we want an extended version of that rip ship list that you made because you left some good mcfreaking options out of there kale
That is true, Ivory. So I shall add a few just for you:
Rip Hunter/Charles McNider - Time Owl - This ship is my baby. I base it on the fact that RIP HUNTER of all people apparently confided with McNider about his distrust of the Time Masters before they turned on him.
This is RIP HUNTER. CONFIDING. IN A HUMAN BEING.
So I ship it. I mean, granted, Rip was married and Charles is dead, but I have read a shit ton of comics, so I know death in the DC universe is a temporary obstacle. When Charles is alive again, there will be so much potential.
Also massive amounts of angst and guilt.
Rip Hunter/Henry Heywood - Time Steel (Grandpappy Version) - See McNider. Henry apparently knew about Rip’s family. So again, we have an instance of Rip willingly confiding in a human being. Also, Henry has the honor of being the ONLY person to actually apologize for punching Rip in the face.
So, y’know, post resurrection, there’s lots of possibilities here too. Also it would traumatize Nate.
Rip Hunter/John Constantine - TimeBlazer? ConstanTime? - Clash of the skinny trenchcoat wearing brits. Honestly, I’ve said before that I think, based on their respective personalities, Rip and John probably hate each other in that way that’s about 1.5 Tequila shots away from a really ill-advised liaison.
Also, imagine the awkwardness when it comes out that Rip and Sara slept with the same guy.
And possibly Mick making the comment about Rip basically fucking himself.
Rip Hunter/The Fictionalized Version of JRR Tolkien. I generally feel very guilty whenever I ship real figures, historical or modern. But I kind of feel like the show did it for me. You saw Tolkien’s face during Rip’s speech. Enough said.
