hey cmon guys dont feel BAD for shipping something

its totally cool and awesome to like two characters relationship with each other, the only thing thats an issue here is that often times someone might get caught up with the ROMANCE part of it and pretty much ignore all other aspects of the relationship, and that just gets a little tiring for the mods because it seems like thats all the fandom cares about.

no ones accusing you personally about only shipping for the romance or only caring about the characters because its a popular ship. its just a little bit important to remember that, yes while it may be exciting when two characters kiss or whatever, there is wayyyy more to the story beyond that moment of physical intimacy. and in the midst of “shipping feels” it might look like that’s all anyone cares about, when the mods have put so much time and effort building up a story around their characters its just a bit… disheartening, when you see everyone only reacting about how these two characters must be “sooo in love” with each other.
