unpopular shipping opinion?
I don’t understand how shipping wars even happen.
I mean there’s canon right? The sweet beautiful source material and fodder for the fandoms that hook, line, and sink us in the best and worse ways fuckin’ possible right?
Based on screen time and how certain characters interact with each other, we’re going to have a natural inclination towards certain ships.
What happens in canon happens in canon, cool, great, awesome, love it, (well most of the time anyway) Whatever y’know?
But then my friend, THEN, we have fanfiction the sweetest creation known to us selfish freaks who need more so much more than what sweet wonderful canon has to offer.
Who needs reality when limitless alternate realities exist just beyond the ether?
A place to let our imaginations fuck each other up and no rules apply accept for basic grammar.
I mean, who needs canon when you have like 76 different head canons that are constantly fighting each other for attention?
What I’m trying to say is that...
I am here for the stories and you should be too!
Do you have any idea how many amazing talented and thoughtful writers exist with AWE inspiring stories that probably write for a pairing you dislike.
And you hate that pairing because you haven’t read these stories that portray them so perfectly together.
Because you’re too close minded to get out of your head and let yourself have nice things because you already have one nice thing and you don’t want anyone to touch it.
Yes, I have certain pairings I love more than others.
But none of that shit matters when there are incredible stories to read and worlds to get lost in that have nothing to do with them.
Some of my favourite stories don’t even feature my favourite pairs.
So just do yourself a favour and open your mind a little more.
These writers need love.
And these stories need to be read.
