THIS IS NOT A MEME

[exceptfebruary]

ALRIGHT SO, this is a question about character relationships. Particularly romantic ones! (you may include quadrants if you so desire)

Are your characters publicly known to be in a relationship, in love, or crushing etc etc?

Does anyone assume or make jokes about your characters being in a romantic and/or sexual relationship with someone?

BASICALLY: IC SHIPPING. Who does the Network think they're involved with?

(you may also talk about what your characters ship)

this may or may not be relevant to Certain Posts being written at the moment pertaining to Valentine's day cough

LUST DATES NO ONE
SHE IS A ROCK
SHE IS AN ISLAND

also like, i don't think there is any public knowledge or misinformation out there BUT CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. any insinuations are all vintage shit that haven't been relevant for a long time! the only thing i can even remember is selina referring to her as knives' girlfriend in conversation with him AND I GUESS IN RETROSPECT SHE KIND OF WAS.

Publicly, this guy is in like... all of the relationships.

UH THAT'S NOT VERY CLEAR. Pretty much if it's female, he flirts, and he's had very obvious and public liaisons with a few women over the years, Callie being one of his more common ones recently. Also all of the npcs. all of them. Not too many people joke about his relationships though, since he's pretty... out there and obvious with his.


Oh and for Mitch: I GUESS THERE MIGHT BE RUMORS ABOUT THINGS. Nothing concrete.... but city hall is a sausage fest :c

[hexappeal]

"SOMETIMES I HEAR HIM SCREAMING AND THEN ZATANNA LEAVES HIS OFFICE"
no one checks if he is being murdered

[goodburger]

WHAT ABOUT OZZIE, JILL

WHAT ABOUT HIS CONSTANT STEAMY LIASONS WITH PCS

[soldieringblue]

WELL JAIME...
Kindasortamaybe seeing some non-ImPort at the moment, but having Issues with it because Abby and being an ImPort himself and all that stupid drama. She's that gal what snagged his old comm not so long ago. Her name is Danielle. And a few people teased about it, but not too terribly. Except Santo.

Solja ain't got shit. He's kind of got a thing for platonic lifemating or playing guardian or whatever, except not really because most of his dearest friends are gone atm. He's a big Yusuke/Keiko shipper though AND WILL BE FOREVER.

Zel's smitten with Terra, and that's moreso given the fact he is cured and therefore won't kill anyone if he tries to make out with 'em. That's kind of a canon thing that I don't think a lot of shippers realize SIDE-EYING FANDOM...but w/e He gets teased about it now and then because he just makes it too easy.

Steve is still too sparkly new and absorbed in human things for romaoh newsflash Felicia Hardy is really pretty and he isn't particularly sure why he thinks that as opposed to other people of the same gender. CURIOUS! HUMAN REACTIONS, HOW DO THEY WORK.

[liverletdie]

OH HE HAS SO MANY OF THOSE


SO MANY

[viced]

that's because she doesn't respect private bathrooms 8(

[hexappeal]

She dated Carlton Lassiter for a solid nine months and more recently was re-involved with John Constantine. She had only told Bruce about that, basically, and mentioned it off-hand after he left to Buffy and James. :(

She publicly flirts with everyone mostly Doctor Strange, Geddoe, and Ted Kord. She's publicly mentioned/planned to go on dates with Ted. All conversations with Boston are hideous, but she flirts with him pretty much always.

There's this weird thing she has with James. Except not. It's complicated and awkward and she tears her hair out sometimes when she thinks about it. He will be a huffy brat if she mentions going out on a date with someone and she will accuse him of ~being in love~ with her and everything goes downhill from there. It's pretty gross!

Not so much lately, but she does flirt with Arthur. He is her secret favorite. Also, her heartsong. :(

[hexappeal]

if she wasn't meant to be there, he should have magic-proofed it :|

[bullseye]

NOPE

unless you're counting hateships that are so obsessive they could possibly be misconstrued as romantic gag in that case black mask and catwoman, bullseye and daredevil

ladd russo kind of seems to think there's something going on with bullseye and deadpool but i think that was just trolling

[batmantled]

Dick has had some less than private network conversations with Andromeda about their non!relationship, which has now mostly ended in private. He also flirts innocently with... a lot of ladies that he talks to but I guess for anyone paying attention it should be pretty obvious that he is not legitimately pursuing anyone there at the moment.

In canon there are times when people have assumed he was dating Donna, if only because they are close friends who don't skimp on friendshippy PDAs and they spend a lot of time together both in and out of costume. They are not, however!

Then there is Babs who is not in-game right now, but when she is he flirts with her and the presence of bucketloads of History there is not a secret either.


ETA: oh yeah publicly in the distant past he was in a brief relationship with Helena Kyle, which they did discuss in open threads at the time! He also dated Khisanth a few times last summer but sometime in August that ended and since then they mostly only show up in each other's posts to bitch passive-aggressively. Apparently it was a bad breakup or something! (spoilers: she killed him)

[seekerfemme]

The Pro's been involved with Electro for awhile. Non-exclusive, but she cares about him quite a bit. And more recently went on a date with Tony Stark, ohohoho.

Slipstream was involved with Starscream not too long before he got 'ported out.

Agatha and Toph are not romantically involved with anyone!

[alldeduction]

Sherlock is an island of loneliness.

But I'm pretty sure (and people can chime in here if they like) that most of the network thinks he and John are a thing.

[boozebot]

Bender is in competition for the Porter's heart, mostly because the City has a dangerous lack of robot ladies. Other than that, he just has close friends that he consistently sponges off of (coughtonycough)

Ladd had his fiancée around for a while before she left, but there's no one else. However, his overly friendly nature has led to many assumptions that he is hitting on people (coughbullseyecough)

Shirley is married, but she ships pretty much everything, though her pet project at the moment is Zatanna/Jes because they clearly belong together!!!

[goryteller]

KATURIAN'S ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP THINGS ARE SORT OF ON THE DOWN-LOW. He had a thing for Sylph, one of the original members of Vulcanus, and they made out before she happened to die all over him. He also has a (regrettable) crush on Edward Nygma, which Eddie knows about. (But I don't think anyone else does, other than Desire.)

I think a good amount of the network is convinced that he's dating Andy Bernard because they live together and Andy gleefully showed him his ass on the Network.

[remarkablyspry]

ZEE YOU AND YOUR HAREM
and damn you both

[plays_with_dolls]

Seras has had no romantic relationships, not even rumors as far as I can tell.

It is public knowledge Boyd had a relationship with Whiskey sometime in the past in his own world, but since she's long gone it's not really relevant. Oh yes he did win a date with Sally Jupiter in the charity auction we had a little while back and he had always been a bit flirty with her. That's about all I can remember right now.

So yeah...damn my characters are sad lonely people lol

[ridethetiger]

Ggio still has a pretty lol view when it comes to relationships, but he's convinced that if Bobbi can't make her men (Clint and Electro) get along, then she should have sloppy makeouts with Selina.

As for himself, I think back about a year and a half ago, it may have been known he was involved with Grimmjow?? It's irrelevant now and I have no idea if there's talk about of his current status. He did make a post last summer about having a girl's number; a few of his classmates are interested in him but he's too dumb to get it.

[goryteller]

OH, BUT THIS WAS PUBLIC.

[im_a_shaaaaaaaaark]

Why would anyone...

That being said, at least he's attracted to girls in canon, but seems to have a bent toward strong or monstrous women.

[radiantly]

Angelica is pretty clearly involved with Pietro... I mean they did get married after all. James Bond has flirted with her a few times over the years as well.

[invisibly]

Susan has been told by everyone that she and Reed will eventually get married, but they are only sort-of starting to rekindle their relationship at her pull point. Doom (or Victor, as she calls him) proposed to her in the movie, and she's mentioned that on the network as well.

And then there's Namor. Sue likes Namor-- as a friend. He's already proved himself to be kind and generous, having purchased her an apartment overlooking the water and all. We'll see where this goes, but she's certainly got a little soft spot for him.

[liebe_krieg]

Jack kinda shipped Seras and Aaron while he was here, for the record.
