Look, I Want To Believe That Hanamusa Shipping Taking Off The Way It Did Wasn’t 100% Due To The Good

Look, I want to believe that Hanamusa Shipping taking off the way it did wasn’t 100% due to the good art and the fact that an animation professional started it, but because it feels so effortless and comforting.

Lots of ships want to focus on the drama of the relationship, or the youthful aspects of them, but this ship that literally had no chance at screentime speaks so much about what we value in a relationship.

We have two adult women, with their lives made, getting together over a happenstance. One of them has known nothing but heartbreak and loss, but she remains confident and hard-working, another one is a single young mother, who hasn’t been presented as something other than a mom, but we can tell her values by how she raised the lead character of the show. Their energies compliment each other because they both nurture each other’s needs: Jessie needs stability and healing, and Delia needs a partner who can spice up her life.

They’re characters we judge by how they revolve in Ash’s life, but bringing them together is not just funny at thought, but it allows them to reclaim their narratives and exist and expand outside of their initial roles.

I want to believe this ship took off because it made us want closure for these characters, and because it illustrates perfectly the goals of a working relationship: Growth and Comfort 💝

Rewatched The Good Place for the first time since s4 dropped and. Oh my god. The Good Place said "people are a result of their environment but we always have a moral responsibility to be better" and The Good Place said "every day the world gets a little more complicated and it gets a little harder to be good" and The Good Place said "even in the face of total nihilism, when nothing you do will matter, you still have to at least try. Because trying is better than the alternative" and The Good Place said "if you have bills to pay and shit to deal with you don't have time or energy to become a better person" and then The Good Place really said "people get better when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don't " and THEN The Good Place really said "no one is irredeemable. Everyone can try to be better today than they were yesterday" AND THEN! The Good Place said "Heaven is just enough time with the people that you love" OH MY FUCKING GOD.

reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics

“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.
