+Everything on this page is personal and just applies to me.  You can do whatever you want with your ships and ship names.  I don't care if you have opposite characterization opinions or think name order is weird.  I know I'm a weirdo with weird ways to enjoy smashing my barbie dolls together.

 I am a multishipper, so in the interest of saving space, the main table will contain the pairings that occupy more space in my mind.  Tertiary pairings will be noted elsewhere.

 **Yaoi:**
-A large portion of my pairings are male/male from the start.  A lot of popular media features a sausage-fest of a cast with 90% male characters and one token girl.  I also think it's funny to delve into the mind of a dude who's been told his whole life to behave like a dude, and think about performing masculinity for an expectant joker society.  There is also some element of escapism in making dudes do other dudes - especially when a LOT of my pairings involve very bad no good things like violence/abuse/death happening to the characters.  I usually prefer these very bad things NOT happen to girl characters, that makes me feel bad 😔 so I make M/M pairings to rotate in the Hellraiser lament cube.
