The perception of shipping

[sgmajorshipper]

*For the purpose of this discussion, someone who enjoys any kind of relationship, het, slash, OT3, OT4, whatever, is a shipper, since shipping comes from (relation)shipping, a non-gender-defined term
Also, for this discussion, we'll ignore my reasons/motivation for slashing vs het shippingSo, I was thinking earlier about how people define shipping

Huh. I never really thought of it this way. I call myself a multishipper because I basically read everything, but when it comes down to more obscure pairings, I wouldn't say that I actively ship them? I feel that it has more to do with "couple status" than "nom hot sex" because everyone falls into the last XD

I was actually trying to figure it my definition of an OTP, because as much as I hardcore ship Dean/Cas, Sam and Dean are canon SOULMATES. Does that top an epic romance? Can I call Sam/Dean, in whatever form, a comin OTP because they will be together forever, and Dean/Cas is just a personal one? Idk.

[sgmajorshipper]

True. I classify myself as a multishipper above everything else. I'll read anything, pretty much. I can see anything. I just don't know why I'm that way in SPN, because 99% of the time, regardless of pairing, I don't read for teh pr0nz. And, SPN is the only fandom I slash in.

Exactly! I was thinking of maybe how "canon" I see a pairing being how I ship them, and yet, I consider Sam/Dean and Dean/Cas on similar footing when it comes to canon(i.e. neither is ever going to be out-and-out canon, and yet Sam and Dean ARE soulmates, and Dean and Cas DO have a profound bond and buckets of subtext).
See! Now I've confused everyone else too. Score?

Goddamn meta. *shakes fist and goes back to the pr0nz*. Life is so much simpler without thinking :D. Though it is fun. Just not this late at night... XD

[sgmajorshipper]

LOL. But...meta! I love meta! Meta and me are OTP!!1!!!eleventy1! Seriously, though I totally get you. I've broken my brain over meta before.
It seems like I only produce anything of any quality late at night when I literally cannot think *facepalm*

[lunasky3]

Lol, I was debating- respond to this post, or go to sleep?

Guess which won? XD

[sgmajorshipper]

I CANNOT go to bed with unreplied to comments in my inbox. CANNOT.

I wonder if you have the same problem.

trololololol

[lunasky3]

They can be unreplied, but I need to know that there's not another one coming. I have to at least READ them before I get to sleep

So. Many. Late. Night. Posts. D:

[sgmajorshipper]

Speaking of late night, I SHOULD be asleep right now. *facepalm*
I was all "yeah, I'll post this meta and then go to bed!"
Famous last words.

Seriously, though, I'll leave you alone now XD

[lunasky3]

LAST WORD :D *pokes*

And haha, np. I'm texting with the girl I mentioned before, so not going to sleep any time soon... not freaking ouuuuttttt

[sgmajorshipper]

[ohmiya_sg]

Oh god, you listen to Weird Al? XD

[sgmajorshipper]

LOL Yeah. I listen to anything. And when I say anything...I mean anything. Also, White and Nerdy is my brother's theme song.

[ohmiya_sg]

I looooove Weird Al.♥

[sgmajorshipper]

He's so good at making fun of things, I gotta respect/enjoy that. My favorite of his is still Amish Paradise(though The Saga Begins has been played a lot around here).

[ohmiya_sg]

I could never pick a favorite. XD Bohemian Polka? Maybe something off Bad Hair Day, IDK.
