shipper angst

Contrived and torturously convoluted writing of a TV show’s characters’ relationships, done simply for the sake of interjecting more ‘drama’ into the series.

Shipper angst typically includes elements of lose, conflict, jealousy, and both real and perceived infidelities, that adversely affect and influence the thoughts and actions the show’s characters. While these elements are standard ingredients of good drama, their overuse is unmistakable evidence of the kind of hack writing that reduces TV series drama to mere melodrama.

I stopped watching ‘Battlestar Galactica’ in the middle of the third season. I just couldn’t stand watching any more of that silly shipper angst.

Shiphrah 

Shiphrah is an amazing person who loves to smile and laugh and make others smile. Even if you are down she will motivate you to look on the bright side. BUT if you use her or get on her bad side, you are digging your own grave she wouldn't hurt you (if you don't touch her) she will just make you feel miserable without even doing nothing. She is the most generous person in the world and would do any thing for the people she loves. EVERYONE NEEDS A SHIPHRAH IN THEIR LIFE!

"Shiphrah is my best friend she stood up for me the other day."

Shipping crate 

Shipping crate is an insult towards dodge trucks with cummins engine in it. The insult is that dodge trucks suck and there only good for there Cummins engines. The truck is the shipping crate and the cargo is a Cummins engine.

Person 1 “eh look it’s a stupid shipping crate”
Person 2 “what that dodge truck there bud”
Person 1 “yeah that shipping crate”

Shipbaiting 

When the author of a work places characters in potentially romantic situations with the intent of teasing of the audience. Nothing ever comes of these situations.

Mike and Bryan were totally shipbaiting the audience with the trailer of Katara hugging Zuko.

shipping war 

A shipping war is when two or more people have an argument over a paring of most likely fictional characters. Often fan art of the ship that lets say, person A likes will be sent to person B to upset them and vis versa. Shipping wars are either to prove the others ship wrong, to get the person to abandon their ship, to start shipping the pair you do, or simply to anger someone. Usually each person will bring up cannon situations and parts of the movie/book/show/manga/anime/etc to either back up why they ship that pairing or to prove why the other ship is irrelevant. Shipping wars can be long and tedious especially if a large group is involved. If someone's OTP is involved the war will most likely be longer and will be more like a flame war. If the same character is involved but each person ships them with a different character the war will be more hate filled and canon will be used a lot. If your ship has liittle to no canon backing it up you will most likely loose. Canon is an essential in a shipping war.

Let's say two people in the Attack on Titan fandom had a shipping war

Person A shipped Levi x Eren but Person B shipped Levi x Hanji. Because the character Levi is in both ships, conflict will arise. Person B would be at a canon advantage because there is more of a history and friendship with the characters. They could all so bring up canon examples of when the characters Levi Eren didn't get along. And if all fails bring in the factor of age, Eren only 15 while Levi is 34. Person A won't have really any canon to back them up so the best they could do is resort to fanart to either annoy or get Person B to at least understand their ship.
