ToA (he/him)

Have you stopped to unpack why Ralsei is a hater towards Flowery? Because it’s not because he’s annoying or unkind or destructive or any of the things Ralsei has been encouraging Kris to avoid the entire game.

In fact, he’s almost everything that Ralsei preaches. He serves lightners. He’s pacifistic. He’s kind and encouraging to all the darkeners. He wants to defy the prophecy, not for his sake, but for the sake of a lightener who is precious to him.

The only difference…. Is his honesty. Flowery is GENUINE. And No, faking his stats isn’t dishonesty. Quite the opposite. He’s not afraid to expose the system.

Flowery isn’t holding up the facade. He isn’t afraid to confront the prophecy head on at the cost of his own existence, just for the slim chance that he can make his lightener happy.

“The vast garden is charred in an inferno of jealousy.”

Do we all hate Flowery because he’s over-the-top and annoying? Maybe. But does Ralsei hate him for those reasons? Absolutely not.

no. proship literally just means anti censorship and anti harassment. proship does not necessarily mean liking every taboo ship. it does not necessarily mean normalizing any taboo ship.

you can be proship even if you hate every single ship that is taboo. as long as you don’t harass or shame real people over fiction, then by the definition, you are proship.

almost every person who is proship has something they dislike, hate, or even find disgusting. the point is not to normalize any of these taboo things. the point is literally to not shame, harass or censor people who enjoy the things they enjoy as long as it’s fiction and no one in real life is harmed.

how can anyone hate Flowery. he shows Aqua how to hold a knife safely. he teaches Seth how to be more confident. he's Orange's big brother and hypes her up. he's friends with Green, sparring partners with Yellow and dances with Blue.
