#the point of the post was 'i dont think having the ship longingly gaze at each other counts as a well written ship if they dont ever talk'
Text
not to be a smug asshole but its kind of rich how if you say you dont like a thing on the internet everyone who likes that thing automatically assumes you just “don’t get it” and tries to explain to you why the thing is Good, Actually. like maybe i already understand why people like the thing. maybe i have reasons to not like the thing that YOU are refusing to entertain. maybe i used to like the thing because of the specific reasons that you’re writing essays to me about. but then i realized that the thing sucks shit and the reasons why people like it isn’t enough to make it good for me again. maybe my dislike of the thing isn’t because im a stupid idiot who couldn’t put two thoughts together to realize why the thing is good. and maybe i feel belittled and dare i say offended when 12 people condescendingly explain to me why it’s okay that i don’t like the thing, but also refuse to stop explaining the same 2 reasons why THEY like the thing, or even let me defend why i dislike the thing, until i agree with them that the thing is good. all because i dared to express mild disdain on the internet
#shut up pandora#i don't care if people like things i dislike and tell me so but some of yall act like proselytizing christians about it#a while ago i had someone write an essay on a post talking about why a ship i dont like is totally canon guys theyre totally in love#and the ship in questions has not had any conversations in 10 episodes which was why i disliked it#but the argument for it boiled down to 'why does this ship between two main characters HAVE to have any significant onscreen development'#'why cant we just build up this ship based on longing looks like the TJLC ppl. its impossible for you to think thats bad writing'#anyway we ended up dming and i tried to clarify that i dont think its well written to build up a relationship on 'subtle glances'#without having them actually interact with each other. at least not a heavily focused on endgame couple involving main characters#at the end of the very frustrating conversation where they just repeated the 'subtle hints' thing over and over again condescendingly#it turns out they thought i agreed to the conversation bc i wanted them to convince me to like the ship!#so they literally didn't listen to anything i said except to hashtag destroy my points with hashtag facts and hashtag logic#and like. you think i haven't looked at all the 'subtle hints' before this conversation? this is a popular ship and i want to like it!#but i looked at it and thought about it and decided i didn't like it! i even said so on the original post!#the point of the post was 'i dont think having the ship longingly gaze at each other counts as a well written ship if they dont ever talk'#and their 'rebuttal' was 'youre wrong it IS well written! why? well because they longingly gaze at each other'#anyway i was just feeling annoyed about that again#also that time an mlb fan sent me a wholeass wordpress essay on why mlb is Good Actually#after i explained i understand why people like it. i was a fan actually! i just both grew out of it and realized the writing is really bad#so bad in fact that the reasons i liked it werent enough to redeem the show for me and it keeps getting worse#anyway yes im vagueposting about people but messaging strangers to restart a months old argument is more deranged i think#i hope the people who condescendingly hop on a strangers posts to write them essays on why they Dont Get It Actually#uhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe stop that!

getting my friend who has never seen the witcher to rate various ships based on vibes alone
F- friend M - me
Up first - Geralt and Jaskier
F- its giving sun and moon- like big sunshine boy here (points at Jaskier) and big grumpy moon stinky man here (points at Geralt)
M - you think hes stinky??
F - yes.
M - why???
F - I sniffed him he is stinky
M- (laughing)
F - he needs a bath smelly boy
M - sunshine boy does bathe him
F - thats why they are married sunshine boy keeps smelly man clean
M - sick
F - I bet they’ve explored eachothers bodies
M- skudgsurlghsugkeu
F - I know a little bit based on your posts and I think they are really good friends for a long time so they probably boned at least a few times before romanticaly boning
M - romantic bonning is great but you ever have a pie (quoting a markiplier makes video)
F - (laughing)
Geralt and Yennefer
F - Why are her eyes purple?
M - she part elf
F - why would that make her eyes purple?
M - because genetics
F - Its cool she seems fruity
M - mmm understandable
F - its serving stars (points to Geralt) and night sky (points to Yen)
M - WAIT SHUT THE FUCK UP THATS SO CUTE
F - and like the sun is a star and his eyes are yellow and the silver hair is silvery stars, and then her hair is black like the nightitme and purple eyes could be like a pretty galaxy
M - YOU SHUT UP NOW THIS IS JUICY
F - he could also be the moon aswell as the stars. She is the night sky that craddles him, the stars and moon, and makes him feel safe. She also provides a good backdrop for him to be seen and heard and admired like he should be.
M - I’m going to shit myself.
F - I’m a fan of them
F - Bi wife energy
Yennefer and Jaskier

F - true
(long puase)
F - they are like buttercups and the wither rose
M - FROM MINECRAFT??
F - yeah
M - how??
F - yellow and black
M - fair enough
Triss and Geralt
F - This feels wrong
M - why?
F - dont like
M - dont like what?
F - I feel like its very unrequited, or its like a ‘parents thought they were cute as kids cause they were friends of the opposite gender and tried to push it, and maybe it worked at one point but it got really uncomfortable’ kinda thing.
M - thats very specific
F - I feel very specific about them.
Eskel and Geralt

F - gotta make sure the birds have something to gaze longingly at themselves in
M - (more lauging )
