#multi-shipping

Sure, if Sanji from One Piece ends up with anyone it will probably be Pudding but honestly? Most shippers of that pairing either hate him or misunderstand him. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen a SanPu shipper who doesn’t bash or demonize Sanji in their other posts OR (if they claim to be a fan of him) grossly misunderstands his characterization in WCI and takes his scenes with Pudding out of context to misrepresent him. This correlation soured the ship for me and made it hard to enjoy. SaNami and Sanji x Viola fans on the other hand? They’re more likely to actually love and understand Sanji, hence why I love those ships more and tend to seek content for them out. Oda may have said “no romance between the Straw Hats” and a Viola/Sanji reunion is unlikely, but that doesn’t change the fact the fans who ship them are less like to bash/mischaracterize Sanji than those who ship him with his “most likely endgame.”

I don't even care that Mickey and Minnie are married in my AU, I'm drawing them holding hands, kissing and being cutesy/silly with other characters-

And yes, S2 made me love Sevinx! Jinx, Sevika, and Isha came so close to being a found family unit and I would have *killed* to see it go in that direction. Arcane seriously dropped the ball in sidelining Sevika on the backend of S2.

You don't have to make ten different universes for each ship. That "for funsies" ship can work as a past relationship. People change as they age. Maybe that first partner was exactly what they needed in a friend, ultimately pushing for romance/commitment they didn't actually want. Maybe a partner died, leaving them feeling like fully loving their soulmate would be a betrayal. Maybe their soulmate is completely opposite to their past tastes, confusing both of them. Maybe have the exes come to test that special soulmate bond.
