you know what. i say that all chucker is actually chuckboose in disguise but you know what the same is true for tuckington. caboose is there. he needs to be there. why are you writing tucker and wash together without their third. where is he.

#there’s something about the way fandom treats ships as if they’re just ‘ships’ and not ‘two characters in a relationship’ that like.#you see it most prominently in the misogynistic degradation of the female character getting in the way of an m/m ship but #even in contexts outside of that. they just ignore the lives of the characters that aren’t related to the relationship #friendships? don’t matter. past relationships? don’t matter. it’s just about the yaoi.#if you want to write tuckington but don’t like chucker then you. don’t like tuckington i’m sorry.#you like wash/an oc #and i don’t mean that you need to ‘ship’ chucker i mean #church was an incredibly important person in tuckers life whether romantically or platonically #and tuckers feelings about church were an incredibly important element of wash and tuckers relationship #so much tuckington just ignores church and caboose as if they’re both not unbelievably important parts of both tucker and wash’s lives #it ignores wash’s relationship with carolina too but i care less about wash so i have less feelings about the way his character is treated l #junior either gets ignored or used as a prop for fluffy moments #soooo rarely is junior an actual character. he’s just something for tucker to make heart eyes at wash about for being good with him #i don’t know i’ve been enjoying tuckington a lot more lately and i’m figuring out why i was so turned off of it for so long #i feel so bad for people who are huge fans of grif and simmons and their canon relationship #i don’t think i could survive all the fanon grimmons stuff. braver than any unsc marine for real
