Currently writing: The Missing Link!
Here are my Pokemon/Sonic crossover shippings that I came up with and support! Also, I give all of these a 5/5!
NuvemaHillShipping (Hilda X Sonic), currently my OTP! Sonic is a teen just like Hilda, so they would be the best of friends. Also, It would be cool to see Hilda perform the Spin Dash, Super Peel-Out & have a Super Transformation where her hair color is light blue!
ChaosEmeraldShipping (Mei X Sonic). Sonic would compare Mei's adorableness to the preciousness of a Chaos Emerald!
DarkHallMatronShipping (Argenta X Shadow). Shadow would teach Argenta how to use Chaos Control. In addition, Shadow would be good friends with Argenta.
DeviousProfessorShipping (Aurea Juniper X Dr. Eggman). It would be funny to see Prof. Juniper telling Eggman that his plans for beating Sonic are shortsighted, but Eggman would use Mind Control to make her join him in his attempts in defeating Sonic!
Every shipping except the last one are special
friendships! The last one is a Crack Pairing, but it is definitely for laughs! I don't know if ANY fanart exists for these. These crossovers need some support, too! It feels like i'm the only NuvemaHillShipper in the world!

Okay, I have no idea what some of these ships are called, so I'll just have to put their pairings up instead.
pearlshipping(AshxDawn)- this ship introduced me to the shipping universe and is the one I defend the most fervently. Ash and Dawn click better than any other pairing with Ash, and both have supported each other more than the other ships. Their relationship is also incredibly easy to see in DP, whereas the others were harder to dissect. The relationship also seems to be beyond a surface level passion, thanks going to the writers for putting such intense danger in the form of J and Team Galactic
contestshipping(MayxDrew)- I've always liked May, and was even leaning to Advanceshipping before I saw Dawn and Ash for the first time. I think May is better suited to Drew than Ash because they are both coordinators. Dawn at one point fought a Gym Battle, and Ash has competed in a contest, so they can relate to each other's interests. The same is true for May and Drew. That aside, both are hopeless romantics, even though Drew is rude (I mean what guy uses a rose as his trademark unless he's a romantic?)
[LinkxMidna(not transformed)]- I don't even know if this ship has a name, oh well, I support it anyway. The way Midna and Link's relationship gradually became more passionate throughout the game seemed so natural and sincere, I cried at the game's crappy ending. Midna is brusque, but loveable for it, something I think endears her to the warrior Link. I support this ship so much, I wrote a fanfic to continue it, altering the game's ending to support my view LOL! (maybe I'll post it sometime)
(Fox McCloudxKrystal)- again, no clue if this ship has a name. Anyone who knows the StarFox saga will be like oh, yep, no duh. I mean, when Fox first sees her, he gets all glassy eyed and loopy(lol!) The way he wants to look after her while at the same time she wants to be more involved with the team's action lends itself to perfectly portraying the difficulties of growing in a relationship. The best part of the ship, Command left cannon ambiguous, so I was able to combine, modify, and continue the story however I saw fit.
(SpyroxCynder)- this is becoming depressing, not knowing the name to any of these great ships (sigh)...I will not even try to validate this one, as it is canon (imagine that) but by the way they interact, it is so clear even before Cynder's confession of love that they care deeply for each other. Any confusion you may have concerning these two can be answered in Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.

My Pokemon Shipping List:
Ikarishipping(DawnxPaul):Oh I love it, it's these typicall opposites attract and I think it's kind of realistic because Paul told Dawn things,which he never told his brother.An other point is that Paul is one of my favorites, even if he isn't nice to his Pokemon, he's cool^^,an other point ist that it introduced me to the Fanfiction.net
Contestshipping(MayxDrew):When I watched the seasons with May and after the first Rose I was obsessed with this Shipping.They are so cute, even if they most time arguing, but hey: what the tease loves^^and Caroline is a nice suppport teasing her daughter after her first grand festival about relationships^^
IcebeamShipping(Dawns BunearyxPauls Weavile):Cough:No it has nothing to do with the Ikarishipping.... But i like a lot and it's such a shame that there aren't many fics with this as an main theme.But I shoudn't complain....I think it's better than BunearyxPikachu, even there no hints^^'
GossamerShipping(Mays BeautiflyxDrews Masquerain):One of the cheesiest Pokemonshipping I know, it's super cute.They look so good together and they could be a super team in contest.Like their double silverwind in the episode Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?.

It's not Shingan crimsonz, but SHINGAYCRIMSONZ
Advanceshipping - OMG these 2 were made for each other, they are both vulnerable young people but yet they have a side that make others worry, plus there have been many hints during the hoenn saga, i feel ash and may could be the most compatible couple ever, they are so alike it's just funny ehhehe XD
WishfullShipping - The definition of opposites attract, these 2 wouldn't see it in a million years, but you sometimes find love with ones you least expect
Pikachu x Buneary - Don't know the name but it's pretty clear how buneary feels and pikachu being the calm one has to downplay it
PokeSilverShipping - Though lyra doesn't suit ash as much as may, she is absolutely adorable and she basically had a thing for him, before leaving back to johto <3
#TeamRowlett (Amanda is the one whom created this magnificent image)
Proud Advance/AmourShipper ~ If you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change. ~T, Swift~
Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more? ~ Before Sunrise ~
Grooveshark | Tumblr | BulbaGarden | IMDB | Spotify | Youtube | Last.FM
For now, I'll drop in my Pokemon shippings.
I don't have an OTP - It's a tie.
Anime Ships:
Contest-Shipping - When I first watched the Anime series (Started in the Hoenn seasons), I really adored Drew for giving May those roses. From there I just took note of every Contest-Shipping hint without realising it (Shh, I was 7 at that time and didn't know what a ship was). Anyway, after that I couldn't really change my view on this ship. I love it to pieces.
Poke-Shipping - Then I went to check the Kanto seasons. The Ash/Misty signs were really cute, like they were made for each other. I believe that it was almost canon until she left Ash's group, sadly.
Ikari-Shipping - Mainly because I got converted. The mini-hints got me, however. Also, I have a small liking for pairings like these sometimes.
Pokespe Ships:
Gold/Everyone. Just Gold/Everyone. - At first I only shipped MangaQuest because I was a huge fan of GSC, and kept re-reading it. Didn't like BL then, so only saw PreciousMetal as rivals. Then Amber showed up, mainly for the scene that Gold managed to get Yellow to take off her hat. Then I finally started liking BL and PreciousMetal got me, and I started seeing it as more than just rivals. It just continues.
Frantic-Shipping - This pairing is like opposites-attract, mostly. And that confession. And their arguments, I like them for some reasons.
Special-Shipping - Same reason as Poke-Shipping. "Original" and all.
i will go down with this ship ♫
an extensive list of iza's pkmn pairings
ღ = otp status
Spoiler:- a n i m e:
ღ advanceshipping (ash/may)
AG was probably my favorite season, because in a sense ash finally grew up! his role as mentor to may forced the writers to make him competent for once, and the show became 10x better for it. in this way i see may as the person who is able to bring out the best in ash (and vice versa of course, since he was the one who guided her through her own journey). their interactions were cute & simple but never, ever boring, and i just see them as two very compatible people. (:
altoshipping (ash/latias)
i don't usually support human/poke ships but this one is so, so precious. admittedly they're both very innocent souls, but if latias were to still have the same feelings years later then i could definitely see "couple potential" so to speak. The Kiss still stands as the most blatant ash-related romance moment in pokemon so far - melody's kiss in movie 2 was more of a "let's make misty jealous" thing imo.
appealshipping (dawn/zoey)
f/f pairings where one girl is the "prince" and the other the "princess" a la shoujo kakumei utena get me every time, man... but tbh they are just sweet together and really quite compatible. zoey doing dawn's hair in that one episode... HNNGH
apprenticeshipping (prof. oak/tracey)
there's that one scene at the beginning of the orange islands where ash calls oak and tracey has this ridic blush on his face as he talks to his ~idol and i'm just like "welp, there's no way i CAN'T ship this." BUT it was that part in the credits of movie 4 that really sold it for me, when (if my memory serves me) tracey finds some of oak's old sketches from when he was younger... wow. too cute.
bastilleshipping (reggie/hunter j)
ok well i think j definitely survived after the whole "sinking into lake valor" thing. and i love the idea of someone (aka reggie) finding her & helping her recover, only she has amnesia & doesn't remember who she is, eventually does remember but feels conflicted because she's basically become a different person/has learned to love, etc. etc. very silly and fanfiction-y, i know, but i can't get the idea out of my head :c
cometshipping (brodie/tabitha)
team magma has some attractive people in its ranks, i must say. (; i feel like these two wouldn't really get along, just because tabitha seems like kind of an a**hole (lots of love tabby) and brodie is so over the top and ~fabulous. however i still ship them pretty hard. they would definitely have a "begrudging" type of relationship - an "i can't stand you but i'm attracted to you" kind of thing. hehe
convenienceshipping (prof. birch/joshua)
honestly, this has less to do with any canon interaction (there's not much to go on) and more to do with my personal tastes. person who is very passionate about their work (perhaps to the point of being a bit flighty) x their assistant who is maybe just a bit harried and long-suffering? SIGN ME UP. |D
ღ curtainshipping (reggie/maylene)
i find this ship adorable. maylene is a very earnest person who, because of her lack of experience, is prone to doubting herself. reggie, on the other hand, is the "wise beyond his years" type. he has experienced a lot & has learned valuable lessons from it. i feel like maylene would definitely come to him for advice and perhaps develop a little crush along the way. c;
diamondshipping (giovanni/delia)
this ship reminds me of an old noir movie~ it's just so very classy, with plenty of potential for angst and sadness. i do quite like the idea of gio being ash's father - he decided it was better if delia & his son weren't tied to team rocket since it might put them in danger, and so he left them behind. (but he still puts money in her bank account every month, and sends gifts in the mail without a return address...) ;_;
ღ egoshipping (gary/misty)
it's interesting to me how different gary & misty's journeys ended up being. gary grew up majorly after his loss at the league in the original series, and he began to concentrate on a new, successful career as a researcher. whereas misty started the series without a concrete goal to speak of, and even after several seasons hardly changed at all. she never confessed her feelings to ash. she never found a real "dream" to aim for. in the end, she was still subject to her sisters' whims that forced her back to the cerulean gym without any other options in sight. and that is precisely why i think gary & misty would be perfect for each other - if anyone could inspire her to focus more on herself & her wants, it would be him.
factoryshipping (noland/sergio)
see convenienceshipping above. uwu
ღ ikarishipping (paul/dawn)
"opposites attract" has never been one of my favorite romance cliches, but for some reason i really love this ship. i think paul needs someone not to soften him up, but someone who will simply be straight with him and let him know when he's being rude. and dawn is a girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind & would never be dissuaded by his gruffness. the scene where he talks to her about ash is technically a small one, but it speaks volumes imho. he is only willing to open up to her b/c he recognizes how tough she really is under the happy-go-lucky exterior. if he didn't see this toughness in her, he would have never given her the time of day.
steelshipping (bashou/buson)
it's all about that casual relationship, man. clearly these are two people who know each other well & feel comfortable in each other's presence. they complement each other nicely - one aggressive, the other a bit more on the passive side; one planning, the other doing. it's a very yin/yang type of thing, although they definitely aren't polar opposites. overall i'm just a huge TR fan and these two are so fab together omg~
ღ wishfulshipping (cilan/iris)
so cute! no angst here; just preciousness. iris' deadpan responses to cilan's fanciful habits/whims is really adorable to me. in my opinion she probably finds it all terribly endearing, but forces herself to play the straight man so as to uphold her "mature young woman" image. (; a little bit of tsundere goes a long way, especially when dealing with a flamboyant personality like cilan's!
Spoiler:- g a m e:
alexandrianshipping (volkner/jasmine)
they would be really attractive together. UwU but other than that, i just love the parallels between sunyshore and olivine, compared with how different volkner & jasmine are. she's very softspoken & shy, while he's honest & confident (often to the point of boredom). i think they would balance each other out nicely in that regard!
blackthornshipping (lance/clair)
heh, incest. whoops. :x i love the idea of them as a couple though. growing up together in a remote mountain village, doing everything together, only for lance to eventually start surpassing clair in their pokemon training... and then he leaves to become a famous champion and she's left behind with only an inferiority complex to remember him by. :'( oh the drama of it all!
crystalshipping (eusine/kris)
fatherlyshipping (falkner/janine)
too kawaii for me to handle tbqh. they're both just awkward sheltered teenagers who are maybe a little out of touch with modern society, who like to sit around and compare daddy issues. what's not to love? <3 i ship 'em in mangaverse too, where falkner is an extremely nonthreatening police officer (;
ღ femmegymshipping (erika/sabrina)
erika's character - a prim and proper lady, very polite and gentle and kind, but perhaps with another more cunning & shrewd side to her underneath - has always intrigued me. and her interactions with someone like sabrina (who i've always imagined as being rather quiet and awkward) would be really interesting imo. it's a kind of pairing dynamic i've always loved - the confident, ~mysterious one and the one who is rather less so.
ferriswheelshipping (n/touko)
gibraltarshipping (noland/shelly)
one of my crackiest fav ships, and not one that i can really explain?? i can envision noland being involved with the weather institute though, which is where i think they might meet. (:
girlpowershipping (cynthia/dawn)
because it's super cute! that's a good enough reason, right? ;;
glistenshipping (candice/maylene)
ღ hardenshipping (archie/maxie)
you can just tell they have a history, y'know? they clearly have been at odds with each other for years and years, perhaps long before team aqua or magma existed. maybe they were friends once, but had a falling out due to their opposite ideals. maybe aqua & magma are just representations of their deep personal conflict. the possibilities are so dramatic & beautiful <3
heartscaleshipping (norman/wallace)
norman is the cutest. :> but he seems like a pretty straightforward guy. probably keeps things simple, probably has a set schedule he lives by every day, never does anything too crazy or over the top, etc. etc. wallace, being flamboyant & fabulous, is like the exact opposite of that. them together would be sooo interesting because i feel like it would take them a while to understand each other (but once they did it would be a v. adorable relationship).
heronshipping (brycen/skyla)
i found a cute fanart of this ship and fell in love with it tbh! hachiku seems so serious & a bit sad - he could use a freespirited person like skyla to soften him up and make him smile. <3 also she seems like she would be utterly oblivious to his past as a movie star, which would probably be a plus for him. i think it's a time in his life that he doesn't like to recall D:
ღ hoennchampionshipping (steven/may)
hmm, this is a hard one to explain. steven has always seemed like the kind of guy who gets a little too wrapped up in the things he loves. rambling on excitedly about rocks, vanishing on round-the-world expeditions for months on end, getting caught up in sudden whims, etc. etc. i feel like he would need someone a little more grounded, someone who could be his lifeline to reality so to speak. ;p may doesn't have much in the way of a canon personality but she could easily be that person. (mostly i just think they look good together aesthetically, heh)
ignitionshipping (flint/volkner)
"no love lost," eh volkner? yeah right. ;o it's obvious that they've been friends for many years (and in the anime of course this is indisputable) and know each other well enough to tease good-naturedly. i'm not normally into "best friend" ships but this is definitely an exception! volkner can be a little too serious at times, & he needs someone like flint to help him chill out~ (flint/volkner/jasmine OT3 is fab too)
ღ ironshipping (byron/riley)
hnngh so adorable. i have a ~thing for m/m ships with an age difference where the younger guy is obviously the one initiating things. byron definitely isn't withdrawn/stoic, but i still think he would be kind of awkward and tsundere in such a situation. >///< (lol oops, my "middle-aged men being cute" bias sure is showing on this list)
ღ ironwillshipping (riley/dawn)
similar to hoennchampion, my reasons behind this one are mainly aesthetic... riley is very much a charming prince type, while dawn is the beautiful princess! it's all very shoujo romance, isn't it? i feel like their eyes should have a bunch of sparkles... haha (p.s. the idea of a riley/dawn/cynthia OT3 pleases me as well)
jezebelshipping (petrel/lyra)
petrel is my fav TR admin! of the four of them, he is clearly the most easygoing, and perhaps the most likely to be swayed from the side of evil by a cute pigtailed teenage girl. ;c he's the type who would go "ah jeez" and give in to lyra's adorableness if she hung around long enough~
mizuhikishipping (cyrus/cynthia)
wow, ok, where to start with this one... i imagine cynthia as a person who thinks the best of everyone, and so would be able to see the good in cyrus & perhaps even sympathize with him. i love the idea of her going to the distortion world to reason with him/try to bring him back to reality. with someone supporting him & showing him that the world isn't quite as terrible as he believes it to be i think he could change. (: plus they make a very attractive pair!
northcircleshipping (falkner/morty/whitney)
most of my favorite threesomes follow the pattern of guy & girl in a relationship and then a second guy who is "welcomed in" so to speak. these 3 are the perfect example of that. i can easily see morty & whitney having a casual, "friendly" kind of romance and then sort of inviting falkner into the mix - of course he would be rather awkward and standoffish at first, but eventually he'd warm up to the idea. c;
ღ originalshipping (green/red)
yeah, i know it's called namelessshipping or w/e but idc. 8| they'll always be original to me! these two are the classic pairing imho, and in my mind they have such an interesting dynamic. childhood friends who drifted apart after one of them changed, eventually becoming bitter rivals... then there's the whole "red disappearing to mt. silver" thing. all that angst potential! i love it, dude.
redemptionshipping (silver/kris)
in my mind, kris & lyra are very different - lyra is a very upbeat, naive, "no worries" type, while kris is more serious and thoughtful. and i think in the end i like silver/kris more because he needs someone to understand him, not change him, someone who's just a solid, reliable presence when he needs them to be. someone who's always willing to listen & never puts him on the spot. (:
scientificshipping (fennel/prof. juniper)
"friends from college," eh? now that is a bit suspicious... ;o i think they would be a great couple - they have interests that overlap, so there's always something to talk about, and yet personality-wise they are definitely different, so their relationship would never get boring. i imagine that fennel has a lot of respect for the professor (and vice versa i'm sure), which could easily translate into some romantic inclinations~
thirdrailshipping (emmet/ingo/elesa)
ღ toxicboltshipping (lt. surge/koga)
my babies. :') god, where do i even start? the long, overly complex backstory-that-might-as-well-be-original-fiction i've thought up for them? or maybe just the fact that they hit all my narrative kinks? m/m pairing + one has a cute kid + a bit of an age difference + one is stoic while the other is more outgoing... i could go on. i will never not love the good ship toxicbolt~

My shipping List <3
Pearlshipping: Ash x Dawn - They are an amazing couple, so cute together.
Contestshipping: May x Drew - My first ship ever they have so much in common, and so many hints
Sommeliershipping: Cilan x Burgundy - Oh they're cute together, I think Burgundy channels her love for Cilan into revenge. xD
KissShipping: Ash x Melody - I love this one as well,not as much as pearlshipping,but I love how cute Melody & Ash look together. They also make Misty angry which I liked(:
Fatherlyshipping: Falkner x Janine - I love how they both look up to their father's so much.
LagomorphShipping: Buneary x Pikachu - Buneary's crush on pikachu is so cute.
Foxyvulpixie's awesome shipping list ^.^
Pokeshipping (Ash/Misty) - Omg since the beginning I knew they had a connection <3. They are my favorite Pokeship ship of all time and they are so perfect together ^.^. I think their personalities correspond well and they are just SO adoarble ;u; plus they are probably my most nostalgic couple and sometimes I get a little teary-eyed when I watch old AMVs of them together ;_;.
Final Fantasy
Cloud/Aerith (FFVII) - Hands down, number one OTP of all time! Their relationship is so beautiful and sad at the same time T_T. I love how they have a spiritual connection and how they can understand each other without even talking. Also, I think that opposites attract and that their personalities correspond well ^.^.
Tidus/Yuna (FFX) - Omg, another sad pairing T_T. Also, they are probably Square Enix's most canon couple ever ^.^! I mean they kissed in a lake under the night sky, how romantic is that? OK, they more like made out in a lake under the night sky, but if that doesn't show how in love they were with each other I don't know what does xD. And I looove Yuna and Tidus is perfect for her >u<. Plus, I looove Tidus and Yuna is so perfect for him ;u;.
Lightning/Hope (FFXIII) - My current FF OTP! Lightning and Hope are so cute together and I think they have a connection. Also, I love how Hope calls her "Light" ^.^. Plus, Hope is 26 in FF XIII-2 and Lightning is 21...so it could work out ;D.
Spoiler:- otp of otps:
Soulsilvershipping: This shipping is actually what brought me into the fandom. I just find the idea of them adorable - Silver who is a thief and can't accept his father, his past, and himself and Soul/Lyra/Kotone who is willing to accept everything about him. It makes me squeal every time they interact in the game! ; u; I'd like to this of this as a pairing where Soul sees through Silver and pretends to not notice until he's ready to talk about it. I'd also like to think that Silver finds Soul comforting because she's just always there.
Advantageshipping: I ship it because of the one chapter where Sabrina and Bugsy battled during the G/S/C arc. It's such a weird pairing because I don't think Sabrina is capable of loving (just yet), but Bugsy would just keep chasing her even though she is 3-4 years older than him. I like to think she eventually develops a soft stop for him.
Alexandrianshipping: This pairing is adorable. I think Volkner and Jasmine would go well together. They would be one of those super awesome I-can-understand-your-actions-and-what-you-are-trying-to-say because they can read each other so well. As a couple, I imagine as a really peaceful, and one that doesn't require "I love you"s to express their feelings. And she's gotta be in Sunnyshore for a reason, right? ;D
Slushshipping: I've actually never considered this pairing until I've read a fic by chandelure on ffn about it. But when I think about it, I can totally see it. (One-sided at least, on the behave of Flint.) I can totally imagine Flint who is looking longingly at Candice, who is looking longingly at Volkner, who is in love with Jasmine. I don't know, something about this pairing just really draws me in. Though this is a pairing I hate to love because of the lack of fics, it just gives me feels.
Jetlagshipping: Another pairing that I hate to love because the lack of fics and fanart. I stumbled across the only fic on ffn about them a while back, and while I never saw them together before, when I think about it, they would be totally cute. Appearance-wise, they are both hot, and put them together, it's like double the sexiness. I can see Cress as a gentleman, and Skyla as a happy-go-lucky person and idk, I just really like it because I think their dynamics would work well together.
Chessshipping: I've been shipping them ever since their designs came out. I had such high hopes that they would run into each other in the game only to find out you only get to met the other playable character ONCE. TT___TT I imagine White as a fun, party girl, and Black as the calmer of the two who keeps her in place. She brings fun into his life, an he teaches her patience and such.
Spoiler:- otps:
Grantedshipping: They're both children of the Viridian Forest, and they love just love pokemon so much. They both want to protect their pokemon, but they just have different ways of doing it. I think this is a cute pairing!
Gracefulshipping: THEY WERE CANON GUYS. They're both amazingly graceful, and I think they would be like the image of a perfect couple. Wallace might love his contests and his fans, but I think when it comes down to it, Winona is the person who matters to him the most. Winona constantly try to perfect herself to match Wallace, and it kills her inside. She really loves Wallace, but she's insecure so she breaks up with him. But I'd like to think they end up together again!
Candlestickshipping: I can see Steven as someone who Flannery doesn't have to act tough around. Flannery is a new gym leader, so she puts on a tough front when in reality, she's just a girl who's scared of spiders or something, and Steven sees that. They both don't have to put their acts around each other and let their walls down when they're together, is what I think.
Darkcastleshipping: Something about this just draws me in. You have Grimsley, who is a
vampiregambler, and Caitlin, who is literally Sleeping Beauty. I think somewhere between their awkward conversations, something just click in them that they would actually work. I'd like to think of them drinking tea in silence with the occasional glances.
...This ended up being more like my headcanons than actual reasons. ;_;
e, e, e, electric shock
The electric shocks are flowing down my body
About to faint, risky, e l e c t r i f y i n g
Set the voltage, love me
Im in shock
Ooooh, shippings! My favorite subject!
Here goes (I don't have many):
#1 RocketShipping
Spoiler:- Reasons:
So many...For starters, their polar-opposite personalities blend SO well. Secondly, they've been friends since like, age 10? They definetly have the most shippy scenes of any couple. Did you know that Rocket was the first Pokemon shipping? ^^
#2 ContestShipping Spoiler:- Reasons:
May blushes whenever she sees him, their competitive but also friendly relationship, yadda yadda. I think they (for lack of better words) blend well together. It's one of those couples that are kinda obvious.
#3 PokeShipping Spoiler:- Reasons:
I also kind of like OrangeIslandShipping, but I hate it when people ship two conflicting ships. So for the OS I like Poke, but I get the feeling that in AG she kinda got over him and moved on...or not.
I think this one's self explanatory. I don't ship them with the same passion as I do the first two, but I still like this ship. Misty obviously has feelings for Ash. "We'll be married some day, too." xD But I am torn...
Still thinking about Wishful... Spoiler:- undefined:
Iris does seem to grab Cilan's butt a lot xD
Friend Safari: Fighting with Meditite, Tyrogue & Sawk.
Kanto villains? Why are you here?!
Because Unova villains are too stupid to take over Unova![IMG]http://i57.*******.com/2a6uxwo.jpg[/IMG]Sig made by me, unfortunately.
My non-Pokémon shipping list:
Spoiler:- Professor Layton:
Layton x Claire: Anyone who's played the third game in the series should know that this pairing screams "adorable". Every single scene with them together makes me go "d'awwwww". It's just amazing that there was someone who could make Layton smile and blush like that. It's pretty much the canon, non-Pokémon version of PearlShipping for me.
Layton x Emmy: This pairing is mostly fuelled by fanart for me, but I still find them really cute together, and since I kinda view Layton, Emmy, and Luke as one family, they would go together well. And then there's the fact that an affair between them would cause DRAMA, which I luuuurve. >=]
Layton x Descole: The chemistry between them is just unbelievable, really, especially in the movie (Layton seems to have no qualms about getting physically close with Descole =p). And then there's the fact that Layton seems to recognize Descole when he first meets him, and that he recognizes him straight away just by looking at his castle... looks like someone's done a lot of research.
Luke x Flora: They'd look just so cute and adorable and fluffy and sweet and adjrshdhcjdw >////< Also, I loved how Luke tried to save Flora in the third game so bravely like that. It's just do sweet of him. OwO
Spoiler:- Harvest Moon:
Vaughn x Sabrina: Apparently this is a pretty unpopular ship (Vaughn x Chelsea pretty much dominates the fandom), but oh well. In my head I picture Vaughn to be cold and emotionless (which he is), but Sabrina to still care about him and never give up on him, and Vaughn eventually realizing his true feelings for her. Or something. =p
Kana x Georgia: They both love horses. They can go on rides up the mountain and enjoy the view from the lookout! Plus, they'd look cure together. (Yes, "looking cute together" is my most common reason for liking a ship =p)
Ash x Lilian: Aside from the fact that I named my character "Dawn" and tried to woo Ash, the fanfics and fanart really make them seem like a cute couple, and my headcanon is that they get married and their farm gets merged, and they start a nice big family.
Cam x Georgia: I have a whole web of headcanon for this pairing. One-sided love from Cam, one-sided love from Georgia, Cam finding Georgia's overly-cheerful attitude annoying at first but realizing that he actually enjoys her presence, Cam giving flowers to Georgia claiming that it's for her horses, Georgia bringing Cam some horribly-cooked lunch... A whole web of them.
Spoiler:- Other:
Harry x Luna (Harry Potter): I don't know why, I just look at their slight interactions and I think that they would've made a really good - if somewhat eccentric - couple together. They look cute together, too.
Phoenix x Maya (Ace Attorney): Because Pearl ships them... and I'm a PearlShipper... /lamepun I actually haven't played any of the games yet, but from what I've seen I think they'd make a good couple as well. I can't wait to play the crossover with Professor Layton so that I can see them interact with each other for real.
Spoiler:- Crossovers:
Layton x Cynthia (Professor Layton x Pokémon): Layton's an archaeologist, Cynthia's interested in mythology and lives in a region where there are many archaeological discoveries to be made... They'd have good chemistry together.
Will x Descole (Pokémon x Professor Layton): They both wear domino masks. Will is a Psychic-Type user, and Descole is very good at manipulating people's minds. That's it, really, but I'd love to see them together.
Will x Maya (Pokémon x Ace Attorney): I have no idea why, except for that fact that they're both psychics (technically). But I still like the pairing. XD

Mortals will face the wrath of my RAYQUAZAR BEAMProud to be a GreySkyShipper
Ery's Shipping List
Well, I think it's about time that I finally got a round to making one of these, don't you? I have a long list of shippings I support so if you read this, you may be here for a while haha
★★★★ - It's such an adorable pairing.
★★★ - It's so cute
★★ - Mehh, it's okay
★ - Wanna tell me why I support this pairing?
Pearlshipping (Ash/Satoshi x Dawn/Hikari) ★★★★★
This is the ship that got me into shipping in the first place, to be honest. The second Dawn was first introduced, I fell in love with this pairing. I thought they looked really cute together. Plus, they had such a deep bond and I love how they always supported each other; Dawn actually wore a cheerleading outfit for some of his gym battles and he never missed a single one of her contests. The high fives are my favorite thing about this ship because they showed just how close Ash and Dawn were to each other. And then there's High Touch, which is just the ultimate Pearlshipping hint, IMO. There are some lyrics in that song that friends just would not say to each other.
This pairing holds a very special place in my heart and this will always be one of my favorite ships, ever.
Contestshipping (Drew/Shuu x May/Haruka) ★★★★★
They just made this pairing so obvious in AG. Drew actually gave May roses, red roses. Of course he claimed they were for her Beautifly
which we all know they weren't (;but still. This pairing is just so cute and I'm proud to be a Contestshipper.
Wishfulshipping (Cilan/Dento x Iris) ★★★★★
It's cute and I just love their interactions. What more is there I can say about this pairing? Haha
Orangeshipping (Tracey/Kenji x Misty/Kasumi) ★★★★★
This is definitely my favorite pairing with Misty. The chronicles definitely showed that Misty and Tracey are still close with each other. Plus, they're so cute together as well.
LagoMorphshipping (Pikachu x Buneary/Mimiriol) ★★★★★
No, it's not because I'm a Pearlshipper. Buneary clearly had a crush on Pikachu and I think Pikachu also had feelings for her too but didn't realize it during DP. This pairing is just so cute.
Luckshipping (Brock/Takeshi x Pike Queen Lucy/Tube Queen Azami) ★★★★★
It's an adorabe pairing. Lucy is one of the few girl that has shown interest in Brock after he acted how he usually does. I mean, come on. She actually decided to take Ash on after he said something about having to come back. That's a pretty obvious hint, if you ask me.
Pokeshipping (Ash/Satoshi x Misty/Kasumi) ★★★★
This one isn't so bad. Although I'm a hardcore Pearshipper and think Ash belongs with Dawn, I grew up with the original series and this pairing as well. Misty's crush on him was cute and I definitely think it's possible that he may eventually grow to like her as well. If I had to choose another Ash-shipping besides Pearl, it would definitely be this one.
Comashipping (Paul/Shinji x Ash/Satoshi) ★★★★★
This is definitely my favorite yaoi pairing. They shared such a heated rivalry in DP, it's hard for me not to ship them together.
Collideshipping (Barry/Jun x Ash/Satoshi) ★★★
What is there I can say about these two? I honestly found it hilarious that whenever they ran into to each other, Barry would always collide with Ash. Yeah, this pairing is cute.
Specialshipping (Red x Yellow) ★★★★★
If there's ever a shipping that should become canon, it's this one. He saved her for a raging Dratini and even helped her catch her very first Pokemon. Her whole chapter is about saving Red. And when the Dex holders were turned into stone, he was even holding her in his arms. Pretty obvious if you ask me. I will go down with this pairing.
Oldrivalshipping (Green [male] x Blue [female]) ★★★★
Yeah, another Manga ship that I support. This pairing didn't exactly get much time to shine in the manga but it's definitely one of my favorites. Green actually had some petnames for her, like 'pesky girl' and 'obnixious woman' and she even said he was cute. I just love this pairing.
PreciousMetalshipping (Silver x Gold) ★★★★
This is one of my favorite ships from the Manga. No matter how hard he tried, Silver couldn't ignore Gold. Plus, when Gold saw the petrified Dex holders, he ignored the rest and ran up to Silver, promising to free them. What else is there to say? It's such a hot pairing and I can't help myself from supporting it.
Agencyshipping (Black x White) ★★★★★
When I started reading the Black and White chapter of the manga, I immediately fell for this pairing. We also got some hints. He calls her 'boss' and she did say he is handsome. What more is there I can say?

Specialshipping (RedxYellow) - Reasons:
This Paring is Majourly Cannon, Considering the fact that twice they show their soulmates (String tied around their little fingers), Yellow Bluses around Red A HELL Of a lot. Their Cute together, they are the: The Battle and the Healer, the perfect combo. Pika and Chuchu have a child (The First EVER SHOWN Pichu),
Transceivershipping (YancyxNate) - Reasons:They look good together, Yancy/Nancy has a MASSIVE Crush on Nate,
Pokeshipping (AshXMisty) Although I HATE Ash with a passion only rivalled by Red's love of Battling, I Think due to this being the only series i ever went out of my way to watch, it is still Cannon, considering they do kiss (To my understanding), plus Misty has got Crush on Ash (Why would she follow him around after he had soughted her Bike out....
Rangershipping (LunickXSolana): CANNON! Their names mean the Moon and the Sun.... Hint Much? They have matching Pokemon (Minun and Plusle) What else need's to be said?
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Fianceshipping (JadenXAlexis) - CANNOOOOOOON! Their even ENGAGED in the Anime! They Both Like each other.... plus they work together several times.
Thats all..... For Now
Alright, prepare for shipping lists.
Spoiler:- P o k e m o n:
ConjunctionShipping - Mars X Saturn ---- This pairing is so cute, they both serve Cyrus and Team Galactic. Plus i suspect some hints in the games that Mars does in fact have feelings for Saturn.
ContestShipping - May X Drew ---- Drew and May both do contests, and there are obvious hints that he has feelings for May. I just think that they both are cute together when they do contests together.
☆ FerrisWheelShipping - N X White ---- This was the first pairing i ever supported. Even since that famous ferris wheel scene in BW, i was hooked. Plus at the end of the game, N says to White. "I actually kind of liked you a little." I kind of fangirl-ed when i read that.
☆ IkariShipping - Paul X Dawn ---- Ever since i saw Paul in the anime and how Dawn acted, i've shipped them together. I thought it was cute how Paul talked to her differently than the others, it's just sweet.
IsshuShipping - N X Black ---- This goes the same for FerrisWheel, except it's kind of sweeter in a way. I love the way N talks to Black, and it kind of broke my heart when N flew away and just left him there wondering.
LuckShipping - Brock X Pike Queen Lucy ---- I find this pairing special, Lucy was the only girl who actually liked Brock back. At the end of that episode Brock actually asked Lucy to travel with him, which he never did to the other girls he liked. Also Lucy has pokemon with squinty eyes, just like Brock.
☆ MajoraShipping - Yamask X Duskull ---- I only recently started shipping these two, and I loved them from day one. They are both lost souls, hiding behind masks. It's just so sweet and sad.
NightLightShipping - Espeon X Umbreon ---- What can i say about this? This shipping is like day and night, light and dark. Espeon and Umbreon are opposites, and everybody knows that opposites attract. ;D
PokeShipping - Ash X Misty ---- Misty was the first girl Ash ever traveled with, the way they talk to each other is just adorable. From the episode when they met, i could just tell that they had some kind of spark going.
RocketShipping - Jessie X James ---- They've been together forever! They are so cute how they fight and talk, and I count Meowth more as their baby than their partner, heh.
☆ SequelShipping - Hugh X Rosa ---- Hugh knew and trusted Rosa since childhood, the way they interact is perfect. It's really sweet how much he cares for his sister and Rosa, i can just tell that they are the perfect couple.
☆ SimmerShipping - Flareon X Vaporeon ---- I've shipped them for a long time, Flareon and Vaporeon are two of my favorite pokemon. Their the original eeveelutions too, they both have been there since the beginning. Like i said before, opposites attract and the outcome is so perfect.
SingedLeafShipping - Flareon X Leafeon ---- Leafeon is so gentle and Flareon looks so fluffy... They both are so perfect for each other, if you can just look at them together.
☆ ShySerpentineShipping - Lucy X Morty ---- I actually created this ship. Even between regions I'm sure that both Lucy and Morty could meet someday, and they will battle each other.. SThey are just such a cute couple in my eyes.
SommelierShipping - Cilan X Burgundy ---- They are both connoisseurs with interesting personalities.. Burgundy is very outgoing and Cilan is collected. They just balance each other out.
☆ SoulSilverShipping - Silver X Lyra ---- I've shipped this for such a long time, when Lyra met Silver he was so hateful to everybody.. Except Lyra stuck with him and eventually changed his outlook in life. They are so sweet together, and i will ship them together until the end of time.
SpikyHairShipping - Saturn X Marley ---- They both have pointy hair and they both fight for what they believe in. Marley may keep to herself a lot, but i think that Saturn could actually help her come out of her shell. I find those two adorable.
SubwayShipping - Ingo X Emmet ---- This is more of a brother ship really, but they both work side by side. In front of the Nimbasa subway they had a battle together and i can just tell that their both competitive and they have a bond that cannot be broken.
TwinleafShipping - Barry X Dawn ---- They have known each other since they were little kids. Even though Barry is very hyper, Dawn is always by his side and stuck by him. I know that they have a bond, and it would be so sweet to see them together.
WishfulShipping - Cilan X Iris ---- What can I say? The interactions between them are so funny and cute, i really think that Iris is just hiding her feelings. They would be so epic together.
Spoiler:- H e t a l i a:

Unaccostumed, as I am to public speaking, or even verbal or written language in general, I'll nonetheless try to explain why I like these particular pairings.
Spoiler:- Favorite Adventures Shippings:
JadeShipping - Blue/Yellow
Blue could've given the feathers to anyone but Silver, but instead of Red, Green, Bill or Professor Oak, she chose Yellow, showing that she trusts her, more than Red or Green, and they look adorable together.
MangaPokeShipping - Red/Misty
All but stated.
QuietPairShipping - Green/Erika
I really liked what little interaction they had, and they seem like they would be good together.
AccidentialShipping - Gold/Whitney
Their interactions are fun to watch, and they complement eachother well. Plus, Gold sometimes need someone to keep him in line, and Whitney does that well.
IncidentalShipping - Silver/Jasmine
She's one of the few he goes out of his way to help.
FrontierShipping - Crystal/Emerald
Their older sister-younger brother dynamic is just adorable, interesting and a lot of fun to watch.
FranticShipping - Ruby/Sapphire
Because it's Canon, and her confession was justadorable.
CommonerShipping - Diamond/Platinum
Because it's literally almost Canon, and his devotion to her safety is touching.
MangaAvalancheShipping - Pearl/Candice
If you think about it, their core motivations aren't very different; Willpower and Focus are just two different words for determination. And they have so much else in common, personality-wise.
AgencyShipping - Black/White
Too many reasons to list, chief among which, the countless shipping hints.
TeaShipping - Bill/Daisy Oak
Again, highly hinted to be Canon.
ViaShipping - Celio/Lanette
One of my favorites, right up there with Jade and Frontier. They look like they would be great together, both professionally and romantically.
Yeah, my explanations suck, but you get the points.
Does anyone else like these, or am I the only one with such tastes?

I swear I didn't mean to kill that thread! Or the other one! Or any of the twenty-fifty threads I've killed. It was pure luck!
Okay, this list is not complete, but I had to choose some of my favourites.
Spoiler:- Pokemon - Human x Human:
Barry/Dawn (OTP forever <3, Mostly Game but also Anime)
I just love the Protagonist/Rival relationship. Mostly because it's more friendship-like and not like in the earlier games with Silver or Gary/Blue. Barry is my favourite character, because he's funny and cute and I think Dawn is one of the prettiest Pokemon girls out there.
Cheren/Bianca (Second OTP. I love how they "grew up" with the games and how long they've been together. )
Brendan/May (Pretty much the same explanation as above.)
Nate/Rosa or Curtis/Rosa (I'm not sure...)
Ethan/Kris (Yes, I like him more with Kris, than with Lyra. Still, in HS/SS it would be Ethan/Lyra for me. I sometimes think about Kris beeing jealous of Lyra XD)
Spoiler:- Pokemon x Pokemon:
Umbreon/Delcatty (I ship them 1. Because I own them in my game and 2. I saw some really cute art about them, which made me wonder about how they could be together)
Eevee/Vulpix (Pretty obvious, but still a really cute pairing)
All Eeveelutions with each other
Hero/Partner in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Spoiler:- Other Anime:
Ranma/Akane & Ryoga/Ukyo from Ranma 1/2
Konata/Kagami from Lucky Star
Many Hetalia pairings, most of them feauturing Russia/Ivan
Takari and PataGato from Digimon
Kouta/Lucy from Elfen Lied
Last edited by Chikita; 17th March 2013 at 11:41 AM.
(The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) Itsuki X Haruhi - I like Mikuru and Kyon better than Haruhi and Kyon. Plus, in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, Itsuki kind of had a thing for Haruhi. Oh, and some flirting here and there in the anime.
(The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) Kyon X Mikuru - Kyon's ALWAYS had a thing for Mikuru. Like I said, Haruhi is too impulsive and spontaneous for Kyon, so I prefer Kyon with Mikuru.
(Adventure Time) Fionna X Marshall Lee - Prince Gumball is too boring. Marshall Lee is way better, and we haven't really seen any other Princes in the Fionna and Cake episodes, except for LSP with a fuzzy mustache.
(Astarotte's Toy) Naoya X Mercelida - I just really don't like the thought of Naoya with his daughter's half-sister, even more so since he's a grown man and she's like 10. Plus, YOU HAD A GODDAMN CHILD WITH THE WOMAN. But that's not my point.
(Digimon Adventure 02) T.K. X Kari - Ugh, Davis and Kari is horrible. Besides, Kari and T.K. Have been together since the first Digimon Adventure.

my meme area
I have claimed Chimchar
Okay, so I really need to update this...
Spoiler:- Pokemon:
FerrisWheelShipping-♥♥♥ (Hilda/N): Ah, FerrisWheelShipping; the very first ship I ever truly supported. The Ferris Wheel scene, despite how "unromantic" as it was, will always be the sole reason I love this ship as much as I do. For some reason, I can't really see Hilda with anyone other than N. They just seemed... fitting. Sorta like a piece to a puzzle, I guess. :I That's all I really gotta say...
IsshuShipping (Hilbert/N): Ah, that pesky Ferris Wheel scene came up again, but this time for Hilbert. Pretty much the same reason why I support FerrisWheelShipping, only I'm not as close to it.
PreciousMetalShipping (Silver/Gold): What can I say? I'm a sucker for rival ships. >,<;
BurningLeafShipping (Red/Leaf): I absolutely LOVE shipping the female and male protagonists together; it just seems right. Though Leaf and Red don't exactly interact, it's still a sweet shipping in my eyes.
NewReplacementShipping (Lyra/Kris): Now, I normally don't ship my favourite character(s), with my least favourite character(s), but this is an exception. For some reason, I can see this strangely working out. ._.; Though Kris and Lyra never interact (canonly speaking, at least) I can see them at least being good friends. Not exactly a shipping I see as a "love" ship, more of a "best friend" ship.
FirstTrainerShipping-♥♥♥ (Red/Kris): Heh, what can I say? That scene on Mt. Silver might not of been romantic, but hey, it doesn't matter to me. I think the fanart is cute, plus Red needs someone to get him to say more than "...". ~.~
LuckyShipping (Red/Green [female]): This ship goes hand-in-hand with BurningLeafShipping. The fact that Green flirts with Red more than any other character is just adorable! :3
ChessShipping (Hilbert/Hilda): Remember when I said I can't see Hilda with anyone other than N? Well... I lied. D; Ah, I blame Hilbert's lines from the battle subway. Plus, like I said above, I almost always ship the protags together.
SoulShipping-♥♥♥ (Morty/Sabrina): Well, Morty is my favourite male gym leader, and Sabrina is my favourite female gym leader... ._.;
CoquelicotShipping-♥♥♥ (Red Eyes/Summer): Another villain/protagonist ship? Well, I like it for no reason in particular, other than the fact that it strikes me as..."cute". :T
ContestShipping (May/Drew): Rivalry ships, yay! To me, Drew seemed to have a crush on May (he gives her roses, after all)... And May seems to have a crush on Drew. (3 Eh...
AgencyShipping-♥♥♥ (Black/White): I can't really explain it... it's just really cute, in my eyes. :I
MangaQuestShipping (Crys/Gold): This ship goes hand-in-hand with NewBarkShipping (another protag/protag ship)... So, yea. :Y
NewRivalShipping (May/Wally): Yet another rivalry ship! I think Wally's determination is adorable, plus (like I said above), I'm big on rivalry ships. :3
NewBarkShipping-♥♥♥ (Kris/Ethan): Another protag/protag shipping!! Well, even though Kris and Ethan didn't interact, I just feel they'd have a good relationship. :P
CommonerShipping-♥♥♥ (Diamond/Platinum): Heh... A rather cute shipping, especially when considering the crush Diamond had on Plat. :3
Spoiler:- Nintendo:
Ninten/Ana (Mother 1): It's canon-ish. >.> Ana did have a crush on Ninten, after all. :P Plus, like Pokemon, I normally ship the male protag with the female... Well, it's more complicated than that, but...
Ness/Paula-♥♥♥ (Earthbound): ...The exact same reason why I like Ninten/Ana...
Kumatora/Duster (Mother 3): Kumatora was always teasing Duster... and ya know teasing is a big crush hint, and all. ;P
Daisy/Luigi (Mario series): If Mario has Peach, then Luigi HAS TO have Daisy. There's no way around it.
Tear/Luke-♥♥♥ (Tales of the Abyss): So many shipping hints! The blushing, the caring about others, the skits with just them... the other characters suggesting them being in love... being stuck together for the first half of the game... it just screams shipping. <3
Arietta/Ion (Tales of the Abyss): Ehhhh... Arietta had an obvious crush on Ion...
Asch/Natalia-♥♥♥ (Tales of the Abyss): Come on, now. Asch proposed to Natalia when he was little, and Natalia remembered that for, like, 10 years. Ten years! I think it's a really sweet ship, and a very plausible one at that. <3
Felix/Calhoun (Wreck-It Ralph): The ending of Wreck-It Ralph pretty much explains why I like this ship.
Spoiler:- anime:
Maka/Soul-♥♥♥ (Soul Eater): It's hard to explain... I mean, sure Soul is more attracted to Blair and all, but he's only in love with her looks. To me, Blair is just a pretty face, and nothing more; but Maka has everything. They obviously care about each other - why else would Maka still put up with him if she didn't? Plus, Soul seemed to have a crush on Maka (and vice versa)...
Prussia/Austria (Hetalia): ...I can't explain it... I guess the teasing/blackmailing attracted me to this ship, but...
Masane/Tozawa (Witchblade): I can see this ship working out well. :3 I haven't seen Witchblade in forever, but I still remember Masane and Tozawa's interactions by heart, and personally, I can see a relationship working out.
...short list. D;
Spoiler:- misc.:
Oz/Glinda (Wizard of Oz/Oz the Great and Powerful): I... I can't explain it...
Wonder Woman/Batman (DC Comics): It's canon-ish right? D;
Frankie Stein/Holt Hyde-♥♥♥ (Monster High): Well, what can I say? Canon ships are cute. ~.~
I'll edit this list when I start following another ship, or whatever...
Last edited by Estellise; 21st May 2013 at 1:12 AM.
Spoiler:- Pokemon(&Adventures!):
Commonershipping - Diamond & Platina
I don't remember reading this arc, but I have read some of it and I can't pair my baby Pearl up with Platina because I don't like her enough, but Diamond and her do have that whole "popular girl" and "poor boy" thing going on and it is kinda cute.
Franticshipping - Ruby & Sapphire
Her confession was the pitfall for me. I have liked this pairing ever since and enjoy their personalities and how they work in tandem with one another.
Gracefulshipping - Wallace & Winona
They are slightly canon! I mean, l were together, weren't, might be again. I don't know, but they honestly seemed to be a perfect pairing. They had the arguments and Winona knew what she deserved and you could see their pain when Winona first brought it up. Wallace's character makes for great fun as well considering that I love him dearly.
Grantedshipping - Lance & Yellow
One of the more popular crackships, I suppose. I just believe in redemption and clearly Lance didn't stay on the evil side, EX: Silver, and thus I think he could've picked his life up and carried on. I would've loved for him to go back to his roots and for Yellow to meet back up with him. This pairing, for me, works off that they understand each other more than anyone understands Lance or Yellow.
Luckyshipping - Red & Blue (female)
After picking Granted over Special, my mind told me to go with Lucky because at one point and time they both sort of liked each other. More than that, they showed an interest that Green hadn't shown in Blue and Red hadn't showed in Yellow. Plus Blue really deserves someone who actually likes her and doesn't tell her that she talks too much.
Masakudoshipping - Will & Karen
Just the inseparable pair from the Masked Man who become Elite? I don't know, but something about them makes it very easy for me to ship them or see them as really close siblings and it is teetering on that edge.
Preciousmetalshipping - Gold & Silver OTP
Blackmambashipping - Cheren & Roxie
I saw fanart.
Clingyshipping - Barry & Lucas
I love the game mechanics behind my Diamond game and how Barry is always there and up the protag's butt.
Dalishipping - Burgh & Shauntal
This is because of my distaste for Rolandshipping. I think that Burgh and Shauntal could have an adorable relationship with Burgh illustrating her stories, or her narrating his drawings.
Darkcastleshipping - Grimsley & Caitlin
I love the whole princess/prince vibe that this pairing gives off. Caitlin always seems to be such a princess, but I have a feeling that Grimsley would treat her like a princess more than anyone.
Dualrivalshipping - Cheren & Bianca
In the White/Black 2 games, they are simply too adorable for words even if they hadn't seen each other in two years (where was Cheren??), but they are definitely a small thing at the least.
Fatherlyshipping - Falkner & Janine
I blame roleplayers.
Ferriswheelshipping - N/Natural Harmonia & Hilda
I roleplayed Hilda before it was cool and fell in love with this ship. The fanarts, fanfiction, and AMVs for this pairing are adorable and sad.
Frenchshipping - Juan & Fantina
Pretty much two weirdos that I could definitely see getting together.
Huntershipping - Ethan/Hibiki & Silver/Rival
Preciousmetal in the games, what more can I say.
Livecastershipping - Curtis & Rosa OTP
Sleepparalysisshipping - Volkner & Caitlin
I think that Caitlin might develop a crush on Volkner because of his good looks and act odd around him, but I don't really support the development of a full-blown relationship.
Soulshipping - Morty & Sabrina
Too much good fanfiction, really. Plus their name is Soul, so the red string of fate story always just reminds me of them and I think it is adorable.
Sunnyshipping - Flint & Jasmine
A lot of people ship Ignition, but I could definitely see Flint liking Jasmine moreso than Volkner in a romantic sense, I don't really know why, but it happens.
Transceivershipping - Nate & Yancy
It is nearly the same as Livecaster, even if I hate Yancy.
Cheerfulshipping - Kenny & May
Their personalities are enough for me to approve of this, plus I don't really like Dawn picking Ash over Kenny (even if she left a note), so this is my alternative.
Coldcoffeeshipping - Barry & Paul (One-sided)
Barry's reverence of Paul and his skills is adorable. It would only work one-sided because Paul is pretty much an emotionless prick.
Curtainshipping - Reggie & Maylene
They are total cuties. What I saw of Diamond and Pearl had me liking this pairing lots.
Egoshipping - Gary & Misty OTP
Festivalshipping - Harley & Solidad
I don't really know why I ship it, but Solidad would probably be the only one able to accept Harley's weird antics and think of them as heartwarming instead of creepy.
Flarebustershipping - Trip & Georgia
They were pretty much made for each other and have enough loathing towards Ash and Iris that they could easily never run out of conversations.
Handymanshipping - Tracey & Daisy OTP
Lagomorphshipping - Pikachu & Buneary
Buneary's crush was too cute!
Pearlshipping - Ash & Dawn
My alternative to Penguinshipping since I think Dawn isn't a horrible character, plus the hints and the moments they had were pretty adorable.
Questshipping - Jimmy & Marina
I loved their little arc and it was clear that there were feelings there.
Solarbeamshipping - Pansage & Emolga
Casually shipping Wishful's pokemon together.
Wishfulshipping - Cilan & Iris O T P FOREVER
Spoiler:- Naruto:
Spoiler:- Hetalia:

I seriously ship a lot of people a but too much toblist them all I will list a few. I ship anime , but also non anime :P.
Hikari and Kei -> Special A
Because the two of them are just too adorable. Hikari who is too dense to notice that Kei likes her or Kei who is always jealous that other guys look at her xD The romantic tension between the two are just perfect :3 I went totally nuts when Kei wanted so badly Hikari to stay with him when he was ill.
Tori and Beck -> Victorious : Now, no offense to other shippers, but it was pretty clear that it was love at first sight. He always helps her in any ways and in Tori goes platinum he wantes to kiss her! Two times and then suddenly poof these feelings are gone.
Dylan and Elaine (Xinyi) -> Destinied love (Ming zhong zhu ding wo ai ni) Chinese drama :P. Well I ship these two because they are made for each other. Dylan really cares about her and waits for her for already more than two years! He is the perfect man for her and yet she returns to the other guy, why why why?!
Lydia and Edgar -> Earl and Fairy (Hakusaku to Yousei) : Edgar is always like showing his affection towards Lydia yet, she always denies it and thinks that he is a playboy. Isn't that cute? He is so serious yet he doesn't believe him, but she does likes him back. Ah, so adorable xD! I think they are just made for each other, in my opiniun it seems that Lydia keeps Edgar together, she is like his only hope.
Felicitá and Libertá -> Arcana Familigia They are much more suited for each other than Nova with Felcitá. I adore Libertá he really cares a lot about her and when he is ignoring her she is sad. I just think it's so sweet how a guy is fighting so hard for a girl, it gets me all hyped up!
Aoi and Oga -> Beelzebub I think that Aoi is the only human being as a girl who can match on Oga. Oga might be way stronger, but Aoiis strong and even Baby Beel agrees she is strong and like her. I don't know why, but Hilda and Oga just doesn't seems a good match for me.
Medaka and Hitoyoshi -> Medaka Box They have been friends since forever and they understand each other the most. It was pretty damn clear that Hitoyoshi was head over heels for Medaka and how Medaka was always jealous for Hitoyoshi and Shiranui getting along too much, tehehe xD
Takumi and Misaki -> Kaichou wa maid sama : Yup they are together and seriously made for each other. So cute how Takumi always gets her frutrated and how Misaki gets him jealous, just too adorable. How Takumi always cares about her and he really shows it and she also cares about him.
That was a few of my shippings :3 I can't think of much more at the moment.
(They say cottoncandies are like dreamy pink clouds ~ Swirlix ❤)
I still have no life. Kukuku ~
Breeding is life perhaps...
My FC? Hmm..

An Act
To establish procedures for national criminal background

80 percent for final dispositions in all identifiable child abuse
crime cases in which there has been an event of activity within the

reporting, including data quality audits and periodic notices to criminal
justice agencies identifying records that lack final dispositions
and requesting those dispositions.

(a) IN GENERAL.–(1) A State may have in effect procedures
(established by State statute or regulation) that require qualified

bears upon an individual's fitness to have responsibility for the
safety and well-being of children, the elderly, or individuals with

under paragraph (2); and
(E) notifies the provider that prior to the completion

(2) that each provider who is the subject of a background
check is entitled-
(A) to obtain a copy of any background check report;

(2) The Attorney General shall, to the maximum extent
possible, encourage the use of the best technology available in conducting

a qualified entity, the fees collected by authorized State agencies
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation may not exceed the actual
cost of the background check conducted with fingerprints. The States

This week my Facebook and Twitter feeds have blown up with many smiling faces of ladies learning to fly, or getting back into flying. That's because the skies of Vernon, Texas, are filled with the Girls in Flight Training (GIFT) participants.
I went out to GIFT last year and spent a couple days with the GIFT gang, led by designated pilot examiner Mary Latimer; her daughter, Tamara Griffith, a CFI; and granddaughter Amanda Griffith—who, at age 18, had just become a CFI. Here's the complete article.
Briefly summarized, Mary wants to create more women pilots, and she does that by conducting a free week of flight instruction for women, aimed at helping them get over hurdles, or make them more comfortable with notion of flying. Here's a video of the 2012 event.
Some people periodically question why we need programs like GIFT that are aimed at getting more women to fly; or Girls With Wings, which strives to introduce girls to flight at a young age; or the global Women of Aviation Worldwide Week, which seeks to celebrate women in aviation while introducing women to the opportunities that aviation offers.
Their arguments generally run along these lines: Women aren't being held back from flying, so why should a special effort be made to include them?
The best counter-argument to that likely comes in the form of a survey of airline travelers conducted in the United Kingdom, published this week in the U.K. Telegraph. The survey found that 51 percent of respondents said they would be "less likely" to trust a female pilot. The survey polled nearly 2,400 survey respondents, all of whom had taken a flight in the previous year, according to an article in the Telegraph.
It would be easy to say that the British survey respondents are harboring some stereotypes, or that perhaps they just are a little off-base in what they want from an airline crew. (A survey conducted in 2012 among 1,000 British travelers found that a majority of respondents prefer their airline pilots have a Home Counties accent—I'm not sure what that is—and they found Cockney and midlands accents least reassuring. But I digress.)
I'd like to think that a survey of 2,400 U.S. travelers would be a little more progressive in their responses–but I can't say for certain that they would be. Women make up just 6 percent of the U.S. pilot population and represent 5 percent of airline cockpit crews. So, until such time as the sight of a woman in an airline uniform is as unremarkable as the sight of a woman in a doctor's white coat or any other professional occupation, I will say that we need female-centric programs like GIFT (and GWW, and WOAW, and the Ninety-Nines, and Women in Aviation International…).—Jill W. Tallman

Unusual conditions of time off, identical balls help elite bowlers
Scott Salminen has completed a trifecta of U.S. Bowling Congress honor scores this season.
Already with a near-perfect 298 game and three-game series of 803 in January, the 35-year-old Negaunee resident added perfection to his 2012-13 resume on Feb. 22 with a 300 in the Friday 800 Mixed League at Superior Lanes in Marquette.
He opened with the 12-strike game before tacking on 257 and 220 for 777.
Meanwhile, about a week later, Ishpeming resident Mike Kulju rolled a 299 game in an 815 series during a tournament at Sault Ste. Marie's Dondee Lanes.
Kulju, 25, has been one of the best bowlers in the area since he was in high school, so nothing seemed too unusual about this feat.
Nothing except for the fact that this Michigan State University student hadn't bowled a single game all season.
I heard that he had to buy a USBC sanction card before he bowled, since his had expired. And these cards are good for a year when you purchase them.
You might call it beginner's luck, except that Kulju is about the furthest thing you can get from a beginning bowling.
Back to Salminen's perfect game, his 11th overall but first in three years, he said it was one of the best games he's bowled in awhile as far as consistently hitting the strike pocket.
"Once I got started, everything just started clicking," he said.
He thought he could shoot another 800, but couldn't get all 10 pins to fall on good shots in the final game.
A key to his success was recently getting not just one new ball, but two. Not two different brands, though – no, Salminen got two of the same ball, both of them bright yellow Storm IQ Tour Pearl reactive resin balls.
Sounds a little silly, eh? Unless you need matching bookends in your home library. But Salminen wasn't about to make expensive bookends or paper weights out of these "weapons."
Instead, he had each drilled in a different orientation to the ball's interior weight block, creating balls that act in different ways when they travel down the lane.
I've mentioned in this space before that elite bowlers know there's a lot of physics involved in how the ball travels and the angles and placement of where it hits the pins.
Even if you set Salminen's two IQ Tour balls side by side, you might be hard-pressed to notice the differences between how they're drilled. You'd have to look for how the holes are placed in relation to the ball's labels and its "pin," a half-inch to inch wide colored dot on the ball surface.
They tell a pro shop operator how the interior weight block is placed and oriented for drilling purposes.
Why is that important? Think of a basketball, but one where a fairly large amount of tinfoil was flattened on the surface in one spot and taped to keep it in place.
Now roll this ball on the floor. Imagine how the ball isn't going to roll very evenly, either changing direction toward the lump if the tinfoil is to the side in relation to the direction it's moving, or rolling fairly straight but nearly stopping if it rolls directly over the tinfoil spot.
To a much lesser extent, a bowling ball weight block acts like the tinfoil. In today's bowling balls, an odd-shaped weight block and not having it placed dead center can make a ball pull a bit. But the USBC has rules stating balls can only be a few ounces off-balance, not much compared to the 14, 15 or 16 pounds of an entire ball.
But with the spin bowlers impart, it still creates a hook in the ball's path sometimes even wider than the entire lane.
Way back in 1997, I saw righthanded pro bowler Steve Hoskins roll a 300 on TV where he released the ball in the air over the left gutter, sending the ball out to within a few inches of the right gutter then having it come back to the strike pocket.
Let's see, that's the full width of the lane to get from the left gutter to the right gutter, then half the lane to return it to the head pin in the middle of the lane.
With a lane being 40 narrow strips of boards wide, that's about 60 boards his ball hooked.
That would be an impossible feat using a 1950s-era black rubber ball with a little round weight block.

Not a seasonong issue in my opinion. Your non crisp pie perfectly mirrors my results with a steel plate. Floppy unpizzalike crusts. I think steel is a bit too efficient with energy transfer.
The stones absorb a lot of the moisture in the dough and leave a nice crisp bottom.
As I mentioned above, the faster the bake, the less water evaporation, the softer/floppier the crust. It's not the energy efficiency, but the bake time that dictates floppiness. Conductive materials will produce identical results at lower temps. A 4 minute pizza baked at, say, 600 on cordierite will be perfectly identical to a 4 minute pizza baked at 500 on steel.

911: "I just witnessed a Navy jet crash west of me"
SPOKANE, Wash. - Callers describe an aircraft accident, a Navy jet orbiting overhead and seeing a black plume of smoke and fire on the ground in 9-1-1 calls in the moments after a Whidbey Island-based EA-6B Prowler crashed in Lincoln County Monday.
Three Naval aviators assigned to VAQ-129 "Vikings" based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station were killed in that crash Monday morning.
In all there were six calls placed to 9-1-1, three from one man who saw the plane go down and then tried to get to the location to help firefighters find the crash site. Each caller sounded surprisingly calm as they described to dispatchers the deadly crash.
911: 911, what's the location of your emergency
Caller: I'm located [at] Coffeepot and Lance Road
911: Okay.
Caller: And I just witnessed a Navy jet crash west of me.
911: A Navy jet crash?
Caller: yeah one of the fighter jets that maybe comes from Whidbey Island that do their testing in this area
Seconds later more calls into 9-1-1; one woman reported seeing the Prowler fly by and then says she heard an explosion. The operator asked her if it was a sonic boom and she said no because of the thick black smoke in the sky.Prowler 911 calls
911: Do you see the plane?
Caller: Yeah, I can see the smoke and fire, looks like its spread all over the place. And we have an A6 Grumman jet circling our place like crazy
911: Yep, that's the wingman. We've got help en-route
Caller: Okay, wasn't sure if it was a cropduster or what was down
On Thursday, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office escorted the remains of the three aviators killed in the crash. Lt. Cmdr. Alan Patterson, 36, Lt. Jg. Valerie Delaney, 26, and 24-year-old Lt. Jg. William McIlvane died when their Prowler crashed into a field.
People turned out on the main streets of Harrington, Davenport and Reardan to watch the procession and pay their respects to the fallen aviators.

Counseling doctoral students George Harrington, Catherine Valencia, Laura Meyer, and Nicole Berry received honorable mention (fourth place) at the American Counseling Association (ACA) 2012-2013 Graduate Ethics Competition.
The American Counseling Association (ACA) graduate student ethics competition allows counseling students across the country to respond to an ethical dilemma and demonstrate their ethical decision making, critical thinking, and scholarly writing skills. This national competition serves to educate members of ethical issues and to engage student members in critically analyzing potential ethical dilemma within the field.
Advisor, Dr. Lauren Shure, boasts about her students' accomplishments, "I think it is a reflection upon the quality of our students, as well as the quality of education and training that students receive here, that this talented group of Barry students placed fourth in this national competition. They certainly make Barry University and our counseling department proud!"
