Trying to be introspective and somehow talking to myself answering the first questions of the shipping meme...(a lot of bad ortography and grammar etc since it's late at night and my brain is working in spanish....)
BEWARE, some content I talk about might be awful or problematic... So don't read if you are bothered with mentions of death, suicicide, noncon, etc...I'm not explicit but I mention it in some of the questions or ships I'm talking about.....
THAT BEING SAID, Proceed to read.
1. 3 Shipping tropes I love:
The one sided trope: This is the general trope, but there are many flavors of one sided I enjoy, the yandere one sided; “si no es mío no es de nadie”, the Tomoyo Daidouji one sided(so painful); “si lo amas dejalo ir”, the crush who will never be, etc. One sided love is tasty for me because it involves different types of angst or problematic situations that I really love, and also it kinda hits home sometimes….
The “special bond” trope, my fave example is ERURI ofc (the ackerbond). I love the idea of having something in you awaken when you find the right person (don’t mix with soulmates please, this ain’t it), or a more ‘silly’ example would be the ‘ZING’ on Hotel Transylvania, a special event that happens only once with the right person. In the case of ackerbond, it might be a “servant-master” kind of trope, since the ackermans are bound to a ‘master’ who they HAVE to protect or something like that. But IDK, I love master/servant BUT with the ‘bond’ to spice it up, are they bound together by choice or because their (blood?) instincts bind them? A something that makes you permanently attached until death does you appart, that kinda special bond makes my heart skip.
The unaware trope. In this case, “unaware top and thirsty horny bottom”, which I love to apply to gaikaka, IDK if this one is a subproduct of onesided, IT MIGHT BE, idk, since B is full into A but A is painfully oblivious. OR ALSO BOTH ARE OBLIVIOUS BUT HAVE EXCELLENT CHEMISTRY. and nobody says anything... I think of Shin and No1 even tho I havent finished reading the mango. ITS OBVIOUS they have something but it not stablished... they just are, but thats as far as i've gotten into the series, idk if thet end uo together officially or something.... SO ignore if this is ooc...
Tw(incest)/Selfcest. Yeah, nothing else to say.
2. 3 shipping tropes I don’t love:
Married/Fluff: I think the older I get, the more I hate the trope… not the “they look like and old married couple” but the “uwu they are married and are husbands and live fluffily ever after”...Idk, maybe it’s my experience with fndm that has made me hate that one...it started with me hating “they are boyfriends uwu” and it just evolved into “they are husbands uwu” I hate it. hahaha idk. The older I get, the less I want fluff...EVEN THO sometimes SOME ships are able to have fluff when I’m in the mood. I’m a hypocrite :)
Birds of a feather(?) (Or similar characters who happen to hate eachother even tho they are similar): I can’t ship two characters that are similar, I crave constrast in a lot of ways, physical (don’t put twincest in this one, twincest is sacred) and personality wise. It’s okay if they share some trait, but to have two characters that are essentially the same but different...I can’t digest it. Examples of this are Hijikata and Gintoki and Hozuki and Hakutaku. I just can’t.
Highschool Au. Anything that has school life involved between students. I think I’m too old for that now, maybe when I was 17 it was cool...guess it ain’t for me anymore. Do not mix with teacher-student. One thing is having school as a setting or element that links certain characters, but to concentrate on A’s lack of sleep the night before a test bc they were thinking of B….idk, it bores me to death now, it might sound superficial of hypocrite but idk how to explain it. ALSO, I think part of what I don’t like of those AUs is that most of what can be found is based on “American” highschool life, so CAN’T RELATE.
3.one physical aspect that always gets me:
Height difference ú.u, or one(or both) in the ship is disabled... (blind or has their limbs amputated...)
4.One emotional aspect of a ship that always gets me:
When A is B’s everything without B actually noticing the way they feel and A being oblivious of B’s feelings even tho it’s obvious. So they are both oblivious...AND THEY A dies and B suffers without knowing why (bonus if they never know why they are suffering) but if B realizes their feels after A’s death is alright. EXTRA BONUS if B becomes suicidal/ends dying from the pain. ……..(this is suspiciously specific…)
5.Multiship or monoship
multishipper, I like many ships even tho I always end up revisiting all the old ships I have at some point….or discover new ones while revisiting the consumed material…(example, I was a hardcore ginzura, but ended up being a hardcore ginmada.) What I can’t do is ship an OTP with other characters...but I’ll talk about that in the monogamy polyamory question.
6.rarepairs or mainstream
I think I have mostly rarepairs but have a few mainstream ones! My rarepairs involve mostly movies or material that only I end up watching (or pairs that are looked down bc one of the characters isn’t a bishie or sexy)...example is The Hitcher movie and GinMada.....now that’s rarepairs and non existent fndm. But also I have mainstream ships like KlauSte (it’s popular at least in pxv) and Eruri. I’m doomed in both because rarepairs have zero content and the popular ships have so much but most of the content is not my kinda flavor...so I suffer because I have to make my own content, AND avoid interacting with fndm tbh….
7.polyamory or monogamy
Monogamy all the way. One I form a ship it can’t be dissolved. UNLESS I revisit and I see potential in other combination. Example, NEVER EVER ship Kakashi with someone that is not Gai, same with Erwin and Levi, etc etc. I love the “UNTIL DEATH DOES US APART”. I think that monogamy with strong feelings irl is hard to find/see, so in fiction it feels special to have two charas feeling strongly to each other (NOT NECESSARILY ROMANTIC) that when one dies, the other’s world isn’t the same. Call me a hypocrite when I say I love when people irl are happily in love in a “Gomez Morticia” kinda way but don’t wanna see uwu husbands in fiction….elmao. Well actually I love Gomez Morticia kinda ships, maybe because the characters are originally like that...but to have characters that aren’t like that in canon...idk I don’t like it. CALL ME A BOOMER, it’s cool to not follow canon bc that’s why we all ship stuff, but I like to form ships according to their canon interactions….so I can live with my eruri never confessing or fucking, even tho I can enjoy that when it’s well done...
BUT GETTING BACK TO THE MAIN POINT. Monogamy all the way, I’m a romantic (???).
8.if the ship is physical, reversible or not?
Mmmmmm I rather not BUT if it fits their characters I can live with it. There are some exceptions to this, like mobrei, mobrei can’t switch, but eruri...I’m still having an internal fight to who tops and bottoms and I’m not talking sexually. I’m very picky on my dynamics. A good reversal for me is AkaWashi: young Akagi topping old Washizu and WashiAka: young Washizu topping old Akagi, I’m very into power dynamics and age mixed in this one. In resume, my ship can be reversible if met with VERY specific conditions. But I rather not.
9.do u always have romantic ships in fandom?
I don’t like the idea of romance as being “lovey dovey”.....when people talk about ships they mostly always refer to A and B love each other and are boyfriends uwu or husbands uwu. Sadly it’s easier to say yeah they romancing than explain your specific taste of the ship.
10.how important is the sexual part (if any) of your ship?
It depends, some ships I love them to be horny, some I want them to never cross that line. If sex is involved, most of my shipping tastes involve brainwashing or hatefucking, noncon, or the pairing fucking like animals in heat, or one horny to oblivion and the other knows nothing/doesn’t notice. I don’t like to mix much feelings into the sex nowadays…..unless is a very old ship like narusasu….Idk, specific rules for specific pairings. Some can fuck some can’t, it depends on the flavor of the ship.
11.opinion on platonic ships?
excellent ships.
12.3 ships you currently love
ERURI (One dead, the other alive, awaiting for Levi to DIE PLEASE) I have already talked a lot about eruri in this questionnaire..but yeah….eruri would become an ultimate perfect ship if Levi dies. The ideal ship dynamic is both dead. I love to think about Levi’s pain of losing Erwin, but he eventually losing strength because of the pain until he can’t anymore. BUT WE’LL SEE how this is handled in the end of the series...since Levi hasn’t fulfilled the promise he made to Erwin and he almost dies ghhh I want to see if Levi dies with regret of if he lives kasd idk the hamster starts running in the wheel and the butterflies flutter in my stomach whenever I think of what will happen to Levi and his promise to Erwin…..
GAIKAKA (Rivals. Imagine being a little nobody and a bother to the eyes of EVERYONE but self proclaiming that the most popular kid is your direct rival until he gives up (bothered) to your whims and you end up being their best friend/rival and you change his coldbloodness to something warmer….NO ROMO.) GaiKaka is perfect in everyway, it has a lot of tropes that I loved when I was a fresh 14 year old fujoshi. Growing up together (rivals to friends(?) since I don’t wanna call it enemies to friends to lovers), being silly together, having the personality contrast of a lazy op bitch and overhyped somewhat cringe adult. And then Kakashi gets emotional over Gai in that one episode in which Kaka is to become hokage and Gai feels like it’s the end of their silly rivalry days and kaka just went ‘bro i need u by my side, this isn’t the end’ and Gai is like CRYING. Okay at this point I’m talking to myself and just throwing random facts and thoughts into this, but I love to think from that interaction that kakashi is into gai and gai is oblivious. yeah…
HARRY X BRANDON (gungrave) This has to be one of my most recent ships that I have become to love so much but haven’t produced too much content. I adore it to my core since it involves my most ideal ending, both parties dying by eachother’s hand. Growing up together, getting into shit together, Brandon always choosing Harry over anyone/anything else, Harry KILLING Brandon but then regreting (?) it in a sort of way and then they reunite at old age...have their final confrontation and Brandon always choosing to protect(?) Harry...and then “let’s go home”, they kill each other…. it gets me in all the right ways, it’s the ultimate ship.
EXTRA: Yashiro x Satoru (Bokumachi) THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ULTIMATE SHIP IF BOTH DIED. This ship had everything to become perfect 100/100 ship but the ending was meh. The good always win….BUT that doesn’t mean the ship doesn’t make me go crazy. I love it. A serial killer of kids who works on a school and then he finds the ONE who fills “the hole in his heart” only to find this out after he puts him in a 15 year comma and he visits him and even SHAVES HIM, DUDE, SERIOUSLY, THIS HAS EVERYTHING. I will forever go for the anime of this series because of how the ending was handled, they went overboard with the yaoi there, on the roof, killing the one you’ve been obsessed with and that makes you feel something AND THEN TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF AFTER. By jumping from the roof after him….HOLY SHIT, but then *smoking pepe*...................sigh, but well, that’s why fanart and fanfics exist!
13.5 OTPS from past fandoms
SASUNARU: the origin of all evil, my fujoshi awakening, what else can i say? i discovered yaoi thanks to it. i even printed whole doujinshis i found on old forums...I kinda miss those times, the first mprg and oc babies ever, all the tropes, read som many fanfics based on other animes but change the charas for sasunaru, etc,etc….now after years I discovered I’m more into NaruSasu.
ORIGIN SHIPPING: one of my most antique ships, some of the first yaois I made and that I was obsessed with that I even made mprg….14 year old me.
BLACKJACK X KIRIKO: one of my top otps ever. ENEMIES ALL THE WAY but throw the sexy tension and hate. Not a rare dynamic but the contrast of the character ‘ideologies’ gets me everytime...ALSO AYAMI KOJIMA SHIP(PED) THEM AND MADE DOUJINS, those doujinshi are my BlackjackKiriko bibles.
HOUSE X WILSON: Another ‘first’ I think they were my first real people ship….I watched house not for the medical cases and shit, I watched it for HILSON. I didn’t produce or consumed that much content of them back then but it’s one of my most faves still….Also the ship includes Wilson dying! Adoro los finales felices!
LINK X LINEBECK: THIS ONE HIT ME SO HARD AFTER READING A DAMN FANFIC ON DEVIANTART THAT I SAVED MONEY TO GET ME A DS AND THE GAME! I was so obsessed with this ship…..OFC Link was to be the top and the old man the bottom, I remember that one ship fondly because of the level of obsession I had at the time….
14.Opinion on importance of marriage?
no marriage please. no stablished. I want limbo relationships, they are SOMETHING but not quite….
15.Opinion on oc kids?
I have a degree on mpreg. GIVE THEM ALL THE OC KIDS. This exists separatedly. “Non canon” in my shipping vision….LET’S SAY, I ship gaikaka! AND SOMETIMES I LIKE TO IMAGINE HOW THEIR KIDS WOULD LOOK LIKE! but I don’t want an au based on that *smoking pepe* That’s why I make my own ocs being mpreg...bc lately I haven’t been in the mood for whole AUs with mpreg...I love to see the many combis of how the kids might look (and drawing the preggy uke DONT AT ME IS2G) but I don’t want them to mix with my vision of a ship, idk how to explain.
