...now that I think about it, I now understand what is the main thing that attract me to a ship.

It’s not really about their appearance or characters. Hell, one of my ships from Persona (Akechi/Akira) is vastly different to BSD (Dazai/Atsushi). Akechi/Akira is almost on a verge of toxic and there are only few fanfics that can mixed the way they clashed with each other while also grow with each other. Dazai/Atsushi is milder and easier to write fluffs without being too OOC since both trust each other.

It is their dynamic that I love.

I love it when the relationship started off so unequal too each other. Character A can be a mentor/leader/older/stronger/perfect like figure while character B is student/subordinate/weaker/younger/filled with flaws like figure. I love it when character B learns or even be envious of the character A. I love it when character B grows under the tutelage of character A or just because from spite. I love it when character A was surprised at the growth of character B. I ESPECIALLY love it when character B managed to stand by character A’s side as their equal eventually and character A started to depend and trust them more. I FREAKING love it when the supposed to be ‘perfect’ character A breaks down or showed a vulnerable side that no one else but character B saw due to the trust they had both culminated in their journey together. THAT IS MY JAM. MY BREAD. MY BUTTER.

A lot or most of my ships are revolved around this kind of dynamic. Each ship has their own way with dynamic, not quite the same but similar with each other that always left me breathless and sobbing from emotions. I am attracted to that struggle for both of them to become equal and to trust. When in the end they managed to do that, it feels so satisfying that I’m left in a puddle of happiness goo.

I do love other dynamics than this one, but I think otps with this kind of dynamic tends to be my otp or stay longer in my heart than others.

August 2018: Geiko Ichitaka (Ichi Okiya), Maiko Katsuki (Daimonji Okiya), Geiko Naokazu (Nakasato Okiya) and Geiko Umeha (Umeno Okiya) of Kamishichiken dancing in the center during the Bon Odori. They were performing on a raised platform, leading the other dancers who where dancing around them in a circle.

O-Bon is an important holiday celebrated all across Japan during which many people return to their hometowns to visit their families and honor their passed ancestors by visiting and cleaning their graves. It traditionally includes a public dance meant to invite the spirits of the ancestors, Bon Odori, which the Maiko and Geiko of Kamishichiken take part in every year.

It has been celebrated for over 500 years, lasts for three days and takes place on three different dates, depending on the region. Many parts of eastern Japan celebrate it around the 15th of July, many parts of southern Japan celebrate it around the 15th of August, and some places celebrate it on the 15th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar, which differs every year. O-Bon is not a public holiday, but most people get these three days off.
