You all gotta learn to raise your voice. At the very begging of my Backrooms showing someone turned their flashlight on and it hit My face and I very loudly just said “turn the light off.” Whole movie it was silence. From everyone. Set the tone.
My HOT FANDOM TAKE is that ship names should always be a) the characters' names mashed together or b) a made-up word related to the characters. I don't CARE how cool or funny it sounds, if your ship name is a Regular Word it will be IMPOSSIBLE TO SEARCH FOR and I will HATE YOU
