The belief of "if you like [insert ship] then you dont understand the characters" is baffling to me.

Because that's not what shipping is about.

I don't want to see these characters making out on screen, I don't want them to be made canon, I have no interest in the main story being changed just for a relationship to work. What I DO want to see is the what-if scenarios of how these people would end up together.

That's what shipping is, the what-ifs, the possibilities, the understanding that of course this is never gonna happen but what would it take for them to cross the line? What needs to happen to make him say that, y'know?

You can understand a character perfectly, can know them more than you're own brain and have never once strayed from their canon and still find the possible dynamic of them and a character interesting.

You can still imagine scenarios of 'what if he said this instead?' 'what if this went differently?' 'what would it take for them to mesh just right?' and you can do it ENTIRELY in character.

People explore ships and enjoy ships because they are a way to mess with different dynamics and ideas, not because it's what they want to see on screen, and not because they think it makes complete or perfect sense. They simply find the dynamic and 'what if they kissed' ideas enticing. That's all it is.

Fandom is for having fun, it's for relaxing and playing with digital dolls and writing fanfiction about if the dolls had trauma, and this weird elitism of 'well you don't get them like I do so therefore YOUR interpretation is wrong' is just. . . mean?

Trust me, I get not liking certain ships or HCs, I do that all the time but I also know that I don't live in that person's head. I don't know the dynamic they see, doesn't matter if they're 'in-character' or not. There are plenty of ships I have seen and haven't liked at first but then after seeing a person's AU or fic, I change my mind based on that interpretation.

Making the claim that 'you don't really understand these characters or the story' based on someone having fun with the source material is so strange to me. Not everything has to be serious 100% of the time. People will see things differently than you, and saying that they're 'fake fans' or 'don't get it' because of that feels so silly to me.

No one is lesser of a fan because they ship something.

I am so sorry for such a long post, I am just very passionate about this subject.

TLDR; people are still on their 'real fans vs fake fans' trip and I'm tired of it.

I'm convinced that the people saying Chuuya is never anyones first option have only ever seen the horrible destruction of characters and their relationships that bones has animated.

as cool as their design is im really starting to dislike the sonau in general, aside from their stuff suddendly being everywhere and everything being about them and how cool(tm) they are now with the mystery stone turning people into dragons and the similarities between the sonau and the three dragons (naydra, eldra, farodra) its actually not an impossibility that they used to be sonaus as alot of people have been theorizing about ..but ...... idk that would very much ruin their otherwordly yet ethereal mystery to me

i probably sound like some hater whos trying to find something more to dislike about totk all the time but i promise im not!!

the three dragons being some unexplained mystery, beings that are there yet few can see them, timeless, nigh untouchable, they dont act on anything, they dont talk, something about them has always made me look at them in awe; if it turned out they were just yet another cool(tm) sonau guy that ate a stone ... :/

not a fan of that one lads, but dont worry, i will keep my thoughts to myself from now on, i dont want to ruin other peoples fun nor seem like i just hate everything ... the three dragons are just really important to me so i had to say something

I wanna do a small census on the Ninjago fandom.

How many of yall are minors and how many of yall are over 18. (Press see answers if ur uncomfortable with answering)

This is just to get a feel of who is seeing the posts in #ninjago! I notice there are a lot of younger fans, and if the number of older fans is small enough I'd like to get to know you guys// I want to know how ur doing, what kind of jobs are common in this fandom, how do you afford ur merch, etc. :]

(DM me please I need more friends preferably in my age range [20s] to talk to about Ninjago things. Please for the love of god.)

I've been as closely as I can describe as sex repulsed as long as I've known about sex (which was in elementary school 🙃 kid at school showed me porn in like 3rd grade) but I'm like certain my relationship with my parents has definitely left an imprint of me being aroace

[starlightofthesky]

Now i would like to state i am neither an anti shipper or pro-shipper but i am curious ( and do not intend to offend, just curious) I’ve heard many different definitions of pro-ship. pro-shippers yourselves, how would you describe pro-ship in your own opinion/ what does it mean for you?

I just want to have the opportunity to understand pro-shipping more/gen

Well I finally told my manager ab how NewLady is making it a hostile work environment

Don't know if anything will come of it, but I've had enough. I nearly yelled at her today bc she was bitching again ab where RC put the pallet (one in side aisle and was gonna put some in center but I heard NL bitching that she "better not put those fucking pallets there" so I told RC to put them in front of kids bc I didn't mind) and she then pushed her cart and folding table to the edge of the main aisle to keep RC from being able to put her shit there (she was on the other end of the main aisle no where near there) and if she started bitching again I was going to say something like

"You need to knock it off. You don't own that aisle, I don't own this area, and NetflixCoworker doesn't own Ladies. We work as a team here at [job] so you need to learn how to share."

And she didn't say anything so I didn't say that, but as I was retelling RC this at 8am, I saw Bootleg up front so I just handed her my water bottle, said I'll meet you in the breakroom, and went up to him

He said they're probably not gonna be able to do much bc they can't write her up for attitude (um yes you fucking can) but he's gonna at least talk to LadyManager and see what NewLady had said when asked to do those 6 pallets sunday bc she's not one to just get pushed around so he wants to know what's up there. But anyway I said my peace, I didn't cry while doing it, and now every single one of us has reported her uncooperativeness to management. I've done what I could

I remember seeing a lot of people saying things like "oh people assume you're cishet before you come out because it's most common/seen as the default..." But I disagree. Cishet isn't the default in any way, even if common. My take of the day:

Aroace agender is the human default.

Everyone starts off as a baby. And babies are inherently aaa because. Obviously. Babies do not see bodies as anything (other than mother's milk which is food), it's not sexual. Babies do not want romance, only platonic love is enough. Babies don't understand gender stereotypes, and therefore everything is agender. It's just "thing", not "masculine thing" or "feminine thing".

As they grow up, kids of certain ages start understanding and putting weight on gender, giving them a gender identity/ideal. Their bodies look the same as their peers (purely body shape, ignoring hair and clothing etc), so they are the same, therefore there is no "two(or more) genders", and it's just "child".

Most children don't start feeling any kind of romantic attraction until a certain age (if ever). Sexual attraction comes much later too, when teens "discover themselves"(aka coming out as not ace) (if they're not ace).

All this to say, cishet is not default. Kis shouldn't have to "come out" as not cishet, because they shouldn't be assumed to be cishet in the first place. Adults shouldn't push their views onto kids who have yet to even understand these concepts, much less worry about it yet.

these are similar women to me but i dont think anyone is ready for that conversation yet

[thats-a-lot-of-cortisol]

My mom just sent a message to the family group chat suggesting that my siblings download the 'For the Strength of Youth' magazine on their Gospel Library app and talked about how much the youth magazines helped her testimony growing up and like, cool. Fine. Don't know why the 'sending random spiritual thoughts in the gc' thing started out of nowhere when it hadn't been a thing for a decade but this is just another one of those, and you're ofc allowed to talk about things that are significant in your life.

I don't think sending the 'What I Did When Someone Close to Me Challenged My Faith' article right afterwards was strictly necessary though 🙃
