Have you ever included ContestShipping in a drawing or fanfic that was originally made for another pairing?
I have in my fanfic where all of the charcters reunite (just like yours lol) it was orginally going to be pure pearlshipping but I deciced to feature everyship with Contestshipping being one of the most prominent ones.
If May and Drew would be a married couple, and both would be in the Grand Festival final together, do you think they want to win, or would they want to lose so their partner could win, and feel bad about the idea of beating their partner?
Well in my fanfic, something like this actually does happen. Drew tries to let May win but she ends up telling him that if he really loved her he'd do his best to help her test her skills as a Coordinator and so he does. that's how I think it would happen, anyway.
And are May and Drew a couple from the start there, or did they eventually get together in your fic? The fic I mentioned is a 42-chaptered PokeShipping Johto journey fic with Ash and Misty as 16 year olds. During the Whirl Cup, Ash calls all his old friends to reunite, and to cheer for Misty. May brings her boyfriend along: Drew. I also added something funny: Drew saw Misty as hot (Misty wasn't interested in him), severely angering May, compare it to the way Ash saw Giselle and Melody as hot, causing Misty to get furious. I added it in for both humorous purposes (May and Ash being mad) and storyline purposes (Ash's immaturity and jealousy).
And does Drew accept that and tries to win, or does he still want to lose?
I still can't believe it's been that long. Don't remind me.
However, Contestshipping is definitely still alive among shippers. The discussions are lively over on Tumblr, and it's really amazing to see all the different interpretations of their characters/relationship. I'm hoping we'll see them again, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.
imissthemsomuchitmakesmychesthurtlol
I'll never forget reading the debates between you and Jo-Jo.
I wouldn't count on seeing them again, sadly. We know how older characters get treated: like they never existed. Sad, but true.
Oh yes a Contestshipping thread. Count me in, I love me some Contestshipping.
I have to agree, it's seriously amazing how much of a fanbase this shipping still maintains even after all this time. Contestshippers are some of the most dedicated shippers there are, along with Pokeshippers.
It's crazy.
Yeah, it's nice to see how many shippers I meet on this forum like ContestShipping. This is a shipping that not many people will abandon, or replace with another shipping with one of the two characters, it's nice to see this shipping remaining strong. Something that helps is how many Poke-, Pearl-, Negai- and AmourShippers who have their Ash shipping as their OTP also like ContestShipping, it's just really likeable. It's just sad that a ContestShipping thread never managed to stay alive as long as the Ash shipping threads... It's time for some of the supporters of this shipping to get a bit more active here!
Thank you!
i like this ship, and have since it came out, i even have contestshipping tattoo on my leg, and used an artwork done by teppo pepper for it
Could you please take a picture? It seems really cool!
I have a new question, it might seem a bit off-topic, but it still seems fun to me:
If Ash would see May and Drew being a couple and maybe even see them kissing, do you think that could help Ash to realize love and get together with (insert girl you ship Ash with)?
I'm not sure, but it's not impossible. Seeing blatant examples could confront him with any feelings he might have, causing them to realize what it means. I'd say it would be cool if May and Drew indirectly help Ash to get with Misty.
And now a full ContestShipping question:
If May and Drew would do a couple cosplay, as what Pokemon do you want to see them cosplay?
An easy answer would be Blaziken and Flygon/Absol/Roselia, but I don't think so. They're from Hoenn, and both have a bug type (Beautifly, Masquerain), so maybe an Illumise and Volbeat cosplay could be a fun way for everyone to see they're a couple.
