Types of shipping: an incomplete taxonomy

The matchmaker: when you think these characters would genuinely be well suited to one another if they were real.

The arsonist: when you think these characters would be dreadful for one another and it'd be fun to watch.

The voyeur: when you think it would be sexy if these two sexy people banged.

The identity crisis: when you want to fuck character A and identify with character B, so you ship them because that's close enough.

The therapist: like the identity crisis, but when A loving B demonstrates that you, too, are deserving of love.

The haver-of-eyes: when you don't ship them exactly but you accept that all evidence suggests they're together, canon or not.

The storyteller: when you think it makes for a better story if they're a couple.

The peacemaker: when you'd like these characters not to be fighting over a love triangle. Not a problem if they're all dating!

The making do: when you'd love a ship with certain characteristics in this fandom, and there are precisely two characters with those characteristics.

The fanon takeover: when everyone else seems to be shipping them, so you might as well.

The artist: when it's not your fault if these two in particular are so much fun to draw.

The writer: when it's not your fault if these two in particular are so much fun to write about.

The troll: when you've noticed that shipping these characters annoys all the people you'd most like to annoy.

The rebel: when you've noticed that shipping these characters annoys all the people you'd most like to annoy, specifically the writer and/or actors of this particular media.

The number go up: when you've noticed that shipping these characters gets you a lot of sweet, sweet engagement.

The word of God: when it's canon, and you enjoy the validation.

The Lucifer: when it will never be canon, and you love the creative freedom.

The Destiel: when no matter how you feel about it, you have to admit that the 5th of November 2020 was one hell of a day.

Seeing a lot of new people show up in my notes with like "proship dni" or whatever so RENT LOWERING GUNSHOT: IM AN ADULT WHO DOES NOT CARE IF PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMATIC SHIPS, IM OLD AND BELIEVE TABOO FICTION IS SAFE AND HEALTHY, IM AN OLD MAN WHO THINKS IT'S FINE TO HAVE SHIPS THAT WOULD BE BAD IN REAL LIFE, I BELIEVE IN TABOO KINKS AS HEALING PLACES, I DO NOT DO SHIP DISCOURSE, I THINK IT'S OKAY TO WRITE ABOUT BAD THINGS HAPPENING TO GOOD PEOPLE WITHOUT CONDEMNING IT IN THE NARRATIVE, I THINK IT'S OKAY TO GET OFF TO MAKE BELIEVE BAD THINGS!!! THANKS

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about the name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

(Six months ago, I did a version of this poll with about five hundred options on the spinner wheel. For this one, I more than doubled it.)
