Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Anons, what do you do when you find yourself shipping your character with another but don't really know the other player that well to talk about it?

I can live without it, but at the same time I sometimes wonder if the other player ships it. We thread a good bit and the characters have a fun and interesting chemistry even if it's not really romantic.

I'm too embarrassed and shy to tell anyone though, especially the other person. I don't want them to think I just want a ship, and I'm afraid that they might not feel the same way so I don't want to make them feel awkward. It would be different if they were someone I knew, but I don't talk to them much... I just don't know how someone would feel if they were suddenly told I shipped their character with theirs. It seems really awkward.

Should I tell them and risk a bad end or should I just keep it to myself and silently hope things change through threading?

I would tell them more or less what you told us here--that you're fine with not shipping, but you really like how the two characters interact so you wanted to know how they felt about the pair. Make it clear that you're totally fine with the CR staying platonic if they'd prefer, and I think you should be fine.

i'm in a close situation to this but i'm keeping it to myself for now until we get a little further in our 'verse to avoid awkwardness and get a feel for if they want to develop things like that.

if you're far in development though it can't hurt to suggest it casually that maybe you could see how a relationship between the two would work based on *example or two*.

When I was in this situation I just told them on a love meme. Simple, convenient, and next thing you know our characters are an item!

Tell them anon. I did, and now I'm playing out the adorable awkward ship I've always wanted.
