i think out of disrespect we should just start using "spamtenna moment" as shorthand for when a nothing tier yaoi ships between side characters somehow manages to eclipse in fandom popularity all of the central character relations of both the main cast and the rest of the side characters that aren't men. i think this should become such a widespread and entrenched form of fandom lingo for insulting ships that the next generation of teens will grow up understanding its meaning and not its origins in the same way teens of my generation used adjective!character parlance long before ever learning what bang paths were.

actually that post that's like "the best lotr headcanon is when gimli is the dwarf kingdom's most eligible bachelor and legolas is a shit tier ugly ass elf" is literally a subplot of temeraire

i seriously want to smoke the ocean.
