![[0166] Shipwreck](http://www.sandraandwoo.com/comics/2010-05-20-[0166]-shipwreck.png "[0166] Shipwreck")
The current story arc started with this strip: The Quesion of All Questions.
I was searching for “Cloud x Tifa” or “Cloud x Aeris” fanfiction to come up with authentic source material for my parody that somewhat fits the situation. I prepared myself for a longer investigation… There were 29,746 Final Fantasy VII fanfics on Fanfiction.net. Twenty-nine thousand seven hundred fourty-six! The VERY FIRST fanfic I clicked on had Ye Thuza’s lines in it! Just exchange “Sandra” with “Tifa”.
Yuna sings the same song as Hobbes in a Calvin and Hobbes Sunday strip in which Calvin got a valentine’s day card from Susie (which is really for Hobbes).
I had several ideas for what Cloud could say in the last panel, my second most favorite line was: “I wish they hadn’t maxed out their ‘Greater Humiliation’ skill…”
If you are not familiar with the term “shipper” here is the definition of it at Urban Dictionary:
Shipper
The term “shipper” comes from supporting a ship. To ship something means a person wants two characters to get together and/or shows support for two characters already together. The term “ship” came from the X-Files fandom, when fanfics were written about Mulder and Scully. The fans then called themselves shippers. It quickly spread and is now the title a person gives themself if they believe two charcters should or will be together (The characters can be from anything: Books, Movies, Television, Video Games, and even Actors/Actresses). It is not limited to the couple actually happening, a person can ship something just because they enjoy the possibility of them getting together or even just because they think they would look good together.
I am a Harry/Hermione shipper in the Harry Potter fandom.
- Cloud: Bye!
- Yuna: Cloud and Sandra,
Watching a moo-viee!
Kay-Eye-Ess-Ess-
Eye-En-Gee!
First comes lo-ove,
Then comes marriage,
Then comes a baby
In a baby carriage!- Cloud: YUNA!
- Ye Thuza: “A warm hand pressed itself against Cloud’s cheek, and those soft, pink lips got ever closer to his own. ‘Sandra,’ Cloud breathed. Only millimeters separated them now…”
- Cloud: MOM!!
- Cloud: These Cloud x Sandra shippers can get really annoying…

-toothpick drops from his open mouth- I’m just concerned about what would have happened afterwards if Ye Thuza had been allowed to continue…Especially seeing how her lines were taken from a fanfiction. Nice bit of breaking the fourth wall, however. This shipper approves as well, though I did like a bit of ClouRisa on the side.

You know, don’t you think a mother would respond a bit more mature? I mean, she’s married herself, why would she be all like that about her son falling in love?
Jeez, I do sound like a winer do I? Don’t mind me too much Novil, you’re awesome.

As a hopeless shipper (in many different series), awesome ^_^ Cloud is so cute.
I’m used to the shipper method of combining the two names together, so it would be something like “Cloudra shipper”, though sometimes you abbrivate the names to letters (Such as with x-files, I’m a m/s shipper). I’ve never seen an x used before.
In a simple definition: a shipper is a fan who favours a specific relationship between characters.

They really need to rethink this, those two teasers – if they keep Cloud from kissing Sandra, he’ll want to spent much less time with them and at the house and his frustration with them might grow more permanent if their responses to his kiss attempts with Sandra don’t got from ‘Loud and noisy’ to ‘Quiet and scarce”

Oh boy. . . don’t even start! I have heard of arguments breaking out over that(well not with cloud and sandra being the characters, but you know what I mean)!
+1 I wasn’t really expecting that type of comment(and here I thought knowledge of such terminology[is that the right word to refer to this, or would jargon be better?] was obscure[reason being some of my anime/manga friends didn't catch it when I posted a manga page where characters stated preferences and that was one example that came up, my friend[and the other characters in on the page] were so lost while I was laughing at their lostness!)

KERSHPONG… Cloud unlishes Omnislash for massave damage!
On a less retarded note, as a recovering fanficaholic I’m surprised there isn’t a Sandra and Woo archive hidden somewhere on the interwebs.
Might be worth looking for (or not, with the state of most fanfiction.)

This still could go on in a comical direction – with Sandra enlisting Larisa and plotting revenge – as well as a serious (but still rating-friendly) one. I’m not sure which of the two to hope for.

I think there are 4 reasons that she is acting this way:
1) Bonding with her daughter,
2) Having to take responsibility at an early age means that she’s trying to make up for that time by being silly and girlish now,
3) Making Cloud realise where his heart is (if he’s willing to put up with the teasing then it is true love), and
4) Reminding Cloud that he should always be on his guard for a sneak attack.

The song Yuna sings was already explained by Brutannica:
I think I’ve seen it or something very similar in “My Girl”, which plays about 1972. Come to think of it, Vada and her next-door boyfriend were also 11.
I also think Mater sings it in “Cars”… well, he’s Mater…

It’s fascinating to watch this dynamic, actually. Families are often so different in how they handle these sorts of things; teasing at this level never occurred when I was the child in love, nor when I was the parent.
In the former case, my mother always waited until the love interest of the moment was out of the house and then commented on how caring I was being with everyone’s feelings; her approval of how I handled things meant a lot to me. I think she was even weirder than Cloud’s mom in that regard.

I always thought that the term “shippers” was called that because they pushed (in discussions, fanfics, fanvids, or whatever) a romantic (or sexual) relationship between two characters whether the characters would go that way or not.

Yes, Cloud, some shippers are annoying. I’m torn, half of me want to sympathies with Cloud, but the other half wants to join in the teasing. His hair in the third panel is priceless

there are no proper words to describe how much i love reading this webcomic <3
She’s a quite immature ninja.
She’s six or seven, so she does not have a boyfriend of course. (I really hope the creepyness of your comment was not intentional…)
That remains to be seen. That said, I don’t think that Cloud is *that* geeky.

With all the shipping that’s going on here, you might have to open a Customs brokerage…

I’m sensing a stab at some of us readers here… Or maybe it’s just anime fans. Have you seen some of the shippers out there? It’s the yaoi shippers that really scare me, many of whom define Rule 34.
As for why Ye Thuza is acting so immature… Well Ye Thuza is Ye Thuza. I get the feeling that there are few if any who are like her. She’s fast catching up with Larisa as “Queen of Quirky”.
