Are You A Hardcore Shipper?

They say shipping is like being in a relationship with ANOTHER relationship. See if you relate to any of these very real fangirl struggles.

1. You have a case of the feels

Your heart feels like it's doing jumping jacks and a minute later it could be breaking apart, all depending on the situation your OTP is in. Your OTP's breaking up? Well, that calls for some tequila, boxes of tissue and ice cream.

2. You relate certain songs/quotes to your OTP

FOX

Most people relate love songs to their significant others. But you relate them to your OTP. It's like it was written for them.

3. You can't deal with people who don't like your OTP

"How can you not ship them?! *enters long explanation about why your otp is perfect*"

4. And when someone insults or mocks them...

If you don't like my OTP, fine. But don't say shit about them. Dan Howell knows what's up.

5. You feel the writers aren't doing your OTP justice

DreamWorks SKG

Seriously, can they hire the fanfiction writers instead?

6. Speaking about fanfiction, you love reading/writing it.

Fanfiction is where the fans create and imagine their own world or situations for their OTP that aren't on the show/movie. It's like our happy place.

7. When the show goes on hiatus, you'll miss watching new scenes of your OTP

Why do hiatuses even exist. Give me back my babies!

8. You feel like you need to take a cold shower after watching your OTP have sex

Comedy Central

Hottest couple alive. Everyone else's argument is invalid.

9. You spend a lot of time contributing to the fandom

FOX

Whether it's fanfiction, fanart or just tweets of encouragement, it all makes a difference.

10. When something happens to your OTP, you know the fandom feels the same way

There's a sense of camaraderie between shippers even though we're all from different parts of the world, because we love the same thing. It's beautiful.

11. When you're with people and you're internally fangirling so you try hard to put on a poker face

NBC

It's difficult, trust me. How do you hold in all these feelings?

12. But sometimes you don't bother telling your real life friends about it because they just don't get it

BBC UK

No matter how much you explain shipping to them, they just don't understand it and start to think you're weird. They don't get your fandom references anyway.

13. When your OTP breaks up, it feels like YOU are the one going through a breakup.

CBS

You can be addicted to a certain kind of sadness.

14. But when your NOTP breaks up, you're kinda relieved

CBS

That means my OTP has a chance of getting back together!

15. You absolutely love the chemistry between the actors

ABC

It's even better when they're best friends in real life.

16. Tbh, hardcore shipping is kinda ruining your life

You spend hours making fanart/fanfiction, speculating with others about what happens next and just staring at gifs of them

17. Sometimes you wished you never came across them at all

Focus Features

You can't imagine how different your life would be if you never shipped them. You would probably be productive and getting things done.

18. But you wouldn't have it any other way

Disney

You've met amazing new friends in the fandom. You've went through a roller coaster of emotions. You learned to love deeply, form strong opinions and fiercely believe in something. You've basically been through a lot. But despite all that, you will never regret shipping your OTP.

In the words of Dido...
