⛔DNÍ if blankshíp, pro/com/darkshíp, anything similar, "proshíp neutral" (i.e. supportive/tolerant, dont block the shíp tags or shíppers, ínteract with) or like/rb/follow/friendly with either⛔
that means dní if you: bụlly, harạss, or hatestȧlk anyone, use a different label that is similar to pro/darkshípping, consider them valíd, ignore their proshíp stuff but enjoy their other work, ok with parts of what falls under proshípping* but not all, make that content for any reason, or participate in events or projects run by or allowing blank/proshíppers while i am proshíp negative, im not an antí/antíshipper. i disagree with both sides of that dichotomy^
i am ok with exceptions to: dm me for clarification, if youre running an event im trying to participate in, or when communication is necessary
dont try to debate with me. its rude, you will just be blocked
blocklist is privated untill further notice, and has been since nov 6th
it is hard to tell whos "neutral" or blank/proshíp but to the best of your knowledge is fine
the pọkemagma created by ccb allows anyone, you are drawing and chatting with blankshíppers there!
kharmií is a blankshípper and super transphobic and bigoted

about this blog 🚃🚂🚄🚅
i intend for this blog to be sfw, but there will be cussing! uncomfortable and upsetting topics will be tagged "uncomfortable stuff" and "triggering stuff"
i dont expect to draw- angst, violence, horror, edgy stuff, anything shippy. any of these will be tagged, and upsetting stuff put under readmores for good measure. i wont portray the train twins as unhinged/feral/evil. at most they will be mischievous, or just #going through it. i want this to be a safe space anyone who identifies with their neurodivergent-coded traits
i try to add image descriptions to all my art, please let me know if a description needs changing to be useful! idrk what im doing so id really appreciate it
i would like to make friends, but. please give this pin a thorough read and only dm me if you have a clear dní for blank/proshíps + neutrals. unless there is something important to discuss. dont pressure yourself to add one so you can to chat with me! and not from empty, new, or bot looking blogs, ty
i try to avoid conflict. if you think i was trying to be mean, aggressive, or start drama, it likely wasnt intentional. please consider talking to me first. i deal with a lot of mental disorganization, so i often struggle to make what i mean be clear. please be patient. i also edit this pin often bc of this, and bc people keep changing what words mean so i have to write out long definitions 🫠

*what is proshípping? the term is nebulous, some using the term for themselves claims it means anyone against harassment over fiction
in practice though, it refers to (mainly fandom)creators and fans of fiction depicting atrocious things: positively or neutrally, gratuitous/voyeurístic, near or plainly pórnographic (re: topics below that is), or otherwise portrayed without tact or merit in a further narrative. if that makes any sense.
darkshípping has been recently pushed as what this is "really" called, but that is not my experience from when the term proshípping first came up in 2015ish
examples include: pedóphillia/csa/cocsa, ràpe/sa, incèst, groomíng, abuse, sexualizing of teens/minor characters (ymmv unfortunately), zoóphillia/beàstiality (including pókemon), nècrophilia, and many types of bigotry or discrimination (in a fiction/doylist, fandom/meta context)
^i dont consider myself an antí, you can call me "proshíp negative" instead. antíshipping is a violent dumpster fire. dont lump me in with their behavior
im never ok with bullyíng or threạtening anyone
i dont think that fíction is the same as realíty (uh. duh?)
i am well aware that shíppers and anyone neutral are still people? and shouldnt be treated like criminals or that shípping is like a crime??
i dont want to control anyone (if they feel pressured, they need to find different circles. block and blacklist our urls too if that helps)
i think these ↑ behaviors are immature, cruel and "fix" nothing
i want to know who to block, and move on. to have the tools/info available to easily avoid who im uncomfortable with, and have the boundaries i state respected
its not fascíst to make a blocklist or let the community know about someones behavior so they can curate as they wish. who is lobbying the govt to ban it? ffs
you dont have to agree that im not an antí, but that ignores the limits of the labels and how their meanings keep changing over time. and it make the "discourse" extremely black and white, with straw manning
eg, proshíp used to include anyone neutral, and some blankshíppers say they arent proshíp. whats the difference there? "proshíp neutral" is a misnomer imo, favorable or positive would be more honest. or libertarían
i do think that how certain subjects are portrayed in medía and fictíon, what you engage with or make, and why, matters. we need to be able to talk about and explore horrible things. but we need to do it respectfully, not self gratification
but, just bc something isnt or shouldnt be illegal** in fiction does not mean it is absurd for anyone to find it, and those who enjoy it, offensive beyond personal taste. something can be considered morally or socially unacceptable, but not criminal
being offended or critical of media and creators has been done since media has existed! and it influences and affects us, even when we think we are too aware to be. you are not immune to propȧganda ect ect
**and waste resources urgently needed elsewhere
and i dont think "separating the art from the artist" is really possible when were all peers on the same web platform. youre giving them notes, boosting their reach and traction. its different from the one time purchases and small web forums of yesteryear
and dont assume someones doing that if they follow shíppers "clean" (for lack of a better word atm) blogs either unless they say so. a lot are supportive or friendly with them. if you dont want to be friends with follow someone like that, just ask about it!
-this part is jumbled up rn, sorry-
regardless of how you feel about proshípping, we cant keep communities catered to one side of this conflict of standards, and sweep unpleasantness and drama under rugs. harassment still isnt ok! but fandom needs to at least be navigable and curatable
you didnt use to see this discussed 10+ years ago bc fandóm pushed them away from ever participating! several long time fans of submàs against blankshípping have talked about this before. or the drama was called something else, like shipping wars and flamers. anyone, blankshípper or not, who left the fandom due to drama back then cant speak if they never came back. youre looking back at the past with rose tinted glasses and survivorship bias
ffs, incèst is the most common csà. this isnt just a notp, or petty fandom drama, and its not even about the fictional characters. its about personal character, the actions and choices someone makes
and im tired of everyone treating it like it is, when its a very common tràuma and trìgger!
a lot of fans arent ok with proshíp, anybody that doesnt want to give someone like that notes, their time, or money, still deserves to enjoy fàndom too. they should be able to get mèrch, commíssions, browse, and most importanly, befriend without worrying about giving their money or support to someone who fictíonally romantícizes a very common trauma they may have gone through, if they dont want to!
that said; unless its fake, rumor, assumption, insulting, or encouraging haràssment: "callouts" and blocklists for things that are extremely triggering and offensive are necessary. they are NOT shaming, accusations, witch hunts, ostracizing, or gossip! they are an essential TOOL to navigate fan spaces
"dont like, dont read!" right?
if accurate curating makes the ones blocked feel ostracized… idk what to say. if a lot of people want to avoid you, that IS their right? nobody is obligated to notes or acceptance of any particular person or group (in this context) theres plenty of fish in the sea. the ones who dont mind at all will support if you seek that audience at the start! be upfront and honest about it, respect others boundaries, block anyone who doesnt stay in their lane (and report, when needed). senseless stress and fighting would happen a lot less if there wasnt anything to callout about
🤚🛑tríggering descriptions bellow: íncest
… and seriously, look up why íncest is bad if youre gonna shíp it? its not just an issue of genetics
even if consènsual (and it rarely is in real life), the mental health, emotional development of, or bond between the persons involves is warped and unhealthy in some way. it is never a healthy relationship. it just does not happen in a healthy family (and surrounding environment/society ect) even if it doesnt get romantíc/sèxual, things like emotional incèst are devastating
how did a whole slew of people discussing this not know this?? i cant believe i have to point that out
tldr;
if youre a blank/proshípper and notice me or other people who try to avoid that ínteracting with your blank/proshíp "clean" blog or main: 1. block us! 2. say something in your abouts or pins on your proshípping free blogs. you can be vague but clear, say anyone who "disagrees with or dislikes proshíppers" (or if youre neutral, that) to not ínteract, or block you
you dont have to explain beyond that!
saying you like "dark" content or "deàd dove" is WAY too vague. that sounds like you enjoy horror movies ffs.
i cant speak for everyone who is not ok with shíppers; but many of us just want honest disclaimers somewhere easy to find so we can easily block and move on, and our dnís followed
Much like Springfield before it, Seattle is one of the few major cities in the world with a monorail. That, combined with a more conventional light rail system, makes Seattle the rare U.S. city with two different types of train for public transportation. On Tuesday night, the rail system briefly had a third: a Mazda CX-5.
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
"why can't they just be friends?" not in the homophobic sense, but in the "in your need to center romance in everything you are missing the whole point of the media in question" sense
Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.
something I’ve noticed in fandoms lately is a lack of… object permanence? perspective? Just reacting to each episode/chapter of something as if it’s final & whatever plot line they dislike is the status quo forever? like…… have a tiny bit of patience
I kinda understand because a lot of franchises lately have ended in shoddy and poorly thought out ways, but tbh either have some faith in your fav show or just write fanfic
this combined with people reading a boatload of fanfic between seasons then coming back to the show & getting upset that their headcanons aren’t canon… disappointment is a normal feeling but I also feel like people put themselves through unnecessary stress watching shows they clearly do not like
Tonight on My Husband Doesn’t Know How to Baby Talk
“Ma’am, are you aware that these, right here are your hands? They belong to you. And you get to decide what happens with them. So when you use these hands to pull your binky out of your mouth that is not necessarily a dad problem. I’ll fix it obviously i just want you to acknowledge it’s not my fault”
Penny Rose: Cooing as twinkle twinkle little star plays
Husband: Now Penny there is a lot of misinformation out there in the world and I hate to tell you this but the moon is in fact not made of cheese. That is a conspiracy theory pushed by Big Dairy.
No you don't get it, I'm a Good Person. You don't understand. I'm a Good Person which makes it okay for me to think violently about the Enemy, who is Bad Person. I'm commenting "you should be violently murdered" because I'm Good Person and you're Bad Person. You think saying that to someone is fucked up?? You should be violently murdered, you're probably Bad Person anyway
