So Basically, The Proship Vs Antiship Drama Boils Down To Proshippers Saying Fiction Is Fiction, And

so basically, the proship vs antiship Drama boils down to proshippers saying fiction is fiction, and even if you ship something that would, in real life, be really fucked up, since it's just fiction, it doesn't really matter

whereas antis insist that shipping anything that would be fucked up in real life (minors/adults, incest, etc) then you support that thing in real life and you're a Bad Person (and you should die)

it's honestly not much deeper than that, despite that fact that i could probably go on about it forever. one side says 'fiction is fiction, and as long as you tag properly, do whatever' and the other is sending death threats and accusing people of being pedophiles because they shipped the wrong ship (<- the way antis throw around the word pedophile is infuriating)

(if it was not obvious, i'm firmly against antis, even if i don't consider myself proship)

i do kinda get where antis come from, at least when you just take their arguments in a vacuum, but i've personally seen too much vitriol to ever give an anti the benefit of the doubt. like. people have died because of anti harassment. there's so many horror stories, and it's Not pretty

uh, basically that's it! hope that helped explain it?

Thanks! This helps a lot. I would like to see the other side of the argument as well, just to get the full picture. But as it is, the other side doesn't sound all that pleasant.

I cannot condone threats and stuff, and over something as mundane as fiction characters? I'm honestly gonna try and avoid this whole thing where I can, but I'm terrified that it'll come up again when I can't avoid it.

HELP

MY ASSIGNED ANALOG HORROR SERIES IS PENIS FILES

Every single odd number has an “e” in it.

dick grayson in fanon: sweet silly older brother, pretty but stupid, favourite child, happy robin, basically batman 2.0 but a nice person, his brothers are more skilled and could outpace him but they love him anyways, goody-two-shoes, good relationship with batman, responsible eldest child, mentally stable and supportive

dick grayson in canon:

became robin so he wouldnt commit first degree murder

like all of his appearances young justice season 1 are about how hes a maniac and a genius

leader and strategist of the teen titans

actually Murdered the joker

considered an equal by the worlds most dangerous and deadly mercenary

was literally fired by batman and only really continued working w him because of jason and babs

managed to keep up with angsty new-to-the-job batman

has had so many arguments with bruce its a miracle he hasnt cut him off forever (hes tried though)

can take down the entire teen titans if he wanted despite being the only one of them with no superpowers/abilities

was the definition of angsty teenager

inherits his insane paranoia from bruce

a thread away from breaking the no-kill rule, give him a rest

hes literally feral guys i mean cmon

Before I say anything else, this is a freaking awesome piece of art right here. I love it!

Now. I mainly write sympathetic! Nightmare's Gang. And I don't tend to look all that favorably on Dream. While I'm fairly certain that what Dream sees in the last panel is reality, I can't help but see it both ways.

There's a Dream who sees the terrified face of the brother he lost, who thinks he's hurting his brother again. When, in reality, Nightmare is far from that little kid, someone who hurts others without remorse because he himself once suffered.

There's also a Dream that refuses to acknowledge that Nightmare is still his brother, and still terrified of being hurt. But Dream can't see beyond the negative actions his brother took during the Apple Incident and needs to see him as the villain to justify his own actions.

There's also the possibility of both, Nightmare still being terrified of being hurt, but covering up his emotions before Dream can really piece it together. Just hiding his fear, as he's supposed to be better, stronger, than what he was back at the village.

Trauma…

Time to unlock some of my lore!

I know only the basics about fabrics because I was working on sewing a historically accurate outfit from the 18th century. Due to my somewhat limited experience with that, I won't be talking about it.

I will, instead, talk about acrylic yarn and why it sucks.

I crochet. For fun, occasionally for profit. Which means I am very familiar with yarn. I was actually gifted some very colorful acrylic yarn some years ago from different people when I was in the height of my crocheting hyperfixation.

The colors were lovely, but the texture was awful. I don't use a crocheting ring when working because I've always found them a hair unpractical. Due to this, yarn tension is dictated by my bare finger. Acrylic is... scratchier? Might be the word for it, than any other yarn I've worked with. It stays in my closet for that reason alone.

At least one person has told me that I shouldn't use it because it melts too easily. I have a couple of crochet potholders and see how this could be a problem. I have never actually tested out its melting capabilities, but I can only assume it sucks.

And on top of all that, it isn't even practical for my favorite things to make! I like making stuffed animals. Little crochet creatures. Most are of a snugglable size. You could cuddle it in your sleep. Very soft and nice. Acrylic yarns absorb odors and moisture more than other yarns. And the texture's awful.

You can't make creatures, you can't make clothes, you can't make freaking potholders! And it's bad for the environment!

Natural yarns can be really soft and my favorite one is dyed red and I no longer remember where it came from. It's color is just a bit darker than the acrylic red yarn that stares at me from the depths of my closet. That is because I required a darker red, nothing to do with the yarn type. Regardless, I've never felt an acrylic yarn get anywhere near as soft as my nice, soft, red yarn for making little scarves for my creatures.

I’m sorry, but aren’t we collectively tired of all our clothes being made of polyester?
