#who post shyan and they don't deserve that shit

[professorsta]

Been seeing some... wack shit in the watcher/shyan tag so just a heads up for anyone new to the fandom:

Shane and Ryan are aware of Shyan. Neither of them are comfortable with talking about it or interacting with the ship, but they are aware and don't care because the fanbase doesn't bring it up. The predominant faction of the Shyan fanbase Do Not actually think Shane and Ryan are going to break up with their wives/fiancé just to bump uglies with their dumbass friend. Those who write or create art of Shyan are doing it in the same vain as people who ship two characters who have never interacted, to further explore a dynamic not seen in "canon" and to basically smash two dolls together to kiss. If you want to talk/write/or make art of Shyan, keep it in the tags, if you hate the ship, block the tag.

The watcher fanbase tries to be a respectful, fun place to scream about our favorite three fools, but telling people to kill themselves? Over rpf is sucking the joy out of it. Sending threats to even people who just don't mind it? Is causing more attention to be drawn to the ship than just ignoring it. Shane and Ryan wouldn't thank you for causing a stir about fanfic being made about them, especially if your fighting strategy is to get people to feel ashamed enough to think that you're validated in telling them to kill themselves. How is that decent? How in your mind do you ever think Shane and Ryan wouldn't find that fucking weird as shit? More so than the people who want them to hold hands

#fuck like I've been a fan for like 7 years now #and I always liked delving into their dynamic #they are really close friends ! it's interesting to see a friendship that is essentially a partnership #because of the legality of their business #and these new fans who think they are doing anyone a favor #by stirring the pot or making people #(who have been the crux of the fandom with their art and stories) #that post about shyan feel uncomfortable #are supremely annoying and should stfu #block the tag! #Shane and Ryan don't care! #no one actualy thinks they are romantically in love fuck #shyan #sorry just I've been seeing some mean shit #and a lot of my mutuals are very kind and lovely people #who post shyan and they don't deserve that shit #watcher
