Just Me Word Vomiting My Thoughts

AKA I have too many thoughts about fandom culture and need them in one place

Writing is so hard when you see other people doing it. Like I read a 32k oneshot written by a literal 13-year-old that rewired my brain and here I am, unable to string two words together

Multishipping is so fucking fun how have people not tried it more yet?

Take my darling blorbo Dick Grayson for example. I have engaged with BirdFlash, Dickkory, DickBabs, JayDick, and way too many poly ships to list here and... BANGERS, all of them!

It just puts the character into such stark perspective and it teaches you to chill the fuck out so yeah, people should try it out a little more

(note: obviously you're going to prefer a ship over the other sometimes and some people are not made for multishipping, but things get sooo much chiller when you try it out!)

People need to stop putting relationships in little boxes.

Yes, they're the same age. Yes, they have a mentor-mentee relationship the fandom classifies as parental.

Yes, they're siblings. Yes, he considers his older brother to be his parent.

Yes, those people have complicated relationships that cannot be defined as strictly platonic/familial/romantic/whatever else you want to think and it is okay.
