Call me Nepeta the way I love a good ship. #frig8friday
Fished up a princess with this one! What's your faaaaaaaavorite kind of ship, Feferi? You seem like a schooner or a sloop kind of girl.
D-->This was a good joke. As someone who knows Nepeta, and is aware that ship as a word can be used in a transient sense to refer to two or more entities in a relationship often but not always fictional. By calling yourself Nepeta you are referencing the connection between her and shipping, the hobby based "ship" which uses the aforementioned meaning of the word while using it to instead refer to actual seafaring vehicles. I give it a solid chortle and will be hashtag rechitting.
