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?

It has to be with someone who is equally invested with their character as I am IF it’s single ship. I usually prefer single ship pairings as it’s easier for me to manage and I feel like I’m able to develop them more.
I’ve shipped characters where my shipping partner either completely skips on the character or forgets about them entirely and it’s not as fun that way.
I’m also not the biggest fan when a ship is… purely NSFW, I don’t mind NSFW at all because I’m an adult but if that’s the entire foundation of the ship I’m not interested.

When it comes to multiship I'm usually selective ! But I lessen up on rules quite a bit ♡
