just saw a femslash ships poll that was "what was your first femslash ship" and i want everyone to know it's totally okay to have a ship that isn't canon, that was never recognized by the showrunners or the actors or canon, that you don't have to view your own queerness through the lens of getting a little kiss on the forehead from mommy and daddy showrunner telling you that they've found a way to monetize your identity.

like listen we're all consumers of media and other things, we live in a society of consumption (no you live in a society i live in debt to a raccoon etc) but you are more than allowed to enjoy your identity in a way that doesn't treat each facet of your personality like a social currency coin. it's okay. fanfiction is supposed to be transformative. you don't have to sit with those people
