#but It’s superior in queer ships

[theamazingannie]

Will never understand people who don’t like friends to lovers. It’s about the PINING. The YEARNING. The UNREQUITED LOVE THAT’S NOT ACTUALLY UNREQUITED. Superior

Making QPR ships is honestly the best! Like they just hit on a different level! I wish there was more room for them in fandom spaces.

So I decided to watch a bit of Bridgerton with my mother, which I'm not really interested in (I don't really like period pieces unless it's a fanfic for a ship I like) but it's a show she enjoys so I sometimes catch her watching it and join her, and literally the only takeaway from the stuff I've seen with her is that Colin, Lord Debling, and Penelope should have all been poly

tumblr user babyboywinchester wants you to eat glass👍👍

well babybogwincstef or whatever your name is, I only eat glass when I think about dean and cas, how dean gave up living his life everytime cas died and how dean hardly had any time to say *I love you* to cas back before cas was taken by the empty, even after showing him love for 10+ years in so many ways and acts of service and loyalty. Dean was robbed off his happiness and his life with cas, spn was homophobic to not give deancas the happy ending they deserved, all these things make me eat glass. I will eat glass if the reboot that could give justice to both dean and cas doesn't happen till that time I will keep living for them, until I lose all hope for them.

I’ll always say that everyone can enjoy whatever they want, that fandom should always be a safe place, every opinion is valid bla-bla-bla

But that doesn’t change the fact that all my ships are the right ones and superior, not my fault I have a superior media literacy

(Joking, or only half joking, enjoy whatever you want fr)

Do u think Jack really liked Eric in that way or do you just ship it because it’s gay

That’s a great question! Being honest, I do really love a queer ship. However, I do truly believe that both characters are/were very queer coded. If you watch their scenes together closely or really think about some of the things they say/how they say them, it’s very apparent to see that 90% of the time there is definitely some underlying thing there. One could argue that they’re just being best friends, which is completely valid and canon in the show. Nevertheless, if you watch their interaction in Girl Meets World, one can see and even feel that chemistry they used to have. I mean come on, Jack looks at Eric like the man hung all the stars by himself. Don’t even get me started on Jack’s soft tones either. It was like ex-lovers crashing back into one another again, like fate brought them there because they just belong together. So, yes, I really think Jack and Eric both liked and loved each other very much especially in a queer way.

Hi. Official Fandom Old ™ here. I’ve been on this damn site longer than I care to admit and I’m here to tell you sweet little apparent newbies to fandom that multishipping within fandom is okay. It’s also okay to have an OTP and a NOTP. What we’re not gonna do is attack the people who are super excited about one ship within the show/book/media just because *your* ship isn’t going canon. Neither of you are wrong. Y’all just riding in different boats.

Hike your own hike. So what if one half of their ship is new to the show? Or has only been in one episode? Or not morally perfect? Take your beef up with the writers, hang out in the anti-tag, write ship-affirming fanfic. Do not take it out on a person who is sharing their excitement for seeing something that makes them happy.

And for the love of god, if your ship is on a show, DO NOT TAKE IT OUT ON THE ACTORS.

Have the day you deserve❤️

ineed some ppl to understand that like. if anyone has been upset with the idea of there being more gumlee than bubbline. it is not because they’re pitting them against each other for no reason or they hate mlm or whatever. it’s because if you give people on the internet a work of fiction. a whole lot of people are going to make a beeline for 2 prettyboys they can draw kissing. to the exclusion of everything else. notably, to the exclusion of Any Female Characters. and it would just be slightly annoying if the biggest adventure time ship, a canon wlw relationship, where 2 women and their stories frequently dominate the tag, got overrun by their genderbent au versions with significantly less development and total screentime.

anti r.eylo on my dash in the year of our lord 2024? god. get over yourselves this is ridiculous

[15000bugs]

no bc in retrospect why did (and probably still does) the dr fandom have ZERO media literacy its insane. ive never seen that level of cognitive dissonance in any other fandom in my LIFE

[hussyknee]

rb'ing OP's tags because important.

"the man we idolised turned out to be a bad person, but it's okay, this other man hasn't fucked up yet so we can just idolise him twice as hard!"

Do you people not see the problem

[coffeemira]

aroaces going into ship tags to post essays on why [ship] doesn’t need romance because they headcanon both characters as some variety of aroace are so tiring. sorry you have to invade ship tags because there’s not really much fandom around the very exciting concept of “sexless and loveless character dynamics” but can you not

[0-therw-0-rldly]

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not really a shipper. I just enjoy canon couples on TV Series/films.

Terms I’d like B*ddies to remove from their vocabulary because they don’t know how to use them correctly:

Media literacy: For a group that uses this term a lot you sure do misinterpret everything in this show.

Queerbaiting: Going to expand on this one. A show that’s already been pre established for having queer characters simply cannot queerbait.

Ship baiting: While sometimes you can argue that they could be doing that, that’s only if you look at the show in a very biased manner. You might think this is the case but the general audience doesn’t think the way you do.

Ship war: This isn’t a one tree hill situation where there was Team Brooke Vs. Team Peyton where the middle guy (Lucas Scott) had canonically been with both women. This is people not understanding fanon vs. canon and not being able to just watch the show. It’s like playing quarterback on Madden and thinking you could be better than Patrick Mahomes.

Plot device: everything’s a plot device. Move tf on.

Predator: You sound like crazy MAGA supporters calling everything regarding the LGBTQIA+ community as predatory. Sit down.

Co-parenting: I know this is a big one and discourse was brought up during the hiatus. Oliver and Ryan have loosely mentioned this years ago but it was never to be taken this seriously. Do y’all even know what co-parenting is or are you that big of a donut? Buck is someone who loves his best friend deeply and by extension, his kid too. Him taking care of him frequently does not make him a co-parent. Maybe he is a parental or uncle figure, but he isn’t a co-parent. Also, I swear y’all need to learn how a will works. He is a GODPARENT, not a GUARDIAN. Stfu.

Hag: This especially applies to women, but to say that someone 25-30+ is a hag for still being in fandoms or enjoying tv shows/films is inherently misogynistic. Men are never held to this much criticism for enjoying fictional media, but women aren’t allowed to?

Queer Coding: people of the same sex “looking at each other”, hugging, or having intimate moments all together doesn’t make them queer coded. It could mean that they just love each other that deeply platonically. While representation is amazing and just because you interpret a character as queer coded (just like my ship baiting comment) doesn’t mean others interpret it that way as well. In addition, network TV has stipulations, and also actors are allowed to decline storylines. Ryan has mentioned his character is heterosexual an abundance of times which means (at least for now) that he isn’t willing to go for this storyline.

Dead naming: Y’all construing the fact that Buck wants people like coworkers and some of his former love interests, to saying Evan is his dead name is inherently transphobic because do you even understand what a dead name is? Evan Buckley is shown as being fine with being called Evan by both Tommy and his sister. I’m pretty sure some of his love interests have called him Evan as well.

Fetishizing: You guys saw two hot guys who “looked at each other” and for 6 seasons have wanted nothing but to see those two make out with each other. Those of us who enjoy Tevan saw Buck giddy at the thought of Tommy and have wanted domestic fluff for them since.

Anything to do with racism, homophobia, and misogyny: I’ve seen the way you guys have conveniently weaponized Henren and by extension Aisha/Tracie when you didn’t get the Ryan/Oliver interview, don’t try to act like you’re morally superior. Not to mention wanting a canonically gay man to die in a show and not even holding those who use your ship name to write CSA fics accountable because you’re petty and want to throw hissy fits. Anyone looking at your comments as an outsider would think you’re homophobes and yes queer people can be homophobic.

I do hope you can expand your vocabulary. 🤍

I love shipping platonically

And romantically

I get the best of both worlds

This is probably just my ace/possibly aro ass talking but do y’all ever get tired of shippers who ship, like, everything and only seem to care about romantic relationships

I’m not trying to shit on anyone’s parade but it gets exhausting when you get called homophobic or something for saying you don’t ship a popular pairing and instead prefer them as friends/found family. Personally, I just don’t find romantic relationships to be that interesting. Sure, I like romance sometimes, but I also love looking at other types of relationships and exploring those. But in most fandom spaces everyone is usually only talking about romantic ships. 

Human beings are so complicated and fascinating and the relationships that we have with one another are endlessly varied and beautiful in their own ways. But good Lord does it feel like only one kind is interesting to most people a lot of the time.
