Daily Reminder That 'they're Hot' And 'they'd Be Hot Together' Are Perfectly Valid, Complete Reasons

Daily reminder that 'they're hot' and 'they'd be hot together' are perfectly valid, complete reasons to ship two characters and you do not need a checklist of stipulations and statements in order to justify why you're shipping two characters.

It literally doesn't matter who they are or what relationship they have. You can like them just because you find them attractive. Just like 'no' is a full sentence, 'they're hot' is a full sentence. That's the beauty of fiction; by its own nature it doesn't have to subscribe to the intricacies of reality.

Yes this is about the Supernatural cast, but it also needs to be said:

Support actors independently of their past or current casts, however iconic.

E.g; if your only comment about one of their new roles or projects is something about one of their past/current cast members being involved, just don't comment.

Yes, its fun to see iconic casts paired in other projects and yes its awesome to have your favorites all working on something together, but actors are allowed to have passions and roles and projects that are separate from people they've worked with or are working with. Using SPN again but Misha Collins is allowed to work on Gotham without all of you hounding him about when Jensen Ackles is going to make an appearance. Its a new, iconic, exciting role for him and if you can't support an actor without constantly anchoring them to previous roles and casts, you need to step back a little and understand you're tethering their value as an actor to those aspects.

Just imagine if you got an incredible new role or opportunity and all anyone asked you is when someone else was going to come in? When someone else can share your spotlight? Why you're taking on roles that aren't also taking on someone else? If all anyone did was relate and compare this project and cast to your past projects and casts?

Let actors operate independently of the entity you've created out of certain roles of theirs and their costars. Most actors will have an iconic role and an iconic cast they've been part of, but its incredibly fucking important not to let that become a blockade against future opportunities.

(Because actually, yes, it can in fact be bad for an actor's career to be 'deadbolted' to a certain role or type of role. Many directors and creative operatives in the film industry have talked about not casting actors because they can't envision them or see them being accepted as anything other than [example role.] This is called a coffin role.)

Blog Rules

General Interactions

While this blog does not have an overall DNI, it is important to note that I, the creator, do not condone asks, replies, reblogs, comments, and all other interactions with racist, homophobic, violent or other negative intentions. All such interactions will be to the best of my ability removed, blocked and reported. Discussions about these in a fandom capacity are encouraged, however, wherein the intent is to draw light to the prevalence of them in fandom space or to challenge them.

Anonymous asks are enabled but will be disabled if frequently abused. Hiding behind anonymous protections for the purposes of harassment, threats, cowardice and escaping consequences of your own statements will not be tolerated and will result in the anonymous feature being revoked.

Asks, replies or discussion prompts sent in with the sole aim of being aggressive, targeting someone, harassing someone, inciting a dogpile on someone and so forth will, as above, be removed, refused, blocked and reported. This is up to the sole discretion of I, the creator.

Limitations and Restrictions

While this blog is open to people of all ages, please note that discussions revolving around topics such as sex, sexuality, LGBT+ themes, violence, death, gore and other topics will be present.

This will not include roleplaying of, creative writing of or discussions made with intent to arouse or generate sexual response. The above topics are discussed only in an analytical, critical-thinking manner.

As such, all users consuming the content of this blog are encouraged to self-reflect and self-evaluate and determine of their own volition if they are mentally sound and aware enough to be present. Users are encouraged to consult the blog's tag navigation list and pre-emptively block any tags and topics that they are not ready for or that will trigger them.

I am not responsible for you failing to curate your online space, failing to take measures to protect yourself from exposure to unwanted content or failing to take autonomy for your own actions.

I will give you the resources to do all of the above; warning statements, clear-cut tagging systems, ect. The rest is on you.

Actually I do think if you tag a ship in the relationships tag but its only vaguely, minimally implied or is only present for half a line you do deserve to have your WIPs disappear forever without possibility of recovery.

This is a PSA that you cannot promote blocking people or announce whenever you block someone because they're ~wrong~ then turn around and mock or harass people because, shocker, they blocked you.

If you're an anti, you can't go after proshippers for blocking you and curating their own space the way you do.

If you're into a certain character or ship, you can't mock the people who aren't who block you so they don't have to see your content and so you can't see theirs to attack it.

Its pathetic. Its hypocritical. Its just a blatant announcement of the fact that you think you have the inherent right to target people and engage with someone against their wishes based on your personal views. If someone did that to you you'd be the first to cry foul and start a witch hunt.

Let. People. Curate. Their. Own. Online. Spaces.

With or without you.

Blocking and the right to block and not see content or engage with someone goes both ways.
