Ship And Let Ship - Blog Posts

legal ships this, illegal ships that... no ships are illegal. the government is not regulating what fictional characters you can and cannot think would create an interesting dynamic. just let people have funnnn omgggg

2024 Proship-tober!

I don't believe the proship community has an art-tober sort of thing! So I made one! Feel free to skip days! Posting this early to give people time to prepare! <3

I'm a fandom oldie and a strong proponent of "ship and let ship", and I defend everyone else's right to ship what they love... But I think that gives people the idea that I like, automatically love every single ship??? Or every single trope?

I don't though!

There are a lot of fandom tropes that are on my "absolutely fuck no" list. There are a lot of irk kinks that are also on my "nope absolutely not" list, too. Personally, this is healthy. I'm able to look at something and go "Yep, I hate it, but it's not harming anyone, so continue to do as you please."

I’d like to rant about something I’ve noticed over 7+ years in fandoms which is 100% probably just me I just wanna know if anyone relates.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with making oc/canon relationships in a ‘I get other people doing it but I’d feel weird about doing it myself’ way instead of a ‘that’s a fictional character/canon characters can’t have fan-made love interests’ way? I have no idea how to describe this accurately, might have something to do with being on the aroace spectrum. SALS (ship and let ship), obviously, I just personally feel weird about creating ocs in relationships with canon characters as a result of an attachment to a character??? Fr I’ll make fanart of fanships but not a fanship of my own.

Like does that make sense???

That might be why—across all my ocs—there are, like, 2 couples of which one is too old for me to get rid of/has a lot of sentimental value and the other kinda just…exists as a plot line.

PLEASE TELL ME AT LEAST SOME OF THIS MAKES SENSE????
