I'm filthy. I'm horrible. I am a monster--a shipping monster. I love romantic relationships, friendships, family relationships. OT3s. Unhealthy relationships that can be examined both critically and enjoyably. I love examining how people work together in fiction! it's my favorite part of media consumption and of writing. I think a ship really works for me (of any flavor) is when one person in the relationship has something they rely on the other person for--not in a life-altering way, but even something as simple as only showing that other person a certain part of their personality.
But if I am into shipping it romantically, then I REALLY ship it romantically. I'll go all the way. Hardcore OTP-touting (but I'm also a multishipper). Most of the pairings I get into end up being F/F: I watch a lot of media with primarily female casts and also I just find myself more invested in female characters and their interactions with each other.
It's hard to narrow it down to just one ship, but I have been thinking about this one A LOT lately: I really love the dynamic that Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki from Madoka Magica have. Depending on the circumstances, I definitely ship them, but what makes them so appealing to me is that they have an amazing relationship no matter what it is. They are sooooo close and really...happy when they are around each other, which I think sometimes gets lost in everything else that happens in that series. And they're willing to do a lot for each other; I think they understand each other in a way that people who have known each other for a long time do. Also Sayaka is such a like, enormous goober...around Madoka. What a cute child.
