OMG SAME @NON STEREK STORIES. IT ESPECIALLY SUCKS BECAUSE YOU'RE ON SOME STEREK FEELS HIGH AND THEN YOU DIE A LITTLE WHEN YOU SEE THAT NOTP THAT WOULD SUBJECTIVELY BE A GOOD READ AND THEN YOU TRY TO READ A LITTLE BIT BUT CAN'T AND THEN YOU TRY MENTALLY CHANGING THE OTHER NAME INTO DEREK OR SOME SHIT TO FOOL YOURSELF INTO THINKING IT'S STEREK BUT IT'S A MEGA NO AND YOU GOTTA PURGE YOUR EYES BY REREADING YOUR FAVE FIC 😂
Monoshipping is rough, anon. I don’t think multishippers can fully understand that miserable ache in our gut when we see our OTP paired with someone else... especially NOTPs because yeah, there are still definitely levels of it. There are ships I’m just like “meh, but why when there’s Sterek” about and there are ships that itch in my brain like a virus for hours afterward.
And sometimes you almost wish you could multiship because there are awesome writers and potentially awesome fics about other ships, but I just can’t, you know? Sterek is it for me. We’re lucky to be part of such a large fandom though, that so many people see the beauty in these two. Even though we can’t touch other ships, we still have stories and art for basically every trope we could ask for. I’m really so grateful for this fandom, it’s amazing <3
