Anyone over the age of 20 who decides to flirt with a high schooler is literally disgusting. I don’t know why you guys drool over that AU so much, it’s nasty. Also, @ all you cegan shippers who say “oh Carl is 18 in my ship which means he’s a consensual adult,” yeah okay but your brain isn’t actually fully developed until 24-25, and any sane adult wouldn’t be flirting with somebody who’s still basically a child. Anyways, that’s the tea. - a former cegan shipper
Okay, look it’s 3–almost 4am where I am, I’ve been typing essays all day to the point where my fingers are numb (I wish I was exaggerating) and I mentally don’t have the brain capacity to make sure everything is grammatically correct so please do ignore my illiteracy that may appear at any given point.
So first and foremost I would like to point out that I ship Cegan due to their CHARACTER DYNAMIC. NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE GAP.
I’ve probably written like two, maybe three fics where Carl was 18 (and one where he was 17 which I will admit was slightly problematic but it was the POINT OF THE FIC) but in most if not all my fics Negan is also AGED DOWN (exhibit a: https://httpcegan.tumblr.com/post/184355191451/teenage-fever-note-high-school-cegan-anyone-no , my fic where Negan is also a teen)
In almost everything I write, Carl’s age is never definitively given and I typically envision him as in his early or nearing his mid-twenties. (LITERALLY EVERYTHING I WRITE IS PRACTICALLY A COLLEGE AU WITH CARL LIKE 3 OR 4 YEARS INTO COLLEGE SO LIKE PLEASE.)
I would also like to point out that in the show verse Carl is significantly mature for his age which I will admit tends to make him appear older than what he is (or atleast in my opinion) and literally in the show, Carl is not seen as a kid because he isn’t a kid anymore. All the trauma and shit he went through literally forced him to grow up and become an adult which literally everyone around him saw. And he grew up because HELLO it’s the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE which I’m sure would boast any kid or teen with common sense’s maturity rate!!
Speaking of the zombie apocalypse, that also brings me to the point of this being a fictional ship.
As in, honey, it’s not real.
Kudos to you for attempting to be a social justice warrior, like seriously, way to go, but here’s a little tip, how about you go after actual predators? Ya know, not people who write fanfic about two consenting adults? I’m sure you would work WONDERS in that field.
But since I’m so tired and really don’t owe you shit, especially not an explanation for why I ship what I ship, let me direct to a reminder as to what the purpose of fanfiction is:
