you know what I hate

I hate when people approach giving advice on fictional characters people want to RP as if not shipping a character with somebody (generally but not invariably the most popular ship in fandom) is the most important aspect of doing it right, and as if shipping them with that character is the most grievous sin against IC you ( Read more... )

...What the shit?

No! Shipping is the fun part of fandom! I firmly believe that anybody can end up with anybody if you get the circumstances right. (If I didn't, I wouldn't ship Tony Stark with Sherlock Holmes. :D)

Hnnn. I do not and will never get RP people's neurotic obsession with not being seen to be a shipper. As if 95% of canons out there weren't structured around at least one romance already. As if it's not the focal point of a good chunk of people's real lives.

Just.

yeah idek!

I mean I am aromantic so if anyone has reason to be like LESS SHIPS IN THINGS!!! then I do, but bloody hell

it just narks me off when people get picky about a specific pairing being the be-all and end-all of whether something's IC or not, especially when the implication is that not shipping it proves you are IC

which ... makes fuck all sense

Seriously, man. That is like the combination of my two biggest RP pet peeves ever. Because I also hate when people lay out a perscription for a character like IF YOU INCLUDE THIS, YOU FAIL and IF YOU FAIL TO INCLUDE THIS, YOU ALSO FAIL. And I am just like SCREW YOU AND YOUR SUBJECTIVE INTERPRETATION PERSON. SCREW YOU IN THE EAR.
