagging their anti posts wrong, commenting under fics, reblogging posts, etc. Like hate Bakugou, that's your preference and no one is forcing for a change of heart.
But how in the fuck (excuse my language) are antis going to throw the "Bakugou is a bully" card (mind you, who at the end of the day is a fictional teenager) yet do trolling and bullying REAL PEOPLE?
And!
The anime actually CAN'T be inaccurate as possible because all it's doing is ruining what Horikoshi and his team has worked on in the manga. It's why it's highly encouraged to read the manga.
I'm not surprised an IzuOcha shipper said that because guess what the anime is doing? Making IzuOcha seem more important when there's other things they should be highlighting like Iida's importance. If anyone is easy to read it's some of them.
BkDk shippers love BkDk, yeah, but most I have seen are always excited for the other characters, analyzing scenes about other characters and themes, hell, some are even multishippers so they do like other Bakugou and Midoriya ships.
Honestly, BkDks and Bakugou fans are probably the sets of people that seem to actually care about the story as a whole the most.
Ashido got a scene cut? A BkDk shipper will point it out. Shigaraki didn't say that in the manga and it's out of character? Oh, look that Bakugou fan caught it! Uraraka being reduced to nothing more than a girl with a crush despite having other great qualities that should be highlighted on? BkDks and Bakugou fans are ENRAGED.
Overall, to summarize this (it is long and I apologize for that, I ramble) BkDks in general don't care that it should have been Bakugou who held Midoriya's hand, I know I don't. We care about Iida's and Bakugou's significance to one of the darkest times in Midoriya's life. We care that Uraraka is also treated with care as she should be. If the opening wanted to have an IzuOcha moment, they could have! Just why make it the moment that should have gone to the characters that was important in that vital moment? They've been doing original scenes and whatnot forever, why stop now? Why take something away from other characters that are just as important as the protagonist and main girl character?

What's fascinating about the lack of empathy from a certain set of shippers that you and ultilitycaster have been discussing is that it doesn't just extend to refusing to empathize with characters outside the ship, even characters like Percy who we've had a whole campaign's worth of insight into, but they also refuse to empathize with characters IN the ship if the way they're behaving doesn't fit with the idea they've built up about what the relationship should be. Case and point the gharlrock fight you mentioned in your tags. People were so upset with Imogen because she dared to react to the situation in a way that put her in conflict with Laudna, even though her reaction was totally justifiable from her perspective
Yep. The tone of the discourse at that time was that if it conflicts with "pastel girlfriend and goth girlfriend statically hold hands in a cottage all day", it's bad. And like...y'all, it's a story. Stories have conflicts. Like, isn't that what you want for your ship? P*rc'ahlia wouldn't be half as iconic as it is without the characters' flaws causing problems for each other; I want my stories to be as good as they can be!
At this point I don't ship anybody in Bell's Hells, but with the way Laura and Marisha have played romances in the past, I think that if they do go for endgame Im*dna, they'll do it in a way that'll probably piss off a significant portion of the Cute Girlfriends fandom and will thus actually be interesting. Because relationships need a conflict of some sort to be believable in fiction—even Percy and Vex briefly broke up!—and I think Marisha and Laura both get that it's going to take more than "Imogen and Laudna were super codependent and had a bunch of the same conversations over and over and then they kissed :)" to be a fulfilling narrative for either of them. If they go for it, they'll do it in a way that will be worthwhile and actually has some conflict...which means much of the obnoxious fandom will be outraged by it, but it'll be a much better story in the long run than the current Absolute State of the fanon at the moment.
Like! Let's deal with them being codependent! Let's deal with Laudna not doing anything about Delilah in her head for thirty years and not really bothering for 37 episodes! Let's deal with Imogen considering siding with the people who killed Laudna, and doing so for personal reasons rather than any kind of philosophical ideas! There's genuinely interesting, meaty stuff there, but you have to actually dig into it in order for this relationship to be a worthwhile narrative.

I finished Noah's Arc
My descent into villainy begins.
@lostsomewhereinthegarden wanted to be tagged in this one 💕
Voice acting:
I have no clue what any new characters sound like in the sub, so this 4kids performance only.
Noah: round of applause he sounds fantastic.
Gozuburo: he needs to sound more like he smokes
The Deep Sea Warrior guy: I forgot what he sounded like
Crump: he sounds weird
Johnson: Why is his voice so deep? Why is it so deep? He sounds like a big scary monster.
The robot: I wasn't paying attention to him
Lector: nice. I like his voice.
Dark Magician Girl: it's really annoying for some reason.
Flame Swordsman: hot voice
Serenity's deck master: I don't like it.
Characters:
Yugi: that sure is Yugi. He gets more screentime than usual and that's a nice change. I love his interactions with Téa after her duel, he's so sweet it makes my dumb shipper brain go crazy.
Yami: he sure does duel. He insults Noah a few times, and is mean to Kuriboh in his first duel.
Téa: QUEEN. If Kaiba didn't exist this would have been her season.
Joey: That sure is Joey. It killed me every time he thought of Mai. Bro wants her back so badly.
Tristan: he was robbed. He deserved to duel again.
Duke: this man is so fucking rude like what the hell? I love him tho he's funny and silly.
Serenity: this poor girl blames herself so much. It was not her fault that Tristan died. It was 100% Duke's.
Seto Kaiba: why is he like this? He's so cool.
Mokuba: precious baby wanted to forgive Noah so badly. He said they were family. He said Kaibacorp would help build him a robot body and they could be twins. I'm crying.
Noah: Why was his backstory handled better than the Ishtar's? Why? This is a filler character and I felt worse for him than Marik. Maybe it's because he's a better duelist idk.
The big five: they exist
Gozuburo: his love for Noah was so conditional, I hate this man. I'm glad he's dead.
Important note
Deck Masters are a thing. I like the idea of them.
Duels
Duel 1 - Yugi vs Gansly
Yugi chooses Kuriboh as his deck master and is upset about it because it was an accident.
Gansly is his own deck master.
Most of the duel is Gansly explaining the rules to Yugi and using cards that either don't exist, or are really bad.
Yuugi wins using Kuriboh, Rainbow Bridge, and Gaia the Fierce Knight to attack Gansly directly.
Duel 2 - Téa vs Crump
There was so much Téa fan service in this duel and before this and after this duel. It would have been distracting if this duel wasn't hype.
Téa picks Dark Magician Girl as her deck master, and Crump uses himself/Nightmare Penguin as a deck master.
Crump uses Penguin cards and cards like Cold Wave (Rest in Peace King) to gradually turn Téa into an ice sculpture.
Téa uses cards like Maha Vailo, some equip spells, and Mirror force to help herself, but due to still being a beginner mirror force gets destroyed.
Téa is getting guidance from Dark Magician Girl on how to duel, and ends up using Sage's Stone to special summon Dark Magician.
Téa wins the duel.
Also, Crump wanted to build a penguin themed amusement park, but that's not important.
Duel 3 - Joey vs Johnson
Joey stumbled into a court room after thinking he found his way back to the blimp. He was tricked by Johnson who was pretending to be Mai.
Joey's deck master is Flame Swordsman and Johnson's is Judge Man.
During this duel, Joey is using his deck master's special ability to raise his monsters attack points, but then they all get destroyed.
Now Joey is putting his faith in his gambling cards, but Johnson is cheating and making it so Joey can't use them
Noah catches this and calls out Johnson, but Joey says it's fine as long as he doesn't cheat anymore.
Joey ends up winning.
Duel 4 - Tristan, Duke, and Serenity vs Nezbit
I wasn't paying attention to this duel until Tristan died.
I still wasn't paying attention after he died.
Duke and Serenity win, but Nezbit got to take control of Tristan's body and now Tristan is Robot Monkey Tristan.
Duel 5: Kaiba vs Lector
This duel was too short.
Lector's deck master is Jinzo and Kaiba's is Lord of D.
During this duel, Lector is using cards like Jinzo and Imperial Order to make sure Kaiba can't use spells or traps. He also uses Injection Fairy Lily. I miss her. I miss my Lily.
Kaiba catches on to Lector's plan and makes him lose too many life points to keep Lily and Imperial Order on the field, then he summons Blue Eyes White Dragon and destroys a Satellite. I'm pretty sure 4kids censored this scene, because there was a weird jump cut from Blue Eyes attacking, to the debris falling.
Duel 6 - Joey and Yugi vs The Big Five
The big five are using Tristan's body to duel, and they're doing alright with early Umi Control. Then Johnson ruins it.
Yugi and Joey fuse their deck masters The Big Five fuse their deck masters.
Uhhhhhh
Yugi and Joey win and we never see the Big Five again.
Important stuff that happened
Mokuba got kidnapped and brainwashed.
Kaiba and the gang found out that Noah was Kaiba's step brother.
Noah is being really creepy to Mokuba.
Duel 7 - Yugi and Kaiba vs Noah
This duel is so long
Kaiba is really trying his best and is kind of winning, but Noah is reciting the Bible and using Mokuba as a shield so Kaiba loses because he is a hardcore reddit atheist and loves Mokuba.
Yugi calls Noah a hypocrite and combines his and Kaiba's deck.
Kaiba and Mokuba are turned to stone at this point.
Yuugi keeps talking shit and then Duke gets turned to stone. Nothing of value was lost.
Noah has to activate his deck master's second ability because Yugi destroyed the first one, and now Yugi has to fave Shinatu or whatever his name was.
Noah keeps raising his life points and he's using Spirit Monsters
My honest reaction to spirit monsters.
At least we saw Yatagurasu.
Noah is turning Yugi's friends to stone every turn, but Téa gets to stay alive for one more turn because she's just cool like that.
Yami summons all three Dark Magicians that he has ,but Noah destroyed all of them.
Then Yami summons Blue eyes and wipes out Noah's life points.
Yugi won and Kaiba wasn't happy that Yugi used his deck.
Duel 8 - Kaiba vs Gozuburo
This duel was also too short.
Gozuburo has Exodia and it gave Kaiba PTSD.
Kaiba has to send all 5 pieces of Exodia to the graveyard so that Gozuburo can summon Exodia Necros.
Necros is invincible and Kaiba's all like "You still take damage dumbass"
Gozuburo raises the attack of Necros, and Kaiba banishes (or puts them back in the deck I forgot) the Exodia pieces that were in the graveyard.
Kaiba wins and Gozuburo tries to take over his body anyway, but Yugi saves him.
Important stuff that happened
The squad was looking for an exit with Noah
Noah was told he was disappoinment so many times.
Mokuba accepted Noah as part of his family
Noah went to the real world to help the gang get their bodies back.
The island is about to explode.
Téa, Tristan and Serenity get their bodies back first
Then Duke and Joey
Then the rest of them.
Noah traps Gozuburo in Cyber space.
The island exploded
The End

I realized something about how we had a discussion before about using the ship name Haladriel and if we should keep it going forward in the show and I guess now with the season 2 spoilers we've gotten we likely should keep that as the name since we're talking about the Halbrand form and now Charlie's version of Sauron. I'll post the rest behind a cut for spoilers but I think most of the Haladriel shippers know about these and what I'm referring to. So this ship name will always be Haladriel for me and why I'll only use that tag for the rest of the series and beyond.
ETA: Sorry if this comes across as being bitter but I am still angry and upset about a few of the spoilers we've gotten. Even though I love the show anyone who knows me from my other fandoms is I can still be majorly upset if I think one of my fandoms is doing something I think is wrong and possibly could hurt the show (and we've already had way too much hate that was so messed up). I'm still excited for most of the spoilers we've gotten it's just this particular storyline and some casting choices I don't agree with and think are the wrong call.
So as most know we're getting multiple actors playing Sauron starting with season 2 of "Rings of Power". Charlie's still there and from everything we've gotten so far is the main form on the show for the rest of the series. They are going to show him shapeshifting and we'll see another actor playing Annatar/what Fellowship of Fans has dubbed the "original form" of Sauron (which I'm still mad about as Charlie should be Mairon but that's been in my other posts LOL). Then there's possibly a 3rd actor too to play the form Adar knew.
So we're going to have all these different forms but to me I'm certain the only form I'll still be shipping her with is Halbrand/Charlie's version. FOF also confirmed as far as they know Morfydd never had a chemistry test with the new Annatar actor or anyone else besides Calam who is playing Celeborn. So that's another big thing to me too and likely why I won't be shipping her with Annatar or any other Sauron form as it's not Halbrand.
Now I will say with the LOTR books/movies after rereading/rewatching after watching season 1 of "ROP" I do now ship Sauron and Galadriel in them too. However in the films it's Cate Blanchett and Benedict Cumberbatch since he's Sauron's voice actor and I'm also a fan of them so it works that way too. LOL :D
But that's why I'll always use Haladriel as the ship name as I also feel it shows the impact of the show and how it's through the show that made me ship them and realize it makes everything different and more meaningful adding that too it. Plus to honor Charlie too as he's the first actor to play him in live-action and give him a face.

Regarding Alastor
Before we begin, take a note of my profile picture. It is an aroace flag, because I am aroace. I'm speaking as an aroace, though not for every aroace person as a whole. (But I'm sure many would agree.)
And it is the idea that Alastor is strictly an aroace himself. From what I can gather, information on that is from years ago. (So it can be taken with a grain of salt. Because, hey, nothing was set in stone at the time) But the idea of it upsets people! Now, this sucks on so many levels. How could a show where a major character is at minimum alloace have so many aphobes/arophobes that the creator feels the need to hide a label? He is most likely aroace, so what?
The very root of shipping in fandom is ignoring canon for some fun- some entertainment. It is an act of harmless self-indulgence not meant to effect canon. Alastor won't have a romance subplot, but, hey "that's what fanfiction s for." What are the odds that the people who view aromantic = unshippable ship something contradictory of canon IE Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter?
People who don't like Alastor in ships can block the tags, users, and filter as much of it out as they can. Yes, that is likely most of his fan content right now, but it is not all of it. Tumblr has me eating good with fan content around Alastor's and Lucifer's rivalry, for example
This is not to mention that aromanticism and asexuality are a part of a spectrum. Many people shipping Alastor may be aromantic themselves. It may sound ironic, but many of us can be quite the romantics. (Again, speaking as an aroace who enjoys shipping)
These are umbrella terms. Some are purely aroace and feel none at all, while others may feel some. Think: demisexual/romantic - where an individual will only feel an attraction to someone they have a bond with. I went with the demiromantic route for my fanon interpretation of Alastor, but it doesn't make other fanon interpretations any more or less valid. The most valid interpretation is the canon one anyways, since no amount of fans having fun should be changing the story and the crew's vision.
This rant may be rambly, but whatever. You probably get the gist. Shippers complaining that they would have to comply with Alastor's aromanticism is just arophobia, and the people who find Alastor shipping content upsetting can curate their internet experience and block tags/users who make that content.
If anyone has an issue with "It's okay to ship Alastor, and I don't headcanon him as strictly aromantic," then you know where the block button is. :)
