i hate hate HATE rpf shipping especially w ccs because those r real people and like they can SEE what u post, but saying that, idk if it would be weird to say that i wouldn't be surprised if anything happened between false and ren ?? ik it contradicts what i just said and all and i don't want to be pulling evidence out of my ass or anything but it's particularly ren who just ??? is so obvious sometimes ? idk if that makes sense

also, lukewarm take but treebark (mostly martyn) fans piss me off SOOO much sometimes, especially how they ignore false when she's frequently on his channel in favor of martyn, mostly in shipping spaces/videos/whatever. absolutely nothing against martyn, but particularly on tiktok/twitter (cesspool, i know), fans will blatantly ignore her despite her presence on his channel on things like ship/duo videos and only talk about martyn even when he's not mentioned?? i don't mean to be the woker but it's getting to the point where it just feels like misogyny ? 😭 i may be biased because im fans of both false and ren and don't rly watch martyn/the life series in general but false and ren interact so much i feel like it's impossible to be a fan of him and NOT know how close he is with false ?. anyway i know this is rly minor and lukewarm or whatever but. im probably that one friend thats too woke

i think it has a lot to do with the overabundance of life series fans. they have a whole lot of people talking about treebark, making art, writing stuff, shipping, etc, simply because it is SO big. i'd say there's way more people that watch ren for life series compared to his solo and hermitcraft stuff, which means that they straight-up just wouldn't click on videos any non life series videos and entirely miss those that have any ren and false interaction. while i DO maintain that that's a huge factor on why there isn't much visibility on that, i gotta say that online fandoms-- ESPECIALLY fandoms like life series and hc-- have an over fixation with gay ships. i'd say that the popularity goes with gay at first, poly second, lesbian third, and straight at dead last. obviously there are the gay fans that just wanna see representation of themselves by shipping same sex ppl, but COME ON. there are a ridiculous amount of people who fetishize the gay ships solely for being gay ships. i fear renfalse was doomed from the beginning. people are aware of the ship but they choose to not gaf abt it.
