people don’t enjoy shipping anymore. the point of shipping isn’t the catharsis of watching them kiss onscreen, it’s grabbing the characters and mashing their faces together like you’re five years old playing Barbie in your room again. it’s to take one moment of eye contact in canon and read that over and over and over again with twenty different writers’ interpretations of the characters internal monologues if they were in love. it’s to see the characters interact and cheer because you know that’s another moment to add to your list of canon compliant fic ideas. you’re stressing yourself out, this is supposed to be fun!
#this doesn’t apply to everyone#like it’s soooo important for queer couples and queer representation to be shown in media#but like I feel like a lot of people allow the canon of a piece of media to like take away a lot of their personal joy#klance#steddie#jayvik#johnlock#stonathan#there’s such freedom in shipping something that will never be canon#ronance#also canon can be boring and annoying sometimes like sometimes the writers are stupid and need to gtfo#zukka#reddie#weblena#elmax#daisira#dyehard#gelphie#natsby#cassunzel#stormpilot#stony#stucky#sambucky#finnpoe#lokius#wolfstar#buddie#riv rambles
