#crosships

I HAVE A LITERAL HYPERFIXATION ON CLOCKMATIC THAT'S BEEN GOING FOR NEARLY 2 MONTHS NOW

FolderPET is one of my comfort ships :3

I made a whole ass TikTok account specifically for crosships

At this point I've based a pretty large part of my internet identity around crosshipping

Happymark.

"Whoa! I got it to take a picture!" -Asterisk

"THAT'S SOOOO COOL!! You're covering my face though!" -Alarm

"We can get a better picture of you, don't worry!" -Asterisk

"YAY OKAY!!! I wanna take a photo of the drawings we made earlier first though!" -Alarm

"Oooo, good idea! Just gotta turn it around real quick..." -Asterisk

"There!" -Asterisk

"YOUR DRAWING IS SUPER GOOD FRIENDO!!!" -Alarm

"Thanks, your's is too!" -Asterisk

[OOC: You can now send Asterisk (my Happymark shipkid) and Alarm (my Clockmatic shipkid) asks! I might also make a separate askblog specifically for my crosship shipchildren, but for now I'll just be using my main blog. No sending suggestive or nsfw asks, Alarm and Aster are only 5 and 6 years old respectively and I'm a minor]

Below the cut are references of both Aster and Alarm ^_^

i feel like animaticlock is dying or som???

it doesn't hzve a lot of content for it/about it anymore

i feel like this is due to people just getting tired of the ship of hyperfixating on different things, like im obsessed with gravity falls rn. But I still somewhat like animaticlock?

idk it just doesn't make me as happy as it used to..

and it's rlly a shame cause i like both shows but im really just getting tired of it

same with the shows,,,, but that's only because i rewatched them too much lol

its a shame the ship is dying tbh

me when the when

random but

yapper x listener ahh gif 😭😭🙏🙏

Yeah I've been noticing that too...

It's been frustrating me a little bit because I still very much have a hyperfixation on the ship and it's been becoming increasingly harder to find new content of it 😭

Ofc, people can move on from Animaticlock if they want, it's their accounts and they can do whatever makes them happy but MAN I'm starving out here ×_×

I've also noticed that whenever people do post stuff for the ship now, it gets significantly less attention than it did back in June.

I calculated some statistics to see what the average number of notes for posts under the Animaticlock tag during this month so far are compared to the first 12 days of June:

Average for August: 14 notes

Number of August posts: 17

Average for June: 92 notes

Number of June posts: 18

Surprisingly the number of posts in the first 12 days of these two months were about the same, but as I suspected, the attention these posts received significantly declined. Keep in mind that these time periods are only 2 months apart from one another!

Aninaticlock is absolutely on a decline right now, which sucks for everyone who's still hooked on the ship but I think we should've seen this coming:

I agree with you, I think people are getting tired of it, and I think I might know the reason why. Animaticlock is a crosship, and thing with crosships is that they, in almost all circumstances, NEVER get any sort of canon interactions. While we did get two crossover videos involving the actual voice actors, this videos aren't canonical. While some people can will through that and stay fully invested in a ship like that, a lot of people can't. A lot of people need at least some sort of canon interaction to keep them excited in the ship because it makes it way easier to see exactly what their dynamic is like.

Animaticlock is special in the way that it managed to become a popular ship at all despite this. However, it was still unlikely that most shippers would continue to be as into the ship as they were when they first got hooked on it because of what I explained about crosships earlier (plus other reasons like getting new interests/hyperfixations that pull them away from it), so it was nearly guaranteed to have a decline, and that's exactly what's happening right now.

I'll still continue to make more Animaticlock stuff despite this tho, dw lol I'm not done with the ship yet
