# Ranking TMA Ships But Instead Of Ranking Actual Ships I Rank Pairings Made By Wheel Decide

(If you want to do this or just want a TMA character wheel spinner then here you go.)

19th and Last Place: Julia Montauk/Jonah Magnus - No.

18th: Human! Helen Richardson/Mary Keay - Any ship with Mary Keay was going to end up at the bottom of the list because …well I mean, it’s Mary Keay. However, I will also note that the last thing Human! Helen would want is to be tangled up in all the fear nonsense, so I don’t think this would work out. Though I do think the concept of Helen becoming Gerry’s Step-Mom could be funny.

17th: Daisy Tonner/Mikaele Salesa - I don’t dislike this ship per say, but that’s mostly because when I try to think about it my brain rejects the concept as if it’s genuinely unfathomable. So…0/10. What is going on?

16th: Trevor Herbert/Adelard Dekker - This would be a disaster but I would watch their first date like it was a messy reality show.

15th: Simon Fairchild/Not-Sasha - I do dislike this as a ship, in fact I hate this as a ship. However, I can’t rank it lower because realistically I think Simon would find novelty in a shape shifter who uses their form to con people about their identity. I still hate it though.

14th: Oliver Banks/Hezekiah Wakely - This is INTERESTING from a narrative standpoint. Hezekiah can’t sleep and Oliver dreads his dreams. Hezekiah finds peace in digging graves and Oliver is an Avatar of The End. Hezekiah uses his letters to Nathaniel to confide in someone about the fears and I’m pretty sure that Oliver is the avatar that gives the most statements about his situation. (Outside of the main cast.) I don’t really like this but it has got me thinking.

13th: Georgie Barker/Nikola Orsinov - I don’t like this as a ship, but it does make me think of a ton of interesting story idea’s right off the bat. Like, what if Georgie was working with Nikola throughout Season 3? What if Nikola took interest in Georgie because her lack of fear made her less likely to notice something strange? I don’t know. This would be a bad ship in canon but thinking about all the story avenues it could create makes me interested in any potential fanfictions.

12th: Gertrude Robinson/Distortion! Helen Richardson - It’s insane that both of Gerard’s Mother figures got spun with a version of Helen, but that’s not the point. I think this could be fun in an AU. The lack of trust Gertrude would have with her VS knowing that having an Avatar so close to her is an advantage. The way Gertrude would more than likely realize that Helen wasn’t friend but the way she also might see that as a good thing that they can’t get too close. The guilt Gertrude would have toward The Distortion for what happened with Michael and the disdain The Distortion would have toward her for what happened with Michael. This could be really complex so I like this from that standpoint.

11th: Jane Prentiss/Rosie Zampano - What the hell. Sure.

10th: Gerard Keay/The Real Elias Bouchard - This ship is a timeline nightmare but I do like the concept of it. Maybe it would work in an AU where Elias takes a job from Gertrude instead of Jonah.

9th: Jude Perry/Sarah Baldwin - They would make each other worse but Jude would be into that.

8th: Season 5 Full Avatar Jonathan Sims/Agnes Montague - This would be devastating but I do kind of want to cry to it. Like, they both want different destines then what they get, but they’re also both prone to answering the door when fate comes knocking. I will say that I do think they would find solace in sharing very similar burdens. However, at the end of the day I think they would make each other sad and subconsciously more complacent to the their fears. Though I do love the sheer angst potential of this and that’s why I’m ranking it highish. I do love a well-written doomed romance and I am seeing the potential for that here.

7th: Peter Lukas/Jurgen Leitner - Okay. Look. I hate how well this works in canon as much as the next guy. I really do, but like…I can see it. This is a once every five year situationship built on mutual loneliness.

6th: Timothy Stoker/Distortion! Michael Shelley - I didn’t think I had any feelings about this but then I remembered that Tim and Michael are both angry assistants who feel betrayed by their boss and are tied to the fears whether they want to be or not. Honestly?? I really like this concept. I want to listen to them have a conversation.

5th: Jared Hopworth/Breekon and Hope - This works in my head. A little too well. Jared “I worked in the mafia, at a gym, and as a florist” Hopworth could 110% find tasks to keep Breekon and Hope entertained.

3rd: - Season 2 Jon/Human Michael Shelley - Naive Michael Shelley who doesn’t know what’s going on teaming up with Season 2 Jon who knows something is going on and rapidly spiraling about it would be a really neat plotline. And if they kiss a few times then who’s to stop them??

2ed: Annabelle Cane/Basira Hussain - This ship would make them both worse but they would have the entire plot of TMA wrapped up in five minutes. Absolute power couple who uses their combined wits to achieve their goals.

1st: Melanie King/Sasha James - This is just a genuinely good ship. Despite only meeting once Melanie liked Sasha enough to remember her and their talk about haunted pubs. If for some reason someone said to me “Pick and ship for Melanie that’s not with Georgie,” then I would go with Sasha. So I love this one. 10/10.
