i swear i hate the bnha fandom. its basically full of little teenagers who think they have a right to tell people where they stand in the fandom. they throw the word abuse around like its the only word in their dictionary. they treat bkdk shippers and any other ship they proclaim is abusive, like their nothing but a disease because they think its okay to hate on them and bully them. they make ship events and keep certain shippers out of it. if people proclaim their love for mistuki or believe endeavor can change, they automatically proclaim those people support their “abusive tendacies”. they trash horikoshi cause they say he’s a terrible writer bc the plotline isn’t going the way they want or that their faves aren’t getting the spotlight. bitches he created this manga you have no say in what gets to happen. hori has probably sacrificed alot to bring the bnha series to us and y'all are trashing him cause things aren’t going y'alls way. talk about being fucking ungrateful. in the end horikoshi gets to decide what happens.

also y'all don’t get to say where people stand in this fandom. this isn’t y'alls little teenage cliques at school. this is a fandom filled with different people of different ages from all over the world. better fucking remember that.

This is why it’s so weird being in a fandom as a soon-to-be 35-year-old.

(commenting on the ship stuff because I’m not caught up on the manga)

So many fandoms are like this. Like I know it feels like its just one in particular but ALL fandoms have that group whose sole purpose is to ruin someone’s day instead of, you know, scrolling past the stuff they don’t like and focusing on the stuff they enjoy. Like all that energy used to tell someone that their ship is trash could be spent on a fic or fanart, you know? 

I have seen some gnarly ship wars, like, some real “wtf is this nonsense” (talk to me about SasuNaru sometime). Like you can not like a ship, that’s perfectly fine, but don’t be in folks’ inboxes telling them that they should die a fiery death or whatever because they like a thing that you don’t. 

And it’s so wild, because I swear the bakudeku folks I follow actually LIKE the other ships, too? Like they aren’t telling kiribaku or tododeku or whatever that they’re gonna burn in hell, they’re out here like, “Yes yes, that’s a fine ship, Bakugou clasped onto Kirishima’s hand, A+, but I just happen to dig him with Deku.” And that’s it. 

tl;dr: no one’s forcing you to like a thing so leave folks alone.

It drives me crazy when people who ship pairings with literally ZERO basis in canon go off on me about how what I ship is gross or invalid or impossible.

It’s like…brah, you’re shipping two characters who share less than ten minutes of screentime in a game series that takes 150+ hours to complete. One of these two characters is entirely motivated by their affection for another character. The other one shows mild interest in two other characters through the course of the series, and neither of those go anywhere because they don’t have time.

But oh, am I getting on your case for shipping something counter to what I ship in that fandom? Even though it has no basis? Of course not, it’s A PAIRING. It’s FICTIONAL PEOPLE IN A FICTIONAL RELATIONSHIP.

So then why in the WORLD do these people always feel it necessary to get on my case for shipping ANYTHING?

It’s like OGC Tseng/Rufus shippers all over again. (For anyone who doesn’t understand this reference, Tseng and Rufus share no screentime whatsoever in OGC. Period. They aren’t seen in the same frame until the latter portion of AC, and Tseng has no speaking lines in the two short segments where he’s shown in Rufus’ presence. In OGC Tseng shows no interest in anyone except for Aerith—who is notably younger than him and he kidnapped and beat because orders are orders—and Elena—who is even MORE notably younger than him, like uncomfortably so. Tseng/Rufus remains one of the biggest pairings in the FF7 fandom, and to a lot of people for a very long time it was a very big no-no to ship Tseng with anyone else, on the basis of “characterization.” Even though they didn’t actually talk to each other in a canon source until almost ten years after the original game was released.)

This reminds me of Gundam Wing and people shipping Duo and Zechs because they look good together (all that gorgeous hair you know, but I don’t think they talk at all in the series).  And I’m not saying you can’t ship them, ship who you want who cares, but then to turn around and be like, “But how can you ship Heero and Duo, Duo and Zechs is pure and holy and God him/herself told me this pairing is canon,” is just crazy.  Let people ship whoever the heck they want  :)

You know what?  With our books coming out and whatnot I dream of the day when they become so popular there are fandoms, and people shipping characters, and I’m waiting for the ships to be created that I never thought of, or even if in the book I have Character A with Character B fics spring up for Character A with Character 21.  And that will be cool with me, that’ll be amazing, I’m not going to be like, “NOW HOLD ON WAIT A MINUTE!”  Because it’s fandom, and fun, and I can’t wait to see what people come up with  :)  Like please ship my characters, please do the thing  <3

when you finally accept that you ship a certain ship 

Yeeeeeeeeeeah pretty much this.  

1.  Reigisa

Oh man.  So I feel like, in the beginning, for Nagisa, Rei was just like… a new toy to play with.  That sounds terrible, but I feel like Rei was like, the new shiny thing for him to follow around and be caught up in.  Rei was a new thing to poke at, because Mako and Haru already know how Nagisa is.  But, as time went on, I think Nagisa really fell in love with Rei.  I mean, we all did, didn’t we?  Rei went from being this giant dork to just, really, the best character in the series.  He not only asks all of the questions we had (What happened in Australia, Rin?  Why are you guys not talking?  What do these boys mean to you?  ect.), but he essentially fixes the team.  He also has very real reactions, like, “I quit the track team for this I deserve to know what’s going on.”  And even after that, he stepped back to give the team what they needed.

It’s hard not to love him after that.

So I think, from the first moment they met when Nagisa was like, “It’s because you looked beautiful,” I think by the last episode Nagisa’s tone changed to, “It’s because you are beautiful.”

2.  RinHaru/MakoHaru/the OT3

I know the fandom fights about this, but honestly, I see it in all ways.  It’s clear to be that Mako and Haru are pretty much husbands, but Rin is like, this force, this sort of chaos that Haru not only craves, but needs in his life.  And Mako is the type to understand that, and even appreciate it.  I think Mako brings out something different in Haru, as does Rin.  I also think that Haru genuinely cares for both of them.  Mako is something Haru can always, always depend on, and he knows that he’ll always be there.  Rin is something hot, and fresh, and just too tempting for his own good.  Mako lets Haru swim, for example, while Rin makes Haru question why he likes doing it.  It’s two different things, but both equally important in Haru’s life.  And I think Rin can appreciate what Mako does for Haru, and Mako can appreciate what Rin does for Haru.  

3.  Madoka x Homura

It’s like this tragic love story that’s never meant to be, no matter how hard they try.  What’s worse is when you find out that Madoka was a magical girl first, you know?  Like, you’re watching and thinking it’s been Homura, then episode 10 happens and its like, “Oh god Homura got involved in this because of Madoka!”  And just, o.k., even if you don’t see yuri, you have to see that there’s strong feelings there.  And it’s not one-sided, not really, which is actually more painful.  Each time Homura and Madoka get another chance, and those feelings develop again, and again, and again, until Homura decides to tackle it on her on which… doesn’t work.  Even when she fought by herself and didn’t even talk to Madoka it was like, “Nope.”

I do ship them, so hard, but I never actively go out looking for art or fic because they make me so sad.  Right up there with like, Seishiro and Subaru from X/1999… although THAT SHIP is still my number one “going to cry into my pillow forever now” ship.  As much as Madoka and Homura are painful to watch, nothing, and I mean nothing, beats Seishiro and Subaru for me.  Can’t even begin to describe the pain of those two.

This.  This is needed today.  This is something I would totally give to my wifey today.

The smile I got on my face was really stupid just now.

I’ve always wondered if God gets excited when we finally find the person He created us to be with. Or if He is watching and is like, “That was them! NO. NO. TURN AROUND! YOU MISSED THEM! THAT WAS THEM!”

“UGH, WHY ARE ALL MY OTPS WALKING BY EACH OTHER WITHOUT NOTICING!”

We are in a giant reality tv show and God and the angels are the fandom. 

thunderstorms are nothing more than ship wars going on in heaven

Rain is when an OTP goes through a bunch of angst and torment. They’re up there crying over it.  

When it’s really hot outside, it means that the OTP is having sexy times. The angels are easily excitable.  

Snowstorms are them being pissed off because their OTP is just being stupid.  "Come on, idiot!  Just confess your feelings!“

Tornadoes are the ultimate ship war.

Guys.

Are we sure that this isn’t a canon yaoi anime?

I mean o.k. o.k. sorry I know it’s not canon.

But.

Like.

Guys?

THERE ARE SHIPS MEANT FOR FLUFFY NIGHTS IN FRONT OF THE TV WITH POPCORNS AND CUTE KISSES AND CUDDLES AND THEN THERE ARE SHIPS MEANT FOR HARDCORE ANGRY SEX

My ships tend to be able to do both.

OTP OTP OTP OTP OTP

See this?  Kanji and Naoto makes me feel like I’m 13 and shipping that ship.  You know.  That ship.  The ship you ship whenever they do something.  Period.  If they’re in the same scene together you spaz.  If one says the other’s name you spaz.  If there’s any sort of physical contact between the two, you spaz.  Like, adult me sees this and is like, “He’s just holding her up.  But thirteen year old me is like, "OMFG THEY’RE GONNA GET MARRIED AND HAVE A MILLION BEAUTIFUL BABIES TOGETHER CUZ HE’S HOLDING HER UP!!!”
