Shipping Thread!

[NeeNee]

It is. But the person who made the poll only included straight ships for some reason.

We've got a thread for yaoi though.

and mephisto is so creepy T T
seriously. what the bloody hell XD
am I the only one who jumped back after scrolling down?

[Wikkelsoee]

Hey Chino! Nice to see you again
And what do you mean Mephisto's creepy? He's simply spying on two of his students in one of their houses, while they share a private moment together. There's nothing wrong with that at all *sarcasm*

Someone on the chat last night posted this:

[5:28 AM] wondersmith: thats why i ship Yukio and shura
[5:28 AM] wondersmith: she fights back
[5:28 AM] wondersmith: doesn't let him wallow in his own self-hatred
[5:29 AM] wondersmith: rin on the other hand needs someone who is very accepting
[5:29 AM] wondersmith: someone like shura would just reinforce his negative self image
[5:29 AM] wondersmith: sorry, this suddenly became my ship manifesto:P

I don't ship Yukio x Shura myself, but s/he does have a point. With Shiemi, Yukio might be able to 'feel at peace', but it would do little to stop his downfall if his self-loathing gets the better of him. He might actually be better off with someone who slaps some sense into him, though they shouldn't intentionally try and get on his nerves (I actually think the relationship between him and Shura is not healthy. Her constant teasing only makes him frustrated more).

Rin... well, ironically, he has the same problem, which is low self-esteem. But he is much more open to advice, so someone telling him he's great might actually work in this case. I do think he benefits more from his relationship with Shiemi than Yukio does atm.

[earthforge]

Yukio is the only person who can fix Yukio. He is a horrible choice for serious shipping right now because of his wealth of self-denial.

Rin, OTOH, is much more emotionally healthy and thus has more relationships. I think he is prime shipping material for that reason. You could ship him with almost anyone.

Except for Renzou now. That ship just went completely shady, along with RenzouxIzumo.

I still like Renzou/Izumo! It just got a little bit more... complicated and, erm, lively. Got some colors, you know

Right?!! Its more angsty and full of betrayal, but knowing shima he would probably be charming and he'd probably be his 'old self' in his demeanor, but knowing izumo she would be angry and unforgiving{with a reason} and yesssss, i like this. I thought RenzouxIzumo was cute before, now i think its caliente.

i also ship RinxIzumo for reasons that to me Rin and Shima are both similar, shima being a little for perverted, but I can see why I ship her with rin. Since the bath incident and rin saw izumo crying, I couldnt get this ship out of my head *guilty*

[Wikkelsoee]

I'm starting to like RenzouxIzumo more after the newest chapter I don't mind BonxIzumo either, but they would never admit liking each other.

Yes, both Bon and Izumo are too hardheaded to admit that the way they argue is the way they show their love for eachother.

Some lovely Izumo/Shima pages

pages 28, 34 and 35

Edit: fixed links

[NeeNee]

^ Your links don't work.

But I must say that the Izumo/Shima ship is all but dead for me. She was finally starting to open up a little, and then he stabbed her in the back (both literally and figuratively). She'll never forgive him. Even if for some reason he manages to make it back into the group, I don't think Izumo will ever talk to him again.

[Anya]

^ That's too harsh. Ok, he stabbed her but at the same time he got a lot more interesting, powerful, mysterious and interested in her - in a twisted way, I admit, but still. If he keeps up that approach she will have to change her attitude to more serious, for good or bad.

[chinonamida]

^keep what approach?

abducting her? confining her and using her?


she is going to take him more seriously but not in the way you hope for

if nothing else, she will be scared of him and that will turn into hate not interest.
