Staja kids on earth

Unbecoming painting study/staja doodle but I NEED TO YAP FOR A SECOND

☆ Jlaire (Jim Lake Junior/Claire Nuñez). For me, it's a good ship in non-canon, but in the canon show it lacked development. I didn't feel Jim was in love with Claire for something about her, just for a shallow reason. 6/10 in canon and 9/10 in fics.

☆ Stricklake (Walter Strickler | Stricklander /Barbara Lake). Of all the canon ships, this is the one that I felt it was better written, even if I wanted Strickler to have more scenes where he felt guilty of what he did to her. 7,5/10 in canon and 9/10 in fics.

☆ Darby (Toby Domzalski/Darci Scott). Like in Jlaire, I felt like the reason why Toby liked Darci was very shallow. And Darci was a character who kinda was "created" just to be with Toby (because she didn't have a development outside their relationship), so it's not my thing in canon. 5/10 in canon and 6/10 in fics.

☆ Staja (Steve Palchuk/Aja Tarron). I already said it in another post, but my main problem with this ship is Steve's character. If the writters made him change, instead of throwing away his development, I would like them more. 5/10 in canon and 7/10 in fics.

☆ Dromura (Draal/Nomura). I would have accepted it being canon, and to be fair I see the appeal, but I don't think it's my thing. Although I like them more than Darby, and I actually felt their chemistry. 7/10

☆ Troll Dads (Aaarrrgghh/Blinkous "Blinky" Galadrigal). I'm not an active shipper of them, but I do ship them with each other (mostly because I don't see Aaarrrgghh having chemistry with another character apart from Blinky). Besides the scenes they share in Wizards says it all. 8/10.

☆ Zouxie (Douxie Casperan/Zoe). I'm gonna be honest: At first I was neutral with this ship: I didn't dislike it nor I liked it. But the fandom kinda ruined it for me. I don't hate it per se, but I prefer other ships with Douxie. And with Zoe too. 5/10.

☆ Hammerhunter (Jim Lake Junior/Toby Domzalski). To be honest they could have worked if the world wasn't heteronormative and if they weren't in love with Claire or Darci, because their relationship is very deep (I mean one of the reasons why Jim traveled back in time is Toby so—). 8/10.

☆ Shadowhammer (Toby Domzalski/Claire Nuñez). I mean I kinda see it? In another world where Claire wasn't "attracted" to Jim (and Jim wasn't in love with Claire, because Toby wouldn't date Claire if he knew Jim liked her) they could have worked while Jim was in the Darklands. 7/10.

☆ Jlaireby (Jim Lake Junior/Toby Domzalski/Claire Nuñez): Well, if you like the three ships (Jlaire, Hammerhunter and Shadowhammer) at the same time and you can't decide (like me), this is surely one of the best decisions you could make: paired the three of them together. 8/10.

☆ Strickrot (Angor Rot/Walter Strickler | Stricklander). At first, it might seem like a "toxic" ship because Strickler controlled Angor and Angor tried to kill Strickler when the Inferna Copula broke, but I usually consider "toxic" couples when they are abusive while being a couple, so this isn't "toxic" or "abusive" for me. Besides it gives even more enemies-to-lovers vibes than Stricklake. 10/10.

☆ Stricklakerot (Angor Rot/Walter Strickler | Stricklander/Barbara Lake). You could blame the fic I read from @/pinkytoothlesso11 about them, but I liked it so much that Stricklakerot might be one of my favorite TOA ships. Apart from Strickrot (and another one I haven't mentioned yet). 12/10.

☆ Steli (Steve Palchuk/Eli Pepperjack). Of course, if they decided to date when Steve was a bully, it would have been toxic, but after their development and all the scenes they shared together, I feel like it could have been a very healthy couple. 7/10.

☆ Stelija (Steve Palchuk/Eli Pepperjack/Aja Tarron). You would think it's similar to Jlaireby for me, but in this case I prefer Steli and Staja separately, because I don't ship Elija/Ajali as much as the other two. 6/10.

☆ Krexie (Douxie Casperan/Krel Tarron). I already love another pairing involving Douxie thanks to @/honeyxmonkey, but I like Krexie too! Not because of the canon interactions, but because of their potential. And because I saw them having more chemistry than Zoe and Douxie. 8/10.

☆ Jeves (Steve Palchuk/Jim Lake Junior). Steli is okay, but to be honest I like this ship more. Not only because I think the couple is more interesting, but because of the wasted potential. I'm pretty sure they could have good friends, and in another universe, maybe they could have been more. Besides, there's also the hate they both share for their own parents: Jim because his father left them for another woman, and Steve because his father was abusive, so I think they would also bond about that. And maybe heal each other scars. 12/10.

☆ Claja (Claire Nuñez/Aja Tarron). What's better than one powerful woman? Two powerful woman who date each other. Imagine the great team they could have been. Besides, Claire is clearly more mature than Steve, so I'm pretty sure she could have been a lot better for Aja. Since Aja's princess who "lost" her world, it's logical she would have wanted someone who understood the weight on her shoulders (and having in mind that Claire was possessed by Morgana, she could have been the perfect person for Aja to date). 10/10.

☆ Claireve (Steve Palchuk/Claire Nuñez): Them being together might seem ilogical at first, basically because Steve was a jerk and Claire "didn't seem interested in him" (even though she went to a concert with him), but I think it could have worked if Steve didn't become a stupid boy again. If Claire saw Steve maturing, she could have been slightly attracted to him. 9/10.

☆ Ajim (Jim Lake Junior/Aja Tarron). To be honest I didn't see it before, but like Claire and Aja, they could understand each other perfectly. Despite Aja being an alien princess and Jim being a human trollhunter, both have responsabilties. Both carry the weight on the world in their shoulders, and they would definitely be supportive of each other. 7/10 (because even if I find the ship appealing, I like Jlaire, Jeves or Claja more)

☆ Jimxie (Douxie Casperan/Jim Lake Junior). I don't see them as brothers like other people in this fandom do (to be honest I don't like that headcanon), so I wouldn't mind reading a fic about them if the plot seemed interesting for me. Basically, I don't hate it, I don't actively ship them, but it's okay for me. 7/10.

Beso de tres 🫢...
