bit of a rant bellow just rambly thoughts

been feeling a type of way when browsing character's tags for a while bc its like.... uhmmmm i feel like a hypocrite bc omg i love ships soooo much i love shipping and ships and talking about them & thinking about them but also the way fandom tends to reduce characters to just... ship components is so icky and annoying to me like... maybe its actually not good if a character's tag is just filled to the brim with ship content yknow what i mean like. .. if ur post. isnt bringing much. for the individual. maybe just tag it as ship? idk. just a thought . i would ask if im being nit-picky but no i dont think i am. its kinda shitty to look for posts about a single character & get bombarded with only one aspect of them yknow what i mean?.... i am really not trying to diss nobody nor shipping like i said i really Really love shipping and ships & i think/post about them majorly but my point stands even with shipping in mind. like who would be invested in an amorphous smash of unrecognizably waterdown characters? it'd be like mixing wet cardboard and glue instead of taking those same building blocks and making a dairogram of... whatever you want with your tools, yknow what i mean? like..give me complexity or give me death. give me fleshed out alive and breathing characters or give me death. their union ends up meaning that much more bro. their stories.... met together and intertwined. the flavor ! the love ! wonderful. its why i love shipping so much. BUT ANYWAY sorry like i said. this is not a diss. just an observation and food for thought. respect characters' personalities please !!! do right by them !!! dont see them as an acessory thats so boring. and so annoying to browse jfc
