I do think it’s worth “examining your kinks,” at the very least because if you can find an underlying theme you can use it to find other, stranger kinks. Broaden your horizons
Proship Misconceptions
π« Misconception:Β A βproshipβ is a ship that involves problematic content.
π Reality: Proship means supporting the rights of people to ship what they want. βProshipβ is a label for the person doing the shipping, not for a ship thatβs problematic.
π« Misconception: Proshippers are people who support pedophilia and/or incest irl
π Reality: Proshippers are people who support the rights of people to ship what they want. Proshippers support the rights of people to ship taboo or problematic pairings like under age ships, or ships between people who are related, but proshippers support these things in fiction not real life.
π« Misconception: Shipping something means that you support or endorse all aspects of the pairing, and consider it ideal and romantic.Β
π Reality: Shipping something means you want to see fiction about a relationship. It does not mean that you think toxic or problematic elements of the ship are good, healthy, desirable, or that you want them in real life.
π« Misconception: Proshipping means romanticizing and glorifying toxic, problematic and taboo relationships like pedophilia and incest.
π Reality: Proship means supporting the rights of people to ship what they want. It doesnβt mean that you endorse or support concepts from dark fiction in real life.
π« Misconception: If you find something hot and get off to it in fiction, it means you want to do it in real life.
π Reality: No, no it doesnβt. Asserting that people want to do in real life everything they enjoy in fiction is weird and gross.
Pinning this post for today.
His name is Warren Worthington the third, and he"s called Angel.
He’s one of the original X-Men from the 60s.
He’s the son of a wealthy industrialist who is ashamed of him and rejects him because he’s a mutant, and tries to hide him and make him not a mutant. There is a lot of ‘gay conversion camp’ style narrative and imagery associated with Warren.
Warren also feels a lot of shame and self loathing for not fitting in.
Despite being beautiful and angelic, from a wealthy and well known family, he is still branded a freak and an outcast by society for the crime of being a mutant.
We love Warren Worthington!!π
Remember:
π Most people don’t think there’s anything wrong with creating and enjoying fiction and art, even when it’s messed up, dark, problematic, taboo, or ‘gross’.
π It’s okay to make and enjoy art and fiction that’s sexual in nature, even if it’s dark, problematic, taboo or ‘gross’.
π It’s okay to make and enjoy art and fiction that some other people find disturbing or objectionable.
π Not every piece of art and fiction is for everyone, but every piece of art and fiction is for someone.
Imagine having the hiccups, and complaining to your F/O about it.
Your F/O surprises you by grabbing you and kissing you deeply until the hiccups are gone, figuring either the surprise or the breathlessness will do the trick.
