16. Talk about a ship you initially disliked.
Hmm, I can’t remember one I *dis*liked that I came to like (though I’m sure it has happened lol), but there’s definitely ones I initially dismissed in favour of something else, but then it turned out there was less fic for the other thing so I eventually got on board the bigger ship, lol. Heero/Duo is definitely an example of that! Thought I’d be all hipster and ship some rare pair, but quickly realised that’s a lonely furrow to plough (as it were) and caved into shipping the popular pairing with lots of fic.
17. Talk about a pairing you’ve stopped shipping romantically.
Matt/Cal, and I don’t even really know why! I know I kind of went off Cal, possibly cos of him being friends with Jack Miller/being a bit of a nob in general, plus they got separated by Matt going over to superbike coverage, so that ship sank for me.
18. Talk about a moment which made you question an entire ship.
This isn’t something that happens to me, lol. I have long since perfected the art of erasing uncomfortable or incompatible happenings, thoughts, or possibilities in order to preserve my ships, haha.
19. Have you ever shipped something despite yourself?
Just answered this one!
20. Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping.
EVERY WRESTLING SHIP EVER, though wrestling ships do tend to sink rapidly and frequently due to the ends of old feuds/alliances, and the beginnings of new ones. EC3/Rockstar Spud was my favourite, though that sank long ago. “I can ship this *clap clap clapclapclap*” is something I frequently chant under my breath at wrestling shows, lol. I mean what else can you think, with all the grappling and nudity and pinning and all??
Thank you!
