While shipping can certainly add an exciting layer of intrigue to a narrative, there's something profoundly meaningful about fostering and celebrating actual relationships within the world of storytelling.
(And it's definitely has nothing to do with the fact my ships are never cannon)
Look, I get it. I'm a sucker for shipping stuff. I think some of them are great fun, but I need to know that the teasing the author is doing will pay off in the end, otherwise I just don't see the point besides setting the ship on fire with oil while the other one sails away.
I love relationships, I love everything that comes with them. The commitment, the over protectiveness, the cutesy stuff, the weird things couples do but they can do them because they're in a relationship with each other. The way couples can read each others minds. Sure you can do this stuff without your characters getting together, but it's a different feeling when they are.
Having crushes is normal, having those crushes drag on is also normal, but waiting until the last book until they get together, while it can makes for some fine storytelling. Doesn't give you any room to actually explore what they're like as an actual couple.
It's one of those, they said "I love you" and now they live happily ever after sort of thing and I want to know what their life is like now that they're together.
Some people don't stay in relationships after they move in together because the person they had a crushed on, isn't the same person they live with. Show this side of relationships as well!
You created a ship, and at the very last chapter the ship sails...does it reach it destination, does it sink? What happened on the ship? There still are plenty of questions left to answer and those are the questions I wish more authors wrote about.
Am I salty my ship wasn't cannon? Yes, but please create more relationships and not just ships.

Oh, I have a great idea, I could start playing ACNH again and look at the butterflies in my museum for inspiration on my silkwing character. ๐ ๐ฆ #wof #wingsoffire
A sketch I made of the Summer Palace from Wings of Fire. It was to give my places better visualisation of where they are in the location when doing their adventures.

Took car for WoF. It failed requiring rear brakes fixed. Fair enough. Took it to the garage. They couldnโt find anything wrong. Forgot for a couple of weeks then took it back for another check. Itโs fine. But had to pay the #WoF fee again because too much time has elapsed.
So, several hundred dollars expended to know my brakes are in tip top order and get a WoF. Also several hours of time waiting in queues. I suppose thatโs good!

From time to time, I do indulge myself a little bit. Here's a sketch by @wizlicos where, embarrassingly, I happened to get myself stuck between two bookcases in my library. These aisles are made for two dragons to be able to pass by each other with wings folded.. oh dear ๐ณ. Okay I may have let myself go a little bit..

I do find it really weird that weโre getting *another* #WoodenCoaster, tho. This will be our 7th #coaster, THREE of them being wooden. :sadness:
Just give us a #gigacoaster, man. We have 1 #hypercoaster and even it isnโt original, and is widely considered a bottom-tier hypercoaster. Thereโs 2 other parks with basically the same coaster, and ours is the worst of the 3 :blobcatsad:
Also itโs 25 years old :oof: Literally half the age of #WoF, seeing as this year is its 50th Anniversary Season

So next year I'm planning on finding a line editor and a cover artist for my next #book; if all goes well, I might even be able to publish it next year! With that being said, is anyone interested in reading some sneak peeks? The book is like, what if #ATLA was written like #GoT, but everyone is a dragon, like in #WoF
Book Blurb
How far will you go to set things right? In the wartorn conteniet of Azela, every dragon is destined for greatness. Every dragon is a hero in their own eyes, but they are also the villain in others. When trying to define right vs wrong becomes impossible, how can one choose? Can anyone be trusted when the battle lines have been drawn, and there is no middle ground left to stand on? These are the question Ashfin must answer for himself. Does he want to save those he put in misery, or is it too late for him to change his fate?
found a neat old doodle of my wings of fire OC, Parrotfish. She's a rainwing-seawing hybrid
