I know I haven't done a TTTE meme like this in awhile but here's my TTTE version of this meme anyway~

A SHIP THAT YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH AT FIRST SIGHT: Rusty x Duncan
Given the fact that I've shipped these two since before I even knew what shipping was, there's no other pairing that could've taken this spot.
A SHIP THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE AT FIRST BUT NOW YOU DO: Mavis x Emily
It's not that I've ever had any targeted hatred for Mavis x Emily but I've never thought to ship them, mainly because I primarily ship both them with Diesel and therefore I saw them as more like rivals than anything else. However I realized that just because both of them liked the same guy didn't mean they couldn't bond over how annoying Diesel can be plus they do have similar feisty yet mature personalities. Mavis x Emily still isn't my favorite ship but I can now say that I support it, especially since there isn't a whole lot of potential for lesbian ships in TTTE.
A SHIP THAT YOU USED TO LIKE BUT NOW YOU DON'T: Thomas x Ashima
I really don't know why I ever liked Thomashima since I normally hate most popular pairings in all fandoms, the only reason that I can come up with is how easy it is to ship something when there's an obvious crush involved. The thing is just because Thomas has a crush on her doesn't mean that Ashima sees him as anything more than a friend especially since she knows from experience just how much of a brat he can be.
FAVORITE POPULAR SHIP: Cranky x Carly
There aren't alot of popular pairings that I actually like as I said before regarding Thomashima, so this was an easy choice. I could've picked Luke x Millie or Toby x Henrietta but ultimately Cranky x Carly is my favorite, the trope of pairing a ray of sunshine like Carly with a grump like Cranky has always been one of my favorites.
FAVORITE RAREPAIR: Rajiv x Shankar
Despite having lots of ships to choose from due to the fact that most of the pairings that I like could be classified as rarepairs, Rajiv x Shankar was an easy choice for this category. Not only is it among my top 5 favorite TTTE ships in general but it has 2 aspects that are super common with rarepairs: minor characters and at least one of the characters in the rarepair more commonly getting paired with someone else (it's Noor Jehan in this case).
FAVORITE CONTROVERSIAL SHIP: Lady x Diesel 10
Enough people ship Ladyten that it could've gone in the favorite popular ship category but the thing is for every person who loves Ladyten like I do, there's another person who hates Ladyten with a passion. Granted the sort of people who hate Ladyten enough to harass Ladyten shippers that much tend to be nostalgiatards who can't accept that TATMR isn't canon but these kind of people tend to be annoyingly vocal about what they don't like.
THE SHIP THAT YOU WANT TO BECOME CANON THE MOST: Stephen x Glynn
I could've put Toby x Henrietta in this spot but then I realized that ship has as close to canon as a TTTE ship will ever get since the end of
Hasty Hannah. There's also the fact that while Toby x Henrietta is cute, I do like Stephen x Glynn alot more and in fact Stephen x Glynn shares that same sort of old married couple vibe that Toby x Henrietta has except it's gayer.
YOUR COMFORT SHIP: Lorenzo x Beppe
Honestly this category was the hardest one to pick a ship for, such a vague definition means that what could be classified as a comfort ship differs from person to person. For me though, wholesomeness or just a general lack of angst is the most important element of a comfort ship which is why I ultimately choose Lorenzo x Beppe since what could be sweeter than the loyalty they have towards each other.
THIS SHIP DESERVES MORE ATTENTION: China Clay Twins x Logging Loco Twins (Bill x Bash/Ben x Dash)
It's not that I expect any ship involving the Logging Locos to gain much traction given how much those three characters are hated but it still amazes me that apparently nobody before me thought to ship Bash & Dash with Bill & Ben. Not only do both sets of twins have an affinity for chaos but they also seem to be around the same mental age which is one of the reasons why I can't bring myself to support the ship between China Clay twins and the Scottish twins.
