There is nothing more bittersweet and heartbreaking than a character who is deeply in love with another but entirely convinced that despite their current romantic relationship (established or not) that they won’t get a happily ever after because they aren’t good enough and the person they love will realize that and leave them but they aren’t bitter or angered by this idea but calmly resigned. Like they love that person so much they’re okay with just being a placeholder for someone better, as long as they can stay by that person’s side despite believing one day they’ll be replaced.

just a question but

i literally cannot comprehend the people who act like shipping is some kind of crusade or moral obligation. like if you ask them why they ship something they say “oh it’s groundbreaking representation” or some shit instead of talking about how they like the way the characters interact.

obviously representation is important but nobody is going to give you a medal for only shipping wholesome healthy all-natural 100% organic gmo-free pure pairings, you’re allowed to just…have fun. sometimes you just want two characters to kiss. you’re not a bad person for not writing a thousand-page thesis mathematically proving that your otp will end oppression across the globe

hell, sometimes i ship characters i don’t want to kiss, but it occurs to me that if they did, it would be a truly entertaining disaster. 😀

i wonder what the shipping differences are between english speaking and japanese speaking fandoms for boku no hero academia/my hero academy

bc i know for kuroko no basuke, english speaking fandom was all over aomine/kagami and aomine/kise while japanese speaking fandom loved kuroko/kise

could someone who knows about japanese speaking fandom for bnha please tell me what, if any, differences in shipping there are between the two groups of fandom for bnha?

the most important thing about king/lionheart ships is that both people think they’re the lionheart

it’s super important that the ‘king’ thinks the ‘lionheart’ is the sun and moon that despite an external force subjugating one to the other the balance within the ship is equal because the force of love is so unfathomably torrential this is just. it’s important. alexander lay on hephaestions bed for three days.(belinsky)

2day my linguistics professor asked people to name some ships bc she was talking about morphology & how ship names were an example of blending and the room of 100+ people was completely silent bc who wants to expose themselves?? until this one person was like “umm johnlock” and i heard someone behind me go “oh my god……. i hate this”

Your linguistics professor is a coward if they didn’t lead with a personal low to warm up the room. Start with snupin and work up from there
