I have basically forced myself to stop legitimately shipping real life ships. I "ship"/enjoy some in jest, but... I can't do real life ships anymore. Those hurt more than fictional ships, especially when the real life ship actually was together, but broke up.

There's a story here. Who were your real-life ships, Amelia?

Rob/Amber and Justin/Britney for me.

kiss the wind

Too many American Idol ships to count, but specifically Kelly and Justin. It took me twelve years to get legitimate confirmation from their own mouths that they dated [long after they had broken up, clearly], and they just hurt me in the best/worst way.

Also Heather and Naya from Glee, which... I won't even go there anymore.

I shipped JT/Britney, too, but like... before I knew what "shipping" really was.

April7739

I think almost everyone shipped Britney and JT.

Kelly and Justin! I never really liked him until I watched that movie of theirs. I know it's this critically panned film, but god, I loved it so much! I still watch it from time to time.

You've seen From Justin to Kelly???? April... you just get me. I actually own it. That's what my love from Kelly gets me. And yeah, the movie is so bad, but I loved it, too. I still do.

JT and Britney were goals back in the day.

April7739

I OWN IT, TOO!



I'm way partial to Kelly as a singer, but Justin is a damn good dancer! And I love the "I'm gonna wish upon a star" number. So sassy.

a little chaos

I've real life shipped before but not for years. It started with a big brother ship, Pete/Nikki. They dated for a while.

Who else, Emma/Rupert (HP) that was bad
Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams.
Harry Styles & Louis Tomlinson, that was huge for me.
I shipped multiple X Factor contestants too

Probably more but I can't remember! I tend not to do it anymore because I don't like blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

Though I totally probably lowkey shipped Alycia/Eliza, but I fought against it hard it passed

Karma Police

Speaking of X Factor, I remember you shipping Katie and Cher?

I never shipped real life couples, I'm the last one to find out celebrities are dating in real life. The only couple that I looked up to was Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Patrol and they totally broke my heart when they split because I thought they'd be together forever. I was 10 and thought that meant love is dead.

April7739

Aww, Paulina. (I didn't even know those two dated.)

Becks, I don't know which one Louis from 1D is, but I believe Alexa did some real life shipping with 1D, too. I think she even wrote some fics.

April, I agree with your entire J2K post. And awesome that you own it, too!

Oh man... I lowkey shipped Emma/Rupert... kind of. I wasn't really invested in it and I didn't like... actually think they were dating, but they were cute together in photos and such. Although that might have just been my Romione shipping blurring with reality.

Paulina. I think I was too young to remember that they dated.

Same. It actually passed really quickly for me tbh. I enjoy their friendship and when they take pics I enjoy them, but honestly... I'm so glad I resisted the trap.

Have you seen Big Brother 6 and Big Brother 7, Amelia? There are two people in those casts who . . . I didn't ship them, but I did appreciate the heck out of their friendship and wouldn't have been opposed to it becoming more.

kiss the wind

I've seen 7. That was All-Stars, right? Who did you ship?

April7739

Well, I wouldn't say I shipped, but I absolutely loved Janelle and Kaysar's friendship. Which, of course, began in season 6.

You should watch season 6. Many people still rank it among their favorite seasons. It's crazy, and people felt so passionately (either love or hate) about certain cast members.

kiss the wind

Oh, yeah, Janelle and Keysar was a good friendship on that season.

I'm going to get around to BB6 at some point.

I haven't watched/gotten Live Feeds for this season yet, but from what I've read, it seems insane already.

I'm enjoying TVD ships... many of them.

April7739

Which TVD ships are you liking? I ship Delena, but I like a lot of the ships on that show.

Oh god, I have to resist the temptation of looking at those BB live feeds. I never have before, and I shouldn't now . . . even if I do have an All Access account now. Must . . . resist.
