Is it normal to ship characters on tv shows and in movies?

23 Comments

If you don't know what shipping is , here's a definition from urban dictionary:

shipping
A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)
It generally uses the initials of the characters shipped or a combination of the names, though this is not a rule.

No that's weird 14
yes its normal 22
(male) yes , I do it all the time 5
(female) yes , I do it all the time 22
yes its normal but a waste of time 16
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't SugarlessGum another name for Marceline/Princess Bubblegum (or in the gender swapped case, Marshall Lee/Prince Gumball)?

            Yay! My friend does the real SugarlessGum, but when I found out about GumLee, I said, "It's the same thing, but better! Has the same characters, but in a gay version!"

    I really like crossover ships (where you take two characters from different shows/movies/games/etc and make them a couple)

    My favorites are...

    Wilson/Daniel (Don't Starve/Amnesia: The Dark Descent)

    Maxwell/Alexander (Don't Starve/Amnesia: The Dark Descent)

    Guile/Lt. Surge (Street Fighter/Pokemon)

    GLaDOS/Clarence (Portal/Penumbra: Black Plague)

    Pruzaya (Prussia/Izaya) (Hetalia/Durarara)

    But I also like regular pairings too, and my favorites are:

    Hetalia

    RoChu (Russia/China)

    GerIta (Germany/Italy)

    PruAus (Prussia/Austria)

    America/Japan (Don't know the ship name for that one)

    Pokemon

    ToxicBoltShipping (Lt. Surge/Koga)

    YinAndYangShipping (Giovanni/Professor Oak)

    Also, can anyone tell how much I love yaoi? Because I really love yaoi. In case it wasn't, y'know, completely obvious.

    Shippings probably why the Supernatural fandom is always in an uproar.

      Have you see the From Dusk Till Dawn series? The two main characters remind me of criminal/evil types of Sam and Dean. I would love a crossover with those four.

        Dusk till dawn sounds familiar but I've never seen it before. Are the movies good?

          The first one is, the others not so much, but I am talking more so about the new series that came out recently. :)

    I'm a bit confused if I have this right. Is shipping when you cross two characters into one character as if you were to clone both characters genetics into one person?

    I understand the concept but never heard this term.

      No, it's where you want two charters to be in a relationship.

    If it has an entry on Urban Dictionary, it's normal. Although it doesn't interest me personally.

    Normal. I used to ship Spandy (SpongeBob and Sandy) back when I thought the show was still good.
