[RP Advice] Single Ship, Multi-Ship (Respect The Stories)
Category: Blogging

My friend and I see this, argumentatively a lot within the world of RP, and it must be addressed..

I have seen this too much with my friends, people shame others for shipping with 1 or more characters. There is nothing wrong with being a single shipper or multishipper. However, there is something wrong if you do not respect the Admin’s choices. It is one thing if you do not like the shipping, but it is completely another to disrespect an Admin’s choice of how they wish to ship.

•Single Ship

-This simply means they only allow one ship for every story they make. Their character chooses to stay with one person, regardless of the different stories they make.

•Multiship

-This means they allow their character more than one shipping. They see every story as a different interaction and are more than happy to make bonds with more than one character.

I digress, it is quite hurtful when someone puts the spotlight on you and claims you’re in the wrong. But thus, you must understand the Admin’s reasoning for why they choose how to ship. It is all about compromise, understanding, as long as you respect each other’s requests. I too have been called out by a now ex friend, about being a multishipper, she actually accused my character of “cheating” on hers. Not the case, I simply separate my interactions and don’t merge my stories into one unless said otherwise, therefor I ship my characters with whomever they develop chemistry with.

Please keep in mind to respect your partners in this aspect. It hurts them as much as it hurts you. It is important to know what your partner’s preferences are.
