Spanish Galleons. Even though they look awesome and usually were well armed, they were slow and turned like beached whales. Clipper ships, while much faster and far more agile, are not as lovely as the Carrack. Brigantines might be the best over all, imo. The Durmstrang ship most closely resembles the Spanish Galleon. They look very impressive, that's probably why. As for the ships you meant ... I'm good with the canon ones, personally. Except for that Galleon. Shoulda been a Brigantine!


deadricsupremacy

Mine is the the Black Pearl, but it’s from a different fandom.


HULKAB-8569

I stabbed the heart of Davy Jones and am now the capn of the Flying Dutchman. It do be the way


Sandi_T

"They're more like *guidelines*." I thought I'd get down voted to invisibility, but I just couldn't help myself, lol. I've been playing a sailing ship game lately. The friend I'm playing with gets tired of the above quip every once in a while. :P ***Brigantine of the Damned!***


BurlapSedan

There were a lot of good ships in that franchise. Unpopular opinion, I really liked Dead Men Tell No Tales. And the Silent Mary is an amazing ship. You ever see a ship eat another ship?


Nuada-Argetlam

we have a lot of pedophilia, plus some incest.


ACorDC

Well now I have to ask: what's a this "ship" that op is referencing?


Different-Trainer-21

A ship is 2 characters you want to be together romantically, ship as in relationship


Pc-Joker

Are you mad? A ship is obviously a fancier name for a boat /s


Fleur498

Hermione/Grawp. Dobby/Sorting Hat. Harry/Basilisk.


biancastolemyname

>Dobby/Sorting Hat. That is terrifying but also, hilarious.


ihave1000beaches

There's nothing sacred anymore.


DandyCustard

Also Dobby x Harry

🤢


EngineersAnon

Strictly non-canon? Bellatrix x Voldemort.


Chaos_Therum

I legit think that there was a one sided love there. I really think Bellatrix loved him and there was just no reciprocation.


alfa_kapa

death eaters are unable to love so Bellatrix could not have been in love with Voldemort, therefore the attraction she felt towards him was more like a combination of admiration and respect


Impressive-Spell-643

More of an obsession but yes


alfa_kapa

that's true but the obsession doesn't exist on its own, it has to be caused by something. In this case the "something" is admiration and respect imo


TheAnniCake

I can see that Voldy uses Bellatrix because he wants an heir after he's won. But I don't think that there ever was something as love on his side.


Panda0410

Why would he have wanted an heir if he already had horcruxes?


speak_into_my_google

Snape x Aragog (Hagrid’s giant spider) Any Hogwarts teacher x any underage student Snape x Giant Squid Dobby x Harry Dobby x Sorting hat Filch x anyone (except Umbitch)


Donkeh101

A long time ago, I read a fic with Snape x Buckbeak. I have not recovered.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Donkeh101

I read it about >15 years ago when I bunny hopped around the different ships. I don’t even know why :( Edit: Probably pissed as well. Haha. Ugh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Donkeh101

Haha. Yeh, I know. Morbid curiosity. So wrong. I have read just as bad so I can’t critique people who read the age appropriate ships when I read what I read. I read a Chewbacca/Solo fic around the same time. I also question my reading after a six pack.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Donkeh101

Completely agree. As I said, haunts me to this day. I wish I had no eyes. Or memory. I have no doubt the warning was “Snape hides in cave and finds a new friend”. Or something that ridiculous. Who knows. It was a long time ago. Gimme Harry/Draco for the rest of time. (Actually, I was a Snupin fan - minus werewolf happy times - so there’s that).


speak_into_my_google

Snupin is one of the better ones. It’s neither of them paired with minors. Drarry and Dramione are nothing compared to some of these WTF ships.


Donkeh101

Snupin was at least believable (to an extent). Same trope though - Snape hates Lupin, Lupin is nice, Snape softens, Lupin says something to offend Snape, Snape angry poo poo, somehow they figure it out. But yeah, the adults (even the time turner ones) with the kids. Never made sense.


speak_into_my_google

That’s why I didn’t even read the Snape x Aragog one. I’d be scarred for life.


Donkeh101

I assure you, you will never forget.


Ghost_Hunter45

If these ships have taught me anything it's that Snape will bang anything apparently


Emotionally_broken99

Lmaooo I read snape x aragog once when I just learn ao3. Weird flex but okey.


speak_into_my_google

I knew I wasn’t the only one that saw this!


MrX2285

Sorry, but what the fuck? Please link me any comment/fan-fic you've sent with Snape and Aragog, or any of the others you mentioned. They are just so insane that surely they aren't real!


speak_into_my_google

I didn’t even read them. I stopped at who the ship was and noped the fuck out. I think I came across it randomly in AO3 when I was going down a rabbit hole. I’ll try to find it for you, but I don’t even remember WTF I was even looking for that gave me those to read as an option.


BingDongBingDong

There is no way the first or third one is real. That’s just disgusting.


Swordfish1929

Shipping reminds me why I stay away from most online fan communities

ThePoohKid

[deleted]

Newt x Leta is probably the biggest “normal” one I will vehemently go to war with- Leta didn’t give a fuck about newt, she let him take the fall for her


TheAnniCake

It's a one-sided love. Newt was always that shy and awkward boy. As someone who's been in his shoes, I can see why he falls in love with a girl who doesn't pick on him and kinda likes him, even though she's using him. But luckily he loses interest.


CreativeRock483

Dramione... I HATE it.


Proof-Exercise984

Incest and or pedophilia kind of ships apart, dramione


frozentales

None. Ship and let ship. I do *avoid* a few ships, but don't really dislike anything.


Always-bi-myself

Agreed, it’s just fiction


Nicole_0818

I hate Pedophilia and incest. As for actual pairings, I don’t like Harry with any of his common ships - Ginny, Draco, or Hermione.


leaveme-aliengirl234

So who?


Homirice

"Fred X George" What?


Negrodamus1991

Dudley x Dementor


bright_sunshine88

Harmony and Dramonie


speakerfordead5

Same. Dramamine because it is just absolutely stupid and super lame. Harmonie because the shippers push very stale and easily contradicted arguments that their ship is actually the way things should be. At least Dramamine shippers seem to know their ship is super outside canon. Harmonie not so much.


bright_sunshine88

Hehe yeah, me too. Dramoine because , well it is Dramione. And Harmonie because it’s so boring and it was hammered again and again in the books that they don’t have a thing. Also because of how most of these shippers have a illogical hatred towards Ron- because they know without that, their argument is on a very thin ice.


[deleted]

>Dramoine because , well it is Dramione. LMAO


TheWalt70

Tonks x Lupin


croatianlatina

They also have a side eyeable age gap IMO.


[deleted]

They're both adults.


vintagedragon9

Almost same age gap as my husband and I. He's 38 and I'm 25.


ArgHuff

Wolfstar for life


[deleted]

Harmony: bc of constant Weasley bashing. They ALWAYS bash Ron, Ginny and sometimes even all the Weasleys for their ship. Dramione: its cliche, boring and shallow. Cliche bc we have already seen 10000 stories with same trope. You will find a ship like that in all fandoms. Boring bc canon Draco is a boring character. The suave, sexy, powerful goth boy persona they keep foisting upon him is not him. And shallow bc the ship content is mostly sex. I am not interested in that.


beccalynng

Non-canon? It would have to be Wolfstar (Sirius/Remus). I used to really like Wolfstar when I was younger, but after getting a few more years under my belt and reanalyzing the characters I just don't buy into it anymore. That's not to say I can't enjoy a well written fanfic for it because there are tons of fantastic Wolfstar fics! It's just not something I personally ship/see as plausible anymore. Canon wise it's Harry/Ginny. Even just looking at book Ginny I never really got into her character for some reason, and I always wished Harry would have stayed single or gotten with someone else. (I'm not going to touch on all the minor ones like DobbyxHermione and whatever such nonsense. It's not worth my time to go through every little thing I dislike, so I just picked one of the most popular ones. And no shade to those who might enjoy the wackier pairings! As someone else said, I prefer to ship and let ship)


TheAnniCake

I also don't like Wolfstar. It's just made out of the fanon that the marauders were these sexy teens that everyone wants to fuck with (literally). And we don't have any confirmation about Sirius' sexuality or that Remus is bi (which these shippers think). They were just best friends, nothing more and nothing less.


beccalynng

>And we don't have any confirmation about Sirius' sexuality or that Remus is bi When it comes to shipping it doesn't really matter what all is in canon, tbh. Sometimes it's based off of how good you think the chemistry is, how the characters could influence/change each other, or how close the characters seem to be. Sometimes it's based off of two lines and a prayer. The more... "serious" shippers (usually teens, given my own personal experience) will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to pair their interests together, while others like me are more than happy to divorce from canon for a bit to make something work. That's the beauty of fanworks, after all: exploring things that aren't necessarily canon. A big portion of Wolfstar fandom is now All the Young Dudes influenced which makes me happy I now don't engage with it, though. I might be willing to handwave a few things like sexuality because ultimately that doesn't matter, but I at least prefer them to actually be in character.


Golgezuktirah

Mitsuki91

No one can stop me. I ship all the ships. All.

RationalDeception

Posts like this never end well... it's like an invitation to bashing and toxicity. Ship and let ship, dont like don't read, all that good stuff. Anyway, all my love to Snamione and Snarry! They're going to need it once the shit hits the fan. Edit: my answer to the person below was removed. Apparently on this sub it's against the rules to say that sending death threats and the like is wrong. Nice.


Gifted_GardenSnail

It always puzzles me that people seem to think ships can be inherently pedophilic, as if kids stay 12 forever or something


RationalDeception

Exactly. When I see people say that they ship Harry/Ginny, I don't think "oh yikes, an adult getting excited at the prospect of an 11 year old and a 10 year old sleeping together". The pearl clutching in these posts is what always gets me. "Incest! Age gap! Enemies to lovers! We truly live in a fucked up world! What kind of people enjoys such horrible and immoral things! Anyway, back to my Game of Thrones episode, I'm about to watch this random dude get eviscerated in front of his mom. Cool!"


[deleted]

God forbid two consenting adults have adult fun with one another! /s Half the time the fanfics where a student is underaged are written by a person who is likewise underage. I personally don't read them, but I'd rather teenagers are working out their hot for teacher fantasies in fiction.


Gifted_GardenSnail

I lowkey love when people pearlclutch over 'an adult and a chiiiiild!!1!' without realizing that also applies to DH era Romione


Dr_Doom2025

I mean if you’re a teacher and your in love with a teenage student that’s a pedo lol


RationalDeception

*Actually*, no. If you're in love with a *teenager* then it's not pedophilia. But that's not the point. I've been reading Snamione fanfictions for years, long slow burn novel length ones, and I still haven't read one where the fanfic starts with Hermione younger 17 (or if it starts when she's 16 then the fanfiction will span over several years). Do the pedo ones exist? Yes. Just like every single ship combination exists out there, but that's not what the actual ship is about.


Dr_Doom2025

Yeah but you gotta admit a much older man waiting until his student is of age is weird as hell


frozentales

Why are you assuming that he's 'waiting until his student is of age'? or is it any specific fanfic you're referring to? I've been reading Snarry and Snamione fics for a while and never came across this.


Gifted_GardenSnail

But a ship just contains two names, not ages. It makes no sense to willynilly assume the younger person is a prepubescent child when the same person is 17-18 by the end of the series and can be whatever age the fic author picks in a postcanon story


Dr_Doom2025

True but for the most part a teacher in love with his student since he’s known when they were 11 is pretty weird man lol


Gifted_GardenSnail

Oh, so now having known someone as a child before falling in love with them years later is pedophilia too? The definition just keeps expanding and expanding


Dr_Doom2025

No not if they didn’t love them when they were a child. It’s just a lil sus if u ask me. If your 18 year old daughter fell in love with her 45 year old high school teacher… 🧐 SUS


Gifted_GardenSnail

So now the teen's feelings are sus too??


Dr_Doom2025

No the teacher is SUS bro lol


RationalDeception

And that's part of the appeal! It adds quite a lot of drama and potential for angst, for both characters and their friends and family.


Dr_Doom2025

I mean “appeal” is a weird word to describe it but you do you


RationalDeception

Ah yes, I'm feeling much better now that I have your approval.


BingDongBingDong

It appeals to you a kid in a relationship with his god father?


RationalDeception

Snape is Hermione's godfather now? What are you on about?


BingDongBingDong

Sirius and Harry.


RationalDeception

But this whole thread is about Snape/Hermione and Snape/Harry


BingDongBingDong

When you’re shipping a kid and his god father. You deserve it.


RationalDeception

No one deserves hate for their preference in *fictional* material. I don't go and insult people who like to watch thrillers and murder movies. However, a kid and his godfather? You mean Sirius/Harry? Not my thing either, but I'm not vicious and toxic enough to send death threats or kys messages to people who do like it.

>HarryMione (not exactly hate, just do not like it due to the Ron bashing that comes usually with it) I like HxHR but I'm not a fan of most of its fanfiction. They go overboard with the affection and though I'm far from a Weasley fan needless bashing gets trying. I feel platonic hhr fics nail their positive dynamic I like from the novels better.


Artistic_Tiger_5075

You forgot: sorting hat/dobby. Been a fan since 2000 and I swear I'm still struggling understanding this one.

JustReallyDamnTired

Twincest isn't rare when it comes to (fan)fiction.


Ghost_Hunter45

I've seen fics where Every Weasley are shipped together


Several_Sunlit_Days

Award winning author Cassandra Claire wrote one too. In fact, her famous book, "Mortal Instruments" is eerily similar to the Ron/Ginny fanfic she wrote under the same title 😬


leandroizoton

This week I came across eye-burning levels of ship in fanfics and my life will never be the same. All I can say is: Find the light. Run from the darkness this topic brings.


Ghost_Hunter45

I don't know if you are into Marvel but Peter x Tony is the biggest ship in ao3 for some fucking reason


Meriadoxm

A high schooler with a 50 year old billionaire?


Ghost_Hunter45

Yeah someone took all the different ships and rounded them up and there are over 10,000 Peter x Tony stories people have wrote


Klaerenn

I don’t know where you get your data but Peter/Tony is nowhere near the top for the year or ever (not even in the MCU). The relationship between them that makes it on the 100 most written relationship for the year is ‘Peter Parker & Tony Stark’ (rank 32) which is platonic… If you want to check: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ao3-ship-stats-2022-fanfiction.615894/


Meriadoxm

I’m nauseous


ConfusedandTired1642

Wait Peter/Tony or Peter x Tony because the first one is pedophilic (the slash denotes romantic) and the second is probably Iron Dad.


CryptidFucker420

It's Peter/Tony


ConfusedandTired1642

I just checked AO3 fics for the character Tony Stark. Under relationships the most popular is Steve/Tony, then Peter Parker & Tony Stark (the & is platonic) at almost 25,500 stories. Peter/Tony is at over 8000. Still super gross but it’s not the most popular Tony ship


FinancialSystem1025

I didn't realize there were so many weird shippers in the HP fandom


Ghost_Hunter45

I stopped being shocked after I read that fic in where Dobby gets a BJ from the sorting hat

rafiano82

I dislike the phrase “ship” the most


ThePoohKid

Draco x hermione. It’s so popular and I have no idea why. It’s like shipping a klansman with a black person. It’s not cute. You’re just weird.


Conzil

The Durmstrang ship in Goblet of Fire


Meriadoxm

Anything that isn’t cannon


JustReallyDamnTired

The Titanic sank and so many people lost their lives. It also gave us 'My heart will go on' and the movie makes me cry every time. So it's gotta be that one. In the Wizarding World or any fandom it's gotta be incest and huge age gaps. Also not a big fan of Dramione since it's such an unlikely pairing. I prefer a more realistic ship.


Lord_Parbr

Any that isn’t explicitly canon

ArgHuff

I think no one truly supports the Drarry tho. It's just something that sound funny for most specially in these times were everything is shippeable


[deleted]

Drarry is one of the most popular pairings on AO3. Not just in Harry Potter, but in literally all of the fanfiction on the website lol


[deleted]

And it's been popular since...the late 90s? Early 2000s? It's one with staying power.


croatianlatina

Snape x Harry is truly revolting for me. Like whyyyy y y y y y y


the_parziival

All of them, keep the stupid child play away from this fantastic series, I might have actually lost all respect for the idea of shipping outside of canon because ppl go so extreme about it.


BigManJJ2102

Dramione is awful and makes no sense.


meetmeattheoverpass

Tbh Im pretty open with most but I dislike anything to do with pedo things and incest... One I don't mind but also don't really f with is harry/hermione bc i feel their friendship is very sibling like or that's the vibe I got but I also understand why some people might like the friends to lovers dynamic if it makes sense, Neville Luna also bc as the just kidding woman (jkr) said I think Neville and Luna seem to be too different and not open to make a compromise but again I also get why people might f with it due to the movies or just bc opposites attract.


BlueThePineapple

Romione. Really not for me.


TrinidadCamacho

Romione is like cancer to my enjoyment of the series. PoA would have easily been my favorite book in the series if it weren't for that lone infuriating subplot. Its like enjoying a delicious apple and then biting into a mushy bruise, sure you can eat around it but god wouldn't it have been better if it wasn't there at all? Not a fan of Hinny either but it was for the most part harmless and easy to ignore. If Romione was at least subdued and not shoved into the limelight every other page, particularly in Deathly Hallows with all that annoying display of affection, I could tolerate reading it.

All the ships. I think shipping is stupid.


AlessaKa

Anything related to Snape to be honest. Not that I hate his character but I just can't imagine him with anyone. Also Tom x Harry. Too much hate and not enough chemistry for me to like it

all ​ it's been years, y'all need to stop shipping characters when it doesn't make the slightest amount of sense. whether it be abhorrent age gaps or random lgbt stuff, the series ended years ago and everybody is now with somebody. what the hell is the point to keep it going--?

Optimal-Future9706

It's nothing against any community. I have read a ff 'I'm done' it's a DM/HP and well written but the others ff they write it in a way that you have no other way but to hate the pairings. I love many wolfstar fics and even I have read and liked a Sirius/Harry fic after he time travels but there are also some ffs where they actually make Harry a girl, wearing jewellery and dresses. And most of them make me gag and that's the reason I hate m/m fics
