How would you (the creator) describe each ship with Agent?
Long post ahead describing four (count em 4) ships so buckle tf up.
Spagent is a ship where they’re similar, and equal in power. One can’t control the other because they’re both wily little shits. Agent can be sarcastic and Spy shoot right back with a stellar comeback (or vice versa), and neither of them are hurt or offended. It also has the potential for lots of drama and angst since they have similar ooh secretive careers. Spies and secret agents IRL aren’t all that different. This is the ship that I gravitate towards when I think of dramatic situations/prompts.
Ageneer is a ship for wholesome, domestic goodness. I’ve already described how I love the Tall Dangerous Woman gets with Short Goofy Guy trope, so I implement it in the ship. Sometimes you need cute, homey fluff without sass or slow-burn. It’s not really a pairing with dramatic potential unless you delve into the comics, but sometimes you need a break from drama.
Pagent is a ship I haven’t given as much thought as the first two, but I have definitely thought about it in different prompts and situations. The idea of Ms Pauling not having time for relationships and suddenly wanting one and thinking “oh no” has a lot of facets. Agent definitely teases and flirts, but once they both realize they’ve caught feelings, that’s when sincere emotions can grow. This is a pairing with lots of slow-burn, mutual pining potential.
Yanagent is a ship I haven’t thought about outside of drawing them, but I do adore how warm and loving it could be. A sleek, lithe secret agent and a huge, protective and independent woman has lots of contrast, but opposites attract! Plus it gives Heavy and Agent a chance to interact, which hasn’t happened all that much.
And those are the big four! Although seriously, you could ship Agent with anyone and I’d be flattered. To think a character I made is shippable is like…a foreign concept, y’know? You could ship her with Merasmus and I’d be like “alright!”
