"The less you worry about what other people ship the happier you will"— believe me, Im trying 😭
For the most part— yes. I get it. Let people ship what they enjoy. But if the ship is illegal then I'm gonna be scared.
And then someone in the comments of the video said "well murder is illegal, those that mean we should ban horror/slasher movies" but the killer is BAD. I don't sit down and watch a slasher to romanticize it or call it cute. Like— I can't even explain it but I shouldn't have to because there's a difference between romanizing an illegal ship and a slasher movie.
Like most movies with a minor/adult pairing, you watch it knowing it's creepy and scary and you're not romanticizing it and if you are you're a creep.
Also like the person in the video says this as if I don't know I'd be happier not worrying about it. Like trust me girl I know I'm miserable and I don't know what is wrong with me but I'm like this with a lot of things not just ships. I really wish I wasn't
Like I get the world will always revolve around romance. I get fandoms will always revolve around romance. And I know I would be happier if I just forgot about it and move on but I can't stop asking "why"
Why do fandoms have to revolve around romance and why isn't friendship good enough. Sure people say it's sweet and it gets love every now and then but it's nothing compared to what they give romance. And even if there's a good beautiful platonic friendship, most people will ship them romantically and it'll be so much harder to find platonic fan made things of them and that's why I can't let it go. They out number us a trillion to one and I know if I just stopped caring I'd be happier but I can't stop caring.
I want to say it's not that I want people to stop shipping everyone romantically all the time but I'm not even sure if that's true. I don't want to be that person, its not like I'm trying to say what they can or can't do but it's just- platonic love will never be as important in fandoms.
What's gonna become of the stuff I write? Most of it won't have romance. For the majority of the stuff I already have briefly planned— I don't really care if they make stuff up but with No Regrets- sure there's canon ships, only one of which is healthy, but if they completely overlook the platonic love I may never publish a book again. I was gonna say write but, I think it's impossible to take that away.
So yeah just kinda having a breakdown but it's okay I'll be okay. Hope you all have an amazing day/night, take care 💚💜
