@Forestofglory Imo, you could easily define "ship" as "I enjoy the dynamic of these two characters interacting in whatever capacity."
@lirazel I'm not sure it would work for the current meme
But I do like this way of looking at it! (I'm frequently annoyed at the romance centrism of fandom)
@Forestofglory @lirazel I did find an aro shipping board! Maybe that one could work?
@xieliansbignaturals @lirazel That might be fun
@Forestofglory @lirazel I haven't looked over it, but here: https://www.tumblr.com/hairscare/726046340096868352/made-a-ship-bingo-for-my-arospec-brethren
@xieliansbignaturals @Forestofglory @lirazel hmmm that one does look fun but I feel like it still is inherently about shipping to a degree. I would also love a bingo board about all kinds of character relationships! I enjoy the shipping but it has never been my only interest
@soph_sol @Forestofglory @lirazel Maybe one of us could make our own? I like other things, too, I just like shipping *most*.
@lirazel @soph_sol @Forestofglory @xieliansbignaturals some niche non-romantic relationship vibes:
- i’d trust you with my life but not with the last cookie
- seemingly have their own language incomprehensible to the rest of us
- we slept with the same asshole and now have a weird bond of solidarity as a result
@Satsuma @soph_sol @Forestofglory @xieliansbignaturals
That last one is so good!
I also love Big Divorced Energy, even though they were never married.
@Forestofglory @soph_sol @xieliansbignaturals @lirazel sometimes you can just skip the relationship and go straight to the inevitable result 😆
@Satsuma @lirazel @Forestofglory @xieliansbignaturals I adore all of these
