i’ve seen ship memes like these passed around, but none for ot3s, so i decided to do my own! feel free to use, no need to tag me~ it’s a little barebones, but i felt like less to fill out was a fair compensation for the fact that you do it for 3 ppl lol
i’ve been idly browsing ship memes for funsies and found mostly cutesy and lovey-dovey stuff, which is great, but. where’s the ship memes for the bitter exes. for the mutual idiots. for the codependent problematic faves. so i made one! open for use, please feel free to spread widely/crosspost and edit as you need! i’m planning to make an ot3 version too
definitely inspired by that terrible otp template made by otp_memes on twitter bc that’s exactly the vibe i’m going for
Sheet originally made by thunderin-brainstorm (you can find the original template here!), this one features a couple slight changes plus a Skyrim UI-inspired design. Open it in an editing program and fill it in for any ship, using different coloured markers of your choice to specify where each character falls! Have fun!
a shipping template (a fancy + a simplified/more readable version) that I made for fun
so here! have fun too :3
originally inspired by @awfulalignmentcharts and [their ship chart]; I borrowed the general layout and some of the wording, otherwise the graphics & rest of the words is me ^^
more + explanations down under vvv
> a general note: you can fill this thing out any way you want; you can write the answers, draw them, you also don't have to fill out everything, and you can even delete/replace stuff you don't like (it's not like I'd be able to stop you lol) ((also the title, you can edit the [--] or the whole thing too))
> you don't need to tag me or reblog the post if you fill it out
> if anyone wants a different combination of the graphical parts or different font or something else let me know, I'll see what I can do <3
= Explanations =
(I explained everything just to be sure, feel free to skip parts)

Some ship templates I made because none had what I was looking for + there were no high quality 3 person poly ones
someone please use em I didn't spend 2 hours doing them for nothing
Other way of getting the files in case it isn't transparent on tumblr + non transparent ones
Blank for your shipping pleasures. Source in the alt text. I couldn’t find some of the creators of the templates so if you know them, let know and I’ll add them ASAP! If a template creator wants their work removed, please contact me and I'll remove it immediately.
where do your ocs fall on here
- the "never stops searching" and "gives up easily" one is about if the other goes missing
(this works for platonic/more than 2!!)
