My opinion on why people get so hot and bothered when people oppose their ships.

@NoirMutton23 I love it when people combine their love a book/movie/show with their own creativity! So I'm pro shipping. I ship fandoms and shipping LOL. And, gosh, thank you!

Personally, I think shipping is healthy, and should be a part of every fandom. Though, as a writer, I hope that some day someone will inadvertently go against my grain and come up with some crack pairing of sorts.

On another note, you deserve ALL the subs. You've got mine.

@dftbageff hahah. Everyone has TFiOS on their minds! Especially me since mine hasn't arrived yet :(

LOL thank you! Leave it up to me to psycho analyze the internet. Also, hello! I approve of your username!

When I first saw the title for some reason I thought you were going to tell some story about the shipping of tfios. Haha dunno why.

Anyway, nice job delving into and analyzing the tumblr psyche. ;) (by the way, this is the same person from the go1711 account, I finally decided to get my own account rather than share one with my sister)

@LightsiderVlogs Hmm, I think the thing about fanfiction is that the readers become the writers and are therefore allowed to ignore anything said by the author if they want to LOL. But I can understand why that frustrates you! It's sort of the same kind of frustration I was talking about in the video.

I just hate it when people break up pairings the author HAS specified in order to justify their own pairings. Although this is generally only a problem in fan-fiction. Am I even making any sense?
