Ship development ask game 💕
Ahhh, I know, these have been done 10 million times, but i noticed i was struggling to find ones specifically designed to help develop a ship. Which is what I use these for. So here's an ask game specifically designed to help you develop a new ship or get back in touch with an old ship.
Whilst this is an ask game, you dont have to treat it perfectly like one. Feel free to copy and paste these and fill them in on your notes app or take turns filling these in in dms with your friends. :)
What appeals you to the ship? Is it based off of canon interaction, personal headcanons, or are you not sure?
What are the character's usual types? Is it one another or are they taking a chance on smth new?
What do they like about one another? Include both physical and personality traits, anything they like.
In what areas would they help one another grow?
What type of dynamic do you see them having? Are they fluffy or steamy? Are they soulmates or doomed to fail?
Which character developed feelings first? And is there a specific moment or way this could've happened?
Which character confessed their feelings first? And how was it? What did they do? How were they feeling?
What was their first date like?
What are their love languages?
Do they have anything they dont like about one another? Any annoying habits or bad incidents in the past?
How would they deal with those things? Do they have open communication or do they just bottle it up?
What interests/hobbies would they have in common?
What interests/hobbies would they try and get the other into? Would they succeed or not?
What are their core values?
Would they adopt pets together? How many? What animal(s)? Did they disagree on the animal(s)?
What would they do to surprise one another?
Is there a couple from another piece of media you could use as a reference?
How fast do they each tend to move in relationships? Does one rush into things whilst the other takes their time? How would they find a compromise?
Do they have any fears or set backs in terms of relationships?
Leave the ship behind for a moment, what are some headcanons you have for them as individuals in relationships? Silly quirks, or any tendencies they need to quit? Are they selfish or a people-pleaser?
Would they get into fights? What over, and how do they move forward?
What would their friends and family think of their relationship? Are they supportive or not too keen?
Is marriage something thats in their future? Do they want to get married? Do they not want to get married? Do they break up before it happens?
Would they want to have kids at some point? Or do they already have them?
Try and think of either 3 silly or angsty headcanons for them as a couple? Depending on the dynamic of the ship, could be anything at all. If you cant think of 3, thats fine.
How would they celebrate things like birthdays, valentines day, anniversaries, etc..? Do they even celebrate them at all?
