I know I might be guilty of this as well (in my defense, sometimes two characters trying to kill each other is written in a very, very shippy way, okay xDD), but sometimes seeing what people in big shipdoms find “shippy” is... mildly disturbing.

#and sometimes there's a romantic/intense undercurrent and i get it? i've been there #sometimes fucked up stuff appeals to us. but other times there's clearly nothing romantic about the canon relationship #it's purely a fanon thing #and the scene in question is just... unadorned and grim and plain... what it is #but because it's a Popular Ship TM it gets read through that lens despite the blatant cues in the text #and i'm left feeling like... really? THIS scene??#it's not really about the ships themselves because i couldn't care less but just. why would you pick THAT #even when they're my notps i would pick better ''shippy'' moments lol #(i feel kinda hypocritical writing this when i've responded to a lot of ''wow that was fucked up'' criticisms with #''yeah it was i'm not denying that. i'm just sayin' it made me ship them MORE''. but welp xDD)#talking to the void #my thoughts #fandom nonsense #shipping #(plus that's not what those comments i'm referring to are saying- they genuinely don't seem to see anything wrong with the picture and...#it gets read as ''charming'' and ''flirting'' and ''ust'' instead #which is an attitude i side-eye among my otps fandoms when it happens too ngl #(like when kc shippers said that caroline's line in TO about how she used to be scared of klaus ''didn't make sense''... we didn't watch #the same scenes then i guess. sure- fear was definitely not the ONLY thing she felt -ego-boost comes to mind- but c'mon)#i also have Thoughts wrt how i see this the most among this specific subset of juggernaut slash fanon ships where two dudes #have a contentious relationship and one uses his superior strength against/to threaten the other physically and yeah. i have Thoughts)#don't mind me i'm sleepy and bored in a long af train ride and browsing this site is A Mistake lol
