Shippers of the Escapist, do you ship Yahtzee and Jim Sterling.

[Ninmecu]

What the fuck?

I asked myself that same question and I'm still fucking confused. And I've seen my fair share of shit..I don't even, what?

 

[Andy Shandy]

What the fuck?

Between this and what you've been tweeting about, this must've been one hell of a surreal day for you.

 

[Stryc9]

I can't believe I'm asking this, especially seeing as how I don't really ship at all.

No, because Jim's heart will always belong to Jonathan Holmes.

 

[FPLOON]

What the fuck?

Hey, look on the bright side... You now have a[nother] new idea for a poem...

...I'll see myself out...

 

[Objectable]

No, why the hell would I do that?!

I already ship Bob and Yahtzee!

In this instance "ship" = relationship. Shippers are devoted fans/advocates of a particular pairing of characters, usually one that isn't canon. Like say someone who really thinks Spock and Kirk are perfect for each other[footnote]One of the oldest and most famous "slash fiction ships".[/footnote] or that Leia and Lando makes more sense than Leia and Han. Shippers will often make art of the characters together, as well as impassioned pleas explaining why their chosen pairing is the "correct" one. And it's not that unusual to see different shipping factions fight amongst themselves.

Hmm... seems pretty fucking ridiculous to me. Being a fan or passionate about something is one this but this is just... eh fuck it, I won't even attempt to try and understand this mentality.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

What the fuck?

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction too.

 

[Launcelot111]

The last time I was at the UPS Store, they had some pretty big boxes. I think I could ship Yahtzee, though the postage on Jim would probably be prohibitively expensive.

Remember all that fuss about "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob"? Basically it's those people but for every fandom.
In my (admittedly limited) experience shippers usually come in four flavors-

[A.] People who identify most with one character as a sort of "self-insert" like Bella was for her readers. So character X getting with character Y is kind of like said viewer getting with character Y.

[B.] People who think that (34 of) a particular pairing is hot.

[C.] People who got emotionally invested in the idea of a relationship between characters for one or both previous reasons when they were young, that never came about. I'm sure there are still a lot of people bitter that Return of the Jedi changed course and made Luke Leia's brother instead of killing Han to resolve that love triangle. Because they always imagined themselves as Luke before that so they were vicariously cock-blocked.

[D.] People who like to argue on the internet.


Naturally, there is a lot of overlap between these.

You see, Jim was the new kid on campus, and he needed help finding his classes. He was walking through the hallways, lost and nearly crying when he ran into Yahtzee and spilled his books on the ground. Yahtzee was a hot upper classman, he's been at Escapist University so much longer and he was just so handsome. Yahtzee, because he's a good guy like that, picked up Jim's books for him and offered to show him to his classes. Jim couldn't help but notice just how s-s-s-sugoi Yahtzee was. When Jim stops at his new dorm, he finds out he and Yahtzee are roommates, and he says, "i-it's not like I find you kawaii~~~~, Yahtzee-kun!" Then he trips and lands on Yahtzee and it looks like they're going to fuck each other right on the linolium floor, and Jim's like, "i-it's a good thing we're not g-gay, Yahtzee-sama."

In a scene after the first episode's credits, Yahtzee is alone in his dorm, wiping a tear, and the viewer can guess HE IS GAY ALL ALONG

I have to admit this made me laugh.


Anyway since the obvious jokes have been made the answer is no. I don't get shipping in the first place and shipping real people is just creepy.

 

[Lady_Kaellyn]

But Yahtzee and Ashens would be much better :C
Not that i'm aware of whether or not the two actually know of each other....
Oh well.
All aboard the Yahtzling ship.

 

[karma9308]

What the fuck?

Well now we know how to summon Jim to the forums. Anyone have an idea for Yahtzee?

 

[Grach]

Nah, Jim has a wife. When a ship is official, all others burn down.

Yahtzee's gonna have to make do with that one barista that remembers his favourite drink.

not the triple-c**ted hooker

Please tell me you meant to say the triple-c**ted hooker.

The triple-cunted hooker is like the porn fairy, as in, we all hope she exists.

 

[WWmelb]

I am so fucking confused. Normally i can pick up what the hell is going on in these things, but my god i'm confused.

 

[WWmelb]

What the fuck?

grrr that's exactly what i wanted to say, but i would have received a low content warning just for that lol

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

We're forgetting Willem Dafoe so soon?

If you've watched Jimquisition for any length of time, you already know this to be true.

 

[bioshockedcriticjrr]

What the fuck?

Jim, I am so sorry. Will you ever forgive me?
