#every ship is valid

[maukree]

Every ship is valid.

A ship that isn’t your thing is valid. A ship that gives you ewwww vibes is still valid. That one crack ship that only one person wrote about, posted on AO3, and has 23 views in four years—also valid.

What isn’t valid is spending more time hating a ship than enjoying your own—and ruining it for others with negativity. I don’t understand the point of putting more effort into tearing down a ship than its actual shippers do building it up. At this point, if that’s your thing, your OTP isn’t your OTP—it’s hating a ship, making sure the boat you don’t even like sinks.

Ship what you love. Ignore what you don’t. Write fanfics, make art, memes and moodboards, record podfics, make fan videos and craft, daydream up your headcanons. Whatever keeps your boat afloat, as long as it’s not ruining someone else’s fun.

Let people enjoy things. Fandom is meant to be fun.

Which is the best TLH ship?

Matthew x recovery

happiness x Cordelia

Alastair x healthy relationship

writing career x Lucie

James x a book

good health x Jesse

Grace x loving family

life x Barbara

Eugenia x good reputation

love x Thomas

Anna x tea

a laboratory x Christopher

You can't choose? Well, you don't need to. Because bullshit like "best ship" do not exist.

You were a marktina stan in LM??? Oh! I was too! Tho I still am and it feels kinda out of place when the whole fandom is kierarktina shipper (no problem with that)?? I just prefer mark and cristina together better, but well 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m a hardcore kierark shipper, but yeah I feel like a lot of the fandom jumped on kierarktina (which is totally great) and now most of the mark content we have now is of him in kierarktina edits and such

you can participate in the zimbo poll WITHOUT putting down other ships. I KNOW. please do not put down clexa or supercorp or sanvers or any other ship. vote for your ships, promote your ship, but do not put down another ship as a reason that your ship should win.

As I answer your ask (thank you!) I want you to also do The Last Kingdom for the fandom ask 😜

Thank youuu! 🤩❤️

send me a fandom and i’ll tell you…

the first character i ever fell in love with: I really liked Uhtred from the beginning when he defended Thyra as children tbh

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: I don't think I have anyone fitting that description, I'm pretty consistent with these things

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: same here haha 

my ultimate favorite character™: Sihtric baby

prettiest character: Uhtred, he is a pretty boy

my most hated character: uH so many applicants for this one... Haesten or Eardwulf maybe (also Aethelwold and Aethelred lol) UH i was writing another question and remember about Gisela’s brother which at the moment i don’t remember his name, such a bastard

my OTP: Finan/Sihtric uwu 

my NOTP: I think I don’t have a notp, I dont really pay enough attention to those things to develop an opinion! 

favorite episode: 2x03 will always have a special place in my heart because is such a great episode (although is pretty intense emotionally speaking) but I think it develops a perfect story with a beginning and an end (and it’s really good in terms of character study)

 saddest death: Halig or Beocca not only because what they meant for Uhtred but how the show dealt with it. 

favorite season: Don’t make me choose between my children! But season 2 have a special place in my heart

least favorite season: I loved all the season equally but I admit that season 1 is a bit slow at the beginning but it has such a nice theme or vibe that I still love it 

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Oh gosh I don’t hate anyone, but I don’t love Alfred and he’s a fandom favorite. I think he’s a really complex and interesting character and his relationship with Uhtred was really good to see develop, but most of the time he was on the screen i was like “can someone hit him please”

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Sigefrid lol he was funny

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: everyone in the coccham squad tbh but specially sihtric can someone give him more lines pls

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: the other day i saw a post about aldhelm and aethelred and i was like... uh-uh. Could be interesting because definitely something was up back when Aldhelm was an asshole

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Hmmm, maybe Beocca and Thyra, because how can’t you not ship them but also shipping them is like shipping your parents idk

I love watching ship discourse from the sidelines because I’m over here like I ship that, I ship them, that’s a ship? Hell yeah, ship it too. Every ship is valid to me. There is no discourse in my heart.

Except...if anchovies belong on pizza. Hard limit there.
