A friendly reminder that a ship does not have to be canon for you to enjoy it. Please respect all ships (even if this means blacklisting the tag bc you simply don’t like it)

#I’m tired pls you do not have to prove a ship is canon to like the ship just let people ship in peace #rwby #yang xiao long #blake belladonna #weiss schnee #ruby rose #summer rose #raven branwen #Rosebird #bumbleby #whiterose #monochrome #checkmate #freezerburn #ladybug #nutsanddolts #insert ships here #poly str

The Thing with Shipping

Every fan goes through this phase in their lives when they see a romance bloom right before their eyes. Be it a live show, an animated series or a scenario found in a book, the Fandom loves to see their favorite characters being together and its a little thing called, Shipping.

[No, we’re NOT talking about actual ships]

In case if you are still confused, the word Shipping/Ship is a slang for - playing matchmaker between two characters based on the media we consume.

No matter if its a Heterosexual ship or a Queer ship. The very act of paring up characters in fiction or live action (though that can be quite questionable) is part of the extension of the medium and is mostly harmless.

- I’d Ship Them! -

Since discovering the culture through DeviantArt. There are a several types of ships in existence. Granted, this isn’t an official list but in general. There are a total of four different types of ships. While the names may vary, they are as follows.

The first is the Canon ship. These ships are either hinted or confirmed after in the show itself as a conclusion. Found in most stories, a lot of canon ships will go as far as to show the characters getting married on screen and have children to declare its official status. As seen in #Hiccstrid.

Some canon ships can also be background characters that has openly admit that they are in fact, lovers. A fine example would be #Harumichi (Sailor Moon).

Visit [mizinnkosutinn] for more...cough* Yuri stuff with these two.

Next is the Non-Canon ship, a type that is just as popular as the latter. While only hinted or played for fan service in the show, these non-canon ships creates small developments for side characters or one off characters to find romance.

As an excuse to mention Toaru once again, my favorite non-canon ship as of now is #Frenten (Saten X Frenda). On the other side, there is Avatar’s #Zutara (Zuko X Katara).

Credit to [hana-zomi]

Depending on who you ask, the next type is called a Cracked ship or Crossover ship. As the name implies, these ships are as Gigguk puts it, a “Cultural Cross Pollination” between characters from different shows. Such popular ships are the likes of [Jack Frost X Elsa], [Wilbur Robinson and Violet Parr] and my personal favorite, [Jim Hawkins and Ariel] These ships are known as the ultimate power couple and is often matched up thanks to the various traits they share.

Last but not least, Self-insert ships. Ah yes, a reader’s wet dream for being with a character they love so very much that they want to be with them. These self-insert fanfictions exist within the mind of the reader where they get to interact with a beloved character from friendship to a relationship.

- Shipping is Hard -

In most mediums, romance is a sub-plot rather than the main plot. There are exceptions to specifically Romance stories where the ship is up front and center of attention, found mostly in school settings or work life. Several shows would also extend on this idea with an already established couple to deal with the growing pains of dating while maintaining their social circles.

As producers, the writers have full creative control to write the characters the way they wanted. In some cases, there is also the potential where executives could interfere with the process to make or break a ship. (mostly to break) However, I have more interest over the communal aspect of shipping culture.

Within the shipping community, some fans get a little...too aggressive with their vocal opinion. For a start, there is this strange obsession with shooting down other fans with “trash” taste in ships. A good example of this is <RWBY> though granted, other fanbases also share the same problem. (Sorry <RWBY> fans, May you Rest in Peace Monty Oum)

Its fanbase is perhaps the most overzealous when it comes to a ship they agree or disagree with. This idea of being protective or aggressive over a fictional couple is found in a lot of forums and unfortunately, they can leave a bad impression to onlooking viewers.

To be fair, I am a bit of a romantic junkie. Any ship is completely fine by me so long as its a healthy, supportive and wholesome relationship. (My favorite is #nutsanddolts if you are curious) However, it has also come to my attention that the issue of “ship baiting” is littered throughout various fanbases.

This issue of “shipping for shipping sake” is quite a problem for representation and it can ruin a ship’s popularity. For a start, I strongly believe that a character has to be a character first before addressing their preferences and love interest. While the issue is found in a lot of early queer characters, I for one think that heterosexual characters are just as guilty with this problem.

Just to point it out, while I like #renora, I can’t help but feel that it was one sided and seemed to be in a stalemate since Volume 6. It was hard for me to root for them and see them be an official couple because it just felt unearned. Similarly, I love the hell out of the ship; #bumbleby it too suffered from a rather lackluster development and was again, placed in a stalemate after the backlash. I have no clue what happened in Volume 8, But I am eagerly waiting for its completion to binge.

Most of <RWBY>’s non-canon or canon ships have fleshed out characteristics and meaningful ship growth that I really like. Also, the fanarts/fan comics are great. But to create toxic behaviors such as gatekeeping and maliciously fighting with other fans over which ship is better or worst is silly. Adding on, threatening the writers or actors over the execution of the ship will add more harm than good. We are free to share how we feel about the relationship in forums but to overstep criticizing to hurting someone over such a subject is dangerously unhealthy.

Shipping is (again) meant to be fun but this “you’re either with us or against us” mentality keeps others away for joining the topic and it truly blows.

- #Me X Favorite Character -

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I ship my Hogwarts Mystery MC; Sadie mac Lir with the ever so lovely; Penny Haywood. However, there has been a recent incident that caused quite an uproar within this small community and that involves this picture.

[Attention to the bottom left, Penny and Talbott dancing.]

Just for the meme, P A I N...😥

Self insert fan fiction is as old as any traditional media can go. The first of them all ironically is <The Divine Comedy> by Dante Alighieri where he gets to watch his enemies burn and suffer in hell while also being able to go on a road trip with his favorite Senpai (senior) Virgil. (I’m paraphrasing here)

With fictional characters, there’s this idea where one can SIMP for them like as if they are real people which is a good start to understanding self-insert fanfics. For context, the word Simp/Simping means - the willingness to do anything/ everything to win over or please their idols or subject of affection.

However, a Resident Waifulogist once wisely said;

No matter if you want to hear it or not, these characters are NOT real. Because they can’t be real. Self-insert fanfiction works because its between the writer and the character. While it may sound very creepy to outsiders, it is purely just for fun wishful thinking. Regardless if its a lovely Waifu, (Insert my love for Misaka Mikoto here) or a hunky Husbando or a...Pony.

Your love for the character you like can only go as far.

You can praise the actor who portrayed the character, do fan art/fan fiction of them, buy merch related to them, declare them as your favorite in forums but you will never be able to HAVE them.

But back to Penny, what do I think? Well, if anyone knows the lore of the game, Penny was Talbott’s first friend. Given that Penny got him out of his shell. It would be very sensible to put them together in a Non-Romantic way. In fact, I like it! Just because they are dancing, doesn’t mean they are together. They are two magical folks who are good friends that can hug and dance together, there’s nothing wrong with that.

The problem with Self-inserts is that, while some are just writing or drawing for good fun and practice on skill. The obsessive types will go as far as to pay for an actual version of the character, or even fight with people that disagree with their taste making a bad name for the fanbase.

To justify by jabbing myself, while I have openly declared that I love Misaka Mikoto. A real life Tsundere will be a terrible idea. The fact that she is a walking taser gun with ten times the volts, a violent tendency and has the ability to kill with an actual railgun on her FINGERTIPS. Sounds incredibly dangerous.

- Everything Wrong with Shipping -

So, where do we go from here? While I know that this post is one big hunk of mess for anyone who had better things to do rather than argue about what shipping is then devolve into topics about Simping. I want to make it abundantly clear.

I have no issues with anyone who ships couples and Simps for a fictional character. I, for one am one of you.

What I have a big problem with is this toxic behavior of arguing and fighting over someone that doesn’t exist and taking things way too far. The culture of liking a fictional character or fictional ship is meant to be fun and meant to be enjoyable among the community. We can have disagreements and differences. That is completely fine, there is no need to get violent. That is also what makes it fun! Regardless of where and which fanbase one comes from, these toxic behaviors are found anywhere and it has to stop.

This post probably won’t reach far because I would offend a lot of people but I can put this to rest knowing that I’ve journaled down my thoughts on the matter and sleep in peace.

But onto you guys, what do you think about shipping culture? What else do you think is wrong with it?

Let me know...

Thanks for Reading

Lindsay and Taylor’s reactions to a Nuts & Dolts presentation is too adorable and I love Lindsay bringing up the firefly episode from Chibi. Though Lindsay did say she’s speaking as a fan/person not as someone doing the writing. Just so adorable, just like the ship. Too much sugar for a bit after 8am. I’d link the vid but not sure on if they person would want that and/or how all the crediting things with that goes; so meh.

I posted this in a repost but I feel like it’s important for people to see

I like RG a whole heck of a lot, but there is no need to go and attack other people. Ruby is so hecking shipable I don’t blame people for being upset because I get it. I’d be upset if I was a whiterose, nutsanddolts, or Lancaster shipper ( fun fact I’m all 3 because multi- shipping is fun) because there has been buildup between her and other characters that could be interpreted as romance depending on the viewer. You don’t have to call people names for enjoying interactions between two characters they love. Before this lovely little RG scene a lot of people saw us as clowns for shipping it, but just because other people said those things doesn’t mean it should be said back. When you fight anger with anger you just get... more fighting and bullying. Please just respect everyone and their ships, these are just fictional characters there is no need to be rude to anyone especially over shipping. (I’m not looking to fight with anyone, and if you felt as though I disrespected you that was not my intention).

Good morning everyone, @nuts-and-dolts-week day 3 prompt: Stargazing!

I was thinking they were on patrol and had set up a little campfire and while the area around them was beautiful (couldn't capture that unfortunately) they really only wanted to look at eachother and talk about what had happened while they were apart.
