Shipping, derived from the word relationship, is the act of supporting a romantic pairing between two characters or people within a fandom. While its roots trace back to Star Trek fans in the 1970s who shipped Kirk and Spock, the term became a cornerstone of internet culture on platforms like Tumblr and Twitter. Shipping memes often depict the intense emotional investment of fans, known as shippers, as they analyze ships through fan art, fan fiction, and creative templates. Whether it is a canon ship or a crack ship, these memes serve as a universal language for expressing collective obsessions with character dynamics and chemistry.
