#being an itafushi shipper is so heartbreaking

[vesselmade-a]

“fushiguro…it’s not over yet” okay but like megumi hasn’t left yuji’s mind once oh my god they’re so in love

[megumixtsumiki]

Gosh, I can't with these people shippering itafushi sukufushi, gofushi and all the other somethingfushi yaoi ships but went rage when you mention huge hints about Tsumiki calling it weird. I mean how is it weird, they're no blood siblings? Sigh

Hello dear anon.

Ok, let's take a breath together.

Inhale, 1-2-3-4... and exhale, 1-2-3-4...

I know. I totally get it. It's very frustrating.

This fandom's ship culture has turned sour and it's very unfortunate because shipping is so much fun.

And it’s not just about megumiki. It’s gojohime and any ship that the hive mind in general doesn’t like.

Instead of respecting each other's ships, it's become about how this ship is toxic and that ship is toxic too and you shouldn't like it and how wrong it is that you like it.

It’s extremely arrogant to think that you can police what others like or don’t like because you think people don’t understand the implications of a ship. You see that a lot in this fandom.

LE SIGH indeed!

If I may... it's not that megumiki doesn't have its fair share of "toxic". I personally head canon Megumi and Tsumiki probably do have an "unhealthy" attachment to each other. They were abandoned by their parents, after all. Each other is all they had.

As you say, they're also not blood related. So even if they call each other "brother" and "sister", they are choosing those labels for themselves. They could easily call each other "childhood friends". I personally think it's sweet they think of each other as siblings because it means its a very soulful bond that goes beyond blood.

They chose each other.

I like to think Gege was very intentional about them not being blood related.

But go ahead and explain that to a keyboard warrior who is only interested in standing on their moral high horse saying the kids should be protected from incest without actually understanding what it entails to actually protect kids who are victims of incest.

By the way, I've had to work with children who suffered from abuse and neglect, including incest, in my professional career as a social worker. It was heartbreaking. My shipping megumiki has absolutely nothing to do with those children.

But... whatever.

You know what I learned and decided upon recently?

Humans in general are dumb. Choose your battles. Love your ship. How's that for a slogan?

megumiki has become my self-insert, self-indulgent ship and I decided not to care what anyone else thinks about it.

And that's what shipping is about anyways. It's about how a ship moves your soul. It's not about the logic behind the ship.

In all honesty, takes about how a ship in jjk is toxic because of whatever logical reasons someone can come up with are so stupid to me because when we ship, we don't ship with our brain, we ship with our heart.

We also ship according to our psychoemotional level of maturity. So to judge someone for shipping something toxic when they are not able to see that yet for themselves is also arrogant and downright mean.

The irony is always when people denouncing other ships they don't like for "logical reasons", ship a pairing and clearly very much LOVE the pairing with their heart, and then use their brain to justify why they like the ship.

There's nothing wrong with loving a ship unless you're putting down other ships.

What's the point honestly? To feel better about yourself? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess it's kind of relatable.

Anyways, since I've opened that can of worms...

You know what pisses me off the most? It's when fans say that if you ship a hetero ship and say you don't see a particular pairing as gay, it's because you're homophobic.

🤦🏻‍♀️ someone please... the nerve...

My internet history be like:

*closes incognito tabs with gay media*

Also I'm bisexual and my favorite OTP pairings are mostly gay ships (with a few exceptions).

How would people who only ship gay ships like it if I said they are heterophobic and biphobic?

Honestly. When did shipping heteroships get canceled?

The oppressed became the oppressor...

Anyways! Thanks for reaching out and ranting with me.

Here's to seeing more megumiki moments in jjk! Fandom is going to loose their shit if Gege draws something ambiguous... that or they'll probably cancel the moment and completely deny the idea that Megumi saw Tsumiki as anything more than a sister.

But hey, to each their own. It's ok. 

Haters gonna hate.
