I wonder what internet linguists, and specifically fandom linguists, think about fandoms that don't have portmanteau ship names/follow general shipping conventions. Specifically, what do they think of the pokemon fandom and the Danny Phantom fandom.
For pokemon, it's not that the show is an anime, because shows like Black Butler, Full Metal Alchemist, and Ouran High School Host Club all fall into common shipping conventions with some outliers. Pokemon has its own hyper-specific naming conventions (ending all of the ship names with -Shipping) that are really hard to parse for anyone that is not In The Fandom. Pokemon ship names are also across media, so the uniformity of the ship names is impressive as it is necessary.
And then, there is the black hole of insanity (I say, with all of the love and respect in my heart as I, too, am DP trash) that is Danny Phantom Fandom ship names. A not insubstantial number of the ship names are full phrases. Hell, some of them don't even make sense to people who haven't seen the show in a bit or haven't been watching closely. Why is Danny Fenton/Danny Phantom "Pitch Pearl"? Your guess is as good as mine! Most of them are puns or self referential (such as "Smells like Teen Spirits" for Danny/Ember or "Shallow Sapphire" for Danny/Paulina) but I had to get those ship names from a collected list on AO3. here
Let's not even get into the actual spreadsheet for Danny Phantom x DC crossover fics.
Idk, I just think these two are interesting outliers in an otherwise pretty set convention.
