regarding my last reblog genuinely i think the reason why people are able to take creek and bunny and make them very much ugu kya !! >< ships is because there is not a Big Contestant against them.

that isnt a bad thing but i think it means that people dont have to think as hard about them in a grander scale? i rarely see character analysis for those ships (bunny gets it sometimes which i appreciate seeing) because they just Are Canon (or are so fanon-loved that theyre basically canon)

style and kyman are ships that people have been Fighting over for 20+ years, because a lot of people arent multishippers, and a lot of kyman shippers were seen as bad by style shippers (and the wider fandom in general) for a very long time/some still have that viewpoint.

so the people who make fic content have this... like need to prove why their ship is worthy? which means adding extra complexity and over analyzing canon and digging into their minds a lot more. idk this might not make perfect sense but i think that the Fight for supremacy has bolstered both ships into being fucking Fascinating from a development standpoint.

and this also applies to kenny/butters/tweek/craig rarepairs. they have to be Compelling and Evidenced in order to have a footing against creek and bunny. but no one is trying to actually FIGHT creek and bunny (good! leave them alone) so those writers don't have to overthink making their stuff deep and compelling. they have the freedom to go ugu kyaaa as much as they want because its the canon/basically canon ship and people will eat it up anyways.

#pine prattles #once again i do Not Dislike creek or bunny. i just dont particularly ship them #but i am not gonna go up and tell anyone 'hey ur stinky' for it. i am not starting the wars #i am also an extreme multishipper so sometimes i pepper creekbunny into my backgrounds #for fun. for flavor.#THIS ALSO ISN'T TO SAY THERE ISNT COMPELLING CREEK OR BUNNY CONTENT #i just think that they have the freedom/comfort to make more happysilly fluff for themselves #because no one is going to bitch at them for it #a creek shipper doesnt have to fight to say their stuff is good and has evidence #but like. staig shippers get fucking destroyed for not having canon evidence #i also dont think theyre 'basic' or anything. literally they are just ships #i think that there is occasionally an inherent guilt when making like just. comforting silly stuff of other ships #because there will always be people who show up and go ugh this isnt 'ship' and it isnt compelling #but like. idk. let people do whatever. have fun!#i am only taking this from the study of Why creek and bunny get characterized so...#traditional yaoi or unbothered sweethearts or #whatever. i also think a lot of creek content is ooc bc they will just start shaving tweek down into the perfect uke #and im so sleepy
