notes:

i find all* of the examples of ships under the MSPAbooru. i am not affiliated with any of the artists reblogged/reposted. do not harass them if i repost/reblog their work

i will post uncomfortable stuff that you may not want to see. before following this blog you might want to block such tags as [#blood, #gore, #incest, #epilepsy warning, #decapitation, #age discrepancy, #impalement, #cannibalism, #drug use / #smoking / #alcohol] for substance triggers, or [#eyesquick] for eye related body horror

i appologize to all the june lovers out there. im sorry. its easier to find things under the john_egbert tag. i will look for her in requests if asked

*see "#special case not on booru"

"#various" for various things

"#not ship art" for where i couldnt find any example and just found a platonic pairing (before you ask, morailiegence is NOT platonic! why does everyone say that? "dOnT tAg My MeOwRaIlS aS sHiP aRT!" dawg YOU were the one to call it meowrails!!! smh) ...anyways yeah

"#og post" for my musings

hello dks I'm back again

I'm not sure if you answered my other ask (the one about you being a troll)

and while I still stand by this

I have to say that you have introduced me to ships I've never thought about

both in a positive and negative light

It's all about the imagination beyond two doll characters kissing. Personalities clashing, similar goals or circumstances the characters went through, characters having sympathy or empathy about certain morals, the possibilities are endless.

whats the dave over thing?

A Dave/Equius fanfic from an alternate timeline. It was written by Andrew Hussie, so it's questionable if it is canon or not.

[frafworks]

Hey everyone! While our Tech Wizards are finishing up the big site update, a little gift:

We heard you. You're mad that your favorite ship didn't get a username easter egg. So we added 100+ new ones. But be prepared when leaving the bounds of canon, things get... unpredictable.

not dead, just taking an involuntary breather (i dont have time to search the booru because of papers i need to write, irl obligations, and work (yes, i AM employed. your job application jumpscares dont work on me))

[davekat-sucks-deactivated202603]

One thing that always irks me is the intentional waste that happened to the kismesis dynamic in Homestuck.

Initially, it was portrayed as a strong rivalry between two trolls in which they sabotage the other to strengthen each other. These dynamics can be very unstable, and so an auspistice is often necessary. We see this with Tavros, and Vriska; Dualscar, and Mindfang; and Eridan's advances towards Sollux.

But later on, we see that humans are able to have blackrom feelings. John and Terezi have blackrom feelings for each other at the end, and it is portrayed as just when two people hate each other, but are actually in love. It reduces the kismesis dynamic to a bland relationship trope where couples argue but are "totally in love." We literally see characters killing each other as a result of unstable kismesissitudes. It was explicitly stated that humans don't understand these feelings, so it definitely wasn't originally intended. It doesn't help that we have no good canon blackrom endgame ships. Perhaps blackrom Vrisrezi should've become canon, transforming a destructive rivalry into a healthy one. Of course, character development would be necessary for this to happen, but that just makes it even better. (It would have certainly been better than redrom and pale Vrisrezi.)

I get why Hussie did this. He wanted to show that the violent culture of the trolls is all based on baseless social constructs that were bad for the development of the trolls as people. (Personally, I think that he did a bad job at this because the hemospectrum is real no matter how much the story tries to deny it.) But this didn't need to happen, and it feels like wasted potential. Especially to me who likes shipping.

(though this example is with aradiabot)

[pastabaguette]

this was not really ship art man sorry

[homestuck-shipping]

sorry.

ill get that changed on the booru side of things asap

[homestuck-shipping]

yet another SPECIAL CASE. for some reason, even outside of the booru and probably on tumblr and also the internet as a whole, i cant find any actual examples of miracle whip with aradiabot. HOWEVER, i did find this solo comic of them hanging out platonically. i have no idea if this is how their dynamic would be, but i liked it

artist: rydellk (og source is dead so have the booru link. if it wasnt dead youd better believe id reblog)

saying again: this post is not miracle whip. this is a platonic interaction
