I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled

I see memes going around- the Fandom Sins meme, the shipping meme, and I... um, am at a loss. 'My concept of shipping'? 'Cosplay and mimicking characters?'

Have you ever
Stalked some one online/at a con/at school, because of who they cosplayed/RP/remind you of?
Claimed a character as your muse/soulbond/head mate?
Claimed you ARE a given character?

To paraphrase the Brit sitcom that ran before, well, most of you guys were born, "they didn't do things like that when we were alive."

Trundles off with her walker and her fleecy booties...

...still muttering 'Concept of *shipping*???'

Oh I hear you. Disliked French and dropped it as soon as I could. But of course I picked it up again in *my* 30s, and I see it (or a gross caricature of it- am not good enough to tell) on the other side of any label I happen to look at every day.

*And* about the other thing. 'There can only be one!' second language in my brain and it's the one I've heard most recently. I have a sad story about going to the French Consulate here while on vacation from my Tokyo job and thinking I could still speak French ha-ha.
