VanderMorgan is my top RDR ship, VanderBell is okay, but I only like it as a one sided thing (like Micah crushing on Dutch and Dutch knows it and uses it against him + still fucks him, but pretty much only hates Micah in reality.. half pining, half hateship).
Bill/Kieran is good, I wanna say I like Johnigail but I mostly just like them as separate characters and think she can do 100x better than his dumb, smelly ass. BellLocke outside of my version of her can technically count I suppose? Like I honestly do not care for anyone else's version of Jenny, but usually thats a good sign the person who pairs them is chill at the very least. RheaDom, Curlya, Petrigrof. Idk, that might be about it, I've never been much of a shipper, but I do like aspects of these pairings.

I feel the need to explain this one specifically esp cos it's probably my absolute favorite canon/canon, but I like Curlya more as an idea prior to her assault or more as a.. they'd never actually be together thing, but there was some crushing, if that makes sense? I like to imagine even if Curly liked her, he respectfully kept it professional or only showed it subtly. I still wanna murder Curly for his lack of involvement and him siding with / trusting Jimmy to "take care of it" literally right after Anya confessed to him, when he could have no idea of knowing what Jimmy meant by that.

Curly, when I get you... but alas, I can see some fun and comforting alternate ways it could have gone. Ig I'm biased in the sense I like to imagine a world where he DID stand up for her and became a comfort for her throughout the pregnancy, because admittedly when I first played I did not fully catch / grasp the ending convo with Jimmy and Curly and took Curly as like, not getting it? and moreso being a dumb man who doesn't know how to handle the situation but DID care, but since replays I've realized he doesn't just do that, but straight up chooses the rapist over her like way more blatantly than I initially took in- to the point where said rapist is literally implying he could either get rid of her or all of them to save Curly's reputation (I know, I know, it's really obvious, but I'm going to express I was constantly drunk off my ass / abusing other substances around the time MWing was first popular so I was definitely both not taking in things very well or remembering them lol).

On top of that, because of my perception of how I viewed them at the time, it became a comfort pairing for me (again more talking "alternative, what could have been" routes here too), because Anya is someone I very very deeply relate to both in our traumas (especially with the use of substances within / around the assaults), and then also having to be coworkers with the rapist and when coming out about the assaults to managers I felt were there for me... nothing happening, almost seemingly to protect the rapist while throwing bare minimum pity towards me. Like I projected a lot onto this pairing, and it's sort of nuanced, but I do understand their canon dynamic atp and that's not exactly, relevant to how I pair them. I hope this makes sense lol.
Ughh, I hate him. And I love him as a character, too, but I admit my first perception of him plays a role in the way I pair them specifically. After those convos though, he can go and fuck himself for all I care.

Thing's I've vaguelyyy shipped before are RevengeShipping (Ashfur/Scourge), Bill/Zoey (L4D), Louick (L4D), Nellis (L4D), and Sly/Bentley (Sly Cooper).
I also really liked Huddy (House/Cuddy) until LITERALLY the episode is happened and they took the day off and then I couldn't stand it. Them pining was 1000x better than them as a couple.
There's other things I'm sure I fw / have paired in the past but eh, relevant to rn, these are probably my bigger interests.
