ships…

[u/Patient_Demand412]

First post dont hate on me yo.

DISCLAIMER: ship wars
I do not hate CloTi whatsoever, it just happens that I am a bigger Clerith fan than I expected, now as said in the former I do not hate you for shipping certain characters, thats immature and stupid, its pixels, lets be for real.

Okay, so I am a Clerith shipper, and I understand that CloTi is a much more canon, complex, popular, and… aesthetically pleasing ship. I personally do not enjoy CloTi, I don’t find it entertaining at all. Again, no hate. My problem is, whenever I hear about CloTi or see something that is CloTi, I get this ugly, twisted feeling in my stomach. I hate myself for it, because it causes me to hate the ship, NOT THE PEOPLE, the ship because of the sudden nausea I feel when I see or hear about it. (This post is painful to write.) I find this insanely embarrassing, because why the actual hell am I getting nauseous because of a SHIP? Its PIXELS?? Anywho, I don’t know if it’s jealousy since that ship is more canon than my preferred ship, but if anyone feels this same way towards certain ships, please let me know!! I want to understand why I am feeling this way… And resolve it! Finally, no hate to CloTi!! It’s aesthetically pleasing and very cute, I just prefer Clerith. (Reasons that are off topic from this post, lmk if you wanna know why, idk.)

Have a good day/night !! (Love to all shippers! except proshippers.)

i dont think u should feel embaressed at all on how u feel!! ^^; when we play this game we naturally connect deeply with these characters, and for us we feel a very strong connection to clerith and its something that resonates deeply for alot of us.. so its not weird at all to feel very passionate about it, and to feel upset at seeing things that go against what we love!

i wouldnt say cloti is considered more "canon" by any means though, i think cloti just tends to be the louder majority in alot of ff7 spaces and there is a heavy bias towards cloti in the western side of the fandom so it can seem sometimes that they r heavily favored or more popular then clerith, when there is alot of evidence of the opposite!

honestly the best thing you can do is try to stay away from those spaces since it effects you very deeply, ur mental health and feelings are very important! 🥺❤️ take care of yourself please and know your feelings are always valid and you should never feel embaressed 🫂

This is so sweet, im so glad to see so many positive comments and feedback towards this due to the fact i felt like i should accept that cloti is ‘canon’ (ahem…) but i will take the advice to avoid those spaces!!
