Another Part Is That I Hate Society's Urge To Assume That A Man And A Woman Cannot Just Be Platonic Friends - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
there are ships that I have that I’m like “I specifically want to see these two be romantically linked” and then I have ships where I’m like “It’s not so much that I want their relationship to be romantic over platonic as much as it is I abhor the thought of some Love Interest coming along and changing their dynamic, and it seems them being taken by each other would solve that.” I call it defensive shipping, and I think it should be accepted into the general use lexicon.
Example: Do you actually want Holmes and Watson to be together like that, or are you just shipping defensively because they are built to be an inseparable pair, and seeing Watson always end up marrying a woman and moving out of Baker Street makes you big sad?

shipping thoughts
and sometimes it can be both at the same time
maybe not in the same fic
so many fics just seem to ignore meowth
if the fic isn't explicitly about him
especially rocketshipping fics that reduce him to matchmaker or third wheel
this could be part of the reason why i write blueshipping
in addition to “it makes my brain go brrr” and monsterfucking interests
another part is that i hate society's urge to assume that a man and a woman cannot just be platonic friends
but that's a post for a different time
