In recent years, several prevalent ship dynamics have become embedded within fandom culture. Discussions of ship dynamics have long been dominant on a different social media platform, Tumblr. In many ways, this particular meme seemed to explode overnight from Twitter’s fandom Id - that is, it appeared to come out of nowhere and spread across fandom communities on the platform in just under two days, between April 16 and 17.īut its rise isn’t that simple.
The “ship dynamics” meme percolated as an idea for a few years before it suddenly went viral The conversation around it on Twitter has involved not only a wide array of cute art, but a veritably infinite supply of ship variants, as well as lots and lots of discussion about the practice of shipping itself, and why we like the things we like.īut before we break that down, let’s take a look at how the “ship dynamics” meme evolved over time - and then burst into virality overnight. One of the best things about this meme is how, well, dynamic it is.
I love every ship dynamic that I’ve been seeing but I also really love this one /Rjd15mr1ju- Deb Anime Conji April 17, 2019 For example, here’s a popular example of a general ship dynamic that lots of fans can evidently relate to: The use of generic cartoon images emphasizes that the ship dynamics under discussions involve character tropes that can apply to many characters and appeal to many fans. The key to this meme is that it doesn’t actually involve a discussion of specific ships. “Han/Leia is my favorite ship”), and a verb to describe the act of “shipping” that pairing, or rooting for them to get together and live happily ever after (e.g. The merged operation will continue to develop the Cavorite X5 aircraft in addition to Astro Aerospace’s Elroy and Alta models.If you’ve spent any time on Twitter this week, you may have noticed an outpouring of fandom art as part of the viral “ship dynamics” meme - in which people, mostly fanartists, are sharing their love of their favorite kinds of relationships through stick figures.įor anyone unfamiliar with the concept of a “ship,” it’s a very popular term within fandom, a shortened form of the word “relationship” that’s used both as a noun to describe a romantic pairing you love (e.g. In June 2021, Astro Aerospace completed its acquisition of the Cavorite X5’s manufacturer Horizon Aircraft. In addition to further development of the X5, the company also plans to advance development of its smaller autonomous Elroy model and the Alta logistics platform. In February of 2021, Astro Aerospace announced their acquisition of Horizon Aircraft, and intends to build upon the existing Cavorite X5 prototype, which the company promises to finish shortly, although there is no clear timeline on when the company hopes to achieve commercial certification. The larger hybrid-electric engine and wings allow the aircraft to be landed conventionally if there is insufficient battery power to land vertically. This design accommodates one pilot and four passengers, with a typical cruise speed of 215 mph and a range of approximately 310 miles. As a result, during cruise, this X5 flies more like a plane than it does a multicopter. The aircraft uses two primary means of propulsion: 16 duct-in-wing motors that allow the aircraft to move vertically, and a more powerful hybrid-electric motor to produce more powerful horizontal thrust. The Cavorite X5 is an eVTOL designed by Horizon Aircraft which takes its aim to operate for applications including disaster relief, emergency medical, cargo transport, and air taxi services.
