NOTP: Penguin. I actually wrote up a whole thing on the topic that goes over my feelings on this ship some time back.

I do see potential in a more toxic variant of the ship (and for Shining Justice I have entertained the idea but decided against it as it would be too dark, not that it's a happy sunshine AU by any means, for what I want) and it's weird that I haven't seen a lot of that. I probably would think of this ship more positively if I saw more of that.

BROTP: While my gut reaction is Pearlshipping, I actually want to talk about it later since really it can be platonic, queerplatonic, romantic and it'd be good by me. I'm thinking Lightrockshipping is closer to that honestly. Definitely not romantic in my view, but an idea I have for Dawn's travel arc in Shining Justice is that it is her and Brock. Depends on what I do honestly because I have a few different ideas in that regard.

OTP: Sapphirepearlshipping for the same reasons that I put when you asked about May lmao

Second Choice: Depending on my mood it's either Appealshipping or Heattagshipping.

Like, Appealshipping is just a damn good ship. How ten year old me missed it is ridiculous especially since I grew to be a massive yuri enjoyer. I don't know if there's anything I can say because my view on the ship is pretty normal!

Heattagshipping is another story on account of it being something of a "hear me out" for some. Conway, even if socially awkward, clearly seems to have respect for Dawn. I view it as an autistic4autistic mlm sort of deal and that's just. the way I ship it.

Fluffy: Pearlshipping. I do like the dynamic and I've seen so much good Pearlshipping content that I've come to grow to really like the ship in this particular way. Also the average Pearlshipper honestly has a damned good read of Dawn imo. Even if it isn't my OTP for Dawn, it's easily in my top two Ash ships lmao

Angst: If you want I can make any Dawn ship angsty! /j

Okay in all seriousness, I project my trauma and mental illnesses upon Dawn (two reasons: first is similar trauma and second is that she was the character when I was 10 so I see her as a peer if that makes sense) so any of the above can work as angst.

However, my personal view of Fancyfashionshipping is very angsty and toxic, at least within the context of Shining Justice.

But really any ship can be angsty if I try hard enough.

Poly ship: Okay so even though I've mentioned Dawn twice in my favorite poly ship for other characters... oh okay there's a fucking ship name for Kenny/Dawn/Zoey but not for Conway/Dawn/Zoey wow that's fucked

Granted I see the structure as more Dawn is with both of them but Conway and Zoey aren't with each other per se but I see them both as Dawn's primary partners in Shining Justice if that makes sense.

Weirdest: I have the funniest fucking crackship idea on account of [half my interpretation of Mirsha Grelinek of neopets dot com](https://bookofages.jellyneo.net/characters/1405/) is probably inspired by Dawn and then things later feed back into how I perceive Dawn it is a really funny ship

I don't seriously ship it it really is hardcore crackship territory

Also where else am I going to mention that I'm responsible for that particular furry character getting a girlfriend (my greatest accomplishment) on this blog? I'm proud as fuck of doing that.
