I'm courting being unfollowed and blocked, I know, but you know what, it is stupid to bluster about shipping a fictional pairing harder now and fuck that old man (creator of the show in question) for trying to throw a wrench in MY ship. Like, does it make you feel tough to say that? Because it actually makes you look insane.
The only person or thing that stops you from shipping ANY pairing you want is your own self.
Period.
Who cares what anyone else thinks or says? Who cares what the creator says?
You don't have to listen!
Imma have to start a whole new account in order to be able to reblog new things lmao.
ah yes. as we all know, a fictional character can only have one (1) serious relationship in their entire life
Guin, they're not even canon. What are these people even on about? And I say that as a rabid shipper of said pairing.
Do they think they're sticking it to the man saying this shit? It's so DUMB.
I don't have all the deets because I haven't watched yet, but I have my suspicions
Oh, these are the Jyn x Cassian shippers being weird af.
Yeah I figured
I've blocked almost my entire fandom at this point. They're so WEIRD.
Your ship exists in your heeeaaaadddsss it is not canon oh my GOD shut up.
Nice that Jyn has entered "the only acceptable female character" phase
And by nice I mean sigh.
Imagine my chagrin being a multishipper. That man has chemistry with literally EVERYONE what do you want me to do not notice it?
lmao
right? give me cassian/jyn and cassian/bodhi and cassian/bix and cassian/luke and cassian/leia and cassian/din and
EXACTLY.
giving him 2-3 serious personfriends in the course of his short life is not, like, turning him into a slut or somethin
You'd be surprised. He's only allowed one, apparently.
Which, CANONICALLY, they DID NOT HAVE THE TIME. I pull that quote from the novel that they hold in such high esteem.
Ugh, yeah, that too.
Where's the vitriol for the fact that she had a canon boyfriend in her novel? I don't see it ..
it's a prequel. literally nothing has changed.
And it's Star Wars, you can pick and choose what you want as your own personal headcanon because uh it changes all the time.
Also that
Gettin pretty tired of "Cassian is ruined now because he has more than two character notes"
My God, the amount of 'that's not my Cassian' that I've seen ...
Which. Okay? You are valid? A lot of y'all's Cassians aren't my Cassian, either
Same.
and a lot of your Jyns ain't my Jyn
The show was never going to be 100% what they wanted it to be. Ever. I'm sorry they're so shocked at that realization.
the more flak I hear, the more I'm convinced that they're just mad he's a real person now and not a cardboard pin-up hero
While I agree that the ending was kinda dumb, I also didn't hate it. It makes sense given the context of what it was and especially calling back to Luthen's sunrise speech in s1.
That's pretty much it.
again I haven't seen it, but like. prequel
My main gripe was that the time skips didn't make sense when paired with the movie, but whatever. Small gripe. I don't have to accept that and I can say that no, that time was much longer.
I don't love all the beats from s1 either but I'm not gonna throw all my toys out the pram
hahaha yeah SW timelines make no sense, ever
But apparently that negates all the good in the show, and there was a lot.
Because the movie didn't have any plot holes.
Or the fact that they've made him unrecognizable which ... okay? Dunno what you're talking about.
I mean I love it unconditionally but.
It definitely had it's own issues.
But they blame Tony Gilroy full stop for those.
Riiiiiiiiiight
Because Gilroy was definitely the main and only driver there
Gotta make someone your scapegoat so why not him.
He's an older white man so he's racist and sexist and that's why we hate the show.
I do think he has some weird takes, but like. Who does not.
This is true.
I just wish people could be normal about things.
And we definitely don't watch any other shows run by racist sexist old white men.
Not one.
No, never. All media must be 100% unproblematic.
it is UNPOSSIBLE to critique a thing unless you are condemning it wholesale.
Some of them didn't watch a single episode so I do not know what they're basing their conclusions on.
groupthink
Just pulling shit out of thin air and calling it fact.
the way fandom likes to grab a take and rehash it endlessly until it's turned into some stupid-ass fanon...
I'm watching Murderbot right now and hooboy
I am not familiar enough to know it well yet but I've seen some takes on the ol' Tumblr that made me go uh what.
And again, I don't love all the decisions they made, but like. It's not hard to say "I disagree with this decision specifically"
You would think more people could understand that.
not me reading a fanfic that's specifically s1 only compliant and STILL running into spoilerific bitching about s2 in the comments
a) I don't fucking care and b) it hasn't been out that long
Yeeeeaaaahhhhh gotta point out what you hate instead of enjoying something that has nothing to do with it.
AND you gotta piss in the pool in case anyone else tries to form their own opinion in their own time
Of course. Because if you disagree with the hivemind, you're wrong.
Also I guess we've never heard of AUs
Never heard of her.
this is why, although I ship many things, I flinch whenever encountering self-identified "shippers" in the wild
it's a learned response, kids! maybe try restraining your friends from being aggressive lunatics a little more!
I'm just tryin' to like what I like. It shouldn't be as difficult as this.
or, you know, just block them the second they contradict you. that works too I guess.
(I am expressly not including you in this. just to be clear 
)
)
Haha, no worries. I block when people are stupid not because they have a differing opinion.
exactly
astonishingly, these things do not correspond 1:1
someone alert tumblr
Man, it's gonna feel like I'm in The Birds the next time I get on the R1 discord servers I'm in. I'll be the only outlier.
No sudden movements.
might be time for a new R1 discord
I have one, but it's kind of been coopted by cassian/k truthers
I rarely play in them, anyway, with the social anxiety + how cliquey they are.
But if I find one that's not as weird as Tumblr currently is, I'd give it a go.
I could deal with the clique but the casual unexamined misogyny gets me down. n.n
Which is why I'm contemplating making a replacement
Totally understandable. If you do, I'll certainly join and be normal. 
hopefully I will regain some semblance of a brain soon
Oh, same. I am very tired and have no drive to do much of anything.
3 unfollowers so far! Let's see who else I can offend with my (correct) opinion.
LMAO one of the popular artists posted in response to my post saying that she wanted to be really mean to Andor stans today but she wouldn't.
Like. You're in your 30's? Please grow up? It's fake and in space? Also I am not a 'stan'? I just liked the show for the most part?
Not a good look to be a bully about FICTION. Also not a good look for all the people that liked and reblogged to enable her.
But what do I know?
