An Attention shipper is a person in a fandom who doesn't personally ship two characters, but makes fanart or stories about them for recognition or because the ship is popular within the Fandom. Attention shipping might be used in commissions or in general art they make. Attention shipping could also be used in pieces that ship two characters in a satire way. However, Attention shipping does not apply for proships or conships, as those are their own thing. The emoji combo for attention shippers is currently 👀❤️
Person 1: Hey I saw your drawing today, do you really ship it?
Person 2: It's an Attention ship, it means that I don't ship it myself, but I still give myself the freedom to make media of it.

Get the box ship mug.A futile, superficial effort to improve or beautify something that’s fundamentally broken, decayed, or doomed to fail. It highlights how a tiny cosmetic fix (the “small polish”) does nothing to address deep-rooted problems (the “rust” eating away at the entire structure).
Example 1: “The company’s new diversity training video was just a small polish on a rusty ship—everyone could see the toxic culture and massive layoffs coming, but hey, at least the promo looked shiny for a day.”
Example 2: “Fixing the website’s font while the server crashes every hour? That’s a small polish on a rusty ship, mate, no one’s fooled.”
