People who just ships just bug me so. much. Like you said, it's fiction, so in theory we could write any combination of people. Obviously, most people don't do that, but who's to say that's wrong?
As for GTOP, the way you describe it is wonderful and I can definitely see why you ship it. I honestly ship it just because I love the way you write them, without ever seeing them interact. Just saying.
As for the bandwagon bullshit, fandom is full of claims like that. Things can get popular without it being about conforming or trying to fit it. Just, ugh.
thank you, amy! in all honesty i used to one of those people who made fun of other people for their ships but then the gd/top wank started and i figured out it sucks being at the other end of the line, so i've definitely stopped doing it. it's just such a bitter thing to do and you can easily offend somebody.
I loveddddd "breathe in". So bittersweet and beautiful at the same time!
I agree with everything you said, bb. I hate when people say shit like that. I prefer G-TOP over other pairings because of that beautiful friendship they have too. G-Ri seems like it's mainly for fanservice for me, but Ji and Hyun's friendship and close relationship is just so real and rare to find! I've never been a major shipper of any pairing till I discovered them.^^ I think it's fun to try and find the G-TOP occuring in certain videos and pics when you're not supposed to be focused on them, you know what I mean?
g/ri definitely has more than its fair share of fanservice (lucky bitches) but i don't doubt either that they care about each other. but i wouldn't say that gd and top's relationship is any less close just because they don't cling to each other. everybody interacts differently.
and i definitely know what you mean with the last line. i've become such an expert at detecting ninja gtop in the corners and backgrounds of videos >) (lmao, my life)
i dont know if you mean me or other people? i have a masterlist as one of my links at the top of my lj, you can also go through my memories because i've memmed my favorites, and there is a yg family fiction recommendation community called wetheleaders, so you can go through their tags and find gd/top fics because they have a lot. happy reading!
I really loved the drabbles and I really have to agree w/ everything you've said. I ship GTOP not just because of the awesome writers but because they have this type of bond with each other that just seems so natural and everything else f_i_x_m_e said, I agree since I really suck at putting my thoughts into words. basically: GTOP > GRi because GTOP = natural, GRi = fanservice??
i dont think making a converse statement by saying gdtop outdoes gdri is fair, either. i wasn't trying to say gtop is real and everything else is fake, i was trying to say that we shouldn't compare pairings, or put one down just because it seems like they dont interact (or, because it seems like it's just fanservice) - because who are we to say that? we don't know the truth. we make assumptions based on our own biases and preferences, and you can really argue a case for any pairing if you wanted. so it should be gtop = gri = gdyb = whatever else, even if in our eyes, gtop >>>>>>> everything, lol.
lol i know, again, like I said earlier, I'm horrible at putting my thoughts into words but the whole GTOP > GRi thing is my personal opinion so it's not necessarily fact, ya know? ^^;; yeaahh sorryyy. ahaha.
i'm pretty sure i've commented on all these fics anon, but i would also like to express my love for them unanon. so ♥ for all of them but especially the teddy/cl. the last line ;~;
but yeah the shipping thing. :/ i just dislike being pegged as someone who ships the way they do because of superficial reasons. at the same time it's like, none of this is real, so if i want to be completely superficial that's my business. idk. you said it all, really. and lol at gd the snaggletooth and chubbo!top his bff.
pokeverse >>>>>>>> all of this, even if i still judge you hard for it ahahhaha. oh my clteddy, he makes it up to her later let's just assume!
bleh, me too. i'm a shallow person, i admit this, but if i based everything on solely the fact that they just look good together, i probably would have moved on a long time ago. and anyway your icon disproves the fact that they don't interact, A+!
