Hot take: if a shared RP/server has already agreed on which ships are canon to that continuity, constantly posting competing ship content in the communal space is rude. Not illegal or problematic, just rude.

And before somebody inevitably goes: “you don’t own canon characters ☝️🤓”

correct. I don’t.

People can multiship privately all they want. BUT!!! collaborative storytelling still runs on mutual respect and shared expectations. If the agreed dynamic in a server is: Character A is with Character B, and one person keeps repeatedly introducing:

“but what if MY OC had them instead 👀”

jealousy arcs nobody asked for

longing content about someone else’s established partner

alternate ship edits/images in the main shared space

endless reworded versions of the same proposal after disinterest has already been shown

eventually it stops feeling less like harmless creativity and more like low-level boundary pushing.

Especially when every single “alternative” somehow conveniently requires the exact ship I actually wanted to be dismantled first. That’s the part that gets me. Because after a while it stops sounding like: “I just enjoy exploring dynamics!” and starts sounding like: “Can your character please move so mine can have this canon love interest instead?”

Some fandom people genuinely approach shipping like a musical chairs tournament where every canon love interest is communal property that should be redistributed periodically so everyone gets “a turn.”

I do not.

I like continuity. I like emotional consistency. I like relationships that actually mean something to the characters instead of getting swapped around every other AU because someone got bored.

And honestly? If your OC cannot exist in a setting without repeatedly being inserted into someone else’s established relationship dynamic, maybe the issue is not that other writers are “hogging” characters.

Maybe your character needs stronger independent narrative footing.

Also: my characters are not lonely. They already HAVE partners. Please stop acting like canon love interests are emotional support bicycles for the communal RP village.

[pogueprinc3ss]

I think some fandom people genuinely do not understand the difference between “you can do whatever you want privately in your own AUs” and “I do not want to participate in an RP dynamic where my established ship is constantly being renegotiated.”

Those are not the same statement.

I am not trying to “claim” a canon character. I am saying that if we are writing in a shared continuity where certain relationships are already established, repeatedly trying to:

reassign those characters romantically,

introduce competing ships,

push jealousy arcs nobody asked for,

or continuously reframe the same proposal after disinterest has already been expressed

gets exhausting.

Some people treat fandom like an infinite romantic sandbox or a cursed square dance where everyone swaps partners every few universes and nobody is supposed to care. Some of us are writing relationships that are emotionally foundational to the characters themselves. And frankly, I am tired of people acting like boundaries in collaborative storytelling are somehow controlling or unreasonable.

Which also means: if a shared RP/server has already established certain ships as the continuity being honored in that space, repeatedly posting conflicting ship content into the communal area starts feeling disrespectful after a while. Not because alternate ships are morally wrong. Not because people can’t multiship privately. But because collaborative spaces function on shared understandings.

If everyone already agreed: “this is the established relationship dynamic for this continuity,”

then repeatedly introducing competing ship material into that same space creates an uncomfortable undercurrent of “okay, but what if we replaced this relationship instead?”

And after enough repetition, it starts feeling less like harmless creativity and more like someone persistently testing whether the established dynamic is actually stable or negotiable. That is especially true when the conflicting content revolves around:

longing for someone else’s established partner,

jealousy toward the canon relationship,

“what if they were together instead” scenarios,

or alternate pairings that directly destabilize the agreed emotional structure of the shared universe.

At that point, it’s no longer just private imagination. It’s being inserted into a collaborative environment where other people are already emotionally invested in a different established continuity. And frankly, I think people underestimate how important respect and consent are in collaborative storytelling.

“Hey, I don’t want to write this dynamic” should not be treated like an invitation to keep searching for a loophole, a softer phrasing, or a workaround.

No one is obligated to participate in every AU idea equally. No one is obligated to emotionally detach from ships they’ve spent years building just because someone else wants to experiment with alternate pairings.

Also, no, my characters are not “lonely” without alternate ships. They already HAVE relationships. Please stop acting like canon love interests are communal emotional support bicycles to be redistributed for fairness.

kiara feels like they're right back where they were two years ago and no where is safe. they had finally put down roots, built something real and stable for themselves — turned the old maybank junker into a home, something that they all desperately needed. they'd put their blood, sweat and tears into it over the past eighteen months only for it all to be snatched away with one signature from luke maybank and a dirty ploy from the kooks. somehow, neither of those things surprised her.

she sighs, hand rubbing at her hairline anxiously. "yeah, you're right." no future. she can practically hear her parents saying i told you so. her teeth gnaw at the inside of her cheek, a million and one thoughts going through her mind and none of them do anything to ease the sinking feeling in her stomach. "i hate that this shit keeps happening to us. like... we keep bouncing back, but how much more of that do we have in us?" kiara knows they're all scrappy — they'll go down swinging if they have to, fight tooth and nail to save their home. but taking hit after hit is getting old — getting exhausting. she knows she can't be the only one feeling the weight of it.

she tries to find reassurance in sarah's words and even offers her a small smile in return. "okay, but if shit gets out of hand you can't try to be a hero. i know we need the money — there's no questioning that. but we have to keep perspective too. it's not worth it if we're putting ourselves at risk — or the little nugget." she tilts her head, pointedly looking at sarah's still flat stomach.

[pogueprinc3ss]

sarah let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding, her fingers tightening momentarily on the edge of the counter before she turned to face kie fully. there was something grounding in her voice, the way she could take all the chaos swirling around them and strip it down to something simple—something real.

'you’re not wrong, kie. it’s like… just when we think we’re out, they pull us right back in.' her laugh was short, dry, without humor, but her gaze softened when it landed on her friend. 'but here’s the thing—we do bounce back. every single time. and yeah, it’s exhausting. but it’s who we are. it’s what makes us pogues. we take the hits, and we keep going, even when it feels like we shouldn’t be able to.'

she hesitated for a second, her hand brushing lightly over her stomach as if to steady herself. 'and i know you’re worried about me. about… all of this,' she said, tilting her head slightly and giving a small, knowing smile. 'but you don’t need to, okay? i’m not gonna do anything stupid.' she met kie’s eyes, her voice low but firm. 'i promise.'

sarah took a step closer, the faintest trace of a grin creeping back into her expression as she nudged kie’s shoulder lightly. "besides, when have i ever not had perspective?' she teased, though the edge of sarcasm in her voice couldn’t quite mask the sincerity behind it.

'we’ll figure this out. all of it. together.' her tone softened, her smile warmer now especially at the sound of 'little nugget'. "i mean, we’ve already got the scrappy part down. the kooks don’t stand a chance."

[jayje]

It was just as JJ had expected. Sarah was matching his energy, playing off his lighthearted banter with her own. She'd always been a bit of a spitfire, someone to walk to the beat of her own drum. It was why she fit in with the Pogue's as well as she did. They didn't follow a crowd or bend to anyone's will, and they didn't care to fit inside a box for what people expected of them. Which, really . . . was usually nothing. ❝ I'm digging the confidence. Keep that energy up, sailor. ❞

Once Sarah straddled the bike and got seated securely behind him, her arms around his waist to keep herself steady, JJ began to grin at the threatening words being giggled in his ear. ❝ Where we're goin', I think you'll find that won't be a problem. Hold on tight. ❞ After making sure that Sarah was ready, he put the motorcycle into motion and took off towards the destination he had in mind. With a passenger, he was always a little more careful about staying on paths and avoiding doing tricks, but he did cut through a few areas that he knew to be safe to shorten the drive there.

Upon arrival, JJ dismounted his motorcycle and held out his hand to help Sarah do the same, even while knowing that she was fully capable of doing it on her own. ❝ Just up this hill now. Now, you might be wonderin' why I didn't just drive us to the top. It's 'cause what we're gonna do next, you're not gonna wanna make the climb back up after. Trust me. ❞

[pogueprinc3ss]

sarah liked the excitement of being on the motorcycle with him, the cool breeze in her face and twisting her honey golden waves around. she's always been up for a little mischief, someone who liked to test boundaries and see what fun she could make out of it, so it only felt natural to live with an open heart and lean into adventure.

she laughed softly, shaking her head as she slipped off the bike with a little help from jj—though she was quick to shoot him a teasing look as she did. 'what, you think i can’t handle a hill? i didn’t realize i was riding with such a gentleman,' she quipped, brushing her hair out of her face as her feet hit the ground.

her gaze flicked up toward the incline ahead of them, her curiosity immediately piqued by his cryptic comment. 'but seriously, jj, what is this? are we hiking to some secret treasure or are you just trying to make sure i break in these shoes properly?' she asked, her grin spreading as she started forward, her steps deliberate but full of anticipation.

sarah glanced back over her shoulder as she climbed, her voice light but with a hint of a challenge. 'you know, if whatever’s waiting for me at the bottom is as good as you’re hyping it up to be, i might just forgive you for making me do the legwork. might,' she added, drawing out the last word for effect.

her adrenaline was already kicking in, a mixture of excitement and trust carrying her forward. because whatever this was—whatever jj had planned—she knew it was bound to be worth it.

[pogueprinc3ss]

right, so i went into hiding because a very terrible thing happened where i was blackmailed and my privacy violated with my loved ones being harassed by a very unhinged tumblr user who got REALLY personal to an irl stalker level because they didn't get what they wanted, but i think that's blown over so i'm here, i'm back in business and i'm doing replies right meow. i'm not afraid to be here anymore and i missed this place. thanks for being patient with me, i wouldn't have just up and left without a good reason and i felt i needed to take a step back for my personal safety .

[pogueprinc3ss]

deleted my main rp blog for my personal safety because i'm being cyberstalked by someone here and they're crossing legal and ethical lines to threaten me, my loved ones and relationships irl. stay safe in this vile, toxic community. you don't know what psychopath will come after you if they don't get their way or the lengths they'll go to. i hope this never happens to anyone else. i really don't want to delete this one because things are just starting to get good. i'm going to lay low for a few days and see what happens, but i hope things don't come to me having to delete this one too.

@pogueprinc3ss [cont from x]

there has been a sinking feeling in kiara's stomach for days now. ever since they'd stepped foot on goat island. she'd told them all she had a bad feeling about this and now... she can't help but think she was right. and not only that, but that they're just opening the door for things to get even worse. but what's their other choice? lose their home, their business? kie doesn't know what the right move is anymore, if there even is one. "yeah, i do too" she sighs, fingers combing through her hair. she glances over at sarah, eyeing her warily. "are you sure traveling is a good idea right now? you know, with your... condition." she's no expert, but she's pretty sure crossing the ocean in a shitty tuna boat with few supplies would probably be frowned upon by nine out of ten OBGYNS.

[pogueprinc3ss]

sarah met kie’s wary gaze with a faint smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. "trust me, kie, i’ve thought about it. over and over again." her voice was softer than usual, the weight of the conversation sinking in despite her best efforts to keep it light. "but ... staying here isn’t exactly a stress-free option either. it’s not like danger checks out just because i stay put."

she ran a hand over her stomach almost absently, as if she needed to remind herself of the stakes. "besides, what choice do we have? if we don’t make this work, there’s nothing left for any of us. no home, no business, no future... we have to try."

there was a beat of silence, the tension seemingly swirling around them palpable. then sarah’s smile shifted, her usual stubbornness creeping back into her tone. "i get it, you don't want me being reckless. maybe i am. but i also know we can’t just sit around waiting for something to fix itself." she glanced out toward the horizon, her expression resolute. she still had to do her part and help her friends. her loyalty wouldn't allow her to sit back in a pampered little bubble while the rest of them were out there pretty much risking it all. one thing she learned, after everything they've been through,sometimes making wild choices was necessary. "we’ve gotten through worse, haven’t we? we’ll figure this out too."

she turned back to kie, her grin softening. "and hey, if i need a pep talk halfway across the ocean, i’ll know who to call. deal?"

[jayje]

If there was anything to know about Sarah Cameron, it was that she was full of surprises. She’d proven herself a Pogue, a member of their little found family, and therefore someone JJ was willing to put his life on the line for time and time again. Kie had warmed up to her again too, which in truth had been the biggest hurdle to overcome in the first place. His smile widened at Sarah’s easy agreement, the Kook-turned-Pogue companionably referring to him as Captain JJ the same way he’d done in the past, and then he picked himself up out of the low hanging hammock. His cap was placed back atop his head, the front part spun so that it was facing towards the back instead.

❝ You wanna really shake things up? ❞ JJ asked, throwing a thumb over his shoulder in a gesture to imply that whatever his idea was, it involved going elsewhere. His ADHD typically didn't allow him to stay in one place, doing only one thing, for very long. ❝ I mean, if you’re serious about not being too prissy. I can’t have a partner in crime who can’t commit to the bit. ❞ He was beginning to slowly walk backwards while he spoke, a mischievous grin on his face painting only a vague picture of his intentions. Once he was at his bike, he would pat the seat of it: an invitation for Sarah to join him.

[pogueprinc3ss]

sarah’s smile bloomed playfully, the spark of mischief in jj’s tone immediately infectious. 'oh, come on,' she shot back, rolling her eyes in exaggerated disbelief. 'do i look like i’d back out of a bit? i think you’re forgetting who you’re talking to.' she sauntered forward, arms loosely crossed but her steps confident, matching the energy of his retreat.

the challenge was clear, and she wasn’t about to let jj of all people question her commitment. 'you’re not the only one who knows how to stir the pot, captain.' she tossed the nickname back at him, her voice dripping with playful sarcasm. 'just point me in the right direction, and i’ll show you how a real partner-in-crime gets things done.'

when he gestured to his bike, she paused for only half a second before closing the gap. 'guess i’m hitching a ride, huh?' sarah quipped, running a hand through her hair as she swung a leg over the seat with practiced ease. she settled in behind him, leaning forward just enough to add a teasing edge and a giggle. 'but if this ends with me covered in dirt, you’re washing my clothes.'

it was said with a grin and a bright sparkle in her eyes, but her tone made it clear: whatever he had planned, she was already all in.

hi everyone !!! i've had a lot going on like work etc. and volunteering at a cat rescue but once i get home and settled tonight i'll be here for replies <3

[pogueprinc3ss]

ofcrxwns asked: ❝  i’m staying.  end of discussion.  you gotta learn to let people take care of you.  ❞ (from kie)

sarah knows she's right. she's used to keeping her anxieties contained in her own mind, chaos echoing throughout her psyche under a faint smile or not asking for help when she needs it because she cares about everyone else, too ... "thanks, kie." sarah finally relaxes, allowing a softer and more vulnerable side to show. "i just don't want anyone thinking i'm being all... princessy, you know?" a hint of humor curves at the corners of dusky pink lips, a reference to her kook past. really, though, she's thankful to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about her, especially kiara. they've come so far, and she knows she can lean on her. a sweeter smile softens her tanned visage and she slips her arms around kie in a hug. "you're the best."
