talking about SteveNat is always a bizarre experience because I probably cannot be clearer about the fact that I ship them and want them to kiss on the mouth and yet whenever a post moves out of my orbit it immediately morphs into "yeah they're such good friends, I love a brotp."

#it's my bizarre superpower to LOSE readers whenever I write shipfic but applied to posts #I am probably one of the only writers in fandom who would be way more popular if I wrote gen #and I know this because my numbers on gen (like wake morning and yonder) are significantly higher than my numbers on shipfic #I don't get them frequently anymore -- home doesn't tend to pick up this kind of reader and it's my one REALLY shippy fic --#but you would be SHOCKED at the number of comments I got on gambit and even backbone wishing the ship wasn't there #or saying that they skipped all the ship scenes #gambit whatever people hate the ot3 this is the least of gambit's problems #I do not on the other hand understand how people read backbone and came to the conclusion that the kanan/hera was incidental #as a result I always feel really really guilty when I write shipfic #and part of me will always wonder if things like home and horizon wouldn't be better fics #if I hadn't been so self-indulgent as to put in the ships #not just better received but better fics period #:/#adventures in accountability #bedlam watches the mcu #talking about feedback in public
