Disclaimer:
I’m actually a Pro-Shipper. I’m not here to tell you what you can and cannot ship.
This blog is about anything not a Canon x Canon ship. This includes: Reader inserts, self-ships, imagines, etc.
This blog will also be about how much I hate Polyshipping / OT3+
Basically this is where I dump my personal shipping opinions.
FAQ:
“If you’re pro-ship, why are you anti-reader inserts??”
Because I find them uninteresting, creepy, gross, and a waste of perfectly good shipping potential for canon characters. Also because I have no emotional investments in your shallow excuse for a character. Be it OC, yourself, an imagine, or a random reader there’s no pre-existing emotional attachment there. I’m interested in seeing canon characters I care about bang, not a shallow faceless uninteresting generic excuse for a character I can’t relate to or enjoy the tiniest bit getting it on with a character I love who already has so much wasted shipping potential with literally any canon character in the source material. So yeah.
“Okay, so you don’t like it, why ruin the fun for others??”
Because there are certain fandoms where reader inserts make up the bulk of shipping fics and even sometimes, fanart. As tho no one gives a fuck about the canonical character dynamics. If there was more balance of content, I wouldn’t be so annoyed. If people tagged their shit properly I also wouldn’t be so annoyed.
“What about polyships then??”
That’s involving a personal trauma. Plus I just find them emotionally gross and a pack of lies. The only exceptions are, for both OCs and polyships, are straight up Mob x Canon because I like to see my faves suffer. So yeah.
“So you’re a pro-shipper, meaning you’re okay with all sorts of nasty shit in fiction but you choose to take issue with harmless reader inserts and loving polyships?? Why??”
Different strokes for different folks. Plus I’m not claiming anything moral about my stance. I’m not saying you’re a bad person for liking the shit I hate (boring, maybe, shallow too, but not bad). I’m very much pro freedom of speech and even tho I despise reader inserts and polyships to my core I will still defend your right to read / write them. But this doesn’t mean I can’t talk about how I fucking hate them personally. Basically, I’m not on a high horse casting moral judgement on anyone here. I’m all in favor of there being more nasty shit in fanfiction actually. That’s part of the wasted potential for me, personally, among other things. So yes that IS what I’m doing, in a sense.
“Why label is an anti blog if you’re a pro-shipper then?”
Because while anti’s are generally garbage people with garbage opinions and garbage dispositions who do terrible things... I cannot deny it’s a clear cut catchy shorthand for saying you don’t like shit. So it’s shorthand really. I do not condone harassment, death threats, or anything of that nature. Ever. I may rag on people and what they choose to ship, but I will never pretend to act like I’m morally superior for it. So while I am, sorta, anti certain things - I’m not an actual anti-shipper. Again this is due to the fact that I believe you can like whatever you want and I’m not trying to stop you.
“So what is the point of this blog then??”
Venting my frustrations. That’s pretty much it.
“Stop ruining my fun!!”
You ruin your own fun, bro. If my opinions bother you just block me. Personally I’d love to block every single reader insert, imagines, etc blog but it’s rare people accurately tag this bullshit. But if my opinions ruin your fun then your fun seems pretty fragile. Personally, if someone gave me shit about what I liked I’d just go read the shit they hate and move on with life. But hey, usually the people who do that to me are harping on about how terrible I am because of what I enjoy. I’m not doing that to you.
In short, welcome to my blog! If you happen to share my opinions then congrats you’re not alone after all! If you don’t share my opinions then perhaps you can take something away from this blog, or maybe not. If you’re here to give me shit because I hate your shit — why bother? I made it clear I’m not trying to stop you or anything.
If you have anymore questions or want to ask me personal shit, feel free.
As for the what to call me, eh idk, I guess “Chiyo” since that’s the name of my pfp character (from Murcielago in case anyone cares).
CLARIFICATION: As for the title “canon ships are always superior”, I mean canon x canon ships. Not just ships that are canon in canon.
