I also wasn’t arguing. I’m still not. I was and am directly stating my opinion of your addition to my post because I saw it and I took issue with the way your “agreement” was phrased. To me, it read as dismissive of what I had already stated. I do not deny your lived experience, have you thought about why people react weirdly when you say you ship Colin and Lazlo as a father and son dynamic? Because the incest implications are there whether or not you acknowledge them, because that’s what’s implied with shipping. If that’s your short hand in your circle of friends, great, but in fandom at large—where other real people on the internet can see you—people are going to misunderstand what you’re talking about.

You can tailor your fan spaces, and they can be what you want them to be, but your fan spaces exist inside Fandom at large. You—we live in a society, even if it’s digital.

Also Lazlo and Colin literally already have fucked when he and Najda shared a body, so like, the incest implications are canon lmao

shipping isn’t about what the writers or actors say is or isn’t romantic. shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time. shipping is about seeing The Dynamic and going absolutely hog wild in your mind and your friends dms about it.

“Shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time.”

I said that to include aroace shipping. Because that’s what I meant by that. If you’re going to say you ship Colin and Lazlo as a father and son, you have to acknowledge and deal with the incest implications of that. If you don’t want to, don’t say you ship them, just say you enjoy their familial relationship. It’s that easy. Shipping is a broad term but it means something within fandom.

shipping isn’t about what the writers or actors say is or isn’t romantic. shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time. shipping is about seeing The Dynamic and going absolutely hog wild in your mind and your friends dms about it.

There’s something about people sharing cigarettes in tv shows and movies that sets my brain alight like it demonstrates (to me) an intimacy between the characters, almost like a shorthand way of explaining their closeness—depending on how and when they share the cigarette, because sometimes it can also show the distance between characters despite their proximity and yeah I just. Don’t look at me, smoking is bad but it’s sexy as hell when fictional characters do it

My dad was raised buddhist and when I watched bill and Ted with him he was like “these guys are unironically the most enlightened people on the planet. They are leaving Samsara for sure” and that man has never been more right about anything ever

It is simply not fulfilling to enjoy media in the height of its popularity. You need to show up so late to the party that everybody else is gone and the hosts are asleep so you can rummage through their trash for chip dip and stale hors d’oeurves to eat alone in the dark like a dirty little raccoon secret

I love how here on tumblr dot website we regularly cast the greatest curse we can muster on each other by pointing our long creepy fingers and intoning "10,000 notes" in a voice that carries the winds of the mountain with it.
