Hi friends c: what are the things you consider when shipping characters? It can be your own ocs or canon characters from games/shows ect :o basically, what gets you invested in developing the dynamic between two characters?

For me, I like picturing characters I'm shipping learning more about each other.

Be it big pieces of backstory or tiny little quirks, I get super into imagining the dynamic shifting and growing more outward and multi-faceted as these people paint a more complete picture of the other: learning what makes the other tick and how that in turn can become part of how they themselves tick
