You're doing a thing about pairings, huuuuuhhhhh? How about...let's see...Metal Bat x Garou! LET'S SEE YOUR SURPRISED FACE, CA. LET'S SEE IT.

Paper, I would have NEVER GUESSED you’d ask me about Badarou. Never ever. In a million years—okay…yeah no I can’t bullshit that much. It’s physically painful. Ahahahaha sorry, I couldn’t help but be a little shit XD I love you Paper, forgive me!

I consider this ship’s feelings: Mutual | Mixed | Strange | Awkward | Platonic | Sibling-like | One-sided | They don’t really like each other | (I say both Mutual and Mixed because Mixed, definitely, at first, what with Badd being a hero and all and Garou being the Human Monster. But after a redemption arc of sorts for Garou they’d definitely be mutual. Passionately mutual. Zenko might’ve accidentally walked in on that mutual-ness at one point, and then put them both in Time Out for not locking the door properly.)

I’d consider the relationship: Healthy | Awkward | Abusive | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together | (It’s awkward BECAUSE I see it as healthy? Maybe this is Paper’s influence over me talking, but yeah they kicked each other’s asses when they first met, but that was a Hero versus a Monster, and as a couple I think they’d be really good together, work as a team, and even when they fight and bitch at one another it always ends with awkward apologies and make-out sessions. So yeah, I like it, and I think it’s a good pair~♥)

Children: No | Yes | They’d think about it | (Hear me out! Zenko would be like the first phase in them having a kid, because she’s still so young and they’d have to raise her together until a certain point where she becomes independent enough that they can think of another kid that’d be their ACTUAL kid. And I can see them being enthusiastic about the idea, if not agreeing on a lot of things like boy or girl, adoption or a surrogate mother, etc. They’d get their shit sorted out at some point, more than likely because Zenko stepped in and moderated until everyone agreed, and then they’d go through with it and wind up not caring about how they got the kid, or what it identified as in the end, but would love the SHIT out of it. And imagine how protective they’d be over it, Zenko taking up a bat of her own because she takes being an Aunt very seriously. My heart~♥)

General Opinion: I used to not even know about this ship, from when I first got into the fandom a year ago to when I got back into the fandom just this year in April (Sports Anime had taken the top spot in my life during that time—still love OPM, don’t get me wrong, but I go through fandom phases at very random points). Then I read a handful of Genosai fics to ween my way back into the fandom, one of which was Green Tea and Kit Kats, and I didn’t even know the characters that well (Badd I knew from what I’d seen of him in the anime, I hadn’t read the manga yet, and I knew nothing of Garou because, well, NO MANGA IN MY LIFE YET) but I LOVED THEM. Weird, right? I had no idea what Garou even looked like but I loved their catty way of talking to each other, always giving each other shit and Zenko just like ‘yeah this is normal, can I colour this picture now?’; I was in love.

So then I dive head first into this fandom, meet all these awesome people and get exposed to all this amazing content, finally read the manga, and the re-read Green Tea and Kit Kats. My love skyrockets because now I know EXACTLY who they are, what they look like, how they are in canon versus this fic, and it’s just so perfect and good~♥♥♥ So yeah, needless to say, I do indeed love this pairing!
