Have you ever had a ship that you’ve seen around and you’re like... eh. It exists and I don’t really like it, but it’s not so terrible that you’ll consider it a notp.
So, you allow it to come across your dash occasionally. Then you start considering interactions between them and you’re like... Ok yeah I can see that and I suppose that art is kinda cool, too.
But, if someone were to ask you if you ship it you’re like naw man not my cup of tea. And you go back to scrolling through tumblr with just a little bit more aware of that ship.
You look around yourself and realize that the ship sailed a long time ago...
You have no idea when you bought that ticket. You don’t even know how long the ship has been at sea, either. All you know is that you’re on the ship and there’s no end in sight.
And you kind of want to get angry and demand a refund, but you realize that there’s no one to get angry at. Because you were the one to buy the ticket in the first place.
So, instead, you just accept your fate and allow yourself to enjoy the ship.
Oh and then there’s also this point where you’re like, oh I can just read one fic about them. It won’t change my mind.
But then it totally does.
