I'm A Sucker For The "there's No Straight Explanation For Me And My Bff Even If We'll Never Become Canon"

On topic of shipping and the whole Jikook vs Taekook thing.

I will admit that I 'ship' Taekook- meaning that I find the bond they have sweet, I like to look at the compilations of their moments and edits of them.

However I do not expect them to be together, I do not create conspiracy theories of how they are actually married/dating we just don't know that, I do not send hate to their friends/members/other celebrities that interact with them.

Because at the end of the day Taehyung and Jungkook (and any other celebrity actually) is not your friend. They do not owe you shit. You are crossing all boundaries in your "shipping" and your desperate attempts to prove that your ship is real.

We do not know if they are dating. We do know they are good friends with each other and with Jimin. Sending hate to Jimin, people who ship Jikook, demanding some dumb shit from the company and the group. Like do you people hear yourselves?

You are not being good fans, you are not being good allys, hell you are not being good people.

I've seen lovely fans and 'shippers', seen lovely moments between all 7 boys because they've been friends for yeaaars and have created something incredible.

My point is: enjoy them and their content and your shipping in a respectful normal manner. If you cannot do that then please do not interact with celebrities and get in touch with the real world. It is embarassing.

Your words and actions have consequences. These are real people you are hating and judging and shitting on.

To all lovely kpop stans and shippers I've gotten to interact with: it has been lovely and I am thankful for this community.

Also I hope everyone attending the concert has so much fun!! Take some pics for us European fans hahah 💜💜💜

People who still think animation is just for kids, let me remind you about:

The Lion King: A beautiful and epic drama about the importance of accepting responsibility for one’s actions, particularly how it applies to those in positions of power.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Features dark themes such as racial genocide, sexuality, and religious extremism; but also has a lot of heart and some very poignant points about the role of faith in the modern world.

Zootopia: An allegory for injustice of just about any kind, which uses humans’ perceptions of animals to prove a point about how we perceive people.

Inside Out: A coming-of-age tale that focuses on the importance of emotional stability and empathy.

Coco: A beautifully written celebration of Latin American culture that highlights the importance of family, music, and our relationship with the dead.

The Prince of Egypt: An adaptation of one of the most famous religious stories of all time that keeps the spirit of the original story intact but still feels fresh and new.

Megamind: A comedy that subverts many superhero tropes and uses them to prove a point about the often black-and-white perception of morality.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: A fresh take on the mythos of one of the world’s most famous superheroes that has a unique art style and blends comedy and drama brilliantly.

The Iron Giant: A criticism of blind patriotism and an exploration of free will, supposedly pitched with the question, “What if a gun had a soul?”

The How to Train your Dragon trilogy: An analysis of mankind’s relationship with animals and how we treat them as “others,” which often leads to misconceptions about nonhuman intelligence.

Finding Nemo: A cautionary tale for parents about how much they should allow their children to be independent.

The Lego Movie: A funny and heartwarming tale of family bonding that encourages people to think creatively and discourages blind uniformity and authoritarian rule.

The Incredibles movies: Analyze how society conditions us to follow a cause and how we often forget that those of high social status are still human.

Shrek: A satirical criticism of beauty standards and the oversaturation of certain unrealistic tropes in media.

Big Hero 6: Shows healthy ways to cope with depression and post-traumatic stress and teaches us that mental health should not be disregarded.

The Croods: An assessment of fear of the unknown and why it shouldn’t necessarily keep us from living life to the fullest.

Frozen: A fairytale about coping with the anxiety that is produced by the pressure society puts on certain individuals.

The Kung Fu Panda movies: Focus a lot on the philosophical side of martial arts and how self-confidence is conducive to success.

Moana: Explores how culture and society shape our identities and how those identities can become misguided while at the same time celebrating the often overlooked culture of the Pacific Islands.

Kubo and the Two Strings: An artistic marvel about how nothing lasts forever, but nor does change mean the end.

Up: Highlights the dangers of being blinded by nostalgia and how to properly honor one’s legacy.

Tarzan: A drama about man’s relationship with nature and how much one is influenced by their environment.

The Secret of NIMH: A philosophical exploration of our desire for knowledge and how ethics must be brought into consideration as we seek to better ourselves.

The Toy Story movies: Explore themes of inadequacy, mortality, parenthood, and one’s purpose in life from the perspective of children’s playthings.

Lilo & Stitch: A clever family drama that focuses on a non-conventional family and doesn’t hold back with the hardships of raising children.

Ratatouille: A metaphor for the struggles that creative minds face and how society often rejects works of art for superficial reasons. Like, for example, that it’s animated, so that probably means it’s just for kids.

do you have any fics where neil is like kinda mean to the foxes or like stands up to them? i want fics where they realize that he’s not very innocent. or just any fics where he’s in character? i hate ones where he acts like a baby. thank you so much for all the work you do!! <3

We had a merry discussion about what is “in character” for Neil, and you might be surprised at the different aspects that we listed. That aside, I think you’ll enjoy many fics in our previous asks, particularly ‘Neil says it's fine I've had worse’ at the top. You’ll also find dark!, bamf!, and butcher!Neil there, plus him standing up to the Foxes about his sexuality or their treatment/dismissal of Andrew. - A

His Father's Eyes by maeusetod [Not Rated, 3012 Words, Complete, 2016]

Sometimes Neil had thought about, when and under which circumstances he would hear the name Nathaniel again, but he had not expected it to happen like this.

Shrike by Leteel6 [Rated E, 13870 Words, Complete, 2021]

Time’s up, Junior.

Indeed. Indeed it was. For who though, Nathaniel was unsure. All he knew for certain that the blood on the wall was still wet, not yet tacky which meant that he wasn't too far behind his fathers trail. He would catch up to him, this he knew with single-minded determination and it would either end in his death or his fathers. Maybe both. One way or another though, he would finish this.

Or, Neil never ends up going back to Baltimore. Instead, his father comes to Palmetto.

Lifeline by pandaseek [Rated T, 231608 words, incomplete, last updated Oct 2021]

"What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious.

"I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?"

Six names? Yep, there is something going on there.

"The real one. The one that fits you best."

"Not my birth name then?" He sounds almost hopeful?

Andrew waits until he sorts through his thoughts. He has another hour before he has to go back.

"Abram." He decides after a long pause. "It's my middle name. The only one that doesn't have to change because it can just as easily be left out."
