“Mmm that’s a fine piece of mast”
@nonphatic Also: the Sun and the Moon are male and female.
@nonphatic Oooh, I ship (USS Arizona / USS Maine) / RMS Titanic.
@nonphatic I think it had some kind of psychological impact where people got attached to the ship so they tried harder to keep it safe. Also usually apparently they made it the opposite sex because attraction or something lmao
@nonphatic that's fucked up
@nonphatic Gotta keep men's egos calmed by letting them 'own' women/girls in some shape or form. See also Kantai Collection a gross game/anime about ships as girls =_ =
