#mod seb

Ahhh, that’s an interesting question. I’m going to trust that this is in good faith, so like, thank you for trying to keep an open mind.

I don’t know about the other Mod, but tbh? I don’t really try to Not Ship Something, because shipping isn’t a moral action to me. I choose ships for any number of reasons and enjoy them however I want, and like, yeah, of course, I generally self reflect about it as I do all my tastes and art... but shipping something considered Alarming doesn’t really say anything about me or the people who read it. The same goes for series like Game of Thrones, except that Squip/Jeremy is nowhere near that intense in canon.

Like... Villian/Protagonist fanfiction has been around as long as fanfiction itself. The people who write it aren’t somehow more likely to be abusive. We know very well that a computer in your brain that makes you do stupid shit to impress a girl in high school is not like, the model for Perfect Boyfriend; we also know comedically timed electric shocks to “correct” one’s behavior is not a healthy form of communication between consenting partners. The actual problems encouraging domestic violence are far more complex and confusing than “Writing Bad Thing As Not Bad Is Supporting Bad Thing”; at most it’s a symptom, more likely it’s just normal for people to watch opposites attract.

As for why THIS particular pairing caught my attention... well, I mean. It’s a pretty classic option for shipping? These two people in one body together, heavily reliant on each other, their goals clashing, the tensions high... a decade ago, this ship would’ve been *the* most popular in the fandom TBH.

... anyway, that’s enough half-asleep rambling for now, hopefully this helps.
