I was trying to figure out the significance of the rather random dance number on Bunheads tonight, so I went searching on Tumblr. And that, God help me, is how I found out that there are people shipping two of the young girls on the show.

PEOPLE. THEY ARE MINORS. STOP IT. JUST STOP IT.

For the love of heaven, has no one ever heard of the concept of "friendship"??? Does EVERYTHING have to be sexual?

So "shipping" is what they call it these days?

Did it have a different name in Ye Olden Days of fandoms? I have my online foundations in X-Files fandom, where I believe the term originated. (Or at least, was made popular.)

I thought it was "slash."

Oh, yeah, that's still it for homosexual relationships. Shipping is just relationships of any kind. RelationSHIP = shipping. See how they did that?

I was never into all that so I didn't know there was a distinction.
