#i never remember the characters i ship
Note
If you don't mind me asking, who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....
This is a bit difficult for me because I am very particular about my romances. It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I myself don’t really want romance, so I’ve always gravitated to two types of couples. The type who are best friends / old married couples, ie: they’re comfortable with each other and know each other well, or the type who are almost immediately rabidly obsessed with each other. Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham come to mind.
I like couples where the woman plays the masculine role and the man plays the feminine one. (Mouri Ran and Kudou Shinichi are my primary example for this, because Ran is a Karate champion who can punch throw concrete and commonly acts more as a guard for other characters than a damsel and Shinichi is melodramatic and fixates on details and has a real talent for saying rude things in a cutesy voice. They’re each other’s hero a lot, rhey save one another a lot, and I like that dynamic of theirs)
I don’t really understand attraction based on sexual interest. Like, I don’t understand wanting to date someone just for sex. I get why people want to have sex, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t understand why people would ask someone out just for sex? Like, if you just want sex, just ask for sex straight out. Why’ve you gotta date for a while? I don’t really get it.
All that being said, my favourite couples are either very boring or extremely bizarre. I admit as much.
Like, I very much enjoy Marth / Caeda from Fire Emblem. They know each other and Marth got his little circlet from her and they have some very cute interactions! On the other hand, I also ship Marth / Michalis because Michalis made an offhand comment all of once about finding Marth terrible but begrudingly respecting him and all I could think of was “slowburn, enemies-to-lovers, 250k words)
I ship a lot of things and I ship characters with multiple other characters and I ship polycules. It’s pretty rare that I find a ship I actively dislike, actually. I’m just a bit too easygoing about it all. Even if I’m uninterested in a ship, I can be convinced if there’s cute art or something.
Ah, I miss the days when people wrote essays on why they shipped characters. I know it was mostly for queer romances, but those always helped me interpret what others saw as romantic. So many of those posts were so detailed and fun to read. Even if two characters barely interacted, I loved reading someone’s essay on why they ship them. Even if characters have never interacted, I enjoyed reading essays on why they would make an interesting couple.
I know this didn’t really answer the question, but I honestly struggle with listing what ships I enjoy. There are too many of them, quite frankly, and some of them are couples that I just ship in a queerplatonic way that toes the line between platonic and romantic.
That being said, here are some of my favourite queerplatonic ships:
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn. My favourite dynamic for them was in the novel Cloak of Deception. It mentioned their size difference a lot, which I really enjoy (Obi-Wan is not tiny! They just kept putting Ewan Mcgregor next to giants! He is average height, honestly) But most importantly, it portrayed their relationship as Qui-Gon getting distracted by something for a few minutes only to whip around and look around for his Padawan wildly. This man has left Obi-Wan at a gas station before. They snark at each other and are just overall very comfortable with each other and the whole thing makes me very happy, I wish there were fics based on this dynamic (aside from my own)
Qui-Gon Jinn and Luke Skywalker. These two have never met. They do not know each other. Qui-Gon dies long before Luke was born and nobody ever mentions Qui-Gon to Luke. But, and I’ve said this before, they are oddly similar and I think it would be fun to watch them hang out. They are like two tuning forks ringing in perfect harmony. They are so similar, they are a mirror to each other, and I love the idea of them bonding over plants.
Furuya Rei and Kudou Shinichi. I don’t know how to describe their dynamic. They are suspicious of each other. They trust each other with their lives. Conan can tell that Amuro (Furuya) isn’t who he says he is. Furuya can tell that Conan isn’t who he says he is. They bond over stupid things. Furuya gets stalked for his ham sandwich recipe. Conan cannot believe that this man is this stupid. I don’t know, I like their dynamic. I like Furuya taking one look at Conan and saying “what a suspicious lil guy. I’m going to feed him in hopes that he returns like a stray cat.” It is very fun to read and to write.
I suppose you could say that my favourite ships, romantic or otherwise, are ones where they will sit across from each other in comfortable silence.
And I like ones that are mutually insane. Again, Hannibal and Will. Hannibal in the Red Dragon (novel) gets so upset that Will dared to not give him his phone number and home address that he figured out Will’s home address for the sole purpose to send a serial killer to his door out of petty revenge. When Will gets stabbed in the face at the end of the book and is in the hospital, Hannibal writes him a letter that ends with “I hope you aren’t ugly now.” In Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter meets the first woman he’s been able to have any contact with in literal years, and his first question is “Where’s Will Graham? If they’re going to send someone to pick my brain, they’re going to send Will Graham. Where is he?” (He is in Florida drinking beer and ignoring Crawford’s increasingly desperate phone calls)
Hope this is somewhat what you were looking for.

I know ultimate sacrifice is dying in fight for what matters the most and in 100% cases it was reversed by kissing headcanon is strong, but what if your existence was erased from the universe and only I remember about you now instead, huh?
#the fact that 100% cases is a one game is irrelevant#so far rule was simple: hedgehog has to be kissed to be deadn't#sonic the hedgehog#sonic prime season 3#shadow the hedgehog#i know that making potentialy at least several episodes if not a whole season without titular character is unlikely but what if?#it seems to be year of Shadow so its more likely than ever#sonadow#the “i heart you too”/“you must hate having to admit you need me” callback potential is too good#its not even as much about shipping as hoping for it to be meanigful in any way#i just want it to be more than everyone being sad and constantly saying how amazing he was and how they miss him#& brooding shadow grudgingly working with nine/anyone else because they forced him to and them winning because of power of friendship#and shoving a chaos emerald up sonics ass and everything going back to how it was#i want character development for shadow too damn it!#i want him to make some sort of a sacrifice too#i want him to fight for it. i want him to struggle without sonic. i want him to regret. i want him to go trough 5 stages of grief.#i! want! him! to! FEEL!!!#and what i DEFINITELY dont want is '06v2#which potentialy can be the case but with “everything is back to normal as if it never happened but i remember Everything” instead#(hopefuly cause if theyre gonna retcon themseves again i swear im gonna give birth of cacti out of my ass)#sonic prime#sonic prime s3#sth#in this concept sonic goes away somewhere in the first episode/somewhere early in s3 btw#and other ppl will remember sonic in some way at some point or at least help shadow cause lets be honest he needs all the help he can get#but make it gradual and more like a snyder sized movie than a tvshow

I love random ships I love rare pairs I love people using their imaginations to craft a whole narrative for a couple who only ever interacted a handful of times (or never) on screen. Fandom can be such a cool thing because of how much freedom it gives you in exploring story building and characterization. It’s a breeding ground of creativity.
I may be a byler fan now but my varigo days will always be a part of me🫡
#byler#stranger things#varigo#varian and the seven kingdoms#sincerely#someone who wrote fics for a ship in a fandom for a show that didn’t even exist#where one of the characters never even left the drawing board#and it was so fun!#I think people need to remember that shipping doesn’t have to be based entirely around canon#honestly I’d probably still think byler was cute even if they didn’t end up together#all that matters is that people are having fun

Hiya Lauren! I remember a while back you reblogged something about mark being romantically involved with nearly all other queer atypicals and it did mention oliver/mark as unrequited and I wonder if you could elaborate a little more on that?:D I'm just curious:) You don't have to of course! Ty!
oh gosh, I WISH I remembered this - I don't reblog very much that isn't fanart, so I'm having a hard time recalling what post this would've been and what I might've said/added to it!
I don't think of Mark/Oliver as unrequited at all. That said, in The AM Archives specifically, we were not writing toward that ship - it wasn't the intention and we had no idea that Andrew and Kristian had that chemistry until we were recording the whole season all at once. And then we weren't sure if we were going to get another season at all! So there definitely was a period when I was more uncertain about it, mostly because it was unclear what the future would hold for any of the characters.
While they don't get together in The College Tapes, I do think that they very slowly figure things out in the months and years afterward. In the TCT planner (which is technically the last bit of canon that exists in the Bright Universe, in terms of timeline), there's heavy implications that they're living together - or at least spending a lot of time together - and I think all of us who made The College Tapes were thinking of them as a romantic ship when writing that show.
They both have buckets and buckets of trauma and unresolved issues (as did Mark and Sam - and their inability to work through it together/the way they first met and got together, etc. is one of the reasons they didn't ultimately work out) so I can't say what their future holds, but as far as I'm concerned, they're headed toward romantic involvement the last time we hear from them (or already there).
I hope that answers your question!
#brytz#the only couple I can say with ABSOLUTE certainty are together forever#is caleb/adam#my answer on everyone else changes every other day tbqh#but my opinion doesn't matter!#bc the likelihood I'll ever make canon about any of them again is slim!#mark bryant#oliver ritz#i'm sorry my memory is SO bad#as the pals discord will tell you#my memory of my own canon is shoddy#tumblr reblogs are FAR beyond my recall lol#but if you remember what the original post said I'd be super curious!#once again andrew nowak's chemistry with literally everyone makes me ship two characters I never meant to ship#*cough* mark and damien *cough*#at least with oliver it was like 'oh okay this COULD happen and be good what a relief'#lauren answers things

I think Nico and Will would like messing with older technology stuff together. Will likes it for the retro aesthetic while Nico likes learning about shit he didn't get to grow up with. Will specifically enjoys getting audio related stuff like cassette tape recorders or radios. Wills dad gave them his old camcorder and polaroid camera so they make little video diary/vlog type shit and scrap books together.
#sorry ive been consumed by this ship again and yall will never hear the end of it#idk if this is accurate to the characters but its cute so idc#i have solangelo brainrot help#pancakes talks#text post#rambling#i like the idea of bite size fics that are just stupid shit these two decided to record#also i havent read past the second apollo book and cant remember the status of wills dad#id like to think hed be obsessively supportive of will dating nico#like to the point will gets all embarrassed thatd be cute#nico di angelo#will solace#solangelo

#i don't know why it's so hard for some folks to understand that 'settling' for a non-buddie ship is kind of necessary#when you remember that the actors never asked to be put in that position#and they're not trying to give fandom the wrong idea just by playing a scene in a way that would mimic real life#because they really are that close off camera#'i won't accept anything other than buddie!' okay....except it's not any of our call#or even tim's call#it's what those actors want for their characters first and foremost (ryan literally just proved this???)#and THEN tim works with the network to make it happen#tina speaks

just realized all three boys' parents are standing behind them at will's funeral
these are clearly meant to be lucas' parents, who were then recast for s2, when they took on a more significant role. and mike's parents are behind him which means that these two people on screen right:
are meant to be dustin's parents
#this is why it's harder to analyze parts of the show that aren't part of the main storyline - because they haven't been thought through#and meticulously planned in the same way as some other things have. like analysis of dustin's family dynamic is rly interesting#but it's also one of those things that like. is inconsistent and and kind of brushed over/ never alluded to as important in show#he has two parents in s1 that are mentioned Once and show up in the background Once and then they decided to recast a single mother#for him in s2 (whose vibe is extremely different from his s1 mom here) so like. it feels more like a change in character direction#than a purposeful choice to have his father and 'parents' in s1 and then have his father gone in s2 (bc it's. not mentioned ever. they don'#want you to remember dustin had a father in s1 they want you to see the dustin/claudia dynamic as something familiar and established#between them. which wouldn't be the case i think if something drastic had changed in their lives within the last year. idk)#anyway i like that they made dustin's s1 dad a bear#also. ted is crying lmao#new hot ship is ted and dustin's absent bear dad#beets posts

The Ultimate Sterek Supercut - on vimeo
#teen wolf#sterek Rights#the lore#this is alltheir scenes. yes it's only 1hr16 which appears to feed the 'it was all made up from nothing' side of the argument#BUT - u have to realise that the showrunner CHOSE to drastically reduce their interactions once he became aware of the sterek fandom#truly a fandom has never been turned on the way that tw fandom was. the backtracking . Incredible to remember#was it bc d o'b hit it big w the maze runner films. was it bc tyler p was mad people paid more attention to the ship than to him#the main character.... was it JD's feeling of spiralling loss of control#this was the first fandom i remember ppl CAMPAIGNING for the ship and saying it was literally going to happen. and - more than that -#saying this ship was BETTER than certain other ships. beCAUSE it was going to happen. and /or bc it COULD happen#and they were not totally wrong right? bc this show made such a big deal out of being gay friendly 'this is a world without homophobia' &c#And yet that was a shallow statement bc the show had such a twink-centric view of sexuality. I saw a gif where Tyler P talked about how#great the show had been for the LGBT community and - I remember plenty of Gs but no Ls Bs or Ts u know#hah ok i just googled . there was a one episode lesbian couple - one of them DIED and the other went on to hook up w stiles. yell.#representación.#Vimeo#vids#reference#sterek

also yet another series i'm long long behind on, but thinking of finally checking out kingdom hearts! honestly looks like a fun series.
#definitely seeing and hearing about it has always been a staple of my internet experience lmao#i never had the means to play it because i didn't grow up with a PS2 and it felt you like you needed a whole whack of consoles to play ever#which spin-off game#but the compilations do make it a lot easier#plus it just seems like a really cool series?#i like the designs of the characters a lot#there's just something about them that feels nostalgic to me even if i didn't grow up with the series#but i do remember the ship wars the AMVs the edits

Guys help I’m bad at remembering character names and I’m trying to figure out if the goofy guy with the buzz cut survived the struggle for Trost in attack on titan what’s his name lmao
Literally the only names I remember are Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Levi, Sasha, John, Marco (rip I loved you despite how little screen time you got), hange, hansas, Annie, and dr. Jaegar
I know I definitely spelled half of those wrong
#attack on titan#help#I can’t remember names#especially in anime’s cuz they almost never say side character names again 😭#also Trost has me in tears#Marco did not deserve that#at least let us see how he died#I was shipping Marco and John so hard the fact that John found the body too#i can’t#i just can't

the levels of overshadowing and underappreciaton of female characters can be easily spotted when you enter a new fandom and find out that there are actually multiple well written women. meanwhile you have heard about like one and it was coming from dudebros who were calling her their waifu with big tits and ass
#thought about it and like. before i got into dragon age the only female character i heard of was morrigan#I didn't know SHIT about women in da2. i was told about varric and fenris and anders a lot but i had no idea who the female characters are#same goes for mass effect. i was kinda aware that liara existed. that's it#and it's not like bioware can't write female characters. they can. but these characters are never as much appreciated as men#in the witcher meanwhile i knew about triss' and yen's existence. purely because of geralt and ship wars#which is. the symptom of the same problem#saw some discussions about the perception of female characters in fandoms and then remembered i have this in my drafts#so here it is
