Explanation of Shipping
A ship is short for a relationship
Shipping verb: means to want or need two characters to be in a romance relationship
i.e. I'm shipping them so hard it hurts my little heart.
Ship noun: is the actual term of the couple
i.e My ship is far more better than your's.
The term ship was originally a slang word for the word relationship. It makes the sentence shorter for example I think that the characters Romeo and Juliet would be great together, they should be in a relationship.
"Ship" and its derivatives in this context have since then come to be in wide and versatile use. "Shipping" refers to the whole phenomenon; a "ship" is the concept of a fictional couple; to "ship" a couple means to have an affinity for it in one way or another; a "shipper" is somebody significantly involved with such an affinity, and so forth.
That is just too long and this sentence evolved into a term that means to love two characters to be together. Ship is a suffix meaning having the rank, position, skill, or relationship of the stated type. Though simply it means you want both characters to fall in love with each other and have babies. And if it's a LGBTQ ship adopt babies. I ship them, I'l ship them forever "Ship" and its derivatives in this context have since then come to be in wide and versatile use. "Shipping" refers to the whole phenomenon; a "ship" is the concept of a fictional couple; to "ship" a couple means to have an affinity for it in one way or another; a "shipper" is somebody significantly involved with such an affinity, and so forth.
Authors who don't define characters romance feelings and the fans make up their own minds who should be together that is shipping's core. Though this is not always the case it is when shipping usually blooms.
Why as humans we ship is still unknown to me. The only explanation is that love is something that brings everyone happiness. And when we see two characters who have attraction to each other we ship them because it's for the happiness of them. But seeing on the screen when they smile at each other, protect them, or save them it makes us swell up with happiness. It makes something in our bodies fall apart or make a movement that is half a dance half seizure.
Sometimes shipping is called a disease for people because when you start there is no going back to my knowledge. It is a addiction like drugs once you have a ship it makes you become violent and fight for your ship against others. This is what a shipping war is but the tv show is about actually shipping packages to one place to another.
As for what comes from shipping, is either the ship becomes canon. Canon means in the actual story that the couple. But when your author isn't so kind. We have fanart and fanfiction.
Ships don't have to be canon or of the same fandom. Not canon could be called crack ships which are ships that seem strange or ships you find simply funny or silly. Ships that are gay are called Yaoi. hey're can be crossover ships. Crossover meaning a cross between fandoms.
I'm still trying to figure out how to control my shipping. Because it has taking over my life and is the reason I'm making this blog because there is so many of them. Because I am a hopeless romantic.
Some of the terminology used in Shipping fandom is as follows:
Ship= The relationship between two or more characters
Sailed Ship= A Ship that you once supported but don’t anymore
Crack Ship= A ridiculous Ship, or one that can or else should never happen
Ghost Ship= A Ship that you once supported and perhaps still do that went down in the ocean, drowning all on board (basically, a hopeless relationship)
Canon= True to the story
Cannonball= An abrupt, painful happening in a fandom that hits you like one
Shore= A happy ending to a Ship (Ships almost always go out into the waters again, but it’s nice to rest here for a while)
Storm/Seastorm/Tidal Wave/Anything else related to this= Problems faced by the Ship
Thunder= Implications of an upcoming storm
Slash= A gay relationship
Cargo= Moments or other implications that a Ship is canon (true to the story), or else cute exchanges between the characters involved in a Ship
Pirate= A person who attacks other Ships, perhaps to steal cargo, or because of vengeance—whatever reason, they try to shoot down your Ship
Breaking the bottle= What got you Shipping them
OTP= Short for "One True Pairing"--by deeming a Ship your OTP, you have declared that you have really strong emotions for it, perhaps that you feel that the characters involved in that relationship are meant for each other above all other relationships you may put them in
BROTP= Related to OTP, except that instead of a romantic relationship, it's a friend relationship that it's referring to; the term "BROTP" is a combination of "Bromance" and "OTP". A Bromance is a relationship in which two men are close enough that they could be dating, but aren't.
Shark= Anyone or anything that flocks to your Ship at the first hint of blood—at the first hint of some slight wound in your Ship—and tears it apart for this
Stranded= Either stuck without a Ship, or afraid to Ship again so you’re avoiding pairings
Passenger= A person who Ships a certain couple
Getting on board= Beginning to Ship something, about to Ship something, etc.
Various naming conventions have developed in different online communities to refer to prospective couples, likely due to the ambiguity and cumbersomeness of the "Character 1 and Character 2" format. The most widespread appears to be putting the slash character (/) between the two names ("Character1/Character2"). Other methods include:[citation needed]
using a word that describes the relationship between, or something involving both characters and adding the word "Shipping" to it (e.g., MartyrShipping to refer to the relationship between Ivypool and Hollyleaf from the Warriors series, because both suffered a great deal for their beliefs)
like the ?Shipping method, only by adding the word "Heart" to the end of the word that describes their relationship
using the letter X in place of the slash ("Character1XCharacter2")
putting characters' names in CamelCase ("Character1Character2")
abbreviating both names (usually taking only the first letter of each, with additional letters used if necessary to avoid two or more couples in the same fandom sharing a name) ("Ch1/Ch2")
using the initials of either the characters' first names or their full names ("CC" or "C1C2")
forming a portmanteau from the names of the two participants (e.g., "Brangelina", when the names of the characters are "Brad Pitt" and "Angelina Jolie"); this is common mostly within fan communities of anime in emulation of the naming conventions for couples used in the equivalent Japanese fandoms. (e.g., IchiHime in Bleach, or NaruSasu in Naruto).
