Ignis is currently an AI who’s only an eyeball, and Yuusaku gave him the name Eye/AI because of that.
Shutting Down
While the running poll results as they stand are still well within the ‘continuing to run’ threshold, I’ve come to the decision that I can’t run vrship anymore. At this point, what I’m getting out of running it doesn’t compare to what it’s taking out of me in terms of energy and stress, so for my own sake I’m stepping down.
To those of you who’ve supported vrship and brought your comments to me, whether support or criticism: I’m pretty sure you guys are the majority, and for that I want to thank you. I’m sorry for dropping vrship like this.
To the group of you who’ve been very vocal about criticisms without actually bringing them to me: The majority of them are moot at this point, so I’m only going to address one: yes, I agree that the ask about CyverseDragonshipping would have been better addressed in a separate post than answered directly. The user in question had previously ignored submission rules and sent time-wasting joke asks prior to their attitude there, and I’ll admit that as a result I was annoyed and just responded directly without thinking that decision through.
To anyone who plans to take up the reins: Let me know what url you’ll be using, and I’ll promo it.

Ignis x Yuusaku / YuuIgu
Aiballshipping
Ignis is currently an AI who’s only an eyeball, and Yuusaku gave him the name Eye/AI because of that.
Cyberse/Cyverseshipping
Ignis is the one who originally severed the connection to the Cyberse/Cyverse, and uses it to summon data storms. Yuusaku uses the Cyberse/Cyverse archetype.
Discshipping
Ignis is currently living inside Yuusaku’s duel disc.
Note: There’s an extra question this week - basically, Cyberse is the official spelling used in-show and in the official subs and such, but Cyverse is the spelling that was being used in the pre-CR subs, and the suggestion was originally submitted as Cyverseshipping. So there’s an extra question on which spelling you guys would prefer, and that’ll apply if Cyberseshipping/Cyverseshipping wins the overall vote!
Please vote here!
Update 05/31/17
The results of the Kusanagi x Yuusaku poll are in! The poll asked ‘Should Kusanagi x Yuusaku be confirmed as Hotdogshipping, or wait until next week to vote?’:
Confirmed as Hotdogshipping (72.7%)
Wait another week (27.3%)
So Hotdogshipping will be added to the list!
That means there won’t be any votes this week - we’re waiting on seeing Aoi outside of VRAINS before we vote on Aoi x Yuusaku - but I do have some suggestions in the inbox ready to start pending on Saturday, so look forward to those.
Also, as a note: please don’t submit names through the IM system! I have IMs open so that you guys can ask questions, but I need to be able to post name suggestions to the blog so please send those via ask!

With the VRAINS air date only a week away now, I wanted to remind everyone that this blog exists!
The exact process of how submissions will work and what kind of timeframe/voting method vrship will have for name confirmation isn’t totally settled yet, which is where you guys come in - what kind of things do you have in mind for it? What kind of things do you think have and haven’t worked for the previous shiplists? What kind of rules do you want there to be about who can and can’t name ships, or what those names can be? What kind of timeframe do you think there should be between names being suggested and names being confirmed?
I’ll be setting up a poll in the next few days to start getting definite answers on how the fandom wants the shiplist run, but in the meantime please do hit up the askbox to let me know your thoughts!
