"Trojan Horse" would be better than "Trojan Virus", no?

I don't get the Vriska in "Schroedinger's Ship", or the Eridan in "Sickleback". "Seaweed" is pretty great though.

Tag status report
Dragonfly and Fashionabull for Tavros/Terezi and Tavros/Kanaya are in place. Also tagged a fuckton of missing Queen_Bee and Iron_Maiden, and added Make_Her_Pay for Aradia/Vriska, one of the last Act 5 kidships of appreciable size without a tag.

(I think that leaves Vriska/Eridan, Aradia/Eridan and John/Feferi as the last tagless ones with over 15 fnarts?)

Mom/Dad still needs a tag of course.

On another note, what about auspistices? A few seem to be tagged with all 3 applicable pair tags, a few with just the corresponding kismesis tag.

I don't see why they shouldn't be tagged with all three, the auspistice is filling a quadrant

(though admittedly it is a bit vague if your ashen quadrant is filled when someone else mediates or when you are the mediator. I'm leaning towards the latter since Kanaya was / is a multi-ashen ship filler... or at least desired to be)

I still say go with all three.

The reason I chose virus was to associate it with the hacking related Trojan in addition to the traditional Oddysean one as well. But Trojan horse works fine too.

Stickleback is a species of fish.
Shroedinger's Ship refers to a thought experiment that revolved around probability (Vriska's Luck) and the life of a cat (Nepeta).

Oh, I got the double reference, but...

Seems to work just fine.

Equius/Sollux = Double Reignbow?/Trojan Virus?/Hardware Software
Vriska/Nepeta = Schroedinger's Ship
Eridan/Karkat = Sickleback
I humbly request that Seaweed replaces Grapes of Wrath for Eridan/Gamzee.

That clears up a bunch of the poorly named ones on mine. Thanks for those!
On a further note, Make_Her_Pay, Fashionabull and Fashion_Bee are now linked in.

Hey Rohandrius, there's a bit of a goof in your grid. Make Her Pay is in the Jade/Vriska slot at E14.

Lemon_Lime and Techbros still aren't linked.

Also, speaking of Jade/Vriska, maybe the ship name for that could be Spiderdog?

Okay for some reason someone's tagging Dirk/Dave as clockworkorange? Even though we already have a tag for that, stridercest, and if you want just Dirk/Dave you can just search "stridercest -bro -alpha_dave", so yeah I'm not really sure what's going on here.

Yeah, that's me. Having actual tags for ships makes sense? Especially on things like the shipping directory? I mean, stridercest is a name that covers pretty much all iterations of dave and dirk and bro and davesprite and alpha dave, but I think Dirk/Dave and Bro/Dave should have their own names because of their large popularity and also because there are people who might say, blacklist bro/dave because it makes them uncomfortable, but who may not have the same problem with dirk/dave.

Also, directory has been updated.

I imagine anyone who's going to blacklist "stridercest" in the first place is not going to be particularly motivated to switch to blacklisting some detailed combination of individual tags even if there might be some variant they find less objectionable. I certainly am not, for one…

And having JUST Dirk/Dave and Bro/Dave tags won't even work anyway since we do not have a whitelist / tag combination sensitive blacklist. If I want to keep not seeing Bro/Davesprite, "stridercest" stays blocked.

"clockworkorange" is so much better though.

That's all, I have nothing else useful or meaningful to contribute, I'll duck out now.

A lot of people have a sensitivity to Bro/Dave that they don't have to any other Stridercest combos, so I still think it's an okay idea that will be fine for some people. Doubt we're going to have a sudden outpouring of Davesprite/Bro.

Also, it just plain serves to individualize the pairings? I mean, just because they are called the same name in fandom, doesn't mean they aren't in fact completely different pairings. It's like slapping Jake/Jade and Grandpa/Jade with the same label, only imagine both of these are actually popular ships.
