Harli and Eddith, they were just friends. they supported each other, yes, but not romantically. A wholesome boy girl friendship. I'm just afraid people will see how Harli has no love interest, they were close when Eddith was alive, it would be easy to just make some assumptions and make them a couple. but they were amazing friends, making them romantically involved would ruin the bond they had.

Doc and Notorious;

Just because their colors and mannerisms reflect that of a certain french animated series does not mean it is that certain french animated series

Anyone! (With the exception of Michael and Felix.)

My story has characters who only view each other as friends (despite Felix who has feelings for Michael, but Michael doesnt return them). Some have large age gaps that just don't work. Others have possessive and obsessive issues. A lot just have so many problems that love isnt even fathomable to them. Some aren't looking for love. Some literally hate each other to the point of attempted murder. I know it's a bit boring without shipping characters, but with this specific story, characters just shouldn't be shipped. Yes, there are emotional heart-to-heart moments where people will take it that the characters like each other. Nope. They are just being nice. My characters are not the romantic types. I literally do not ship any of my characters with each other. None of them would make a good pair.
(But they do have some great friendships)

@Oakiin

if ANYONE ships Itha and Osric, I will SHOOT THEM ALL. They genuinely hate each other, and it's not a cute kind of hate. There it nothing remotely positive about their relationship.
Also, Anthony and Ram. I get it, they're the bros, but Ram is in a relationship and that deserves to be respected. He 10/10 would have dated anothony, but he doesn't have even one regret about his choice in Itha.

Chrona x Krilie.
Just no. Krilie is in a relationship with Quell. Quell is Chrona’s brother. Respect the relationships that are already CANON.

Azael x Adam.
Again, no. I get it, they have a pretty tight love-hate bromance. But that’s all it is. Adam is like twice Azael’s age as well, which doesn’t sit well with me.

Thalia x Anyone.
Leave my poor abused girl alone! She wants nothing to do with relationships after the trauma she experienced!!

Amalis x Chrona.
He is practically her father, and she hates his guts. Not the cutesy kind of hate, like she would kill him herself if it wasn’t against her moral code.

Eden x Cristella.
tHeY aRe cHiLdReN!!! They’re just best friends, that’s it! Do not sexualise/ship the minors as anything other than best friends!!

Natørk x Salaphire.
This is a pure hate relationship. If it wasn’t against Salaphire’s moral code she would end his life, and if Salaphire wasn’t protected then Natørk would waste no time in erasing her existence.

@ZephirFox8812

Darci x Maddy
No. I know that actual characters think they are in a relationship but just no. They are like brother and sister and they just wouldn't be right for each other.

Darci x Nyle
This is better but still a big no. Darci is too quiet and is sometimes even too scared to be around overly loud Nyle. Nyle can't even speak in signs.

Sam x Samuel
Again, they are very much like brothers, and they are mistaken for twins. They have a bromance. Nothing more

@Bananapudding

Shen x Kyoko
Kyoko hates the man with every cell in her body, and Shen honestly doesn't find her physically attractive at all, describing her as "unfortunate looking" the first time they met.

Nimue x V
They are nothing more than friends. Besides, he is in a poly relationship which Nimue really isn't into.

Berenice x Sorin
This one is a big one. Their relationship is incredibly abusive, nothing romantic about it at all. Matter of fact, it's best not to ship them with anyone else either as Berenice is a horrible being and Sorin is not really fit to enter another relationship.

@berlioz

Seren x Larc

Seren is really a butch/masc girl, while Larc is a really feminine dude. They have the best, most beautiful platonic relationship. But that's what I love about it. They're friends, best friends, ride or die friends, but not romantic partners. And that's ok. Not all love is romantic. The dynamic is good as it is. I'd be disappointed if people failed to see that.

So Blythe with anyone other than Peter, especially Dylan or Kai.

Blythe x Kai
Kai is obsessed with Blythe in a way that he thinks is love but that it's really not. He's kinda willing to kill anyone that gets in his way of dating her, even her? He isn't really a good guy.

Blythe x Dylan
Dylan literally tried to rape Blythe. He's Kai's older brother and he's extremely buff. The only reason he knew about Blythe was because Kai wanted her and he decided he should have her. He's not a good guy.

Blythe x Charlie
I can kinda see this one, granted that Charlie is Blythe's ex. BUT he cheated on her and didn't treat her right overall. He came to her house and tried to get back with her after she started dating Peter. He ended up preferring Mikayla over Blythe.

Blythe x Mikayla
So this one I wouldn't mind, but it would never happen. The two have been besties forever and nothing could change within that. Besides, Blythe is with Peter and Mikalya is straight with Charlie. So no.

Blythe x any other character that would make it weird
Just no. No no no.

@JasperHills

I've been working on a project called Tea Time! This story is actual based on true events about teens sneaking into their friends house after school hours to have tea and chat about any topic. (Their friend lived in an abusive home) I made it have slice of life and a bit of fictions since I'm writing it as a Screenplay. But I do worry people will try to pair Mr. Hills (The main character) with his best friend Blue (that's her nickname) Or anyone else. He isn't a person who feels love and usually stays away from it.

@jupiter-sun-of-sweater-town group

I wouldn't mind if Adeline and Jaime were shipped (heck, I kind of do), but I just really don't want people to think they are a couple.
I'm also really worried that people would ship Evie and Oscar. Just….noooooooo. She works for him! She's friends with his daughter! It's just really awkward.

@stolenbrocoli group

i wouldn't want Ana and Cult shipped together because they just work so well together as friends and i wouldn't want their amazing friendship tainted in any way, also Ana is married soooo
i also wouldn't want Garret and Dominick shipped together cos Garret's literally in love with Dom's sister and they also kinda hate each other. And Dom's a super manipulative person and so is Garret (a lotta gaslighting with that boy) so it just wouldn't be a good match.
And of course i would HATEHATEHATE if Dom and Dani (who are SIBLINGS) were shipped together for obvious reasons and i would also hate for readers to assume that they do have a relationship…more than siblings because they are very close and stuff so i'm sure there would be assumptions like that

@Starfast group

And of course i would HATEHATEHATE if Dom and Dani (who are SIBLINGS) were shipped together for obvious reasons

Yeah, this goes for any of my characters who are related as well. Not just siblings. Even if its a situation where they're technically not actually related (although I don't think I have any characters like that at the moment).

On a slightly related note, but any minor with an adult is not ok with me.

I know that people are going to ship the various siblings and cousins because people are awful (if anyone ships Gabriel and Cordelia I will scream, they're still related! just half siblings! they share a dad! it's incest even if they're not full siblings!) and I hate it.

@croccin-champagne

cisco and catori now that developments have been made, because they're very sibling vibe. which is fitting because he's dating her twin. speaking of, shipping catori and nicky would be a bastard move

@Katastrophic group

any of my characters with their teachers…
I know they're all technically adults cause the characters are college aged but still ew no. I've seen plenty of ships of a certain superhero school anime that follow this trend and just blegh

walter

The two mains of my story are an extremely close pair of roommates, one of whom is pansexual and one of whom is straight, they seem like some people would definitely see them as a couple

Deleted user

Azrael x Grimm (first off, eww, they're siblings, secondly Azraels a lesbian)
Azrael x any man (see second reason of Azrael x Grimm)
Allison x Rachel (Incest)
Vozreal x anyone except Satan (why? Vozreal isn't really a fan of romantic relationships. The only one he's been in is with Satan herself)

@The-Magician group

I forgot to mention Chrona x Quell.
I have written their characters in a very specific way that could make it seem like they love each other, however for starters they are twins. Brother and sister.
Secondly, yes, Quell loves Chrona a bit more than as a sister, and technically they don’t have to worry about incest because of the way God reproduction works..
BUT!
The love that Quell feels for Chrona is kinda like a sister complex. He obsesses over her safety to the point where he straight up neglects her (because he is under the impression that will keep her safe). That type of love isn’t healthy, and Chrona sees him as nothing more than a brother.

@cherrybby! group

(tw for non-detailed mention of abuse)
Calais & Willem. So much of Calais's character is rooted in the terrible things that she endured during her relationship with Willem, but I know that there would be people who would take pity on him and excuse his actions. He's a scrawny white boy whose primary manipulation tactic is excessive self-deprecation and constant affection – the exact sort of person that can get away with pretty much anything.
Calais & Alchemy. They're sisters, but some people seem to think it 'doesn't count' as incest if they're adopted. (Allison & Luther stans, I'm looking at you. You're fucking weird.)

YES! Dom is also 18 while Dani is only about 15. So not only would it be incest (which i believe is illegal) but it would also be illegal cos of the age difference. So it's double BAD.

@kittycalyx group

i was so worried that people might ship scorpa and cam that i made them adoptive siblings so. that takes care of that lmao
i feel like people might try to ship leus with teddy and/or aquis even though he's straight and has the most wonderful gf ever, and also maybe wynn and lot?? i would hope not bc lot is literally the worst person but y'all know how people can be
also oof i don't want anyone shipping rhett with annette or erika, i had to pepper in the fact that he's gay just to discourage that. also oh god ARON AND JACE NO jace is a grown-ass man and aron is a teenager but hey that doesn't always stop people :/
and of course nobody should romantically ship star with anybody bc she's aro-ace, same goes for meri

Selcoeurl

Any of the central cast, especially Naomi, with the Wannabe Evil Archmage. While he is hypothetically capable of caring about others: I'm not sure if he knows how not to be manipulative; and she in particular has had her strings pulled a time or five too many. He would eventually use Naomi's trauma as leverage; she would not take it well, and rightly so.

On an off note? It occurs to me that every vertex of the central cast is 'shippable. Everyone is an adult, no one is related, and the two characters with an established orientation are bi (mind you, CJ has a very specific "type" when it comes to his own gender, and would be unlikely to be physically attracted on more than an aesthetic level to any guy who didn't fit the pattern…but Kieron does fit the pattern). That said: Kieron would probably be absolutely terrified of accidentally injuring Brandee if anything happened between them (he's almost quintuple her size).

@knikols

I would never want Genie to be shipped with Xander they are Exe's for a REASON, Genie is rather rude to the main cast in general so I wouldn't ship her with any of them. And Xander deserves better…
I'm not necessarily concerned with any of the other possible ships within the main cast as long as it's not Xander and Alex they are TWINS
Oh and no shipping anyone with Sofie, or James other than James, or Sofie because none of the other characters are in a close enough age range for it to not be creepy, you can ship the two five/six year olds with each other but anyone other than them is gross because of the at least 10 year age gap.
