Hi....! If you don't mind, can I ask, who are your top 7 favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series/etc (can be canon or non-canon) and your top 10 favorite characters ever from any media? Why do you love them all? Thanks if you want to answer....

Yay, I love your asks so much!! They always inspire me to think deep on the things I love, and why. Love that shit.

I was able to answer your previous ask about my top 10 favorite characters a few months ago, so I'll keep this post about favorite ships, for simplicity's sake. :)

But before I begin my list, I should clarify that I love these ships for a variety of reasons. Some of them I enjoy because of the genuine romantic draw, others because of how compelling they are, regardless of how healthy they may be. So let's get into it. >:D

Suzaku Kururugi/Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass - this relationship is, quite possibly, my favorite ship of all time. If there is a dynamic to be had between them, they have it. Good, bad, ugly, the answer is yes, and they CANNOT keep themselves from loving each other. I quite literally cannot compare most ships to them, because there is no use in doing so. Nobody has what they have.

Claire Fraser/Jamie Fraser from the Outlander series - HETERO SHIPS HAVE GOOD SHIT WHEN THEY'RE WRITTEN WELL, and Outlander is just...one of the greatest book series I've ever read, full stop. The live-action tv series does them justice, which is a beautiful rarity, as well. But this relationship never stops being interesting, and that's saying something. I've followed their relationship from the early stages, to their years of development, and by God, these bitches have been married for decades, and I am still invested!!!!

Katsuki Bakugou/Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia - the childhood friends to lovers trope is, admittedly, a huge favorite of mine (Suzaku/Lelouch from Code Geass have this as well). That being said, we also have the added layers of one of them bullying the other during their middle school years. This complex, unhealthy dynamic transforms into a slow burn of becoming friends again through a painful and grueling process of shared trauma and joint character development. It is CATNIP to me, I tell you.

Obi Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars - I have a particular fondness for mentor/mentee relationships that skew to the sharp end of obsession, when they aren't careful. Obi-Wan was meant to be a guardian, a teacher to the orphaned Anakin. But Anakin grows up, and the age gap isn't big enough to keep their relationship looking strictly familial anymore. They live together, they lead armies together, they are seen as an unstoppable force that must not be separated. And even after Anakin gets old enough to where he no longer needs to do so, he never stops calling Obi-Wan "master," which is unnecessarily kinky of him, imo.

Maomao/Jinshi from The Apothecary Diaries - a straight relationship that is written so well, and so compellingly, I never have any desire to read fanfiction about them. Natsu Hyuuga writes them so flawlessly that, fanfic, for me, is a pale shadow in comparison.

Jonathan Sims/Elias Bouchard from The Magnus Archives - this one's a toxic pairing that I just cannot resist. Their relationship started out as what was meant to be trust and mentorship. But their unhealthy, psychosexual fixation on one another not only forces our main character into a role of profound destruction and tragedy, but it also manages to make their interactions much hornier than is strictly necessary. Elias groomed Jon without his consent into becoming something horrific and monstrous, and in the end, Jon doesn't go out without dragging Elias down with him.

Atsushi Nakajima/Ryuunosuke Akutagawa from Bungou Stray Dogs - WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD OL' RIVALS TO LOVERS TROPE??? They both come from incredibly tragic backgrounds, and neither can really say the other has had it better. Only through fighting on opposite sides over and over do they realize valuable, life-changing, life-altering things about themselves. They hate each other, have actively tried killing each other many times, but have slowly come to realize how alike they are. They accidentally became the motivation for the other to live, and went on fighting both against each other and for each other like it was nothing. They consider themselves partners, but won't say it out loud.

Lestat de Lioncourt/Louis de Pointe du Lac from The Vampire Chronicles - These bitchy vampires make their centuries-old "on again off again" relationship everyone's problem. To be fair, they're probably soulmates. Okay, they're absolutely soulmates. But immortality doesn't always correlate with monogamy. It takes them a few hundred years to learn how to share, and they're...arguably still not the best at it. But after 13 books, they learn to make it work.

Satoru Gojou/Kento Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen - They went to high school together, then separated afterwards. Both of these characters had best friends who died horrific deaths--friends who may have also been their first loves. Losing these loved ones wrecked them, and they cope in drastically different ways. In their late 20's, though, they reconnect. They become friends again, they begin working together to guide the younger generation in the gruesome, terrible occupation they work in. They are a sort of new beginning to one another. They don't try to replace the ones they lost, but instead they build something new, something stronger and more beautiful together, to make their future worth living.

Vanitas/Noé Archiviste from The Case Study of Vanitas - and here we have the classic doomed yaoi trope. We are told at the beginning of the story that Vanitas dies in the end. We just don't know how he dies (we still don't know, as the story isn't finished). Their relationship is the classic, "grumpy introvert adopted by a peppy extrovert" speedrun, except the vicious vampire in this scenario is the peppy extrovert. Our grumpy introvert, Vanitas, though human, is a vampire doctor, and works to cure vampires who have been cursed. He, himself, hates vampires. Yet he unwittingly acquires a new vampire friend who has decided that they should be besties forever. It's comedy gold, but takes a sharp turn into tragic, heartbreaking revelations of character development that neither of them were remotely ready for.

God, it was hard to narrow it down to only 10 fave ships, but I managed it! Thank you so much for this phenomenal ask, I loved answering it! <3

In the Q&A (on reddit) Uru-chan confirmed that John has a crush on Claire. What. I'm betting that people are going to use this as an excuse to ship Jemi.

how would people use it as an excuse to ship jemi? because they’re both abusive relationships?

I shipped jaire when they first became friends, then it spiraled into a pit of abuse and hurt :’D

it shouldn’t be used to validate jemi, and while I don’t really care about jemi shippers, the ship is wrong to both john and remi and I don’t like it
