Shipping names?

[yuidirnt]

Okay, I guess this is a bit off topic for this community, but I have a question that has been bugging me for as long as I remember. Why the heck is Yami Bakura/Bakura called Tendershipping? It makes no sense D:
And can someone tell me if there's already a name for Yami Malik/Ryou/Malik? There isn't one in the shippers lists, but maybe someone

I know there have to be names for those because people have created names for any pairings imaginable.
Ryou/Malik is Angstshipping if memory serves, but I don't know the other one.

[yuidirnt]

Nope, I meant it as Yami Malik/Ryou/Malik, I guess I wasn't clear, sorry.

[yohkochan]

Oh, I guess I misread it. Anyway, I found this list:
http://www.freewebs.com/loyaljoey/shippinglist.htm
But it doesn't seem to be on there. I imagine there MUST be a name for it, it's not as crazy as some pairings that do have names.

[yuidirnt]

Sadly, it seems there really isn't a name for it.

If I recall correctly the whole "shipping" list was controlled by two anal fangirls on a Yu-Gi-Oh forum way back in the day. I don't really think anyone uses these names for ships seriously anymore.

[yuidirnt]

Yeah, I know the names aren't really used, but it would be nice if there was one for my favorite threesome, lol.

[tunafish]

Make one up? I don't think the people that "control" the list are around anymore. It might catch on.

[yuidirnt]

Well, over 4chan we kind of decided to call it Abuseshipping, it's just kind of sad that no one will ever add it to the 'official' list.
I'll just go on and use it myself :p

[lavaliere]

I still use the names, mostly for the lulz.

But as for why it's Tendershipping. Well, Yami no Bakura likes his steak. Ryou is a creampuff.

And love is rarely tender. /bad joke

idk, some of them make sense, like Puzzleshipping. Some, I don't even know. 8|

[yuidirnt]

Pffff, it makes even less sense now -shot-

I'd say Puzzleshipping is the the one that makes most sense. But it's not just the names, most of the pairings on the list are kind of "WTF".

[lavaliere]

Actually, I think it came from the fics where at first Yami no Bakura would be cruel to Ryou, but through the magic of ~*truelove*~ and some buttsex, he became a lot kinder.

Or something. :\

Yeah... idk. I like to think they're for the lulz.

[yuidirnt]

Poor Ryou, there should be some kind of Save The Omote association, or something :/ he's always the abused one, I'd love to see him beat the crap out of Yami Bakura for once.

Be it for the lulz or not, pairings like Seto x Ryou x Miho still makes me wonder who came up with them.

For the longest time, elystia and I were trying to figure out what "mobium" is much less why the ship was named that. Still don't know. XDD

[yuidirnt]

I always thought it was a Latin word or something, but just checked and nope, it isn't ._. but mobius is the name of a facial paralysis XD

[chrysa]

LOL, I tried to google for it, and it was like Asian Oil Company!! Us: ....bzuh?

[llivla]

Bwah. BWAHAHAHHAHAHA.

IDK, maybe it's what fangirls experience confronted with that yum image?

[llivla]

Tendershipping: Maybe because a lot of DarkBakura/Ryou fangirls went nuts at the moment in Battle City when Bakura defended his host and took the pwn banishment on himself? \0/ IDK, I was more of a Anzu(Téa)/Ryou crack whore. *g*

[grandlarseny]

My kinda crack whore! XD

[llivla]

I already kinda shipped it but when I was rewatching a subbed ep from Duelist Kingdom last year where Bakura let out this whine because he has to climb the tower blind-folded and Anzu's all bossy I was hit upside the head with all this kinky stuff. *g*

(although thinking of that stuff and then looking at your icon took me to a scary place D: D: D:)
