>>4035914Not Millie, but taking a look myself it seems like artists just not knowing how to tag for ships rather than something nefarious. I can forgive simple ignorance, but it's kind of a shame how the perfect fandom etiquette we had back in the early 2000's is just completely gone now. I know it's silly to be bothered by this, but even fujoships top/bottom name order isn't followed anymore >go into appleradio tag looking for bottom deer kino>it's all top buff deer>fujos just tag it as radioapple and appleradio like they're interchangeable Drives me nuts
>>4035909I wouldn't expect a filter to catch everything, but seeing so much of it at once is bothersome if it means having to go so far as filter out non Hazbin tags like 'Vincent', ha. I do enjoy the way Tia draws Al, I just wish she drew more solo.>>4035914They're always fighting. Hardcore shippers on both sides are overly sensitive imo, but I doubt it's because of a fight. It's probably just people not bothering to properly tag or not caring. I'm a titty baby for getting triggered by it, but at the same time I know people get triggered by incest and lolisho, so I adequately tag. That way people don't have to get the ick while scrolling. I'm old enough to remember how careful people were about tagging back in the day, and how people lurked to read the room before posting all willy nilly.
>>4035930As an aside, I'm less versed in modern fujo shipping (I haven't had a fujo or hime ship since the mid 2010s), but I feel like instead of having proper tags for top/bottom we're out here making up half a dozen AU tags like 'Murdermedia' or 'Cannibalstatic'. Hell, I don't even remember people coming up with cutesy ass names back in the day. It would have been just Vox/Al or Al/Vox depending. Like, if I WAS into fujo content, what the fuck am I supposed to glean from Murdermedia? I can't tell who's pitching and who's catching lol.
very wip fic ive been working on and off, starting to post here!>Heat.>Heat was the only way to describe the feeling of being here, the initial excitement has long been eroded by it.>It was unlike anything in America, they’d been in Egypt for a week now, and the sun had finally won.the local thieves. >The travel and the funding. All the rest of the problems were nothing compared to this big one.>it was driving you mad!>No it wasn’t the heat…>that you decided on>it was him>Alastor the Radio Host>Why on Gods green Earth did you ask him along on this expedition>why did he say yes?>so many questions.>questions you were afraid to answer.>You glanced sideways at him as the two of you trudged toward the crumbling entrance of what you hoped was an unexplored tomb. >The desert sun had done something almost criminal to him >the hot golden light had kissed his usually pale skin perfectly.>He looked… good. Annoyingly good.
>>4035937>The narrow opening to the tomb looked more like a crack in the rock than an entrance. Sand had buried it over the centuries, hiding it from thief’s and the locals avaricious want to use the stone for their own lesser projects.>It was small, and unassuming, but most importantly, practically untouched by human hands>brilliant white Tura limestone yellowed by age. >shattered by a fault in its construction or a quake of the earth.>But all of it, still there.>“This could be it,” you said, unable to keep the excitement out of your voice. >You still couldn’t quite believe you’d done it. >For some reason, caught up in the excitement of Howard Carter’s discovery, you quickly halted your studies and began to plan.>you had extended an invitation and what extra funds you had to an old acquaintance and your favorite radio host.>One impulsive letter later, you had shipped yourself, and eventually Alastor, off to the land of pharaohs and pyramids.>now here all the weeks of research and travel, chasing old tales and piecing together ancient secondhand records>you were on the eve of potentially the greatest accomplishment in your life.>With your… friend right by your side.>you where lost in it all When Alastor’s voice brought you sharply back to reality.>“My dear friend,” he simply state, his smile natural “What exactly am I looking at here?”all I got done so far Sadly. been sitting on it too long! will get more done!
>>4035937>>4035938>Egyptologist Alastor Holy fucking keno, I love it so much. :D I hope he gets up to some shenanigans!
>>4035939I got plans either one or two things or it could continue into its own thing! Was originally a oneshot and it might stay that way. will see how I feel! also less Egyptologist more Interested observer up to no good!
>>4035945Looking forward to more, great start so far. That deer is naughty!
>>4035930I’m guilty of referring to the whole ship in general as Radioapple, but I’m usually just generalising and that’s the more popular dynamic by far. Using Appleradio for Radioapple feels deliberate, it’s frustrating nonetheless.>>4035935It’s kind of weird since I usually associate the ‘media’ part as Al and Vox together with another person, like Applemedia or Mediabelle. I guess everyone likes the alliteration or something…>>4035937>>4035938Yesss this is so good. The world needs more Alastor meddling with ancient Egyptian artefacts.
>>4035935>Hell, I don't even remember people coming up with cutesy ass names back in the dayIt wasn't really a thing back in the day IIRC, this is a weird modern phenomenon that seems especially prevalent in this fandom. I'm in two minds about it as I do find the naming conventions of the Hazbin fandom very cute, though it veers off into the confusing at times, like>seeing Charlastor being called RadioBelle when I'm so used to it being simply "Charlastor" for so long>I also get it mixed up with the more recent "StaticBelle" which was the first time I saw Charlie be called "Belle" in a ship >Chaggie apparently doesn't have a nickname like this??>the million variations of Radiostatic>me not knowing who the fuck is involved in the heaven ship names like "Serapherd" "FallenWings" "HolyGates", etc. >why is BambiLu even a thing??
>>4035954>I’m guilty of referring to the whole ship in general as RadioappleI think that's fine especially when discussing ships neutrally, I'm more annoyed when it's art, especially nsfw, that is tagged incorrectly. I get that people want the reach in views/likes, but man, Asian and Russian artists don't have this issue and abide by the sacred yaoi texts
>>4035955I wouldn't mind the ship names so much if they gave me a clear indication of who's who. Charlastor, Chaggie, and Huskerdust are fine, I remember back in the olden days people used to combine names if a ship was to have any name at all (Twilight flashbacks). I thought that RadioBelle was more of an East Asian thing, since I NEVER saw it in the Western fandom until very recently. Ships like RadioSmile had me pausing to think about who the hell 'smile' was supposed to be because that's Alastor's trait, I legitimately thought it was selfcest at first. I don't care for the Heaven set of characters, so outside of Al/Emily I have absolutely no idea what's what.>>4035956Pretty much this. RS has a billion different names, and if we're discussing it in general I'm not picky, but if I've gone to the trouble of filtering all 68 (that is not an exaggerated number) versions of a ship name I'm going to be annoyed if I see untagged porn if it. We all have to share a space, 99.9% of fujos don't want to see my yumeslop on their feeds so I try to be respectful with tagging.
>>4035956Using the correct tags definitely makes life easier, perhaps it’s the difference between using them to identify what it is you’re posting versus spamming every related tag for attention. >>4035959>radiosmileIdk why Alastor x Emily has so many names, there were legitimately like 2 artists drawing it before season 2. I guess it was so scarce that everyone kind of just made up their own. There’s also Angelicsmile, which kind of makes more sense but it’s pretty vague too. Radiojoy is the best I think, but joy is still kind of vague… it’s hard when characters aren’t as heavily associated with one thing. Radio is pretty obvious if you’re into Hazbin at all, there are no other characters who are associated with that. Some things make no sense, spear for lute when she doesn’t even use a spear? A lot of them come from fanon as well, it must be hell for new fans.
I finished the hoof care chapter! Finally, that was hanging over me a bit. https://archiveofourown.org/works/79333731/chapters/221360121
>>4036008Lovely stuff!
>>4036008Nice! I'm glad to see you're still working on this one. Have you thought of an ending, or do you want to keep it open to add to as inspiration strikes?
>>4036011Thanks!>>4036063It’s kind of become a dumping ground for any cute ideas I have… I don’t really have an idea for an ending, but I think it’s mostly run its course. They got together, they healed Alastor’s chest wound, they slept together, they moved in together. In terms of their relationship, there isn’t much more to do. It’ll probably continue until I run out of ideas, or get bored. I’d like to go back to the love letters idea though.
