#i have literally no investment in the shayne/courtney ship

[khruschevshoe]

Everyone has been discussing whether or not the Shayne/Courtney wedding is real or fake and I would like to provide you a third option: the wedding was real and legal BUT ONLY for the return of Let's Do This. This is everyone's revenge on Arasha.

[sushicha]

I think one if the things that's always bothered me about the backlash Shartney shippers get is that whenever we engage with or talk about ANY of the evidence, we get accused of "stalking". I preface this by saying yes, some of the behaviors in the community over the years borders on cyberstalking. Like, I wasn't apart of the Shourtney Discord server, I never geoguessr'ed their fucking hotel rooms or anything like that.

But like... why am I a stalker because I watched Jackie's IG story and saw them slow dancing? Or why am I a stalker because Courtney posted a cute picture with Shayne on their IG story that quickly got removed? Or why am I stalker because I have fucking eyes and can tell there are extreme similarities between Courtney's and Shayne's apartments? Or why am I a stalker because one day I look through Courtney's tagged photos and see a family picture with both of them? Does it take Sherlock levels of obsessiveness to conclude that Courtney wearing Shayne's exact ASU sweater is kind of an intimate thing?

Like, I just love Smosh, I follow a lot of their socials, and I have basic fucking observational skills. And the idea of them dating is kind of exciting and I like to talk with other people about it and make sure I'm not crazy.

I agree that certain Shourtney discourse over the years has sucked. People extrapolate wild conclusions based on little to no evidence at all. It's been very cis-heteronormative which is lame, especially when Courtney is LGBTQ.

That's why I wasn't really a Shourtney shipper until the ACTUAL evidence started rolling in. And the thing is, the proof is all on public platforms, y'all. Half of the shit literally just pops up on my feed, like Smosh people's stories, or even Shourtney TikToks and compilations. It's usually tagged with Smosh, so like, I'm gonna see it? And for the little amount of digging I have done, I literally just look up "#shourtney" on IG or Tumblr. Takes two steps.

"Stalking", be so ffr...

I get that everyone wants to enjoy the fruits of the Shourtney ship while moral grandstanding about how "weird" the shippers are in order to make themselves look superior. Like, congrats to you all??? But we're all lowkey invested, and it's not that deep.

I'm the first to admit that it sucks that they want to keep their relationship a secret, yet all of us have lowkey found out and dissect their posts and shit. But again, I just have eyes... I'm not out following them home, and I'm not out here Jehovah's Witnessing at people's doors about the good word of Shourtney. We hop on Tumblr or IG or TikTok and talk amongst ourselves.

Yeah, they've probably seen some of, or maybe even a lot of what people have found out. We're not conversing in private chatrooms. However, the sheer number of people who DON'T know, and/or Shourtney deniers is proof that we're not out of control and their efforts to conceal it is still very effective. No one's made a YouTube essay, mf'ers like Keemstar aren't running their mouths... it's chill, guys. Despite all the evidence out there, Courtney still said that Shourtney shippers don't bother her. So like???

now im curious to know if Any of your other ships are happening in the background of your other fics, and if so, what’s happening between them? i’d like to think while right side of my neck is happening, either kimmy or shayne are having their own personal crises lmao —blandview

here are my (i was gonna say headcanons? but i guess i wrote it so it's not a headcanon it's just canon) thoughts on what's happening in the background of all my fics:

right side of my neck:

shayne is definitely over-investing himself in spencer's relationship bc of the issues he's having in his own life xx (who's he pining over? you decide. but he is Avoiding Talking About It so he's decided to put himself in charge of spencer's dating life instead.)

spencer and shayne order lunch together once a week so they can talk about literally anything other than their love lives but like they know they're purposefully avoiding it so. The Vibe Is There.

kimmy has been begging tommy to get a better haircut for ages but she's like "well you've been cutting it yourself don't go Get it cut :) get someone else to do it :)" he knows exactly what she's doing and he's like fine. i will make the first move through the weirdest intricate ritual known to man. whatever.

haunted house:

(this doesn't have as many world building aspects to it but have some lil details anyway)

shayne and kiana are both in on spencer making a move on tommy after the haunted house in fact it was their plan. why do you think kiana wrote tommy into this whole thing. it could've easily been spencer.

emphasis on after. when shayne finds out they nearly knocked over the haunted house bc they were making out in there he laughs so hard he nearly throws up

shoutout to cassie, the real menace and orchestrator here. queen shit. she decided to be extra menacing on purpose <3333

he said baby:

why does kimmy need her besties attention so bad. is she having her own life crises in her own relationship and so needs tommy present? mayhaps...

tommy goes in the next day with a clear head and was like "okay wait what's wrong with You dish"

(she then distracts him by asking about the night before bc spencer looks much better today right! and tommy is a simp so it works and she escapes... for now...)

they lost their minds:

yk how many people in the office were consulted on that necklace. there was a Team. not to mention of course the picnic cooking team.

spencer much like me was like 'what do you get a boyfriend for the first birthday you're together' and thus went to the only established relationship in the office he knew aka koah and was like 'help.' and keith was like 'dude what would you get any s.o. do That.' bc spencer is dumb as hell. and so he did!

courtney immediately spreads the gossip ab that birthday card and soon every relationship in the office is Stirred in one way or another. whether it's reassurance ab an established relationship or renewed yearning. peace n love on planet earth

important things to know about me

i am a Very queer aspec agender person who is also neurodivergent in many fun and interesting ways

i’ve been a smosh fan on and off since 2013, when it was just ian and anthony and the original main 4 smosh games members. i watched smosh main channel content and other ian&anthony content before that casually but i didn’t really become an avid Fan until smosh games.

i am a “shipper”, but definitely not in the “i believe these people are truly in a romantic relationship and have feelings for each other” way. i ship in the way that i’m appreciating an already-existing dynamic that really stands out to me as having chemistry by exploring how they show they enjoy each other’s company and how they show each other affection. i just like close relationships!!! platonic or otherwise! so yes, i ship people “as friends” for the most part, but i like to explore intimacy in a way that some may define as more romantic? just cuz i personally have a hard time distinguishing between Platonic Affection and Romantic Affection as an arospec person. so yeah anyway. i promise i’m not one of Those shippers i just like thinking about friends being cute that is all.

i can and will tag relationships between cast members using the portmanteau style of combining names. just because other people use it to mean only romantic shipping doesn’t mean i do <3

with all THAT being said, some of my fav smosh (friend)ships/dynamics are courtlivia, shourtney, shaylivia, spommy, spourtney, shaymien, amangela, shaymanda, courtmien, and changela. just my favs tho i would not be able to list Every dynamic i like

my smosh member favs are shayne, courtney, tommy, arasha, and amanda, but i love all of the cast and especially the original “smosh squad”. i have a soft spot for like all of the former and long-standing members and crew due to nostalgia plus my enjoyment of how they interacted with my fav members.

i literally just do my own thing. i ascribe to very extreme, uncommon leftist ideologies (as a very specific form of ancom) and such and it bleeds into how i act on here. i am invested in social justice issues, but don’t expect me to be a liberal about them. basically i’m here to have fun and treat these centrist celebrities as the commodities for my personal enjoyment that they are!

i am a very asocial + anxious person so be aware if you try to contact me even casually there's a good chance i won't (consistently) respond... bc i get scared. etc. i usually don’t even look at notifs. it's probably not personal i just have brain issues. but if you wanna reach out n be friendly it will make me happy and i will try to respond…!

A friend shared this lil' meme on a server we're in so I kinda wanna do it lol

SOME EXPLANATIONS below and beware of controversial takes!

Ship That I Love At First Sight -- I'M A KORRASAMI TRUTHER SINCE BOOK ONE. Very controversial take, but I really hated how Mako behaved and how he was positioned on that stupid love triangle but Korra and Asami's interaction felt so genuine. It felt like they were genuinely so interested with each other and wanted to become (at least) friends, but felt a little awkward considering their situation. I remember saying to my friend "UGH I wish they're the ones being shipped by the show instead". I continued having no hope and watched the show in "eh" although I loved how their relationship finally developed. AND LO AND BEHOLD. People say them being endgame is not valid and not deserving can meet and fistfight me at 3 PM in the school's football field.

Ship That I Initially Don't Like - This is going to be another controversial take because hhh ok. So I started only shipping Akihiko and Shinjiro because who doesn't love tragic gay childhood best friends who were torn apart due to trauma and life choices and one of them died in a way to sorta atone their mistakes etc etc. Like THE ANGST -- especially when you play this game at FUCKING 16 and only slowly opening the closet door. I invest to them greatly. Surprise surprise, even though she's my type I initially didn't get to like Mitsuru immediately but I realized it's not Misturu that I hate but... Something about her relationship with Yukari bring the worst out of each other (yeah I know they get better at P4A but 1they do have a long way to go I feel like). Turns out I just don't like it when Mitsuru interacts with Yukari but her interaction with other characters is fine to me. So I didn't pay P3 attention for a while but revisited it somewhere in 2010 and I realized how in sync and deeply connected Akihiko and Misturu were. They're so parents-coded to SEES (and boi do I love a dilfxmilf coded ship). That November 4th event did appealed to me the first time but it appealed to me even more. And I thought about how both have lost everything but still have each other and get each other's back almost in a non verbal way. The only person who can love and understand Akihiko in and out the way Shinji does to me is Mitsuru and the only person who would have all the grace, compassion, and patience to Mitsuru with all her burden is just Akihiko. So yeah, I guess they're otp too now. It's okay if you don't agree with this or if you're disgusted by the fact that I don't really vibe with the popular wlw ship in P3. Sometimes you just don't vibe with something, you know. I'm sure there are things you just don't vibe with too and that's cool. That's just human. But if you call me lesboph*bic or h*mophobic for this and think I deserve harassment... WOAH lmao. Are you okay?

Ship That I Don't Like Anymore - Siegfried and Cassandra is a ship of the past when I was still a stupid literal child brainwashed by cisheteronormativity and I just shipped the emoest conventionally attractive BOY with the boisterous sunshine of a conventionally attractive GIRL. As I became an adult I just lost interest in it completely and realized, HEY. Cassandra Alexandra is BIG LESBIAN. No way that girl is straight. Besides, if I wanna see conventionally attractive blonde people getting hooked now, I can just look at Husband and Wife Courtney Miller and Shayne Topp Miller.

Favorite Popular Ship - I think this doesn't need much explanation.

Favorite Rarepair - So is this one.

Controversial Ship - Okay, so, maybe they're not that controversial, but OMG people hate villains and people just can't grasp the fact that sometimes we read books and watch shows and find the villains entertaining because they're complexly written. Do we condone all the fucked up things these two assholes had done? Nah. Do we find character dynamics and development interesting to pay attention to and how the story makes us wanna know what happen? Yeah! But still, people hate me for finding these particular fictional rocks interesting 😂🙃 Other than that, there are people with the headcanon of them being sisters and you know how people treat different headcanons than theirs online, harass the fuck out of anyone who has that different headcanon.

Ship That I Want To Become Canon Most - Sometimes an enby just wants to enjoy a non problematic ship where two adults fall in love and be parents. Sometimes I just wanna enjoy a found family and adoption ever after. Like that sweet dream stepmom headcanon or a girl adopted by loving parents and gets a younger sister thing. Like man. Sometimes you just want simple things. Llsten, I don't think my favorite, even close to canon queer cookie ships can have the chance so Devsis. I'm begging you. At least the breeders are ok with this one, just give it a greenlight.

Comfort Ship - This also needs no explanation lol. They're my foster parents.

A Ship That Deserves More Attention - I'm generally a casual Jojo shipper and most of my favorite ships are the common ones but I really enjoy the KakPol dynamic. Something about a chill guy and a disastrous guy feels kinda sweet to me. To be honest, I find Part 3 Jotaro is hard to ship with anyone (yes, including Kakyoin -- I'm ok with the ship tho!) because of how edgy and distant he is. Like, he's just being his cool main character self and no one can touch him (and Jotaro is my most favorite beside Lisa Lisa lol, but sometimes it's just weird how you just like a character but can't really ship em with anyone). So I just pay more giggles to KakPol and sometimes PolAvdol.

First OTP - I'm torn between Jason and Kimberly from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Rei and Minako from Sailor Moon or THEM. But I feel for a fact that I was a hardcore Xena x Gabrielle stan at 6-7 years old is so interesting to me. First of all, this isn't a kids show, unlike Power Rangers or Sailor Moon anime. Second of all, I still understood nothing and my idea of romance were soooo limited, yet I wanted these two to hold hands and go on dates. NO ONE TOLD ME HOW TO BE GAY but somehow I AM. I tuned in to Xena every Sunday afternoon. Like I just wanna see Xena and Gabrielle be badass and flirt with each other and somehow frustrated why they keep pairing them with uninteresting men lol 😂 but yeah. Look where I am now!

Current OTP - And to wrap it and sorta make it funny, of course I gotta involve another ship that has a Gabriel on it 😂 Of course this is my choice of current otp. I invest to them a lot and I still can't get enough of them. I want them to kiss forever and I'm grateful they have all the time to kiss 🥰
