Have you ever went back to a media from when you were younger thinking its not going to be as good as you remember but it absolutely slaps?
You think that, "oh yeah, remember [INSERT MEDIA] from when you watched / played it when you were eight? It probably sucks now, right?" Then it just absolutely slaps like a coked up chimpanzee and you realize, "damn, good on me for having excellent taste when I was younger".
Me and a friend rewatched (it her first viewing but rewatch for me) Young Justice seasons 1-4. I didn't expect it to be this great but it still was incredible. Even seasons 3 and 4. I remember loving season 3 long ago (Briolet consumed my life for a sliver of time and is probably my first hardcore ship) but since then I've heard that people thought season 3 and 4 were terrible and ruined the show. I have to ask those people why they believe this, because both of us thought those seasons were incredible. I completely agree with tweenage me thinking season 3 was peak media because it was and is.
Then I go and rewatch the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy with the same friend and I'm thinking "well I like it due to nostalgia and post-irony". Then after watching I realize, "nah, this is actually good storytelling, I am enjoying this in a way completely removed from nostalgia". Meanwhile my friend as a first time viewer is seeing this and saying, "yeah, I have no idea why people were saying these are bad, these are actually pretty great".
It's just such a jubilant feeling to revisit media from your youth and it is just great, period. I honestly don't care if anyone says that the media I've mentioned is bad. Cringe is a dead concept and I'm going to vibe over in my corner enjoying things.
Anyways, do not feel embarrassed by media you liked as when younger unless you go revisit it and determine that it is actually bad. There is media I like less upon revisit. I no longer find Destiny as great as I did as a teenager, nor do I find Ninjago as peak as I did as kid. But sometimes young-you is not completely wrong. Just a less grown version of yourself so your tastes might be quite similar.
So kudos to little pre-trans me for liking some bomb media.

Anyways, hope you found some sort of entertainment or interest from my list of favorite ships.
Also some statistics for funsies! Of the twenty-eight ships, seventeen are F/F, eight are F/M, two are M/M, one is F/NB, and one is M/NB. For the Shepard/Garrus/Tali ship, I am counting it as both F/F and F/M. So Sapphic ships are 60.7%, Straight ships are 28.5%, Achillian ships are 7.1%, and Non-Binary ships are 7.1%. Of the twenty-eight ships, twenty-five are monogamous while three are polyamorous, so 89.2% monogamous to 10.7% polyamorous. Math is fun!
