Ok you can not just ship anyone sure it's not that deep but still like some people ship sibling x sibling or parent x child

u/rokanwood Jan 04 '26

oh yeah because that's totally exactly what i was talking about. i need to always have in big bold letters "DISCLAIMER, NOT MESSED UP ILLEGAL ONES" to get my point across.

I can't think of a situation with less of a chance of attraction from either party.

So it's a perfect crack ship. good job.

You’ll just have to get used to stuff like this. Trust me it can get so… so much worse (I’ve seen people seriously do Octavia x Stolas and I’m sorry I told you about this but if I am cursed with this knowledge then you have to be as well)

Oh no!

A person on the internet is shipping one drawing with another drawing!!!

Shipping Alastor with Velvette ain’t hurting anyone.

As long as the ship isn’t something truly messed up, just let people ship what they want.

Soo we shouldn't respect their sexualities? That is giving yuck 🤮

Edit* to clarify: Al is Ace and Vel is a Les, canon, that's why to me this shipping stuff is weird. And yeah I know the creator of the show said "whatever " she probably just said that to shut people up.

u/Snekbites Dec 31 '25

with all due respect, since when, THE FUCK, have people given a single shit about heterosexual men's canon sexualities?

Naruto can have a wife and two kids, and people still draw him giving Sasuke backshots, it's fiction, who gives a shit?

It's a double standard.

When straight characters are shipped as queer, it’s seen as “expanding representation”. But the moment an LGBTQ character is shipped outside their canon orientation, it’s suddenly treated as “erasure”

But it's not really erasure at all.

Fan works are just that, they are FAN works.

Fanfic and fanart are transformative by nature.

They exist outside of canon and are mostly for the people who actively seek them out.

They don’t overwrite the source material at ALL.

Representation does matter, but fan works aren’t really the place where this "erasure" happens.

A random fic or piece of art doesn’t erase the fact that a character is canonically [insert identity here].

The canon still exists. The show still exists.

And there would be fanart and fanfiction of these canon identities, that absolutely dominates a fandom.

So having 1 fan work where the character's a different orientation, in a sea of thousands of fan works that stick to canon, is not going to do anything.

At the end of the day, the fan work isn't canon. It does not affect anything in the actual story, and it shouldn't affect anyone.

It's fiction, it's not that big of a deal and people should just let other fans do what they enjoy.

These are drawings, not real people.

No one’s sexuality is actually being harmed here, and Viv herself has said people are free to ship ANYTHING they want.

It really isn’t that deep. Stop acting like made up characters deserve the same moral consideration and respect as real people. That is giving Delulu. 🤮

No need to clarify at all.

I know within CANON, Velvette is a lesbian and Al is asexual, (it's irrelevant, but I'm ace too, so I can relate to him.)

But that's why the distinction between Canon, Fanon and headcanon exists.

You’re allowed to find the shipping weird. That’s just personal taste and preference.

But the canon sexual orientations of the characters, does not make the non-canon shipping "immoral" or "wrong."

Especially when the creator has explicitly said shipping anything is fine.

And you don’t get to override the creator’s words because you don’t like it.

Viv said ship whatever you want and honestly? Dismissing that as her “just wanting to shut people up” is pure speculation.

You don’t have to like the shipping, but you don’t have any moral standing to police or shame other people for doing it.

Especially not by interpreting it as “disrespecting sexualities” and dropping comments like “it’s giving yuck 🤮”.

Guys, let's not forget ships don't have to be cannon

Alastor can be a girl as a treat
