Shipping is literally "we like romance stories, we like these two characters, wouldn't they be cute together?"

There's nothing really creepy or weird about it and I don't get why it's shat on all the time but it can be sort of tiring to listen to when you don't care one way or the other, and people get intense about it for some godawful reason. the real reason is because it, like fanfiction, has a reputation for being made for and by teenage girls

That being said, Lapis and Peridot living as two gay art aunts in the barn is very good.

It's because people attack other people for not agreeing with their double fictional relationships. (not real relationship on a not real cartoon)

Shippers are trash.

Also when did this become the Homestuck thread :v:

:( I won't attack you, I promise

Oh gently caress off. It has nothing to do with the fact it's often poorly done, people get really annoyingly into it and really it just a while bunch of wish fulfillment over anything to do with the characters or the series. People don't like it because it's girly. Us, the people in SU thread, just don't like things associated with women.

Nah, that's all there too, of course. Please don't get aggressive over my theory that teenage girls write badly and get really annoyingly into things.

How are teenage girls different from goons in that sense?

Social life, and the fact they're actually making something?

Fair enough. Just in the original post I was quoting it was put like "I don't see anything wrong with shipping and people that don't like it just hate it because girls like it" and that type of poo poo just rubs me the wrong way. There are so many reasons to be put off by shipping and sure there are also really dumb reasons to be put off by shipping but just don't assumptions especially when the group your talking about it in the thread. I realize I too just sort of discounted other points of view on it, which was also pretty dumb.

I phrased it pretty poorly, yeah.

I actually like how ambiguous that final shot of rose is. Is she disappointed with him? Angry? Is Steven upset that he's not living up to her, or is he frightened, because of what she did to pink diamond? I feel like a case could be made for all of those.

Connie's anxiety + Steven's traumatic experiences = :smith:
