So! Current fav ships are—
Spirk or K/S, because I will never pass up pining gays in space. Also McSpirk because those old men yearn.
Clex/Superlex, because no one will ever convince me that Lex doesn’t wanna fuck that alien farm boy.
Batjokes, obviously. The whole motif of Joker being jealous of Selina, mixed with the fact they intentionally made him flamboyant/gay stereotyped lives rent free in my head okay?
Bonus!
The first ship I remember ever having was definitely Drarry. They are so gay girl, my god.
I don’t really have any new ships, but I have been refocused on Clex due to the 2025 Superman movie.

Oh boy, here we go, new and old faves, in no order:
Changbin and Hyunjin from Stray Kids
They live together; they call each other 'wife'; Changbin constantly romances Hyunjin; Hyunjin gets very handsy on stage; Changbin is a full 12 cm shorter than Hyunjin. I just think they're neat.
Claus and Dave from The Umbrella Academy
I'm sure everyone has moved on from this, but I'll never get over the tragic poetry of falling in love with someone from a different timeline; and even if you have access to time travel, even if you could find them again, how can your love ever be the same, when having it back inevitably means that you'll change it?
Ian and Anthony from Smosh
Look, you had to know this was coming. I ship them any which way; I just want them to be happily in each others lives. When they announced that they had bought back Smosh, I was happy; but the most important thing was that they were friends again.
The first ship I can remember rooting for was Buffy and Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As an adult, I realize that Spike wasn't just a bad boy but a bad person (for most of the show), but as a teen I just thought he was dreamy. Way better than that mopey Angel anyway.
The ship I most recently got into is Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen. Most of the credit goes to the fanfiction authors, because they get a lot of mileage out of their interactions. Itadori is a flailing idiot with a heart of gold, and Fushiguro is a highly skilled professional who can sometimes come off cold; that's a dynamic that'll always get me.

My top ships are too embarrassing to admit x33 but the like, well known top ships that I have are obviously:
PHAN
IANTHONY (this gif was in response to my mid ass fic they read xD I call this A VICTORY FOR THE IANTHONY FANDOM)
AMANGELA
all three have the element of best friends, which I just adore. I think a best friend should be able to fully take over as a partner if need be, and loves unconditionally like a partner does. that's your ride or die, baby! Maybe I'm wrong but that's just my opinion.
the first ship I was rooting for was Delena! It was a toxic, dramatic, problematic, manipulative ship lmao, not to mention murderous! but listen,,, hear me out
most recently I rediscovered a really beautiful ship which I will not elaborate on any further xxxx33333

Oh I have to think here. I pretty much don't ship at all but I'll do my best.
My top 3 favorite ships
(aka 3 ships that I remembered liking)
Ineffable Husbands
Absolutely adorable no question. Only romcom I remember watching all on my own so that says something. The are just so cute. Its so sad what we are left with after they canceledut. With all this heartbreak (including MY heart) it would have almost been better if they stopped after season 1 🥹
Entrapdak
The villain getting redemption, a happy end AND a girlfriend? Dont think I've seen since again ever since and I've rooted for them since the beginning.
Jopper
I absolutely love hopper and I just want him to be happy and I feel like him with Joyce and Eleven would be THE best found family. The only ship who's ending is still unknown.
Bonus question 💫
If I remembered correctly it was actually zutara. I don't know I really liked zuko and I wanted him to get the girl. Blus I liked how their relationship developed.
Its not directly a ship I got into recently and more a ship that I remembered liking. That ship being jopper. I just started the 5th season with @screaming-sparrow and remembered how cute I find them together

ohhh boy. can you tell im gay myself from these
1. clegan. added bonus of curtbuckies because its about loyalty and love like a dog through horrors and death. its about yearning and fear and desperation. its about giving someone your own name moments after meeting them because you know you're fated to always be by his side
2. stucky. sorry im an og. similar reasons. can you see a theme 🙈 and the added bonus of being two people out of time! you're the only two people living the same dissonance. feeling the same loss
3. booth/brennan. i dunno if they have a different ship name they probably do lol. its about defying odds! about arguing and disagreeing and overcoming it with love and also the other one is Wrong and I am Right. its about the red string of fate. its about shared traumas. its about the thought of losing the other person driving you to the brink and blinding rage.
bonusss
my first ship was, of course, daforge at the young age of very young. that robot and engineer... its about humanity. its about being different. its about someone who sees you as a whole flawed person. its about looking at someone and he GLOWS.
most recently... ranson/stockroom syndrome. its about fear and lust and desperation again. its about being absolutely doomed. one of us will die. he may kill you but you can see his pain and what hes desperately trying to find and his hopelessness. you cant help but want him happy not because it'll save you but because hes deserved it and never gotten it.
I have so so many ships, so I will try to focus my top 3 on those where I seek out fanfics for most often:
Spirk (Star Trek TOS) 💙💛
Idk, nothing can top this ship imo. It is the OG! and for good reason. I love TOS the most, but I gotta say that the AOS dynamic also hits good. Like Spirk is my exception to the "I'm not that into purely friends to lovers ships" and AOS kind of creates a loophole there xD
2. Clex (Smallville, LdoLL and DCEU) 💙❤️💜💚
I was obsessed with them in Smallville back when I was like 16 and now I have come full circle back to them again <333
3. Coldflash (The Flash, Legends of Tmrw) ❤️💛💙🤍
this spot changes all the time, but rn I am obsessed with this ship again!! I don't even know why but smth randomly reminded me of it and now I am having 24/7 brainworms about them. (I thank Wentworth Miller so much for the energy he put into his performance as Captain Cold like- and also the writers for making so many decisions to portray their dynamic the way they did-)
Honorable mentions:
Stucky (it brings me to much pain- I cannot put it in my top 3... however I will seek out shrinkyclinks fanfics every couple months or so), Gelphie (!!my darlings almost made the top 3 bc I think about them so much), Hörk (Spatort <3), Zutara, 00Q (literally starting a gigantic cross stitch project bc of them), Steter ofc (also huge consideration for spot 3 - I already shipped them in recent years, but the teen wolf rewatch with @screaming-sparrow made those brainworms so much worse), Sabriel (and if I said that I love these two more than destiel-) and so so many more...
Bonus questions:
What was your first ever ship you remember rooting for?
Oh, I was always lowkey a freak who was into inappropriate hero/villain relationships, so my first ever ship was Bloom & Valtor (Winx Club). I didn't know what shipping was back then (at like 8??) but I wanted Bloom to make some terrible decisions-
What ship did you get into most recently?
Probably some ships from the Pitt... mostly Kingdon and Hucklerobby (and Rabott) tho I also really love Mentos!

What ship did you get into most recently?
this is so hard simply bc i haven't been in a hardcore shipping mode for a while so here's a few random ones i enjoy
greg/alex (taskmaster). i don't even think this one counts as rpf anymore. i don't know what to call it but it's important
ethan/benny (my babysitter's a vampire). i haven't seen this show for a few years but this ship was always so precious to me.
steve/bucky (mcu). this one's just obligatory as someone who was a teenager around the time of CACW
BONUS:
omg i remember hardcore rooting for kendall and jo when big time rush was on air. they were so cute ..
my brain recently decided it wanted to start shipping thomas thorne w/ the captain (ghosts) despite them only ever arguing in the show. but it has so much POTENTIAL. like they would be nice to each other if they were nicer .... yk ..

Top three ships:
1. Clex!! That's actually how I was introduced to these asks, through the Clex community. But yeah, in Smallville the two of them are absolutely insane and it's so fascinating.
2. Sam and Jack from Stargate. I forgot about them for a little while but rewatching the show is like yeah. I absolutely stand by that decision.
3. Drowley (Dean and Crowley from supernatural) this is kind of a random one but I do genuinely see so much potential for them, whether they make each other worse or somehow better. It's entertaining in all formats even when it shouldn't be.
BONUS:
First ship: Sam x Jack. Not much to say, they're perfect for each other.
Most recent ship: probably Clark and Lex. I started watching Smallville earlier this year and INSTANTLY got into that relationship without even trying.
