Great Appreciation

Posted 02-15-2012 at 10:19 PM by Slog Bait

I am so glad shippers are a rarity in the Oddworld fanbase.

Seriously.

If there were an abundance of shippers in this fanbase like there are in most other fandoms I've been an "active participant" in, I don't think I could even look in the direction of... well, anything relating to the fanbase.

And even then the shipping I've seen relating to Oddworld usually applied to OCs and joke pics/fics.

No seriously I am so grateful for this silly little detail you guys have no idea.

	You should've seen how things were with some fics a decade ago... But Oddworld really isn't the sort of franchise to do that sort of thing with.

	Check my recent post in the Classics thread.

	Oh god, I don't even want to know. I think I'll make it a point not to go digging for decade old ship fics. Also... A good majority of that thread was in jest, and I actually found it quite humorous. It was just OWF being OWF to a very strange topic.

	But was it dark?

	I hate shippers, so I agree.

	Shippers?

	Wiki is your friend. (and yeah I had to look it up myself... I didn't even know it was a concept that had a name until today. Instead I thought it was just another aspect of poor fanfic writing.)

	"Shipping" used to mean just being pro-certain characters getting into a relationship. Now it's the in word for Slash.

	Well, I know what I'm doing with my Friday evening.

	I ship a lot. But not Oddworld.

	Regrettably if we lived in fiction then there's more than enough ammunition to ship me with STM, Ridg3, Sekto, Strike Witch, Nate, MA and any number of forgotten members I've feuded with. Also Wil.

	You've fought with everybody at some point.

	There's a difference between arguing about the conceptual distinction between atheism and agnosticism with you, and trawling STM through five threads telling him how much he sucks, then giving him pos rep the next time he makes a vaguely agreeable post as apology for being a cunt.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 06:46 AM by Wings of Fire

	Does that mean our thing doesn't count? Shit.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 06:52 AM by Bullet Magnet

	I feel betrayed and aroused.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 06:53 AM by Wil

	Who's doing it this time?
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 06:55 AM by Bullet Magnet

	EVERYONE, but you especially.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 07:21 AM by Wil

	I once didn't ship something.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 07:31 AM by OANST

	I would like to point out I disdain the references to how I acted then and now, especially when I have to re-read them because I don't understand whether I'm being ripped into or not. I'm not so much as a cunt as that the last time I got furious in a God debate you were arguing with like...a fourteen year old or something..so misguided more than a cunt, oh and indoctrinated up to my ears.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 10:44 AM by STM

	Oh come now, it's been like two months since the last time I had a vendetta with you over something stupid and I'm damn sure it wasn't about religion. I was being self-deprecating. GOD
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 10:50 AM by Wings of Fire

	Uh Also You misread I posrep you as an apology for me being a cunt.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 10:53 AM by Wings of Fire

	Also I stopped those shenanigans for good a couple of months ago when I realized you actually think I hate you and want you off the forum. When that's really really really really not true. I don't want to be seen as a bully.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 10:58 AM by Wings of Fire

	o.o Dude, I figured we disagreed but I didn't want to come across like I think you're a bad guy, you're nice enough, just partial to a good scolding. Which isn't a bad thing, I can't believe some of the shit I was spouting in the God Debate I and II. Sometimes I have a hard time reading between the lines with some of your posts because believe it or not I'm not particularly bright. XD hugs?
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 11:12 AM by STM

	See what I mean? Prime shipping material right here.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 11:15 AM by Wings of Fire

	...I don't get it again, how do you confuse someone with two sentences? XD
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 11:33 AM by STM

	He's saying that he hates you so much that he wants to ship you to Siberia. Man, what a dick.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 11:35 AM by OANST

	: ...I don't get it again, how do you confuse someone with two sentences? XD Once you experience enough media with romantic subtext it becomes very very hard to turn the shipping goggles off. It's like a really perverse unhealthy form of The Tetris Effect.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 11:42 AM by Wings of Fire

	OANST, that's massively ironic, I'm currently writing an essay on the Five-Year Plans and how Stalin shipped all the Kulaks to Siberia. Well, I'm not too sure how that concludes WoF but you get a hug any way.
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 12:19 PM by STM

	Don't! It's a trap!
	Posted 02-16-2012 at 03:01 PM by Bullet Magnet

	Who left that piano music on? And why are there all these bubbles?
