Would ships with power imbalances fall under lock/pick ships? Also what if a ship is generally considered healthy and might even be anti-approved but you, the shipper, tend to ship it in a way that makes it a little fucked? (Eg, you headcanon one character as way younger, or you headcanon them as related, or in my preferred way of shipping which is to make one abusive towards the other). Sorry for asking so many questions, I just love the concept of having more expansive vocabulary for various different types of shipping! It can both help others find each other and help people avoid seeing what they’re not comfortable with. This is really great!
I propose scale ship for a ship that you want to signify has a significant power imbalance in some way, but you wouldn’t consider it dubcon/pick ship. Scale of course talking about the balance of the scales being tipped.
How about dimmer ship to signal that you ave made a ship darker than it is normally perceived to be by the fandom. As in using a dimmer on a light switch.
