While sailing in the Mediterranean sea, in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62) flashed the Italian Amerigo Vespucci with light signal asking «Who are you?», the full rigged ship answered «Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy». The US ship replied «You are the most beautiful ship in the world».

Great, now I ship actual ships.

You are the most beautiful ship in the world.

Dear god, I’m in love with two ships in love. (Everything is wonderful and nothing hurts.)

Oops my hand slipped

Mom: “They’re cute.  I’d put them in a boat.”

Me: “What?”

Mom: “Isn’t that what it’s called?  When you think people would be good together?  They’re on a boat?”

Sister: “You mean you ship them?”

Mom: “Is that it?  I knew it had something to do with boats.  I ship them.”

As part of the AO3 Ship Stats project, this list shows the 100 most-posted pairing tags on
Archive Of Our Own

in the period August 2016 – August 2017.

This list was created by comparison of current number of fics with data gathered for the 2016 AO3 Ship Stats.

There are 65 M/M pairings on the list, 18 F/M, 7 F/F, 6 Gen and 4 Other.
(Please note that on AO3, ‘Name & Name’ indicates platonic
relationships (Gen), while ‘Name/Name’ is used for romantic pairings.)

Of the 200 names on the list, 32 are women and 4 are characters of ambiguous gender, down from 34 and 7 in the 2016 list. 63 are POC, and 8 are racially ambiguous, compared with 49 and 15 last year.

For more information about the AO3 Ship Stats project, please check out the accompanying FAQs. You might also be interested in the All-Time Top 100 Pairings and the Femslash Top 100 list.

A text-only version of this data is beneath the cut.

Edit: Fixed race category for Otabek Altin.

Oh

All sports are gay and I’ve been preaching this forever

fun fact: the media keeps trying to imply that diego costa (white jersey) bit gareth barry (blue jersey) out of some sort of hetero football-rage during the game but barry insists it wasn’t a bite which is apparently a hard concept for the football association to grasp cause they cant think of any other explaination for the above image lmao

That ain’t no bite

I think my favorite part of this gif is the third guy walking by in the background, who judging by his expression is pretty sure he’s just won the league-wide betting pool on when these dudes will finally break down and admit their love.

I don’t know these people but there was no way I was not going to reblog that gif.

in times of sadness, remember that auston and mitch

  • canonically carpool together
    • auston matthews confirmed as that person you don’t wanna bug in the morning unless your name is mitch marner
  • canonically own and wear matching suits
  • canonically own and wear matching ties
  • canonically share a blue jays hat
    • you know the one
    • consider: you’ve never seen bruce wayne and batman in the same room, or clark kent and superman in the same room, and you’ve also never seen two of those jays hats in the same room as them
    • the superhero verdict™ is that it’s the same hat
    • you can’t argue sound logic, kids
    • sorry, i don’t make up the rules
  • canonically wait for each other so they can step out onto the ice together
  • canonically go out of their way to sit together on the bench
  • canonically go out of their way to sit together in the locker room even though they aren’t stallmates
    • not stallmates but apparently soulmates am i right
  • canonically sit together at baseball and basketball outings even when they’re there with other teammates
    • oh, look, it’s the infamous blue jays hat
    • consider: they probably go out of their way to sit together at these outings (*cough* dates *cough*) like everywhere else lbr
  • canonically sing along to songs together
    • even on the bench
    • even in the middle of a game
    • sometimes even with the approval of bon jovi himself for their effort to deliver bench karaoke renditions (cyb bon jovi ships the thing too wow #confirmed)
    • consider: it’s not a stretch to imagine them partnering up if ever there was a leafs karaoke night
  • canonically go to fairs together
    • where mitchell literally giggles at auston because of his basketball skills (or lack thereof rip auston “it’s the ball” matthews)
    • *cough* more dates *cough* wow
  • canonically are each other’s biggest fans
    • on auston’s historic four-goal debut, mitch straight up told reporters it came as no surprise to him (b/c his boyf is #talented and obvs he knew that already, jeez, it’s simple math @ hockey media)
    • speaking of mitchell “prez of the matthews fan club” marner, he also predicted auston breaking his goal drought literally hours before it happened (and by predicted i mean mitch marner is auston matthews’ good luck charm because what else would i mean)
  • canonically have had their parental units mixed up
    • by the same network that said “clearly auston matthews loves him” re: mitch marner
    • sportsnet: the realest mvp when it comes to these dumbs
  • canonically look at each other like this
    • and also like this
    • and also like this
    • i can’t believe they invented love

Ship Sizes

omniship-armada:

Supercarrier: fandom flagship.  Everybody and their dog ships it.  The fandom is glutted with artwork and fic.  You cannot escape this ship.

Dreadnought: massively popular.  Nearly everybody ships it.  You can, with dedication, in theory, reach the end of the AO3 archive for the ship’s tag, but it’ll take a long time.

Cruiser: pretty popular ship.  Not everyone ships it, but everyone knows about it.  Has a good amount of fic/art, and probably multiple ask blogs.

Frigate: just plain popular.  Feels like it could use more fanworks.  New people to the fandom might not know about it, but they’ll stumble across it sooner rather than later.

Gunboat: bit of a rarepair.  It might have an ask blog or two.  A couple big name fans ship it.  Probably only takes a few weeks to get through the entire AO3 backlog, and one new fic gets added during that time.

Tugboat: rarepair.  Almost never seen except as a side pairing to a more popular ship.  You can usually get through everything on AO3 in a matter of days.  You’ve forgotten what it is to be picky about what you read.

Rowboat: less than a dozen people ship it.  You all know each other.  You exist in an endless cycle of the same five people desperately producing art and fic and one person who constantly contributes headcanons.

Canoe: you are one of maybe three people who ship it, and there’s a not-insignificant chance you’ve never encountered those other two hypothetical shippers.  You spend your days paddling furiously in hopes of keeping the ship afloat, dreaming of the day you upgrade to a rowboat so you can finally rest.
