So this happened

[(Anonymous)]

Fan: Are any of the characters gay?
Author: Yeah, Alice and Bob are both gay.
Me who ships Alice/Bob: ...*quietly backs into a dark corner*

Re: So this happened

[(Anonymous)]

........to write more fanfiction of your ship? Yeah, I do that too!

Hey, it's Pride time. Be loud and proud, nonny!

Re: So this happened

I can't ship them now though that's like anti-pride :( I always headcanoned Bob as bi (I also ship him with Charlie) but if he *only* likes guys and Alice *only* likes girls then pride month definitely isn't the time to be shipping them together.

Re: So this happened

[dancingmouse]

Aaaaaand I read that as Alice and Bob being gay for each other. Whoops.

lmao, when I read this, I was reminded of the Ace Attorney kink meme. One of my favorite prompts was Miles Edgeworth and Adrian Andrews being gay but having straight sex with each other in a mutual arrangement as they both fantasized about their preferred lover (Edgeworth imagining Phoenix, Adrian imagining Franziska).

You're not hurting anyone by shipping them together. You're just doing your own thing and if that doesn't match up with canon that's totally OK. Some people will claim that you're "erasing gayness" by shipping them or whatever, but those people are fucking idiots because the characters are still gay in canon and nothing about you shipping them together is gonna change that. You do you.

Re: So this happened

Uh, no? It's still taking a marginalised, under-represented minority and erasing that part of their identity. If a character is canonically gay, writing het with them is erasure and it's fucking gross. Would you turn a POC white in fic?

Re: So this happened

[(Anonymous)]

... these things are totally different, though. There is literally no reason to turn a character who was "POC" from the get-go into a white person. And OP clearly shipped Alice and Bob together before Word of God said "they are gay" - they had no way of knowing. So, yeah. Fuck people who say it's wrong to ship them. Damn antis.

Psst...

IT'S FANFICTION.

You're not against it for any other reason than "I don't like it." And there's nothing wrong with that, you don't have to like it. But stop trying to pretend that your objection to it equals activism.

Re: So this happened

[(Anonymous)]

It's not anti-anything to ship them together. It's just shipping. You don't have to be as vocal about it this month, but you certainly don't have to stop liking what you like. If you want, you can focus on the Bob/Charlie ships right now.

On this theme....I just saw a fawn out my window, and so went quietly out my back door to see if i could get a picture, and it just slide under the fence from the neighbor's yard into mine, and walked right by me, not three feet away, across the corner of my back patio and on around my house to the other side and the little woods there. I did get pictures, omg, it was so soft and cute and wonderful and i wanted to pet it but of course did not. :D

Re: So this happened

[(Anonymous)]

Awww! That's awesome :)

Re: So this happened

[(Anonymous)]

Owww. Yeah, hate when Word of God makes my ship non-canon compliant too.

Re: So this happened

[(Anonymous)]

Ship away, anon. If it's not shown in canon that they're gay and someone tells you you can't ship them because Word of God said it, remind them of Dumbledore and pull out the old "writer just wanted brownie points and was too afraid to commit to it in canon" card.
