How would one tag that though? The percent sign is a special symbol...

Also, I hate to say it, but seeing those shipping grid images show up every time I search a particular pairing is really annoying. Can we like... NOT tag them with the pairings and just let "shipping_chart" keep them under control?

Hell, they're annoying in terms of character names, too. I wonder if e.g. a shipping chart featuring beta kids and Alternians could just be tagged that way, "shipping_chart", "beta_kids" and "alternians".

Too bad about the % character. "two_percent_milk" still gets the point across but it's not as visually clear...

Yes. Exactly that, yes.

As for the tag proposal, I seem to recall it being milk_and_honey before getting switched to techbros for whatever reason???

It seems "techbros" used to be called "techbro2" on the older images. I didn't see any "milk_and_honey", but that's not exactly something I can just put into the search bar and find in the tag history.

Also, I feel as though taking the ship/character names off the shipping chart images defeats the purpose of having them on this site anyway.

I disagree, only because the sheer number of ship tags makes it ambiguous as to which pairings the charts themselves are making reference to. Between specific shipping images and this very thread, I think people should be able to find their way without them.

shipping charts


I sort of figured the grid charts are here because they're so complex and all-encompassing, not as a "ship-finder" or such. Also, I just realized: do you think that the ship names should be tagged for the benefit of people's blacklists? There's a lot of ships people really don't want to see without being all Equaranon about it.

A useful side effect, I guess. Pretty sure that ease of searching was the initial goal, though, and I'll admit I don't personally blacklist any of them. Just because I don't ship something, doesn't mean there isn't some great art out there for said NoTP.

Always impressed by how much work you put in here to complete the chart. Saw you cleaning up a bunch of the dupe posts too. You deserve like a free art commission or something. (Not that I can guarantee promptness or quality...)

Implemented Jakeships now. Proper_English, Hellmurder_Scene, Blazing_Saddles and Bubble_Trouble don't have enough images among them to even set the tag justifiably.
Got blindsided by Interchangeable_Lenses and Skull_Fans. Where did these come from?! The names are a bit weak, but both ships -should- have a tag; there's more images for them than I thought.

Man, I don't know, Jake ships are hard to name. I was hoping to riff on "frame" for the autoresponder, but all I got was frame_of_mind for Auto/Terezi and hearts_aframe for Auto/Dirk (which I love, but okay "my little phony" is really good too).

Maybe "glass" would be a good autoresponder keyword? But all I can come up with for Jake is bold_as_glass (i.e. "bold as brass") which is really shitty, and... and... I'm the only one who will ever like your_ass_is_glass.

Maybe world_glass as a pun on "world-class" since Jake is an aspiring globetrotter? No, it sucks, everything sucks especially Jake.

Calliope sucks too. What do you do? I agree that "skull fans" isn't strong but... There's got to be something with "bruise" and "muse", like maybe musin_for_a_bruisin. Or maybe there hasn't.

ALWAYS. More pictures! The Booru must feed!

Seriously, sharing is caring. If it wasn't for here, I wouldn't even know about half of the artists I follow now

Not in my experience. If you could build a mock-up grid though and link it, I'll gladly populate the pairings.


I'm a bit late to the party, but I figured small grids like this (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PSjupwfaHawdAwwhiigEds41ZtFClTcOyAMX8ccBrGU/edit#gid=0) could work. It seems easier to check for ship names than the current format on the second page.

Also, those are all the current ancestor-exclusive ship names and a lot of them are just placeholder portmanteau names right now, so if anyone has better names, suggest them!

Thanks for the access permission btw.
You might just have a case for building mini-grids for "within category" pairs, and then just the list form for outsiders (or really, "cross-catagory" pairings) But I think the main grid does still need to be as big as it is because the alpha/beta kids and trolls both have a LOT of cross-pairing. HIC, Dad, WV, and others may end up being given a home on both sheets simply due to their prominence.
tl;dr I'll build it in right after I finish those Dirkships. :/
