Imagine we your simps queuing up to say you're a bottom just to get stepped on and have our Minecraft houses burnt 😔💕

Yeah, imagine being a masochistic simp for some BL author, couldn't me be!! 😔💔 I like my Minecraft houses unburnt and my body not-stepped-on.... /lh

Being a switch shipper is really fun for the consumer because we get double the food. But as a creator it can get quite hard because most people just expect one ship dynamic, and it's totally understandable. I've seen some jp artists who's into switch pair that made 2 accounts just to separate their AxB and BxA arts and I really respect that

Yes, double the food!! 🍽💕 I actually did consider the same thing, separating tartali and zhongchi in the beginning, but decided against that. This is my account and I first and foremost create for myself, if people like x but not y, they can curate their feed by themselves by muting the tags they don't want to see 🙏✨️

That anon is just embarrassed lmfao. Indicating the t+b in the tags are really helpful for creators who only prefer a certain dynamic. Helps make sure that people who may want to follow them think twice about it and avoids having even more followers that bother them with comments like 'lol how can you make x a top,' 'can you draw y as a bottom,' 'not my thing lol personally i prefer z but pretty art!!'
I die inside every time I see someone say 'haha i don't like this dynamic but your art is pretty'

Facts! I cringe every time too when I see comments like that in art, so rude and unnecessary 🥲

I'll simplify it for anon: It's like having star and heart-shaped chicken nuggets. People get plates of the shape they want. The shape is /literally there/ so don't like, get another plate--don't be weird and throw a fit. If you're just here for nuggets, feel free to get anything. But when someone asks for star shaped nuggets, don't give them hearts. People will wonder why you're insisting hearts and stars are the same when everyone else can see they're different.

Part 4. Jiji is trying to cater to both western and japanese/asian audiences, so making the ship tags like they use in japan, just makes it easier to please everyone, since some people are stricker about the ship tags. You can still easily figure out what the ship is even if he doesn't use the thomato for ayathoma. Just leave my friend Jiji do his thing and continue your day anon. Yada yada I'm done with my rant

Part 3. We have been in the internet for pretty damn long time compared to orhers and we are used to do things our way, just simply to make things easier. Like the anon used the example about sk8 and machablossom, that is the english fandom ship name and I'm pretty damn sure it's character specified in japan.

Part 2. Some people prefer to see only top Zhongli (in zhongchi) for example so it's easier to weed out the other content if there are specified names, especially in larger fandoms like Genshin. I have seen multiple people tagging pics and videos on internet with both tags like for example #bottomzhongli #topzhongli and same with childe in one post just for the clout and more interactions with fans.

Part 1. It's ya friend here. But I also can't understand these anons. For many years in Japan especially all the ships, even if they have same characters in it were specified with the two different ship names. This was also a super common practise in west for long time, and caused some ship wars in tumblr back in around 2014-2016 (because people didn't use the right ship tags).

hornikiri · 2y

The last time general tags were used was in what, pokemon fandom? And I jump fandoms a lot.

Literally almost everyone who's an artist/author here stick to the rules and understand the different tags because /it makes it easier/ than just using a general tag and risk seeing hate from those who have different preferences. Preferences are just .. there. Because people like some things and some they don't. It's not that deep. We just like our peace, anon. So I can't really respect/see your point.

Yes!! It's really simple and not deep at all, I hope anon would get that! I've generally seen artists/content creators be very aware of the ship order and tags and this just makes me think maybe anon is just a clueless consumer who doesn't create anything themselves...?

hornikiri · 2y

i’m sorry i’m just amused at the whole situation anon has to be a kid. they sounded like they’re salty they got ratioed for literally mislabeling a tagged art and they just don’t wanna use the reverse tag altogether anymore lmao!!! sorry anon if the art was tagged ayathoma and you got ratioed for calling it the opposite dynamic that’s literally on you. we’re not here for dynamic cancel campaign let shippers tag how they want and if you don’t like it get out of this fandom 🙄🤚🏼

Agreed!! This all really sounds like a "they" problem, not ours who mind our business and tag correctly 😭

hornikiri · 2y

I’m also saying this based on my experience because genshin shippers are insufferable. I got ratioed for calling an “ayathoma” art thomato once but it’s barely even nsfw! It’s easier if the fandom can just agree on one ship name and add some hashtag if it’s meant to be a specific top bottom. Thomato is already a pretty name since it sounds like 🍅 so everyone will call it thomato regardless of top bottom dynamics.

I agree that some of them are insufferable, just like in every fandom there's insufferable shippers. I'm so so sorry for saying this but you clearly deserved being ratioed though, why would you do that!!! Why would you admit to getting ratioed!!! Oh sweet anon... 😭😭😂😂 good luck getting the whole fandom to agree on one ship name and see how that goes, I am NOT having any part in that 🧍‍♂️ godspeed spiderman

hornikiri · 2y

You’re saying I’m trolling but I’m being genuinely serious. For example matchablossom is a ship name for joe + kaoru and people use it regardless of top bottom. I just don’t see why is it not possible for thomato or genshin ship in general. We already have a pretty name for the ship why butcher it just because of top bottom roles? People can always mute tags like #bottomthoma or #bottomayato if they don’t want to see it.

hornikiri · 2y

Jiji sir, what if I say you look like a bottom for you to top me... 🥺🥺 /j
Also, I'm still waiting for jiji to sell his autographed shirtless photos *heavy gay breathing

Thank you for being the comedic relief here, I love you for that, MWAH 💖 /srs I am sorry to tell you though that you will be waiting forever for something that will not happen 😔
