Me omw to go crush on a billion obscure background characters from popular shows
I tried following someone only to discover they're already following me ;^;
At this point, I accept that I will never get the chance to follow someone first BECAUSE THIS KEEPS HAPPENING IN THIS COMMUNITY AND I'M SO HONORED THAT EVERYONE I LIKE APPARENTLY LIKES ME ALREADY
New proship user? New proship user :D
HI I AM A NEW PRO SHIP USER :3
Welcome to the proship side of tumblr, it's good to have you here!😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been here for three days and I've already had such an amazing time thanks to people like you!
There is a deep rooted part of me that wishes to make an 'Anti' tumblr blog, where I do what I do here but anti style, gain a bunch of followers and stuff, then make a final post saying 'Sorry guys, i am a proshipper now. This space makes me miserable." And end it on that.
I probably won't because i actually WILL be miserable.
This is such a black and white argument holy shit. I have to rant about this, peeps.
'If fiction doesn't affect reality, how about we just make every character a cis, straight, white, abled, nerotypical man from now on!'
Wanna know the reason?
Comfort.
That's what it all boils down to!
Comfort!
You know how comforting it is to finally get to see a gay person on the big screen? You know how comforting it is to see a disabled person, trans, colored, fat on the screen? Comfort! Easy as that!
You know why some proshippers take their favorite characters and ship them? Comfort. You know why some like to race bend their favs? Comfort! You know why some like to put them into horribly dark situations that they hate IRL? Comfort!
Of course, not to mention the 30 page essay I could do on the process of censor ship. Because at a time, there was a point where only Men of those categories could be on the screen! When a women was needed, they'd just get a man and make him be the girl!
If fiction doesn't affect reality, then why do we need representation. why don't want just make every character in every media from now on a white cishetallo abled neurotypical man and nothing else.
Because that's boring. Next question.

I have never watched danny phantom before, but man I want that twink obliterated
The best part about that argument, is that they know. All of them. (Excluding the hardcore Anti lmao) My girlfriend knows I am a proshipper, all my friends know I adore the, ahem, dark stories. Guess what? NO ONE CARES! And if they do, they sure as hell don't say it to my face.
"go tell your irls the disgusting shit you're into!!"
okay if we're playing that game , go tell a proshiper to kts irl , straight to their face
see how others look at you , see if you get the same support and cheer you do in your little hero complex echo chambers
Whenever I read the word 'Prolific' I think it has something to do with Pro vs Anti stuff and I sit there wondering what the hell a 'Lific' is before realizing prolific is a word in the hand held dictionary.
Be honest, chat, how cooked am I? 😔
