I hope you really enjoyed this site and hopefully more will be added later with the documentary.
Storyboard
Here’s an idea of how my video will look like. I’ll start with questions about shipping, random people will be asked the question first and then we’ll ask experts who know shipping really well the same questions. After that we’ll define the words or words we didn’t get again and show some pairings that follow that word.

OC (Original Character or Other Character)
(OC’s Names from left to right: Black Gryph0n, ILoveKimPossibleAlot, and Ink Rose)
Fangirls/boys will ship characters from their fandoms with your own characters either a character they made of themselves or one that they made for fun. It’s okay, but some OC’s and characters together don’t really go together.
Fangirling/boying
There are many different kinds of fangirling/boying. Here are a couple of things that happen when a fan is fangirling/boying:
- Waving their hands around and jumping up and down, is always the start
- They start to scream with excitement and smile a lot
- As they talk they will increasingly talk faster
- They will stop talking and try to catch their breath
- They may have some tears on their face and it’s okay they’re not crying they’re just really happy
- But if they see their favorite actor or actress then their whole face will start to tear up and making themselves speechless and crying
OTP (One True Pairing)
OTP or One True Pairing can be for your favorite pairing out of all your pairings or your favorite pairing out of each fandom. Some OTPs do become canon in the series.
Feels
Every fangirl/boy might say “the feels they hurt” or “the feels, the feels, there’s too many feels.” It’s just an expression of saying “my heart it can’t take it anymore,” it’s to show your emotions on how you’re feeling about either the show, movie, book, anime, etc. or your shipping.
Canons

These are some pairings that had final became canon at the end of the series or halfway through the series.
Yaoi and Yuri
Yaoi – Boy X Boy
Yuri – Girl x Girl
BE WARNED!!!
Yaoi is slang in Japanese for “boy love” or homosexuality. Yuri is the female version. It’s usually pretty graphic and on the internet it’s difficult to avoid, no matter how good of filters you have on your computer. Yaoi is extremely popular with fangirls because they like seeing their favorite anime guys together. You MUST learn what these definitions are before someone shows you something that you won’t forget.
Crackships
Two characters or people that aren’t together and never will be under any circumstance. A legit crackship is one that probably won’t happen, but it’s not necessarily impossible. There’s not really any reason the characters aren’t together other than the fact they simply don’t feel that way about each other.
