favorite ships for the new year?
looks around. what, just generally? 👀 ouue,,, how does one go about doing that so casually,
GoreGuts ( The Narrator x OC; The Stanley Parable ) of course;
i can't begin to describe in words what this ship has done to me over the course of the 3-ish years it's existed, but i'll have you know it's the most devastating & visceral thing i've ever seen & one of the most invested i have ever been in regards to a ship
( that you know about (( when i tell you about all the crossover ships i've formed in rp with my friends & all the lore that comes with that you will keel over, )) )
NanaIwa ( Shuu x Kazuaki; Hatoful Boyfriend ) my more recent addiction,
the DEFINITION of " toxic yaoi "; to forcibly become a man's EVERYTHING after he ripped what fragments of happiness you had right out of your hands,, to be stripped of all your influence & might by a victim you didn't think twice about & be reduced to his very own patient; how ironic for a doctor fallen from grace... ouhhh my god.
the game's final ending will make You a believer. i mean- what i just described doesn't explicitly happen but i don't think it's that far of a stretch to assume Either. of course, i could be insane;
KingShuu ( Shuu x The King; Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star )
this one's hard to explain without full context but just know it involves two dead guys & the co-dependency that comes with being the Only two dead guys in a separated section of the afterlife.
one of them was coerced into suicide & went on to Make this separated section of the afterlife & the other was passively suicidal to begin with & got dragged Into this afterlife by the other prematurely & just let himself go. there's also a bit of " the royal dates one of his would-be servants " going on except the king's a pussy & the would-be servant could kill him twice, so it's really just strange & gross & unusual in there. once again a ship built off of co-dependency because there Is no one else for either of them,
Godiance ( Godseeker x The Radiance; Hollow Knight )
who doesn't love a bit of god x devout, eh? godiance FEELS right, with the godseeker & her tribe's undying adoration & worship fueling the radiance's EXISTENCE & both of them needing the other to survive ( albeit in different ways ),,, oh- more co-dependency, t'would seem i'm a sucker for that,
there's also something so Damning about how the godseeker's worship toward the radiance directly perpetuates the plague of hallownest but that's Probably not a concern to her / a blessing in her eyes & that just makes me downright insane, especially considering the endings that involve godseeker - feeling vaguely like a representation of them both going down & Needing to, as a pair, to wipe the radiance & her plague from existence,
godseeker ( & by association, her girlfriend ) makes me upset did you know that,
Godseeker x The White Lady/Midwife/Flukemarm/Herrah - any of the other women in hollow knight unironically,
i assure you there's an ungodly amount of potential in godseeker, the devout directly attuned with the gods, interacting with anyone from the Gods Themselves to Important Figureheads Linked to The Gods to even the random villagers around dirtmouth,, & they all just so happen to be lovely bug women 😳 please invite me to go on at length another day,
Sagimita ( The Ultimate Imposter x Ryouta Mitarai; Danganronpa )
OH LOOK MORE CO-DEPENDENCY; a young man who desires to abandon his identity in order to work himself to death in peace & another who desires to steal others' identities just to feel like they exist - their desires were one in the same. & then they sort of got tangled together as the imposter gave too much of a damn about ryouta's wellbeing & now they're situationshipping me into a FUCKING GRAVE. they just introduce a REALLY interesting dynamic to me, & invite some Delicious slowburn as the anti-social animator slowly lets the imposter into his heart against his will.... yum,
& put mikan in there for some Extra spice,
SagiKiyo ( The Ultimate Imposter x Korekiyo Shinguji; Danganronpa )
i don't even have good reasons to ship these two but i Do because they are my favorite characters & this is simply what happens,
FujiGishi / Chigishi ( The Ultimate Imposter x Chihiro Fujisaki; Danganronpa )
issues with identity & gender identity,,, finding solidarity in another who deals with similar problems.... size difference....... i'm running out of steam here but it's actually a dynamic i'd Really like to explore someday,
FowlPlay / ChickenDinner ( The Narrator x Shuu Iwamine / Rosemary Baker x Shuu Iwamine (( or polycule it )) )
no i don't know either. indulgences. you'd be surprised how well i think it could work. THIS ONE I JUST TURN OVER IN MY BRAIN SOMETIMES
UM YEAH. I SHIP A LOT OF THINGS & not a lot of things at the same time,,, but feel free to come back & ask for more if so you are that intrigued.... if i listed all of them Ever here we would be here for decades,
SO TAKE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED & CONSIDER THESE SHIPS AS NEW BRAINROTTING MATERIAL FOR YOUR NEW YEAR,
