Yeah, mostly the same. I am rarely focus on OTP. I like the world, I want more world building to read. Fandoms do not deliver

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the same, used to be a big shipper and have become much more interested in genfic. I don't know why, I think I prefer exploring the settings at this time and focusing only on a romantic relationship feels limiting. I wonder if I'll get back into shipping someday?

[(Anonymous)]

I switch between both views. Sometimes all I care about is one character and want everything to be character based (sometimes pairing based), other times I just want world building and all of the characters interacting and telling stories within that wide world.

[(Anonymous)]

I would like to be like you! For some reason mind either becomes obsessed with one ship or I'm not interested in the fandom at all (even if I like the canon still). And I can't ship the people in the ship with other characters because it feels like cheating. Have always been jealous of people who can just write and read about a whole cast indiscriminately!

[(Anonymous)]

idk if it's age, hormones, or both, but I've gone from the OTPest person that only saw easy pairing switching in Saiyuki fandom to being entirely unable to even read my own old shipping fic where people make moony eyes and whisper sweet nothings. am I turning aromantic for some reason? I'm not sure I like it.

[(Anonymous)]

Love the image choice.

[(Anonymous)]

I love that this secret exudes wisdom and serenity that only comes with age. And combines it with porn.

[(Anonymous)]

There are tons of things I like where I don't participate in fandom. Most things really. But shipping is so easy to find a fandom for so on the "outside" it probably looks like all I do.

[(Anonymous)]

I still ship, but I had to back away from fandom myself after getting deep into it during COVID. Fans were arguing way too much about petty things, including shipping, and I'm just too busy and tired to really give that time or space in my life.

I could forgive the bad CGI, I could forgive the "we're at war!" but it's literally 15 dudes fighting, I could forgive the "we're a major sect!" but they shows maybe 30 people tops in the major sect. But WWX's flute playing? Completely kicked me out of the mood they were building. His fingers were going 50 miles an hour on that flute for a SUSTAINED NOTE. This shit drives me bonkers.

[(Anonymous)]

Can relate to the general sentiment. My friend and I were watching a movie that involves a watermill, and one, the director apparently did not care that the actors were constantly having to deal with thick, cold mud to walk between any building and any other building (even in early modern times, people did things to avoid that), but two, they treated the sacks of flour like any other heavy thing. Handling them with muddy hands, at one point I think even throwing one down in the squelching mud. The water alone would have ruined it. And a major plot point in the story was that there was famine in the land. The protagonist had been trying not to starve before he got a job at the mill. They work so hard to produce this fucking white powder. And ... yeah. Apparently no one on set saw a problem.

We would have been mad if we hadn't looked at each other and stared laughing, but if it was a thing that happened over and over in different movies, like your faked violing playing, I bet it would get really old, really fast.

Fellow violinist here, totally agree! I try to be forgiving when the actor is at least trying, because yeah being good at faking violin is something that's going to take more than just a few weeks with an acting coach. Sometimes though...they don't even try. The sound editing matching the visuals should be a given though, and yet it's apparently something quite difficult to do because so very very few movies/shows get even close to it. No finger/bow movements on rapid notes? Lots of finger/bow movements on sustained notes? Are you even trying here?

I have to say though that my all-time favorite musical nit-picking in movies/shows is historical music :} booooyyyy your clarinet is about seventy years too modern for your story's time period, your audio is of a modern orchestra when you clearly have an early music ensemble in the shots, did you even TRY for musical accuracy in a period movie about a historical composer?

I'm sorry but all I can see is "Cum your brain off and just have fun with it" and I was like "yeah, that's pretty bad writing." It took me several reads to realize my mistake.

This thing? It looks weird. More like a skooter than a bike.

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Transcript: I will never understand how this fandom's leading ship ended up being these two.
Phoenix Wright: The most hetero man who's ever hetero'd.
- Very much lusted after April May on first sight.
- Clearly turned on by the sight of Maya in a maid outfit.
- Canonically dated "Dollie" for 6 months in college, still carried feelings for her 11 years later.
- Extremely uncomfortable when either Jean Armstrong or Max Galactica flirted with him.
- Has notably failed to demonstrate attraction of any kind to other men.
Miles Edgeworth: The biggest autistic aroace vibes I have ever seen, personified.
- Has failed to demonstrate attraction of any kind to anyone, ever.
- Does Not Understand emotions in general or how to express them.
- Extremely Confused whenever anyone flirts with him, doesn't seem to even recognise it.
- Canonically does not understand romantic love, has stated he never wants to marry.
s!B I feel like this ship is so ubiquitous, pointing out how OOC it is for both of them would get me death threats. I already have to avoid the entire fandom to keep the ick out of sight...

Life's frustrations

[philstar22]

What things about life have been frustrating you lately?


I'm currently frustrated about the realities of the American working world that mean since I've used up all my sick days, I have to either suck it up and go to work with a sinus infection and feeling miserable on Monday or use one of my vacation days and cancel one of my planned long weekends away.
