A comfort ship is a ship that when you see content of, it can help boost your mood. It can also be a ship that you hold very close to you, and that you love so much that it radiates comfort. Basically, it's just a ship that gives you good vibes from their chemistry and interactions <3. There's also a good chance someones comfort ship might also be their OTP.

Note; A comfort ship doesn't need to be one without any angst. There are a lot of ships people say are their comfort ships that end up not happening and/or have angst in them. Nor does a comfort ship need any sad themes to be one.

Person 1: "Is this your comfort ship?"
Person 2: "Yup! It is <3. I love those two so much!!"

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:

Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
