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?

Mostly the possibility of good back and forth between said characters. If you feel more can be squeezed out of their dynamic that's the kind of stuff that motivates me to ship.

When it comes to OCs, another factor is what new possibilities or paths do said shipping open to my OC. IT's why I tend to like when I get to ship characters with friend's OCs cause it opens the doors for brainstorming and back-and-forth of ideas.
