...and just how badly would you disappoint OP of #4?

Andy/Lorna and it would send OP4 into fits as this mid to late 20s woman seduces and manipulates a 15/16 year old boy.

I don't like any age difference ships with characters under 17.

Sorry OP.

I mean, that's ok? So your ship wouldn't disappoint No. 4. That doesn't mean it can't be an age-difference ship?

I'll go for the original Kirk/Spock. Although #4 would probably be disappointed in that all of my age-difference ships involve adults on both ends. (Then again, maybe not. Some of them might call my LTR creepy because my partner is 8 years older.)

I wasn't trying to shame anyone with my secret. I was merely trying to say I felt bad for in the past shipping adult characters with minors. I don't care what anyone else does as long as fics are properly tagged. I'm not "disappointed" with anyone but myself.

Ayrt
No worries! I was being facetious.

I can only speak to what feels wrong to me. Sorry for coming off preachy. I've been on tumblr too long...

I don't ship but I'm totally okay with people whatever the fuck they want in fiction, so probably a lot.

I used to have ships with Rikku from FFX but then I found out she was 15. She doesn't look 15. I can't help wondering if she's 15 in Earth years or what, since she was going around talking about being old enough to get married. But I don't write fic about her anymore now that I know.

In Spira, it seemed perfectly normal for 15 year olds and older to get married because of Sin coming back every 10 years after his death. You had to get married young in order to have a chance to even have a few kids before Sin came back!

So, err, don't feel bad. Thankfully in X-2 she's 17 and still not married!

Her watercolor artwork made her look young, but that didn't really translate well into the 3-D IMO. Though her clothes in comparison to adult Al Bhed are very "juvenile" in proportion and with all the RUFFLES. No one else in the Al Bhed has ruffles. No one. It's so confusing. She also has a very young Japanese style to her rather than American.

I don't have any ships with minors, with the exception of one where they meet when she's 17, though I never write anything physical between them with her at that age. But as far as adults many of my ships have wild-ass age differences. (In the "worst" one she's 19 and he's 69 and I don't even care because they're fictional.)

One of my OTPs is a 20 year old and a 50 year old, the other one is mid 20s-early 30s with a late 40s-early 50s-looking person who’s probably a couole hundred years old, but the younger half of the pairing grows old and dies at 80-something while the older doesn’t physically age. There are a couple 16 year old with 30 year old pairings from books that I don’t mind, but I don’t seek out fanwork for them.

I guess I'd distinguish between "I like the dynamic between these two characters, and yeah, I guess there's an age difference" and "I like these two characters together BECAUSE there's an age difference."

In the former, I guess Pegasus and Kaiba from Yugioh. In the latter, none, since that older/younger dynamic doesn't appeal to me.

I mix my age difference ships with other unequal power dynamics like mentor/mentee, boss/employee, teacher/student, and incest.

I've got some skeevy teen girl/adult man ships from when I was a teen myself.

I'm not into new ships like that that these days though, still like age-gap pairings but the minimum age has gone up as I've gotten older. And it's at least partly because I'm not really interested in teenage characters anymore.

Cartoons is where it's a bit more up in the air because unless they're 10 it's not always obvious how old they're supposed to be.

lmao the number of student/teacher ships I have in HP would probably make them cringe.

Sauron/Celebrimbor. Both immortal, but one is older than time and the other was born. And it is definitely an unhealthy, creepy ship.

Buffy/Angelus. She's 16, he's 200something. And he's evil.

Dean/Alistair. One is a demon, the other is a normal(ish) human.

I really wanted there to be some kind of good/happy ending for Mathilda and Leon, from 'The Professional'. Mostly because he seemed so childlike and utterly innocent of actual sexual...*stuff*.

But i never wrote it (didn't inspire me that much).

Mai/Joey (though I'm not sure how old Mai is, but I know she's an adult and Joey's high school) and Dean/Cas are the only ships I have with a big enough age difference. Everyone else is either the same age or a year older/younger.

Mai is 24, iirc.

Most of my ships with noticeable age differences involve at least one immortal character - Cyclonus/Tailgate, Laura/Carmilla* (book, not webseries), Amethyst/Vedalia, Amethyst/Greg...Amethyst/Pearl is a pretty major age difference, too, and A/Peridot probably is...

* I actually like Vampire/Human in general, but this is the only pair I have who aren't OCs on both sides...

Jareth /Sarah, always! When I was younger, I also shipped younger characters and/or OFCs with older partners because they were stand ins for myself.

OH SO MANY!

YT / Raven (Snow Crash)

Jasmine / Jafar (Aladdin)

Alice Liddle / Dr Bumby (Alice: Madness Returns)

Femshep / Aria (Mass Effect 2/3)

My Malkavia / Jeanette / Therese Voerman (Vampire the Maskerade: Bloodlines)

My Malkavia / Velvet Velour (Vampire the Maskerade: Bloodlines) ... My Malk is a slut, I know.

Elizabeth / Booker De Witt (Bioshock Infinite)

Dagger / Steiner (Final Fantasy IX)

Ciri / Geralt (The Witcher)

Panda Delgado / Clownface (Bodybags) Pretty much just art for this one, but it's SUCH GOOD ART

Quiet / Snake (MGSV)

Rikku / Auron (Final Fantasy X)

Rogue / Professor X (X-men)

Kitty Pryde / Emma Frost (X-men)

Rose Wilson / Slade Wilson (DC)

Nick/Ellis from Left 4 Dead 2, they have a 12-year age difference.

My current OTP has only a five year age difference, but they're brothers so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And I have written some underage fic with them too, back when they were younger.
