Shipping = LULZ.

You know, I realized something. Everything, except for a couple canon pairings, I ship for the lulz. Seriously. For example:

--Amy/Shadow: Pink and perky girl pwns angsty arrogant asshole; love and wacky hijinks ensue. =D
--Knuckles/Rouge: "I'm gonna take your em-er-ald! And by 'emerald' I mean 'virginity'. =D" "THE FUCK YOU ARE!!!11one!1! WHAT. O.o"
--Sonic/Elise: Making rabid Sonamy fans froth at the mouth since 2006. Fandom is fucking funny.
--Sonic/Knuckles: He's a guy who loves adventure and can't stand still for a second. He's a guilible short-tempered guy stuck in the boonies guarding a big green rock. Together, THEY FIGHT CRIME!
--Sonic/Shadow: Sonic giggles like a schoolgirl at the prospect of fighting something big and scary with him. This can only be hilarious.
--Vector/Espio: C'mon, the Chaotix is funny as hell without me needing to do a thing. =D
--Eggman/GUN Commander: Can you imagine the arguments they've had? "I helped save the world!" "BUT YOU BLEW UP MY BASE! >.<"

And it extends to other fandoms, too (e.g. Bart/Billy wai.) The only non-canon ship of mine I don't have for the lulz is, what, Ashley/Lilka in Wild Arms 2?

So, in conclusion, SHIPPING. SERIOUS BUSINESS. LULZ.
