Round 1: Poll 1

Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Emasculateshipping(Professor Cronos de Medici | Dr. Vellian Crowler/Napoleon | Jean-Louis Bonaparte)

Propaganda: As the Funny European Team Rocket Men of GX, the two are almost too obvious-- not just in how much time they spend together or how much of that time seems a bit too intimate for men who are supposedly just work buddies. The ship, with its participants being based on historical figures (obviously, Napoleon Bonaparte and the Medici family respectively), the ship therefore has a real-world historical precedent of sorts (Napoleon was Italian; two Medici women married into French royalty); the two have similar and compatible priorities (Cronos being first and foremost concerned with his babies-- ahem, *students*, while Napoleon is mostly worried about his own son; the step-father potential in Cronos is Immaculate) and, of course, the ship is very funny-- not in the least because you have two men, one single in his mid-thirties while the other is divorced in his fifties, thereby trying to navigate their relationship like a pair of stupid teenagers. But of course, there is also serious potential in the ship as well. After all, Napoleon's divorce means that he's going to be extremely anxious about screwing up a good thing again, while for Cronos it's a potential red flag that their relationship will end in disaster. The plot of season 3 also gives them both immense pain to work through, after all that they've been helpless as their respective kids suffered. It's easy to overlook them both, especially Napoleon (I promise that's not a joke at the expense of his height, he's just kinda mainly remembered for how he's introduced in season 2 as French Cis Cronos and has little unique character of his own until Martin's introduction), but there's absolutely something to engage with both in the characters themselves and in the interactions between them. Also they literally went on a picnic date while watching Judai duel once they're gay your honor

Pairing 2: Thirdshipping(Saotome Rei | Blair Flannigan/Martin Kanou|Marcel Bonaparte)

Propaganda:  Sometimes love is two weird outcast kids hurting each other and finding peace anyways

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will be consumed by Darkness.

I couldn't resist more excuses to draw The Funny European Men

They're probably Scheming but let's be honest this is really just a date and everyone knows that

Pairing 2: Tomorrowshipping(Tenjouin Asuka | Alexis Rhodes/Jim Crocodile Cook)

Propaganda: They complete each other! Jim’s focus on the past vs Asuka’s focus on the future, Jim’s nature theming vs Asuka’s technology theming, the way their attitudes complement one another. Not to mention “Tomorrow Girl,” the cutest nickname in the world.

Pairing 2: Lacunashipping (Yubel/Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton)

Propaganda: It's my absolute favourite !!! Two emotionally messes up goths together !!! Not only is it funny for Judai to be the 3rd wheel between his rival and his soulmate, but I also think Jun and Yubel can vibe together in their own weird way. Yubel is a living weapon who is very much not used to anyone other than Judai caring for or respecting them, so I think Jun's casual (and rude) attitude towards duel spirits would really Do Something to them emotionally. They should kiss sloppy style. They should

Ooh, we’re in danger... ♥

My piece for the YGO Rare Pair Mini-Bang on Twitter! Who’s surprised to see this ship from me. Again. lmfao

Listen I am going to forcibly shove as much of this ship into the GX fandom as I possibly can and No One Can Stop Me

(Also fun fact: I’ve had this done since like. November)

Accompanying AMV (which I made in the interim waiting for the claims to happen) and fic (which was inspired by both) will be linked to when they’re up in a reblog!

I needed to get myself out of a bout of art block/depression, so I lined +flatted a handful of Emasculateshipping doodles

(That ship name is still so funny and savage btw, and no I’m not inclined to change it as the ship’s current captain ...or general if you will)

I needed to draw another fix of the funny European men

- 3 SLOTS OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS, COMM. INFO IN PINNED

I got copics for Christmas and I decided to test them on drawing Cronos again with obvious gay flavour before the new year

I am very impatient with posting

More for the Chocobox Challenge! (alongside a second fic on my Ao3, cough) Prompt: Reunion

Yes I did make my main three contributions oops all Funny European Men, although I might manage to get out one or two more with a different ship if I find the time

- COMMISSION INFO IN PINNED

does this meme with the funny european men as stress relief

Commission Info!    

I finished that 30 OTP prompts thing on Twitter a while back, and for one of them-- Proposal-- I did this

This is about .2 seconds before Cronos bursts into tears because you know this man has never gotten the worship he deserves from another man before

(Also yes there are a million mistakes in this I scribbled it really quickly lmao)

-- COMMISSION INFO IN PINNED

I've been doing a 30 OTP prompt list for the funny European men on Twitter, here's some of the highlights so far

Commission info below!

I wanted some comforting Cronos content so I came up with this

Context I pulled out of my derrière: Cronos has to duel on behalf of DA to prove to KaibaCorp that the school is still worth funding

By the way there is almost no content for this ship and also the early GX fandom decided to call it “Emasculateshipping” which is the most savage ship name I’ve ever encountered

Commission Info!  

bestie encouraged me to finish this so I finished it

I am slowly dragging this fandom kicking and screaming into this ship and I won’t stop

Commission Info! / Palette Used

It took me AGES to figure out how to draw them smooching BUT I DID IT

Somewhere at the door one of the other school faculty is standing there like "um" 

Commission Info!

snuggle content, because we can definitely agree that these two share a bed at least 70% of the time yeah

(the other 30% is when napoleon is in the doghouse or cronos has been swept up into the current plot with the kids without him)

also cronos’ back is gonna hurt in the morning curling up around him like that but that’s just how it be when your boyfriend is half your height
