I am reminded of my younger years where I dreamed (and still do) of creating a series, a show, SOMETHING! One of these shows in my head featured two non-identical twins (basic story One was blind and 'weak' and the other was forced to be a parent to the other) and I was always so scared to expand upon it because 'What if people ship them?' i thought about this a lot. Way more than normal. I would think of the fanfictions people would make of my twins, I would imagine how good the fanart would be, I would make it further fucked up for them by imagining the 'Parental' one to want some kind of reward for everything he's been put though just to take care of the other one, which would lead to them gently coaxing them into sex-
Eventually I realized I wasn't scared of them getting shipped because it was wrong, I was scared because I'd spend all my time reading the fanfiction than working on my story.
I am gonna be so fr fr, idk was Radqueer is. I like posts that sometimes have the hashtag in them and then I like posts that have anti Radqueer and I'm watching as I'm getting flooded with posts about both while having zero clue what anyone is talking about.
I am mildly afraid to ask.
Every day I get a little bit closer to wanting to do and host a massive tumblr art trade art blog event that's like Art Fight but for proshippers and is like CreativeClash but I'm the one in charge and doing it and hosting the fun team theme polls and stuff pensive 😔
I also get a little closer to wanting to host Proship roleplay blogs where people can look for RP partners
I feel like this relates to something much bigger.
I feel like Proshippers need to realize that just because someone likes something doesn't mean they're proship. The only two things required to be a Proshipper are:
1. Anti-Censorship
2. Anti-Harassment
That's it. That's all you need.
Someone can like lolisho and not be proship because they'll harass people.
Someone can like non-con and not be proship because they think fanfic of underage characters shouldn't exist.
Someone can selfship and not be proship because they'll judge Proshippers who also self ship and gate keep.
Selfshipping started in the Proship community, yes. But everything that happened in fandom started with the Proship community because Proship used to be the fandom standard.
"proship DNI!!!"
What kind of proship? Yumeship? RPF? Selfship RPF? Darkship? Shipping in general?
-💢💻
hot take of my own. i do not believe selfshipping is proshipping because most folks in the community are ficto, therefore making selfshipping a byproduct of human sexuality and not something that can be claimed by an ideology such as proshipping. people have been, without a term for it itself, been selfshipping as early as the written language was made. unfortunately though last time i said that on my main account, i was harassed and told i wasn't a real proshipper for having a different opinion on this (because obviously, you cannot disagree with your own community. sarcasm.)
Fandom has become so unfun nowadays. Just interacting with the media in general, honestly. I miss when I could watch someone make a negative review on something and hear actual reasons why it wasn't enjoyable (but still okay for other people to like it) rather than "This show is dealing with dark topics in a way I dislike."
I miss when it was actually ship whatever you want. I miss when people would ship whatever the heck they wanted regardless of canon. I miss when the most popular ship wasn't the canon ship. I miss when people could actually have fun.
Now it just feels like constantly having to avoid people because of the threat of actual harm because they weren't able to handle what they watched.
Y'all start a roleplay that's so good you kinda just idle around waiting for the next response?
Alright friends, I'm bored. Send me requests to draw stuff and I'll sketch it.
I'll draw or doodle anything really, although know that NFSW will look kinda shitty and will have to be cropped and sent to some site in the shadow rehelm.
Go destroy my ask box, do it do it
A looooong time ago (6 months ago), I created a character with vitiligo. Only, I didn't fully understand how vitiligo worked. I knew of the loss of melon, I knew of the extra spicy sunburns, and I kinda knew something about the eyes getting bad. But for some unknown reason, I assumed that it could work in reverse.
I created a character who had hyperpigmentation Vitiligo. This does exist! But not in the way I made it. So recently after finding out that Uncle Rufus from the Bondadooks was lying about revitiligo, I decided 'Oh shit. I gotta fix my boy!'
So I changed him from having hyperpigmentation to universal vitiligo, did my best to change every bit of misinformation I had in his bio.
Before when I had the information wrong, people (antis) praised me for my representation. Now that I've updated the bio to be more accurate, I am being told I didn't have to create a character whose sole purpose was to be whitewashed.
...
Man, I either live knowing I was horribly misrepresenting a group and getting praised by those who don't have it or I live being harassed for whitewashing a character who was white from the beginning by people who don't have it.
Behold, the start for the entries to my self ship characters and the OCs I made to kiss them. Here, I will talk about my OC, the character they are dating, share some art, and other stuff, idk.
Change of pace, this is actually where I'll put my OCs in general. But they'll all be in pairs. :D
Basic thinks to know:
All of my Self Insert OCs use He/Him and switch being a Trans Man or a Cis Man depending on how I personally feel at the moment.
I am not against sharing F/O, I don't care. I can understand if you are tho, so feel free to block this post or me.
I'll be posting my OCs slowly since I'm lazy in a reblog.
I am pansexual, so are ALL of my OCs.
I am also posting these so perhaps one day, when I finally am able to open up art trades, people will open my pin and have an easy look through. :D
If you're one of those people who look at people's OCs and think 'Woag, they look so silly. I wanna draw Dem..." Know that I am open to that and I will 100% look to drawing you something back 💜
The toxic yaoi to the mild disagreements yaoi pipeline

People (Aka antis) will call two men that have a "I mildly dislike you but i would cry if you died" dynamic toxic yaoi
