I’m setting a readmore here so the list will be up to date everywhere!

My loooooovvve <3<3<3<3<3<3

Absolute OTP

I know I also started shipping Andronilynh a lot, and I'm kinda into polyguard and also think the og3ot3 is interesting, but well, all of those poly ships have one thing in common, and that's Andromaquynh xD

Why do I ship it?

The TragicTM and hurt/comfort potential of Quỳnh being gone for so long...

Honestly, that point^ is My Ship Type in a nutshell, that type of tragic shared backstory is exactly what I go for in all of my OTPs

They knew and loved each other! For!! Millennia!!!!!

Like seriously imagine loving someone so much for so long adsfghjkl, their love is beyond our mortal comprehension

The way they meet in the desert?? Quỳnh had given up entirely, but then Andy shows up and shows her that there's a way to keep living...

"Just You And Me" "Until The End." enough said.

Charlize Theron and Ngô Thanh Vân... hmmmmmm... I mean I think visuals are honestly a small part for my shippy brain because mostly I just read and write fic w/o thinking about what anyone looks like, I mean hell I got into ship fandoms w/o even knowing who the characters were on screen, just from reading fic xD but in this case, coming into the fandom via actually having watched the film a couple times, the actresses' hotness and their chemistry certainly helped things along xD

At this point, I'm just so set on Andromache and Quỳnh loving each other, I can't and don't want to imagine it any other way <3

Thank you so much for the ask! It might've been an obvious Yes, but still fun to think about the reasons :D

~ send me ship asks ~

Oh dear, I hope you already knew that the answer to this is that I do Not ship it xD

Reasons:

First of all, Andromaquynh ♡

My darlings are OTP (or ot3 adding Nile), and I just can't ship something that doesn't have Andy and Quỳnh together!

When going for Andromaquynh as OTP, I can't really see Andy starting anything serious while Quỳnh is in the ocean, so especially not with another immortal. Even when going for complete polyguard, I think she'd withdraw from Joe and Nicky while Quỳnh is gone, and not start anything with Booker even if they do. Idk, maybe they'd sleep together, but I can't see them having an actual romantic relationship then, more that it's an (unhealthy) coping mechanism

Second, the Hetero TM xD, & male/female friendships

Like, I know there are some scenes in the film that can be seen as shippy, and that a mainstream not-queer audience probably latches onto and expects them to be canon because of it- the scene where Booker's dead in safe house Charlie, the hug before he's exiled, the fact that they've both somewhat given up on life- but I just like to see it as a friendship rather than anything romantic. They can care deeply about each other and have things in common without having to be a couple.

I just don't vibe with it!

Idk, even with the above reasons, sometimes my multishipping brain turns on and still enjoys content to a ship I wouldn't want to become canon- but in Andy/Booker's case, whether bc I'm still mad at Booker for his betrayal, bc Andromaquynh is so very much otp for me, or bc of something else entirely, I'm just not into it.

Thanks for the ask, though! Was kind of fun and definitely interesting to think it through properly xD

Like, Idk, I have read some fic and would read more again if I came across it, but I'm not about to go looking? Andromaquynh is OTP, and basically any variation of polyguard I can get behind if it's well written, espesh smut where the romance is still just Andy/Quynh centric... but I actually hc Nile as ace so that doesn't fit together very well then! But again, would still read.

Thanks for the ask!
