The USS Mc.Shipping Thread

Aad X Bulus : A canon ship. Or at least a close approximation to a ship. It's hard to say how healthy this relationship is. Aad is a control freak and Bulus is spineless. Take three guesses why they might have hooked up. Aad does care for him though. I pity any character who hurts or, worse yet, kills Bulus. They will have to deal with a very, very angry Aad.

Adra X Dieter : Both have canon love interests, but they were left behind by the displacement to Lemuria. They get along (now) and they're the only people on the continent with a previously established, friendly relationship with each other, so it's not hard to imagine them growing closer and closer as time goes on. Then the smoochies. Their age also makes it likely. There's not many other teenage characters they could be with, so convenience may have them drift together.

Adra -> Vesyka : Adra suffers from maiden-in-love syndrome. She wasn't treated well for a very long time, so those who are kind to her make an impression. And because she has a big, squishy heart in her thin, spidery body, that impression tends to become puppy love. Her canon love interest is just the first person her age to treat her like he does everyone else. There are at least four other characters that could have filled that spot if the timing had been different. So seeing that Ves was her first Lemurian friend, it's not hard to imagine the butterflies in her stomach. Of course, it could have been someone like Alex, Kyra, Vee, etc. too.

Alex X Alondra : A ship kinda played with back in WoG and the related RP chat. I think it'd be cute. Big, muscly girl and short, skinny guy. Fighter and lover. Monster killer and monster advocate. Big Al and Lil' Al! It's a ship I'd be interested in giving a try in CC. If the chance arises of course.

Alex X Kyra : Yeah, this warrants a mention. It's been done in the RP chat and I think it's a really successful pairing, but that's just it: it's been done. I'd like to try something new for Alex in CC, as discussed above. I imagine it will get at least a shout-out at some point though.

Alex X Molly : This one is something that sorta happened on accident. Originally, it was just some goofy fun to acknowledge that Alex is awkward and make Sam jealous, but I've grown to like it. I think they'd actually suit each other very well. They'd need someone like Demmy or Sam to look after them though. Such naivety. It's also funny that Alex has a continued attraction to big butt blondes. I wonder what his internet search history looks like?

Alex X Nauyaca : Teased at within the RP, though only to get a rise out of Alex. Nauyaca isn't interested in non-Pientens. Maybe she could change her tune after Mival's infernal invasion though...

Alex X Sam : This one has skirted on canon for years. All versions of the characters that have coexisted have at least considered the idea. Each coupled incarnation have gotten further. Give me another RP and they'll probably be a married couple. I'd have gone ahead and made it canon here if not for the simple fact that I think it's more interesting to pursue ships with other players' characters.

Baerbel X Vesyka : Mostly comes to mind because they were randomly drawn for an upcoming blind date RP. But I think it has potential. Bae is experienced and forward while Ves is naive and shy. Both probably feel somewhat between human society and other culture. I think it could work if we cracked at it for a while.

Baerbel X Vigr : This one is actually canon within CC. They're not romantically involved or even romantically interested in each other, but they did hook up in Sund before the events of the RP. It hasn't come up in-RP yet though. Maybe if they meet in Mival, but we'll see if it ever becomes something more than an Easter egg.

Batinah X Lucia : Whoo boy. These two girlies have it BAD for each other. They parted ways once. I don't think they'll be able to do it again if they meet back up.

Cipo X Kyra : They enjoy each other's company and they're compatible. Nothing special, but it's easy to imagine.

Dani X Maria : This one actually has some history. Dani was originally Ethan and, seeing as they were a teenage boy and girl who grew extremely close, it was natural it was at least imagined in-story. For various reasons, Ethan Howell became Ethan Hondros became Dani Gavis became Dani Attias, but it still feels like some of that magnetism is there. Canonically, Dani is asexual and Maria gets a boyfriend, but it's hardly a stretch of the imagination to imagine their already close relationship move past being platonic. So no plans for it, but the ghost of the idea is always hovering.  

Dieter -> Vesyka : Not a proper ship considering the age difference, but Vesyka is exactly Dieter's type. I can easy see him developing a grudging crush on her.

Gharam -> Hassan : Gharam's admiration for Hassan goes well beyond respect. Hassan is a huacephalus unlike any he's seen and Gharam secretly feels the desire to monopolize his wisdom, wordiness, and... well, hot fucking body. Hassan is an old fart, but hyenamen age weird. They go strong until the end of their life, so Hassan is still considered very attractive. Gharam too for that matter. They'd make all the girls jealous.

Hall X Ragnhild : Yeah, uh... this one is a toughie. They grow to like and trust each other (albeit grudgingly on Rag's part) and become partners by the end of their story, and I think they suit each other, so I'd prolly go ahead and make them a couple if they were the same species, but... well, they're not. And with Rag being what she is, I find it difficult to go forward with the idea. It's not even weird in-universe. It's more... out-of-universe that I worry about. In fact, his is my first time addressing the idea and this is a small, close group. Honestly, the varuls' design alone would probably draw some of the same unwanted attention/criticism, so maybe it would just be one more log on a bigger fire. I dunno.

Kirk -> Tyra : Nothing serious, but they've been together for their entire Lemurian career and Kirk is someone I see as heterosexually inclined yet open-minded, so she could have conceivably developed feelings. One-sided ones though, because Tyra is straight as an arrow.

Lark X Kyra : The idea started in a D&D campaign, and now they're both on Lemuria. So who knows? Maybe something will happen.

Lark <- Zander : Zander has an... uneasy relationship with his mentor. And I don't just mean he currently thinks she's a traitor. She's between a parent and an idol for him. They're too close in age to be family, but too far to be lovers. Not to mention that she's a lesbian, but we'll go easy on the poor guy for now.

Magenta -> Verd : Magenta hasn't been treated as a person much, but Verd has never talked to her as anything less. The closest thing she has to a name was given to her by him. She's endless frustrated and aggravated by him, but, ultimately, she'd rather be by his side than not. Not that she isn't colossally embarrassed by it. It's also... rather messy. He's five years older than her physical, but five years younger mentally. She doesn't like to talk about it.

Malicious -> Maria : In canon, Maria becomes something of a caretaker to Mal and eventually her adopted sister. Mal is... obsessive once she has a positive relationship. She's extremely possessive of Maria once they're close and I can easily imagine that possessiveness becoming a sort of sexually charged clinginess that Mal, undersocialized as she is, just doesn't know what to do with.

Mattuger -> Ragnhild : Matt is inescapably drawn to Rag. To him, she's a singularity among varuls. The only one to reject him. His obsession isn't currently romantic or sexual, but it's not far from becoming so. Like his godly kin, he's slowly going mad from sheer age, so perhaps one of the deeper rungs of his insanity is growing physically possessive of her.

Nita X Heather : They can be awful, vindictive little shits together.

T.J. X Vee : One of Vee's almost-ships and one currently being explored. They're a good match for each other. One studious and reserved, the other silly and bold, yet both are protective of their companions. Their mirrored strengths and weaknesses make it easy for them to look after each other. Plus they're a good comedic duo. Vee's the goof to T.J.'s straight man.

Vee X Vesyka : The other big almost for Vee. Ves is a precious cinnamon bun that needs protecting. Vee is a smirky older sister who wants to protect someone small and cute. It's a pretty simple equation. They're also a good pair in how they contrast each other. Even in appearance. Ves is small, fair, light-haired, and thin. Vee is tall, tan, dark-haired, and curvy. Seriously, just imagine them holding hands. It's adorable.

I have a shipping fee that no one can pay.

Amadi X Mahla : Teased in canon, so it's always a possibility here if nothing else pans out for these two.

Amadi X Vesyka : They're both tiny, cursed with great power, and sweet as heck.

Blasa X Halley : No romance here, but it's prolly happened in the past if Halley and Zanna aren't a thing (still mulling over it). They're both down to fuk and would know each other from Bolo.

Feinier x Halley : A good match for Feinier. Halley is someone who could be attracted to her in all her forms. And both are actors in a way.

Gunna x Halley : I actually REALLY like this one. They're both capable of attraction to... well, pretty much anything, but have opposite views on honestly. Gunna is honest even if it hurts her and Halley dabbles in the greatest lie of all.

Halley X Hall : Would be cute. They're similar, but Halley is way more mature and developed, so he would enjoy teasing Hall.

Halley x Orinda : This would be an interesting one. I think Halley strikes a good balance between relaxed and forward, so he could... uh... 'recuperate' Orinda without driving her away. I dun like using that word, but basically I think he could teach her to be sexual again. Plus they'd see each other a lot since they're both based in Bolo. He could call her, "Rin."

Halley x Prateria : Okay, obviously nothing serious here, but they're both actors and I like the idea of a tiny man and a giant woman. I could see them flirting while trying to out-act each other. You know, just a bit of foe yay.

Halley X Ragnhild : Halley is one of the few characters who would be unabashedly attracted to her and they both hate bullies.

Halley X Zana : Teased in canon and a very real possibility here.

... yeah, I know most of these involved Halley. It's just a big part of his character okay?
