… I lowkey hate shipping to be honest. Not outright, I do it too, but just the way that it becomes the MOST IMPORTANT THING drives me bananas. Somehow the ship becomes more important than the character and it just honestly I think it ruins the ability to talk about the character. They don’t need to be half of a whole. Who are they, just them?
But even posts about that get hijacked by one ship or another. I mean like who you like and ship who you ship, but remember that a person is a person.
There’s a line in criminal minds where someone is talking about shower sex and how awkward it can get and she says “I mean there comes a point where a girl’s gotta wash her hair alone, you know”
Just let that character be that character, discuss their character traits, and needs, and wants and hopes and desires, that do not include a specific relationship, for the love of god please.
