Idk if this is really the kind of ask you take but I’ve been wanting so bad to make a sideblog for my proshipping stuff bc I have anti mutuals on my main. But the only problematic ships I have are of my OCs, which i feel are very recognizable :/ i just dunno what i’m supposed to do with a proship sideblog if I can’t even talk about my ships… thinking i should just make a prompt/imagines blog vaguely based on my OCs instead??Sorry if this isn’t really the kind of ask you answer- just needed to get that off me and you’ve been very friendly with other anons ^^

Honestly, we’re happy to answer any type of ask! We won’t always know the answer, but we’ll do our best!

I have a few pieces of advice for you!

First!

Your new proship sideblog doesn’t have to only be about ships that are problematic! You can totally post about your non-problematic F/Os and ships, and just hang out with all the cool proship people.

Proship isn’t about “problematic” after all, its about a community that doesn’t judge you for your ships.

We on this blog talk about non problematic ships all the time!

Second!

The easy way to safely talk about your recognizable OCs is two parts.

  1. preemptively block on your new blog all the anti mutuals you think will recognize you. And any other antis as well.
  2. If it makes you feel safer, you can refer to your OCs by codenames or emoji combos instead of their recognizable names.

Third!

Making and sharing prompts and imagines based on your OCs sounds fun and great, an we would love to see your stuff when you share it!

I hope that all helped at least a little!

No disrespect to that anon uncomfortable with seeing their f/o shipped with someone from the source material, but it reminded me of the opposite that happened with me. Where I freaking happy squealed when I came across fanart of my f/o and another character.Hope this isn’t coming off as discrediting how the previous anon feels, it just reminded me of the opposite of that scenario.

I don’t think it’s discrediting at all, anon, every relationship is different, and has different boundaries, and that counts for F/O relationships too!

We’re all very poly here and also fictionkin, so there are only a few ships involving our F/Os that we don’t like seeing.

If the venn diagram of proshippers and transphobia is a circle, then why are all accounts of me being misgendered from antis? In fact, all exclusionist shit(such as aphobia, panphobia, transmed, etc) directed towards me too, came directly from antis. I’ve only had one proshipper say some exclusionist bullshit to me, one. Literally more common for the bigots to be on the side policing what fiction someone likes me thinks.Oh, and while we’re at it, can we bring up how it’s more common for antis to be racist? I’ve seen that “Japan is pedophile paradise” bs so many times it hurts. I’ve had two white anti shippers harass me, wish me dead, and call me god awful names because God forbid a black person likes a ship where a character of color is happy compared to the canon ship. Don’t get me started on the slurs too, I’ve been called n***er, we’ve seen Lacey(a Jewish proshipper)also be called n***er along with k*ke, I’ve seen ch**k thrown around on Twitter towards the Asian(not just Japanese, they’ve done it to Chinese, Korean, etc as well)parts of fandom. God dammit, remember “freaks of color” over a Star Wars ship?And the ablism. I’ve had ret**d thrown at me, same with again Lacey, and many others. Always an anti.And even when there are bigots in the proship community, we always call it out and disown them. Antis never do it for their own, they either ignore or encourage it. But no, being anti-censorship, anti-harassment, and being ship and let ship is the pipeline to bigotry.

I have seen a lot of fancops using ableist language, and eugenics terminology and viewpoints.

I have seen a lot of fancops hurl around racist insults and be openly antisemitic.

I have seen a lot of fancops who are obviously anti-japanese.

I have seen a lot of fancops invalidate the trauma of survivors, and directly wish further abuse on them, or tell them they’re glad their abuse happened.

I have seen a lot of fancops deliberately misgender people.

It’s really sad, but it’s not surprising.

Fancops are the fox news watchers of fandom.

cptsd culture is waiting and expecting and wondering when the good will be ripped away. living with a non-abusive guardian and waiting for them to hit you, but it never comes. dating a healthy partner and waiting for them to get sick of you, but they never are. waiting for the food to disappear from the cabinets, waiting for the wifi to run out and for the the ultities to shut off. But it just won’t happen. You’re safe now and your brain refuses to accept it

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

  • If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
  • Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
  • Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
  • Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

This is legit good writing advice, especially the first bullet point! In playwriting class we did a bit where every bit of dialogue had to be an accusatory question and it was glorious.
