I’m just going to type this out for anyone that would like to know a more accurate definition for the term ‘proship’. Because from what I know and what I’ve seen being spread around, antis and other people that don’t fully understand the actual meaning have slandered the term - demonizing it in a way, and making all people that call themselves ‘proship’ seem like people that deserve to be in jail. This definition is the personal version of being proship that I live by / that I follow. It may be a bit different for other proshippers, but what I am about to say is the basic definition of a proshipper.
This post is being made for the sole purpose of educating those who do not know the actual definition, or have been told the twisted and wrong versions of what it means to be proship.
To me, being proship is a sort of ‘live and let live’ outlook on shipping. A ‘don’t like, don’t look’ way of treating fictional pairings. Proshippers do not all enjoy the same content - some of them have ‘problematic’ ships, and some of them don’t. However, one thing that all proshippers have in common is the basic decency to not go out of their way to harass other people over FICTIONAL CONTENT. Proshippers can not like or agree with certain ships, but will not attack or harass the people that do ship said things. You can not like ships and keep that to yourself. Fictional ships aren’t causing harm to real people. FICTIONAL CHARACTERS are not going to be harmed if you ship them together with other fictional characters. Proshippers are able to identify the line between fiction and reality. Proshippers may enjoy certain ‘problematic’ ships or content in fiction, but do not endorse such things in real life.
That is the definition of proship that I live by and that I practice. I do not harass or attack others based off the fictional content that they choose to enjoy. I have problematic ships, yes - but I don’t endorse any of the bad problematic things that I like / ship in the real world. Only in fiction, because to ship something in fiction isn’t doing harm to anyone unless they go out of their way to make it their business…which they shouldn’t do.
Proshippers are normal people, just like everyone else. We should not be treated as animals or terrible people - we should be treated the same as anyone else. Because, quite frankly, we are all just normal people with interests. Everyone has interests and is allowed to like what they do - nobody should make another human being feel like shit for their interests.
We are not monsters. We are not predators. We are just out here trying to live our lives like the rest of you. Please do your research before bashing / hating on proshippers. Learn the actual meaning. Learn that we are not the horrible people that antis online make us out to be. And for antis and / or anyone that sends threats and harassment to other people simply due to what ships they enjoy…please think about your actions. Think before you speak. Realize that treating other people like that isn’t going to get you anywhere in life. If you yourself want to be respected, treat others as you want to be treated. Do not demonize people because you don’t personally like something / you think that what they enjoy is ‘bad’. Everyone has their own opinions, but NOBODY deserves threats or harassment based on said opinions - especially not what it comes to FICTIONAL SHIPS.
Thank you for reading. I hope this helped.
[ ❤ Works posted so far! ❤ ]
Here are today’s fanworks! Please leave a comment and kudos for the authors and artists. They’ve worked very hard to bring you a ton of great works. Authors/artists will be revealed September 3rd!
Additional Tags: Six of Crows AU, Adopted Sibling Relationship, Moral Dilemmas, Kidnapping, Copious Amounts of Guilt, Grisha Jason, Severe bouts of Self-Doubt, Captivity, Angst, Death of unnamed background characters
Summary: Jason is more than Dick could’ve ever asked for in a little brother, and he’s willing to do a hell of a lot to keep him safe and happy. Maybe too much.
Six of Crows AU.
Additional Tags: Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Wedding Fluff, Idiots in Love, That’s it that’s the plot
Summary: Dick can’t help the simultaneous inhale and exhale when he sees Jason coming down the aisle. The cut of his white tux makes a gorgeous figure against the backdrop of blue and red they chose for the decor. A nightmare for their wedding planner, but somehow, someway it worked for them. Dick can feel his heart flutter in his chest.
He didn’t know how to feel about Jason wearing white. When the man first brought it up he agreed without question.
Now staring at his handsome, statuesque fiance he wishes he thought about it more.
Additional Tags: Fluff and humor
Summary: After a (presumably daring) rescue, Dick cooks dinner and games are played.
Additional Tags: Slice of Life, Canon-Typical Violence
Summary: Sixteen-year-old Jason Todd knows there’s opportunity, and then there’s Opportunity, and he’s never been the one to miss a chance to help him survive on the streets of Gotham.
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Lady Shiva is Jason’s Mother, Jealousy, Resentment, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Canon-Typical Violence, Denial, Crushes
Summary: Jason should have known better than to go picking unnecessary fights with heroes. Especially ones like Nightwing. Now that his mother has offered Dick Grayson training in exchange for defeating her son, all he can do is seethe at the injustice of it all, as well as hope for the opportunity to set the record straight again. An endeavor that would be much easier if Dick didn’t insist on being so perfect all the time.
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Alternate Universe - Creatures & Monster, sSoul Bond, Identity Reveal, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Minor Violence
Summary: A huge storm is raging over Blüdhaven.
Nightwing is missing.
Jason volunteers to walk into the storm, lies on his tongue and a second heartbeat in his chest.
What he discovers could change everything but is it enough to find Dick and stop the storm?
Additional Tags: Dick Grayson is Ric Grayson, Canon-Typical Violence, Amnesia, Clubbing, Fighting Kink, Blow Jobs, Consensual Sex, Dubiously Consensual Blow Jobs
Summary: The latest rumor is that Nightwing had been taken down by a lucky contractor. Jason didn’t believe it at first.

Jason greets him with a kiss.
Woof woof!!! Be careful of the wolf!

Fashion meme with the Batfam
Dick 'I starved myself for two weeks because I didn't had time to eat' Grayson
Jason 'the last time I skipped a meal was because I was dead' Todd
They are happily married
Thus it becomes Jason’s personal duty and goal to feed Dick physically, emotionally and “romantically.” 🥹💕
Imagine the batkids roasting Bruce's tendency to wear only one fashion XD
Speaking of the Rogues in Gotham it’s so fucking funny all of them have met Bruce and Interacted with this kid since he was 13 to like 18 so like Bruce is fucking no stranger and they legit have seen him grow to Batman before before dipping for a couple of years so like I’m just surprised 99%-100% of them see batman and aren’t just like
“Oh shit it’s turtle neck boy who doesn’t know what a social cue is!!!BRUCE HEY WHAT UP-”
