Hii, I hope you don't mind me asking you this, but I'm kiiiinda hoping you might know this haha. So I've been in Trigun fandom in and out for years, though never interacted with the people inside of it. I know the whole VK / KV tagging etiquette, however I've lately noticed people getting quite upset/heated in regards to those who tag their posts as both KV and Plantcest or VK and Plantcest, demanding to just use either Kv or Vk. To my understanding Plantcest is the general ship, regardless of top/bottom dynamics. Do you know whether that is correct to assume, or is there more to it that I'm missing? Thanks in advance! 🌱💙 (P.s. apologies for the long ask...🤭 have a great one!)
Nooo! It's totally fine, you don't have to apologize for that! Please do ask for anything you need!!! 🤗
So, as far as I know and from what I have interacted with, the KV and VK are about the dynamics as you say and the Plantcest is for the general ship but there really isn't any issue with the shippers, so I'm not familiar with this discourse (yet?).
⚠️ However; I must inform you—and anyone else that is interested—that Plantcest is not exclusive to the twins! There are Sisters xVash or SistersxKnives works out there and those are Plantcest as well. ⚠️
So this is one umbrella tag for all plants within the series. That, in itself is more of a reason to tag the specific dynamics but it's also not a reason to not use the tag. I follow the Plantcest tag because I like both dynamics, so it doesn't make sense for people to oppose it, you know?
As for whether someone can tag them reversi? Sure! We also have the KVK tag, where either one twin can be top. I haven't really checked this one here on tumblr, in all honesty, because pretty much everyone tags them as Plantcest. LOL
But, yeah... Those that ask for that kind of specific tagging are probably (?) not shippers who want to cause trouble or are too niche in their shipping and just want to be dramatic about it—Hey! Pst! If you are one of those people, just follow your favorite tag and block the dynamic you don't like! It's easy! I can even give you directions!!! 😗
On the other hand, though, if this is by the antis to cause trouble, with all due disrespect: Go do something else for fun. 🥶
Thank you for the ask and, again, feel free to drop by if you need anything! I hope this cleared a few things, though I'm not sure what? I'm kinda curious now, though~ I haven't really encountered it in my circles and I would really like someone who knows more about the "whys and hows" this came to be, to elaborate? 🤔 (BTW, yes. This is an invitation to interact with this post if you know anything!)
edit: Forgot to mention because it is a given in most other fandoms, but Trigun suffers from this: PLEASE, TAG DYNAMICS TO NSFW WORKS, ALWAYS!!!
