It's actually so funny to think that legitimately, my life as a shipper has come to an end???

LIKE. In the Canon x Canon sense. Unless it is ACTUALLY canon, idgaf anymore 🤣🤣🤣

Of course there are ships I enjoy (ex. Kacchako) but like........ I've noticed I don't dedicate ANY of my time really to caring about ships anymore. Art or writing wise. UNLESS it is a ship that from my perspective, is so disrespectful toward both characters that I will go on muting/blocking sprees whenever it crosses my dash (//cough cough Dabi and the bird COUGH COUGH//).

SO WEIRD!!!!! I used to really enjoy shipping, but I think this might just be because if the canon material gave me nothing, then I felt like I was always doing the characters a disservice.

Which is probably why I prefer OC x Canon, because an OC forces me to engage, form ideas, and try to figure out how that Canon character could even remotely fall in love with an OC (mine, or someone else's).

Too many ppl out there shipping characters that canonically dislike one another, as if their dislike for one another is just secret "I love you's" instead of an actual representation that.... they literally don't like each other 🤣🤣🤣

This is why I will never make it as an author LMAO my tolerance for shippers will actually be zero and I would be blocking ppl left and right and extremely hostile toward my fanbase HAHASODFHAOUDSFHOUAD

#air's antics #also fun fact: APPARENTLY the hostility toward the fanbase seems to be a VERY ANNE CODED THING #LIKE JUST LOOK INTO HOW MANY AUTHORS #WHOSE FIRST NAMES ARE ANNE #WHO EITHER DESPISE THE FANBASE FOR THEIR STORIES #OR DOWNRIGHT DO NOT ENGAGE #Anne McCaffery (Dragonriders of Pern) was well known for the LONGEST TIME #DISLIKING HER FANDOM #SHE DID EVENTUALLY LOOSEN UP #BUT ANNE RICE IS ANOTHER #WE ANNE'S ARE JUST FANDOM HATERS >:(((((#AND IT'S SOOOO FUNNY BUT this is also why I kind of look at my art/writing of Dabi with stink eye #Because I'm like... I don't even like to entertain the thought of ppl writing about my characters #ESPECIALLY given the gross misrepresentation that is in fandom on the daily #(from my perspective of course)#and it's like.................... I'm doing the same thing so I can't be mad HAHASHODSFHOUADFUHO #but this is also why I'm going into more OC x OC content #I'm tired and I want it all to be mine and I want to tell people to fuck off and make their own characters HAHAHA #I think this is also why I lost interest in Amita x Vol'jin #I just don't really vibe with OC x Canon anymore because one of the chars isn't mine #and I feel like it's an insult to the creator that I'm using their character in such a way #ANYWAY #WEIRD.
