...realizing that the BookTok girlies, guys, etc had it right.
Yes, that dark romance is hot. Yes, it is alluring that that man is stalking his ex. Oh, that man has known that girl since she was born and he was a teen at the time of her birth? That is so sexy. They are so fuckin' real for that.
And relating to that FunkyFrog video, yes, what you like in fiction DOES NOT mean you want it in reality.
That's why the heaviest dynamic you find so toxicyaoic is generic slight enemies to lovers? That's why you hate on actual fujoshis and himejoshis? That's why you hate on killing stalking, bj Alex, jinx, I adore you teacher, lilith and citrus fans? That's why you harass those who participate in these fandoms and create something inspired by it? That's why you police other people's interests and hobbies 24/7?
If you don't mind, can I ask for headcanon requests, pls?
Headcanons for both pairs with Kai: Kai x Tigress and Kai x Veruca. Or you can choose only the first if you have some difficulties with the second xD
I don't do requests but I have an idea or two!
Kai x Tigress
Obviously he calls her "Kitten".
Kai will act more laid back and less stringent about missions just so Tigress will be annoyed with him. She'll get onto him about not taking things seriously, all while he just smirks down at her.
He loves to tease her; she makes it easy for him.
He will not hesitate to mock Oogway in front of her, just to make her angry- he's a jerk, and besides, who better to mock him than his own brother?
Fun fact! Tigers don't purr- but bovines do, in a way. Tigers do chuff, though.
One thing Tigress can respect about him: he was a great general and warrior. There are things Kai doesn't mind teaching her, and she's willing to learn from him.
No one at first knew they had something going on- both of them are very subtle about it, not the types for being "mushy".
I don't know what the context would be, but I can see Kai talking to her, his face just blank and serious, Tigress glaring up at him as he flicks her ear, just playing with it. Just...he's so horrible.
I don't think Spirit Warriors sleep. I can see Tigress sleeping while Kai watches her- not in a creepy way, but a sweet way, a way he never looks at anyone else, or even her, when she's awake. His expression softens somewhat, almost into one of longing; just seeing her so relaxed, breathing softly, makes him feel a sense of contentment he hasn't known in a long time; but he's always gone by morning. No one has to know.
But one thing they have in common: both are surprisingly good with kids! It shocks everyone even more to see Kai with a lot of kids crawling all over him, and that he's actually nice to them. There may have been a joke or two directed at him and Tigress, asking when they're going to adopt.
Kai x Veruca
He calls her "Little Weasel".
She calls him "Bully-Wully" or "Beastie".
He doesn't pretend to understand most of her British lingo and doesn't hesitate to make fun of it- he's a jerk, of course he would.
Veruca would flail all dramatically in his arms like in those old romance novellas just to annoy him.
She's really interested in his "magic"- she constantly asks him how he collects chi the way he does, praising him for the technique and stroking his ego- but Kai knows better than to tell her anything besides surface-level basics, no matter how she might press; she's a big enough threat already, no need to give her the method of acquiring her own jombie army.
If particularly miffed with him she will not hesitate to grab one of his ears and pull him down to her level. Very painful for Kai, very satisfying for her.
Kai on his end can easily just...pick her up by her scruff and hold her at arm's length, chuckling to himself as she tries to kick or scratch him. (He does it to Klaus alot too).
Veruca will sometimes drape herself over Kai's boulder shoulders like a stole.
Also climbs his horns like a jungle gym (or a ladder to get things).
Helps her bully her brother. Kai, being Kai, his teasing is much more darker and mean-spirited; when he goes too far, that's usually when Veruca grabs his ear and starts shrieking at him. Only she is allowed to be mean to her baby brother!
Honestly it's an extremely toxic relationship, because neither of them really trust each other (and they shouldn't).
Veruca probably pretends to flirt with other guys to watch Kai get all jealous. When Kai has an outburst and turns the guy into a jade pendant, that's when Veruca starts mock fawning over him, all "Awwww Bully-Wully! I knew you cared~!" Which of course makes Kai more angry than anything (which was her goal).
You know they're Real OTPs when you work so hard to make stuff for them despite knowing nobody will care except maybe two other people and YOU DON'T CARE THE NEED TO CREATE SOMETHING ABOUT THEM IT'S STRONGER THAN LONELINESS GRAAAAHHH
You are all going to block me but I just realised that I do low-key ship Aether/Lumine.
Hear me out.
It's the plot of so many myths. The best known is, of course, Izanami and Izanagi's story (the whole reason why siblingcest is so popular in Japan. same level of cultural importance as the madonna/whore complex for Christians), but there are also Fu Xi and Nuwa, Sun and Moon gods of the Inuit mythology, a bunch of Greek gods, a bunch of Egyptian gods too iirc.
Old cultures that had god-kings (some dynasties in Egypt and, as we discovered recently, Ancient Ireland) considered marriages between siblings a norm for them specifically and something to be frowned upon or at least unusual for everyone else.
You can't convince me the twins were not god-rulers in some faraway world (they also found it so boring that they don't do it anymore. actually, I'll stand by this headcanon even without shipping them).
Celestial beings that already are one and the same in some sense. Twin stars.
The symbolism just does something to me.
I wish I could say this is not about boring human sex (they are interstellar eldritch beings anyway. merge your photons my funky little sibcons, as Ray says) but nope, I think their interactions can easily take the form of boring human sex too.
(it's just not the main thing they have going on)
I'll show myself out.
P.S. there's also a bonus: all Traveler ships are now threesomes
Fiction ≠ reality and fiction CAN impact reality are two statements that can and should co-exist. I am a SHIP AND LET SHIP and YOUR KINK IS NOT MY KINK AND THATS OKAY anti-harassment proshipper as much as the next proshipper, but there is some nuance that can get lost through years old discourse.
Antis believe whole heartedly that one can’t exist, which they do use fiction to influence reality by justifying the abuse and indoctrination of others to save the valor of the pixels on screen, never minding the fact that they are perpetuating real harm to victims and minors alike. Antis have told victims that they hope they relive their trauma, no matter what the trauma is (even if it’s CSA). They use fiction to influence reality, absolutely discrediting what Proshippers stand for and even bastardizing the original meaning of proship (which means anti harassment, ship what you want) to “problematic ship” when a lot of proshippers are uncomfortable with themes that are dark in nature.
I’ve also seen where proshippers themselves, the no-limits proshippers, justify writing and drawing RPF of irl minors or perpetrate real bigotry/real propaganda with the whole “fiction ≠ reality” which can be a dangerous argument in itself.
These are thankfully few and far between because most rational people can attest that this is bad and not a thing that should happen.
Basically the nuance is fiction can influence reality when it does. Writing and drawing an incest or underage ship from an anime doesn’t fall into this category. Ship and let ship & YKINMKATO doesn’t fall into this category, most of the time, unless these things are genuinely harmful such as someone using fiction to justify irl bigotry or to sexualize irl minors. The key word is “irl” as well
It takes a dumb person to think fiction is reality and it also takes an equally dumb person to lose the nuance in these kinds of arguments, i say as someone who does enjoy dark fic and dark ship (in regards to the dove is dead an rotting for me)
i have been searching through the trenches for other kfp proshippers and i have at last found your blog after traveling from twitter to tumblr, how are you doing alice lol
Hello!
I'm feeling pretty great if you mean this, heh ^^
I'm not active on Tumblr for now, mostly I'm active in Twitter.
I don't know if I can consider myself as proshipper, since now I'm totally focused on such ships as Kai x Po, since they're confirmed as toxic yaoi ship, but still.
