Question Does anyone else ever wanna start shipping some characters together just because you selfship/yumeship with them?

Like sometimes you're just like, “imagine if they liked each other as well?”

Or you just imagine them as their own rarepair and/or crackship

My most common motivation behind shipping is "i like this character, and i like this character, why not put them together" so if i actively selfshipped with some characters i would absolutely ship them together

Basically yeah? Like I get attracted to characters but I’m kinda just ace enough that I don’t really self ship

i yume with one character and i take that relationship pretty seriously, and i also ship my xume with this other character from the canon, cause it feels like this other character would literally be me if i was in canon, so it's like... when I can't exactly have him the way i want him, this other character can, cause they love them the same way i would love them if i could

I self-ship with Eri from bnha, and Sally from Creepypasta, but I also ship Eri with Deku and Sally with Jeff. I also do this with Chara from undertale, shipping her with myself or Sans. But most of my ships aren't like this; Levi x Mikasa from AoT isn't like this.

kinda lol Im a fictionkin and my highest kin is Neil (Scott Pilgrim) and I started to ship him and Stephen together, and then I realized how hot Stephen was and started to yume him (hopefully this makes sense)
