I usually can understand why people ship most pairings even if I don't really see it myself. And that's true about the Doctors being different and having different chemistry with each companion/Master. That's part of the reason I find it odd for me to even kind of ship Eleven/Amy. I love the description of the Doctor as a serial fall-in-lover but he's too at home with the universe, life, everything to really... I don't know. Settle down? And I know that's not what the Doctor is about and there's no rule that anyone has to or SHOULD settle down. But I guess I am one of those soul mate/OTP people. I know in real life you can love many and have wonderful relationships with a variety of people. I guess I just like the fantasy of finding the ONE and I like to imagine that with my favorite pairings because even if it never happens to me, at least I know they'll be happy.

Which sounds ridiculous, but I guess that's why it's fantasy ;)

Anyhoo, most of the time my 'shipping' doesn't even necessarily mean anything sexual. I just think they're fun and should spend as much time as possible being adorable together.
