Well yeah, platonic baths are totally a thing. I was mostly meaning why you'd post another hygine/bath time meme with a focus on shipping when you can just make the first one shippy.

Definitely wasn't thinking about f'ing kids like that other anon thought, wtf.

it was a joke about how people constantly post memes that are basically the same as a meme from three days before, but with an insignificant change like "now for shipping" when the first meme could also have been for shipping

if you're going to completely stonewall me in a text meme and give me nothing to respond to, why even tag back?

Sometimes it happens. I've had it where it didn't seem to go through and I've posted twice.

Don't be a dick. PM them, link the threads, and let them delete one.

saying "canonmates preferred" isn't bad or wrong, do whatever you like, but... when their character is a mythology OC what do they mean

My issue is that I tagged their top level and instead of just ignoring the tag if they didn’t like my character, they just gave me the text equivalent of [ blinks ].

this is just a stab in the dark anon but

maybe

and again, i'm just guessing here

maybe they mean characters from the same myth

but like, would that include stuff like disney's hercules characters? other off shoots of norse mythology like MCU thor and loki? there's no distinction there at all

i mean

i would assume it would include other ocs from the same myth

not characters from other canons, who are decidedly not canonmates, due to being from other canons

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2022-02-22 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Are all OCs canonmates then?

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2022-02-22 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
are they from the same myth

no?

then no

I think anon is just saying it's weird for OCs to talk about having canonmates when they by design have no canonmates.

Re: dda

(Anonymous) 2022-02-22 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
sure, i didnt say it was ideal phrasing or whatever

but it doesnt exactly take a genius to wrap your brain around what they mean and takes like "BUT DOES DISNEYS HERCULES COUNT??" and "ARE ALL OCS CASTMATES???" stem either from being intentionally obtuse to miss the point, or from being fucking braindead

if they're being purposely obtuse then you're taking the bait, anon

I mean, it might be kind of funny or cute if a Hercules god tagged a Greek Myth god OC but the live action PB people probably wouldn't be cheesed about it and would refuse to make it fun, if they tag back at all. So I think it's a pretty decent question to ask.

Re: dda

(Anonymous) 2022-02-22 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
look im not defending the live action pb people and i agree with you

but i dont think you need to ask, really

hercules is not the same canon as rando lapb mythology oc anymore than xena or kevin sorbo's hercules is

it is not difficult to grasp

sorry, reading this back and realizing it was unclear

the point im trying to make is if you posted xena warrior princess and requested castmates only, and i threw disney's hades at you solely because xena knows some olympians so they MUST be from the same canon, youd probably be kind of fucking pissed at me

because we're not canonmates just because both canons draw from the same very large well of inspiration
