Let me be clear: NOTHING and I say NOTHING can stand between me and shipping two characters.
“They don’t know each other” Simple. AU/What if
“They have barely even met” It’s love at first sight DUH.
“They hate each other” They are trying/just really good at hiding their feelings + it gives the opportunity for enemies to lovers.
“They canonically love someone else” Fuck canon, they’re Star-crossed lover or afraid to admit their feelings because of whatever + opportunity for angst.
“The author doesn’t like the ship” THAT’S TOO DAMN BAD should’ve thought of it before giving me the opportunity to like it.
“They would be better with someone else” So what ? Let’s ship them together too while we’re at it or even better, let’s make it a love triangle or a poly relationship.
“They’re aren’t attracted to that gender” Was it confirmed?? Or did you assume it was the case because we don’t know their sexuality :) ?
“They’re just friends” Not under my watch.
And the list goes on.
