I LOVED your oneshot. Just came here to say that and congratulate my fellow Amourshipper!

THANK YOU!! I really appreciate the amount of support I got from both my fanfics and fanart I received over the past few weeks😊

I've been trying to cook up another chapter for the ongoing fic I'm doing and oneshots of my fav pair but I've had such a massive writers block for a while🥲 And it really doesn't help that college entrance exams are drawing near...

Again, thank you for the lovely comment🤍😁

I’ve alluded to a topic like this before but I feel as though the amourshipping and or the Serena fandom’s toxicity is massively exaggerated or over blown. Now obviously with these fandoms being larger than most you’re just going to have not only more but louder problematic people and the amourshipping community has had its fare amount of controversies. I think the nuance that often gets ignored is that a lot of these involved smaller but louder people and they aren’t really representatives of how the larger community acts.

I understand why some might feel some level of animosity towards amourshippers because especially during xy’s run amourshipping was an almost inescapable and a lot of people in the amourshipping fandom were very intolerable towards other ships. But as xy has ended and Serena and or amourshipping has become more divisive people have seemingly stripped every ounce of nuance and the main consensus has become amourshippers and Serena fan bad. It’s completely poisoned the well and now unless you are in a specific fandom space for amourshipping you are basically inherently painted in a bad light for just liking a thing.

It’s gets to a point where people push certain narratives or rhetoric about amourshippers that’s just generally not true. Specifically when people insinuate that amourshippers are basically weirdo’s who project themselves on to the characters to try and live out these weird fantasies I guess. A lot of people don’t find issues with this as they probably feel like it’s punching up because amourshipping and Serena are still very popular,but it gets to a point where people are just fine with shitin on others for daring to be positive about Serena or amourshipping.

Like I tend to see a lot of people share there experiences with being basically alienated from certain general groups that talk about the anime. Personally speaking I’ve been dm’d before by random people that felt it was necessary to tell me personally why amourshipping is one sided or that Serena in the anime sucks.

I’m honestly just ranting at this point because it’s become very frustrating trying to talk about shit that you like without some dork in your ear trying to tell you that it’s actually bad and that you’re "delusional"

People just need to chillaxe especially because these are fictional characters and the fact that the anipoke fandom has some people that will call you out your name and then try and pull the whole "well amourshippers are the actual toxic ones" card is wild to me.

Anyway vegitofan out!:)

Amourshipping analysis (yuri edition)

So I think it’s well established to most that know that I like amourshipping,obvious I know,but recently I’ve been really intrigued by the idea of amourshipping in a yuri Style. It’s honestly got me thinking of what it would be like if it was the case. So in honor of it being pride month and some encouragement from a mysterious benefactor…👀 I thought it would be interesting to talk about what would be different about amourshipping if it were yuri.

To start I think one of the main differences making a yuri version of amourshipping is that it would change the way people perceive amourshipping. One thing that might make amourshipping in base kind of a turn off for some is that the archatype it goes for is for some, kind of basic. Amourshipping isn’t anything people haven’t seen before granted I think for the archatype it goes for(which is common in a lot of shonen) I think amourshipping does a better job than most. With it being yuri though it changes that a bit cause with making Ash a female it makes it so that instead of the typical boy protagonist and female love interest trope,it gets seen as tomboyish heroine and feminine heroine. With this change people might actually start to give credence to Ash and Serena’s friendship and not just purely the romance. This change in presentation,amourshipping might start to feel like less of a forced overdone trope to some and more of a friends to lovers type deal which granted was kinda of the deal with amourshipping anyway,but with it being yuri it makes it more apparent.

Ash and Serena’s dynamic in the show of two people helping each other improve will get realized more if it were yuri also,with it maybe being seen as less one sided. As it’s stands Ash and Serena’s dynamic to most is seen as girl likes boy and boy doesn’t notice and doesn’t reciprocate,but with this change people might start to see it as more of two friends that help each other improve thoughout the series with there feelings and bond getting stronger as the story progresses and through this lens certain scenes will probably become viewed differently.

I think the kiss scene itself if yuri,would be perceived way differently. It would be less of "Ash finally got kissed by a girl" and more of "Serena is finally showing how she feels" which it something that is often times neglected when talking about the kiss scene which is people get so caught up in the hype of it that they forget that the kiss scene is for Serena’s character first and foremost and amourshipping being yuri I feel would emphasize that more.

The point I’ve been building towards here is that amourshipping as yuri would make it feel more about the characters rather than fan service. I think one of the most important things when talking about shipping that often gets lost in the sauce is the dynamic itself. People get so caught up in hyping up Ash’s side specifically and making him look like the cool male shonen protagonist that Serena’s importance gets shafted by comparison,but with them being both females the conversation shifts to what actually matters which is there actual chemistry and dynamic in the show.

Im not making this to say that amourshipping in yuri is the super superior way to ship theses characters,but more so to point out how the conversation shifts because to be frank the story itself doesn’t really have to change all that much if at all it’s just Ash is a girl,but his dynamics with Serena and how that’s perceived and or framed is definitely different and different in a good way.

This was a pretty fun and interesting post to make so I hope you enjoyed it

I might make an update post talking more about the t4t aspect maybe,but I’ve still got to figure out what to say. In the meantime I just wanted to discuss specifically the yuri aspect of it and how that changes things.

Anyway vegitofan out:)
