Y’know that first gay ship you’ve shipped ever since you’ve realised how obviously down bad the characters are for each other? And I mean like you fall in love with them so much you start analysing and breaking down every action, sentence and expression bc it’s become such an obsession you just can’t let it go. (my first gay ship was sasunaru. Like anyone can spot the yearning from a mile away bc those idiots don’t know how to keep their eyes off each other. I mean it’s so obvious cmon now)
Then that one ship kinda becomes like an inspiration or reference to gay stuff at the back of your mind like it’s the first ship you compare your new ship to in terms of similarity/differences. And then you go on to watch other shows and read other manga and your already keen eye catches the subtle (or obvious) gay vibes and you start seeing the chemistry between the characters and you’re like yeah I’m defo shipping that. Then later once you’re organising your already watched/read shows/manga vs the ones you wanna start soon you start remembering all your ships too. And then you’re like damn. Oh damn. I knew I shipped a lot of ships but holy shit I ship a lot of gays. And I mean like there’s wayyy more gays than straight on your shipping list. That’s literally me. I just realised.
