the way quinton reviews talks about the victorious fandom being convinced some of the ships are wholesome and ship it and like… i don’t think he understands that most of us, as far as i’ve seen, don’t ship the characters bc we think their relationship works, but actually because it doesn’t. we’re all a bunch of sickos who like to see the characters suffer. i’m dead serious about this, like, yeah ofc we make slightly ooc versions of the characters in our heads so we can imagine them in a somewhat healthy relationship with each other and write fanfiction about that, but we also like to see the toxicity of some of those ships (canon or not). he said it himself, victorious is like someone watched it’s always sunny but didn’t get the joke; they’re all awful people (except cat, maybe, although she’s a triple murderer) who don’t deserve to win but they win anyway, so it just feels good to have them suffer in a unhealthy relationship, it’s cathartic, and i know that i personally get soo into it that i end up coming across as someone who finds the ship wholesome sometimes but i certainly do not, i just love it anyway. and i do project into the characters, and that’s because, well, i’m not gonna be toxic to people in real life, i’m not gonna have an abusive relationship, so writing about it (whether it’s fanfiction, meta, elaborate headcanons or just brief tumblr posts) allows me to get the edge off, simply put. i don’t know if this never occurred to him, if he doesn’t get it cause it’s not something he does, or if he’s aware of it and just doesn’t mention it in the videos, but i’m pretty sure a lot of the fandom is with me on this one ?
