That link changed everything. Arthur and paisley...sits down. And I'm sorry that I'm spazzing all over your entry. I'm avoiding the last-day-of-work projects I need to get to.
you're right i should really stick up for my otp arthur/eames aka the ship that i consider to be the symbol of everything that is vapid and superficial in fandom
I mean, okay? We both know this ship embodies the quintessential two-white-guys-bantering-out-of-context-of-the-canon-they-came-from that could describe 98% of all Western slash fandom. But I also fucking love this fandom, and given that I love it I don't know why you guys routinely find it okay to come into posts like these and insult it? I'd never go into a post you or sam made and insult you when you were just enjoying yourself???
I just don't understand if you want me to laugh with you or apologize to you for offending you with my older-white-male ship, which is apparently more vapid and superficial than all the ships we've had that boiled down to "hot Asian boys," but okay.
asdjk;ldjkls well, i'm not mad or upset, it's just like the third or fourth time it's happened and i always either never say anything or awkwardly joke it away
really i should be directing this at Sam but i am a coward
i think "routinely" is a bit of a stretch given that i haven't thought about arthur/eames in at least six months and only responded as you did actually insult akakame then ask me why i wasn't sticking up for you
i don't have any ships that boil down to "hot asian boys"
no, neither do i, but Arthur/Eames doesn't boil down to vapid and insubstantial to me either. Just because they look like "hot asian boys" and "white men bantering" from a distance doesn't mean that's all they are.
and i didn't insult akame, I was just using it to point out that Sam wasn't exactly in the position of throwing stones!
you called akame "baseless" which is a) an insult and b) totally stupid given that your otp exchanges like five lines in a movie vs. like 14 years of weird history. that said i wasn't taking this that seriously til you totally flipped out on me, i just thought we were messing around.
I didn't call it anything, I didn't label it anything. Sam called my ship pathetic and baseless, I said, "excuse me?" and then you called it vapid and superficial. And nothing I did warranted that from either of you, regardless of whether you were taking it seriously before. It was actually pretty mean, especially if you think about the fact that if I had come to your LJ and said anything like that to you, whether I was joking or not, you'd have been like WTF at me.
