Tales of Zestiria - DEZEL AND ROSE. And funny story about this… I actually wasn’t that interested in shipping them from the get-go. Even as the game progressed, I told myself I wasn’t going to do it and with me being someone who usually needs a lot of convincing to ship anything, avoidance should’ve been easy, right? Initially, Dezel just sort of seemed like that one guy who plays big brother to everyone. Or that grumpy uncle who yells a lot when the rest of the family misbehaves. But then there was that one battle victory quote from him where he said, “I’ve been too sweet on you, Rose.” And the “Protective Wind” DLC skit. AND OF COURSE THAT AWFUL NIGHT IN PENDRAGO. My brain interpreted it all as him crushing on Rose and I started shipping it. Then the ship consumed me and I haven’t been able to escape it since.
ToZ Honorary mention - Sorey and Mikleo. Because those nerds are adorable and they belong together. <3
Star Wars Rebels - Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla. They’re fucking space married with a big adopted family of one son, one daughter, a purple furred uncle and an orange murderbot. Pfft.
Generator Rex - Six and Holiday. They actually went out once before Six’s memory was wiped. Then he fell in love with her again and flailed around, trying to do something about it and never quite managed, but I felt it was clear the love between them was still there.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series - Razer and Aya. Absolutely 1000% canon and tragic as hell.
BONUS! Cross-canon from RP stuff - Rex (from Generator Rex) and Korra (from Legend of Korra). I had way too much fun playing in both games and memes across from two lovely Korra players who were willing to ship with my Rex. The characters are similar enough to get along very well, but just different enough to keep things interesting.
E: Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?
Ehhh… not anything recently. You know I wrote some crack fic waaaay back in my Suikoden fandom days, but that’s all I can think of off-hand.
I: Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
I wouldn’t say tumblr has caused me to actually stop liking the actual canon/source material itself, but I was definitely bothered by some of the behavior I witnessed in the Legend of Korra fandom. As to the why, I’ll just say “shipping” and leave it at that.
O: Choose a song at random, what ship does it remind you of?
AIMP has chosen Erasure’s “Stop!” at random! And I’m going to say Dezel/Rose, specifically as they’re paired over at Emp since they’ve essentially been allowed to remain together there despite canon and finally have a chance at being happy with one another.
U: What are your favorite male/female ships?
The two I’ve been the most heavily invested in over recent years have been Dezel/Rose and Rex/Korra!
