🤣 in SNS, $CharacterA×$CharacterB denotes a relationSHIP of sorts.
I am nosebleeding at the thought of Eve&Amber being lesbians in Invincible.
And handshaking Ellen Woodbury’s “unintentional” fanfic relationship in approval.

Huh. I'm in a lot of fandom and I've never seen it done this way, with the emojis specifically. Like I've seen people do emojis of the two characters alone (i.e. 🍵🌸, 🫐🍦, etc.), but I've never seen the actual ship emoji plus all the other stuff about nosebleeds...

🍵🌸, 🫐🍦, etc

These are genres, often used to categorize what you're about to read.
I am talking about relationSHIPS, as in fictionalized shipping of pairs&polys.
What SNS do you visit? ’Cause shipping is older than tumblr

Uhh, my emojis WERE referring to relationSHIP names, matchablossom (sk8 infinity) and ShadowVanilla (Cookie Run Kingdom)

I know what a character x character ship is and means. And I know shipping is older than Tumblr. I think we're just having a communication disconnect 😅

I just was saying the emojis after the 🛳️ confused me, I don't often see people put their feelings towards a ship into emojis

I should have indeed formed another line for my reactions to the 🛳️s indeed😆.

I misread your emojis as

🍵🌸

Warming lilies

🫐

Berries🤤

🍦

Vanilla relationships.
