What ship were you completely obsessed with as a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?
Stefen/Elena or Elena/Damon or Bella/Jacob
Which ship would you consider your first one?
Lizzie & Gordo (Lizzie McGuire) or Kim/Ron (Kim Possible) Sam & Freddy, Seddie (iCarly) I Was Actually Really Well Known In The Seddie Community
Blue/Magenta (Blue's Clues): If You Want To Go Really Young
I am sucker to the best friends to lover troupe.
Your first fanfic was about which couple?
It was probably an iCarly or Hannah Montana or Harry Potter or Camp Rock Fan Fiction
Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of?
I don't remember it it might have been Danny/Sam (Danny Phantom)
Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?
No, it is too much drama.
Did you used to have any NOTP or have one currently?
I don't really have NOTP. Also, long as it does not erase a queer character's identity. I have seen people seen ship Steve/Robin when Robin a gay, she does not like boys. No incest or no extreme age gaps. Though, there are topic things I like reading about but would never want to watch on the screen.
Who were the last couple in the last fanfic you read?
Donna/Harvey from Suits
Currently, do you have any OTPs?
Byler, Buddie, Tarlos
Is there any couple that, to this day, that you are extremely mad about not getting into?
Not that I can think of at the moment.
Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they're kind of interesting?
Not that I can think of.
Do you have any ship that, in the past, would have been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
Stiles/Derek, Sterek (Teen Wolf)
I did not take it seriously it was mostly for fun. But it is pretty shitty they used queer-baiting and sterek to promote Teen Wolf. Their primary age teenager and young adult, Stiles and Derek were 15 and 25 when they met they should have not have been encouraging that kind of age gap to their young audience. Though you can not convince my Still was not bi-coded, bi people can still ended up with in a relationship with someone of the opposite gender/sex.
Sam & Freddy, Seddie (iCarly)
If Freddy was a girl and Sam was a boy, their friendship/relationship would have considered abusive and bullying. Boys hitting girls is a big no no.
What is your favorite crack ship?
I don't really have one.
What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?
Probably Mike/Will, Byler or Bucky/Steve, Stucky (Captain America) or Buck/Eddie, Buddie. Again I am a sucker for a good best friends to lovers story.
What do most of your ships have in common?
Best Friends To Lovers or Enemies To Lovers, Loud Outgoing Personality With Chill Sensitive Personality, Introvert & Extrovert, Height Difference, Repressed & Expressive, Curly Hair & Straight Hair
What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
Not that I can think of.

For the record I feel like saying "Dreadwolf is going to suck because they laid off Mary Kirby" is like... really dramatically missing the point of what's going on here.
The next game has been in alpha for nearly a year now. Kirby's work on the game as a writer was probably mostly finished. Which does not make this better. If anything, it makes it worse.
The layoffs aren't terrible news because a game we're looking forward to might be worse because of them. They're terrible news because people who have devoted years of blood, sweat, and tears to making the game good (including the person who wrote one of the two characters on which they've been hanging the entire marketing campaign for said game thus far) have been axed now that the company has decided it can probably get by without them.
The quality of the game when it finally comes out is irrelevant here. If it's amazing, it won't make this any better, and if it's awful, it won't make it any worse. What matters is the people whose labor made it exist at all are profoundly undervalued, the industry as a whole is broken and frankly abusive, and I wish everyone in it some good labor organizing.

i dont think i will ever be over dragon age 2. like. bioware made an epic fantasy story about a chosen one having to save a country and stop the apocalypse and then they made the second installment of the series be about the sociopolitical climate in ONE city through the lens of a family of refugees fleeing from the war of the first game and just. made it about political tensions and class dynamics and the influences of living in a church-mandated state and the growing tension over an occupied piece of the city and political killings and interpersonal conflict and power and its story is ENTIRELY character-driven. it has easily the most iconic set of companion characters. the premise of living through a story told over the course of ten years and knowing from the start that something really bad will happen in the end was so fresh and exciting. the fact that the acts really built on top of each other andhow much the city changed over time. and the game was so mature in terms of the topic of fighting against oppression in so many ways (im usually generous and say that the short development time left some things a bit wanting), and as much as some people say that the game treats mages and templars as being equally bad, i don't think that that is actually true about the game and it very earnestly tries to grapple with some pretty complex political dynamics.
and then the game completely flopped financially and was almost universally hated for its queer themes and its sympathy for "terrorism" and a lot of the things that stemmed from basically having no production time at all and then the studio just made another epic fantasy story about a chosen one that has to save the world from the apocalypse
