Rumbelle and Barry and Patty top our TV Ships of this week. Every week, ships, A.K.A. relationships, are highlighted on our favorite TV shows. Which were your favorite partners and pairings this week?
Did your favorite ship sail this week, did a new one launch, or did yours sadly sink? If you love shipping, you know the drama that shipping wars bring. Your ships don’t have to be canon for you to love them, and that’s half the fun.
Remember, if we didn’t include your favorite, give a suggestion to the writer who usually covers your fandom in the recap discussion or in the comments below.
‘Once Upon a Time’ — All Aboard Rumpbelle/Rumbelle
Passengers: Belle and Rumpel
Sunset Cruise: When everyone else is completely fine with cutting their losses, Belle is not. Rumpel’s fate matters to her. She will not give up no matter what anyone says about him, including Rumpel himself.
Ship Status: This cruise might have put into port for awhile, but it’s coming back out of dry dock. We all know that co-captain Rumpel has a way of throwing depth-charges overboard at an alarming rate. Maybe, just maybe, he’s out of self-destructive ammo.
‘The Flash’ — All Aboard Barry and Patty
Passengers: Barry Allen and Patty Spivot
Sunset Cruise: Barry and Patty go on an adorable first date. Poor Barry is suffering from temporary blindness but trying to hide it, but Patty, a detective, figures it out and it only makes their date more endearing. They end the night with a steamy kiss.
Ship Status: Nothing says “I love you” like a night vision goggles cruise. We’re gonna need a shipper name here. This isn’t a one-time trip.
‘How to Get Away With Murder’ — All Aboard Bonnie and Asher
Passengers: Bonnie Winterbottom and Asher Millstone
Sunset Cruise: There’s really no coming back from finding out that your boy toy sat idly by as his friends gang raped a girl at his birthday party, and he did nothing about it that didn’t involve saving his and his friends’ asses.
Ship Status: Fun while it lasted, but this one is sunk. Asher is looking to repair, but at this point the ship has no bottom left.
