 Valentine's Day? Of course I enjoy the holiday! Cupid is such a dear too and always makes sure every year it's amazing. Love is such a wonderful feeling to spread, even in the young ones!

Though there is something I'm unsure of regarding that day. Why do you keep wondering who you'll be "shipping" me with? I don't think I understand, mun. I'm not planning on sailing anywhere.

Don't trust th'muns with shippin'. It just ends in frustration and pain.

[memoryguardian]

Whatever do you mean?

[myownhand]

Shippin'! It means pairin' two people together. [....] Romantically.

[memoryguardian]

Oh! ... Oh.

[Huh.]

I take it your mun ships you, then?

[myownhand]

More then I'd like.

[:|]

At least she hasn't attempted anythin' terrible.


[YET.]

[memoryguardian]

What could be so terrible about a little romance every now and then though?

[Obviously, Tooth doesn't know muns yet. YOU THINK SHE WOULD HAVE LEARNED.]

[myownhand]

First off, I don't want t'get involved in any of that googly eyed drama.

Second, there's way too much stress. Who likes who, do they like me back, what will my parents think-- all of that! It's too much pressure.

[myownhand]

And what if the person y'end up bein' shipped with is just a terrible person? Like not just 'doesn't stay clean' bad, like-- I don't know-- 'wants t'take over the world' bad? What then?

[SHE DOESN'T LIKE SHIPPING.]

[memoryguardian]

[... Yes, Tooth can see that.]

I guess I didn't factor all that into it. When you put it that way, I can definitely see your qualms with it!

But wait. Just because your mun ships you with someone... that doesn't mean you have to be with them though, right?

[myownhand]

It doesn't mean y'have to. But it certainly means you'll be shoved t'gether at every opportunity.

[memoryguardian]

Eugh. I'd rather not, thank you.

Okay, yeah, I can understand why this shipping thing can be bad.

[myownhand]

I'm glad we're in agreement. [Big grin here.]

At least I know I'm not stuck doin' anythin' on Valentine's day this year.

[memoryguardian]

[And a big smile in return.]

I guess you've dodged a bullet there. Knowing my mun, I'm sure she'll try and come up with something.

[Eyes mun skeptically.]

[hato_chan]

It's really common in fandom really. Shipping, I mean.

[wintershepherd]

Hey Tooth, you should ask Bunny what shipping is. I mean, he's been around a long time, I'm sure he could explain it to you.

[ More for watching Bunny squirm than anything, of course... ]

[springandhope]

Shut it, Frost! [DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO SHOVE THIS ON HIM.]

[wintershepherd]

C'mon Cottontail, aren't you the one who's always saying we should look out for each other?

[springandhope]

[Ohhhh you are a sneaky guy.] Then why don't you do the honors? [You two get along really well, anyway.]

[memoryguardian]

Is it now? I guess I haven't paid too much attention! [She's so busy and all.]

[hato_chan]

People usually get into it during their teenager years and young adult age. After that is a bit rare, I think.

[memoryguardian]

Boys, boys! [Time for this fairy to intervene!]

There's no need for all this fuss over such a small thing. If you're going to argue over it, forget I even asked the question in the first place!

[memoryguardian]

Hm, well, my mun is still a young adult... So, I guess that makes sense!

[hato_chan]

[ Nod, nod. He's glad he could help a bit! ] It's best to just try to have fun with it and maybe ignore your mun whenever they get too.... enthusiastic?

[wintershepherd]

Aw Tooth, that's not fair to you.

[ with a pointed look at Bunny ]

[springandhope]

[Wh... okay, fine, you win this time, Jack. With a light sigh, he shakes his head.] No, you should know what it means in case your mun's got any plans for you with shipping. Right now, yours is probably plottin' to get you some kind of romantic partner.

[And he can't pass up a chance to tease Jack.] Most people pair up you and Frost. At least, that's what my mun says.
