me: *starts reading a new 100k+ words fic at 2 in the morning*
the 75 fics that have been in my ‘marked for later’ list for 6 months: am i a joke to you?
Ok, so I am currently rereading the Legend of Eli Monpress series, and I had a thought. How do they eat? Everything in this series is supposed to have a soul, a spirit. For the majority of the series a lot of the spirits are asleep and not everybody can hear the spirits anyway, so I can understand the humans eating fruits and vegetables and meat then, but after Spirit’s End (spoiler alert) all the spirits are awake all the time and all the humans can see and hear the spirits. So how do people eat? The animals of course are fine, predator, prey, etc. But how do humans deal with being talked at by their crops, or their fruit, or even their livestock? Even if the livestock don’t really have much to say. Do the humans ask permission? Is it ok because of the whole cycle of rebirth thing? I really need to know the answer for this because it’s really bugging me.
Being a fangirl means you probably have incurable insomnia, hundreds if not thousands of fanfics you want to read but don’t know the name so they’re practically lost, and you’re often viewed as crazy (by yourself or others) because of the inhuman noises you make.
Merry Christmas!🎄🎉🎁
they deserve to be happy!!! 👏👏👏
crowley. also pls reblog this shit it took so long. for real i made this over the course of four days.
So, I wanted to create an appreciation post for the ships that are scorned and receive hate.
For the ships that are treated with homophobia, and are belittled for no other reason than for being between two people of the same gender. The ships whose beautiful emotional developments are ignored, and instead stereotyped into false pictures of “lustful yaoi pairings,” which they are most certainly not.
For the ships that are overshadowed and ignored due to their more popular competition:
For the ships who, conversely, are “too popular,” or have “taken over the whole fandom.”
For the ships who are sent hate for ‘queer-baiting’ in spite of their beautiful, long-developed bond:
For the ships that are considered ‘abusive’ or ‘wrong’ because the characters have problems (and work them out, in DirkJake’s case!):
And the ships between two characters who are “clearly straight,”
(Yes, I have actually seen this argument used against Kagehina XD)
Because every pairing, no matter how minute, mainstream, or controversial, deserves respect. It’s okay if you don’t ship it. Hell, I don’t ship all of the pairings in this post. However, that gives you no excuse to behave with hostility towards the people who do.
(I will likely continue making edits to this post. I didn’t include every ship that has ever received hate, of course, and I may have mis-categorized a few of them. I understand that not everyone will like these ships for a variety of reasons, but I would appreciate it if everyone avoided any shiphate :)
Just a quick reminder for people new and old to fandoms.
You do not owe someone an explaination for shipping something
You do not need to defend your ship
You do not need to prove your ship is ‘healthy’ in order to ship it
You do not need to ship healthy ships
You do not need to ship hetero, gay, or queer ships that satisfy some quota of diversity for the fandom
You do not have to ship at all
And on the flip side:
Do not try to harm others
Do not tell others they need to harm or kill themselves
Do not cross post your hate
Do not forget to tag NSFW items as people browse while on a work network
Do not post your long fics without putting it under a cut. Some people use mobile and this is really hard for them to scroll, or use text to speech
In the end, ship what you want, don’t ship what you don’t want to ship, and be courteous to one another. And as a last piece of advice, don’t focus on your notp. Post your ships instead and build up what you love, not what you hate.
So I’ve just recently started reading Noragami after watching the anime a couple months ago, and the whole time I can’t stop making comparisons to the Legend of Eli Monpress and seeing similarities in several of the characters. Putting most of this under a cut because there’s only a few of you who have read Eli Monpress, and also because my lovely roommate/bestie has only just started reading Eli Monpress and there’s gonna be some later novel spoilers in here.
Keep reading
their canon relationship is wildly amusing to me
Me, every time I go on ao3:
I identify as female with she/her pronouns. I love anything One Piece. Especially Trafalgar Law.
