1:05 Am Thoughts That Will Probably Be Ignored Because I'm Never Here But I Just Need To Get It Off My

1:05 am thoughts that will probably be ignored because I'm never here but I just need to get it off my chest.

Whenever I stumble on a video about fandoms and shipping, I often see the "The ____ fandom doesn't need shipping! You can't shipp the characters because of the theme of it!" And I just laugh (dry, yellow) because that's like, so stupid to me?

Okay, the media doesn't focuses on romance, yeah, it might be dark (super dark even) but shipping is much more that just being: "I think I and R should make out and have nasty sex!" It's also giving a whole new depth for the relationship between the characters, creating scenarios to grow even more attached to them, give a new light, maybe an explanation to why you think they are like this in the media they are from, it's stimulating, it's fun and harmless.

I find it crazy how we went from shipping characters that had the same vibe/power/personalities coming from various shows to being firmly against it, and attacking people because they have harmless fun.

Like I said, shipping isn't only "I think I and R should kiss and have intensive sex" It's also "C and J have this bond they can't get rid of, they don't really try to, it's tearing them apart, bringing them closer, causing them to fight, cut and yell, and then hold, and sometimes, it is romantic, other times, it's pure manipulation, a need to keep the other, play pretend until the knife is red again and arms are wrapped around the other with a promise for a change, the other knowing it will never happen, but staying anyway because they want to."

And sometimes, shipping is: "L and L need each other, they could do fine in their life without them, but now that they are here, they'll do everything to make them stay, treat them like a treasure, make them feel seen, cared about. It'll be arms wrapped around each other, exchanging words, stories, pieces from the past they get to make a puzzle on to see the person they're holding in their arms really, the beauty and the ugly."

And yeah, sometimes you just want both your favorite characters to bang the hell out of each other because hey, sex's fun! (probably, idk).

Finally, if the media is dark or we are hitting a rough patch, you cannot be mad at people wanting to seek out happy and silly moments between the characters. Shipping is always welcome to give the happy vibe the media lacks.

That's it. Bye.
