I reblogged this post about what we were doing before we ever shipped fictional characters.

YouTube keeps reccing “what your favorite [X Fandom] ship says about you” videos, and it’s like … without additional information, your ship says nothing about you! Yes, even if it’s [Ship Someone Really Hates]. Other people don’t know your life and motivations, and it’s patently obvious that people ship the same things for different reasons. It’s how you ship it + other behavior that reveals something of yourself—and even that is easy for strangers to lump into an undifferentiated mass.

I’m completely immovable on this point, so why I keep getting these videos is a mystery.

#i mean #at least the recs evolved from 'racist and misogynistic takes on tolkien' and 'dudebros whining about star wars' #to just inane shit #(okay and she-ra fanvids) #(but that is not a mystery lol)

[ETA 5/9/2024: this has completely disappeared from the algorithm over the last couple of years, which I find mildly interesting as a phenomenon! People asked if I was thinking of one specific YouTuber and I wasn't, I just kept getting recced this kind of thing.]

I reblogged this and added:

Well … parts of them are and I sort of make the rest work in my head. Anyway!

Current Music: One and Only (Adele)

I am so weak for relationships where Person B is the devoted bff and/or right hand of Person A and ready to spring to their defense at any moment … even though Person A is perfectly capable of looking after themself and probably more powerful than B, anyway.

#i was thinking of one of my ships veering that way in an au scenario #and then was like... i've only done this idk four times in my original fic #what's one more

idk about you all, but I really appreciate that all songs ever written are about a) my ships or b) my OCs

Tagged: #context: i was using the rowing machine (which i hate) and putting on a fave playlist to make it tolerable and it was like #oh hey! korvira! #*song switches* #isn't that originally from sesame street? but yeah anyway it's totally [aggressive co-protag of original novel]

I responded to a post from Tumblr user trillscienceofficer about the relief of non-canon ships, since they can always be better in your head than if they were canon, and added:

#lmao this is me about seventy percent of the time #also #there are some creators who make really interesting and engaging things #but just ... canNOT write romance #it is really for the best that they don't get their hands on my ships!

I do truly get why some lesbians are really into m/m, but the assumption that all of us prefer ships with no women in them is so, so, weird to me.

I like male characters individually, I very easily identify with them, and I enjoy their relationships and dynamics with others of any genders. But when it comes to romance, 90% of the time I do not give a single fuck if there aren’t one or more women involved. So I keep seeing these posts about how this m/m ship or that one is what gay people really want, or how only straights would like X, or how m/m shipping is part of being a lesbian in fandom or whatever, and it’s just like … speak for yourself, sis.

(Look. My femslash and het ships are not activism. But they are impacted by my orientation because it deeply influences how I engage with romantic content. This is probably true of most people! But it doesn't give any of us a claim to dictate how the're going to interact for everyone!)

I remembered that I didn't finish the polls over here! I find them really entertaining, so I'm going to keep going with them. I think the results have been the same as on Tumblr thus far, but we'll see as it goes on!

I reblogged a post about the feeling of squee (not their word, lol) when half of a pairing touches the other half's face and the second person leans into it, and I added:

#i saw the picture of this in austen's pride and my heart nearly stopped

After these many years, it’s occurred to me that my Faramir/Éowyn vs Faramir/Aragorn angst is basically just my Darcy/Elizabeth vs Darcy/Fitzwilliam angst, But More.

romansleftshoulderpad on Tumblr said that most people's favourite ship dynamics are just a character they can project onto + their type, and I tagged it:

#this is one hundred percent me haha #though often this is how my faves themselves are—a mix of things where i'm like 'hey! i feel you!' and things where i'm like 'wow amazing'
