This Is What True Inspiration Is

Hrunghhhhhhnhb clingy

absolute territory

i think shipping culture is very centred around sexual intimacy, and sometimes just how good they look next to each other 😭 at least with some ships I've seen. It leads to some crazyyyy mischaracterization but that's another topic for another day

but i agreeeeeeeee, when it comes to ships i think more of how their dynamic plays out in different universes/ circumstances/ situations etc. because isn't it way more fun that way ?

i need you guys to understand i can get behind pretty much any ship as long as i can justify it. and i can justify a lot of things. i’m really good at that. i am not restrictive about the things i ship. and when i “ship” something i need you to know that (unlike the majority of humankind apparently) i am not thinking about sex. and without sex, the spectrum of romantic and platonic gets so incredibly gray that i personally do not feel like it’s worth distinguishing. in other words, when i say i “ship” something, i mean i believe these people have a very intimate bond that i think is worth exploring across a variety of contexts.

let me make this clear: labels are irrelevant to me. i am not distinguishing platonic ships vs romantic ships because without sex the difference is negligible to me. i am a big fan of casual (non-sexual) intimacy in relationships across the board ok.

so when i say “i love poly class A” i need you to understand that it is an incredibly complex web of dynamics that i cannot explain in simple words. i will have to write a million fics for you to understand it. but it allows me to explore multiple ships without having to distinguish universes or previous relationships, ok. it’s easier and a whole lot of fun.

i also have contradictory ships sometimes! endhawks and dabihawks, for example. those cannot exist simultaneously, but i do find them both compelling for different reasons (endhawks is more hawks and dabihawks is more keigo. it makes sense). cases like this do depend heavily on universe + characterization (aka how events preceding the ship have affected its existence) and i like to explore that. it’s interesting.

in short: i am very casual about shipping and i like lots of things! i am also not a sex-focused person or writer, so that has very little bearing on what i ship!! it’s about the emotional complexity and vulnerability and intimacy! those are the important things!!

thank you that is all

I love this

Of all the things I see constantly mentioned about SaneGiyuu, or just in an analysis of Sanemi and Giyuu's relationship, I very rarely see people mention the Masachika/Sabito parallel. And even if it's mentioned, this moment in particular:

Like, yeah, Giyuu is very non-confrontational (best example of this being Giyuu full on knowing Shinobu was pale and yet saying nothing), but I also do like to interpret this as Giyuu understanding exactly what Sanemi felt in that meeting. Believing someone else could become a hashira and getting mad at the idea of them not making it, but instead, you do.

If Giyuu was ever someone to truly get angry and express it loudly, he'd be exactly like Sanemi in that meeting. He gets it more than anyone else. I think this "opposites" relationship they have is neat.

JUST FINISHED SEASON 7!! HELP!!

so while we waited for season 8 i thought I'd try drawing my boy Hawks!

The sensual chicken: Hawks xD

I love sketchbook, now is my favourite art app

Read this fanfic a while back and I can't remember the name or anythang all I remember is that fem!touya and keigo lived a pretty nice life together 🙂‍↕️

🍀✨ — this piece is based off of @/Nxhqt's art style on twt! the textures in their art is super neat even though my brush in procreate doesn't have quite as much grain. I think it still turned out nice w Sanemi c: hopefully I can do a Genya version soon.
