Rules: Choose 5 otp’s without looking at the questions in the read more first, then tag five people. In no particular order:
AkiShinji (p3)
KouAo (dmmd)
sourin (free!)
bagginshield (the hobbit)
yukichie (p4)
1. Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 5?
Ooh pretty quickly, I'd say, but I was definitely sold when we got to their shadows
2. Have you ever read fanfiction about 2?
Surprisingly, I don't read a lot of dmmd fanfiction (you'd think I would but...)
3. Has a picture of 4 ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr id?
Bilbo used to be my tumblr icon back in the day, but that's it.
4. If 3 were to suddenly break up today, what would your reaction be?
NO STOP IT YOU LOVE EACH OTHER WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN
5. Why is 1 so important?
Oh no ok
No matter how you read it, there's no doubt that they truly love each other. More importantly, it's pretty obvious that they're each the most important person in the other's life. Akihiko fights tooth and nail to keep Shinjiro in his life and Shinji worries about Aki constantly. Much of Shinji's social link is centered on Aki and his relationship with him. One of the primary goals of s. links is to learn/understand the other character, so the fact that Aki has such a strong presence in Shinji's link proves that Aki himself is incredibly important to who Shinji is and what his character is about. They grow, grieve, and fight together, even though they're often apart. There's this deep bond between the two that's pretty rare in any relationship, whether it's romantic, platonic, fictional, real, or otherwise. The mutual care, concern, and love between them is unquestionably genuine. I guess it's important because of that- it's a genuine, believable love.
(I could honestly write so much more about them but I'll stop here)
6. Is 4 a funny ship or a serious ship?
Serious and PAINFUL
7. Out of all your ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry?
all of them After Battle of the Five Armies, I've gotta say bagginshield
8. Of all the ships, which ship has the strongest bond?
Probably AkiShinji or kouao (which are very similar ships, so it makes sense)
9. How many times have you read/watched 2’s fandom?
Oooh I used to follow like ALL the kouao blogs (but lately I've unfollowed a few and people have moved on to other things so)
10. Which ship lasted the longest?
In their universe? KouAo. In mine? Bagginshield I've shipped that since the first movie bye
11. How many times, if ever, has 5 broken up?
Never they are together forever always (I guess you could count when Yukiko got suuuper busy with Inn stuff? But I don't count that so)
12. If the world was suddenly to thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 1 or 3?
Oh definitely AkiShinjii I mean Aki's a trained fighter and future bara babe and Shinji has a fucking axe (oh and they have personas I guess)
13. Did 4 ever have to hide their relationship for any reason?
If they did they did a bad job at it. Did you SEE the way Thorin looked at Bilbo throughout the last movie?
14. Is 5 still together?
Yup.
15. is 1 canon?
[WEEPS] (no, not explicitly)
16. If all five ships were put in a couple’s hunger games, which couple would win?
Probably bagginshield? Thorin's a great warrior and Bilbo's really cunning so I feel like they'd make a really good team.
17. Has anyone ever tried to sabotage 5’s ship?
wh A T no (I guess you could count that creeper who asked Yukiko out at the beginning PFFF)
18. Which ship(s) would you defend to death and beyond?
Sourin, AkiShinji, and Bagginshield probably
19. Have you spent hours a day going through 3’s tumblr page?
Yup
20. IF AN EVIL WITCH DESCENDED FROM THE SKY AND TOLD YOU THAT YOU HAD TO PICK ONE OF THE FIVE SHIPS TO BREAK UP FOREVER, WHICH SHIP WOULD YOU SINK?
I'd say bagginshield because it's such a tragic, doomed pairing anyway [cries]
