📢I’m actively taking commissions right now! If you’re interested, feel free to send me a request through Skeb or check out my website through the link!
I can draw M/M, M/F, F/F, yume/self-ships—anything! You can check my main account or Pixiv for examples of my art style and the kind of work I do. Requests are always welcome!

Aphelios, assassin of the Lunari—if the mission required it, he’d wear whatever he had to without batting an eye.
And then, after some stuff happens and Sett ends up dragging him off somewhere, Sett just openly looks him up and down and goes, “Damn. You’re wearin’ one hell of an outfit.”
And THAT’S when Phel’s ears finally start turning a little red.
This would be extremely good for my health.
- Personally, I can’t stand people who insist their own headcanon is somehow more “correct” than the actual canon, people who throw around blatant double standards, or people who constantly blur the line between fiction and reality.
That’s basically it lol.
So, to sum it all up:
- Fans should be free to love whatever ships they want.
- Fans should also be free to distance themselves from people or content however they need to protect their own peace.
Obviously I do think blatantly discriminatory stuff is bad. But separate from that, I see this kind of thing all the time with fiction where people go, “Well, in real life it would be like this, so obviously…” or “It would be more correct if it were this way,” even when there’s literally nothing in the original canon that says or shows that at all.
And that’s the part I find really weird. If the official material clearly says A, how can someone so confidently declare their own headcanon B to be the “correct” interpretation? Like… B can be a perfectly fun interpretation! But it’s still your interpretation lol.
Like, instead of just going “this is my ship / my headcanon / the kind of character interpretation I enjoy,” it sometimes turns into “but realistically, someone like this would…” or “if you actually understood this character, logically they would…” and then suddenly a personal fandom preference starts being treated like an objective argument 😭
Can I say this? lol I don’t know if it’s just a cultural difference, but sometimes I feel like people in English-speaking fandom spaces are more likely to connect fiction directly to real-life values and identity.(+)
I mean, I actually enjoy hyper-masculine stuff as its own kind of fantasy too lol. But if you’re going to start talking about what’s “correct” or “logical” in fanworks, you should probably actually read the canon material and understand the characters you’re talking about first. Otherwise it just turns into, “Dude, what are you even talking about…?”
It had absolutely nothing to do with me and I still got secondhand embarrassment reading it lmao
So even if there’s a ship I personally don’t make content for, if those characters genuinely have interactions or some kind of connection in the official material, I’m not going to deny that people might enjoy shipping them.
There are actually plenty of ships I like or am perfectly happy to see that I almost never talk about here. That’s mostly just me being considerate of the people who follow me. I might talk about a relationship if it’s explicitly established in canon, but otherwise I tend to keep a lot of my other shipping interests to myself.
