Negativity sucks,so have some positivity

Sometimes people say that too

But saying ship to people who don't know what it means (me) might confuse them

I knew what it meant. But it gets used extremely too often and to propose the most ridiculous couples that never should happen.

Couple would imply that the ship is canon. But more often than not, it is not.

Also, not trying to be rude, why should words not be used because someone doesn't understand them?

Brief explanation of shipping:
Two people or characters who you would like to see together are called a ship. (Ex: Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.)
Whatever is officially part of their story is called "canon". (Ex: Ginny and Harry get married.)
And a ship can be "sunk" with that canon. (Harry cannot get together with Hermione because he married Ginny.)
.
In conclusion, we are all pirates.

Someone says it. Finally

*sigh* My school blocks both AO3 and Wattpad, so I'm stuck on MissLiterati (which is okayish... though I really wanna go on AO3, cause my cousin says they have a lot of good fanfics)

AO3 has the best fanfics. Sure, there is some hella kinky shit, like any other fic site, but a good 90% of the writers are adults, and/or literate, so everything is pretty well written. And the betas work their asses off, so even if the story was shit, a beta reader fixed it up.
