--- Quote from: Morituri on 16 Mar 2018, 20:24 ---Shipping her with Clinton is not wishing the best for Clinton. Or at least, it's not wishing Clinton an easy future where he simply steps into a happy relationship. Happiness if Roko reaches it with anyone is going to be hard won and long in the making. And perhaps wonderful in the long run for having been something achieved instead of something discovered, but it's just not going to be easy.

Who'd settle for an easy future? Some people enjoy looking after others; some simply would not be happy stepping into a happy, low effort relationship.

When the rule limiting shipping was introduced, people were making inappropriate ships and being creepy. We made it clear that discussing what Jeph sets up is (naturally) permitted. But I still hugely dislike the use of shipping language and ridiculous portmanteaus to describe what is, for now no more than a passing acquaintance - which may or may not develop into friendship and subsequently a bit more.
Global Moderator Comment Indeed, I was on the point of asking people to cut back on the shipping talk and jargon when I read your post.
So please - if you want to talk about the possibility of friendship developing between Clinton and Roko, do just that, in plain English.

They could form a secret agent team and call themselves Basilton Bond.
(And if you get the joke it means you are very old . . . )

Clinton's mother is sexy, charming, and serene. Clinton and Claire are skinny, anxious, helpy, and, though reasonably good-looking, unfashionably so. It follows that their father was even more skinny, anxious, helpy, and unfashionable than they are. Clinton's father made two babies with a sexy, charming, serene woman. Clinton will be fine.

Clinton's father no longer has any contact with the family, and both children speak of him with disdain.
There's a debate to be had whether our personality is shaped more by nature or nurture, but I suspect Clinton would much rather it be the latter- that way he has the chance to not be as good a man as his father, but a better one.
Either way, the Clinton we see now is a whole lot more mature than his original appearance- not surprising as he's going through university where one grows up *a lot*. He still has flaws and always will, but he's showing progress. I'm happy to see what he'll grow into.
(He's not my orientation, but I've seen many people Like him be happily partnered up. I certainly wouldn't say he was undesirable.)
