#Merlin is so shippable with everyone

[abbyofthefirenation]

im watching merlin for the first time and why does merlin have to be so shippable with literally everyone??? his initial awkwardness with gwen was adorable. there was potential with morgana too. then there was his meetcute with lancelot. even merlin and his friend will gave exes vibes. and of course, him and arthur. they really wasted merlins romantic potential.

[pendragonsclotpole]

something i really appreciate about merlin the series is how easily shippable all the characters are and also how some of the ships just fit so well with the characters that i cannot conceive of having any ship wars.

i’m a diehard gwen stan, so i really value the different lenses you can watch the show with and then get different pairings. my girl just deserves better! even as a diehard gwen/lancelot, i also enjoy the ships of gwen/gwaine, gwen/morgana, gwen/arthur, and gwen/leon. i would add merlin to the list of gwen ships, but after season one, they’re strong friendship and sibling-like relationship wins out for me.

and it’s the same for all of the other characters. like do i mostly read merthur fics, yes, but canon-wise when rewatching the show, does gwen/arthur have me in a chokehold? 100% yes.

also merlin with just about everyone. merlin/arthur, merlin/lancelot, merlin/gwaine, merlin/morgana, merlin/freya, merlin/leon. i respect it. i love it. we need more shows like this.

[eddiediaaz]

top 3 rarepairs?

ohhhh rarepairs! OKAY

gwaine/elena (bbc merlin). okay i know they never interacted in canon, and elena was in only one episode, but 2010s merlin fics have made me ship it!! i think they would make a fun pair

natalia/marisol (9-1-1). i casually liked the idea of them together and then i read august by @cal-daisies-and-briars and now i'm all in! it's such a good fic and i absolutely love this interpretation.

mithian/merlin (bbc merlin). so okay well i just think they compliment each other well and they'd have such a sweet vibe for a couple dates. idk everyone is so shippable with everyone on that show! i could continue for a while with rare pairs for merlin fdsklfdns

send me sleepover asks 🥰

RULES

On Shipping- Everyone is shippable on this blog. Yes some of them have 'official' pairings based on either established lore or that I've come up with for my own purposes. We can still discuss shipping them

While some of the Celtic Deities draw more from Welsh/Arthurian sources than the Irish I have them listed under the Celtic tab.

I don't care about reblog karma, I'd actually prefer you reblog from me.

This is my blog and my weird take on Arthurian lore I've been developing for over a decade. If you come into my askbox/ims/notes trying to correct my take on the mythos. Fuck off.

I am not overly familiar or interested in BBC Merlin. If you're a blog based in that show I will play with you but I'm not interested in playing by that show's rules or characterization.

If you want to discuss the ever evolving state of Arthurian lore though, that's sexy. I'll listen.

I post OOC a lot, it's part of my charm but also a turn off so be warned.

I know this is preaching to the choir but if you’re a radfem, n*zi, Zionist or some other breed of sexist and racist go fix your hearts.

The lack of mercelot content made me depressed, so I had to take matters into my own hands

[nocturnalnewsiestrash]

You know, when I started watching Merlin, I never in my wildest dreams would have assumed it would reach Newsies level of multishipping, like that's such a high threshold to reach and yet it here we are. In a web of ships and ot3s. Just like my early newsies days

[ummyesisthisjasongrace]

My top 3 BBC shows based on their level of gay

3. Sherlock

Johnlock is hinted at and all but simultaneously outright denied several times throughout the show. To this day, Mark Gatiss is probably the only gay person to have queerbaited the world like that. Not cool, Mark. Not cool.

2. Merlin

They're gay, what can I say, but Arthur's still married to Gwen and they kinda judge anyone who ships Merthur even though at the end Julian really said "fuck it, magic's a metaphor imma make this statement now that the series is shot they can't fire me anymore"

1. Robin Hood

They're not even trying to hide the homoeroticism, peak polygamy, Marian just wants to be left alone to live as a social justice warrior, so many bonding kinks, everyone is shippable because Sexual Tension™ everywhere, there's a canon scene where the Sheriff unashamedly SPANKS Gisborne's ass I ain't even joking, the Sheriff is the epitome of a Dramatic Gay™, literal "I love yous" and sexual innuendos guys this is trashy entertainment at its finest

Conclusion: watch this shitshow you won't regret it

Merlin Rants Pt. Something

okay so I’m always going to be on my “Arthur and Gwen didn’t have chemistry and they weren’t the cutest domestic little married couple 🥺🥺 they were just boring and a guy and a girl” shit but I was just rewatching The Darkest Hour (1&2) and I came upon an astounding realization:

Arthur and Merlin would’ve gotten together if one was a girl (duh I feel like everyone in the fandom knows this)

Gwen pisses me off (not because of her drama with the boys but because of how her character is just so….bland? In season 4 that is)

the main one I want to talk about is number 2

The issue with Gwen is that they got it right early (ie season 1) and got it wrong later, which means we as viewers have the ill-fortune of knowing that Gwen was better before. So, what changed?

for starters, Gwen and Arthur. I’m not even going to pretend that I liked this plot line ever. When they kissed in season 2, it’s so forced and just ugghhhh. Gwen is an objectively better person in seasons 1 and 2, and as far as her character has been built, she has no reason to want to kiss Arthur after he’s been a terrible and ungrateful person™️. Then when Lancelot leaves and she really starts to reciprocate, instead of having Arthur have some solid and strong character growth, the show runners say “fuck that let’s make Gwen bland so that we can put her with anyone” and then proceed to fill her scenes with forced foreshadowing for her future queenhood and Arthur lovey eyes. So

Another part is that she’s made bland to fit with Arthur perfectly. But that’s the issue: it’s too perfect a fit. There’s outside drama, such as their positions as king and servant, but then there’s no real friction between the two of them. A lot of people like to say that this is because they are a healthy relationship. But there’s a difference between healthy and boring. And there’s a difference between unhealthy and romantic. I firmly believe that if Arthur as a character has been allowed to progress naturally (with some setbacks but with an overarching improvement) and if Gwen had been given at least some real flaws, they could’ve been shippable. And still healthy. Instead, we get this “one-size fits all” Gwen that has 0 flaws and is just the most fantastic perfect human being on planet earth. But it makes her an uninteresting character.

this was cathartic and I have more coming on this

Supernatural Characters That I Liked :D

On 2nd April 2023, we finished watching all 15 seasons of Supernatural. My history with this show is that I didn't really know it was a thing while it was popular and then by the time I joined Tumblr it was "that series people on Tumblr like that I don't think would be for me". Up until late 2021, the only things from Supernatural that I'd seen were the Destiel Confession (TM), a short scene of Dean telling Sam & Jack that Castiel was dead and the montage of Sam dying from the final episode. Beyond that, I genuinely knew nothing about the show But in 2021 (I think?) my housemates and I had finished BBC Merlin and were looking for a new long series to try, which ended up being Supernatural. Our set-up was that Gemba had seen up to Season 12 (and thus had to endure us asking many questions about it), but Amber and I had never seen any of it Now, no one needs me to review Supernatural. Enough other people who know more about it than I do have done that. But it's been a long ride and I wanted to do something to celebrate it. So instead of picking apart the good and the bad, I thought I'd simply make a list of the characters I like. This is not an all-inclusive list, as in over 15 seasons there are bound to be a few fun one-off characters who I'll forget. But I tried to include as many characters as possible Starting off with my beloved - everyone's favourite Supernatural character whose name begins with the letter C...

...Crowley! (Don't worry, Castiel is also on the list lol)

I cannot understate how much Crowley kept me going with this show. We'd just come off the back of the Trickster dying and I was bummed about that, but then Crowley came along with all his yelling and his bisexual villainy and I was won over immediately. Everything about Mark Sheppard's performance was a delight and all his interactions with the rest of the main cast were so fun. When Crowley ended up on the path from enemy to frenemy to begrudging ally, it never felt like character-derailment at all. Though having said that, I also fully understand and respect Sheppard's choice to leave because he was disappointed with how Crowley was being written - as much as it was a big miss for me to see Crowley go. Crowley is my blorbo for this show He is also incredibly shippable with Sam

Next up is Sam, Mr. Skrunkly Himself and the greatest shipping bicycle I could ask for Now, some of you who I have talked to about Supernatural might remember me saying that I didn't like Sam, which certainly was true in the earlier seasons. I just feel like in the beginning, Sam's stick-in-the-mud attitude needed a bit longer to bake until he became the absolutely endearing, doe-eyed giant that he would become later on. I also think that Sam becoming a better character ended up lining up quite well with Dean becoming... less of a characters that I could enjoy, so that worked out nicely. I'm sorry that I was a non-believer to start with, Sammy, but I'm 100% a Sam Girl now lol

You're on tumblr, you know who this is I now definitely understand why this website was so obsessed with Castiel. What could've easily been a throw-away character was turned into a series main-stay and I'm sure that a large part of that was due to the clear love that Misha Collins had for the character and poured into his performance. Every time Castiel was around it was always great and, like a lot of people, my biggest problem with Castiel was that they didn't use him enough. They (probably accidentally) wrote one of the best autistic characters I've seen in a while and also, his Dadstiel scenes with Claire and Jack are one of the few times I've really enjoyed seeing a character take on the role of a parent Castiel is also incredibly shippable with Sam (sorry Destiel shippers, I'm Sastiel through and through)

Queen of my heart, Rowena! The treatment of female characters in Supernatural is another topic with not a great reputation, but you've got to believe me when I say that Rowena is a brilliant character, one of the best and most-fun female villains. When she was introduced as Crowley's mum, I knew we were in for a great ride and, sure enough, every episode she was in was charming. Ruth Connell really ran with the concept of "vengeful Scottish witch". My fears for Rowena had been that she would be killed off shortly after Crowley's departure, but I was delighted to see that she continued to be a main-stay for most of the show, ending with her destined death scene with Sam, before being triumphantly crowned Queen of Hell Rowena is also incredibly shippable with Sam, though I've also gotta give a shout-out to my short-lived OTP of Rowena x Gabriel

Speaking of Gabriel, the Trickster was definitely what kept me watching at the start of the series. In the beginning, Supernatural was a bit dry for my taste and he injected that shot of fun into it that it needed to keep me interested. His episodes were few and far between, but just knowing there might be a Trickster episode on the horizon always kept me going until Crowley came along to take the mantle from him. I was glad to see Gabriel return later on, even if I feel like they didn't really use him or play to his strengths quite as much as they did in the early episodes The Trickster is also incredibly shippable with Sam

The best baby boy, Jack! On paper, the concept of Lucifer's son joining the team felt like a desperate attempt by the writers to show a new, younger audience that they were still hip and relevant, but that ended up not being the case. From the moment Jack appeared, he was wonderful, bringing the same energy as Castiel, but with that child-like optimism attached that would lead to him ultimately saving the day and making a better world for everyone. Seeing the trio raising a son was also brilliant and actually the perfect kind of fanfic-fodder the show needed. My biggest regret for Jack is that he came along after most people stopped caring about the show, so he didn't receive the appreciation I think he deserved

I actually feel bad that it's taken me so long to get to Bobby, as he's one of my big faves, but in my defence he wasn't in the later seasons very much. Bobby went from being "Guy who tells the brothers where the monster of the week is" to the actual perfect father-figure they deserved. There was a reason why when Dean gets to heaven it was Bobby waiting for him and not John, and it wasn't just because getting Neegan back was probably expensive. Bobby is another underrated autistic icon imo and excellent boyfriend-material for Crowley. Even though I was sad when his time on the show was cut short, he was one of the few characters who I felt was given the right amount of fanfare for his send-off

Ketch! I love Ketch! He's our fave in this house. After the very dull Darkness season, I had my hopes low and was rolling my eyes when the British Men of Letters were introduced, but then they ended up being so cringe that it cycled back around to being funny again. We would cheer every time Ketch appeared

Yes, I like Bela and think she was fun in her appearances, you're all just mean about her :(

This version of Meg specifically was wonderful and top-tier shippable with Castiel. It's no wonder that she was the one they called back to play The Empty all those years later. Meg's flirty banter was the perfect foil for Castiel's serious cluelessness and I would always look forward to scenes with both of them

I'm gonna be real with you: most of the season-long villains were very hit or miss for me, but Zachariah was one villain who I thought was excellent. It's a shame he was so early on, so I don't remember too much about his specifically, but I do remember enjoying him and how powerful he made the angels feel

Pamela or, as she was known in our house for a long time, The Woman Who Was Fine About Everything. When Pamela first appears she's like "Two brother? Awesome, let's have a threesome!" ...Then she gets her eyes blasted out. When we next see her, Pamela is totally cool with being blind and is even using it to help her work. ...Then she gets killed off. But when we next see her in the afterlife, wouldn't you know it, she's totally cool with being dead. Even when she later appears as a figment of Dean's imagination, she's fine with that, too. So here's to you, Pamela. Wherever you are, I know you're totally cool with it!

Kevin Tran and his mum. These two characters are the absolute example of deserving much better from the writing, especially Kevin. At least his mum got some cool scenes when she tried to rescue him, but poor Kevin was basically the Wincester's hostage who then died to give Dean more man pain. Which is a shame, because Kevin was great and I really wish we'd been given more fun scenes with him

Hannah (Agent Stone version) ...Look, it's Lee Majdoub, the guy who plays Agent Stone in the Sonic Movies! Turns out he had a brief role in Supernatural as one of Hannah's vessels. I wish he'd stuck around, but as a big Sonic fan I'm glad he moved onto other things :')

Claire Novak - I never expected the kid from Castiel's vessel's old life to come back as a full character later on, but Claire filled the role of the vengeful daughter who grew to respect Castiel so well and I definitely wish we'd seen more of both Claire and her short-lived relationship with Kaia. I also had the exact same Grumpy Cat plushie that Castiel gave to Claire, so I was very endeared by that

Both the original Death and Billie who came after him were excellent! Both very different and strong personalities who filled every scene they were in - when these two appeared, you really knew Dean had to sit up and pay attention, because shit was about to get real

Another one of my top faves, Eileen! Imagine my surprise when Supernatural of all series introduces one of the very few portrayals of a deaf character I've seen and she ends up becoming a recurring character and love interest to one of the main characters. Eileen was annoyingly killed off-screen, but then they made up for it by having Sam go to such lengths to bring her back. She had an adorable relationship with Sam. ...Then they killed her off again and left us to only assume that she must've been returned to life by Jack, but never actually showed that. Oh well, I will choose to believe that the blurry woman they showed with Sam in his montage in the last episode was Eileen and they got the happy ending they deserved

Rufus went from having a somewhat subdued first appearance to being Bobby's partner in crime and that was when he really shined. Another character who was killed off far too early, wasting his potential, but I enjoyed the few Bobby & Rufus episodes that we did get

Garth was just a nice guy and I wanted good things for him. After his short, but successful, role as The New Bobby, I'm glad that Garth was able to retire and live with his werewolf family without becoming yet another victim of characters dying by association with the Winchesters

Becky went from being a very fun nod-to-the-fandom character to having that... one very uncomfortable episode with Sam... to disappearing for a long time and finally coming back to be shown living her best life with her family and thriving. Screw Chuck for killing her off, but I choose to believe that she came back

Crowley having a son who was brought to modern day from ye olde Scotland and then let loose into a park somewhere will never not be funny to me. I liked Gavin for the few episodes he was in

...And I'm bored of looking for screenshots now, so I'll cap this off by also giving a shout-out to fan-fave, Charlie, who they once again killed off before they should've done but at least had some good episodes, Balthazar, who was the idea friend for Castiel and gave me big Dionysus Hades Game vibes, Metatron, who really grew on my from his initial introduction as villain to reluctant frenemy, and to Chuck, who was a character who really annoyed me for most of the series, but then once they started playing him as a straight up villain it felt like he was the perfect way to sing the series out. Amara also got a lot better in later seasons from her unfortunate first appearance and it was a shame about her hand-wave ending I have mixed feelings about Dean. Goodnight

[fishoutofcamelot]

for the character ask: gwaine

Ooh lets go!

brOTP: Elyan. Gwaine and Elyan are besties and you cant change my mind on this like at all. Also Merlin. And Lancelot. And Percival. Yknow what lets just say the Round Table and call it a (k)night

OTP: I feel legally obligated to say Merwaine, bc I mean. Look at them. Its canon

nOTP: hmm idk Gwaine/Morgana i guess? Mordred/Gwaine? Uther/Gwaine? Gwaine is very shippable and its hard to think of pairings with him that wouldn't be at the very least interesting in a toxic 'i could make him worse' kinda way

Random headcanon: Gwaine is a fantastic singer, but usually intentionally makes his voice sound bad as a joke and to keep people from taking himself seriously. Not bc hes hiding his voice or bc hes ashamed/insecure or anything, he doesnt care either way. He just thinks its funnier to sing in a goofy voice than to belt out a whole song that sounds like a goddamn angel choir and brings everyone to tears. He knows he has a great voice, hes just doing a bit. Merlin is the only one whos heard his genuine singing voice

Unpopular opinion: i keep trying to think of any, but idk most opinions i have on him are pretty well accepted. Him being biromantic asexual? Yeah lots of people agree with me on that one. Him being in love with merlin? Uh, its called having eyes and seeing what those two are like together. The closest thing i have to a hot take is that he doesnt actually have any game. He sucks at flirting. Did you see his attempt with gwen? He knows when to back down and thats admirable, but he is not smooth at all. Like even a little. Watching him try to flirt is physically painful

Song i associate with them: "The First Step" by Will Wood. This i associate with him more so as the version of him in my paranormal AU, but i do still think this decently applies to canon gwaine too. It's also one of my favorite songs, so theres that

Favorite picture of them:

Thanks for the ask! <3

The way their own wedding day is a source of so much misery for these women 😕

***

Just when your drama is getting interesting and your favourite character is on screen being his awesome self, your elderly mother ends up having a smartphone crisis 😑 To be fair to her, it was an actual crisis this time, and not of the ‘how do I pick up the call?’ variety. 

***

I feel just terrible for him 😕

Anyway, thank god for Mom, even though the elopement will fail. 

***

I love them to bits 🖤🖤

Also, they are one of the rare general-lieutenant couples that I adore together but do not ship. They are both so obviously heterosexual and the female love interests are absolutely shippable with them because they are rounded, properly written characters. I just want to take these two and smack all the shit stirrers going “but why can’t two male characters just be frieeeeeeeeends” over the head with them. What do you expect when the “friendship” is written with obvious homoerotic undertones that aren’t even subtle? Some, like Merlin and Arthur aren’t even subtext anymore, but obvious text, and we still get the whiners shitting on m/m shippers. These two are obviously super close and intimate, yet here we are, het as they come. 

***

Simply gorgeous man 🔥🔥

***

Would I ever leave my life for a man? Hell, no.

But after the evil her father and other family members committed, she should run far and run fast. I know this will fail, though, and I’m so anxious to watch how 😕

***

OMG, HE WON’T COME??

I thought Wang Lin or Xiao Qi would catch her 😢

***

Is she going to kill herself if she can’t kill him? 

***

LMAOOOO, I love that they are both trying to run away before the wedding and will still end up married to each other 🤣🤣

***

Aww, so it was Wang Lin who caught her after all because it took Zitan too long to get his head out of his ass. 

Also, so many people had to die for this failed elopement 😕 Human lives are just so disposable to them all. 

***

It is full on fucking morning, my guy, you were supposed to be there at midnight 😠

It was your last chance and you personally blew it. 

***

The way she turned her back to her murderous father to bow just to her mother 🤣🤣

Also, even if she is here, didn’t Xiao Qi run away too? Who stopped him? Or couldn’t he bear to leave her? 

***

How does it feel to be despised by your closest loved ones? 

You brought this on yourself. 

***

LMAO, clearly his running away also failed.

***

Happy couple? OMG, they couldn’t be more miserable if they tried 😅

***

Their song is murdering me 😭😭

Help. 

***

Well. So much for their wedding night. What an awful start to the marriage, first the failed elopement and now a war. 

***

LMAOOOO, she dragged the men to filth and good for her!

***

Well, shit.

This can’t be good. 

***

Good girl.

Cheating is abhorrent. Plus, he had his chance and blew it. 

***

So pretty 💙💛

***

Evildoer alert 🚩🚩

***

LMAOOOO, did she just get kidnapped by a dude masked as a giant bird???

The wtf-ery of that aside, poor Awu, she just can’t catch a break 😢

***

Wait, they put her in a coffin with an actual plague-infected corpse? 😶

***

THE EMPEROR WOKE UP!!

A bit late, but still good enough, unless they murder him again. 

***

Gorgeous 💚

***

I love him 🖤

He’s so level-headed and steady under pressure! Everyone is yelling at each other and then he talks and his voice is so deep, low and reassuring. 

[the-fanaddict]

douxie, but if he's already picked then merlin

Douxie!

What I love about them:

WHERE DO I BEGIN. There is..so much I love about him. For a lack of a better term he really subverted my expectations. I wasn't expecting him to wear his heart on his sleeve. He cares so much for everyone, even for people he just met! Really all the ToA protags have their version of "I care about everyone and am super selfless" but Douxie just...hits so different. The fact that he's lived 900 years and still cares for everyone is so impressive and amazing (which is the point. He's Merlin's foil)

He's just so cool too at the same time like punk immortal Wizard who has a cat dragon familiar and has a magic guitar and supposedly tattoos and a motorcycle where and how can I be that cool.

What I hate about them:

WE NEED MORE OF HIM.

Favorite Moment/Quote:

Just one?

"History won't remember me. Stories won't be told about me, but that won't stop me from doing what's right" Douxie's not a chosen one like Jim or born into royalty like Aja and Krel. History won't remember him and what really hits for me is that he lived 900 years and knows that history didn't remember him, but that's okay because he doesn't care. He still fights for what he believes in.

"You'll die for this!" "That was kind of the plan >:)" selfless king.

"Abracadabra, buttsnacks" I love that he absolutely clowns the arcane order every chance he gets.

What I would like to see more focus on:

anything. literally anything. Any time period. Pre Camelot, Moppet Douxie in Camelot, the 900 years after Killahead, Life in Arcadia, Life in NY with Nari, anything. Douxie's life is such a fun sandbox to play in the opportunities are endless.

I also wish we got to explore more dynamics with other characters like Aja, Krel, and Jim. Whenever the toa protags interact it's such a blast. minus rott

What I would like to see less focus on:

Not sure? I will take anything and all Douxie

Favorite pairing with:

I'm so conflicted like on one hand I love aro Douxie and vibe very hard with platonic zouxie but at the same time Teny's zouxie art is very good.

Idk my favorite ships in general are usually the ones that I jive with being either platonic or romantic. Zoe and Douxie have such a fun dynamic and there's a lot to explore with the 900 years they've spent knowing each other.

Favorite friendship:

Honestly? Everyone! The way he collects siblings is *chefs kiss*

NOTP: Any of the arcadia teens >:/ found family is very good

Favorite headcanon:

I mean him having tattoos are practically canon.

Merlin

What I love about them:

He's really well written. He's right about many things. He's also wrong about many things. I love that the series doesn't really pick a side regarding Merlin? There's so many layers to this man and his morals.

What I hate about them:

Like I said on discord. My hatred of Merlin comes directly from my love for Jim Lake Jr. He may be right about Jim not surviving the Eternal Night, but it was wrong for him to just isolate, beat up, and basically manipulate a 16 year old kid into turning into a troll. I think everyone should've at least weighed in and Jim would ultimately make the decision. And that's the tragedy behind Jim. He's just a kid

Problem is Merlin's not the type to sugarcoat things. He's a massive dick about it. He's so focused on the greater good that he neglects the people around him. Including Douxie.

my willingness to forgive Merlin comes from my love for Douxie because he's the only father figure Douxie's had. It also sucks because he wasn't the best father figure either. it’s so gahhhhh. conflicting. But also good writing.

Favorite Moment/Quote:

"What a life you lived. What a wizard you've become"

What I would like to see more focus on:

I would love to see a younger Merlin. Did he really have a heart as pure as Jim's as he said? Was there ever a time when he did try to save as many people as he could? There's so much mystery to the man and his ideals.

What I would like to see less focus on:

dude's dead. What we can do with him now

Favorite pairing with: hahaha nimue

Favorite friendship:

I don't think he has a solid friendship with anyone but I'd love to see more of how he feels about the rest of the camelot crew. He seems like he genuinely cares about Arthur a lot (like that scene when he comforts Arthur after Morgana died like wow since when is Merlin the comforting type?) and I wonder what their relationship was like.

NOTP:

idk man anyone he's not really shippable except nimue

Favorite headcanon:

I don't think I have any headcanons?

[duncan-rohanne]

#3, 12, and 13? in general and in SaB

OKAY SO... 3. Favourite ship ever - I mean that's a loaded question, I don't know tbh... Harry/Ginny, Peeta/Katniss, Diana/Steve, Scott/Stiles, Merlin/Morgana, Jon/Daenerys, Obi-Wan/Padmé/Anakin, Poe/Finn/Rey.... I have faves per fandom but I can't say "this is my favorite ship of all time." In SaB it's actually MalZoya (I know, I know :D) 12.Character that you can only imagine in one ship - Honestly? Diana Prince. The thought of her not being with Steve is ridiculous. I multi ship my faves, all the time but not her, it's just not realistic lmao. In SaB, I don't know? I either don't care about the characters to ship them or I multi-ship...

13.Most shippable character - Scott McCall from Teen Wolf, I swear I shipped that guy with everyone. E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. In SaB it's obviously Mal lol

Send me a number and a fandom(or just a number) and I will tell...

[nooowestayandgetcaught]

1-36 ALL OF EM. ALL OF EM.

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR, BRO. ALL FANDOMS.

1. First ship you remember

Peter Pan/Wendy Darling (Disney’s Peter Pan) is my best guess as far back as I can remember. That’s the original OTP next to Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle (DCU) and Ariel/Prince Eric (Disney’s The Little Mermaid).

2. Your newest ship

Hmmm,,, I haven’t really watched anything new,,,,,,, but I mean I did get into Geralt/Jaskier (Netflix’s The Witcher) recently. I really like them.

3. Favourite ship ever

STARES LONGINGLY AT PETER/WENDY

I go between them and Mulan/Li Shang (Disney’s Mulan) and Korra/Asami Sato (Avatar: Legend of Korra) and  Yuuri Katsuki/Viktor Nikiforov (Yuuri On Ice) and Arya Stark/Gendry Waters (GOT/ASOIAF)  for my favorite ships of all time 

4. Favourite m/f ship

I grew up on the His Dark Materials books and I always was a Lyra Belaqua/Will Parry shipper and that has never ever changed. They’re so sweet. I WOULD LIKE PHILIP PULLMAN TO BRING THEM IN THE NEXT BOOK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT. DO NOT FUCK AROUND.

5. Favourite m/m ship

you really can’t wrong with Ash Lynx/Eiji Okumura (Banana Fish) except you can and I don’t care,,,, everyone’s alive and fine and not depressed,,,,,,,

6. Favourite f/f ship

do you know how much my heart broke when they refused to do Emma Swan/Regina Mills (Once Upon A Time) EVEN THOUGH everything in canon said they were True Love????? now I’m just pissed,,,,, I can’t let go of them

7.Most innocent ship

OH GOD,,, KATARA/AANG (AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER). THE FLUFFIEST. THE HAPPIEST. THE SWEETEST BABIES.

8.Most fluffy ship

WHAT DID I LITERALLY JUST SAY???

9.Most angsty ship

good god it’s Clarke Griffin/Lexa (The 100) but I still love them and I know I wasn’t THERE for Lexa dying but I’m STILL livid about what they did and how they treated the LGBT+ community and I’m gonna throw hands,,,, ever since it happened and Clexa is mentioned in the show,,, it’s always so painful,,,,, Clarke is not letting Lexa go and tbh she shouldn’t and I’m gonna get mad again

10. Most smutty ship

Smut is optional, not a requirement for my ships.

11. Ship that you would never have wanted in canon but like in fanworks

I don’t fucking trust MCU so they can have none of my ships!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. Character that you can only imagine in one ship

BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING.

13. Most shippable character

Merlin (BBC Merlin) and Harry Potter.

14. Character that you can’t imagine in any ship

Any character I don’t like.

15. Favourite poly ship

I love love love love Rey/Finn/Poe Dameron. Finnreypoe. Jedistormpilot. I fell in love with Rey/Finn and Finn/Poe through “The Force Awakens” and then saw in the novelization that there was hints of Rey/Poe Dameron and LATCHED onto it. Don’t even fight me with “The Rise Of Skywalker” because it was COMPLETELY a Jedistormpilot movie and that’s all I was there for. Those three characters.

16. Characters that you kinda ship but prefer as brotp FRIENDSHIP

since I think Katniss might be aroace,,, I wanna say Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark and don’t get wrong,,,, I do ship but more platonic ship

17. Characters that you ship and can’t imagine to be friends

Spike himself said that Buffy Summers/Angel (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) dynamic could never be friends and only friends and he’s right

18. Guilty pleasure ship

GUILT IS CRINGE!! CRINGE CULTURE IS DEAD!!! YOU SHIP THINGS TO YOUR HEART’S DELIGHT!!!!! HAVE FUN!!!

19. Ship that you never expected to ship.

I was straightbaited by Black Sails while watching as it aired and never saw Captain James Flint/Thomas Hamilton coming,,,, or them unburying the gays,,,,, I thought the whole time Thomas and James were sharing Miranda,,,

20. Ship that you liked but don’t anymore

at one point I liked Callum/Soren (The Dragon Prince) but I’m over them and I’m over that show and I don’t support Aaron fucking Ehasz

21. Ship that one day you were thinking of and thought “wait,when I started shipping it?”

I DO THAT LITERALLY WITH EVERY SHIP I HAVE

22. Ship that you immediately fall in love with after one scene despite not considering it before.

aahhhh I saw Toni Topez interact with Cheryl Blossom from Riverdale after their confrontation which was like,,,, the first time they ever spoke to each other,,,, but then the diner scene happened, and now I ship them. And they’re canon.

23. Poly ship that you ship despite not shipping some of the characters in it outside of poly ship.

I only ship Ryn/Maddie Bishop/Ben Powell with each other. That’s it. IT’S A CANON INTERRACIAL LGBT+ SHIP. IT’S REAL. I’M SO HAPPY.

24. Biggest notp

Dick Grayson/Barbara Gordon (DCU),,,,, oooh don’t get me fucking started

25. Favourite foe yay ship

L/Light (Death Note). That’s a classic. I know Light made sure his ass was murdered but c’mon,,, c’mon,,,, THE CREDITS TO THE LAST EPISODE THO??? DID YOU SEE THAT SHIT???? THAT WAS GAY AS HELL.

26. Characters that you like in every dynamic (lovers,friends,enemies)

we gotta go with Doctor/Master (Doctor Who),,, they’ve been all three,,,,, nobody can tell me otherwise and that’s the beauty of these two! My favorite versions are 1) Thirteen/Dhawan!Master, 2) Ten/Simms!Master, and 3) Twelve/Missy and if you add Simms!Master with the last one then it’s GOLDEN

27. Ship that you expected to ship before reading/watching franchise and you do

I saw gifs and things of Anne Lister/Ann Walker (Gentleman Jack) before I started watching and I already knew I was gonna fall in love AND I DID

28. Ship that you expected to ship before reading/watching franchise and you don’t

this might be a weird one but I really thought I was gonna ship Victor Van Dort/Victoria Everglot or Victor Van Dort/Emily (Corpse Bride) and I just didn’t for either of them. I DO HOWEVER SHIP EMILY/VICTORIA EVERGLOT.

29. Favourite crossover ship

OHHHHH we gotta go with Kate Kane/Kara Danvers (Arrowverse) like look at them look at the gay it’s like SuperBat but the female millennial version

30. Favourite canon ship

Princess Bubblegum/Marceline (Adventure Time)! I’m overjoyed they are canon! I’m not done watching all of this show but still,,,,, and that means we can get Prince Gumball/Marshall Lee to be confirmed canon too?? Yes?? 

31. Favourite non-canon ship

I know we can’t like CONFIRM in canon but Frodo Baggins/Samewise Gamgee are in love and there’s no denying this. They’re canon enough to me.

32. Favourite ship for hurt-comfort

All of my ships are good for hurt/comfort and whump. I don’t discriminate.

33. Ship that you ship in one installment of franchise but not in other (for example in movie,but not in the book this movie is based on)

I ship Hannibal Lecter/Clarice Starling in the movies for Hannibal related things, even though Will Graham exists in them, but I ship Hannibal Lecter/Will Graham for NBC’s Hannibal 100% and won’t ship them with anyone else

34. Ship that you never expected to ship when you were younger but here you are

I never expected to ship Harry Potter/Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger all together years down the road,,,,, since as a kid I flip-flopped between Ron/Hermione & Harry/Me,,,, er,,,,,,,,, I mean Harry/My OC That Was Definitely Not Me At All and Harry/Hermione but here we are

35. Ship that you have kinda love/hate relationship with

right now it’s Rue Bennett/Jules Vaughn (HBO’s Euphoria) because they’re so cute,,, they really are,,, but they can be so bad together and I hate that! I just want it to work out but Jules doesn’t understand her own feelings,,, and is kinda fucking around with Rue’s feelings,,,,,, and Rue needs to deal with her drug addiction problems first,,,, but let’s see what happens for Season 2

36. Characters that you can’t decide if you prefer as ship or brotp

okay FIRST OFF we don’t “brotp” anything no more because the term was created with homophobic connotations so replace it with “friendship” and honestly I can’t decide if I like Lucifer/Chloe Decker (Netflix’s Lucifer) as a romantic or platonic ship or somewhere between. I haven’t decided.

20, 26, 27 for the ask game if you're still going =)

Thank you! These are so much fun, I'm enjoying this game a lot <3

From the salty asks game here!

20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?

I said Percabeth last time and if I have to pick one for all fandoms ever that is still my choice. For some specific fandoms though..

The show that will not be named- Monty/Harper or Monty/Miller are so cute. Jasper and Octavia were sweet too. I loved Kabby, but I loved them for their antagonism to lovers story cause it was done SO well until they fell apart like everything else in s5. Otherwise I feel like every other ship got twisted and had bad moments that I can't really wave away for purity

For Hunger Games I'd say Finnick and Annie. They took me by surprise when I read the books but I adore their dynamic and the pairing of those two kinds of people.

HP- probably Ginny/ Luna or Neville/Luna. Anyone with Luna cause she alone is pure enough to carry the ship

For SoC/ Grishaverse I guess Jesper/Wylan? I prefer Helnik and Kanej, but I'm not done Crooked Kingdom yet and already those two can't really be described as pure

For Merlin I'd say Arwen but the whole banishment plot in s4 puts a damper on them for me. Probably Gwencelot then, cause again, Gwen is the purest character in that show, no I don't take arguments, yes she's still a badass

I'll stop this list here cause I have too many fandoms XD

26. Most shippable character?

Anyone in Merlin. I'm not usually a multi-shipper but in that show I pretty much ship everyone with everyone

27. Least shippable character?

Hmm, Pike from the show that will not be named? President Snow from THG? Chiron from Riordanverse? Most of my ships are younger so any older characters I don't usually gravitate towards for shipping with anyone or anything

And there you go! Thanks again, this was fun! It makes me try to frantically mentally comb through all of my fandoms to find the best answers. This took me like half an hour just because I was sitting here trying to remember all the fandoms I'm in that could be applicable :D
