GUESS WHO'S BACK TO RAM

I miss these chaotic duo, waited for season 4 for 2 years???

These will be on redbubble soon

there is NO WAY to avoid tropes!! everything is a trope!! that doesn’t mean it’s bad!! embrace it!!

At a convention, a famous writer once said “tropes are like gears, if you use them well, they can be an integral part of the engine/plot. Or, you can just throw them on the side and make a steampunk hat”

I took that to mean that tropes are just tools, and, if used right, aren’t even really noticed.

“complaining about a story having tropes is like complaining that a tree is made of wood”

have you noticed that mortys been acting...unusual? scarily so?

It was about goddamn time to confirm Summer’s bisexuality in canon! YES!

So I have a burning question

When did the intricacies of shipping become so damn political?  Like seriously, when, and WHY?

I’m old enough to remember the days when shipping something “controversial”, “problematic”, or just not inherently pure wouldn’t completely ruin friendships, wouldn’t subject you to endless bullying or harassment online, and those with enough common courtesy would see material of a ship they didn’t like or didn’t approve of, and just move on and mind their own business.  Basically, the days when shipping was the escape from the messiness of reality that it was supposed to be.  Like, isn’t shipping supposed to be a form of, you know, stress relief, escapism, or indulgence?

Shipping something that isn’t 100% pure, or even shipping something that would be inherently gross and wrong in real life, doesn’t automatically mean you’re a bad or sick person.  And creating material for said ship doesn’t mean that either.  People ship what they ship for a multitude of reasons, whether they be for coping/therapeutic reasons, because the concept of it is intriguing to them in a fictional sense and they want to explore it in a healthy (yes, HEALTHY) way, because the specific way someone depicts the ship speaks to them and breaks past normal barriers, because it’s a form of projection, etc.  And anyone in the right frame of mind who hasn’t been living under a rock their whole life will understand fully the separation between reality and fanart/fanfiction, even at a young age.  I know, because I was that young age once, and I was naive as hell.

Harassing people for creating content of an impure ship won’t protect anybody.  Creating DNI banners that are centered around a fictional ship won’t protect you or anybody else.  It just causes stress for both parties, makes the harasser look like the asshole that they are, reinforces toxic behavior, and very probably exposes minors or those with mental illnesses to said toxic behavior.  You think fanart/fanfiction is bad, take a look in the mirror first.

Rather than automatically assuming the reason behind shipping an impure ship is because that person is sick or bad, maybe ask them yourself WHY they ship it, and perhaps under which circumstances (because boundaries exist, even in problematic ships).  Not in an aggressive way, in a polite and curious way.  And let their answer speak for itself.

It doesn’t have to be an “us vs them” thing, like so much of life already is.  Why not create bridges of understanding, rather than walls of hatred?  And remember, at the end of the day, it’s just fiction.

oh no

made gifs with some soft moments

If they don’t do more of ricks past this season I’ll b sad
