#im not trying to intentionally bash ships? but I also very rarely care about ships so #im worried this is just gonna come off as “ughhhh I hate fandom because theyre' always shipping stuff and I hate shipping”#which like. thats a little true but I actually do wanna talk about things yk #like why is this ship popular? why is this ship loved/hated by the fandom?#i dont know #like i spent 3 pages tearing into goldric for being boring and only existing bc people love snarky teen mlm #which is like. its true but also feels unecessarily harsh lmao #i dont knowwwwwwwwwwwww #i need more people to bounce ideas off of maybe #bc i am not super involved in the shipping side of fandoms #ive chatted w/ some people but mmmmmmm #idk. im definetly gonna ask if anyone wants to beta read my script but only once I actually. finish it #currently im like. maybe 3/8 of the way through it #lilac post #idk. feel free to talk 2 e about it in the replies of this post or smthn bc I loveeeee this topic #it's also like. The issue of. I feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing #like someone's gonna come in here and he like “why are you being such a hater we're all just playing around and having fun leave us alone”#I'm not trying to bash any ships!!!#im just trying to be like okay here's what the ship #it's difficult to say what I'm doing #because it's partially A. Documenting of toh fandom and shipping culture #and B. Social commentary about that culture #which is kind of like. A weird balancing act #and it comes back to how much of what I'm complaining about actually matters?#At what point does it turn from thoughtful commentary to me bitching about the general fandom as a whole?#It's kind of difficult to explain what I'm even doing which is mmmmmm #Like does this actually matter?#then again. People make videos about stupid internet drama all the time and that definitely doesn't matter so #maybe I can be self indulgent and a bit of a hater #sigh
