Now they say "don't yuck someone else's yum". Same concept though
My Kink Is Proper Application of Title Case Rules, Stupid As They Are
What the fuck is "ship"?
When people put two (or more) characters together romantically/sexually in a relationship. Example being Hermione and harry in harry potter. Some "fandoms" can get real insufferable about "ships"

Smart man
Oh, so that's what it is. I was getting really confused because I only know shipping as sending packages and stuff and was wondering (besides environmental effects) what's wrong with it.
"relation-ship"
I never questioned the origin. I feel dumb for not realizing that
It’s when you pay a courier to move things from one place to another. I’m thinking OP likes a major courier like FedEx or UPS and is tired of getting flak for it.
Well when you compare them to Amazon or Hermes, can you blame me?
I thought they meant everything that exists has been shipped as in delivered somewhere and was fairly confused because drugs were the only thing I could think of that someone may be surprised have been delivered by an actual shipping company
They even ship entire ships using larger ships.
Well that's just confusing as all get out.
When I was younger, I was told the difference between a boat and a ship was that "a ship can carry a boat, but a boat can't carry a ship"
So what am I supposed to call a ship that can carry not one ship but three ships?
A relation-ship.
Allright, I'll get my coat.
When you were young And your heart was an open book You used to say, "ship and let live" (You know you did You know you did You know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we're livin' Makes you give in and cry
Say ship and let die!
What does it matter to ya
When you got a pair to ship you gotta ship it well
Just don't give the other fella helllll
What does AU stand for? (Rule 64)
Alternate universe?
Yes.
AU -- a world where everything has changed. You get "Coffee Shop AUs" where the characters meet in a coffee shop (you could get that from the title), "High School AUs" where (for example) Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Neville all go to a non-magical high school, along with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle, "Pirate AUs" where the characters are all pirates.......... you get the idea, right?
This is slightly different from AT -- alternate timeline, where the world is the same but the timeline has changed. Hitler might have won WWII, or Grindelwald might have conquered Europe, or The Romanians might not have been overthrown by The Volturi, or Anne Shirley might have been adopted by The Barrys instead of The Cuthberts.............
A lot of people use AU and AT interchangeably (I am one of them) but they are supposed to have very specific meanings.
I thought that meant there is an AU version of everything; like the Ford Falcon has the AU Falcon, there is an AU version of everything and that this was a very Aussie specific internet rule.
Shipping may be stupid, but at least it's mostly harmless. People do plenty of stupid shit that hurts people every day and I don't have the spoons to waste calling out harmless stupid shit.
Well, technically mostly harmless, but in the event of live action characters being shipped, and it spilling over to the actors (since a lot of people think actor = character for some stupid reason) it can be incredibly harmful. Same thing for streamers for instance. People collab together quite often, and the fans start "asking questions". No matter how many times a streamer says "no, we are just friends", people will get weird. Then imagine being a different streamer wanting to collab and seeing all of this.
Put all the rules in place.
They were made for a reason.
Ohh so my Spy x Family ship is ok now?
please do not the child
