What I feel not enough people get about shipping/AUs is that it isn’t whats most likely to happen or even whats realistic to the original media. It’s all about the what if?’s and entertainment value of the outcome, sometimes you just want to burn something to see what’ll happen! Do I ship them yes, do I think they have a good/healthy relationship no!
I hate the sanitisation of fandom and the inability to separate consuming/making media from wanting to do those actions in real life. Like I swear this is just the “video games make you violent” thing all over again…
