I think one of my favorite things about the pro shipper side of Tumblr is that I can loudly say I like the show High Guardian Spice, actively ship myself with one of the characters , and watch it regularly and no one even bats an eye unlike legit everywhere else where I off hand mention Im watching the series and get spammed with "We will pray for you" and "Who is making you do this?"
I'm watching it cuz I like it π but if I say that, people write me a list on why I shouldn't that just boils down to 'Its cringe.'
hiii!! what is high guardian spice about? im thinking of watching but i rly dk ππ
HELLO FRIEND!
High Guardian Spice is a Crunchyroll orginal cartoon released by Raye Rodriguez.
The show follows four girls Rosemary- a lovable tomboyish girl with a stomach bigger than her brain -, Sage- A book smart witch with low self esteem -, Parsley - A dwarf with a big family who is the more mature one of the group- , and Thyme - And elf with an aloof personality and a lot of angst - going to High Guardian Academy where they learn to be Guardians! They spend the rest of the series going on adventures and exploring their world
The show is one of my favorites, but it does have a few problems to be critiqued such Plot holes, things not being explained properly, awkward dialogue, or lack luster animation in some parts. Most hate you'll find however, will mainly be directed towards the show and it's LGBT theming with it's trans characters. (Most saying that it was unrealistic or one character *naming no spoilers* should've just been a cross dresser.)
A few tips I get for a better experience with the show is to note it was supposed to be a PG kid's show, but it was changed to an adult one last minute by the creators and the production time was sped up to the point they were still storyboarding the 6th episode with the 1st was getting animated so many scenes are pretty first draft.
The first series is up free on youtube uploaded here: https://www.youtube.com/@highguardianspicefan7969
In a few days, hours, years I'm gonna make a post about my self insert OCs and my Self ships. Stay turned for when I finished because then I'm gonna OPEN ART TRADES!
Overall, I wanna redesign my blog and how it looks, maybe change my banner, my colors (keeping Proship pink ofcccc), and other things. Just feels like I should since new year is coming and all πβ€οΈ
How I'm gonna look to antis soon:
Here's a fun Problematic Ship Tumblr game for me (or anyone interested in joining) to do.
You, *taps* YES! You! In the comments, I want you to put two emojis together - ANY COMBO! It could mean something like π π or it could just be your favorite emojis like ππ«Ά or it can be the weirdest most specific emojis that you personally feel would be near impossible to make into a character like π«π. K? Any emoji combo, put them in the comments. This will be character one.
Now you, *pokes* yeah, you! You're gonna respond to the first comment with another set of emojis. Could be the first two emojis that show up in your last used like ππ«, it could be two emojis you didn't even know existed like πγ½οΈ, or it could be emojis that are used often like πβ€οΈ. K? Just take two emojis and respond to the first guy. This will be character two.
Now, finally, one last guy- You! *Grabs* You will respond to the emoji people describing what makes the above characters problematic! Maybe you could say something simple and common like 'Oh yeah, π π and ππ«are cousins!" It could be something that isn't actually problematic, but Antis make it problematic like "ππ«Ά and πγ½οΈ are best friends from childhood!" Or you can go really specific like "πβ€οΈ is a teen shota/loli who just got into sophomore year and π«π is the gym teacher who is also actually their aunt/uncle who is abusive and grooming them." Just take something problematic to antis and SLAP it onto the emojis. K?
Now finally, it will be up to ME- Or you know, anyone else who just gets a creative spark from the prompt- To draw them! I'll probably make a mini reference sheet, I'll draw them to their lore! I'll maybe draw them into a normal couple! I'll maybe name them idk, and best of all? I'll perchance write them their own lil story and background and shit! Yay, yay, yippee! Then we can all gather around and laugh and feel amused.
Huzzah! Please leave your emojis in the comments >:) I might add my own emoji combos if I feel like it. And feel free to add as many emojis combos as you'd like, idc I just wanna draw Problematic couples.
And then WE'RE the bad guys.
Fandom has become so unfun nowadays. Just interacting with the media in general, honestly. I miss when I could watch someone make a negative review on something and hear actual reasons why it wasn't enjoyable (but still okay for other people to like it) rather than "This show is dealing with dark topics in a way I dislike."
I miss when it was actually ship whatever you want. I miss when people would ship whatever the heck they wanted regardless of canon. I miss when the most popular ship wasn't the canon ship. I miss when people could actually have fun.
Now it just feels like constantly having to avoid people because of the threat of actual harm because they weren't able to handle what they watched.
My best tip would be to block them before they even have a chance to interact with you. And if they do, block them. Fast.
Okay so we all know us proship accounts are some what prone to getting flagged or deleted bc antis love to abuse the reporting system. Letβs make a thread of tips around it?
*We color pick your clothes and find out you're just wearing really dark pink*
I know proshippers don't really have a style or anything because we're all different humans and such...
But I am starting to notice we all like the color pink
There is a deep rooted part of me that wishes to make an 'Anti' tumblr blog, where I do what I do here but anti style, gain a bunch of followers and stuff, then make a final post saying 'Sorry guys, i am a proshipper now. This space makes me miserable." And end it on that.
I probably won't because i actually WILL be miserable.
Thoughts on pinecest? I'm putting together a team...
I def think it's Uber cute. Ever since I've played the Coffin of Andy and Leyley any boy girl sibling pair has been on my radar to be redrawn as them
Alright friends, I'm bored. Send me requests to draw stuff and I'll sketch it.
I'll draw or doodle anything really, although know that NFSW will look kinda shitty and will have to be cropped and sent to some site in the shadow rehelm.
Go destroy my ask box, do it do it
