Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.

(doesn't have to be a ship I actually ship!)

Donna/Josh :)

Ha, ok! I'm in the middle of watching the show, obviously, so my feelings may change :P

One of the few things I knew about The West Wing before starting on it, was that Josh/Donna was quite a popular ship. (I still, btw, don't know if/how/when they ever get together so NO SPOILING8). But I don't think that knowledge factored into how I see them, because they were just meant to be shipped.

Josh was one of my favourites from the beginning, but along the way it has become clear that the guy needs to be taken down sometimes, which is what most of his love interests are good at. But I think his relationship with Donna is about more than that, because she realises how vulnerable he really is. And he respects her, even if she is naive sometimes.

I can actually pinpoint when I truly started shipping it: first, there was the amazing scene in the first ep of S2 when Donna arrives at the hospital and finds out Josh was shot? She just falls apart, and it shows how much they mean to each other. That was when I started LOVING Donna and their relationship. And then many episodes later there is this dialogue where he says he wouldn't stop for a drink if she was in hospital (like her ex did), and she says she wouldn't stop for a red light if he was in hospital. That's when I started shipping it.

But most of all, I can't resist a bantering couple! I just can't. Their scenes together are my favourites, and shipping them is mostly about wanting as many scenes as possible between the two of them. I don't really care if they ever truly get together on the show, because it really isn't a show about that kind of plot. As long as they keep bantering. It hits my kink for screwball comedy-dialogue :).

i don't think your feelings on Josh/Donna will change :)

Josh is an always will be my favourite TWW character, not just because i adore Bradley Whitford :D Josh just has this way about him! and he meshes so well with Donna.
