Rule number 1. The golden rule of shipping; ship it until it's proven unshippable!
#2 They are friends? Ship it!
#3 They are best friends? Ship it harder!
#4 Person A is person B's only friend?? Very ship!
#5 They used to be Друзья but now they don't like each other? Much ship!
#6 The harder the friendship ending fall out, the harder Ты ship.
#7 If the character x's sibling dated character y, then character x and character y are now shippable.
#8 Okay okay Ты can ship x's sibling with character y.
#9 And if you're feeling adventurous, edgy, and controversial ship person x and his/her sibling.
#10 If they hate each other/are rivals it's shippable.
#11 Is one of these rivals evil? And the other good? Of course that's how it is! Ship it! Ship it hard!
#12 Shipping your Избранное character's lover with your секунда Избранное character's lover is recommended.
#13 Now don't just ship your Избранное characters' Влюбленные together; play mix n match and have your Избранное and секунда Избранное switch lovers!
#14 Ya know what's better than one of your Избранное characters in a relationship? Having your two избранное Любовь each other. Ship that. Pronto.
#15 Yeah, that's all well and dandy. But now your least Избранное is feeling left out. Follow rules 12 & 13 but switch your 2nd Избранное out for your least favorite.
#16 What? Not wiiiled enough for you? Fine then, ship your Избранное with your least Избранное for maximum mixed feelings!
#17 Любовь triangle? Lol, not a problem; ship them all together in one giant threesome yacht.
#18 Number 17 is a no go? Well ship person A with person B while simultaneously shipping person A with person C.
#19 And then ship person B with person C.
#20 Its a bonus if person A cheated on person B with person C. Then ship person B with person C harder as person A cries in the distance.
#21 Is person A a peasant? Yes? *Le gasp* no way!!! Because person B is a prince/princess. Ты know what that means...SHIP IT!!!
#22 "My ship is sinking though." Go down with it captain.
#23 Person A is a pirate. Wonderful! This person can be shipped with everyone automatically. Let person A chase that booty!
#24 "But it's not canon." Sure it is. Anything is canon if Ты ship it hard enough.
#25 "But no one else ships it?" Then make them.
#26 What's this??? Ты have a NOTP??? Ha ha, no Ты don't everything is shippable. Ship all the things!
#27 Did Ты know that if they are opposites--personalitywise they are shippable.
#28 Your characters control one of the four elements? Ты know what they say; opposites attract.
#29 So do same elements.
#30 Matches like Air/Water или Fire/Earth work too. Sure they are neither opposites nor the same. But we don't discriminate.
#31 Male/Male Female/Female Female/Male. What did I say about discriminating. We don't do that here!
#32 "Yeah, but the Показать hasn't even aired yet. I just saw the trailer." Wonderful! Ты can start shipping earlier. Ты can ship them before shipping them was cool Ты hipster you!
#33 Do they run in the same pack? Are they part of the same organization? Then ship 'em! Each and every person in the organization will be shipped with every other member.
#34 Does your Избранное character have a clone? Ship that also.
#35 "But isn't that kinda weird?" *Shrugs* I don't Вопрос it.
#36 Is it canon? Lucky you. Ship it.

#38 If the word sempai was ever said, it's shippable.
#39 Got real life friends? Ship them.
#40 Hell, ship yourself. Go out and get some Любовь dammit!
#41 Shipping characters with object is not off limits Ты know. Ship Jerry with his Избранное lamp shade.
