often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away

I think people sometimes have differing opinions about what “shipping” entails… like if I ship characters it’s not that I necessarily think they should have been canon or in a relationship or anything, it’s just that I think their dynamic is interesting to explore and I also want to see them kiss a lil

Fandom culture veering into this incessant need to have every little delusion and fantasy confirmed by canon is really what's made "shipping culture" so insufferable. The whole point of shipping is you can literally do whatever you want and explore the dynamics outside of canon. That's the point! You don't need the source material to breastfeed you anything confirming your theories and headcanons. You just need an imagination and an ability to enjoy shit without becoming an insufferable, mushbrained pissbaby when canon doesn't tell you all your delusions are real.
