starfishshipping

"Starfishshipping" (or "Starfishipping" for short) appears on no shipping lists aside from a forum game someone played once, has no posts tagged with it, and turns up nearly nothing in search results once you add "yugioh" to it.

I propose we adopt this name for all the starfish people selfcest pairings that don't have their own. Like Wicked Avatar Yuugi/Yami, or...um...Atem/S0!Yami/DM!Yami/Yuugi/GX!Yuugi. Which I'm sure someone ships. And maybe Henry could get in on this, I mean why not. This way there'd be a tag to browse.

My five days of activity in this fandom qualify me to name entire categories of things other people ship.

y/n?

Doctor Who:

main character has been played by around 15 actors, 11 in the main show, several of them attractive young men

different versions of him have met in canon

show is about time travel

there is cloning in canon, including at least one clone of the main character

result: nobody ships Doctor/Doctor, Doctor/Doctor fic almost unheard of and usually a joke

Yu-Gi-Oh:

two guys have similar hair
