if you’ve ever felt personalized victimized by CLAMP clap your hands
I always hate it when people are all “so do you go to school, or are you working, or” and I either have to
make up some lie, or
eventually get around to “I am not working because of depression/anxiety,” and subsequently have to deal with whatever bullshit-riddled and completely unsolicited opinions on mental illness this stranger feels obligated to share with me.
So my therapist was like, “You don’t have to do either. You can just say you haven’t worked in a while because you’re recovering from an illness.”
I tried it when the home inspector was here today, and it fucking worked. He was like, “oh, I’m sorry, are you doing better now,” and I’m like yeah, and don’t worry, it’s not contagious, awkward laugh, and we moved on.
MY THERAPIST. IS A GENIUS. Because it is an illness, so it’s not a lie to say that, and it’s also none of his business to know specifically what it is, and I clearly don’t want to give more details, so we should move on from this topic. MY THERAPIST IS A GODDAMN GENIUS.
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 :)
Inktober no 13.
since it’s technically the 13th here in Sweden now (by about 1:30 hours) I’m posting it. XD
Cody and Obi Wan getting ready for another engagement against the Seppies. I absolutely love their close relationship in The Clone Wars series, they seem to work so well together and seem to know exactly what the other need to do during battle.
I love it.
My art are not to be used as refs. Thank you.
Reject the chains of history. Do not let the past define your future as I did. Free yourself from the past. Learn from it, understand it–then let it go. Create a brighter future from your own hearts and imagination.
King Harrow, The Dragon Prince s2, ep 6 “Heart of a Titan” (via red-alynore)
Okay so I may have spent the greater part of the day thinking about this instead of studying but like image:
The Skywalker twins are born earlier in the war & despite the fact that they are all deeply involved in the war Padme + Anakin + Obi Wan (because lets be real he’s parent #3) decide they are going to use paid babysitters as little as possible and have the twins with them as much as possible.
It becomes quickly (and semi-reluctantly) accepted by everyone that Padme and Obi Wan will have a twin or two swaddled against their chests during meetings.
Padme debates policies on the Senate floor with Luke asleep in a sling.
Obi Wan helps organize troop movements with Leia held in one arm, the other hand and just a touch of the Force to keep her entertained.
Anakin quickly masters the art of moving around ships to repair/enhance with Leia strapped to his chest and Luke his back.
It becomes a common sight to see Ahsoka walking through the halls of the Jedi Temple or the Senate Building with one of the children taking them to one of their parents because “Obi Wan was helping teach the younglings and they got fussy” or “Anakin and I have been sent on an impromptu mission and he’s finishing preparations”.
R2-D2 learns that if you rock the carrier they are in the human infants will stop its screeching.
Half the clones have at some point one of them unceremoniously shoved into their hands with the order of “keep them safe and get them out of here” because a situation has suddenly and unexpectedly erupted into violence and their parent/s are about to run into the fray.
Bail Organa has a small supply of baby toys/a spare set of clothes in his office for occasions where something has come up and Padme needs to go NOW and “would you mind? Just until Obi Wan can get here from the temple?”
There are even times where Mace ends up with one of them in his custody. He spends the time informing them of all the traits of their parents they are not to inherit, starting with “having children with Senators in the middle of a war”
I think I could go on forever but just the Skywalker twins ending up with like 100 unintentional non-blood aunt/uncles because there is a war going on & their parents are determined to use as little hired help as possible (so instead all their friends end up being roped into it)
The multiverse and it’s possibilities
Me, watching the prequels: ugh who even cares about the stupid clone troopers
Me, a mere 5 episodes into The Clone Wars: I DO. I CARE ABOUT THESE STUPID CLONE TROOPERS.
Law gets captured by fisherman and ends up in an aquarium where he’s tested and experimented on.
Luffy has full access to the facility because his grandpa runs the place. He usually plays with the fishes and swims with the dolphins.
They meet because Law escapes from his tank and is need in water due to being out too long. Luffy drags him in a secret room where he places him in an underwater tube.
They become friends, well, Law doesn’t trust him automatically. Luffy proves it to him that he’s trustworthy.
Luffy helps Law escape by putting him in a barrel. He fooled everyone.
When Law finally gets back in the ocean, he ends up coming back, hoping to see Luffy again. He was smitten with him.
Luffy sees Law again and swims with him. Law wants to be with him so bad, but he can’t live on land.
Law gets captured for a second time. But this time it was by Luffy, in another facility. Underwater. Luffy had asked his grandpa for a big favor.
Luffy now runs a facility below where he can be with Law and do research on marine animals. Law can go in and out as he pleases, while still being with Luffy.
I have more of these headcanons if anyone wants me to write them out. Give me a push and I will go gladly into that dark night.
So after spending most of this afternoon and evening having been sucked down the rabbit hole that is TV Tropes, I found this SUPERB description of Jim Butchers Codex Alera series of books:
“Magical Roman Legionnaires straight out of Avatar: The Last Airbender versus the Zerg, wolfmen with Blood Magic, telepathic yetis and white-haired elves. Riding ground sloths and terror birds. Sometimes, the Legionnaires fight each other, too.“
Yup, just as awesome as that sounds ;)
I identify as female with she/her pronouns. I love anything One Piece. Especially Trafalgar Law.
