Aight I feel this.
Straight up I have been pondering since DP was released how people can support Conjunctionshipping :\
It makes no sense to me, Mars is underage and Saturn is too young for her really she needs an older man who's much more dominant. Not to mention Platinum sort of shot it down with her going off to find Cyrus... how can people still support it after that?? Like, just wondering. 8/
Saturn seems like he'd get annoyed with how childish Mars is since he's all workaholic and crap he'd need a much more mature woman (IE Jupiter) who wouldn't be all clingy.
MUCH RESPECT I just don't get the ship at all.
;107;
Eh, nobody else has answered it from the looks of things so I'll take a crack at it.
The age thing can be total interpretation by the way. Mars' real age isn't confirmed iirc so Conjunctionshippers may find that Mars and Saturn are around the same age as each other. Also, Mars and Saturn are probably the two most popular of the TG gang and most people have a tendency to pair their favourites up with each other - that's how you can get people who support ships like Ikari and heck, even Bishieshipping in my case.
Also continuing on the physical side of things, some people would prefer Mars to be the dominant one plus may believe that Mars and Saturn make the more attractive couple. Of course, this stuff is mere opinion cuz I think red and blue make a good combination, but blue and purple, red and purple both kick
ass as well. XD
Does Mars necessarily need someone who is more dominant than her? Again, that's just an interpretation of her character. Some Conjunctionshippers prefer her to be the boss of things.
Does Saturn need someone who is older than him? Well, not necessarily. You can still get older people with lacking maturity. Maturity =/= age. Some Conjunctionshippers may believe that putting Saturn with a more mature woman would be as fun. Sure, they'd probably have smart, logical chats but that isn't exactly shippy. Conjunctionshippers like Conjunctionshipping because it's a pairing that has fun added to it.
They may think that because Saturn's a workaholic that he needs to break out of his shell and get out there and do more crazy stuff, have more fun and believe that Mars can do that. Mars is not really what I'd call childish by the way. She's the fiesty type, the way I see things. Sure, that type of attitude could come across as a bit much for Saturn at first, but they're all Commanders and I think their loyalty to serve Akagi would come before irritation with one another, so the two would have to get along at some point. So Conjunctionshippers may possibly see a love-hate thing going on with Mars and Saturn. Also again, Mars = clingy is just fan interpretation of her character. I, on the other hand don't see her being particularly clingy and more, while she'd go off and tease her fellow Commanders, she'd still have a sense of independence.
I mean, she's a Commander, she can't have gotten that position without showing good and actual signs of leadership. So I think that she definitely has a mature side to her and Conjunctionshippers may believe that she does have the maturity to be with a guy like Saturn. They may think that Saturn and Jupiter won't have as much fun in a relationship. Also while Mars does have that devotion thing going on for Akagi aka BIG BOSS MAN, something she'll have to learn is that Akagi doesn't show his emotions well and his number one priority are his goals that he wants to achieve and iirc, falling in love isn't one of them. So Mars could have all the devotion she wants but still get next to nothing from it all.
Why can't people still support a shipping even with certain hints? I mean, there are people who support Advanceshipping even though others may believe Contestshipping to be the most canon shipping in Pokemon and Haruka ran off to the same region as Shuu and all. So a hint can't nullify reasons to support another ship. Sure, it can mean that a ship is being more pointed at in terms of canon but uh, this is Pokemon, at least a third of us don't give a toss for the canon. XD;
On that note of loyalty towards Akagi, that could be a problem in terms of well, Mars x Saturn, Saturn x Jupiter, Jupiter x Mars due to the fact that their loyalty towards him becomes first before anything. I think that it would be hard for any relationship to sustain, not an open one at least. LOL, I'm not really doing much answering to your question but I do have some thoughts that I may contribute to that new TG Shipping Thread sooner or later. Okay, back to answering.
Well, I hope I did a decent job of answering your question. XD; I'm generally open to all the TG shippings so I did try to answer with a Conjunctionshipper POV and all. Btw, I wasn't trying to deny other ships so sorry if I sounded like I did. XD;
Short version: people may think Mars and Saturn look good together, prefer the idea of their possible love-hate relationship, don't feel threatened by hints pointing towards conflicting ships... Actually, I hate summarising, just read what I wrote. XD

Okay, now I want to ask about some things. How can people get into ships with characters from the anime with movie-only characters (EG. Kissshipping, Altoshipping)? It's something that's been puzzling me for a while. Like, I support some nevermet/crackships and get fun from that but anime character x movie-only character ships have never really clicked with me and I'm interested to know how other people came to like them.
Also, one more thing, how can people stick to one shipping per character? It's something else that's been bugging me for a while because I always get that vibe like they're not being very openminded when actually, they could've considered all possibilities and just have happened to stick to the ones they deem their favourite above the others.
Sorry, mine aren't pointing to one ship in particular.
