RP Character Discussion: Love Interests

[Quickman]

One or two of my characters have been victim to the whims of other players.  Granted, my characters were already on decent terms with their soon-to-be significant others, but it wasn't very obvious that they had anything going on between them.  After a while, situations continually arose in which my characters and the other characters were paired off and lone and had to work together to get out of whatever situation they were in.  Eventually, they grew closer and closer, but at least one character-pairing by proxy didn't work out because I simply didn't have any connection with the other player.

It all just came down to other people saying, "you two are so cute together!"

I try not to participate in such forced ships, and have on occasion inserted one of my characters into a situation because I could tell that the other players were trying to pair off two other players against their wishes.  So, I'd drop on to foil them.  At least once, I was PMed and requested to step in.

It's fine to have a relationship blossom on its own.  But, to force a ship can get irritating.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, that sucks. Forced shipping is just awful. It'd make me not want to participate.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah even with my shipping brain I wouldn't force shipping unless I have permission.

[Mirby]

i know two people on another forum that are shipped by a third member there.

they're not fond of that pairing. it would be like if someone here were to ship, say, quickie and sakura. hypothetically speaking, of course.

and if real people don't enjoy being forcibly shipped (why would they) there's no reason to do so to fictional ones.

[Amatiramisu]

Let's ship Quickie x Sakura x Mirby x PB x A Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza.

Which unfortunately happened in grade school because my friends are guys.

Let's ship Quickie x Sakura x Mirby x PB x A Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza.

Why a Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza, I hate Sausage on Pizza.

[Mirby]

the only true RPM pairing is

PB x Mango Lemonade

duh

[Sakura Leic]

Nah it's more like PB x His reflection.

[Police Girl]

You both forgot Sub Tank X His right hand.

[Sakura Leic]

You both forgot Sub Tank X His right hand.

But Sub Tank doesn't have hands.

[Mirby]

Sub Tank x Boobs

just... boobs. in general.

[Sakura Leic]

Sub Tank x Boobs

just... boobs. in general.

Now that's more like it.

[Protoman Blues]

Well hasn't this thread turned naughty! 

[Sakura Leic]

Well hasn't this thread turned naughty! 

You expected anything less?

[Protoman Blues]

Of course not. I still expect haircut pics though!

[Sakura Leic]

I have the before pic but I have to take the after pic tomorrow, lighting isn't good right now.

[Quickman]

So, naughty love interests...

Random question: Who would you ship?

[Police Girl]

I don't ship anybody.

And if I did I wouldn't be able to justify my reasoning.

[Sakura Leic]

In terms of RPs for some odd reason Keco and Borock-bot in Wilypocalyse and if there isn't a Mary Jane character Bat Sakura and Spider-Blues.

[Police Girl]

Okay... that is odd. Do you have any reasoning behind that?

[Sakura Leic]

Just that they sort of argue like a married couple, like I said it's odd and I probably wouldn't build it at the moment.

[Police Girl]

Huh, I never really noticed the married couple-esque bickering, I always saw it as mild distrust that lead to the constant arguing.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah like I said until we see more interaction I probably wouldn't build it, especially since borock-bot is kind of the butler like character and not a charmer.

[Police Girl]

Hah, the only "Charmer" type character from what I can tell is PB and he's not really up to charming currently it seems.

Everybody else is pretty normal.

Yeah the only time he flirted with someone in RP was Zeta when he pretended to have amnesia after the St. Acidburg incident but he backed off when he saw how embarrassed Zeta got when he kissed her hand.
