aside from shipping in fandom, my fave type of CR is shipping in rp. i can rp anything, and i love platonic or neg CR just the same. but shipping is what essentially keeps me interested/engaged in PSLs or even games
for example, i played angel dust and kazahana (an oc) recently, neither had ships in game and i think that's why i gravitated away from the games? i loved their CR but i like to work towards a shipping goal
BUT LIKE i've talked about tropes and stuff, and i guess another thing i want to say is i don't ever want to push people into ships. i get heavily invested, but i try to remain Chill and Cool in front of a lot of people
