The important thing about shipping is to have fun with it and not get mad when the series doesn't have the same ones.
The more important thing is to write a fanfic in retaliation to your ship not happening. I know I'd do that.

Hey, long time no see!
I've been cripplingly depressed about not having a Switch/Smash Ultimate yet doing fine, what about you? :D
I had a great January month.
I helped people both online and IRL, I went out with my friends a lot, I improved as a person, Fantastic Four Week was a thing, Retro Studios isn’t closing in the near future, and many more things.

At the moment, I am having a mental fight with myself to take off my mind a certain European law that may or may not be passed, but everything else is going better than in 2018 for me.

I remember when one WiiU screenshot lead to the default ship in the community being :ultlucina:x:ultpalutena:
The only femslash ship :ultlucina: is getting is Severa and I will defend that to the day I die.

I'm not even a shipper or a femslash enthusiast, whatever the term for that is. They're just perfect and it's my headcanon and shutup.

Didn't fanfictions pretty much start like that?
I'd wager for that to be the case. The only non-self-insert ship fic I've heavily disliked is one where Ridley and Samus attends a High School together.

Self-insert ships generally aren't good anyway unless it's Divine Comedy

I don't get self-insert fics. You're a dull person from a dull world, let the cool characters from fiction do their thing.

Then again, I have a low opinion of myself so it's probably a mindset thing.

:pirateship: The greatest ship of all
A really underated ship is the one from Wuuhu Island. I blame it on the stage taking too long to stop there.

Speaking of, notice how in some Spirit battles stages stay on on part of traveling stages? Why isn't there an option for that in regular battles?

The sad thing is that there is quite a bit of good fanfiction smothered beneath the fluff fantasy-fulfillment stories.

One of my favorites when I was in college was this, like, forever-long novelization of Mass Effect 1 & 2 that then moved on to their own version of ME3 before that game came out. It was actually much, much better than the real ME3.

I haven't read any fanfiction in years though. It got tiring trying to look for good ones.

"Touch my butt Angela" Wario sighed as he bent his massive posterior towards the young woman.

"So lewd my sweet." cooed Angela as her delicate fingers danced a top the husky man's rear .

(I have no shame only pride in the trash I produce)

Oh I've had crushes on fictional characters. But I could never overcome the shattered suspense of disbelief that'd be required to write such a thing.

I pretty much feel the same way. Self-inserts are so easy to spot too, which makes them even more cringy to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cla stop opressing gamers, they've been discriminated by the US president, nobody else can understand that kind of discrimination
I'll tell you who are more oppressed than Gamers.

Female characters in MK :troll:

I know that feeling. I once read a "after the game" story for Persona 5 and it was probably better than anything ATLUS can came up with. Though, I usually don't look into canon setting stuff, it's more fun when author has more freedom.

And you know what they say: Only 10% of fanfiction is good and it's worth going through the rest.

Smash ships are weird because 90% of the characters either have significant others in their home universes or are animals so these are the characters in Smash you can legally ship without it being weird:
:ultbowser::ultfalcon::ultcorrin::ultcorrinf::ultganondorf::ultlittlemac::ultpalutena::ultrobin::ultrobinf::ultrosalina::ultsamus::ultwario::ultwiifittrainer::ultwiifittrainerm::ultwolf:
These characters are all consenting adults who have no canonical relationships. And also aren't animals. Bowser and Wolf are just scaly and furry, respectively, they don't count.
Anyone want to join my arena?

I've had a Dragon Age II continuation story fully fleshed out in my head for the last, like, five or six years. I really should write it.

I wanted to be a novelist when I was younger. I don't know when that dream died.

Heyyyyyyy

Well, some of us have no hope of getting a real-life boyfriend or girlfriend You're reading a post by one of those people right now
In my experience, that makes every girl at my university effectively a fictional character

Well Bowser did have a relationship at one point but is now left as a single father.

Just getting all the technicallities sorted out.

I know that very well and it's why he's there first because Jr. and his other 7 neglected children need another parent that won't leave them like Miyamoto did.

Probably because most people think like you. A lot of people still ship Zelda with adults, even though she's supposed to be a teenager now.

Am I the only one that likes TP Zelda over LttP Zelda? I like her more adult and mature look. I also liked her with the purple dress better.

Shipping Samus with the killer of her parents (Who also wants her dead) is always a bad idea
