The main reason my SO and I will break up.
We were sitting together and talking and I said:
āYeah Iām just really into reading fanficts about my OTP ships. Like Zutara and Fuffy (Faith and Buffy)ā
Him: āOh, cool. Are they canon?ā
Me: āWhat? Of course not. God I wish they fucking were!ā *laughs*
Him: āThen shipping them is pointless.ā
Me āā¦. whatā¦ā
Him: āShipping them is pointless. Like Zutara, they hated eachother. And she ended up with Aang and he ended up with Mai. Plus they had kids with who the ended up with and loved them. So itās pointless to ship Zutara.ā
Me: āā¦.ā
Him: āWhy would you devote so much to something that will never be?ā
Me In my head: LIKE THE FUTURE OF THIS RELATIONSHIP?
Me IRL: āI donāt think you get how shipping works.ā
Him: āNo I do, but once itās all said and done and the series is finished then itās pointless. Like if the show was still going and you said Zutara, Iād be like yeah okay. But itās over. You lost. So why would you keep shipping?ā
Me: āI may have lost, but Iām not convinced Iām on the wrong side.ā
Him: āWas that an ATLA quote?ā
Me: āOH MY GOD NO THAT WAS FIREFLY TAKE ME HOME RIGHT NOW!ā
