Spoilers for 5x18 (I don’t think I don’t need to be clearer but if you don’t want to be spoiled don’t read this :BB)

Am I the only one going crazy at the thought of Sheldon insisting to sleep in Penny’s bed because he is too tall and won’t be comfortable but insists sleeping in Amy’s couch even…

what i noticed on the fanforum spoiler thread is that s/a shippers interpret it as a caring gesture from sheldon that he let amy sleep in her bed while he “forced” penny to sleep on the uncomfortable couch. the same people who constantly claim that s/p shippers over-interpret things.

oh and i’m so fed up with the argument that penny is like a mother to sheldon thus there can’t be anything romantic. she cares about him and helps him a lot, but what’s so wrong with it? it’s already canon that she’s like a mother leonard never had as well. i don’t see shippers commenting on that one though.

Protip: hardcore shippers of any ship will over-interpret things as far as everyone else is concerned. This is why I multiship, so I don’t get fanatical over any one ship and start foaming at the mouth. It works most of the time. Really.

(I just freak people out by writing cracktastic threesomes instead.)

You know, BBT fans, don’t worry about anyone acting like a parent/sibling/whatnot to anyone. In Red Dwarf fandom, we have a male human MC whose romantic choices are a hologram of his dead bunkmate (necrophilia), a creature who evolved from the ship’s cat (bestiality), a robot (robophilia), and his ex-girlfriend/mother (incest). Oh, and he’s his own dad. So, you know. A little implied Freudian shiznit is nothing.

Pretty much all this, right here.

… and sometimes I may or may not have shipped people who actually wererelated in canon, because I’m a terrible person. “Acting like” a family member is not a hindrance to my shipping tendencies.
