if I had a nickel for every ship where both parties are too self-sacrificial for their own good and try to out-self-sacrifice the other,

I would really expose the type of ships I like

Have i ever posted this one here

first base is complete drift compatibility across a battlefield with no prior interaction, second base is being shot in the head, third base is being their only visitor during a life sentence in prison

Inaho and Slaine play "Date Night"

Slaine: *Pulls a card* Rapid-fire — "Pet names you have for each other". We can't do this. Inaho: Why not? Slaine: This will end in just two turns! Inaho: I don't think so. Slaine: You don't? Start, then. Inaho: Rei. Slaine: Nao. See— Inaho: Bat. Slaine: ...Orange. Inaho: Gull. Slaine: What?! Uh— Lowly Terran! Inaho: Count Troyard. Slaine: Are you serious— Lieutenant Kaizuka! Inaho: ...And that was eight turns, and you won. Slaine: Guh...! I don't feel like I won...

orangebat has to be my fav deadship. i never see any art or fics for them unless i dig but they're always on my mind.

there's one specific fic i read 7ish years ago that got me invested big time in their relationship and i regularly reread it at least once a year.

Slaine gets on inaho's nerves, sure, but he's also the only one who can make Inaho laugh like that 😉

A thought on A/Z hell, years later

God I can't believe it's been ten years since this series came out.

I can't say that it's happened every year, but fucking hell I got dragged back into this after being reminded of babyboi™️ Slaine's bday and subsequently going through the entire catalogue on AO3, exactly zero people are surprised

This series haunts me like no other and I still haven't been able to bring myself to rewatch it, even after so many years. The appreciation, respect, and love I feel for the creators in this fandom is unmatched; I hope we can continue to share the mosaic of emotions that have been inspired by the characters and stories of this godforsaken series for years to come.
