idk I kind of feel like if all your ships always in forever have never had any popularity, then I feel like either you must only hang in fandoms that don't have much fan activity to start with, or you only ship really minor characters, or characters that almost never interact. Sure, occasionally a really awesome pairing slips through fandom for whatever reason, but in my experience in any decent sized fandom, most main characters will always get shipped with the other main characters, especially if they've actually interacted in the series.

It's not that unusual. "Never been that popular" doesn't mean it doesn't have any popularity or that no one at all besides OP ships it. It just means that it never got the traction that juggernaut ships did, and resultantly has less selection wrt fic and art and meta.

DA

I think the activity level is possibly a factor. When my last fandom was at it's height, one of the most popular ships was for a pair that hadn't even interacted in canon.

This is so common! And so frustrating!

Especially if you ship one of the members of this pairing elsewhere, with someone they actually did have a lot of canon interaction with, yet it remains a rarepair next to the other.

NA

This isn't the case with me and anime fandoms. Almost all of my anime pairings are rare. (Mainly sports) They all include the main character. And the other person in the pairing is on the same team (and has a significant role), and they interact enough.

But still rare because it's not the best friend pairing or the 'main partnerships'.

And in one case, my ship is even the rival one but it still gets pretty ignored in western fandom.

I understand that. There are some pairs that do interact a lot and have a good relationship but people just ignore it because they already have a popular ship.
