Random thought...

Mar 08, 2015 02:06

You know, I sometime think I hate Marvel (or Disney, but its still all Marvel one way or another). I somehow want to blame them for making me watch their movies about these broken, beautiful characters, which only ends in me shipping two pairings who have forced their way into my top three OTP's. Which would be fine, except those two pairings are ( Read more... )

warning: pointlessness ahead, oh glorious angst, kim is being random, #feels!, this is me muttering to myself, facepalm, what?...i'm so not procrastinating

I know. These characters are just too complex, and broken, and beautiful. I stood no hope lol.

I, too, have despaired my endless love for the tragic, sad and broken. It is an addiction unparalleled and one that I have long resigned myself to. Not that I'm unahppy about this most of the time, but...let's just say, I totally identify with you here, lol!

Yes, an endless love for the tragic. Because I know I will never give it up, don't even want to. Even if it means sitting up till ungodly hours to finish a fic, or caught in a youtube spiral. There is just something about being able to connect with characters and feel their heartache, feel for those ones who have been put through a hell of others or their own making, to still be able to see something of who they were or still could be within, despite everything. To feel that ache in your chest. I've said to hubby before that the best stories and characters are the ones who can make you cry, and its true.

So yeah, I will resign myself to grumbling about Marvel and the like, which is actually only a tribute to their storytelling, and continue to hold these characters and ships in my heart.

I find myself having the same dilemma with my fandoms, too.

I'll find a ship I like (or more, the ship finds me and latches onto me and never lets go) and if it's not definite I'll be happy shipping them, only then something happens and it's almost always guaranteed to have angst involved within canon. Then of course there are the ones that I know will end tragically but I still ship it anyway and I try to be in denial and surround myself with happy, fluffy headcanons and fix-its and the like. But really, almost all my ships will feature angst and pain of some kind. I keep asking myself why I continue to fall for these kinds of ships especially the ones knowing how heartbroken I will be. But idk. I don't consider myself a masochist because it's certainly not the case in many instances, but being a shipper in fandom you do wonder if there is a level of it somewhere.

It's a kind of good dilemma to have, a tribute to good characters.

I have often wondered if being a shipper in fandom is a kind of masochism. Though not really in the true sense of the word maybe. But I will always love stories and characters that make me cry. I find a beauty in broken characters, perhaps it is that they deserve good things more than any others, those characters who have been through hell, yet somehow there is still something good inside, even if its a little twisted sometimes. Maybe its a kind of hope, that there will be redemption, or they will find a way to love despite how fucked up the world is. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic that find romance in the hopeless *shrugs*

Whatever it is, I know I will continue to be drawn to them, no matter how much it hurts.

I am always lured into these kinds of ships also.

It's why I read/write as much fluff as I can get my hands on whilst knowing they are broken angsty characters really!

Sometimes they just really need a hug!

fate_incomplete March 8 2015, 23:02:56 UTC

lol, sometimes they do just need a hug. I find myself reading fluff and sweet fics in amongst all the angsty ones too. Though I sometimes find the sweet ones sad because of how broken the characters are and its just so damn nice to see them have good things for once.

I do like the bittersweet moments, as I feel like Bucky/Steve are all about that (along with so many of my other pairings, it's a curse, why am I lured to them?!) but yeah sometimes all I need is to get lost in an AU where everything works out fine and they're happy and I can have that sustain me just a little through all the hurty stuff.
