Honestly this is mostly just a rambling/venting post, I had seen lots of posts in 91 days tag about cortavi shippers not engaging in conversations about why do we prefer that ship over avilero so I guess this is my post to do that...?
Full disclaimer: I do not hate avilero, it’s not my notp, this is simply a preference for me, and I do not speak for any other cortavi/corteavi shipper. This is solely my, completely fuckin’ subjective opinion, and venting.
Also I swear. A lot.
There goes nothin’
First things first do I get why people ship avilero? Yeah. I had read a lot of analysis on that, I do see the points and the appeal. I may not agree with all of the conclusions and opinions, but eh, that’s another can of worms I ain’t opening now. And I do admire all the dedication that goes into these posts, really. Props to the shippers, those posts are nice, and in-depth.
Here’s the thing tho: canon doesn’t have much to do with shipping. This isn’t the case for everyone of course, I know people who only like to ship canon things, or things they can support in canon. But one has to realise that most of the time this isn’t exactly the case.
If we’d base our ships on “canon”, on “validity” or “facts and logic”, then there wouldn’t be this much shipping. Then Harry/Hermione shippers would have disappeared a long time ago, there wouldn’t be this much Draco/Hermione or Draco/Harry content still. Shippers are gonna ship whatever. Or Draco/Luna, who barely even interacted in canon, are still a ship.
Shit happens, ship happens, and honestly, saying that your ship is more rooted in facts and logic than the other’s ship, therefore making it more valid is kinda rude. And alienating. Especially because in 91 days, there are basically no canonical ships. Even if you pick up on subtext - that’s all that is. Subtext.
Ya know what else is rude? Shitting on other people’s ships. Seriously. Stop messaging people stop posting hating comments in the tag, or tag your shit. I’m saying this for other corteavi shippers. Create content if you feel like your ship is underrepresented in fandom. That’s what I do, I promise you. I ain’t talking out of my ass here.
Anyways. Back to shipping, because I still didn’t talk about why do I prefer Cortavi (Corteavi? seriously, which one is the shipname) over Avilero.
Shipping - for me, and many other people are about emotions. And for me, Episode 10 hit me in the face so hard with emotions, I ended up writing three different fics for it.
Emotions are like that - pretty fucking subjective. I had seen others in the tag being affected by emotions between scenes of Angelo and Nero, and those emotions are just as valid as the ones I felt.
Did I ever feel anything between Angelo and Nero? Yes. But not as strong as I felt about Corteo and Angelo. So this is my subjective opinion over why do I ship Angelo with Corteo more.
Will I ever write Avilero? Maybe. *Glances at the AU idea she has* proooobably *glances at the polyamory idea she had* ok, knowing me, eventually I will, because as I said, I do not hate the ship. The only reason I did not go around reading Avilero fics, because most I had seen at least were porny, and porn isn’t my thing.
That’s another thing. Just because you don’t like Avilero, just... don’t go there?? Like... I had never seen Avilero shippers mistag their shit, if I see that shit isn’t for me, I’m not gonna click on it. Let everyone do whatever makes them happy, and do your own thing instead? None of the shippers, and content creators owe you jackshit. You are responsible for your own content consumption.
Seriously I’m only on the outskirts of this fandom, but this is really tiring, I don’t know.

- if you don’t think Angelo wouldn’t grow up to be the biggest troublemaker in camp without a childhood trauma, rewatch that first scene in the first episode, that was a little shit in the making also refer to the pantsing scene
- “Angelo no” “ANGELO YES”
- Luce and Corteo are despairing, trying to coax their brother and friend/boyfriend off the roof or something
- eventually the Vanettis, who run the camp, they have to drag him down
- every year, basically everyone goes there, and it’s just mayhem
- Ganzo is already going grey and wants to bloody murder the kids
- Nero is a supervisor. technically. well, not much older than most of the campers, but still a Vanetti, so he takes place in activites, and also more responsible than others. technically. in reality though, he’s the biggest shit at the camp
- “Okay Barbero listen, we need toilet paper, toothpaste and fifteen apples” “Nero no” “TOO BAD, VOLPE AND TIGRE ARE ALREADY COLLECTING THE ITEMS” “GODDAMNIT NERO”
- they constantly try to ban Fango from the camp, somehow he always reapplies, and makes everyone’s lives hell
- Angelo does definitely still pantses Nero sometimes
- Vanno and Nero teaching the campers how to juggle
- Luce is trying really, really hard to learn it. He kills everyone at card tricks, though. Frate is impressed, and blushes too easily around Luce, I MEAN WHAT DEFINITELY NOT
- It’s a running gag that with his pale skin and dark hair, Angelo looks like a vampire. One time he wakes up covered in glitter. Nero gives a very dramatic Bella Swan impression when he shows up like that
- Angelo’s answer is a deadpan “I want a divorce, Bella”
- Nero doesn’t break character, he goes into hysterics, and then holds into Barbero’s hand, calling him Jacob, and asking him out
- It’s Barbero’s deadpan “aren’t I supposed to imprint on your child or something” answer is what makes literally everyone lose their shit, and Nero to finally break character too
- half the camp wants to date Fio. Vanno is a very lucky man, indeed
- GHOST STORIES AT NIGHT. Vanno is fucking amazing at telling ghost stories, Angelo ends up with his arm going white from Corteo clinging into him
- Nero is legit sitting in an unamused Barbero’s lap
- “You had already heard these ghost stories before Nero” “STILL SCARY”
- everything gets competitive as fuck. EVERYTHING. football? you bet your ass everyone gets kicked up. going to the beach? i hope you like getting thrown into the ocean, Strega. cooking? I HOPE YOU ENJOY HAVING HOT AS FUCK FOOD ANGELO BECAUSE SOMEONE JUST DUMPED YOUR FOOD FULL WITH CHILI
- in short, everyone is fucking happy, thank you and goodbye
