@apiice​ for context here was the original post but as promised i will elaborate now that i have slept and recovered some braincells and immediately sold them to boifang in exchange for serotonin (dopamine?)

so like as a multishipper it doesn’t take that much for me to ship something like even jsut the Concept of a pairing without any onscreen interaction is enough for me to go ‘omg they could have something’ but that’s all it is. the whole ship exists as an assumed or headcanonned entity in my head and while i have gotten super invested in entire ships solely based on what they ‘could have been’ or ‘would be if they were together’, there’s not necessarily anything in the canon material to indicate that.

if we go to the more popular ships, usually there’s at least some kind of interaction onscreen or some moments of ship fuel or crumbs which for the purpose of this rant i will call Fanservice. fanservice-wise we actually get a heckton of goboi and gofang and ill go so far as to say that yayi in its entirety exists as these ‘fanservice’ moments until m0nsta dares to develop yaya and ying further as characters. of course ramenzo is 100% fanservice based because neither ramen nor kaizo nor anyone whos known them for that matter has ever actually addressed anything to suggest they were Actually a thing.

now is where the linked essay comes in because boifang isn’t just superficially the two most popular separate male characters in the show (i dont know why i included male i dont think the fandom cares much about the girls at all) being fujoshi slammed together (i mean ok yeah there are fujoshis but this essay is kind of the opposite of that perspective) for the sake of gay. its two characters who have CANONICALLY undergone character development in relation to each other in a significant arc ONSCREEN. yes bbb explored his emotions and yes fang stood up to his brother but fang actually went from isolating himself from people to actively trying to be bbb’s friend and bbb went from gatekeeping him from his friend group to literally sobbing when fang betrayed him.

whether monsta wants to acknowledge it or not after all this time, they very much did put boi and fang in a high stakes situation where they had a choice between being together or apart and they very much confirmed that they would go thru torture for each other like these two would die for each other whats not clicking 

so you have this very deep connection that they both have come to share and like you cant just write that development by accident it is Consistent through s3 and while it does get generally forgotten by galaxy (which is inherently a soft reboot) it’s definitely still there when we get scenes like ‘pergi je boboiboy’ (god my heart) so like someone on the monsta writing team really went and did that.

but at the same time someone on the monsta writing team ALSO decided that we are gonna get scenes like tHIS

and this

which are just blatant ship fuel for anyone who has ever shipped a ship??? this isn’t even all of them but im just here scratchign my head like

monsta. u did this. u did this and then u get mad at us for pointing it out. wHAT GIVESSSSS

i think one of the reasons boifang works so well as a ship is that fang is such a major character in that he’s one of the few characters who got a dedicated development arc and that arc revolved completely if not exclusively around boboiboy

like he’s too important of a character to ignore especially after all the work they invested in him - so he’s part of the main recurring cast - but he’s unique in that his entire character was basically crafted to center around bbb

take adu du for example; his motives never directly involved bbb but rather bbb filling those roles: adu du needs koko, bbb stops him. adu du wants ochobot, bbb has ochobot. adu du loses probe, bbb helps him get probe back. you could replace boi with anyone else who happened to be in that situation and it would be the same for adu du’s character arcs.

fang is completely different; his whole arc in s3 was about boboiboy. yes, because boboiboy happens to be the one whos more popular than him, yes because boboiboy is the one who he has to steal the watches from, but at the end of the day the obsession he develops is with boboiboy

especially rewatching s3 i notice fang really chasing after bbb because he wants - even if he says the opposite - to be friends with boi. even tho he’s in a class full of people who clearly thinks he’s hot stuff, he’s constantly going after bbb’s friends and seeking bbb’s validation.

so you end up with a character who is the main character and a character who is a major supporting character who is obsessed with him and youre telling me not to notice a connection? not to mention the actual canon focus on the RELATIONSHIP between those two characters that happened in the s3 finale like they really didn’t have to do that and show us just How much bbb cares about fang and how Far hes willing to go for him and vice versa how much fang values bbb bUT THEY DID? and its consistent too like boi still seeks fang out to comfort him in later episodes so like point in case

WDYM BOIFANG ISNT CANON???
