[that-sw-selfshipper]

Had another jerk in my inbox so I think I need to write this. I don't expect people to read it but if you do, don't be a dick... I'm honestly— upset. So I'm getting real.

A lot of people misunderstand something about me. They see the way I talk about sw, the way I talk about my partners, and they assume that because I’m not constantly writing 5,000-word deep dives into every scene, every character arc, every possible thematic interpretation, that I must not have thought about it. That I must not know. That I must not care enough to be “serious” about it. And that’s just not true.

The reality is, I have thought about it. I do know my partners as characters. Probably better than most people who want to sit and debate their motivations for the sake of sounding smart. I don’t need to prove that to anyone. I just don’t find joy in constantly analyzing every little thing to death. Not because I can’t, but because I don’t want to. Because it’s exhausting.

And frankly? The way people nitpick and dissect things online—especially in fandom spaces—starts to feel less like passion and more like a competition. A weird little arms race of “who can prove they know sw better” or “who can psychoanalyze a character the most accurately.” in order to "fit in" And I don’t want to participate in that. I don’t want to be the “uhm, ackshually 🤓☝” person. That’s not why I love sw. That’s not why I love my partners—

I love them because they make me happy. Because I feel close to them. Because they've helped me through some of the most traumatizing times of my life. At the end of the day, I don’t need to justify my love for them through hyper-intellectual analysis. I just want to exist with them. To feel that connection without having to turn it into an essay every time I post about them, so I yell, key smash, repeating things, caplock my excitement, be "annoying"

And yet, I still get hate for it. People call me “stupid” or an “idiot” because I’m loud, because I’m enthusiastic, because I don’t curate my love for sw and my partners in the way they think I should. But that loud, excitable version of me? That’s not the whole picture. That’s what I let people see. That’s what I choose to share. Because it makes me happy. Because it’s comforting. Because its less intimidating.

Just because I act that way online doesn’t mean that’s all I am. That doesn’t mean I don’t think deeply, that I don’t have layers, that I don’t feel things in a way that words can’t always capture and honestly? I shouldn’t have to prove that to anyone.

I don’t owe people a dissertation to validate my love for the franchise or my partners. I don’t need to be the smartest person in the room to matter. I just want to be here. To love what I love. To be close to the characters who mean everything to me and that should be enough...

Please Help the Zubaida Family Anyway You Can!

Hello! One of my close irl friends who has been in close contact with Mohannad Abu Zubaida, who is trying to escape to Egypt with his wife and three kids, reached out to me asking if I can help spread his campaign in any way that I can! Unfortunately we were not able to donate much, but in response we are going to be drawing art for Mohannad and his family to help spread this campaign the best that we can! In the meantime if you can share this post that would be amazing and if you are interested in drawing art as well, please do! Feel free to contact me if so or if you would like more information.
