A while back I said I was getting more into poly shipping, and now I'm kind of really into it, so here's a list of ones I really like.
Shinji, Asuka, and Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion, aka the Israfel Special.
I've already talked at length about them. Hell, I'm writing a whole fanfic series about them, so you know they're my fave. Once again, could not and should not work in canon, it would be a total disaster, but you can just barely glimpse the world where they could open up to one another and how good it would be for them, and man, I do wish we got to see that world.
Kyoko Sakura, Mami Tomoe, and Sayaka Miki from Madoka Magica.
KyoSaya is my number 1 ship of all time, but if they were to expand, bringing in the girl who's Kyoko's ex and Sayaka's idol is the way to go. Both girls looked up to Mami as a mentor, only for it to end badly in both cases. And Mami is desperately lonely. Having her two former proteges back in her life would be a Madokasend, while giving them some much needed grounding.
Also like the Kyoko/Sayaka/Madoka variation as well, because it's so damned cute.
David, Lucy, and Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners
(would you believe that this is the only official art of just the three of them that I could find?)
Man, Night City sucks, and they sure packed a whole lot of tragedy in a few episodes. But had things not gone down like they did, this is one that I actually see as being kind of probable. I mean, they're all traumatized outlaws used to living on the edge. Other than the whole Adam Smasher thing, the only roadblock is that Becca and Lucy didn't have much of a dynamic, but that could've easily changed had they all escaped together.
Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, and Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy 7.
So yeah. Guess what I've been playing lately?
Y'know, out of all the the throuples here, this one actually had the best chance of happening. Cloud had a real Betty and Veronica situation going with his tough childhood friend and the sweetheart flower girl, with there clearly being mutual attraction in both cases. However, Tifa and Aerith really don't display much jealousy and in fact become besties. Hell, if Aerith didn't go and get herself Sephirothed, this could really (and should have been) a possibility.
Alas, she did indeed get herself Sephirothed.
Hey, have they reached that point in the remakes yet? I heard there might be a chance of changing it.
Subaru Natsuki, Emilia, and Rem from Re: Zero
So, apparently this has actually been brought up as a possibility in the light novel or something? I certainly can see it, and it does probably have the best chance of actually becoming canon. I mean, I still kinda think that Subaru and Emilia are endgame, but let's face it, what he has going on with Rem is adorable, and while Emilia and Rem don't have much of a one-on-one thing, I don't really see either one really objecting.
Y'know what, let's put a pin in this and see what happens. Could come true.
Cocona, Papika, and Yayaka from Flip Flappers.
Look, Cocona and Papika were really cute and I'm glad they hooked up, but Yayaka was best girl and deserved love! Sure, she and Papika were kinda on the antagonistic side, but let's face it, Papika is like the last person to object to that kind of thing.
