Close up

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.

Doesn’t "proshipper" just mean "ships character from media"? How is there a derogatory term for that? What where the circumstances under which it came up and gained popularity?

[belovedhades]

proship is usually used irt ships that are deemed "problematic" usually stuff like incest (canon or implied), big age gaps, unbalanced power dynamics, abuser/victim pairings and stuff like that

[leo-fie]

God forbit someone enjoy fiction!

Seriously, the difference between fiction and reality has been lost in some parts of english speaking fandom culture. I get that some forms of fiction make you uncomfortable, because some forms of fiction make me very uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean they are immoral to produce or consume.

[blurrymango]

Proshipper actually just means "anti censorship and anti harassment" actually. But yeah.

[switch-up-snowfox]

Honestly the definition just depends on who you're talking too because anti's (as they call themselves) adore spouting deluded nonsense about what their opponents believe.

You are watching a puppet show

[goblinwithartsupplies]

For actual clarity proship is pro as in opposition to anti. Like pro choice or pro gun (random common examples don’t bring irl politics here).

the anti shipping community says it’s short for problematic but if you go back to the origins in the X-files fandom it’s: “proship want main characters together” “antiship want main characters to remain friends and coworkers and not be romantic.”

The MODERN antishipping community originates from the Sheith vs Klance ship war.

Fans assumed all the paladins of Voltron were teens as the original Netflix description described them as a group of teens.

At a con during the after the first season Shiro’s voice actor said Shiro was 25. That wasn’t a writer or show runner but a voice actor. Later made canon if I remember right.

Klance shippers used that as ammunition against Sheith shippers. Saying Keith was 16 so it was illegal. So obviously Klance is morally superior because they’re both minors 🙄. Baby’s first fandom activity.

Later its revealed that Keith was 18 in the first season and Lance is 17. The Klance shippers don’t care and still say Shieth is still illegal. Which yeah irl that’s hella suspect but again they’re fictional characters.

They did that with other ships too: “Pidge is 14 you can’t ship her with a 17 year old!” Pidge is established as 15 in season 1. A 2 year age gap isn’t that bad and again fiction.

So on and so forth until The Klance shippers basically ran any ship that got in the way of Klance off of tumblr and Voltron fandom spaces. After Voltron ended and the fans moved on they dispersed into new fandoms spreading the same thing about ages and being “gross and toxic” to “ship sibling” coded characters, and the characters are just best friends. Except now a majority of them don’t even realize it steamed as a way to win a ship war.

So of course a lot of newer and younger fans are taking everything at face value and act like liking fictional crimes means you support it happening in real life. But only sex related ones. Even if they’re not actually a crime like “pseudo incest because they’re found family”.

Basically, the reason modern fandom sucks is we’re still stuck in the Voltron fandom.

my friend asked me to draw Isolde and i watched too much elisabeth

[emolgana]

anyone else worry that you’re walking around life as the mii on the right

[bluesapph]

Evangeline in my silly witch AU (and out of context scribbles)

She is an old witch who people seek out for help (a little too much for her liking)

Isolde and her share the same magic type while Trista is cursed hehe get it*gets shot* with dark magic that's rare and dangerous when left unchecked

Evangeline was afraid of this magic so she neglected Trista a lot so their relationship is strained until the events of Trista´s hunt by the local villagers she is speedrunning mother of the year at that point

She is the biggest isokania shipper and plays the wingwoman for Isolde until Trista ruins their relationship

Eventually, she ends up having a little love affair with a local blind doctor totally not Dores when a plague starts killing everything in the kingdom and the two work together to find a cure
