Shipping - my rules & guidelines!

Posted 7 years, 5 months ago by Aqua

Since I have SO many basis when it comes to shipping with me, I feel like I just need to make my own section about it L O L anyway~

 

General things-

 

  • Most (but not all!) of my OCs are singleship/monogamous - What does this mean? It means if you ship with my OC, my OC will forever and always be paired with yours. Even if I do multiple AUs with said OC, they will still be romantically involved with yours.

 

  • “I multiship my OCs, can we still ship?” - WELL…. Maybe. A huge maybe. Usually, this is a straight up no, as I feel better if the other OC is also monogamous. However, I have made some exceptions in the past, and I may still do so now. That’s usually for closer friends, but there’s no harm in asking? The worst I’ll do is politely say no anyway.

 

  • Gender preference - I...Honestly don’t have one? Or, a huge one at least. I admit, I do have a somewhat noticeable preference for lesbian and hetero ships, but don’t let this sway you! I absolutely LOVE variety and I adore every single ship I have, and let me tell you, I have a fair amount of maleXmale and non-binary involved ships to fill a couple cruise ships.

 

 

  • I won’t ship underaged OCs with OCs of age because yeah no wtf um

 

 

  • “Can I ship my OC with yours even though your OC is shipped with a canon character-” - NOPE NOPE NOPE NOT ever. I don’t care if you dislike/not keen on OCXCanon, I adore all my OCXCanon ships and will never part with them. Please respect this. This also applies to OCs shipped off with other OCs but that should already go without saying.

 

  • My OCs are very shuffled, and so… - Make sure you read up on the OC before you ask for a ship. Some are easy enough to date, some will need some time, some are NEIGH IMPOSSIBLE to ship with, due to it being just as they are. I will not make anyone easier to ship with for no one.

 

  • Related to the previous statement… - Just because I may give you a chance to ship with one of my OCs, does NOT guarantee you will get a ship. I’m not severely picky, but still picky enough, and for good reason. I refuse to have my OCs settle with just any OC. After all, I’m serious about my ships, so I want to make sure they truly found their perfect match.

 

  • “I really like one of your OCs, but I don’t have a fitting OC on me for them. Could I make them a love interest?” - also a HUGE maybe. Ask, but keep in mind about half of my OCs I feel can’t have a “love interest made just for them”.

 

  • Smut = Prefered but NOT required - I mean, I won’t lie. I enjoy smut. A lot. However! I will never force anyone to participate in it,especially if it makes them uncomfortable. And this does not mean you can’t ship with me, I will gladly go for a ship without sexual additions. But some of my OCs need sexual relations, so just look at them thoroughly first!
  • No communication = no ship - I won’t lie, I’ve done this with a couple of people in the past, so thus I know it’s a shitty thing to do to someone. Thus, I’ve gotten a lot better about communicating with my shipmates. Therefore, if I find you don’t even try to maintain the ship or help me develop it, I’ll just drop it after a couple months. Like, why would I keep trying for a ship if I’m not getting a 50/50 commitment? A waste of time, if you ask me

 

  • And of course, my ships are for good - I don’t plan on ever breaking up any ship I ever make, and so I expect you to always keep them as well. It’s a bit silly to develop a ship for a year then drop it for no reason. Why wouldn’t you want to keep a ship?

 

  • I will invest in the ship! - AKA I will buy art, write things and keep records of headcanons about them. I really enjoy going out all for my babies!

 

 

Shipping themes I favor-

 

  • Vampire-involved couples (MMMMMMMMMM MAN I JUST-)

 

  • Interspecies or interracial couples (FUCK ME I JUST LOVE LOVE SEEING TWO PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RACES OR SPECIES BONDING THROUGH LOVE IT FIRES ME UP SO MUCH I WANT 500 SHIPS OF THIS, BONUS POINTS IF IT’S A GAY SHIP TOO)

 

  • Fantasy/supernatural ships  (A lot of my OCs aren’t human so yeah, kinda needed haha)

 

  • Master/boss getting with their servant/worker (Cliche as hell yes, but I REALLY find it too cute)

 

  • Fan dating their idol (ALSO cliche as hell but hEY I’M A CHEESEBALL)

 

  • Age difference (NOTHING TOO OUT THERE LOL I just find it cute when I see younger adults getting with older people (hot dads and moms ya know L M A O)

 

 

Shipping themes I will never do-

 

  • Abuse (I don’t really think abusive ships are “hot” or “exciting” or whatever shit people say about them. I wont’ shame people who ship such ships, but they really aren’t for me. I rather have a mutual consent and loving relationship between OCs. Don’t confuse this for “a couple that’s not that romantic but still love each other” because that’s definitely different)

 

 

  • Ships that require a kink I do not like, AKA scat, vore, etc

 

 

  • One-sided relationships for the long term (Like I’m totally okay if you want to plot out a OC crushing on yours and it turns into this kinda angsty ordeal of feelings being rejected and all that, but I don’t want to do a situation where it’s going to be a lovelorn thing forever. That would get boring fast and I would rather my OC move on and finally find someone they could be with, and I’m sure you’d want the same.)

 

  • Purely sexual ships (I mean if you want some one-night stand RPs, you can talk to me about it. But if you want a ship with no emotions involved and pure sex, then I’m not your girl. As much as I enjoy porn, I really would get bored of it quickly, as I love a balance of emotions and sex in a relationship)
