What's your opinion on fridge sheep Shion?
okay so let’s do two parts to this, what i think of shion and what i think of fridging him. keep in mind i am so very tired so this may not be coherent
firstly let’s go with the part that is likely to be shorter what do i think of fridging him. i think it’s acceptable sometimes but you have to justify it. now usually fridging isn’t justified but i also class “making someone the evil ex to get the otp together” as fridging, and when it comes to mialba shion already kinda fills that role lmao. his treatment of albafica is pretty unforgivable to me so i will fridge him as i please. but you have to justify it, don’t just make him a dick for no reason yknow? at least make him in character
anyhow what do i think of shion. i enjoy him! i like him a lot! i think he and alba could have a decent enough brotp if shion learned what fucking boundaries are! as a person he’s pretty good and he’s clearly trying and he also has five entire braincells. i really enjoy his dynamic with the aries twins, and aiacos, and his brotp with dohko, and frankly he’s the only valid pope. literally no other pope is valid (shoutout to sage for being the worst fucking person ever, i enjoy fridging the hell out of him), shion is the only good pope.
spectre shion is terrifying. frankly i don’t think classic did us good enough with the gold spectres which is one of many reasons why my fiancé’s fics make me wanna breathe properly, and spectre shion is pretty impressive. child shion in his gaiden Well. it’s not often someone tries to show a ten year old as super horny and i don’t find it a little repulsive but goddamn he was a horny ass ten year old and i am impressed. seriously why did we have a ten year old jacking off to the sexy memories of a gold cloth. why did that happen and y’all knew it was happening because not one but two people called him out on it (and why tf were the gold cloths down to fuck anyway. who let a ten year old have a harem of living but inanimate metal suits of armour. i keep calling the whole thing shion’s cloth harem but then i imagine ten year old shion like fuckin madness of duke venomania with gold cloths around him in fuckin victoria’s secret lingerie. i am so very tired.)
i think shion makes a real nice otp with aiacos. aiacos is all “ain’t you tired of being nice? don’t you ever wanna go apeshit??” and shion’s all “yeah and i’ll start by decking you” and then a shion’s like “ain’t you tired of going apeshit. don’t you ever want to just be nice” and then aiacos starts crying because maybe he does sometimes he doesn’t know. they’re supportive but also tease each other a lot and i just wanna see them realize together that yeah, they’re teenagers, but they’re also in a war and growing up inside that, and that they can’t be just two kids on a summer romance. they want to be on a summer romance so bad but there’s just trauma and slaughter and uncertainty and anyway give me that good good star crossed lovers
also shion’s lemurian so he’s human adjacent and that can mean whatever the fuck i want. that’s very sexy of kurumada i can make him an elf. circle browed elf boy who looked at minos’ hairstyle and went “i can do that but worse aiacos hold my chisel” and goddamn that happened
anyway. shion good. shion learning boundaries even better. shion.... Vawid
