Anybody for Contestshipping?

Do you take Blushing as a hint?

Fact A: It is physically impossible to control a blush once it has started, been proven repeatedly by scientists

Fact B: The ONLY emotion that can cause a blush is embarrassment. This emotion can be triggered by a wide variety of stimuli, ranging from the more personal, like being close to or in contact with someone you like/love, or something simple, like being called on in math class for a calculus problem that is solved midway and the teacher asks you to finish it and you simply don't know where to start 'cause you weren't paying attention (happened to several of my friends).

Fact C: Some people do not have the gene that encodes for auto-blushing (like me!).

My answer is therefore, No, blushing can't be taken as a hint due to its wide variety of causes.

I love your entire anaylsis on everything, Xcaliber. It's great to have others with more than one point of view, thanks for dropping in here. (:

Do you take Blushing as a hint?

Well...yes and no. A blush doesn't automatically deserve an: OMG THAT'S SOOO CUTE <3!!!11 because like the math example, it could be embarrasment along with frustration. It all depends on the situation. If you have someone blushing around a certain person quite often, it's usually a sign of some sort of affection.

Like what Xcaliber said, many things cause blushing, so you can't have any concrete proof.

Although, I would like to say that in Pokemon, not many people go around blushing near each others. It's not hard for shippers (or just me?) to start taking things out of proportion. With such little and rare romantic hints in the show, you have to nit-pick and make your own conclusions.

I suppose I'll answer my own question as well.

If May and Drew had to choose another career aside from coordinating, what do you think it would be?

I've always thought for Drew to have a vet or doctor profession of some sort, which honestly, I have no reasoning for. XD

May is outgoing and based on her interests, I think that she would do something like fashion-designing or maybe an idol...Would an MC go along with coordinating? I could see her doing that. (:

Ok I am here to confess that while I think shipping in general is (dont kill me) often stupid, I really like ContestShipping and think its adorable :P

I stopped watching random episodes of the anime somewhere in early Hoenn, and thought the Drew x May interactions were cute. (And Drew has a Flygon.. which is amazing.) A longggg time ago I spontaneously clicked on Treehouse Saga and it confirmed my liking for the ship. So now, every couple of months Ill go through and read some fanfics! ..... It has been a couple of months.

Thus (!) my question, what are you favorite fics (here or on another site) and do you have any suggestions/recommendations for my spree?

Hi, I'm Espeon 114x and I'd like to join. I'm a huge Contestshipper.

Do you take Blushing as a hint?

Hmm, this is a good question.
It depends on the situation and why the person is blushing for it to count to me as a hint.
Like, the person could be blushing because they're embarrassed.
So, it all depends on the situation to me.

If May and Drew had to choose another career aside from coordinating, what do you think it would be?

I totally could picture May becoming PokeStylist. She has excellent taste in fashion and she's make a good one too.
For Drew, I think I could picture him becoming a Breeder, in case coordinating doesn't work out. I've always seen him that way since he was first introduced to the show.

[Midnight Sun]

Having new people here is always awesome. Welcome to the both of you. (:

We had a similar question just a page or two back, Shining Mew. I think that if you liked Treehouse Saga (which is wonderful!) then you would probably like the other fics Encyclopika has written. If you haven't read them or know the titles, those are Contest Tie (still on-going, but nearing the end) and Demons of Metropolis. She also has some oneshots on the shipping fics board. I really like her writing. (:

And, even though it's been awhile since I've read it, I really liked 'Love Beats Everything' which is on Fanfiction.net, although I forget the author's name.

I hope that helps you to find more good stories. :D

Hi there, Im a huge Contestshipper and a Pearlshipper.

Do you take Blushing as a hint?

I think blushing counts as a hint. It entirely depends on the situation to which the person is blushing.

If May and Drew had to choose another career aside from coordinating, what do you think it would be

I think May could be a pokemon stylist or a noodle chef XD since she loves noodles.

For Drew, I think he can become a really good breeder since ive always seen him that way.

Do you take Blushing as a hint?
To be honest, No I don't really take blushing as a hint. It indicates embarrassment.

Can't think so i will skip this question.

Hi, Contestshipping is one of my most favorite shippings.
Can I join?

Do you take Blushing as a hint?

Well..it depends on the situation.
If it's dealing with one's attraction towards another, then yes; it could be taken as a hint.
Like for example, if a girl asks a boy "Do you think this dress looks pretty on me?"
and the boy blushes and is left speechless (because he really does think she is pretty in the dress), then yes.
That could be taken as a hint.
Blushing can only be taken as a hint if it's dealing with love, crushes, and/or one's attraction towards another.

*waves her hands frantically in the air*
OHHH!!! I KNOW WHAT DREW COULD BE!!!
Drew could be a florist xD
That job would be absolutely perfect for him.
And May...I don't really know what May would be, something that matches her outgoing personality.
maybe a PokeStylist, or a singer, or a celebrity, I don't really know..
maybe she could work as a florist with/for Drew? xD
