i've actually been trying to think very hard if i've had an actual ship outside of my ocs or incidentally liking a 100% canon relationship as part of the story for the past three years and i'm coming up with like... one??? but tbh that one is 99% fan content and i like it just as much nonromantically as well

#maybe i'm really missing something but. i just am not a ship motivated beast anymore. and i don't read fic much either #i think the last thing i shipped more than was present in canon before like the pandemic cutoff was moonshine and hardwon #but that was still kind of a canon ship. it was just in a relationship anarchy way #all the desire i have for relationship stuff is either just for my ocs or i'm actually reading a romance novel or watching a romcom #aro journey of thinking you're an aro who loves romance media and then being like nah actually fucka you #love loses!!!! hooray!!!!!!!!#i think the biggest example of this was the dee and dee hat movie. where it was my newest favorite movie. lifechanging. extraordinary #but the only fandom content outside of basic art for my precious movie that elevated friendship over romance was. shipping two hot guys #and i was like. ah. there's nothing here for me. and i am officially tired of this mode of fandom.#it's too bad there's no phrase to express that you don't like shipping. and you would prefer the antithesis of shipping #that isn't already caught up in the mice under the floorboards version of the ongoing culture war
