Quotes / Die for Our Ship

Go To

She's with the main character. People hate her just because she's with the main character.

Akito: Uh, what's wrong with Yurika?
Megumi: Oh, it's nothing big, she's just been dumbed down into a vegetable barely capable of breathing on her own to facilitate us hooking up. Pretty standard fanfiction procedure, actually.
Amelia, Relena, Naru & Ayeka: Tell us about it!

"If you make a confession on Naruto's behalf, then I murder you. Hinata got here first, and that still needs to be resolved."
— Translation notes on Chapter 457 of Naruto.

The nice, calm, and friendly Lacus Clyne; a symbol of peace and love. Practiced smile, monotonous voice, and uncompromising pacifism be damned! She is annoyingly perfect, unrealistic, boring, and seemingly unaffected by the harsh events surrounding her; the very opposite of the passionate, albeit unstable, and fiery tempered Fllay."

"And on a side note, I don't need to get those hateful tweets. Oh, these are like, "STAY AWAY FROM BRITTANY!"" (crowd laughs) "I've been getting them for a while now, but whoo, lately? Like - I get it, but I'm not Artie!" (more laughs) "Hateful, hateful. I'm like, "I'm gonna block you!"...I didn't block them. I only block people that spam me."

Now, to cover the "ships" that I'm completely against. There's a LOT of these, so I'm not going to list them by name — I'll just lump them into general categories to save time and space.
(...)
* Anything that involves the pairing of a character I like with a character I hate.
Cori Falls, on one of her rant pages

Even if she (Asami) ends up being totally harmless, I'll still hate her. Get. Away. From. Mako.
Messageboard user on the subject of whether Asami of The Legend of Korra is The Mole. One can only imagine how this poster feels in light of the Grand Finale — after all, Asami did end up staying away from Mako... only to hook up with Korra instead.

If you start to "ship" two characters, it's not a good idea to place importance on whether the author/rest of the fandom does or not.
Frankly, the only person a ship should matter to is you. Don't get mad at other people/the author if they don't adhere to your own feelings.
Shipping wars are the dumbest shit ever because people forget that the show isn't being written FOR THEM exclusively.
Like, fucking Tolkien didn't write Sam and Frodo as a gay couple. Does that mean they couldn't be? No. Does that mean they HAVE to be? No.
It's meaningful to you and that's what counts. If *you* were the only person in the world that felt that feeling — it would still matter.

Tumblr: Every hour that passes and my ship isn't canon, I kill a hostage.
Online joke

It is not enough that my ship sails, all other ships must burn.
— Fanfic author God Emperor Penguin

Groupie 1: So they say, he saved her life.
All Three: We have a problem with heeeeer!
Before you guys go flaming me on how I'm such a bitch, save it; I don't freaking care about how much you love Julie or how she and Ben should be together for ever. I don't give a rat's ass and I will ignore you if you choose not to take my advice and kindly take you[sic] hate elsewhere. For those of you who don't know, I'm on Colorguard and it has corrupted all of my fanart because I love it so much, so Ben is spinning a sabre which he throws through Julie's head (smiley emoji)
This fan comic

Ash: [...]I doubt Serena would lead to my suicide a decade from now, considering she is one of the nicest people who traveled with me.
Misty: She is? Then why did Mew make her out to be a jerk to you?
Ash: Not sure, maybe because she and the other legendaries want us to be together so badly.
