ship meme: is there a ship that you used to ship, but don’t anymore?
SEND
My mind is disgusting today, but I think I can remember a single ship that my soul no longer fascinates so much as to scream in excitement as a teenager who is fascinated to see BTS.
Whatever, I'm trying to be funny but I can't.
Now, it's really not that I hate it now or that I don't like them anymore, it's just that thinking about it well, I don't think it was as PERFECT as I thought.
Yes, I'm talking about Wolfox.
I admit that before entering the fandom completely, watching the games, the lore, the hcs, theories and so on, uh, it was one of those stupid people who saw wolfox drawings and said "oh wow, this is sexy!". You know, those drawings where the fandom characterizes Fox as a damn submissive effeminate who wants Wolf's penis, or just being a needy of Wolf, and Wolf is characterized as a dominant man (and at some point, he is dominant in canon) but that is too "protective" with Fox and others. Uh, I shouldn't talk too much, you know what drawings I'm talking about.
Well, after entering the fandom and watching the games, I still thought the couple was perfect shit, with Wolf now being Mr. Fox's protector and mentor, a complete tsundere with him or with Fox being a crybaby that Krystal - as evil bitch as I saw her in Command - abandoned him for Panther, and now the fox needs another person to be happy. I was really one of those Wolfox fans who liked to read those fanfics based after Command and see Fox falling in love with Wolf, and Wolf with him, and being super sweet between the two in a very OOC way that right now I think gives me disgust just thinking about it. Or, and let's not forget that you had to add Krystal suffers with Panther or crap like that, fanfics written to be Yaoi, I guess.
Anyway, you know, I was one of those typical fangirls who believed that the two are for each other even if they are two pieces of shit between them (example: That Wolf in the Japanese version. The original SF 64 version shouts at Fox "You will see your father in hell" or Fox killing all his men in Assault when they were looking for Pigma in Sargasso), also ignoring that Wolf has something against James, you know, the most important person for Fox, and even so Fox wants to marry this bastard who even betrayed him in Command.
Yada Yada, I'm talking too much and I haven't gotten to answer at all.
After talking with several people about what they think about Wolfox, seeing the games and the lore again, in addition to seeing how the fandom projects these two as a couple ... especially in the most toxic way possible.
Yes, I realized that it is not my biggest OTP now.
But again: I do not hate this couple now, in fact I still like certain ideas that I would like to work on both, in addition to several beautiful drawings that fans have made of both and other fanfics. I just don't feel the same level of fanaticism as I felt before.
I think I like the couple now, like Pigdross, in a more angst sense. I mean, clearly Wolf is not evil like Andross or Pigma, he does his job as a mercernary for 64 / zero, but I can't see this man trying to fall in love with his most important rival, Fox Mccloud, after all the shit they dealt in All the games that appeared. And the same is true for Fox, who probably does not have a personal hatred for Wolf, and who may feel attracted to this lupine man or be fascinated by his personal safety and good leadership, but he knows that it is impossible to forget everything that happened in the war and about his father.
I imagine now both having a guilty attraction between them, but for reasons of life, they are very sure that they cannot be happy together. So, if they get to have a loving relationship, it would be private and guilty.
also: Wolf has Leon, and Fox has ... Falco, krystal or Fara. I don't know, Fox is a damn polyamorous bisexual disaster in my version of the character (please ignore me).
Maybe my idea changes in the future, but you already understand me completely. It is a couple that I like, but now not enough to call it OTP.
(But yes, I like A fox in space Wolfox too much and that does make me scream a lot, I need more of them plz).
Oh, and don't believe that I will be fascinated by the totally toxic and dark side of the couple. If you have a fetish with that, it's up to you, but don't bother the other true fans of the couple, please. Your muscular, dominant-toxic wolf and super effeminate submissive Fox can go to hell.
Star fox fandom aside.
If I have another ship that I don't like too much now, it would be Sapphire x Ruby in Steven Universe. I do not hate the couple, but heck that these two are super MELLOOOOW between them, and I understand that this is their joke, but come on, I really get too far away just to see them so obsessed and sweet between them.
That chapter of volleyball made me really want Steven to shout at them not to be so obsessed with each other because they would totally ruin the plan ( and oh, they fucking made it ).
Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe it's because I don't like Ruby (God, don't give her a song again. Her voice is horrible).
