I've been seeing more and more posts lately where people say something along the lines of "Oh, I like Ship A but I don't ship it because I ship Ship B" and I...I don't compute?
Why limit yourself to one ship? I don't understand this mindset of only shipping one thing and if you indulge in another one you're betraying said ship. I'm not trying to be rude here, I genuinely don't understand it. Can anyone who feels this way explain their side? I just want to wrap my brain around it.
Why force yourself to indulge in only one set of characters when you can explore so many more? Open doors to new experiences, different points of view, different backgrounds! Meet new friends and see new content from amazing creators! The sky is the limit! I'm not saying you have to ship everything, there's always gonna be ships that just don't do it for you, but don't beat yourself up if you ship more than one.
Join me, friends. Let's explore what interests us to our hearts content. Let's put two random characters that have never met before together. How about tossing a 3rd into your OTP, make it an OT3. The main character falls in love with NPC #265? Tell me more!
Fandom shouldn't make you stressed! Sail the high seas of shipping with a whole battalion of ships and see where it takes you. 😜
