15. Have you ever “shipped at first sight”?
I feel like probably a lot of my ships fall into this category, haha – I go into a lot of things with my shipper glasses firmly on. Not particularly when I got into F1, I have to say, but it definitely happened with Yasuba – I remember watching clips on YouTube, and when Subaru and Yasu were being very touchy-feely during Do You Agree? from the Heat Up DVD I was like “Oh, I see there might be something for me here~~” And a pairing like Pete and Carl is one anyone can ship from a single picture without even knowing who they are ;3
19. Have you ever shipped something despite yourself?
Again, yes, because those shipper glasses are a curse as well as a blessing, haha. Eg Geoffrey Boycott and Jonathan Agnew from Test Match Special -_- Geoffrey is a terrible old curmudgeon and Jonathan loves to wind him up and they’re bffs and Geoffrey’s always saying how much he loves him despite the teasing. I didn’t ask for this ship but I can’t help but see it D;
28. Does shipping come easily to you?
Ha, I think we’ve established that yes, yes it does, for better or worse, lol. If I see a good ship I can get dragged into all sorts of nonsense very quickly. I shipped things before I even knew shipping was a thing, and thought I was a freak before I realised there were lots of other freaks like me out there too 🙂
29. Do you need to ship something to really enjoy a movie/book/tv show/comic?
I do enjoy things very much where I don’t ship anything, but oftentimes I end up with a ship whether I looked for it or not, lol, and I do feel it enriches the whole experience.
Thanks!
