Guys I Really Like This Guy And He Makes Me Like More Nervous Than Any Man Has Ever Made Me Before And

'25 GEN AIB and the controversy around SHIPPING.

If you've ever been in a fandom, which you certainly have if you're on tumblr, then you know that one of the biggest things that makes a fandom is shipping. Whether it be adored by the fandom, shut away in some locked up corner online, or frowned upon, almost every fandom has shipping. And Alice in Borderland is no stranger to the concept.

<> NOTICE : Nothing that I say in this post is meant to offend, harm, or attack anyone. This is simply an informational post sharing my opinion on current controversies in the fandom.

IT'S THE BASIC OUTCOME OF A FANDOM.. : Alice in Borderland has been around for almost 15 YEARS NOW. No matter how long ago you joined the fandom, whether you've been here since it's first manga release or since this year's borderland revival, if you may, on TikTok, you already know shipping is HUGE in this fandom. Which means an outrageous amount of stupid arguments over which characters are more compatible than others. Perhaps the most frustrating part of the new gen of AIB fans (I say this because I personally and most of those similar to me have been here for around 4 years) is the shipping. Now, don't take this the wrong way. I am all for shipping- if you already know me, then you would know that a large chunk of this account is based on an AIB ship. Shipping becomes a problem when people in the fandom begin arguing over which ship is better and full on attacking each other over it. I say this referring to the uprise of Chippei (Chishiya Shuntaro / Ippei Oki) and Nishiya (Niragi Suguru / Chishiya Shuntaro) and the new fandom's growing rivalry regarding these 2 ships. I have literally seen Chippei lovers tell Nishiya fans that they HATE THEM and even tell them to kms over them preferring Nishiya, or just for not liking Chippei. A portion of Nishiya shippers aren't saints either. This behavior is EXTREMELY immature. And it isn't only between these two, but it's mainly between these two. As a fandom we should respect each other, whether or not we agree with each other's opinions. Nishiya shippers who act immaturely back to the shippers who disagree whether they be Chippei, Chirisu, Niratatta, etc, make me feel ashamed to be a Nishiya shipper. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU DISAGREE WITH A SHIP ? : : If you disagree with a ship you should simply scroll away. It's that simple. I personally have STRONG opinions towards Niratatta, but you will NEVER catch me telling someone who ships the two to do bad things to themselves or other kinds of hate speech. If you are in a conversation with someone who ships something different from you, you can simply say, "I personally don't ship them / don't agree with the ship, but it's a cool concept! I'm glad you enjoy it!" And go along with your day. It's THAT simple to be a normal human being and respectful member of your fandom, whether its Alice in Borderland or not. If someone is being disrespectful or crude towards you for your ship, don't reciprocate the behavior. Simply ignore them, and if they don't stop, block them. You should NEVER reply with rude remarks in return.

And, that concludes my rant. To anyone in this fandom, or any fandom for that matter, that already behaves in a respectful manner, props to you. Keep doing what you're doing !! You make your fandom a much better place when you treat others nicely :)) See you next rant !! Bye bye !

kyuma sketch (colored) baby’s first shirtless drawing how do we feel A for effort??

are parents js not parenting correctly anymore cuz tell me why i saw so many 8-9 year olds at the tyler concert dude when i was their age i would get my ass whooped for listening to a song w the word shit in it. how are they allowed to go to a tyler concert where a majority of the songs were abt sex :sob: HE PLAYED TRON CAT. AND TAMALE. AND STICKY OFC. AND JUDGE JUDY + gave a whole speech on safe sex. YALL NEED TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOUR KIDS...

okay not to hate on other peoples opinions but HOW do some of you mfs believe that niragi would be a big bad wolf and like most alpha male ever in a relationship im sorry but ngl if niragi ever trusted someone enough to get in a committed relationship w them he would lowkey be the biggest crybaby bf of all time. trusting someone that much is basically js letting his guard down, ion get why some of yall assume that his actual self is the persona he put on starting at the beach cuz let's be for realsies that mf is DEFINITELY a sweetheart under allat even if he doesnt wanna show it

me each time I see someone have the wrong opinion about AIB: please remember that Arisu is a ♥️ player, not a ♦️ one. Arisu being a ♥️ specialist is VITAL to all his development and to the final confrontation between himself, Niragi and Chishiya because that's a ♥️ player facing two ♦️players The final game within players is meant to be mind and reason vs heart and emotion and one character with a lot of empathy and skills of understanding others facing other two WHO LACK ALL OF THAT

it's not a game between 3 ♦️ players That wouldn't make any sense it's a ♥️ player DOING HIS THING AND "TRICKING" THE DIAMIN PLAYERS INTO CHANGING

You got Chishiya, whose apathy and indiference towards the world made it so imposible for him to undertand others And Niragi, who is so trapped inside his own view of the world and himself who can't also undertand anyone else

And then you have Arisu, who gets BOTH OF THEM, he can understand both CHISHIYA AND NIRAGI BECAUSE HE IS A ♥️PLAYER. WHAT WOULD BE IMPOSIBLE IF HE WAS ALSO A ♦️ ONE

Arisu is not a parallel to Chishiya or Niragi Chishiya and Niragi are the parallels Arisu is the one standing at the edge, trying to choose what route to take just to realize that this is not even his road before turning around and walking his own one

Chishiya and Niragi are narrative foils Arisu is the one who disturbs that weird balance, makes them change and offers them a new way to face the world A new way that Niragi refuses to take but Chishiya does follow

Because both Chishiya and Niragi are completely alone, they both don't want to be anymore, but only Chishiya does something to achieve that in the end You get Niragi saying out loud that he doesn't want to be alone, but doing nothing about it and Chishiya taking Arisu's hand into starting his personal change, even if he never says it outloud THAT ONLY MAKES SENSE WITH ARISU BEING A DIFERENT KIND OF PLAYER

Hope you’re still taking asks, got a few questions :3

Any extremelyyyy unpopular takes on aib?

If you were able to change one thing about aib(Netflix or manga your choice) what would you change?

What is your opinion on S3, do you have any theories?

Your FAVORITE moment or scene?

Do you have top 3 fav ships, if so what are they?

Of course !! I’m always open to asks ! :3 - Extremely unpopular take : I think you can like Niragi and hate Shibuki. When people talk about the SA characters they ALWAYS nitpick about this and it’s like oh my god shut up dude their whole character doesn’t rely on 1-2 things they did. “They’re basically the same bc they both SA’D” no they’re not tell me you watched the show without paying attention to the characters without telling me :sob: - One thing I would change about the Netflix adap. : Take out the unnecessary SA scene between Heiya and Arisu. That was so weird of them to just throw in and I think it really ruined Heiya for a lot of people. - My opinion on S3 : I think they’re going to partially follow RETRY. Considering how employed Arisu looks I’m going to assume this is somewhere in the future and judging by hearing Ann’s voice in the trailer we WILL be seeing the other mains (ones from the king of spades battle + niragi and chish). Though, it’s really hard to tell what’s going on considering the photo of Arisu and Usagi in their borderland outfits and some random dude in a wheelchair looking at the HUGE joker card. It leaves many questions unanswered and I might make a separate post about debunking it :) - FAVORITE moment or scene : For a lighthearted one, I think my favorite scene is probably from the manga, when Arisu asks Niragi why he shot Chishiya and he said “Should I have hugged him instead??” For a more serious one, probably Chishiya’s little speech to Arisu after getting shot. It hit hard in both the manga AND live action, but it was really interesting either way :3 - Top 3 fav ships : Nirashiya, Arisagi, and probably Kuiann or Kuzumira (or whatever its called) in that order ! AAA THANK YOU FOR THESE LOVELY ASKS !!! They were so fun to answer :))

can a therapist explain why my emotions from my ex fucking me while i was js laying there limp and crying makes me feel correlated to niragi
