N.B.: These are all MY OPINION and NOT objective analysis. Feel free to disagree and comment / reblog with your own ratings and ships. Please be respectful of everyone’s opinions and for the love of god don’t start a shipping war in my comment section. One of the best parts of this fandom is the variety of interpretations of these characters, so please don’t harass someone for having a different interpretation than you. Wit the said…
1. Jane the Killer x Jeff the Killer - 3/10
i understand why this one is popular. i do love a good enemies to lovers ship
my issue is just. well one i tend to prefer the richardson interpretation of jane to the arkensaw one and richardson is a canonical lesbian but also. somethin about it just doesn’t do it for me tbh
like i feel like a lot of people kinda. shipped them together initially without knowing much about jane because of how similar their names are and when they learned about her backstory they just kinda. handwaved it away. and often jane kinda loses. idk the word. agency? personality? somethin like that.
i do feel like there are instances where this can work but i feel like you’d have to change both characters a whole lot to get there. jane is someone kinda defined by her hatred of jeff and i feel like something is lost if you just convert that to love.
and i know the sorta. toxic-ness and the hate-rom is kinda part of the appeal but eh. it just doesn’t really work for me unfortunately
Tim (Masky) x Brian (Hoodie) - 9/10
see now we’re fuckin talking
two best friends. both sharing the same affliction. both facing the same demons. people who know each other better than anyone else in the whole world
as well as the drama!! tim lying to brian about how he first came into contact with the operator and that tearing a rift in their relationship but they hoth still clearly care about each other????????
i’m insane. good food. i should rewatch marble hornets. next:
Clockwork x ‘Ticci’ Toby - 7/10
honestly i kinda fuck with the more as besties than i do as lovers
like don’t get me wrong i understand the ship i think it’s pretty good
but there is a part of me that is like. idk if clockwork would ever date a man fhdhdhd
i know she does in her original story but she strikes me as a lesbian so like. whatever not important
romantically while not my favorite i do see the appeal and i think it can be quite sweet.
also wasn’t there like. a plotline by one of the original writers where clockwork gets like. zalgo-possessed and kills toby?? idk if im remembering wrong but that’s tragic and dramatic as fuck and i eat that shit up
Nina the Killer x Kate the Chaser: 10/10
thing about me is i love contrasts. and fuckin. bubbly ass nina next to stoic depressed kate is real good for me
also i think kate deserves this. she’s been through a lot of shit let her have a cute scene girl to kiss and to probably comit several crimes with
i also headcanon kate as having body dysmorphia due to the scars that are on her model in slender: the arrival and just general mental illness party caused by slender and. well. nina finds her beautiful. the same way she finds herself and jeff beautiful. anyways
Nina the Killer x Jane the Killer: 9.5/10
same thing i said about kate and nina and opposites but like. instead of just personalities it’s also styles. goth x scene is cute as hell idk what else to say
i like it slightly less than nina kate mostly cause. all of the stuff i’ve scene for nina/kate is really fucking good and i haven’t seen as much for this ship but still. real good.
Tim (Masky) x Jay (Marble Hornets): 9/10
i love me a good tragedy. that’s all i have to say on that.
idk. they have the most screen time together i think in marble hornets so like. obviously they’re gonna have the most well established dynamic.
they’re also both freaks. jay i love you my man why are you stalking this guy outside of his doctors appointment 😭 why are you POSTING his MEDICAL RECORDS online
and like. despite that. they still form a close bond. one that is very quickly and unceremoniously shattered. and tim is left alone. all alone. to pick up the pieces.
Clockwork x Me: 100000000/10
fuck you i don’t have to explain myself LOOK AT HER.
this one’s a joke mostly i don’t really read x reader fics. thats what making ocs are for
I know this is real short and certainly missing things so feel free to ask me my thoughts on other ships in the comments / reblogs / my askbox!!
