So apparently there's a Kate/Henry vs. Kate/Will shipping war started by all the Kate/Henry shippers since all of the Kate/Will shippers are above that ( Read more... )

show: sanctuary, what even, fandom: ships

Totally agree with this too. It's nice to have friendly discussions about the ships we like and hear other people's opinions on them and for them to discuss why they like their ships, not for it to turn into a war just because someone doesn't like a ship.

I was once dedicated to a ship war. I was involved in massive campaigning to destroy the ship, general bashing of the pair and the character I didn't like in the pair, and sported icons that said things like "DIE, CHARACTER I DIDN'T LIKE BUT WON'T MENTION FOR FEAR OF STARTING SOMETHING NOW, DIE."

That was when I was 12. Grow the fuck up, people.

Well said. :)

Speaking as a pretty non-vocal Sanctuary shipper in general, I just want to say that I ship everyone with everyone, and probably some of the abnormals with each other too (Sally/Two-Faced Chuck, anyone?). Actually, what I wanted to say is that I reaaaaalllly try to stay out of actively participating in fandom, after this summer. Look, if people can be that crazy in person, then like hell I want to get into it on the internet.

It's very, very difficult to know the vocal 'shippers and not want to bop them over the head when they do things like start drama just for the sake of...starting drama, I guess?

As for Kate/Will, Kate/Henry, I really do see both. Happily. And Kate/Helen and Kate/Bigfoot. This show has made me realize just how not picky I am in ships, because I just love...love. So, you know, if Kate takes up with a clone of herself, or hallucinates that a lamppost is actually a person, and falls in love with the lamppost, I would be so fine with that. I can sense chemistry with lamp posts ( ... )

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.

I actually don't ship either but the ships I do...well...ship, I know there are people out there who don't like them, my ships being Helen/Will and Helen/Declan and I understand that people might not either like either of those or understand them or don't see them either, but it doesn't mean that it's a ship war. And I'm not going to start drama because people might not like the ships I like, if they don't like it then fair enough they don't like it, I'm sure there are ships they like that I don't. (this is in general).

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and people can ship whoever they want to ship, it's a free country.

And that wasn't directed at you by the way, it was just a general statement/opinion of sorts. If you get my meaning.
