Listen, I’ve been part of fandom for a long time, and I’ve seen a LOT of ship wars, but especially between the straight and LGBT ships in a fandom. I want to expose some of the flawed arguments I see on both sides in hopes of reducing the toxicity I see LITERALLY everywhere I look.
“If you ship a straight pairing over a gay pairing, you’re homophobic.”
INVALID. Preference doesn’t dictate homophobic behavior. Certain dynamics appeal to different people.
“If you want LGBT representation so bad, go produce your own content.”
INVALID. That’s like telling someone who wants better healthcare options to go run for president to make it happen.
“If a bisexual ends up with someone of the opposite sex, they’re now in a straight relationship and are therefore straight rep.”
INVALID. Bisexuals are still LGBT rep, regardless of their partners.
“You can’t expect showrunners to include gay characters and then get mad when they’re killed off.”
INVALID. The Kill Your Gays trope isn’t a lie. We’ve seen it throughout the history of media. While all characters should still be subject to the same fate, no one wants their rep brought in just to be written out or brutally killed off. Especially if that’s the only LGBT or POC representation the show has.
“Why can’t two people of the opposite sex (aka the straight ship) just be friends? We never see that.”
INVALID. Almost every single show and book has at least one platonic relationship these days. Friendship is key to a good story, but it also is the key to a healthy romance. It’s the same thing as saying -
“Why can’t these two boys (that everyone ships) just be good friends? Why do you have to ship all the same sex characters together?”
You’re just writing off the ship you don’t like as something that should be “pure” and “platonic.” We all like platonic friendships, okay. But that doesn’t mean this ship isn’t allowed to be romantic. It shouldn’t bear the burden of a platonic fate simply because you don’t see the romance.
“This ship is toxic.”
Make sure you know what that word means before throwing it around.
“You’re delusional.”
INVALID. Ad hominem. Literally just never say this. It’s so rude to impose your perception of chemistry onto someone else and call them crazy when they don’t see it.
Aight. That’s it for now. Please stop using these arguments to take shots at other ships. Or better yet - ship and let ship, and stay out of each other’s tags.
Lance working at Bath and Body works and having this cutsie little girl in corduroys and pigtails tug on his apron.
“Candle!” she shouts, and he bends to be at her level, smiling warmly.
“Well you came to the right place,” he gestures around them, to the multitude of candles scattered on tables and walls, and the little girl nods enthusiastically.
“What sort of candle are you looking for?” he asks, and she hums deep in thought.
“Maybe…purple?”
Lance laughs and stands.
“I’ll see what I can do.” He moves around a few tables, picking a lilac scented three-wick from off a nearby stand, and returns to the child.
“Like this?” he opens the lid and crouches again, so she can smell, but when she does she scrunches up her nose and turns away.
“Not that purple.”
Lance grins and puts it back.
“What sort of purple then?”
Again, she pauses to think, and Lance scans over the shop to see who she’s with. But there’s no one else browsing the shelves – no parent or guardian of any sort - and he begins to worry.
A hand tugs on his apron once more, and Lance blinks away his apprehension as the child points to a pin on her shirt.
“This kind,” she states in response to his question, and Lance squints to better see what she means. He brightens after a moment, noticing the purple grapes decorating the pin.
“So fruitier then,” he taps his chin as he thinks, and glances down at the girl with a grin. “Follow me.”
Before he can take a step, a small hand reaches out and clasps around his pinky, and when Lance blinks back down at the tiny face beaming his way, he melts a bit inside.
So cute oh my gosh!
“We have a lot of fruity candles here,” he explains as he walks with her, and she listens intently. “Do you like grapes the best?”
She surprisingly shakes her head, and Lance pauses.
“No?”
“Daddy likes them,” she says bluntly, and then crooks a finger his way after searching around them briefly. Lance bends, and she moves to whisper in his ear.
“I don’t really like them. Poppa and me like the green ones better. Only daddy likes purple.”
Lance struggles for a moment to interpret the words, but it makes sense a moment later when a man runs into the shop, looking altogether too relieved as he approaches.
“There you are!” He huffs, and the little girl grins as she runs over to him. He picks her up and boops her nose affectionately, and Lance concludes that this must be the father that likes grapes.
The purple ones anyway.
“Don’t just run off like that!” he reprimands softly. “There are creepy people in the mall-”
“He was helping!” the girl interrupts, and the man glances over at Lance when she points his way.
“Oh, well, I wasn’t really referring to-” he narrows his eyes, looking at a place on Lance’s apron. “‘Candle Jenner’….?”
Lance snorts as his face heats, and he waves off the name to explain.
“We all chose puns,” he begins, realizing he’s the only one working and trailing off. “I’m Lance.”
He holds out a hand, which the man takes after adjusting his hold on the child.
“Keith. And this is-”
“I’m Sadie!” she bursts, and Lance shakes her hand as well.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Gonna start a post with blank memes. Please add any you have on hand and reblog to spread them.
very good content
Here’s a few I’ve accumulated over the years
Ah, some gold!
Omfg, a goldmine
This is a blessing look at all of these templates
All those posts about memes being their own language? This is the alphabet.
culturally different yet morally aligned heroes.
boyfriends
Anon asked me to draw some more. so here you go, friends.
also, drawing cats is the bane of my existence. I’m shit at drawing non-fantasy animals that aren’t dogs, goats of anteaters???
I feel like this is the moment a young mutant just found out that his power is manifesting sliced bread

Any time someone tells me birds aren’t descended from dinosaurs, I show them this.
Here’s HSTHETE, the 24 hour comic I drew this year! Thanks to everybody who followed along on twitter this weekend as I posted these pages <3

A very simplified version of a very serious, very complex matter.

someone put a mothman in their window and now there's a crowd of ppl outside the dorms staring up at him and chanting mothman. i love college
The angle of this photo implies that OP is part of the aforementioned crowd.
who do you think started the mothman chant
Can confirm
I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.
But now the company holiday party is upon us.
And I’ve been lying about the girlfriend.
I suddenly really empathise with the characters in Hallmark Christmas movies.
I like that people have two reactions to this post.
Reasonable: “just say she couldn’t make it!”
Chaotic: FAKE DATING AU
Well, which one is it going to be?
And so it begins
having the DMV area Craigslist bookmarked has never come in handy before but now
Update, Craigslist has flagged my post as inappropriate.
Apparently you can’t solicit a date as a “gig”
I now see my mistake
Update: a date has been acquired. This is true lesbian solidarity in action.
My wife has now read this and wonders how baby gays are even meeting and mating
Can confirm I am meeting and mating just fine 😂
By the way I’m in a relationship with this woman now
wow this is it, the holy grail
Over The Garden Wall [Chapter 1~10]
Hang on to that love.
