Shipping Meme
I saw this shipping meme floating around and wanted to fill it out too!!
OBSESSION!!! Obsession and worship. One-sided, mutual, recuperated or not - I love the intensity!!!
Crack shipping taken seriously. Love to see genuine thought put into a bizarre pairing.
Villain x Villain's assistant. :)
Soul Mates. Ehh... the lack of choice weirds me out.
Ukeification / Wimpification. The greatest shipping sin. Why bother shipping two characters if you don't actually like their personalities?? Then again, I don't get the majority of BL in general. I want my men to act like men.
Shipping characters that hate each other and have nothing in common. I can't get behind not having SOME kind of common ground to hook me into liking a pairing.
Doing something for another even when they don't like it themself / trying something new for the other. It's simple but it makes me happy. HEHEHE.
Character nuzzling into the palm against their cheek <3 <3 AAAAhhh... ;; Holding hands, kissing hands... any subtle gesture with the hands always gets me. <3
Very multishipper, but I tend to heavily focus on one ship / character at a time unless I get a really good idea.
Always rarepairs... x.x I actually lose interest pretty fast when a ship becomes too mainstream, but there are exceptions.
I don't like labeling when I ship. (or with relationships in general) I like when relationships just kind of "exist" in a nebulous way, so I guess technically polyamory?? Since I like things to be "open". It really depends on the ship and the setting, I want all the characters to love each other and it be treated as unremarkable, sometimes at the same time and sometimes not. I don't like characters calling each other bf / gf either, but I accept words like partner / lover etc.
Like, top or bottom?? I think of everything as reversible or it would be boring to me, honestly. Strict top / bottom and dom / sub dynamics bore me.
No. I usually just like things and occasionally I'll like a pairing enough to ship it. When I like a ship or character though - oh boy - I REALLY like it. LOL.
Honestly pretty important because I love smut and unhinged hornyposting nonsense. LSJGHSDGJ
??? Friendship? *shrugs* Fine.
God, it's actually so hard to think of 3 without just mentioning all Espio ships rn, lmao. Let's see...
Vector the Crocodile x Espio the Chameleon (Sonic the Hedgehog): My forever OTP, OOOOOOOOOH!!!!!! I love them so much. ;o; <3 I love their contrasting personalities and speech and both being so smart and so completely stupid in their own ways especially with each other!!! I LOVE THEM!! I WILL DIE FOR VECPIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
Luigi x Anyone (Super Mario Bros.): Okay, cop out answer, I sat here and tried so hard to think what I was currently into that was NOT Espio or Sonic related and came out blank. x~x; Enlightening experience to realize I really am not that big of a shipper, and usually just like the characters to exist or get banged by a faceless mob, LMAO. Aaaa... (I have no taste)
I do love Luigi and am always happy to see him with anyone.<3 Don't really hard ship, but King Boo or Mariocest is always fun. Or Prince Peasley!!! I loved those two. x3 But that is more of a past ship.
I think I just find designs / characters hot and want to kiss them and worship them myself most of the time. I never put too much thought into it before.
... Me x Every character I like. ^_^
Ganondorf x Link (OOT / MM / Wind Waker / Anything before BotW): My first real yaoi ship, lol. I still like it!!! I didn't like Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom and the fandom changing more to those game turned me off from Zelda for now. Can't believe the first thing my child brain attached to was dubcon age gap, lmfao. (I like all Young / Toon and Adult Link. <3)
Zelos Wilder x Colette Brunel (Tales of Symphonia): I shipped this privately with a friend and honestly don't remember too much of why I liked it?? They were both Chosen and dealt with it in different ways... It's been too long since I played ToS.
Garl Vinland x Maiden Astraea (Demon's Souls): Come oooon, it's so obvious!!!! I use to be so obsessed with Demon's Souls and the Valley of Defilement. God... Dark Souls and the sequels never gave me the same feeling of emotional depth that Demon's Souls did, and I refuse to acknowledge the demake that is the newer Demon's Souls. Makes my heart ache... ;;
Wolf O'Donnell x Leon Powalski (Starfox): I still love them so much but it's hard to keep interest when Starfox has been dead for so long and I got no one to talk to about it. xD; Are there any other chameleon assassins I should know about???? Leon is so sexy. *ignores his awful voice in Assault*
King Dedede x Escargon (Hoshi no Kaabii): 2006 ~ 2009 were the most formative years I had in fandom. I would give ANYTHING to go back to the weird community that formed around this ship back then, LOL. This is when I truly learned I am a massive weirdo and desire nothing more than to be around other weirdos. <3 The nostalgia I feel for this ship cannot be understated.
Depends on the personality of the character and if it would be in-character for them to perceive marriage as important. Me, personally? I don't believe in marriage and think it's a stupid concept that some people think you need to legally bind yourself to another person to prove you love them. It's only good for situational, practical benefits... like citizenship. That being said, I DO love seeing my favs in wedding dresses and suits, LMAO.
Not interested. Can be a fun design challenge sometime, but it's a pretty hard to make me invested in this.

3. One emotional aspect of a ship that always gets you
