*wakes up in cold sweat* 🌟 smitski 🌟

I can't believe that my first artwork of the year is a SmiskixMitski fanart lol. Also, still manifesting a Mitski concert here in the Philippines, Mitski pls I'm begging πŸ™

do you think, for a potato chip, being dipped in an onion-based condiment is like seeing an old friend for the first time in years, both of you fundamentally changed and soon destined to die but nonetheless still here in this moment?

Why would a potato and an onion be friends?

they grew up together! they're from the same neighborhood!! (underground)

"I want old fandom culture back, but proshippers are disgusting, don't bring them into this" a real life TikTok post that I saw btw.

YOU CANNOT HAVE OLD FANDOM CULTURE BACK WITHOUT PROSHIPPING.

what the fuck do people think "proshipping" means anyway

I keep seeing it referenced as some kind of badge of dishonor

it means

"in favor of shipping and the freedom to ship whatever"

that's it

no, it does not stand for "problematic shipping" which is a real thing I saw someone try to claim

it came about as a response to ANTI-shipping

as in people being weird and toxic about other people's ships

like, stop that

that's what it means

Bringing in what I said in the group chat: they wouldn't survive in the LiveJournal communities that raised me.

If you wanted a place for just your ship, you made your own fanfiction archive for it and you maintained and moderated it yourself. And most of these only existed because it made it easier to find fics for your OTP, not because the sight of other ships disgusted you.

Have an issue with something you see on a kink meme? Don't read through the comments on the kink meme or wait until the Delicious board is up and filter just the tags you want.

If someone brought up fic or shipping to an actor, a containment breach klaxon would go off and everyone would talk shit in the private LJ and Dreamwidth communities. You did not make ship wars the problem of the actors, show runners, directors, or writers. That was internet bullshit that stayed on the internet. If someone became aware of it on their own, fine, but that was exceedingly rare. You definitely didn't ask shipping questions to the actors if you were a "journalist."

You shipped what you shipped, you were into what you were into, you left people alone, and you did not wave any of it in the face of the actors.

So yeah, bring back the old fandom culture. Please. Let shippers and the actors have some goddamn peace.
