this modern day fandom culture is killing me because we’re losing the art of shipping
these days you have to publish a dissertation and make a 100 page powerpoint with textual and subtextual evidence to back up the fact that you like seeing two characters together because apparently people can only ship what’s canon now
back in my day we used to be able to ship characters who never interacted,
we used to ship characters that didn’t even exist within the same media
I am not sure how this complaint coexists with the whole “there’s nothing but x-reader fics these days!” complaint… but I guess with so many fannish viewpoints, there’s enough room for there to be both too much and too little of everything
