Okay So I Understand Why Heathmael Is Such A Popular Ship

Okay so I understand why Heathmael is such a popular ship

But I’d like to propose more people consider Rodyish

It’s been bothering me for so long that Rodya x Ishmael isn’t a more popular ship than it is

And now that this line has been released I just can’t keep quiet anymore.

There’s also that scene in Canto 5 where Rodya pulls Ishmael aside to “get ice cream” and temporarily calm her down by explaining why the lower class sometimes just needs something to believe in even if they know deep down they’re being exploited, cus they don’t really have an alternative.

Like, she clearly understands why Ishmael is upset and is able to get through to her

Not to mention how Ishmael comments on how strong Rodya is as she pulls Ishmael away from the group.

And there’s at least another, if not two, scenes later on down the line where Ishmael mentions how strong Rodya is.

Considering how she fell for Queequeg, it wouldn’t be a stretch to believe that strong, muscular women are her type.

So what’s her relationship with Heathcliff like, if not romantic?

To me, Ishmael and Heathcliff are platonic besties

Like, I feel like Ishmael would be the only sinner Heathcliff would open up to about what really happened at Wuthering Heights, and how he lost Cathy, since he knows Ishmael knows what it’s like to lose a lover.

In my mind, Ishmael’s a lesbian and Heathcliff respects that, and also acknowledges that any romantic feeling he might have felt towards Ishmael come from how she kinda looks like Cathy if you squint.

What are your thoughts?

watching @nanowrimo within a single hour:

make an awful, ill-conceived, sponsored post about "responsible"/"ethical" uses of ai in writing

immediately get ratio'd in a way i've never seen on tumblr with a small swarm of chastising-to-negative replies and no reblogs

start deleting replies

reply to their own post being like 'agree to disagree!!!' while saying that ai can TOTALLY be ethical because spellcheck exists!! (???) while in NO WAY responding to the criticisms of ai for its environmental impact OR the building of databases on material without author consent, ie, stolen material, OR the money laundering rampant in the industry

when called out on deleting replies, literally messaged me people who called them out to say "We don't have a problem with folks disagreeing with AI. It's the tone of the discourse." So. overtly stated tone policing.

get even MORE replies saying this is a Bad Look, and some reblogs now that people's replies are being deleted

DISABLE REBLOGS when people aren't saying what nano would prefer they say

im juust in literal awe of this fucking mess.

Lost soul from Twitter, how do I use this app?

if you're an artist, use lots of hashtags, up to 30!! its not like twitter where you get punished for spam. don't use irrelevant hashtags its considered rly bad form. fandom and -core stuff works really well. search tags and you can see how active they are

also look into the tumblr queue. you can set it so it posts once every day between certain times so you dont have to input time/date EVERY SINGLE TIME !!!! it is SO NICE

if you're a follower, reblog all the stuff you like. that's how stuff gets shared on here cos there's no algorithm (unless youre in 'for you'). so its more important to boost what you like.

you can add tags in your reblogs so you can browse them later in different categories. this is a fucking amazing feature

you can also follow tags youre interested in and just browse a page of all your tags

also if you want you can customize your profile's html and css which is very fun, look up how to do that

if you want some artists to follow look on tofupixel.tumblr.com/tagged/follow that's my artist recommendation tag

have fun <3

Smol thing, but as much as I enjoy the art of Arlecchino as the Phantom of the Opera because it's always very excellent, I kinda feel like Sandrone would fit the role of the Phantom better.

Like the book Phantom, specifically. The 2004 film works well for Arlecchino, but the book would fit Sandrone because she can take her whole face off to reveal the metal skeleton underneath.

There's also the fact that Sandrone is much more secretive and elusive than Arlecchino.

But yeah
