Shipping is such a multilayered thing too.

You can ship characters for happily ever afters, sure, you can ship them for tragically-then-happily, you can ship two or three or four or more, you can ship endless combinations of personality types and relationship dynamics

but you can also ship characters under very specific circumstances, or for a certain period of their life but not for all of it, or only in a certain universe. You might say “I ship these characters” and what you mean is you think they are fascinating together and could have a story together. That story could be any kind of story. 

Sometimes it means you want them together for the rest of their lives. Sometimes it means something different than that.

I don’t know about you, but for me, “I ship it” means “There is a story in this ship and I am interested in that story.”

Thank you for articulating this. Yes. Exactly.

And sometimes that story’s a tragedy, or a black comedy.

It doesn’t have to be healthy or happy to be a good story.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

sometimes i think about how in 2012, when andrew garfield was asked which avenger peter would like most he said ‘idk but he’d hate tony stark, too arrogant, ethics are dubious, and peter’s a man of the people, peter’s the working class hero’

and how andrew got dropped from the franchise bc he refused to shut up and ‘bow down to homophobia’, and said multiple times that peter should be bi

and how in response to those things, marvel changed the contracts so all future incarnations of peter parker had to be caucasian and heterosexual. and then they made mcu spidey very much reliant on tony stark

which is a long winded way of saying that andrew garfield was the realest peter we ever had, and how angry it makes me the way that marvel absolutely shat on him and went out of their way to go against what he tried to fight for… and that there is a huge smugness in me that despite all of that, marvel couldn’t quash people’s love for andrew and they needed him and tobey for NWH, and that in the run up to mcu spidey 3, what i see trending every day on twitter is WHERE IS ANDREW GARFIELD and yk what it’s what he fucking deserves

you know how we all want Tom Hardy's Venom to be Andrew Garfield's Venom? I'm about 99% sure that this is what's gonna happen, because in the end credit scene when he's about to leave the bar, he actually dissappears, because the spell sent him HOME.

Me, my whole life: Andrew Garfield is the best movie Spidey, why does everyone hate him?

Everyone: shut up Valeria are you crazy? Tobey is best, Andrew is trash

Everyone now: omg Andrew hiiiii you deserve third movie!!!!💕🌸💖🌟💞💓🌺✨❣️💖🌹💘💞
