#ship discourse

Need to have a certain rule on age differences Unless both are immortals or If it’s human x immortal that appears there way

You get idea!!! Nuance —BUT We are staying GOOD! We are respecting the maturity age levels and proper decency of people!!

And plus, the only outlandish age gaps between people in my book are the ones that are hella gross. Like 80 year old in a relationship with a 30 year old like NOOO! The point is that’s to say this is NEVER OKAY

For all fandoms, me personally, I am going by this rule for Romantic storylines and if your ship is around this age difference,

It is safe even if one partner is younger and one is older

The Ships That are safe for my fandoms are

All the ships in tbe digital cut us expect Kinger X Anyone but Caine and His wife and possibly all his Co-workers!!

Hazbin ships of following!!

Husk X Angel even when that’s Crazy

(Late 30s —entering 40s— x 60 if we’re being charitable, if husk were 70, that be a lil more roughy)

Vox X Valentino

Velvette X Melissa even if one partner is 20 years at minimum older!! (Be Velvette being in 30s, Melissa in her 50s, or Melissa being in her 20s she must be 22 or older and Vel obv being in her 30s)

Carmilla x Zestial!! Might have been around during different times. But in the same age group!!

Charlie x Vaggie!! I see them being the same age and being born/Created at the same Time!! So yes!! Yes by that fact, there is a deeper story to excorist than them just being created or Heaven born, they c an be created as Heaven born meant to serve original purpose and turned into an exorcist!!

Lilith X Lucifer (explanatory)

Lute X Adam (explanatory)

All those ships at those ages are safe!! SAFE!!

Is your ship safe?? Be careful!!

and im sitting here. as a polyamorous guy. waiting for when it's going to be our turn to finally get a fucking INCH of representation somewhere people can't just turn the other cheek to it. because im gonna say it; Love triangles are boring as all shit. They're overplayed and scarcely subverted. Someone allllways has to lose, because muh monogamy!

I'm here to say this - I've come to absolutely despise those engagement bait vids on TikTok that go "what's a ship y'all dislike" because every single fucking time it creates a hostile space that always results in unnecessary shipping wars and conflict. And guess what? Queer ships always take the biggest damage!

I interacted ONCE with a post like that, respectfully stating that I don't like a ship but everyone ofc blew it out of proportion (the ship was YaeYato btw, still hate that ship but I won't go out of my fucking way to harass people who ship it, I'm too old for that nonsense.)

I started to block every single account that posts such bs because you can't have a normal conversation with those people, I swear.

What happened to don't like, don't read? What happened to blocking people? What happened to fandom etiquette and basic manners? (I know exactly what, this is a rhetorical question.)

Being a multi shipper on that godforsaken app is not for the weak. Tbh, just being a "weird" fan on that app is detrimental to one's mental health.

Anyway, that is all. I just needed to get this out of my system.

darkship: im uncomfortable around you and you should be criticised if you post it and checked up on either way as this is a bit concerning.

comship: okay idc

lightship: okay idc

proship: I believe in no harassing but just blocking and ignoring the problem isn’t good.

antiship: stop sending death threats

… I am open to like any ship ever and even if it’s not for me, I just dni ? Idk why that’s so hard…

"Ruin Kataang for whatever that was."

"That's not my Aang" (No, shit Sherlock, it's a remake/live action)

"They ruin (insert scene which, since obviously the events are the same from the OG show, it wouldn't make sense)"

Me, a multishipper, who just saw Taang, Kataang, Zutara, Sokka X Suki, Sokka X Yue and so much other ships getting fed, we got a name drop of Iroh's wife, we see him and Sokka having (realistically) PTSD from what happened to them in war/At the North and so much more:

it honestly seems that some people just nitpick reasons to be an asshole to a ship someone enjoys. fiction is meant to be a fantasy where your creativity can thrive and know no bounds. the main point of shipping is to indulge in the end, so you should have the freedom to like whatever you want.

and if you dislike a ship, either block the tag or scroll away. it’s perhaps simply not for you. trust me, I have some strong opinions on some ships, but I’d never harass or threaten anyone who enjoys them.

in all, do what you want, ship those characters, ship that rarepair, ship that crackship, ship your ocs with canon characters, ship yourself, s/i, sona, etc with canon characters, just have fun indulging in the piece of media and its characters.
