Ship rambling...

[helsinkibaby]

So in response to the ask me about my ships meme, shallowness asked-

Is there a type of ship that you've got more into over the past few years, or do your tastes remain more or less the same?I had to think about this because over the last few years my tv watching has declined, my computer time has declined so I was trying to think of what I have

(Replying here as this is where I saw it first.) I do assosciate you with uncanonical pairings, so I'm not surprised at your answer. And, mostly, I think fans tend to have certain types of 'ships they always fall for. Well, I do anyway. I don't know all the fandoms, but it strikes me that there are a lot of people who work together being shipped here, even if their relationship isn't played as romantic, so there's a baseline of a common endeavour and maybe respect? Would you say that's true?

And as PTB can get romances on shows horribly wrong, partly becuase they've mistimed it, I do understand the relief from that of taking the unconventional route. Although do you find that it's sparked by a moment in canon rather than coming up with scenarios that explore Character A and B interacting?

As to the first, I had to go back and read over my ships that I listed and they actually all work together. As did Leo and Ainsley (West Wing) and Warrick and Sara and quite a few more. I'm not sure if that says something about a baseline of friendship/respect or if it's just the type of shows I watch? But probably a mix of both
