Some people seem to be new to shipping, so some free info about shipping FICTIONAL characters:
1. A shipped pairing does not have to have canonical validation, they do not need "chemistry" or anything else. (That's kinda the point, you ship them, because the show does not).
2. A canon pairing is not by default better or superior, what matters is personal preference.
3. The shipped characters do not have to agree to being shipped together! This might seem weird, but some people actually forget that fictional characters do not exist.
4. The creators/writers/actors do not have to agree to the shipped pairing. (Also kinda the point, they didn't bring them together, so you do). Just keep that stuff to yourself and don't pester them with it and you can do whatever you want.
5. You can absolutely ship pairings from different fictional sources. Crossovers are fun.
6. You can use any scene from canon for your pairing, it doesn't have to fit, it's your fantasy.
7. You can switch genders and sexual orientation of your pairing. Again, it's a fantasy, it doesn't change canon and how the GA views canon, so it doesn't matter. (This means swapping a canonical queer pairing/ character to straight in your fantasy does not take away the actual show's representation. Swapping a straight pairing/character to queer in your fantasy does not add representation).
8. Shipping something does not mean you want that dynamic in real life.
9. You do not need a specific reason for shipping, it's your fantasy, any reason is valid. It goes from kink to spite, covering anything in between.
10. You won't convince others to stop shipping something, because you don't like it or get them to ship your ship simply by spamming it. So tag your stuff, blacklist what you don't like and leave eachother alone.
Enjoy!
