Top-quality Romance

atsushi at some point gets a jar/piggie bank that he fills with spare change all the time and it's to save up to buy something he wants but has no need for - since he doesn't want to just buy it since he has other important things to use his money for ya know

what atsushi doesn't know - because it's not a clear material so he can't see what's on the inside - is that he is not the only one filling it

kyouka makes sure he's out the room before adding her spare change to it

dazai comes over for breakfast and goes to the bathroom (he sneaks into atsushi's room and adds change... is it his own change? um... anyway)

kunikida gives some of his extra change to kyouka to add

when the tanizakis and haruno r over to hang out, they add some change in it too

yosano and ranpo give kyouka their spare change to add too

hell even fukuzawa has set aside some spare change to add to atsushi's jar

and what atsushi doesn't know is that one time kyouka was home alone and she heard a sound from the bedroom so she grabbed the closest knife and summoned demon snow and went to investigate only to find akutagawa pouring money into atsushi's jar

they stared at each other and then kyouka nodded and left

We have soft lesbians. Distinguished lesbians. Lesbians who wield the blade. And now this AU has even more disaster lesbians.

Another fem vanoé cus i love them

‘that ship doesn’t even make sense they never even interacted in canon!’ have you considered that i ship characters based on their dynamics and the potential they could have had if they did interact

i love how in the kaizenix arc yoo joonghyuk sees a guy accidentally, willingly walk into his own execution and thinks ‘this MUST be kim dokja’ cause no one else is that stupid and unlucky.

while he also sees someone torturing him with lowkey lust in her eyes and thinks ‘this MUST be han sooyoung’ cause...no one else gets off on his pain quite like her I guess?

Tim Drake is the type of androgynous where if I were to see a picture of him in real life, and somebody told me he was trans, I would have no idea if he was trans masc, or trans fem. And I respect that deeply.

#I guess it depends on whether he's feeling more Alvin or Caroline.

"I care about the royal family equally, Sofia and non-Sofia alike."

Tim: I can’t tell dick?? I don’t want him to think I’m crazy or not trustworthy bc I’m doing something reckless??!

Jason who saw Dick make out with a mark to steal something from his pocket when Dick was 17:…

Bruce who saw Dick jump off a moving plane and hum the song “I need a hero” instead of calling for Superman:

Wally who say Dick go fuck it and infiltrate a sex trafficking ring as a stripper bc someone said he was too pretty to work for the mob:

Roy who has smacked dick out of delusions 15 times too many:

Clark who saw dick stay in a radioactive city for vibes:

Diana who has heard Donna’s concerned ramblings since she was like 12:

Damian who saw that Dick turned the bat ears into projectiles that can electrocute you:

Steph who saw the same thing:

Tim who refuses to believe Dick Grayson can do anything that isn’t brilliant, premeditated and completely the best option: I CANT HE’ll be so disappointed:(

Why do you even ship them?

In the past couple of months I’ve seen a lot of people genuinely confused about one or the other ship existing, so I wanted to explain some common reasons characters might get shipped.

But before we get into it: The point is usually just good, plain old fun! The entertainment of them being together !

And for entertainment and fun, it doesn’t matter whether they’ve even been in the same room or not! Hell, it doesn’t even matter if they’ve been in the same universe or not! Basically: It’s all not that serious and the ppl harassing creators/actors/fans about said ships are usually the minority and frowned upon!

First of all, there are different ways in which people enjoy that ship:

In canon, aka it either is canon or they want it to be canon

Half canon, this means either post canon or if a very specific thing would have happened differently within canon

Canon divergent, aka it’s only enjoyable in theory or alternative universes and they don’t actually want it to happen within canon

In other words, there are different ways in which people support this type of relationship

It is the perfect relationship and everyone should strive to find and be this kind of love

While they have their flaws, this is a realistic way a healthy(ish) relationship can come out on the other end of all the horrors tm

This is (somewhat) toxic but in the universe/story line it makes sense and is the best possible outcome for them

This is the truly worst thing that could come out of it for the both of them but that’s why it is so interesting

Usually it boils down to these emotions:

It would be funny if they go together.

It would shift the impact of all that angst and trauma

It would be super cute. Plain old romcom vibes. Specially if the of story is not that at all and you just want something good for them.

Some basic reasons, that are more about the concept of them than actually them: :

They are fan favourites

They are both hot

Everyone else in the group is coupled up

They fit a certain stereotype/common trope

They resemble another popular ship juuuuust enough

The actors have played a couple/ship in another show

Spite! To annoy the author/other fans

Some personal reasons of the individual fan:

Reminds fan of their own crush

Fan relates to some aspects of their story

Fan relates to some aspects of the characteristics

Character looks like them/ like their crush

Based on the characters/stories design

They claim to hate/dislike/annoy each other but are somehow always found in each others business (willingly or not)

Opposites attract: They have opposing color schemes, personalities and/or views. The more differences the better.

Parallels: They have the same color schemes, personalities and/or views. The more similarities the better.

Based on their relations

You just want something good for this character and they (other character(s)) ARE that something good.

You just want something annoying for this character and they (other character(s)) ARE that something annoying.

Them being together would annoy this other character to noooo end

Even tho they don’t interact on screen (often), there is evidence that they did so off screen: they keep up a certain level of relationship (good or bad) despite everything else going on

Purely about the characters

They don’t pay attention to anything or anyone else nearly as much as they do about each other, especially ppl they should objectively care more about.

They’re the only ones who survived/left to deal with the aftermath. Even if they didn’t talk much prior to this, this is something to bond over. To keep the memory alive.

The expectations set on them are/were the same. And despite the different support systems and coping mechanisms… the other is truly the only one who could even find a glimpse of understanding of what they’re going through.

Yin and yang: a perfect mixture of parallels and opposites: They’ve gone through the same thing but deal with it widely differently. OR They come from widely different backgrounds and reasoning but end up at the same conclusion.

BECAUSE they’re so codependent they just wouldn’t make sense with anyone else, regardless of wether they themselves make sense

BECAUSE it is unhealthy and toxic and it’s interesting to explore such a relationship

BECAUSE if they’d be in literally any other genre/time they’d be fine. Nothing this bad would’ve ever happened if they’d just lived in another universe.

Why not ? It’s fiction.

These are all the reasons I can come up with at the top of my head but feel free to add!

Alas I want to encourage everyone to be open minded! Either to genuinely try to understand why a ship exists or, if you don’t want to waste your time on sth. you’re sure you don’t like, just filter and block the ship and their fans!

None of us can afford to waste our very limited free time on arguing with and harassing others about something FICTIONAL …that we don’t even like. Instead, please focus on making and/or supporting art about YOUR ship! This is not only much nicer to the fans you don’t support but also to yourself! Positive interactions will result in more positive interactions after all! Mostly.

I do not know if anyone knows the YouTuber DannyMotta, but he does reactionary videos to various anime shows and movies (along with other things, but anime makes up a majority of his work). He has finally started watched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and is going into it completely blind.

He said he hadn't expected much from Fuehrer King Bradley. I await the day he completely eats his words.

Sofia: Mr. Cedric, why does your bucket list have ‘Die’ on it?

Cedric: So I can die feeling at least a little bit accomplished.
