This one is going to be a little bit of a long one, seeing as I am a shipper at heart. Well, moreso the quadrant guy, but I have to admit I love putting them to use. When it comes to pairings, I just can't help loving a lot of them. My personal favorites tend to vary a bit, some being in multiple quadrants rather than just one, so bare with me as I explain them here.
One of my favorites for years now is definitely flushed Halcal. I think the way they've interacted that one time has people believing they'd lean more pitch, but honestly, if they got more interactions I could see that changing. Lil Hal and Caliborn are both seen as lesser than their respective counterparts, (Dirk and Calliope,) and I could see that being a pity thing between the two of them. Humans and cherubs aren't wired to feel troll romance, but I believe they definitely can. That and they are two characters desperate for their own autonomy and end up in Lord English, even after everything.
Another good one is pitch Dirkuu. Their interactions alone kind of cement it for me, but God, who can't get behind them? I've flip-flopped on my opinion of it a few times over the years, but at this point I've accepted it'd be pretty damn great. They'd probably be a little less productive than some kismesissitudes, but they clearly have some sort of respect for one another, even if it's played off as "ironic," or, on Caliborn's end, just wanting him to die a little less.
I'm also super into shipping characters with themselves, so pitch Karkat/Karkat and pitch Dirk/any splinter that isn't Bro or Ult Dirk is a favorite for me.
Pale Fefkan is good, just reread an interaction of theirs and it becomes fairly self explanatory. Love them lots.
In terms of moirails, I find myself really enjoying Erikar, Dirkjane and Haljane, pale/flushed Solrezi, stuff like that.
I love a good trans gal Eridan and Kanaya pitch too. Flushed/pitch Solkat is also great. Flushed Johnkat is always a classic. As I mentioned elsewhere, I like pitch Johnrezi too. Pitch Kanrezi.
(I like the June Egbert interpretation and would love to hear y'all using that here if that's your preference, I mostly just use John! We love all Egberts here.)
