Real talk though, negativity in the self ship community really ticks me off.

No one ‘deserves’ a particular character more. No one and their fav is a better ‘ship’ than someone else and their fav. This is all really personal stuff that we all ended up sharing because sharing and a sense of community is fun.

Maybe it’s because I’m older and I’ve gone through some shit, but I cannot believe that people would bring nastiness into personal relationships with fictional characters.

“But it’s the internet and they posted it-”

No.

Just like it would be really inappropriate to start negatively commenting on a stranger’s personal post about their life problems that they posted to communicate with their friends or vent, it’s not appropriate to be nasty about people’s self ships.

You’re either here to support them, or you get the fuck out. No one’s making you look at it, and it’s not hurting you. (If it’s an actual problem ie adult with minor character, you block and move on).

Because if you think being an asshole to people over self shipping is appropriate, you need to take a step back. We’re all just trying to survive here, and if you’re directly trying to impede that, you are a grade A fucker and I don’t want you near me.

So unfollow, block, I don’t care.

I’m not here for this shit.
