I saw you wanted people to ask you stuff over that reblog, so I'll ask a few.
What was it that made you realize you're proship/what changed your beliefs?
What are your favourite things about your F/O(s)?
And ( apart from High Guardian Spice ) what are some shows/movies/games/books/franchises that you like?
Oh my gosh, hi ray :3
1. Growing up, there was always a part of me that didn't believe that the media I consumed was gonna affect my morals. I always liked power dynamics and age gaps and even when I was on the Anti side, I never agreed fully with what they said. So I would always try and find anti videos that would validate what I specifically liked. But then one day, few months ago, I was scrolling on YouTube and I got a recommendation from a YouTuber I had subbed too. He rarely posted so I clicked on it right away and it was a video about how he liked a tennicallly kinda cringe show that sexualize underaged girls and monsters. He, his friends, and his girlfriend would watch it every week when a new episode went out. Than he went in about why some people hated certain shows for having adult themes such as Goblin Slayer opening with a rape scene unlike another show that did the same thing. Then it ended with a long sit down talk about how you can like whatever show you want no matter the themes because it doesn't affect how you act in real life and that was the moment where I was like 'Oh. I just watched a Pro ship video and agreed with it.'
2. Gosh where do I start with Slime Boy. I love his voice so much. People say his mic is bad, I can understand him fine. I love his singing voice, I love how he's arguably the most simple design in the show yet he manages to stand out so easily. I love how relaxed he always is. He is def coded to be high all the time. I love his skeleton costume because it blessed me with this picture:
3. Off the top of my head I am in the: MHA fandom, MLP fandom, Disney fandom but specifically the part where people make those cross over music videos where they edit the characters interacting, The Metal Family (I am so there for Heavy x Dee, it was the first ship I allowed myself to like after that video I watched), The Coffin of Any and Leyley although i haven't played the second chapter yet, Miraculous Ladybug because i actually don't like it but i am addicted, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Horrid Henry because I love boys who get abused, Spiderverse movies, The Owl house, Don't Toy With Me the indie game, and possibly more I've forgotten
Nuh uh, I was put on death row for having a sibling. Typing this on the electric chair rn /j
Sibling coded does not exist and it’s an excuse for harassment. If a creator wants their characters to be siblings, they’ll make them siblings.
Minor coded does not exist and it’s an excuse for ableism, body shaming, and even worse harassment. If a creator wants their character to be a minor, they’ll make them a minor.
Queer and neurodivergent coding exists as a direct result of censorship in the industry. There’s stigma around being queer and neurodivergent and companies don’t want to deal with backlash over “going woke”.
There is no stigma, at all, around characters being underage or siblings.
It’s one thing to just see two characters as siblings in a found family way, that isn’t my problem. My problem is when you make things up and use it to harass people.
Underage headcanons for characters that have no confirmed one is a very slippery slope and some of you rocket yourselves down the slope at mach 6.
Yes, fiction ≠ reality, but your ableism towards fictional characters can and will reflect on you as a person. Just like how being homophobic or transphobic to fictional characters will reflect on you.
"I shouldn't watch Yan-Sim lore videos," I say to myself. "I shouldn't watch them. I shouldn't even watch a playthrough of them."
"But why?" I find myself asking myself. "But why not? I have the brain DLC that allows me to separate art from artist."
Foolish I was, because the bad creator wasn't the problem. It was the bad writing, styled just in the right way to get my money brain thinking and wishing for something better. I am given a curse, I am weak for family generation curse stories. If I watch a Yan-Sim video... I'll want to rewrite it.
And I don't have time for that shit.
Thought a different homie was proship like me because he said he didn't care what people did in fiction as long as it stayed in fiction.
I made the mistake of mentioning the fact fictional children don't fall into the category of pedophile and now I have to lie through my teeth saying 'Oh, no lolis and Shotas are very bad! Yeah, teenagers that don't act like teens are the exception of course!'
I miss my other, actual proship friend.
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.
Just rambling about my hyper fixation!
Waiting patiently for the Art Fught team themes to be revealed. After all the shit happened and soon to happen, it'd be nice to have a vote about something unserious and with a good outcome no matter what. (except 2024, I really hated Seafoam vs Stardust. I'm sorry y'all.)
And while I don't agree with a lot happening with the mods, I can ignore it. I can ignore it and just, idk, draw. I'm not here to make friends. I'm actively ignoring every proshipper DNI on that platform because I know what one of those mods are into.
So I am gonna sit, and wait for the team vote. I am kinda hoping for an underdog year where they put nothing but the least voted for options of previous years. Give me a year where my options are (assumptions) Trash vs Treasure or Clouds vs Caverns and other similar things.
No hate to those teams, I just saw them get trashed ❤️.
Personally, I don't hate them cuz they're boring, I just hate that they start with the same letter. I hated how Seafoam and Stardust were both an S. I hated how Sugar and Spice were both an S too. (Though, their words were more unique shape wise so I don't really hate it.)
All in all, I am excited for art fight again. Last year was like, my test run year. This year is gonna be my fr fr actual goated year. I so excited.
In a few days, hours, years I'm gonna make a post about my self insert OCs and my Self ships. Stay turned for when I finished because then I'm gonna OPEN ART TRADES!
Overall, I wanna redesign my blog and how it looks, maybe change my banner, my colors (keeping Proship pink ofcccc), and other things. Just feels like I should since new year is coming and all 💜❤️
How I'm gonna look to antis soon:
I know proshippers don't really have a style or anything because we're all different humans and such...
But I am starting to notice we all like the color pink
Gosh, that would be so nice! Someone went ahead and made me a better version (which I am so so grateful for!) but I would be interested in learning actual good design comp though! Maybe one day I could create a bunch of blinkies.
I created my own Proshipper warning tag for me. It's ugly as fuck, but it gets my point across and has my fictional boyfriend. I will gladly take any tips to make this look not as ugly. Banner design is not one of my skill levels lmao ToT
More questions cuz I feel like it!
What's your dynamic(s) with Slime Boy like? Does it switch a lot, or do you have a (few) consistent dynamic(s)?
Are there any fun facts about yourself you feel like sharing? Could be anything as long it's something you're willing to share.
Hehe Hi bestie :3
1. the dynamic is pretty consistent. It's always a lazy couple vibe where we don't always act like a couple but we still very much are. I like to imagine everything is gentle and lazy and sweet. But things can get extreme if something happens such as one of us getting busy and not being able to hang out with the other for a while, then we explode the other with PDA. Everything nice and perfect.
2. Fun facts hrm. I'm not a very fun person, my only interests are art and goofing off. I am 18 years old, but still in highschool. I signed up for an art class but they put me in dang drama class. I have both and art fight and Creative Clash profile, both which have been my first year. For safety, my art fight is not the same username as my this tumblr. I've been drawing since I was a baby, but I've been drawing digitally since I was 13 where my dad introduced me to a digital art program. I canonically have scoliosis. I'm also Uber woke because I have the audacity to be Pansexual and Trans.
