1. Talk about the first ship you ever had: Mulder and Scully. I was really into the X-Files as a kid (Still am) but i was much more devoted. I couldn’t wait for Tuesday nights, where it would air on tv. I’d circle it on the tv guide. I didn’t even know what shipping was at the time. But, Mulder and Scully are the ones who invented shipping. It all started with them. People wanting them to be in a relationship so badly. So the term shipping was coined then. 
2. Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life: Goodness. Dan and Blair, Damon and Elena and probably Betty and Archie. Dair was my first real shipping obsession saga. And I was in high school at the time. I would talk about dair all the time with my friends and pretty sure they got sick of my shit xD but they tolerated it. Damon and Elena happened after high school and was even bigger than Dair. Barchie, on the other hand… Is a whole different bag of fruit. I’m not majorly obsessed, but i do love them as equally as dair and delena. I’m just a lot more older and I ship characters together, but I can control it better.
3. What’s your current OTP?: dayum, only one? I have too many otps. I already listed a few above :) 
4. What’s your current NOTP?: I never have just one, same with my ships, y’know. Stelena, Jafael, Rogan, Chair and Spuffy.
5. Do you have any poly ships? Nope :)
6. How do you feel about love triangles?: Yikes. After going through Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries love triangles… I can’t say I enjoy them. They’re just -_-; such a pain.
7. How do you feel about RPF?: Not my kind of thing. 
8. Have you ever shipped yourself with a character?: Yas. With Toni Topaz.
9. Do you have many ships that never got together at all?  XD Do I ever? Bellarke, Snowbarry, Annie and Abed, Jorleesi and Bevie.
10. Do you ship any characters that have never met?: Nope. Oh, wait. Does AU count? Lana x Dean, Caroline x Dean, Alex Udinov x Jace.
11. Talk about your favorite first kiss:  Ah, I can never do just one. Not when you got too many ships. So, I gotta list ‘em again. I gotta. I just..       Naley: When you can hear the music building up in the background, Switchfoot’s ‘Dare you to move’ And you just know something is going to happen. Someone’s going to make a move. Nathan makes the first move, but then Haley gets the big triumph momento music. It was just magic.       Jam: When Jim comes back into the office after revealing that he’s in love with Pam, to kiss Pam. And Pam sinks into it. And then years later, they mirror that kiss during their wedding :’)                                                  Delena: When Damon throws caution to the wind and kisses Elena on her front porch in 3x10. So exciting. All that build up throughout the first half of season 3. He walks off and he leaves Elena breathless.                              Jacey: When Pacey is trying to express how much he feels for Joey, and the best thing he does it to show her with a kiss. It was impulsive, just like Damon was with Elena. And it completely catches Joey off guard.              Stydia: Stiles is having a panic attack because he’s father has been taken and Lydia surprises him with a kiss, that makes him focus on that instead.Have you ever been disappointed when your ship finally got together? The whole scene with the music and the timing of it = beautiful. 
12. Has a ship ever broken your heart? Nope. I’ve been devastated, sure. But, as far as broken hearted… Nah.
13. How do you feel about will they/won’t they?: It’s exciting, up until they won’t.
14. Have you ever “shipped at first sight”? Choni, maybe? 
15. Talk about a ship you initially disliked. -_-; I’m not proud of this, but this was waaaay before I became invested in the show. Delena. I used to not be a fan, but then I saw how gentle he was with her in 1x13 and I knew it was all over. They were my ship.
16. Talk about a pairing you’ve stopped shipping romantically. Bughead.I liked them In S1. And then >_> They became so cringey and awful. And I shipped Will and Sydney from Alias, at some point. 
17. Talk about a moment which made you question an entire ship.: Once upon a time, I shipped both Spuffy and Bangel as a kid. But, as I got older; I reflected on exactly why I shipped them in the first place. Now, Bangel I am not against, I’m just simply indifferent and would prefer them over Spuffy any day. I am definitely against spuffy and It has to do with various reasons. His obsession with her….It was yicky. And the rape scene. That’s too hard to watch and I can’t ship something like that, but I won’t condemn anyone who does, I just can’t be on board with it.
18. Have you ever shipped something despite yourself?: Yes, despite my disliking of spuffy (they do have their moments tho) I ship Lexana, mainly because of the Christmas ep in season 5. It made it hard not to ship them.
19. Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping: I don’t think you can feel alone in shipping something. There’s always going to be someone or a few people who ship something that is underrated. It just feels as if you’re alone in it, as it’s not as popular. E.g. Snowbarry. 
20. Is there a ship you just don’t get, but have nothing against? : Nope
21. Which of your ships have the best chemistry?: I don’t know. They’re all pretty great. If I didn’t think they had chemistry, I wouldn’t have shipped them.
22. Which of your ships deserve better writing? Snowbarry, Bellarke,  jane x michael, Serenate, LoVe and Dair.
23. Do you mostly ship canon pairings?: Nope. 
24. Have you ever shipped a pairing before you even started watching the show/movie simply because of gifs and graphics or similar?: Choni, Stelena, Bughead. And Choni is the only one I stuck with.
25. Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic you’re more drawn to?: The guy being there for the girl, the long journey, friends to lovers, enemies to friends.
26. Is there a ship you’ve shipped for most of your life?: Sculder, Delena,Tiva. 
27. Does shipping come easily to you? Sometimes. I think the ship just chooses you most of the time. You see two characters together and something clicks.
28. Do you need to ship something to really enjoy a movie/book/tv show/comic?: If it has a good dynamic or sibling\family relationship… Then I’ll be fine. But, if it has a romantic component too, then I’m all in.
