The Nine Circles of Shipper Hell

shedoesnotcomprehend

1. limbo – the canon-shippers
Those who ship the actual pairings as they appear in canon. Barely even belong in Shipper Hell at all. Condemned to a miserable dependence on a fickle deity. Featuring: Buffy/Angel; Peeta/Katniss; Edward/Bella.

2. lust – the crack-shippers
Okay, so they ship it, but do they ship it? The mildest ring of shipper hell, for those people who will ship anything on a dare. Condemned to eternal mockery, but let’s be real, that’s not actually a punishment for these guys. Featuring: Bella/Tyler’s Van; Bilbo/Smaug; Hogwarts/Giant Squid.

3. gluttony – the ultra-common-shippers
You know the one ship. It’s the one that’s in every. single. fic. Even if it’s not the focus, it gets thrown in in the background. Condemned to have their fanart shown to the actors on chat shows. Featuring: Dean/Castiel; John/Sherlock; Clint/Coulson.

4. greed – the multi-shippers
They write your favorite pairing, but then when you go to binge on their work it turns out they write EVERYTHING ELSE TOO and OH MY GOD NOT THAT PAIR. Need to pick one OTP like the rest of us. Condemned to be eternally hated by BOTH sides of every shipping war. Featuring: Harry/Ron AND Harry/Luna AND Draco/Ginny.

5. anger – the trash-shippers
Trash and they know it. Sometimes it’s trash/cinnamon roll, sometimes it’s trash/trash, but it’s always trash. Condemned to…IDK, be trash? These guys are pretty up front about it. Featuring: Bucky/Pierce; Sauron/Morgoth; Hux/Kylo.

6. heresy – the rare-pair-shippers
Not to be confused with the crack-shippers. These guys mean it. Oh god do they mean it. They have treatises about Anonymous Pilot #17/That One Guy From The Novelization. Condemned to three fics on AO3, two of which are mistags. Featuring: Rosie Cotton/Erestor; Deadpool/Sif; Ianto/Rory Williams.

7. violence – the NOTP-shippers
That One Ship. The one that inspires Hatred and Outrage in the hearts of All True Believers. They ship it. They are Those People. Condemned to have their ship tags full of indignant posts about BAD EXAMPLES FOR TEENAGE GIRLS. Featuring: Hux/Rey; Dean/Amara; Willow/Kennedy.

8. fraud – the incest-shippers
Sure, we all understand they know it’s wrong in real life. We still edge away nervously. They can just go … do their thing … over there. Condemned to awkward questions about whether they have any siblings, forever. Featuring: Sam/Dean; Thor/Loki; Draco/Lucius.

9. treachery – the ship-burners
The one circle we can all agree to hate. These are the guys who shoot down one ship so they can put their own in. They’re the ones who demonize female characters so they can ship their favorite gays. Not cool, guys. Condemned to MANY ANGRY REVIEWS. Featuring: Gabriel/Sam/Jess; Clint/Thor/Jane; Harry/Ron/Hermione.

Tag yourself I’m greed

transformativeworks

I don’t want to suggest that shipping will send you to hell or that there’s anything wrong with enjoying a ship, of course. This post is just really clever. And I’m totally gluttony.

also greed i also write so rarely now that i'm also that person who wrote one fic for their otp and then left the fandom forever sorry??? not really

Homecoming

citationneeded

High schools in the south of the United States, especially in Texas, often have a tradition of the girls wearing “mums” and boys wearing “garters” to the Homecoming football game. Mums usually consist of artificial Chrysanthemum flowers (originally real Chrysanthemums were used) surrounded by decorated floor-length ribbon and little trinkets. The tradition is that the boys create a personalized mum in their school colors, white and silver for seniors, for their date. Girls make garters for their date which are similar to mums but shorter and worn on the guy’s arm rather than around their neck like mums. The size of the mums and garters tend to grow along with the grade the person that is receiving the mum is in. Around the 1980s, mums were usually about a maximum of three Chrysanthemum flowers and a few ribbons and only worn by the Homecoming Court/Homecoming Prince and/or Princess but as the years have gone by, the size and expectations of mums have increased and have gotten more elaborate and are worn by almost all of the students. Depending on the school, mums can get quite competitive, expensive, and drastically bigger than they previously were intended to be. New items are also placed on mums than there previously were like LED lights, bubble containers, cow bells, feather boas, stuffed animals of all sizes, and even more. They now sometimes act like scrapbooks made of ribbon and even contain passages and photos of the mum/garter-receiver and their date. The detail, size, and price usually varies depending on the school, town, and couple. The tradition is to make the mum and garter after the couple is asked to Homecoming and exchange the night of the Homecoming game and wear it throughout tailgating and the game. Couples often take group pictures with their mums and garters the night of or before the night of the Homecoming Game to showcase them.

OMG, are you telling me the rest of the US isn’t doing this??? 

deanplease

we’re telling you that this is NOT happening in the rest of the US. And some of us are kinda side-eyeing you, in a light-hearted loving way, for hanging a craft store’s worth of ribbon off y’alls necks.

nomercles

You know, I’ve read about the mums and garters practice, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it. What the hell are all y'all doing?

deanplease

And those aren’t even the big ones.

image

They get big.

image

like, BIG. Big enough to hide their entire bodies.

image

And some of the bodies of anyone standing next to them.

Also, notice the stuffed horse and mums on that guy’s arm. That’s a Texas homecoming garter. But the boys tend to keep them fairly small.

image

But some guys and girls just say to hell with keeping it tasteful.

Because it’s fun and they’re kids and why the hell not

I had no idea this didn’t happen anywhere else I always hated these things

jammerlee

Y’know, looking through this thread I kept thinking to myself “Goddamit Texas do you have to be over-the-top huge with EVERYTHING?” and being surprised that none of them were in the state’s shape. And then I scrolled to the bottom and cracked up

Texas ya’ll crazy as hell XD

i’ve lived all 32 years of my life in the US and this is the first time i’ve ever seen or heard of anything like this.

ok but did every kid have a certain historical time period that they were REALLY into?? like I was super into the california gold rush when I was 9 for no reason

downuntothealtar

you can tell who is boring by looking through the reblogs on this and seeing who says WWII 

i think it depends on why they said wwii! but mine is and continues to be the reign of elizabeth i WHY CAN'T YOU HAVE JUST BEEN FRIENDS WITH MARY??? (your cousin not your sister) because frankly your sister sucked eggs
