And I'm really into crack shipping and sarcastic ships, too, but again, I draw the line at some point and my serious ships are based off of relationships that I think could actually work from a romantic standpoint. Just to clear the air, I ship out two strays (Blake and Sun) together, which is kind of a direct contradiction of most of what I've said on this forum thus far. However, they are the kind of ship I could get behind. They're very compatible with eachother. They've both experienced similar descrimination because of their being Faunus, but they "cope" (for lack of a better word) using methods on complete opposites off the spectrum, thus enabling them to teach eachother a lot about how to deal with stuff. And they seem like the type of people who could make eachother happy as a couple. I'm not much into angsty ships.

But, off of that tangent, I'm also kind of hesitant to ship people who are close friends. I think there's a very fine line between best friends who are better that way, and close friendships that develope into a romantic thing and are better like that. It's a bit hard to judge which side of the line most pairs would be better on, which is, I think, the source of a lot of this "meh" ships. Again, not trying to sink any ships, but I think that a lot of popular ships (like Blake/Yang or Weiss/Ruby, to name a few) are good examples of close friends that should just stay this way. Opinions?
