Re: Patterns in your favourite characters and ships

[(Anonymous)]

Character types: Characters with identity issues are catnip to me. First one I liked: Terra from Final Fantasy VI. I don't really seek this out; it's just something I reliably latch onto and enjoy when watching media.

Ship dynamics: I don't really have a consistent pattern. Probably, at a very broad level, I tend to like "friends to lovers" ships (including "childhood friends" type ships) -- well, at least more than the population more generally does. But I don't think it's something I NEED for shipping or which automatically makes me hit the ship button; I just notice it's a common feature among maybe 70% of my ships -- but then again, it's a very broad trope so even that isn't all THAT surprising. And a lot of my friends-to-lovers ships have very different friends dynamics: friends who were once close and grew apart, rough-housing friends, old friends who met each other fairly late in life, teammates, BFFs, lord/vassal or master/servant where the vassal has been serving the lord for a long time and feels comfortable being quite blunt with the lord, friends that started out as rivals but then forged a bond through fire, etc.

First one of this type that I liked? Probably Cogsworth/Lumiere and Bagheera/Baloo, which I think are similar pairings! And no, I don't seek them out because they're everywhere in media. But they also tend to feature quite a lot in love triangles where the "friend" love interest is the losing side of that triangle, so watching things with love triangles is usually a disappointing experience for me.
