There’s usually one canon ship and multiple parallel universes.
I don't have the heart to go Singleship with my OCs hahaha. It's interesting to see the different interactions, reactions and how the story would or not would be changed depending on the other chara.
However, the Rule for multiship is keeping everything in its own universe, after all. Cheating? Jealousy? Involving someone else's chara? Not really happening.
Whether you want to call it "canon" or not it's really up to how one interprets it, I believe. But I also think that it's kinda part of the responsibility and respect each writer/creator has with their partners and vice-versa. If the other part is ok with me having 10 different canon ships, I will also be okay with them doing the same.
HMMMM good question honestly,,, I don't think I've ever planned a ship for Briar with another OC. Like, yeah I've thought of fun dynamic or even ocs Briar has had a thing with in the past but I haven't thought of actual storylines for those situations, but not because I don't like doing that but because I consider myself pretty bad at planning ships with other people T-T I tend to make whole storylines in my head to further develop my OC so I'm always kind of in my own bubble, so I'm not really sure how to plan ships with other people because I tend to plan so many things by myself and that's not really what shipping with another OC is about HAHA :( So that's why I usually avoid shipping with other OCs ;;;;
That being said, all the oc/canon ships of Briar are canon. They just happen in different points in time. Briar is 35, she has done many things in her life LMAO Lysandre was not her first partner but he was one of the most important ones, I mean— they almost got married lol But yeah things happened :> And the Briarships with Rose and Oleana didn't happen until she was like 35 LOL She knows Oleana since her early twenties and she met Rose when she was 28 but still, there was some development behind so the ships weren't "canon" (as in the characters actually dating) until she was 35 lol But all the ships are part of the same universe. Even when I talk about Briar/Rose or Briar/Oleana individually I still think it's in a PrimroseShipping context because I can't separate them (and that's also the endgame ship)
Uhh so far I haven't really had any haha
I'm open to them as their own thing separate from "canon" but if one ever really clicks and works out then I wouldn't mind canonizing it
I've talked about OC romance brainrot with friends, but never really tried to make an OC ship canon.
I don't really have experience writing romance (even though ship brainrot does hit me HARD), so I write my characters not considering that.
Also my story isn't anywhere near worked out, so I worry trying to make an OC ship that's canon to other people's stories would kinda drag them down.
Honestly, I really don't have "canon" ships with Elio and his siblings. So it's all the same to me.
Also, I'm aromantic, so any OC ships that I have with Elio is usually boiled down to being generally platonic since he's kind of an extension of myself. Even then the limit for shipping him with any other OC - either my own or someone else's, is being "Best Friends with Benefits" because, honestly-speaking, as much of a supportive friends if not the chad wingman that he usually is, Elio FUCKS.
Most of my oc ships aren't explicitly canon but I'm sure the could be if we really wanted to expand on it. It's just that when I talk about oc ships with my friends its mostly just for fun so I'm not too stressed about making things make 100% sense in the oc's story as long as they're in-character.
Other than that; Marcie/Kingston, Ruth/Lindow, Luther/Mirajane are the canon endgame ships
