Favorite Animorphs Shipping

[Dylan]

Agreed.

I loooooooooooooove Rachel and Tobias <3

[Tim Bruening]

My personal opinion is that the given options are... kind of boring. All right, so the Rachel/Tobias pairing has a certain charming enigma to it.

I <3 poparena, but seriously, Marco/Rachel is blasphemy imho. Gotta get behind the enthusiasm there, though!

That said...

...

Ax/Marco is EVERYTHING, and all the people I've encountered who ship Ax/Marco make a compact tumblr constellation of sunshine rainbow farts! 

But they are both MALE, and neither one seems to be into homosexuality!

I don't know about that -- I think a compelling case could be made that Marco at least is holding down the B in GLBTQ. 

But you're right that Ax is written ostensibly straight! I do think yet another compelling case could be made that gender-based attraction is less of a big deal to Andalites than it is to humans, though.

Anyway, I don't necessarily ship Ax/Marco because it makes sense... I ship Ax/Marco because it's AMAZING.

What does Q stand for?  Why is Ax/Marco amazing?

Q stands for Questioning

I ship Ax/Marco too! It was my first ship ever. *this song plays in the background*

To consummate the relationship, would Ax morph into a FEMALE human?

Pfft aw HECK NAW.

What's wrong with a female Ax?

[gunterforpresident]

Eh, there's nothing *wrong* with it per se. It just isn't a necessary step in the Ax/Marco shipping revolution.

Would you prefer that MARCO be the one to morph a woman?

What kind of revolution is an Ax/Marco shipping revolution?  Will it end homophobia, or bring about equal wages for women, or end corporate domination of politics, or introduce a radical new type of boat?

[YeerkSalad]

You should add Ax/Marco. I don't ship them, but there were a few times when it seemed as if the author(s) were.

I'm paraphrasing, of course, but do you remember something like the following?

Seating arranger butler guy: (to Ax and Marco) I'm sorry, but there's only 1 seat left.
Marco: It's okay. We're very close friends. (sits in chair and pulls Ax down onto his lap)

Very close friends? VERY close friends?

EDIT: I guess you guys beat me to mentioning this pairing. I should have read the other posts.

Why can't they just be gay males? One of them doesn't have to be the woman...

Ax has mentioned being distracted by girls in school, and he was attracted to a girl Andalite in "The Arrival".  Marco has also expressed attraction to girls.

I propose the following ship: Tidwell/Illium.  Illium knows Tidwell quite intimately, and serves as Tidwell's best companion, and could serve as a replacement for Tidwell's late wife.  He would just need to morph into a human woman!
