• Disclaimer. •
this is my first rant and I’m comfortable with constructive criticism. Don’t bash me for it though. If you have an oc you need advice on I’d be glad to help on them :)

”what’s wrong with it?”
my answer is: nothing. Nothing at all

why you shouldn’t be mad at oc x cannon
a lot of people ship their Ocs and a cannon. And then here comes people hating on them for it. Why? I don’t understand why people dislike this. Just because someone wants to ship their oc with a canon from the show?
•
For example. Someone’s oc named... let’s just call them “EX. A” I don’t know. Let’s just say the wants to ship “EX. A” with Levi. Or even eren. I chose those examples because they are probably some of the most popular cannon characters being shipped. And then people will go.. “ oh my god! Why do you ship your oc with Levi? That’s such a Mary/Gary sue!” Ummm. No it’s not? It’s actually fine.
•
Why? Because, if you want to ship your oc with anyone, anyone at all, it always has to make sense of course. You can’t just be like “ok so my oc met eren and then they got married uwu” - no. They actually need to have development in the relationship. Like if you want to ship your oc with Levi, he’ll probably start out cold towards the character. Then maybe he’ll get more soft afterwards. But it’ll take some time to break the mask, because.. well. You know levi. He’ll also try to push the character away as you know he tries to push his friends away from him as he doesn’t want them to die when they get close.

common mistakes in a oc x cannon
too many “near death but saved” experiences.
”EX.A falls down a long way and breaks many bones, but then! Eren comes in and romantically carries them to get helped.. without eren, EX.A would have died!”
A couple of those experiences are fine. But too many will make it seem like the oc is desperate/ helpless.
not a well built relationship.
”EX.A met levi when they were kids and levi quickly asked EX.A to date him! EX.A was extremely surprised but agreed. It was love at first sight!”
as I said before. Relationships take time.
disliking other characters for being shipped with the cannon
”EX.A Hates mikasa because she took Eren senpai from her! EX.A is so much more strong then mikasa because she is better!1!”
you need to be nice. Even if you dislike a character for being shipped with cannon, it’s a bit strange anyway. It’s like saying you hate Petra because she’s shipped with Levi (personally I like that ship-) it’s just useless and won’t do you any good.

Ohohohoho...the donts of this make me cringe. XD But wonderfully explained. You see I get really self conscious about shipping my Oc with a cannon in fear that I'm going to get hated on. Even though my character is shipped with Marcel, who currently; I know not a single who ships thier Oc with him but hey. Watcha gonna do? X3
Haha yeah :joy:
Also thanks for your :D
Marcel x your oc sounds pretty spicy
