The Problem with Multishipping

I am a multi-shipper, but yet I have some sort of hatred of people who can multiship my OTPs. It bothers me IMMENSELY. Honestly I don't know what squicks me about it because to be honest, I'm sure some people are quite angry that I love Sethxeveryone, as do I like Sokkaxeveryone. Hey, they're the comic relief characters, I deserve to multiship them! However whenever I find out people ship ryrissa and taryan, I feel an UNDOUBTED loathing. I can't hate thim as much as full out Taryan shippers (I don't actually hate Taryan shippers, but I get SO annoyed just looking at their icons, I start to hate them and I can't help it but I know I should...) but I can't love them as much as full on Ryrissa shippers. Now, I'm not saying "PICK A SIDE AND STAY ON IT!" but, I just had to get that out. Multishipping bugs me, but I do it too...gawd, I just wish I could let other people do it.

I guess one of the things that bugs me about Ryan/Taylor is the fact Marissa is dead and Ryan "fell" for Taylor in no time. Oh lawlz, Marissa's ghost said she was okay with you banging someone else...come on, where is Eva Longoria's venomous ghost when you need her?? So, that's what bugs me first. What else bugs me is that Taylor was written as a Marissa replacement and even LOOKS like Marissa except shorter. It's so annoying. Her hair is blonder this season, and she looks less tan. It's WEIRD. Honestly, what makes me so angry is that they've actually full on replaced Marissa with this chick who used to hate them all. It squicks me so bad, I can't help it and gawd help me Taylor is the cutest thing in the world, but she's annoying. I'd never be her friend--ever. Or, I'd be an acquaintance and much like Turk and JD like to say, "Hooch is crazy!" I'd say, "Taylor is CRAZY." Seriously though, Autumn Reeser is the cutest thing in the world, her face kind of bugs me though. And yeah, Marissa/Mischa is prettier than her but Autumn is sweeter. Honestly, Mischa looks terrible (as in sick) now, GET BETTER SOON MISCHA. She is so gorge, gawd, that girl just needs to stop being stupid. I'm so glad she's off the draaaggs and is gonna get better soon. Please, dear Lord Mischa, for the sake of your career...off with the coke, and eat something, you are too beautiful to be frail...you have an Amazon woman physique, now pick up a cheeseburger.

All in all, I heavily dislike the Ryan/Taylor canon pairing because it makes no sense to me. I guess I can see why people would hate Zutara so much now, but really, Ryrissa is so much more interesting than Kataang and reminds me a lot of Zutara too. But, in a canon vs. fanon sense, I can see why people would hate Zutara. However, Rymmer is more like Zutara fanon wise mostly because it involves the heroine getting the hero. It is another ship that squicks me, but does not squick me as bad as Taryan. I think it's because Rymmer didn't get canon...but omg, I SWEAR to you that if Josh was allowed to do another season, he would've explored the possibility of Rymmer (like Carla/JD...WTF). So, I think I would have been MORTIFIED. Honestly, I can stand Rymmer, but only because it's a crack pairing as far as I'm concerned. If it were allowed to even be one episode of canon, I think I'd hate it more than Taryan. Maybe. Actually no, I'd probably hate both equally and then wonder, "Okay Josh, you've had your fun, can you stop being stupid and how about you write in Mischa back into the script as a girl who looks EXACTLY like Marissa and really freak Ryan out! Now, there's my bizarro world in action!" And I swear to you if they had another season to do it and they brought up the possibility, fans would've been like, "OMFG LIKE OKAY." And it would've totally ruined the show...

but, I would've been happy some how knowing that Taryan and Rymmer wouldn't have canon. More happy about Taryan not being canon actually.
Ugh, I hate Taryan so much it rivals my hatred of Maiko (WHICH IS FIERCE).

LOL STALK

So, since I've stopped really watching the OC, cuz I finished watching season 1 and 2, I've made myself stop because I know where the show goes from there. Downhill. So, I've begun to submerse myself in the good!OC days, and kind of PTSD whatever comes next. Marissa dies? Wut? Lol you kidding! Anyway, there's a few people in fandom who I have grown to like a lot because they give me hope.

In the OC fandom, I've really grown to like Snubbly and Rmforeveryoung on LJ. Mostly because they are Ryissa fans, and do not like Taryan and speak 100% truth about the OC. I swear to Gawd people s4 is not what the OC is. It's a shell of what it is. I can pretty much get into a heated argument over people who want to tell me that s4 is what the OC was and was supposed to be. I honestly don't believe that people say that. Seriously guys, if it was so great, why was it canceled? Yeah I understand that s3 kind of sucked but seriously, if the show's fourth season is GOOD ENOUGH, then it'll be able to float. People don't just stop watching because of Marissa dying, they stop for a variety of reasons. Why couldn't it withstand the blow of Greys and CSI all in one go? It could before (well not so much Grey's b/c it didn't exist at the time...) so why not during s4. Season 4 sucked cuz it wasn't the OC.

Come on, Summer concerned about the environment/HIPPIE? Taylor a good guy? GOOD JULIE? Ryan HAPPY? You guys are kidding me. I watch this show for the stereotypes. If I wanted to see a show where characters are less set in stone, then I'll watch Gilmore Girls. Seriously you guys, most of the reason why we watch the OC is because we like the stereo\types and how the characters actually make fun of their own stereotype. It's the whole point of the show, and the good part about it. Season 4, let's FACE IT, did not have the pop-culture quality that s1 and 2 had. I mean, everyone was lolling at Marissa killing Trey (became internet culture gold after "Dear Sister") and everybody loved Ryan Atwood's unhappiness. I swear to God people must have been downing the "MAGICAL AMNESIA DUST...*OMNOMNOM*" during the fourth season. Also, thank you Maree for rectifying this perfect!Frank business. HE WAS A CONVICT. ARMED ROBBERY. DON'T YOU PEOPLE REMEMBER?

Although, TBH, I stopped liking this show after season 2 (even back then) and things aren't any different.

People who make me happy in the Zutara fandom are Greenifyme and MizSweet. Mostly because they write REALLY COOL ESSAYS about how Zutara could be canon. I don't really agree with all of it all the time, but it makes a lot of sense to me. Really, all I think we need is the CRED to ship it. I mean Sumyan fans and Sethissa fans get to ship it because they're all part of the core four...so why are Zutara fans so heavily persecuted? I don't get it really. Anyway, when this ship is canon you guys will be so pissed hahahaha.


Now a fave.

F*ck you Avatar Fandom...some parts of it anyway.

Just because people think that Zutara can happen does NOT mean they are delusional.
Also, if anybody EVER tells me that Zutara doesn't get any FLAK they can go put a pick axe into their backs a permanently paralyse themselves for the rest of eternity.. Our fandom gets a BUNCH of shit, and I don't need to hear "bla bla bla omg my Kataang is on fiar, people hate my fandom and thinkz Katara iz like his mothers." or "Bla bla bla everything thinx mai is fugly for zuko." STFU. Every fandom has its hardships, every fandom has its follies so don't act all high and mighty on your high horse thinking that you're the only ones who go through crap. We all do. I am sick of hearing it and I am sick of the butthurt that goes on throughout this gawdforsaken fandom. You want to hear about all those many times that people pick on Zutara and say it's impossible? Do you think it's honestly nice to hear every single time you go into forums a thread everyday that says, "ZUTARA WILL NEVER HAPPEN." NO. Shut up kindly and think of others.

I am sick and tired of all this wangst and whining people force themselves through about how they're going through so much trouble just being in their fandom. Stop ranting and bitching about useless stuff. This is just shipping for one, two, people always interpret things differently, three, don't act confident about your ship when for all you know it could be going down Zutarians, Kataangers and Maiko people alike.

We are ALL waiting and seeing how dare you think you have the answers to everything. You know NOTHING. SORRY TO SAY.
We are all in this together so stop trying to segregate yourselves from this possibility your ship is going to die.

Also this will be my last fandom rant because like I said, I am sick of people whining.

Tired of This

I have just about had enough with some of the Avatar community and its outright hatred for zutarians. I realise that a large fraction of our fanbase is made up of retarded preteen girls who scream "zutara!" at the most inopportune least zutaraesque moments but I wish they would know that not every zutarian is delusional and ridiculous. I am so sick of people calling us out on how ridiculous our ship is and how little potential it has for blossoming. We get the damn point. We got it after season 2, we got it after the trailer, we got it again after "The Awakening". There is a large chance at Zutara isn't happening but I don't see why we can't speculate that it could happen, or talk about how much we wish it could happen.

Although I think many zutarians are ridiculous, stupid and immature, I will not appologize for their actions in any way or form because where there is one zutarian spouting off "foreshadowing" out of obscene contexts, there are three Kataangers and two Maikoers who ridicule and bash. Usually the same ones. Thus, I see no reason why I should appologize for a fandom who is no more guilty than the rest. I do not represent the Zutara fandom so hear me Avatar shippers who don't agree with Zutara, if you preach about the stupidity of Zutara and how many Zutarians have just pissed you off by "foreshadowing" to you and demand for retribution I am not giving you any. If someone offends you so much by just telling you that something *may* happen, oh boo effing hoo, the little baby's upset by the big bad Zutarian. How drole. I don't give a crap about what's going to be canon nor do I see a reason why I should have to prove to you why it will be canon. If I think it will be, it's no concern to you what I think. Nor I am concerned about what you think.

Zutarians are stupid because of outright delusion, Kataangers are jerks because they're so narrow minded you'd think they had a water bending scroll up their ass and Maikoers think they're all that because of a borderline crack ship. There I said it. Every ship is stupid when you analyse it and it makes me truly think that Mike and Bryan enjoy looking at how deliriously dumb their fans are made of. To think that most of us Avatards are 16+.

But when I say this, I do not say that I hate our fandom. On the contrary. There are so many awesome fans out there, so many cool people I've met and hell, I love the zutarian fan community idiots and all. You guys are awesome. Thanks for making ME like my own fandom, and I am not afraid to say, LONG LIVE ZUTARA CANON OR NOT.

Our fanart is hotter anyway.
