Welcome to my Blog

Greetings, I’m BlueBoxBeagle, I screenshot people's tags

I am a non-denominational Christian, so I might reblog posts from various Christian sects. I am a sci-fi and fantasy nerd with lots of different interests. This is my scrapbook and I fill it with stuff I enjoy. I especially like animal art and animal AUs.

I am a daughter of Christ, mostly self taught artist and game developer, creator of multiple dog AUs, in the process of getting a space studies degree, a homeschool kid, and a chocolate lover.

You might know me as: a crusader for Christian corners of fandom, seemingly the only Boimler and T’Lyn shipper on Tumblr, the Pluto and Charon are a binary planet system person, or from that gemstone post

I am not part of the furry, therian, or essa communities. I don’t post much political stuff but when I do it is tagged “politics”. I don’t check the beliefs and opinions of every person I reblog from. I don’t post NSFW. DNIs don't work and mean nothing, sorry.

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

Capitalism this, fascist that, no wonder your brain is mush, no wonder you think all art is political, you don't seek out delight, you seek out justification for your misery

picking up my favorite characters like this and carrying them around with me

[thefloatingstone]

I think fandom would heal if a lot of these people made peace with the REAL media they yearn for but are too ashamded to admit to themselves. And if they'd just watch that instead of anything with a plot or premise.

Soap operas.

What you want is soap operas.

[thefloatingstone]

The most "piss on the poor" post I have ever made.

I am saying;

Fandom would be better if people who only care about shipping and don't give a shit about stories or plot or characters or complex relationship dynamics (including romance), or the canon, or even what the piece of media is about, would stop getting into fandom spaces for things that had interesting stories and just watched Soap Operas instead.

Because if they ONLY care about shipping.... there's an entire genre specifically JUST for that.

And it's called soap operas.

[problematic-faves-appreciation]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree with this post. Mainly because OP seems to regard shipping as contrary to complex storytelling, and "the opposite of character analysis". What's more, they think people who "only care about shipping" are, what, incapable of multitasking? People can enjoy a ship very much whilst also identifying a story's themes.

To OP, shipping is "its own thing", when in reality pairing characters together does delve into all of that. I don't have a better example, but I think this blog demonstrates that thoughtful character analysis isn't absent from shipping.

And if you ask me, maybe you should have told people to get into character-driven media in general — this includes romances, slice-of-slice anime, episodic shows (e.g., Ed Edd n Eddy), "problem of the week" storytelling (SpongeBob & Patrick are bothering Squidward again), stories like Jane Austen's Emma, etc.; not just soap operas — instead of looking down on shippers.

I'm sorry OP, but it's this kind of stuff that isn't making fandom a less toxic place.

I was researching the insanity behind the Stranger Things Season 5 finale for something as I'd never watched the show and was shocked and appalled by how some people's only investment in the show was seeing 2 of the characters get together at the end (who have never been shown to be romantic with each other in any way) and literally nothing else about the show at all. Which reminded me of the people who sent the author of MHA death threats when Bakugo and Midoriya didn't end up together at the end.... of the shounen battle manga.... aimed at teenaged boys..... about superheroes....

Which is why I took the time to distinguish THAT kind of shipping from people who actually put work and effort into writing interpersonal relationships and fleshed out romance. Which is not what I'm talking about.

I am very much separating the two.

And in my opinion the kind of shipping that these specific people do and which causes so much frustration, death threats, severe fighting and bullying, doxing and whatever else is a bizarre thing to see for shows were shallow "will the won't they" mashing dolls together is NOT the intent or focus.

Which would be one thing if it was just people enjoying fandom shipping... but I am specifically talking about people who, once again, send death threats when the ship they've attached themselves to doesn't happen in canon. Despite the canon never once indicating that it was ever going to focus on that.

Once again... I feel this sort of hyper-focus on surface level shipping is a bizarre thing to project onto a sci fi show or a battle manga or anything else along those lines. When it sounds to me that the genre these people would be happier with is something like a soap opera where that is the entire POINT of those shows.

So no. I do not regard shipping as contrary to complex storytelling, and "the opposite of character analysis".

I specifically think the opposite of that.

I made the point to indicate "don't give a shit about stories or plot or characters or complex relationship dynamics (including romance)"

I'm talking about the OTHER kind of shipping

How do you feel about driving?

I can drive, I am good at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am good at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I think I would enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I do not think I would enjoy driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I enjoyed driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I didn't enjoy it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I enjoyed it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I didn't enjoy it.

please pray for us, we have had one thing after another this past month, multiple emergency hospital and dentist visits on top of difficult health issues we're managing at home and, in what feels like the final straw, one of the kids started throwing up last night

[dragon-in-a-fez]

there's a group of high school boys in this McDonald's and I just heard one of them say "I bet you you cannae break your own arm" so something interesting might happen shortly

[fanfavoritefragrances]

is this a thing? has anyone done this yet?

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

“you cannot ship these two fictional characters because—” actually I can because they are not real people. they are just toys I play with. you cannot apply real-world morality to fiction or how strangers play with their imaginary toys in their imaginary sandboxes.

you can, however, curate your own internet experience by minding your own business, muting/blocking/scrolling past what upsets you but does not hurt anyone in real life in any way, shape or form.
