personally, I don't know what the hell that anon is talking about, Penny and Whitley could be cute as heck??? I hadn't thought about it until now but I'm certainly warming up to the idea
Exactly! Thank you Palletred.Ā
Ithonestly bums me out and sours my mood when people react like this when itcomes to shipping. Shipping is supposed to be fun, man! Made even more fun whenyou meet people who share the same interests as you. I was so excited aboutadding Whitleyand Penny to my fanart project. Iwas originally just only going to add Whitley but when I looked up on his tag Isaw someone create some cute art of him together with Penny.Ā
I never consideredthe possibility of these two either but the more I think about it; the more itfits. The concept of Penny and Whitley sharing a bond is interesting. Whetheror not they become canon or not, who really cares? Whatās wrong with justliking the ship? Penny and Whitley are two characters I happen to like in RWBY.Ā
I know Whitley gets a lot of flak from the FNDM because of the events of V4 buthonestly, I find it unfair. I more see Whitley as a misunderstood characterwhich is why Iām looking forward to his reintroduction to the story in V7 andseeing how the CRWBY develop and wrap up his story with Weiss. I hope Whitleyāsendgame concludes with him and Weiss reconciling and beginning a healthy andclose relationship as brother and sister. Thatās why I think Whit deserves butthis is only my opinion.
Butthis anon and their attitude just soured my mood man. I really donāt like itwhen shippers do this. Itās shippers like that who make me turn away fromcertain pairings. Not because the pairings themselves are bad but because theattitude of some of the shippers in their community is just atrocious. I feelso sad for the Nuts and Dolts shipping community. I always figured these guyswere a cool bunch. But this one anonās attitude just ruined that impression forme. Not enough for me to dislike the ship but enough for me to feel sad thatthere are those kinds of shippers on that ship. I just hope that I donāt haveany more run ins with Penny fans like that.
Personally,I donāt care who anyone ships Penny with. There are people who ship Penny withRuby and there are even people starting to ship Penny with Oscar. To each theirown. Speaking for myself, I only see Nuts and Dolts (sorry if I called it Nuts andBolts before) as a FRIEND-ship. Same for Data Farmers. As a matter a fact,my Pinehead headcanon is that Penny and Oscar will have a sibling-type of friendship with Penny calling Oscar ābrotherā since my theory is that Oscar will become an apprenticeto Dr. Polendina and learn about inventing technology. But thatās just somethingIād like to see done for Oscarās story.
RoseGarden is my main RWBY OTPplus Ruby and Oscar pairing but Iām warming up to Beta Testers. I think itās a sweetship in concept and I wouldnāt mind contributing content for it. Hence why Iāmadding these two to my fan project. I just donāt want to be harassed for it.Thatās all. I find shipping wars to be ridiculous hence why I want no part in it. Ship whatever you like just donāt bring this squiggle meister into your discourse, please and thank you.
Ijust want to have fun shipping what I like and be respected.
