For the meme. Starting with Ran
character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: OTP : Mitsuya, but also ship him with Akashi, Kakucho, Sanzu, South, and a little bit of Koko.
favorite friendship: his friendship / relationship with Rindou is really my favorite... you can't have Ran without Rin, and just how Ran seems to worry over his brother really tugs at my heart. But, the friendship we've recently seen develop between him and Kakucho is also really special. Ran has such a strong big brother energy, and I'm glad he's kind of extended that brotherly affection to Kakucho.
general opinions: I LOVE ran so much. He's definitely in my top 5 favorite characters. I didn't really get the hype for him at first, but after seeing more of the fandom's perspective on him, especially the eastern artists on twitter, it really made me see why everyone loves him so much, and made me love him too. We only know so much about him in canon because he's just a secondary antagonist, but the little snips we've seen of him and his personality just really hit all of my boxes. (Plus, I've always been one to prefer side characters and rarer pairs, so, having such a strong love for Ran just makes sense for me). I also really love his character desgin, and the differences between his appearance in his 13, 18/20, and 30 year old selves.... love it. Love him!
