Rae and Sypire. They're best friends, nothing more, plus they view each other as siblings. In addition, Rae is very much so a gay boy and Sypire is non-binary and into a different main character, Kaleb. Not to mention how Rae likes Jarrod lmao-
Azrael x anyone except Hellyn, her WIFE. Just N O
If anyone dares ship Azazel x The Sandman I will cry. It's bound to happen but Sandy's pretty openly aroace and Azazel just doesn't see him that way. It would just make me uncomfortable, too, as they're not actually related but have a very close sibling sort of relationship.
For the love of God I hope no one ships Azazel x Quill. Quill is a c h i l d.
Anthony x Cyrus wouldn't make me upset, but it would just be weird and very against the canon, since they're both gay in the opposite directions.
Miette/Douglas, because Miette is like 10 years younger than him (also underage) and neither of them see each other that way. Just let them have a siblinglike relationship without ruining it please-
Arthur and Matthew. Their relationship is… weird. Matt is super protective of Arthur, but not romantically, more in a… guilty… big brother-y… weird cross-between-a-father-figure/dumbledore-and-a-best-pal type deal… soooooo… yeah.
Because of how close they are it's not a hard leap to ship them… but honestly they just have a weird bromance.
OP: Hope the term ship is still used, I might be behind
Literally everyone in this post: No?????
lol
Mel and Austin are close, Mel basically acting as Austins mom friend who is tired of his shit and Austin being a feral little ball of "self care is eating an entire bag of marshmallows at 3 am"
The thing I worry about most is that Austin is an insomniac because of his nightmares, but he constantly falls asleep on Mel's shoulder/lap because he feels safe around her. Which is prime shipping material.
However, Mel is a lesbian, and Austin is emotionally traumatized and doesn't want any of that romance stuff.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Odin and Alex. I feel like people would misinterpret Alex’s infatuation with Odin’s magic with Odin himself and I would just not like that. Their relationship is purely platonic…and obviously Alex is 15 and Odin is 19 so they definitely should not be together as love interests.
Also, I would not like Cal and Alex together. They’re brothers. That should be enough of a reason.
On the same note as Miette/Douglas, Oscar/Douglas. They're friends, they've worked together for years, but Douglas is almost 10 years older than Oscar, and also just sort of not a great guy?
I wouldn't want my character, Bailey Simmons, to be shipped with my other characters whatsoever. He seems friendly at first towards certain people, but then he eventually shows his true colors. He would N O T make a good boyfriend unless there are people out there who like dating manipulative people. I just think Bailey is the WORST when it comes to being in a relationship with someone. He also just hates everybody, and typically prefers men anyway, so…
I think there may be a problem with the possible ship of my two characters Vincent and Nuela. There are many reasons why they would be a good pair… They grew up together, they have a wonderful relationship friend-wise, they sillily tease eachother, and Vincent, who doesn't like getting attached to people, definitely has an attachment to Nuela. Also, Nuela is in love with Vincent.
The big problem of this is that Vincent is gay… So yeah, that wouldn't work out. Vincent actually figures out his sexual orientation THROUGHOUT the story, so it isn't something he knows right off the bat or in the beginning of the story. I am afraid that some people may start shipping them and then get mad when it is "revealed" that Vincent doesn't like women romantically. I don't want to get anyone's hope up that there will be a romantic relationship between these two… But that very well may happen.
Zara and Aaron.
They're close - friends are allowed to be close.
They spend time together at Aaron's home, with no-one else - Aaron is helping Zara practice.
Aaron gave Zara a 'ruby' necklace - it's actually a survival tool.
But before the reasons for all these things are revealed I'm afraid it looks shippy.
Also, I'm fairly sure Zara is aroace. She certainly could never settle down, that's just not her nature. So she couldn't really be with anyone that way.
Or Zara and the as-yet-unnamed 'hero'. Their character arcs intertwine [honestly he's basically a plot device for Zara's arc]. Zara hates him when they first meet, but they grow a mutual almost-respect. [Probably. Still not quite sure where I'm going with the guy.]
See above. Zara could not romantically work with anyone. Let alone this guy.
Omg I've thought about this!
I don't want people shipping Yuki with anyone, but I would be okay if it happened with a few characters. However, I'm absolutely against anyone shipping Yuki with Celia.
Celia reminds Yuki of his younger sister that died years before he met Celia, and she's the one that helped Yuki out of his depression. Celia and Yuki have a brother/sister relationship, but that's all I want people to see from that. Celia is also a minor during the story (and technically asexual too) so any sexualization of her, though probably inevitable, I'd highly disapprove of.
Harmony is also a minor, so I wouldn't approve, but I also don't see any chemistry between her and Yuki.
With Myst and Yuki, they'd be a power couple. They both LOVE to argue and they're both incredibly stubborn, but Yuki is observant and Myst is considerate, so they'd be a nice match, but, regardless, Yuki is devoted to his deceased wife.
Another one I've thought about is with Tyler and Exila. I've been thinking about integrating Tyler more into Exila's story, giving him some sort of manipulative role over Exila, slowly trying to lead her to a demonic life, but if people start shipping them, they're basically shipping an incredibly toxic relationship. Tyler doesn't care about Exila, and Exila has no romantic feelings for Tyler. Tyler only wants Exila to fulfill her role that Exila's mother promised Tyler.
Additionally, Exila has a canon relationship with someone else, so Tyler isn't even on the table.
I am afraid people would ship Tobias with anyone, but the ship that worries me most is between them and Elias Mitchell, their creator.
For my other works, I don't really care about shipping as long as it doesn't contradict anything in story or canon character orientations.
This one is one that’d be one of those Illegal Ships, but no one would know for the first few books
Basically my protagonist had a twin that she thought died when they were younger but he survived and is actually one of the antagonists for the first few books. His identity is concealed for awhile so there is that chance that they could get shipped together ;-;
Additionally, my protagonist’s twin had an abuser as his guardian (I literally hate the guy so much that I’ve refused to name him), and if anyone shipped them ever, I’d shut that shit down immediately.
I'm afraid people would ship Junpei with a few people:
…because first of all, come on man. The first two listed people are his mother and grandmother. But shippers are weird sometimes so I'm afraid it could happen. And covering the third one, The Scientist is a woman and Junpei is gay. So no. And The Scientist pretty much tortured him and his best friend, as well as put them into a constant state of panic.
And it wouldn't even be canon anyway. Because canonically, Junpei gets together with his childhood best friend Riley. Pretty much, I would have to shut down every ship that isn't canon because they'd be really weird. There are only so many people mentioned in the story and none of them belong together (with the exception of canon relationships). Even then, the main plot-line of the story isn't romance and so there isn't really any chemistry between anyone but Junpei and Riley–
(Basically I don't want my whole story to be shipped minus the canon one lmao.)
Nora and Vara
Nora has a girlfriend already, and even tho she isn't in the story to much (bc she's believed to be dead for the better half) they'd both be glad to see each other again. I intend for them to get a happy ending and get married (:
Vera on the other hand is unfortunately straight. But the two do end up being pretty close friends.
Samuel and Vash.
Though when Samuel is being held captive, and being torchered for information, Vash is there for him. She's just another pawn in the scheme of things. Someone for him to trust only to be ultimately betrayed by.
Sybil and Ozzie. They're close friends, but they're also both gay. Their relationship is more of a sibling-like one than anything else.
I have a feeling that Galaxy and Sky are going to get shipped together, because:
A: Neither of them are in a relationship during the first book, Galaxy's love interest gets introduced in the second, while Sky meets hers in the third.
B: They do everything together, and tease each other a lot. (They've been best friends since they were 2, and are like sisters to each other. There is nothing romantic between the.)
Dollie and Luca for sure !! it'd be a toxic relationship bc Luca is a total narcissist and acts like he likes being around Dollie but actually hates it . plus , Luca purely hates Dollie , and Dollie hates Luca as well , so it wouldn't play out well if they were in a relationship . it'd probably end a split second after it starts
Shea, Bianca and Paisley for sure. Like no romance between the three of them. Bianca is traumatized from the death of the only man she had ever loved, the Sorcerer's code prevents Paisley from having a relationship and Shea… yeah no.
Zephyr with anyone, because they're fourteen and pretty much every other member of the cast is an adult. They're also aro-ace.
I feel like someone's bound to ship Drinn and Vio, but they're brothers. Please no.
Tetra and Poli. They have an enemies-to-friends thing going on, so I'm sure someone will read that as romantic tension, but Tetra's gay, and Poli has zero interest in her in a romantic way. They really act more like bickering siblings.
The worst ship I can think of is Azazel and the Sandman. It wouldn't happen anyway since the Sandman's aro-ace, but the way he treats Azazel when they're just friends is already so toxic and unhealthy I can't imagine what a romantic relationship would be like. This is definitely one of the most problematic ships, but I'm afraid it would happen because I've seen people romanticize abusive relationships before.

I wouldn't want any of my characters to be shipped together, except for a few exceptions. All the characters in my book are apart of a species that reproduces asexually, and the species as a whole usually doesn't feel romantic attraction. A few of them do feel romantic attraction, which is why I said there are a few exceptions, but even if so, they still don't feel any sexual attraction to anyone. So basically, I have a whole species that is almost completely aro-ace.
Destrian and Peter. My book mentions that they had a fling when they first met and then realized they'd be better off as friends and they both find someone else in the future. I just really don't want people to think that one summer means they're soulmates or whatever and completely ignore the fact that they're happier as friends.
I really wouldn’t like Arinya and Taia to be shipped together. Arinya is, and will always canonically be, to focused on education and her future to date someone. Also, Taia is in love with, and doesn't have a choice to be in love with, Chelsea. Who is Arinya's sister

That species sound awesome
Lance and Arwood. No. Just no.
My world is set in medieval times, which means being gay was frowned upon and scorned. (I want to get my book as close to those days as possible).
Yeah, I make fun of their relationship in the Incorrect Quotes Forum. but that's because I love the fact they're so loose around each other, pulling pranks and picking on each other. They're like really close brothers. Nothing. More.
Also, they're not gay. Lance doesn't have a love interest yet, but Arwood's one and only love is Thilah. He has no one else, and he needs no else.
I got so nervous someone would ship them together that I really debated pulling Lance out and putting in someone else. But like I said, I just really enjoy writing their brotherly love, and Lance fit so well.
I know I'm kinda fussy about this, but I just feel like shipping them together would ruin their relationship and characteristics.
I feel like Frog and Juniper might be shipped, since they spend the majority of the story together, but Juniper's based on my friend and I project onto Frog, so it'd just be weird. Also I don't really want Frog with anyone; they're good on their own.
Also I think someone might ship Vanessa and Alex, and that's a nope: they're both homosexual.
Thaddeus and Sparrow.
Thad is mid 40's and Sparrow is an immortal being with the appearance of a 16 year old girl.
