WELCOME TO SHIP-TALK
ASKS: OPEN SUBMISSIONS: OPEN ABOUT + RULES + FAQ UNDER READ MORE:
ABOUT -
This is a blog where I'll be analyzing ships, so literally shiptalking lol Everything is properly tagged and organized, so you shouldn't have much trouble navigating and finding your way around here ^^ I needed somewhere I could yap about the things I'm into without talking my friend's ears off, so I made a blog about it.
I'm big into organizing and listing things, and I really like thinking about all the possibilities of fictional relationships - my goal here is to share my thoughts about and analyze ships from the media I'm into. Don't expect constant or frequent posts, as I am a very very busy college student, but I'll try my best to post whenever I can :)
RULES - I will discuss and talk about pretty much every possible major ship from a specific media. Yes. It's almost every possible ship. This includes ships considered "problematic", "immoral" or "illegal" in any capacity. If that makes you weirded out or uncomfortable in any way, feel free to block or mute specific tags related to the content you do not want to see. Content warning for:
Mentions of abuse and violence
Toxic, unhealthy and codependent relationships
Fictional incest/pedophilia/etc.
Mentions of SH and illnesses (eating disorders, for example)
Canonical character death
Canon divergence
And possibly more. All of it will be properly tagged. Not all of the ships I analyze or talk about will necessarily be romantic or sexual in nature - I could analyze a ship as platonic, familial etc. But that doesn't mean it's the only possible perspective or interpretation of that ship - Those are just my thoughts. If you have diverging thoughts or want to add something to what I said, feel free to send an ask! This should be a given, but I feel like i need to outwardly state it: I do not condone, approve of or encourage any of the relationships considered toxic or problematic listed on this blog in real life. I will be talking, speculating and analyzing fictional relationships and fictional relationships ONLY. Emphasis on the fiction, here. This blog does not have a DNI list. However, if you are hateful, disrespectful or otherwise just rude towards me or other people, you will be blocked and ignored. Asks and submissions are okay! You can yap about the ships you like - Any headcanons or thoughts you have about them, things you like about them, etc. Pretty much everything is fair game, however, i will refrain from posting asks that are too negative or otherwise just rude towards other ships. Here are some examples of asks I will avoid posting:
"I hate X ship so much, It's gross"
"Anyone who ships X and Y are in need of serious help"
"X shippers are so annoying!"
"My favorite ship is X which is soo much better than ship Y in every way"
etc.
I also will not be publishing asks that contain disturbing or graphic descriptions or images, and you will likely be blacklisted from this blog. This includes real life images or descriptions of gore and abuse, death threats and violence.
Extra thing i would like to mention - My goal here is to analyze ships critically, giving my own opinion about them and whether they work or not, how they work, etc. I will try to be as fair as possible with my analysis, and will still talk about ships I don't particularly like or care about. However, I will try my best to stay civil about it and won't hate on any of the ships discussed here. I still have the right to have my own opinions about it, though.
Another thing, I will mostly only talk about ships from the media I'm into, and avoid talking about ships from media I have no knowledge about or interest in. FAQ -

Q. Who are you? A. You can call me Nate (he/it pronouns only) I am an adult
Q. What is your main blog? A. I'd rather not share it for safety reasons
Q. Can I DM you? A. Sure! It might take me a little while to reply, though
Q. Don't you have anything better to do? A. Yes. However. I need. To make lists. And analyze things.

Q. Are you a Proshipper? A. I mean, I do believe in not harassing people for their fictional preferences, so I guess??
Q. What is the purpose of this blog? A. It makes me sad to see how negative fandom has become. Everyone focuses on the things they hate and instead of focusing on the things they love, people tend to spread hate and turn on each other for no reason. I just wanted to shed some light on ships that are either under explored, overshadowed, forgotten or have their tags filled with hate posts. I hate feeling like I'm alone in fandom spaces and I don't want people to feel that way either.
Q. Is Togekiss your favorite Pokémon? A. It's one of my favorites, yeah :)
