“SHIPLASH - a definition”

—

MamaVirtueMoir

Shiplash - pronounced much like whiplash, but with a ship instead of whip.

The emotional jerking  back and forth a Shipping Fandom goes though.

The Fandom will Swing from these two emotions:

They are together - everything is roses and love. Nothing will ever come between them.  They are in love.  It is a fairy tale

They are not together - the world is ending, there will never be good days again.  My entire mood is dependent on these two people being together.

Most fandoms experience some form of SHIPLASH, but the VirtueMoir Fandom is a prime example. Going from they are in love to they they will never be together in the span of 30 min or less.

If you are suffering from a case of SHIPLASH some recommended treatments:

1. Remember that your OTP are just people living their life the best way they know how.  The public persona of your OTP can be completely different than what they have at home.  Your OTP will misinform and misdirect in order to maintain privacy.  This is their right, because they do not owe you the truth or any details about their private lives.  No matter how much you want them to.

2.  Get off the internet if you get too upset in a negative phase of the SHIPLASHING.  Don’t read every post.  Don’t read every tweet.  Some people thrive on drama.  Tune them out.

3.  Go on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime or just TV to take your mind off of the things that distress you.  Binge watch some series that will engross you.  Or even better read a good book.

4.  Focus on your own life if you need to.  

5.  Come back a few days later, the SHIPLASH will have swung the other way again.  And you can enjoy the light-hearted fun of shipping you initially came here for.

Shipping should be fun and entertaining - if you don’t enjoy it.  Step away.  

If you have the impulse to ruin someone else’s shipping experience - Step away.  It does not really matter what someone else believes or thinks.  Only what you believe or think.  Share it on your blog.  

shipping is like second hand falling in love.

you don’t fall in love with their soft cheeks, you fall in love with how that person looks when they touch that other person’s soft cheeks. you don’t fall in love with their eye colour, you fall in love with them knowing it about each other. it’s not their thighs that make you go crazy, it’s imagining that person admiring those thighs. you don’t cry because they don’t love you, you cry because the pain you imagine they’re going through hurts you too. the butterflies having fun at a rollercoaster in your tummy are from the eye contact between those two people on your screen.

you fall in love; not with people, but with the idea of their love for each other.

Nice!! Lol. At first I was like a man that likes horses?? But that does sound kinda rude so.... by no means am I trying to sound rude!

In all honesty I still haven't figured out why I chose that , and I have thought about changing it, but it would be too much hassle cause I have it as my username for pretty much everything. 😂😂
