#eddali

Yes, but I'll be honest. Stali owns my heart, mostly. That's basically my ultimate Kali pairing. I've come around to a few, though!

Robali is one I see a lot. It's personally not my taste so I don't consider myself a Robali shipper per se, but I can absolutely see why people like them. And I'm always for giving Robin as many girlfriends as her heart desires. Robali shippers, you are very valid.

Eddali/Deathmetal (the name I've made for them) is one I can see working pretty well. I feel like their dynamic is better suited for poly dynamics as opposed to solo, but I couldn't tell you why. But I think they have the potential to be really sweet.

Kargyle is where we start really cooking. It's such a crackship and I don't typically take this one too seriously but I fr think they would be a cute opposites attract type relationship. I need a rom-com style fic of them falling in love (actually no no one do it I'm gonna do it myself I literally just decided).

Jonali is also really interesting! I can see them being really cute together. I think what holds me back from engaging with much content for them romantically (outside of this really specific polycule idea I have in my head) is that I'd love to see Kali join the Hopper-Byers household. I think regardless of if their dynamic is familial, platonic or romantic they would gel really well together and I'm mourning that we never got to see them interact.

Now we get to my #2 Kali ship. I've seen most people call them Kalancy, but I prefer the name Punkpistol. I absolutely fucking ADORE them. They are so so important to me. I think they also have so many complimentary traits and would've worked so well together. Both traumatized and turning that trauma to action, specifically against those that hurt them. Maybe not always the healthiest (toxic yuri on TOP) but truly good for each other at the end of the day.

In my perfect world, a lot of these pairings would just coexist in a polycule setting. But alas, my dreams are currently just dreams.

If any of the Kali shippers outside of Stali and Punkpistol wanna send me asks basically making a case for your ship of choice (even if it's not listed here) and why you like it, I would LOVE to read. I really need to be able to SEE the vision before I can form a full opinion on a pairing. Unfortunately, there's just such a deficit of Kali content period in the fandom (though it's gotten a bit better since S5 and her return) so its really hard to find content for her ships, which is how I connect to ships in the first place.

Please at least attempt to convert me. At worst, I'll still feel pretty neutrally about it BUT be happy to listen to someone ramble about one of their faves (it's like a bump of coke I stg). At best, I get to give my girl a new toy to play with /lh
