a Grand Unified Theory of Shipping
Mar. 4th, 2019 09:28 pmMy sister and I spent a few years discussing this. Thought I'd write it down for anyone who's interested.
You see, we noticed that people tend to end up shipping the same types of relationships. People who ship Joey/Pacey also tend to ship Han/Leia, and House/Cuddy, and Ron/Hermione (or so was our theory).
And, because my sister and I are both nerdy people with too much time on our hands, we decided to figure out how different ships could be classified, so that we could figure out, definitively, which types of ships were "the same type".
( the emotional/directness spectrum )
Questions? Comments?
