“i disagree but i respect your opinion” no. i disagree and i respect your right to have an opinion but i still think your opinion is shit btw

This exactly.

I’m so glad someone said this. A lot of my fav ships I specifically have no desire to see become canon, especially since they’re often in shows that don’t really do much with romance and I PREFER them that way. Shipping and fan fiction are separate things for me.

“What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things”

shipping isn’t always romantic idealization either which is an annoying recent mindset in fandoms, mainly its liking the dynamic of two characters and wanting to explore it in fanwork whether it be for sappy cute reasons or horrible awful unhealthy reasons, whatever is appealing/interesting to you about the pair.

Don’t hide this in the tags, Petra! #sometimes ‘I ship it’ means ‘They would have fascinating sex’ #sometimes ‘I ship it’ means ‘They would damage each other interestingly’

Ship means something I want to see happen (in fanfic and fanart+)

This is why I get so upset when people attack rare pairs for not being cannon, like I’m not shipping them with the hope that they will be cannon, I’m shipping them because even if they haven’t met/don’t like each other/whatever else cannonically, I think it would be neat if they did, hell sometimes their colour pallets just match real nice

I AM ASCENDING.

BITCH I DIEDDDD WE WERE RIGHT!!!? AND ROBBED!!!? 😭😭😭😭😭

I just imagined Tony flying in his suit and Namors flying with his wings, and they look at each other saying nothing. But mentally calling each other a Poser or copycat.

i love namor giving shuri a little fuckin... friendship bracelet (i know it has much more meaning than that but it is an initial symbol of attempts at alliance -- friendship) and immediately asking her to kill all the surface people with him. he's so blunt abt it. i love him.
