Just for fun... who do you "ship"?

[Kim N]

The terminology is silly, but is there any fictional or celebrity pair you root for? Do you usually root for canonical or non-canonical pairs?

I usually end up on the non-canonical pairings, and 99% in the fictional world where it 100% does not matter!

Dean Winchester and Castiel.

I've read some really great fanfics where Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy get paired up, and I will admit to being slightly obsessed with a well done redemption arc for Draco.

Others come and go as I switch book series/TV series.

I am still hopeful that Sam the butcher will propose to Alice.

I'm not familiar with Supernatural, but I've heard of the Hermione/Draco pairing and agree that could work very well.

Too funny, stracci!

Did anyone else here get super invested in Jim and Pam?

Lady Brienne and Jaime Lannister lol

What I ship is ... packages.

Jim and Pam 100%.
After Hugh Jackman and his wife split, I would normally not get overly invested in anyone’s relationship especially celebrities but if Jason and Kylie Kelce split up, I would cry. He is a Philadelphia Eagle and a legend around here. I just watched the documentary and their family is adorable.

Ooh, I love it.

I had wondered how long it'd take someone to make this joke.

I get that, and I've done the same. This makes me laugh at myself, but somehow every winter Olympics I get invested in at least one of the figure skating pairs.

I didn't get it either, Daisy. I had to research this one!
Apparently "ship" is short for "relationship", in some twisted way!

Lady Brienne and Jaime Lannister lol

Let's be honest, we all shipped this one.

Spoiler

And then they write Jaime right back into Cersei's arms and ruin it all.

The one thing you can always count on is the appeal of redeeming the bad boy. On one hand, we girls are so predictable in this. On the other, it's hot, who cares.
