“Shipping on Tumblr is serious business, so I’m thrilled we’re able to celebrate all of the community’s passions by opening it up to a democratic process with MTV Fandom Awards, said Amandalyn Ferri, Tumblr’s Culture & Trends expert. “Personally, I ship #Karmy (“Faking It”), but we’ll see which couple’s hypothetical love prevails when voting on Tumblr ends and San Diego Comic-Con begins.”
