"Shippers of [Insert Problematic Ship] have missed the point of the story told'

Actually, has it occured to you that we know what the story is. That it's possible to BOTH understand what the creator is trying to convey and at the same time enjoy/explore an dynamic between two characters.

[starrfettii]

Book Alina: *brings a building down on him.*

Book Sasha: there are two thrones on that dais. Marry me. Rule Ravka with me. Please. Pretty please? You’re so hot when you try to kill me.

Show Alina: *leaves him for dead *

Show Sasha: *starts wearing a kefta embroidered with gold*

"You can't ship them because it's toxic/problematic!"

God forbid a character dating someone that wasn't morally good/a ray of sunshine since the beginning 🙄

[theweeklydiscourse]

The most irritating phenomenon to come out of shipping discourse is people applying arbitrary limits to very broad dynamics under the guise of objective analysis. They talk about what “works” and what doesn’t “work” as if their preferences are universal and not influenced by their own unique experiences and beliefs. They confuse what they personally enjoy for what is “correct”.

This is how you get people saying crazy stuff like “Enemies to Lovers can only work well when neither of the characters are aligned with something inherently evil” or claiming that it’s morally wrong to ship characters with an uneven power dynamic. Like…enemies to lovers is a trope that is defined by pushing and pulling between the parties involved. The power dynamics are subject to change and that’s what makes it so engaging. Why are you so obsessed with defanging the core ethos of the trope?

WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN HOBBY LOBBY

[barbararbra]

No, he fucking loved her. He finally found someone like him, someone with power so unique it would be known throughout the world. Someone who he could love forever after watching countless loved ones die. I know he wanted power, but he grew up being hunted, being treated less than because of what he is. How can you expect him to act any different? He loved her.
