Guys, what does shipping mean, in this context? I'm assuming it's something terrible or stupid.

Or both.

I know I shouldn't ask, because my life is better for not knowing, but I can't help it.

It's a term that refers to which characters you want to see end up in a relationSHIP. Like "Oh, Archie and Betty are totally the better couple" is in this case shipping.

The vast majority of people who use the term are teenagers. While it can usually end up being sexually charged, "shipping" is not explicitly sexual and could refer to more or less "chaste" romances too. As I said, it is usually employed and taken seriously by teenagers, girls mostly, and very very very sad adult women.

EDIT: A lot of drama and television revolves around people's interest in "shipping" because "will they get together?" has proven to be the cornerstone for a massive chunk of drama for a large portion of the population since the dawn of time.

So basically Tumblr is taking a show that has several kids as main characters and is turning it into a sex fantasy of theirs.

Here's a protip: actively avoid anything involving the Supernatural fandom or that includes the word "Omegaverse" anywhere.

Is it just me or is there something a little creepy about the idea of child stuntmen (stuntpersons?)? It strikes me as uncomfortably like having child soldiers or something, although intellectually I can see having them more like athletes with training that the actual child actors don't have, like acrobatics and such.

They are probably just stand-ins for reshoots.

This is the stunt double for Mike apparently. Unfortunately it's just a short woman, and not poor orphan child forced to risk his life. Sad really.

Shut up about your ships and dumb crossover poo poo the only one that would be any good is one with MGSV where Snake fultons all the children and teaches them how to murder Government Officials in the cold war while Quiet shakes her titties for Hopper AND Joyce.
