MICHAEL, GAVIN AND THE ENTIRE RT CREW DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE SHIPPING SO WHY SHOULD YOU?????
Ok so, I wasn't going to do anything about the hate in the mavin tag but I'm bored so...have a masterpost (alternatively named shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down cause you're about to get yo ass handed to you)
x
All board the S.S. MAVIN? let me take you on a ride...
Oh no, he sounds offended...we should probably stop you guys...
He hates the ship so much he just randomly gives shout-outs to the blog where he gets his Mavin fix...speaking of, this happened:
Michael went through a mavin blog and liked it
Not only did he not mind the shipping, but he fucking WENT BACK AND CREATED A TUMBLR JUST TO SEND THIS GIRL A MESSAGE ABOUT HOW HE LIKED HER BLOG....let that sink in for a bit.
My favorite bits in case you can't listen to the audio:
Michael: I found a tumblr the other day called fuckyeahmichaelgavin.tumblr.com
Barbara: *internet boyfriends*
Michael: Yeah, the little tab when you open it says video game boyfriends and it’s just like, a fucking website dedicated to like MAVIN, which is like Michael-Gavin combo?
Barbara: Is it bromance or like a romance?
Michael: No, it’s like romance, like, romantically
Ray: It’s like a OTP
Michael: Yeah, it’s like OTP.
---
Michael: it’s all just quotes from us. It’s ripped right from videos, and I’m just like, it’s just the gayest thing ever.
Lindsay: Or the gifs are exactly what happened in that moment like, well you did lean over and almost kissed Gavin on the cheek so, you know…
---
Michael: It’s fucking funny, it’s a nice website, I keep going back to it; there’s funny shit on there.
---
???: Was that the let’s play that eh...”D’you wanna hit me one time for being bad?”
Ray: That was pretty gay
Barbara: yeah
????: Fairly gay
Michael: Very gay. Perfect example, like, I’m scrolling through and there’s a little sketch, just a black and white sketch of me and Gavin like, looking a little gay, holding each other.
Barbara: Lookin a little gay
Michael: yeah, and Gavin’s like “Do you wanna hit me once for being bad Michael?” and I’m like “Yeah” and I’m like ‘Wow, that’s so gay’
Ray: *laughs*
Michael: And then I scroll down and right under that is the gif of that happening in the Let’s play, I’m like ‘Oh yeah, that did happen’
---
Michael: I created a tumblr just to send that guy a message and I was like ‘man, this website’s awesome, I can’t wait to tell Gavin about it’
....I mean seriously, I bet when they get bored they sit down and scroll through the tumblr mavin tag and laugh like idiots and read fanfic to each other dramatically.
* A lil Gavin section:
...Uhhhh Gavin? I'm pretty sure the only place Michael's name is spelled Mi-cool is in mavin fanfics/blogs.
Gavin watches the video game boyfriends fanvid
He thinks it's super gay too (because it is shhhhhh)
they hate it so much they keep refering to themselves as team nice dynamite ALL THE FUCKING TIME
Michael is just super efficient at finding all the mavin on the internet, like, kudos michael.

Exhibit B: THEIR CO-WORKERS SHIP IT HARDER THAN WE DO
Barbara mostly likes to laugh at michael and make suggestive faces at them...
x
...Michael fondles Gavin's leg and Brarbara side-eyes them????? (we know barabara...WE KNOWWWW)
Not cool guys, clearly they mind it so much they'd NEVER think of talking about them making out on twitter or anything...
fUCkiNG GUS ships IT your ARGUMENT IS INVALID
13:05 - They get asked about their favorite ships at RTX.... (hint: they all say mavin)
The RT twitter is a gold mine as well
---
Also, a link to caleb's post because it never stops being relevant
---
This section is just called AHWUs? MORE LIKE FANSERVICE BECAUSE W O W
x
WoW they aRe SO UPSET, it's not like they're encouraging it AT ALL, no sir!
they fucking know we exist and they don't give a shit GET OVER IT
00:47 - Oh he's hugging Michael...Oh it's so sweet the hugging
....and now they're tackling.
...Now they're kissing!
(i think jack is a big fan of stirring up the mavin tag during the AHWUs)

Exhibit C: my personal favorite one aka THE FUTURE WIFE SHIPS IT TOO SECTION (alternatively named LINDSAY IS A QUEEN AND Y'ALL SHOULD WORSHIP HER)
here's a link to the video because it's absolutely worth it
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥AUDIO POSTS OF DREAMS♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I don't know how to fucking embed audio because I'm an idiot but here Lindsay talks about competing with Gavin for Michael's attention and then just asks to watch when they eventually fuck (michael likes this agreement) BONUS MICHAEL TALKING ABOUT HOW FANTASTIC GAVIN IS.
Michael has a freudian slip and talks about fucking at work....no one even brings it up, Lindsay just goes DAMNIT GAVIN
Michael cries because his asshole is not good enough for Gavin (his words, not mine) and Lindsay cries as well
You guys touch dongs a lot...
Lindsay speaks in great detail about Gavin fucking Michael instead of Dumbledore and surprise, surprise! Michael is totally fine with it.
I'm telling you, Lindsay is all over this shit
W O W. WOWOWOWOWOWOW
Lindsay can't find a fuck to give about having a british idiot attached to his fiancé
Not a single one
...so the Lindsay section might even be the biggest one hahaHAHAHa
---
Exhibit D - LLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GAY!! (Or the guys play games while michael and gavin touch dicks swords and everyone loves to point it out)
31:45 - Ray: some mavin action.... can you guys do like a 69? (I think that's what he says but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Jack and Geoff enjoy referencing it in the let's plays A LOT....just sayin'
30:11 - Jack: why do you always have to talk about your spunk?
Michael: dude, people LOVE mavin spunk, are you kidding me?
...My personal favorite let's play
15:28 - Geoff: Jesus christ, just bang and get over it
Ray: Please fuck, you'll make a lot of people happy
Michael: FUCK YEAH MICHAELXGAVIN
Geoff: You'd make tumblr so happy
Ray: Mavin, bro!
HahaHAHa I can't HEAR You over The SOUNd of MichaeL liKinG MAVin So FUCkiNg MUCH
...Anyway, I could post a million other shit here but i think i made my point. We have a nice little corner here on Tumblr, please respect it. The RT crew and the people involved in the ship are okay with it, even enjoy it sometimes. And most important of all, Michael and Gavin have a beautiful friendship that is worth admiring, so keep on Mavin-ing!
Edit: If after all this you still need a mavin pick-me-up just watch these:
Team Nice Dynamite
The Boy Saw a Comet (which is based on the most gorgeous larry fanvid ever)
