#shipping discourse in 2025

[aipurjopa]

my stance on the stupid boundary thing has always been "if you're going to break them, tag your shit properly and don't do it in a place where the cc can see it." like.

Always was the Naruto kid. I got into Bleach very recently, havent finished the series completely yet. Got a question for the Bleach folks tho:

why are the canon ships so bad. does rukia know shes supposed to be in love with renji. did anyone told her.

[susanoois]

I'm laughing emotional that Superbat is going viral. Like if it were a few years ago we would see bad comments about the ship and something like that. I'm really happy with the hype of the couple even though I don't ship them both that much (I'm in my Batlantern era) OMG it's so good to see Bruce/Batman being loved with other dynamics.!

I think the reason the Sammick thing bothers me is because it’s such a trivial thing to divide Black creators. Like, we have to stand up for each other about so much stuff, in fandom, and you’re blocking other Black creators over SAMMICK??

Digimon fans ONLY send me a like if you ship gay . digimon is my childhood and I was gay back then too so let's all work together to taint its image

With Davrin's companion week here, he's been on my mind a lot, and I started rolling with a ficlet within a ficlet (a turduckin of ship fics, if you will) and I got myself stumped! I have Opinions of course, all very casual soft and mushy in the belief that it would be so very wonderful if everyone found love (not necessarily in a partner but I continue to swoon over Dav and his chivalrous heart, and I've seen mixed results in the Fandom. No wrong answers, obviously! This is purely for fun) Let me know what you all think so I can be extra fluffy this week!

Tagging a few moots who may have thoughts or ships of their own: @draco-illius-noctis @sunny374940 @hedwigoprah @davrinsleftpectoral @blackwall-my-tiny-husband and you. seriously anyone is free to chime in I needed to decide this YESTERDAY HELP ME 😂

also NPCs and Crack ships are valid please give me your most insane/depraved/rare pair opinions I swear to God I live for those. joke answers are also welcome I could use a pick me up

crazy to me how quickly people are willing to completely ignore the fact that peridot is canonically aroace

[aawaken01]

Fandoms sharing ships names is horrendous because tell me why I looked up 'Jam' and 'Jay x Tim' expecting fanart of Jay Merrick and Tim Wright and instead got batcest fanart between Jason Todd and Tim Drake

[bergamot-screaming]

me: sipping tea, enjoying a show that barely has any romantic subplots in it and instead opts to showcase platonic and mentor/mentee relationships in a media landscape that all too often pushes those dynamics aside in favor of romantic and sexual ones

the sounds of the shipping community for said show in the distance: muffled crying, the sounds of bombs going off, screaming about how its just a show so its not like real life cheating, the frantic sounds of a keyboard, a fistfight over how ethical age gap and boss/employee relationships are

me (mumbling): dont look over there. its fine. they’re having fun. itll just make you angry. dont get roped up into it. its fine.

[hyperlexichypatia]

Me Giving a Pressed Conference: Shipping characters who do morally questionable, or even reprehensible things, in universe is a morally neutral act.

Reporter I Hate (Not Sexual Tension): Does that include Reylo?

Me: *Blood streaming from my nostrils and eyes* david, it includes everyone.

Some call me multifandom and a multishipper, I like to call it doing whatever the fuck I want

[spitblaze]

every day people are getting deeply and personally invested in and having their mental health ruined by things that do not matter, at all, actually

[r0semultiverse]

People in the Cookie Run Kingdom fandom have apparently sent death threats to certain accounts over shipping 2 consenting adults because of an “age gap” (both hundreds or thousands of years old, idk I don't go here, heard it through my bestie)

This is what an age gap looks like apparently to these discourse accounts basically as an example or two from another fandom:

Also not all ships are perfectly happy or healthy, not everyone's going for a picket fence pipe dream here.

Some ships can exist to make each other worse.
