'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 !

when im highkey in love w bro but he has the most LETHAL face card ever and im just some dude teaching him piano and having to stare at his hands while i teach him for 30+ min a day is lowkey driving me insane

fic delay... again..

allow me a moment to offer my deepest apologies to you all, the fic will be delayed yet AGAIN. funny story, i have an event called solo ensemble coming up this friday where you perform pieces with 2-3 other people. pretty simple right?? the problem is, i just got given the music today. would be easy if the instrument im playing for it wasn't one i've literally NEVER played before. it'll hopefully be easy for me and give me more time to work on the fic as it IS a kind of drum and i specialize in those kinds of instruments (i've become more mallet-oriented but whatever we dont talk about that)

please pray for my sudden ability to play tenor drums and for my back as the drums literally weigh more than half my body weight and i have to carry them up stairs

I miss you pre-borderlands niragi😭

where the HELL did half of niragi's character go in the live action??

i absolutely LOVE niragi's catholic undertones throughout the alice in borderland manga, everyday i grieve the fact that the series had used the tunnel scene instead of the church scene for him, which i think contributed to the mass niragi mischaracterization in the side of the fandom that has not looked into the manga. his desires to be liked and feel wanted mentioned in the king of clubs not being present in the live action genuinely disappointed me- although admittedly harder to portray through cinematography, ill give them that, it could've worked just fine with a bit of monologue. he deserved more than a flashback and a one-liner. get this man some character development and an in depth character arc in season 3 STAT !!! although unredeemable, i need to see him represented for what he was in the manga :(

HI GAY BOY!!!

im gonna touch you next tuesday.

i like my men pathetic with long messy hair
