Gay rats am I right?

This is a slow growing Fandom so i thought it'll be interesting to make a confession blog about gay rats lmao.

[theastiltonblr-confessions]

Hello! ! And welcome to the blog, all dedicated for all thea sisters fans out there! !

TS Confessions, after that big ol argument, hope you know we love and appreciate you <3

Anyways, I must confess that I wish we got to see more of the girls doing school stuff. Like, actual school stuff. Like studying, presentations, researching a paper, etc. It’d be really fun as a Mouseford book plot, and it could show kids a little bit of what college life is like <3

Also it’d be funny to see the girls struggling with a slideshow presentation on German Immigration Patterns in the 1960s or something

Willina shippers aren’t really pedos but if the only thing you like about your ship is that it’s problematic and there’s a power imbalance as opposed to chemistry than ya it’s slop and performative

Not srry you all prefer bad ship with no chemistry just because it’s “problematic” and that’s hot to you and then you want to stand on a high horse and act like you’re mature

[theastiltonblr-confessions]

Oh my fucking god all of you need to shut the fuck up. This is maddening. This is actually maddening to witness.

To preface, I don’t like Willina either. I’m not a fan of how shoehorned it sometimes feels, and the dynamic just feels off-putting to me at times. That being said, I’m not going to start calling people pedophiles just because they like the ship??? What the fuck is wrong with you people???

I’ve been around fandom for nearly a fucking decade at this point and I keep seeing this shit happen over and over and over again, and it’s driving me mad. You are allowed to dislike a ship, and you’re allowed to find it weird, but trying to police it using therapy-speak and throwing around the words “problematic” and “pedophilia” when it comes to a ship between what is at the end of the day, TWO CONSENTING ADULTS, because yes, Paulina is an adult, as much as you fools seem to want to baby her, is just insane. If you see a ship you don’t like in a fandom space, just don’t fucking read it. You have a choice. You can block people. You can mute them. I have blocked people for less.

You’re allowed to have opinions on ships, but if you think having opinions on ships entitles you to force people out of fandom spaces or make people uncomfortable being into those ships, you seriously need to consider the impact of the fandom purity culture you’re bringing into what would otherwise be a safe space. If you want to see more of a different ship, then write that content yourself, or look for someone who does. Talk to people.

You are not superior to people who ship Willina. All of you need to start caring less about what other people ship.

In response to both the anon who called the Will x Paulina ship "pedophilic" and who said it's weird due to Thea being an adult like Will:

Isn't Thea younger than Geronimo? Who she and Trap joke is old? It's hinted Geronimo is in his early or mid 30s while the other two are in their early or mid 20s. She's no older than the girls and Will who show they can do things 18 yr olds can't do yet. I don't really ship Will and Paulina myself cause I just find them bland as a couple.

Real pedophilia = 20 and higher dating a 5-17 yr old. I personally feel uncomfortable when it's with an 18 yr old and 30 yr old.

Pedophilia ≠ 20-29 yr old dating a 30 yr old and higher person. It's also ableist considering many times people consider 20+ yr old characters with interests in video games, plushies, colorful clothing, and much more somehow makes one a child, when there are adults like the Thea Sisters and other characters similar to them who exist in our world and are treated with disrespect due to these beliefs.

At least it's not a relationship between an 18 yr old and a 30 yr old.

Also please no harassing anyone who do ship them both, and no harassing haters either. And by harassing, I mean don't go to said shippers calling them pedophiles and calling them hurtful names and threatening them. Don't go to haters saying they're awful or call them names and threatening them.

It's wrong to think pedophilia also includes 20 yr olds when it doesn't. It's literally meaning children/teenagers/minors being groomed into a relationship with adults. And do not start any fights or anything on here. I sincerely feel like OP would rather keep this acc drama/fight free.

Lowk you make it out to be like "this person is a prominent figure in the fandom and needs to be held accountable for X and Y". Here's a reality check for you: this fandom is tiny. Off the top of my head there are only like, five fanfic writers max at a given time if you exclude all the mega-crossover fics where the characters are tagged but never mentioned at all. This isn't a small-town fandom, this is an Old Western town so small that all the buildings are arranged in one row and none of them are at full capacity, let alone half.

You make this situation out to be this unshakable fandom monolith created by a few big faces, when in reality it's just a small potluck where someone occasionally pops out with something, and then people flock to it because it's the only food at the potluck and has been for weeks. The person you're referring to literally became known in the fandom because they wrote a lot about their favorite characters in a short span of time, that's small-town celebrity status at best. This means that y'know, you could maybe

Do something about it? Write. If you feel like there's not enough of a ship or a character that you like? Write. This fandom's AO3 tag started because one person liked the series enough to write things about it, and then eventually some people started to join in and add to the fic list. Maybe it's the case for all fandoms out there, but especially for this one, it started because one person liked it and wrote about it.

Be the difference you wanna make in the fandom, add to the Paulina ship fics if you want to. Who cares if the first one is shit-- everyone's first try is gonna be shit in some way. As long as you write things down instead of leave the paper blank.

Rebuttal to this anon https://www.tumblr.com/theastiltonblr-confessions/824333325390036992/all-of-you-who-ship-wllina-are-fucking-pedophiles?source=share

Friendly reminder that the girls are canonically college students, so they are all grown-ass adults (Paulina in Secret City at earliest is a licensed driver who doesn't require supervision, which is a thing you notoriously Can't Be Young To Legally Do)

That being said, even as a Willina disliker, it's a bit of a stretch to call all people who like it pedophiles, no? From my experience most of the people who do like it are people too young to realize the power imbalance, or people who just never realized it. Or people who are aware of it and like it nonetheless, and in that case whatever reasons they have is up to their discretion.

Off anon but jesus fucking christ anon do you think people who likes that kind of dynamic are "pedophilic"? I understand that willina is slightly controversial but accusing shippers as being "pedos" just because they ship them is straight up wrong. You are accusing someone who's harmless with a word thats been misused by many in other fandoms just so they could hate something "properly".

If you're gonna hate willina and the shippers, at least present a proper reason why. Obviously this won't stop others from shipping them but kindly, educate yourself. I am sick of seeing pedophilia as a term get watered down as part of a discourse just to justify your hate towards the shippers.

response to this ask

[theastiltonblr-confessions]

All of you who ship w*llina are fucking pedophiles I swear to god. No matter how many times that it had been implied that he is much older than her and that he is her boss it still doesn't stop you fuckers from shipping them. Hey if you like that ship so much why don't you go date your middle aged boss or something

You can immediately if someone came from twitter if they think geronimo is chubby

The dynamic is problematic and weird in other works of fiction (and IRL? what do you even mean by that??). The main issue Willina faces isn't that it's just an Employer x Employee relationship; I believe there can be good depictions of Employer x Employee. Where it gets really problematic is the age difference. They're at different levels of maturity. Paulina is college age, and Will is working a full time job for the Seven Roses Unit. Ultimately a 20 year old is less mentally/emotionally mature than a 30 year old. And I don't want to hear "oh but his age is never explicitly stated". He is the DIRECTOR of the SRU, they're not letting some random 20-something year old be in charge of the agency. Being the director of anything requires immense experience that comes with age. It doesn't matter that Will is a good guy with good intentions, there's still a significant power imbalance.

same anon who complain about the whole yaoi and yuri fics in the fandom but im going to be a little serious about this. so i saw the previous post about the whole will x paulina ship being suck or something and it sparked something in me and i just have to say something that's been i my mind regarding the fandom, but it's not about the ship it self i don't care about it since to me that ship is just a boring hetero ship. also in this confession i am throwing full shades at a certain someone in this fandom. whether or not they get upset about it is not my problem. this is a confession blog so people can express their opinions freely here so don't come say that i have no rights to express it.

i have one simple question for that person. ...why does will have 3 romantic yaoi focus fics? im not just asking why will got three im also asking... why??

will is just a generic dude with a boring personality. the most basic white man ever. so why does he got to have romantic fics? as far as i see paulina only has like 4 romantic fics and three of them is with an oc and only one with a canon character. and this disappointed me greatly because she barely beats will by 1. she should have more romantic yuri fics than him with yaoi. there should be more yuri of her and the other girls. paulina has appear in every books, have some dynamics with the other girls and has been here for over 20 years of the series yet i rarely see any romantic fics about her. but will, this character that only appear 8 times in the series and stop appearing a few years ago gets to have 3?! how is that even possible??

is it because will is a man so he is the so called "default option" like how so many fandoms will rather make yaoi content for generic boring dudes before they even touch the female main character? paulina absolutely is boring but at least she has certain quirks and things that make her at least feel like a character. will does not. he is more boring than her and we don't know anything about him. he is a mystery (haha get it). a bad mystery because nothing about him is interesting. so why does he even gets to have yaoi fics?? surely you could add many spices and headcanons to paulina or even change her personality a little and after that pair her with one of the girls to make many interesting yuri fics like how so many fandoms give so much seasoning and ridiculous amount of lore to their basic white boy just for their yaoi fics. but oh wait i just remember that paulina doesn't have that privilege because she is a woman yeah yeah okay. a woman of color no doubt.

god this turn into a hating post oops. i don't want to used hate because the word hate is too strong for this. i just don't care about will and imo it just doesn't make sense to be making yaoi fics about him because what so special about him to have these fics? this is also as i explain before in the beginning, a full blown shade post for a certain someone in this fandom. im just piss that the dude who has nothing going on with him and have not make an appeared since 5 years ago got 3 yaoi fics while the girl who have been here from the beginning till today and she only get like what 1 single het ship and three ship with an oc and that's it. i don't want to called this as classic fandom misogyny because it's not really it but it feels and seen like it. im literally directly asking that person why does HE gets to have yaoi fics pls explain why?? like there's nothing interesting about him so why bother making yaoi fics about him?

anyway long post idc anymore its like 2 am here. tldr; who cares about will and this fandom should have way more yuri's of the girls and i hate the fact that that man gets to have yaoi fics about him because i don't think he deserves it.
