idk what you ship in rvb, so stop me when i find one you ship. lolix? davence? docnut? and for just characters, how about the badass tex?

I’m not sure what ship davence is, but I can do it for the other two! (and also hell yes tex)

LO/LIX:

when I started shipping it if I did: pretty early on! I got into the fandom before I got to seasons with them, so I saw a lot of fan content that got the idea rolling by the time I met the characters (which then adapted my take on it a lot but the encouragement was still there).

my thoughts: gonna preface this with: I’m on the side of ‘ships don’t have to be positive to be interesting’. it’s a really great ship for exploring unhealthy content. I don’t ship it in a healthy fashion lol. I like fics that explore the idea of their relationship being a mutually assured destruction kinda thing (and if they’re exploring it in a canon setting, where that leaves locus after the end of s13). if it’s au, that can still be done quite well, just in a more subtle way.

What makes me happy about them: the uniqueness of their dynamic. I don’t think you could quite make it work the same way with any other characters in r/v/b.

What makes me sad about them: frankly I’m a little hesitant to talk about liking the ship at all lol because I know how people react heavily to fans who ignore the messiness of in-character lo/lix, which I can understand but it also makes it a little high tension for those of us who recognize the messy and want to feel able to explore them within those boundaries

things done in fanfic that annoys me: as stated above, not a big fan of when people either spin the in-character dynamic as a totally healthy thing, or turn them ooc to then make it legitimately healthy.

things I look for in fanfic: good readings on the characters, I suppose. Haven’t read much lo/lix but that’s what I would look for if I did

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: tuck/lix is my trash otp, loc/ington has interesting potential

My happily ever after for them: …they go their separate ways ahaha

who is the big spoon/little spoon: felix is lil spoon, though I feel like lo/cus would be a bad cuddler no matter what side he was on lmao

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: murder, in canon. lmao but in the shippy case, and with some in-canon stuff thrown in, I feel like it would be easy to argue that they would enjoy travelling to see new places together.

DOC/NUT:

when I started shipping it if I did: great question that I do nooot recall the answer to lol. May have been after they were living together (whichever season that was)? Or it may really have been spawned by seeing fanart for them, I don’t remember.

my thoughts: cute. precious. pure. A+ ship :>

What makes me happy about them: they’re both just such friendly characters, I feel like they could brighten a room walking into it together.

What makes me sad about them: they both deserve more screen time, definitely ;~;

things done in fanfic that annoys me: I don’t know that I’ve ever read a doc/nut fanfic! I’ve never heard about overdone tropes for them, so I don’t know that there would be anything bothersome even if I did?

things I look for in fanfic: see above. I can say though that something I always always always look for is good characterization tho so you could apply it here.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: hmmmm pastry // train is pretty great for donut, and for doc… I don’t know! I’m going to come up with a random rarepair right now: doc/doyle. Two characters desperately not made for war lmao but stuck with the crazy bgc anyway, who end up showing some great bravery when they need to

My happily ever after for them: they get to remake their little house with a garden and live domestically together forever

who is the big spoon/little spoon: I’m gonna say donut is big spoon. seems fitting

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: well everything’s always a little sexual with donut lmao buuut besides gardening (which also intersects v nicely with my farm au which is why I fan over the idea so much) imagine doc joining donut for his wine and cheese hours because a) moderate wine drinking is good for you and b) they could be all fun and fancy together

TEX:

How I feel about this character: LOVE DAT LADY. she’s my fifth favorite character in the whole series, which I feel is a big deal since there’s so many fckn characters

All the people I ship romantically with this character: CHURCH. hhhhh that’s honestly the big one lol, like any time I see another tex ship I always think it’s cute but ch/ex is the only one I’d say I actively ship (like looking up content for and whatnot).

My non-romantic OTP for this character: her and york, her and north.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don’t know that I have any unpopular opinions?? mmmm I guess my facecanon for her would count, since I don’t headcanon her looking like allison (I hc her looking like cl/arice starling, which I drew here, shameless self promotion ayyy [x])

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: TEX DESERVED NICE THINGS. also even though I don’t really feel dissatisfied with how things did go, it would have been cool if her and caro got the chance to really interact, especially after the fall of pfl

my OTP: CH/EX 5EVER

my cross over ship: oh man, I’m not really a fan of enough things to come up with good crossovers hnnngh, sorry

a headcanon fact: I feel like tex would secretly love 90′s boyband pop, like the BSB
