There’s no such thing as a “healthy” ship.

Ships aren’t food, they’re not exercise, they’re not even a nonfiction book or a classic novel. A steady diet of LGBT+ ships with no age or power gap won’t make you emotionally or mentally any healthier. It won’t teach you about how actual relationships work and it won’t prevent you from getting into an unhealthy relationship.

Unhealthy ships won’t ruin you. They won’t corrupt you, they won’t destroy your understanding of actual healthy relationships or erode your morality.

Your fictional diet isn’t your actual diet. There’s no organic vegan gluten-free ship that will fix a single goddamn thing.

Relax. Enjoy yourself. Read whatever fiction fascinates you, tantalizes you, engages you. The content doesn’t matter much for your health, but the joy it brings you might.

Also? While it’s good to find out, and cooperate with, what your body wants and needs (just as you should read things that bring you joy, whatever those are) – being obsessed with purity in your actual diet isn’t a healthy thing either, it’s an eating disorder.

Seek out the things that nourish you! Don’t sacrifice them on behalf of judgmental people who have never cared for your well-being.

This holds true if you have a food allergy – this holds true if you are an obligate omnivore. Thriving is a good deed, for yourself and for others.
