LMAO What makes it worse is they are these big Cersei/Jaime Tumblr presences and idk it just makes me sad to see people so consumed with a ship it basically runs their life to the point that they have to bad mouth other blogs.

It's just so childish. Like, I hardly EVER see J/B shippers bad-mouthing Jaime/Cersei, and definitely not specific blogs either, so I don't see why some J/C shippers feel the need to do this?? If you hate the ship so much just ignore it?? And why make it personal???

It just reminds me of a bunch of sixth graders pointing and laughing at another group of sixth graders on the playground, it's so fucking stupid. Just enjoy your ship! Have fun! And if you can't have fun without shitting on other people, well. That kinda says a lot about you.

burens replied to your post:I don't even post much on my ships anymore. The last straw was being informed and seeing some assholes from Tumblr badmouthing me on Twitter based on my preferences. *cough Jaime/Brienne cough* And, hence practically leaving the Game of Thrones fandom because it was just RIDICULOUS. There's more to a show or a film than a romantic entanglement. Enjoy it as a whole. If you can't, it's probably not that good in the first place.

Jackie, it was hilarious though. It was like they timed when I would be back on Tumblr (UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME WTF) and automatically took to Twitter. Once I got over my rage I couldn’t stop laughing.

Oh my god that is so hilariously sad, WOW

I really, REALLY do not understand why people get themselves so worked up over what people do or don’t ship. Like, are there ships that I totally hate and don’t understand why people ship them? Sure, but why would I waste my time dwelling on it? And why the HELL would I actually take the time out of my day to be a total fucking asshole and start informing people their ships are stupid and THEY’RE stupid for liking them? Like, what the hell is the point? Just mind yo damn business, jfc. Fandom is supposed to be fun, for god’s sake!

*slaps you a couple more times for good measure*

Well that just seemed a little unnecessary
