So what were you guys' first ever ships? Like the first time you ever shipped someone or something
For me, it was Hawkeye and Black Widow. I was 7 and unaware of the LGBTQ+ community (didn't know until I was 11 and hitting puberty), so that's probably why my first ship was heterosexual. I was a huge Marvel fan, specifically the first Avengers film and the Avengers Assemble series and used to play Marvel Avengers Alliance before it sadly shut down. It was actually pretty funny looking back now that my first ship was heterosexual because I'm doing gay ships right now and having more fun with it, but we all started somewhere, right? And weirdly, I haven't written fanfiction yet; I only started at 11, but I didn't come up with gay ships yet at the time, the gay ships only started at like 14 or something. But yeah, just shows we all started somewhere, maybe in elementary school.
(Btw, guys, I did have online supervision at 7, I was doing my activities on the computer since I didn't have a smartphone at the time, thankfully not the school computer, it's the computer I have (or rather, had, because it's broken now) at home)
